Chapter 37: The Rebound

"Brooke Lopez! beautiful buckle! Chinese can't stop him! Stanford University's king, Brooke is back strong!" Next to Paul Philips, the ESPN commentator spat passionately into the microphone. www.biquge.infoBrook Lopez scored in such a high-profile way just after he returned, and Stanford fans finally found a flashpoint after holding back for so long.

The big man who was taciturn and like An Jie liked to speak with his actions.

"Well done!" Robin Lopez waved a towel frantically on the bench, hoping that his brother would give the Asian a little more color.

After that, Anjie, who had a physical decline in the Whirlwinds' offense, did not directly entangle with Brooke in the penalty area, he still mentioned high and made a wall for his teammates who ran without the ball. However, this time Brooke ignored the rest of the Whirlwind team, he stared at An Jie from beginning to end, and missing this Chinese was the biggest threat to the penalty area.

Without An Jie's assistance, the offense of the second team of the Whirlwind team played very poorly. The basketball continued without a passing chance, and in the end, the Cyclones' backup point guard C.J. Forts had to make a reluctant shot before the offensive time was out, and the basketball smashed into the neck of the basket, and Stanford University got the rebound.

After Brooke took a small step from outside the free-throw line to hold the ball, the rest of Stanford's players immediately opened up the space.

Oh, it's usually outside players like Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley who have access to this tactic, but today we saw Stanford open up space for two centers to play each other. ”

Anjie didn't dare to put him too far because Brook Lopez's mid-range shot was also very threatening. Brook Lopez sank his shoulders and made a few tentative steps. Without warning, Brooke suddenly started to rush towards the forbidden area guarded by An Jie, and he adjusted his pace, so that An Jie couldn't figure out which direction he would break through.

"To the left!?" Angel saw Brook Lopez switch the ball to his left hand, and he moved his footsteps to block Brooke's breakaway.

After the ball in his left hand burst into front of An Jie's eyes, Brook Lopez suddenly held the ball with both hands and turned to the right, he raised the basketball with one hand and prepared to go to the basket, An Jie saw the opportunity to use his feet to exert force, and he covered the ball!

Anjie jumped up and raised his long arms, and almost no shots could surpass this height.

"This time I won. "Anjie was at a total disadvantage against Brook Lopez and now he can finally change the situation.

However, Brooke did not attack the frame directly as everyone imagined, and immediately took back the ball after An Jie jumped, and then turned to the left on the spot, wiped past An Jie, who was jumping, and easily put the ball into the basket with his left hand. In the air, An Jie's arm was still hanging on Brooke's body, and the referee did not hesitate and hurriedly blew the whistle in his hand.

"Defensive foul!"

"Pretty footsteps! Angel didn't expect to be tricked by his usual tricks!" the ESPN commentator was full of praise for Brook Lopez.

"Ahh He has seen a lot of Fauvist centers, but this is the first time he has met a center like Brooke who likes to play with his brain. This guy is really very similar to himself.

Brooke showed no emotion on his face, he high-fived his teammates with a blank face, and then walked unhurriedly to the free throw line.

In the past, Anjie either had an advantage in back body skills and basketball IQ, or an advantage in strength. But today, he met a man who had both strength and skill.

"This kid, go back and see how I punish you!" Divac couldn't accept that his disciple was being teased like this, and Anjie still thought that this Brook Lopez was too simple.

When An Jie was holding the ball in the high position and was about to break through, he directly collided with Brooke, who was clinging to him, and at the moment when the two collided, An Jie felt his chest tightened and panicked. After gritting his teeth and squeezing out a little space, An Jie raised his long arm and prepared to make a layup, but Brooke pressed An Jie's body and flew the racket out.

"Another block! Angel is defenseless in front of Brook Lopez!"

"Suspend the referee. Ricard shook his head helplessly after seeing Anjie's performance on the court, this was the first time he had met an opponent of this level, but he still played according to his previous experience. Now he has to take An Jie down, firstly, to let An Jie recover some physical strength, and secondly, to make An Jie's mood a little calmer.

Anjie walked off the basketball court with his head down, he had never failed so much since he played in the NCAA. Anjie couldn't defend and couldn't open up on the offensive end, and Brook Lopez proved his dominance on the inside.

"It's okay boy, rest first. "Ricard didn't blame Anjie, what this kid lacked was not strength, but experience in dealing with this kind of opponent. Against Robin Lopez, he was able to play well with his previous experience, but Brooke obviously didn't rely on that previous experience to deal with it.

In the previous games, Anjie came into contact with the centers in the Big Twelve League, although there were some excellent guys among them, but their overall strength was still weak. It's the March Madness tournament, and the guys here aren't like the Big Twelve guys.

After Anjie went off the court, Brook Lopez did what Larry Myers thought he would have done on the inside. Even An Jie can't prevent it, so the Whirlwind team can't find a second person who can stop him.

"Brooke turns around and dunks!"

"How's the shot!? hit!"

"Brook Lopez once again shook off the defenders with beautiful footsteps!"

"Incredible performance! Worthy of the guy who can suppress Kevin Love!"

As for Anjie, no one remembers the Chinese who was silent on the bench, and the game has now become a solo performance by Brook Lopez.

"What are you talking about, boy!" Divac suddenly reprimanded loudly in Anjie's ear.

