Chapter 362: The Situation in Jiaozuo

An Jie and Camby have been teammates for a season, but seeing this scene, An Jie is still very surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Marcus Camby's block is beautiful, he kills the Knicks' offense cleanly! And he actually growls at Shambaugh!" Mike Brin has seen so many wonderful scenes in the second quarter, first with Anjie's catch-and-shoot and now with Marcus Camby's explosive defense. This team has changed too much because of Anjie's existence. Even the 38-year-old veteran, who has been "stubborn", was ignited by An Jie's passion.

Shambaugh was still just a first-year rookie, and when he was yelled at by a 38-year-old veteran, he was completely stunned and didn't dare to say a word.

Fortunately, J.R. Smith came over and pushed Camby away, and Shambaugh found a way to get down.

"Alright Marcus, it's just a regular season game. "Smith knew that their first-quarter breakaway might have Camby on fire, but they couldn't help it, they had to use all the tricks to win.

When everyone on the Knicks ran back to their own half-court defense, Camby gave a thumbs up to Anjie on the bench. He is signaling An Jie to have a good rest, everything in the forbidden area is now carried by him!

"Marcus Camby's blocking was very positive, and oh my god, I don't know what the hell happened to this 38-year-old. However, the unlucky Knicks can no longer easily score points on the second team of the Trail Blazers. As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Conteny Lee took advantage of Camby's block and shot straight away.

Novak, whose defense was delayed by Camby, couldn't effectively stop Lee, and Conteney Lee didn't show mercy and threw in a three-pointer, which was a good match for Novak, who had a good performance in the first quarter.

Mike Woodson is now in the dark, and he thought that after Anjie was off the court, the game would be back in the hands of the Knicks. But judging from the current situation, it is not the Knicks who are gaining momentum, but the Trail Blazers!

The two big plans he laid out before the game have now been cracked by the Trail Blazers.

Indeed, if the game had gone the way Woodson had envisioned, the Trail Blazers would have had almost no chance of winning. It's a pity that the tactics are dead, but the players are alive!

In the face of difficulties, Anjie and the Trail Blazers will not wait for defeat to land. They will continue to challenge until all of the Knicks' plans are broken.

Just when Woodson was still depressed, the half-time competition between the two sides officially ended.

In the first quarter of the game, the Knicks led the Trail Blazers by a full eight points because of the excellent performance of the second team. In the second quarter, Woodson's original plan was to expand the result and firmly control the game. Unexpectedly, now the Knicks not only did not increase the score, but were also tied by the Trail Blazers!

55 to 55, Marcus Camby's sudden outburst hit everyone unexpectedly. It is precisely because of his excellent defense that the Knicks' second team's mission, which focuses on breakthroughs, has not been successfully completed.

Now, the two sides are back on the same page. Who will be the winner of the whole game will depend on what adjustments the managers of the two teams will make after a half-time game.

"Well done Marcus, we wouldn't have done it without you!" Riccard immediately praised Camby as he returned to the locker room.

As a 38-year-old veteran, Camby has been through so much. Ordinary encouragement is no longer possible to make any waves in the veteran's heart.

But this feeling of being recognized, needed, and valued is the favorite of veterans. Because that means they're not completely useless!

Mike Woodson thought about it, and the state of the Trail Blazers today was in an arc upward. The further back in the game, the better the group of guys will be. Some simple tactical coordination has been unable to stop the Trail Blazers from completing the harvest. The only thing he can do now is throw his best scoring lineup onto the court.

Therefore, as soon as the third quarter came up, Jeremy Lin, who had been very good at playing time, was pressed to the bench by Woodson. Many Chinese fans in front of the TV were disappointed, originally thinking that this would be a fierce battle between Jeremy Lin and An Jie. Unexpectedly, today's Jeremy Lin's sense of presence is outrageously low.

In fact, Jeremy Lin's performance is not bad, so-so. It's just that as a point guard, Jeremy Lin's independent offensive ability is still weaker. Now that Woodson has proven that he can't fight defensively, he will have to step up his commitment on the offensive end to take on the Trail Blazers.

As a result, J.R. Smith, Iman Shambaugh and Steve Novak, who came off the bench, took their place as the starters in the second half.

"Coach Woodson's lineup is very aggressive, and it seems that he is not going to be conservative anymore and is ready to go head-to-head with the Trail Blazers!"

However, the Knicks have Anthony as a super scorer, and even if they play against the Trail Blazers, they don't necessarily lose!

As soon as the game came up in the third quarter, An Jie obviously felt that the pressure behind him was not as great as it was in the first half.

Now that Woodson has changed the team's overall thinking, Stoudemire's focus has naturally shifted from defense to offense.

Now he just wants to hurry up and make a big impact on the offensive end, and his defense against Anjie is indeed not as attentive as in the first half.

In order to save strength, An Jie was in place at a deep depth before receiving the ball. In this way, once a teammate can pass the ball in, An Jie can directly attack the frame without advancing!

