How important is a star in the NBA team? Take the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers as an example.

If the Nuggets had a star who could make a final decision last season, their performance could definitely be improved by one level. It can be said that the Nuggets lost last season because they did not have a key figure.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers, Anjie, who had been in Portland for two years last season, has become a complete leader. Orsey chose to trade for Anjie to make him the leader. It can be said that it is precisely because of Anjie that the Trail Blazers last season won the second O'Brien Cup in their team's history.

Of course, no one can deny the contributions of Lillard, Aldridge, Iguodala and others to the team. But Angel is undoubtedly several times more important than theirs.

These two teams have completely different endings because of their own stars. In history, countless examples of leading stars saving teams have also appeared.

Now, the Trail Blazers are facing such a situation where someone needs to stand up. An Jie refused to take it forward. Where is the Nuggets? They can still use the form of wheel battles to slowly grind the defending champions.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers took the lead in attacking.

Hickson, who was still part of the Trail Blazers last season, and Jamal McGee, the "Spring Man", set up their stance and waited for Anjie to come to him at any time.

Anjie is indeed very powerful, but when his last bit of physical strength was also drained, the Nuggets players didn't believe that this yellow-skinned guy could continue to turn the tide.

Andre Miller skillfully controlled the ball in poor form, and he had been in the Nuggets for 7 years. The thin air in the Pepsi Center was as dull as eating and sleeping for Old Miller.

But Miller has almost no ability to score independently now. Ty Lawson only needs to be on guard against Miller's pass to reduce the threat of the old defender by half.

Miller held Lawson with one hand and slapped the basketball carefully with the other hand. At the same time, Miller's eyes kept searching, searching for even a slight chance!

Angel was held tightly by McGee and Hickson, and he couldn't catch the ball at all now. There was no way, so Old Miller had to hit the ball and pass it to Aldridge.

Aldridge performed well today, and this guy seemed to be born without being affected by altitude sickness. But Hickson's defense against Aldridge is too strict. At this time, the Trail Blazers need a success rate, and Aldridge cannot use force to solve the problem every time.

Facing his tightly pressed former teammate Hickson, Ade did not rush to attack, but held the basketball high with both hands and observed.

Helplessly, the other Trail Blazers' running was not active. The Trail Blazers whose physical strength has been drained did not get too many opportunities through running.

Aldridge couldn't have been frozen in place all the time. He suddenly took the ball down, took a step back, and planned to shoot!

Although j.j. Hickson's defense is not as top-notch, he has been teammates with Aldridge for a year and is very familiar with Aldridge's habits.

Seeing Aldridge suddenly take the ball down, Hickson guessed that this guy was going to retreat! So he didn't hesitate and put it on with a big strode, forcing Aldridge to lose all his focus, let alone shoot.

The basketball was finally able to take action, and Aldridge also sat on the ground. Ricard closed his hands and looked at the basketball spinning in the air, but...

"No, Aldridge's shot failed to hit. This is definitely an opportunity for the Nuggets, and they are now equalizing the score!" Before Mike Bryn finished speaking, the basketball that was knocked out of the basket was clicked into the box by a big hand.

"Yan! He succeeded in a beautiful tip-in, and he rescued the Trail Blazers' already failed offense!"

"Damn Chinese!" Brian Xiao cursed. This time the defense was already successful, but it changed everything because of An Jie!

"Be patient with Lamarcus, the one who should be anxious about is the side that is behind!" During the process of returning to defense, Angel shouted at Aldridge. He must stabilize the entire situation and be impatient, which will only accelerate the death of the Trail Blazers.

The Nuggets attacked, and the "Little Potato" Nate, who performed well in this game, got a three-point shot by Robinson, who stumbled on the baseline. Matthews, who was staggering, failed to arrive in time, so Robinson took a calm move.

Nate Robinson has always been a player of the nerve knife type, and their average data may not be eye-catching enough. But occasionally, these guys will play a performance comparable to superstars in a few games.

Today is undoubtedly the day when the dunk king "Little Potato" exploded. This three-pointer was hollowed out into the net, making Wesley Matthews have no temper.

"Top three points again! Nate Robinson has already scored 20 points today. God, I really don't know how the Trail Blazers can hold on until the end!"

"Please keep me closer to the defense! The game time is only more than three minutes. Is it rare that we can't hold on for even three minutes??" An Jie expressed dissatisfaction with the team's defense just now, but no one would be dissatisfied with the comments of An Jie. After An Jie said this, others would work harder.

The offense started again, and this time An Jie did not sit in the low post and wait for death. Instead, he made a pick-and-roll for his teammates. This move really made everyone in the Nuggets a little puzzled.

The game has reached this point, and the Trail Blazers still want to rely on others to get out of the predicament!?

Matthews immediately took advantage of Angel's pick-and-roll and ran out of the open position. Miller quickly got the ball. In an instant, the Trail Blazers got a chance to return!

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Matthews. Matthews did not hesitate and jumped high. But when the basketball shot, everyone in the Nuggets shouted in their hearts that something was wrong!

Matthews did not make a shot, but a fake shot and a real pass!

"Is the passer target!?" Hickson, who was originally preparing to grab the rebound, was still wondering who would catch the ball, but he heard Brian Shaw's shouting on the sidelines.

"Anjie! Look at Anjie to death!"

Seeing this, Hickson immediately turned around. At this time, Anjie had already dribbled through McGee and rushed straight to the basket.

Hickson did not hesitate, and left Aldridge behind and bravely stood in front of Angel.

"No, no!" Hickson swallowed nervously when he saw that Anjie did not slow down.

