Chapter 56

An Xiaonan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and now there are a little more than 6 minutes before the end of the game. The score of the two sides is 88:87, and the Magic temporarily leads by one point.

James took the initiative to defend An Xiaonan, and An Xiaonan was not surprised by this.After coming to the frontcourt, he suddenly felt that the offense was not as difficult as before. The reason was that he had an extra Aaron Gordon by his side.

What kind of existence is Gordon, one of the most potential power forwards in the league, and one of the most versatile power forwards.In the East, his strength is definitely among the best among power forwards.

With such a partner by his side, An Xiaonan also has enough confidence in his heart.

The Cavaliers sent Thompson, who is good at defense, to defend Gordon, apparently planning to strangle An Xiaonan through James and Thompson's ability to let go.

But can An Xiaonan be guarded?

Of course not!
He once again used his invincible shifting speed to pass James, and rushed to the inside in one go!
Thompson scolded angrily, and took a step across to block An Xiaonan, trying to make An Xiaonan unable to shoot and pass the ball by pressing close to him.

He thought that this would block An Xiaonan's passing route, but he was still too naive.

Seeing An Xiaonan hooking the ball with his left hand towards his waist, James was taken aback. He had just guessed that An Xiaonan would pass the ball from behind to Gordon, but he was still too slow to steal the ball. One shot.The ball passed just before his fingertips, and landed precisely in Gordon's hands.

It's so dangerous... An Xiaonan was secretly surprised, and was almost robbed by James.

Gordon received the ball and faced the unguarded basket in front of him. He actually gave up his usual trapeze style and just picked the basket easily and threw the ball in.

90:87, the Magic lead by three points!

The reason why Gordon didn't dunk was to save energy.

James received the ball in the frontcourt, and he was not in a hurry to single An Xiaonan, but rolled his eyes, quickly looking for the position of his teammates.

Love suddenly ran from the corner to the bottom line. Gordon didn't expect Love to run without the ball. His pace slowed down by half a beat, and when he turned to catch up, he hit Thompson.

Love bypassed the off-ball screen and came to the three-point line on the other side. James had quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball directly.

Oops!An Xiaonan turned his head to look at Love, who received the ball and shot directly.

"Swipe!" The key three-pointer was hit, and the score was tied again.

"This game is really difficult." An Xiaonan glanced at the timer with only five minutes left, the intensity of tonight's game was something he had never experienced before.

The tactics failed again, which seemed to be a common occurrence for An Xiaonan on the field.In other words, the Cavaliers' system just restrained the magic and caused the tactical execution to fail.

In the last ten seconds, the ball came into An Xiaonan's hands again.

An Xiaonan summoned Vucevic's pick-and-roll, he would not choose to confront James head-on at this time, the time has not yet come.

But he still made a change.

When the dribble came to Vucevic's side, he suddenly pulled his legs and rushed in.James didn't expect that An Xiaonan would make his strongest first move at this moment, and he was caught off guard.

And Love, who followed Vucevic, didn't expect An Xiaonan's breakthrough to be so fast. As long as An Xiaonan surpassed half of his body, it would be a dream to catch up again.

An Xiaonan took advantage of the lack of acceleration before, making James and Love subconsciously think that An Xiaonan would continue the previous offensive mode.

So, the unexpected effect came out.

Vogel stood where he was, watching An Xiaonan suddenly change his speed to attack the inside line, and suddenly felt that this attack would end in a very shocking way.

An Xiaonan strode into the inside line, but the Cavaliers still had another line of defense, and that was Thompson.

Thompson knew what options An Xiaonan had for this attack, so he was ready to deal with it.

But An Xiaonan's next move was beyond his expectation.

An Xiaonan actually threw the ball directly at the backboard? !
There is no such way as Thompson's prepared blocking route.

The ball bounced off the backboard and spun wildly.Two big hands grabbed the ball in the air, and when the camera zoomed out, Gordon was already flying freely in the air.

"Aaron!" An Xiaonan exclaimed excitedly, this ball was a masterpiece of cooperation between him and Gordon.

Play board alley-oop!

With a roar, Gordon slammed the ball into the basket with all his strength.

This can boost morale, and even decide the direction of the game. There is no reason to save energy at all.

Only a dunk can make this attack a perfect end.

"Bang Dang!!" The basket screamed in pain, and Gordon fell to the ground, as if a mountain was on top of him. He and An Xiaonan once again destroyed the Cavaliers' defense.

"Beep——" Tyronn Lue cleverly called a timeout when the Magic was just getting started. James was not as discouraged as An Xiaonan imagined.

He is No.1 in the league, and he has experienced much more critical moments than me. How could he be depressed because of this dunk.

An Xiaonan thought to himself, gave Gordon a high-five to celebrate, and left the stage.

"Aaron, Ann, you two did a great job!" Augustine excitedly clapped hands with An Xiaonan and Gordon to celebrate.

At 92:90, there are five minutes and four seconds left before the end of the game.

An Xiaonan sat down and listened carefully to Vogel's tactical deployment. In the last few minutes, he would always attack around An Xiaonan.If it was An Xiaonan before the game, he would definitely be flattered, but the situation is different now. An Xiaonan is the only magic guard with the ability to fight one-on-one, and his success rate in one-on-one is definitely the highest.At this time, singled out is the best solution.

The auditorium was full of noise, An Xiaonan knew that they were all amazed at the cooperation between him and Gordon, and they were also panicking that such a pair appeared in Orlando City.

The game has not yet been decided, and it must not be taken lightly at this moment.

An Xiaonan believed in his intuition, James definitely did not show his full strength.

"Beep—" the timeout ended, and the two sides re-entered the field.

An Xiaonan and James came to each other at the same time, James said: "An, I admit that you are very talented."

"Thank you." An Xiaonan replied briefly.

"It's been a long time since I met a rookie who can excite me like this. What I want you to know is that the NBA is not that weak."

"How to say?"

"Be careful next." James reminded, and then went to the backcourt to receive the serve.

An Xiaonan frowned. With James' posture, is he going to show his full strength?
