The Way of the Center
Chapter 580: For the championship
When people discovered that the nba legend Kobe Bryant, who had just retired, was in the stands at this moment, the editors of countless newspapers and magazines called and reprimanded their reporters.
Such a big man was on the scene, and no one noticed it, let alone got any exclusive news. If Kobe's picture hadn't been flashed by accident on the big screen at the scene, perhaps this group of reporters would not have known about it.
Suddenly, Kobe, who was sitting three rows behind the Trail Blazers bench, became the focus of the camera. People are speculating that Kobe is sitting behind the Trail Blazers bench, does it mean that the person he supports is Anjie?
Countless TV commentators and reporters are over-interpreting the fact that Kobe was sitting there purely by coincidence. Before the game started, Kobe didn't know which side's bench would be here.
Kobe's appearance temporarily took the fans' attention away from the basketball court, and also slightly eased the suffocating atmosphere on the scene.
An Jie followed the eyes of the crowd, but found Kobe smiling at himself in the stands. Even this guy is here, it seems that today's game is really attracting attention.
An Jie nodded at Kobe, then withdrew his gaze and refocused on the game.
The Trail Blazers played a 6-0 offensive mini-** at the beginning of the game, and there is no doubt that they have a certain advantage. But An Jie also knew that James was not the kind of "soft guy" who would give up when he encountered some setbacks. In the next game, James may really fight himself to death.
The timeout ends and the game restarts. Now even Kobe can only be reduced to a supporting role in the Quicken Loans Center arena.
Tyronn Lue made adjustments in the lineup. He replaced Wade and brought Tristan Thompson up again. James returned to the third position, and the Cavaliers sent two insiders. It seems that Tyronn Lue now knows that inside defense still cannot be discarded at will. If the Cavaliers can't score and the defense doesn't work, the Blazers will quickly open the score.
As always, after James took Love's baseline ball, he moved forward slowly.
The guy was just past halftime when he put his arm up and asked Love for a pick-and-roll.
Why use Lefu? It's simple, because Love can also pull Anjie out while picking and rolling outside. Pulling Angel out, it is not difficult for James to break through.
Without hesitation, Love stood directly on James' right hand, and a cover was formed in an instant.
James hits the ball,
Iguodala, who is in charge of defending James, decided to block it by bypassing the pick-and-roll. Because for James, it is feasible to give him a little shooting space. But if he breaks through, the trouble will be big.
Thinking of this, Iguodala quickly moved sideways and went around behind Love. At this time, James, who was one step inside the three-point line, got a little space for shooting. If you don't hurry up, it will be too late when Iguodala comes around from behind the pick-and-roll.
Although long-distance two-pointers are one of the least cost-effective ways to score, the Cavaliers, who are in desperate need of scoring at this moment, have no choice.
Seeing that Iguodala chose to bypass the pick-and-roll defense, James jumped up directly after the breakthrough, intending to shoot!
An Jie immediately went up to interfere, but he knew that it would not have any substantial impact on James. Now I can only pray, pray that James' shot will not hit.
However, things backfired. James' extremely low-cost shot made the Cavaliers break the scoring drought and scored the first two points of the day. After scoring the goal, James patted his chest domineeringly, and the whole of Cleveland was trembling at the moment.
"Pay attention to Andre, that guy is about to start!" Anjie couldn't help muttering to Iguodala. James didn't pass the ball this time, and he attacked directly, which already explained everything. "Little Emperor", ready to take back his ruling right!
On the next attack, Anjie sent a wonderful pass for Turner, and Turner cut inside, seemingly about to make an empty basket.
And just when Turner just passed the ball to the basket, a strong eagle flew high and nailed the orange basketball to the backboard.
Turner turned his head in surprise. This was the Blazers' offense, so it couldn't be Anjie who did this kind of thing. Even Turner has formed this inherent thinking. When it comes to chasing counterfeits, the first name that comes to mind is An Jie.
James landed with the basketball in one hand, and stretched out the other hand to Turner in front of him, shaking his fingers slightly at him. His actions seemed to be yelling loudly to the whole world: "The day of victory does not belong to Anjie yet!"
After the block was over, James dribbled the ball alone for a long distance. From the backcourt to the frontcourt, James never slowed down.
An Jie was also unequivocal. When James was demonstrating against Turner, he had already rushed to his own restricted area, ready to "receive" the Cavaliers' counterattack.
