The Way of the Center

Chapter 841 : Opening climax

The beautiful cooperation between Anjie and Iguodala made the fans of Moda Center finally exasperated. In the past few days, the world has been against the Trailblazers, but the Trailblazers have been slow to show up.

Unexpectedly, this appearance gave the Cavaliers a big surprise. Anjie told everyone with his practical actions that even without Lillard and George by his side, choosing to double-team himself is not an effective choice. And Iguodala used that wonderful tomahawk-style cleavage to shout at everyone: “I’m not old yet!”

“Whether it was Ann’s pass or Iguodala’s final dunk, this offense was completed very well. We can see that Ann can complete the assist almost in an instant. The Blazers’ tactics are very subtle, the Cavaliers If you want to completely contain the Blazers’ offense, you can’t just look at death alone.” Although Jeff Van Gundy praised the Blazers’ tactics, most people simply didn’t take the ball just now.

In a basketball game, no matter how great the difference between the strengths of the two sides is, it is impossible to restrict one side from not scoring a goal. The game has just begun, and it is understandable that the Trail Blazers scored a goal energeticly. But the important thing is that under the next fierce suppression of the Cavaliers, they can still maintain such a performance.

Isaiah Thomas, who used to know Anjie in the Drew League, is now wearing the Cavaliers jersey, controlling the ball.

An Jie did not expect that this kid, who is less than 1.8 meters tall, could really gain a foothold in the NBA and become a star-level player.

In the face of Napier’s defense, Thomas is not timid. Even though he is only 1.75 meters tall, this guy’s body is very strong.

Napier tried to block Thomas’ path several times, but was forced away by this stout guy. Unknowingly, Thomas Jr. has steadily dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, while Shabaz Napier, who is on the defensive side, is breathing heavily.

Thomas was not anxious to attack, but observed the running of his teammates. Compared with the Trail Blazers, the Cavaliers have more offensive points on the court and are more comprehensive.

The crossover between Wade and James made the Trail Blazers fans sweat. Fortunately, the switch between Iguodala and Evan Turner is very tacit. They didn’t give James and Wade any space. In these situations, they had practiced countless times as early as the closed training.

Although he did not run out of the open space, but seeing his defender changed from Iguodala to Evan Turner, James confidently raised his hand to Thomas.

Turner, as a swingman in the second and third positions, his slightly thin body looks a full size smaller than James.

It turns out that Turner is more than just “looking” one size smaller than James. The power gap between the two is as huge as it seems.

After James changed hands and changed directions, he directly broke through. Turner effortlessly judged the direction of James’ breakthrough. However, when he came into contact with James, he knew that even if he judged the right direction, it would be difficult to stop James. Advance.

James’ strong body and great strength made Turner retreat steadily. The Cavaliers’ No. 23 almost completed the breakthrough in a crushing way, easily breaking into the inside.

At this point, An Jie has been pulled to the bottom corner of the three-point line by Love. And Morris, Morris is entangled with Tristan Thompson. It seems that as long as James can suppress Turner and complete the layup, the Cavaliers will have a two-pointer!

Without thinking about it, James glanced outside the three-point line, and after confirming that An Jie hadn’t come back to make up the defense, he immediately took off, as if Turner was like a cloud of air.

Turner wanted to stop James, but he was so squeezed by James that he couldn’t get up. James straightened his arm, and Turner’s obstruction didn’t hurt him at all. As long as you can put the basketball in the box, this offense will be done!

“Ah! Bastard!” Just as James had just let go of the ball, a loud roar came into James’ ears.

James was so frightened that he quickly glanced outside the three-point line, An Jie was still there! ? Could it be…

“Pop!” The basketball was slammed by a big hand, and in the next second, James was knocked to the ground by a huge force.

Morris did not stay after landing, but flew directly. He rushed to the auditorium without fear, stretched out his hand, and was stunned to save the basketball that he fanned back into the court!

An Jie caught the basketball before everyone else, and then launched a long pass from the backcourt. Iguodala had already rushed towards the frontcourt, and Anjie’s precise long pass gave Iguodala a chance to face an empty basket.

Iguodala did not live up to the efforts of Morris and Anjie. He dunks vigorously with both hands, once again raging at the basket, and once again made fans all over the world make the commentators exclaim!

Seeing that Iguodala had successfully scored the ball, Anjie immediately turned around and “fished” Morris from the audience.

“Defend well!” An Jie patted Morris **** the chest. Perhaps James would not have thought that he would have fallen under Morris in such embarrassment. Otherwise, how could An Jie go out with Love at ease?

“Fuck! Make you look down on the Trailblazers!” Morris himself yelled because of extreme excitement. He didn’t look like someone who had just fallen into the crowd just now.

“This defensive counterattack is great! LeBron may have forgotten, Andrew Morris, he is also a beast that can not be ignored! Although Ann is not in the penalty zone for the time being, his good brother will definitely help him Look at the penalty area!” Mike Brin did not expect that Morris would make such a brave defense, fanning James all the ball with the ball. This seems to be something that only An Jie can do. But now, the Trail Blazers have a second guy who can do this.

