The Way of the Center

Even if the game returns to the Rose Garden today, many fans are still worried about the prospects of the Blazers. Among them is Bill Wharton, a pioneer who has now become a well-known commentator.

The high morale of the Trail Blazers players just now is indeed gratifying. The spirit of this group of boys who still do not intend to give up in desperation is enough to be a role model for all teams.

Morale is important, but a basketball game cannot be won on morale alone. The problems that Ricard and the Blazers need to solve are far more complicated than morale.

"In the two games lost in a row at the American Airlines Center, the Big Three of the Heat played well. The Blazers restrained the Big Three in the first three contests between the two sides, but in the last two games, Spoel Stella's adjustment made the Blazers obviously not do this well." Bill Walton looked nervously at the field, if Anjie was defeated by the Big Three again today, the Blazers would have no next chance.

"When the Big Three of the Heat started to connect, even a strong defensive team like the Blazers couldn't do anything to them. I hope Coach Ricard found a new way to contain the Big Three in the past few days, otherwise, today's I am afraid that the outcome of this game will be difficult to change." Mike Breen made a professional and neutral comment.

The Big Three, everything is because of the Big Three of the Heat. Is this really the case? No, Ricard doesn't think so

Back on the court, Anjie, who won the first attack, proved his determination with a tough dunk at the basket at the beginning of the game.

When Chris Bosh faced Anger in the paint, he was no different from a defensive colander. As long as he doesn't encounter James' double-team, Anjie can fight Bosh as he wants.

An Jie was not lenient when it came to expressing his opinion. After dunking in, he ignored the "Dragon King" who was facing him, but hooked his fingers at James.

"It's just a bluff. As long as we do what we did before, we can beat them!" James patted Bosh on the shoulder. He must keep all the members of the Heat in a state of extreme excitement and confidence. Because the confrontation in the first three games of the series has proved that it is too much to fight alone in front of the Blazers.

Not just the Big Three,

The Blazers' impenetrable defense will only be hampered when everyone on the Heat is threatening. And once the Blazers' defense is restrained, there will be a lot of gaps in front of the Big Three!

This is also the problem that Ricard discovered when he studied the video during the night vigil. The role player of the Heat played an indispensable key role in the victory of those two games. It is precisely because the Blazers' lax defense of them made this group of role players feel that they were able to contain the defense with goals again and again.

So today, when Chalmers was holding the ball forward. However, he unexpectedly discovered that Lillard's close defense of him was even to the point of being merciless!

"This is the defensive treatment that only superstars can enjoy!" Even Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh, whether Ricard had a mental breakdown after losing the game. Instead of making special arrangements for the Big Three, he let the players pester Chalmers instead? Smith really couldn't figure out what the Blazers could get in return for this waste of energy.

Chalmers was afraid of his mistakes, so he could only give the ball to Wade. As soon as Wade has the ball, the entire Heat team is also running. But no matter who it was, they all stuck to their counterpoint. Even Haslem, who has no offensive ability, was bitten by Aldridge.

In this way, the Trail Blazers' defense will not have too many loopholes. Wade waited a while and realized he still didn't have a good pass option. So the soul of the Heat team began to dribble, and he planned to break through Matthews!

Matthews fixed his eyes on Wade, he believed that his teammates could handle the rest, and he just wanted to watch Wade die.

Wade suddenly sped up and started, but the injured "Flash" was not as fast as in the previous two games. Matthews moved sideways while backing up, blocking Wade's breakthrough route with his strong body.

Seeing that Matthews retreated in a timely manner, Wade suddenly took a step back and made a sudden stop for a jumper!

In the first two games at the American Airlines Center, Matthews suffered a lot from Wade's move.

But today, Matthews, who is already very familiar with Wade, was not fooled again. He quickly adjusted his center of gravity and rushed forward in time.

Wade's step-back jumper was greatly disturbed, and the basketball shot was very crooked. As for Bosh and Haslem, only Anjie, who was stuck in a good position, won the rebound steadily.

An Jie did not pass the ball in a hurry after holding the ball. He signaled Lillard not to rush forward, but to suppress the rhythm first and play positional warfare.

Slowing down the offense may make the Blazers lose some surprise opportunities, but at the same time, it will also reduce their chances of turnovers.

An Jie is not in a hurry to score today, he just wants to keep the ball as much as possible and seize every offensive opportunity as much as possible.

"Facts have proved that the final evolution of modern basketball is not a style of playing faster and faster. If that is the case, the Blazers simply cannot survive to the present."

Lillard dribbled the ball across half court unhurriedly, and Anjie had already run to the inside to take his position.

The best rookie is still thinking about how to organize this attack, but An Jie raised his hand and asked for the ball.

"Ann's desire to attack today is very strong. As soon as he was in position, he took the initiative to ask for the ball! I hope his hard work will not make this young core become impatient." While Mike Breen was speaking, Lillard passed the shot. The way of passing the ball on the ground allowed Anjie to control the ball as he wished.

"Let's, go, an! Let's, go, an!" Immediately, fans cheered for Anjie from the entire Rose Garden, and on the square outside the Rose Garden, there were twice as many people as there were fans present. All chanting the same slogan.

