The Way of the Center

Chapter 40 : Win or lose here

“Before the game, we all knew that Anjie and Brook Lopez were bound to have sparks in this game, but what we did not expect was that the Stanford Crimson team would actually be so close to the Iowa State University Cyclone team. The last minute of the game was left. The score on the court was 77. The first round of the top 64 was so exciting. I can’t imagine what the next game will be like.”

The commentator sat relaxed on the commentary stage and enjoyed the game, while the players tightened their nerves one by one.

The Tornado team had three turnovers in this game, while Stanford University had eight turnovers! The Tornado team seized the opportunity to fight back five times. This data may be the culprit that put them into a hard fight now.

“Transmit the ball patiently and carefully. We can’t make a mistake in the last minute!” Larry Miles showed a finger.

“Brook, don’t be anxious. Slowly fight that kid on the inside, and your teammates will give you space!” Brook Lopez nodded, thinking about what Anjie would use later. Way offensive.

“Last moment! To his dark horses and grassroots, our *** is a strong team! You have to prove this at the last minute!” Ricard is not self-expansion, his cyclone team does prove it Has gained his own strength.

The timeout is always so fast, and the performance of the cheerleaders on the court does not relieve the tension. The players walked back to the court again, and the minute they decided to stay began.

Kelly Foster has a very slow pace of possession. Now he doesn’t care about any gaps and moves. He must first make no mistakes.

card position, push, circumnavigation, and then card position…The war between the two center forwards has already begun before the ball is received.

Cautious Foster stopped two steps away from the three-point line. Mike Taylor, who was in front of him, also lowered his weight and opened his arms. At such a critical moment, only one ball can determine success or failure. As a defender, he dare not care.

Robin Lopez mentioned a high post to give Foster a pick-and-roll, but Mike Taylor dexterously avoided Robin wearing an explosive head. He did not allow Foster a breakthrough.

Looking at Brooke, who was entangled with Anjie inside, Foster didn’t dare to pass the ball rashly. He still needs to advance a little bit, and now he can’t do things that he is not sure about.

Foster made a few swaying crotch dribbles and then kicked the ground suddenly, Mike Taylor immediately pushed up, he was much stronger than Foster in terms of strength.

But Foster didn’t intend to break through by himself, he just wanted to get as close as possible to Brook Lopez. In the middle of the breakthrough, Foster used a ground pass to feed the ball steadily into Brook’s hands. All right! This is the end of his mission, and now all he needs to do is make room for Brooke.

Brook Lopez received the ball, Ricard and Larry Miles both stood up from the bench. An Jie immediately felt that his pores all over his body had been enlarged, and he was finally here!

Brook Lopez tentatively moved his steps after taking the ball, making it unpredictable whether he was going to push back, turn around or retreat.

Angel knows how powerful Brook Lopez’s footsteps are, but even if he risks being shaken, he has to constantly change his defensive position along with Lopez’s movements. This kind of guy is a touch. You can’t leave him any space!

Push in! Wander to the right! Anjie started to move with Brooke’s footsteps.

Take a step back! The shooting action has been made! An Jie didn’t dare to jump off rashly, but just put his hands up.

There was no immediate action. The moment An Jie posted it, Brook jumped up to meet An Jie’s body!

“Want to commit a foul!?” An Jie saw Brooke’s intentions. This trick Brook Lopez has been tried and tested on other players, but the basketball IQ of the Chinese in front of him is no worse than him.

An Jie stopped his footsteps immediately, but fortunately, he was afraid that he didn’t pounce fast, otherwise the ball would really hit him.

“Damn it!” Brook Lopez’s goal was for fouling from the beginning. Now that he has made such an awkward shooting position and the opponent has not been fooled, the hands raised by An Jie have indeed interfered with him. Sight. Brook, who had already jumped in the air, had to reluctantly make a shot, even though Anjie was well guarded, he could see Ricard’s heart beating wildly after the basketball shot.

The basketball did not deviate too much from the basket. Brook’s soft touch ensured the direction of the basketball’s flight.

The basketball hit the hoop and bounced straight into the air. When the basketball fell for the second time, it still knocked to the hoop. Now no one knows how the ball will turn out. This up-and-down basketball seems to be deliberately teasing the more than 10,000 spectators and players in this stadium.

The third time the basketball fell, and this time its landing point deviated slightly.

Robin Lopez’s rebounding ability was originally stronger than Brook Lopez, and Robin’s offensive rebound was better. He had been waiting at the basket long ago, the basketball did not fall and he has not jumped rashly.

“It’s now!” Robin jumped up from the ground after seeing the basketball’s movement trajectory. This time the basketball didn’t touch the basket again. Robin Lopez picked up the rebound firmly with both hands.

There is not much offensive time left, Robin can’t take care of that much. After landing, he quickly took off twice, ready to end the game with a slam dunk.

Both hands are getting closer and closer to the basket. Robin Lopez has accumulated enough energy to wreak havoc on the basket in the next second.

Robin puts his arms on! The ball slammed into the basket.

