The Trail Blazers' playoff game with the Clippers was scheduled for the second day after the playoffs began. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yesterday, many Portland fans were already watching the other teams on television. And now, their long-awaited live match is about to start!

Anjie and DeAndre Jordan are all too familiar with this opponent. When the two were still in college, the competition between them attracted much attention.

At that time, DeAndre Jordan was just making his mark in college. And now, he has just secured a starting position with the Clippers.

In an era of declining centers, an interior player like DeAndre Jordan, who is sparse but athletic and physically strong enough to defend and grab rebounds, is enough to kill all sides.

Back then, guys like Jordan Jr. could only be called blue-collar. And now, he is stepping towards stardom.

However, in the face of An Jie, who looks thinner than himself, DeAndre Jordan is still a little nervous. Since the two met, he had never taken advantage of An Jie. A strong body and excellent athleticism alone don't seem to be enough to defeat that Chinese.

Little Jordan doesn't want to compete with Anjie like he did in college. He only hoped that he could do his best to contain the monster's play. Once Angel is fully opened, the Clippers will be very dangerous even with Chris Paul.

Anyone who sees Jordan Jr.'s body will swallow their saliva. This guy looks stronger than Dwight Howard!

But Anjie, standing in front of DeAndrew Jordan now, has a relaxed face. An Jie has never been afraid of a center larger than himself, whether it is O'Neill or Yao Ming, An Jie has bravely confronted them.

Now, this DeAndre Jordan is just a stronger Howard. Whether it is defending or attacking, Anjie is full of confidence in himself.

The referee looked around to make sure everyone was in their rightful place. After that, he threw the basketball high, and although DeAndre Jordan was not as tall as Anjie, he still used his faster bounce speed and higher bounce height to win the basketball a few centimeters ahead of Anjie.

DeAndre Jordan's height just now made everyone sweat. Little Jordan's physical fitness is really better than many historical-level big centers.

Chris Paul unhurriedly advanced with the ball, and under the shouts of the fans at Rose Garden Court to "defend", everyone in the Trail Blazers was ready to see the Clippers' first offense!

Don't look at Griffin and Jordan Jr., two strong guys who often wreak havoc on the basket, and they seem to be very destructive. But the most terrifying person on this Clippers team is actually Paul, who is in possession at the moment!

If the Clippers don't have Paul, there's a good chance they won't be a playoff-caliber team. But it is with this excellent brain that the Clippers can soar and return to the playoffs after 6 years. You know, this is Paul's first season with the Clippers, and what kind of results the Clippers will show after getting better and better is indeed very exciting.

Before Anjie could come to his senses, DeAndre Jordan had already quickly risen to the top position. Little Jordan can be said to have no range and no excellent passing ability. Therefore, there is only one possibility for him to mention the high post, and that is to block Chris Paul who is in possession!

This is one of the most commonly used combinations for the Clippers, and after a season, Jordan Jr.'s pick-and-roll for Paul can't be counted at all. Therefore, when little Jordan came up, Paul was also familiar with the car and started immediately!

However, Anjie's interference made DeAndre Jordan's position very uncomfortable, so don't look at this guy's huge physique, but this time Jordan Jr.'s blocking quality is not high.

If it had been another defender who had made such a terrible pick-and-roll, Felton might have stopped him a long time ago. But this guard of the Clippers is one of the top No. 1 positions in the league!

Although the quality of Jordan Jr.'s blocking and dismantling was not good, Paul still suddenly accelerated and broke through Felton with his own speed!

As soon as Paul broke through, Anjie and Felton immediately chased back behind him, and Aldridge also caught up in front, ready to intercept "Queen Bee" in front.

This guy alone attracted the defense of three people from the Trail Blazers. An Jie can be regarded as a master of chasing risks, but in the face of Chris Paul's speed, An Jie found that he had no chance of being able to defend him at all!

Now, whether Chris Paul's breakthrough can score or not depends entirely on Aldridge's interception.

