Chapter 345: Old Enemy
Just when everyone thought that An Jie, who scored 40 points in the last game, would increase the number of singles today, he used an almost aerial relay to send a beautiful assist to his teammates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is true that Rickard told An Jie that he wanted him to cut another 40 points to try, but that doesn't mean that An Jie can do anything wrong on his own. Tactics still have to be played according to Riccard's arrangement, and Riccard's layout revolves around the word team.
Because of this, it is very difficult for Anjie to score 40 points in a game. If you look at the GDP of the Spurs, if Popovich sees Duncan or Parker score three or four hundred points, he will probably blame them for playing too alone.
But An Jie is not in a hurry, he knows that the team's victory comes first. Not to mention forty points, even if he only scored four points but can help the team win, An Jie is very willing.
As soon as Anjie scored a goal in such a wonderful way at the beginning, Kevin Lefu was very unwilling. He hopes that he can respond with a performance right away, and it's best to come back in this round!
Aldridge is waiting for him, and as Nowitzki and Duncan continue to age, the debate about who is the league's number one forward between Aldridge and Love is also very hotly discussed by fans on the Internet.
Although Aldridge is an introvert, this does not mean that he is left behind. Being compared by people, he certainly doesn't want to be on the weaker side.
Both are interior players who like to shoot more and play low posts, and both are very hard-working and likable players. Lefou's advantage is his greater range, while Aldridge's advantage is that he defends better than Lefou.
At first, Love only hoped that he could avoid Anjie, but when he faced Aldridge, he realized that the Trail Blazers' second-in-command was also difficult to deal with.
Lefu didn't plan to sit on the inside line at all this time, because the space on the inside line was almost occupied by Pekovic and Anjie. But this is exactly what Lefu wants. This big white man who was born to play guard seems to have more sense when he plays on the outside.
Although Anjie has been fighting against Pekovic, his attention has already been spread throughout the court. The reason why the Trail Blazers' defense can be among the best in the league like the Thunder is because of An Jie's command in the back!
None of the Timberwolves' three outside players have strong offensive autonomy, and their finishing ability under the basket is below the league average. Angel doesn't have to worry too much about them, the only thing he's worried about now is Kevin Love, who is running non-stop outside the three-point line.
Spain's golden boy Ricky Rubio claims to be a hard shooter every summer, but his shooting percentage doesn't show that he's improving.
Perhaps the young Spaniard's lack of confidence was one of the reasons why his attack was a mess. But purely as the No. 1 playmaker in the attack, Rubio is definitely a qualified starter.
His passing is elusive and superb. That's why even if this guy has little to no offensive ability on his own, he can get a foothold in the NBA.
This time, Rubio had already caught a glimpse of Lefou's position with his peripheral vision. But he knew that in the face of Aldridge's tight defense, he had to use some special ways to get the ball to Lefou.
Seeing that Rubio wanted to force a breakthrough through Felton, Anjie felt that something was wrong. Even if Rubio does manage to break through, he still won't get any shots. He did this with only one purpose, to divide the ball!
"Watch his ball!" Anjie reminded his teammates not to shrink because of Rubio's breakthrough. Rubio's heart was half cold, his intentions were easily recognized by An Jie!
But the next move, he thought An Jie shouldn't have guessed it!
I saw Rubio, who had gained half of his body, suddenly jumped, but he didn't shoot, but wanted to jump up and pass!
He turned his head in the air to Wesley Johnson, who was out of space, Johnson was ready to catch the ball and Gerard Wallace tried to chase back in the hope of disrupting the pass.
Just when everyone's attention was on Wesley Johnson, Rubio flicked his wrist and passed the ball out of the back of his head. It's a complete, brilliant pass that doesn't look at the back of the head!
"What!" Anjie admitted, this time, he was completely deceived by Rubio's voice. If even a defensive expert like An Jie is deceived, then others can't react.
While Aldridge was still watching Wesley Johnson, Kevin Love had already received Rubio's ball.
Aldridge was not slow to react, he hurriedly took a big step forward, but seeing that Lefu had already jumped and shot, he didn't dare to pounce too far to avoid fouling.
So this time defensively, Aldridge did not interfere with Lefou's rhythm very well.
An Jie still worked hard to get in the position, even if this ball was shot to the trajectory of the movement, it was possible to hit it hollowly.
"Brush!" Sure enough, Lefu's three-point shot fell straight into the net, and he did what he said, and in a round after An Jie sent a wonderful pass, he saved face with a score!
"As a big man, Lefou's is so accurate. Rickard held his chin and complained to the coaching staff, "Do you want Angel to go?" No, it's a little too early.
"This guy is on the bar. Seeing Lefu complete the goal, Anjie was not annoyed, but smiled excitedly. Lefu has made the game very interesting since he was in college, but in the few encounters after entering the NBA, Lefu was completely suppressed by Anjie.
