&1t;The Cleveland Cavaliers' locker room was lifeless, which contrasted with the atmosphere before the game began.

The players were silent one by one, and even James's face was full of reluctance. He was the dominant Eastern Conference overlord, a team with an All-Star lineup. Now, at the break, he was forced into a desperate situation by a Portland Trail Blazers with a disorganized lineup.

5o to 58. If the game time is one or two more rounds, the Trail Blazers may have widened the gap to double digits.

The Trail Blazers, which originally seemed unthreatening, are now full of soldiers. There is no need to say much about Anjie's performance, but even a guy like Evan Turner, who is almost forgotten, scored 11 points in the half game. This data is enough to illustrate the problem.

Just as the air in the locker room was about to freeze, Tyron Lu suddenly pushed the door open and entered. It can be seen from the expressions of this guy that the reporters outside must have asked many embarrassing questions just now.

"Okay guys, it's really a tough game. But don't worry, we still have a chance to change it." Tyron Lu clapped his hands, and the players' eyes gradually recovered.

For the Cavaliers who are full of confidence, it is indeed too harmful to morale to suffer such a blow in the half game. James also knows that after the second half, he must stand up like Anger to set an example. If the morale of the army cannot be stabilized, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to turn the tables in the face of the iron-clad defense of the Trail Blazers.

Tyron Lu began to set up the tactics for the second half of the game, and he focused more on defense. From double-teaming Anjie at the beginning to the people behind him. Now Tyron Lu requires the players to change defense flexibly.

The Trail Blazers' exquisite pass and pick-and-roll cooperation in the first half made the Cavaliers suffer a great loss, and their defense must become flexible to have the opportunity to limit the opponent's scoring.

As for the offensive end, Tyron Lu asked the players to open up space as much as possible. Especially Angel and Morris, the existence of these two people has turned the paint area of ​​Moda Center into a veritable no-fly zone. I believe James, Wade, Thomas Jr. and Ross have a deep understanding of this.

After a while, Tyron Lu made all arrangements. But when he looked at the players below, everyone seemed to be unsure.

"Okay guys, it's time to play! The Trail Blazers will make mistakes and be defeated! Just eight points behind, as long as everyone works together, they will definitely win the game!" James had to stand up at the last moment and say a few inspiring words, which made the morale of the Cavaliers rebound.

The players rushed out of the player's passage one by one and returned to the court. As soon as they stepped out, they heard cheers from the audience.

However, these cheers were not for the Cavaliers players, because opposite the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers rushed out under the leadership of Anjie!

James and Angel looked at each other, and these two guys were so familiar with each other. Angel won the three previous championships from James.

As a "son of genius", James has never lost so completely in his career. This year, no matter what, James will defeat Angel and his team. This is not only for the Cavaliers and the championship, but also for himself to break through the curse.

Both sides quickly stood on the court, made the baseline ball and started the second half. Tyron Lu looked at the field and seemed to have some changes in the Trail Blazers' lineup.

Iguodala was still present, but Turner, who scored 11 points in the first half, disappeared. Instead, Amino, who is known for his defense. However, it seems that it is not the case that Ricard wanted to consolidate his defense. Because Morris, the "Big Bull" who once suffered from James's blood in the first half, did not play, but was replaced by European big man Yusuf Nurkic.

Ricard's somewhat inconsistent substitution made Tyron Lu a little confused. But now he couldn't immediately call a timeout to change his tactics because of the appearance of Amino and Nurkic. Sometimes, the opponent's substitution may not be effective.

After Thomas Jr. controlled the ball and over half, the Trail Blazers immediately put a tight defense against everyone.

Now the Trail Blazers are not afraid of the Cavaliers' players breaking through. Anyway, after the breakthrough, Anjie will guard the basket. Therefore, they can defend without reservation and use mad dog-like entanglement to prevent the Cavaliers from attacking on the outside.

Kevin Love responded to Tyron Lu's strategy and pulled him to the outside to create space for others. But this time, the person who followed Love was no longer Angel, but Nurkic.

When Morris was not around, the entire inside line was guarded by Anjie himself. Tristan Thompson did not have the ability to open up space. Therefore, Anjie could be assured and bold as he stayed near the three-second zone.

After conducting the ball several times, the Cavaliers did not get much chance. In the end, James planned to use a forced breakthrough to pull out the gap.

But now, James is no longer facing Iguodala or Turner, who is thin. Instead, he is a Nigerian royal nobleman with a power forward figure but can move like a small forward, Amino.

Previously, although Amino was very strong and tall and long arms, for some reason, this guy didn't like physical confrontation when defending.

But now, after experiencing the "force" of Ricard's closed training, Aminu is increasingly liking to use her physical advantages when defending.

The tonnage is larger, the body is more shaped, and the wingspan is longer. Amino's defense makes it very difficult for James, who is underestimating the enemy, to break through.

Finally, James had to take a step back to open up the space between himself and Amino, and then he had a chance to breathe.

After taking a step back, James suddenly shot. However, interfering with the shooting was Amino's strength. This guy's judgment on the timing of the shooting was very accurate. With his long arms, James thought he had obtained the opportunity, but in the end he almost interfered with the shooting.

The basketball undoubtedly knocked out the frame, and Anjie easily protected the defensive rebound on Tristan Thompson's head. As soon as the first attack in the second half, the Cavaliers failed again.

