The Way of the Center

"Ohhhhhhhh, a very good low-post single. Ann has been very strong offensive from the second quarter. Now, let's see how James will play and respond."

More than half of the game was played in the second quarter, and Anjie well completed the scoring task given to him by Ricard. Even if James personally defended An Jie, he still couldn't stop An Jie's footsteps.

Able to pass James, let alone a center, even many perimeter players can't do this. An Jie's back-body skills have really become the top presence in the league.

Even James himself began to go to the Olajuwon training camp for special training. Among them, Anjie's performance is the place that impresses James the most. Back then, Olajuwon took the initiative to accept the disciple An Jie, which really achieved results. In recent years, the business of the Olajuwon training camp has been getting better and better, and even stars such as James and Anthony have signed up. If there is no Anjie, the Olajuwon training camp cannot be so convincing.

One-on-one defense An Jie failed to prevent, James intends to vent all his suffocation on the offensive end. James has performed very well so far, and he has repeatedly responded with difficult goals in the face of Anjie.

This time, James was also unwilling to show weakness. Gerald Wallace’s pre-game worries became a reality. In the face of LeBron James, the former Bobcats All-Star has nothing to fight back.

At the small forward position, Gerald Wallace has always been the stronger one. But today, his physical strength is useless in front of James. How could Gerald Wallace be able to cope with a guy who even struggled with Anjie.

James didn't use extra skills at all, but a simple change of direction before going straight into the penalty area.

That kind of simple body front change can't blind Gerald Wallace at all. "Elvis" accurately judged the direction of James' breakthrough, and wanted to use his chest to withstand James' impact.

He did, too, and for someone else, Gerald Wallace was a defense against this goal. But in the face of James, Wallace was directly crushed!

Even if he guessed the trajectory of James' breakthrough, he couldn't stop James from advancing. James is like a heavy tank. Although there is a small armored vehicle in front of him, he can still directly ignore the obstacles in front of him and drive straight to the basket.

Easily rushed past Gerald Wallace's defense, but James didn't feel a trace of pride in his heart. He knew that facing the Blazers, the real difficulty of offensive was after the breakthrough. How to deal with Anjie behind Gerald Wallace is where James really needs to spend his time.

Sure enough, James had just gritted his teeth and broke through. As soon as he looked up, he saw Anjie returning to the basket "on time".

Seeing a heavy tank rushing towards him without any reduction, An Jie did not take a step back. No matter who it is, as long as he dares to step into the three-second zone, he will stick to it!

James continued to rush towards the basket, Anjie also raised his arms and was ready to accept the impact. Just when the comet collided with the earth was about to occur, the orange basketball suddenly flew to the outside.

James' breakthrough attracted the attention of almost all Trail Blazers players, even An Jie, did not direct the defense of his teammates in time. Because his attention is also all on James.

Watching the basketball flying past his eyes in astonishment, An Jie cried out inwardly. Because the person waiting to receive the ball in the open position is also a guy who should not be ignored.

The guard wearing the Heat’s black away jersey received a basketball from James. Although his three-point shooting rate has been criticized by the outside world, it does not mean that he is not sure of such an opportunity.

He took off and shot, and his posture was a bit hard. It can be seen that he is not a shooter, but even so, Jamal Crawford still tried his best to interfere with the jump. The answer to why the Blazers team is so nervous about a guy who doesn't shoot three-pointers is simple, because this guy's name is Dwyane Wade.

"A big open opportunity! LeBron James' breakthrough point made everyone in the Trail Blazers cheated!" With Mike Brin exclaimed, Wade's three-pointer also hollowed into the net. This is Wade's first three-pointer today and also the first time he has hit a three-pointer. This guy may not be very good on three-pointers, but it is still not allowed to give him a big open.

"For the Trail Blazers, don't forget, LeBron is not the only dangerous man on the Heat."

The Big Three of the Heat refer to more than just James. Today, Bosh played very embarrassed under the alternate care of Anjie and Aldridge, completely failing to show the role that a giant should have. But Wade has been scoring silently. Perhaps it is because James is too dazzling, which caused people to ignore Wade's performance. But in fact, Wade's condition today is also very good!

"This is not easy..." Ricard hugged his hands and thought. An Jie tried his best, but he could only restrain James a little. But if Wade stood up again at this time, it would be that An Jie had two hands and couldn't be too busy.

