Chapter 483: Point Guard and Center

Chris. Paul, this guy is definitely one of the top point guards in this league. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 He has both strong individual offensive ability and organizational ability, and the current Clippers' second place in the West has a lot to do with Paul.

This guy is the core soul of the Clippers, and without him, the Clippers and now are completely two grade teams. Griffin and Jordan Jr. are two guys who are lucky to be playing next to Paul, and with Paul providing you with ammunition, your offense is usually much easier.

But today, both Griffin and Jordan Jr. know that they're not here for a vacation in Portland. The word relaxed, when you meet Anjie, will disappear.

Even if Paul makes a great pass, Jordan Jr. and Griffin will have to be extremely cautious. Because you don't know when that terrifying defensive expert will suddenly come out and slap you to the ground with the ball.

"Seriously Chris, I don't want to lose to the Trail Blazers anymore. Griffin looked out the window at Portland's airport, which he was no stranger to. It was here last season that his first playoff journey with Paul came to an abrupt end.

"I don't want to, but you have to be prepared. Because it's going to be an uphill battle, Blake. Ann is the kind of guy who will not compromise in the face of victory. The only way to do that is to knock him down with more force!" Paul looked determined, and this time, he was confident that he would defeat the Trail Blazers.

It's not Chris, either. Paul was blindly confident that the Clippers, who had a very well-packed roster before this game, had a 21-6 record, losing just one more game than the Trail Blazers. And from November 28 to December 25 now, they haven't lost a single game. 11 wins in a row, an achievement that even the Trail Blazers have never accomplished.

The Clippers are in high spirits right now, even though they only lost to the Trail Blazers early in the season. However, now from the mental state to the level of team run-in, the Clippers have undergone a qualitative change.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to beat a team that has just completed an 11-game winning streak. This is not only because this team has the ability to achieve 11 consecutive wins, but also because such a team is extremely strong at heart. The so-called morale is actually a very important factor that affects the outcome of the game. And now the morale of the Clippers players will definitely be in the top three in the league.

People say that the Clippers have gone from last year's "pseudo-powerhouse" to a truly formidable force in the West. If it weren't for the Trail Blazers, the Clippers would have been the hottest team of the season. So this time the direct dialogue between the top two in the West will undoubtedly be able to meet the fans' demand for the Christmas game.

It was only an hour before the start of the game, and Wu Hua was still stuck in traffic on the way to the Rose Garden Arena. There are too many people who come to watch the game today, and more people will participate in the fan Jialianhua outside the stadium and watch the live broadcast of the game in the stadium through the big screen outside the stadium.

Some of the guys wore Santa hats, while others decorated their cars with Christmas ornaments. It's not that they don't know it's Christmas, but there's no doubt that eating turkey at home isn't enough for them. Dragging a family to the stadium to watch an NBA Christmas game is the best way to spend Christmas in this group known as fans.

"Christmas war?" Looking at the strong Christmas atmosphere in the audience, Wu Hua suddenly reacted, it seemed that it was the first time for him to do Christmas war-related work. It's just that in the next few years, he felt that his Christmas would be spent like this. After all, the hotter Anjie's guy gets, the more opportunities he has to participate in the Christmas war.

Catherine sat in the middle of the rushing crowd, and this time even Angel couldn't get him a seat in the back row of the bench. Not only were those spots pre-ordered early, but they were also pre-ordered by some of the most prominent figures.

However, being able to come to watch Anjie's game live, Catherine was already very satisfied. This is better than in previous years, when the two could only spend Christmas in two places. And with the injured An Jie with her own eyes, Catherine is also more at ease.

"I should have been eating turkey with my family right now, and this is the first time I feel like you made the wrong decision to join the Trail Blazers. In the locker room, many players joked about An Jie. They know that without Anjie, the league's No. 1 center, the Trail Blazers would not be eligible to play in the Christmas game at all.

"Hey, believe it or not, after winning the sworn enemy at Christmas, I feel countless times more refreshing than you eat turkey!" An Jie moved his left hand, which had just been wrapped by the team doctor, and the two injured fingers were still tightly tied together, unable to move. But for all this, Anjie is used to it.

"All I know is that even a team like the Clippers can win 11 in a row, which is incredible. Ann, when do you think we're going to get a 20-game winning streak? Wesley . . Matthews scoffed at the Clippers' excellent record, after all, from last season's playoffs to now, the "powerful" Clippers have not even won a game in front of the Trail Blazers. With such a team winning 11 in a row, Matthews is very angry.

"As long as we fight together, it's not impossible to win 30 in a row. After An Jie finished speaking, he put on his jersey. Ricard also stood up at this moment, for this young marshal, the Christmas war, he also experienced it for the first time.

"Alright guys, the Christmas game is no different from the regular season. Beat the opponent, that's our only purpose!The Clippers who have won 11 in a row are indeed menacing, but to be honest, they only have to sink when they swim to Portland! Just like last season, isolate Paul, and victory will come to pass!" Rickard firmly believes that as long as he gets rid of Chris. Paul's engine, the Clippers can't rush no matter what.

However, after suffering so many losses, Pooh . De Nagro didn't sit still. The two coaches had already had a brain-to-head battle before the game began, and now the outcome will depend on whether the players can play the planned tactics according to the arrangement after the game starts.

After the players on both sides came on the field, An Jie did not shake hands or hug the opposing players as always. After all, "mortal enemies" and ordinary opponents are two completely different concepts.

"Dude, don't talk about the pain points I bullied you later. "DeAndrew. Jordan looked at An Jie's two tightly wrapped fingers and couldn't help but smile playfully. If he wanted to, he could even hack An Jie's injuries!

"Bullying, by the way, DeAndrew, have you ever beaten me since college? I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory lately, but I really don't have that impression. As soon as An Jie's words came out, the smile on Little Jordan's face immediately froze. He didn't expect that An Jie would strike preemptively and expose his sore spots.

"Annoying guy!" Jordan Jr. clenched his fists. "Provoke me now, and you'll regret it!"

"I really doubt that you have what it takes to make me regret it, DeAndrew. Mr. Jordan. After all, you're not another Jordan. "With only athleticism and physical center, Anjie is not afraid now. On the contrary, this kind of guy is the easiest to deal with for An Jie!

"DeAndrew, get ready. Seeing that Little Jordan and Anjie were arguing again, Chris . Paul, the leader of the Clippers, had to intervene to interrupt. He knew that if he continued like this, it would only be Jordan Jr. who would suffer. After all, Anjie's level of trash talk has been strongly recognized by Garnett. Even Garnett can't spray, and little Jordan, a person with developed limbs and a simple mind, is even less than An Jie's opponent.

Maybe it was because An Jie was really angry, and the little Jordan, who was holding back his strength, jumped to a surprising height in the jumping ball link. This time, he touched the basketball first with half a palm taller than An Jie. And Chris . After Paul got the ball, he immediately launched an attack on the heart of the Trail Blazers.

Lillard saw Paul get the ball and pushed forward quickly, so he naturally guessed Paul's intentions. A surprise fast attack is simply a perfect sneak attack.

Without anyone else noticing, Lillard was one step ahead of Paul's breakout line. But when he saw Paul's expression clearly, Lillard was confused.

After his breakthrough route was blocked, Paul did not regret it, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He...... Is he laughing?

Paul immediately rushed in front of Lillard and shot straight up. You know, Paul's position is now between the three-point line and the halfway line! Paul raised his hand to shoot, which also gave Lillard a dark elbow to the chin.

Of course, the loss of Lillard who suffers from skin and flesh is not counted. But then, he heard the referee's hurried whistle.

"Trail Blazers No. 0 shooting foul!" the referee shouted at the technical bench.

