Chapter 730: Crazy Two Pairs of Machines
The only suspense in this game is whether Ann can break his 45-game double-double record. For three seasons in a row, Ayn has stopped at 45 games, and it will be interesting to see if the ambitious Ahn can change that number to 46 this year!" Reggie Miller sat leisurely on the commentary podium, and on the court, the Trail Blazers players were just as relaxed as Reggie Miller.
Since letting Iguodala trade for Bynum, the 76ers have not been able to bounce back. Luke Richard Bamot, Henry Simms, Robert Covington, Larry Drew II and Norris Noll.
These young men, who may only be able to play as substitutes on other teams, are the strongest lineup that the 76ers can handle.
There was no bargaining chip in the trade, there was a lack of vision in the draft, and the 76ers didn't have any appeal to other big names in the summer. Moreover, this brilliant team is also plagued by injuries.
It's hard to say how this team is going to rise, at least for now, the 76ers don't have any ability to get a foothold in the league.
At the end of the third quarter, the mighty Trail Blazers had completely lost the suspense of the game. The 76ers' defense looked like paper paste to the Trail Blazers, and it broke when stabbed.
Most of the empty seats in the arena of the Phu Quoc Center have appeared, and the whole scene is deserted, which is extremely inconsistent with the scene of other NBA games.
At the moment, Meyers Leonard is ready to play at the technical desk. Now that the game has gone into garbage time, Riccard is already planning to take Anjie down.
Angel looked at the sidelines, then at Larry Drew II, an undrafted pick in front of him, who was advancing with the ball. This is his last chance to get a double-double before the dead ball!
If Calder had sent Anjie on the field in garbage time and asked Anjie to brush up on the damn stats, then the record wouldn't be meaningful. Anjie must do everything he needs to do in the limited time, this is the last chance, he must ensure that the 76ers offense fails and grabs that rebound himself!
Larry Drew II was a name that Anjie had never heard before this game. It's not that Anjie is underestimated, but this little guard is indeed a rare unfamiliar face on the NBA court.
He was not picked by any team when he entered the 2013 draft, and although he received an olive branch from the Heat, he was cut by the Heat before the start of the regular season.
For the next year, Larry Drew II spent the next year in the Development League. It wasn't until half a month ago that he signed a 10-day contract with the 76ers and officially played in the NBA. Now, it's just the second day of Larry Drew II's second 10-day contract.
Such a guy who works part-time in the NBA, An Jie naturally doesn't know him. Therefore, this guy's organizational ability and scoring ability also made An Jie very "relieved".
Sure enough, seeing old Miller pounce on him with his teeth and claws, young Rader Drew II immediately threw the ball out. He doesn't pass the ball to organise an attack, but simply out of fear.
This season's 76ers' "scoring champion" Robert Covington received the pass, and the forward who was also an undrafted player carefully guarded the basketball for fear that if he was not careful, Iguodala would take the ball away in front of him.
Although Covington is also an undrafted pick, he can average 13.2 points per game this season, which is already the 76ers' most powerful weapon on the offensive end. Iguodala didn't let his guard down because his opponent was a second-year draft loser, and he knew that Covington could still be a threat if he was in good form.
Seeing that there was no way to shoot, Covington began to dribble to break through. He jerked to the left, simple and brutal, without any skill. Such a breakthrough simply cannot penetrate Iguodala's defense.
Iguodala just moved sideways and kept Covington solid out of the three-point line.
An Jie began to get excited, it seems that this rebound has been grasped by himself!
The first breakthrough was unsuccessful, and Covington immediately tried a second attempt. However, the young striker was unable to beat Iguodala.
Seeing that there was no chance, Covington hit the ball and passed the ball to the inside.
Norris Knoll, the "gorilla" hairstyle of the center was even a favorite for the top spot before entering the draft. Now, however, his performance is not quite in line with people's expectations of him.
Seeing Noel holding the ball on the inside, An Jie did not hesitate, and immediately held Noel's waist with one hand, and raised one hand high, ready to interfere at any time.
Noel took a big breath and pushed it back! However, the "high wall" behind him did not shake in the slightest!
Seeing that there was not much time left for the 24-second attack, Noll did not continue to seek opportunities, but directly turned around and hooked his hand!
It turns out that Anjie really can't fan Knoll's hook hand. But this does not mean that if you escape An Jie's block, Noll will definitely be able to hook and hit!
"Noll turned and hooked his hand, Ann's defense was very aggressive, he almost obscured all of Knoll's vision!The ball didn't go in! Ann's quick second jump, he grabbed the offensive rebound before he did!26 points and 10 rebounds, congratulations to Ahn, he broke his own record and extended his record of two consecutive doubles to 46 games!" An ordinary defense made Reggie Miller and all the Trail Blazers fans cheer.
Anjie did not hesitate after grabbing the rebound, but threw it vigorously, allowing Nicolas Batum, who had already run in front, to get a chance.
After receiving the basketball, Batum did not fear Bamot's defense, but forced a layup against a fierce physical confrontation.
A desperate 76ers coach Brett Brown called a timeout, and Anjie walked off the court, and everyone on the team came up to give him a high-five. In just three quarters, An Jie cut down the double-double data of 26+10. It seems that breaking the Lefu record, An Jie is not just talking about it.
