Chapter 695: Fierce Fight
Due to Anjie's multiple lower limb injuries, Anjie always wears a lot of protective gear on his legs and ankles before each game, in addition to the headband.
But at this time, Wade in front of An Jie's eyes, his legs looked even tighter than An Jie's. The legs of "The Flash" have been devastated too much. As early as college, Wade had his meniscus removed. Just imagine, without this injury, the performance of "The Flash" in the league could have been even more terrifying.
But the hidden dangers left by those injuries back then will all explode by Wade's age. Wade's speed is not as fast as before, whether it is defense, shooting or other technical movements, without strong leg support, it will be affected.
However, just when everyone thought that Wade, who had a very ordinary performance in the playoffs, would continue to be mediocre today, the "Flash" used a beautiful pull-up jump shot to take the lead for the Heat!
"D-ade! We can see that in addition to LeBron, Wade is also quite hungry for victory! Don't forget, this guy is the real soul of the Heat!" Seeing Wade score with such a beautiful move, Mike Brin had to shout at the beginning of the game. Maybe in the previous rounds, Wade's performance was indeed unsatisfactory. But this is the finals! It's all up to this, and Wade has nothing to scruple about except working hard.
As soon as the game began, the Heat showed their determination to win. Divac is right, although the limelight of the Trail Blazers this year has completely overshadowed the Heat Big Three, this does not mean that the Big Three are all soft persimmons. They are still dangerous, but everyone is used to their danger.
The Trail Blazers immediately organized a counterattack, and today Anjie unexpectedly lost to Bosh in the jump stage, which surprised many people, including Anjie himself. After a stellar performance in the last series, Bosh is also quite excited right now. The hard work of the "Dragon King" when jumping the ball was something An Jie did not expect.
What Anjie didn't expect was that Bosh's excitement did not come from Bosh himself, but from the entire Heat team!
From Wade's stop-and-go jump shot at the beginning, you can see how aggressive the Heat are playing this year. Even Rashad Lewis, an out-of-the-box striker who was temporarily promoted to the starting four, was positively affected by the trend.
Lillard advanced with the ball and passed it to Anjie, who was in the high post. Anjie did not hesitate after taking the ball, he gently hung the basketball into the hands of Aldridge, who was already in position.
Aldridge singled Lewis, and it seemed to be a matchup without suspense. However, when Aldridge rolled over and jumped at his own pace, he was disrupted by Lewis's positive interference!
"Damn! Is it so deadly defensive!?" Aldridge didn't expect Lewis, who was no longer young, to be able to defend to such an extent, and the heavily disrupted basketball missed, James jumped high, protected the offensive rebound, and quickly controlled the ball and pushed forward to launch a counterattack.
The Trail Blazers' retreat is not slow, and the five people on the court now are all capable of running and jumping. Although Aldridge and Anjie are slightly less athletic, in the interior, the mobility of these two guys is already good.
James' desire to play a quick counter-attack was frustrated, but instead of getting anxious, he held the ball on the spot and waited for his teammates to settle down. It's clear that the Heat are planning to play a ground with the Trail Blazers!
"The Trail Blazers' defense was as good as ever, and they dropped back quickly, dragging the Heat into a positional battle. Let's take a look at how the Heat will choose to attack this time. ”
James is now playing the role of No. 1, while the rest of the Heat team is running the game according to Spoelstra's arrangement.
Chris Bosh didn't choose to go toe-to-toe with Anjie on the inside, but instead roamed around on the outside and did some blue-collar errands without the ball.
Anjie didn't care too much about Bosh because of this, and he now cared more about Wade's positioning. This clever guy may be able to hit the basket at some point.
Bosh is getting farther and farther away, and the distance between him and Anjie is getting bigger and bigger. Suddenly, Wade borrowed Bosh to block and then ran inward, and Anjie immediately reacted, moving sideways, intending to block Wade's forward path.
James started to pass the ball, but the basketball did not come to Wade, who cut inside, as Anjie thought, but was passed to Bosh who was standing outside the three-point line!
"Damn!" Anjie immediately sensed that something was wrong, and he immediately threw Wade behind and tried his best to pounce outside the three-point line. But Chris Bosh's shot, already shot.
Fans know that since joining the Heat, Bosh has been in good and bad form because of the team's role and injuries. When it's bad, it's almost like disappearing. But once he gets better, Bosh is definitely a giant-level figure.
Today, Bosh's shooting rhythm seemed to be particularly good. Anjie didn't dare to continue to reach out, he was afraid of being whistled for a shooting foul from beyond the three-point line. The basketball flew towards the basket in a huge arc, Aldridge got stuck in position, and Iguodala was ready to sprint at any time. However, this time, the "Dragon King" did not disappoint James and the Heat fans!
"Brush!" The Nets roll up, the basketball hollow into the net! Chris Bosh, three-point shot!
"Yay!" Bosh exclaimed, giving James a cordial high-five. An Jie waved his fist unwillingly, and the responsibility for this missed goal was entirely his.
