Chapter 656: The Twin Towers Merge

From the end of the three-game losing streak to the present, the Trail Blazers, who lack major generals, have achieved a good result of seven consecutive victories under the leadership of An Jie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, after Aldridge's return, most people think that the Trail Blazers' winning streak will be greatly extended.

Of course, it all depends on how Aldridge, who has made an early comeback, is in shape. Nowitzki will have to watch for the game today, too.

Aldridge stood next to Nowitzki after he came on the court, and "Nordridge" couldn't help but turn his head to look at the taciturn guy next to him. He seems to be excited, which is normal, and most players who have just returned from injury are excited. But whether you can play well or not, that's another matter.

At this time, An Jie's second free throw had already been thrown. The basketball slammed into the front of the basket, but it bounced into the net. With two free throws and two hits, the Trail Blazers also had a four-point lead over the Mavericks.

Now the Mavericks must continue to score to avoid further stretching the difference. If you fall behind by a large margin against the Trail Blazers, it will be almost difficult to complete a comeback.

Mavericks Spanish guard Jose Calderón didn't push fast, but the impatient Monta Ellis kept asking Calderon for the ball.

Calderon had a good hand today, but he still obediently gave the ball to Ellis, who had a better impact.

Ellis received the ball and was about to break through, but Wesley Matthews's rapid lateral movement caused Ellis to be deflated.

This guy took two steps with Matthews on his shoulder, and when he found that he couldn't move, he stopped and dribbled in place to observe.

Matthews' defense caused Divac to swing his fist, and just as everyone was speculating about what Ellis would attack next, he passed the ball.

On the Mavericks, there may be only one person who can make Ellis honestly hand over the ball. There is no doubt that this person is definitely Nowitzki.

Nowitzki knew he had to step up now, and in a round or two, Claire might be able to swap herself out according to the rotation plan. So the true leader of the Mavericks must seize the time of one or two rounds to equalize.

Aldridge quickly stuck to Nowitzki's back, and Nowitzki slowly turned to face the frame. Suddenly! He jerked to the right, intending to break through Aldridge's defenses.

Aldridge took two steps, just as he leaned his weight all over it. Nowitzki suddenly turned around on the spot, and before Aldridge could react, the "Norwegian King" who shook out of the space had already made a jump shot.

The corners of Nowitzki's mouth curled slightly, and it seemed that he was overly worried. When Aldridge comes on the pitch, his attack will be easier.

However, just as the basketball was about to fall, a big hand rushed up.

Anjie jumped high, slapped hard, and hit the basketball that Nowitzki threw back!

The bounce height and blocking strength of this block Anjie are addictive, and the powerful and heavy block is no worse than a dunk.

The basketball flew past Nowitzki's scalp, and Matthews jumped high behind Nowitzki to catch the basketball that Anjie fanned out.

Lillard kicked in quickly, and Matthews tacitly got on the ball. The Mavericks are definitely not a team known for their speed, and no one in the group on the court right now can run except for Monta Ellis.

Not to mention Delham Potter and Nowitzki, Calderon and Marion also belong to the "classic car" class on the outside.

Lillard rode the ball through the court with great speed. As soon as he stepped into the free throw line, Lillard was already leaping and gliding.

After stretching his body in the air, the zero defender slammed his arm hard. The tomahawk-style chopping buckle suddenly plunged the American Route Arena into silence.

"Doot toot!" After the dunk ended, the referee signaled for the game to be suspended. That's right, Claire must now pause. For an opponent like the Trail Blazers, six points behind is already very dangerous. What's more, the momentum of the Trail Blazers is still so strong now.

"Thanks, brother. As he walked off the field, Aldridge patted Anjie on the back. Of course, he was grateful for the block that An Jie had just helped him with.

"You know, there's no minutes left in the first quarter. I can't help you on the field later. Good Lamarcus, good work!"

"Don't worry, Ann, I just haven't come back to my senses just yet. ”

After the timeout, Divac did replace all the starters, bringing on Meyers Leonard and Aldridge as central strikers. Batum, Contney Lee and Miller Sr. form the perimeter.

It seems that this lineup is better on the inside than on defense. But even in the face of such a lineup, Claire can't come up with a guy who can open up the situation on the inside.

While the Mavericks have the likes of Vince Carter and Devin Harris on the bench, the two veteran guards still seem a little underwhelming compared to Aldridge in his prime.

What worries Nowitzki has happened, and Aldridge's activity on the pitch is much more than anyone could have imagined.

People can't believe that this is actually a guy who has just returned from injury!

Aldridge tortured the confidence of Mavericks fans with his flashy offensive skills on the court. And surprisingly, this guy's performance on the defensive end and rebounding is also very good.

