“3......2......1！”

"Beep~~~~~~"

Anthony. Davis's eyes lit up red, and he knew that the red light on the rebound was already on at the moment.

He has fantasized countless times that when the red light on the rebound lights up, he successfully defeated An Jie and became the new darling of the league and the challenger of the "king".

However, such fantasies, in the four series, have not been realized. Anjie's strength is so terrifying that the Pelicans can't even touch a game victory.

"First round, pass safely!" Anjie breathed a sigh of relief, and now Anthony. Davis is much better than he was when he was 22 years old. In four games, Davis is averaging 29.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and three blocks per game. That makes him only the fourth player after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain and McAdoo to put up such impressive numbers in his first career playoff game. At the age of 22, An Jie can't play such data.

Maybe in a few years, when he is old and Davis matures, he may not really be able to do this thick-eyed brat.

However, at least for now, Davis is far from being a threat in front of An Jie.

Thinking of this, An Jie pushed aside the crowd and went straight to Anthony, who was hanging his head. Davis walked over.

Davis seemed to sense something, and he slowly raised his head, only to find An Jie walking towards him with open arms.

"Good fight, boy. The O'Brien Cup, sooner or later, is in your pocket. Anjie whispered in Davis' ear.

Now, Anjie may not know it yet. His own encouragement made Davis, a guy, a creed for future struggle.

"The O'Brien Cup is mine!" This sentence encouraged Davis to move forward bravely until many years later.

4-0, after cleanly taking out the Pelicans, a newcomer to the playoffs on the road, the Trail Blazers once again became the first team in the West to get a break.

The difference in strength between the teams in the West is not particularly large compared to that in the East. A 4-0 score may be common in the East, but it is not often seen in the West.

The Grizzlies, Spurs, Rockets, Warriors and other teams all have to work hard for tickets to the second round. In particular, the Rockets and Spurs, who are third and sixth in the West, are currently tied 2-2, and if they want to separate the winners, they may have to fight for the winner through a tie-break.

The night after the Pelicans, Rickard immediately arranged for the players to fly back to Portland. The first game of the second round was to be staged at the Moda Center. They now have plenty of time to prepare, and Ricard has plenty of time to study footage of potential opponents.

The Clippers and Grizzlies, the winners of those two teams, will be in the way of the Trail Blazers' second-round game. Needless to say, the Clippers didn't have to say much about it, and it wasn't the first time the two teams had met in the playoffs. Grizzly bears, on the other hand, can't help but be a little worried.

At a time when the whole league is increasing the number of rounds and strengthening the offense, the Grizzlies are very different from the mainstream and have adopted a style of play based on iron-blooded defense.

The style of play of this team is the same as their main color, cold, no passion, and people who don't like it will fall asleep when they see it.

Riccard, however, is obsessed with the Grizzlies' style of play, and he loves the Grizzlies' style of play. In Ricard's view, the Grizzlies are the team that really knows how to win.

Although for now, the series between the Grizzlies and the Clippers is still very anxious. But Ricard believes the Clippers won't last long with just a few shots in the regular season.

Ricard can basically lock up, and the Memphis Grizzlies are their opponent in the second round of the playoffs!

So in the past few days, Rickard has focused on the Grizzlies. Even the players' training is for the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have many strengths, and so are the disadvantages. First of all, this team's finishing ability from beyond the three-point line is simply poor. There are only a handful of people on the team who can shoot three-pointers. Allen doesn't have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Secondly, the huge gap between the Grizzlies' bench and the main lineup is also a key point that Rickard must grasp.

While the Grizzlies have Vince on the bench. Carter, a respected legendary defender, also has Jeff. Green, a former All-Star player who swapped with Anjie that year. But today, in 2015, there is not much contribution that these two guys can bring to the team.

In the middle of the season, the Grizzlies had planned to talk to the Trail Blazers about Contenney. Lee's transfer was discussed. However, Nell. Orsie directly rejected the Grizzlies' request, which also shows how much the Grizzlies need a guy who can shoot three-pointers.

It's a pity that now that the playoffs have begun, the Grizzlies have not found this person.

As the days passed, many teams had already made it to the second round of the playoffs. It's a pity that the Los Angeles Clippers, who are ambitious every year, once again failed in their hopes.

