Chapter eight hundred and forty nine: forced to stop
"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the sixth match of the 2o17-2o18 NBA Finals. Here is ESPN. After today's game, we are likely to see a new world champion born!" Jeff Van Gundy's voice appeared in the living room of countless families, and he was one of the few people who thought the Trail Blazers could solve the battle in the loan center arena.
Next to him, CBS and other TV stations, without exception, are analyzing why the pioneer team was unable to win the championship today. Only espn did not discuss this topic at all.
Anjie has already entered the central circle at this moment. In fact, if possible, Love really wants to apply for the referee to give the ball to the Trail Blazers directly. So far, Love has played six games in the finals, and there is no game in which Love can touch the basketball while jumping the ball. Today, Love doesn't have any hope for the first attack.
After all, Love has no advantage in every aspect, whether it is height, wingspan or bounce.
As expected, the referee had just thrown the basketball out, and An Jie immediately rapped the ball into Napier's hands.
Napier did not advance after getting the ball, but handed it to Iguodala, who organized the Trail Blazers' offense.
After experiencing this final without Lillard and George, Iguodala's comprehensive data averaged 7 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game made him very popular all over the world. You should know that Iguodala has been in the regular season and playoffs for several consecutive seasons, and has not averaged double digits per game.
Facts have proved that Iguodala is not without strength, but will not take action by himself until she has to. When Anjie and the team need help, this veteran who seems to be unthreatening on weekdays will stand up.
Iguodala had just passed the ball for halftime, and the fans in the Loan Center Arena made huge booing. Everyone knew that if the Trail Blazers won this game, the Cavaliers would never have a chance to equalize again.
So no matter what, fans will do their best to interfere with the Trail Blazers fighting on the court. This deafening boo is the biggest weapon for fans.
Iguodala has played in the league for more than ten years, and he is one of the few players in this team who have been with Anjie since his three consecutive championships. This booing did not affect the knowledgeable Iguodala at all. He just observed the running position of his teammates, and suddenly passed the ball and sent the ball to Evan Turner.
Turner had just received the ball, and Derek Ross rushed forward to steal. Indeed, at his peak, stealing and stealing the ball was awesome. But now, his degree and explosive power are much worse than before, and it is not as easy to succeed.
Turner reacted quickly, lifted the basketball high and successfully avoided Ross' steal. Before Ross' center of gravity could be adjusted, Turner dribbled the ball to Ross' left and successfully broke through!
"Ross' defense is too impatient! Turner has a rare opportunity to break through. How will he handle the ball??" Seeing Turner break through with the ball, Yu Jia in the commentary area was so nervous that he clenched his fists. If the Trail Blazers want to win the championship in this game, every attack is undoubtedly very important.
After Turner broke through Ross, the first one to make up for defense was LeBron James. James was not afraid of Turner's impact. If necessary, he would also ask for an offensive foul.
However, Turner is no longer the young man who was in the 76ers back then. This guy calmly hit the ground, and the basketball avoided James's palm and bounced back to Morris's hand.
Morris was at the basket at this moment. Seeing this, Love hurriedly made up for defense. He didn't want this extremely powerful guy to complete the dunk.
Facing the aggressive Love, Morris did not show off his power, but stared at the basket, but suddenly handed it in his hand, passing the ball to Anjie who was unmarked.
"Beautiful pass, Morris is not greedy for merit. His patient pass gives the Trail Blazers a better opportunity!" Before Jeff Van Gundy finished speaking, Anjie took the basketball and took two steps directly. Before Love could turn around and return to defense, Anjie had already successfully dunked with both hands!
This powerful dunk echoed An Jie's dunk during warm-up. He was not exaggerating. Today, An Jie will really destroy everything that is standing in front of him!
Morris and Angel had high-fives on each other, and the Cavaliers' inside line was tested from the beginning of the game.
"Don't worry about Kevin, they can't dunk the whole game. Let's attack back!" James picked up the basketball for Love and stuffed it into Love's arms.
Although this big white man always performs weak from time to time, he has been following him for many years. Without Love, the Cavaliers would not have achieved these good results. James has to blame anyone for doing a lot now, and like Anger, mobilizes everyone's enthusiasm!
Love is about to get the ball out, and James controls the ball himself. Even if the Cavaliers now have three defenders on the court, Rose, Wade and Thomas Jr., they must stand aside.
Facing the aggressive James, Morris was not afraid. He knew that he might suffer a loss, but Morris also knew that Anjie would always be behind him.
James did not force Morris to beat him. What he needs to do now is not to score quickly, but to connect the entire team.
So James passed the ball directly while he was moving and gave the ball to his old friend Wade.
Wade made a false break with the ball, but Iguodala was unmoved at all. Wade is not as easy as he was back then. It is not easy for him to break through Iguodala's defense.
So Wade did not hesitate and the basketball moved again. This time, the ball was given to Ross who cut in. Ross leaned against Evan Turner and planned to make a layup directly!
Turner raised his arms high, but it seemed that he could not reach the basketball. Just as the fans in the Loan Center Arena were about to stand up and cheer, Anjie suddenly jumped high at an exaggerated height, raised his long arms, and completed a big blow to Ross through Turner!
Ross fell to the ground in a mess, and Turner quickly hugged the basketball that was blown down by Anjie.
This guy didn't hesitate and directly controlled the ball and advanced. Now the Trail Blazers are not unavailable, but the whole nation is a soldier! No matter who it is, he can get the ball.
