Chapter 322: Over the Swamp

ended the abnormal relationship with Giardina, and instead of making An Jie feel upset, it made him feel relaxed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although Anjie hasn't done anything, he has always decided in his heart that he feels guilty about both Catherine and Giardina. Now, though, that sentiment no longer exists.

Playing back-to-back against the Magic, An Jie can now finally put his mind fully into the game. The Magic's previous record was 6-3, which is as good as the Trail Blazers' 7-2. Therefore, this game is also a head-to-head dialogue between the top two in the East and West, which naturally makes the ratings of major TV stations become considerable again.

Winning two straight games at home and one on the road is what Ricard is asking for for the Trail Blazers' terrifying schedule this week.

The core of the Magic team is Howard "Warcraft", but Rickard has Angel under him. Before the game even started, Riccard was confident that he could contain the core of the Magic team. In such a situation, victory should be within reach.

Once the game started, Rickard's half guess was correct, because Anjie did guard Howard very badly.

"Dwight. Howard's performance this season has been exceptional, but this game has been particularly bad. ”

"Isn't it? What Howard is most afraid of inside is to play against An Jie, think about what he played with Yao Ming in the past, and what he will do when he plays against An Jie today. O'Neill is very familiar with the two men who are playing against him on the field right now, so what he says also represents absolute authority.

As soon as O'Neill's words fell, Howard hooked his hand to strike the iron under Anjie's interference. In the face of A Jie, a tall interior who knows how to defend and can't rush up, Howard is the most aggrieved.

His athleticism was not brought into play under An Jie's entanglement, and his skills were not up to par in the inside singles. Although Howard and An Jie giggled before the game, after the game started, An Jie would not be soft on him, a heartthrob.

However, there is another half of the situation that Rickard did not guess. That is, the victory was not as easy as Riccard thought, and the resistance of the rest of the Magic team surprised Riccard.

"Ryan. Anderson got to the point line outside the three-point line, and LaMarcus Anderson. Aldridge was blocked and hung up. Sell! Hit! If Aldridge is one of the most accurate big men in the mid-range shot, then Ryan. Anderson is one of the most accurate three-point shooters! Two shots and two hits, Ryan. Anderson has already scored 6 points! ”

"Xidu. Turkoglu strikes again! Again! Although it was a long-range two-pointer, it also highlighted Tecoglu's excellent hand today! In front of the Magic, the baskets in the Rose Garden are as wide as the sea! ”

Yes, what Rickard didn't expect was that the rest of the Magic team felt too good today.

Anjie did a good job of defending inside, but the Magic were able to solve problems with shots from the perimeter. It's not that the rest of the Trail Blazers give them too many open opportunities, because the Magic players can score the ball even if it's not a chance.

The Trail Blazers themselves have also played well, especially the second team, Contney. Lee and Jamal. Both Crawford are in excellent form. Crawford's shooting percentage is not low, and Lee's three-point shooting is still good. But even so, the Magic team unbelievably bit the score.

In the second quarter of the game, An Jie continued to put pressure on Howard. But the brilliant Howard is now embarrassed on the offensive end, and the defensive end is also beaten to shamelessness. His strong body will not hinder Anjie too much, because Anjie himself has become stronger, and secondly, Anjie's rich offensive means also allow him to score without going toe-to-toe with Howard.

An Jie uses hook hands for a while, uses feet for a while, and if he doesn't do well on the next offense, he will use a tough way to make Howard foul. Although Howard was the best defensive player in the previous two years, he found that he didn't have many options in the face of Anjie.

Under the leadership of An Jie, the Trail Blazers' offense played smoothly. Even Aldridge hit a three-pointer from the outside. But the Magic team is not afraid of not being able to defend themselves, because they can always tie the score with a shot in the next round.

In the second half, Howard saw that he couldn't score directly, so he used a foul-making style of play. But fortunately, the Trail Blazers came off the bench with Kurt. Thomas and Marcus. Camby shared a lot of the foul load for Anjie and Aldridge.

Howard got his wish and stood at the free-throw line, but his free-throw percentage was a surprise. 3 of 12, this shooting rate, not as accurate as other people's three-point shots.

Yes, the Magic players are just too accurate with their three-point shots. It is unreasonable to be accurate, if it is only one player, the Magic team will not escape the fate of losing. It's a pity that the Magic are all accurate today, except for Howard!

It looked like the Trail Blazers had the upper hand, but until the final minute of the game, neither side had decided the winner.

In the last 30 seconds, the two sides were tied at 104. At this time, it was the Trail Blazers who had the offensive ball in hand. The Rose Garden was boiling all over the court, and now the five people on the field, each of them had the ability to finish the game.

But to be on the safe side, Ricard arranged for Angel to carry out the final throw. The other three, except for Felton, kept running outside the three-point line, tugging at the Magic's nerves.

In the end, Anjie got a one-on-one chance with Howard on the inside. In the face of Howard's tough defense, Anjie pushed two steps inside. But these two steps are already the limit of Anjie's ability.

