The Way of the Center

"Don't get me wrong! LeBron, he won't admit defeat so easily! If we use this state to face the Cavaliers in tomorrow's game, everyone is waiting to lose!"

Anjie's roar spread in the empty training ground, Ricard and Divac did not speak, these two guys just watched from the sidelines. They know that this moment is not the moment for the coach to intervene.

The training ground was very quiet, except for An Jie, almost everyone lowered their heads. All of these guys are like children who have made a mistake, and they dare not look An Jie directly in the eyes.

A few minutes ago, confrontational training in the team. Lillard's careless pass and Meyers Leonard's casual shot made Anjie finally run out of patience.

After winning Game 1, and now the Cavaliers have lost two giants. Everyone in the Trail Blazers is very relaxed during training.

They believe that the Cavaliers, who are left with James alone, are not opponents of the Blazers at all. Everyone can easily and casually practice, and they can get the O'Brien Cup in their pockets.

On the first day of training, An Jie held back. He hoped that his teammates would treat him well the next day. But today, the attitude of the players is more relaxed than yesterday. This made An Jie's emotions finally explode.

Therefore, the scene just now appeared in the stadium. An Jie suddenly took off his mask and headband, stood in front of everyone, and began to curse.

An Jie knew James, he knew that James was a guy just like himself. A situation like isolation and helplessness will not make James surrender, but will make him stronger and more dangerous. Because if Lillard and Aldridge were injured instead, Anjie would not give up, but would work harder. James, this guy must be the same!

There was no sound on the court, and no one dared to stand up and refute An Jie. Whether it was the rebellious Robin Lopez or the old Miller who was old enough to be An Jie's elder, they all just stood there with their heads down. Because the fault is indeed theirs.

As the leader of the locker room, Anjie rarely gets angry. But that doesn't mean that when he gets angry, others dare to act rashly.

"It's the Finals, guys. If we slack off in the Finals, it's all over! Our 74-win record, how we managed to break the Warriors out of the West...everything we've done this year, Into nothing!" An Jie's tone softened a bit, but he was still tough.

"Come on, guys, even if the Cavaliers are left with only LeBron as an arrow, they are not as easy to deal with as you think! Everyone, at this point, is desperate for a championship! For the championship ,

The Cavaliers will definitely fight us hard! If we take the current state to fight, I am afraid that we will be the laughing stock in the end! "An Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead, put on the mask and headband, and said nothing.

"We'll get back into training, Ann." At this moment, Lillard took the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake.

"That's right boss, I promise to play beautifully during the game!" Meyers Leonard also said carefully.

After An Jie put on the mask, he smiled at his teammates. "Come on guys, let me feel your power!"

"Don't fucking regret it, Ann!" Robin Lopez stretched his muscles, and it seemed that this guy was going for real.

Ricard and Divac smiled at each other. This Trail Blazers team has already been imprinted with Anjie's deep imprint. Without such a leader, the Portland Trail Blazers would never be where they are today.

While the outside world was still reporting the news of Irving's knee surgery, James' Cavaliers and Anjie's Trail Blazers had already begun to prepare hard for the next day's battle.

James must keep a home court for the Cavaliers, and Angie also knows how important the next game is to James.

Everyone thought that the balance of victory in this series had been tilted, but only Anjie and James knew that the third war between them was far from over...

※※※

If Anjie is not traded, will the Oklahoma City Thunder rule the NBA now? If Rose remains healthy, will the youngest mvp be the number one active point guard?

So you see, there are so many ifs in this world. Injuries and various unpredictable factors are originally part of the nba game.

Irving's injury has become a fact, and it is meaningless to dwell on things like "if Irving is not injured".

James is a smart man, he naturally knows the truth of this. Therefore, he will not blame others. Now that the season reimbursement of Irving and Love has become a fact, what James should do now is not to complain, but to accept the reality and solve these problems!

How can this problem be solved? Very simple, James will use his performance to fill the vacancy left by Irving and Love as much as possible.

So today, in the second game of the 2014-2015 NBA Finals, fans all over the world saw a truly all-round LeBron James.

"LeBron holds the ball from beyond the three-point line, and now almost no one else in the Cavaliers can hold the ball to launch an offense. But it doesn't matter, LeBron will handle everything!" Kenny Smith stared at the court seriously, afraid of missing anything a detail.

Facing Iguodala with his arms outstretched, James knew that the most direct hard punching style of play was useless. Iguodala is not afraid of physical confrontation. If he restrains him, the chances of Anjie being able to make up the defense will be greater.

