Chapter 533: Hedong, Hexi

The 09-10 season was Anjie's second year in the NBA league and his first playoff game with the Thunder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That year, Anjie was chanted as MVP by fans throughout the Chesapeake Energy Arena at home. That year, when the Thunder team failed, Kobe Bryant jumped onto the technical platform and accepted the worship of more than 20,000 people in the audience like a king.

An Jie, on the other hand, fell to the floor, the first time he had lowered his head in the entire series.

The young Thunder and the Lakers, the champion of the year, fought to the tiebreaker, but in the end, the Thunder and An Jie were still defeated by the Purple and Gold Army.

At that time, the entanglement between Gasol and Bynum was very fatal for Angel. Kobe Bryant's omnipotence also made the Lakers a flourishing presence in that era.

Now, three seasons later, it's Anjie, it's the same Purple and Gold, and it's Gasol. But the situation of the two has changed dramatically.

Gasol's embarrassment on the defensive end makes people lament the glory of the Purple and Gold a few years ago.

Just now, Anjie pushed Gasol hard and completed another heavy dunk under the basket. He was unscrupulous on the Lakers' interior, and the demoralized Gasol and Howard had not even bothered to have too much physical contact with Anjie.

The Lakers are falling behind more and more, and what about D'Antoni, the mustache sits quietly on the sidelines like a nobody.

This season, the Lakers have changed three coaches. Among them, D'Antoni has the best record. Without him, the Lakers probably wouldn't even be able to keep eighth in the West.

But once in the playoffs, even D'Antoni couldn't have done better. The run-and-gun he excels at can't be implemented by the Lakers, and the Lakers players don't want to adapt to D'Antoni's tactics.

When Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon and collapsed, the entire Lakers team actually collapsed.

Anjie also scored unscrupulously on the court, and Aldridge also beat Gasol with his excellent performance.

Lillard, one of the few rookies who can play in the playoffs, shines even more. D'Antoni made several changes to defend Lillard, but to little effect.

Howard and Gasol can still score, but their scoring efficiency is definitely not what an interior player should be.

Howard even dunked a ball under Anjie's strict defense. Gasol didn't have much of an advantage against Aldridge either.

This war between the inside line and the inside line ended with a big victory for Anjie and Aldridge.

Since Anjie completed that defense to block the box, Gasol and Howard have not been able to bounce up. And the cooperation between Anjie and Aldridge is more and more wonderful every time.

Ann faked the ball and gave it to LaMarcus, who took the ball and dunked it! Gasol was a little slower. ”

"LaMarcus turns around and shoots! No, it's not a jumper, it's a pass! Ann jumps high, a nice air relay, and Howard doesn't react to that!"

"Another great pass from Steve Nash, Ci Shiping got a big open shot. Oh, it really shouldn't be, this is the first time that Ci Shiping has missed such an open shot in this game? Nash has only scored 3 assists so far, and it's not because he doesn't pass the ball or doesn't pass well. It's Nash's teammates who can't convert his brilliant passes into scores. ”

Many fans who watched the live broadcast of the game in Los Angeles turned off the TV angrily, and even Kobe Bryant, who was in the hospital at the moment, shook his head helplessly.

In the opening game of this season, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers F4 with a powerful attitude. But Kobe Bryant didn't expect that the two teams who met in the opening game would be in a very different situation now.

In order for the Lakers to enter the playoffs, he fought so hard that he ruptured his Achilles tendon. However, his teammates did not want to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity.

After the game reached the fourth quarter, the Lakers finished in a state of being slaughtered. Ricard made all of his main players early, but things didn't get any better for the Lakers.

Even Meyers Leonard scored a few goals on Howard's head, and Anjie and Ricard were excited to see it. After all, the substitution players can play with confidence, which is only good for the team, not bad.

Derek Fischer was a little unbearable to play until the end, and Fischer was full of emotion when he saw his former club being beaten so badly.

Lakers backup guard Vieddy Meeks possessed the ball past half court, and Fischer didn't put much pressure on the opponent at all, because he didn't have to.

Meeks had a terrible time today, hitting just one of six shots, but for Lakers fans, that's the norm for Lakers bench players. Throughout the season, their bench players have been shooting at this percentage.

Meeks looked ahead in despair, even in the final moments, even with the full bench, but the Trail Blazers' defense still looked solid.

