The Way of the Center

Chapter 582: Occupy Miami (1)

An Jie and Catherine finally met at the door of the visiting team locker room at the American Airlines Center. Due to busy training, Anjie couldn't be with Catherine during the two days without games. But now, the Trail Blazers officially gave Catherine the green light.

She has privileges that allow her to freely shuttle in the player tunnel, so this little girl, as promised, appeared at the door of the Trail Blazers locker room.

After meeting, the two young people didn't say anything, but hugged each other tightly first.

This season, during An Jie's finger injury, Catherine has been by An Jie's side to take care of him, and the two also gained a rare experience of living together.

This experience not only allowed An Jie's mood and injury to develop benignly, but also allowed the two people who rarely saw each other to build a deeper relationship.

They all hope that this beautiful life can last a lifetime. Catherine will always be by An Jie's side, and An Jie will always be with Catherine.

"Fool, why cry? I haven't won the championship yet. When I win the O'Brien Cup, it won't be too late for you to cry for me." An Jie held Catherine's face in his hands, and Catherine's two lines of tears It couldn't stop and started dripping down.

There is a long period of time between each meeting, which is not a test that all couples can withstand. The joy and excitement when seeing An Jie again made Catherine suddenly unable to control her emotions.

"Ann." At this moment, Divac poked his head out of the locker room door. He was very reluctant to disturb the reunion of the two young lovers, but now, Ricard was about to make the final arrangement.

An Jie pointed a finger at Divac: "Give me another minute."

Catherine was still nestled in An Jie's arms. The girl knew that although she and An Jie were in the same city in the next few days, there might not be many opportunities for them to get close contact. Catherine was unwilling to give up any second of her intimate time with An Jie, and she had to hurry up at the last minute.

"don’t worry,

Catherine. Five more games at most, maybe less than five, and it's over. When this is over, no matter what the outcome is, I will be by your side. "

"install."

"Huh?" Before An Jie could finish answering, Catherine hung An Jie's neck and stood on tiptoe, and her peach-like red lips immediately came together.

No reporters, no players. In this empty player tunnel, at the door of the visiting team's locker room, the two embraced and kissed deeply. At this moment, the release of longing is worth a thousand words.

When Anjie finally opened the door and walked into the locker room, his teammates and coaches clearly noticed. This kid's eyes have changed from caring and loving to murderous!

The championship, even if it is to propose to Catherine earlier, An Jie must win this year's championship!

"Okay, now throw out all the non-basketball-related things in your mind. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" Ricard picked up the marker pen from the table, and the battle for the American Airlines Center began. !

※※※

White, when An Jie came out of the player tunnel and stepped onto the court, he could only see a piece of white in his eyes.

Unlike the collars issued by the Trail Blazers, Pat Riley directly spent a lot of money and put a white short-sleeved Heat team on the back of each seat. Every Heat fan who came here to watch the game consciously put it on, and the white flame of terror at home was formed.

Of course, An Jie also saw a few fans wearing Trail Blazers jerseys, but their figures would soon be engulfed by the white flames.

Hearing the cheers on the scene suddenly increased several times, An Jie looked towards the other player tunnel. Sure enough, James led the Heat and walked out of the court!

"Today, the finals finally came to Miami. In the last game, the Heat slaughtered the Trail Blazers with a huge advantage of 19 points. Let's see today, can Anjie lead the team to revenge?"

"Mario Chalmers' performance is crucial to the Heat. He played well in the last game, not only scoring himself, but also activating three-point shooters like Ray Allen and Mike Miller. So today, whether mop can maintain his good state in 2008 will be the key."

"A few days ago, Director Zhang and I came to the American Airlines Center several times and planned to interview An Jie. But the answers we got were, sorry, the Trail Blazers are conducting closed training and do not accept any form of interview. Although It’s a pity that we couldn’t interview Anjie, but the Trail Blazers’ tireless special training for two consecutive days also makes us look forward to the performance of the Blazers today.”

In the commentary area, commentators from various TV stations and media have already started warming up for the game.

At the same time, Anjie has also won the basketball for the Trail Blazers under the boos of the fans.

The Trail Blazers' offense or the liberation of the Big Three? All questions will be revealed in the next 48 minutes.

When Chalmers faced Lillard today, his eyes became very different. In the first game of the finals, Chalmers' eyes were full of anxiety and fear. But now, watching Lillard slowly gain control of the ball, Chalmers' eyes are full of confidence!

After all, he scored a double-double in the finals and led the team to victory. After showing such a performance, which player would not have confidence in himself?

But as it turns out, Chalmers' confidence appears to be a little too high

Both Anjie and Aldridge wandered between the mid-range and the three-second zone, which greatly constrained the Heat's defense.

Lillard didn't want to pick and roll, but suddenly accelerated a continuous change of direction, and just passed the unprepared Chalmers so easily!

