The Way of the Center

Chapter 560: Lethal Weapon

Popovich frowned. The shouting of the fans made the old man have to roar to ensure that the players could hear his voice.

"We need to play more aggressively! Don't limit yourself to the three-point line, we are not a team that lives on the three-point shot! Find more ways to score, don't waste opportunities outside the three-point line !” Popovich has been frightened by Iguodala’s defense, he doesn’t know what Ricard said to Iguodala during the intermission, but now this Iguodala, and the previous The role player version of Iguodala is completely different!

"Good job Andre, I'm going to let Ann off the court to rest for a few minutes later. I need you to maintain this momentum and help the team safely through the rest of the third quarter!" Ricard naturally said to Igor Dara's performance is very satisfactory. This guy is not incapable, but lacks a factor that can motivate him. Now, the team's plight and Anjie's efforts finally allowed Iguodala to be successfully activated.

"Don't worry boss, cheer up everyone! The Spurs' lead is only one point, we want to let those complacent guys know whose home is the Rose Garden!" Iguodala shouted in the crowd , When the exhausted Anjie was resting, Iguodala even acted as the leader.

Ricard is very pleased, only when everyone in the Trail Blazers can play their role, this Trail Blazers is the real championship team!

After returning from the timeout, Popovich replaced Parker and Duncan, and Ricard replaced Anjie and Matthews. The coaches of both sides have made adjustments in the lineup, and there will definitely be more substitutes gradually.

Iguodala is still active after playing. Now without the old monster Duncan guarding the inside, Iguodala can boldly attack the inside.

After defusing Ginobili's shot again, Lillard advanced with the ball, and Iguodala immediately caught the ball from the left side of the baseline to the right.

Lillard, who was more experienced than any other rookie, knew it, passing the ball quickly and sending the ball to Iguodala when he ran to the position. At the same time, Leonard, who has been sticking to Iguodala, immediately made preparations to interfere with the shot.

Iguodala looked up at the frame and raised his right hand slightly, intending to shoot!

The sensitive Leonard quickened his pace, shifted his center of gravity forward, and jumped towards Iguodala's position. Just when Leonard's feet had just left the ground, Iguodala smiled ghostly and passed by the young Spurs.

"Beautiful fake shots! Leonard is very sensitive to the opponent's shooting movements, but today, his advantage made him suffer a lot!"

After Iguodala broke through, neither Splitter nor Diaw, who came off the bench, could not return to the defense in time. Popovich has changed several inside combinations today, but no matter how they are matched, they cannot achieve a good frame protection effect.

Facing the empty basket, Iguodala rose directly from the ground, exerting force on his waist in the air to turn his body. When Iguodala faced the basket with his back, he clasped his hands, and the Rose Garden shook instantly.

"What a wonderful goal! The back button after the breakthrough, my God, can you imagine this kind of ball appeared in the Western Conference Finals!?" Kenny Smith hugged his head, Iguodala, pioneering No. 9, a man who doesn't know what he did just by looking at the regular season statistics. But it was this guy who pulled the Blazers out of the abyss today!

Go ahead by one point! The Spurs' 13-point advantage has been filled by the Blazers. Popovich smashed another tactical board on the bench, and even the referee on duty reminded the white-haired old man to control his emotions.

The morale of the Spurs was low, but the Blazers became more and more courageous. Fortunately, the Frenchman Tony Parker stepped forward at this time. The guard who took the passing as his own responsibility suddenly began to attack the frame violently, which caught the Blazers by surprise. He hit consecutive shots, and finally made the Spurs survive until the moment Iguodala was off the court.

When Iguodala was off the court,

Like Anjie, he has won the worship of all fans. But Iguodala didn't say anything, the game is not over yet, and it won't be too late to enjoy these worships when he wins.