"Don't keep your head down here like a coward, put your head up for me, and take a closer look at how that Brooke guy is playing on the court! I've trained you for so long, and I'm not here to make you a stepping stone in the March Madness!"

An Jie was scolded by Divac like this, and the frustration just now was instantly swept away. He trains so hard every day and takes basketball so seriously, why should he be worse than this guy named Brooke? What that guy did on the court, An Jie was able to do in the regular season. He just didn't know how to deal with an opponent of this level, Anjie watched Brooke Lopez intently, if Brooke knew that he was being stared at intently by a big man, he would definitely be furious.

The game came into the 17th minute of the first half in the midst of Brook Lopez's unbridled performance, and Brooke had already led Stanford University to a 10-point lead over the Whirlwinds. If it weren't for the substitute players of the Whirlwind team who spared no effort to fight their opponents on the field, the point difference would have been more than that.

"I want all five of you to go back and equalize the score for me before half-time!" Ricard said, squinting his eyes at Angel, whose performance will have a direct impact on the outcome of the match.

"Don't worry, it's my fault, I promise that Brooke will be treated like a VIP. "An Jie didn't sit in vain just now on the field, he had memorized every movement of Brooke in his head.

"Coach, please let me continue to play later. Brooke knew that the Whirlwinds' favorite thing to do was to launch a last-minute onslaught, and he had to go on the court to face the big Chinese man.

Larry Myers saw that Brooke was not physically exerted, so he agreed to the outbound request. Now, the starting five tigers of both sides are all back on the field, continuing the abrupt duel just now.

"What's the matter, brother, that guy was blown out by the media. The proud Robin seems to have forgotten how he was scored again and again in the penalty area by An Jie on the field.

"No, he didn't play to his strength just now. If it weren't for worrying about him, I wouldn't be playing at all!" Brook Lopez's caution was one of the reasons why Angel was suppressed in the first place.

"Ann, if we don't switch positions later, you can play Robin Lopez that point. Asakin pulled Anjie's jersey before coming on the pitch.

"No need buddy, Robin will be handed over to you, I can't hide behind you like this all the time. Anjie smiled and rejected Asakin's offer.

"You ......" Asakin didn't distrust An Jie's strength, but An Jie's performance on the field just now was in front of everyone's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let that guy do whatever he wants anymore. ”

"Damn, you kid, what were you doing just now!? If I can't fight again, I'm going to hit you with a crutch!" Morris felt that he didn't know the Anjie who was on the court just now, and no matter who the opponent was, he believed that his partner could save the day.

After the first attack after the timeout, Anjie quickly entered the box and began to fight for position with Brook Lopez. In the mutual pushing and pushing between the two sides, Anjie struggled to get to a gap to catch the ball, and Mike Taylor saw the opportunity to feed the ball to Anjie accurately.

"So positive?" Even though Brooke had completely suppressed An Jie just now, he still didn't have the slightest slight enemy.

Anjie pushed back with his back to the basket, but Anjie did not enter the three-second zone as expected under Brooke's full stopping. Seeing that this road was impassable, An Jie leaned on Brooke and kept shaking his upper body, Brooke did not dare to slack off, and supported An Jie's waist inch by inch.

An Jie suddenly took a step to the left, and Brooke immediately followed, ready to use his chest against An Jie's shoulder to prevent him from breaking through.

An Jie's body was only halfway turned, and he suddenly withdrew the ball into his arms and took a step back in the opposite direction. After that, An Jie jumped on one foot, and his body was even a little tilted.

"This move! reminds us of the German's step-back jumper!" the commentators' eyes widened, and a big man of 2.19 meters made such a smooth and soft movement, they really didn't expect it.

Because An Jie's body leaned back a little, and Brooke was shaken by An Jie's feint just now, Brooke was not able to complete the block.

An Jie stretched his body as far as possible in the air and threw the ball in the most comfortable position.

"What fool!" Robin assumed that his brother would be able to defend well, and he was now engrossed in the basket, just waiting to grab the rebound.

However, the basketball did not pop out of the basket as Robin thought, and An Jie's ball didn't even touch the hoop, and the orange ball kept spinning in the air, and finally fell into the empty net accurately.

"Is this Dirk Lowyski's step-back jumper!?Who's going to explain it to me!?Has Anjie used this before!?" The moment the basketball went into the frame, even the discerning ESPN commentator had to be impressed by the brilliant goal.

In fact, Anjie's action is far from that of Lowysky, and his action is much simpler than Lowysky's independent retreat. It's just that Anjie has to lean back slightly on his body while jumping on one foot in order to get rid of Brooke's defense. It's just that An Jie's series of movements from virtual shaking to shooting are completed very smoothly, which makes people feel that this action is so pleasing to the eye.

"That's right, boy. Brooke was not annoyed by conceding the goal, but congratulated in his heart that his judgment of the Chinese was not wrong.

After seeing An Jie's performance, Divac finally lifted Erlang's legs easily again. "Show these guys all your full back-to-back skills!"

"An Jie finally responded! The Chinese refused to accept defeat so early! Audience friends, I suggest that you all do not leave the TV for a moment, I have a premonition that a spark is about to break out between these two super centers!" Philips finally came to the spirit after seeing An Jie's wonderful performance, and An Jie, who changed the declining situation, made all the fans of the Whirlwind team crazy.
