The Way of the Center

Today, the player tunnel at the Moda Center is very busy. Many unfamiliar faces appeared here, because today, it is very likely that a new world champion will be born soon, so many nba staff have come here to make preparations.

Looking at the busy scene in the player tunnel, James couldn't help thinking of the year before last, in Miami, when the situation in the American Airlines Center was exactly the same as it is now. The difference is that it was the Heat that were likely to win the championship at that time.

"Slow down, slow down, if this thing breaks, all of us will be finished!" At this moment, several workers carried a big box and walked to the home team's locker room.

There is no sign on this box, but James knows that there is nothing else that can be moved to the locker room except champagne.

Trail Blazers owner, former Microsoft tycoon Paul Allen did not hesitate to spend $160,000 to prepare champagne for the players. Don't look at the players spraying champagne like water after winning the championship. But in fact, every bottle of champagne in their hands is expensive.

The atmosphere of the championship, James feels a strong atmosphere of the championship here. The O'Brien Cup must be somewhere in the player tunnel at this moment, waiting for its owner to take him away.

It seems that the Trail Blazers have regarded today as a celebration day. They don't intend to keep the series going, they want to end it all on their doorstep!

"Damn it, you haven't won yet!" Looking at the scenes in front of him, James couldn't help clenching his fists. Today, he is going to be the spoiler who ruins other people's beautiful parties!

Catherine was wearing a T-shirt with the championship trophy and a championship commemorative cap, bouncing towards the Moda Center. Today, on the square outside the Moda Center, the Trail Blazers have officially set up many large electronic screens and temporary stages. Because later, there will be tens of thousands of fans who cannot enter the stadium to fight with the Trail Blazers on the sidelines.

The enthusiastic DJ performance, excited fans, before entering the arena, this warm atmosphere made Catherine feel adrenaline soaring.

"Hey! Tell An Jie later, tell him to bring me a bottle of champagne! Those bastards, you can't ruin all the good champagne!" The bearded man elbowed himself Daughter, she smiled wickedly.

"Dad, really, isn't there enough wine in the house?" Just as the father and daughter were bickering, the sharp-eyed Catherine spotted An Jie's parents. Catherine beckoned to the two elders, and seeing her pregnant daughter-in-law so energetic, An Jie's parents smiled even more happily.

"Oh, take it easy, Catherine. You're in a tough time,

I can't be so careless anymore. "In order to be able to communicate with his daughter-in-law during this trip to the United States, An Jie's father learned oral English two months in advance.

Although his current English pronunciation is still not standard, Catherine can still roughly understand the meaning even after listening and guessing.

"Hey, it's okay, I will protect myself." Catherine replied with a smile.

After the rendezvous, the four people passed through the crowd and came to the VIP passage. Today, even the VIP channel is crowded.

Big names and stars in all circles hope to witness the birth of a new champion. So, before entering the arena, the Moda Center is already full of stars.

It's less like a game and more like a big party. Almost everyone believed that Anjie would lead the team to win the championship today! However, they don't know how much energy the Heat's Big Three, who are neglected in the corner, will burst out!

"The series isn't over guys! Look outside, look! This group of guys, it's as if the total score at this moment has become 4 to 1! I think we have to use our performance to let that The group of guys know that today is the fifth game of the finals, not a big party scene! Records are used to break, we want to be the first team to win the championship with a 3-1 comeback in the finals!" Spohr Stella yelled loudly in the locker room. The Filipino coach is rarely as excited as he is today.

Instead of being demoralized, the players of the Heat are gearing up because of external stimuli.

Do you think you have won? No, the Heat haven't surrendered yet!

"Dwyane Wade's pull-up jumper is beautiful! Look at Wesley Matthews, his defense should not be so loose! I know, today is likely to be a big day for the Trail Blazers. But the players You must work hard to finish this game first!" At the beginning of the game, "The Flash" Wade poured cold water on the Portland fans with a beautiful pull-up jumper.

It would have been bad enough that Lillard missed a shot from beyond the three-point line at the beginning of the game. Who knew that Wade would fight back as soon as he came over.

"It seems that the Heat have not given up resistance. Judging from the momentum at the beginning, the Heat are still playing with the goal of making a comeback!" Mike Brin immediately caught Van Gundy's words, and he rarely saw any ball The team can play so hard even when they are behind 3-1.

After being scored a goal, the Trail Blazers seemed a little anxious. To be honest, at this point in the series, the Heat have nothing to lose. Instead, the Trail Blazers, who are about to win the Gold Cup, are under tremendous pressure.

