The way of the center

Chapter 500 Anjie Moment
Almost all TV cameras captured the conversation between An Jie and James.People know that the conversation between the two leading stars is by no means an expression of friendliness.They are calling out the gauntlet for each other, for the fierce battle that is about to come.

In the first round after James came back, the Heat's offense hit him.With the intermission, James' off-court time is less than 5 minutes.For others, this time is not even enough time to catch their breath.But for James, just a few minutes is enough for him to adjust his breathing.

After James took the ball, he calmly faced Iguodala who was flailing his teeth and claws. Iguodala is indeed very strong, but he can only be called "LeBron who is one size smaller".

James alternately dribbled the ball with his left and right hands. In the end, without the help of a pick-and-roll, James suddenly accelerated and just crushed the strong Iguodala!
After James broke through, he went straight to the basket. Facing Anjie's block, James was not afraid.He forced a layup against An Jie's rough defense, and An Jie has never felt such a huge pressure on any outside player!
The rushing James was like a small truck. No matter how powerful An Jie was, it would be difficult for him to resist such a huge impact.

In the end, James' "tank-style" breakthrough was successful again.As for Anjie, it is also very rare that he loses in a frontal confrontation with an outside player.

Durant, Anthony, Rose, Kobe, or Wade just now, there have been countless outstanding outside players who have been deflated under the basket guarded by Anjie.However, LeBron, he broke the Trail Blazers inside beast!
"It's so strong!" If even Anjie felt that it was very difficult to carry James, then Iguodala would not have to mention it.

After James completed the offense, on the defensive end, he was also actively running non-stop.

Double-teaming Anjie with Bosh, this is the change the Heat made on the defensive end.

James goes inside to double-team, and Iguodala will naturally get an open opportunity.However, James seems to have inexhaustible physical strength. As long as Lillard is about to pass the ball to Iguodala, James will always rush to block it desperately.

In other words, James watched Anjie and Iguodala alone!Running back and forth tirelessly is the key to James' ability to do this.

Under James' frantic running around, Lillard, who is not organized well, decided to play one by himself.Facing Chalmers' defense, Lillard took advantage of his athletic ability to make a mid-range shot.

Although the goal was scored, Lillard knew that this was not a long-term effective scoring method.It is impossible for him to throw the ball against the defense every time.If you want to play a truly efficient offense, you have to hit the ball into An Jie's hands.

After changing the Heat's offense, James may have started to organize the offense for his own physical considerations.Maybe the confrontation with Anjie just now, let James know that it will consume a lot of his energy.So it's impossible for him to spend the whole quarter with An Jie.

This guy is only responsible for directing and passing the ball, and the final blow is left to his teammates to complete.Using double the physical strength on the defensive end, James naturally has to save it on the offensive end.

An exquisite ground-up pass, James let Bosh cut the ball.However, when Bosh was just about to take off, Anjie did everything and stole the basketball.

Now, the star positions of the two teams are complete opposites.Anjie wanted to attack by himself, but it was difficult for him to receive the ball under James' harassment.

James, on the contrary, hopes to connect his teammates and let them score for him.But under Anjie's defense, if the Heat want to score, James must personally attack.

These two guys restrain each other and give each other hard questions.The game scene was once made very ugly by them. After all, repeated strikes are indeed nothing to watch.

This situation lasted until the end of the second quarter, and it didn't get better until Anjie went off to rest again.

James' organization finally worked. Without Anjie, the rest of the Heat can finally score points in a breakthrough way.

But the Blazers are still struggling under the high-intensity defense. Without Anjie, their offense is even more messed up.Nicolas Batum continued his excellent performance in the first quarter.But a mere Batum can't compete with James at all.

In the end, fans of the Rose Garden were surprised.James played all the games in the second quarter!They expected the Blazers to take this opportunity to make up for the decline after James left the field, but now it seems that the halftime is at a huge disadvantage, and it is already an irreversible situation.

Due to Anjie's inability to receive the ball, the rest of the Trail Blazers were unable to score for a long time.The Heat scored a score that made Trail Blazers fans desperate in an away game.

52 to 39, in just 24 minutes, the defending champion Heat led the Blazers by 13 points!
"The Heat deserve to be the defending champions. It's the first time I've seen a team leading the Trail Blazers by so many points in just half a game!" Mike Breen knows how powerful the Trail Blazers are.This team has brought him and the fans countless surprises and classics this season.

But the powerful Blazers fell behind by so many points at halftime.The Miami Heat, or rather LeBron James, has totally proven he's the best of the best!

