The Way of the Center

Chapter 852 : The most critical matchup

George, who watched the game live on TV at his home in Portland, jumped with excitement. Although this guy’s ankle is still inconvenient, George is still very excited by what Anjie did.

Lillard yelled in the living room as if he was on the scene and An Jie could hear his cheering.

These two guys must now really want to fight with Anjie. Even some Cleveland fans are shocked by the drama of Anjie’s hero return, let alone the two teammates who have fought side by side with him.

“We don’t know how Ann’s injury is, but it is obvious that this guy is still limping a bit when he walks. But once he runs, Ann will endure the pain. If Ann can’t win today The O’Brien Cup, the next game, will be very unfavorable for him and the entire Trail Blazers.” Van Gundy is famous for caring about the health of his players, even if he has not coached Anjie for many years, but Van Gundy still regarded Anjie as his family.

If Van Gundy was coaching now, maybe he would not agree with Anjie to play with injuries. But who knows? Van Gundy has never encountered this kind of situation in his coaching career.

“It’s okay, buddy.” After Anjie came on the court, Morris stepped forward and asked with concern.

“Don’t worry about me, be optimistic about the basket! At the last moment, buddy, we have no reason to lose the game!” An Jie patted Morris on the shoulder hard, allowing his good brother to focus all his attention on the game.

Although Anjie played with an injury, the Cavaliers will never be softened by this. On the contrary, they will instead use Anjie as a breakthrough point on the offensive end!

Seeing that Anjie was still a little uncomfortable when he walked, James picked up the basketball and rushed directly inside.

“LeBron is merciless, he wants to use An Jie’s point to complete the breakthrough!” Mike Brin pointed to the court and shouted, if it is normal, people will definitely think James is crazy. On the offensive end, no one wants to take the initiative to face Anjie.

But now, under special circumstances, James’ approach is indeed the best choice for the Cavaliers. An Jie’s momentum and perseverance are indeed worthy of respect, but there are only winners and losers in the competition!

James used the pick-and-roll to break through Iguodala, who was also exhausted. He just stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, he hugged the basketball with both hands, ready to start a three-step layup!

The posture of James holding the ball makes people think that they are watching the Football Super Bowl, not the NBA Finals. This guy clamped the basketball tightly under his arm, no one could touch it.

“Huh…Come on, An Jie, hold on!” An Jie silently beat himself up in his heart. Seeing James getting closer and closer to him, An Jie held back the pain in his knees, and quickly crossed. shift!

“Ann moved quickly and was almost unaffected by injuries! God, how could this be possible? He pressed LeBron tightly, but LeBron didn’t seem to want to give up!”

James marveled at An Jie’s defense speed, but being able to move suddenly did not mean that An Jie could also take off quickly.

James carried An Jie on his shoulder and layup directly to attack the frame! This time, James deliberately jumped high, in order to take advantage of Anjie’s knee inconvenience.

An Jie’s judgment on the timing of the cap is as accurate as ever. The most surprising thing is that this guy’s jumping height is the same as before!

In James’ stunned eyes, An Jie gritted his teeth to endure the pain and waved his arm vigorously.

The basketball in James’ hands was slammed by An Jie vigorously. Even if James’ fingers were strengthened, he couldn’t control the basketball with such a huge force.

After An Jie landed, his legs could not support such a large inertia. I saw this tall 00 rushing to the bench, and then sat down on the ground.

Suddenly, the entire bench of the Trail Blazers rushed over and helped An Jie up. They can’t lose Anjie, they definitely can’t! Every movement of this guy, every time he fell, took the rest of the Trail Blazers nerves.

“Look at the great reaction of the Trail Blazers bench! Now every Trail Blazers player’s heart is tied to An Jie!” Yu Jia has been very moved. This scene is really similar to Yao Ming ten years ago. . The difference is that if Anjie wins the game, he will win the O’Brien Cup for the fourth time!

“This guy is a monster!” James knows very well how uncomfortable his body will be after being injured. Even if his knee is injured in such an important position, he can still cover himself cleanly. On the whole earth, there may only be An Jie. I can do it.

“Patience to seek opportunities, be patient!” Tyron Lu started yelling from the sidelines. The current Cavaliers can’t afford to waste opportunities anymore.

Since An Jie fanned the ball out of bounds just now, the Cavaliers had a second chance to attack. This time, James was obviously more patient on the outside. He passed the ball several times and finally won a chance for himself.

Through a series of picks and rolls and a subtle reverse run, James completely threw off Iguodala, who was defending himself. Iguodala averaged 36 minutes per game in this series, but the last time he averaged so long per game was when he played for the 76ers.

This playing time is beyond the range of Iguodala, naturally, this guy will be a little weak in the end. Therefore, James was able to break through easily.

Another opportunity to break through, James looked at his outside teammates. Thomas is still entangled by Napier. Although Rose has a little gap, James really dare not let Rose take a three-pointer at a time when everyone’s energy is almost exhausted. Love? It was Morris standing in front of Love, and it was not safe to let him fire from beyond the three-point line.

After watching a circle, James dismissed the idea of ​​dividing the ball. This time, you have to do it yourself!

Anjie still got rid of the entanglement with Tristan Thompson and stayed firmly at the basket. James is not stupid, this time, he will not choose to collide head-on with Anjie.

He seems to be advancing at a high speed, but he has actually figured out a plan to deal with it.

