Chapter 687: MVP!
"Defend, defend, defend!" to the beat of the DJ on the spot, the fans also rhythmically shouted the word defensive.
Catherine covered her ears, but she was shouting along with the fans. The excitement makes every fan's scalp tingle, not to mention the adrenaline rush of the players who play on the field.
This is the taste of the NBA, and this "smell of gunpowder" will make a large part of the population feel timid. But for An Jie, this atmosphere only made him more excited!
In such an atmosphere, it is quite difficult to stay calm. But Spurs are the team that can stay calm in any situation.
Parker didn't rush to attack, but patiently organized his teammates from beyond the three-point line.
This is the most intuitive feeling of the Spurs' offense today. Parker came out with the ball, and Leonard, who received the basketball, immediately dribbled and moved. Although Leonard, who didn't have a strong desire to attack today, only scored 4 points, Matthews still didn't dare to put too much space for this guy.
As for Iguodala, he is committed to defending the number two position. Danny Green hasn't had a shot for minutes under Iguodala's tight defense. But Iguodala still didn't dare to slack off, he knew that Green couldn't sit still at such a critical moment.
Leonard took possession of the ball to the top of the arc, and Parker immediately beckoned for the ball. By this time, the Frenchman had already borrowed Dior's off-ball block to get a shot from 45° to the left.
Leonard didn't slack off, he immediately passed the ball, and Parker received the ball and was about to shoot!
Just as Parker jumped high and was about to shoot the ball, Lillard suddenly came out! The sophomore rookie was more aggressive than ever, and he tried his best to squeeze away from Dior, and finally caught up with Parker!
Parker saw that Lillard's interference was very serious, and if he made a rash move, he would waste an opportunity! There was no way, Parker, who had already taken off in the air, had no choice but to change his shot to pass.
Duncan, who was ready to fight for rebounds, found that the basketball suddenly flew towards him, which also made Duncan and Parker have a tacit understanding, and if they wanted to change someone else, Parker suddenly passed like this, and he had already lost it!
"Damion was very aggressive defensively, he forced Tony Parker to pass the ball, and now, is Duncan going to hold the ball and play one-on-one with Angel!?"
As soon as the narrator finished speaking, Duncan began to push back. Anjie didn't kill Duncan, but took a small step back. At the same time, An Jie was constantly observing the surroundings, for fear that Duncan would be another feint.
Anjie was right, as Parker and Danny Green were running aggressively as Duncan played with the ball. These two guys must be trying to pick up Duncan.
It's just a pity that the Trail Blazers' defense is airtight right now. Only defense can bring them victory!
There was no way, seeing that his teammates had no chance, An Jie put himself a little distance, and Duncan suddenly shot in the frame, intending to catch An Jie off guard.
But An Jie's reflex nerve made him no longer hesitate for half a minute about any action that threatened the basket, and seeing Duncan start shooting, An Jie stepped forward and raised his hands high. Duncan was immediately severely disrupted, but the basketball had already been thrown into the palm.
Even though there was no jump, Angel's exaggerated arm span still disrupted Duncan's shooting rhythm.
The basketball that Duncan threw hit the neck of the basket and bounced back. This is also Duncan, if someone else is so disturbed by An Jie, it is not impossible to cast one, two, three and not stick.
Iguodala grabbed a defensive rebound ahead of Split, Popovich gritted his teeth, and Duncan still couldn't contribute on the offensive end.
Counting the shot just now, Duncan has made his 12th shot. But he only hit five goals.
A 41 percent shooting percentage is definitely not good for an outside player. What's more, Duncan is an inside line with a reputation for being efficient.
After successfully stifling Duncan's attack, Anjie immediately ran forward. Before Duncan could react, An Jie had already thrown him several positions away.
Lillard immediately got on the ball when he saw this, and Anjie caught the ball steadily and continued to advance with the ball.
Don't think that it is an exaggeration for the center to hold the ball and advance the offense, Yao Ming could use a back dribble to shake the opponent's outside players to attack quickly, not to mention that An Jie's ball control was even better than Yao Ming.
