Chapter Three Hundred and Seventieth: Inside and Inside Attack
"The consciousness is really not good." Angel looked at Tony Allen and finished the dunk, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Gerald Wallace did not pass this ball well, Gasol Jr. also needs to have strong predictive ability to intercept the ball.
The reason why Wallace takes it for granted is that he can always successfully hand the ball to Anjie in this way when facing other opponents. But for the Grizzlies and Gasol Jr., this ordinary and simple cooperation really doesn't work.
It is said that the Grizzlies are slow, but in a flash, they completed their first offense. The Trail Blazers' second attempt, Anjie decided to make himself the sharp knife that first pierced the enemy's chest!
Anjie knew that he weighed 2o kilograms and was not inferior to his own Marc. Gasol was not so easy to push. Anjie's strength and body have indeed improved a lot, but he is also a human being. He is not a giant who can easily push any opponent.
So Anjie gave up his plan to be on the inside, and he mentioned the high position, hoping to defeat the Grizzlies' defensive backbone with his faster pace!
"And doesn't plan to solve the problem at the low post. This tough guy always chooses the position at the low post every time he attacks, but today, he plans to seek opportunities outside the three-second zone." O'Neal saw Anger running to the high post to make a wall, and held his hands and looked at it with interest.
"Do you think An chose to attack from the outside because he was afraid of Gasol's inside defense?" Kenny Smith raised a question to O'Neal.
"It is not ruled out that there is such a possibility, but for guys like Anjie, I think the possibility is very small." Just kidding, when O'Neal was playing for the Suns, Anjie was not afraid to fight to the death with him at the basket. Now, how could he be scared by a little Gasol?
"An should have thought of a better and easier solution. I have said more than once that the center should stay in the inside. This is a point of view that it is too wrong to be wrong. In the 1990s, Dameng and I often confront each other outside the three-point line and break through. Like the center and players in other positions, they have the right to choose their own offensive methods!" O'Neal knew that only the top center would not be limited to that small three-second zone.
Seeing An Jie running to the high position to pick-and-roll, Gasol followed without hesitation. Although he knew that An Jie must have his own little plan in his heart, he could not let An Jie ignore it.
After borrowing the pick-and-roll, he temporarily got rid of Conley Felton. After only a few steps, he passed the basketball back. Anjie took the basketball in a small step behind the free throw line. In front of him, Marc Gasol, who had set up a defensive posture, was moving step by step. Now, he finally reached the most critical step.
"Lets,go,an!Lets,go,an!" In an instant, the fans of Rose Garden shouted Anjie's name.
They kept their energy to cheer him up, hoping that he could win back the color on Gasol's head.
After Anjie held the ball, he also made a three-threat move first, but Marc Gasol remained motionless. There are countless inside players with excellent athletic ability in this league and hope that he can break through and tear Gasol, a European mobile fortress, torn apart, the defense of Gasol, a European mobile fortress, but few people have succeeded.
Marc Gasol doesn't think that Anjie, who is not as good as an athletic ability, can break through his level. This kind of trick can't make Gasol change his center of gravity!
Seeing that Gasol was unmoved, Anjie was definitely not making a fool of himself. He directly pierced Gasol's left side. Although the activation rate was far less than that of the lightning-fast outer lines, it was not slow for Gasol!
However, if Gasol could be passed by An Jie, it would be too sorry for the hype from the outside world. With his strong defensive awareness, he predicted An Jie's breakthrough route. It is precisely because of this that Gasol could make up for his slow movement and complete blocking or repairing defense very timely.
Seeing that Anjie and Sol were about to collide, many Trail Blazers fans lowered their arms that were originally raised high in disappointment. It seems that Anjie's breakthrough will not be successful this time.
Even Gasol thought so in his heart. But when An Jie was about to bump into him, An Jie suddenly flashed and wiped it from his right side!
"What!?" Gasol immediately turned around and chased back. What did Anjie do just now? With a high movement and a quick collision with the defensive player, he completed a very fast forward change!
This is not a profound breakthrough technique. Many fans sitting in front of the TV can easily do it. But seeing such actions on the center and on the center who is 2 meters tall is still amazing enough!
Yao Ming used his back dribble to dribble the defender's dunk, shocked the whole country. Today, An Jie's move is no worse than Yao Ming's one! The big center uses a defender's move to be extraordinary. Even if this picture is simple and unpretentious, it is enough to make people scream!
After Anjie broke through Gasol Jr., Zach Randolph, who came to the Grizzlies, actively returned to defense. He did not want to block Anjie, but only wanted to make Anjie an offensive foul.
But Anjie is not stupid. Randolph comes to make up for defense. Doesn’t that mean...
So at the moment when Angel was about to collide at Randolph, Angel turned her head to Wesley Matthews, her wrists trembled, but she passed the basketball to the opposite of his eyes. At this moment, she was leaking a clean Lamarcus Aldridge!
Randolph immediately made a comeback, but Aldridge had already made a shot. The second leader with steady mid-range shots would not waste such an opportunity. The basketball hit the hollow, and the Trail Blazers won the game back!
