Chapter 421: A center like Kobe?

The bearded man sat in a row of seats behind the Trail Blazers' bench, a position that has been priced at tens of thousands of dollars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to watch a game, which is not something that anyone can afford to spend.

To the left of the bearded man is a pot-bellied man, the owner of five movie theaters in Portland. To his right is an oil tycoon who lives in Portland, and this guy's residence is only fifty meters away from An Jie's house, and he can be regarded as An Jie's neighbor.

Only the bearded man is just the owner of a small restaurant, and when the business is good, the net profit is only tens of thousands of dollars a month. He worked all year to barely afford a ticket for such a position. However, because of An Jie's relationship, he was able to watch the performances of the stars up close today for free.

"Hey." In the warm-up period, An Jie greeted the bearded man sitting on the seat, and for a moment, the two rich men next to him stared at him with envious eyes. You know, even the oil tycoon who lives fifty meters away from An Jie's house has never "enjoyed" such treatment.

"What kind of business do you do, sir?" In an instant, the oil tycoon became interested in the bearded man.

"Uh...... Catering! Yes, catering. ”

"Catering, huh...... It's been good to do catering in the past few years. I just opened a restaurant in France last year and it's doing well. Your restaurant ...... sir"

"Me? I specialize in Chinese restaurants. Look, I still have a picture of Ann eating at our restaurant? As soon as he said this, the bearded man became excited, and he quickly pulled out the slightly old photo with rolled up horns from the inner bag of his jacket.

"Oh!?" The oil tycoon put on his glasses and took the photo and looked at it carefully.

"I can't believe Ann was so thin at that time." Looking at the smiling and slender An Jie in the photo, it is really difficult for the oil tycoon to associate him with the tall man on the field now.

"I've seen all the changes in this guy. You don't know yet, do you? Ann back then, almost couldn't even make the NCAA squad! ”

"Won't it?" The oil tycoon and the bearded man chatted speculatively, and Anjieben was worried that the bearded man would look awkward sitting alone in such an area. But for now, it's him who is too worried.

Just as the bearded man and his new friend were chatting energetically, George. Rickard is beckoning his players back to the dressing room as he prepares for the final touch-up of the game.

Seeing this situation, the fans in the Rose Garden Arena all wore the red T-shirts officially issued by the Trail Blazers. The players are preparing for the next games and the fans have to prepare for the next games.

"Be careful, Russell, if you're covered later, you'll be completely drowned out by the ridicule here. Here, it's Ann's home turf! Durant knew that Anjie's popularity at the Chesapeake Energy Arena allowed him to remain popular there. But the Thunder are in Portland and won't get anything but boos!

This was immediately fulfilled when the Thunder players came on the court. The believers of the City of Tears do not welcome any outsiders other than their own team. Even if the Thunder have a lot of high-profile balloon stars on the roster, including their former French forward Nicolas. Batum. But not everyone can get Anjie's kind of treatment that will still get applause away from home, and in the torn city, the enemy will always be the enemy. This group of fans will only dedicate their cheers and enthusiasm to the Portland Trail Blazers!

"An ~~~~~ Jie!" The last person to appear at the player introduction ceremony was naturally Portland's biggest hero. The arrival of Anjie has made this short-lived team that is facing rebuilding rise rapidly. When Oden and Roy both fell, who would have thought they would make it to the Western Conference Finals!

An Jie waved his hand at the audience, and the cheers, which were already scary enough, turned out to be even louder. It wasn't until all the headlights were back on and the referee was ready to start the game that the agitation in the Rose Garden finally subsided.

"You're very popular here, Ahhhhh Morris, who was standing across from Anjie about to jump with Anjie, looked around, whether it was in Ames City, Oklahoma or now Portland. An Jie is always able to win the hearts of local fans.

"Of course, hey, I'm not going to be limited by your little tricks today." An Jie's eyes became focused, and he trained hard for two days just for this game. Now, it's time to put it into practice.

"Little trick? You come and try Ann, if you don't believe in evil. ”

"Are you ready?" The referee's loud reminder interrupted the war of words between the two, and Anjie and Morris did not want to provoke each other with words, but they had long been accustomed to talking to each other as soon as they met.

Under the red storm set off by the fans of the Rose Garden Stadium, the referee threw hard, and the basketball jumped into the air. This time, the person who won the first small link victory for the team became An Jie again.

Because the Blazers got the first attack, Jeff. Van Gundy also stood in front of the technical desk with his hands on his chest from the very beginning. An Jie's state on the offensive end will be the key to determining the outcome of this game. So the first offense of the Trail Blazers, Jeff. Van Gundy takes it very seriously.

However, to his disappointment, the Trail Blazers scored on their first offense in the opening game, and the scorer was not Anjie.

"Wesley. Matthews' three-pointer gave the Trail Blazers the lead, and the Thunder's defense was still a little too shrunk under the basket, and Matthews seized the fleeting opportunity! ”

Van Gundy shook his head, Seforrosa, a defensive stalwart on the outside, shouldn't have been leaking. But Anjie and Aldridge's positive positions are indeed too deceptive. Although he was hit by a three-pointer as soon as he came up, Jeff. Van Gundy wasn't worried. The Trail Blazers can't afford to rely on this group of outside players who average less than 13 points per game. If Ricard's setup today is to focus on the outside line to avoid Morris's defense against Angel, then the Thunder will eat this game today!

