The Way of the Center

Chapter 596: Who is the X factor?

Anjie and Iguodala and Batum are sitting on the technical table in training clothes. These three guys have finished their first round of shooting warm-up training.

At this moment, the stands behind the three were empty, and there was no staff in the technical stage. There is still some time before the game starts, and no one has entered the field except for the Blazers who are playing at home.

"It's time to fulfill your promise, Ann." Batum smiled at Anjie. When Anjie went to France to lobby Batum in person, he used the championship to convince the French.

Batum, who has just joined the Thunder for a year, returns to the Trail Blazers, and there is no guarantee. There is no doubt that this decision requires Batum to make a lot of determination. You know, the Thunder at that time was a team that had just gone through the Finals.

But until now, at least Batum can tell himself that he made the right choice. Anjie is a pleasing leader, Ricard is a fair and wise coach, a pioneer, and Batum really belongs.

After playing as Iguodala's substitute for a year in this harmonious team, Batum not only did not feel unwilling, but lived a very fulfilling and happy life.

"You are the only one in this group who faced James in the Finals last year. Don't worry Batum, this time, you will be the winner!" Anjie put his hands on Batum and Iguodala respectively. On the shoulders, at this moment, James led the Heat into the field to warm up.

The players of the two teams didn't say much, they neither acted very friendly nor spoke ill of each other.

As if they couldn't see each other, they warmed up on their own. It's not good for James to say hello to Anjie at this time. All those friendly things, those greetings to friends, wait until after the game.

As time went on, more and more fans started pouring into the stadium. The reporters set up their cameras on the sidelines, ready to send this crucial battle to the world to determine the championship. The commentary area also became lively, and those celebrities put on their headphones one after another and began to create momentum for the game.

Gradually, the shouting became a sensation. gradually,

The atmosphere of the tiebreaker became heated. Gradually, the lights in the rose garden became harsh.

An Jie looked up at his surroundings, the tiebreaker of the finals is still here!

"This game is destined to be very difficult for the Heat. In the away game of the Finals, countless excellent teams have fallen on this hurdle. No one has ever been able to overcome such a level." T.nT The trio started chattering.

"LeBron is a man who is gradually approaching legend. Now he does anything sensational. I will not be surprised. He has the ability to make history, even if this thing has never been done before." Charles Barkley sang against Kenny Smith. The game hadn't started yet, and the fans couldn't wait just to hear the three of T.nT talking nonsense.

On the court, players from both sides have gathered together, and Ricard and Spoelstra are now going to make final arrangements for their players.

In fact, at this point in the game, the two coaches have used almost all the moves they can use. Both parties are also very familiar with each other, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Only a very small number of teams can come up with unexpected tactics in the tie-break. So now, the key to the victory of the game depends more on the players' on-the-spot performance.

"The box in the locker room, I hope you can use it." Ricard put down the tactical board one minute before the start of the game.

"Attack more resolutely! Opportunities arise, don't hesitate!" Spoelstra continued to emphasize the game.

Finally, under the urging of the referee, the five tigers of the two teams stepped into the battlefield with the logo of the finals.

For the Trail Blazers, the lineup remains unchanged. As for the Heat, Spoelstra directly let Mike Miller play, and used James to play the fourth position.

Small lineups and traditional lineups, don't use the inside and focus on the inside. Two teams with completely different basketball philosophies are about to present the grand finale to this full table.

At the beginning of the game, James and Anjie attacked fiercely. The two people who are still very physically strong are basically impossible to be guarded.

Ricard and Spoelstra don't plan to make a fuss about these two now. Other than these two Bug-like characters, other people are the x factors that can change the trend of the game.

Mike Miller. The reason why this guy was brought up today is naturally because he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders!

When Haslem was in the past, the Heat's offense was equivalent to only 4 people. Obviously, the Filipinos want to change this situation, so they let Mike Miller, who performed well in the finals, play.

So now, when James and Angie are in a fight, Mike Miller is the one who needs to step up and tip the balance.

Bosh's off-the-ball pick-and-roll is very active, and Iguodala has been blocked by the "Dragon King" several times in a row.

However, due to James and Wade's brave state and frequent goals, Miller did not get the pass after running out of space.

But he won't complain, he is already a hero. Raiders, is to stand up suddenly at the most unexpected moment, that is, when the star of the team starts to reduce efficiency!

With the experience of getting rid of Iguodala in the previous rounds, Mike Miller has become more confident. As long as there is an opportunity now, he will definitely grasp it!

