Chapter 495: The Gap That Widened

The originally dull game was made exciting by a tough secondary attack by Marc Gasol and Anjie's breakthrough with the ball and a dream dance move. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and these two goals can be regarded as Anjie and Gasol Jr. kicking off their duel.

Although those two attacks were wonderful, they were not actually intentional by Gasol Jr. and Anjie. Gasol scored because Rudy Guy started throwing and Angel himself attacked because his teammates were unable to get out of space.

Both the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers are teams that take defense very seriously, so both sides are pushing each other to death on the outside. After figuring out each other's offensive routines, the shooting percentage of the outside players of the two teams began to decline.

At this time, it is time for Anjie and Gasol Jr. to step up.

The two then significantly increased their singles, with Anjie and Gasol Jr. not holding back, showing their highest level from the first quarter.

The two attacked and defended each other, and the fight was inseparable, which made the reporters who had been waiting for a long time excited.

It wasn't until the eighth minute of the first quarter that Rickard and Hollins replaced Anjie and Gasol Jr., respectively.

At this time, both the team score and the personal data of the two are basically equal. Only the second team of the two teams is still mainly defensive, and the offense is not exciting.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed the Grizzlies by one point 24-25 on the road. However, everyone knows that if the game is played for another 24 seconds, it will be the Grizzlies who are now one point behind.

"It seems that Sam Smith is right, you see this Angel, he is actually inseparable from Gasol Jr. If the fourth place in the West is a team that is not strong on the inside, it is estimated that the Trail Blazers have already established an advantage. A young reporter with blond hair and blue eyes chattered.

"Basketball is a 48-minute game, and I guess as a basketball reporter, you don't even know that, do you? If you jump to the conclusion now, you're a little too ignorant. A Chinese turned his head fiercely and roared at the handsome blonde man.

"What......" The handsome blonde guy just wanted to go up to find the Chinese theory, but was stopped by an older reporter behind.

"Okay O'Quiir, stop fighting. He's right, just one verse, nothing can be seen. And that guy named Wu Hua, it's useless for you to fight with him. Just as Sam Smith is Jordan's royal reporter, the Chinese is Ann's royal reporter. In his mouth, An Jie will always be the best. "The old reporter told the young people to put out the anger, and Wu Hua supported An Jie, which is normal. In the past, Sam Smith also unconditionally supported Jordan.

"What kind of royal reporter, pretending to be a ghost. The handsome blonde guy tidied up his outfit without hesitation, but it was obvious that he didn't want to trouble Wu Hua anymore.

"We're going to set a trap for Rudy Gay to get him to break through, and then we're going to force him to strike iron. In this way, the Grizzlies' offense is bound to be messed up. "Ricard didn't make any special arrangements for Gasol during the break, but instead let the players focus on the mediocre Guy.

"Why Guy?" asked Anjie, puzzled.

"This guy is just like Harden and Mayo, and it's easy to lose control of his shots. This is a lot better this season, but today, I see that this guy has a tendency to relapse from an old disease. "Rickard won't let go of any detail on the court, and Rudy Gay's repeated swings in the first quarter of the game are signals that Rickard can take advantage of.

'Let him shoot, but don't let him score. At least in the second quarter, Guy can't take it!Watch out for your defensive traps, as for offensive ......" Rickard paused and glanced at the bench. In the second half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers' outside offense was a mess. The defense, led mainly by Tony Allen, was too tough. Ricard can certainly let Lillard lead the team's offense, but why try such an inefficient option?

"Attack, let Andodo play alone in the low post!Ann, take Mark, it's not negotiable!"

"I'm waiting for you to set it up, sir. Anjie laughed out loud, Marc Gasol is indeed a good traditional center, and his performance in the first quarter was proof of that. But An Jie didn't think he would lose.

No, he doesn't even think that Gasol Jr. will be able to equalize with himself......

"Rudy Gay pulls up the jumper, and Iguodala makes a good push, as if he knows Guy is going to make a pullup jumper. The basketball slammed out of the frame, and An Jie controlled the ball. Heck, Conley is already empty, and as long as Rudy Gay has a wider vision, the Grizzlies will get a chance. "As soon as the second quarter began, Ricard's targeted tactics worked. Rudy Gay was still happy that he was able to break through with ease, and he thought he didn't score because he was unlucky. As everyone knows, he has fallen into the defensive trap of the Trail Blazers and can't extricate himself.

