The Way of the Center

Chapter 527: The Cold War in the Regular Season

"Nicola Vucevic leaned on Chris Bosh, can this white center save the Magic and end the Heat's winning streak!?" At the American Airlines Arena, the home of the Miami Heat , all the fans stood up, and Mark Jackson, who was commentating the game on the spot, also stared nervously at the field.

There are still 30 seconds before the end of the game, and the Magic are only one point behind the Heat.

As the current first scoring point for the Magic, Swiss center Nikola Vucevic controls the ball for the Magic's final attack.

Facing the weak inside lineup of the Heat, Vucevic has scored 23 points and 21 rebounds. If the Magic can win this game, then Vucevic will be indispensable. With this opportunity, Vucevic can also shine.

But first, Vucevic has to fill in the gap of this point.

He leaned on Bosh's cautious probing, and James wanted to go up to help, but the Magic's small forward Maurice Harkless, who was facing James, nailed James firmly with his excellent touch today.

Do you think James didn't think about double-teaming before? But Harkless used 3 3-pointers to completely contain James on the outside.

Vucevic did not accurately estimate the remaining time of the game. For him, the goal only needs to be scored. He is not a superstar, unlike them who always consider every aspect of the game.

This is Vucevic's plan to advance one goal and then consider other issues. So while James was still unable to complete the double-team, Vucevic suddenly turned around and shot a jumper. Bosh's reaction was very timely and he almost completed the block. But Vucevic, who felt so good today, was stunned to score the ball under Bosh's excellent defense. Now at the last moment of the game, Vucevic's goal is completely a quasi-lore!

96 to 95, the Magic instantly changed from a lagging side to a dominant side. There is not much time left in the game, and the Heat must ensure both speed and success rate in order to have a chance to complete the comeback.

Spoelstra immediately called a timeout and arranged the Heat's last offensive tactics.

All TV cameras are aimed at the Heat's bench, James and Wade, the two guys who performed the best today, will undoubtedly be the executors of the last attack.

The players and fans of the Magic are very nervous. Although they have the upper hand now, they still feel very uneasy because the Heat hold the last shot.

Especially Nikola Vucevic, today he has scored 25 points and 21 rebounds. If he played like this and the Magic lost the game, it would be too aggrieved.

The timeout ended, and the Big Three of the Heat all appeared without exception. Everyone on the Magic tensed up, as if they were under more pressure than the trailing Heat.

Bosh out of the line, Wade took his time to organize the ball. The former All-Star vacant Jameer Nelson dare not slack off, Wade has already scored 24 points today, and his shooting percentage is as high as 60%. Although Wade's combat effectiveness is not as good as before due to his physical condition, at least today, The Flash is still very dangerous.

Time passed by second by second, and Wade still only controlled the ball outside the three-point line. The less time there is, the more nervous the Magic players are. The pressure brought by the Heat's Big Three is too great.

Suddenly, Wade finally made a move! Nelson was so frightened that he quickly opened his arms wide, for fear that the Flash would make a breakthrough.

However, Wade just passed the ball, but the person who received the ball made everyone in the Magic even more afraid.

"LeBron James catches a pass from Wade from beyond the three point line, Maurice Harkless is so tight! LeBron drives hard! He lays up with a lot of contact interference! God, LeBron is so strong, Harkless is no match for him!"

As soon as Mark Jackson finished speaking, James used his body to hold Harkless and completed a layup. Although Vucevic performed very well on the offensive end, on the defensive end, this guy's speed is really too slow. He didn't have a chance to make up defense at all, he could only watch James turn his beautiful data into nothing.

"The goal is scored! LeBron's counter lore is successful! 96 to 97, cheers, the fans of the Heat can cheer for their heroes!"

James raised his arms high and enjoyed the treatment of a king. Vucevic and other Magic players were dejected. They were so close to victory, but in the end, the result was not any different from expectations.

"Fifteenth consecutive victory, audience friends, this is already the fifteenth consecutive victory of the Heat! Last week, the Trail Blazers just completed the feat of 27 consecutive victories. Let's see, the Heat can Can it repeat, even surpass what the Trail Blazers have done!?"

James' anti-lore turned the Heat's winning streak into 15 games, and also made their No. 1 ranking in the Eastern Conference more stable.

Meanwhile, at FedEx Arena in Memphis, the Trail Blazers' game against the Grizzlies is coming to an end.

After defeating the Nuggets and Timberwolves in a row in the past few days, the Trail Blazers once again "slaughtered" the Hornets and won three consecutive victories.

Anthony Davis seemed to be "educated" whenever he met An Jie. However, with the same fate as Davis, there is also Marc Gasol.

This European white big man who has performed well this season will always be suppressed as soon as he meets An Jie.

Unlike the intense game between the Heat and the Magic, the Blazers and Grizzlies have already decided the winner. In the last 30 seconds of the game, the coaches of both sides replaced all their main players. Because the Trail Blazers have a lead of as much as 10 points.

And three minutes ago, Angie's performance of scoring 10 points on Gasol's head is the reason why the Trail Blazers can now take the lead.

Gasol has tried his best, but Anjie's versatility makes this technically excellent "Big Pyrenees" feel inferior.

Now, Gasol can no longer confront Anjie. Waiting for victory on the bench is the only option for this mobile fortress of Europe.

91 to 85, in the end, the Blazers won the final victory by 6 points in the away game, completing the four-game winning streak since the end of the 27-game winning streak. Anjie scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in this campaign. It is precisely because of him that James, who completed the anti-lore feat earlier, did not occupy the headlines alone.

