The Way of the Center

Spoelstra didn't expect that the defeated Blazers would completely tie the score in just a few rounds. Moreover, this was done when Wade, who was in hot form, was on the court.

The Filipino had already let James prepare to play, but before the ball was dead, the Heat were stopped by the Blazers.

"We have to be more careful, we can't make mistakes, we must not make mistakes. Maybe last season, the Trail Blazers were one of the worst fast break teams in the league. But now, this year, they are definitely the best fast break players in the league. The team! Must not make a mistake. Once a mistake is made, it will almost give the Trail Blazers two points. Team attack!" Dozens of minutes ago, Spoelstra and his Big Three made Ricard yell anxiously.

Unexpectedly, now, the person who yelled became Spoelstra himself.

"You guys are doing alright, but keep up the good work! It's great that the Heat are pinned down by you again. If you don't want to repeat the horror of the second quarter, you'd better keep your nerves!" Of course, Ricard will not be satisfied with equalizing the score. He is here to win the game, not to help the Heat stage a "Jedi Survival"!

Finally, after a brief pause, the battle resumed. But this time, both James and Anjie were present. You don't need to think about it, the confrontation will definitely be very intense!

Fans in the Rose Garden waved the official red collars issued by the Blazers vigorously, and the entire stadium became a sea of ​​dark red.

In the center of the ocean, An Jie was shouting loudly. At this time, the Heat had sent the baseline ball, and Anjie also mobilized the morale of his teammates. The highest level of collision, staggered again!

Norris Cole thought he could play the role of a surprise soldier like before, but Lillard explained everything to Cole with his tough attitude-your performance is over here!

Yes, Lillard's body may be thinner, and the best rookie seems to be better at offense than defense. But when a player's defensive attitude is correct, he can make up for many of his own shortcomings.

Cole wasn't a top attacker in the first place.

Being so entangled by Lillard, the Heat's backup point guard was also a little at a loss.

He rushed the ball and let James once again become the starting point of the offense. Sure enough, in difficult times, James still has to play with the ball!

Angie couldn't continue to play cat and mouse with Bosh when James was on the floor.

Hand over Chris Bosh to Aldridge, and Ainger sticks to the basket. Even if Bosh is allowed to open it, James is not allowed to kill.

But James was not afraid. He used Haslem's pick-and-roll to force his way into the penalty area.

Seeing this situation, Matthews hurried over to defend, but the strong James still forcibly broke through the gap between Iguodala and Matthews.

When James wants to score, nothing can stop him. This guy rushed a step inside the three-second zone and suddenly stopped for a jumper. An Jie's reaction was not slow, but it was still a few seconds late.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and as soon as James played, he broke the Heat's scoring drought.

But before Spoelstra and the Heat fans in front of the TV had time to be happy, Angie used his own way to defeat the Heat again!

This is Anjie's three threats with the ball in the high position. Bosh is in a dilemma, because he neither dares to let Anjie go too far, nor dares to get too close to Anjie.

This is the deterrent effect of the fully fired Anjie on the offensive end. As a center, Anjie not only threatens the opponent's inside line, but also makes the entire area inside the three-point line a dangerous area.

Bosh was sweating profusely, and everyone else was more or less distracted to Anjie.

Just when everyone was wondering what kind of attack An Jie would use, Lillard suddenly shot out from behind An Jie!

Anjie stretched out his ball holder and let Lillard take the basketball steadily. This hand-to-hand cooperation made everyone in the Heat team unexpected. They originally agreed that An Jie was going to play singles!

Lillard took the opportunity to break through, and Haslem gave up his defense. Of course, in this way, Lillard only gave Aldridge a chance to shoot with just one point.

An easy two-pointer from close range, even with the threat of James, Anjie did not fall into the singles cycle again.

He and the Blazers are still playing at their own pace. As a core, he can threaten the basket and pass the ball. This is undoubtedly the best offensive option for the Blazers.

What about the Heat? When Bosh and Wade were frozen successively, James once again carried the banner of offense.

But when Anjie defended the basket, James couldn't hit every ball to the basket. Originally, his low-post attack, which had improved significantly, could not be used because of An Jie.

In the beginning, James could still close the score in this way. But gradually, as Iguodala became familiar with James' offensive rhythm, the chances of him being able to make shots became lower and lower.

Bosh and Wade want to come forward at this time, but under the desperate defense of Matthews and Aldridge, the only thing these two guys do is to waste a lot of shots.

There was no way, James had no choice but to attack the inside.

For the first time, James planned to throw after breaking through. But Anjie's huge defensive range caused the basketball thrown by James to hit the neck of the basket.

For the second time, James slid to the baseline for a pull-up layup. But it was also because of Anjie's awe at the basket that saved James' handsome layup from danger.

