The Way of the Center

Chapter 705: : Close at hand

The golden O'Brien Cup. Before the start of today's game, Ricard went to the team's showroom and saw the dazzling O'Brien Cup.

There is only one trophy in the huge showroom, which is too lonely. If the O'Brien Cups placed there are a pair or more, this showroom will definitely be more dazzling.

So at the beginning of the game, Ricard was a little worried when he saw James and Wade's aggressive momentum. But after Anjie scored, Ricard's heart suddenly sank. An Jie is on the court to stay steady, no problem!

"Champion! Hold on for another 48 minutes, we are the world champion! But now, we have to play these 48 minutes!" After the goal, Anjie did not celebrate, but immediately turned around and gave orders on the court.

Leading the Heat 3 to 1, the O'Brien Cup has been moved to the doorstep. These things have made the players and fans of the Trail Blazers feel a little airy.

But only Anjie can see the situation clearly, and the Heat, who are unwilling to fail, will not surrender on the road. Even if they lose, the Heat won't let the Trail Blazers win the trophy easily.

"Ball! Ball!" James raised his arm and shouted just as Chalmers received the baseline ball.

James urgently needs the ball right now. The only thing he thinks about at the moment is how to attack the basket and how to score.

Although Chalmers does not like James, he will not delay the entire team for personal grievances. After all, he Chalmers is also a professional player.

James got his wish and got the basketball just two moves away from the three-point line. Iguodala stays inside and outside the three-point line. Looking at James' state today, I guess he will be playing very hard.

However, what Iguodala did not expect was that after James came outside the three-point line, he actually took off and shot!

No organization, no passing, no breakthrough. James just jumped up straight, ready to shoot!

Iguodala did not expect James to do this at first, after all, this is not a reasonable play. When Iguodala, who was a little far away from James, pounced on, the basketball in James' hand had already been shot.

People say that James' three-pointers are not very good, but sometimes, James will make three-pointers very unreasonable. This seemingly reckless shot actually hits directly!

James scored again. It seems that today's "little emperor" is not only imposing, but the state and feel are also very hot.

"Offensive! Offensive! Offensive!..." Although James scored very well, the enthusiasm of Moda Center fans was not extinguished.

Accompanied by the drum beats played by the live dj, the fans rhythmically yelled the word "offensive".

"Stay steady and play slowly. They can't always score goals in that way!" An Jie pressed his hands down, motioning his teammates to calm down and take his time. James' unreasonable goals cannot be the dominant player in the game. Only the side that really controls the rhythm of the game has more hope of winning.

In order to personally grasp the team's offense, Anjie took the initiative to mention the mid-range position this time. He intends to take over the organization right from Lillard and become the brain of the team.

As soon as Anjie had the ball in the middle distance, Chris Bosh posted it without reservation.

The two started a fierce confrontation from outside the free throw line, and Bosh almost stuck on Anjie. If Anjie avoids the game in time, he and Bosh may have kissed each other several times.

In such extreme conditions, Anjie is neither good at breaking through nor passing the ball. Seeing that Bosh was so close to himself, Anjie also had some crooked ideas.

Just when Bosh accidentally rubbed An Jie's nose with his elbow, An Jie suddenly had an idea, and suddenly dropped the basketball, covered his nose with both hands, and fell to the ground in pain.

Robin, who had been with An Jie for a season, also understood, he rushed to An Jie anxiously. In this "cooperation", Robin played the role that fanned the flames.

Bosh opened his arms innocently, but the three on-duty referees played back in slow motion and did see the whole process of Bosh's elbow hitting Anjie.

Bosh did meet An Jie, and this, coupled with An Jie's performance, was enough to convict the "Dragon King".

"Damn it! You are protecting the defending champion like this, right? Anyway, the championship trophy has been moved over, and you plan to finish it today, right!?" Bosh, who has never been easy to lose his temper, rushed to the referees. Yelling, this is also the good temper of the three referees. If someone changed someone, a technical foul would have been blown out a long time ago.

Instead of arguing with the referee, James pulled Bosh away to comfort his teammates. Reasonable use of rules is also part of the basketball court. James knows the truth well, because he has also benefited from it.

Bosh fouls and the Trail Blazers re-send the touchline. And Anjie can be regarded as getting rid of the entanglement with Bosh.

Since Aldridge is not on the court, Robin Lopez's passing ability is very limited. So now, the task of serving the sideline ball naturally falls on An Jie.

This guy An Jie went to the sidelines so that Bosh couldn't interfere with him. The players of the Trail Blazers immediately interspersed their positions. They knew that there was only a chance, and An Jie could get the ball into their hands!

With Robin Lopez's pick and roll, Wesley Matthews successfully slipped the bottom line and got a fleeting shot from the corner.

But the only bad thing is that Matthews' current position is on the opposite side of Anjie's serve. If Anjie wants to get the ball into Matthews' hands, he must let the basketball span the entire half court safely.

There is no time to hesitate, and Wade is about to get rid of the entanglement over there. So An Jie put the ball behind his head and flicked his hands!

"It's big! This ball must be big!" When Charles Barkley saw Anjie pass the ball in this way, the first reaction was that Matthews could not catch it!

