The Way of the Center

Iguodala raised his hand, indicating that it was his fault. He never expected that Battier, who was 35 years old, could have such a strong desire to attack.

But many commentators still did not regard Battier as one of the Trailblazers' threats. A 35-year-old veteran who can't run fast, jump, and is not strong, how can he fight the young and energetic Trailblazers?

Sure enough, after the Heat's offense, once again became a duo of James and Wade. Today's "Flash" and "Little Emperor" are in very good form, and their jump shots from the middle distance have caused a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers and An Jie.

Anjie didn't dare to rush forward to interfere with Wade and James. If he did that, Bosh, who was prevented from scoring a goal today, would get a chance.

Anjie must protect the rim. He would rather let Wade and James shoot than expose the rim to the opponent's firepower.

What about the Blazers? Anjie is still strong, not only is he strong, but he can also use a wonderful pass to assist his teammate from time to time.

The score became anxious again, and after Battier's three-pointer, the difference between the two sides was once again deadlocked.

Just when everyone on the Trail Blazers was attracted by Wade and James, the unremarkable 35-year-old veteran gave the Trail Blazers a blow again!

In order to force James to shoot the ball, Iguodala intends to complete the encirclement with Aldridge in this defense.

He did not give up on Battier's defense, now Battier is in the left corner, and James is also 45° on the left wing. Iguodala is confident that if James passes the ball, he can immediately rush to Battier to interfere!

James broke through a small step into the free throw line, and at the same time Iguodala and Aldridge both opened their arms around them.

In this case, the shooting is too difficult, James stretched out his right hand to pass the ball, it seems to pass to Bosh.

However, when the basketball was about to be passed, James slammed the ball in the opposite direction and the goal was the left bottom corner!

"Damn it!" Iguodala did not expect James to use a pass fake move. If James passes the ball directly, Iguodala will have time to react. But after using a fake pass, Iguodala was too late to make up for it.

Battier didn't hesitate like he did this time. He shot the ball with confidence.

It's the bottom corner, it's an empty place, and it's at this moment of anxiety. And that basketball also hits again! Everything is as if the script has been written, and the Heat used almost exactly the same way to get Shane to make three-pointers again.

After the goal was scored, the gap of 5 points between the two sides was reduced to 2 in an instant. There is no doubt that the morale of the Heat's players must be very high at the moment.

When the two teams are playing very anxiously, they are afraid that one of the teams will suddenly appear unexpectedly for their opponents.

The seven games of the playoffs will make both sides familiar with each other. Therefore, surprise soldiers will often cause great trouble to their opponents.

In the rest of the second quarter, the two sides still played inextricably. Battier made another three-pointer in the last offense of the second quarter, allowing the Heat to enter the second half with a one-point lead.

47 to 46, Bosh didn't score a goal, Mike Miller was in poor condition, and Ray Allen felt cold. Battier froze with a 3-pointer of 3 shots, leaving the Blazers behind.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. It's the tiebreaker, Spoelstra can still surprise us." Ricard complained to Divac helplessly.

"Don't worry, buddy, at the critical moment, you still have to watch the stars of both sides play. What Battier can do is just let the Heat linger." Divac was very relaxed, and Battier made 3 of 3 shots. Didn’t the player just fall behind by 1 point?

The fact is that the Blazers can score more people than the Heat. Let's say the first five tigers, all of them have the ability to score independently. Where is the Heat? Except for James and Wade, plus chalmers who are a little silly, they can only rely on the 35-year-old Battier.

Maybe the Heat are still happy that they can have new players to stand up, but in Divac's view, this is just a sign that the Heat have been forced into desperation.

In the locker room during the intermission, Spoelstra drew a lot of tactics for Shane Battier who felt hot. He does not have time to correct the players who performed poorly. Maximizing the use of good performers is what Filipinos are doing now.

On the Trail Blazers side, Ricard did not continue to emphasize Anjie's personal offense. He still encourages Anjedo to pass, so that more people can participate in the offense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Spoelstra proved how correct his arrangement was. Because of Bosh's turn-over jumper in the low post, he hit the iron again because of Anjie's interference.

In 4 o's shots, this is the transcript that Bosh, one of the Big Three, got today. Some commentators even began to predict that Bosh would be defeated by Anjie in this game today.

Fortunately, Spoelstra did not continue to waste time on Bosh. He must now grasp the key point. There are some disadvantages, and there is no room for recovery.

The Blazers' offense passed, and Anjie's needle threading in the high post allowed the Blazers to tear apart the Heat's defense in a few clicks.

Finally, with Anjie's off-the-ball pick-and-roll, Iguodala, who cut inside, received a pass from Lillard and hit the basket.

Of course, James will not stop there. He sticks to the back of Iguodala, using his body as much as possible to interfere.

Regardless of the danger, Iguodala resolutely took off and attacked the frame.

