One steal, one block, one three-pointer success. As soon as Anjie started, he didn't plan to give the Houston Rockets any respite.

Yao Ming was dumbfounded off the court, and after the transformation, Yao Ming actually paid less and less attention to the NBA. When An Jie won the double MVP and won the championship last year, Yao Ming was very surprised. After seeing An Jie's performance playing on the spot today, Yao Ming felt that everything was so deserved.

With such strength, if he doesn't win a double MVP and a championship, who is qualified to win it?

wanted to be unfavored by the outside world back then, but he also fought to the seventh game under a strong guy like Kobe. But the current rocket can't give Yao Ming much confidence.

Back then, the Rockets fought to hold the Lakers and crawl in the mud, and now the Rockets have not been able to get close to the Trail Blazers so far.

Being yelled at by McHale like this, Howard's mind also cleared up a lot. If he wants to prove that he is better than Anjie, Howard must at least be able to play on the court. If he can't even play, what will Howard do to compare with Angel?

So, when the Rockets went on the offensive again, Howard was obviously a lot calmer.

His fluid pick-and-roll and aggressive movement finally helped Chandler Parsons get an open shot. Parsons took a step inside the three-point line to receive a pass from Beverley and made a decisive shot, and the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Rockets finally scored a difficult goal at the Moda Center.

Parsons and his teammates high-fived each other, and all the Rockets players were expecting their momentum to continue. However, this group of guys didn't have to be happy for long, and An Jie once again extinguished the opponent's passion.

This time, AnJie didn't cut inside after blocking Lillard, but nailed it to the high post to create offensive space for Lillard.

Howard was in a dilemma, he didn't know whether he should make up for the interior or continue to stay in front of Anjie. Beverley and Terrence Jones certainly couldn't stop Lillard from hitting the rim, and Howard couldn't afford to watch Lillard score easily.

After some psychological struggle, Howard suddenly rushed from the free-throw line to the basket. The deterrence of the forbidden area, Howard must find his deterrent power against the forbidden area back then!

Lillard was not afraid of Howard, who came to the defense, and he took a slam in another suicidal style of playing by throwing himself up first and then finding a frame.

Along with Lillard, there were also Beverley, Howard and Jones, which means that Lillard alone attracted the bag of the three Rockets!

"Tut-tut. Rickard pouted, the Rockets' defensive system seemed to him to be miserable. He doesn't deny McHale's success as a player, but as a head coach, McHale is really close to being on fire.

Although Lillard can be impulsive at times, when he didn't plan to make a layup himself from the beginning, even if the Rockets five people blocked him, they couldn't stop him.

In the middle of the crowd, Lillard's wrist suddenly changed direction. He wrapped the ball carrier around his back and flicked it off.

The basketball came out of the gap between Howard and Beverley.

It's a risky pass, but once successful, the rewards are huge.

Anjie received Lillard's pass one step inside the three-point line, and after landing on the ground, Howard immediately turned around and pounced on Anjie.

An Jie raised his hands and jumped unhurriedly, even with a guy like Howard to make up for the defense, An Jie's shooting still did not lose the rhythm.

Wrist press, finger pinch, basketball shot. Howard immediately retracted his arm in the air, for fear of being whistled for another thug foul.

The shot, which was not much closer than a three-point shot, slammed into the front of the basket and then fell vertically into the net.

"It's so soft to the touch!"

"As long as it's within the three-point line, no matter where it is, it's a hot zone!"

"The big Chinese guys have always had a good hand, from Wang Zhizhi to An, they have continued this fine tradition!"

With just one shot, An Jie once again let the commentary area talk about him. Nowadays, in this league, there are more and more big men who can project. But it's really not common to be as stable as An Jie.

An Jie maintained his fiery momentum, and the momentum that the Rockets had just played was immediately extinguished by this long-distance two-point shot.

Then, James Harden fired impatiently from outside the three-point line, and the basketball naturally came out of the frame.

An Jie, who was originally stuck in the position, turned around with Howard as the axis at the moment when the basketball rebounded, allowing himself to come to the outside of the basket.

Howard was still wondering why Anjie gave up his hard-earned position, but he found that Harden's shot made the basketball bounce far due to too much power, which was a long rebound, and he couldn't grab this kind of ball under the basket!

When Howard knew Anjie's intentions, the rebound had already been bagged by Anjie. Trying to get a rebound may seem like a lot of skill at times, but it's actually a lot of skill.

Yao Ming was taller than An Jie back then, but Yao Ming's ability to protect rebounds was not as good as An Jie. Howard can jump better than Anjie, but since Anjie entered the league, Howard can only rank second in the rebounding list more often, and this year he was surpassed by DeAndrew Jordan and others and fell to fifth.