"Good opportunity!" On the other side, Jeff Van Gundy clapped his hands in applause. Because this guy who developed An Jie's organizational ability knows better than Barkley how terrifying An Jie's passing ability is.

Sure enough, this powerful pass did not fly too high. On the contrary, because An Jie's force is so strong, the flying speed of this basketball is very fast.

When Matthews received the basketball, Wade hadn't fully jumped on it.

Can't wait any longer, wait a second, this opportunity will be completely obliterated by Wade! Matthews immediately started to shoot, and Wade's interference still made Matthews' shooting rhythm a little unstable.

An Jie immediately rushed from the sideline to the basket, but Bosh turned a block and locked An Jie out of the rebounding range.

But what everyone did not expect was that after hitting the side of the basket, the basketball fell into the net for the second time!

Matthews hit a three-pointer and Anjie offensively. The Blazers and the Heat still have no difference!

"Good job, good job, let's go on, go on!" Anjie clapped his hands vigorously, but Bosh was still cursing for the foul just now.

The subtle changes in the psychology of the players of the two teams are already slowly taking place.

Originally, the Heat wanted to use the strength after the opening to suppress the rhythm, and then open the score. As everyone knows, after the Trail Blazers took up a tough attitude of resistance, the first discouraged party was actually the Heat themselves.

In the next few minutes, the Heat and the Trail Blazers played hard. Looking at the performance of the Heat, people really can't imagine how the total score became 3-1.

However, after a few minutes of enthusiasm, the Heat immediately revealed their shape.

Wade and Bosh frequently miss the offensive end, and Chalmers' undecided pass often makes the team missed opportunities. What about Lewis? He was so guarded by Robin that he didn't even have a chance to shoot, let alone score a goal.

Seizing the Heat's downturn, Anjie's organization allowed the team to hit the Heat with a super high shooting rate. On the Heat's side, only James' singles can solve the problem.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led 22 to 29. An Jie sent five assists in a single quarter, and James bit the game with 17 points in a single quarter.

"This is the ultimate showdown between individual heroic basketball and team basketball! For the time being, LeBron's individual is at a disadvantage for the time being!"

"Do you think LeBron doesn't want a good team? It's just that the current Heat makes him have to stand up and do it alone!" This time, Jeff Van Gundy stood up and said something for James. James really doesn't want to play singles by himself, but this is the only way for the Heat.

During the break, fans sang the song "We are the Champions" in the stands of Moda Center. This huge voice is estimated to have spread throughout Portland!

"Listen, listen! The first quarter of the game has passed safely, we are only three quarters away from the O'Brien Cup. Don't be discouraged, we must keep it, don't be discouraged! The crowd outside can't wait to see us holding it up It's the O'Brien Cup, we can't let them down, let us down!" Ricard pointed out the door. At this moment, even the door of the locker room with excellent sound insulation can't stop the spread of this song.

The loud singing of the fans brought more energy to the Blazers players, but it also made the Heat more irritable.

No matter how hard they work, the Heat's Big Three are just a foil for the Trail Blazers to defend their title.

Spoelstra does not have much to do to boost morale, because even the Filipinos themselves are about to lose confidence.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anjie and Lillard ignited the audience with a beautiful aerial relay. But soon, James used another unreasonable three-pointer to return the color.

"It's okay, drag him down, drag him down!" Ricard clapped his hands vigorously from the sidelines, and the rest of the Heat were no longer threatened. As long as James is brought down, the Trail Blazers will be able to bring home the O'Brien Cup tonight!

Ricard still doesn't believe that with so many players in the Trail Blazers, it can't bring down an exhausted LeBron James!

James resisted desperately, but the support he could get was getting less and less. Ray Allen is hitting the iron frequently outside the three-point line, and Wade's breakthrough is no threat to Anjie. Bosh can use the open opportunity to score a few goals, but his scoring on the court is not painful for the Trail Blazers.

The Heat resisted for seven minutes. When Spoelstra had to replace James, the entire Heat suddenly collapsed!

Courtney Lee and Nicholas Batum did what they wanted during this period of time, killing the Quartet~www.NovelMTL.com~ The Heat’s second team was completely innocent. They were in the last few minutes of the second quarter. Here, only 5 points are credited!

Sitting in the luxurious box, Nell Orsi was sweating, and until the end of the game, the manager finally relaxed.

40 to 50, half the game, the Trail Blazers have widened the point difference to double digits! The Big Three of the Heat that were once invincible are now in a state of turmoil!

Seeing this result, the singing in the Moda Center has become louder. Anjie's parents, Catherine and her father also sang along.

In front of the TV, Rich Paul saw the halftime score and shook his head helplessly. He immediately called Cleveland and contacted the Cavaliers general manager David Griffin.

"What's the matter, Rich, it seems that LeBron didn't go well in the finals." Griffin's tone was relaxed, because he believed that after this game, James will no longer belong to Miami.

"It's not going well, let's meet some time, let's improve the plan..." Rich Paul turned off the TV, which indicates that James' career as a Heat will also be turned off. Up.
