The Way of the Center

"Beep!" At the end of the game, the orange basketball thrown by An Jie with one hand was still spinning in the air.

After An Jie shot the ball, he turned his back to the basket and raised his arms high. Whether this kind of ball can be scored, An Jie will know the moment he takes the shot.

"The goal is scored! An incredible anti-lore! Ann, even if there is only 0.8 seconds left in the game, he can't stop him from leading the team to victory! Great center, great player, Ann is definitely the symbol of basketball in this era!" Mike Breen didn't know what he was yelling anymore, because of the landslide-like cheers at the Moda Center, Mike Breen couldn't even hear his own roar.

When the rest of the Trail Blazers saw the basketball fall into the net, they were all stunned for a second before suddenly reacting. One by one, they rushed to An Jie who raised his arms high, and hugged the tall and strong guy tightly.

"You did it again! Damn it, you did it again!" Aldridge shouted in Anjie's ear. He has assisted Anjie on the sideline more than once to complete the impossible task. He couldn't believe that he had been working with such a guy all this time.

While the players were still celebrating their victory on the field, the ESPN broadcaster had already presented the replay of Anjie's lore to the audience.

Through the slow-motion playback, the fans clearly saw that Anjie just caught the basketball in the air just right, and threw it out with one hand. And the moment Anjie threw the ball, there were 0.2 seconds left in the game.

There is no doubt that this is an absolutely effective and undisputed goal. An Jie once again completed another wonderful lore in his career in an incredible way.

After the emotions calmed down, Mike Breen's voice returned to normal. He looked at his partner beside him, Jeff Van Gundy, whose hair was about to fall out. Van Gundy didn't say anything during this period, he just stared blankly at the court, staring at the back of No. 00.

Brat, the wings are really hard...

After seeing the results and replays, the Warriors players had no choice but to walk toward the player tunnel in silence. Today, the Warriors played a good game. Without Anjie, Curry's shot after playing Lillard will become one of the classic lore scenes in the history of the playoffs.

But it's a pity that even though the Warriors and Curry are already very strong, Anjie can always perform miracles.

Steve Kerr looked at the score on the big screen, smiled and shook his head. Here, it is always the Moda Center. To win on this field, the Warriors may have to work harder.

Losing an away game is not the end of the world for the Warriors. At least in today's game, they pushed the defending champion, who was in full swing, to a corner.

As long as they sum up their experience and strive to perform better, the Warriors still have hope to defeat the Trail Blazers and end a legendary era.

"Wait George, next game, it's time for us to cheer." Cole was the last to disappear at the corner of the player tunnel. Today, let the Trail Blazers have a good carnival.

※※※

"Anjie Kills the Warriors in 0.8 Seconds! The Trail Blazers continue their winning streak! "

"The 0.8-second lore creates another classic, counting down the top ten lore moments in Anjie's career! "

"Steve Kerr: It's no accident that the Blazers reversed the score in the last 0.8 seconds, but the Warriors haven't conceded defeat yet. "

Today is the start of the Eastern Conference Finals. The biggest dark horse in the Eastern Conference this year, the Eagles, who won the first place in the regular season, will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, who made the playoffs for the first time after James returned home.

It stands to reason that this game should be a much-anticipated duel. Can James defeat a strong enemy, and can the East escape James' rule. These topics are enough for the media to write about them.

However, apart from the two cities of Cleveland and Atlanta, no region in the world put the Eastern Conference finals first to report.

Anjie's lore and the Trail Blazers' victory became the hottest news in the NBA the next day, bar none.

This hot topical news even greatly affected the "party" of the Trail Blazers.

"Hey, let's do it again!" In the training ground of Moda Center, Robin Lopez yelled at Aldridge who was standing on the sideline.

Aldridge raised his hand to signal that he was ready, and Robin began to run from outside the three-point line. When he was about to run to the middle distance position, Aldridge made a sudden pass from the sideline.

Robin Lopez leaped high, holding the basketball with one hand, and awkwardly pushed the ball towards the basket in the air.

After landing, Robin Lopez couldn't wait to turn around before the basketball hit the net, raising his arms high. However, the next second, there was the sound of iron striking behind him.

"Fuck, failed again!" Lopez scratched his afro, and the rest of the Trail Blazers laughed.

"I really don't know how you did it last night. I have tried several times just to catch the ball steadily." Robin Lopez picked up the basketball and complained.

"Don't imitate Robin. If you could do this, the league would have made you the MVP." Iguodala threw a bottle of Gatorade to Robin Lopez. An Jie was already exhausted. Moreover, it has never been successful.