The impatient Lillard wanted to get the ball inside as soon as possible, and let Anjie stabilize the situation first. However, just as his basketball was passed, it was intercepted by James' big player!

Compared with James, Lillard, the champion point guard, is still too immature. It can be seen from the last game that James completely locked Lillard, the gap between the two is still very huge.

Moreover, the anxious Lillard's passing intention this time is too obvious. Seeing that the basketball was intercepted, Ricard unconsciously swears again.

But James would not stop because of Ricard's dissatisfaction. This strong and unwilling guy ran all the way. James, who was rushing to speed at this moment, was completely a tank armed to the teeth. As long as you are a sensible person, you will not want to stop this "big truck" that is out of control.

James was riding a thousand horses, and took off suddenly one step inside the free throw line. The strong guy stretches his body in the air and lifts the basketball high. In the next second, LeBron swung with all his strength, and the basketball was smashed into the frame!

"The iconic tomahawk-style dunk, LeBron James! This is definitely a dangerous signal. If the Trail Blazers want to end everything in Portland, they better work harder!" Kenny Smith yelled Even overshadowing the noisy boos at the scene, James' dunk did not win the applause of the Portland fans, but he won his dignity.

At the beginning, Wade and James expressed their views. Even in this series, the Heat really have little hope. But they will still fight to the end! Want the Heat to hand over the championship trophy to Anjie? Don't even think about it!

"Cheer up guys, we still have 48 minutes to play! We can't lose, we must not lose today!" An Jie also saw that his teammates were a little lax and impatient. At this time, he must take the lead on the field.

An Jie yelled loudly first, and then he would use actions to set an example for his teammates.

This time, Lillard no longer dared to pass the ball carelessly. Even facing Chalmers, who has been defeated several times by himself, Lillard is very cautious.

Anjie fought desperately in the depths, no matter how Bosh obstructed, Anjie would use his strength and skills to squeeze out the space.

James is ready to steal once again, and Anjie is working so hard, Lillard must still be the target of the pass!

At this moment, Lillard made a pass! The basketball flew past Chalmers' scalp. James immediately moved a step, ready to reach out and steal.

However, the basketball didn't fly to Anjie, but to Iguodala's position.

"Damn it!" James immediately took back his steps and forcibly changed his center of gravity. But even James couldn't be faster than basketball.

When James finally came back, Iguodala had the ball. As soon as Iguodala received the ball, before he got the heat, he hit a pass from James' armpit. After a round, the basketball was finally safely delivered to An Jie!

No matter how strong James is, it is impossible to intercept all the passes of the Trail Blazers players. But he still didn't give up. The indomitable Heat Six left Iguodala and went straight to Anjie.

An Jie glanced at James from the corner of his eye, knowing that someone was coming up to double-team, An Jie had to be mentally prepared to avoid being robbed continuously by James like last year.

Why is Anjie terrifying, why can he sweep the entire basketball world? Not only because An Jie's performance on the field is strong enough, but because even now, people find that An Jie's abilities seem to have not been capped!

Last season, James could use this stealth double-team to guard Anjie. But this year, the same trick doesn't work anymore.

Anjie's butt pushed back hard. This collision also made Bosh think that Anjie wanted to use a back cut to reach the basket.

Just when Bosh had just adjusted his weight-bearing feet to defend against An Jie, An Jie's pace suddenly changed!

I saw that the tall No. 00 turned around flexibly and passed the top-defending Bosh in just one step. Top defense can allow an insider with insufficient strength to bear a violent impact, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to change the center of gravity. If the opponent breaks through, it will be difficult for the top defense to react. An Jie took advantage of this to easily complete the breakthrough.

After turning around and breaking through, both James and Bosh were blocked by Anjie's strong back.

An Jie jumped directly under the basket, and it seemed that a powerful dunk was inevitable. Bosh jumped up quickly, but he couldn't even reach the ball.

Where is James? James just stood there, watching the 00 who jumped higher and higher completed the dunk. "Little Emperor" knew that if he stretched out his hand now, it would definitely be a foul. I would rather give An Jie two points than give him a chance to hit three points.

After turning around and breaking through, he pulled the frame vigorously. As soon as An Jie scored a goal, the entire Moda Center and the square outside the stadium burst into screams from the fans. The fans collectively lowered their hands, lowered their heads, and shouted loudly: "Salute to His Majesty the King!"

Want to stir up the Night of Champions in the City of Yellow Roses? James and Wade have to ask the rulers here if they agree!

Three extraordinary people, three wonderful goals. The fifth game of the finals seemed to be more exciting than people imagined.

The championship is at the doorstep, it depends on whether An Jie can reach out and get it...
