Chapter 312: Stable Scoring Efficiency

The Trail Blazers were overtaken by four points, which was the outcome that Jeff Van Gundy had expected a long time ago. When Westbrook's breakaway was curbed and others didn't shoot well, Van Gundy knew something was going to happen to the Thunder in the third quarter.www.biquge.info Now only four points behind, Van Gundy is already thankful.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Rickard is also pleased to see that Anjie has become more and more committed to the position of team leader. Through his command and leading by example, the Trail Blazers did an excellent job defending in the second half of the third quarter. As long as the momentum of the Trail Blazers is still in place in the fourth quarter, they will still be able to complete high-quality defense.

"In the final quarter, the Thunder shouldn't dare to defend you with a bag, Ann, dig a hole in the interior for me!" Ricard knew it was time for Agile to let go of his hands and feet to attack. That's an important tactical role that a good centre-forward can play, attracting packs and creating chances for his team-mates. The opponent is not trapped, and he can score points in the penalty area alone. Why are there so few teams playing around the center now, because there are very few centers in the league that can meet the above two requirements. But under Ricard, Anjie can do it.

"Lamarcus, help me get Iba as far away as possible. Against Morris I can guarantee singles efficiency, but if Ibaka and Morris defend me at the same time, I will be under a lot of pressure. Anjie looked at Aldridge with a grin, and when he said this, it didn't make people feel that it was an order, but that it was a discussion.

"No problem, Ann, I won't let anyone else disturb your party with Morris. If he dares to let me go, I will let him taste the power of the shot. Aldridge made a shooting move to reassure Anjie to attack.

"I'm going to rip Durant away too, so he doesn't interfere with you. Then Gerard Wallace spoke.

Obviously, most of the people are already in the queue to support Anjie. In this way, Ricard and Anjie's work can also be carried out more easily.

An Jie is very grateful to his teammates for their trust in him, and now he must repay this trust with practical actions.

"The fourth quarter of the game between the two sides has finally begun, Anjie's pass in the third quarter is as accurate as a point guard, how many more beautiful assists do you think he can deliver in the fourth quarter?"

"Not a lot, trust me. In the fourth quarter, Ann won't have a lot of passes. But we can expect his offense, and I'm sure coach Jeff Van Gundy will change his defensive strategy after a losing bag. The fourth quarter was when the Trail Blazers needed to score, and Anjie was the best scorer in Coach Ricard's hands. "Reggie Miller's professional analysis can be said to have penetrated the tactics of both managers.

Sure enough, the fourth quarter came out for the first time, and An Jie once again held the ball into the three-second zone.

Although Van Gundy canceled the bag for Anjie, when Anjie held the ball, the Thunder players were still afraid of Anjie's passing.

Most of the Thunder have received a second pass from Anjie and then scored, so they know better than anyone how deadly Anjie's pass is.

Just when everyone, including Morris, was worried about whether An Jie would pass the ball, An Jie, who was watching around, suddenly sat back.

Morris, who was not prepared, was stunned by such a push, and took a big step back, allowing An Jie to completely step into the three-second zone with both feet.

Even so, Morris still did not dare to act rashly. He knew that once An Jie felt the change in the center of gravity behind him, he would find a way to shake himself away and get room to shoot. You go forward, and An Jie will turn around. If you retreat, An Jie will shoot directly. So Morris simply maintained the state he was in just now, not going forward, nor retreating, he was ready to try again to resist Anjie's impact.

Seeing that Morris had no further plans, Anjie took the plan one step further. Morris thought he would be able to withstand Anjie's onslaught with his strength and weight, but now he realizes how wrong he was.

Perhaps a year or two ago, it would have been difficult for Anjie to carry it in when Morris was well prepared. But now An Jie, who is more physically powerful and stronger, can do this.

This advancement made An Jie almost come to the basket. With a small hook hand, he easily put the basketball into the frame. Morris tried his best to interfere, but he couldn't reach the hook that was already very high.

"Are you asleep, brother?" Anjie smiled and joked with Morris after the goal.

"What are you doing, Morris!?" and Jeff Van Gundy's tone was not as calm as Anjie's.

"Mine mine. Morris raised his hand in embarrassment, and then sent the baseline ball and re-attacked.

The Thunder's offense still didn't improve much, and Westbrook made another selfless break to get him into the box. But under An Jie's timely return, his layup became a "bridge".

Angel still controlled the rebound and handed the ball to Raymond Felton to move forward slowly. Purely positional attack, Rickard's thinking was very clear and clear.

Felton held the ball forward as he raised one hand and drew a circle with his index finger pointing to the sky.

"Anjie singles!" is such a message that the gesture represents.

Outside the three-point line, Filton immediately blocked Westbrook with one hand to prevent him from stealing, and immediately quickly observed the running position and chose the next passing point.

Taking advantage of this time, Anjie once again carried Morris to the position in a deep place. At this distance, as long as An Jie catches the ball, he can immediately attack the basket.

Filton naturally saw this, but first, he had to get rid of Westbrook's entanglement.

Called a pick-and-roll, Aldridge mentioned the high post. Felton did not hesitate and immediately moved towards the end of the "wall".

Westbrook naturally knew that someone was coming from behind to block and dismantle, but when he practiced anti-blocking and dismantling with An Jie back then, his level of blocking and dismantling was already very good.

