Chapter 37 : Rebound
“Brook Lopez! Beautiful dunk! The Chinese can’t stop him! The king of Stanford University, Brook is back!” Next to Paul Philips, the ESPN commentator spit into the microphone with passion. Brook Lopez just came back and finished scoring in such a high-profile way. The fans of Stanford University finally found a breaking point after being frustrated for so long.
The taciturn big man, like An Jie, likes to speak with action.
“Good job!” Robin Lopez waved the towel frantically on the bench. He hoped that his brother would give the Asian a little bit of color.
After , Anjie, whose physical strength declined in the Tornado’s offense, did not entangle Brooke directly in the penalty area. He still mentioned a high post to make a wall for his teammates who ran without the ball. But this time Brook ignored the rest of the Tornado team. He stared at An Jie from start to finish. Leaving this Chinese talent out was the biggest threat to the penalty area.
Without An Jie’s assistance, the Tornado’s second team’s offense played very badly. The basketball has been conducting and there is no chance. In the end, the Cyclone’s backup shooting guard C.J. Fortes had to reluctantly shoot before the end of offensive time. The basketball hit the neck of the basket and Stanford got a rebound.
After Brook held the ball with a small step outside the free throw line, other Stanford University players immediately opened up the space.
“Open singles! Oh, generally the people who have the right to use this tactic are outside players, such as Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley, but today we actually saw Stanford University open for the duel of two centers. space.”
Anjie didn’t dare to put him too far, because Brook Lopez’s mid-range shot was also very threatening. Brook Lopez sank his shoulders and took a few probing steps. Without warning, Brook suddenly started rushing towards the restricted area guarded by An Jie. He adjusted his steps so that An Jie couldn’t figure out which direction he would break through.
“Left!?” Anjie saw Brook Lopez shift the ball to his left hand. He also moved his footsteps, preparing to block Brook’s breakthrough route.
With the ball in his left hand protruding to and behind An Jie’s eyes, Brook Lopez suddenly held the ball in both hands and turned to the right. He raised the basketball with one hand to prepare for the layup. An Jie looked at the opportunity and used his feet to force the ball. !
After jumping up, An Jie raised his long arm, almost no shot could exceed this height.
“I won this time.” Anjie was at a total disadvantage in the fight against Brook Lopez, and now he can finally change the situation.
However, Brook did not directly attack the frame as everyone imagined. After An Jie took off, Brook immediately took the ball back, then turned to the left and wiped it from the taking off An Jie. He held the ball in his left hand. Easily put the ball into the basket. In the air, An Jie’s arm was still hanging from Brook’s body. The referee did not hesitate, and hurriedly blew the whistle in his hand.
“Beep! Defensive foul!”
“Beautiful footsteps! Anjie never thought he would be tricked by his usual tricks!” The ESPN commentator was full of praise for Brooke Lopez.
“Ah! Damn it!” An Jie couldn’t believe that he was actually deceived by this trick. This is a trick he often uses to deceive opponents. He has seen a lot of brutal centers, but it is the first time he has met a center like Brooke who likes to play with his brain. This guy is really very similar to himself.
Brook did not show any emotions on his face, he blankly high-five with his teammates, and then walked to the free throw line unhurriedly.
In the past, Anjie was either superior in back technique and basketball IQ, or superior in strength. But today, he met a man whose strength and technology coexist.
“This kid, go back and see how I punish you!” Divac couldn’t accept his disciple being teased like this, and Angel thought of Brook Lopez too simply.
When An Jie was holding the ball in the high post and preparing to break through, he directly ran into Brook, who was clinging to him, and at the moment the two collided, An Jie felt his chest suffocated and panicked. After gritting his teeth and squeezing a little space, An Jie raised his long arm to prepare for the layup, but Brooke pressed An Jie’s body and flew the racket out.
“Another time! An Jie has nothing to fight back in front of Brook Lopez!”
“Suspend the referee.” After seeing Anjie’s performance on the court, Ricard shook his head helplessly. This is the first time he has met an opponent of this level, but he is still playing according to his previous experience. Now he has to take An Jie down, one is to restore An Jie’s physical strength, and the other is to calm An Jie’s mood a little bit.
Anjie lowered his head and walked off the basketball court. He has never failed like this since playing in the NCAA. Anjie couldn’t defend and play offensively on the defensive end. Brook Lopez proved his dominance in the paint.
“It’s okay kid, take a break first.” Ricard did not blame An Jie. What this kid lacks is not the strength, but the experience to deal with such opponents. In the face of Robin Lopez, he was able to use his previous experience to make excellent performances, but Brooke was obviously not able to deal with it by relying on his previous experience.
In previous games, An Jie has come into contact with centers in the Big Twelve League. Although there are some good guys among them, their overall strength is still weak. This is the venue for the March Madness Championship, and the guys here are completely different from those in the Big Twelve League.
After Anjie left the field, Brook Lopez, just like Larry Miles thought, smashed all sides inside. Even Anjie couldn’t prevent him, so the Cyclone team couldn’t find a second person who could stop him.
“Brook turned and dunked!”
“How about CIC!? Hit!”
“Brooke Lopez once again shook the defender away with beautiful steps!”
“Unbelievable performance! As expected of the person who can suppress Kevin Love!”
As for Anjie? No one now thinks of the Chinese who said nothing on the bench. The game has now become a solo performance by Brook Lopez.
“What are you fooling around!” Divac suddenly scolded in Anjie’s ear.
“Don’t lower your head here like a coward, raise your head to me, and observe carefully how that guy Brook plays on the court! After training you for so long, I am not trying to make you crazy in March. Fooled as a stepping stone!”
An Jie was scolded by Divac, and his frustration was wiped out in an instant. He trains so hard every day and takes basketball so seriously. Why is he worse than this guy named Brooke? What that guy did on the court, Anjie was able to do the same in the regular season. He just didn’t know how to deal with opponents of this level. An Jie watched Brook Lopez attentively. If Brooke knew that he was staring at him intently by a big man, his whole body would be hairy.
The game went to the 17th minute of the first half in Brook Lopez’s unscrupulous performance. Brook has led Stanford University to lead the Tornadoes by 10 points on the field. Had it not been for the Tornado’s bench players to spare no effort to smash their opponents, the point difference would have long been more than that.
“I want all five of you to go back and level the score for me before the end of the halftime!” Ricard said and looked at An Jie with his slanted eyes. His performance will directly affect the direction of the game.
“Don’t worry, it was my fault just now. I promise that Brook will be treated as VIP.” An Jie didn’t sit in vain just off the court. He had already recorded every action of Brook in his own. In mind.
“Coach, please let me continue to play later.” Brook knows that what the Tornado likes most is to launch an onslaught at the last minute. He must face the big Chinese man on the court.
Larry Miles saw that Brooke was not physically exhausted, so he agreed to the request to leave the station. Now it’s all right, the starting five of the two sides are all back on the court, continuing the abruptly ended duel just now.
“What kind of brother, that guy was blown out by the media.” The proud Robin seems to have forgotten how he was scored in the penalty area by An Jie on the court just now.
“No, he didn’t show his strength just now. If it weren’t for worrying about him, I wouldn’t play at all now!” Brook Lopez’s caution was also one of the reasons why Angel was suppressed in the first place.
“Ann, how about we continue to change positions later, you go to the point of Robin Lopez.” Assakin pulled Anjie’s jersey before going on the court.
“No need, buddy, Robin will leave it to you, I can’t always hide behind you like this.” Anjie smiled and rejected Assakin’s proposal.
“You…” Asakin didn’t distrust An Jie’s strength, it’s just that An Jie’s performance on the court just before everyone’s eyes.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let that guy do whatever he wants.”
“Damn you kid, what were you doing just now!? If I can’t play again, I’ll knock you with a walking stick!” Morris felt that An Jie who was on the court just now didn’t know him at all, no matter Whoever the opponent is, he believes that his partner can help him.
The first offense that came back from a timeout, Anjie quickly entered the penalty area and began to compete with Brook Lopez. In the push between the two sides, Anjie struggled to get a gap to catch the ball. Mike Taylor saw the opportunity to feed the ball accurately to Anjie.
“So active?” Even though Brooke had completely suppressed An Jie just now, he still didn’t underestimate the enemy at all.
An Jie pushed his back to the basket, but under Brook’s full prevention, An Jie did not enter the three-second zone as expected. Seeing that the road was blocked, An Jie leaned on Brook and shook his upper body continuously. Brook did not dare to slack off, and held An Jie’s waist without leaving.
An Jie suddenly took a step to the left, and Brook immediately followed, preparing to put his chest against An Jie’s shoulder to prevent him from breaking through.
Xu Huang! ? An Jie’s body only turned halfway, and he suddenly took the ball back into his arms and took a step back in the opposite direction. Afterwards, An Jie jumped on one foot, his body even tilted a little.
“This action! Reminds us of the German’s retreat jumper!” The commentators all stared, and a 2.19 meter big man made such a smooth and soft movement, they really did not expect it.
Because An Jie’s body leaned back a little, and Brook was a little shaken by An Jie’s fake action just now, Brooke did not complete the block well in this ball.
Anjie stretched out his body as much as possible in the air, and threw the ball in the most comfortable posture.
“This idiot!” Robin took it for granted that his brother would be able to complete the defense very well He is now staring at the rim intently, just waiting to grab the rebound.
But the basketball didn’t pop out of the basket as Robin thought. An Jie’s shot didn’t even touch the ring. The orange ball kept spinning in the air, and finally fell into the empty net accurately.
“Is this Dirk Lowitzki’s step-back jumper!? Who will explain to me!? Has Anjie ever used this action before!?” The moment the basketball hits the frame, even the picky ESPN The narrator also had to be impressed by this wonderful goal.
Actually, Anjie’s action is far from that of Lovesky. His action is much simpler than that of Lovesky’s Golden Rooster retreating independently. Only in order to get rid of Brooke’s defense, Anjie had to lean back slightly while taking off on one foot. It’s just that An Jie’s series of actions from dangling to shooting are completed very smoothly, which makes people feel that this action is so pleasing to the eye.
“That’s right kid.” Brook was not upset by the loss of the ball. Instead, he was glad in his heart that he had not made a mistake in his judgment of the Chinese.
After seeing An Jie’s performance, Divac finally lifted Erlang’s legs easily again. “Show all your comprehensive back skills to this group of guys!”
“An Jie finally responded! The Chinese refused to accept failure so early! Audience friends, I suggest you all not leave the TV for a moment. I have a hunch that sparks will be sparked between these two super centers!” Philips saw After An Jie’s wonderful performance, he finally came to his spirits. An Jie, who changed his decay, made all the fans of the Tornado team crazy.