Paul continued to accelerate, and when there was only one step left between him and Aldridge, he suddenly threw the basketball into the air quickly!

Aldridge reflexively took off and intercepted, only to find that his fingers were a big step away from the basketball that was still rising!

"The ball is crooked!" Although he couldn't stop the ball, Aldridge still secretly applauded in his heart! Judging from the trajectory of the basketball, the ball seemed to be off the basket.

But he didn't know that Chris Paul's original intention in throwing the basketball was not to score. The ball was crooked because Paul had deliberately mispassed.

As soon as Aldridge landed, he saw a figure walk past him. He turned his head in shock, only to see Griffin rising into the air grab the basketball that had just begun to fall, and then dunk it into the basket!

"Beautiful aerial relay cooperation, this is the most common way for Paul and Griffin to connect!The first ball in the opening game, the city of air catches will use their favorite means to drink and take the lead!" "Griffin's dunk is not only as powerful as An Jie, he also has a dunk height that An Jie does not have!

Therefore, Griffin's dunk looks more than one level higher than Anjie's dunk.

Although the goal was scored by Griffin, the defensive holes were not in the two interior players, Anjie and Aldridge.

The reason why the Trail Blazers' defense will be torn apart is because of Chris Paul's sharp knife insertion!

"Felton, you're in big trouble tonight. This time, Anjie didn't say that he would look behind Felton. Because he didn't know if he could keep up with Paul's breakthrough.

Scoring the first point of the game in the form of an aerial relay boosted the morale of all members of the Clippers team. The trailblazer, who claims to be like an impregnable wall of interior defense, is nothing more than that!

Although the Trail Blazers did well during the regular season, there are always a few "regular season teams" every season who don't know how to play when they get to the playoffs. Perhaps, the seemingly fierce pioneers are one of them?

Soon, though, the Clippers players knew what a mistake they had made. To imagine the pioneers as "paper tigers" is really the biggest mistake of their lives!

If the Trail Blazers can't guard Paul and Griffin, the Clippers can guard against Angel and Aldridge?

An Jie admitted that little Jordan is not only physically strong, but also not slow. It's hard to hit back, and it's not good to turn around and break through, An Jie has no choice but to retreat and give up the offensive opportunity to his teammates!

As soon as the ball was handed to Wesley Matthews, Angel immediately stood outside the three-second zone and made a pick-and-roll move.

"Is this guy stupid?" DeAndre Jordan didn't know who else Anjie could block for, and now all but one Aldridge was on the Trail Blazers' sidelines. An Jie is so close to the three-second zone that no one can help.

Just when little Jordan was still laughing at An Jie's basketball IQ in his heart, he found a tall guy flashing in front of his eyes!

With Anjie's pick-and-roll, Aldridge started to shoot. DeAndre Jordan was very aggressive but couldn't interfere before Aldridge could make a move.

"From the pick-and-roll between the interior and the interior, we can see that Ann and Aldridge really know how to attack the basket! When Griffin scored the first goal, Mike Brin knew that Anjie would return the favor.

Unexpectedly, An Jie handed over the responsibility of revenge to Aldridge.

"I'm right, going for a morning jog in the Rose Garden will bring us good luck!" Aldridge gave Anjie a thumbs up to thank him for his assist.

"can actually play this kind of cooperation on the inside line with a small space, these two guys really live up to their reputation. Griffin picked up the basketball on the ground, and he and Aldridge had been following him to death, but because of Anjie's blocking, he allowed Aldridge to get a chance to shoot.

Griffin knew that in the next game, this kind of similar but very difficult to defend tactical combination would be encountered many times.

After the first round of contact, both the Trail Blazers and the Clippers knew that the other side was not a so-called "regular season" team. Their strength is definitely enough to make the playoffs exciting.

2 to 2, both sides played an attack, and both showed the tip of the iceberg of their strength.

Seeing Paul, who came over again after receiving the baseline ball, An Jie patted his arms.

It's just a temptation, and next, it's time for a real fight!

The temptation time is over, and now, it's time for the real battle!
