The Way of the Center

James took the hands of Love and Kristan Thompson, and stood up in embarrassment. Now, let alone An Jie who is injured, even James, who is completely healthy, feels that he can't bear it.

After getting up, James only felt extremely tired. Physically, as one of the protagonists of this high-intensity game, James is the Cavaliers player who has received the most physical contact and violations, and the entire Cavaliers are also operating under his offense with the ball. It is no exaggeration to say that James is the hardest person on the Cavaliers.

Psychologically, this is a game the Cavaliers must not lose. Behind An Jie, there is still a home court waiting for him. But behind James, there is only a cliff! On the court, James must be tense all the time. Even if he relaxes a little bit, James may fall to pieces.

But now, when he was blocked by Anjie twice in a row and was dunked miserably, when the Cavaliers were still behind by three points in the last 22 seconds of the game and there was no timeout. James felt that he really couldn't hold on any longer.

Every time An Jie played in the finals, he played against himself. But I have never won even once, not even once.

During the Trail Blazers dynasty, James was the biggest background. Now that the Trail Blazers are rising again, James will become the first guy to be used for surgery.

"LeBron? LeBron!" Love yelled, pulling James back to the cruel reality.

"Get ready to serve the bottom line, the referee is already urging. Should we continue to play according to the coach's arrangement, or..." Love was a little unsure whether to fight for a three-pointer or to stabilize Two points and then use foul tactics to get the maximum number of rounds.

"We..." James didn't know what to do with himself and the Cavaliers for a moment, and this was the first time in his life that he felt confused on the basketball court.

"What's the problem, LeBron? We can't let the game wait like this." The referee on duty has already walked in front of James, and there are only 22 seconds left in the game. We can't turn this mere 22 seconds into 22 minutes.

"Let's grab a three-pointer! If it doesn't work, foul it!" James shook his head. If it was An Jie, he would definitely not give up at this time. Then, you can't give up!

At the urging of the referee, Love gave the ball to Thomas Jr. James ran to the other side alone.

An Jie still sticks to the penalty area. Even if the Cavaliers plan to shoot three-pointers, he must ensure that the rebounds belong to the Blazers.

Anjie's return of the king and the dunk just now not only gave the Trail Blazers a key lead,

It also caused the morale of the Cavaliers to plummet.

Let alone Rose and Love, even Thomas Jr., who is the most efficient today, is not very sure about the last ball.

This is a ball that determines whether the finals can continue. Not everyone has the guts to be that finisher.

James was only tens of centimeters away from Iguodala, and he could even feel Iguodala's violent breathing. If you can't do it yourself, the other party will definitely not do it either!

But Iguodala's willpower far exceeded James' imagination. No matter how he gets rid of it, how he passes the pick-and-roll. Iguodala, the veteran who has been working hard in the league for the 14th season, has never left him!

Originally, the Cavaliers wanted to make a quick three-pointer, but they never got the chance. Love is also actively moving outside, but Morris, who is eyeing the tiger, has no room for Love to connect the ball. Morris' defensive ability has been recognized by the world after joining the Trail Blazers. A slow-moving Love cannot pull a gap in front of Morris.

10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds, ... until the time on the rebound timer increased by 3.2 seconds, the Cavaliers' quick three-point tactics have not yet had a chance to play. It seems that James and the Cavaliers have to put all their eggs in one basket!

Thomas Jr. barely passed the ball under Napier's strict defense. The playoffs are a stage for creating stars and honing players. There is no doubt that Napier's time as a starter in the playoffs has allowed him to Great progress has been made.

In the past, he would only be played and applauded by the opponent's main point guard, but now, Napier has the ability to make a star point guard like Thomas Jr. a headache.

Thomas Jr. didn't pass the ball well, and it was even more impossible for James to catch the ball comfortably. The moment his hand touched the basketball, James glanced at the timer on the backboard. 2.8 seconds, this is his last chance!

Without hesitation, James drifted and shot directly outside the three-point line because he didn't even have time to brake.

Kobe stood up abruptly. This action was really similar to the classic goal he scored against the Heat back then!

"Will a championship be born after this ball!?" Van Gundy, whose suit and tie were already messy, stared straight at the basketball.

Countless fans covered their eyes at this moment, whether they were Trail Blazers fans or Cavaliers fans, many of them were not ready to accept the final result.

Catherine put her hands on her chest, and he believed that An Jie could become the final winner.

George, who was resting at home, suddenly became silent, and Lillard, who was also in Portland, was about to open the champagne.

This basketball has attracted the eyes of countless people on this earth. This little basketball affects the hearts of basketball fans all over the world.

"Beep~~~" The beep sounded first to represent the end of the game.

"Boom!" Then came the sound of metal colliding. James missed a shot from beyond the three-point line!

"God!" James yelled, kneeling on the hardwood floor of the Quicken Loans Center arena.

"Fuck!" An Jie also yelled, kneeling under the basket.

These two men who dedicated a wonderful battle to the fans shed tears at the same time. It's just that James is because he is sad, while An Jie is because he is too happy!

"It has appeared! It has appeared! The 2017-2018 season nba championship is officially born! The Portland Trail Blazers, after two years of immersion, they have returned to the throne!" Van Gundy tore off his Headphones, yelling wildly into the microphone. After that, the guy raised his arms high, and behind him was a group of crazy fans.

"Champions! We are champions! God, we are champions!" Morris, who won the finals for the first time, also knelt down, grabbed Anjie's shoulders and shook. This sentence has been held back in Morris' mind for ten years. From college to nba, at this moment, he finally realized his dream of being a champion. At this moment, he could finally yell these words out of his own mouth. At this moment, he finally teamed up with An Jie to create a miracle.

After that, more and more players knelt beside An Jie, tightly surrounding An Jie. The exhausted An Jie leaned limply on his teammates. He knew that he would always have these guys to rely on on the basketball court.

An Jie cried in the middle of the crowd. Although this was his fourth championship, his tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

Golden O'Brien Cup, I can finally hold you in my arms again. Catherine and An Xiang, I can finally be with you with peace of mind......

Ricard sat on the bench the moment the game ended. He leaned on the chair and looked at everything in front of him with a smile.

Golden confetti fell from the sky, cheers and boos coexisted in the stands. On the court, players from both sides formed a group, but the players under him were celebrating the victory.

Ricard just sat on the chair, watching all this with a smile. The $500,000 fine, the curses from the media, and Paul Allen's unconditional trust in him... At that moment, the burden on Ricard disappeared instantly. He just sat on the bench watching it all, looking... so peaceful.

"It's over, buddy." Divac held out his hand to Ricard as usual.

"It's over!" Rickard and his tactical advisor held each other tightly. Maybe the old guys would be calmer when facing this kind of situation.

Everyone in Cleveland shed tears of pain as Wade rushed onto the court, trying to lift his brother up.

After the exhausted James stood up, he leaned directly on Wade. James was tear-stained, and Wade hugged James, stroking the guy's head.

"I lost...we lost the championship..." James choked up.

"We didn't lose anything to LeBron, we did our best, you, did your best..." Wade whispered in this man's ear. Even the proud son of heaven, there are times when he needs to rely on...

The atmosphere at Quicken Loans Center may not be cheerful, but for the Trail Blazers, this is definitely a fun night for them.

After a long time, Anjie and his teammates stood up from the ground again.

The limping No. 00 giant waved to the fans wearing his own jersey in the stands.

It's over, everything, it's over...