Just when people thought that James and An Jie were about to stage another collision like sparks hitting the earth, James suddenly picked up the basketball and jumped aside, breaking through An Jie’s defense with a jump!

“Boom!” The entire Quicken Loans Center Arena broke out, and the fans uttered deafening cheers when they saw James passing by An Jie.

“This is an opportunity to go ahead! If LeBron scores the ball, it will change the situation on the court!” Even a guy like Barkley, who seems to never be serious, is rarely serious today. This kind of battle has to make everyone awe, even if it is a live treasure like Barkley.

“I have to win once too!” James roared in his heart and threw the ball to the basket.

At this moment, time seemed to be slowed down. The basketball in James’ eyes is slowly rising. This kind of goal that can be scored in a blink of an eye on weekdays is flying extremely long today.

The basketball has risen to the highest point and is about to touch the backboard. James’ heart was pounding, he could not hear anything, only the sound of his own heart beating.

Just as the ball was about to be done, the Chinese man with his long arms appeared again. Before the basketball fell, he slammed the orange ball on the backboard with his palm.

James’ eyes were dull, and it was useless to pray to God. Because tonight, God put on the number 00 jersey!

“Boom! Nail board hat! Ann’s response is really quick! His sensitive sense of protecting the basket makes LeBron a top star like LeBron only to be cheated! Two consecutive shots against James, An Jie died The deadlock guarded the penalty area! Anjie made a long pass from the backcourt, and Napier took the ball and planned to fight back! Foul! Derrick Rose knocked Napier to the ground! The Cavaliers are in a hurry, they are starting to panic! Portland Trail Blazers , Completely controlled the situation!” Van Gundy used a series of passionate explanations to make the already exciting game more vivid and colorful.

After being violated, Napier didn’t wait for his teammates to pull him, but got up by himself, ran to An Jie, and hugged the tall guy abruptly. If it weren’t for him, Napier might not be able to play such an epic game in his life!

“Don’t punish the missing kid, just do it as usual!” An Jie stroked Napier’s head like a child, then pushed him forward to the free throw line.

Napier took a deep breath, and with Anjie’s encouragement, he became more confident!

Under the shaking boos of the Cavaliers fans, Napier held the heavy pressure and steadily made both free throws. With 50 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers were three points behind.

Tyron Lue used the last timeout in his hand. After the timeout, the outcome of the game can only be given to the players on the court.

After the game restarted, the person who received the ball from the bottom line became Thomas Jr. This guy still scored 20 points with a limited number of shots today, which is quite effective. But if you lose the game in the end, it doesn’t make sense to perform well.

Little Thomas didn’t mean to pass the ball, but beckoned for a pick-and-roll. Immediately, Thompson and Love set up cover for Thomas.

Little Thomas quickly broke through in An Jie’s direction, and An Jie immediately changed defense, and chased after the lightning-fast Thomas.

But there is no doubt that Anjie with a leg injury can’t keep up with Thomas anyway. This guy with a height of only 1.75 meters easily got on and scored a key goal before An Jie blocked the shot. The Cavaliers narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

An Jie looked at the timer on the backboard. There were 38 seconds left. If the offense is successful this time, the Blazers will almost firmly hold the victory in their hands.

He began to limp and press forward, this scene made everyone feel distressed.

Napier held the ball outside the three-point line, but Thomas was very tight on defense, not giving Napier any room for action.

Seeing that he could not catch the ball for a long time, An Jie ran outside the three-point line and took the initiative to attack. Napier hurriedly passed the ball to avoid making a mistake.

After An Jie took the ball from the three-point line, Love immediately pressed himself against the ball. An Jie turned his back to the basket and supported the basketball with one hand. At the same time, Iguodala was running towards An Jie. The two seemed to want to play hand in hand.

Iguodala still ran into position under James’s pull. He ran past Anjie, but Love could not see if he took the ball.

Just when Love hesitated, An Jie, who was originally a thug, suddenly put away the basketball and turned around, completely overtaking Love, who could not react!

“Damn it!” James yelled, leaving Iguodala and chasing Anjie. An Jie also showed no weakness, dragging his injured leg and rushing to attack the frame.

In the three-second zone, Anjie and James took off almost at the same time. The result of this game seems to be produced in this confrontation between the two.

James raised his arms and collided with Anjie in the air. And his palm has already touched the basketball. Just now Anjie blocked himself twice in a row Of course, James wanted to return the color.

An Jie held the ball tightly so as not to be fanned by James. He continued to press down, violently.

In an instant, James was defeated by this huge force. He suddenly loosened his whole body and fell to the ground embarrassedly. And An Jie, under the shining of the stadium lights, dunked with both hands vigorously!

“LeBron James! Ann succeeded. He not only blocked LeBron twice, but also broke through LeBron’s defense on the offensive end! Great leader, the performance of Ann after returning from injury is incredible. There are 22 seconds left in the game, but the Cavaliers are behind by 3 points! This matchup between the two sides almost made the end appear! Look at the expressions of the Cleveland fans, today is definitely not a good day for them! Great Ann! He is only 28 seconds away from his fourth O’Brien Cup!” Van Gundy directly picked up the microphone and climbed onto the platform.

Anjie glared at James who fell to the ground. At this moment, the former “little emperor” fell to the throne under the oppression of another guy. At this moment, he has always looked down on others, but he is looked down on by others.

James slapped the floor hard, and the Cavaliers had no timeout. The most terrible result, maybe…maybe, really will become a reality…
