Chapter 809: The X Factor

"That's amazing!" Seeing the Rockets score points on the head of the Trail Blazers, who are excellent defensively, in less than seven seconds, even Ricard had to sigh.

"The Rockets are playing fast, and we have to take the initiative to press the tempo. Otherwise, sooner or later, D'Antoni will lead him by the nose. Divac began to discuss with Ricard.

"Pressing the rhythm? As long as Chris. Paul can rush up, we can never beat the rhythm! Rarely, do you want that kid Napier to contain Paul completely? Damn the injury! Rickard cursed, it would have been much easier if Lillard had been there.

"Then let Team Rocket run away?"

"Don't worry Vlad, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Let's see, we'll always have a way. Ricard stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, and today, the ruffian coach could no longer sit on the bench and his legs.

"It's okay, it's okay! We're just going to get it back, it's just a ball, it's nothing! When the Rockets successfully scored with an extremely beautiful run-and-bomb play, An Jie also shouted to cheer for his teammates.

The Rockets' offense just now was really exciting, but Anjie didn't want his teammates to lose confidence as soon as they came up.

After being encouraged, Napier was able to control the ball calmly in front of him, but just after halftime, Napier began to panic a little after seeing Paul pressing.

"Ball!" Just when the panicked Napier was still thinking about how to fight this tactic, An Jie's roar came into his ears.

Napier didn't hesitate, if Anjie called the pass, then pass the ball directly to him, it must be right!

Anjie received a pass from Napier from outside the three-point line, and Swiss center Capela had to run with open arms to the defensive area where he was not good at it.

After that, all found out. The position where Anjie is standing now is the same position as the tactical Napier. In other words, An Jie has now taken over the ball and intends to be the No. 1 position to organize the attack!

Seeing this, everyone on the Trail Blazers immediately began to run according to the tactics. The whole system of the Trail Blazers was immediately running, and the whole offense was starting to get on track!

An Jie saw that except for Capella, he was completely emptied. So he decided that he wanted to play this ball by himself!

Anjie began to dribble with one hand like a defender and direct his teammates to run with the other. Capela stared at the front intently, but An Jie was not afraid of this Swiss at all, he would definitely be shaken later!

Capela's biggest problem with the big black man is his questionable basketball IQ. This guy can't read the game very well, and his defense is basically slightly poor, he eats more on his body, and he is easily shaken by the opponent's dribble.

Unfortunately, the one standing in front of Capela at the moment and ready to attack is perhaps the most dribbling center on the planet!

An Jie began to lower his center of gravity and dribble alternately with his left and right hands. Capela also had to keep his center of gravity low, but such a defensive stance made Capela, who was used to interior defense, very unaccustomed.

Just when the distance between the two sides was shortening, An Jie suddenly paused, and then immediately changed direction and stabbed towards Capela's left!

"Beautiful dribbling movements, it's hard to imagine that Ann is actually a center forward with a height of 2.19 meters! Just like back then, it's hard to imagine that a guy with a tall arm like Durant can dribble the ball. ”

In Jeff. Under Van Gundy's exclamation, Capela tried his best to change his center of gravity and leaned towards Angel.

Although Capela's movements are very embarrassing, it seems that he can really prevent An Jie from breaking through!

"It's a mess!" D'Antoni looked at the field proudly, this time, Capela successfully completed the defense!

At the moment when An Jie and Capela made physical contact, just when everyone thought that An Jie's breakthrough was over.

An Jie, who had just completed the breakthrough of changing direction, leaned on Capela again, took him as the axis, and turned to the right!

Angel's superb pace and dribbling made D'Antoni grow his mouth. And what about Capella? He had just changed his center of gravity to the left, only to feel a gust of wind blowing, and then An Jie disappeared.

"Nice follow-up! When everyone thought that Ann's breakthrough had failed, he broke all doubts with a beautiful turn! This is the first person in the alliance! The first person in the alliance will not fail so easily! ”

With the cheers of the fans, Anjie jumped high after stepping into the free throw line. Ryan. Anderson didn't dare to step forward to stop him, he didn't want to be the background of An Jie's tyranny.

In this unhindered situation, An Jie stretched his body in the air, and after gliding for a distance, he smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"Tomahawk clasp! Ann brings out the aesthetics of violence to the fullest! Look at this trembling hoop, this is Ryan. The reason why Anderson didn't dare to step forward and obstruct it! ”

An Jie dunked, landed, beat his chest, and roared. The fans inside the Moda Center raised their arms and shouted along with their king.

Paul even felt that the whole basketball court was trembling in this frenetic atmosphere. Anjie's guy is still as difficult to deal with as ever!

Anjie's goal was not just as simple as giving the Trail Blazers two points. The improvement of the morale of his teammates is what Anjie hopes for the most.

The enthusiasm and passion of all the players were awakened by Anjie's attack just now. Chris. Paul was the first to feel the change, and now he wants to take the ball to the three-point line in a way that isn't as easy as it was just now.

Although Napier still couldn't force Paul to make a mistake, he couldn't stop Paul from pushing completely. But as long as the opponent feels uncomfortable in the attack, then Napier can be considered a success.

