The Way of the Center

Chapter 587: Sudden Changes

In the history of the NBA Finals, there have been a total of 32 3-1 deficits, but no team has ever been able to complete the reversal from a 3-1 deficit. This curse is like a 3-0 that cannot be reversed, and it is deeply branded in the hearts of every player.

The longer such a record is maintained, the easier it is to create fear in the hearts of players.

Many teams obviously still have a chance to fight to the death, but they are crushed by the historical curse of 3-0 or 3-1 and lose their fighting spirit.

That's right, the psychological pressure of falling behind 3 to 1 has indeed had a great impact on the players. Even for a team that has just won a championship, the Heat can't afford such pressure.

What's more, if they lose the next game, the Heat will not only have to face a total score of 3 to 1 behind, but also have to accept the fact that they only have one home game left.

Therefore, the fourth game of the finals, the second game at the American Airlines Center, has been regarded by the Big Three as a life-and-death game.

"Hurry up, Chris, you have to be faster when you cut in later!" James, who was in possession of the ball, yelled in the training ground, Bosh just raised his hand in apology, and everyone was in position, ready to re-drill This tactic.

However, this is already the fifth time all members of the Heat have practiced this extremely boring tactical move.

"They are full of energy." Pat Riley was relieved and walked in front of the Filipino coach of the Heat.

"Well, we were not affected by the big defeat in the last game at all. They worked hard, and we are bound to win!" Spoelstra's eyes were firm, and the fifth-largest point difference in the history of the finals did not affect the Heat The preparation of the players.

"You know Eric, the next game is very important to us. It can even be said that tomorrow's win or loss will directly affect the win or loss of the finals." Pat Riley's expression suddenly became serious, He had to remind his coach that the next game will be the moment that decides the life and death of the team!

"They won't let you down.

"Spoelstra pointed to the players who were training hard with his chin. He saw the hope of the defending champion in this group of guys!

At the same time, in the visiting team's training ground in the same arena, An Jie was also doing extra training alone.

But the difference is that the Heat are training with the entire team, while the Trail Blazers only have Anjie.

Ricard rested his players before the big game and it was absolutely the right decision. But An Jie could always vaguely sense that they would be in great trouble tomorrow. He knows James, he knows how powerful the Heat are. It is impossible for such a team to sit still after being beaten.

The Heat can't just be crushed like this. The Big Three will definitely stand up and fight back with a double-strength punch.

An Jie, who has worries, can only use training to relax the pressure in his heart. Only when he is working hard, An Jie will not worry about being surpassed by others. Hopefully, all this is just thinking too much.

"Damn it, you have to switch defenses faster!" Miami, American Airlines Center, visiting team bench. Unable to sit still, Ricard stood up abruptly and roared at his players.

Just now, through a series of exquisite cooperation, the Big Three made a mid-range shot from Wade and scored again.

If it was once or twice, Ricard might not have much reaction. However, this is the third consecutive time that the Big Three have made mistakes on the offensive end.

"Excellent off-ball running, space containment and conduction, the Big Three of the Heat finally showed their best form today!"

"If we say that in the first three games, the Trail Blazers completely blocked the Big Three. Then today, it was the collective explosion of the Big Three, making the basket guarded by Anjie miserable!"

That's right, in the first three games, the Heat's Big Three didn't show any decent performance. Even the 19-point victory over the Blazers was based on the explosion of Ray Allen and Chalmers. As far as the performance of the Big Three is concerned, it is really a bit overwhelming.

In other words, the Heat in the first three games were just an ordinary team, and they didn't match the titles of super team and defending champion at all.

But today, just after Wade made that goal. The Heat defined a superteam to the world on their home court. This is a team with three superstars, and all three of them proved last year that they have what it takes to compete for a title.

Under the leadership of Anjie, the Blazers immediately launched a counterattack.

Today, the Blazers continued the excellent attempt of the previous game on the offensive end. Anjie sat inside while his teammates opened up space for him, and easily pushed Bosh's small hook to score.

However, it is not the Trail Blazers themselves that make the Trail Blazers passive today, but because the performance of the Heat's Big Three is too eye-catching.

Not long after Anjie scored a goal, James' breakthrough attracted Anjie's premise defense.

However, this time, James did not compete with Anjie again. Instead, he made a secret pass and sent the ball to Bosh.

Bosh got a little room to shoot as Ainger went to cover the defense. If it was the first few games, maybe Bosh would miss the shot because of Anjie's timely return to defense.

But today, "Dragon King" was not disturbed by An Jie, his steady mid-range jump shot not only bypassed An Jie's palm, but also fell directly into the net!

"Boom!" There was another burst of cheers from the American Airlines Center, and Spoelstra waved his arms excitedly.

This shot not only allowed the Heat to score two points. He also completely vented the Heat's unwillingness to be oppressed by Anjie in the past few days!

