The Way of the Center

Chapter 565: The Crossroads of History

"Over the years, teams that have won the Battle of Tianwangshan are more likely to advance. So today, I am very optimistic about the Trail Blazers completing two consecutive victories at the TT Center. Although I don't know that Popovich gave the Trail Blazers What problems are prepared, but overcoming and overcoming difficulties is also one of the characteristics of the Trail Blazers!" Sitting in the media commentary area, Yu Jia once again spread his voice to the ears of every fan in China.

From the beginning of the Western Conference semifinals to the on-site commentary in the United States, until An Jie played the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals, Yu Jia has witnessed An Jie accomplishing too many impossible things.

For example, the crushing eight-game winning streak to advance, such as the 11 blocks in a single game against Gasol broke the historical record. Yu Jia has witnessed the full record of An Jie's journey here, so he really doesn't want An Jie's efforts to end here.

Looking around, the narrators from countless countries are speaking their respective languages. The TV commentary desk is just a small part of it. But all these people from different countries and regions gathered here for the same purpose, to witness history!

Bill Wharton's commentary desk is behind the TV. Although he has retired for many years, he has seen countless teams rise and fall. But when the Trail Blazers stood at this historical fork, Bill Walton still found himself trembling uncontrollably.

The last time the Blazers reached the finals was in the 91-92 season, which was already a thing of the last century! If An Jie succeeds today, he will break the record that has been in the dust for nearly 20 years! 20 years! 20 years is enough time to turn a young and passionate Blazers fan into a middle-aged bloated uncle. When those 40- and 50-year-old Trail Blazers diehards saw their team re-enter the Finals, the shock they felt in their hearts was beyond the comprehension of others.

So today, not only Bill Wharton, but the whole of Portland and China are watching Anjie. This is indeed a historical fork in the road, and An Jie will have the opportunity to record his name in the annals of history again!

"Are you okay, Bill?" Bill Wharton's commentator partner couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw that he was shaking all the time. After all, Bill is not young anymore, and the nb arena is too stimulating for their hearts.

"I'm just... a little excited. Huh, they're about to enter." Bill Wharton put on his headphones, and the battle of history is about to start!

In the player tunnel, An Jie remembered the conversation he had with Duncan yesterday. The "Stone Buddha" wearing slippers and applying ice cubes will definitely not let himself relax today.

The Spurs will spare no effort, because they have no way out. In Ricard's words: If we don't fight now, we won't even have the chance to fight!

"Guys!" An Jie, who took the lead, yelled when the team was about to enter the field. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the leader standing at the front like a lighthouse.

"Everybody, p!" After An Jie finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed out of the player tunnel. In an instant, the Spurs fans on both sides of the player tunnel presented the insults they had prepared.

But the Trail Blazers were not intimidated by this situation, they still ran forward firmly, without fear. These guys all have firm expressions and step into the court with the determination to win!

"Tim! Let's fight!" Angie walked to the middle circle, crossed Split, and spoke directly to Duncan.

Duncan was expressionless and did not respond. He knew how to stare blankly ahead, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him. But An Jie knew that this kind of Duncan was the best Duncan!

The fans have all stood up and the commentator is ready. Players on both sides are running and jumping, ready to fight at any time.

"Are you ready?" The referee walked between An Jie and Splitter, and in his hand was holding the basketball that would determine everyone's fate.

"Huh." An Jie took a deep breath, his ears seemed to be much quieter, so quiet that he could hear Split's heartbeat.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and An Jie felt that everything in front of him became very slow. He leaped high and slid the ball into his own half with his fingertips. In an instant, the uproar of the fans, the passionate speeches of the commentators and the shouts of the players on the field all poured into An Jie's ears.

The game has begun, this game that can change history, has begun!

As soon as An Jie stepped into the three-point line, he found that Duncan had been inseparably attached to him. Based on the experience of so many previous duels, Popovich no longer expects Splitter to be able to limit Anjie. So today, he asked Duncan to confront An Jie as soon as he came up, even if it would put a huge physical burden on Duncan, he would not hesitate! If this game is lost, it doesn't make any sense for Duncan to still have physical strength.

Duncan's defense was indeed much fiercer than before. This guy already regarded himself as himself five or six years ago. An Jie leaned on Duncan, and Que realized that he could not stabilize his position at all.

There was no way, Anjie secretly signaled to Lillard that he could not catch the ball. Lillard then changed tactics and passed the ball to Iguodala.

Since being fully activated by Anjie, Iguodala's performance has been good.

Leonard tensed his nerves. Iguodala's strength is not in how strong his individual singles are. It's about the guy always creating opportunities for himself and his teammates.

Seeing that Anjie came up to pick and roll Iguodala, Leonard kept his eyes open and shifted his focus to the direction of the pick and roll.

Iguodala's eyes widened and he suddenly started. But unexpectedly, the Blazers No. 9 broke through to the side without the pick-and-roll!

"Fake pick-and-roll, Leonard reacted quickly, but he was still half a body behind Iguodala!"

Leonard didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to stick to Iguodala to make it difficult for him to move forward. Since the controversial whistleblowing scale in the second game has attracted the attention of the league, the whistle of the referees is now a lot fairer, but it is also a lot stricter. Leonard didn't dare to risk a foul to stop Iguodala, so Iguodala also stumbled to the edge of the three-second zone.

Seeing that Splitter hadn't had time to defend the basket, Iguodala decided to play one himself.

He suddenly held the ball and took three steps, preparing for a layup. At the same time, Leonard immediately took off, and in the air, these two strong players in the third position collided solidly!