This time, the sight of the Rockets completing the offense in seven seconds did not reappear. The Trail Blazers' defense is very tight, and whether you're Paul or Capela, everyone gets close pressing.

No matter how good Paul's pass is, it is impossible to pass the ball without any gaps. The Rockets' tactics failed to play, so they had to rely on the individual abilities of the stars to solve them.

Finally, although James. Harden still relied on his superb skills to score two points on George's head with a step-back jumper. But D'Antoni knows that if the Rockets continue to play like this, the ending will definitely not be good!

"See, Vlad, there are some things that we don't have to worry about at all." Watching Anjie make a big difference in the team's form with just one attack, Ricard laughed proudly.

In the following game, the two sides attacked and defended each other. An Jie's cameo appearance in the No. 1 position made the Rockets helpless. And the Rockets' fast running and bombing did put a lot of pressure on the Trail Blazers.

Overall, though, under the tight defense of the Trail Blazers, Anjie still had the upper hand at home.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers temporarily led the Rockets by five points, 20-25.

D'Antoni is already a little flustered at the moment, the five-point gap is not too big, but if the opponent is the Trail Blazers and the battlefield is still the Moda Center, then everything is different.

The Trail Blazers are notoriously difficult to chase points, and they are also notoriously able to widen the gap. Their defense and transition offense will make it possible for you to fall behind by double digits if you're not paying attention.

During this break, D'Antoni appeared to be particularly busy. On the Trail Blazers' side, everything went according to plan.

The second quarter of the game came quickly, and the second quarter of the game had just begun, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV and now watching the game cheered again.

This time it's not because An Jie scored another incredible goal, in fact, An Jie is sitting on the bench now and hasn't played yet.

The reason why the Chinese fans cheered was because another Chinese player, Zhou Qi, was dressed in the field at the beginning of the second quarter!

"That kid from your country won't cause us much trouble." Seeing Zhou Qi, who is also tall and long-armed, stepped into the court, Iguodala couldn't help but elbow and poke An Jie beside him.

"I can't say for sure, Andrey. Zhou's kid is an X-factor. An Jie began to look at the court seriously, from the perspective of the Trail Blazers, of course he didn't want Zhou Qi to play too well. But from the perspective of a Chinese player, An Jie hopes that Zhou Qi can play a good performance.

At this time, An Jie was really contradictory, that is, under this contradictory psychology, the battle between the two sides in the second quarter of the game officially began.

In the first attack at the beginning, Zhou Qi and Eric . Gordon completed a pick-and-roll fit that was quite high-quality.

The latter went straight to the basket through the pick-and-roll, and Nurkic, who was slightly slower, didn't have time to make up for it, and the Rockets recovered two points.

In the second attack, Zhou Qi and Gordon repeated their old tricks. It's just that this time, Gordon didn't attack the frame himself after bypassing the block, but suddenly split the ball and passed the basketball to Zhou Qi, who was unmarked outside the three-point line.

Zhou Qi did not hesitate and opened his hand outside the three-point line to shoot. This may be the reason why D'Antoni likes Zhou Qi, the range of this Chinese kid is very suitable for the Rockets' shelling style.

Meyers. Leonard's interference was still a step late, Zhou Qi was not affected in any way, and the three-point shot also went directly into the net.

In just two rounds of the opening game, the Rockets equalized the score, and the way of scoring both goals was completed by Zhou Qi and Gordon using blocking.

Ricard looked at An Jie, and it was obvious that he wanted to ask An Jie why he hadn't warned Zhou Qi earlier that he would be so threatening.

But An Jie just spread his hands innocently, he said, Zhou Qi is an X factor. It doesn't matter if he can't play, D'Antoni has someone who can be replaced. But once it is played, it will not be very beneficial for the Trail Blazers.

After the Trail Blazers' offense, Evan Brown. Turner's breakthrough layup was blocked by Zhou Qi. After the Rockets attacked, Zhou Qi received a pass from Gordon under the basket and made a strong layup.

Although the emaciated Zhou Qi was directly knocked to the ground by Nurkic, the basketball still fell into the net by magic, and Zhou Qi got a chance to play three points!

After standing on the free throw line, Zhou Qi, who had a soft hand, did not disappoint his teammates. This guy scored the ball steadily and hit a three-point shot!

The fans of the Trail Blazers are all stunned at this time, is it possible to become a Moda Center, is it really a blessed land for Chinese players?

"Your compatriot is in good shape today!" Rickard didn't expect Zhou Qi to be a threat before the start of the game, and his appearance actually allowed the Rockets to overtake the score.

This guy has always been short-lived during the regular season, but Ricard didn't expect that this time, the flowers would bloom at the Moda Center.

"Don't worry, Zhou Qi is still too young, he can't change the situation. After the dead ball later, I'll defend him myself! Angel smiled at Ricard and walked to the technical desk to register for the game.

Chinese Derby? Since I played against Yao Ming in my rookie season, I really haven't met him again.

An Jie became excited, and after playing later, whether Zhou Qi was his compatriot or not, An Jie would not be relenting......
