Hold the ball, turn around! Anthony Davis's footsteps were so fast that Anjie couldn't react in an instant. As Kenny Smith said on the show, Anthony Davis is really good. An Jie even thinks that this guy may be more versatile than himself in the future.

Davis, who surpassed An Jie by half a position, did not hesitate at all, although this guy next to him has super defensive ability, but at such a critical moment, the only thing Davis can do is to be brave!

Although he is only 22 years old, Anthony Davis has already become the backbone of this team. If even he backs down now, the Pelicans are really finished.

So, the slender power forward with an equally exaggerated arm span leaped both legs, and Davis lifted the basketball and headed straight for the basket.

"Boom!" Anthony Davis hung on the hoop and yelled excitedly as a loud bang filled the court!

"It worked! Beautiful offense! Anthony Davis, this guy actually scored a dunk on Ann's head! Oh my God, it was incredible!" Not only Davis himself, but even the commentators in the commentary area were completely ignited by this dunk.

98-98, with three and a half minutes left in the game, Anthony Davis helped the Pelicans tie the score with a powerful dunk!

The cameras of various TV stations immediately shot at the Trail Blazers' bench, but Riccard did not react and just watched the court quietly.

"There was no timeout! Coach George Ricard didn't call a timeout. Even now that the team has been held to a draw, Coach Ricard still seems to think that there is no need to adjust his tactics!" Jeff Van Gundy had to admire Ricard's calmness, and if he had been in charge, he would have stopped the game.

"Damn! Are you so confident!?" Seeing that Rickard did not react, the pressure came to Pelicans coach Monty Williams instead.

He had known that Rickard was a scheming man, and Monty Williams had no previous experience in the playoffs. He couldn't help but worry if he was falling into Ricard's trap.

In the blink of an eye, the Trail Blazers had attacked. Anjie was not defended by Anthony Davies, but by Turkish centre-forward Omir Asik.

Monty Williams knows that in this league these days, there is no one who can defend Anjie one-on-one in the low post, not even Anthony Davis. Rather than letting Anthony Davis waste energy on the defensive end, it would be better to let Asik do the role of the meat shield.

Lillard used a quick forward change of direction to open up space for himself, and Pelicans point guard Eric Gordon thought Lillard was going to shoot straight away. Unexpectedly, the number zero defender just hoisted the ball inside, and he just wanted to pass the ball through this little space.

An Jie raised his long arm and grabbed the ball steadily. Asik was sweating profusely, and as soon as An Jie held the ball, this guy felt as heavy as a lead block all over his body.

This time, Anjie did not play directly with his back to the single as before, but slowly held the ball in front of the frame.

He placed the ball low with both hands, which Asik couldn't reach for his height. Anjie looked at Asik and looked at the basket. After that, he looked at Davis with a provocative look.

Didn't you just score a goal on my head? Come on, now, I'll give it back to you!

An Jie suddenly got up and broke through to Asik's left hand, and Asik's reflexive stride and sideways seemed to block An Jie's breakthrough route well.

If it were to be another interior player with the ball alone, Asik's defense would have been a success. But An Jie, who was nimble, took Asik as the axis and suddenly turned around one after another. The Turkish centre-forward has nothing to do about such a result.

Anjie turned around calmly, but to his surprise, Anthony Davis actually posted it at the right time!

The slender guy with the "big spider" raised his arms high, and Anjie's offensive space was completely encroached upon! He was like beef, sandwiched into a hamburger by the two pieces of bread, Asik and Davis.

It was in such a narrow space that An Jie couldn't even jump, he just threw the ball to the basket at will.

This ball seems random, but in fact, An Jie's actions are very complete at the moment of shooting. It's a throw! a quick throw that the little guy uses to dodge the big guy's block. Back then, Craig Smith relied on this trick to beat the young Anjie without temper. Only now, this trick is being used on another big man.

The basketball arced so high in a very short distance that Anthony Davis didn't even think it was possible to hit such a random shot.

However, the basketball, whose flight trajectory was extremely unreasonable, fell straight into the net!

"Beautiful!" Aldridge excitedly high-fived Anjie, who glanced at Davis again as he stepped back and winked at the young man.

"A perfect bag! Anthony Davis' ability to read the game and defend the box is simply outstanding! Unfortunately, Anjie is an unconventional presence in this league! Even if Davis and Asik have defended to the extreme, Anjie can still score goals! He deserves to be the league's leading scorer this season, and Anshi deserves his name!"

Anthony Davis was a little unwilling, after all, this defense can really be described as perfect. He looked up at the big screen at the scene, and the number behind Anjie's jersey number had become 34.

Before the game was over, An Jie had already scored 34 points. What the hell is it going to do to stop this guy's footsteps!