In the final three minutes of the third quarter, the Blazers and Spurs' bench players played the rest of the game. Matt Bonner's scoring from beyond the arc caused a lot of trouble for the Blazers, but Fisher's passing also allowed Batum and Courtney Lee to score frequently.

75 to 79, after the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers, who were originally 13 points behind, entered the fourth quarter with a 4-point advantage. After three rounds of fierce fighting, although the two sides have their own advantages, they are still inseparable overall. The final decisive battle is an opportunity for both sides to fight to the death.

"Diversity in offense, aggressiveness in defense. There is nothing to say. The Spurs are already at stake, and those old men have only half their lives left. Go to the court and use our vitality to completely wear down the Spurs!"

"Steady the rhythm, keep the rhythm! I have said countless times, playing on the basketball court, the rhythm is very important! Let's not be impatient, 4 points behind is nothing. Play slowly against the Blazers, be cautious, don't make mistakes, hit rate."

The coaches of both sides are hurrying to arrange the last thing, and the players of both sides are already gearing up. If nothing else, another 12 minutes, the winner will be born. In the last 12 minutes, everyone hopes that they can grasp it!

Just when players from both sides were on the field one by one, people were shocked to find that Duncan and Anjie were still sitting on the bench. Rickard and Popovich were also surprised. Could it be that these two guys thought of going together again?

Send out all the main players, but keep the last trump card. Until the last moment, send the energetic ace to the field to crush the opponent in one fell swoop. This line of thinking was obviously born in the minds of Popovich and Ricard at the same time.

Sure enough, no matter how the game is played. At the last moment, it depends on An Jie and Duncan!

"Andre Iguodala changed directions continuously, he plunged into the crowd, good shot! Andre got the chance to hit a three-pointer!"

"Danny Green made a three-pointer! God, the basket is as wide as the sea in Green's eyes today."

"LaMarcus Aldridge's iconic turnaround jumper is easy. Neither Diaw nor Blair can threaten Aldridge."

"Kawhi Leonard! Dunk! Poor Meyers Leonard, although these two have the same surname, their strengths are vastly different!"

The climax of the game was wave after wave, and the fans in the Rose Garden sometimes cheered and sometimes wailed. Neither the Spurs nor the Trail Blazers could solve the other, and the scores rose alternately. After playing for a long time, the gap was still only 3 points.

"Lethal weapons. Both the Trail Blazers and the Spurs need a real lethal weapon. We saw that Ann and Duncan still didn't play. Maybe these two guys are the coaches' lethal weapons." As soon as Bill Walton finished speaking, Anjie said He took off his training clothes and sat in front of the technical stage. The fans suddenly shouted, and Anjie had already had high hopes from the fans before he played.

Iguodala's offense was finally blocked by the tough Leonard, although it cost Leonard a foul.

When the ball was dead, An Jie stood up immediately, and he jumped twice, ready to take over the game!

"Thank you, brother." An Jie high-fived Meyers Leonard, who was off the court. Everyone was waiting for him on the court. Only Anjie can lead the team to victory!

"Let's finish this vote, guys!" An Jie roared and stood in his place. The Trail Blazers sent out a sideline kick, and their final onslaught officially began!

"You're ready to play too, Tim." Popovich yelled unhurriedly, and Duncan stood up expressionlessly and walked to the technical stage.

At the same time, Anjie passed the ball calmly under the double team, allowing Aldridge to score a chance. The Blazers added two more points, and Popovich couldn't wait for the natural dead ball. He called a timeout, and this timeout also means that the game has entered the final stage.

"At the last moment, the focus is still on Ann and Duncan! Let's see if Ann, who was defended by Duncan enough in the second quarter, can take on the heavy responsibility!" Bill Walton took a sip of water, this is his Explain the game to drink water for the first time. The fierce competition made him dizzy, and he even forgot to drink water.

Duncan and Anjie, these two giants looked at each other. One is a cutting-edge vp, and the other is a vp ten years ago. One is four championships, and the other is the favorite to win this season.

"Hey, the fun is about to start." On the field, An Jie suddenly hooked his fingers at Duncan. All the commentators shouted crazily, God knows how the game will be turned into by these two big guys in the last few minutes!

Duncan made a high pick-and-roll, and Anjie stuck to him. Parker tried his best to break through, but was tightly blocked by Lillard.

Helpless, Parker had to return the ball to Duncan.

Duncan saw that Anjie was a few steps away from him, so he broke through immediately, carried Anjie on his shoulders and walked into the penalty area, intending to layup directly!

The experienced Duncan put Anjie on the left side of his body, and then used his right hand to layup.

Duncan, who played high and high, used this trick time and again. An Jie was indeed made very uncomfortable by Duncan, but his eyes never moved away from the basketball.

Duncan took off, and at the same time raised his right hand high, intending to put the ball in the basket. An Jie also jumped up, but he was separated by Duncan, and it was difficult to touch the basketball.

An Jie continued to increase his strength and swung his long arms. Just when Duncan was about to release the ball, An Jie slapped the basketball away from Duncan's hands with a slap in the face!

Iguodala immediately picked up the basketball and launched a counterattack. He passed the ball to Lillard with a long pass. Lillard leaned on Parker's body and forced a layup. Although the basketball missed, he won a free throw for himself.

In the first duel between An Jie and Duncan, An Jie won!

In the second round, Duncan didn't hold the ball anymore, he just took Anjie out of the penalty area as much as possible.

But Anjie was not fooled. When Duncan was too far away from the penalty area, Aldridge would consciously switch defenses. As for Splitter, if the guy wants to shoot, let him shoot.

In this way, from the beginning to the end, An Jie will not leave the vicinity of the restricted area. With a super rim protector guarding the basket, the Spurs' offense naturally encountered many difficulties. After all, even Duncan couldn't escape the fate of being taken by Anjie. Who in the Spurs would dare to go head-to-head with Anjie?

This attack finally came to an end in Parker's forging. After the Trail Blazers played, Anjie had a deep position.

He will not continue to fight Duncan in the middle distance. After all, Duncan's defense against himself in the middle distance is indeed very effective.

But that's not the case when Angie falls deep down low. In the low post, Anjie has countless ways to score goals. No matter how good Duncan is, he cannot stop all of Anjie's attacks.

The offensive and defensive play between the two big guys was very good, but Popovich couldn't laugh. Because obviously, Duncan and the Spurs have fallen into a disadvantage!

The VP of ten years ago may still be one of the best insiders in this league, but when he has to face a big man who is younger than himself but equally good as himself, Duncan is a little powerless.

Anjie completely dominated the scoring in the last few minutes, and his offense in the low post was unmatched. Even if this person is the legendary Duncan.

In this level of competition, the key to determining the outcome is often the few attacks at the last moment. Anjie finally used 2 goals and 2 assists to make the Blazers score continue to rise, but Leonard, who was exhausted by Iguodala, did not complete his own part.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the difference between the two sides was still not very big. But the Spurs have been unable to catch up with this within reach.

In the last 26 seconds of the game, Anjie passed Duncan with a dream dance and succeeded in picking the basket. At this time, the point difference between the two sides became 8 points, and the time left for the Spurs was only 24 seconds.

Popovich began to play foul tactics, but everyone knew that this was just the Spurs lingering.

Ricard suddenly slumped on the bench, and the man's nerves were tense for almost the entire game. Now, his whole body is loose. It's a great feeling to watch your team survive to the end

Duncan walked off the court with his head down, and Popovich had replaced him. And this substitution is also a signal for the Spurs to officially abandon the game.

An Jie suddenly supported Aldridge. This 2.19-meter guy was so tired that he could hardly stand up.

But fortunately, the first matchup in the Western Conference Finals. An Jie, Duncan has won again. Find this site and search for "Apex Novels 208xs", or please remember this site's URL:
