The way of the center

Chapter 799

The San Antonio Spurs lead the Warriors 2-1 and the Portland Trail Blazers lead the Thunder 2-1.Fans haven't seen such a score for a long time.

In the past two years, the strength gap between teams has become wider and wider.Teams with the strength to win the championship often do not encounter too many obstacles in the first few rounds of the playoffs.Sweeping was the most common situation in those two years.

But now, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will definitely be very happy.Because the strong teams in the West are no longer one or two, but a bunch!With more strong teams, the series will naturally be played longer.

The longer the series, the more games there will be in the playoffs.And the more games played in the playoffs, the higher the league's income!

In the East, fans can only look forward to the battle between the Cavaliers and Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.On the west side, the game has only reached the semifinal stage, and it has become extremely fierce.

"Let's take a look at yesterday's NBA battle report. The familiar Ann scored 49 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks in the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder yesterday, helping the team defeat the Thunder, thus A total score of 2 to 1 lead. After losing to the Thunder in the previous game, we were surprised that the Trail Blazers could play such a good performance. Now the Thunder and the Trail Blazers have played inextricably. If the Thunder To regain control, we have to tie the series. Tomorrow night, at Chesapeake Energy Arena, will be very important for the Thunder."

Before the host finished speaking, An Jie suddenly turned off the TV.Westbrook and Anthony are far more miraculous than the media reported.

Just when An Jie was thinking in the room alone, his cell phone suddenly rang.An Jie saw that it was his wife.

"Hey baby, I said I'll call you right away." An Jie connected the video, and Catherine "appeared" in front of his eyes immediately.

"Why are you alone? Where's Morris?" Catherine looked around, only An Jie was alone.But he knows that players usually stay in a room of two when they play away games.

"That guy went to George's room to play poker with them. After winning a game in Oklahoma, everyone is pretty relaxed now." An Jie is not a person who likes to play cards, so he is alone Stay in the room and think about things.

"Hey, take a look. These are the new shoes I bought for Xiao Ke. How are they, cute?" As she spoke, Catherine shook a pair of small basketball shoes in front of the camera.

"Oh, my God. My son must look good in clothes, but you have a good eye." I don't know why, now An Jie and Catherine can't help laughing whenever they talk about their parents' troubles, and there is always a sense of happiness pregnancy.

Family, this word has always been around Anjie.But since Anjie decided to play in the NCAA until now, from the age of 18 to the age of 29.How much time does An Jie spend with his family each year?
He now not only has a big family, but also a complete small family of his own.An Jie is no longer like before, throwing himself in the training ground to train crazily whenever he has time.Instead, I will spend more time with my family.

But even so, An Jie spent too little time with his family.

On An An's birthday, An Jie only passed it by his side once.An Jie couldn't remember how many years he hadn't spent together on Catherine's birthday.Except for the more than one month in summer every year, An Jie hardly has a stable time at home.After all, even in the offseason, Anjie still has a lot of things to do.

No, when summer is coming and clothes are about to change seasons.Anjie could only admire the shoes his wife chose for his son in the hotel in Oklahoma, but could not participate in it himself.

"Ann? What's wrong with you!?" Catherine's yelling reached An Jie's ears through the loudspeaker of the phone.An Jie, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and smiled at Catherine.

"I miss you."

"what?"

"I miss you and my son, Catherine. I just want to end all this quickly and return to you." An Jie looked at his wife in the video, and unconsciously, she had also become a mature woman. What about the woman.

An Jie didn't want to wait until they could enjoy life, but they were already old.

"Ann, shouldn't you tell me about your game now?" Catherine was a little surprised, but she was very happy inside.

"I just want to be at home with you guys right now, and then we'll go to open a diving shop by the beach in Spain. Then...then I'll never be separated from you again." An Jie began to look forward to his future life, and began to look forward to those future Maybe life without basketball.

"Hey, I'm waiting for you, Ann. Retire after winning three more championships, that's what you said. I don't care if you are 32 or 42 years old, I will wait for you."

"Don't worry, Catherine, I won't keep you waiting. This year, I'm going to get the first one!" Anjie pointed out a finger. Although it was just an ordinary family conversation, Catherine knew that her husband had never Not a big unprepared battle.

Scored a large double-double and sent 7 blocks in the last game?Maybe it's just a prelude.More violent storms are yet to come.

"Ann was double-teamed! His passing lane was completely blocked! However... this guy actually turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper under double-teaming. Now, two big hands are sealed on Ann's face! This is definitely not A good choice, Ann should be more patient and wait for the Thunder to make a mistake! This goal should not be so beautiful! The goal is scored! God! Facing the interference of Adams and Taj Gibson at the same time, Ann still managed to pass the ball Score! Can someone explain to me, what is the function of the double team!? On An, the function of the double team is to give him a double background!" Mike Brinben was shaking his head, for An Jie's Sigh impatiently.But a second later, the guy stood up abruptly, yelled into the microphone, and spread his passionate voice all over the United States.

At first, he thought that An Jie chose to attack because of impatience when he was desperate, but only he knew that An Jie did it because of self-confidence!
"What can I say? Ann's fadeaway jumper is perfect! Just like Kobe back then, his fadeaway jumper is unmatched. Now, this kind of situation where two people are defending and still scoring goals , but transferred to Ann! The Thunder team looks very hit, I think they may be beaten to death, and Anjie will play explosive performances in two consecutive games!" Jeff Van Gundy no longer knows how to describe just now. Jay scored that goal, and he can only compare it with a retired legend—Kobe Bryant.

"You're kidding! Fuck!" On the field, Carmelo Anthony couldn't help cursing secretly.Anjie's incredible goal just now gave the Trail Blazers the lead once again.

本场比赛，安东尼和韦斯特布鲁克的表现都十分出色。安东尼已经以45%的命中率砍下了18分，而韦斯特布鲁克也用6投4中的三分球命中率得到了24分。再加上奥拉迪波回光返照式的20分，雷霆队现在本应该取得领先才对。

However, all this changed because of An Jie's appearance.The Trail Blazers not only surpassed by two points again, but also had an advantage in momentum.

Westbrook frowned, he won't give up!Anyway, the Thunder can't lose two home games in a row.There are still 3 minutes left in the game, and they still have time to change everything.Now it's up to An Jie to let them succeed!

The Thunder attacked again, and Westbrook was obviously looking for opportunities on the outside.After all, today he felt hot from beyond the three-point line.

But Napier, who was encouraged by Anjie, entangled Westbrook very uncomfortable this time.Napier is not strong enough, but his enthusiasm makes up for his disadvantages.

In the end, under Napier's tireless follow-up defense, Westbrook's three-pointer knocked out.Anjie held Adams' dark elbow, took off vigorously, and protected the rebound.

After taking the rebound, An Jie didn't forget to twist his waist protectively, and returned a dark elbow to Adams.

Adams was beaten so hard that he couldn't tell, so he had to endure it.So tens of seconds later, Adams, who couldn't control his emotions, gave Anjie a 2+1 gift on the defensive end.

The already precarious Thunder team suffered another blow, and completely lost their rhythm.

After that, the Thunder's offense became more and more chaotic.The Trail Blazers continued to make steady progress under the leadership of Anjie.

In the end, Anjie led the Trail Blazers to a 50-15 victory at the Chesapeake Energy Arena with 9 points, 120 rebounds and 111 assists.It is worth mentioning that only three people in NBA history have scored 50 or more points in the playoffs.And the last person to do this was Westbrook last year!

在2017年4月19日，去年季后赛首轮面对火箭时。韦斯特布鲁克曾经43投17中，三分球11投2中，罚球18罚15中，贡献了51分10篮板13助攻的三双成绩。但比赛结果却是火箭以115-111的比分战胜了雷霆。

Today, Anjie's statistics are equally dazzling.Unlike Westbrook, Anjie scored 50 points more efficiently, and Anjie's team also achieved the final victory.

Looking at Anjie's personal data and the final score of the two teams, Westbrook must have mixed feelings in his heart.This guy, why can he always overwhelm himself?

After the game, the reporters also began to ask questions about why Anjie broke out with a historic performance.An Jie's answer was so simple that the reporters even thought it was a pun.

"Why? I just want to go home, that's all." This was An Jie's answer to the reporters' questioning.

Everyone is thinking hard. Once, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was also Anjie's home.Could this sentence be expressing something?

Seeing the woebegone expressions of the reporters, An Jie couldn't help smiling.I just really want to go home
3 to 1, the Thunder have been pushed to the brink.Unless Westbrook and Anthony can break out consecutively in the next game.Otherwise, An Jie would have pushed them completely into the bottomless abyss.
