The Way of the Center

On the first game day of the new NBA season, fans were impressed by the exciting game.

In the Los Angeles city derby, the Lakers, which was not satisfactory last season, after the departure of Howard and Kobe's season reimbursement, have shown an unexpectedly powerful momentum.

Pau Gasol, who was almost useless by D'Antoni last season, carried the Lakers' banner for the All-Star inside. He did not fear Griffin and Jordan in the game, scoring 15 points and 13 rebounds.

In addition, the new addition to the Lakers, Belgian small forward Xavier Henry's eye-catching performance with 22 points also made the Lakers fans at Staples Center very happy. The return of the Lakers champion Jordan Farmar was also very high-profile. He used 16 points and 6 assists to make Paul feel a headache.

In this way, the Super F4 combination only left Gasol and Nash's Lakers, who unexpectedly defeated the Clippers, which had a full lineup and directed the championship in the first game.

Such a fierce and unexpected duel naturally became the second highest-rated game of the night.

The opening game was another game between the upstart Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference after returning to Rose and the Miami Heat, the Eastern Conference champions last year.

This summer, Pat Riley is as cool as there is no temperature. The Heat only picked up a few league discards in pieces, Oden, Beasley and Mason. In addition, they also pardoned Mike Miller, who played steadily in the playoffs last season, but was a bit regular in the finals. For that difficult to add inside, the Heat did not make any changes.

Because of this, Carlos Boozer scored a full 31 points in the Heat's weak inside line. And Jimmy Butler, who rose strongly during Rose's injury, also scored 20 points in front of the Heat.

It's a pity that the revenge-eager Heat team now only has Anjie and the Blazers in their hearts. other people? It's just a stepping stone to his mother's revenge.

Rose, who returned from injury, was tortured by Wade, who was also injured, so that North could not be found. The Heat also took advantage of their stronger overall strength to win the game 95 to 107.

As for the game with the highest ratings on the day of the opening game, it was a duel between the defending champion Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns have always been considered the biggest dark horse in the West this season, and the Trail Blazers were the biggest winner in the West last season.

Such a duel is enough to attract attention. What's more, there are hundreds of millions of Chinese fans watching this game from far away lands.

Anjie and the Trail Blazers did not disappoint. Unlike the Heat and the Lakers, they kept the game suspense until the end. But just through two and a half quarters, the victory was almost sealed.

Although the game has long lost its suspense, the intensity of the game has not diminished in the slightest. Every confrontation between Plumley and Anjie is so exciting, and there are many more exciting shots in this game than the other two.

Because of this, this refreshing game will become the highest-rated game of the day.

After the game, Anjie also showed off his shiny championship ring to reporters. And this picture has become the news picture of many newspapers and online media today.

Although the first game achieved a hearty victory, Anjie and the Blazers are still being questioned.

The tree attracts the wind, and this Chinese idiom applies even if it is placed on the land of the United States.

The Trail Blazers are a championship team, and naturally there are countless pairs of eyes around the championship team to monitor the whole process. Among these people, some will support the championship like Wu Hua and Bill Walton. But there will always be a few people who do not have good intentions.

Sam Smith, the well-known journalist who forged Liangzi with Anjie last season, pointed out in his column.

"Last night’s game, the Trail Blazers won a big victory. But I will not be happy for An Jie, but ashamed of what he did! 33 to 17, this stat is the two teams yesterday. Total number of fouls. How many times are Anjie’s flops and acting. And how many times are due to the league’s favoritism and protection of the championship team. If the Blazers are really the championship, then they should use it. Win the game with your own strength instead of relying on such crooked ways!"

Although Sam was immersed for a while after being slapped in the face by An Jie last season, a guy like him will never stop. He was able to entangle with Chuck Daly's bad boy army back then, and now, he will also smash to the end with An Jie.

Everything is good and bad, and An Jie has long been accustomed to this day of living in the comments of others.

An Jie didn't care whether it was a good remark to him or Sam who spoke badly to him.

After experiencing a big victory and the journalists' verbal battle, Anjie still got up early the next day, ate the breakfast prepared by Catherine, kissed his wife goodbye, and then drove the somewhat old RX-7. Go out.