The rest of the game was exactly as Van Gundy expected, with the Trail Blazers attacking significantly more from the outside than before, and Anjie and Aldridge just doing some dirty work. Wesley. Matthews, the shooter, became the main scorer for the Trail Blazers, and he did a surprisingly good job.

"Coach Ricard isn't really going to give up on the inside attack, is he?" The oil tycoon sitting next to the bearded man looked nervously at the field.

"Don't worry, man, Coach Ricard has a lot of ideas. Believe me, he did it for a purpose. "From the time Rickard first coached the NCAA Division 1 league, the bearded man looked at Rickard's ball and saw it now. He is well aware that Ricard's style of coaching is decisive and tough. He won't be afraid of the Thunder's interior defense, even if he was in trouble because of this in the last game.

As he spoke, the Trail Blazers once again launched an aggressive attack. Westbrook's defense was rough, and on several occasions Filton came close to being brought down by the young guy. And the referee's inaction also filled the Rose Garden Stadium with disgruntled boos.

Westbrook's defense is tight, but Filton is also an NBA-caliber player. At least he can do things like taking the ball through the half.

With the ball in possession at 45 degrees on the left wing, Filton began to gesturing. The Trail Blazers players immediately started running, and one of the most aggressive was Wesley. Matthews.

"And you want to give him tactics?" Van Gundy looked at the technical statistics on the big screen, and in just a few minutes, Matthews had already scored the same eight points as Durant, the scoring champion, with two three-pointers and a mid-to-long-range two-pointer. This guy seems to feel really good today, no, this kind of dangerous guy, I can't give him space anymore!

"Outside! Outside! Close defense! Van Gundy's shouting on the sidelines was not only heard by the Thunder players, but the Trail Blazers players naturally noticed the changes in the Thunder team.

In an instant, the space of Matthews and Felton and others was squeezed to the minimum! I have to say that the Thunder's tactical execution ability is really strong.

"Over to you!" Seeing that his space on the outside was getting smaller and smaller, Filton was not worried, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly. His and Matthews' mission has been completed, and now, it's up to Anjie to take over the game!

With an easy pass, Felton flicked the ball into the box over the heads of the Thunder players who had changed their defensive strategy. Just now, the Thunder's defense was focused on protecting the basket, so Felton's pass to the interior was in danger of being stolen. But under Matthews' strong firepower, the Thunder had to pull the defensive formation apart, and in this way, it was incredibly easy to pass the ball inside the line.

"It's finally here!" Morris held Anjie's waist, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Anjie didn't answer Morris, he received the ball and according to his habit, he first pushed it in.

"Morris was unmoved, oh my God, he was just too tough defensively. I bet Ann's blow was enough to crush the ribs of an ordinary person! ”

Morris gritted his teeth and persisted, although he didn't let Anjie advance half a step, but he himself was not comfortable. But it's almost over, according to An Jie's habits and his performance in the last game, as long as he is stuck and turns around and breaks through, this defense will be considered a success! Thinking of this, Morris immediately moved his steps.

Really! After An Jie hit his back to no avail, he immediately began to turn around! Morris proudly pushed his chest up, sorry good brother, today's winner is still me!

Just as Angel's turn was about to be completed, Morris was ready to take the onslaught. An Jie suddenly quickly turned to the other side along the original trajectory! Before Morris could react, Anjie took a shot.

"A mid-range turnaround jumper after two and a half turns in a row, oh my God, it's a defender's move!" Mike. Brin admits that Anjie is an interior player who is good at shooting, but attacking in this way after the free throw line, even Aldridge is afraid to guarantee that the ball will go in. It's rare for Anjie, is it really forced by Morris to only try this way?

"Holy, it's like Kobe!" Westbrook watched Anjie's movements, and suddenly remembered his opponent in the last round of the series, Kobe Bryant. Bryant. Isn't An Jie's shot just now Kobe's favorite mid-range turnaround jumper after being pushed by his back?

"Brush." Just when everyone thought that An Jie was cornered, he actually used the action of a guard to score the basketball!

The whole process, Morris watched so stupidly from beginning to end. It wasn't until the moment the ball was scored that Morris found out that he had been tricked by Anjie!

An Jie pretended to turn around and break through, but in fact, he used two and a half turns in a row to deceive Morris into not being able to deal with it. And this shooting without interference is not difficult for An Jie at all.

"Incredible Ann! We all said that his offensive means were comprehensive, but we didn't expect him to be so comprehensive. It is no exaggeration to say that many defenders in the league now may not use this trick better than An! "Kenny. Once again, Smith applied the word incredible to Angel.

"The area inside the three-point line is full of Ann's offensive coverage. No, maybe this kid is already practicing his three-point shot! I wouldn't be surprised if he hits a three-pointer on the next offense. O'Neal, as the most powerful interior overlord of the year, rarely praises the young interior line of today. He always thought he was the best center in the world, and everyone else was only abused in his time. And Anjie made O'Neill think again and again that he was back in the golden age of the center. No, even Olajuwon and others are not necessarily more comprehensive than Anjie!

"No, bro, you'll need to update your defensive traps too." After the goal, Anjie shook his finger at Morris secretly, disrupting his offensive habits and using the most comprehensive skills to defeat the strongest defenders! Riccard's arrangement worked!

Although it was just an ordinary mid-range shot, this mid-range shot made everyone in the Thunder team, from coaches to players, extremely nervous.
