Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Seven: Grizzly Stickers

He played back, turned around, jumped. He played back, turned around, jumped. Under the booing of the fans of Rose Garden, Mark Gasol never tires about practicing this most basic technical move over and over again.

Gasol Jr. would not be frightened by the momentum of Portland fans. In fact, he had no intention of getting applause here.

Although a small group of Grizzlies fans traveled thousands of miles to Portland to watch the football, the cheering of those fans will soon be drowned out by the booing of Portland fans.

Gasol felt that he was sweating more and more, so he temporarily stopped moving and adjusted his breathing.

Mark couldn't help but turn his head and look at Anjie, the best defensive player winner, is also the biggest favorite of mVp this season. It's exactly the same as himself, and is wearing warm-up without slacking off.

Alternate hooking hands at the basket is Anjie's most commonly used warm-up method before the game. Although this kind of warm-up action is not too targeted, it is a good way to keep inside players feeling.

Gasol doesn't want to see Anjie so serious. He would rather be looked down upon by Anjie now than to do his best. Although the Grizzlies have excellent performance in the playoffs, Gasol has never forgotten how terrifying the Trail Blazers' ability to control the situation in the regular season.

"Continue Anderson, pass the ball to me, let's practice mid-range shot!" Seeing this, Gasol could not allow himself to continue to rest. He immediately threw the ball to his trainer, stood at the middle distance, and continued to warm up. He was afraid that the diligent Anger would be in better shape than himself later, so one more minute of rest would make Gasol feel panicked.

Anjie and Gasol Jr., these two guys have formed a virtuous cycle. Neither side is willing to let each other lead. In the warm-up stage, these two best centers are getting more excited.

"This is the first time I'm here to watch the Western Conference semi-finals?" Zhang Weiping looked around excitedly. The warm atmosphere at the scene had already integrated this veteran commentator into it.

TV sent commentators and reporters to the United States in advance to follow Anjie's playoff journey.

The TV's ratings are declining. The impact of online media and live broadcast on traditional media is too huge.

TV spared no expense to send people to the scene just to give it a more advantage over the online platform.

Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia were also fortunate to come to the live commentary stage in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Following and reporting on a Chinese player's playoff journey, An Jie was also the first player in China to enjoy this honor. When Yao Ming played in the playoffs, TV sent someone to the live commentary.

"Anjie and Gasol Jr. are both very serious. Although the outside world says that this is destined to be a dull game, I am still looking forward to it. The center vs. the center, defense vs. the defense. In many years, nBa has not had such a showdown." Yu Jia put on his headphones, and in a few minutes, the signal from the Beijing Studios will be cut to them. In other words, the time left for him to chat is getting less and less.

"This is of course worth looking forward to. After all, the only Chinese who is standing on the court now is the only Chinese who plays in nBa." Zhang Weiping was ready, and An Jie looked at him all.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the 2o12-2o13 nBa playoff Western Conference semifinals. Here are Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia. Today, we will give you an explanation at the Rose Garden Arena!"

The opening remark that is familiar to all Chinese fans is said from Yu Jia, and An Jie and Gasol Jr. also stood in the middle circle. The second level of the Trail Blazers championship sprint stage is about to begin!

Anjie stared at Gasol's eyes, but Gasol didn't shy away from Anjie's eyes.

"He is very motivated." An Jie said to himself in his heart. If a person dares to look at you for a long time and his eyes are firm, it can only prove one problem, he is not afraid of you.

Now Gasol is not timid or nervous because his opponent is An Jie. He admits that in terms of personal ability, he is not as good as An Jie. But the playoffs are a game between the team and the team. An Jieguang is a powerful person and cannot help the Trail Blazers advance!

"Fast your people, don't lose your position!" Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins shouted on the sidelines before both sides jumped.

Because of the existence of Lillard and Iguodala, the Trail Blazers have the ability to start a fast break in an instant. For example, the fast strike after jumping the ball is already the Trail Blazers' usual trick in the regular season.

Hollins doesn't want the Grizzlies to give the Trail Blazers such an easy chance to score. Hollins plans to continue from the first second with the candy-like close-fitting defense!

This defensive champion who once famous for defense in the Trail Blazers and retired his No. 14 jersey in Portland, still brings his tough defensive style to the Grizzlies.

Hollins may have been a hero of the Trail Blazers, but now, the Trail Blazers will definitely not show mercy to the Grizzlies.

With the referee's whistle, Anjie and Gasol Jr. jumped almost at the same time. However, Anjie, who has more advantage in jumping, height and wingspan, took the lead in obtaining the ball for the Trail Blazers.

After getting the ball, Lillard immediately rushed up. An unexpected attack was Lillard's specialty!

However, just as Lillard was about to get off, he was blocked by a Grizzlies player.

"Tony Allen, he successfully judged Damien's intentions. With a beautiful blockade, Lillard can only fight the position right now."

"Do you use Tony to defend Damien?" Ricard held his chin, and he always thought that Tony Allen would be sent to Iguodala. But from now on, Hollins seems to have not made Ricard's idea come true.

From the beginning, he cut off the Blazers' offense, which is why Hollin sent Tony Allen to defend the No. 1 position. If Lillard was allowed to pass the ball calmly, the Grizzlies' defense would have actually been half defeated.