In the end, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the 76ers 74-100 in Philadelphia and continued to lead the league.
"Mr. An, Mr. An, you must be very happy to break the curse of 45 games, right?" After the game, this unsuspenseful game still attracted many reporters to attend the press conference. There is no doubt that they are all from Anjie's record.
"As I said, my goal is to break Kevin Love's record. 46 games, just the beginning. An Jie's answer on stage was still confident, as if breaking Lefou's record was a fateful thing.
In the outside world, some people are questioning An Jie, and some are accusing An Jie of being conceited and arrogant. Anjie's old rival, Jordan's royal reporter Sam Smith even pointed out in his column: A megalomaniac like Anjie usually doesn't end well.
And just like that, with the world's doubts, on January 30, the Portland Trail Blazers played against the Atlanta Hawks, who are first in the East......
"Aldridge was in great shape today! He has scored a game-high 35 points, which is more than Anjesto!
Aldridge made a confident shot, but this time, he was a little tired and didn't control the finishing touches. The basketball slammed to the front of the basket, and the offense was about to fail.
At this time, Horford, who was about to grab the rebound, suddenly had a huge pressure on his back, it was An Jie! This guy still wanted to fight for the rebound when he was in a disadvantageous position!
An Jie jumped from behind and pressed Horford, who is 2.08 meters tall, under him. After that, Anjie grabbed the basketball and pressed it back into the frame.
"Ann, a powerful and heavy dunk! Horford has no way at all! 27 points and 13 rebounds, this is already the 13th rebound Ann grabbed today! Look, this guy cut another double-double today, it's incredible!" O'Neal stood up from the stool to applaud An Jie, but he didn't expect that this Chinese who was blocked from the playoffs by himself back then can now be so strong!
The Hawks, who are No. 1 in the East, are arguably one of the biggest dark horses of the year, but after Anjie completed that dunk, the Hawks' morale has been depleted.
99-106, the Trail Blazers went on a winning streak at home. 47 games, Anjie is getting closer and closer to Lefou's horror record!
After the game, Catherine rushed directly into the field and hugged Anjie. The reporters are frantically shooting all the pictures, and every scene now is a witness to Anjie's legendary career!
In their final game of January against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Trail Blazers narrowly won 99-95 on the road. Bucks' veteran scorer Jared Dudley played very well in this game. He scored 28 points on 6-of-8 three-point shooting. It's a pity that An Jie used a super double-double of 32 points and 15 rebounds to break the Bucks' dream of winning. For the 48th consecutive game, those reporters who questioned An Jie began to panic.
On Feb. 2, the Trail Blazers host the Jazz. Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors caused the Trail Blazers too much trouble today. The two guys combined to score 47 points and nearly capsized the Trail Blazers in the gutter.
Fortunately, with Anjie's big attack on Favors at the last moment, the Trail Blazers still kept their home court with a 102-103 point difference. An Jie had 24 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, and was the 49th consecutive double-double.
On Feb. 5, Anjie faced the Suns, who kept him out of the playoffs during his rookie season. He scored 29 points and 11 rebounds in the game, making his 50th consecutive double-double!
On Feb. 7, the Trail Blazers traveled to the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks, who have teetered on the brink of the playoffs this season, have burst into full force, with Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons and Monta Ellis combining for 65 points. Today, Lillard and Aldridge are out of sorts.
Lillard shot just 23 percent from the field and scored 11 points. Aldridge scored just 15 points on 40 percent shooting. The Trail Blazers lost the game 102-108, ending their winning streak.
But An Jie still cut down a super-large double-double of 33 points and 16 rebounds, turning his consecutive double-double record into 51 games.
The Trail Blazers' record has become 46-5, which means that from the beginning of the new season to the present, Anjie has contributed to a double-double in every game!
On Feb. 8, the Trail Blazers picked up their form and allowed them to crush the Rockets, who were sidelined by injury due to injury, on their second straight road trip. An Jie was invincible on the inside, slashing 33 points and 13 rebounds, the 52nd game in a row!
Now, the whole world of basketball is in shock. 52 games, which is already an insurmountable record of consecutive double-doubles. At that time, Lefu was suspected of brushing data for this record, and even if it was garbage time, Lefu asked to continue to play.
And Anjie, this record of 52 consecutive double-doubles, is completely real! Ricard did not give Anjie more playing time because of this record. But under such circumstances, Anjie still came to this point.
This horrible guy casually said that he wanted to break the record, can he really break it!?
Now, there are four days left until the 2015 All-Star Weekend. And in these four days, Anjie still has one game to play. If Anjie can successfully hit a double-double in that game, then before the All-Star break, Love will no longer be the first person in the NBA league to record a double-double in a row!
After the game, in the players' tunnel, the excited Lillard jumped up and climbed onto Anjie's back.
"It's been 52 games, and in one more game, you'll be tied for first place with Love!" Lillard shouted excitedly in Anjie's ear, and it seemed that the zero guard was even more excited than Anjie himself.
"There are only two games left before I can break the record. Don't worry, Damien, it's nothing to me. I'm not going to let you guys get excited for so long, and with two games left, I'm sure I'll continue to get two doubles!
Are you ready?Anjie, it's time to change the pattern of the alliance again!
