The Way of the Center

Losing the game with a huge difference of 19 points almost made most reporters overwhelmingly optimistic that the defending champion Heat will win the championship again.

After all, in the finals, it is not uncommon to lose such a huge gap. And there is also a terrible fact that the Big Three of the Heat can beat the Blazers like this even when they perform poorly. If the Big Three wake up, how can the Blazers fight?

"The Trail Blazers are already very good if they can reach the finals. They are still very young and they still have a lot to learn."

"This is the tuition fee that young teams have to pay. Maybe the Blazers can remain competitive for the next few years, but win the championship? No, it's too early for them. The core of Anjie is not yet 25 years old. It was Jordan who won the O'Brien Cup for the first time at the age of 28 when he was more mature. What's more, the current league is very difficult for centers."

"The Heat's big three are likely to be at home. I wouldn't be surprised if they won three games in a row at the American Airlines Center."

At this point, the happiest person should be Chalmers. Because the reporters have moved their guns from themselves to the Trail Blazers.

The current Blazers are like Chalmers a few days ago. Almost everyone speaks ill of them. This is basketball, and this is competitive sports. Only the victorious party is entitled to praise.

However, the reason why "almost" everyone is not optimistic about the Blazers means that there are still a few reporters who are on Portland's side. Wu Hua, An Jie's queen reporter, was one of them.

"Perhaps everyone thought that the Heat's Big Three won a big victory before they made a shot. But what I saw was that the Trail Blazers have restricted the Heat's Big Three in two consecutive games! That's right, the data of the Big Three in two consecutive games is far from that of the regular season. I don't think it's because they can't play well, but because they can't play under the defensive strategy of the Trail Blazers." Wu Hua is unique Naturally, his point of view has not been widely recognized in the industry. Who doesn't know who Wu Hua is, even if An Jie loses completely, he will stand by An Jie's side. But this time, Wu Hua was really right. It's just that other people don't know it yet...

blue sea, blue sky,

Baiyun golden beach, coconut trees and sea breeze, high-rise buildings, world-class hotels and restaurants, bright and colorful nightlife outline a tropical paradise - this is Miami.

As a holiday destination that hundreds of millions of people yearn for, Miami is an ideal destination for people to indulge in a romantic getaway. This place known as the "American Capital" is not only for ordinary people, but also for NBA stars, it is full of fatal attraction. After many teams come to Miami, they simply don't want to play. What's more, the Trail Blazers will play three consecutive games here.

However, after the airborne Miami, the warm atmosphere of the local finals made everyone in the Trail Blazers instantly lose the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. They came here not to enjoy, but to completely destroy this beautiful city!

The team bus walked to the street. Apart from the rows of coconut trees, the beach and the flashing lights of the reporters on both sides, what Anjie and the others got the most was the middle fingers of the Heat fans.

Among the beautiful cities, various posters of the Big Three and slogans of the finals made the atmosphere of the battle intense. There is no gentle sea breeze here, no warm sunshine. Yes, it's just the smell of gunpowder that makes people's adrenaline soar just by smelling it.

Although they lost the ball, the Trail Blazers were rounded up by various media when they stayed in the hotel.

But An Jie and his teammates didn't entangle the reporter too much, they went back to their respective rooms as soon as they checked in. According to Ricard's arrangement, although the team just arrived in Miami today, he will lead the players to start training in the afternoon.

In the finals, even if the finals are played in a beautiful city like Miami, there will never be any slack.

Although the total score of the two sides is now the same, losing a Blazers at home is equivalent to falling behind. They must find a way to win at the American Airlines Center, so that they can make up for the loss caused by the loss.

The sunset in Miami in the afternoon is very beautiful. Watching the sun gradually disappear from the sea level is simply a pleasant picture.

Catherine and her father should have arrived at Miami International Airport by now. It would be so romantic to take a walk on the beach with Catherine in such a beautiful scene.

But An Jie didn't get these. This kind of goal that even ordinary couples can easily achieve, An Jie couldn't achieve.

Train, race, win. For these things, An Jie is willing to temporarily give up all these good things.

"I'm here, dear." A text message was sent to Anjie, it was Catherine.

"I'm sorry, the team is gathering for training now, you and your father should find a place to live first, and I'll find you later."

"For my wedding gift, let's work hard." Catherine's answer allowed An Jie to devote himself to the series.

That's right, a marriage proposal. The O'Brien Cup was his wedding proposal to Catherine!