He didn't have time to care about those silly remarks, and he didn't have time to compete with these guys. Training, training, training... Anjie always starts training first and finishes training last. Such day after day hard work is the secret of his success.

How hard is it for a center to survive in the NBA? If you want to go to the basketball statistics website of BBR, you will find that among the players registered in the NBA this season, there are only 22 pure centers with no more than four years of playing history. This number is not enough even for 30 NBA teams. For comparison, there are 89 pure defenders and 84 pure forwards.

These young players were told before they entered the league that the position of center is not very popular nowadays, and it is difficult for active centers to get big contracts from capitalists. The team will not build a team around you, even if you build a team around you and give you 40 minutes of playing time, you are still vulnerable to injury. Even an accomplished big man like An Jie has been reimbursed for one year in the season? Last season, didn't An Jie also insisted on playing with injuries?

In such a big environment, the center is no longer a good job. It is not unreasonable that An Jie is called the "last large traditional center". After all, people in the league who play like Yao Ming, O'Neal and An Jie can be counted without a wrench at all, because the number is 0.

Even last season "Black Yao Ming" Roy Hibbert performed like a huge Australian lobster in the Eastern Finals, which left a deep impression on people. But everyone still pays more attention to Paul George’s jump shots, like McGrady’s, and how dark Yao Ming is or how Yao Ming is. People don’t care, because even with Hibbert and Anjie Now, there is no way to stop the fact that the center is doomed to die.

No way, it takes about four years to develop a good center, and it may only take two years to develop a good guard. After all, whether it is consciousness, skill or body, it takes a long time for a center to rise from the NCAA level to the NBA level.

Think of An Jie's first year of playing the NBA when he was easily opened up by others. These difficulties are not unheard of.

In addition, the league has now introduced a series of restrictive rules, from the expansion of the offensive and defensive three-second zone, to the different treatment of the penalty scale for physical contact inside and outside, from the setting of the interference ball to the relaxation of the area defense. These rules all open the door to the outside line and wear small shoes for the inside line.

In such a difficult environment, Anjie became a double MVP and won the championship, but it was not all luck and talent.

An Jie is indeed lucky, he can always meet a group of like-minded comrades in arms. An Jie is also very talented. First of all, his height is something no one else can learn. Second, An Jie's ability to learn is extremely strong, which also allows him to be stronger every season than the year before.

But what supports An Jie to get to this day is his tireless hard work and matching diligence.

It is precisely because of this that An Jie allowed himself to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game faster, and also allowed himself to successfully rectify the name of the center forward.

The remarks of Sam Smith and his colleagues, let them entertain themselves. Now Anjie only has training in his eyes, and of course, only their next opponent, the old rival Denver Nuggets!

※※※

This season, the Nuggets' lineup has undergone a lot of changes. They brought in Nate Robinson, the shortest dunk king who shined in the playoffs last year, and signed back the Russian center Mozgov. Coupled with Darrell Arthur and Anthony Randolph, who are good at shooting, the Nuggets' inside lineup is definitely enough to make other teams in the league look envious.

By the way, the addition of J.J. Hickson, the champion of the Trail Blazers last season, gave the Nuggets a boost.

In the face of such a diverse team of inside players, the new Nuggets coach Brian Shaw will definitely fight Anjie in a wheel-to-wheel battle~www.readwn.com~ He does not expect any of these people to be able to It is still possible to defeat An Jie, but combine the power of all of them to drag An Jie down.

Anjie has started his new day of training at Moda Center, and J.J. Hickson is also training for himself at his new home Pepsi Center.

Additional training, this thing Hickson learned from An Jie. Although he and Anjie have a good relationship, because of this, Hickson is more eager to compete with Anjie in the game.

"I really don't want to meet you so early, old man. But don't worry, I will do my best! I will not let you down in this game!" During the training period, Hickson sent An Jie a text message "War Book".

Another meeting between old friends, another rare insider duel.

Can Brian Shaw's inside group drag down An Jie, and can An Jie survive alone in this long jungle?

The new season is still going on, no matter how hard this center approach is, Anjie will take it one by one!
