Chapter 357: Mr. Yuan's quiz

Paul George, you've probably never heard of this sophomore before this season. Drafted with the 10th pick in the first round in 2010, he has never been in the spotlight.

In his first season, George had a mediocre performance, which was very much in line with his status as a 10th overall pick. But George was not willing to do so, and when he was selected with the tenth pick, the young George was very frustrated. However, his manager gave George a positive example with Anjie.

"Don't be discouraged George, you know Ann? He was unknown in college, and he missed the opportunity to be drafted by the Heat at No. 2 in the draft. He had high hopes and fell to the twelfth pick, and as soon as he was selected, he was traded away. But now? I'm sure he can still kill all sides after Ann's comeback. Because, you and he are the same kind of people! The draft order does not mean anything. Paul George has always taken this statement to heart.

Therefore, although the age difference is not too much, An Jie can also be regarded as one of George's idols. So this season, George, who is hardworking and talented, has made significant progress, and this game is very exciting against An Jie, who has always inspired him.

But fantasies are often rosy, and George had expected an unforgettable showdown between him and Anjie. However, as it turned out, his dream was only half realized.

It was indeed a memorable match for Paul Georges, but it could hardly be called a "head-to-head". Because this is not a confrontation, it is simply a massacre!

Before the game, Paul George took the initiative to greet Anjie, and Anjie also chatted with George very friendly. Anjie's personality makes it easy for him to get close to others, but that all changed dramatically when the game started.

In the first game after signing a 100 million yuan contract, An Jie certainly wanted to prove himself. The critics who said he wasn't worth the price were waiting to see An Jie's jokes.

However, just minutes into the game, Paul George and those who questioned Angel realized that they were so wrong.

An Jie, who was friendly off the field, seemed to be a completely different person when he arrived on the field. He was so rough and ferocious that he still didn't show any mercy when he blocked Anjie and fanned Daniel Granger out of the line at the same time.

On the offensive end, Roy Hibbert was even more played to death by Anjie's footsteps. In the past, Hibbert had always had a height advantage in confrontations, but today, he found that this advantage was useless. An Jie's height not only does not suffer, but is also one centimeter taller than Hibbert!

Anjie's dunks in this game have become much less, but the goals after shaking off Hibbert with low feet have increased.

Seeing Anjie's performance, Hibbert also plans to try it at Olajuwon's training camp this summer. But that's all for later, for now, he had better think about how to stop An Jie from winning.

Fierce, bloodthirsty, desperate for victory. That's how Paul George interprets Angel's image on the pitch. No wonder Garnett would say that Anjie is a bastard like him, judging from the performance of this game, Anjie really deserves the praise from this veteran.

"Paul George broke through again! so fast, so fast and so high that you could see that Wesley Matthews was working very hard, but the young George was clearly superior. ”

At this point, the game was already in the fourth quarter, and Paul George once again easily broke through Matthews' defense. It's not because Matthews doesn't defend well, it's because George's breakthrough ability is too strong!

If it were a different team, George would definitely be happy for his successful breakthrough. But against the Trail Blazers, when you break through their perimeter players, the real challenge for you is just here.

Paul George looked up at the box, and Angel was tangling with Roy Hibbert just outside the three-second zone. It's a fleeting opportunity! George was not willing to give it up.

He continued to accelerate, hoping to get the ball up before Anjie came back from the defense. His shooting percentage in this game is really a bit miserable, and he needs to grasp every opportunity to score, and grasp every time An Jie is not in the three-second zone.

Paul George leaps high in hopes of scoring with a tomahawk slam. However, just as he was flying into the air, he felt that his eyes suddenly went dark.

"No!" George turned his head to look, An Jie had already jumped up from his side at the moment, ready to block this slam dunk!

Now it's too late to pass the ball on the fly. The rest of the Trail Blazers did a good job of blocking George's pass, and George could only pray that he would get away with it under Angel.

It's a pity that An Jie is an atheist, George's prayers, An Jie can't hear them, and God can't care about them.

All he knew was that he had to fan the basketball off the basket. No matter who the attacker is, he is equally merciless.

"Smack!" and then there was a crisp sound. George slammed into the basket with one hand, but the basketball was already out of his control.

After landing, An Jie didn't even look at George, and rushed forward to follow his teammates to play a fast attack. Although Anjie is a big center, switching offenses is not his specialty. But every time, An Jie will definitely do his best to run with his little teammates. Don't say it, it is with this positivity that An Jie can get a lot of points in the fast attack.

Faced with Daniel Granger, who quickly retreated, Jamal Crawford jumped at him without fear.