"Another beautiful goal. Today, even An Jie has nothing to do with the Big Three!" All the commentators in the commentary area cheered loudly, except for the table of Yu Jia and Bill Wharton. of.

"They should cut off the connection between the Big Three, instead of focusing too much on protecting the rim!" Bill Walton commented anxiously, but the tactics are easy to say, but in practice, it can be difficult. It's not easy anymore.

The Big Three of the Heat performed very well today, even Chris Bosh, who has been suppressed miserably, played a satisfactory performance today.

Anjie's concerns were correct, the Heat did climb up, and their counterattack was more violent than previously imagined.

James went on a rampage, threading needles.

Regardless of the knee injury, Wade made a crazy breakthrough and shot accurately.

Bosh worked very hard on the defensive end today, and he didn't panic when he got open. Coupled with Ray Allen's steady performance on the bench, the Heat have always taken the initiative today.

Anjie and his teammates are still working hard, and they played really well. That kind of smooth attack made the American Airlines Center fans break out in cold sweat several times.

However, the explosion of the Big Three allowed the Heat to take the lead to the end. With Matthews's key three-pointer missed and Wade's stray step past Anjie to complete the layup, the score was also fixed at 93 to 101.

At the end of the game, James, Wade, and Bosh embraced each other bouncingly. They won the crucial fourth game and pulled the Heat back from the cliff without letting the total score become 3-1. They defended the honor of the American voyage and did not let the bloody bloody slaughter continue here.

After the loss, An Jie was not upset. After all, it wasn't that their performance was not good enough today, but that the opponent's performance was too perfect.

How terrible did the Big Three of the Heat play today? James had 33 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 60% from the field. It was in stark contrast to the previous game.

Wade has 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Every breakthrough of Wade will be heart-wrenching. But most importantly, his hard work paid off.

Chris Bosh has been beaten black and blue by Anjie since the beginning of the series. Even many media said that Bosh is not a giant at all.

But today, he used 20 points and 13 rebounds to make Anjie face. Bosh is not a giant? Then you will definitely be swallowed by the wrath of the "Dragon King".

When these three guys play like this, there's no way the Heat can lose. Looking at the entire league, no team can win in this situation.

"This is the finals, Ann. We must take every step patiently. Let's go back. I've been busy these days." Ricard whispered beside Anjie as he walked. The total score is 2 to 2, another bloody tight situation.

Maybe now, Anjie and Ricard haven't thought of it yet. Bigger troubles will await them later.

"This is simply a crazy game! Now the Big Three are only one minute away from winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain at the American Airlines Center!" Kenny Smith looked at the field excitedly.

Today is June 16, the fifth matchup of the finals. At present, the total score of the two sides is 2 to 2, but maybe one minute later, the Heat will take a 3 to 2 lead!

James flew forward to block the shot, causing Anjie to stagger a few steps forward. The referee's whistle sounded in time, and there was no doubt that James fouled Anjie's shot.

Iguodala was very dissatisfied with James' intentional foul, and he was going to rush to James to confront him. But Anjie waved at Iguodala, they don't need to waste time on this kind of thing now!

James did not feel remorse for his foul, and would rather interrupt the Blazers' offense than let Anjie score directly.

Although Anjie made two free throws, the Blazers could also add two points. But direct goals and being fouled free throws, the morale of the Trail Blazers fluctuated quite differently.

Sure enough, Anjie made two free throws amidst the huge boos of the Heat fans. Bosh picked up the basketball unhurriedly, with only 40 seconds left in the game. And the Miami Heat still have an 8-point lead!

8 points, this is not an insurmountable gap. But for the current Big Three, they will hardly let Anjie turn decay into magic again.

The last 40 seconds were thrilling, and the movements of both sides became bigger and bigger. If the game time is one minute longer, God knows if this place will become a battlefield for free fighting.

However, the wonderful scene did not help Anjie and the Blazers complete the reversal, and the 8-point advantage was maintained until the last second.

what does that mean? This was no ordinary failure.

When the red light on the backboard comes on, the on-field timer beeps. When the Heat fans cheered, James jumped onto the commentary stand. It means that in the 7-game 4-win finals, the Heat won the crucial battle of the King of Heaven, and won the match point with a score of 3 to 2!

"Ann's O'Brien Cup is now abruptly snatched by LeBron!" Mike Breen was sweating profusely. This suffocating game is really unsettling.

The Big Three made another effort to defeat the Blazers. Although the difference is only 8 points, in the finals, a 1-point lag is extremely fatal!

"Aj, sucks! Aj, sucks!" Immediately, there was a neat shout from the American Airlines Center, and they were all taunting An Jie with words. An Jie also rejected everyone's interview requests amidst the huge boos, and walked into the player tunnel silently.

3 to 2, the Trail Blazers encountered the biggest crisis since the season. Is the championship dream that has been dusty for 36 years coming to an end? Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
