The Way of the Center

James held his head remorsefully. If he had known this would happen, he would not have stretched out his hand to pull it just now anyway. So far in the game, every point difference will make the game more difficult.

An Jie walked to the free throw line, but was pushed back by the referee on duty. "Change your clothes."

The referee pointed to An Jie's jersey, and An Jie remembered that his jersey, which had been torn out with a hole, was still hanging on his body.

"In an NBA game, it is very rare for a jersey to be torn. From this, one can also imagine how great the tension between Ann and LeBron was just now. Although the third quarter of the game has just started, But the confrontation has entered a white-hot stage!"

While Mike Breen was speaking, stadium staff came out with a brand new Trail Blazers No. 00 road jersey. An Jie took over the jersey on the bench and replaced the torn one.

When Angie's upper body exploded, all Cleveland fans were shocked by Angie's extremely strong muscles and distinct lines.

This Chinese, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, has now become one of the strongest guys in the league. It's no wonder that he can fight against LeBron without losing the wind. Although Anjie's body is not as abnormal as O'Neal's back then, it must be top-notch.

After an episode, Anjie stood on the free throw line again. James has been praying in his heart, praying that Anjie's penalty will not hit. It's just a pity that God didn't hear the voice from the city of Cleveland.

An Jie glanced at James when he retreated after scoring a goal, with a fierce expression in his eyes, as if to say, "Show all your abilities!"

It seems that in the second half of the game, Anjie and James will turn this stadium into ruins...

After being blocked by Anjie twice in a row and successfully hitting a three-pointer, the morale of the Cavaliers players has fallen into the ice valley. Some of them are already wondering whether James can lead the team to victory.

James also knows that at this critical moment, the Cavaliers, who lack stars, must rely on themselves to save them. At this moment, James felt as if he had returned to 2007.

That year, it was also the Finals, and he was also the only leader of the Cavaliers. And their opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, is as strong as the current Trail Blazers.

That was the first time James played in the Finals, and that was the first time James smelled the O'Brien Cup. It's just a pity that the single-handed Cavaliers were beaten 4-0 by the mature and stable Spurs, and James' championship dream was shattered.

Duncan, the old guy, said the classic words to James after the game: "The future is yours." If Duncan knew at that time that a guy named Angie was about to enter the league next season, maybe he would not be so right. James said it...

James shook his head. Duncan was old, and his enemy had completely changed. Maybe I would be swept 4-0 back then, but now, James will never allow such a thing to happen!

Just when Iguodala was about to step forward to take out the ball, James, who had been silent all the time, suddenly sped up!

The direction of the two forwards was completely opposite. James easily passed Iguodala and stepped into Anjie's territory again.

This time, James did not rush the jumper, nor did he continue to break through. Instead, he looked around and looked for the best opportunity.

Seeing that James stopped suddenly, An Jie didn't dare to continue to rush out. Although Russian center Mozgov has no sense of presence on the offensive end, Anjie can't just throw people under the basket.

While everyone was waiting for James to make a further reaction, LeBron James, who paused for a moment, shot instead.

Anjie didn't make up the defense, which is simply a rare opportunity for James! This time, James is full of confidence. He believes that this attack will definitely break the Cavaliers' scoring shortage in the second half!

James lifts the ball over his head, leaning back slightly in the air. Just when James had just vacated, he saw An Jie had withdrawn from the basket and was rushing to his shooting position.

"It's too late." James continued to make shots. From now on, he must ensure that every shot is made accurately, so that the Cavaliers can hope to overtake the score.

However, when James shot the basketball, the familiar voice sounded again. This sound made the already huge Quicken Loans Center arena instantly silent!

"Ann rushed out of the penalty area very quickly! My God! Everyone, including myself, thought this defense was irreparable! But Ann, his defensive sense is so sensitive! Blocked LeBron James three times in a row , An Jie, only An Jie in the entire league can do such a thing!" Jeff Van Gundy looked at the field with his mouth wide open, and An Jie's speed of replenishing the defense completely exceeded the upper limit of a big man's ability.