Thinking of this, James, who was holding the ball tightly with both hands, began to dribble with one hand. He patted the basketball with one hand, and gestured with the other hand to direct his teammates to move.

The players of the Cavaliers immediately ran according to the route arranged by the tactics as if they had heard the commander's order.

James nodded in satisfaction, and then suddenly made a pass! The basketball flew past Iguodala's shoulder and headed straight for Shumpert, who was ambushing in the corner.

Tristan Thompson has already set up an off-ball pick-and-roll on Matthews' return route, and Matthews has no choice but to bypass this "wall". However, the time Matthews used to bypass the pick-and-roll was enough time for Shumpert to make a calm shot.

Shumpert's shooting has never been considered stable, but this kind of wide open opportunity is still no problem for Shumpert.

The basketball fell straight into the net, and Shumpert happily jumped up and waved his fist. What about LeBron James? He just smiled slightly. This guy knows that this battle is still long.

"Another assist, LeBron today can be said to have arranged all the affairs of the Cavaliers. Anything, LeBron will do it himself. No wonder, if he doesn't stand up now, who else can the Cavaliers rely on? 53 to 50 , the Trail Blazers only led by three points, and the Cavaliers are still clinging to the score!"

After Shumpert scored, Anjie immediately ran to the frontcourt. Maybe others will think that the Trail Blazers played with ease, but in reality, with Anjie taking the lead, the entire Trail Blazers played very aggressively and cautiously.

If it wasn't because An Jie got angry in the training ground yesterday and reminded his teammates, the Trail Blazers might be behind.

As soon as An Jie stepped into the three-point line, Russian center Mozgov immediately posted it. Don't let Anjie catch the ball comfortably, don't let Anjie turn around comfortably, don't let Anjie shoot comfortably... In short, let Anjie feel uncomfortable all the time, this is what David Blatt gave Mozgov's mission.

But whenever Mozgov clings to An Jie, the uncomfortable person will often become himself.

Anjie's space-grabbing skill is unmatched by Mozgov. No matter who started a hand-to-hand fight with An Jie, they would be exhausted. What's more, this person is still Mozgov with a soft style of play.

Anjie was not disturbed by Mozgov's pressing at all. He pushed twice with his buttocks and back, and he was about to get a position near the three-second zone.

Anjie began to raise his hand to ask for the ball, Lillard did not hesitate, flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew straight to the penalty area.

James quickened his pace, intending to intercept the pass midway. But the speed of Lillard's pass was not too slow. In the end, the orange-red sphere escaped James' outstretched palm and came into Anjie's hands.

Like James, Anjie also played an all-around performance today. So when Anjie holds the ball, the entire Cavaliers are nervous. This tall guy's passing is as deadly as his scoring!

Just as everyone was nervously following their matchup, for fear that they would receive a pass from An Jie. Even James rushed to Iguodala immediately, just in case.

Just at this time. An Jie sat back hard. Mozgov, who was not ready for the impact, fell to the ground in embarrassment!

Suddenly, Anjie was facing an empty basket. He didn't care about Mozgov who was still on the ground. This guy jumped up on the spot, put the ball behind his head with both hands, and then slammed into the basket!

Mozgov was so frightened that he suddenly got up, for fear that Anjie who had landed would step on him. Anjie is actually not that wicked, he has been hanging on the basket, and he didn't let go until Mozgov left.

"Who can tell me how to defend against this!?" Cavaliers coach David Blatt angrily put his hands on his hips and tugged at his bow tie. He has used the strictest method to let Mozgov execute it, but Anjie is still unstoppable.

Perhaps, this is why Anjie was able to defeat LeBron James in the first two years.

"I won't give in, LeBron, never!" Anjie quickly said this to James when he retreated past James.

James didn't respond, but ran to the baseline, ready to catch the baseline ball.

"I never thought you would give in, I just hope to beat you who is the strongest!" James said to himself in his heart, he caught the basketball and pushed towards the thorny place again.

No one expected that James would play so hard without Irving. No one thought that Anjie would play so seriously without Irving.

The halftime game is coming to an end, and it is still unclear which one is better between James and Anjie. Both played a versatile performance, and both led the team along the way.

The battle between An Jie and James will never be so simple. This wonderful round is just the epitome of the entire series.

There must be someone who will fall, and Anjie and James don't want this person to be themselves.
