In the era when Anjie just entered the league, if any team put on a small lineup on the field, fans would definitely think that this team was crazy!

Throughout the decades of NBA history, there has never been a shortage of athletic talent maniacs, and the elder Nelson has long experimented with the run-and-gun style of a small lineup. However, before the Warriors came along, no team had been able to succeed with a small roster.

Back in 2008, what would have happened if a team had a small lineup?

The opponent's inside line will hit the back until you make adjustments, and the star outside will rush in as soon as he gets the ball, and even if he doesn't score, there are big men who fight for rebounds in the front court.

In that era, to defend the offense of a small lineup, it was generally to defend the penalty area and prevent breakthroughs. Shooting? You just shoot from the outside, because in those days, you couldn't win by shooting alone.

However, thanks to the degradation of the interior players in recent years. Now, even if a team has a small lineup, the big man can't blow up the opponent's interior line. If you play with a light backrest, a small lineup with a pack of clips is basically a mistake.

On the defensive side, you basically have to chase after others to defend a team with a small lineup, and no one dares to let go. You let him vote, he can really vote for you. Especially a player like Curry, if you don't let him shoot, he can shoot you.

The big players can't protect the rim in time, and the small lineup can not only shoot the basket, but also use sharper breaks to cause damage. In this era, the three-point offense is just like the interior offense back then, a conventional offensive method. The skyrocketing three-point shooting percentage of various teams is one of the main reasons why small lineups are now able to take the world by storm.

And the Cavaliers, relying on a very high three-point shooting rate, stole a victory at the Moda Center. As for the defensive end, since the Trail Blazers do not have a strong outside offensive point, relying on Anjie alone to attack the interior cannot solve the problem of the entire team's offense.

After all, no matter how great a player is, basketball is still a game played by five people.

After the game, fans were not only discussing the winners and losers, but also the trajectory of basketball as a sport.

Today, the Trail Blazers are the only team that has built a dynasty with a traditional style of play. But this year, the Cavaliers' star-studded lineup seems to put the Trail Blazers, the last hope of old-school play, in jeopardy.

This finals pushed the game of basketball to a stage of change in history. Whether a traditional team with a super inside line can beat a team with a small lineup with a super outside line has become the reason why many fans continue to pay attention to the finals.

The day after the game, An Jie slept until 11 o'clock before waking up. The continuous high-intensity battles and the hard closed training before the finals made An Jie's body exhausted.

An Jie looked at the time, although he didn't have any games to play in the next three days, but now, he only had a few hours to spend with his family.

In the afternoon, Anjie will take a plane to Cleveland. This road trip lasted for almost a week. No one wants to be separated from their families, especially now that An Jie and Catherine have only been married for a few years, and An Xiang is still young.

An Jie quickly got out of bed and grasped every minute and second with his family.

"Baby!" An Jie walked out of the room and shouted loudly.

"Daddy is finally awake!" An Xiang ran to An Jie excitedly, holding a small children's basketball in his hand.

"What's wrong? Can't wait to start today's special training!? An Jie squatted down and touched his son's head.

"He's been yelling all morning, and I told him not to disturb your rest." Catherine walked over with a grin and looked at the father and son, who were extremely obsessed with basketball.

"Hehe, I'm going to play away from home, and I have to work hard for you." Anjie said, hugging Catherine tightly.

"I really can't bear to let you go, once you go, it will be a few days. And...... And I'm always worried that you're going to get hurt if you keep playing high-intensity games. Catherine also hugged An Jie tightly. People say that marriage is the grave of love, but there is no feeling of mutual boredom between Anjie and Catherine. These two people, like in college, snuggled up to each other and were reluctant to be separated.

"The season is coming to an end, baby. I'm not going anywhere this offseason. I'll just keep you and my son together, okay? Angel whispered in Catherine's ear.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go play basketball with Xiao Ke for a while." Catherine smiled and changed her son's jersey.

※※※

It was a sunny and mild noon, and the temperature was suitable. The sun at the beginning of June is not too scorching. The temperature and weather are always pleasant.

In the courtyard of a mansion, the city's greatest player, Anjie, is sweating on the basketball court in this courtyard. His opponent is not LeBron. James, not Stephen. Curry, but a three-year-old Asian boy.

Catherine leaned against the door and looked at the two men fighting bulls on the basketball court with a happy smile on her face. Watching these two boys play basketball is probably one of Catherine's favorite things to do right now.

A few years ago, Anjie's small villa was very deserted. Most of the time, Anjie is the only one who lives here. Moreover, An Jie, who needs to go out often to play away, is not at home every day.

But now, this villa is full of life. The empty living room is filled with all kinds of furniture, and the idle room is arranged into a peaceful and warm little world. And Catherine, a virtuous wife, takes care of the whole family cleanly.

The blonde girl couldn't help but touch the engagement ring on her hand, marrying this man may be the most correct decision she has ever made in her life. Even if Catherine gave up her modeling career in the ascendant, she didn't regret it at all.

A happy home is more important than anything else.

In the yard, An Xiang controlled the basketball in a good manner. I have to admit that this guy's talent in playing basketball is really amazing. There are many movements that An Jie only taught him once or twice, and he can learn them quickly.

This scene reminded An Jie of his own father. Although his father was unable to realize his dream of becoming a professional footballer due to injury problems. But he is undoubtedly a trailblazer on his basketball path. Anjie had a solid foundation before joining the NCAA thanks to his father.

Back then, An Shiran, who took his son to and from the court since he was a child, may never have dreamed that his son would become one of the greatest stars in the world.

Now, An Jie is looking at his son, who knows what will become of this kid in the future?

For professional footballers, this kind of warm family time is always short-lived. The ringtone of AnJie's mobile phone brought all this warm atmosphere to an abrupt end.

The smile on An Jie's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Catherine, who just nodded at him.

"Hello? Boss? Well, I'm going to leave for the airport. "You don't have to ask, it's the Trail Blazers who are ready to go.

Everyone else gathered with the team and rushed to the airport together, and it was already a great privilege for Anjie to be able to travel freely.

"Dad, are you going to the Cavaliers' lair?" An Xiang put down the basketball and ran to his father.

"That's the home field, son. You practice what I just taught you at home, and the next time you come back, you'll have to beat me. ”

"Hmmm! Daddy go and beat the knights, and then I'll beat Daddy again! An Xiang nodded vigorously, he knew that his father was the best. So, he's going to have to be even better than his father!

"I'm gone, baby. Don't worry, I won't let myself get hurt. After that, Angel turned and walked towards Catherine. Over the years, every time they separate, Anjie will be full of reluctance.

"Go, my hero. Win all the games, and then come back and lift the O'Brien Cup! Catherine finished speaking and kissed Anjie. An Xiang stuck out his tongue and blindfolded himself with two small hands.

An Jie knew that when he walked out of the house, he was about to face the cruel war.

But before the battle begins, let An Jie savor this leisure afternoon again. Even heroes need to relax, don't they?

As the sun sets, the plane rises. An Jie said goodbye to his family and rushed to Cleveland. I hope that Anjie, who has been relaxed, can burst out with more strength away from home. This man is burdened with the expectations of countless people......
