The Way of the Center

Chapter 593: The Attack and Defense That Changed History

The last timeout was very long for the fans. 100 to 103, 15 seconds, 3 points difference. All these factors have made the air in the Rose Garden thin, making it difficult for the fans watching the game to breathe.

"What's the matter?" The bearded man watched his daughter clutching her chest, sweating profusely. He thought it was Catherine who was feeling unwell?

"I'm just, so nervous...Dad." Catherine couldn't sit down, she couldn't sit still. If the game is dragged into overtime, it means that the O'Brien Cup is still in danger of being taken away.

The Blazers have no room for mistakes, even a single mistake or negligence will wipe everything out.

And what about the Heat? They still have a way to retreat, it's a big deal, and they will regroup and do it again in the next game.

In other words, although the Blazers are in the lead now. But the pressure on them is far greater than that of the Heat!

"The last step guys, we're only 15 seconds away from the Heat's dream of winning the championship and dragging the series to the tiebreaker! Don't lose your position, you must not lose your position! Give them two points, but never let it go. Anyone who shoots from outside the three-point line! Anyone, even if Bosh, whose shooting percentage is terrible today, is outside the three-point line, you have to post it for me!" Ricard tried to make his voice sound calm, you Think this foul-mouthed guy isn't nervous? He is just a young coach who coached an NBA team for the second year, a young coach who climbed from the high school league to the NBA stage!

It's just that he has to restrain himself, because if even he, the coach, panics, then the players will be even more unstable.

"They are dead, work harder brothers, the Heat are dead!" An Jie suddenly stood up and shouted at his teammates. At the same time, the electronic buzzer resounded throughout the audience, and the 15-second fatality was just the beginning!

The Heat were driven by James holding the ball, and Anjie stood very forward. He was not afraid of the Heat's breakthrough, but he was afraid that the Heat would find a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Just as clocks never run backwards, mistakes made on a hardwood cricket pitch are irreversible.

When you really start looking at the game of basketball, it's always about making mistakes. The team that best exploits its opponent's mistakes wins, and even at the highest level of competition, mistakes can rule basketball.

In order to make the Heat make mistakes, Iguodala has pressed the Heat's No. 6 from the beginning of James.

Many fans illogically claim that there is no point in one-man pressing of the ball holder, based on the knowledge that all pressing can quickly produce turnovers. But it's not. In this particular situation, the Blazers wanted to get as much time off the timer as possible, and wanted the Heat's attack to be their last shot of the game.

The Heat hope to hit a three-pointer as soon as possible, and if they miss, they will have another chance to shoot again.

At this moment, besides the Big Three, the Heat have Chalmers and Ray Allen on the court.

Chalmers' miraculous expression just a few minutes ago is definitely enough to make people worry, and Ray Allen is also a good player to kill the game.

Therefore, in this offense, the Big Three are no longer the only option for shooting three-pointers. Spoelstra is also making mistakes, using this threatening lineup to make the Blazers' mistakes on the defensive end.

James stumbled through the half with the ball, at least the first step, and he managed to do it.

After that, Chalmers threw to James from the left wing, hoping to form a hand-to-hand cooperation with James. Hand-to-hand in this situation is not uncommon. This tactic can make the players move quickly on the field, and it is also necessary to make the defense confused and out of position.

Switch defenses, this is the first test of the Blazers' defense! Lillard was completely blocked by the strong James, and Iguodala hesitated, but still ran over with Chalmers.

In this way, the person defending James becomes Lillard who is at a disadvantage in all aspects!

When players have little time to make a decision, even the strongest defense can get unnerved by questions thrown by the offense. Lillard has no choice, he can only bravely stand in front of James.

At the same time, James started to run, and he borrowed Bosh's off-ball pick-and-roll to win space for a three-point shot for himself!

"It's now!" Chalmers suddenly passed the ball, turning James' running position into an opportunity.