Because Anjie's start was very sudden, there is now only one Danny Green in front of Anjie. Anjie is not Griffin, and dunking is not Anjie's only purpose. Moreover, if Angel is strong, Green will definitely fall to the ground and ask for a foul.
An Jie stepped into the three-second zone with the ball with one foot, and at this moment, he held the ball with both hands and rushed to the left. Green immediately changed his center of gravity and reached out to cut the ball. Even if he can't cut it, the referee will sentence An Jie to hit someone with the ball!
Unexpectedly, just as Green's palm was about to slap on An Jie's basketball, the basketball suddenly moved to the right!
A second before the two collided, Anjie suddenly took a big step to the right, completely avoiding Danny Green. Facing the empty basket, An Jie jumped on one foot and dunked with one hand!
"Beautiful European step! In the past, it was Ann who made the pass and Lillard made the fast break. Today, the division of labor between the two is exactly the opposite!" Bill Wharton slapped the commentary table hard, and the shot just now not only put the Trail Blazers ahead of the score, but it was also very enjoyable to watch.
Danny Green froze in place, he couldn't believe that he had just been dangled by a seven-foot center with a European step.
An Jie's flexibility in footsteps can be said to be no worse than that of an outside player! And it is precisely because An Jie is a center that Green did not expect An Jie to use European steps against him.
A perfect defense and a wonderful counterattack, after An Jie came on the field, the effect was immediate.
Helpless, Popovich wanted to scold, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't scold anything. The Spurs didn't do anything wrong. If you want to blame, blame this MVP for being too strong!
Dozens of seconds later, Parker, who broke through, was also interfered with by Anjie and missed a layup. Aldridge protected the defensive rebound for Anjie, who went to the defense, and the Spurs immediately retreated at full speed, and even Duncan tried to sprint on the court.
The Trail Blazers' quick counterattack really scared the Spurs. Two seasons ago, the Trail Blazers were one of the worst teams in the league to fight back. A Felton and a Matthews, plus an out-of-fashion "Elvis" Gerard Wallace. Such a configuration is indeed running.
Now, however, the Trail Blazers are a team that can quickly jump into the fast break even at the center. If the defense is not fast enough, I am afraid that the Trail Blazers will steal two more points.
The Spurs' retreat avoided the appearance of a fast break, but positional warfare, which is also the Trail Blazers' strong point. An Jie stood at the free throw line and raised his hand to ask for the ball, Popovich even felt that An Jie standing on the free throw line was more terrifying than An Jie standing in the low post!
An Jie held the ball with his back, and Duncan, who was behind An Jie, did not dare to reach out rashly to steal. As long as his center of gravity is slightly forward, An Jie will definitely turn around and break through.
The entire Trail Blazers team revolved around the 00 "Tower," and Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary area was suddenly speechless. Because at this moment, he saw the shadow of the Thunder team on the court. It's just that An Jie, the organizational core of the Trail Blazers, is stronger than the An Jie of the Thunder team back then!
With a flick of Anjie's wrist, the basketball came to Lillard, who was outside the three-point line. Lillard managed to get rid of Leonard, and he didn't want to waste this opportunity.
So Lillard didn't think about it, and jumped straight and threw the ball to the basket.
"That's a rush!" Kenny Smith yelled in disappointment.
"No, it's not a shot!" exclaimed Charles Barkley the next second.
Lillard's "shot" was not to go to the basket at all. While everyone's attention was on Lillard, Angel jumped high and took the flying basketball, ready to dunk it into the frame.
At this moment, Beris Dior couldn't help it. This guy jumped off the cover, and after seeing that there was no hope, he simply hugged An Jie and fell together!
An Jie barely dunked, but he was forced to pull the ball to the neck of the basket. The basketball flew off, and An Jie fell in embarrassment. And the referee's whistle also sounded in time!
"Phew~~~~" There was a huge boo in the Moda Center, and Brystio became the focus of the audience at this moment.
People were still worried about whether An Jie would be injured by this bad foul, but An Jie suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to Dior!
