Chapter 342: A 45-second turn
In the first quarter of the game, An Jie defended the dignity of the rose garden with defense. In the first half www.biquge.info of the second quarter of the game, Anjie's offense made the Heat very nervous, but in the second half, the double impact of James and Wade allowed the Heat to build a five-point advantage.
Maybe the Heat didn't think that the advantage they had worked so hard to build was filled by the Trail Blazers' bench players. However, Anjie's good foundation for chasing points is also the main reason why the two teams can return to the same running line now.
If it weren't for An Jie, the score would have been a mere five points. Now that the fourth quarter has not even started, Anjie has already scored 28 points, Spoelstra does not need to return to the bag for a minute, and Anjie will not stop for a minute.
"Let me say it's the best I've seen this season, and the best game I've seen between the Trail Blazers and the Heat in recent times. Previously, the two teams either lost because of poor form, or won because they were too good, making the game no suspense. Today is good, the two sides are evenly matched, I mean the Heat do have some advantage in terms of strength, but at least the Trail Blazers are using their methods to close the gap. I think it's very likely that the winner will be decided at the last second in today's match. Charles Barkley licked his lips, which had dried out from talking too much, and his voice never stopped from start to finish. Every dunk on the court, every block, will be accompanied by Barkley's screams. When Kenny Smith and O'Neal stopped to rest, Barkley could go on and on.
Sometimes the cheeky Barkley doesn't want to work hard, whether he can get this guy to explain seriously, just watch a game to catch his eye. There is no doubt that today's exciting matchup between the Trail Blazers and the Heat is very much in line with Barkley's appetite.
Anjie sat down and drank two glasses of Gatorade, halfway through the season, but it was the first time that Anjie felt that a game would make him so tired. James and The Flash, the impact of these two guys really made Anjie feel very difficult. In the first quarter, he was full of physical strength and could still defend hard, but in the fourth quarter of the game, it was difficult for An Jie to achieve that level of defense again.
But the game is not over yet, no matter how tired he is, he has to keep fighting. Seeing his teammates looking at him expectantly one by one, An Jie threw away the disposable paper cup in his hand and stood up suddenly.
At the same time, James and Wade also jumped off the bench. The three of them looked at each other and walked onto the court.
Anjie didn't know that he had scored 28 points, and he didn't look at his stats, but he knew that he still had to keep scoring, and keep scoring, until the Trail Blazers took the lead, until the end of the game.
On the pitch, both sides changed their starting line-ups. Although Jamal Crawford and Contney Lee were doing well, they were exhausted in the second half of the third quarter, and it would have been ineffective if they had continued to use them at the beginning of the fourth quarter. So, the five tigers of the pioneers stood together again. Only this time, the game has come to an end.
"Ann was unstoppable in this game, scoring 28 points in three quarters, and he didn't have the sense to stop. Hey, Raymond Felton has passed the ball and Ann is in the middle range and is on top of the box to face Bosh!"
Angel had thought he would have reached a deep position before raising his hand for the ball, but he suddenly changed his attention and found that he didn't have to struggle so hard against Bosh and Joe Anthony.
Conserve your stamina and make it to the end while continuing to score. Anjie's task is very difficult, so he wants to score with a more powerful mid-range face frame attack than a back-to-back single.
An Jie is indeed a master of low-post attack, but he is still dangerous in the face frame. An Jie's breakthrough is also among the best in the interior, and his jump shots and throws are no worse than those of small guards.
Bosh stretched his arms as wide as he could, and he tried to lock Anjie on the outside and keep him from getting close to the basket. However, Anjie only used one move to completely collapse Bosh's defense.
An Jie first made a shooting action, and in the face of Bosh who was one step away, An Jie could really choose to shoot. Don't forget, CIC is also one of AnJie's strengths.
Bosh reflexively stepped forward to interfere, while Anjie quickly collected the ball and poked to the left of Bosh, as if to fake a real shot.
Bosh is also one of the Heat's Big Three, and although he has not performed well this season, his excellent foundation will not disappear. Seeing that An Jie was about to break through, Bosh immediately took a step sideways, and continuously changed the center of gravity of the defense, which had already made Bosh miserable. But at least this time, he can block it!
Just when Bosh just took a step sideways, An Jie, who had originally broken through to the left, suddenly leaned on Bosh and turned around and rushed to the right. At this time, Bosh could no longer change his focus. He could only reach out to grab An Jie's ball, but only caught a gust of wind.
Anjie got rid of Bosh and went straight to the basket, and Joe Anthony immediately returned to the defense. Although Aldridge is very good offensively, in terms of containment ability, he is really not as good as Morris. If Morris had been there, Joe Anthony wouldn't have even had a chance to return to the defense.
But even if Joe Anthony defends back, Anjie is not afraid. He leaped and slammed sideways to dunk just past Joe Anthony's arm and dunk the ball into the basket.
"Beautiful footsteps, do you think An's breakthrough relies on speed? No, he relies on his exquisite footwork. It's just not a coincidence, this guy's speed is also fast in the inside. "In the past, Anjie would never give others the impression of being fast. But now, after a long period of body modification training, An Jie's speed has made great progress.
Angel's beautiful goal made the fans of Rose Garden extremely excited, but they didn't have long to be happy when James poured cold water down.
This time he broke through from the bottom corner, and Anjie's jump block was also very timely. Helplessly, James curled up his body in the air, and when he flew to the other side of the basket, he stretched out and scored the ball.
This pull-up layup allowed James to dodge An Jie's palm very well, and it can be regarded as a response to An Jie's beautiful dunk just now. 30 points, like Anjie, James has also scored a lot of points today!
The game went on for a few minutes, with Spoelstra fidgeting from the sidelines. What about Ricard, who growled on the sidelines and sometimes expressed his frustration to the referee. In short, both managers have done everything they can. Now the outcome of the game depends on the performance of the players on the field.