"What!?" Lillard rushed to the referee in disbelief, not even figuring out what had just happened. Paul lunged at him, and then took a dark elbow himself. In the end, Paul had to be sent to the free throw line.

"I also play by the rules, kid. "The referee knew that Lillard's foul was not intentional, but it is also an indisputable fact that Paul was violated after making a shot. Rules are rules, and the referee doesn't care if the attacker is looking for a foul or not.

"That's the experience, at Chris . In Paul's presence, Damien . Lillard can only be said to be too immature. "Kenny . Smith shook his head, Lillard was thinking Paul too simply.

Paul easily stepped to the free-throw line, and made three free throws. It's a good option to isolate Paul, but Felton last season wasn't as immature as Lillard.

"Don't let his appearance fool Damion, this guy is probably one of the dirtiest guards in the league!" Anjie patted Lillard on the shoulder after Paul's solid three-free throws, he didn't want the rookie teammate to lose his mind because of what had just happened.

But fortunately, Lillard is an "older" rookie, and he doesn't care too much about this kind of thing. It doesn't matter if Paul makes a foul outside the three-point line, the Trail Blazers just hit it back!

In the face of Paul's repeated interference, Lillard did not mess up. He kept changing his dribble under his crotch so that Paul wouldn't catch the opportunity to sprint and steal.

While Lillard and Paul were facing off on the outside, DeAndrew. Jordan and An Jie also started hand-to-hand combat on the inside.

Griffin put J . J . Hickson took a big step, as long as Anjie received the ball, he would immediately complete the circle with Jordan Jr.

Seeing this, Lillard planned to switch to Plan B, but seeing that Anjie was still raising his hand to ask for the ball, Lillard decided to continue attacking Anjie's point!

Lillard bypassed Paul through Hixon's pick-and-roll, but Paul wasn't completely freed. He was still stealthily tugging behind Lillard, and Griffin was also making up for Lillard at this time.

At the moment when Griffin moved, Lillard stuffed the basketball straight inside and gave it to Anjie.

Anjie was already in the three-second zone when he got the ball, and he had to complete the attack immediately to avoid being whistled for a three-second violation.

Little Jordan completely stuck all of Anjie's turning space with his body, and the guy was either blocked or blown for three seconds. In short, this arrogant Chinese, Little Jordan is determined!

An Jie also knew that there was not much time left for him to perform, so after receiving the ball, he directly held the ball with both hands and bowed his waist to Xiao Jordan with his shoulder. The unprepared little Jordan was pushed back a small step, and with the space of this small step, An Jie jumped directly to dunk!

"Don't be able to do it yourself!" said DeAndrew. Jordan jumped hard and slammed into Anjie from the side. An Jie tried his best to maintain his balance in the air, and with his arm span advantage, he barely dunked the ball! Although it was a reluctant dunk, An Jie's power was still huge.

After the dunk was successful, Anjie let go of his fingers and let himself fall from the basket proudly. Due to the collision by Little Jordan, An Jie took a few steps back after landing, but finally stabilized his center of gravity and did not fall.

"Toot toot!" At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded again. An Jie not only scored the ball, but also got a chance to add a penalty!

"Ann was able to deal with DeAndre in such a tough way. Jordan's penalty area is attacking!Look at Jordan Jr.'s angry expression, he definitely didn't expect Ann to fight with him!" Kenny . Smith yelled at the microphone in surprise, but O'Neal smiled. This simple and crude way of attacking the frame is exactly the style that O'Neill likes.

The penalty was not missed. After all, Anjie's free throw shooting rate this season is as high as 91. 2 % 。 This statistic is not only the highest free-throw percentage in Anjie's career, but also the highest free-throw percentage for a guy like Nowitzki.

3-3, the stars of both teams used their own good ways to score three points for the team. During the retreat, Angel and Paul glanced at each other. Although they are not directly opposed, everyone knows that the Christmas War is a war between the two of them!

The first point guard and the first center, this is indeed a very special Christmas matchup......