Lillard and Aldridge did not dare to slack off, and they both blocked James, hoping to prevent the final blow of this offensive tactic!

As a result, Bosh is empty.

Fatigue affects everyone, and at this point James can't face up to the basket like he usually does because of his lack of footwork. When you shoot a jumper, a lot of your strength comes from your legs. After a season, when you run on the court non-stop every night, your legs can easily lose their control.

James leaned forward at this time, trying to stretch his body to make up for the lack of strength in his legs. His back is straight, and power is transmitted through the hips to the knees and legs. His release point is lower and further back than usual, also because of fatigue that prevents him from stretching his huge shoulders normally. All the little tweaks add to the uncertainty of the shot, and even the best shooters aren't shooting machines, and even the most picturesque shots are full of uncertainty. Any slight mistake in a shot adds to that uncertainty, and everything in basketball is about mistakes.

The basketball James shot knocked out of the frame, and many Trail Blazers fans cheered instantly. It's over, it's over!

But even now, nobody notices, Bosh is empty!

An Jie, who was standing in the front position, turned his head happily, but this time, he didn't get the rebound as he wished. The unattended Bosh leaped high. This guy's performance in rebounding throughout the season was not satisfactory, and he was even dubbed "Bosh" by the fans. But today, at this very moment, Bosh leaped high, but picked off perhaps the most important offensive rebound in his career!

"Ann failed to protect the backcourt rebound, Chris Bosh, what will he do!?" Everyone grew their mouths, and Bosh was able to steal the offensive rebound from Anjie's head. Should be in the script.

At the moment, everyone's attention is on Bosh. The Trail Blazers also began to make mistakes. They only knew that Bosh was full of threats, but they didn't see a legendary shooter who was quietly retreating to the bottom corner.

Mistakes, mistakes, and basketball.

But at this moment, there is still one person who did not continue to make mistakes.

As soon as Bosh hit the ground, he made a pass, and the basketball flew into Ray Allen's hands without hindrance.

At this time, people discovered that Ray Allen had already got an open shot! The Blazers fans who were still cheering took a breath.

Ray Allen jumped high, he is not James, he is still quite energetic. The legendary shooter of the 96 golden generation straightened his arms, ready to shoot. But just when he was about to throw the ball, a huge shadow appeared in front of Ray Allen.

On this court, there is still such a person who has not made mistakes.

"An Jie! It's An Jie! His keen defensive sense made him quickly jump in front of Ray Allen. Can An Jie, who just lost a rebound, make up for it!?" Yu Jia stood up and yelled loudly. Chinese fans are also tense!

Volleyball cap? didn't show up. Before Ray Allen made a shot, An Jie even took the ball with him, and directly pressed down Ray Allen who was about to shoot!

The referee didn't blow his whistle, even though the block looked intense. Ray Allen fell to the ground, and the basketball hit the hardwood floor again.

At the same time, the red light on the backboard lights up, the timer resets to zero, and the electronic beep sounds again.

Everyone was still in shock, what happened just now was too fast.

But what about Anjie? This guy stood in front of Ray Allen with his arms raised high, swearing that he was the only king of the rose garden! 100 to 103, the score on the big screen still hasn't changed! this means......

"An successfully blocked the block! The game is over! The game is over! The Heat failed to drag the game into overtime, and An Jie's block blocked LeBron's O'Brien Cup!"

The audience erupted like a volcanic eruption, and the players of the Trail Blazers jumped on An Jie excitedly.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" There was a neat shout at the scene, which was louder than the abuse An Jie received in the American Airlines Center!

An Jie is hugged by his teammates, you can no longer see where he is.

But the arm that was raised high did not let go. He is like a banner, so that Portland will always have hope!

3 to 3! The finals, blocked by An Jie, dragged into the last moment!

Everything in basketball is about mistakes, but the person who can make up for mistakes with his own actions is the final winner!

Ray Allen's shot almost changed history, but Anjie's block successfully changed history.