In fact, it was precisely because James wanted to win the game by himself that greatly stimulated Anjie's competitiveness.

A crippled Cleveland Cavaliers trying to cause trouble for us? What a joke!

After Anjie blocked the shot, James looked desperately at the frontcourt. Over there, Lillard didn't know when he was already running with the ball.

Facing the tough and fierce Australian defender Dellavedova, Lillard was not timid. He swayed the defense with a beautiful Eurostep and scored an easy layup.

Another goal was scored by the Trail Blazers, and the point difference had already become double digits. James looked over at the distraught Mozgov, the Russian center who was once again only able to pick up the basketball from the hardwood floor. Even James couldn't help shaking his head. This time, there was no flame in his eyes!

The "slaughter scene" created by Anjie a few minutes before the third quarter became the epitome of the second half of the game.

Cleveland fans have been looking forward to, looking forward to James can clear all kinds of obstacles, and finally bring the team out of the tight encirclement. But this expectation did not come until the last second of the fourth quarter.

When the tired James shot again under Batum's tight defense, the sweaty guy suddenly went limp.

James knelt on one knee. At this moment, it was very difficult for the tired James to stand up.

Robin Lopez grabs the rebound, but none of the Cavaliers come up to grab it. Some of them walked up to James and asked concerned, while others walked straight to the bench.

Robin, holding the basketball, looked at the timer on the backboard. There were still 10 seconds left before the game ended. But the Cleveland Cavaliers have given up the game!

"Beep~~~~~~"

The electronic buzzer sound that represented the end of the game seemed so harsh to James at the moment.

The game is over, this game that James must not lose, under An Jie's abnormal performance, he finally lost it.

106 to 95, Anjie not only won, but also won very thoroughly. The 11-point difference left James with no chance to turn the tide.

James covered his face, he didn't want people to see the tears rolling in his eyes.

Although the finals are not over yet, James knows that it will be very difficult for the Cavaliers to win in the next two games in Portland.

This is also the first time that James feels that his opponent in the finals is really too strong...

With 26 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocked shots, Anjie once again delivered an all-around stat. It is worth mentioning that 3 of Anjie's 5 blocks came from James' head. Blocking James 3 times in a game is not something everyone can do.

When the Cavaliers were still struggling in the East, people said that James' ability to dominate the game was too strong. But looking at it now, even James, who is said to be "too strong" by the fans, can only fall under An Jie's hands, and there is no way to fight back...

"Huh." James sighed, grabbed the hands of J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson and stood up again.

"Go back to the locker room and take a rest. Take a breath while you can. Going to Portland tomorrow will make us feel better." James patted Smith and Thompson on the back. I really don't want to talk to anyone. No. 23, who reigns supreme in Cleveland, walks alone toward the tunnel with his head down.

2 to 0, the powerful Anjie has pushed James and the Cavaliers to the edge of the cliff. Now just add that little force, and the entire Cavaliers will fall off the cliff.

The images of James being blocked by Anjie again and again still linger in his mind. Why is it so difficult to beat An Jie once after meeting in the finals for three consecutive years?

The powerful Anjie did not let James, who led the team with a single core, succeed. Sure enough, relying on oneself alone cannot defeat this terrifying guy.

Unlike James' disappointment, Anjie was extremely excited after the game.

This guy and his teammates hit chest hard and high five hard. People who don't know may think that the Trail Blazers have already won the championship?

There are still two games left, and Anjie is only two games away from creating a three-peat dynasty!

Looking at the huge spotlight above his head, An Jie seemed to see a bright future.

The trip to Cleveland has come to an end, and what Anjie wants to do next is to sweep the Cavaliers directly and win the O'Brien Cup at home.

Poor LeBron, this guy's nightmare will continue...