At the same time, James controlled the ball and broke through the siege, breaking through all obstacles. Finally, there is only Anjie between James and the basket. An Jie became the last hurdle that James needed to break through!
No slowdown! James, the guy who charged like an armored car, still didn't slow down. Anjie originally wanted to stand on both feet to make an offensive foul for James, but thinking that James was likely to throw a shot or layup with a European step, Anjie gave up the idea of standing on the defensive.
James was still one or two meters away from Anjie, and Anjie could already feel the powerful aura of No. 23. In the blink of an eye, James had already rushed in front of An Jie. Neither of them hesitated, they jumped almost at the same time!
In the air, the bodies of the two old enemies collided fiercely. Both James and Anjie had to grit their teeth, because the pressure on each other was too great.
Overwhelmed, James had to make a layup before his body completely lost his balance, and Anjie, who was hit violently, also began to fall.
In the end, James landed unsteadily and fell out of the bottom line in embarrassment. This small forward with perverted physical fitness was overthrown by An Jie again.
It was not easy for An Jie either. After landing, it was really difficult for him to use his strength to get in position. Because of the physical confrontation just now, almost all of An Jie's temporary physical energy was used up.
As for the basketball, the basketball rubbed against the backboard, refracting and bouncing back. Finally, fall into the net!
"Beautiful layup! James played really tenaciously! This series is definitely the most intense fight between Ann and James!"
Accompanied by the shouts of fans and commentators, James climbed up by himself without help, patted the dust on his jersey, and continued to retreat, as if the person who just fell was not himself of.
Seeing James' strong back, An Jie couldn't help smiling slightly while picking up the basketball.
This is the battle between men!
What James did did mobilize his teammates and allowed the Cavaliers to close the point difference. But he never expected that his worst enemy would also be inspired by that scene just now.
Afterwards, Anjie and James fought each other harder.
These two guys fell down again and again, and got up silently again and again. Every time these two guys are seriously violated, the fans will sweat.
Although Anjie has played full-time for several consecutive seasons, he has always suffered serious injuries. As for James... this guy is really old.
The fans are all afraid, afraid of what will happen to these two desperate guys. However, until these two people were both replaced, nothing happened.
"Quick! Gatorade!" James shouted from the bench with his arms covered in bruises.
"Give me some ice packs! I need ice packs on my knees!" An Jie was also not at ease. The hidden dangers left by the meniscus at the beginning are now slowly showing up.
Kobe looked at the two people who were busy on the bench. This kind of passionate time is really good...
When Anjie and James faced each other on the court, the scores of both sides were not opened. And when the Cavaliers' second team took over the game, the Trail Blazers gradually lost their advantage.
Although Wade still didn't find the feeling of scoring, his possession of the ball created many opportunities for J.R. Smith and Korver. The excellent performance of these two guys outside the three-point line also helped the Cavaliers come from behind, and at the end of the first quarter, they completed a lead.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Anjie and James entered the desperate mode again. The two guys fought hard, and all kinds of desperate breakthroughs and defenses frequently appeared on these two people.
What does it mean to work hard for the championship? Anjie and James undoubtedly gave a good answer.
"These two guys are simply desperadoes! Did you see that flying save from An just now? His head was almost put on the chair!"
"Crazy! Ann and LeBron are crazy! Another forced layup, James was knocked out of the baseline by "Big Bull". But... the ball went in, beautiful! LeBron. Doubt pierced the heart of the Trail Blazers again, and he got a chance to hit a three-pointer!" After Mike Brin finished speaking, James did not stand up again. The game has come to the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, and these two guys are almost at their limit.
At this time, Le Fu and Wade rushed up and stretched out their hands.
James grabbed the forearms of the two, exerted all his strength, and once again stood on the court.
The fans watched with enthusiasm, and the commentators were almost hoarse. The most worrying ones were Tyronn Lu and Ricard. These two people were afraid that Anjie and James would not be able to stand up after another fall.
James walked to the free-throw line, and the Quicken Loans Center werena rang out with deafening chants. They are all shouting three letters, mvp!
With the audience shouting for mvp, James made a steady free throw and successfully hit a three-pointer. At this moment, James is the God of Cleveland!
Ricard called a timeout and the Blazers trailed by three points in the final three minutes of the game. It's time, it's time for the final battle.
"How is it?" Ricard looked at An Jie whose sweat-absorbing headband was completely soaked, and asked with concern.
An Jie took off the headband and threw it hard on the ground! "no problem!"
The big yellow-skinned man number 00 answered firmly.
