The Way of the Center

Chapter 580: Unexpected factors and terrifying veterans

It is also the Rose Garden, and it is also the Trail Blazers and the Heat. Same fans, same commentary. But today, the situation in the second matchup of the finals is completely different from the previous one.

Now the game has reached the end of the third quarter, the score is 77 to 7o, and the Portland Trail Blazers are 7 points behind the Heat at home.

On the court, the Trail Blazers have not scored for some time. The defense of both sides was too fierce today, so neither of the two teams could play a smooth offense.

Anjie is now the only stable offensive point in the Trail Blazers, but his opponent today is neither Wade, who only made 3 of 10 shots, nor Bosh, whose offensive desire has been greatly reduced, nor is he even defended by Iguodala James, who has to strike frequently.

Today, the biggest obstacle for Anjie and the Trail Blazers is actually the Heat point guard Mario Chalmers who was dismissed as worthless by the media before.

The mop of the ncaa championship in 2008 played very proactively today. He is no longer a machine that controls the ball in half court, but a real point guard!

Before the start of this game, Ricard set up a special defensive strategy for many people in the Heat. But obviously, Chalmers is not one of them.

The contempt of Chalmers by people all over the world also made his explosion today possible.

At the beginning of the game, Chalmers caught the Blazers by surprise with consecutive breakthroughs.

Lillard, who was not well prepared, never expected that Chalmers would dare to break through directly, and Anjie, who guarded the basket, was more wary of Chalmers' pass.

However, mop's determination still gave him a good start, making two breakthrough layups in a row. For a guard, being able to do this under the basket guarded by An Jie is already considered very good.

Subsequently, Chalmers and the 33-year-old veteran Mike Miller who came off the bench completed several cooperations.

This seasoned and calm three-point shooter hits consecutively,

Let the Heat open the score in an instant. Everyone couldn't believe that when the Heat's Big Three played tepidly, they actually won the lead by relying on the role of Chalmers!

Ricard did not hesitate, and immediately made a change. But Chalmers, who has already played well, is still not well restricted.

Until the third quarter of the game, Chalmers is still the most dazzling figure in the Heat. Tens of seconds ago, he assisted Mike Miller to hit a three-pointer again. It also widened the point difference to 7 points in one fell swoop, but Anjie and Ricard didn't seem worried, because Chalmers' offensive efficiency had already dropped significantly!

After scoring two points on Bosh with another hook, An Jiexun directed his teammates to retreat. Now the biggest problem for the Blazers is not offense, but defense! Just one last point away, just one last point away from Chalmers, and the Blazers' defense will be done!

This time, the entanglement between Lillard and Chalmers continued from the middle circle. An Jie didn't underestimate the other party any more, thinking back to when he was in college, Chalmers led the team to defeat the Cyclones in this way!

Unlike usual, Chalmers didn't panic when faced with close pressing after playing his form. He still bravely handles the ball by himself in the face of bumps and bumps, and gestures for Bosh to come out and set himself a pick-and-roll.

Anjie hesitated, so he asked Aldridge to follow Bosh out. Anjie can't leave the penalty area too far now, otherwise Chalmers will definitely seize the opportunity to score again successfully!

Breakthrough, another sharp breakthrough. Chalmers retreated under Lillard's close pressure. Faced with Anjie's defense, the bold Chalmers did not lose weight, but forced a layup against Anjie's defense!

In order to avoid fouls, An Jie didn't make too many defensive moves. He held up his hands and let Chalmers lean on him.

However, Chalmers not only scored the ball unbelievably, but after Anjie heard this, the referee blew the whistle hanging on his chest.

"Oh, don't be joking!" Anjie immediately turned around and questioned, because this is already the second time that Chalmers scored three points on himself in this game!

And this attack is also the epitome of the game so far. Mario Chalmers, the "supporting actor" today's performance is even better than the performance of the Big Three of the Heat.

He was always able to hit some unbelievable goals. When Wade was oppressed by Anjie's deterrence, Chalmers turned decay into magic.

Relying on Anjie's offense, the Trail Blazers managed to recover from the decline before the end of the third quarter and scored a point.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ray Allen and Chalmers' consecutive three-pointers made the Heat instantly hit a 9-0 offensive climax. Allen still continued his good touch in the first game, and his performance has indeed become an unexpected factor in the finals.