It was at this point that Meeks saw Howard open his hand on the inside for the ball. Meeks didn't think about it and immediately slipped the ball into Howard's hands. He didn't want to keep possession of the ball and continue to be the center of attention. Now Meeks, don't find a hole to get into.

Howard received the ball and was furious about scoring one on the head of Meyers Leonard. Anjie suppressed him, and now even Leonard, a rookie, doesn't take him seriously, which really annoys Howard.

Howard slammed into it, and Leonard's body naturally couldn't withstand such a huge impact.

At this time, An Jie stood up. He made a gesture to Leonard, and Leonard looked at it. It's just that this detail of Anjie's interaction with Leonard is rarely discovered. Howard, who has been blinded by anger, can't see it even more.

Howard, who had tasted the sweetness, gathered his strength and prepared to launch a second shock. Leonard's defense has been shaken, and Howard only needs to take one more step inside to turn around and dunk!

Leonard swallowed, he knew what Anjie's gesture just now meant. In training, An Jie explained the key points of this movement to himself more than once. Don't look at it as an opportunistic trick, but it's not easy to get the timing right.

An Jie still stood on the sidelines with his waist crossed, watching intently the confrontation between Leonard and Howard. If An Jie changes into a suit, people may think that he is the head coach.

"Come on, Mayers, come on, just like you did in training. An Jie's mouth was broken, he didn't want Leonard's hard-built confidence to be shattered by Howard.

That's when Howard struck a second punch! He slammed into Leonard in the back.

"It's now!" Leonard saw that Howard was about to collide with him, and instead of blocking forward, he deliberately retreated!

This timing of retreat, Leonard and Anjie have practiced hundreds of times. Today, his hard work has finally paid off!

"Damn bastard!" Howard felt like he was behind his back, and without a focus, he knew something was wrong!

Looking at it again, An Jie was standing on the bench smiling proudly and applauding Leonard. In the next second, Howard staggered back a few steps due to inertia, and the referee undoubtedly gave Howard a walking violation.

"Leonard's drop back was beautiful, but I don't think Meyers could think of that on his own. As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, the director inserted a replay. This replay is the previous picture of Anjie directing Leonard's defense on the sidelines.

'But Meyers was lucky that someone was going to help him out on the pitch. To be teammates with Ann, Meyers must have learned a lot. ”

Now, even when An Jie is not there, he is able to influence the situation on the field. Howard's anger suddenly vanished, replaced by a great sense of frustration.

An Jie, this Chinese is just like Yao Ming back then. As long as he meets him, Howard is destined to have no good fruit to eat. Another complete defeat, Howard's last bit of hard work has been consumed by An Jie off the court.

"Well done Meyers, well done. Leonard happily ran over to attack, and when he passed the bench, Anjie also applauded Leonard.

Now even the Trail Blazers' bench has gone crazy, and the Lakers' chances of winning have approached zero.

When the game ended, Howard didn't even dare to look at the big score on the big screen. Judging from the voices of the fans in the Rose Garden Arena, the Lakers must have lost by a big score!

Leonard hugged An Jie excitedly after getting off the court, and I have to say that this bear hug from a 2.16-meter tall man made An Jie almost out of breath.

Everyone was laughing and jumping happily. Some excited fans even took off their shirts and waved their shirts shirtless in the injured room.

79-101, the visitors in front and the home team in the back. The 22-point difference is why the Trail Blazers players and fans are so excited.

When did the Lakers players leave? Nobody cares. People are so immersed in the joy that they can't help themselves.

What about the playoffs? An Jie barely played in the fourth quarter, but still had 28 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks. And Aldridge, who played for the first time after his comeback, also scored 20 points.

On the other hand, Howard's 20 points and Gasol's 16 points are the Lakers' two highest scores. But Howard's 51 percent shooting percentage and Gasol's 46 percent shooting percentage are a bit miserable for the core interior line. In other words, Gasol's and Howard's high scores were only built up by a large number of shots. The gold content of these two scores is far less than that of Anjie and Aldridge.

In the first game of the playoffs, Anjie not only led the team to a good start, but also let the world experience the terrifying strength of the Trail Blazers.

27 wins in a row and 69 wins have already shocked you? No, save that shock until the moment Anjie lifted the O'Brien Cup.
