The way of the center

Chapter 825 Forced to stop
"Hello, audience friends. Welcome to the sixth game of the 2017-2018 NBA Finals. This is ESPN. After today's game, we are very likely to see the birth of a new world champion!" Jeff. Van Gundy's voice was in the living rooms of countless homes, and he was one of the few people who thought the Blazers could settle the fight at Quicken Loans Center.

Next to him, TN.T, CBS and other TV stations, without exception, are analyzing the reasons why the Blazers cannot win the championship today.Only ESPN doesn't talk about this topic at all.

An Jie has already stood in the middle circle at this moment. In fact, if possible, Love really wants to apply for the referee to serve the ball directly to the Blazers.In the six games of the finals so far, Love has not touched the basketball at the jump ball in any game.Today, Love also has no hope of winning the ball first.

After all, no matter in terms of height, wingspan or jumping.Love has no upper hand in every aspect.

Sure enough, as soon as the referee threw the basketball, Anjie immediately patted the ball into Napier's hands.

Napier didn't advance after getting the ball, but handed it to Iguodala, who was organizing the Blazers' offense.

After experiencing the finals without Lillard and George, Iguodala averaged 14.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, making him popular all over the world.You know, Iguodala has not averaged more than double-digit points per game in the regular season and playoffs for several consecutive seasons.

Facts have proved that Iguodala is not without strength, but that he will not take action unless he has to.When An Jie and the team need help, this veteran who usually looks harmless will come forward.

Iguodala had barely dribbled the ball past half court when fans in the Quicken Loans Center were booed loudly.Everyone knows that if the Trail Blazers win this game, the Cavaliers will never have a chance to tie.

So in any case, the fans will do their best to interfere with the Trail Blazers fighting on the court.This deafening boo is the biggest weapon of the fans.

Iguodala has played in the league for more than ten years anyway, and he is also one of the few starters on this team who has been with Anjie since the three consecutive championships.This booing did not affect the well-informed Iguodala at all.He just observed the running positions of his teammates, then suddenly passed the ball and sent the ball to Evan Turner.

As soon as Turner received the ball, Derrick Rose rushed forward to steal it.Indeed, at his peak, Rose was a master at stealing and stealing the ball.But now, the speed and explosive power are not as good as the previous Rose, but it is not so easy to succeed.

Turner reacted quickly, raised the basketball high, and successfully avoided Rose's steal.Before Rose could adjust his center of gravity, Turner dribbled the ball to Rose's left and successfully broke through!

"Ross' defense is too impatient! Turner got a rare breakthrough opportunity, how will he handle the ball!?" Seeing Turner breaking through with the ball, Yu Jia in the commentary area was so nervous that he clenched his fists.The Trail Blazers want to win this game, and every offense is undoubtedly very important.

After Turner broke through Rose, LeBron James was the first to make up the defense.James is not afraid of Turner's impact. If necessary, he will ask for an offensive foul.

However, Turner is no longer the stunned young man who was in the 76ers back then. This guy calmly hit the ground, and the basketball escaped James' palm and bounced back into Morris's hands.

Morris is under the basket at the moment, and Love hurried to defend when he saw this situation. He didn't want this extremely powerful guy to complete the dunk.

Facing the menacing Love, Morris did not try his best, but stared at the basket, but suddenly passed the ball to An Jie, who was unmarked.

"Beautiful pass, Morris is not greedy for credit, he made a pass patiently, giving the Trail Blazers a better chance!" Before Jeff Van Gundy could finish speaking, Anjie took the basketball and walked directly two steps.Before Love could turn around and go back to defense, An Jie successfully dunked with both hands!

This powerful dunk echoed well with An Jie's dunk during the warm-up.He wasn't trying to scare people. Today, An Jie will really destroy everything in front of him!
The two iron towers of Morris and Anjie high-fived each other, and the inside line of the Cavaliers was tested from the very beginning of the game.

"Don't worry about Kevin, they can't dunk the whole game. Serve, let's attack back!" James picked up the basketball for Love and stuffed it into Love's arms.

Although this big white man always shows weakness from time to time, he has followed him for many years anyway.Without Love, the Cavaliers would not have achieved these good results.What James has to do now is to blame anyone, and like Anjie, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm!
Love sent the ball quickly, and James held the ball himself. Even if the Cavaliers now have Rose, Wade and Thomas Jr. on the field, they must stand aside.

Facing the menacing James, Morris is not afraid.He knew that he might be at a disadvantage in terms of speed, but Morris also knew that An Jie would always be behind him.

James did not force Morris. What he needs to do now is not to score quickly, but to connect the whole team.

So James passed the ball directly during the march and gave the ball to his old buddy Wade.

Wade made a fake move with the ball, but Iguodala was unmoved at all.Wade is not as good as he was back then. It is not easy for him to break through Iguodala's defense.

So Wade didn't hesitate, and the basketball shifted again. This time, the ball was given to Rose who was cutting inside. Rose leaned on Evan Turner and planned to layup directly!
Turner raised his arms high, but still couldn't seem to reach the basketball.Just when the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena were about to stand up and cheer, An Jie suddenly jumped up at an exaggerated height, raised his long arms, and made a head-to-head blow to Ross through Turner. risk!

Rose fell to the ground in embarrassment, while Turner quickly hugged the basketball that was slapped off by Anjie.

This guy didn't hesitate, and directly took control of the ball and advanced.Now the Trail Blazers are not unavailable, but all the people are soldiers!No matter who it is, they can play with the ball.

The offensive and defensive transition only happened in an instant. Fortunately, the Cavaliers, who had fought four games with the Trail Blazers, did not make a mistake. They retreated at a faster speed, interrupting the momentum of the Blazers' fast break.

