Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth: The first person in the alliance dismounts
Before entering the stadium, Catherine was once again surrounded by fans. Now she is a hot new model in the fashion circle. With Anger's girlfriend, Catherine's popularity in Portland is even more high.
But Katherine was not tired of it. She happily accepted the fans' photo and autograph requests. And every time she met the fans' requirements, Katherine did not forget to add a sentence: "Remember to cheer for the Trail Blazers."
I don’t know if it was because of Catherine’s words, when Anjie came on the court to warm up, he could clearly feel that the enthusiasm of the fans is getting higher and the cheers are getting stronger today.
You know, this is just a warm-up before the game. The game will officially start later, and this group of fans may be able to perform better.
With the fans shouting loudly, Anjie felt full of energy. Seeing this, Lillard blinked at Anjie. Anjie understood it, moved his muscles and bones, and began to run towards the basket.
At the same time, Lillard randomly threw the ball to the rebound. The basketball rebounded, Anjie rushed to the horse, jumped and grabbed the basketball, and dunked the ball with one hand.
The pre-match performance of Lillard and Angel pushed the atmosphere of the Rose Garden scene to the first ***. The Heat Big Three? The people of Portland are not afraid. Because they have the big guy from the East!
"Hahaha, it's so full of energy." James stood between Wade and Bosh, looking at Angel who had just finished dunking.
"You can still laugh, they are demonstrating to us." Seeing Anjie so active, Bosh couldn't help swallowing. Since there was no one inside the Heat, Philippine coach Spoelstra could only use Bosh to play the No. 5 position.
When Bosh thought that he was about to fight with Anjie, the monster, for 48 minutes, he felt that his head was about to explode.
"Don't be nervous Chris, we are the champion. No matter how powerful Ann is, he is also a human being!" James said, stretching out his palm. Wade and Bosh slapped James with high fives respectively. The Heat's Big Three are not vegetarians!
Although Aldridge is still absent due to heart problems, the Heat are actually full of wounded soldiers. Chris Anderson, Rashad Lewis, Sean Bathir... After a lot of calculations, Spoelstra was able to send only 9 people. Others were either injured or had no ability to play.
There are only 9 players who rotate, which means that the Heat must have a player who will play very long. There is no doubt that this person will definitely be LeBron James!
"Few him from the first quarter! Andre, give me the rhythm of LeBron's offensive all the time. An, if LeBron breaks through, I want you to block it without leaving any effort! In short, we cannot leave LeBron with a comfortable opportunity to play!" Before the game, Ricard once again emphasized his strategy today.
"No matter how powerful LeBron is, he can't keep it efficient for 48 minutes! Consume him and bite the score. At the last moment, we will fight back again!" Ricard said, raising his fist. The next second, the tall and strong men around him also waved their fists excitedly.
Afterwards, under the urging of the referee, the players on both sides finally stepped onto the stadium.
Like Angel's habit, James always greets the opponent's players one by one before the game begins to show respect and politeness.
Angel was left to the last one by James because he had a few words to say to Angel.
"You are in a very strong momentum recently." James patted Anjie on the shoulder friendly, and had to admit that the Heat's No. 6 is indeed a very friendly person. This guy is different from Jordan and Kobe. This quasi-league number one person does not give people a feeling of being cold.
"It's not bad, just a small four-game winning streak." Angel was also kind to James.
"Hahahaha, you know, I like your temper. Come on, we will definitely play a classic duel." James said, retreating back to the Heat's half. When passing by Bosh, James hammered Bosh's chest to show encouragement.
Angel would not relax his vigilance just because of James's kind words. He knew that this strong No. 6 was much more dangerous in the game than now!
The referee whistle sounded, and the game that the whole world paid attention to finally kicked off. Countless commentators used different languages to spread the news of the game's beginning to all parts of the world. Basketball is not a big deal.
Damien Lillard undoubtedly received the ball from Angel. When the Heat decided to use Bosh to play center, they never thought they could get the ball to start the game.
Mario Chalmos put on his stance. This NCAA finals mop, which was the same as Angel, has completely gotten rid of her immaturity and became extremely sophisticated.
Back then, it was the University of Kansas led by Chalmos that ended the Crazy March Road of the Tornado. But today, it was not that easy for Chalmos and the Heat to stop Angel and the Trail Blazers.