"I bet, if Spoelstra is willing to give Ray Allen more shots, he can play at the level of the Big Three!" Kenny Smith even used this sentence to praise Ray Allen for his outstanding performance. Allen.

After playing for a few minutes with no results, Ricard called a timeout angrily. But this timeout did not completely cure the Blazers, it just played a temporary hemostasis...

Back from the timeout, James blocked Aldridge's dunk head-on. The Heat made a quick break, and Ray Allen chased for a three-pointer and made another hit!

At this time, the morale of the Trail Blazers was about to be extinguished by Ray Allen. But the blow was more than that. Later, Anjie made a rare mistake and was taken away by James who took advantage of the void. After that, James pushed forward dunks one-stop, and the score was opened again.

Rickard just shook his head helplessly, all the arrangements he could make have been done today. What about Anjie? As a leader, he also fought to the end. It's a pity that the Heat played really well today, and now they have firmly grasped the rhythm of the game. Although he didn't want to give up, Ricard still felt... There is no need to waste the energy of the main players now.

Garbage time came when there were 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The Trail Blazers replaced all the main players, and the Heat's lead at this moment was as high as 20 points...

Ricard saw that An Jie had been gnashing his teeth and clenching his fists after he left the field. No way, how can a person like An Jie endure to accept failure silently?

"We haven't lost yet, save your strength for the next game." Ricard patted An Jie on the shoulder and said nothing more.

1o3 to 84, in the end, the Heat completely defeated the Blazers by 19 points in the away game. This is also the Blazers' biggest loss in the playoffs this season.

Chalmers, who was originally unpopular, was surrounded by the Heat's Big Three at the moment. Chalmers completed his own redemption, but also let the Heat successfully took away a victory in Portland.

Although James is strong in the final quarter, his 17 points and 8 rebounds on 7 of 17 shots in the whole game are obviously not in line with his status as the number one player in the league. Even Iguodala, who doesn't have a strong desire to attack, scored 17 points today.

And what about Wade? The audience only scored 10 points on 5 of 13 shots. On the court, Wade's sense of presence is even lower than that of Chalmers.

Bosh's hit rate is good, but under Anjie's tough defense, "Dragon King" did not get too many shots. With 12 points, his statistics are not much better than Wade's.

In contrast to the Blazers, Anjie scored 27 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. Although there are a small number of 2 mistakes, it is not unreasonable. It stands to reason that through such a data comparison, the Trail Blazers should be sure to win.

However, Chalmers' extremely abnormal 19 points and 11 assists and the outstanding performance of Ray Allen, Mike Miller and other shooters made the Blazers have to accept the fate of failure.

In addition, except for Anjie and Iguodala, the performance of the Trail Blazers is also terrible. The combination of these factors made this tragic ending a reality.

At the scene, the atmosphere in the rose garden was dead. This season, under the leadership of An Jie, Rose Garden has never experienced such a humiliating moment.

As far away as Miami, Heat fans were ecstatic. The Heat's massacre-like victory gave them a good start to their three consecutive home battles.

"This game has dealt a big blow to the morale of the Trail Blazers." Anthony Ben couldn't believe the score on the big screen. The Heat won the game when the Heat's Big Three played so poorly. normal.

"I don't think so." Mike Taylor smiled all over his face, because he saw that under the influence of Anjie, every player of the Trail Blazers strode into the player channel with great strides!

"Don't be discouraged guys! They took a victory in the Rose Garden, and the next game, we're going to make a fuss in Miami!" Anjie shouted at the front of the team, arousing the eagerness of revenge from the Blazers players .

As An Jie's big brother and captain back then, Mike Taylor knew An Jie's character very well.

This guy will not be easily knocked down by a defeat in a game, just like An Jie was tortured to death by Morris and Asakin in training. become stronger and stronger.

Especially such a huge failure can arouse An Jie's determination to counterattack. He can't accept such humiliation, so he will use the way of victory to fill up this humiliation!

If it was defeated by the Heat's Big Three, Anjie might not be so unwilling.

But Chalmers? Come on, Anjie already lost to Chalmers once in college. Now, he's not going to fall twice on the same guy!

"Anything that doesn't kill me will make me stronger!" This sentence that the rebellious aI believed in back then also applies to An Jie.

Chalmers made a mistake. With his excellent performance, he awakened the bestiality of a beast.