After the successful defense, the Trail Blazers did not improve their qualities, and Iguodala still commanded the offense slowly. The value of this veteran is fully reflected at this moment.

Although he can no longer average 17 or 8 points per game like before, and although he can no longer perform inhumane dunks frequently, as long as this guy is present, he can always play a role.

Anjie stepped forward and planned to cooperate with Iguodala with a pick-and-roll. Iguodala did not hesitate and immediately broke through in the direction of Anjie's cover.

There is no need to say much about Anjie's pick-and-roll quality. James will definitely take some time to bypass Anjie's pick-and-roll. Love, who is following Anjie, continues to follow the tactical actions arranged by the coach. He flexibly switches and switches defense with James without hesitation.

Angel also cut in time after the pick-and-roll. His move scared Tristan Thompson and James to Angel at the same time, for fear that he would rage the basket again.

As expected, Iguodala, who had broken through halfway through, leaned against Love and passed the ball to Anjie who had cut in.

Thompson and James immediately flipped in. James didn't believe that Angel could score under such circumstances.

After holding the ball, An Jie stared at the basket tightly and held the basketball with both hands. It seemed that he was planning to start three steps directly.

Seeing that Angel was about to collide with Thompson and James, the big man who looked at the basket suddenly threw the basketball aside.

Nurkic, who was ambushing at the middle distance, steadily caught the incoming ball. This basically solid European big man made a mid-range shot without anyone being guarded. Anjie's assist after attracting defense was still as accurate as a scalpel. The unique soft touch of European big man made the Cavaliers immediately experience a failed defense after experiencing a failed attack.

"Oh!" Tyron Lu waved his fist unwillingly. Seeing that the defense was about to succeed, An Jie suddenly found another gap. It seemed that Ricard's seemingly contradictory substitution was not a tactical decision-making mistake, but a targeted adjustment.

With Nurkic, Anjie can better show his strength on the offensive end. Amino's appearance allowed the Trail Blazers' defensive oppression to spread from the three-second zone to the outside.

Now, the score difference was completely widened by the Trail Blazers to double digits. In just two rounds, Angel let James know that reality will never be as happy as he imagined. James' idea of ​​a Jedi counterattack encountered great obstacles from the beginning.

As the game continues to deepen, the advantage of the Cavaliers' many stars is finally gradually reflected. Although the Trail Blazers can limit a certain point, when facing a team with four people, the Trail Blazers' defense will inevitably encounter trouble.

Thomas Jr.'s impact became an unexpected trouble for the Trail Blazers, and Derek Ross' continued highlight performance also surprised the commentators.

On the contrary, James and Wade's two good brothers have performed very average today. Perhaps it was because the Trail Blazers set more defenses against them, which led to such a situation.

Although the Cavaliers gradually regained their rhythm and made wonderful offenses, the Trail Blazers have always been the ones who took the lead from beginning to end.

The first quarter ended with Ross' buzzer-beating shot that allowed the Cavaliers to take the lead, which was the only score lead for the Cavaliers in the whole game.

The game continued until the end of the fourth quarter. The Trail Blazers looked at the storm of wind and rain under the bombardment of Cavaliers' stars, but they remained tenacious and steady.

When Amino's defense was not effective, Ricard replaced Turner and scored a few points. After Nurkic was targeted, Ricard was able to replace Morris to strengthen the defense and let Anger attack. Iguodala could not pass the ball, while Napier continued to do his job.

In short, no matter how the Cavaliers adjust or limit the limit, they can only limit the Trail Blazers for a short period of time. As they are about to rebel, Ricard is always able to get out of the predicament through substitutions and strategy changes.

James was so close again and again, but he was left behind by the Trail Blazers when he was closest.

In the last minute of the game, the Cavaliers' tense string was finally broken under the pressure of the Trail Blazers. The continuous ironshots of Ross and Thomas Jr. and a pass mistake by James made the Cavaliers completely lose the game.

Although it looked stormy but the Trail Blazers, who persisted until the end, finally won the game as they wished.

When Anjie held the ball outside the three-point line and the red light on the rebound finally lit up, the tall oo player smashed the basketball on the floor and then whistled to the sky!

Faced with the contempt of the whole world, the hard closed training, the unacceptable family, the fine of up to $50,000, and the injuries of Lillard and George... Under the influence of countless adverse factors, Anjie finally gritted his teeth and persevered until the end, achieving a hard-won victory.

This guy raised his arms and roared wildly, venting all the unwilling emotions in his heart. You said I was destined to lose, but now, see who took the lead?

"To be honest, in the last three minutes of the game, I thought the Trail Blazers would not be able to withstand it. Unexpectedly, the James Legion was the one who collapsed first. This was undoubtedly a wonderful tug-of-war, and Ann and the Trail Blazers became the final winner with their tougher will. Audience friends, I took back what I said before. Although Damien and George were missing, this final was still full of suspense!" Kenny Smith was completely impressed by the performance of the Trail Blazers. He originally thought that the Cavaliers were destined to pass the level easily. But after this game, Kenny Smith found himself wrong.

Anjie was still roaring hideously in the middle of the court. This lion from the east was marking his territory on the land of Portland!
Chapter completed!
