Eight hundred and twentieth chapters: unbreakable competitive spirit

In the three years when Anjie first created the dynasty, the first two rounds of the playoffs were very relaxed for them.

Such a 4-o sweep often occurred during those three years. Usually only the Western Conference Finals and Finals will put some pressure on the Trail Blazers.

But this year, the situation is completely different. The Western Conference's strong players have risen one after another, and the strength gap between the teams that have entered the top eight in the West is very small. This has led to every round of games and every team that has to give their all to win the final victory. Such a situation is no exception to the Trail Blazers.

"Russell Westbrook deceived Ann! He broke through the Trail Blazers' strongest defensive gate. Now, in front of Westbrook, only his former teammate Andrew Morris!" Westbrook's wonderful breakthrough made Mike Bryn's voice full of passion. He originally thought that Westbrook would make a layup like usual. However, today, Westbrook, who had the opportunity to hit the basket, did not do so.

"Will he make a layup? No, it's a pass! Westbrook passed the ball to Anthony at the middle distance. After Anthony changed to the fourth position in this game, the effect was very obvious. His wide attack range made Morris unable to defend!"

While talking, Anthony had already received a pass from Westbrook to make a mid-range shot. After the goal, the "Melon" smiled very happily, and people seemed to see the heartthrob who was still in Denver back then.

"It's a beautiful guy, thank you!" Anthony took the initiative to step up and slap Westbrook.

"Come on Cameron, we have a long time to perform today!" Westbrook did not forget the conversation with Anthony in the Moda Center after losing the day before yesterday.

The scenery under the winner's feet, Westbrook will never forget. Still the same thing, why can't it be them who rule the league?

"We are in trouble today!" Divac saw that Anthony and Westbrook had completed another beautiful cooperation, and couldn't help but shake his head at Ricard.

Ricard gritted his teeth and stood on the sidelines. He looked up at the big screen on the scene. Just after Anthony scored, the gap between the two sides had widened to 5 points. At this time, there were only two and a half minutes left before the end of the second game of the Western Conference semi-finals.

"Running position! Everyone is active! Find gaps!" Ricard began to yell on the sidelines. In fact, the reason why the Trail Blazers were at a disadvantage today is not because they did not perform well enough, but because Westbrook and Anthony performed so well.

These two guys join forces and should have become the opponents of the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals and even the Finals level. But unfortunately, in the Western Conference, every round is so difficult!

At this time, An Jie knew that he had to stand up, so he did not hesitate anymore, but instead rushed to Napier to ask for the ball at the middle distance.

Napier calmly made a pass from the ground, and the basketball avoided Anthony's palm trying to steal and was reflected in Anjie's hand.

As soon as Angel got the ball, Adams and Ty Gibson immediately doubled up. In such a game, Morris was once again ignored on the offensive end.

Facing the double-team, Anjie was not panicked. He turned around and passed Adams before Gibson joined the siege. Seeing this, Gibson immediately braked and chased the basket. Anjie also raised the basketball, as if he was ready to make a layup directly.

Just as Adams and Gibson both jumped and were about to stop Anjie, Anjie's hand suddenly shrank, stepped away, turned around in the opposite direction, avoided the blocking of Adams and Gibson, and easily hooked and scored.

"Ann's footsteps are still as exquisite as ever. He swayed Adams and Ty Gibson at the same time. Although the ball was completed very well, I have to remind the Trail Blazers. There is not much time left in the game. They will definitely not be able to win if they want to beat the Thunder with one goal!" O'Neal was cheering for Anger's wonderful goals, but also worried about the fate of the Trail Blazers.

An Jie knew that in order to play offensively and turn the situation around, in addition to offense, defense is also the top priority. Only when others cannot score but they can continue to score can attack the offensively.

"Everyone cheered me up and defended every next goal!" An Jie's roar made all the players present alert. They all opened their arms as much as possible, waiting to accept the impact from the Thunder.

Although the Thunder's offensive momentum was particularly strong, under the strict defense of the Trail Blazers, they finally stopped their continuous scoring.

Westbrook's emergency stop jump shot was disturbed by Iguodala who was defending the game and hit the box. After Anjie got the rebound, he seized the opportunity to directly drive the attack. Iguodala made a tough layup, but was overturned to the ground by Gibson.

Most importantly, the referee also felt that this was a reasonable collision and did not impose any punishment on Gibson.

Iguodala got up from the ground and spread her hands at the referee dissatisfied. Of course, he knew that the referee could no longer change the referee. Iguodala did this just to put pressure on the referee.

In the third round of offense, Anthony's backward jump shot was blocked by Morris! This was something Anthony had never thought of before.

After being scored so many points by Anthony, Morris had long hoped to take the opportunity to avenge his previous shame. This blocking made people feel angry.

In a chaotic snatch, Morris threw the basketball to the frontcourt. People looked in the direction of the camera and the person sprinting in the frontcourt was not George or Iguodala, but Anger!