Lillard saw Tony Allen open his arms and made his defense wider. Lillard now has no vision for passing balls, and he must pass Allen in order to continue the attack of the Trail Blazers.

So Lillard began to change the ball handler at a high rate, and Tony Allen's center of gravity had not changed at all. He would not be deceived because of this trick.

Suddenly! Lillard suddenly rushed towards Zuojia and prepared to break through. Tony Allen reacted quickly, and he immediately changed his center of gravity to block it.

"Just wait for you!" Lillard was proud. His breakthrough to the left was just a fake move. It seemed that Tony Allen, who was praised by the media, was nothing more than that.

Lillard forced his way down, then suddenly changed hands and dribbled to the right. He shook Tony Allen away, and Lillard's vision became widening instantly.

He saw that Anjie was about to stay at the edge of the three-second zone and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Just as Lillard was about to pass the ball, his eyes suddenly turned black!

"It's Tony Allen. This guy has been shaken away just now, but he still made up with an extremely fast horizontal movement! What a terrifying defender, it's worthy of Tony!" Tony Allen's strong body allowed him to easily block Lillard. Lillard staggered a few steps and almost lost the ball.

Just now, he was sure that he had shaken Tony Allen's center of gravity and returned so quickly. How did Tony Allen do it?

Just as Lillard was thinking, Tony Allen rushed forward and Lillard was stunned for a moment, and something was wrong. But unfortunately, the basketball was already stabbed away by Tony Allen.

Although in terms of body shape, Tony Allen seems to have been several laps larger than Lillard. In fact, these two guys are about the same height. So it is easy for Tony Allen to interrupt the ball from the stunned Lillard.

After intercepting the ball, Tony Allen instantly added and immediately opened the distance with Lillard. Anjie and his teammates struggled to catch up, but no one could keep up with Tony Allen's degree.

Within a few seconds, Allen advanced from the backcourt to the half. Although Lillard had been interfering behind Allen, the strong Tony Allen was not affected at all.

The guy stepped into the free throw line with one foot and jumped hard with one leg. After gliding in the air for a while, Tony Allen slammed with one hand and made a fast attack, leaving only Lillard with a surprised face behind him.

"Beautiful defensive counterattack! From steals to goals, Tony Allen took less than 6 seconds! This is the power of defense, this is the terrible thing about the Grizzlies!" Mike Bryn was ready to say that a team that relied on defense could not make a beautiful attack. This goal undoubtedly smashed this remark in one fell swoop. Originally, espn planned to let Mike Bryn, the ace commentator, explain the game between the Spurs and the Warriors, but he insisted on coming to the Rose Garden. However, the confrontation between the two teams did not disappoint Mike Bryn.

"Get out the ball as soon as possible, don't stick to the ball!" Ricard shouted at Lillard on the sidelines. Although Lillard has performed very well this season, Lillard is still too immature for a defender who is admired by Kobe.

The Trail Blazers quickly organized a second offense. In order to avoid being entangled by Tony Allen, Lillard passed the ball out just after halftime.

Of course, at this distance, Lillard could not directly give the ball to the inside. His target of passing the ball was Iguodala who stood firm on the wing. The ball must first pass through Iguodala's hand and then to Anjie's hand.

Iguodala stared at the basketball with her eyes tightly, afraid that Lillard would not receive the ball that was passed by the interference. However, just as the basketball was about to fly into his hands, Iguodala saw in shock that Tyshaun Prince had already walked around.

"Damn it!" Iguodala rushed forward suddenly. In order to grab the basketball, he and Prince collided hard.

The older "old prince" naturally could not withstand the impact of the strong Iguodala, and he fell to the floor. It was true that Iguodala was very strong, but God knows whether the cunning Prince added the performance elements in it.

Iguodala immediately grabbed the basketball. Now is not the time to respect the elderly and love the young. However, just as he wanted to throw the ball to the inside, the referee's whistle sounded.

"The Trail Blazers' offensive foul, ball rights exchange!"

The referee's voice sounded so incredible to An Jie and others. For the ball just now, the referee actually called Iguodala for a foul?

"What a joke!?" Ricard was the first to go crazy. In his opinion, Iguodala's brave confrontation just now was a good goal. But the referee's call ruined all this.

"I advise you to retreat to the bench to coach, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. I don't care whether you are the best coach or not, even if you are the best coach, you have to follow the rules." The referee's tough response made Ricard furious.

"Fuck you..." Ricard was blocked by Divac when he was halfway through his words. If Ricard finished scolding those words, he would probably have to go to the locker room to watch the game.

Although the offense ended with a foul by the Trail Blazers, it has to be admitted that the Grizzlies completed another beautiful defense.

"Okay, it doesn't matter. We defend seriously, the game has just begun!" An Jie signaled his teammates to calm down and continue the game. The others also listened to An Jie and did not continue to harass the referee for that matter.

The entire Rose Garden is booing now, but Gasol is very happy. Now, you should know how powerful the Grizzlies are!

People have regarded the Trail Blazers as the favorite to win this season, but whether they can win the championship is not up to the fans.
