The Way of the Center

George Ricard, this guy is perhaps one of the craziest coaches in the NBA. When he switched from ncaa to nba, he refused all the contracts of the team's assistant coach. The head coach is the only goal of this guy.

But not all coaches who transitioned from college to career have Ricard's courage. In the end, Nell Orsi, who was desperate because both Roy and Oden were scrapped, signed Ricard under heavy pressure. As everyone saw, Ricard brought the best basketball player in the world to Portland.

Ricard has been able to lead the team to the playoffs every year after joining the NBA. This guy is well known for his various unreasonable tricks and bold employment strategies in the game. Most importantly, no matter how incredible the guy's strategy looks, he can often lead the team to victory.

Therefore, when the game will be over with only 26 seconds left, and the Trail Blazers are still two points behind. The cameras on the scene were all aimed at Ricard, who was deploying tactics. This guy had deployed countless great lore tactics. But God knows what surprises Ricard and his players will bring to everyone this time.

An Jie looked at the messy tactical board, and then at his teammates. Finally, his eyes fell on Ricard.

"Is there a problem!?" Ricard's eyes were beyond doubt.

"I have no problem!" An Jie replied confidently.

"I'm fine!" Iguodala drew a cross on his chest, and it took 48 minutes to fight it. He didn't want to fall into the final attack.

"What about you?" Ricard looked at the others again.

"no problem!"

"Don't worry, boss!"

"I can!"

The players gave affirmative answers one by one, and Ricard nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, a huge electronic buzzer sounded on the scene, and the fans instantly became excited again.

With a big wave of his hand, Ricard sent five people to decide the outcome. "I only have one request! Win the game!"

"Welcome back, audience friends! In the last 26 seconds, the game restarts! We did not expect at the beginning, we will encounter such a tense moment in the first game of the Western Conference Finals. At present, the Blazers are two points behind. We don't know. Do they want to make a steady two-pointer, or just make a desperate three-pointer! It can be said that the last 26 seconds is really a mystery!" Mike Brin turned on the microphone again, and his voice once again spread across the United States. The attention of the fans was once again focused on the game. The best moment is about to start.

"Based on what I know about Coach Ricard, he will most likely directly design a three-pointer tactic. If so, then how the Trail Blazers will break through the Warriors' tight perimeter defense will be a very important key point. !" Van Gundy immediately began to analyze it from a tactical point of view, Curry, Thompson, Durant and a Green who can change defense at any time. It is not easy to hit a three-pointer to complete the lore in front of these guys.

"Let’s take a look at the lineup sent by Coach Ricard. Courtney Lee replaced Shabaz Napier. The other four are the same as the starting lineup. Courtney Lee’s appearance will undoubtedly play a big role. Don’t forget, he’s also a good player to head the ball! And with my understanding of Coach Ricard, it’s not impossible for him to let Courtney Lee take the final shot. It’s getting more and more interesting, and I can’t wait to see him start earlier!"

As Mike Brin spoke, Morris was already standing on the sideline, ready to serve. On the court, the Warriors and Trail Blazers players squeezed incompatible with each other, and it seemed that it was not easy to run out of position to catch the ball.

The referee blew his whistle and passed the basketball to Morris! Courtney Lee acted immediately, pushing out the crowd under Thompson's strong obstruction.

Under normal circumstances, when Napier is not present, Courtney Lee is the number one position. So of course, the Warriors naturally think that Courtney Lee will take the sideline ball.

However, after the aggressive running Kantney Lee attracted everyone's attention, Iguodala suddenly pushed Durant away, ran back, and got a fleeting gap!

Morris did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball vigorously. The basketball flew over the heads of Courtney Lee and countless Warriors players and flew into the hands of Iguodala.

Iguodala held the ball from the outside, and Durant immediately opened his long arms to stick it up. At the same time, the Blazers players began to actively move, seeming to want to run a three-pointer opportunity.

Where's Anjie? An Jie just did some ball-free pick-and-rolls on the inside. At this moment, his sense of existence is infinitely diminishing. However, not being noticed, this is exactly what Anjie wants!

The Trail Blazers' perimeter players passed a few handballs outside the three-point line, but none of them got a decent chance.

Although it is very risky to let Thompson defend George alone, but for now, Clay is doing it perfectly. No matter how good Paul George is, it is difficult for Thompson's defense to hit a key three-pointer.

And Anjie's pick-and-roll did not create a good opportunity for his teammates. It's not because Anjie's pick-and-roll quality is not high, but because the Warriors' defense is so good.

Time is passing by, and the Trail Blazers seem to have no chance at all!

The fans of Moda Center began to worry, but Ricard still looked at the stadium with a calm expression.

With only seven seconds left on the offense, Paul George received another pass. However, as before, Klay Thompson immediately posted in front of George. The Warriors' perimeter defense is indeed well-deserved, but George is not worried, he beckoned to call Angel to pick and roll for himself.

After a simple pick-and-roll, George continued to look for opportunities outside the three-point line. Green switched defenses in front of George, just when everyone thought that George would force a shot before the end of time, and this attack was about to fail. An Jie, who had been doing nothing, suddenly cut away like a basket!

"Ann started suddenly! My God, what is he going to do!?" Jeff Van Gundy's keen sense of smell made him see something different.

Anjie quickly cut inward, and Klay Thompson's heart touched his throat! The white guard knew that if An Jie received the ball, he would not be able to guard it anyway.

An Jie had just stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, and he took off directly! At the same time, George, who was outside the three-point line, threw the basketball lightly, looking like he wanted to play an aerial relay with Anjie!

"As a result, did the Trail Blazers just want to make a two-pointer? Everything just now was just a smoke bomb!?" Everyone grew their mouths, including Warriors coach Steve Kerr. It turned out to be fake for such a great effort. The real goal of the Trail Blazers is to tie the score! ?

If the tactics are really that simple, Calder cannot be called crazy there.

The Warriors' defense quickly shrank, and even if they fouled, they let Stop Anjie score two points directly. No one wants to play another overtime game, even the Warriors who are in the dominant position now absolutely don't want to.

An Jie caught the basketball steadily in the air, and beside him was a group of Warriors players who followed the jump and tried to stop him.

An Jie probably counted. There are three people around him, which means that there are two gaps outside the three-point line!

An Jie suddenly exerted force on his waist in the air, turning his back facing the basket. Everyone was shocked. An Jie's aerial relay was not enough to equalize. He still wanted to use a back buckle to end the attack.

However, the purpose of Anjie turning around in the air is not to back buckle, but to better observe his teammates outside the three-point line!

Just when everyone thought An Jie would dunk directly, An Jie was in the air and passed the basketball out again!

"What!?" Cole's eyes widened. In these few seconds in the air, An Jie not only completed his turn, but could he pass the ball accurately! ?

Seeing Anjie completed an incredible aerial relay pass, Drummond Green's heart suddenly fell. Because he knew that Paul George was unmarked at the moment!

An Jie's pass in the air is not only without errors, but also very accurate. George caught the ball steadily, and Curry and Thompson desperately ran forward to George. But this time, they couldn't keep up!

George took the ball and shot, and the spinning basketball flew over Anjie and their heads under everyone's eyes. Then, in front of the backboard lit by the red light, fall straight into the net!

"Go in! Go in! Paul George's three-pointer at the buzzer! This guy scored perhaps the most crucial goal of the game! The incredible cooperation and coach Ricard’s tactical arrangements surprised everyone! Check it out! Look at Cole’s expression! This guy, I’m sure he can’t believe what he just experienced!” Jeff Van Gundy yelled with excitement. The crazy scene just made Jeff Van Gundy’s adrenal glands. Su suddenly soared.

Kerr shook his head helplessly. This tactic can only be played by the Trail Blazers. After all, in this league, no center can pass the ball accurately in the air relay like An Jie.

Ricard was really crazy, but Anjie's ability was even more terrifying than Ricard!

Kerr used the last timeout in his hand, and 24 seconds ago, he was still in the lead. Now, 24 seconds later, the Warriors suddenly switched positions with the Blazers.

How else can basketball be an interesting sport? But now for the Warriors, the situation is not very interesting.

2 seconds, which means they have to shoot the ball. Although the Trail Blazers only lead by one point, the Warriors can win even with a two-pointer~www.NovelMTL.com~ but there is no doubt that this is still not a simple matter.

The tense timeout ended soon, but Stephen Curry's expression remained cold. Like Anjie, he has done countless miracles. Why can't he create another one today?

The Warriors sent the sideline ball, but like the previous Trail Blazers, Curry's number one position is just a cover. The real goal of basketball is Durant standing near the free throw line!

Seeing that Curry didn't catch the ball, Anjie ran towards Durant. Facts have proved that his prediction is correct!

Durant quickly shot after receiving the basketball, although only 2 seconds, but this is enough for Durant to complete the shot.

Just as the basketball just flew out, a big hand suddenly flew into Durant's field of vision from the side. The most terrible thing is that this big player will also fan the basketball away!

The red light on the backboard suddenly lit up, and the owner of the big hand appeared in front of Durant.

The white player has two huge "00" numbers. And the two letters behind that, an...