"Okay, guys, get ready to start training. I don't want to win every game until that point. Everyone has experienced the strength of the Warriors yesterday. After the matchup, we have to continue Just work hard!" An Jie, who was sitting on the floor watching Robin Lopez's performance, stood up, clapped his hands, and called his teammates to prepare for the next formal training.

"Come on!" After hearing An Jie's words, the others shouted, then put away their smiles and devoted themselves to warming up seriously.

An Jie's influence on this team has grown. After all, who would not be convinced by a leader who can lead the team to victory?

The morale of the Trail Blazers is high, and the Warriors, who suffered a lore yesterday, are not discouraged.

This season, being able to push the Trail Blazers into a lore situation is enough to prove how strong the Warriors are.

Such things as lore do not happen every day, but Cole saw the full strength of his team in the last game.

"Swipe!" The sound of friction as the basketball passed through the net sounded again, and Cole looked up. Stephen Curry aggressively runs to the next shot, ready to catch a pass from the assistant coach.

It seems that both sides are very eager to win the game. The scariest thing is that both teams work just as hard.

God will never favor anyone. The Warriors have made an action, and they will definitely be rewarded on the basketball court.

On May 20, Game 1 of the tepid Eastern Conference finals ended with a victory for the Cavaliers. Tonight, not many fans cheered for the Cavaliers' victory. They put more energy on the two teams that are still training in the City of Roses.

On May 21, Game 2 of the much-anticipated Western Conference Finals kicked off as scheduled.

This game was the same as before, from the first second, it was very intense.

The two sides are still fighting back and forth, inseparable. Stephen Curry showed off his super personal ability on the court, and Anjie was still unstoppable inside.

The "script" of the entire game looked exactly the same as the previous game.

In the last 33 seconds of the game, Stephen Curry evaded Anjie's block and completed a layup. The Blazers trailed the Warriors by one point.

At the last moment, Anjie failed to hit a mid-range shot. Draymond Green's double-teaming speed was indeed far beyond Anjie's expectations. Because of this, Anjie's shooting rhythm was completely lost by Green who suddenly came out. upset.

Aldridge grabbed the offensive rebound, but when he was about to jump for a second layup, the red light on the backboard was already on.

Steve Kerr spread his arms, enjoying the boos coming from behind him. He knew that his team would not be completely defeated in the City of Roses. And there were lore scenes in two consecutive games, which made this series a topic that fans talked about.

On May 22, in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers once again beat the Hawks, and the fans once again ignored the existence of this game.

On May 23, the flames of war in the Western Conference finals spread to Oakland. There, Warriors fans were ready to let the defending champion see the passion of Oakland.

Ever since Anjie and the others got off the team bus, the shouting and booing from the Warriors fans never stopped.

"Beat, Rip, City! Beat, Rip, City!..." The yelling of defeating the tearing city has become the most orderly voice in Oracle Arena.

Curry continued his excellent performance in the last game. Today he scored 40 points with a terrifying three-point shooting rate of 77.8%, helping the Warriors defeat the defending champion Trail Blazers for the second consecutive game.

The moment the game ended, the whole world was boiling. 2 to 1 behind, this is the first time the Trail Blazers have fallen behind in the playoffs since 2013!

People believe that the Golden State Warriors are the team that can end the Trail Blazers' dominance!

Stephen Curry's outstanding performance in the playoffs made him instantly a superstar on the same level as James and others.

Even An Jie, who lost the game, couldn't believe that a single person could shoot a three-pointer like this!

He played Kobe, he played Ray Allen, he played a lot of great perimeter players. But none of them can completely change the rules of basketball as a sport like Curry.

"I can say that Ann and the Trail Blazers were completely shot to death by Curry today! In the past, we all said that it is impossible to win by shooting alone. But today, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors , but broke this law. Facing the Trail Blazers with strong interior defense and full offensive firepower, the Warriors won a big victory by relying on shooting!"

"It's now 2-1 in the Western Conference finals. God, I can't even remember the last time the Trail Blazers were behind in the playoffs. Hopefully the Blazers can find a solution quickly, if If they lose another away game in the next game and return to Portland with a 3-1 score, the situation will be quite unfavorable to them.” Jeff Van Gundy worried about his favorite student , The Warriors' style of play also subverted Van Gundy's perception of basketball. He has always supported Anjie and the Blazers, and he believes that the traditional way is the only way to win the championship.

But now, the pioneers who have developed the tradition to the extreme have fallen into a big crisis.

The team is behind, but there is still an away game to play. The time to test Anjie and the Trail Blazers has really arrived.