The offense and defense conversion was only a moment. Fortunately, the Cavaliers, who had fought with the Trail Blazers for 4 games, did not make any mistakes. They retreated and defended faster, interrupting the Trail Blazers' momentum to play fast attacks.
Although he couldn't rush, the Trail Blazers' offense was not at all messed up. After Anjie caught up from the backcourt, he made a pick-and-roll for Turner. This second-placeman who performed mediocrely before the Finals made a breakthrough for the second time in this game.
For Cavaliers who lack inside players, defending the inside has always been a difficult task.
When Turner broke through, the person who switched to him had to become Love. James and Wade were leaning against Angel, hoping to intercept Turner's pass.
However, Turner did not pass the ball, and Love's slow pace could easily pass even if he was unhappy.
This guy pretended to look back, which made Love think he was going to pass the ball. As a result, the guy just glanced at An Jie. After tricking Love and others, Turner suddenly added, completely threw Love away, and then easily made a layup.
"An just stands there, it's a tactical danger and restraint point! Look at the Cavaliers' defense, they are already afraid of hitting! As long as the Trail Blazers players are smart enough, they will get a lot of this opportunity!" Although the person who scored the goal was Turner, Van Gundy knew that the biggest reason why Turner could easily make a layup in this goal was that Anger attracted him to defend.
It seems that Ricard is planning to use his players to attack the already weak inside line of the Cavaliers. Are Anjie tired? Then let everyone share the pressure for Anjie!
4-to-o, as soon as the game started, the Cavaliers seemed to have not played very smoothly. James continued to control the ball and directed the attack loudly. This guy was not afraid that his teammates would not understand his gestures, but hoped to use yelling with the fans to boost morale.
When James was yelling, the Cavaliers had already started running. Thomas Jr. borrowed two highly-quality pick-and-rolls Wade and Ross, and successfully got rid of Napier who was biting himself like a mad dog.
Napier is indeed active enough, but there are still many things he needs to improve on defending pick-and-roll.
Although James was yelling on the surface, in fact, he kept everything in his heart.
Thomas Jr. just got rid of the defense and fell to the position, and James immediately started to pass the ball! Another pass, but this time the pass was even more deadly than just now.
The basketball flew straight and fast, and finally arrived at the bottom corner on the left. There, Thomas Jr. got an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer at an open position. Seeing that Napier was still entangled in the crowd, Morris volunteered, threw the basket and rushed out.
Thomas Jr. raised the basketball and seemed to be about to shoot. Morris jumped high without reservation, hoping to give this guard who is only 175 in height a deep attack!
Just as Morris smiled proudly, Thomas suddenly put away the basketball and broke through quickly!
"Realistic shooting fake action! Even I thought Thomas Jr. was going to shoot! As a result, all this was just a forum for breakthroughs!"
Thomas broke through along the bottom line, and before him was Anjie, who was like a hill guarding the basket.
Since Thomas dared to break through, it means that he had already figured out a way to deal with An Jie. This guy knew that he could not rely on his height of 175 to force a layup, so he suddenly threw when he was halfway through, intending to use a throw to avoid An Jie's strict defense.
Anjie was also quick to react. As one of the best defenders in the world, Anjie responded almost the moment Thomas Jr. threw the ball out.
People are looking forward to the basketball being able to cross An Jie's fingertips and then fall into the net. But the fact is that the basketball has just risen shortly after it was caught by An Jie who jumped high and stretched his long arms as hard as possible!
"Catch the block! Incredible defense, incredible Anjie! What a brutal block! Even on the commentary stage, I was deeply shocked by the picture just now!" Van Gundy yelled heart-wrenchingly, grab the block and throwing. What a good prediction and how high the defense range is to achieve it.
The moment An Jie took the air and grabbed the basketball directly, countless fans' minds suddenly became blank. After a few seconds, everyone was shocked again.
Thomas, who was still in shock, didn't know what he had just given birth, so Anjie made a long pass and let the basketball go straight to the frontcourt. Now, there are not many players in this league who can pass long passes like Anjie. Lang Zopol, the future cornerstone of the Los Angeles Lakers, is a master of long passes, but he is a pure point guard.
As a center, An Jie's performance will break people's stereotyped perception of center.
Iguodala, who received Angel's long pass, was not afraid. He dunked directly. Although James followed behind him who had just jumped up, Iguodala did not give up on his plan.
With a tough dunk and a tough chase to defend, James, who was more physically qualified, knocked Iguodala out. But thankfully, the basketball was steadily dunked by Iguodala!
"6-to-o, as soon as the game started, the Trail Blazers played the Cavaliers with a 6-to-o offensive climax. Coach Tyronlu was suspended, and the Cavaliers were stopped! Portland Trail Blazers, they were not here to lose! I said that they were likely to win the championship today, and they were not just a joke!" Van Gundy was so excited that the sweat on his forehead came out, but this could not reduce his passion at all.
He has not led Angel to the championship, but watching him create a legend is also a pleasure for Van Gundy.
The score of 6 to O made the Loan Center Stadium temporarily quiet. In the stands, a man wearing sunglasses was smiling and talking to the woman next to him.
“This guy looks a lot like me in some places.”
"Oh? What about it?"
"For example, we all like to do things that others think are impossible!" The man smiled and took off his sunglasses.
Kobe Bryant, who is already a little lucky, looks at An Jie who is fierce on the basketball court. I really miss the time I played with you back then.
The Trail Blazers have already reached the doorstep with a big sword, and it depends on whether the Knight, who has not yet won a single point, can complete the Jedi counterattack.
Chapter completed!
