The Way of the Center

"Hello everyone, audience friends, welcome to tnt TV. I’m Kenny Smith. The two sitting next to me are Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller. Today we are coming for everyone from the NBA rookie Oklahoma City Thunder. The game against the San Antonio Spurs." A very familiar opening remark, the nationwide live broadcast officially begins!

　　 "Charles, what are you watching?" Kenny Smith discovered that Barkley had been playing on his mobile phone since the live broadcast. This is also the characteristic of the TNT commentary trio. They are never serious, but the audience loves this set.

　　 "Don't quarrel with Kenny, the game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys is going on fiercely, but I placed a bet to buy the Cowboys to win." Barkley was talking about a football game.

　　 "Charles, the live broadcast has already started." Kenny Smith looked at Barkley, who was focused on the phone with contempt.

　　 "Oh! Hey! Hello everyone! This is Charles Barkley. Today we are bringing the Spurs and who are we with?" Barkley looked at his partner with a confused expression.

　　 "Oklahoma City Thunder." Kenny Smith really has a headache, why is this kind of guy so popular.

　　 "That's right! The Spurs vs. Thunder game! Reggie, don't you say something!?" Barkley pointed to his cell phone and said he had to watch the football game, and asked Reggie Miller to pick him up.

　　 "We all know that the three rookies of the Thunder have been in the limelight recently. Among them, their Chinese center An Jie has frequently played quasi triple-doubles." Miller also spoke of An Jie badly.

　　 "Don't mention Chinese center Reggie. I'm not afraid of him. There is only one Yao Ming in this league." Barkley still looked at his phone like no one else.

　　 "Aren't you afraid of him? So what do you dare to bet on?"

　　 "If this Anjie can score 20 in a game, etc., did you just say that he got the quasi triple-double data many times?" Barkley snatched the information in Miller's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Okay, I won't bet anymore." Barkley smiled awkwardly after reading it. If someone else explained that way, maybe he would have been fired long ago, but this is Charles Barkley, and this is what fans are more willing to watch tnt. The reason lies.

　　 The fans were amused by Barkley's nonsensical commentary, but Anjie felt uncomfortable when he warmed up on the court. The Spurs big man in the No. 21 jersey always stares at himself from time to time without any expression on his face. A big man stares at himself fascinatingly, a normal person will feel that his heart is hairy.

　　 "Hey, did he do anything to you when he played against Tim last season?" An Jie elbows the team power forward Chris Wilcox.

　　 "It's nothing? Why, are you afraid of being eaten by that guy?" Wilcox looked at Duncan, and Duncan looked at them blankly.

　　 Suddenly, Duncan looked at them and laughed! Such a smile didn't make people feel friendly at all, and the terrifying expression of this grin made Anjie and Wilcox goosebumps all over their bodies. It's no wonder that Duncan was given a technical foul by the bald referee Crawford because he laughed on the bench last season. No one can bear such a grinning smile.

　　 Duncan is expressionless most of the time, but once he makes an expression, it is definitely powerful.

　　 "Are you pretending to be an ogre again?" The Frenchman Tony Parker just saw everything in his eyes.

　　 "Haha, that Chinese rookie seems to be scared." After being disturbed by Duncan's "Allure Smile", Anjie failed to make two consecutive shots afterwards.

　　 With more and more enthusiastic cheers from the fans, Anjie and Bonner finally stood in the middle circle and the game began!

　　 Undoubtedly, facing Bonner, Anjie easily won the first strike for the Thunder. An Jie was also fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, he was facing this white center. If he faced Duncan, God knew what expression he would make.

　　 Westbrook dribbled the ball to the Spurs half, and the French sports car immediately posted it. It may not be difficult for Westbrook to break through Parker, but he knows that the Spurs' overall defense is the most terrifying.

　　 beckoned to An Jie for a pick-and-roll, and Westbrook easily got inside.

　　"This zero

The number guard is really fast! The pick-and-roll quality of that Chinese center is even better! "Weiqi had to admit that as first-year students, the abilities of these two children are indeed outstanding.

　　 After Westbrook broke through, Duncan immediately blocked his way, and Spurs small forward Mike Finley stood accurately on the route Westbrook passed to Durant. Westbrook only broke through for the first time and was rounded up!

　　 pass back? Anjie was too far from the basket, and Bonner was very defensive. Reluctantly, Westbrook can only pass the ball to Damien Wilkins, who is not strong offensively.

　　 Although the offense was not successful, Westbrook thought he at least saved the ball. Unexpectedly, this basketball that was passed out was intercepted by Tony Parker who suddenly rushed out! Maybe to force Westbrook to pass the ball to Wilkins, this is part of **Vicci's defensive strategy!

Parker immediately launched a counterattack after stealing the ball. The nickname "French sports car" is not for nothing. Of course, this does not mean that Parker's absolute speed is extremely fast, but because Parker can suddenly shoot or change during high-speed operation. to.

Durant and Westbrook were the two who chased and defended the most in time. Just when they were still thinking about how Parker would attack the frame, he suddenly made a throw without slowing down. Both Te and Westbrook were in vain.

"Westbrook's ability to read the game is still too poor. He fell into the trap set by the Spurs on the first goal." Kenny Smith watched Parker easily counterattack, and he also raised the strength of the Thunder in his heart. Questioned.

　　 But when the Thunder came over for the second time, the Spurs' defense was the real challenge.

"Sure enough, do you still use the center to organize the offense?" **Vicci held his chin. He hasn't seen this kind of tactics. It's just that very few people are used. In addition, the skills of the centers in the league have become more and more rough over the years. , And almost no one would use a center like this.

　　 But Jeff Van Gundy is a coach who dares to use and does use a center forward. In his eyes, Anjie organizing offense is as common as eating and sleeping.