Offense, since there is nothing to be done on the defensive end, Anthony Davis intends to bite the game on the offensive end.

You score one goal and I score one, and if you score two points for the team, I can add two points to the team.

With that in mind, Anthony Davis took the lead in the next offensive round and took the initiative to ask Eric Gordon for the ball. In this league, the inside big man who dares to ask for the ball under Anjie's defense has almost disappeared. Anthony Davis is probably the only one who dares to do that.

With the precedent of a successful dunk on Anjie's head just now, Davis is now much more confident than before.

He felt the change in An Jie's center of gravity with his back, and planned to seize the opportunity to break through in one fell swoop! However, An Jie was like a stone blocking Davis's back motionless, so that the sensitive Davis couldn't find any chance!

There was no way, Davis had to just turn over and shoot a jumper. His shooting ability is very good, and there shouldn't be any difficulty for Davis to make a turnaround jumper in this position.

However, An Jie's huge black shadow obscured Davis's entire vision.

Davis's shot was slightly backwards, and he didn't believe it yet, so Anjie could still block his shot.

Just when Davis was leaning back to shoot, An Jie also continued to press forward! Now, Davis must shoot with a complete loss of center of gravity! An Jie's defensive range is so huge that even if Davis throws a backward jumper, he can't get rid of An Jie's entanglement.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Davis had to reluctantly make a move. However, the basketball had just flown out not far before it was slapped back by An Jie's wide palm.

This time, Anjie didn't make Davis' dream come true!

Eric Gordon was quick to pick up the basketball that flew out of the fan and launched a second impact on the basket.

Anjie had just finished blocking Davis, and he couldn't have made up for another guy so quickly. With that in mind, Eric Gordon went straight to the basket with the ball. Bite the score, the Pelicans must bite the score!

Although the basket is currently unguarded, Gordon did not intend to dunk, instead opting to attack with a quick layup. In the forbidden area guarded by Anjie, a simple and practical way is always the best.

Gordon raised the basketball and was about to throw it. However, the slender arm reappeared, and Gordon looked at the hand above his head in disbelief, and the basketball was once again slapped away!

"Two blocks in a row!Ann, this incredible guy completely killed the Pelicans' offensive hopes!"

The basketball that was fanned by An Jie hit the rebound hard, and it rebounded quickly. This time, An Jie received the basketball himself and launched a fast attack with a long pass.

The Pelicans, who were empty in the backcourt, simply had no one to catch up with Iguodala, who started early, and Iguodala dunked with both hands to widen the gap between the two teams to four points. At such a scorching critical moment, the four-point gap is enough to put huge pressure on the lagging side. What's more, the Pelicans are still a team playing the playoffs for the first time.

Monty Williams called a timeout, and the bald manager was finally unable to withstand the enormous psychological pressure.

George Ricard is still relaxed, this game will not be any different from the previous games!

"We've got to be more efficient on offense! Don't let AD go and fight with An, I want every single one of you to step up! There are two minutes left in the game, and we have time. It's only four points, don't give up!" Monty Williams motivates the players as much as he motivates himself.

"The Pelicans were almost overwhelmed, and we continued to put pressure on them on the defensive end. After the timeout, they should increase the number of times they pass the ball. Listen, don't give them any chance, I want you to press everyone on the court to defend the opposing team! This huge pressure will completely crush that group of boys sooner or later! Kill them, we are here for the championship!" Ricard's last sentence undoubtedly greatly stimulated the nerves of the Trail Blazers players.

After the timeout, the Pelicans did exactly as Rickard said, and the offense was more complicated, with more people involved in the offense.

But the Trail Blazers, who strengthened their defense, still didn't leave the Pelicans with any chance. You know, Anjie is not the only one who has a good defense in the Trail Blazers, and the defense of Aldridge, Iguodala and Matthews is not so easy to break through. Although Lillard is a little weaker defensively due to his thin body, his aggressiveness usually makes up for his physical shortcomings well.

The Pelicans' offense has become a backwater under such high-intensity defense, and the team can't implement any of the tactics that Monty Williams just drawn. In the end, the Pelicans' offense turned into a one-on-one heads-up between Anthony Davis and Anjie. The results of this can be seen.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, Davis's backward turnaround jumper was knocked out of the frame under the interference of Anjie. Although the game was not over yet, at that moment, Davis's heart suddenly collapsed.

It's over, he didn't expect that his first trip to the playoffs would end like this.

106-99, the Pelicans, who were still seven points behind in the final 30 seconds, had lost their last hope.

That's right, this is the last hope. Today's game is the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs at the Smoothie Kings Center in New Orleans, and the previous series was 3-0...... The Pelicans are in the shadow of Anjie and have not won a game!

The clock is dwindling, and Anthony Davis' playoff journey is coming to an end......