The next second, Anjie jumped directly, Hickson did not slacken, and then he started to rush.

What about McGee? How could this spring man miss the opportunity to pursue his life? He also jumped high and tried to have a double-team with Hickson.

However, when Anjie and Hickson made physical contact in the air, Hickson realized that even though he had become stronger, he still could not stop Anjie's impact!

He was pressed out in an instant, Anjie raised his arm and smashed the ball into the basket through Hickson!

Hickson fell from the air in a panic, and McGee flew out of the bottom line due to inertia.

"I'm sorry man! Today, no one can think of knocking us down!" Hickson yelled after Anjie rushed to the ground. It turned out that Anjie's yell would only make Hickson's morale more high. But now, when he became Anjie's hunting object, Anjie's yell would only make Hickson feel angry.

"Another wonderful dunk! Anjie's terrifying arm span and strong body always make him perform dunk scenes frequently! Come on, let Anjie come at the moment!" O'Neal became extremely excited. Anjie's dominance in the penalty area always reminds this fat man of his glorious years.

"It's okay, we were just fooled by Matthews just now!" McGee stretched out his hand and pulled Hickson up from the floor. But McGee's comfort could not calm Hickson's inside line at all.

The Nuggets launched a counterattack, and Ty Lawson's first quick step made Old Miller miserable.

Although Miller can always judge the direction of Lawson's breakthrough, he cannot block Lawson's breakthrough space in time.

This time, Lawson planned to use a sharp breakthrough to attract Anjie's defense, and then stage an aerial show with McGee.

Lawson has successfully achieved the first breakthrough. Now, the most important second step is left, leading the tiger out of the mountain!

Lawson was indeed very fast. An Jie felt that just blinking his eyes, the little guard who was only 1.8 meters tall rushed to him.

Lawson's touch today is very good. If he is allowed to throw calmly, the Trail Blazers will definitely pay the price.

There is no way, this is the disadvantage of Anjie's need for an old point guard. Anjie had long expected that he would do it many times this season.

"I'm fooled!" Seeing An Jie move his steps, Lawson suddenly jumped and threw the ball out!

Everyone thought Lawson's ball was a throw, but An Jie, who had carefully observed it, knew that Lawson was planning to pass the ball!

An Jie immediately turned around and jumped high. His reaction scared Lawson. How many people in this league can judge the aerial relay and turn around and block the shot? No one can do it except An Jie!

McGee received the basketball and was about to respond to Anjie's dunk just now with a powerful and heavy air relay.

Just when this seven-foot center with abnormal athletic ability was about to exert force, An Jie came from behind and pressed his hands on the basketball!

At this time, if McGee leans on Angel, he can easily get a free throw opportunity. But McGee often plays instinctively instead of responding to the game. He just wants to dunk at this moment, but he doesn't find that he can't dunk successfully.

McGee, who was greatly oppressed, was knocked out of focus by Anjie, and the basketball in his hand was also out of control because of Anjie's interference.

In the end, the basketball was nailed to the rebound by An Jie from behind, and what about McGee? He originally wanted to respond to An Jie's dunk, but he fell to the ground in a mess again, becoming the background that sets up An Jie.

The most important thing is that since McGee can't take advantage of the opportunity, the referee did not call Angel a foul. He believes that this collision is a reasonable collision!

"Cover the air relay, how is this possible!?"

"This is a very imaginative aerial relay, but it was blocked by An Jie, a guy who never gave in and took the ball!"

The commentary area was already in full swing at this moment, and the Nuggets players on the field also widened their eyes.

Before everyone from the Nuggets could react, Anjie took the ball and pushed it forward. Now that Lillard is not here and Miller is not able to run fast, Anjie plans to bring out the rhythm by himself!

At this time, everyone grew up. Anjie's ball control speed was so fast and his dribbling skills were so mature that you couldn't tell that this guy was a traditional center!

Just after halftime, Anjie passed the ball. Miller took over the ball, but Anjie was still rushing forward.

Suddenly, Miller threw the ball. Anjie, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped with his feet and held the basketball with both hands. It seemed that the Nuggets' basket was inevitably ravaged.

"Bang!" This terrifying loud noise almost made Pepsi Center silent. An Jie had just ended the Nuggets' aerial relay with a block, but he started attacking in less than seven seconds, retaliating with the same color!

"Incredible attack! Anjie! This guy has subverted the definition of a seven-foot-sized man!" O'Neal couldn't help but stand up, traditional center!? No, Anjie has surpassed the role of traditional center on the basketball court!

"Retreat! Retreat!" An Jie did not waste time because he scored a wonderful goal. He immediately recruited his teammates to return to defense without slacking off!

The Trail Blazers regained their momentum, but the Nuggets were already fooled by Anjie.

In the next three minutes, Anjie used his repeated attacks to destroy the hearts of Nuggets players.

The entire Pepsi Center was almost destroyed by An Jie's bombing.

Seeing this, Brian Shaw immediately changed an inside team to confront Angel, but what did Darrell Arthur and Mozgov use to stop Angel?

An Jie was so tired that he had to support his knees and rest even during the free throws.

But when he thinks of victory in sight, he will straighten his back and join the battle.

The Trail Blazers' offense has been handled by An Jie, and the Nuggets can only see the gap between An Jie getting bigger and bigger.

Dunk, block, hook, footsteps, shooting...Anjie almost used up everything he knew to fight for victory.

Mike Brin couldn't help but glance at Angel's data on the computer screen, but the strings of numbers made Mike Brin's eyes widen.
Chapter completed!