Ricard saw the players’ performance on the court and couldn’t help but smile. Offensively, the Blazers’ firepower will indeed be greatly reduced by the absence of Lillard and Paul George. But on the defensive end, especially the penalty zone defense. If the Cavaliers want to try, they can come and try!

In these days of closed training, Ricard is not just practicing offense. Regarding the defensive strategy of James and others, Ricard has also made corresponding arrangements. The offense is not enough, the defense will make up. We can’t score, you LeBron James, don’t even think about scoring easily!

“It was a foul, sir.” James got up from the ground and rubbed his aching knee. He didn’t expect that Morris’s defense would be so fierce, even more fierce than Anjie.

James did not yell at the referee, but complained to the referee in a joking tone. But in fact, this guy’s heart is already raging!

Morris doesn’t care so much, as long as he can prevent the opponent from scoring, it is an excellent defense for him. Whether you have been violated, the referee has the final say.

In the opening game, the Trail Blazers beat the Cavaliers 4-0 with an extremely brilliant performance. Moreover, neither of these two **** came from Anjie. People say that after losing Lillard and George, Anjie will be the only offensive point for the Trail Blazers. But looking at it now, this sentence is simply nonsense.

For the Cavaliers’ second offense, relying on Thomas’s beautiful emergency stop jumper, the James Army finally broke the embarrassment of not being able to score.

However, everyone in the Cavaliers hasn’t been happy for long. A three-pointer by Evan Turner extinguished the fighting spirit they had just gasped.

It was still Iguodala holding the ball, and it was still Anjie who asked for the ball behind the free throw line. Unlike the past, Anjie did not hold the ball by himself, but used a very fast pass to transfer the basketball to the outside line.

It also took Anjie less than a second from receiving the ball to passing the ball. Everyone was surprised how this guy judged his teammates’ moves in such a short period of time.

In fact, An Jie was naturally unable to react with the naked eye. But in his mind, this guy knew Turner’s position well. The crazy training of those few days has made An Jie the brain of this perfect machine.

Because Iguodala had two extremely morale-up dunks at the beginning, Turner was also confident at the moment. Although Dwyane Wade was rushing toward him fiercely, Turner didn’t have the slightest timidity and shot directly! An Jie passed a good ball for himself, and Turner said nothing to let An Jie down!

Hands up, the knife falls. Before George was injured, he could only play as a substitute, and has gradually faded out of people’s attention in the 10th year of the draft. With a deadly three-pointer, everyone remembered his name again!

“Evan Turner! A beautiful three-pointer! His shot was very steady, and he didn’t rush to face Wade’s pursuit!”

Anxious to tie the score, Wade was ready to use a layup after breaking through Turner. Even if he couldn’t score a goal, he still hoped to make Morris a foul.

However, Wade did not expect that Morris, who has a violent personality, is very delicate in defense. This guy’s clean cover, leaving Wade empty. No points, no fouls. Yes, it’s just another blocked data from Morris.

This time, the Cavaliers returned to defense very quickly. Without the two sharp knives of George and Lillard, the Blazers’ conversion offense will definitely not reach the previous level.

Reluctantly, Iguodala had to slow down and play a positional battle with the Cavaliers.

An Jie did not continue to mention the high position this time, but pressed Love and raised his hand at the edge of the three-second zone for the ball.

Love tried his best to push forward, hoping to push his rival away from the basket. However, like all the confrontations between the two before, An Jie was not moved by Love’s push.

Iguodala slung skillfully, and An Jie’s big hand was like a sucker, steadily “sucking” the ball.

Everyone in the Cavaliers tensed their nerves. No one of them dared to double-team. It was difficult enough just to keep up with his matchup and make An Jie unable to pass the ball.

Everyone was wondering whether An Jie’s goal of passing the ball this time would be his match-up. At this suffocating eye, An Jie suddenly retreated and turned to face the frame, and then he jumped directly!

Love did not expect An Jie to attack suddenly. After all, he has passed the ball three times in a row, and he has a high probability of passing the ball.

But Anjie didn’t have He was the first person in this league. When he wants to score, few people can stop him! What’s more, because of hesitation, Love’s defense was still half a beat slow.

An Jie’s iconic back turned and withdrew a jumper, and the basketball went into the net without any suspense. How rich can a center’s offensive methods be? Anjie gave the world an answer.

This goal also made the score on the court 9-2. The difference from expectation is that the leader is not the star-studded Cavaliers, but the Portland Trail Blazers with a broken lineup!

Tyron Lu immediately called a timeout, and this timeout came earlier than everyone thought. Ricard was excited to give high fives to the next players, because their performance was so satisfying.

Looking at Tyron Lue’s panicked eyes, the Blazers’ performance must have completely exceeded this guy’s expectations.

Don’t panic, buddy. The changes in the Trail Blazers only revealed a corner…

The finals will never be as simple as the outside world thinks.
