The Way of the Center
Chapter 342: Forty-five Seconds Turning Point
In the first quarter of the game, Anjie defended the dignity of Rose Garden with his defense. E┡ Δnovel Ww%W. *1XIAOSHUO. In the first half of the second quarter, Anjie's offense made the Heat very nervous, but in the second half, the double impact of James and Wade made the Heat build up a five-point advantage.
Maybe the Heat couldn't even imagine that the advantages they had built up with all their efforts were filled by the Trail Blazers' bench players. However, Anjie's good foundation for chasing points is also the main reason why the two teams can return to the same starting line.
Without An Jie, it would have been impossible to score only five points. Now the fourth quarter has not yet started, and Anjie has already scored 28 points. Spoelstra doesn't need to double-team for a minute, and Anjie will not stop for a minute.
"If you want me to say, this is the most exciting national broadcast game I have watched this season, and it is also the best game between the Trail Blazers and the Heat recently. Before, the two teams either lost because of poor form. The ball, or the state is too good to win, making the game no suspense. Today is good, the two sides are evenly matched, I mean the Heat do have some advantages in terms of strength, but at least the Trail Blazers are using their methods to fight Reduce this gap. I think today's game is very likely to be decided at the last second." Charles Barkley licked his lips that were dry due to too much talking, and his voice was completely new in this game. It didn't stop until the end. Every dunk on the court, every block, will be accompanied by Barkley screaming. When Kenny Smith and O'Neal stop to rest, Barkley can also chatter non-stop.
Sometimes the thick-skinned Barkley doesn't want to work hard. Whether he can get this guy to explain seriously depends on whether a game can attract his attention. There is no doubt that today's exciting matchup between the Blazers and the Heat is very much in line with Barkley's appetite.
An Jie sat down and drank two glasses of Gatorade. This season's schedule is over half, but it is the first time that An Jie feels that a game will make him so tired. James and Flash, the impact of these two guys really made Anjie feel very strenuous. He was able to defend hard in the first quarter with plenty of energy, but in the fourth quarter of the game, it was already difficult for An Jie to do that level of defense.
But the game is not over yet, no matter how tired he is, he has to keep playing. Seeing his teammates looking at him expectantly, An Jie threw away the disposable paper cup in his hand and stood up abruptly.
At the same time, James and Wade also jumped up from the bench. The three of them looked at each other, and then they all walked onto the court.
An Jie didn't know that he had scored 28 points. He didn't look at his statistics, but he knew that he had to keep scoring until the Blazers took the lead until the end of the game.
On the court, both opponents replaced the original lineup. Although Jamal Crawford and Courtney Lee performed well, they were exhausted in the second half of the third quarter.
If they continue to be used at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the effect will be bad. So, the five tigers of the Blazers once again stood together. Only this time, the game has come to an end.
"Ann's game was unstoppable, with 28 points in three quarters, and he didn't have the will to stop. Hey, Raymond Felton passed the ball, and Ann was in the mid-range position to confront Bosh!"
An Jie wanted to raise his hand to ask for the ball after reaching the deepest position, but he suddenly changed his focus. He found that he didn't have to work so hard to face Bosh and Joe Anthony.
Conserve your stamina and make it to the end while continuing to score points. An Jie's task can be described as very arduous, so he wants to score with a mid-range face-to-face attack that is more labor-intensive than post-up singles.
An Jie is indeed a master of low-post offense, but he is still dangerous when facing the frame. An Jie's breakthrough is also among the best in the interior, and his jump shot and drop shot are no worse than the small guards.
Bosh opened his arms as far as possible, and he tried to lock Anjie on the outside, preventing him from approaching the basket. However, Anjie only used one move to completely collapse Bosh's defense.
An Jie first made a shooting action. Facing Bosh who was one step away, An Jie could really choose to shoot. Don't forget, CIC is also one of Anjie's strengths.