5-0! Within minutes of the opening minutes, the Heat went on a 5-0 score. This was something that the fans of the Moda Center did not expect at first.
After an attack, An Jie finally saved face. Although Bosh's top defense is very active and hardworking, Anjie still uses his height and reach advantage to hook up and score on Bosh's head.
For offense, An Jie can now do it like fire. Whether it is technology or experience, AnJie has accumulated a lot of experience.
However, the Trail Blazers fans didn't rejoice for long, and Wade assisted James to complete a trademark tomahawk slam with a long pass that ran through the court!
"Bang!" When the basket made a loud noise, Riccard, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly jumped to his feet. The momentum of the Heat was too strong, a little more than he expected.
As soon as James landed, the referee blew his whistle. But it wasn't because a player on the basketball court had fouled, but Riccard on the sidelines called a timeout to the referee.
"From the start of the 7-2 game, from the very beginning, the Heat were in excellent shape. Coach Ricard's timeout was very timely, don't look at the difference between the two sides is only five points now, but on a stage like the finals, even if you are only one point behind, you must pay attention!"
The senior commentators of various TV stations are analyzing the situation on the field, and the substitutes at both ends of the stadium, coaches and players are also discussing countermeasures fiercely.
"It's too loose, it's too loose! Whether it's offense or defense, we're going to have to break up a little tighter! Get into the groove quickly, I want you to get into the groove quickly! There's no time to warm you up, the Heat were going to take us out from the start. Next, we have to give a strong counterattack! Damien, Duoduo breakthrough, Bosh and Lewis can't stop you! An, LaMarcus. Either don't go into the box and make room for Darmion, or just put me deep and go straight to the basket!" Rickard had just finished saying that the timeout was over. He threw away the tactical board and clapped his hands vigorously.
"Get on the field, bring the momentum back to me!" Rickard raised his fist and yelled, like a dictator.
"Roar!" the Trail Blazers all members of the team let out their signature yells as they stepped onto the court again.
"This year's Damion Lillard is a lot more mature than last year, Chalmers should be careful, it seems that this time Damion's goal is not to organize the offense, but to score himself!" Kenny Smith had just finished speaking, and Lillard suddenly accelerated!
Chalmers just wanted to move sideways to stop it, but found that he was blocked by An Jie. Chris Bosh immediately turned back and chased back, but how could he keep up with Lillard.
Lillard's speed made him hit the Heat like a bullet directly to the Heat's vital point! Lewis wanted to make up for the defense, but before he could get to the basket, Lillard had already jumped high and completed a heavy dunk.
"It's a simple pick-and-roll tactic, but it's very effective. Looks like the Trail Blazers are planning to fight back!"
Lillard's breakaway score made the atmosphere at the Moda Center frenetic again. Of course, his ability to suddenly accelerate also made Chalmers swallow. The No. 0 defender in front of him was fast enough last year, and this year, his speed is still improving!
Just when Chalmers was nervous, Lillard quickly discovered the flaw in the Heat's vacancy. Last year, Chalmers pulled the Heat back from the cliff with his excellent performance, but this year, Lillard won't allow that to happen again.
I saw Lillard suddenly accelerate forward, and Chalmers, who entered the league in the same year as Anjie, naturally knew what this No. 0 wanted to do. But before he could protect the basketball, the basketball had already been taken away by Lillard.
"It's so fast! Damien is the black lightning in this arena!"
Because Lillard rushed too hard and his center of gravity was too forward, the moment he took out the basketball, Lillard's own balance was completely lost.
He fell directly to the ground with the basketball in his arms, but at this time Anjie and Iguodala had already rushed to the front. Lillard didn't hesitate, lying on the ground and throwing the basketball forward. An Jie stretched out his hand, unloaded the basketball perfectly, took three steps directly, and strode to attack the frame.
At this time, James had already caught up. He stuck to An Jie, trying his best not to let An Jie get up.
Anjie hugged the basketball in the way of playing football, with one hand driving James at his side, and the other hand raised high.
He jumped at the same time as James, and James's bounce height was much better than Anjie's, almost making up for James's disadvantage in height and reach.
However, because Anjie has been driving the "little emperor" with one hand, James can't get closer to Anjie. Under the fierce physical confrontation between the two, An Jie still took the lead in dunking the ball into the basket.
"Boom!" all the fans at the scene raised their arms and cheered loudly, Anjie's dunk just now was scored on James's head!
"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful! No, no, no, it's not just this ball, it's been a great game so far! You know Jeff, this is the stage of the Finals! The Trail Blazers and the Heat didn't let us down!" Mike Bryn's emotions were completely infected by the enthusiasm of the game and the fans, and the beginning of this game was simply too enjoyable!
After Ricard's reminder, the Trail Blazers also showed momentum on the counteroffensive.
The Heat and the Trail Blazers are at odds with each other, which also makes fans look forward to the next game.
Both teams have the belief that they will win, and they both have reasons to win. Guild Wars, starting from the first one!