The gap of 13 points is not too big, and there is still a whole half of time left for the Blazers.But these 13 points are still like a heavy stone, pressing on the Blazers.The Heat's defense has been experienced by the Trail Blazers players in the first half of the game. It may not be so easy to tie with 13 points under such a defensive intensity.

"Guys." In the Trail Blazers locker room, Anjie spoke just after Rickard finished arranging the tactics with Anjie as the core of the offense.

The players all focused their attention on An Jie, and they all wanted to know what their leader would say next.

"You have also experienced this kind of defensive intensity. This is definitely not the defense that should be in the regular season! Therefore, the purpose of the Heat and LeBron is very clear. They are playing this game as a preview of the finals! Therefore, we, too We must regard this as our last battle!" When An Jie spoke, the locker room was silent and no one interrupted.

"Guys in the finals, O'Brien Cup! Let's play the Heat 1-0 before the finals!" An Jie saw that the emotions of his teammates changed from disappointment to excitement, from remorse to confidence.An Jie knew that he had succeeded.

With his teammates who regained confidence, Anjie used a perfect help defense to make James miss his first offensive layup in the second half, which also opened the curtain for the third quarter of the game between the two sides.

After the Trail Blazers' offensive round, James found that Anjie's desire to score was much higher than in the first half.Now even in the face of double-teaming, Anjie did not easily hand over the ball.He seemed to speed up his offensive tempo, intending to score the ball before James and Bosh completed the encirclement.

This was the first attack, and Anjie hooked directly under Bosh's defense.The huge physical gap between the two not only allowed Anjie to hit a hook, but also allowed him to cheat another shooting foul.

"I definitely didn't mean it!" Bosh yelled at the referee, and the referee knew that Bosh didn't mean it.But sometimes, rules are rules.An Jie just made reasonable use of the rules.

Anjie couldn't control whether Bosh was happy or not, he made an extra penalty steadily, and the gap between the Blazers and the Heat became [-] points!
In the process of returning to defense, Bosh, who was out of breath, deliberately had some small scratches with Anjie.Anjie planned to defend honestly, but Bosh actually sent a big gift.Respect is worse than obedience, An Jie didn't even think about it, he covered the arm that was bumped by Bosh, and exaggeratedly "bounced" several meters away.

Judging from the TV screen, Bosh did collide with Anjie during the retreat.And obviously, Bosh's collision was deliberate.Now coupled with An Jie's performance, an offensive foul is inevitable.

Bosh just wanted to rush to the referee, but was stopped by James.Once the referee has made a verdict, it will be useless to say more.

"This guy has already started to use unscrupulous means. Be careful, Chris." James reminded Bosh that instead of going to the referee to trouble him, he might as well think about how to deal with Anjie.

Since Bosh "fouled" first, the ball directly fell into the hands of the Trail Blazers.In order to avoid being double-teamed, An Jie mentioned the position on the free throw line to catch the ball.

In this way, the area between Anjie and Iguodala becomes very large.Now, even James can't switch defenses between the two while coming and going as freely as he did in the first half.

As for what An Jie will do next, it is very simple.It is not difficult for An Jie to single out Bosh!

Sink your shoulders, feint, start, break through.An Jie's series of actions were completed in one go.Bosh managed to catch up with Anjie, but Anjie suddenly used a back-turning jumper to win space for himself and hit the ball.

With 8 points, the Heat's lead instantly returned to single digits.

After that, the Blazers' offense was completely dominated by Anjie.He used his all-round skills to score at the basket continuously. The most commendable thing is that during the period of his scoring, Anjie has not allowed the Heat to score even one point!
James' physical strength has now begun to fluctuate. He tried to break through twice, but finally missed under the strong defense of Anjie.The weaker the physical strength, the more afraid of high-intensity confrontation.It's just that James now gets the most special "care" from the Trail Blazers.

After several rounds of the game, An Jie scored four consecutive points.Now there is not much time until the end of the third quarter, and An Jie has already closed the gap one step further.

Seeing Lillard coming again with the ball, Bosh couldn't help wiping the big sweat on his forehead.From trailing by 13 points to now being chased by only 4 points, the Blazers' offense is completely arranged by Anjie alone.And the one who was hurt the most was naturally Bosh.

As soon as Anjie stepped into the three-point line, he began to ask Lillard for the ball.This guy is now red-eyed, as long as the ball is not in his hands, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

James found the right moment, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards An Jie.Although An Jie had a strong desire to attack, he did not become impulsive because of it.