Although An Jie is not the final attacker, his breakthrough and wonderful pass are the two most exciting links of this attack.
An Jie was as he expected, like a sharp knife penetrated the enemy's chest, opening a hole for the Trail Blazers!
Angel and Aldridge slapped tacitly, and the league's best offensive inside combination is not just a false reputation!
For the Trail Blazers, the Grizzlies' defense is a difficult problem. But for the Grizzlies, the offense of Angel and Aldridge is also a difficult problem that bothers people?
However, the Trail Blazers fans were not excited for long, and the Grizzlies immediately poured cold water on them.
Gasol also likes to cruise in the middle distance when attacking because like An Jie, he has the ability to support the offense at a high position.
Gasol, little Gasol, had to withdraw from the three-second zone. Anjie quitted from the three-second zone, and the intensity of the Trail Blazers' inside defense immediately decreased by several levels.
Mike Conley used the pick-and-roll to stuff the ball into Rudy Guy's hands. Rudy Guy made a fake spoil to trick Gerald Wallace into moving the center of gravity forward, and then made a smooth breakthrough.
Guy broke through from a zero-degree angle, and only Aldridge could help defend.
Seeing Guy jumping, Aldridge also jumped along. But in the air, Guy suddenly passed the ball and handed Randolph.
Randolph did not waste Guy's kindness. After all, Guy rarely shares the ball rights. The fat man wearing a No. 5o jersey jumped gently at the basket, pressed his wrist, and then used a hook to hit the ball steadily.
The lack of Angel's three-second zone is a complete opportunity for the Grizzlies! Aldridge's defense is indeed not bad, but it is only the league average. It is far from enough to stop Randolph at this level.
Afterwards, Anjie tried to make up for defense in the past three seconds. But Randolph was no longer the cancer that he had in the torn city back then. His selfless sharing allowed Gasol Jr. to get several open shots.
Gasol Jr. lived up to expectations and converted all the opportunities into scores.
When Randolph was a Trail Blazer, he was simply a person who was beaten up. But today he showed maturity and calmness when facing his old boss.
When he first joined the Grizzlies, everyone thought that Randolph would continue to be displaced in Memphis and was so bad that he retired. But unexpectedly, this fat man changed his previous style of eating and waiting to die, and finally learned how to be a "star"!
He led the way when defending, and his rebounding skills were even more fierce. His ability to handle balls was improved by several levels compared to his previous self who only knew how to play brainlessly.
In this game, he fully reflected his progress. It was precisely because of Randolph's selfless pass that Gasol had the opportunity to start shooting.
Indeed, on the offensive end, Gasol Jr. and Randolph are indeed not as dazzling as Anger and Aldridge, who often score 20 to 30. But their offensive level is also not bad!
People only remember the defense of the Black and White bears, but always ignore the attacks of these two excellent technical big men. Now, An Jie knows that it is impossible to strangle these two guys from Yi!
Even if they have to be strangled to death, An Jie will have to wait until after observation and adjustment.
So in the subsequent game, the fans really saw a wonderful inside offensive and defensive battle.
An Jie used his kaleidoscope-like means to keep helping the team score, and the Black and White Bears also scored wonderful goals in the interior with their own defense.
Especially Gasol, facing a top inside defender in the league like Anjie, he is not showing any weakness, and frequently scores on Anjie's head with hooks or shots.
An Jie has tried his best, but he can't block Gasol's shot every time. Faced with this kind of inside line with good skills and soft touch, as long as you give him room to think, he has the possibility of scoring a goal. An Jie himself is also a center of this type?
The scores of both sides were very anxious. It was not until the end of the quarter that the second team of both sides officially took over the game that the gap gradually emerged.
O.J. Mayo, who was once trained as a star, has now become the "star" on the Grizzlies' bench. However, even if he was pressed on the bench, this guy's own playing style has not changed much.
Under his leadership, the Grizzlies' second team played a mess. On the other side, Contney Lee, as the main scoring point of the Trail Blazers' second team, failed to hit two open three-pointers in a row, giving the Grizzlies some time to breathe.
However, when Jamal Crawford started the offensive mode, the score difference was quickly widened.
Also the leader on the bench, Jamal Crawford did much better than O.J. Mayo. He made a comeback and shot, beating Mayo, a young O8 man who was much more glorious than Angel, was so unrequited that he could not find the North.
Gasol and Randolph were shaking their heads below. Mayo was very talented, but he really didn't know how to use his talent.
2o to 26, with Jamal Crawford's excellent performance, the score was finally widened. But this does not mean that the Grizzlies cannot turn over, because so far, Gasol and Randolph are not inferior to Angel and Aldridge at all!
Jamal Crawford may occasionally become the key factor in the victory of the game, but today, Anjie is still the one who controls the life and death of the Trail Blazers.
How to defeat the Black and White Bears is the key to whether the Trail Blazers can win! Crawford is just an auxiliary, but Anjie cannot rely on auxiliary to win.
The mind and body, technology and brute force. An Jie has found that what he and these two guys need to do is a full-scale struggle!
In the second quarter, both sides figured out each other's foundation, and next, they will create more trouble for each other.
Chapter completed!
