Chapter 677: The Creator of Despair
McHale's heart was shattered when Howard finally lowered his haughty head, when Harden, who shot just 8-of-28 from the field, avoided the camera in shame, and when Parsons, who shot 3-of-11 from three-point range, told reporters that he was disappointed with his performance.
"It's over! 90-122, the defending champion Portland Trail Blazers created the largest point difference in the playoffs so far this season! These two teams probably shouldn't have met here at all, and the Houston Rockets aren't ready to make it out of the West. "Mike. Brin looked at the data in his hands in disbelief, the Rockets players were miserable, and the Trail Blazers players played smoothly one by one.
Anjie didn't play the whole game, but still had a big double-double of 46 points and 18 rebounds. Today, Lillard, the Trail Blazers' second point of attack, scored a playoff high 31 points and also dished out nine assists. Aldridge's stats weren't so impressive, with an average score of 18, but I have to admit that the Trail Blazers' second-in-command team also played at a good level today. Iguodala scored 14 points on 10 shots, which was quite efficient.
Just take out the data of the two teams and compare them, without watching the game, you know which is better and which is worse.
Yao Ming doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry now, the team that once made him inject countless efforts reached the Western Conference semifinals again after five years, but was beaten so miserably. But on the other hand, the young man who supported Chinese basketball after him did not disappoint him.
"It's incredible, is this really a playoff?" Jeff. After Van Gundy turned off the microphone, he also broke out in a foul language.
Come to think of it, if Presti hadn't been in a hurry to trade Anjie, who had just returned from injury and was not performing well, maybe it would be him and the Oklahoma City Thunder who are wreaking havoc in the Western Conference semifinals now.
Van Gundy shook his head vigorously, letting the illusion of unreality dissipate. Anyway, now Jeff. Van Gundy hopes that Anjie can go on forever.
Two consecutive championships seem to be getting closer and closer for An Jie.
A fantastic game has ended, but Anjie's fantastic season has not yet reached the ** part.

When the hustle and bustle of the pitch and the glitter of light faded, when the players dragged their tired bodies home. They need more care from their families than ordinary people.
Now, as long as An Jie sees Catherine by his side, the tiredness in his heart will be swept away.
"Hahaha, you played awesomely!" Hearing the door open, Catherine jumped up from the couch. She jumped on An Jie lively, not like a pregnant person at all.
"I can be better if you're there." Angel took Catherine's blonde hair behind her ears and kissed her wife's forehead.
"Hmph, you won't let me sit in the audience, so I won't go. It's so boring to watch the game in a luxury box, and there is no atmosphere at all. Catherine pouted in protest.
"Hehe, if you're coming to the next game, I'll allow you to go to the audience."
"Really!?" Catherine's eyes lit up, and the excitement was as exciting as when she was a child when her bearded man said he would buy herself a new dress.
"Of course it's true, I got you one...... A guardian who will take good care of you while I fight on the pitch. An Jie said, smirking proudly.
"Guardian?"

"Up, up. Oh! Hahahaha, it's so beautiful! Angier! Angier! Angier! Angier! ......" A middle-aged man yelled in the crowd, and at this time, everyone around him was also shouting for a person's name.
Just now, Anjie broke through the basket guarded by Asik with a flying dunk to help the Trail Blazers win the second offense.
This beautiful picture naturally greatly stimulated the nerves of Trail Blazers fans. Along with this frenzied atmosphere, this Sven man in a suit and leather shoes couldn't help but yell.
Next to the man, a girl clapped her hands vigorously. She didn't dare to yell or run like everyone else. But she is always cheering for An Jie in her own way, and this girl is already very satisfied with this.
The Rockets organized a counterattack, and James. Harden's pull-up mid-range jumper stumbled out again. That's right, again. James Harden has failed to score on his last five shots, and his smuddy fire has directly contributed to the Rockets' scoring rally coming to a standstill.
Anjie grabbed the defensive rebound again and unexpectedly advanced the ball himself!
Everyone on the Rocket team obviously didn't expect An Jie to do this, and their retreat looked very flustered. Moreover, these guys always unconsciously leaned towards An Jie.