Calmly, he caught sight of James rushing up out of the corner of his eye. An Jie raised the basketball high above his head with both hands, and James flew into the air in embarrassment.

The first barrier had failed, and An Jie quickly dribbled the ball inside while James' center of gravity had not recovered.Bosh was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he should premise or retreat.There is no way, An Jie has too many offensive methods, and basically everyone who defends him will face this difficult moment of decision.

In the end, Bosh decided to move forward.In this way, if An Jie couldn't stop the car, he might still make an offensive foul.

However, just when An Jie was about to bump into Bosh, An Jie suddenly changed his pace and turned around quickly with Bosh as the axis. With just this one step, he passed Bosh cleanly!

After passing Bosh, Anjie didn't make any extra moves. He jumped up vigorously, and under the pursuit of James, he successfully dunked the ball in with his wingspan advantage!

"Two points! The Trail Blazers are only one attack away from tying the game!" Mike Breen has devoted himself to the game at this moment, and Anjie's performance of dominating the game is really incredible.

"This guy's footsteps are amazing! Most people of his height would just trip himself up if he did that kind of movement!" O'Neill was also shocked by Anjie's performance. Rely on the body to squeeze hard.But An Jie used those exquisite dance-like steps.

Chalmers controlled the ball and attacked towards the hinterland of the Trail Blazers. Up to now in the third quarter, the Heat have not scored a single point!The 13-point advantage at halftime is now gone.

Chalmers did not hesitate, just like the Blazers would give the ball to Anjie, Chalmers also gave the ball to James.

James beckoned Bosh to pick and roll for him, and he just wanted to pull out Angel who was defending Bosh.

Seeing Anjie obediently following Bosh's ass, James was overjoyed.As long as he successfully breaks through, the basket without An Jie guarding him is simply an open door!

As soon as James bypassed the pick-and-roll and was about to break through, he found a "high wall" lying across his breakthrough route.

League No.1 is not stupid, he subconsciously wants to pass the ball, but finds that he has no room to pass the ball.Anjie and Iguodala perfectly doubled James!
James held the basketball up high and twisted wildly, and Anjie's huge defensive range interfered with his sight.In a burst of confusion, James saw Wade running behind him.As long as Wade is in place, James can successfully send the ball.

However, Iguodala would not wait for James to complete the pass. He seized the opportunity and made a gamble-like shot, which took the basketball in James' hands!

The basketball lost control and jumped towards the middle circle. Iguodala and James both fell to the ground to catch the ball. In the end, Iguodala, who reacted half a beat faster, took the basketball into his arms.

Iguodala saw a figure running towards the Heat's half court. Without thinking about it, he lay on the ground and threw the ball.

It's Lillard!The guy's speed allowed him to catch long passes from Iguodala on the ground with ease.But at the same time, Wade also stuck tightly behind Lillard.It's really not Lillard's specialty to make layups under high-intensity confrontation.

Lillard glanced back, and he suddenly remembered the pre-match performance between him and Anjie before today's game.A bold idea gradually formed in the mind of this rookie guard.

Lillard took two strides to the basket, he threw the basketball to the basket, and Wade jumped up to block the shot.But the basketball didn't fly to the basket, but bounced straight to the backboard.

"Such a low-level miss?" Wade was still wondering in his heart, Lillard's ball was too crooked.

However, in the next second, Wade felt a shadow shrouded behind him.Turning his head, Wade only saw that An Jie had already flown into the air, and the Chinese raised the ball above his head with fierce hands.After that, hit the hoop hard!

"Incredible goal! My God! Lillard and Anjie's lob! This is the regular season, not an All-Star performance!" Yu Jia almost exploded after seeing this scene in the studio, the Chinese , It may be the first time to score such a wonderful goal in the NBA!
"Scored 13 points in a row, An did it! And in such a wonderful way! An incredible big man, the Chinese center who dominates the league!" Mike Breen put the focus on An Jie's 13 points in a row.No matter what the commentators think of the ball just now, in short, they must use words of praise.

"Is this kid so good!?" James looked incredulously at An Jie who roared at the audience after the dunk landed.

Scored 13 points to tie the game, what a joke! ?This is not an achievement that any cat or dog can achieve!

"Friends in the audience, welcome to the Anjie moment!" Kenny Smith's casual commentary made him inadvertently create a classic vocabulary in NBA history.

And the Big Three of the Heat may not have imagined that even if they were killed, the three of them became the basis for the creation of this word
