The Way of the Center

James stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and his head bowed.

Bosh walked past James helplessly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.

It was Wade who came over and patted James on the shoulder, but James still didn't look up. This may be the first time that this proud man has felt such a big sense of frustration after losing to the Spurs in 2007.

"We still have two home games, don't worry." Wade finally spoke, but even he himself felt that such comfort was weak.

77 to 110, if it were a heavy setback, the team would be hit hard. What's more, it was the defending champion who lost 33 points at home. And it is James who must bear the main responsibility for this.

Is James not hard enough? No, James may be the most aggressive player today. Under Anjie's tough defense and a series of defensive traps arranged by Ricard for him, it is common for James to be overturned to the ground.

Seeing his core crawling and rolling on the ground, the Heat players and fans felt uncomfortable. But the most chilling thing is that even if James has spelled it like this, the Heat still cannot avoid a humiliating defeat.

"Hey." James let out a big breath, seeming to spit out all the pressure on himself.

The "Little Emperor" and "The Flash" hooked each other's shoulders and walked towards the player tunnel amidst the siege of photographers. The Big Three lost this game, and they lost badly.

But they don't want to sink there, just like Wade said just now, the Heat still have two chances at home to change everything.

An Jie didn't celebrate too much, he just silently clapped and hugged his teammates.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it was An Jie who completely locked up a pervert like James.

But Anjie knew that if he didn't have his teammates to protect him, he would be smashed into a sieve by James.

So this big yellow-skinned man who is being worshiped by all the commentators is not greedy for credit, but shares the joy of victory with everyone.

Wait for Spoelstra and James to calm down slowly, and study the experience of tonight's failure. They will find that they were just deceived by An Jie's bait.

Indeed, Anjie's single defense ability is very strong, even strong enough to rewrite the definition of the word center. In today's task of locking James, An Jie's role is also indispensable.

But what really made James lose was not Anjie alone, but the entire Trail Blazers team working together.

When James managed to break through Anjie's defense, he didn't have the energy to worry about those damn defensive traps.

It can be said that Anjie is only the first wall against James. But what really knocked James off the horse was the Trail Blazers' entire defensive system.

Seeing An Jie's calm expression made the reporters and commentators feel even more uneasy. Could it be that something like defeating the Heat by 33 points is so trivial in Anjie's view?

"When the Blazers defeated the Spurs, we saw the same expression on Anjie's face. The championship, now only the championship can satisfy this monster!" Kenny Smith has been frightened too much today.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Smith. Everyone knows that Anjie is extremely competitive, but who would have thought that he would take such crazy revenge after the team lost by 19 points? .

"The Trail Blazers are leading again. This youth team has done too much impossible. The Heat must take good care of the next two games at the American Airlines Center. Otherwise, the Trail Blazers are likely to be in Miami. Solve the battle!" Bill Walton's words are not alarmist, what the Trail Blazers showed today is definitely something they absolutely did not have in the regular season. The Trail Blazers star knows that Ricard has inspired the maximum potential of this lineup!

For a time, almost everyone was full of praise for the Blazers. These guys seem to have forgotten how they were berating the failed Blazers just two days ago.

An Jie turned a deaf ear to all the voices from the outside world, and the compliments from those foolish people were worthless.

He just sat quietly in the physiotherapy room, enjoying the relaxation given to his muscles by the masseuse.

Confronting James head-on is far more difficult than the outside world imagines. An Jie even wondered whether that guy's body was made of meat or not.

In order to keep up with James' rhythm, An Jie almost pushed his body to the limit. However, the end result of such extreme operation was that after returning to the locker room, An Jie could hardly stand up.

"Well, it doesn't feel good to fight against that guy LeBron." Iguodala, who was lying on a bed next to Anjie, laughed and teased.

"I really admire you, Andre, I don't even know how you survived before." An Jie replied with his eyes closed. Opening his eyelids is extremely difficult for An Jie now.

"In the next game, these defensive traps should not be easy to use." An Jie couldn't help worrying. This is the case in the playoffs, and both sides are constantly evolving and changing. Maybe the experience of winning the last game will not work in the next game.

"Let's not worry about this, we just won a big victory, a massacre victory. What you have to do now is to recover your physical fitness as much as possible and prepare for a more difficult battle." Iguoda Ra did not answer Anjie's question, but gave the young leader a proposal.

No matter how powerful the performance is, it must be played steadily. There are too many short-lived people in this league, but how many people can still be remembered now?

Maybe today, the outside world pushes Anjie to be number one in history. But if the game is lost in the end, An Jie is nothing.

How to play it stably? Iguodala knows that in addition to high-quality training, adequate rest is an integral part.

Outside the therapy session, the rest of the Blazers were celebrating their hard-won win. In the physiotherapy room, An Jie, who has not taken off his jersey, has fallen asleep

※※※

He made 7 of 21 shots and scored only 15 points with a 33% shooting rate. Not just the playoffs, this was perhaps the worst game James has played in years.

His inefficient singles not only made his own data very ugly, but also affected the performance of the rest of the Heat to some extent.

7 of 11, including 9 three-pointers, this is definitely one of the highlight moments of Wesley Matthews' career.

Under Ricard's request that everyone stand up and score, Matthews contributed his greatest strength.

Of course, it's not just Matthews, even the two guys who came off the bench, Batum and Courtney Lee, scored 15 and 13 points respectively. Coupled with Anjie's 27 points and 11 rebounds, the Heat's death is not wronged at all.

This group of polarized data comparisons naturally became the focus of discussion by the media the next day.

"The first player in the league to give way? James was crushed by Anjie."

"The easiest finals, the Blazers stopped the Heat!"

"33 points, where is the home field advantage of the defending champion?"

After being pushed to the forefront a few days ago, the media have been changing their mouths and putting the Trail Blazers in a stronger position.

Faced with such a great humiliation, the Big Three of the Heat are not willing to sit idly by.

These three guys are the three biggest names in the entire Heat team, but they are also the three who worked the hardest in today's training.

"The Trail Blazers just set up a series of defensive traps! Don't be fooled by Anjie, as long as your offense changes more, Ricard's tactics will be self-defeating." Spoelster Ra yelled as the players ran.

Pat Riley watched everything that happened in the training ground with satisfaction in the office on the second floor. It is not terrible to be slaughtered for 33 points. As long as everyone in the Heat wants to win, there is nothing to be afraid of!

On the training ground, James gave Wade a chance to attack inside through his own conduction and Bosh's active blocking.

Wade's knees are covered with protective gear. Every time he runs, his knees will "protest" with pain.

But "The Flash" can't control so much now, even though the heart-piercing pain is torturing his nerves, he still has to speed up to score!

"Boom!" Wade's breakthrough like an arrow off the string allowed him to easily complete a one-handed dunk. Although the strength and take-off height were not as good as before, this dunk has clearly expressed Wade's determination.

Ray Allen, who was defending Wade, just stood there blankly. Wade just now definitely played like a flashback!

After the goal, Wade and James and Bosh high-five. Although it was just training, the trio that shocked the alliance was already full of murderous intent.

An Jie and Blazers, who have experienced a massacre, should be careful, after all, they have pushed the terrifying fantasy Big Three into a desperate situation.

At this time, even a goat waiting to be caught will launch a deadly attack like a lion!

Are the Big Three GOAT? Too bad they're another lion! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