Just thinking about it, Gerard Wallace shifted the ball to the inside with a ground-hitting pass.

An Jie didn't act rashly after holding the ball, and he can now attack the frame without pushing, so it is particularly important to defeat the enemy with one move.

Seeing that An Jie had not exerted his strength for a long time, Stoudemire didn't know what An Jie was doing. Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the ball, An Jie's shoulder began to turn to the left!

Stoudemire's reflexes are definitely among the best in the league, and like Anjie, Stoudemire's nerves have always been very sensitive when it comes to interior defense.

Therefore, as long as Anjie moves, Stoudemire will follow. However, in the middle of a few tenths of a second, An Jie actually shook his shoulders for the second time and turned in the opposite direction!

Stoudemire couldn't believe his eyes, he was already an inside player with excellent athleticism and physical fitness. But even he couldn't change his center of gravity in such a short period of time. But An Jie's shaking of shoulders has been realistic and fast to this extent.

Shaking off the unresponsive Stoudemire, An Jie easily turned over and hit the ball into the frame with a jumper. If you want to attack, then let's start with the first ball!

"Ann's shoulder swing is beautiful! it's just fast, and it's very realistic. This is simply a standard shoulder shake that can be included in a textbook!" "In this league now, most players shake their shoulders just for show, and have no practical effect. However, An Jie's goal just now is undoubtedly a science popularization for fans of what a real shoulder shake looks like.

Olajuwon should be very proud now, because An Jie's shoulder shaking action can be said to be no worse than himself back then. Even the speed of the shoulder shake just now, even Olajuwon couldn't reach it!

However, the Trail Blazers fans didn't have long to be happy when Carmelo Anthony used a difficult three-pointer to put the score back in the lead.

This time Gerard Wallace's defense was impeccable, but Anthony was able to shoot the ball in the face of such a big interference. Perhaps, this is the difference between a superstar and an average football star.

Anjie did defend Stoudemire well, but the Knicks were not going to attack him, but Anthony!

On the second Knicks offense, Anjie tried to put Stoudemire some distance away to pay attention to Anthony's breakthrough and movement. But the downside of this is that Stoudemire will get a lot of opportunities.

Anthony did break through to the inside, and Gerard Wallace's defense relied more on his strong body. But this time, in the face of Anthony, the advantage of "Elvis" disappeared in an instant.

Anthony leaned on Gerard Wallace smoothly to get inside, even if Wallace still didn't leave an inch, Anjie still shrank under the basket uneasily.

"It's now!" Seeing Anjie move his steps, Anthony quickly got on the ball.

With that orange afterimage in sight, Stoudemire was already raising the basketball and preparing to complete the offense with a close-range jumper. Aldridge wanted to interfere with Stoudemire's shot, but "King of Fighters" Tyson secretly grabbed Aldridge's arm and made him unable to move.

Aldridge could only watch Stoudemire take a shot, and Anjie lunged at Stoudemire at this point, so no matter how big his range was, it was too late.

"Brush!" Stoudemire opened one hand to his ear, enjoying the sound of the basketball hitting the net, the cheers of the fans at Madison Square Garden.

This ball is not to blame Anjie for letting go of Stoudemire, if you want to blame, you can only blame Anthony for being too threatening. As long as he can attract Angel, Stoudemire has a chance to score.

However, the cheers at Madison Square Garden did not last long before the fans fell silent again.

It was a missed shot by Wesley Matthews, and Angel stood out from the crowd to grab the offensive rebound.

When he got the offensive rebound, Anjie was under the basket!In other words, if the defense was not tight, Anjie could easily take away the two points.

As a result, the Knicks' lineup shrank in a big arc, and An Jie even surrounded three people, hoping to steal the ball or force An Jie to complete the mistake.

But just when everyone's attention was on An Jie, a basketball jumped out of the crack and flew straight to where Aldridge was.

An Jie was surrounded by layers and really couldn't get up. But not being able to dunk doesn't mean that An Jie can't pass the ball in the crowd.

He accurately found Aldridge's position, and Aldridge also used his solid mid-range shooting to make another goal for the Trail Blazers.

The game has been played out in such a-for-tat situation since then, with Anthony and J.R. Smith scoring all sorts of incredible goals. And Anjie and Aldridge will also respond quickly.

The score was very scorching until the second team of both sides came on the court, and even until the end of the third quarter, the rhythm of the game did not change in any way.

The beautiful back-and-forth attacks from both sides were a feast for the fans, but it wasn't a good thing for the players. The further back in the game, the more pressure will be on both teams. Therefore, no one wants to play any critical moment of attack!

77-77, the score of the two sides is still equal. The atmosphere of Jiaozuo spread, and the fourth quarter of the game may be extraordinarily exciting.

It's always this Jiaozuo atmosphere, and it can't be dissipated for a while......