"Damien's first step is so fast, Chalmers can't catch up!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

"What is this kid going to do!?" Spoelstra roared dissatisfied off the court. Chalmers' defense just now can be described as a disaster!

In fact, the gap between Chalmers and Lillard is still quite large. He was able to cause trouble for Lillard in the first two games, more because of his professional attitude and determination not to give up.

But when Chalmers lost even those, he couldn't put any pressure on Lillard.

Lillard broke through and began to observe the running positions of his teammates. James quietly leaned in the direction of Anjie, waiting for an opportunity to steal. Through video and research, it is clear that Lillard will pass the ball to Angie 80% of the time!

Lillard suddenly started and passed the ball. Sure enough, the basketball is flying in the direction where James is!

Just as James was about to move across to intercept the ball, Iguodala suddenly appeared between the basketball and James!

"What!?" James didn't expect Iguodala to take advantage of this opportunity to suddenly cut inside. Just now, he was clearly still waiting outside the three-point line, why did he suddenly come out! ?

Iguodala, who cut inside, didn't waste the gift James gave him. Under the positions of Anjie and Aldridge, neither Bosh nor Haslem could make up the defense quickly.

And the energetic Iguodala kicked off the game with a 180° turn and buckle in the air.

"There is no better opening than this!" Bill Walton didn't care about the disgusted eyes of the Heat fans, shouting and cheering for Iguodala's goal.

For a while, the American Airlines Center booed everywhere. But Iguodala put his palm to his ear and signaled the fans to be louder.

For the Blazers' first goal, the Heat didn't care too much. James was just careless, and they haven't noticed the changes in the Blazers' offensive end.

In exchange for the Heat's offense, from the moment the baseline ball was sent, the cheers of the Heat fans have never stopped.

Chalmers had just been easily broken by Lillard, which naturally made the 2008 MOP very upset. He hoped that he could continue his good form from the last game and teach the first-year rookie in front of him a good lesson.

"Mario!" James went out of the baseline and raised his hands for the ball. He planned to launch an attack by himself.

Chalmers glanced at James, but his next move surprised everyone including Wade.

During this period, Chalmers beckoned for a pick-and-roll, ignored James' request, and went into the penalty area by himself!

James is a person who pays attention to the atmosphere in the team, so he does not intend to blame Chalmers for this. But sure, Chalmers has left a bad impression on James by now.

Although Lillard was slightly delayed by Bosh's pick-and-roll, his super-fast foot movement still allowed him to stay close to Chalmers.

The reason why Chalmers was able to kill the Quartet in the last game was that apart from his own explosion, Ricard's contempt for him was also one of the reasons.

But today, Ricard developed a defensive strategy specifically for Chalmers. When Chalmers breakthrough, the Trail Blazers lineup will not shrink quickly. If the formation is not cleaned up, Chalmers will not be able to distribute the ball, and if he cannot distribute the ball, he will naturally be unable to disrupt the Blazers' defense.

Helpless, Chalmers can only take off for a layup under Lillard's interference. James shook his head and began to retreat. Sure enough, in the next second, Anjie leaped high and slapped Chalmers' layup out of the penalty area cleanly.

Under Lillard's personal delay, it was a breeze for Anjie to make up defense and return to the penalty area to complete the block. The enthusiasm of the Heat fans just now was extinguished by Anjie's block in one fell swoop.

After Anjie finished blocking the block, he immediately pushed forward with all his strength, and the entire Trail Blazers ran.

Spoelstra has a big mouth, what is this for? The Blazers with the center as the core plan to push the pace? Is Ricard planning to exhaust Anjie to death?

Everyone thought that the Blazers would play their positions as usual, even James thought so.

So when he was leisurely organizing his teammates to stand up, he suddenly found that the Blazers were approaching the city!

Lillard took advantage of the chaos to enter the penalty area, and the Heat's defense became even more chaotic. The three shrunk to the basket to stop Lillard, but Lillard jumped up and turned into a pass, allowing Wesley Matthews to get an open three-pointer in the bottom corner.

As the only starting shooter in Ricard's system, Matthews will never miss this easy scoring opportunity.

He shot lightly, and no Heat player around him had time to cover him. Anjie immediately went to the basket to get stuck, just in case.

However, the accident did not appear, and the basketball thrown by Matthews went into the net hollow. The Trail Blazers added another three points and beat the Heat 5-0 in the opening game!

Spoelstra and James began to hesitate. What kind of trick did the Trail Blazers play today?

An Jie adjusted his breathing, this kind of fast-paced offense and defense really made him overwhelmed. But as long as he persisted for a few more minutes, in just a few minutes, the game would enter the rhythm he liked!

The Blazers' fierce firepower has left the American Airlines Center dead, however, this is only the tip of the iceberg of their changes. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