For the third time, the two sides fought chaotically. First, James' shot was suddenly cut off by Iguodala, and then Bosh made a desperate save, but dragged Aldridge beside him at the same time.

Seeing this situation, Wade and Matthews joined the battle not to be outdone. In the end, under the chaos, James still received the basketball passed from the crowd.

James slapped the ball hard with both hands and planned to take off and dunk, but Anjie, who arrived in time, slapped the ball cleanly from between James' hands!

"Once again! God, this is another dunk that An blocked James! In this league, maybe only Anjie can do that on "Little Emperor"! He is simply a king killer!"

Blocking means another conversion offense for the Trail Blazers. And as Spoelstra said, switching offenses directly means scoring for the Trail Blazers!

James failed to hit the basket three times in a row. The Blazers' desperate defense made it difficult for the "little emperor" to break through.

The match continued for a while, and Ricard finally decided to replace Anjie and others to rest.

It was also during the period when Anjie and other main players were off the court to rest that the Heat were struggling to close the score.

Ray Allen's cold shot brought the curtain down on the competition between the two sides in the third quarter. Although this three-pointer hit the net at the buzzer, it only narrowed the Heat's trail to four points.

Not long after, Lillard's wing jumper kicked off the fourth-quarter decisive battle between the two sides. Although the Big Three of the Heat have all received a short rest, judging from their performance on the court, their performance is still limited miserably.

Especially Chris Bosh, a power forward who is in poor physical condition, faced Aldridge today and frequently shot iron. So far, he has taken 14 shots, but only hit 5 goals. And most of these 5 goals came from the second quarter.

Wade's situation was not much better. After scoring 10 points in the second quarter, the defense against Wade became more.

Wade is that type of player, and when he's scoring consecutive goals, he can play better and better. But once he starts to miss consecutively, Wade will play worse and worse.

After the hit, Wade gave up the shot directly. The most common picture is that Wade was forced to stop shortly after dribbling. Now he has no room to shoot at all, so naturally he cannot share the pressure for James.

It's a pity that James is one of the strongest players in the league anyway. His strength is no worse than that of An Jie who won the MVP.

With his efforts, even though the Heat played ugly on the scene, they were never thrown off by the Blazers.

As Bosh made another shot from outside the three-point line, Anjie confiscated the rebound, and Ricard immediately called a timeout.

At this time, the first matchup of the finals will end with only 58.7 seconds left, and the Trail Blazers temporarily lead by two points. Ricard had to pass a time-out to calm down the frenzied lads.

"This is always the case in close matches. The last few rounds are the key to the real victory!"

"Both sides have given us great performances before, now, it's time to end it all!"

"Anjie and the Trail Blazers are in very good form today. As long as they continue to maintain it in the last minute, they will definitely be able to win the game!"

The narrators began to build momentum for the last-minute duel, and the reporters frantically filmed the pictures of the two teams on the bench.

Now, whether it is behind Spoelstra or leading Ricard, there will certainly not be the slightest relaxation.

The flames of war were rekindled, and even at the critical moment, An Jie still had no intention of scoring by himself. In this attack, he chose to pass the ball. But the Heat have begun to figure out Anjie's passing options. Wade's timely supplementary defense disturbed Lillard's shooting, and the basketball knocked out of the frame.

Bosh withstood Anjie, James jumped high, and the two giants cooperated to protect the offensive rebound on Anjie's head.

After winning the rebound, James didn't stay longer, but directly controlled the ball and advanced quickly!

"Terrifying physical fitness, this guy can actually sprint quickly!" The commentary area exclaimed, and saw a fully armed armored vehicle on the field surpassing each opponent and killing the basket.

Lillard is the only one who can keep up with James' speed, but Lillard can't do anything except foul.

"Be more active, be more active! Now the game is in your hands, you have to try to control the situation!" Taking advantage of the gap between James' free throws, Ricard shouted at An Jie on the field.

Now is not the time to be humble. During the critical period, the leading stars have to stand up like James!

Two free throws were made, and James once again tied the score between the two sides.

At 29.3 seconds, Aldridge made a baseline kick, and Lillard slowly advanced with gestures.

Wade used a gambling sprint method near the middle circle to steal, but Lillard, who was focused, did not let the "Flash" succeed. But in a hurry, Lillard's rhythm of possession was also disrupted.

He held back a glance and found that he could only see An Jie at the highest point. So the rookie guard panicked and directly stuffed the ball inside.

The pass was not good, and An Jie had to stretch his long arms and take a big step to reach the basketball. Just as Anjie was moving, Bosh ruthlessly pushed the No. 00 center forward in front of him.

After landing, An Jie, who was strongly suppressed by Bosh, slipped and fell to the ground holding the basketball!