The score between the two sides has been very tense from the very beginning. If the two sides were not evenly matched, they would not have reached the tiebreaker at all.

In one of the Heat's offenses, Wade broke through immediately after receiving a pass from James.

Wade, who was extremely excited today, made Matthews very distressed, and Wade's desperate breakthrough reappeared. After all, "The Flash" also knows that this is the Heat's last chance.

But this time, after Wade broke through, he realized that he didn't have much room to pass the ball. Anjie ignored Bosh and continued to stick to the basket. In this way, Wade's offensive space is completely locked.

The Flash immediately tried to find a passing target and challenged An Jie head-on. This was the most stupid approach.

Bosh is at the blind spot of Wade's vision at the moment, where is James? He was standing too far away. It's too risky to pass the ball back to him.

Chalmers? Chalmers is an option, but at the last moment, Wade saw Mike Miller running to the bottom corner and raising his hands for the ball.

Without hesitation, Wade made a secret pass and sent the basketball to the bottom corner.

Wade's passing is very comfortable. He allows Mike Miller to catch the basketball steadily without changing his center of gravity.

Miller glanced at the rim and at his toes to make sure he wasn't stepping on the line. After that, he pulled up and shot, and Iguodala rushed through the crowd, but it was too late.

"Will Mike Miller become a surprise player for the Heat today?" Bill Walton clenched his fists, and every ball now will affect the final outcome to some extent.

The basketball kept spinning in the air, and Trail Blazers fans were praying to God not to let the ball fall into the rim.

Anjieka has positioned himself well, but looking at the trajectory of the ball, even a rebounder like him can't judge whether the basketball will go in or not.

The basketball began to fall, and half of the sphere fell into the basket. However, the basketball circled inside the basket and rolled out!

"Damn it!" Miller yelled unwillingly. He felt very good when he just made the shot. Unexpectedly, the basketball would roll out in such an unlucky way!

An Jie's nerves relaxed by Catherine became more sensitive than before. He immediately took off and picked up the rebound. It seems that Spoelstra's Raiders are not very easy to use.

It's nothing to miss a shot, but Mike Miller knows that there is definitely no problem with his touch today.

So for the second offense, Miller used the off-ball pick-and-roll of two consecutive teammates to get rid of Iguodala like brown sugar. He ran to the bottom corner and raised his hand for the ball again!

Wade also continued to choose to trust Miller, and made another breakthrough to score the ball. The Heat played a tactic exactly the same as just now. The only difference is that Miller decided to try in a different direction. Just now he was in the left corner, now he is on the right.

Seeing that Iguodala was still three steps away from him, Miller didn't adjust too much, just catch the ball and shoot! Perhaps on the surface, Iguodala's defense did not affect Mike Miller, but in fact, Iguodala has made Miller unconsciously afraid.

The basketball crosses a standard arc, but misses and hits the left side of the rim instead.

"Missed two shots in a row. It seems that Mike Miller hasn't adapted to the rhythm of playing again!" Bill Wharton happily waved his arms. Should the commentator remain neutral? Now he can't control so much!

After the goal was missed, the Blazers quickly counterattacked again. Lillard's breakthrough today is as brave as Wade's. Even if James is chasing after him, Lillard is not afraid!

In the end, James slapped Lillard out of the baseline even with the ball. Although the ball was a foul, he made Lillard improve his memory. The Heat's basket is not what you want to rush! Viciousness is the only way to build defensive deterrence. Look at An Jie, as long as he goes to the penalty area, he can stop many outside players. Among them, An Jie relied on his ferocity!

Anjie immediately ran up to pull Lila up. "It's okay!"

"Hmph, compared to the defenses you've done to me, it's nothing!" Lillard rubbed his sore arm, and quickly stood on the free throw line.

James didn't know that his fierce defense did not make Lillard timid, but made Lillard stronger!

What kind of leader there is what kind of team, Anjie's toughness has infected every player.

Lillard made two free throws steadily. From the eyes of this best rookie, you can't see any fear at all.

Mike Miller is still hitting the iron frequently, and on the Blazers side, Lillard has stepped forward after Anjie.

From the first quarter of this game, it was very unfavorable to the Heat. I hope Spoelstra can quickly find someone to fill Miller's vacancy.

James and Wade are powerful, but relying on these two alone, the Heat cannot break history.

The away tie-break in the finals is not that simple.
