Before the second matchup between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies began, the hottest topic in the entire basketball circle was Westbrook's injury. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and when this game ended, Anjie once again became the center of heated discussions among fans.

It can be said that this whole season, Anjie has been the master of media public opinion. From building a championship team at the start of the season, to the season's winning streak and the war of words with Sam Smith, all the way to the playoffs.

If last season's NBA belonged to the Heat's Big Three, then this season's NBA undoubtedly belongs to Anjie.

"Oh my God, look at this guy. Westbrook, who was lying in the hospital room, took out his mobile phone, only to find that it was full of news about Anjie.

Anjie broke the record again, making history with 11 blocks in a single game in the playoffs. ”

"An ancient beast that has traveled through time and space - China An. ”

"With a 2-0 overall score, will the Trail Blazers be able to sweep their opponents again?"

These exaggerated titles make people not want to pay attention to Anjie. So the media is a double-edged sword, they can not only ruin your reputation, but also make you completely popular.

Since the online media encroached on the market, the sales of traditional media are declining day by day. But this does not include the Sports Herald, which has an authorized column for Anjie.

No matter how developed the Internet is, no matter how many newspapers you read in countries and regions, you will not be able to find a second media that writes about AnJie in such detail.

Wu Hua has also changed from a small special reporter who was beautiful back then to a prominent celebrity in the newspaper today. Everyone knows that keeping Wu Hua is equivalent to keeping An Jie.

Now, the Sports Herald even has a dedicated English edition. It can also be seen from this that this Anjie fever is not limited to China.

"They all said you were just one championship away from overtaking me. You know, Ann, I really regret teaching you so well. The morning after breaking the record, Anjie also received a call from Olajuwon himself. Of course, Olajuwon said this, and he was just joking. Anjie can be successful, and Dameng is equally happy.

"It's useless to regret it, you asked me to guard the last honor of the center, but I will do what I say. Anjie is also in a very good mood as he has finally shaken off the haze of Westbrook's injury.

"Hahahaha, don't be so big. And that's just the Western Conference semifinals. Tighten your nerves for me, there's still a long way to go!"

After talking to Olajuwon on the phone, he was greeted with the blessings of Anjie's other friends. Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Dazhi, Chinese Basketball Association and other domestic compatriots naturally needless to say, they all sent sincere greetings to An Jie by phone.

On the other hand, Kobe, Durant, Morris, Paul George and others also called, and Anjie's excellent performance in the playoffs not only made him a celebrity in the hearts of fans. Even in the hearts of fellow NBA stars, Anjie has become extremely popular.

Of course, Nike, which signed a long-term contract with Anjie, sent congratulatory text messages as usual, first congratulating Anjie on his victory and breaking the 23-year-old record "by the way", and then attached a very expensive bonus.

"$3 million for each NBA record broken. This was an incentive clause that Moslav tried to get for Anjie when he renewed his contract with Nike. However, this season, relying on this clause alone, Anjie has already made a lot of money.

It's hard to tell whether Moslav is too far-sighted as an agent or too confident in Anjie.

Money, fame, honor, and, of course, most importantly, victory.

Those 11 blocks have brought a lot of benefits to Anjie. But as long as he doesn't touch the O'Brien Cup, no matter how many times he wins, Anjie will not be satisfied.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Grizzlies had to return to Memphis with a 2-0 score. On the Thunder and Spurs, the score became a 1-1 draw.

Although Westbrook was injured, the excellent performances of Durant and Thunder rookie Reggie Jackson still capsized the old and cunning Popovich in the gutter.

As for the East, the Heat and the Bulls also "unexpectedly" tied 1-1. Although the Bulls have not had Rose this whole season, the rise of Jimmy and Butler, a swingman at the guard, has made the Bulls' strength still not to be underestimated. Being able to beat the Heat in the playoffs also proves the strength of this Bulls team.

As for the other Eastern Conference semifinals, the one that made O'Neal so bored that he wanted to watch Anjie News, it was between the Indiana Pacers and the Knicks.

Anjie's number one fan, Paul George, just won the Most Improved Award yesterday, and the Pacers led by him are very strong. It's a pity that under the strong resistance of "Little Melon" Anthony, the score of the two sides was also 1-1.

That is, the game has been played so far. Anjie's Trailblazers are the only team that hasn't lost in the second round yet. Of course, they are also the only team to have won in a row since entering the playoffs.