Although they failed to rush up, the Blazers' offense was not chaotic at all.After Angie caught up from the backcourt, he made a pick-and-roll for Turner. The former No. [-] player, who had been mediocre before the finals, broke through for the second time in this game.

For the Cavaliers who lack inside players, defending the inside has always been difficult.

When Turner broke through, the man who switched on him had to become Love.Both James and Wade are leaning towards Anjie, hoping to intercept Turner's ball.

However, Turner did not pass the ball. Love's sluggish footwork, even the slow Turner, can easily pass.

I saw this guy pretending to look back, making Love think he was going to pass the ball.As a result, this guy just glanced at An Jie.After deceiving Love and the others, Turner suddenly accelerated, threw Love completely away, and then easily made a layup.

"Ann is just standing there, it is a tactical danger and a pinch point! Look at the defense of the Cavaliers, they are already afraid of hits! As long as the players of the Trail Blazers are smart enough, they will also get this kind of opportunity. A lot!" Although it was Turner who scored the goal, Van Gundy knew that the biggest reason why Turner was able to layup easily was that Anjie attracted the defense for him.

It seems that today Ricard intends to use his players to attack the already weak inside of the Cavaliers.Angie tired?Then let everyone share the pressure for Anjie!

4 to 0, the Cavaliers didn't seem to be playing very well at the beginning.James continued to handle the ball and command the offense loudly.This guy is not afraid that his teammates will not understand his gestures, but he hopes to boost morale with the fans by shouting.

When James yelled, the Cavaliers had already started to move.With the help of Wade and Rose's two high-quality pick-and-rolls, Thomas Jr. successfully got rid of Napier who was biting him like a mad dog.

Napier is indeed active enough, but in terms of defending the pick-and-roll, he still needs to improve a lot.

Although James was yelling on the surface, in fact, he put everything in his heart.

As soon as Thomas Jr. got rid of the defense and fell into position, James immediately started to pass the ball!Another pass, but this time more deadly than before.

The basketball flew straight and fast, and finally came to the left corner.There, Thomas Jr. got an open three-pointer.Morris saw that Napier was still entangled in the crowd, so he volunteered, dropped the basket and rushed out.

Thomas Jr. lifted the basketball and looked like he was about to shoot.Morris jumped high without reservation, hoping to give this defender who is only 175 tall an impressive big risk!

Just as Morris smiled triumphantly, Thomas Jr. suddenly put away the basketball and made a quick breakthrough!
"Realistic shooting fakes! This ball, even I thought Thomas Jr. was going to shoot! In the end, all this is just a foreshadowing for a breakthrough!"

Thomas Jr. made a breakthrough along the bottom line. In front of his eyes, it was An Jie who was like a hill guarding the basket.

Since little Thomas dared to break through, it showed that he had already thought of a way to deal with An Jie.This guy knew that he couldn't rely on An Jie's height of 175 to force a layup, so he suddenly threw a throw in the middle of the breakthrough, intending to use a throw to avoid An Jie's strict defense.

An Jie is also quick to react. As one of the best defensive basketball players in the world, An Jie reacted almost the moment Thomas Jr. threw the ball.

People were expecting the basketball to pass over An Jie's fingertips and then fall into the net.But the fact is, the basketball had just risen not long before it was caught by An Jie, who jumped up high and stretched his long arms as hard as he could!
"Catch the block! Incredible defense, incredible Anjie! What a brutal block! Even on the commentary stage, I was deeply shocked by the scene just now!" Van Gundy yelled heartbreakingly. Cracking the lungs, catching the risk and throwing the shot, how good the prediction and the high defensive range can be done.

The moment An Jie just soared into the air and grabbed the basketball directly, the minds of countless fans suddenly went blank.Recalling that scene a few seconds later, everyone was taken aback again.

Little Thomas, who was still in shock, didn't know what happened just now, so Anjie directly made a long pass, letting the basketball go straight to the frontcourt.In today's league, there are not many players who can pass the ball as long as Anjie.The future cornerstone of the Los Angeles Lakers, Lonzo Ball, is considered a master of long passes, but he is a pure point guard.

As a center, An Jie will break people's stereotyped perception of centers every time he performs.

Iguodala, who received a long pass from Anjie, was not afraid. He dunked directly. Although James followed closely behind him who had just jumped up, Iguodala did not give up his plan because of this.

With a tough dunk and a tough chasing defense, James, who is more physically fit, knocked Iguodala out.But fortunately, that basketball was firmly dunked by Iguodala!
"6 to 0, the Trail Blazers beat the Cavaliers in a 6-0 offensive climax in the opening game. Coach Tyronn Lue was suspended, and the Cavaliers were stopped! Portland Trail Blazers, they are not here Loser! I said that they are very likely to win the championship today, they are not kidding!" Van Gundy was so excited that sweat came out of his forehead, but this did not dampen his passion in the slightest.

He didn't lead Anjie to win a championship, but watching him create a legend is also a kind of enjoyment for Van Gundy.

With a score of 6 to 0, the Quicken Loans Arena was temporarily quiet.In the stands, a man wearing sunglasses was smiling and talking to the woman next to him.

"This guy is like me in some ways."

"Oh? For example?"

"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 bit blessed, looks at the ferocious Anjie on the basketball court. I really miss the time when I competed with you.
The Blazers have already reached the door of the house with a big sword, and it depends on whether the knights who have not scored a point can complete the Jedi counterattack.

The championship is not awarded by other people's opinion of you, but by your own efforts!An Jie's desire for victory is really a bit like that guy in the stands.