Hearing such shouts, An Jie's adrenaline surged instantly. But this guy hasn't lost his mind. He knows that James can't sit idly by in the face of his positive self.

Sure enough, through the corner of the eye, Anjie James was secretly attacking him. Seeing this situation, An Jie didn't panic, but pretended to attack, and started to sit back!

In the first two games lost, James let Angel, who rarely makes mistakes, make mistakes again and again. But today, An Jie came prepared.

Seeing that James and Bosh had already formed an encirclement circle, Anjie did not hesitate, and raised his arm to make a pass. The basketball flew over James' head and came into the hands of Iguodala!

"This fox!" James hurried back to the defense, Anjie's active positioning and desire to attack were all illusions! This guy, from the very beginning, intends to attract double teams and pass the ball.

Iguodala was not disturbed by James' replay. Whether the Blazers can win today and whether Anjie can get rid of the double-team depends on whether he, the third position, can make the ball.

Iguodala shot resolutely, and James came from behind, but he could no longer touch the basketball.

Iguodala's three-point shooting has not been stable, and all Heat players have such a fluke mentality.

It's just a pity that the basketball thrown by Iguodala went hollow into the net, breaking the beautiful fantasy of the Heat fans! If the defense is not done well, it is doomed to suffer. Don't count on God, God can't take care of you all the time!

"A goal, a rebound, and an assist. Only two rounds into the game, Anjie has already scored on these three statistics. I hope that Anjie's all-round performance can continue like this." Although Anjie Jay was just an assist, although Iguodala scored the goal. But almost all commentators gave Anjie the credit for this goal. Without him to contain him inside, Iguodala would not be able to easily shoot under James' defense.

The Heat quickly launched a counterattack, and Chalmers discovered that Lillard was still relentless towards him while advancing with the ball!

If the Blazers' strange defense in the first round was just an accident, or a statement. So in this second round, why are Lillard and Aldridge still reluctant to forgive players other than the Big Three?

Chalmers didn't have time to think about these things. He knew that as long as he was a little distracted, Lillard could quickly snatch the basketball away.

Passing the ball as soon as halftime is over is the only thing Chalmers can do now.

Wade held the ball again, just like before, he still didn't see the gap. The teammates' running without the ball is always restricted so that there is no room for receiving the ball.

At this moment, Wade found that Bosh had gone around the inside and helped James, who cut in from the bottom corner, complete the off-ball pick-and-roll. What is gratifying is that Anjie, the frame protector, was also brought out by Bosh!

Wade didn't hesitate and passed the ball immediately. The basketball passed through the gap between the crowd and went straight to where James was.

As soon as James catches the ball, he can face an empty basket and take off and dunk. The Blazers' defense still hasn't improved!

A big hand with five fingers spread out, firmly caught the basketball. Instead of dunking, James immediately turned around and returned to defense. Because the person who got the basketball in the middle was not the "little emperor" who cut in, but Anjie who was brought to the middle distance by Bosh!

This time, An Jie didn't intend to press the rhythm. Lillard wants to run, so let him run as much as he wants.

A long ball that seemed certain to go out of bounds appeared again, but the Rose Garden fans had no fear that the ball would actually go out of bounds.

As early as the Thunder period, Angie often used this pass to help Westbrook play a fast break. And now, there's Damian Lillard picking up a brilliant pass from Ainger.

When Lillard unloaded the ball, he was already in the Heat's half court. As for the Heat players, none of them could rush around Lillard.

Lillard leaped high and succeeded in one-handed dunking. This scene made the taxi driver in the tenth row behind the rebound jump up and celebrate wildly. Around him, there are also fans who are too excited!

"You have to change your tactics, Dwyane. You can't keep using this tactic, or I will continue to steal the ball." Anjie blinked at Wade, and the same method can be used a few times, don't let go.

The unconvinced Big Three pressed back aggressively. This time, the running of Wade, James and others created a certain space for Bosh.

Anjie, who needs to help defend the basket at any time, was a little hesitant when James and Wade cut in, so when Bosh got a chance, Anjie actually didn't have many opportunities to make up for it.

However, people's potential can always be stimulated in desperate situations. God knows how fast An Jie ran just now when he made up the defense. In Bosh's self-considered "safe distance", An Jie rushed in front of Bosh in a daze, and it was a big risk to cover his face!

"Oh! An's iconic volleyball hat! Scores, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks. Pentathlon, Anjie completed all five things in a short period of time!"

Seeing the basketball flying out of bounds in embarrassment, the Filipino immediately called a timeout.

An Jie's state today looks very dangerous! He must stop this momentum, otherwise, An Jie will destroy everything.

The Rose Garden was boiling, and within a few minutes of playing, the Heat were forced to stop the game.

What about Anjie? His eyes were still full of murderous intent. With a total score of 2 to 3, even if they lose another point, the Blazers will end a whole hard season. Therefore, An Jie must win the game today, even if standing in front of him is the fantasy Big Three who are in full swing.

This kind of fight on the edge of the cliff, An Jie will never back down!