Bosh, James and Battier all jumped up to prevent Iguodala from layup. Iguodala was trapped in the air like a bird in a cage.

However, Iguodala, who played steadily, did not have a hot head. In the face of the encirclement, he was in danger and turned into a pass. He passed the ball from the gap between James' waist. Aldridge, who was dropped by James, had all the opportunities to shoot in the open.

"Brush." ​​Aldridge's shooting stability is naturally needless to say, let alone this is still a big open.

Diversified and all-round offense, this is the trouble Spoelstra hopes to bring to the Heat.

The score has been gradually expanded again, James and Wade have appeared outnumbered.

However, just when the Trail Blazers led the Heat by 7 points, Battier made another three-pointer and pulled the Heat back from the edge of the cliff!

"Damn it!" Ricard unwillingly exploded his foul language. Battier would always stand up and put a sneer when people forgot him. The most uncomfortable thing is that Battier's cold gun is deadly!

With 4 of 4 shots, Battier's shooting percentage is still 1oo%. And the 4 goals he scored were all three-pointers!

Imagine how difficult the Heat would face if there were no Battier who suddenly stood up.

But the Heat would sign him at the beginning for this kind of desperate moment!

The fight between the two sides continued until the fourth quarter. During this period, no matter how hard James and Wade worked, no matter how hard Anjie and his teammates worked, neither of them could have a real advantage.

At this moment, Battier's hard work on the court brought to the Heat a contribution that could not be reflected in the data. Defensively defending has become Battier's instinctive choice. He turned his own basket into an inviolable position, and at any time, he would not allow his opponent to break through his base camp. Even if he is 35 years old, it is purely just the years of the Heat's soy sauce bench, but as long as there is Shane, the team has no reason to back down.

With a 35-year-old veteran as an example, others will only feel ashamed if they don’t continue their efforts!

An Jie and his teammates did not expect that the Heat could actually increase their defensive strength in the last minute. Their offensive began to be thwarted, and the morale of the Heat overwhelmed the enemy at home.

The game ended with 2 minutes left, and the Trail Blazers led by two points. But tired of them, the Heat have seen the shaky lead.

James ran wild with the ball, and even Bosh was active in the post. He doesn't want to score on Anjie, he just hopes that he can hold Anjie's defensive pace.

Battier made a simple pick-and-roll for James, and James, who was so red-eyed, went straight into the penalty area without even thinking about it!

Anjie was firmly behind Bosh, Aldridge hesitated, he was afraid that James would suddenly stop the jumper.

However, James is like a tank charging into the battle, directly into the penalty area!

He leaped high, ready to use a dunk to crush the Trail Blazers' weak lead.

However, just when he was about to hold the ball and lift it up, he found that the basketball in his hand was slammed away!

"It's Anjie! Anjie cleanly cut off the basketball in LeBron's hands!" Yu Jia shouted with a flushed face, his voice already very hoarse.

After the basketball was cut, James also inadvertently rubbed. The ball flies out of the baseline. If it goes out of bounds, it must be the Blazers' ball right!

When everyone in the Heat was desperate, Wade suddenly flew! He is not afraid of the sharp camera lenses in the reporter area. The only idea of ​​the "Flash" at the moment is to keep the ball!

Wade saved the ball while being parallel to the ground, and the basketball fell into the hands of Battier!

There was not much offensive time left, and the Blazers players all shrank to the rim. Battier made a three-pointer, this ball is definitely the key to change the situation!

Yao Ming, who was watching the game at home, looked attentive, and he was in a mixed mood. He doesn't want An Jie to be passive, but at the same time he hopes that his old friend Battier will turn the tide again.

Ricard hugged his head with his hands, his head being messed up by himself. The arc of the basketball looked perfect. A few seconds later, the basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high.

An Jie is waiting, no matter how James and Bosh push and push, An Jie will never leave! He must also protect this rebound!

An Jie's eyes widened and jumped up suddenly! But when he was about to touch the basketball, he suddenly flinched. The basketball is still directly above the hoop, which means that this bounced ball will fall into the net!

"Oh, my, god! Shane Battier! Today, Battier saved the Miami Heat!" Mike Brin’s passionate shout made all Heat fans cheer.

James and Wadeli immediately hugged Battier~www.NovelMTL.com~ The game is not over yet, this ball is not a lore. But at this critical moment, a key three-pointer has a gold content no less than a lore.

An Jie picked up the basketball on the ground. God really loves to joke with himself. Finally, Bosh was completely sealed, and finally Ray Allen and Mike Miller lost their touch. But now, another **** Shane appeared.

He grabbed the basketball with one hand, stop joking, how can he lose to the 35-year-old Battier after a hard season!

"Continue to attack!" An Jie yelled and took the baseline.

The game will end in 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the Blazers are temporarily behind by one point. And this is also 1 minute 30 seconds to determine the final ownership of the O'Brien Cup...
