The Way of the Center

Chapter 597: : The bottomless bench

Nicolas Batum was undaunted in front of LeBron James, even if this guy made every breakthrough to make the French miserable.

Batum lost to James last year. He still remembers how desperate the Thunder played in the finals last year. The outside world said that the Thunder was the owner of the future NBA, but the result was easily wiped out by the little emperor.

The saddest people at the time were not only Durant and Westbrook, but Batum, who had just transferred to the Thunder, was also very unwilling. Since then, Batum has been eager to meet James in the finals again. It's just that the French didn't expect that he would get this opportunity so soon.

Seeing Batum's unwavering step, James intends to break through directly. Batum hurriedly moved one step horizontally and got stuck in James' breakthrough route.

This time, he did not let the strong James enter the scenic spot as he wished. At present, the Blazers' inside combination to protect the frame is Hickson and Meyers Leonard. If Batum allows James to break in easily, the basket is very dangerous.

LeBron can be the first man in the league, his perverted body is part of it, but he does not rely solely on his body. Seeing Batum's unwillingness to retreat, James, who has matured, will not go to singles with Batum anymore.

He gave the ball to Ray Allen for a transfer, and he began to do a series of off the ball.

What surprised James, however, was that no matter what technique he used, no matter how he circumvented the pick and roll, the French would follow him in vain.

Batum's fighting spirit in today's game is surprisingly high. To be precise, everyone on the Trailblazers team today has a very high fighting spirit.

If James knew what Anjie said in the Blazers locker room, he wouldn't be surprised by Batum's performance.

With little offensive time left, Ray Allen had to return the basketball to James. After a big lap, James still must be strong!

After a false move with both hands holding the ball to the right, it suddenly seemed to accelerate to the left. James' breakthrough was nothing but a pure burst of power!

Batum was kicked half of his position by James immediately, but the French did not give up, he continued to stick around James to prevent interference.

In the end, under Batum's close pressing, James's forced layup did not hit. And this offense was also the last offense in the first quarter of the tiebreaker.

16 to 20, the Heat trailed by 4 points away. The two sides seem to be evenly matched, but in this kind of game, even if it is 4 points behind, it will make people nervous.

"Good job Batum, good job!" During the break, An Jie took the initiative to greet the teammates who came off the field one by one. Among them, Batum is the person Anjie wants to thank most. It is precisely because of this guy's desperate death that An Jie and other major forces can get a complete rest time.

"Batum played against LeBron in the finals last year. In terms of experience, the Frenchman is second only to Fischer in the Trail Blazers. Just now, Batum did everything he could. The Blazers’ combat effectiveness today is very terrifying, but on the Heat’s side, Mike Miller doesn’t seem to perform his responsibilities very well.” Kenny Smith has detailed data on the first quarter of the game between the two sides. Mike Miller has a three-pointer. The data of 0-for-2 shots looks very eye-catching.

"This is Miller's first start in this year's playoffs. It is normal for him to be unable to find the rhythm for a while. In the end, coach Spoelstra's arrangement is incorrect. The performance." Barkley took over the topic of Kenny Smith. It is reasonable for others to perform well today. In this kind of game, the coaches of both sides generally will not let players who are not sure about playing.

For example, Haslem, although he is the captain of the Heat, today Spoelstra obviously does not intend to give Haslem even a minute. The reason why the Filipino made Miller a starting point is that he hopes he can make a difference.

If Miller's state continues to be depressed, I am afraid Spoelstra will have to give Miller the same treatment as Haslem.

In the heated discussion among the commentators, this inter-festival time passed quickly. At the beginning of the second quarter, Anjie made a violent effort.

He dunked the Heat twice in a row, watching this guy play, can not help but remind Wade of that unstoppable big shark back then.

Speaking of it, the combination of Lillard and Anjie is really a bit like O'Neal and himself as a rookie.

There is no time to express emotion. An Jie scored and Wade could not do anything to An Jie defensively. The only thing he can do is to fill the gap with a fierce attack.

The two sides played exactly the same as they did in the first quarter. However, when the game progressed to the need for others to stand up, Mike Miller dropped the chain again.

Wade endured the severe pain from the knee, and finally broke through the strong Matthews and attracted three people to shrink the defense. However, Mike Miller, who was in a large open after receiving a ball from Wade, missed the ball for the third time!

Anjie protected the defensive rebound and signaled Lillard to advance slowly. At this time, the heat should be anxious!

Lillard did not disobey the order. When the leader of a team convinced everyone, others would not disobey the command of the team boss.

Chalmers was a little afraid to press because he was sifted by Lillard in the first quarter. This guy would rather bet on Lillard's shots now than let the zero guard in front of him break through.

Chalmers gave Lillard a lot of space, and Lillard was not stupid enough to want to "hit the wall." Seeing that Chalmers was not going to pester him, Lillard was relieved. Basketball, once again hit the weakness of the Heat-inside!

An Jie held the ball, and even if Bosh came up to defend immediately, An Jie didn't have any waves in his heart.

Chris Bosh is different from Duncan that Anjie met in the Western Conference Finals, although he is younger, although he is on the stage of the Finals. But Anjie still has to say that he is far worse than Duncan!

Holding the ball, turning around, breaking through, making a fake shot, shaking Bosh, An Jie took off and dunked in place facing the empty basket.