As the so-called fear comes, Ricard hasn't figured out a countermeasure yet, and Wade once again created a kill in the Blazers' inside.

With the increase in age, Wade's breakthrough degree has long been worse than that of the past, and his power of lost track has also greatly decreased.

An Jie still remembers that in his rookie season, Wade used a stray step to make himself clean. At that time, even as Wade's opponent, Anjie was full of amazement.

But now, Wade's lost steps can no longer be mentioned as before, and naturally it is impossible to complete the breakthrough as beautifully as before. However, there are slow ways to play slow. Now Wade can use his breakthrough footsteps to make frequent fouls, and Anjie became the first victim.

An Jie originally thought that it was enough to block Wade's breakthrough. He did not expect that Wade's lost step was not to avoid the big defender as before, but to take the initiative to lean on the big defender.

In the course of the defender's breakthrough, if the big defender has a trace of suspicion of infringing on the offensive side, the referee will not hesitate to call the penalty. This time, there are no exceptions.

Although Wade was not allowed to score directly, Anjie's defense was almost equivalent to failure. Wade was not allowed outside the three-point line, but it was very stable at the free throw line. Two free throws were made. The two sides who were originally tied immediately had a five-point gap due to Wade's three-pointer and free throw.

The role of the Trail Blazers immediately became a chaser. Regardless of the small difference in the score, the psychological changes against both sides are very rich. Now, more pressure is on the Blazers' side at home.

This is the role of the star. To make a gap in an anxious and difficult game is enough to change the situation of the game. Even though Bosh was restricted very badly today, James and Wade were enough for Anjie and the others to drink a pot.

Fortunately, Anjie's momentum on the offensive end has not stopped. Under Spoelstra's defensive principle of no double-teams, Anjie has almost no obstacles.

In the face of Joe Anthony, Anjie can use his skills and flexibility to easily find opportunities. Facing Bosh, Anjie can directly use O'Neill's crushing style to attack wildly.

The offensive performance of Aldridge and Wesley Matthews, like Angel, was not affected.

Therefore, although the Heat suddenly took off in the second quarter, the score was still not opened much. 55 to 5o, the Heat entered the locker room with a mere five-point difference.

"Ann, continue to stick to the basket! Both James and Wade are the kind of players who like to break through and shoot close to the basket." Ricard does not expect James and Wade to be locked out on the outside. , Looking at the entire league, no one can do this. He can only place his hopes on An Jie, and only the barrier formed by An Jie can become the most feared obstacle for James and Wade.

On the offensive end, the Blazers must also rely on Anjie to operate. How about saying that Anjie is the core? He must be on both ends of the offense and defense for the Blazers to play at their level.

"If Spoelstra still doesn't double-team, you will make the Filipino regret making this choice! If he double-doubles, LaMarcus and others, I hope Anjie can get help in time!"

"Don't worry, I'm ready to score at any time." Courtney Lee loves to support this kind of thing.

"The difference is only five points, defend firmly, strengthen offense. Let's go, go on the court, let me continue fighting!"

Under Ricard's arrangement and instigation, the Trailblazers who fell behind at halftime were not discouraged, but instead they played more vigorously.

Especially Anjie, he has used two fierce defenses in this quarter to force James and Wade to choose to shoot outside.

While on the offensive, Bosh's Bosh was overturned by Anjie "in accordance with the rules" one after another ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The competition became fiercer and the physical contact increased. After an easy eight-game winning streak, James certainly did not expect that they would encounter such a tenacious resistance today.

Looking at this situation, the third quarter of the game wants to open the score is just a fantasy. So Ricard and Spoelstra tacitly changed their main players one or two minutes the day before yesterday, allowing the rotation players to resist this time first.

When it comes to the second team, the Heat are not even worse than the Trail Blazers. Courtney Lee's three-pointer allowed the Blazers to narrow the gap, and Jamal Crawford's breakthrough allowed the team to reverse the score.

When the third quarter ended, the score became 78 to 78, and the two sides drew!

The weak advantage that Wade and James finally built up is simply too much to withstand scrutiny. If you want to tell the winner, you can only wait until the end of the game!

In the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, An Jie was ready to turn the tide. But James and Wade will not let him easily succeed.

No matter who wants to win, both sides have to pay a lot of sweat. This game is not easy for everyone.
