The Way of the Center

A sweaty LeBron James looked up at the timer above the backboard. There were 17 seconds left. Now there are only 17 seconds left before the end of the second quarter.

17 seconds, ready to start preparing to attack. So James began to dribble alternately, looking for an opportunity to appear when he could take advantage of it.

When the number on the timer above the backboard became 10, James, who was dribbling in place, suddenly accelerated! He still intends to break through!

Iguodala did not expect James to make such a bold choice at the last moment. He immediately moved over to block, but was still a second late.

"LeBron James, this guy broke through Iguodala's defense!" Mike Breen exclaimed, James broke through Iguodala, which means that the two protagonists of the finals will have the possibility to meet !

An Jie didn't hesitate at all, he directly left Mozgov and headed towards James.

Seeing that Anjie came to make up the defense, James' pace still did not slow down. This guy who has become red-eyed is not afraid of anything now!

With sweat, James' calf exerted force suddenly, he jumped up high, and stretched his arms. It looks like this guy is going to dunk!

An Jie saw James' every move. After calculating the distance and timing, An Jie also jumped up. A huge net was formed in front of James in an instant.

James gritted his teeth. He didn't want to try the taste of Anjie's big hot pot. If he wants to eat, he can go to the steak house opened by An Jie.

So, James added a change of hands in the air. Angie, who originally thought that James was going to the left, had no time to adjust, so James avoided Angie's block.

With a light flick of his right hand, James' buzzer-beating layup set the entire Quicken Loans Center arena ablaze.

The moment James landed, the buzzer sounded at the end of the second half of the Finals. James slapped himself on the chest, and his celebration resonated with the fans in the audience.

LeBron James, who is almost 31 years old, stopped the Cavaliers on the edge of a cliff by himself.

48 to 55, James' buzzer-beating layup prevented the Cavaliers from widening the point difference to double digits.

In just half of the game, James scored 20 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds.

Although the Cavaliers are behind, LeBron James has undoubtedly become the hottest topic now.

An Jie couldn't help clenching his fists, he knew that without Irving and Love, James would definitely not make this game too easy.

It seems that I have to work harder. In the second half of the game, he must defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers who are alone!

When he was in the locker room at halftime, Ricard felt something was wrong. An Jie seems to be always fidgeting.

It stands to reason that now that the Trail Blazers are in the leading position, they should sit back and relax. An Jie's anxiety was totally unreasonable.

"What's wrong? Ann!" Ricard didn't try to guess An Jie's psychology, but asked directly.

"It's nothing, I just hope that the second half of the game will start soon." An Jie waved his hand, and started wading around the locker room again.

"You performed very well in the first half of the game." Ricard looked at Anjie's data again, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"No, no, there are still some missing. That guy LeBron has already scored 20 points. Among these 20 points, many of them were due to my defensive failure. In the second half of the game, I must ensure this situation Show up as little as possible!"

After listening to An Jie, Ricard nodded slightly. After everyone rested for a while, he began to arrange tactics leisurely.

The team is indeed in the lead, and there is indeed nothing wrong with Anjie's performance in the first half of the game. Ricard knew that this kid was just used to being the best one on the field. When someone's performance can surpass him, Anjie will not be reconciled no matter whether the team leads or not.

Brat, is simple victory no longer enough to satisfy you?

The second half of the game started quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again. LeBron James did not rest and continued to play.

Now that Ainger was able to average 42 minutes per game in the final two games of the Western Conference Finals, so can James.

"Little Emperor" is still frowning. Although he became the focus of the audience in the first half of the game, James is very clear that the situation of the Cavaliers is still very dangerous. Now is not the time to be happy.

James told Dellavedova to run forward again, and he stood in front of Mozgov who was about to serve the baseline.

Taking the basketball, James turned and advanced. Come on Anjie, let's fight to the death!

As soon as James pressed up, he handed over the ball. The sixth man of the Cavaliers, "Nerve Knife" J.R. Smith held the ball outside the three-point line. Matthews did not dare to slack off and immediately squeezed the space to a minimum.

Although j.r. Smith's performance is not stable enough, if he goes crazy, he is enough to change the situation of the entire game. In the first half of the game, j.r. performed very well. So now, when Smith holds the ball in place, he's effectively holding back a portion of the Blazers' defense.

Thanks to the threat of j.r. Smith, James got the opportunity to run easily. He immediately found a gap by sliding the bottom line, and the experienced J.R. Smith was also unambiguous. His timely pass allowed James to receive the pass at a zero-degree angle in the middle distance!

At this time, Iguodala was still entangled with Mozgov in the three-second zone. Except for Anjie, James had no Trail Blazers players at all. What's more, An Jie is still two steps away from him now!

So after receiving the basketball, James didn't hesitate, he must seize an open shot opportunity!

The moment James shot, Jeff Van Gundy suddenly stood up from his seat with his eyes wide open. Because of the speed at which An Jie strode forward, Jeff Van Gundy, the commentator, was taken aback!

"Ann, he stepped out of the three-second zone in almost one step! This step is really too big. It succeeded! An successfully blocked James' shot! The Cleveland Cavaliers' offense finally failed!"

"Sensitive reaction, good awareness, excellent take-off height, exaggerated long arms and long legs. If you want me to say, An is a perfect defensive machine made by God! Every part of his body can allow him to The defense is perfect!" O'Neal can only praise this kind of defense in this way when he jumped forward from the three-second zone and blocked a mid-range shot.