The whole offensive action was completed in one go, without any sloppy. An Jie didn't even use too complicated footsteps or skills, just a series of simple movements that made An Jie easily slam a goal.

The series with Duncan has already promoted the already strong Anjie. After playing Duncan, it's easy for Anjie to play Bosh again.

For the ball just now, if it was replaced by Duncan's defense, An Jie would be stuck and would not even have room to turn around. This summer, if the "Dragon King"'s body supports him, he should really polish himself.

After Anjie dunked the ball, Spoelstra had no choice but to call a timeout. The Trail Blazers' lead has been extended to 7 points, and Spoelstra doesn't want to stop the game when the points difference becomes double digits.

It's no shame to be stopped by an opponent now, as long as you can win the championship, you can't use any method to be excessive.

That being said, it was true, but Spoelstra was battered at the moment. The game is suspended, but it is impossible to stop for a lifetime. Mike Miller is definitely not available. The Philippine coach took a look at the bench. Who else is there? At this critical moment, who else can play with the veterans signed by the Heat?

At this moment, a player with the number "31" printed on his training uniform stood up. Although he hasn't played today, and I don't know if he can still play, this guy is as passionate as his teammates on the field.

He clapped his hands and encouraged everyone. He yelled, as if he was the true leader of this team.

Spoelstra has a bold idea, although it may not be successful, but in such a crucial game, any attempt has his value.

"Sean!" Spoelstra yelled, and the 31st responded immediately, full of energy.

"Sean! Go on the field and play at the third position! Defensively, try to block the opponent as much as possible. Most importantly, I want you to create opportunities on the offensive end!" Spoelstra knew that for such a player, You don't need to say much to him. Such an old ball ruffian knows how to do things that are helpful to the team.

Although he did not play in the last game and today, the Heat players were not surprised that he was about to play.

As long as this guy is on the court, it must be useful. Maybe his data is not gorgeous, but everyone who has partnered with him will say this: "The contribution of some players is by no means only reflected in the data."

On the 31st, he was in danger, but he did not panic. He took off his training uniform unhurriedly and gathered around Spoelstra.

At this moment, Yao Ming, who was watching the finals at home, suddenly straightened his waist. He originally watched this series against Anjie, but he didn't expect that he would wait until this guy to turn the tide.

"You are in trouble, Ann." Yao Ming smiled slightly. He knew that the guy who was about to play was extremely annoying to An Jie, because he was always thinking about good things to destroy his opponent. But for the Heat players, they must like him very much, because he will make your basketball more meaningful.

The timeout ended, and the Heat changed again. His appearance did not attract too many people's attention. What's so scary about an "old man" who can't run and can't afford it? Spoelstra was just rushing to the doctor.

But An Jie doesn't think so. This teammate who once had the best relationship with Yao Ming, even if he is old, will definitely not tolerate Xiao Xu!

Sean Battier, he stepped into the battlefield of young people with his head high!

The Heat began to attack, and Battier's disastrous advancing speed made many Trailblazers fans laugh.

Can this guy still play? Don't be injured by Iguodala.

Facing the suffocating atmosphere of the game and the stronger and faster Iguodala, Battier did not have stage fright. Since entering the NBA, hasn't Battier been challenging an opponent who is stronger than himself?

James and Wade are still doing small-scale cooperation, it seems that the other three of the Heat still can't provide much help to these two giants.

At this moment, Bosh quietly mentioned a high position to go to the pick-and-roll, and Iguodala didn't know it.

"Andre!" Anjie shouted, making Iguodala react. He looked back and saw that Bosh was just blocking him. At the same time, the old and cunning Shane suddenly started, and he ran as hard as he could to slip past the bottom line.

James didn't dare to slack off, he knew how fast the guy Iguodala could make up.

As soon as the ball arrives, Shane Battier takes the position and the basketball flies into his hands. At this time, Iguodala also rushed over with his teeth and claws.

But there was no wave in Battier's heart. He changed his color and calmed down, as if Iguodala was air.

Steady, this is the most terrifying part of Battier.

In the past, an assistant next to coach K once said: "When other players came to college, they were all boys. We must train them to be men. When Sean came to Duke, he was a man. , We make him feel like a little boy."

This guy is born with a more stable personality than his peers, so he can often shoot in interference.

Battier may not be physically as good as before, but he has never played with his body, but now his shots are still as accurate as before.

The basketball crossed Iguodala's fingers, hollowed into the net under everyone's horrified eyes!

"Swipe!" This is Battier's biggest gift to the Heat!

"Three-pointer, Sean Battier's three-pointer! Oh my God~www.NovelMTL.com~ The Heat's bench is really crouching tiger, hidden dragon!" Mike Brin saw Battier hit in a critical moment Three points, I thought I was back ten years ago.

Perhaps the regular season and the first few rounds of the playoffs, these old men on the Heat's bench are very inconspicuous.

But at the edge of the cliff, the fighting power of these old men is incredibly huge!

An Jie clenched his fists and encouraged his teammates to continue their efforts.

In the last game, Anjie has destroyed the last flash chance of the legendary shooter Ray Allen. If necessary, Anjie will let the same disaster happen to Shane.

The score was once again forced to close, and the Trail Blazers also had new problems. This doomed cruel tug of war will continue! Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
