The originally dull game became exciting because of Marc Gasol's tough second attack and Anjie's ball-holding breakthrough to catch up with the fantasy dance steps. These two goals can be regarded as the beginning of Anjie and Gasol Jr.'s showdown.

Although those two attacks were wonderful, they were not intentional by Gasol and Anjie. Gasol scored because Rudy and Gay started to make a fuss, and Anjie's own attack was because his teammates were unable to run out of the gap.

The Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers are both teams that attach great importance to defense, so both sides force each other to death. After understanding each other's offensive routines, the shooting percentage of the outside players of the two teams began to decline.

At this time, it is time for Anjie and Gasol to stand up.

The two of them significantly increased their singles afterwards. Anjie and Gasol Jr. did not retain it and showed their highest level since the first quarter.

The two of them had offensive and defense, and they were hard to solve, which made the reporters who had been waiting for a long time very excited.

It was not until the eighth minute of the first quarter that Ricard and Hollins replaced Angel and Gasol Jr. respectively.

At this time, both the team scores and the personal data of the two were basically the same. Only the two teams' second teams still had a main focus on defense, and the offense was not very good.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers were one point behind the Grizzlies, fourth in the West, 24-25 away. However, everyone knows that if the game time is 24 seconds longer, the Grizzlies who are one point behind may be the Grizzlies.

"It seems that Sam Smith is right. Look at Anger, he is indisputable to play against Gasol Jr. If the fourth in the West was a team with a weak inside line, the Blazers would have established an advantage long ago." A young reporter with golden eyes started to talk.

"The basketball game will take a full 48 minutes. I think as a basketball reporter, you won't even know this, right? It will take a long time to see which one is better. It's a bit ignorant to draw a conclusion now." A Chinese man turned his head fiercely and roared at the handsome guy Jin.

"What..." Mr. Jin was about to go up to find the Chinese to argue, but was pulled by an older reporter behind him.

"Okay Oguire, stop fighting. He was right, just one section, and you can't see anything. And that guy named Wu Hua, no matter how you fight with him, it's useless. Just like Sam Smith is Jordan's personal reporter, and that Chinese is An's personal reporter. In his mouth, An's personal reporter will always be the best." The old reporter asked the young man to calm his anger. Wu Hua supported An's, which is normal. In the past, Sam Smith also supported Jordan unconditionally.

"What a royal reporter, pretending to be a fool." The handsome guy Jin sorted out his outfit without hesitation, but it was obvious that he didn't want to cause trouble for Wu Hua anymore.

"We want to set a trap for Rudy Guy to lure him into breakthroughs, and then force him to make a fuss. In this way, the Grizzlies' offense will be messed up." Ricard did not make any special arrangements for Gasol during the break, but instead asked the players to focus on Guy who performed mediocrely.

"Why is Guy?" Anjie asked in confusion.

"This guy is just like Harden and Mayo, and it's easy to be unable to control his shots. This season's shortcomings have improved a lot, but today, I see this guy has a tendency to get sick and relapse." Ricard would not let go of any details on the court. Rudy Guy chose to shoot in the first quarter, and these are signals that Ricard could use.

"Let him take action, but not him score. At least in the second quarter, Guy can't hold it back! Pay attention to your defensive traps, as for the offense..." Ricarded paused and glanced at the bench. In the second half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers' outside offense was a mess. The defense led by Tony Allen was too strong. Ricarded of course could let Lillard lead the team's strong attack, but why should you try this inefficient choice?

"Offensively let Andoduo play singles at the low post! An, you can't negotiate to win Mark!"

"Just wait for you to make this arrangement, boss." Anjie laughed. Marc Gasol is indeed an excellent traditional center, and his performance in the first quarter can prove this. But Anjie does not think he will lose.

No, he didn't even think that Gasol could be equal to him...

"Rudy Guy's emergency stop and jump shot, Iguodala's forward save was very timely, just like he knew Guy would definitely jump shot. The basketball hit the box and Anger controlled the ball. Oh, this ball was actually empty. As long as Rudy Guy's vision was wider, the Grizzlies will get a chance." At the beginning of the second quarter, Ricard's targeted tactics worked. Rudy Guy was still happy that he could break through easily. He thought that he didn't score the ball because of bad luck. Little did he know that he had been deeply trapped in the defensive trap of the Trail Blazers and could not extricate himself.