"Our restrictions on the Heat's Big Three in these two games were perfect. The idiots outside thought it was the Big Three's own play. It's ridiculous. When did our defense get so neglected?" Today, Ricard did not Intended to overwork the players. The tactical lesson is the main content that Ricard and Divac prepare for the players today.

"That's right, Chris Bosh's pitiful expression will never be forgotten in my life. As an inside player, he hasn't shot more than 40% in two consecutive games. He is really a giant." An Jie echoed loudly. Sarcasm, and a high-five with Aldridge, who helped defend Bosh.

"Haha, I have to admit that you did a good job defending in these two games. After all, what we usually emphasize the most and practice the most frequently is defense. But now, today, we must use stronger offense to destroy American Airlines Center!" Ricardo turned around, and he decided to increase the offensive diversity of the Trail Blazers while maintaining defensive efficiency.

"Offensive?" An Jie thought about it. After two games, An Jie felt that the Blazers' offense didn't seem to be a big problem. The loss in the last game was mainly because Chalmers, Ray Allen and Mike Miller were not expected to be so strong. But when it comes to offense, An Jie thinks their performance is pretty good.

"Yeah, offense. I know, our offense is not far behind the level we had in the regular season. But guys, this is the finals! To win in the tougher finals, we have to show A higher level! An's offense is fine, and it is still at the dominant level. But others, I need you to stand up and get more points with Anjie!" Ricard said, pulling out the mark in his hand With the cap on the pen, I began to write and draw on the tactical board.

Listening to the coach's explanation and the pictures on the tactical board, An Jie could immediately discover that this offensive tactic was different from the previous one.

In the past, Anjie was the offensive point that held the ball for the most time on the offensive end. But now, Ricard's arrangement makes the distribution of the ball more even than before.

This is not because Ricard has distrusted Anjie, but Ricard hopes that the offensive potential of the Trail Blazers can be fully tapped.

Even the Heat's Chalmers, Ray Allen and Mike Miller can contribute to the team, why can't these guys from the Trail Blazers?

This is a team with a championship-level configuration. Iguodala used to be a scorer who averaged close to 20 points per game, and Lillard was a scoring machine in college. Wesley Matthews has also improved a lot this season, he just lacks opportunities to perform. As for Aldridge, who has been tepid in the two games, he is the second firepower of the Trail Blazers after Anjie.

There are also Batum and Jackie Courtney Lee who have been lobbied hard by Anjie on the bench. If the scoring ability of this group of guys is not fully utilized, it will be a waste of resources.

The finals are a process in which two teams that are too familiar to each other push each other out of their potential.

Whoever can take the lead in stimulating 100% of the team's strength in this process, play something different from usual, and become stronger than before, whoever is the final winner.

The Heat two years ago forced out the final form of the "German Chariot", and the Celtics in 10 years forced out a Kobe who broke the age limit. This year, Ricard hopes that the full potential of the Trail Blazers can be developed.

Now, Spoelstra still has to worry about the offense of the Heat's Big Three. Naturally, he can't worry too much about the situation of others. However, Ricard and the Blazers went ahead of the Filipinos.

After explaining the tactics, the players, regardless of the still dark weather outside the training field, resolutely picked up the basketball and began to put the theory into practice.

"If the Big Three are liberated by Spoelstra in the next game, is it really okay for us to focus on offense?" Divac was a little worried. The Big Three of the Heat can indeed pose a great threat on the offensive end. . Focusing on defense is a relatively steady move. After all, it is impossible for the Heat to have surprise players stand up in every game.

Wade's unstoppable 10 points in a single quarter in the first game, and James' sudden explosion in the fourth quarter of the second game, both sounded the alarm for the Blazers.

Rickard waved his hand confidently: "Don't worry, Vlad, if these guys can attack well, none of the Heat's big three can stop them from going crazy!"

The dots of starlight on the Biscayne Bay beach make Miami still beautiful and peaceful at night.

Catherine was facing the glass of the sea view room, and she put her finger on the glass, as if she could touch the whole bay.

Mike Taylor and his college teammates take a taxi to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the coastline. Even Barcelona can't match Miami.

An Jie's parents snuggled up to each other by the seaside, and after suffering most of their hard life, An Jie finally became a man who didn't need them to worry about.

Nice, Miami. These two words can always be linked together.

But now, who knows that in the training room of the visiting team at the American Airlines Center, there are a group of young men with malicious intentions, who want to create murderous intentions for the peaceful and beautiful holy land! ?

Capital of America? That will show no mercy!