The moment Morris finished the block, Anjie began to run forward. The basketball fell steadily on Anjie's hand, Anjie continued to add, and finally jumped vigorously at the free throw line one or two steps!

At this moment, everyone held their breath. They knew that this basketball stand was going to suffer!

"Bang!" An Jie narrowed the gap between the two sides to 1 point with a powerful dunk, and also caused the "active volcano" in Moda Center to explode again.

Seeing that the game was only 31 seconds left, the team now had only two points. Westbrook and Anthony knew that they could not miss any chance!

This time, Westbrook and Anthony played very cautiously. If the opportunity is not good, they will not force it.

Under Adams' pick-and-roll, Anthony quickly cut into the inside and raised his hand to ask for the ball for Westbrook.

Seeing that Anthony had completely empty in front, Westbrook just threw the ball without thinking. There was no doubt that these two guys were planning to complete the attack with an aerial relay.

Just as everyone was waiting for the exciting shot to appear, An Jie suddenly jumped high and crossed between basketball and Anthony, successfully destroying the pass.

Anjie, who cut off the pass, handed the ball directly to George. As long as these two points were taken, the game would be much easier!

The counterattack in the last few minutes was a good show, and Anjie and the Trail Blazers had done a lot of things. All the fans in the Moda Center raised their arms, and they could no longer wait to watch the birth of another classic turnaround case here.

Just as George was even preparing to lay up with his arms, Cameron Anthony, who was no longer young, continued to increase and snatch the basketball in George's hand from behind at a surprising height!

The basketball rebounded suddenly, but by chance it fell into Westbrook's hands. Westbrook was not stunned. After picking up the basketball, he immediately turned around and broke through. The players of the Trail Blazers had not yet reacted to what was going on.

Westbrook froze through the crowd, finally bypassing Morris and ended the conversion attack with a signature tomahawk-like buckle.

The entire Moda center was silent. They just seemed to have taken a roller coaster. It took only a few seconds to go from the apex to the underestimation.

With 4.3 seconds left in the game, the Trail Blazers were still 3 points behind. In the last moment, Ricard left a long timeout and finally worked. But unfortunately, George, who performed the last shot, failed to hit the shot under the strong interference of Anthony.

When the basketball hit the frame and the red light on the rebound was on, Westbrook and Anthony rushed to the technical stage together, standing on the "throne", enjoying the booing from all directions.

What else can feel better than this when dreams come true? They were still in a low point the day before, but today they became the final winners.

Looking at Anthony and Westbrook celebrating crazy on the technical stage, Anjie couldn't help but shake his head. A competitive heart is the hardest to defeat!

"The Thunders succeeded! They successfully snatched a away game in the tearing city! The total score became a 1-1 draw. After returning to Oklahoma in the next two games, the Thunder will have more room for maneuver!" Looking at Westbrook, who was celebrating crazy on the commentary stage, Jeff Van Gundy's eyes were a little rosy.

This is really a heart-wrenching series, because Van Gundy doesn't know who he supports. He hopes that Anjie can continue to move forward, but he doesn't want the team that he has injected his efforts to stop there. Maybe he can't be called an excellent commentator, because as long as he meets Thunder and Anjie, Van Gundy can't be absolutely neutral.

After the game, Anthony and Westbrook, who joined forces to score 66 points and win, shocked the entire league! Overnight, they became the strongest NBA duo as the media said!

Angel's old rival Sam Smith even threatened to declare that the highly anticipated Trail Blazers actually only have the strength to play in the Western Conference semi-finals. Because the Oklahoma City Thunder obviously has a stronger star combination.

Faced with the various sarcasm of the media, Anjie and the team did not respond at all. After all, what else can be more convincing than actual actions?

You said we will stop here? OK, then I will win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena for you to see!

Maybe this time, Ricard should really thank these media outlets. Because if it weren't for their stimulation, Anjie would probably not have performed like this.

With 49 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks, when the battlefield was transferred to Oklahoma and when the Thunder were ready to pursue the victory, Anjie once again performed a crazy performance at the Chesapeake Energy Arena with an extremely terrifying data.

But now, Thunder fans can't cheer for Anjie's performance. This terrifying oo-number big man is more dominant than he was back then!

Anjie was very active in this game. At the beginning of the game, he led the team to a 6-to-o small **. After that, coach Donovan asked Anthony to play the fourth position, which made the Thunder's offense improve. But this improvement only lasted for a while.

After that, Anjie, who was so angry that he was no longer able to defeat him. Even though Adams had worked very hard, Anjie still made the Thunder's inside line full of holes.

The total score finally turned 2-1, but surprisingly, the leading side became the Portland Trail Blazers.

Anthony now knows the difficulty of this round of series. If he wants to escape unstoppable, it is far from enough for him to lose one game with Westbrook occasionally.

The Trail Blazers and the Thunder once again led alternately, and the series between the two sides entered a fierce competition from the beginning.
