The way of the center

Chapter 816 Counterattack from the "loser"
When An Jie and his teammates ran out of the player tunnel, the reporters and fans were eager to rush to the field to see if these guys were still human.

This is the first time since the Western Conference Finals that fans and reporters have seen live Blazers players.For a team that gets so much attention, it's definitely unusual that no reporters have access to them before the Finals.

It is precisely because of this unusual behavior that the news that the Trail Blazers were fined 50 by the league is now known to everyone.Although the outside world has unanimously determined that the Trail Blazers cannot win the championship, people still can't help but want to see if the Trail Blazers' 50 spend is worth it.

"We can see that despite the loss of George and Lillard, the spirits of the Trail Blazers players are still very full. Under the leadership of Ann, everyone warms up very seriously. This group of guys seems to have a plan .” Kenny Smith chatted about the Trail Blazers before the game even started.After all, in the past few days of being closed to the outside world, the Trail Blazers really left people with too many topics to talk about.

"I can't wait to see the results of coach Ricard's closed training these days. No one can guess what coach Ricard will do, because even he himself doesn't know what he will do. Come on. I hope the Cavaliers are ready, otherwise, they are likely to respond to the sinking of the gutter." Compared with the lace news of the Trail Blazers, Jeff Van Gundy is more concerned about the Blazers' style of play and tactics.

No one knows what this mysterious closed trial training has turned the Trail Blazers into.The outside world said that the Trail Blazers lost, but Van Gundy didn't think so.Didn't the Mavericks who defeated the Heat's Big Three back then lead the team with a single core?

What Nowitzki can do, Anjie, of course it is possible to do it!

Not long after the Trail Blazers players warmed up, everyone from the Cavaliers filed out from another player channel.

Immediately, the scene was full of flashes, and the reporters all raised their cameras.The two teams that reached the finals finally stood on the same field!
After James and Wade stepped onto the court, they did not start warming up immediately, but stared at An Jie on the other side of the court.

"I didn't expect that the two of us would meet this guy again." Wade put his hips on his hips. During the Heat period, Anjie defeated himself and James more than once.Now Wade has gone around in a circle, but once again he will join forces with James to fight Anjie.

"Life is so wonderful Dwyane, just like I didn't expect the two of us to continue working together. Don't worry, man, this year, we will definitely win!" After James finished speaking, he picked up the basketball on the ground and began to warm up.

Players from both sides have entered the fighting state at this moment, and the commentator and basketball fans all over the world can't wait, wanting this battle to start sooner!

The time for the start of the competition is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the Moda Center is getting more and more lively.Although the Trail Blazers are not favored by the whole world, at least in the hearts of Portland fans, their players are still the best.

This group of guys was not stingy with their shouts, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax before the game started.

Ricard looked at his watch under the cheers of the fans, and the time was almost up.It's time to call the players down and make the final deployments!

With a roar and a wave of his hand, Ricard called all the players back.The starting five surrounded Ricard, while the others stood on the periphery.

This crazy coach looked around at the players around him. This group of guys will definitely surprise everyone!

"Are you ready? The enemy is on the other side of us." Ricard said, looking in the direction of the Cavaliers bench.

"A little nervous, boss." Napier didn't hide his nervousness. After all, this was his first time playing in the finals as the team's main point guard.

"It's okay, it's better to be nervous now than to be nervous after playing. Hey, as long as we follow the training routine, we can definitely win! So, don't worry, okay? This game, it's just you Our opponents have changed from each other to someone else." While speaking, James and his Cavaliers had already stood back on the court, and the referee on duty also walked towards the Trail Blazers' bench, probably to signal them to play immediately.

"Everything is the same as in training, guys, let's win the game! One, two, three" An Jie said, stretching out his palm.

"Blazers!" the players yelled as they folded their palms together and stepped onto the field.

Van Gundy quickly took a sip of water while O'Neal adjusted his seat.This series, enough to make the whole world tremble, is finally about to start!

An Jie shook his head, exercising his muscles.He bounced into the middle circle, only to find that Le Fu had already stared at him with a serious face.

This guy who had formed a relationship with himself in college must have worked hard and was ready to use basketball to resolve all grievances on the court.

An Jie looked at Le Fu, who was a head shorter than him, and his eyes suddenly became very scary.The referee took a look at the two big men to make sure they were ready.After that, he threw the basketball into the sky, and An Jie and Love took off almost at the same time! The 2017-2018 season NBA Finals has officially started!

Undoubtedly, when height, wingspan, jumping and experience are more dominant, Anjie easily jumps the ball for the Trail Blazers with an entire slap ahead of Love.

The star-like lineup of the Cavaliers immediately set up a defensive posture. They don't want to be easily scored by the Trail Blazers.

Isaiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love.The starting lineup of the Cavaliers is simply an all-star lineup.This is why the Cavaliers can easily break out of the East.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers, Napier, Evan Turner, Iguodala, Morris and Anjie, this is already the best lineup that Ricard can come up with.Except for An Jie, among these five people, no one's scoring ability reassures the fans.

The huge gap between the two sides in terms of lineup integrity is also the reason why people are generally not optimistic about the Trail Blazers.However, the players of the Trail Blazers were not timid on the field. Even Napier, who was a little nervous before the start of the game, was calm and composed at the moment.

"Although Isaiah Thomas is short, Napier may not necessarily have an advantage against this guy's defense. We all know that Thomas has a very strong core. Napier has to be careful not to be caught by the opponent. A sudden sprint and a steal."

Napier did feel the tremendous pressure brought by Thomas' defense, but now he is more than enough to deal with passing problems.

I saw Napier blocking Thomas' chest with one hand, and with a strong flick of the other hand, he successfully passed the basketball to Anjie's hands.

"Napier! After the experience of the playoffs, this guy has become more and more mature. This is a brilliant pass. Is the Trail Blazers ready to let Ann play alone?" Van Gundy stared wide Eyes, if the problem can be solved by only letting Anjie play singles, Calder doesn't have to work so long there.Certainly not, this attack will definitely not be that simple!
An Jie held the ball in the middle distance, and immediately, Love and James planned to complete the double-team.Now the Trail Blazers are seriously injured, and Anjie is the only stable offensive point.It is definitely right to choose double-teaming at this time!
However, before both James and Love had time to complete the double-team.An Jie suddenly passed the ball again and sent the basketball out.

It took Anjie less than a second from receiving the ball to shooting.So when he passed the ball, people hadn't found out who the ball was passed to.

"A mistake?" A huge question mark emerged in the hearts of countless fans. Could it be that Anjie was overwhelmed in the end?
Just when the fans of the Trail Blazers were almost holding their heads in their hands because of disappointment, Iguodala, who had already gotten rid of the defender by running back, suddenly appeared in the receiving position.

After receiving the basketball, Iguodala did not hesitate, and directly controlled the ball and rushed towards the basket along the baseline!

James had just walked to Anjie's side and before he had time to take a look, he found that Iguodala was completely empty!

James subconsciously wanted to make up the defense, but Iguodala had already jumped high.An extremely wonderful tomahawk-style snap button kicked off what was destined to be an equally exciting final!
Everyone present was stunned. How did Anjie's quick transfer after receiving the ball happen?How does this guy know, Iguodala will definitely run back to the receiving position.You know, when An Jie started to pass the ball, the place was empty!If Iguodala is slower, this assist will turn into a mistake!

Under James' surprised eyes, Anjie and Iguodala clapped intimately.After that, Anjie made an "OK" gesture to Ricard on the bench.

The tactics were executed very successfully, and this is just the tip of the iceberg in closed training.

The Trail Blazers, short of major generals, are vulnerable?I'm afraid that's not the case.

James picked up the basketball on the ground and looked at the smiling No. 00 center.If you want to defeat the Blazers and win the championship, I am afraid that the Cavaliers and James must work harder.