Howard was also not easy, he was afraid that Anjie would recoil again, so he put his weight on the supporting leg behind him.

Unexpectedly, An Jie suddenly turned around, and with a jump shot, Howard was caught off guard, and his reaction was slow by a few tenths of a second. Using these tenths of a second, Anjie calmly shot before Howard completed the block.

Howard nervously contracted the basket, ready to scramble for the rebound. But in the end, the basketball bounced on the basket a few times before it finally crashed into the net.

"Oh! Quiet! Great goal! With only five seconds left for the Magic, the Trail Blazers now have a two-point lead! If the Magic team doesn't score the last goal, then Anjie will just complete a wonderful stunner! O'Neal still remembers that in Anjie's rookie season, the shot that Anjie threw that determined whether the Thunder could enter the playoffs was such a back-to-back turnaround jumper.

At that time, the green Angel failed to shoot the ball in O'Neal's head, resulting in the Thunder being locked out of the playoffs. But now, more mature and calm, he has completed this decisive shot.

In the final five seconds, Turkoglu fired from beyond the three-point line, and Aldridge stretched out his long arm, but still didn't touch Turkoglou's extremely arcing shot. It's a pity that although the Magic team's three-point shooting rate today is as high as 59%, the most important three-pointer, Turkoglou failed to hit.

The moment the basketball came out of the frame, the fans of the entire Rose Garden stood up and raised their arms and cheered wildly. The good fortune of the Magic team was used up before they could make it to the end of the game.

What a perfect ending to beat the best defensive player and beat the Magic. An Jie didn't cheer like crazy as he once did, and now he won't be excited for a few hours for a lore victory.

An Jie is not excited, it does not mean that the fans are not excited. The first place in the top ten goals, this position once again belongs to An Jie, and this shot has also been watched hundreds of times by fans over and over again.

Howard scored just 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting, while Anjie scored 28 points and delivered the game. In another battle with Warcraft, An Jie also won again.

After a night's rest, before the Anjie Magic craze had subsided, Riccard took the Trailblazers away from San Antonio.

The last time we beat the Spurs, it was because the Spurs, who have always been calm, inexplicably lost their feelings on that day. But this time, Spurs clearly didn't make the same mistake.

Perhaps because Aldridge didn't get a chance to go for a morning jog around the Rose Garden this time, their good fortune didn't get to San Antonio either.

The Spurs played their own style, fighting with the Trail Blazers with extreme efficiency and patience as a team.

The Trail Blazers also had the Spurs' team battles, but they weren't efficient.

In addition to Anjie, Aldridge and Contney. Lee, the rest of the Trail Blazers players have finally experienced how troublesome it can be to have a bad hand.

As the saying goes, one punch is hard to beat four hands, and just relying on An Jie and the three of them, they still can't compete with more than a dozen people who have performed well in the Spurs. Eventually, at the ATT Center, the Trail Blazers finally stopped their unstoppable streak and lost to the Spurs by five points on the road.

94-99, the Trail Blazers' back-to-back road trip was very rough from the start, and the loss to the Spurs was not unacceptable. But for the Trailblazers, who are used to winning, this defeat still seems so heartbroken.

Anjie cut a double-double as always, with 27 points and 12 rebounds. It's a pity that basketball is never a one-man sport. Even if An Jie can kill in the last game, it is based on the joint efforts of everyone.

After losing in a fierce confrontation, the Trail Blazers players still couldn't rest. They had to fly overnight to Houston to prepare for tomorrow's back-to-back games against the Rockets.

It's also back-to-back, but the Trail Blazers, who are running away from home, are more tired than the Rockets. For the first time, Ricard realised how much fitness can have on a player. The performance of the Trail Blazers players is exactly the same as before.

There is also a problem, that is, Ricard is very worried about Anjie's meniscus.

Although Anjie has no problems at all, Ricard still shortened Anjie's playing time a little to be on the safe side. In the long regular season, winning steadily is the long-term way.

The form of both sides has been poor due to the dense schedule, and the game is extremely ugly, and neither the Rockets nor the Trail Blazers can play a smooth and beautiful offense. An Jie is in a stable state, but the inactivity of others has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of An Jie at both offensive and defensive ends.

The dwarf pulls out the general, and it is simply suitable for use in this game. Forcibly picking a winner between two teams that have performed poorly is the leitmotif of this game.

In the end, the Rockets still relied on Kevin. Martin's slightly recovered touch narrowly beat the incoming Trail Blazers. 105-107, the Rockets became the general of the short, and the Trail Blazers also ushered in their first losing streak this season.

Anjie scored 30 points in this game, but unfortunately, when Aldridge, a stable guy, could only shoot 40% from the field, it was difficult for the Trail Blazers to win.

Despite the loss, Rickard breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, this week's damn dense schedule, the Trail Blazers have survived without danger.

2 wins and 2 losses, this result is not unacceptable.

After crossing the quagmire, although there are some bruises, the pioneers will continue to move forward at great speed!

The Devil's week is finally over, but the schedule of the scaled down season has just begun.
