The Way of the Center

Chapter 85 : The Stinger of the “Queen Bee”

At the end of the game, the Tornado team won by seven points from the powerful enemy Kansas University. Morris was panting in the locker room, and a year’s delay made his physical fitness a problem. Now everyone is going to the shower room to sweat, but Morris is still sitting in front of his cabinet to rest.

Today Morris still got the chance to start, and he did not live up to Ricard’s trust. With 13 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, this gorgeous data has improved his position in the draft prediction rankings.

During the break, Morris seemed to remember something suddenly. He hurriedly opened the cabinet and found out his mobile phone, and couldn’t wait to enter the official website of the NBA.

“10 points and 9 rebounds, that’s not bad.” Morris smiled comfortedly, it seems that the long distance was not in vain.

“55 to 50? Isn’t it possible!? This is just the stats that Anjie got in halftime!?” But when Morris saw the score of the two teams, his eyes widened in surprise.

There are not a few people who have the same reaction as Morris. Many Chinese fans who read the news on their mobile phones thought that the whole game was over after seeing Anjie’s data. They didn’t realize that the game was only discovered when they turned on the TV or computer. It’s just that one half has just been played.

An Jie almost got a double-double in just one half. For a player who has been out of sight for nearly half a month, this performance is enough to surprise everyone.

“Hey big bull, are you still going?” Anthony Ben patted Morris on the shoulder, which made Morris come back to his senses.

“You go first, I’ll take a rest.” After everyone was gone, Morris was still sitting in the locker room alone. He wanted to see how Anjie played today.

“How you just played, you will continue to play in the second half! The Hornets are almost out of control, we can win the game as long as we keep the momentum!” Kalesimo didn’t know how to arrange it, he was afraid that he would make adjustments The Thunder’s performance will plummet again, so he simply let the players play freely.

“Ann! You continued to defend West in the second half. You have done well so far. Keep working hard!” Finally, Carlesimo did not say Durant and Westbrook in the locker room this time. An unprecedented public praise for An Jie’s performance.

“Hmm.” Unexpectedly, An Jie just answered him coldly.

Calesimo can now take care of the authority of the coach. After the 24 minutes of the game, if Calesimo is not the coach of the Thunder, it will be another matter.

The fifteen-minute rest time passed in an instant. When the Thunder came out of the player channel again, the cheers of the Chesapeake Energy Arena were twice as loud as they were in the first half!

Anjie, Westbrook and Durant once again served as the starters of the second half. Seeing Anjie’s focused eyes, Chandler actually felt pressure on his shoulders.

The last time Anjie made a red eye on the basketball court, it was during the NCAA regular season last year, in order to give Morris a gift. The cool Kufus, unfortunately became a funerary.

And today, because of Morris, Anjie continues to kill in the NBA.

Tyson Chandler originally thought that facing the inside of the Thunder, his defensive task today would not be too heavy. I don’t know how this Chinese who suddenly appeared has caused such a big trouble to myself.

It’s a CIC and a hook, it’s a breakthrough and a footstep. An Jie always came up with something different every time he attacked, and Chandler also couldn’t guess how An Jie would use his next attack. There are very few centers in the league with such a wealth of offensive methods, and there are not many in a season. He didn’t expect that he would run into one of them in the Thunder.

“Tyson Chandler fouled again! He should not go to the referee to complain, but should be thankful that he was not beaten by An Jie to two plus one!” ESPN’s commentary has been conquered by An Jie’s excellent performance.

“Kevin Durant handed the ball to Anjay for the third time. Have you ever seen Durant play like this? Have you ever seen the Thunder rely on someone other than Durant to carry the banner of offense? Anjay Let this happen!”

“Westbrook’s three-pointer! It’s short, what a pity! Huh? An Jie’s offensive rebound! Dunk, beautiful!”

For a time, An Jie occupies most of the possession of the Thunder team, and the most mentioned name of all the commentators is also An Jie. Of course, Tyson Chandler’s name has not been under-mentioned, but when his name is mentioned, it is generally not a good thing to say.

The more defenses get worse, Chandler is getting more and more anxious. The more anxious he got, the easier it was for him to fall into Anjie’s fake actions.

And in order to guard against Westbrook and Durant’s breakthrough, Chandler sometimes had to move his defensive position forward. In this way, Anjie can get the opportunity to grab offensive rebounds. Near the end of the third quarter, An Jie has grabbed three offensive rebounds, and two of them, An Jie directly converted the rebounds into points.

Anjie alone upset the Hornets’ proud inside defense, so that Durant and Westbrook face a lot less defensive pressure. The Thunder’s three masters are all showing up, which makes it more and more difficult for the Hornets to stay ahead.

It’s just that everyone needs a rest. The combination of the rotation lineup and the playing time are also a science that determines the direction of the game. At this point, the Hornets coach Byron Scott is obviously going to do better than Carlesimo.

He replaced West and Paul just halfway through the third quarter. Anyway, Peja Stankovic and Foye can guarantee the team’s offensive firepower.

Of course, the aging Peja and the well-performed Foye can’t compete with the full-fire three minors. The Hornets fell behind by as much as eight points at that time. But Byron Scott is not in a hurry. He does not believe that Kalesimo does not change. Even if Kalesimo does not change, he does not believe that the three children can maintain high efficiency despite heavy physical exertion. which performed.