Changing the Grizzlies defense, Tony Allen's kraft candy is close to Wesley, and Matthews does not let go. Of the Trail Blazers' entire starting lineup, Matthews' three-point shot was the most threatening. Therefore, the task of seeing Matthews dead naturally fell to Tony Allen.

Now Matthews doesn't talk about three-point shots, but connects the ball, and it has to cost him a lot of energy. However, Lillard didn't make the game too complicated this time, he gave the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala gave the ball to Anjie in a good position after a three-threat. Fans never expected that the contest between the two giants in the second quarter of the game would start so quickly!

"The Trail Blazers' tactics are really simple and violent, they know that the Grizzlies are not easy to play inside, but they want to attack the inside. Let's see if Angel is really as vulnerable as Sam Smith says. The commentators of various TV stations also watched with interest, in the end, this time, can An Jie break through the defense of Gasol Jr.?

An Jie holds the ball in the basket and turns his head back to observe the situation. Everyone stared intently at the two of them, looking forward to another Mars collision with Earth.

However, An Jie just held the ball with both hands and shook it violently to his left hand. After that, An Jie suddenly exerted his strength, turned around and broke through to the right in the opposite direction!

Gasol Jr. was deceived by An Jie's first false blow, and when he wanted to return to the right direction to pursue An Jie, he found that the distance between An Jie and himself was no longer possible for him to make any remedy.

"It's too fast!" Gasol Jr. gritted his teeth helplessly, if you want to say that this league can rank in the top ten centers, Gasol Jr. may be the slowest one. And Anjie, there is no doubt that in terms of speed and agility, it can squeeze into the top three.

An Jie dunked with both hands as always, and with just one move, An Jie completed the dunk in front of Gasol Jr. This result is something that most people did not expect.

They thought that Anjie would attack very hard under the defense of Gasol Jr. As everyone knows, they saw An Jie with their own eyes and easily smashed little Gasol's defense.

"This offense...... It's surprisingly easy. Maybe it was Gasol Jr.'s lack of concentration just now, which allowed Anjie to take advantage of the loophole. "Well, that's how almost all the narrators explain it. However, just over ten seconds later, a similar situation happened again.

Gasol Jr. continues to defend Anjie, who finds himself having a hard time sitting and fighting the white bear.

So An Jie stopped advancing and began to shake his shoulders.

Suddenly, An Jie exerted his force to the left and raised the basketball, looking like he was going to hook his hand!

Marc Gasol didn't dare to act rashly, but he couldn't let Anjie take a shot near the basket calmly.

His solution was to move his feet slightly and raise his hands high to interfere with Anjie's shot.

Seeing this, An Jie's movements were still not interrupted. He suddenly stopped the arm that had just been raised, hunched over, held the ball, and took a step forward, easily passing under the armpit of Gasol Jr.'s raised arm.

A close-range pick-up, it's a bit of a bad distance for a pick-up. However, Anjie's excellent ball sense still allows the basketball to hit the net through a very small arc.

"Damn!" Gasol Jr. may be a good rim protector, but it seems a bit difficult to get him to follow him out to defend Angel.

After that, An Jie used a mid-range shot and a pass to attract the defense to shrink and gain an advantage for the Trail Blazers.

And it will be very difficult for Gasol Jr. to come back on the offensive end.

Unlike An Jie, who can easily score on the head of Gasol Jr., Gasol Jr. will be strictly guarded by An Jie every time he scores.

Over time, little Gal, who was not very good in physical strength, became worse and worse in such a long-term high-intensity confrontation, and his accuracy became more and more crooked. So his performance is getting farther and farther away from An Jie.

With both defense and offense coming to a temporary halt, the margin between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers is "rubbing" upward.

Slowly, people found that the flavor of the confrontation between Anjie and Gasol Jr. in this game has become less and less. Confrontation, as the name suggests, is called confrontation only when the two sides are evenly matched.

However, now, Gasol Jr. is completely at a disadvantage! Anjie can easily hit him on the offensive end, but he can't effectively shake Anjie's defense.

At this time, people were surprised to find that Marc Gasol, who has performed well this season, cannot be equal to An Jie at all! This guy and An Jie are still one level behind!

"I think we've all been deceived by that Sam Smith guy, and it's not a matchup between top centers from start to finish!" Kevin Holland confided in him when he saw that Gasol Jr. was once again unable to make his way in under Anjie's interference.

Sam Smith comments on the center: Does this guy know the center?

Anjie couldn't show a good performance when he met Gasol Jr.? No, Gasol Jr. couldn't compare with Anjie at all!

Even before the game was over, Sam Smith was already destined to pay for his words.