This is already the fourth quarter An Jie didn't know how many times he held the ball, and when he saw that Spoelstra still continued to use a tight man-to-man defense, An Jie didn't think about it, and once again held the ball and turned to face the frame, ready to continue to work alone!
Bosh doesn't even have the desire to open his arms right now, because no matter what he does, Anjie can beat himself like a fool.
Just as Bosh was stunned, Anjie shot. Only this time, he really shot.
"Oh my God, Chris Bosh didn't respond. He's been stunned by An Jie, let's change someone, oh yes, there are few interior players on the Heat team who can handle it. O'Neill looked at the current Anjie, as if he saw himself when he was young. At that time, as long as he sat under the basket, no matter who came, he couldn't stop him. Now An Jie has extended his "unsolvable" distance to near the free throw line. It's not that Anjie plays softly, but Anjie has more offensive means than O'Neal!
The only thing that makes Anjie uneasy is that no matter how he scores, Wade and James on the other side can always respond. They knew that it was not easy to play with An Jie's guarded inside, so they chose more pull-up jump shots and throws to end the offense. James' pull-up layup was just the only time Wade and James scored in the three-second zone in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, Wade and James were very good in the middle range today. But even so, An Jie didn't dare to go out too much. He knew that James and Wade were just waiting for him to get out, but once he got out, the inside line behind him would immediately be wreaked havoc.
"Ann!
"A big hook at the free throw line, and ah, how many points has Ann scored?"
"Tough ..... Oh! Bosh didn't leave an inch in the process of defense, but Anjie still completed the dunk! Full of power, this is definitely a violent dunk that belongs to the inside monster!"
An Jie, An Jie, An Jie. Whether it is offensive or defensive, as long as it is a commentary about the Trail Blazers, Anjie's name must be indispensable.
The scores of the two sides continued to alternate in this way, and the score was not pulled away until the last minute of the game. 94-95, the Trail Blazers temporarily trailed by one point, but now it was the Trail Blazers' offensive round.
Ricard also gave up the game and let Anjie play a full quarter. Up to the fourth quarter, An Jie has not played for a second. And James and Wade are not much better, 45 seconds, this is the time for these two to be off the court.
This time Anjie still scored the basketball, and Bosh was numb when he picked up the ball under the basket. He didn't know how many points An Jie had scored, and he didn't want to know!
"42 points! God, after Anjie scored the ball just now, he already has 42 points in his account today!" Kenny Smith had a big mouth, he could guess that Anjie was going to do well in this game. But he didn't expect it to be so good.
However, the script seemed to be written, and then the Heat's offensive Wade's breakthrough attracted two people to the defense, and James who cut inside was only under the care of Aldridge.
Wade fed the ball to James with tacit understanding in an extremely small space, and James hit the board for a layup with Aldridge, and the basketball hit again!
After the goal was scored, Rickard hurriedly called a timeout. Now both sides have one more attack, and whether they win or lose will also be decided by these two attacks.
"Bag!" and on the Heat's side, Spoelstra didn't set anything up. After holding on for so long, he finally wants to use the bag clip on An Jie again!
As soon as An Jie fell into the three-second zone this time, he found that James also ran over to entangle with him. James's entanglement is different from others, his defense is absolutely fierce, and his shots are very accurate, and An Jie even almost lost the ball at one point.
Fortunately, AnJie relied on his height advantage to get the ball to Gerard Wallace.
As soon as James saw Anjie pass the ball, he immediately ran back. Gerard Wallace probably didn't expect James to be in place so quickly, so when he took the shot, he was startled by James' suddenly outstretched palm.
The disruption severely disrupted Wallace's shooting rhythm as his three-pointer slammed into the frame and Bosh and Joe Anthony worked together to jam Angel and James picked up the rebound.
"No, no, no!" Seeing that time was running out, the Trail Blazers were still behind. An Jie didn't think about it, and immediately hugged James from behind, who was about to speed up.
Foul play! With Gerard Wallace's shot missing, the Trail Blazers are now cornered!
However, James did not disappoint the Heat, and he made two free throws and two free throws to stretch the score to three points again.
At this time, the game time is only 5 seconds, and An Jie can't shoot three-pointers, so even if he can finish the offense under the basket, it won't help.
Gerard Wallace looked at Anjie's gritted teeth, very guilty. But there is no way, history cannot be reversed, his shot is indeed a shot that ruined the team's possibility of winning.
Rickard used up the last timeout on his hand, and even then, Anjie and he didn't give up yet. In the final moments, Ricard brought on Conteney Lee and Jamal Crawford, plus Wesley Matthews and Raymond Felton, and the Trail Blazers had almost all of their most accurate three-pointers except for Anjie.
But this time, An Jie lost his role. Even if he scores in a wonderful way on the inside, the score is still one point away. But time is not a minute.
The Heat put all their defensive focus on the perimeter, and Contney Lee could barely make a shot before the clock ran out. But today, this superb trick does not work a miracle.
"It's over! It's over! I didn't expect the turning point to come until the last 45 seconds!" Kenny Smith said, and O'Neill shook his head in rueful. It's a pity, Anjie didn't win this game, it's a pity. 107-104, the Trail Blazers lost by a narrow three-point deficit at home. If the game had lasted even one more minute, no, no, even thirty seconds, the result might have been very different.
42 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals. Such stats, if paired with a final win in the game, would be the perfect ending.
However, James's 38 points and Wade's 33 points made Anjie, who was supposed to amaze the league, dim.
O'Neal looked at An Jie's expression on the court, like this, it was exactly the same as the expression he had when he threw a lore on his head......
Win the data, lose the game. In the end, is it a win or a loss?