This time, he still squeezed Aldridge away quickly, and got up before Felton could break through.

But Felton's breakthrough wasn't about scoring points, he was just trying to get some passing space. Taking advantage of Westbrook's defense not yet fully in place, Filton hit the ground hard and made a pass to Anjie again.

Felton's pass was just right, and the position to catch the ball was at the waist. If the ball is passed too short to the center, it will be difficult for the center to receive it, and it will be difficult for the center to make movements after receiving it. But Felton's passing was very accurate, allowing Anjie to start attacking as soon as he received the basketball.

Seeing this situation, Ibaka threw away Aldridge, who pulled out of the three-point line to block the pick-and-roll, and pounced on Anjie, hoping to join forces with Morris to defend the ball.

Anjie stared at the basket and jumped, and Ibaka and Morris also reflexively jumped, even if it was a foul.

However, the ball did not fly to the basket, but was passed from behind by Anjie.

Who will this unwatchable pass from behind the back go to? Naturally, it was Aldridge, who was just outside the three-point line, but now he was running inside.

Aldridge had just run to the free throw line when he received a pass from Anjie. At the same time as receiving the ball, Aldridge made a sharp stop, jumped and shot.

His movements are as stretched as ever, and for an interior player like him, the pull-up jump shot after running is not difficult at all.

Aldridge threw the ball into the basket without anyone watching. Although An Jie did not score directly, everyone knew that An Jie was the biggest contributor to this goal.

"The defensive combination of Serge Ibaka and Morris is completely different from the offensive combination of Anjie and Aldridge!"

In the past, Anjie did not have this kind of accurate shooting inside line around him, and in the past in the Thunder, the shots of Ibaka and Kostic could only be regarded as "reasonable". But today's Aldridge can really be called "quasi".

With his presence, An Jie can attack in a different way. Such an inside partner can give full play to Anjie's ability to respond. It's no wonder that Anjie said on the first day that Aldridge's style of play was completely tailored for him Anjie.

In the ensuing attack, Aldridge received another pass from Anjie and hit the ball again in the middle and long range. After that, the Thunder team completely didn't dare to use the bag clip.

Aldridge's first half was average, but now that he has scored two goals in a row, he is definitely the number one danger in the minds of the Thunder. After that, Ibaka will guard Aldridge every second on the defensive end, for fear that the big man who shoots accurately will get another chance.

In this way, An Jie finally emptied the battlefield. Now, the only person who can cross in front of Anjie is Morris. However, even though Morris was named to the All-Defensive Second Team last season, he still didn't have much to do with Anjie.

He successfully defended An Jie's two shots and cut off the ball in An Jie's hand once. However, throughout the fourth quarter, there was only so much he could do.

In addition to these three times, Anjie can score for the Trail Blazers every time he attacks. On the Thunder's side, in addition to Bledsoe, Durant and Westbrook were both dumbfounded.

Especially Durant, it is difficult for him to score in the restricted area, and there is Gerard Wallace, who is very strong and stubborn on the outside.

Midway through the fourth quarter, both Rickard and Van Gundy brought on most of their bench players.

Jamal Crawford still did his job well with his scoring mission, but what about the Thunder's bench Batum made 1 of 5 shots to pull the score away again.

In the final stage, An Jie appeared again. At this time, even the old fans of the Thunder team can hardly applaud him anymore. Because as soon as he got on the court, it proved that the Thunder were getting closer and closer to losing.

"Ann's signature turnaround jumper! beautiful, this ball Morris actually defended well, but Angel still threw the ball in with his excellent ball sense!"

"Hook hands!? No, it's a footstep. Ann shook Morris off and easily put the ball in the basket. ”

"Middle-range shooting again, oh my God, what is the first point? Anjie has already scored 30 points! Audience friends, the Chesapeake Energy Arena may always bring him good luck!"

The commentators' mouths have no time to rest under the wonderful game, and the one they say the most is An Jie.

Morris was forced out of breath, he was not as strong as Anjie in college, and now, Morris, who has improved a lot, is still not Anjie's opponent.

Jeff Van Gundy was a rare roar from the sidelines, but Durant and Westbrook just couldn't get up.

And what about Ricard, who was already sitting on the bench and crossed his legs. The offense of Anjie and Aldridge was terrifyingly stable, and the Thunder's vaunted interior defense was beaten to the point where they couldn't find the north.

In the last 30 seconds, Van Gundy replaced the new Thunder Sanshao, Morris and Ibaka. This is actually a signal, which means that the Thunder team has no power to return to the sky and surrenders.

"Beep!" The red light on the rebound came on, and the intense 48 minutes of action were over. Thunder fans don't know whether to applaud or lament.

Anjie performed well in this game as their favorite player, but their Thunder team lost at home. Counting the last loss to the Mavericks, it has turned into the Thunder's first losing streak of the season.

"Morris, who played well today. After the game, An Jie took the initiative to run to the Thunder bench to shake hands with his former teammates one by one. An Jie was still smiling, but everyone on the Thunder team was smiling a little embarrassed.

Who can laugh when they lose, even if they lose to their best friend?

103-93, the Trail Blazers won the game by 10 points on the road. As T.NT's national live broadcast in the United States, this result also shocked the entire United States.

An Jie defeated the new Thunder Sanshao? This title is indeed enough to bluff people......