“Boom!” The basket made a loud noise, but the basketball did not fall into the net!

Anjie successfully prevented Robin’s dunk at the last moment. He did not fear Robin’s huge power, but bravely stretched out his palm to block between the ball and the basket.

Anjie and Robin Lopez’s huge force squeezed the basketball to fly a long way. Now there are four people waiting at the landing site to compete for the basketball that was flying out of the cover.

Mike Taylor, despite the danger, took Kelly Foster struggling to take off, and then clicked the ball back into the air.

At this time, more and more people are joining the teams fighting for the ball. Only the four highest insides of the two teams are not involved. They are always ready to deal with sudden attacks or defenses.

In the end, Anthony Ben struggled to get the ball down with one jump. After landing, he immediately faced countless double-stretched arms. Stanford University did not dare to foul, and the Cyclone players immediately dispersed, ready to accept the pass and turn the defense into an offense.

There is no doubt that Stanford University used the full-court press. Anthony had no good passing route. He could only dribble the ball hard under the interference of the opponent.

With 25 seconds left before the end of the game, Anthony Ben bumped the ball through the opponent’s half. Brook Lopez immediately walked around to defend Angel, while Robin was not far away ready to come back to help defend.

Taylor struggled to run out of a gap and received a pass from Anthony Ben. Now, the initiative is in the hands of the Tornado team.

Mike Taylor has received Foster’s meticulous “care”. Now he can’t pass the ball to Anjie in any way, he can only find another way!

Taylor stepped back a few steps, Foster did not dare to grab, so he could only observe Taylor’s movements horizontally in front.

“Cruz!” Mike Taylor saw the shooter raising his hand in the corner for the ball. Cruz had just slipped past the baseline, and the crowded penalty area slowed down his confrontation.

one of the few opportunities! Mike Taylor passed the ball to Cruz in the corner with both hands, but the timing was still a little late.

Cruz took off and shot. The Stanford shooting guard followed up and blocked.

The moment the basketball flew out, the four insiders were standing by the basket. But at the moment the Lopez brothers have put Anjie and Asaginka out well, and this rebound looks like they are bound to win.

This was originally a key ball. Cruze was under a lot of pressure, and coupled with the interference from the opponent, he made this shot a little stronger. The basketball didn’t enter the net as hollow as before, but knocked out of the box!

The basketball bounced a little far because of excessive strength, and the Lopez brothers, who were stuck inside, stood in a disadvantageous position instead.

Five seconds! Anjie jumped high and grabbed the rebound before Brooke.

Four seconds! An Jie landed to hold the ball, Brook raised his hands and pressed it up, covering An Jie completely.

Three seconds! An Jie turned and took off on one foot. In order to avoid the cover, he had to lean back as much as possible.

Two seconds! An Jie shot the ball, Brook did not dare to foul and therefore did not take off, so the basketball was able to brush Brooke’s fingertips and fly to the hoop.

Due to his height, An Jie was too tall and his center of gravity was unstable when he leaned back too much. He fell directly to the ground, and he couldn’t see the ball at all. Everyone in the audience stood up, Wu Hua raised his hands in advance, eager for the basketball to get into the net.

One second! The orange basketball hit the backboard and then bounced into the net obediently.

“Boom!” The stadium was overturned by cheers in an instant, and countless people stood up in this second, raising their arms high.

An Jie fell to the ground and didn’t know if the fans cheered because they scored a goal or because they missed the ball.

But when he saw Mike Taylor dancing on his body, he finally knew the result.

“Angel! Lore! Lore! Lore! Great Chinese! Great center! Angel bless Iowa State!” Paul Philips almost climbed to the stage of understanding, fortunately Bill has been pulling beside him. Live him.

“We advanced! Thirty-two! Because of you! Because of you!” Mike Taylor shouted excitedly in Angel’s ear Then the other teammates of the Tornado team joined the team of Arhats. . Cruz, Ben, C.J. Fortes, Joey Kyle, and finally, Byrne Asakin, who was the heaviest, drove a man on the top.

After the goal, Ricard also rushed into the court excitedly, but was hugged by Asakin and pressed down with him.

Brook Lopez immediately slumped to the ground when he saw the basketball hit the net. He buried his head between his hands, and the liquid flowing from the gap between his fingers did not know whether it was sweat or tears…

First he lost UCLA by three points, and now he was eliminated by the Cyclone. Brook was not reconciled. Why God loves to make such jokes with him. His college basketball career is over, and this **** lore put an end to his college basketball career.

Robin Lopez did not react as much as his brother. He just looked at the crowd of Cyclone team not far from him with his hands on his hips blankly. This does not mean that Robin doesn’t care about losing, but the difference in their personalities makes their behavior so different.

“Go, brother.” Robin stretched out a hand to Brooke who was sitting on the ground. “We should go to the NBA.”

None of these pictures escaped Wu Hua’s camera. Loser, winner, excited, painful, he saved all the pictures. This set of contrasting photos has become the most precious part of Anjie’s basketball career.

Crazy confrontation.