Sure enough, the three people who hadn’t had a one-minute rest from the beginning of the third quarter were replaced by Calesimo when there were three minutes left in the game. Kalesimo knew that his job was now in the hands of these three young people, and he didn’t want to have no one available at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

Seeing Callesimo’s substitution, Byron Scott waved his hand and brought Paul and West who had been full of energy. He knew that these two guys had long been suffocated off the court.

Facing the Thunder’s second team, the offensive cooperation between Paul and West played very well. Whether it’s Paul’s independent offense after West gave Paul a pick and roll, or Paul’s wonderful singles after passing West in seconds, the Thunder’s substitute players have no choice but to take these two men.

In just three minutes, under the leadership of Paul and West, the Hornets not only tied the score, but also surpassed by four points before the end of the third quarter.

An Jie was gritted his teeth and watched the advantage he had built up so hard to be squandered. Who would be happy?

So in the fourth quarter, West found that the Chinese behind him was even more powerful!

“This guy! Someone is still energetic in the fourth quarter!” West has already shot four times under Anjie’s tough defense, but only hit one of them. Not only is it tough, but An Jie’s small secret moves have also largely disrupted West’s offensive rhythm.

not only limited West, Anjie’s defensive role in the penalty area is comprehensive. Chris Paul was a little jealous when he broke through, and even Tyson Chandler was disturbed by Angel when he attacked.

In an offense, he received a second pass from Paul and watched the empty basket Chandler jumped and planned to dunk. Unexpectedly, An Jie rushed over quickly and fanned Chandler’s powerful dunk outside the three-point line.

The perfect performance on both ends of the offense and defense, when the Thunder team is defensive, the fans are not shouting “Defense!”, but shouting “Ann!”

Anjie strangled the Hornets’ inside offense and saw that they couldn’t rely on passing to open up the situation. Chris Paul also opened the scoring mode.

Westbrook did not show off the defensive performance like Anjie, Paul’s outbreak in the fourth quarter was unexpected to everyone, including other players in the Hornets.

When guards like Paul have turned on the scoring mode, it only shows that this team is truly in desperation. And the person who pushed this team into desperation was that Anjie, who had only scored five points in the first nine games!

The Hornets and Oklahoma City played in this way until the last twenty seconds, and the two sides tied 105 at this time. The Thunder scored in triple figures for the first time after those nine games!

The last defense! An Jie opened his arms and guarded the inside line fiercely!

Westbrook is waiting, Paul in front of him is basically certain to be the terminator of the Hornets’ final attack.

Paul first squeezed time three or four steps away from the three-point line. Even if the goal didn’t make the Hornets, he could score overtime. He didn’t dare to risk even a few seconds of offensive time for the Thunder.

ten seconds! it’s time!

Paul pushed forward, West and Chandler immediately came up to play double screens!

Peja and Foye reached the two bottom corners, and both of them were full of threats, so Durant and Mason naturally did not dare to give them a half step.

Paul swiftly drilled from Chandler’s side and got rid of Westbrook. Should he break through or shoot!

An Jie immediately crossed in front of Paul. Paul never feared the defense of a tall defender, but today he actually felt a great sense of oppression from An Jie!

Paul continued to push forward, and Anjie couldn’t be compared with this queen bee no matter how fast An Jie walked.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Westbrook is wrapped up. Paul must immediately end the offense. Once the Thunder team’s double-teaming is completed, he will not get a little shot space.

His toes were just about to touch the three-point line, and Paul suddenly stopped shooting!

Anjie didn’t expect Paul to be so bold. He reacted a bit slower, but it was still timely.

Facing An Jie’s resistance, Paul had to increase the arc of his three-pointer. Now that the players have done everything they can, Anjie immediately turned around and looked at the basketball that decided the outcome.

The arc of the basketball is very high, even so high that it is beyond the normal range. In the eyes of old shooter Peja, this arc of three-pointers is almost impossible to hit.

However, the role of superstars is to make the impossible possible. Before the basketball entered the rim, the red light on the backboard was already on, and the basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced.

The Thunder fans were all ready to stand up and cheer, but the basketball bounced from and fell into the net in the next second.

“Chris! Paul! Paul! Paul! Paul! The queen bee saved the team!” The ESPN commentator jumped from the commentary stand excitedly. No matter how many times this kind of lore happens, it can always be the most exciting moment on the basketball court.

Paul raised his arms, enjoying the boos given to him by Chesapeake Energy Arena fans, and enjoying the thrill of victory brought by his teammates hugging him around.

Anjie unwillingly picked up the basketball and slammed it to the ground, and the basketball also played Lao Gao. This scene, naturally, could not escape the eyes of reporters.

Presti, who was sitting in the box, looked profusely, but the air conditioner in the box was actually working normally. The temperature that made him sweat came from the frenetic arena.

After seeing the result, Presti quickly took a sip of the red wine, trying to calm himself down. This is the charm of basketball, isn’t it?

The team lost again, Carlesimo really gave him a ten-game losing streak, but Presti is not particularly sad at the moment. why? Because as he and Calesimo had said, if this game was lost, Calesimo had to leave.

Presti glanced at the auditorium. The man in the black suit was no longer there. He must have come to his office now.

“Don’t worry, lads, next time, the winner will be you.” Looking at the three rookies below who are somewhat lost, Presti is ready to formally finalize the contract for the team’s new coach.