In the Grizzlies' defense, Tony Allen's candy was close to Wesley, and Matthews refused to let go. In the entire lineup of the Trail Blazers, Matthews' three-pointers were the most threatening. Therefore, the task of seeing Matthews die naturally fell on Tony Allen.

Now Matthews has to spend a lot of effort even connecting the ball, not to mention three-pointers. However, Lillard did not make the tactics too complicated this time. After he gave the ball to Iguodala, Iguodala threatened three times and then gave the ball to Anjie who was in a good position. Fans never expected that the contest between the two giants would be so quickly in the second quarter!

"The Trail Blazers' tactics are really simple to eliminate violence. They know that the Grizzlies' inside line is not easy to play, but they still have to attack the inside line. Let's see if Anjie is really as vulnerable as Sam Smith said." The commentators from various TV stations also watched with interest. This time, can Anjie break through Gasol's defense?

Anjie held the ball with his back and turned his head back to observe the situation. Everyone stared at them intently, looking forward to another duel like Mars hitting the earth.

However, An Jie just held the ball with both hands and swung his left hand. After that, An Jie suddenly turned and broke through to the right side in the opposite direction!

Little Gasol was deceived by Anjie's first feint. When he wanted to go back to the right direction to pursue Anjie, he realized that the distance between Anjie and himself was no longer possible for him to take any remedies.

"Too fast!" Gasol bit his teeth helplessly. If this league can rank among the top ten centers, Gasol may be the slowest one. And Anjie, in terms of degree and flexibility, can undoubtedly squeeze into the top three.

An Jie made a heavy dunk as always. With just one move, An Jie completed the dunk in front of Gasol. This result was something that most people did not expect.

They thought that Anjie would have a very difficult attack under Gasol's defense. However, they saw Anjie with their own eyes and easily shattered Gasol's defense.

"This attack... was really surprisingly relaxed. Maybe Gasol was not focused enough just now, which made Anjie take advantage of the loophole." Well, almost all the commentators explained this way. However, just over ten seconds later, a similar situation occurred again.

Gasol continued to defend Anjie, and Anjie found that it would be very difficult to sit and fight with the white bear.

So Anjie stopped pushing and began to shake his shoulders.

Suddenly! An Jie tried to the left and raised the basketball, and it seemed that he wanted to hook his hands!

Marc Gasol dared not act rashly, but he could not let Anjie take action calmly near the basket.

His way is to move his steps slightly and raise his hands to interfere with Anjie's shot.

Seeing this, An Jie's movement was still not interrupted. He suddenly stopped the arm that had just been raised, bent his waist, held the ball, and stepped forward, easily passing through the armpits where Gasol raised his arms.

A close-range basket picking is a bit bad for the basket picking. But Anjie's excellent ball sense still allows the basketball to enter the net through a very small curve.

"Damn!" Gasol may be a very good frame protector, but it seems a bit difficult to ask him to come out and defend Anjie.

Afterwards, Anjie used a mid-range shot and a wonderful pass to attract the defensive contraction, which gave the Trail Blazers an advantage.

It would be very difficult for Gasol Jr. to come back on the offensive end.

Unlike Anjie who can easily score on Gasol, Gasol will definitely be defended by Anjie every time he scores.

Over time, Xiao Gal's physical strength was not very good, and his accuracy became worse and worse in such a long period of high-intensity confrontation. Therefore, his performance was getting further and further away from Anjie.

As both defense and offense fell into a temporary stop, the gap between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers rose "ruggedly".

Slowly, people realized that the taste of Anjie and Gasol's confrontation in this game has become increasingly weak. Confrontation, as the name suggests, must be evenly matched, be called confrontation.

However, now, Gasol is completely at a disadvantage! Anjie can easily hit him on the offensive end, but he cannot effectively shake Anjie's defense.

Only then did people realize that Marc Gasol, who performed well this season, could not be on par with Anjie at all! This guy is still one level short of Anjie!

"I think we were all deceived by that guy Sam Smith. From beginning to end, this is not a showdown between top centers!" Kevin Holland saw Gasol Jr. hooking up again under Angel's interference, and he revealed his thoughts.

Sam Smith commented on center? Does this guy understand center?

Anjie couldn't perform well when he met Gasol Jr.? No, Gasol Jr. could not compare with Anjie at all!