It seems that Howard's brief time dominating the league after Yao Ming and O'Neal retired is really over.

Grabbing the rebound, Anjie motioned for Lillard to continue pressing the tempo. Seeing An Jie gesticulating, the entire commentary area was boiling again. What does this mean? This means that An Jie still wants to continue to attack!

Before the Rockets could recover from the failed offense, Angel received the ball from mid-range and used a step-back jumper that suddenly stopped after a breakthrough to beat Howard again!

"An all-around interior attacker!"

"The most flashy center in history!"

"If Dwight could have half the number of weapons in Ann, Team Rocket would never be so embarrassed now!"

Once again, Anjie scored a seventh point in a row after the start of the match, and never missed. McHale immediately called a timeout, and today Anjie was a little unusually active on the offensive end. It seems that he is going to be unlucky!

"Well done!"

"That's how it should be, boss!"

"Dwight is almost dying, and this first quarter is less than half of the game!"

When An Jie got off the field, everyone came up to high-five him. An Jie didn't say a word, just used his actual performance to make his teammates excited.

Rickard gave Anjie a thumbs up and then sat down between the players with a small bench.

The cunning guy looked at McHale, who was thunderous on the other side of the court, and then at Anjie, who had just put on a strong performance. Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through his mind.

"Ann, you'll rest down there later. Robin, go up and hold on, don't let Howard open it. ”

As soon as Ricard said this, everyone was stunned for a moment. An Jie's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends just now is dominant, and it is unreasonable to replace An Jie, who is in good shape, at this time.

But An Jie, who studied the tactics of the Rockets with Ricard a few days ago, nodded calmly. He has no objection because he knows that McHale is definitely strengthening the interior defense right now. If the Trail Blazers' offensive focus suddenly shifts to the perimeter, the Rockets' defense will become a mess again.

"Darmion, after Anjie is off, you have to attack with the ball a lot. Listen, I don't want to see any change in the situation!"

"No problem, boss!" Lillard rubbed his hands and passed the ball to An Jie for so long, and now he was finally able to show his strength and attack!

At the end of the timeout, McHale seized the last few seconds to yell at the players. However, when the Trail Blazers players in white jerseys took the court, the former Celtics legend was dumbfounded.

An Jie, who had just focused on the defensive arrangement, actually sat on the bench with a glass of Gatorade! In other words, the arrangements made by McHale just now were all in vain!

"This damn fox!" McHale yelled angrily, and Rickard sat on the bench with his legs crossed.

The game restarted, and the liberated Lillard shone on the court. Even a tough "sapper" like Beverly couldn't contain the excited Lillard.

The sophomore-year-old guard has shown an age-inappropriate ability, and people are right to say that if the Trail Blazers didn't have Angel, Lillard would have been the star of the team!

His desire to win, his desire to score, his self-confidence and his unfailing strength made the Rockets' defense torn apart by Lillard!

With Lillard's breakthrough, Aldridge was also liberated. Yao Ming couldn't bear to see the rocket being beaten like this, even if An Jie was not there, the Rocket team had no power to fight back!

The momentum of this carnage did not finally ease until Ricard switched to the second team. The Rockets only have eight players to rotate, so they don't really have a second lineup.

Because of this, Harden was able to use his "porcelain" style of play to move back some scores. The impulsive Robin Lopez is simply a hotbed for Harden to display his "porcelain" talent, but Ricard doesn't care about it, and Harden's painless attack has no way to change the game.

18-27, after the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers had almost widened the margin to double digits. During the break, McHale laid out a lot of tactics, but he didn't even know which one was the focus of his messy setup.

This guy always tells the players all the tactics they use all the time, but they don't know any of them. This is also the reason why the Rockets always play very messily at critical moments. Chinese fans even ridiculed McHale, saying that his tactics can be summed up in four letters, "X***D".

With chaotic thoughts, the Rockets players went on the court with trepidation. However, this time, Lillard came out of the rest, and Anjie stepped up again.

"Andre!" Looking at Asik, who had a frightened look in his eyes, Anjie smiled evilly and leaned over to Old Miller's side.

"What's wrong, Ann?"

"Later, give me the ball as much as you can!"

"You madman, if you keep playing like this, you're going to score 30+ points again. Miller smiled and shook his head, it was so relaxing and enjoyable to play with such a guy.

"Why don't we try to cut a forty-point, or, higher?" Anjie patted Miller Sr. on the shoulder, and Jeremy Lin was already in possession of the ball.

But unbeknownst to Team Rocket, they were just heading for an even darker abyss......