　　 Anjie held up the basketball at the center point, and the Thunder immediately circled Anjie. Suddenly a point! Durant, who cut inside, got a chance!

　　 Durant's breakthrough attracted the attention of Duncan, Finley and the Spurs starting shooting guard Roger Mason, all three of them contracted into the penalty area at the same time.

　　Unexpectedly, Durant’s ability is not only reflected in scoring, but with the leftovers, Durant passed the basketball to Westbrook, who was in the open, just before the three of them completed the encirclement.

　　 Westbrook shoots as soon as he pulls it up. It's still the kind of jump shot that has more than enough height and lack of feel. But this time, Westbrook successfully scored the ball.

　　 "Beautiful, from the perfect cooperation of these three rookies! The three young masters challenged gdp for the first time!" Reggie Miller finally spoke. Where is Charles Barkley? He was intently watching the live text of football on his mobile phone.

　　 **Vicci is not wrong. This Thunder, which has been unanimously despised by the outside world, actually possesses decent strength. Fortunately, he has already deployed a lot of tactics for the characteristics of the Thunder.

　　 Anjie found that his organizational task on the offensive end was getting more and more difficult. Facing the off-the-ball pick-and-rolls of others on the Thunder team, the Spurs directly adopted a defensive change. In this way, the Thunder's off-the-ball running rarely has a chance to open up space.

An Jie played two consecutive times under the situation of poor organization. The first ball faced Bonner’s defense and An Jie made a tentative step and then broke. Bonner couldn’t help but pull on An Jie’s jersey. Jie made the free throw line.

　　 Bonner is still loved by the fans even though he can't play excellent data because of his spirit of not giving up. Even in the face of the fierce "Wolf King" Garnett before, Bonner dared to knock him directly to the ground.

　　 For the second ball, An Jie still couldn't pass the ball out, but changed to a back-hit state, wanting to play one-on-one with Bonner.

　　 Under An Jie's strong push, Bonner was still defeated. There was a chance of a gap, An Jie turned and hit a close-range jumper, which almost became An Jie's signature action.

　　 It doesn't matter if the organization line is cut off, and Anjie's personal scoring ability is not weak!

>

　　 "Do you want to use Tim?" **Vicci looked at Duncan. Maybe he was the only one who could limit the No. 16 rookie instead of Bonner.

　　 On the defensive end, Jeff Van Gundy was the first to make a change. He yelled from the sidelines to remind Anjie and Joe Smith to change positions, let Anjie defend Duncan, and Smith defend Bonner, who was floating on the outside.

　　 An Jie was ordered to act, is he finally going to fight the Spurs banner! ?

　　 But to Anjie's disappointment, Duncan only made a screen for Parker in this offense and didn't continue to play. And Parker also made another throw and hit with Duncan's tacit pick-and-roll.

"Hey, haven't you watched you fall asleep? As long as the Spurs attack in this way for the entire game, the Thunder will lose. However, what can be seen in the Spurs' offense?" Barkley exaggerated into the microphone. Yawned.

　　 "You still continue to watch your rugby player Charles." Kenny Smith's commentary style to Barkley has long been used to it.

However, it is true that the Spurs may be one of David Stern’s least favorite teams. Although they have won championships many times, the Spurs games can always make the audience doze off. The Spurs are in the finals. , The ratings are also very unsatisfactory. There is no gorgeous offense, only one-stop conduction and pick-and-rolls, and only a barrel defense that kills brilliant shots. This is the San Antonio Spurs.

　　 But **Vicci doesn't care about this, as long as they can win, the audience can sleep as they like. His arrangement successfully contained the Thunder, which was full of offensive talents. That kind of brilliant attacking frame after the inside cut and breakthrough, the Thunder have not been able to stage today.

　　 But only An Jie has nothing to do with Bonner. In the end, **Vicci also yelled, Duncan and Bonner switched positions. The 21st came to Anjie!

　　 Duncan let An Jie take a step, and reached out to An Jie with a big hand to block An Jie's vision. Duncan has played against countless great big men, and he is definitely the most knowledgeable one in terms of defensive inside player experience.

　　 Anjie saw Duncan let him take a step, but did not choose to break through. For a person like Duncan who has become a master, it is easy to make Anjie an offensive foul.

　　 Back and close, Anjie wants to do the most primitive confrontation with Duncan!

　　 Just when everyone, including Duncan himself, thought that An Jie was going to play with him on his back~www.NovelMTL.com~ Just when Duncan just adjusted his defensive posture, An Jie suddenly turned around and accelerated! After just hitting the back for a second, An Jie turned around and broke through!

　　 Duncan, who had not had time to react, rushed forward with all his strength. An Jie faced the already undefended basket, and he couldn't find a second way to stop An Jie from scoring other than chasing Duncan with all his strength.

　　 Unexpectedly, An Jie suddenly stopped after halfway, did not choose to attack the frame directly, but completed a short-range emergency stop jumper in the three-second zone.

　　 Duncan rushed too far, but he immediately controlled his steps and stretched his arms to touch the basketball.

　　 But at this time, An Jie's advantages in height and wingspan are reflected. Duncan's defense almost touched An Jie's basketball, but there is no difference between the close and the difference.

　　 "Swipe!" An Jie successfully played Duncan on the offensive end twice!

"Oh! When was the last time you saw a center with this kind of technology? Break through, stop, and shoot! Ann's action was done in one go, even Duncan can't stop him!" Kenny Smith's praise of An Jie also attracted. Barkley's attention.

　　 On the way back to the defense, Anjie and Durant had already made a high-five with Westbrook. The core of the Thunder team is not so defensive!

　　Stone Buddha? Don't worry, no matter how hard it is, An Jie will bite a gap! (To be continued.)