After the basketball was blocked, it flew out of the sideline. Although James missed the goal, the Cavaliers still kept the ball anyway.

Every time he faced Anjie, James would be so embarrassed. The only person in this league who can block James so many times is Anjie. Although he was afraid in his heart, James didn't waste time, but signaled Tristan Thompson to serve quickly.

Under James' urging, the sideline ball was sent out quickly, and the Cavaliers reorganized their offense. This time, Mozgov took the initiative to entangle An Jie, making it seem that An Jie is currently on the offensive end.

James looked at Anjie, then at Iguodala. Whether it is trying to break through or shoot, it is not easy for him. It would be great if Owen could share the pressure for himself at this time...

James shook his head, sweeping away those unrealistic fantasies. He reached out and called the pick-and-roll, anyway, the best way to find a way in the middle distance!

Tristan Thompson had just sent the sideline ball, and he ran to James non-stop to cover.

James saw the opportunity to start to the left, and Iguodala wanted to bypass the pick-and-roll from behind with rich experience, but James suddenly changed direction and rushed to the right before bypassing the pick-and-roll.

Such a sudden change of direction completely missed Iguodala, and James easily came to the mid-range position, and suddenly stopped suddenly, ready to shoot!

Damian Lillard has been observing James' movements. When Iguodala was passed, Lillard immediately dropped Dellavedova, who was not good at shooting, raised his arms, and rushed to James. .

James was not disturbed by Lillard's defense, he took off and shot on his own. An Jie pounced again, but with Lillard separated, James still didn't believe that An Jie could stop him!

The basketball is shot steadily, and James is bound to win this shot! An Jie had already jumped, and when he straightened his arms in the air, the height was really scary.

As far as the current situation is concerned, James can't judge whether Anjie's fingers can touch the basketball. He began to be grateful for Lillard's timely supplementary defense, because if there was no Lillard in the middle, Anjie would have completed the block directly!

The basketball flew up again. Surprisingly, An Jie's fingers also continued to rise. In the end, An Jie touched the basketball. Although he didn't blow it away, he still changed the trajectory of the basketball! For James' second consecutive block, Anjie did it!

"Ann blocked Damian again, oh my god, LeBron is completely blocked by Ann now!"

This time, Anjie did not give the Cavaliers a chance to get the ball again. Because An Jie rubbed against the basketball, the basketball is now flying straight up and down into the air. Immediately after landing, An Jie jumped up for the second time, and was the first to pick off the falling basketball before everyone else.

In order to fight for the ball, An Jie's side is now crowded with people. After An Jie landed, due to people's pushing and shoving, he failed to stand firm, but fell to the ground with the basketball in his arms!

The Cavaliers players wearing white home jerseys seemed to be hungry wolves who saw their prey, and they all rushed towards An Jie on the ground.

There were countless hands waving in front of An Jie's eyes, and some of them were even pressing on him.

But An Jie didn't panic, he wasn't the kind of kid who participated in the finals for the first time. This guy is someone who is eager to create a dynasty!

An Jie hugged the basketball tightly, no matter how the Cavaliers players pulled, no matter how many dark elbows they used on An Jie, An Jie would not let go.

Finally, the referee's whistle finally sounded. An Jie, who was wearing a mask, was pulled up by his teammates, and the referee called a scrimmage!

Fighting for the ball with Anjie was Cavaliers starting power forward Tristan Thompson. Although this guy is very athletic, An Jie is not afraid of him at all.

In the end, relying on his rich experience in jumping and his superior height, Anjie kept the ball for the Trail Blazers. James' two attacks were rejected by Anjie!

After the Blazers' offense passed, Anjie made a pick-and-roll for Iguodala. Iguodala broke through with the ball, but soon passed the ball back to Anjie.

Due to pick-and-roll switching, Thompson is now defending Iguodala. And the one in front of An Jie turned into LeBron James!

"Come on!" James patted the floor with both hands, then opened his arms.

An Jie didn't hesitate either. After taking a step forward, he immediately put his back on it.

Back-up, An Jie planned to use back-up to defeat James as soon as he came up!

Although James is very powerful, but when faced with An Jie's back attack, this guy still retreated steadily.

Finally, Anjie pushed into the three-second zone. James had no choice but to wrap his arms around the front, trying to reach the basketball.

"Leak!" An Jie, who sensed the change in James' center of gravity, immediately knew what No. 23 wanted to do. An Jie took advantage of the situation and turned around, passing James who was about to stab the basketball away.

His turning and footsteps are so exquisite that even some outside players may not be able to do it.

James had no choice but to grab Anjie's jersey, but Anjie still wanted to jump and dunk. Under the pull of two huge forces, the jersey was torn out a hole, and Anjie broke away from James' pull, completed a dunk, and gave the Cavaliers a hard blow!

Two consecutive blocked shots and a dunk. At the beginning of the second half, the countless people who couldn't dominate the game changed from James to Anjie in an instant!

"What!?" James' innocent expression still couldn't impress the referee. An Jie not only scored a goal, but also got a chance to add a penalty!

James, who had already seen the hope of victory, was thrown a basin of cold water in an instant.

He almost forgot that his opponent is the most dangerous guy in this league!

Want to create a miracle in front of the Trail Blazers? No, Anjie will never let this happen!

Anjie has already expressed his attitude, he will do his best to win, no matter whether James is fighting alone or not. James' dying struggle, how long can the Cavaliers last?

When Portland's Dark Knight gets serious, the city of Cleveland seems to have no hope at all.