"Ann fell! What will happen to the Heat's defense!?" Bill Wharton stood up suddenly, and he sat down again when he realized that he was blocking the commentator behind him.

Seeing that An Jie fell, Bosh, James and Chalmers immediately rushed towards him. An Jie held the basketball on the ground with one hand and held the basketball in the other. Look for passing targets.

The big man falls to the ground, which is the most taboo point on the basketball court. Because the inside players are not as flexible as the outside players, if they fall with the ball, it will be difficult for the basketball to be dealt with in time!

Bosh immediately fell on Anjie's back, and James stretched out his hands beside him. As for Chalmers, this guy blocked An Jie's sight.

The real hand-to-hand combat started again on the floor. An Jie didn't panic, he first hugged the basketball firmly in this muscle jungle. No matter how James and Bosh pulled, how stealthily attacked, Anjie did not let go!

Among the crowd, An Jie had no vision at all. But in the gap, An Jie saw a pair of silver and white Nike, Max, and Hyperposite basketball shoes.

"This is a pair of relatively pure interior shoes. I think, use this to declare that I have become a tougher style of play. Maybe next time, I will try your way of center forward? Forget it, let's wait until the second generation comes out. Try it.” Before the start of the playoffs, Aldridge smiled and answered Anjie’s question about changing his sneakers.

"LaMarcus, it's up to you!" An Jie was so impressed with this pair of silver-white sneakers that he passed the basketball with just this pair of sneakers.

"What happened? The referee hasn't blown the scrimmage yet, and Anjie is still desperately resisting! Basketball! The basketball leaked out of the crowd! Aldridge, this ball is passed to Aldridge! God, Anjie How did you do it!?" Just when everyone thought the ball would end in a scrimmage, the basketball rolled towards Aldridge without any mistakes!

Aldridge responded immediately, bending down to pick up the basketball. In an instant, this big guy became the target of the Heat's siege.

Meanwhile, An Jie, who had been wrestling on the floor for a long time, wasted no time. He immediately turned over and stood up, which was not easy for a big man with a height of 2 meters 19!

But the desire for victory made An Jie break all boundaries. Aldridge threw the basketball into the air, and the Heat turned their heads to look, only to find that An Jie, who was still lying on the ground just now, had already soared towards the basketball!

The fight on the floor just now consumed too much Anjie's physical strength, and now, it is difficult for him to make that kind of exaggerated alley-oop dunk.

After An Jie caught the basketball in the air, he just pushed it lightly. The basketball changed its trajectory and fell into the net. At the same time, the red light on the backboard came on, and the Blazers' 24-second attack of this round just ended!

"Shot at the buzzer, beautiful. Anjie, this guy saved the Blazers again!"

"Come and stop me!" An Jie shook his fist vigorously after the goal, from being besieged on the floor to finally shooting. An Jie's emotions exploded in an instant!

With 5.2 seconds left in the game, the Heat trailed by two points. Spoelstra called the last timeout, and Anjie's key alley-oop shot pushed the Heat into desperation!

After a timeout, James found two people defending him! Iguodala and Matthews followed the Heat 6 inseparably, and there was no chance for him to connect to the sideline.

Bosh hesitated for a long time, or in the nick of time, the ball was given to Chalmers.

Chalmers was unable to dribble even one step due to Lillard's fierce defense. Wade raised his hand anxiously for the ball. Because of double-teaming James, there is no one around him to guard at the moment!

After all, Chalmers was also the MOP in the same class as An Jie, no matter how bad he was, he could still do things like pass the ball to the head star.

Wade catches the ball and time is running out. This guy took a step back, instead of asking for a long-range two-pointer, he might as well just kill the game with a three-pointer!

"Wade, you made an open three-pointer! The entire Rose Garden fell silent, what happened?"

Anjie looked at the basketball, but was blocked by Bosh first.

The basketball hit the left side of the basket first, then bounced out! But the game is not over, because Bosh grabbed an offensive rebound for the first time!

"Damn..." An Jie, who was exhausted, wanted to stop Bosh, but found that his pace was not as fast as before.

Bosh released the ball before Anjie pounced, and at the same time, the red light on the backboard also lit up.

"brush!"

An Jie turned his head and looked, the basketball went into the net!

"A tie?" An Jie put his head in his hands, and he looked up at the big screen. The players of the Heat raised their arms and cheered, they were not killed this time!

92 to 94, no, no tie! Is there no tie, or is the score not added in time?

Looking at the referees again, several on-duty referees were watching the replay several times in front of the technical table. They watched Bosh's last shot over and over again. After all, this was a penalty that could change the outcome of the game.

After discussion, the referee rushed to the players on the pitch and gestured. However, his actions seem to be saying... The goal is invalid! ?