Chris. Paul can't even touch the championship now, even the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Just as Rickard expected, the Grizzlies eventually eliminated the Clippers with a total score of 4-2 and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

But in Memphis, Grizzlies fans weren't happy for long. Running into the Portland Trail Blazers means that the Grizzlies' chances of continuing to advance have been reduced to a minimum.

To say that the Trail Blazers are the worst opponent in the playoffs is not an exaggeration.

With trepidation, the Grizzlies commander finally stepped on the plane to Portland and headed for "hell".

An Jie's huge poster is still next to the airport, and for many years, that billboard has never been replaced with other content. As a result, as soon as he stepped off the plane, little Gasol felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

The center of this league can be divided into several grades, but only An Jie belongs to the top gear by himself. Even Gasol Jr., who has performed well, cannot deny this. If the All-Ann line had been in the '90s, there would have been a "Big Five" center in NBA history.

This guy, even if he compares it with Olajuwon and others, is not lagging behind.

Grizzlies coach Dave. Jogle is the most stressed person on the team other than Gasol Jr., and he believes that Rickard must have studied the Grizzlies thoroughly in the past few days. And the Grizzlies, who just beat the Clippers, don't have much time to study the Trail Blazers.

On May 3, the last day of the Labor Day holiday, Chinese fans finally waited for the start of the second round of the playoffs.

Before the game, almost all the media were unanimously optimistic that the Trail Blazers would be able to win the game. The Grizzlies' defense is indeed strong, but their offense is a big cut behind the Trail Blazers.

In the first game between the two sides, Rickard showed the benefits of his preparation.

Mobility is not strong enough, and this is perhaps the deadliest problem of the "black and white bear". A heavy center forward like Gasol simply can't run like Anjie, and the aging Randolph doesn't have much athleticism.

It is by taking advantage of the weakness of the "black and white two bears" that An Jie did not fight directly with the two bears in the three-second zone today, but frequently mentioned the middle distance to attack the weakness of the two bears.

Gasol pressed up, and An Jie was able to break through easily with his faster speed. If Gasol doesn't press up, Anjie's desperately stable mid-range shot will kill the Grizzlies.

Moreover, with the ball in the middle distance, Randolph is not easy to complete the circle with Gasol. Gasol Jr. could only defend with his own strength, but the effect was not satisfactory.

A few years ago, Gasol Jr. could still play back and forth with Anjie. But now, the gap between him and An Jie is huge.

Gasol Jr. couldn't help but think as he rested on the bench. An Jie's ability, is there no upper limit?

Taking advantage of the Grizzlies' weak mobility, the Trail Blazers' transition offense was impressive.

Lillard's impact made Mike. Conley was at a loss. The Grizzlies' most powerful weapon, the Black and White Bears, was pinned down by Anjie and Aldridge. Lillard doesn't have to worry about falling into the defensive trap of the two bears, as long as he breaks through Conley, what is placed in front of him is a basket that suddenly opens!

Throughout the game, the Grizzlies were led by the nose by the Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies are very good at playing positions, and Ricard will not be grinding with you today.

With a quick offense and a quick counter-attack, today's Trail Blazers show an uncommon side of them. At this time, people knew that the original Trail Blazers played fast-paced basketball, and they would not look rusty at all.

Anjie is not so much an all-round center, but rather an all-round team!

Whether it's positional battles or fast-paced, whether it's defensive or offense-oriented, the Trail Blazers can play it all.

Gasol Jr. and Randolph were exhausted by the Trail Blazers' fast-paced game. Allen was also unable to contribute on the offensive end despite his tight defense.

Mike. Conley played pretty well, he and Lillard went back and forth, and no one wanted to admit defeat. However, with just one Conley, the Grizzlies can't beat the Trail Blazers.

Dave. Joggle always shook his head on the bench, and the gap in strength between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers was not something he could fill with a few tactics.

The Grizzlies still have a long way to go if they want to make the West......

In the end, with Anjie's excellent statistics of 25 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, the Trail Blazers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies at home with a difference of 82-97, 15 points.

No one will be surprised by this result, and the well-prepared Trail Blazers will not be afraid of any team in this league.

1-0, Anjie continued her winning streak in the playoffs. Joggle now has only one wish, not to advance to the younger round, but to try to win a match......
