The Way of the Center

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"Does the lady need a blanket?" On the plane, a sweet-looking stewardess walked up to Catherine.

Catherine smiled and shook her head, then looked out the window again.

Under the clouds, the prosperity of New York has become farther and farther away from itself. The hustle and bustle finally disappeared. Catherine took a deep breath. Although she has worked in New York for so many years, she really doesn't like this "Big Apple" city.

So now, after a series of work, Catherine is ready to reunite with her husband again. But Catherine is not back to Portland, because Anjie will play away in Dallas tonight.

Catherine knew that when she landed, An Jie might have just finished tonight's game. Therefore, she also told An Jie that she could go there alone.

Catherine smiled happily after touching her belly that was already quite straight. Four months later, her new family will welcome a new member.

"Are you ready to be a father? Ann." The girl with blue pupils began to mutter to herself, there is nothing more worth looking forward to than seeing An Jie again...

"Defense! Defense! Defense!..." While Catherine's plane was still halfway, the Blazers and Mavericks game was in full swing.

At this time, Lillard was sweating and controlling the basketball. Unlike the easy wins in the previous two games in Portland, today, after returning to the home court, Monta Ellis finally ushered in a long-lost outbreak.

His offense made Lillard very difficult to defend, so that Lillard paid more physical energy than usual and could not contain Ellis's scoring momentum.

When a person opens up on the offensive end, his performance on the defensive end will follow. Ellis is now in this state of a virtuous circle. Lillard has just stepped through halftime before being forced to death by Ellis.

Collision, ball protection, sweat spilling on the ground, roar of teammates. All this made Lillard feel very confused in his mind. At the moment when he was unable to concentrate, Monta Ellis stretched out his arm and successfully stabbed the basketball away!

"Steal, Monta Ellis's steal! He won possession of the ball, Ellis moved quickly! Flying dunks! Beautiful defense and offense, Ellis officially let the Mavericks overtake the score!" Mike Boo Lin's passionate commentary added a lot of tension to the game, and the blue ocean on the stand of the American Airlines Center Stadium set off a huge wave. Dallas fans are screaming frantically, and the team's performance made these fans a sigh of disgust.

Before the game, no one could have imagined that the Mavericks, who lost two consecutive games in Portland, could be like this. 108 to 109, with Ellis stealing dunks and succeeding, the Mavericks officially took the lead at a critical moment!

How critical is this moment? Quite simply, the lead with only 40 seconds left in the game, can't it be called the key?

After Monta Ellis scored a goal, he was given a standing ovation by all Dallas fans for the first time.

Vince Carter stepped forward to high-five this unruly boy. At this moment, he seemed to forget that he was the one who scolded Ellis the most in the first two games.

An Jie looked at Ricard, and Ricard waved to An Jie impatiently. This means that Ricard does not intend to call a timeout, he wants to save this last timeout until the real last moment.

"Go and go, attack directly!" Anjie yelled, conveying Ricard's meaning. This crucial goal will be played by Anjie and the others!

Lillard no longer dared to let the basketball stay in his hands. Just stepping on the Mavericks logo in the center of the court, Lillard flicked the ball directly and passed the ball to Iguodala, who came forward.

Facing Vince Carter, Iguodala did not dare to relax too much. Although the guy in front of him even had a gray beard, his hard work was no less than that of any young man present.

Iguodala dribbled the ball cautiously, while Anjie struggled to take a position under Dalembert's desperate struggle.

Dalembert also made a desperate fight today. He has been sparing no effort to smash with An Jie, completely forgetting his health and age.

An Jie had no choice but to push Dalembert a little away with his ass. There is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young on the basketball court. As long as he can win, Anjie must use any means. Even if it is against him, it is a veteran!

Iguodala Octavia’s experience allowed him to see Anjie’s key position and he immediately dropped the ball into the penalty area. Dalembert didn't dare to rush forward to intercept, he was afraid that An Jie would use the opportunity to move his center of gravity forward to complete the turn.

In this way, Dalembert chose one of the most difficult ways to defend, that is head-to-head with An Jie!

An Jie did not give Dalem Potter a chance to breathe. Just after receiving the ball, An Jie immediately leaned back.

This time, not only did Dalembert's chest become stuffy, but it also knocked Dalembert to the ground!

The Dallas fans booed a huge boo, and they thought Anjie was an offensive foul. However, the referee just stood beside Anjie and Dalembert, and he saw it clearly that it was a reasonable collision!

Dalembert fell to the ground in embarrassment, and An Jie took off hard, dunking in Dalembert's desperate eyes.

After the basketball dunked, Dalembert lying under the basket subconsciously covered his face with his hands. Because the dropped basketball would definitely hit him in the face, but a few seconds later, Dalembert felt nothing.

Opening his eyes again, Dalem Potter found that An Jie was holding the fallen basketball in one hand and gently placed it on the floor. That's right, An Jie caught the dropped basketball with his other hand after a successful dunk. He will not show mercy to anyone on the basketball court, but this does not mean that An Jie needs to hurt the opponent in this way.

