The Way of the Center

George, who watched the game live on TV at home in Portland, jumped up excitedly. Although the guy's ankle was still inconvenient, George was still very excited because of what Anjie did.

Lillard yelled in the living room, as if he was on the scene and Angie could hear himself cheering.

These two guys must really want to fight side by side with Anjie now. Even some Cleveland fans were shocked by the scene of Anjie's hero's return, let alone the two teammates who fought side by side with him.

"We don't know the exact condition of Ann's injury, but it is obvious that this guy still has a limp when he walks. But once he runs, Ann will fight back the pain. If Ann can't win today The O'Brien Cup, the next game will be very unfavorable to him and the entire Trail Blazers." Van Gundy is famous for caring about the health of his players, even though he hasn't coached Angie for many years. Van Gundy still regards Anjie as his own family.

If Van Gundy is coaching now, he might not even agree to Anjie playing with an injury. But who knows? This situation has never been encountered in Van Gundy's coaching career.

"It's okay, buddy." After An Jie came on stage, Morris stepped forward to ask with concern.

"Don't worry about me, watch the basket! It's the last moment buddy, we have no reason to lose the game!" An Jie patted Morris on the shoulder hard, letting his good brother focus on the game.

Although Anjie played with an injury, the Cavaliers will never be soft because of this. On the contrary, they will use Anjie as a breakthrough point on the offensive end!

Seeing that An Jie was still a little uncomfortable walking, James picked up the basketball and rushed to the inside.

"LeBron is merciless, he wants to use that point of Angie to make a breakthrough!" Mike Breen pointed at the court and yelled loudly. If it was normal, people would definitely think that James was crazy. On the offensive end, no one wants to take the initiative to face An Jie.

But now, the situation is special, and James' approach is indeed the best choice for the Cavaliers at present. An Jie's momentum and perseverance are indeed worthy of respect, but in a game, there are only winners and losers!

James used the pick-and-roll to break through Iguodala, who was also exhausted. As soon as he stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, he hugged the basketball with both hands, ready to make a three-step layup!

The posture of James holding the ball makes people think that they are watching the Super Bowl instead of the NBA Finals. This guy tucks the basketball under his arm so no one can touch it.

"Huh... come on, An Jie, hold on!" An Jie silently encouraged himself in his heart,

Seeing that James was getting closer and closer to him, An Jie resisted the pain from his knee and quickly moved sideways!

"Ann's lateral speed is very fast, almost unaffected by the injury! God, how is this possible? He sticks to LeBron, but LeBron doesn't seem to want to give up!"

James marveled at the speed of Anjie's defense, but being able to move suddenly does not mean that Anjie can also take off quickly.

James held Anjie on his shoulders and went straight to the basket for a layup! This time, James deliberately jumped very high in order to take advantage of Anjie's knee inconvenience.

An Jie's judgment on the timing of the block is as accurate as ever, and the most surprising thing is that this guy's jumping height is the same as before!

Under James' astonished eyes, An Jie gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and waved his arm vigorously.

The basketball in James' hand was slapped by An Jie vigorously. Even if James put more force on his fingers, he couldn't control the basketball with such a huge force.

After Anjie landed, his legs could not support such a large inertia. I saw this tall No. 00 rushing to the bench, and then sat down on the ground.

Immediately, the entire bench of the Trail Blazers rushed over and helped An Jie up. They can't lose An Jie, they must not! Every move this guy makes, every fall, tugs at the nerves of the rest of the Blazers.

"Look at the huge reaction from the Trail Blazers' bench! Now every Trail Blazers player's heart is tied to An Jie!" Yu Jia was already very moved. This scene is really similar to Yao Ming ten years ago . The difference is that if An Jie wins the game, he will win the O'Brien Cup for the fourth time!

"This guy is a monster!" James is well aware of how uncomfortable his body will be after being injured. He can cleanly block himself with an injury in such an important position as his knee. On the whole earth, there may be only Anjie. can do it.

"Seek opportunities patiently, be patient!" Tyronn Lue started yelling from the sidelines. The current Cavaliers can no longer afford to waste opportunities.

Because the ball was fanned out of bounds by An Jie just now, the Cavaliers got a second chance to attack. This time, James was obviously more patient on the perimeter. He passed the ball a few times and finally earned himself a chance.

Through a series of pick-and-rolls and a subtle counter-run, James completely got rid of Iguodala who was defending him. Iguodala averaged 36 minutes per game in this series, but the last time he averaged that much was with the 76ers.

This playing time is beyond Iguodala's tolerance, so naturally this guy will be a little weak in the end. Therefore, James was able to break through easily.

Another chance to break through, James looked at his outside teammates. Thomas Jr. is still being entangled by Napier. Although Rose has a little space, James really dare not let Rose shoot a three-pointer at this moment when everyone is almost exhausted. Love? It was Morris standing in front of Love, and it was not safe for him to fire from beyond the three-point line.

After looking around, James gave up the idea of ​​​​pointing the ball. This time, I have to do it myself!

Anjie still got rid of the entanglement with Tristan Thompson and stuck to the basket. James is not stupid, this time, he will not choose to collide head-on with An Jie.

He seems to be advancing at high speed, but he has actually figured out a plan to deal with it.

Just when people thought that James and An Jie were about to stage another collision like sparks hitting the earth, James suddenly picked up the basketball and jumped to the side, breaking through An Jie's defense with a jump!