"Although the physical confrontation is very fierce, I have to say that Leonard's defense this time is really clean!"

No foul! Iguodala was greatly resisted and could only barely release the ball.

The basketball bounced on the neck of the basket, Iguodala was very unwilling, and Leonard let out a sigh of relief. The Trail Blazers' first offense was successfully resolved by him!

Just as Leonard and Iguodala landed, a huge figure flashed past them.

"Stop him!" Duncan yelled all over, and Leonard realized that the person who just quickly cut to the basket was An Jie!

The basketball bounced out, and An Jie jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and pressed it into the frame!

Duncan wanted to jump up and stop the dunk, but now 36 years old and suffering from numerous injuries, Duncan couldn't fly again.

Anjie's quick dunk gave the Spurs fans in the TT Center a hard blow.

"This level is not acceptable, Tim." After An Jie landed, he patted Duncan's chest. The referee immediately became nervous. He thought there was a conflict between An Jie and Duncan. However, nothing happened.

Duncan just put on that poker face and silently picked up the basketball on the ground, and An Jie quickly retreated after patting Duncan.

It's a man vs. man showdown, the basketball way!

Then the Spurs' offense, Duncan is still doing everything he should do.

Off-ball pick-and-roll, space the floor, aggressively contain...  

This guy didn't lose his mind and mess around because of his secret battle with Angie. The most valuable thing about the Spurs and Duncan is that they will keep calm and play steadily no matter what the situation.

With a series of efforts by Duncan, Tony Parker was able to break into the penalty area without Anjie to complete the throw.

Aldridge also worked very hard, but only Anjie can do things like Parker throws.

2 to 2, Duncan did not hit the ball in response, but Parker's scoring and Duncan are also inseparable. Anjie must find a way to deal with Duncan in order to deal with the defense of the entire team.

"Active, active. Be more active in defense!" Popovich's roar appeared on the sidelines early, and he didn't want to see Anjie score easily with a supplementary dunk again.

Lillard was not humble this time. He pretended to command Iguodala to move and make the ball, but in fact Aldridge's pick-and-roll started to break through.

Although it's only a freshman, everyone in the Spurs knows that the best rookie is not an easy-going lamp.

Splitter has been forcibly overtaken by Lillard, only Danny Green quickly walked to the basket to prepare for defense.

At this moment, An Jie suddenly moved. Duncan didn't dare to slack off, if Angie was allowed to receive Lillard's point, it would be very dangerous!

Sure enough, Lillard didn't do it hard, but chose to pass the ball after taking off.

Duncan stretched out his long arms, intending to intercept the basketball. However, to Duncan's surprise, the basketball did not fly in the direction of An Jie, but was hit beyond the three-point line!

Wesley Matthews appeared in the corner, and there was a wide open space in front of him. Without hesitation, the guy immediately jumped up and shot. Looking at the smoothness of Matthews' shooting movements, Ricard knew that the three-pointer did not miss!

"Tree! Wesley Matthews!" The live DJ at the TT Center said without emotion. Players from the visiting team scored goals, and they couldn't shout too passionately.

But even that couldn't stop Rickard from pumping his fists. Duncan also understands now that Anjie's running just now was not to catch the ball, but to take himself away from the passing route.

This young guy sees the game very thoroughly, which is what Duncan admires most about Anjie. He is young, but mature!

But to the delight of the Spurs fans, after just one round, the Spurs tied the score again.

This was a singles match between Duncan and Angie in the low post after he got to the position. Seeing this scene, almost everyone raised their hearts to their throats.

Duncan tried his best to push towards the basket, and even An Jie was pushed back again and again.

To be able to become a living legend, Duncan is certainly not an ordinary person. Although this guy has kept a low profile a lot in recent years, don't forget that he is still one of the league's top stars!

Although Duncan was able to push forward, Anjie's tough defense left him no room to turn around and face the frame. Duncan wants to attack now, and there is only one option, a turnaround jumper.

Without too much hesitation, Duncan began to move his steps. But in Anjie's eyes, Duncan's current actions are the same as the previous Gasol Jr., without any confusion!

Seeing Duncan take off, An Jie jumped up too. But what Anjie didn't expect was that Duncan's turnaround jumper did not avoid the block, but rushed towards himself.

"Did you make a foul?" An Jie couldn't control his body anymore, he collided with Duncan suddenly, and the referee blew his whistle.

The most important thing is that the basketball Duncan threw with extremely deformed movements actually hit the board!

"Mr. Great Fundamental Skills! Even in the face of fierce confrontation, Tim's shooting will not be affected! The chance to hit a three-pointer, Duncan's experience, is incomparable to Ann in any case."

After the goal, Duncan and Parker clapped silently. An Jie shook his head. He didn't expect Duncan, an old fox, to make such a move.

After making the extra penalty, Duncan patted An Jie on the back when he retreated past An Jie. "How about this intensity, are you satisfied?"

The referee was nervous again, he even had the whistle in his mouth. But as before, nothing happened.

It is not difficult to see through a few rounds of offense and defense that today, whether it is Duncan or Angie, whether it is the Spurs or the Blazers. Their condition is very good.

Unlike the previous game where neither of the two sides could play with high efficiency, today, the two sides are destined to bring a real strong dialogue to the fans!

The Spurs and the Trail Blazers were tied 5-5, and Anjie and Duncan each scored a goal to tie the game.

The fork in history is always the most difficult part of the journey. If you want to win, Duncan and An Jie must fall one by one! Find this site and search for "Apex Novels 208xs", or please remember the URL of this site:
