Chapter 843
Chapter 862 : Countdown
After Anjie blocked the opponent’s layup on the field, he immediately launched a long back pass. Lillard drove straight in. The speed of this guy is not inferior to that of his youth.
Facing the defense of the Pistons center Drummond, Lillard was not afraid. He suddenly made a throw during the breakthrough. Drummond slapped the basketball with his abnormal bounce, but there is no doubt that the referee blew a jamming ball and the goal was effective.
“A beautiful counterattack, An Jie’s long pass is still so penetrating. This hand job, young people can’t do it now.” The commentator began to admire An Jie, a veteran who is 36 years old. Humans, and can control the rhythm of the game so well on the court.
Under Anjie’s influence, all the young centers in the league today are very versatile. But in Jeff Van Gundy’s view, none of them can match Anjie.
Lillard smiled and ran back to the half-court defense, and gave Anjie a cordial high-five. At this time, the beard on Anjie’s face had become a thick piece, and he also kept long hair, tied it behind his head.
Although the Trail Blazers have not won a championship for several years, every time Anjie plays, the fans are always very excited. Because of them, they are watching a living legend perform on the court.
An Jie stood up, ready to start the next round of defense. He strives to enjoy every minute and every second of his on the court, because only he knows that for him, the NBA game is one round less than one round…
Drummond leaned on An Jie and raised his hand for the ball. The guy leaned back hard, and An Jie was forced to take a step back.
An Jie gritted his teeth and insisted, then posted it again. Now, An Jie can’t accept the old. In the past, Drummond had to dare to hit himself with the back, it was simply seeking his own way. But now, An Jie can’t continue to bear this powerful impact.
But the 36-year-old stubborn “old man” didn’t plan to give up, even if Drummond’s violent impact would make An Jie’s chest hurt. But this guy didn’t give Drummond any chance from beginning to end!
Drummond pushed it a few times, and although he advanced a little, the effect was minimal. There was no way, he had to make a hook before the time limit for back hitting expired.
An Jie took off abruptly, but in fact he couldn’t get up much anymore. An Jie is not a player known for his athletic ability. When he was young, he could rely on training to make up for his shortcomings. But now that his body has slipped, An Jie has become a floor-flow center through and through.
However, Drummond’s hook was not easy. An Jie pushed Drummond with a slight force, which made his shot very uncomfortable. In addition, Anjie’s interference was also very strict, which disrupted Drummond’s rhythm.
Small moves and just the right interference, this is what a veteran can bring to the team on the defensive end.
Drummond’s hook kicked out, and Anjie immediately turned and stuck in position, steadily protecting the defensive rebound.
“Even though he is 36 years old, he is still one of the best insiders in the league! Look at Anjie’s performance in these two rounds, he is still as good as he was when he was 26!” O’Neal looked at the player who was blocked by himself. No. 00 outside the gate of the playoffs, unknowingly, the kid has become an old ghost.
An Jie wanted to start a long backcourt pass again, but Ricard suddenly called a timeout when An Jie grabbed the rebound. An Jie put down his basketball and slapped his teammates one by one. Ricard also greeted him and patted An Jie’s ass.
“It’s time to rest, Ann.” Ricard called this timeout for the purpose of not only arranging tactics, but also hoping to replace An Jie off the field on time.
An Jie had no objection, just nodded slightly. Yes, I am 36 years old. 36 years old, must strictly control playing time. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t even hold on to this last season.
An Jie rests off the court, but the camera lens always closes him up from time to time. The other ten players struggled **** the court, but the topic of the commentators always changed to Anjie from time to time. The words “Angel Center” are printed on the floor of the Trail Blazers’ home court. At the gate of Anjie’s center, there is a statue of Anjie when he blocked his opponent.
Yes, even if An Jie leaves, the city is still full of An Jie’s mark.
Five minutes later, An Jie was back on the battlefield. When he was on the field, the shaking cheers in the Anjie Center made all the players on the field envious. What can a professional player want to achieve An Jie’s step?
He has the supreme honor, he has a group of fans who love him. He even directly owns the city of Portland.
The 36-year-old An Jie did not slack off the game. Although it was the last season, An Jie did not intend to be sloppy. On the basketball court, An Jie is never casual.
He leaned on the younger and more powerful Drummond inside to ask for the ball. Drummond pushed Anjie out, but the veteran stood firm and did not back down.
After holding the ball, An Jie did not slack off, he first stepped up to the left, seemingly wanting to turn around and make a breakthrough.
Drummond reacted immediately, moving one step horizontally to completely seal the small space.
But soon, An Jie changed his steps again and turned in the opposite direction. But at the age of 36, his footsteps are not as fast as before. Drummond reacted quickly and completed the blockade again.
Just when everyone thought this old guy was finished, An Jie changed direction again, arched under Drummond’s raised arms, and easily picked the basket.
“Boom!” Anjie Center is boiling again, and all the fans who are watching the game are boiling again. An Jie, used his iconic dream dance step to swing Drummond away and successfully scored.
Although An Jie’s dance steps are not as fast as before, although it will be very difficult for An Jie to use the dance steps to sway the opponent. But anyway, this veteran did it!
“Textbook-like footsteps under the basket! An Jie has too many precious treasures!”
Olajuwon, who was watching TV, never thought that he just wanted An Jie to pass on his skills. But An Jie surpassed himself in one fell swoop. Before Anjie, Olajuwon dared to say that his footsteps in the basket were the best in the world, but now, Olajuwon can only rank second.
After Anjie scored a goal, the Trail Blazers continued to suppress the Pistons. Drummond, who gave the equalizer, chose a straightforward turn-over jumper on the offensive end, but unfortunately, An Jie blocked Drummond’s wish.
An Jie became more excited as he fought, and became more energetic as he fought. His dominance on the court also reappeared once again.
“Is it time for Ann to end? His playing time has exceeded the original plan.” Ricard’s assistant coach reminded him that Divac had left the Trail Blazers two years ago to become the general manager of the Kings. Up. Although the king once treated An Jie unrighteously, it was an old thing after all. And Divac could not refuse the position of general manager.
Now the assistant coach of the Trail Blazers is also from ncaa, who was selected by Ricard himself.
Facing the reminder from his assistant, Ricard just waved his hand. “Let this guy fight for a while, let him fight for a while…”
In the end, under Anjie’s return to peak performance, the Trail Blazers defeated the now-rising Pistons 111-120.
And Anjie scored 28 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks in a terrible double-double. Looking at the victory and horror data he created himself, An Jie smirked at the big screen. Basketball is so fun. Damn time, why does it pass so fast…
Today, An Jie seems to be in a very good mood, because when facing the besieged reporters, he actually patiently answered everyone’s questions.
After returning to the locker room An Jie also continued to put a smile on his face. And today, An Jie is also ready to announce something that will be known to others sooner or later with a good mood. So first of all, let’s start with your teammates.
“Guys.” As soon as An Jie spoke, the locker room became quiet immediately, and everyone’s attention was focused on him.
“Today’s game we played very enjoyable, we work hard together, strive to win more!” An Jie said, the locker room immediately burst into noise, everyone talked and laughed, and high-five each other.
“One more thing, I must tell everyone.” The noisy locker room became quiet again.
“After playing this season…After playing this season, I plan to rest.”
“Resting?” Ricard’s heart was pounding, what Anjie said about rest, shouldn’t…
“Hey, after this season, boss. I…I plan to retire.” An Jie’s tone was very calm.
The Blazers locker room can no longer remain quiet…