"You're moving me!" Anjie hit Dior with his head, and Duncan immediately intervened to separate the two.
In an instant, the boos at the Moda Center turned into cheers. This is Anjie's territory, and the more than 120,000 people in the stands at the moment are all Anjie's believers!
"Spurs No. 33 second-degree malicious foul, ejection!" the referee made his decision, and they gave the guy a chance just when Dior hurt Aldridge. Now, if the referee doesn't react, I'm afraid that Dior will be even more unscrupulous.
"What!?" Dior spread his arms, as if he was particularly innocent. An Jie clapped vigorously, deliberately stimulating the nerves of the Spurs players.
Ultimately. Christian Dior walked into the tunnel accompanied by the stadium staff. As he passed the stands, countless Portland fans gave him the middle finger.
An Jie walked to the free throw line, and the originally noisy Moda Center suddenly fell silent.
"MVP!" At this time, I don't know who yelled in the stands.
"MVP!" The second voice, three people shouted.
"MVP!" The third sound, the stands have been infected.
"MVP!" When these three letters were shouted for the fourth time, it had become a chorus of 20,000 people!
"MVP!MVP!MVP......" In the shouts of the fans, An Jie hit the first free throw steadily.
The audience cheered for a few seconds, but when An Jie held the ball again, the deafening MVP shouts rang out again.
"Crazy, these fucking people are crazy!" Kenny Smith turned off the microphone, and the atmosphere around him was breathtakingly hot!
"This is Anjie's territory, and we're in his kingdom!" O'Neill spread his arms, enjoying the excitement of this crazy moment.
In the end, An Jie made two free throws and two shots to expand the difference to three points. The morale of the Spurs has already fallen beyond this value.
"Anjie! Flying Big! But Leonard, he didn't play on the offensive end of the whole game today, and he just wanted to play, but he got such a result!"
"An Jie pushed Duncan, Duncan was unmoved! But An didn't give up, he hooked his hand directly! The ball went in, the great Chinese center! He led the Trail Blazers to move forward!"
"Iguodala three-point shot! No! But Ann grabbed the offensive rebound, he jumped quickly on the second time, Duncan fouled! Oh! The basketball scored, and the free throw was added! Now, the Spurs are in big trouble!"
"That ball was fouled, what the fuck did you blow it about!" Popovich was already on the sidelines. This veteran coach has always been known for being stern and ferocious, especially when it comes to scolding referees, Rickard can't compare.
As AnJie said to Aldridge when he first came on the pitch, he completely took over the game. Whether it's defense or offense, Anjie has become the biggest trouble for the Spurs.
Danny Green started to miss from beyond the three-point line, Parker's breakaway wasn't as lethal as it was at the beginning, and Tim Duncan was completely suppressed by Angel. The Spurs' offense came to a standstill, while Anjie's crazy performance continued.
When Anjie scored his 36th point of the game with a turnaround shot, the gap between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers was officially widened to 10 points. At this moment, there are only 45 seconds left for the Spurs.
Popovich called a timeout, and it was clear that he wanted to replace all the main players. On the Trail Blazers' side, Ricard will definitely replace all the starters with a "tacit understanding".
"Ah!!!" Just as An Jie walked off the court, he looked up to the stands and shouted, beating his chest and shouting!
"Ah!!!h
"You know what, Shaq, I'm getting goosebumps all over my body!" Kenny Smith had to turn up the volume to make his voice heard by the fans in front of the TV.
"You know what, Kenny? I suddenly realized that I was the second best center in the league. Because the first good position is reserved for An Jie!" O'Neill expressed his love for An Jie in his own way.
There was no suspense in the game, and the originally anxious battle became clear because of An Jie's late force.
"Ann!" Sitting on the bench, Aldridge patted Ann Jie on the shoulder hard.
An Jie turned his head with a grin, his smile was always so sunny, and he could always make others feel at ease.
"I'm going to play with you for the rest of my life!" the elegant Aldridge burst into a foul mouth.
Who the can care so much in this bloody moment. Let Anjie lead the whole of Portland to fly together!