Bosh reflexively stepped forward to interfere, while Anjie quickly collected the ball and poked towards Bosh's left side, as if to make a fake shot.
Bosh is also one of the Big Three of the Heat. Although he has not performed well this season, his excellent foundation will not disappear. Seeing that An Jie was about to break through, Bosh immediately took a step sideways, changing the focus of defense continuously, which made Bosh miserable. But at least this time, he can stop it!
Just when Bosh just took a step sideways, An Jie, who originally broke through to the left, suddenly turned around leaning against Bosh, and rushed to the right. At this time, Bosh could no longer change his center of gravity. He could only reach out to catch Anjie's ball, but only caught a gust of wind.
After Angie got rid of Bosh, he went straight to the basket, and Joe Anthony immediately returned to defense. Although Aldridge's offense is very powerful, but in terms of containment ability, he is really not as good as Morris. If Morris was there, Joe Anthony would not even have a chance to return to the defense.
But even if Joe Anthony returns to defense, An Jie is not afraid. He jumped up, sideways for a dunk, just avoided Joe Anthony's arm, and dunked the ball into the basket.
"Beautiful footsteps, do you think that An's breakthrough depends on his speed? No! He relies on his superb footwork. It's just a coincidence that this guy's speed is also considered fast in the interior." In the past, An Jie Never give the impression that others are fast. But now, after a long period of body modification training, An Jie's speed has made great progress.
Anjie's beautiful goal made the Rose Garden fans extremely excited, but before they were happy, James poured cold water down.
This time he broke through from the bottom corner, and the timing of Anjie's jump to block the block was also very suitable. Reluctantly, James curled up his body in the air, and when he flew to the other side of the basket, he stretched out and scored the ball.
This pull-bar layup allowed James to avoid An Jie's palm very well, and it was also a response to An Jie's beautiful dunk just now. 30 points, like Anjie, James has already scored a lot of points today!
The game played tensely for several minutes, with Spoelstra fidgeting on the sidelines. What about Ricard? He kept roaring on the sidelines, and sometimes expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee. In short, the two head coaches have done everything they can do. Now the outcome of the game depends entirely on the players on the field.
This is already the fourth quarter that Anjie didn't know how many times he held the ball. Seeing that Spoelstra continued to use strict man-to-man defense, Anjie didn't even think about it, and turned to face the frame again with the ball. Ready to go it alone!
Bosh doesn't even have the arse to open his arms now, because no matter what he does, Angie beats himself like an idiot.
Just as Bosh was stunned, Anjie shot. Only this time, he really shot.
"Oh my god, Chris Bosh didn't respond. He's been stunned by Anjie, let's change someone else, oh yes, there are not many insiders in the Heat." O'Neill looked at the present An Jie, as if he saw himself when he was young. At that time, as long as he sat under the basket, no matter who came, he couldn't stop him. Now An Jie has extended his "unsolvable" distance to near the free throw line. It's not that Anjie plays softly, but that Anjie has more offensive methods than O'Neal!
The only thing that makes Anjie uneasy is that no matter how he scores, Wade and James on the opposite side can always respond. They knew that the inside line guarded by Anjie was not easy to play, so they chose more emergency stop jumpers and floaters to end the offense. James' pull-up layup was the only time Wade and James scored in the 3-second zone in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, Wade and James played very well in the mid-range today. But even so, An Jie didn't dare to guard too much. He knew that James and Wade were waiting for him to go out, but once he went out, the inside line behind him would be ravaged immediately.
"Ann! Hit the hook again!"
"A big hook with one step inside the free throw line, and ah, how many points has Ann scored?"
"Tough dunk... oh! Bosh was inseparable during the defense process, but Anjie still completed the dunk! Full of power, this is definitely a dunk that belongs to an inside monster!"
Angie, Angie, Angie. Whether it is offense or defense, as long as it is about the Trail Blazers, Anjie's name must be indispensable.