Unexpectedly, after a year of injury, Lefu has completed the step of Nirvana's rebirth. An Jie decided that in the next round, it was time to meet his "old friend"!
"Hey, LaMarcus, next round, you help me break the Montenegrins away. Anjie whispered in Aldridge's ear and quietly pointed at Pekovic with her hand.
"No problem, teach that kid Lefu a good lesson. With that, Aldridge ran forward, and Anjie served the ball.
Pekovic got the task of sticking to Anjie today, but now Aldridge took the initiative to stick to him, and he wanted to play with his back to his back, which made Pekovic completely unable to get out.
Lefu naturally saw Aldridge's move, and it stands to reason that if Aldridge really wants to fight by himself, he will not have any advantage in the face of Pekovic. There's only one reason why this guy would do this......
Before Lefu could finish thinking about it, he found a wide back leaning on him! Seeing this, Aldridge immediately ran outside the three-second zone and pulled Pekovic out. Now, the only two people left in the penalty area are Lefu and An Jie!
At the moment when this misalignment and singles opportunity was formed, the experienced Filton made a quick pass, allowing An Jie to seize this offensive opportunity!
Timberwolves small forward Wesley Johnson resolutely executed Adelman's set-up, including Anjie!
The reason why the Trail Blazers lost to the Heat in the last game was because of Gerard Wallace's shot at a critical moment. Elvis' inconsistent three-point shooting percentage this season has made him a key subject of study for many teams. Today, Adelman decided to take a gamble on Gerard Wallace.
Although Anjie had already set up a three-pointer for Gerard Wallace, Adelman didn't think he would suddenly regain his touch today. I'd rather let go of Gerard Wallace than Adelman to restrain Angel!
Anjie naturally saw Wesley Johnson in the bag, but Gerald Wallace's movement was not good, he did run to the bottom corner, but Aldridge and Pekovic were between Anjie and Wallace. If An Jie passes this ball, it is very likely that there will be a mistake, and it will also make the Trail Blazers waste an opportunity.
So Anjie decided to take the plunge, he wanted to crush Love before Wesley Johnson's bag was in place!
Lefu is confident that he can compete with An Jie on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is indeed very self-aware.
Limited by the disadvantage of height and reach, Lefou's defense in one-on-one is mainly dominated by top people. This kind of top defense may be effective against a sluggish heavy interior line, but against an all-round center like Anjie, Lefou's disadvantage will be revealed.
An Jie only took a moment to find a flaw in Lefou's defense. If you follow the ordinary defensive method, Lefu will not be able to carry An Jie. Only by actively moving his center of gravity forward can he get his opponent stuck outside the three-second zone.
However, the defense of the front top or the front steal is exactly what An Jie likes the most. In the last game, James tried to steal An Jie in the low post, and he was not cleaned up by An Jie. Is it rare for Kevin Love to be faster than James?
Seeing that Anjie did not push the first time, Wesley Johnson was overjoyed. In this way, he and Lefu will successfully complete another bag clip.
But just when Johnson was about to get the bag in place, An Jie suddenly turned around with the ball!
Lefu went forward with all his might, so when An Jie quickly turned around, he not only failed to retreat, but staggered forward.
Love's instability almost brought him into a collision with Wesley Johnson, who rushed to the pack.
It's too fast! Lefu didn't expect that Anjie's turn can be so fast! Many insiders have also chosen to use the turn to break through under Lefou's defensive method, but few people can wipe Lefu with their footsteps.
An Jie not only did it, but he only used one step to clean up Lefou!
Le Fu just turned around, but saw An Jie already taking off into the air. He held the basketball tightly with both hands, and with all the strength of his arms, he smashed the ball into the basket with all his might. This powerful and heavy button, when An Jie's body swung forward, and the basket was pulled so that it "creaked", all of which showed the beauty of power.
vigorously dunked, and this season, Anjie's frequent use of this season has almost become his trademark. A center on the offensive end should have such destructive power!
"Hey, I've won again, I'm going to change you next. After landing, An Jie did not forget to provoke Lefu, he knew that Lefu just had a cold expression, in fact, his heart had already begun to churn.
An Jie guessed correctly, Lefu now knocked the arrogant An Jie to the ground. But fortunately, this guy's mind is very mature and low-key, and he just wants to respond to An Jie's provocation with practical actions.
After that, the game went on for a few more minutes, and Anjie was as unstoppable as Lefu. Love's shooting from the outside today, made Ricard clench his fists nervously.
In the end, the two sides ended the first quarter of the game with a score of 28 draws. The Timberwolves are stubbornly resisting, but to outsiders, they are completely on the brink of collapse.
Lefu rested for a long time off the field, and it was a torture to confront Anjie and Aldridge!
The worst part is that he still has to fight those two guys for three more quarters.
Two pairs of machines and butchers, the two of them played in the first quarter, and there were strong sparks!