An Jie saw that he had successfully attracted the defense, and An Jie, who dribbled across the middle line, suddenly made a long pass, and the French striker Batum, who ran to the bottom corner of the left side, received the ball and threw it.
In less than eight seconds after the whole attack, Anjie helped Batum find the open space and complete the assist. Once again, the stands at the Moda Centre were set on fire by Anjie, who also pointed to a spot in the crowd after Batum's goal and smiled at the fans there.
The keen photographers immediately mobilized their lenses and aimed them at the stands pointed by An Jie. Catherine, who is five months pregnant but still beautiful, appears in the center of the shot. And Catherine is surrounded by Anjie's manager Moslav and his wife and children.
Moslav, this is the guardian that Anjie found for Catherine. With Muslav and his family around, Angel doesn't have to worry about being pushed while Catherine is pregnant.
Besides, in the Moda Center, anyone who sees Catherine will get out of the way, let alone push and shove. Who made Catherine the queen of the Moda Center?
After Anjie assisted Batum for a three-pointer, the difference between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers became 15 points. Now the fourth quarter of the game has just begun, but the Rockets seem to have lost hope.
"You know what, Jeff, I think the Trail Blazers are still going to sweep their opponents in this series!" Mike sitting on the commentary podium. Brin and his partner Jeff. Van Gundy chatted.
"The only hope for the Rockets now is the next game at the Toyota Center." Van Gundy did not respond positively to Mike. Brin, but in fact, in the heart of this bald man, he also agrees with the statement of the sweep.
Defeat Team Rocket once or twice, you can still say that it was accidental. But this season, the Trail Blazers have been able to pull off victories every time they meet the Rockets. And now, in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers have cornered the Rockets for two consecutive games.
The NBA is indeed a place where miracles happen, but this miracle will not happen to the Rockets this year.
115 to 121, Catherine happily watched An Jie's performance at the Moda Center, and An Jie also gave back to his wife with a big victory.
With 43 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, An Jie scored 40+10 in the Western Conference Finals twice in a row. Such a performance is enough for An Jie to leave another chapter of his own in history.
After the game, An Jie hugged his wife and accepted an interview with reporters.
In the interview, An Jie's most common saying was that he was going to be a father, and he hoped that after his child was born, he would be able to proudly tell him: "Your father is a world champion!" ”
It can be seen that An Jie, who has won two consecutive games, is in a very good mood. On weekdays, An Jie rarely shares his off-court affairs with the media. But today, An Jie took the initiative to chatter.
Sam. Smith, Jordan's royal reporter and Anjie's nemesis, still made a different voice after the game.
"Anjie is a little too relaxed now, and when the game comes to Houston, it's going to be completely different. Such an arrogant guy will definitely reap the consequences! ”
Sam. Smith's voice was not drowned out by other explosive news, after all, what the world's most famous basketball reporter said would still be somewhat agreed by some people.
Two days later, the Western Conference semifinals came to Houston. As Sam . According to Smith, this game was really different.
The Rockets players may not be ready to give up just yet, and they are fighting their home court in the hope of delivering a win for their fans.
In this game, five of the eight-man Rockets scored double-doubles. However, when the game was over, not a single Houston fan could laugh.
They never expected that the Rockets would perform well, and the Trail Blazers would perform even better! Anjie stopped his crazy performance of scoring 40+ points today, but this guy still had 26 points and 9 rebounds.
Another 3-0, and everywhere the Trail Blazers went, there was nothing but endless despair. The Rockets now want to advance, and there is only a theoretical possibility. A day later, the Houston Rockets, once the red home of Chinese fans, will also perform their swan song of the season.
Hopefully, that day James. Harden can shoot more than 40 percent from the field. After all, this round of games has been played so far, James. Harden's shooting percentage has always remained around 30%, which is really miserable.
The entire Toyota Center is wrapped in a sound like "McHale gets out of class", miracle? Anjie specializes in miracles, but don't expect him to let you do the same.
It's another easy series, and the Trail Blazers' strength is hard to match even in the playoffs.
But Ricard and Angel knew that the easy days were over.
The playoffs are halfway through, the easy half, and now it's over. The later Western Conference Finals and the League Finals are the real tests for the Trailblazers and Anjie
But what does it matter? Now An Jie doesn't seem to fall under any problems......