The scores of the two sides have been leading alternately in this way, until the last minute of the game, the score was still not opened. 94 to 95, the Trail Blazers temporarily fell behind by one point, but now it is the Blazers' offensive round.
Ricard also went all out in this game, allowing Anjie to play a full quarter. Since the fourth quarter, Anjie hasn't left the scene for a second. And James and Wade are not much better, 45 seconds, this is the time for these two people to end.
This time, Anjie still scored the basketball in the attack, and Bosh was already numb picking up the ball under the basket. He didn't know how many points An Jie scored, and he didn't want to know!
"42 points! God, after An Jie scored the ball just now, he has scored 42 points today!" Kenny Smith opened his mouth. He could guess that An Jie would perform well in this game. But he didn't expect that it would be so impressive.
However, the script seemed to be written. Afterwards, the Heat's offensive Wade's breakthrough attracted the defense of two people, but only Aldridge was watching over James who cut in.
In an extremely small space, Wade just relied on tacit understanding to feed the ball into James' hands. James lobbed Aldridge and hit the rebound, and the basketball hit again!
After the goal was scored, Ricard hurriedly called a timeout. Now both sides have another attack, and whether they win or lose will be determined by these two attacks.
"Teaming!" On the Heat's side, Spoelstra didn't arrange anything. After persisting for so long, he was finally going to double-team An Jie again!
As soon as An Jie fell into the three-second zone this time, he found that James also ran over to entangle him. James' entanglement is different from others. His defense is absolutely fierce, and his shots are very precise. Anjie even almost lost the ball at one point.
Fortunately, Anjie still relied on his height advantage to send the ball to Gerald Wallace.
When James saw Anjie pass the ball, he immediately ran back. Gerald Wallace probably didn't expect James to be in place so quickly, so when he made a shot, he was taken aback by James' suddenly extended palm.
This interference seriously broke Wallace's shooting rhythm. His three-pointer went out of the frame. Bosh and Joe.
"No, no, no!" Seeing that time was running out, the Trail Blazers were still behind. An Jie didn't even think about it, and immediately hugged James from behind who was about to lift him up.
Foul tactics! Since Gerald Wallace failed to continue that shot, the Blazers are now cornered!
However, James did not disappoint the Heat. He made two free throws steadily and opened the score to three points again.
At this time, the game time is only 5 seconds, and Anjie can't shoot a three-pointer, so even if he can finish the offense at the basket, it won't help.
Gerald Wallace felt very guilty when he saw An Jie's gritted teeth expression. But there is no way, history cannot go backwards, his shot really ruined the team's possible shot to win.
Rickard used up the last timeout in his hand, even so, Anjie and he have not given up yet. At the last moment, Ricard replaced Courtney Lee and Jamal Crawford in one breath, plus Wesley Matthews and Raymond Felton. The Raptors have nearly all of their best 3-point shooters.
But this time, An Jie lost the restraining effect. No matter how brilliantly he scores in the paint, the score is still one point short. But the time is not far behind.
The Heat put all their defensive focus on the perimeter, and Courtney Lee could barely make a shot before the time was up. But today, this top-quality dragon suit has not created miracles.
"It's over! The wonderful game is finally over! Unexpectedly, the turning point of the game didn't appear until the last 45 seconds!" Kenny Smith said from the side, and O'Neal shook his head regretfully. It's a pity, it's a pity that An Jie didn't win this game. 1o7 to 1o4, the Trail Blazers lost at home with a slight three-point disadvantage. If the game time is even one minute longer, no no, even if it is only thirty seconds, the result may be very different.
42 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals. If such data is matched with the final victory of the game, it will be a perfect ending.
However, James' 38 points and Wade's 33 points made Anjie, who should have been amazing in the league, dim.
O'Neill looked at An Jie's expression on the field, which was exactly the same as his expression when he missed the lore on his head...
Win the stats, lose the game. In the end, is it a win or a loss?