An Jie scored a dunk and scored his 30th point in the game. 110 to 109, the Mavericks at home have become the lagging side.

The Mavericks fans did not give up, they became more excited. In 25 seconds, the Mavericks have plenty of lore time! Monta Ellis, this guy's good form makes the Mavericks fans full of confidence.

Rick Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout, and this offense was the last chance for the Mavericks. Not the last chance of this game, but the last chance of the entire series.

If you lose this game, the total score of the series will become 3-0. What does 3-0 mean that the Mavericks are determined to be out!

Therefore, this time offense, the Mavericks must grasp it. Monta Ellis has certainly become Carlisle's last choice. Although this team is Dirk's team, Ellis is already the Mavericks' best scoring point.

After the suspension was over, the entire U.S. Route Center Gymnasium boiled over. So far in the series, this is the most proud of the Mavericks.

Nowitz’s base station is on the sidelines, and he will be the Mavericks’ final serve in a moment. Monta Ellis was surrounded by three people, Ricard had no intention of letting Ellis catch the ball at all!

The referee blew his whistle, and Ellis suddenly started trying to break through the wall. But Matthews and Lillard just stayed together. Three seconds later, Ellis still couldn't get rid of the entanglement!

Seeing that it was about to serve overtime, Nowitzki had to pass the ball to the old Spanish defender Jose Calderon.

Although Calderon is experienced, he is by no means a lore. But even so, Lillard had to hurriedly seal it up. After all, Ricard didn't want to be planted on the least dangerous person.

Monta Ellis finally got rid of the entanglement, he quickly ran beyond the three-point line and prepared to respond. Lillard waved his arms in front of Jose Calderon, trying his best to interfere with the passing sight of the Spanish defender.

Calderon took a cautious step before passing the ball. Matthews stretched out his long arm and touched the basketball, but the basketball eventually flew into Ellis's hands.

Taking advantage of the moment when Matthews moved forward to steal, Ellis directly broke through with the ball!

At this time everyone was pulled beyond the three-point line, and Ellis' breakthrough went smoothly. Of course, except for an Angel Ellis guarding the basket, he must find a solution.

Ellis is not the kind of guy who is afraid of hands and feet, he never fears the strong. Sometimes, this will become his advantage, but sometimes, this is precisely the reason why he has been unable to succeed!

Courage is called courage only when it appears at the right time, and it is called reckless when it appears at an inappropriate time.

Ellis suddenly tossed against An Jie. If his toss were as fast as Parker and Curry, it might not be possible for him to actually score. It's a pity that Ellis's shooting speed is too ordinary in An Jie's opinion.

The calf muscles tightened, and An Jie calculated the timing. He lifted his whole body high, with his arms hard, he flew the basketball fan directly beyond the three-point line!

"Volleyball cap! Ellis missed!" The commentary exclaimed, but the game was not over yet.

The basketball flew to the three-point line, but this time it was no longer Iguodala or Lillard who received the basketball, but Vince Carter, who was about to be forgotten!

After Carter received the ball, there was not much time left in the game. Iguodala leaped at the old guy in horror. Carter looked at the timer and at his feet. How long have you not made this kind of ball?

Carter leaped slightly, now UFOs are no longer able to jump like before. His current shooting method can no longer be called a jumper, but a reverse shot.

In addition to dunking, Carter's most powerful point was his three-pointer. This time, can his three-pointers change the game?

Iguodala was sealed, but Carter's basketball has been shot. The timer went to zero and the backboard red light went off. Anjie looked at the basketball, ready to accept the verdict of fate.

When Catherine got off the plane, he found that it was raining heavily in Dallas. Yes, it's early summer now, and in summer, the rainfall is always the heaviest.

Maybe the rain will stop after a while? Thinking of this, Catherine found an empty seat in the airport lobby and sat down. During the period, a few people came to Catherine to sign, but overall, she was not disturbed too much, wearing a cap and sunglasses.

Bored Catherine turned on the phone and read the NBA news. What is going on with Anjie's game? Catherine desperately wanted to know the result.

Entering the NBA official website, the front page headline showed a photo of Carter crying with his face covered.

"Lore defeat! Vince Carter burst into tears!"

"The sorrow of the veteran, the fallen half-man and half-god."

"110 to 109, Carter missed a lore, the series total score became 3 to 0, the Mavericks out of the game is a foregone conclusion."

This piece of news ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is not An Jie, not Ellis, but Carter who has fallen into tears.

Carter now has to accept the fact that he really does not have the ability to change the situation of the game.

"Do you need an umbrella? Miss?" Just as Catherine sighed about Carter's aging and was happy for Anjie's victory, an umbrella was suddenly handed to Catherine.

Catherine looked up, and it turned out to be Anjie.

The two did not speak, but suddenly embraced each other. An Jie changed his clothes after the game and left in a hurry. He didn't even attend the training press conference. And he was in such a hurry to be able to pick up Catherine.

"Why are you here?" Catherine buried her head happily on Anjie's sturdy chest.

"As long as you need shelter from the rain, I will be by your side at any time." Anjie kissed Catherine on the forehead, the victory of the game, the reunion with his wife...