The tit-for-tat situation between the Trail Blazers and the Heat has been put on the table by reporters since the All-Star Game. Now almost every game day, the commentator will compare the Heat and the Trail Blazers together. The anticipation of ooVs6's final match has been implanted in the hearts of every fan.

The Blazers and the Heat, Anjie and James also seemed to participate in a long-distance race. No one is willing to give up, unwilling to fall behind.

On March 8, the Heat lost 76 and won 16 consecutive victories. The Blazers beat the Spurs in San Antonio, won 5 consecutive victories, and continued to bite behind the Heat.

On March 10, the Heat defeated the Pacers, who were also a strong team in the East. The Blazers, relying on Iguodala's key two points at the last moment and Anjie's 33 points and 13 rebounds, beat the Bobcats, avoided the upset, and achieved their sixth consecutive victory .

The Trail Blazers and the Heat are like racing invisibly, neither of them wants to fall behind, and neither of them wants to show weakness.

The Heat and James played wonderfully well, and the Trail Blazers and Anjie were also able to show outstanding performances.

Throughout March, the nBa league was in a "cold war" period. It's just that this "cold war" no longer belongs to the Soviet Union and the United States, but to the Heat and the Blazers, James and Anjie.

Finally on March 28, the exhausted Heat was upset by the bulls without Rose. As of that day, the Heat's crazy winning streak finally stopped.

It's just a coincidence that their winning streak is also the second in history, tied with the Trail Blazers for second in history!

That's right, after a series of efforts, the Heat became the second team to win 27 consecutive victories after the Trail Blazers!

Anjieben thought that his record would be worth talking about for many years, but he didn't know that just one month later, the Heat copied this myth.

The Heat's big three were completely pushed to the forefront, and they did all the almost unthinkable things. With a record of 27 consecutive victories, the Heat tied the record in one month. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers not only failed to continue their winning streak in March, but also lost the opportunity to break the Bulls' best record of the season.

They lost two games in March, and their record has also become 61 wins and 9 losses. Although this record is still very good, it can be said that in this cold war in March, the Heat temporarily took the lead.

In April, the last month of the nBa regular season, the positions of each team are basically confirmed, especially the Heat and Trail Blazers, whose respective No. 1 positions are almost unshakable.

Under such circumstances, both Spoelstra and Ricard frequently used the wheel shape, hoping to preserve the physical fitness of the main players so that they can play steadily in the playoffs.

After all, the Trail Blazers and the Heat are not just fighting for the playoffs. Their goal is the O'Brien Cup!

Under this circumstance, the number of losses of the Heat and the Trail Blazers is much higher than before.

However, the two teams still maintained an excellent record and continued to fight openly and secretly in the regular season.

...................................

Stephen Curry will never forget that look, the look that only belongs to the winner.

An Jie smiled and high-fived Meyers Leonard, his eyes filled with joy. He can rest, because of the needs of the playoffs, Anjie will not play for too long now.

Curry is very envious of stars who can get the privilege of leaving early, not because Curry likes to be lazy, but because being able to leave early usually means that you have also won early.

An Jie's situation today clearly falls into the category of early victory.

"What are you doing Stephen! Defensively, Fisher is here!" Warriors coach yelled at the stunned Curry. If this game is lost and the Lakers win the game, the Warriors will become the eighth in the Western Conference. Become the eighth in the West, which means that the Warriors will meet the Trail Blazers in the first round.

This is definitely the worst outcome. They would rather play the second Spurs in the West than meet the Blazers prematurely.

The Warriors players continued to fight, unwilling to give up. Curry, a young guard, also played very hard, but unfortunately he is not in good shape today, and he made repeated three-pointers.

So now, the Trail Blazers' lead has turned into 17 points with just two minutes remaining.

Ricard's replacement of Anjie can be regarded as announcing the result of the game in advance.

Curry wanted to do something, but he found himself powerless.

David Lee was abused by An Jie so that he entered the "Rage" mode. He shot like crazy in the paint. Facing the inexperienced Leonard, Li also played very well.

It's just that the opportunities obtained by Curry and other outsiders will not appear in David Lee's eyes now. He has been driven crazy by An Jie, and now the crazy singles, even if David Lee vented out of his unwillingness.

He scored wildly in front of Meyers Leonard, but David Lee's singles was obviously not the result the Warriors wanted. If the Warriors want to catch up with such a big gap, they must rely on the help of three-pointers. But after David Lee dominated the ball, Curry, Thompson and other shooters had no chance to shoot three-pointers at all.

Mike Brin couldn't help admiring An Jie in his heart. This Chinese is very good, not only because of his skills, but also because he can always make his opponents lose their minds.

As the minutes passed, David Lee still had no intention of passing the ball. The Warriors failed to complete the reversal until one second before the end of the game.

88 to 99, the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers by 11 points in the away game. Now, the Warriors can only pin their hopes on the Lakers. If the Lakers win, the Warriors must win the first round of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers. Because this game is the last regular season of the 2o12~2o13 season.

If they really become the eighth in the West, the Warriors have no confidence to create another black eight miracle.

However, for Anjie and the Blazers, they have drawn a perfect end to the regular season.

The next time they play, they're going for the playoffs, they're going for the championship.

The infighting with the Heat is coming to an end, if both teams make the cut. The situation of the Cold War may turn into a hot war with live ammunition.