Chalmos' serious attitude towards any game may be one of the keys to his success. Facing Lillard's stroll, Chalmos did not relax at all.
He has been observing Lillard's ball control movements and is ready to seize the opportunity to take the ball away! After all, Chalmos' average of 1.5 steals per game is not a small number.
But Lillard did not give Chalmos a chance. Just after halfway through the ball, Lillard handed the ball to Iguodala. James was stunned at first, but he still defended seriously.
Normally, the Trail Blazers rarely attack through Iguodala. What's more, today's matchup between Iguodala is still James.
James thought Iguodala was just a transition and he would definitely pass the ball to Angel immediately. It was precisely for this reason that James let Iguodala take a few steps and guarded against his pass.
However, what James did not expect was that Iguodala actually took action outside the three-point line.
"What!?" James immediately changed his center of gravity and rushed forward. He is worthy of being the number one player in the league, and his defense is very fast. However, no matter how fast James takes, he is not as fast as Iguodala's attack.
With almost no interference, Iguodala's three-pointer shot was hollowed into the net. Indeed, after Iguodala came to the Trail Blazers, his attacks were greatly reduced due to the existence of Angel, Lillard and Aldridge. But this does not mean that Iguodala lost his singles ability.
James didn't have the heart to consider why the Trail Blazers played like this first goal. He only knew that Iguodala was very hot today and he had to stick it even harder next time.
After the Heat's offense, Spoelstra naturally focused on the outside. Wade's emergency stop jump shot after breaking through Matthews, which made Angel far beyond his reach. In the end, Wade took the knife and made a good start for the Heat.
After returning, James was indeed unfamiliar with Iguodala! Seeing that one of his attack points was completely strangled to death by James, Ricard laughed instead. With Iguodala's strong restraint, the plan to consume James was successfully implemented.
Iguodala's running without leaving any effort made James tense. Such an active running forced James to take care of Iguodala more.
However, Iguodala did all this just to drag down James. This round, the true ending point of the Trail Blazers is Anjie!
Lillard easily broke through Chalmos through Hickson's pick-and-roll. Although Chalmos is very experienced, he has no extraordinary physical and physical condition, so he suffered a great loss when defending Lillard's point guard with full impact.
Seeing Lillard attacking the penalty area, the elderly Heat captain in Haslem would definitely not be able to count on. That guy can't take any steps at all, let alone compete with guys like Lillard.
Wade? If Wade abandons Wesley Matthews, then the guy with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the Trail Blazers will definitely cost the Heat. What about James? This guy is worried about Iguodala now, so he has no time to defend Lillard.
Look, Bosh now has no one but himself to put pressure on Lillard. In desperation, Bosh decided to block Lillard at the basket!
Seeing Bosh move his steps, Lillard didn't think about it and immediately passed the ball with a hit to help Anjie complete the dunk.
Bosh's position is now in place. As long as Anjie receives the ball, he can easily dunk. Even if Bosh can make up for it, he can't stop Anjie who is in a very good position!
"Easy." Lillard smiled slightly, as the basketball was about to penetrate Anjie's arms. However, in an instant, a large black palm intercepted the ball in the middle.
"LeBron James! A sensitive sense of smell! If it were a different team, Lillard and Ann would definitely succeed, but today, their opponent is the omnipotent LeBron!" Mike Brin shouted excitedly. Today, there was finally someone who could stand up and break the script written by Ricard and Anger!
After James intercepted the ball, he advanced by himself. His progress was not as fast as Vestabrook and others. But this guy's strong body made it impossible for everyone in the Trail Blazers to get close to him.
All the way, "tank-like" breakthrough and crushed into the penalty area. James jumped high, glided for a while, and then smashed his right hand into the basket, completing a domineering one-handed buckle!
After landing, James showed off his muscles to the reporters before turning around and retreating.
"My fault, my fault." Lillard raised his hand at Angel and admitted that he was too careless. In fact, Lillard passed an aerial relay just now, so there was not so many things happening.
"It's okay Damien, I didn't expect that guy LeBron is really different from others." Angel did not blame Lillard because James did something that others could not do.
"Stop passing this ball to test me. If you want to defeat me, you have to show your true skills." Afterwards, James smiled and said this to Angel. Angel did not respond because James was different from others. He was not talking wildly, but he did have this ability.
In this case, that wonderful goal was Angel's best response to James.
Chapter completed!