Anjie's presence made the Mavericks slightly behind, and Aldridge's appearance made the Mavericks completely passive.

By the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks were 10 points behind the Trail Blazers. And it wasn't just Anjie who caused all this to happen, Aldridge's wonderful performance after his comeback caught Claire off guard.

"Well done buddy, your mother will be proud of you!" An Jie took the initiative to go up and hug Aldridge during the break.

In the last game, Aldridge could only watch Anjie lead the team to a big victory in a suit, and today, he must be involved in it!

In the midst of this anxious situation, Mavericks fans felt that this short interholiday break seemed like a long one.

Finally, the electronic beep sounded, and the timer above the rebound changed to 12:00 again. The second quarter of the game finally came, and everyone was expecting the Mavericks and Nowitzki to complete the comeback in the second quarter.

However, to the heartbreak of fans throughout the American Route Arena. Divac sent a lineup of two starters with three substitutes, and these two starters were none other than Anjie and Aldridge!

Trail Blazers acting coach Divac brought both Ann and LaMarcus on the court, and it was clear that he didn't want to give the Mavericks any respite. The Trail Blazers' offensive firepower is bound to be quite fierce in this quarter, and the Dallas people need to be careful!" Van Gundy dissected Divac's psychology thoroughly, and he believes that Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle also guessed Divac's intentions.

But the most desperate thing for a manager is when you know what they want to do, but you still can't do anything about it.

Aldridge and Angel are going to launch an onslaught, unless Carlisle can conjure up an O'Neill out of thin air, not even Tyson Chandler, who once guarded Dallas. Otherwise, he really has nothing to do on the defensive end.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks took the lead and their second-year rookie forward Jay Crowder picked up a pass and decided to break through.

But it's a pity that the striker, who is not known for breaking through, didn't dribble the ball a few steps before it was easily taken away by Batum.

Jay Crowder couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, not regretting his choice to break through, but regretting that he actually chose to leave Iowa State University back then.

If I had continued to play with Ricard and Morris, I might have learned more...... After moving to Marquette University, while Crowder's shooting became more accurate, his dribbling barely improved.

Batum took out the basketball and then controlled the ball himself, and everyone knew that the Frenchman was very good at passing, so everyone on the Mavericks was also very cautious.

Aldridge cut into the box quickly, and Anjie made a off-ball block for Aldridge. Aldridge pocketed the open space and Batum made a well-timed pass.

Aldridge received the ball and threw it, but Nowitzki arrived late and it was to no avail. And the basketball that was thrown by Aldridge fell steadily into the net as if it had been equipped with a remote control.

"The classic combination between Ann and LaMarcus, the Mavericks simply can't take the league's most offensive interior combination!"

In the second attack, Aldridge pulled into the middle distance, and Anjie was deep, but this did not prevent the experienced old Miller from feeding the ball in.

On the way, a somewhat unwilling Jay Crowder jumped high and planned to intercept the lob pass. But the ball passed by Miller Sr. to An Jie ensured that it could only be received by An Jie.

Don't forget, recruiting experienced veteran point guards is Anjie's own request. And the reason why I like these guys is that they can always get the ball to where it should be delivered.

After Anjie received the ball, he only faced the former Spurs veteran, and now the Mavericks backup center, Hudan Blair.

Blair swallowed, he knew that the only one who could help him now was God.

Angel didn't give Brian time to prepare, and he leaned back sharply after receiving the ball. Brian, who was already getting fatter and fatter than he was, couldn't afford such an impact, and he had to take a big step back.

An Jie went up against the wind, and Blair, who raised his hands high, completed a two-handed dunk on the spot.

Angel almost ignored Blair's defensive dunk, which completely broke the hearts of Mavericks fans. They now have to see that a team that has only won a championship in five years is no longer comparable to last year's championship.

Seeing Anjie and Aldridge acting recklessly on the field, Nowitzki couldn't help but shake his head.

He knew he had a responsibility on his shoulders. While winning and losing is not his thing, he still can't sit back when he sees the Mavericks in such a predicament.

"Boss, let me play. Nowitzki touched Claire with his elbow.

"You've only been resting for a few minutes!" Claire's anxious expression looked so desperate.

"It's okay, at least let me go up and stabilize the situation first. Nowitzki said, starting to take off his training clothes.

"Hey. Claire sighed, then told Nowitzki to report to the technical desk.

I have to admit that Nowitzki's attitude deserves everyone's respect. The status of this German in Dallas is what Anjie is in Portland.

But then again, the "Nuo Tianwang", who will turn 36 this year, will definitely be able to limit An Jie and Aldridge when he plays?

It's not that Nowitzki isn't good enough and doesn't work hard enough, but at this moment, it's an era that belongs to Anjie......