The record is a testament to the strength of the Trail Blazers, but for Lionel Hollins, the overwhelming coverage only makes the Grizzlies' situation worse.

Mike Conley, the defender who could have been a Memphis hero, has been scared by Anjie's defense.

Tony Allen's defense is still a sharp blade, but after playing against the Trail Blazers, this guy's confidence on the offensive end has also become less and less.

The "old prince" Prince had to obey the old man. The veteran, who joined the league in '02, is no longer suitable to start on the playoff stage.

As for Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, the Black and White Bears have seen the difference in quality between them and Anjie and Aldridge through two matches.

The Grizzlies were able to win against the Clippers first because Jordan Jr. and Griffin were at a loss in the face of Gasol and Randolph's onslaught. But the current set of beating the Clippers can't help the Grizzlies beat the Trail Blazers.

In the two games played in Portland, the Grizzlies did their best. But the cruel result gave this group of hard-working guys a slap in the face.

After a day of bombardment of reports about Anjie, the Grizzlies had to face the Trail Blazers once again. Although this time, the battlefield was shifted to FedEx Field in Memphis. Although this time, tens of thousands of Grizzlies fans will be the sixth player on the battlefield. But most people are still not optimistic about the Grizzlies' prospects.

"We've got to win this game at home! We've got no way back!Victory, victory! Even if we fight the court, we need a win!" Lionel Hollins yelled uncharacteristically before the game, knowing that if the Trail Blazers made another game, the series would be 3-0. And no team in NBA history has been able to complete a 3-0 comeback, and Hollins is clear that his Grizzlies will not be able to accomplish such a feat!

So for the Grizzlies, it's no different from the last game. Losing this game means that they are almost out of qualification.

Don't say it, Lionel Hollins' yelling really works. At the beginning of the game, the eager Trail Blazers attacked very fiercely.

With Lillard's breakaway, Matthews' movement, Iguodala's playmaking, and Aldridge and Anjie's subtle combination, the Trail Blazers almost showed their final form on the offensive end.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the Grizzlies actually survived!

The Grizzlies kept the Trail Blazers' scoring momentum at bay with desperate defensive pressure and gambling wrap-and-roll defense, and on the offensive end, inexplicable balloons, such as Tony Allen's three-pointers, Mike Conley's frontcourt rebounds, and the heart-wrenching breakaway of "Old Prince" Prince.

It's embarrassing, it's ugly, it's hard to move an inch. But the Grizzlies, relying on their positivity, survived the entire first half.

In the words of Mike Brynn: "These bears from Memphis have lost their minds! They just want to win, even if it costs them everything!"

At 50-55, the Grizzlies led the Trail Blazers by five points at halftime. The Grizzlies, who took the lead, weren't going to converge, they were just going to do more in the second half.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies were a bunch of outlaws. An ugly but ferocious attack, a gambling but tough defense. Hollins has even given up the normal rotation and will continue to fight on the court as long as he still has the stamina. What rotation time, it was thrown into the trash by Hollins.

Messy, punches and kicks, hammer wrenches, bench tables, the Grizzlies used everything they could, and in the end, they held back the Trail Blazers. Even if they are embarrassed, they will drag their opponents into the mud and roll together.

It's just that in the fourth quarter of the game, An Jie can continue to get up and run from the mud. And the scarred giant bear no longer had the strength to struggle.

"Ann's Flying Split!"

"Andre Iguodala!

"Nicholas Batum~~~~Three!"

"Damion Lillard, he did it! This guy is against Mark's defense, forcing a layup and a free throw!!"

A wave of onslaught by the Trail Blazers completely took the life of the Grizzlies. Lionel Hollins was on the bench and he had even forgotten about the substitution.

The Grizzlies fought so hard that they could do whatever it takes, but in the end, they still struggled to find a win. This incident is too big a blow to Hollins, is the Trailblazers really strong enough to be this way?

Eventually, the Memphis players became heroes. 105-100, this is the smallest playoff matchup between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers. But the butcher from Portland still took away the victory mercilessly.

3-0, this set of numbers weighed heavily on the Grizzlies, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

As he walked into the tunnel, Marc Gasol avoided the camera and wiped the corners of his eyes. Although he hates to admit it, Mark Gasol knows that his road to the playoffs has really come to an end......