"Boom!" The entire Quicken Loans Arena erupted, and the fans cheered deafeningly when they saw James pass by Anjie.

"This is a chance to overtake! If LeBron hits the ball, it will change the situation on the court!" Even Barkley, who seems to never be serious, is rarely serious today. This kind of battle has to make everyone stand in awe, even a treasure like Barkley is no exception.

"I have to win once!" James roared in his heart, throwing the ball to the basket.

At this moment, time seemed to be slowed down. The basketball in James' eyes is slowly rising. This kind of ball that can be scored in a blink of an eye on weekdays flies very long today.

The basketball has risen to the highest point and is about to touch the backboard. James' heart was beating so fast that he couldn't hear anything but the beating of his own heart.

Just when the ball was about to be completed, the Chinese with his long arms appeared again. Before the basketball fell, he firmly pressed the orange ball on the backboard with his palm.

James' eyes glazed over, praying to God was useless. Because tonight, God wore the No. 00 jersey!

"Boom! Big cap on nails! Ann's reaction is really quick! His keen sense of protecting the rim makes a top star like LeBron only suffer! He blocked James twice in a row, and An Jie died. The guards guarded the penalty area! Anjie made a long pass from the backcourt, and Napier caught the ball and planned to counterattack! Foul! Derek Rose knocked Napier to the ground! The Cavaliers are in a hurry, they are starting to panic! Portland Trail Blazers , completely controlled the situation!" Van Gundy used a series of passionate commentary to make the already exciting game even more impressive.

After Napier was violated, he didn't wait for his teammates to pull him, but got up by himself, ran to Anjie, and hugged this tall guy suddenly. If it weren't for him, Napier might not be able to play such an epic game in his life!

"Don't lose the penalty, just do it like you usually do!" An Jie stroked Napier's head like a child, and then pushed him forward to the free throw line.

Napier took a deep breath, and with Anjie's encouragement, he became more confident!

Under the boos of the Cavaliers fans, Napier took the pressure and made both free throws. With 50 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers fell behind by three points.

Tyronn Lue used up the last timeout in his hands. After the timeout, the outcome of the game can only be handed over to the players on the field.

When play resumed, it was Thomas Jr. who received the ball from the baseline. This guy still scored 20 points today with a limited number of shots, which can be said to be quite efficient. But if you lose the game in the end, no matter how good your performance is, it's meaningless.

Thomas Jr. didn't mean to pass the ball, but beckoned to call for a pick-and-roll. Immediately, Thompson and Love set up a cover for Thomas Jr., one on the left and one on the right.

Little Thomas quickly broke through in the direction of Anjie, and Anjie immediately switched defenses, and followed behind the lightning-fast Thomas.

But there is no doubt that An Jie, who has a leg injury, cannot keep up with Thomas Jr. anyway. This guy who is only 1.75 meters tall easily scored a key goal before Anjie blocked the shot. The Cavaliers narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

An Jie looked at the timer on the backboard, and there were 38 seconds left. If this offense is successful, the Blazers will almost firmly hold the victory in their hands.

He began to limp forward, and this scene made everyone feel distressed.

Napier held the ball outside the three-point line, but Thomas Jr. defended very tightly, not giving Napier any room to make moves.

Seeing that he couldn't catch the ball for a long time, An Jie ran outside the three-point line and took the initiative to attack. Napier hurries to pass the ball to save himself from making a mistake.

After An Jie received the ball from outside the three-point line, Love immediately pressed himself to defend. Anjie turned his back to the basket and held the basketball with one hand. At the same time, Iguodala was running towards Anjie. The two seemed to want to cooperate hand in hand.

Iguodala still ran to his position under the pull of James. He ran past Anjie, but Love couldn't see if he got the ball or not.

Just when Le Fu was hesitating, An Jie, who was originally a thug, suddenly put away the basketball and turned around, completely overtaking the unresponsive Le Fu!

"Damn it!" James roared, leaving Iguodala behind and chased after Anjie. An Jie did not show any weakness, dragging his injured leg and rushing to attack the frame.

In the three-second zone, Anjie and James took off almost at the same time. The result of this game seems to be produced in this duel between the two.

James raised his arms high and collided with Anjie in the air. And his palm has already touched the basketball. Just now Anjie blocked himself twice in a row, of course James wanted to pay back.

Anjie held the ball tightly to prevent it from being slapped by James. He continued to press down, exerting great force.

In an instant, James was defeated by this huge force. His whole body suddenly loosened, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment. And An Jie, under the illumination of the stadium lights, successfully dunked with both hands!

"Dunk James! Ann succeeded. He not only blocked LeBron twice, but also broke through LeBron's defense on the offensive end! Great leader, Ann's performance after returning from injury is incredible ! There are 22 seconds left in the game, but the Cavaliers are 3 points behind! This confrontation between the two sides almost brought the end to the surface! Look at the expressions of the Cleveland fans, today is definitely not a good day for them! Great Ann! He is only 28 seconds away from his fourth O'Brien Cup!" Van Gundy directly picked up the microphone and climbed up to the commentary stand.

An Jie glared at James who fell to the ground. At this moment, the former "little emperor" fell from the throne under the oppression of another guy. At this moment, he, who has always looked down on others, was looked down upon by others.

James slapped the floor hard, and the Cavaliers had no timeout. The most terrifying result, maybe... maybe, is going to come true...