"Looking for a risk!?" Granger, as the star of the Pacers, also played a very bad game. He had been waiting for an opportunity to be disgraced, and now it seemed that this opportunity had been delivered to his door!

Jamal Crawford did struggle to score the ball against Granger's defence, but from the start, Crawford didn't plan to make his own shots.

After he jumped, he just passed the basketball backwards, and immediately after, Granger felt a gust of wind hang over his face. Then he heard the loud bang of the basket again.

looked up, and sure enough, it was An Jie hanging on the basket!

85-70, as An Jie scored the ball, the difference in this game once again came to 15 points. Granger was on 3-of-11 shooting with the Trail Blazers today, especially under Anjie's interior defense. Paul George faced his idol and scored just 11 points, 5-of-15.

Their poor performance did not improve, but continued to the end.

After Anjie scored the goal, there were only two minutes left in the game. His dunk almost killed the game!

Subsequently, Rickard relieved the Trail Blazers to replace all five of the starting five. But even so, the walkers still couldn't get up.

75 to 92, that's the final score of the game. Paul George's first experience with his idol was anything but pleasant.

An Jie recorded a triple-double of 25 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, and his performance also silenced everyone who questioned him getting a big contract. Aldridge, the Trail Blazers' second-in-command, also scored 21 points on 10-of-11 shooting, and he also used his performance to shatter the narrative that the Trail Blazers only relied on Anjie to win.

An Jie is indeed very dazzling, but this does not mean that only An Jie can stand up to the Trail Blazers. The reason why the Trail Blazers are now in the top four in the West is not only because of how strong Anjie is, but because of how strong their team is!

"It's a big gap...... Paul George looked around in dismay, Angel was a lower draft pick than himself, but now, he has become the ruler of the basketball court. This game really made him clearly aware of the gap between himself and the top players. Maybe in the future, I have to work harder to make a difference in the NBA.

"Hey, George, I'm sorry today. Just when the young George was still thinking, An Jie took the initiative to take off his jersey at George.

"If I say you're playing really well, I'm definitely lying. But I have to say that I appreciate your hard work. With that, Anjie handed his jersey to George.

George was stunned for a second, then quickly took off his jersey and put Anjie's jersey on his body.

"Don't worry, Ann, if we meet again in the future, the game won't be so boring. George smiled at An Jie, the nickname of butcher is only limited to the field for An Jie.

Off the court, An Jie is definitely a likable guy.

"I remember what you said about George, and I hope that the confrontation between us will be more exciting in the future. Angel put George's team on his shoulders and turned to leave.

Paul George's performance in this game can only be described as bad, in the face of high-intensity defense, George could not think of any way except to make anxious shots. It stands to reason that he should not enjoy the honor of exchanging jerseys with his opponents.

But An Jie seems to have seen the shadow of himself in George. He is stubborn, he wants to be strong, and most importantly, he is not willing to accept the status quo! The tenth pick is not what he wants, what he wants is the same performance as the champion!

If Angel now knew that George would be his and the Trail Blazers' rival in the near future, he would certainly not have said so many words of encouragement to a dangerous guy. After all, it's better to have fewer people who cause trouble.

In any case, Anjie's first game after signing a big contract finally ended successfully. The performance of Mr. Another 100 million yuan did not disappoint the outside world.

Although the 25-point score is less than Anjie's average points per game this season, the overall triple-double data is still very convincing.

An Jie has not forgotten the fans who held signs and shouted their names in the sunset, worshipping themselves as heroes. If at the beginning, Anjie joined the Trail Blazers to continue his career, and later, Anjie led the team to victory in order to prove that he can do it. So from that moment yesterday, An Jie is really in love with this city, and he is also really, he wants to fight for this city and bring honor to the torn city.

Towards this goal, Anjie will continue to move forward bravely. In the second half of the season, they will face a lot of strong opponents. But as long as he thinks of the scene yesterday afternoon and the teammates around him, An Jie is fearless!

Although he is another Mr. 100 million in the NBA league, he can't accomplish any feat on his own.

But now, Anjie has fans around him who support him, teammates who are willing to work hard with him, a coach who tailors tactics specifically for him, and of course, the management who absolutely supports him 100%.

Anjie now has all the conditions for success, and the final result depends on how Anjie uses everything around him to meet people's expectations.

Today's victory over the Pacers is just a small test of Mr. 100 million. After that, Anjie and his team will win more and stronger opponents. It wasn't until the day they lifted the O'Brien Cup that the pace slowed down temporarily......
