The result of this game surprised everyone. People thought the Cavaliers would lose, but they never thought the Cavaliers would lose so badly.

The Cavaliers made a total of 40 three-point attempts throughout the game, but only hit 14 of them. The vast majority of them came from Korver, who was only substituted in the second half.

Maybe Tyronn Lue forgot that his perimeter players weren't Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, two perverted guys. To win a game with a three-pointer, Tyronn Lue needs some luck in addition to his strength.

But it is clear that today, God is not on the side of the Clevelands.

With the victory, An Jie dragged his tired body back to the locker room. Although the Trail Blazers team completed a big victory today, An Jie, as the main point of attack, did not play easily.

On both offensive and defensive ends, Anjie needs to put in more effort than others to ensure that the team stays ahead.

After this guy returned to the locker room, the reporters also set up the camera in front of An Jie's locker for the first time.

In the past, the dressing room was a no-go place for journalists. But in recent years, in order to better promote itself, the NBA league has also allowed reporters to enter the locker room in an orderly manner for some limited filming.

Although there were cameras with lights on in front of him, An Jie did not look uncomfortable. After all, life under the spotlight has long been accustomed to Anjie.

The tall 00 did not celebrate the victory, nor did he pay attention to the reporters in front of him. He just took out his phone, dialed a video call, and held it up.

"Hey, you're doing amazing. Say you love you to Daddy, Gram. Catherine's voice came over the phone.

"Dad, you're awesome! I love you!" was followed by a peaceful and childish shout.

"Hehe, how are you doing?" An Jie showed a warm smile, an expression that reporters couldn't see on the basketball court.

"Mom took me to the zoo today! Then, we went to Dad's restaurant for steak!" An Xiang's expression was very excited, obviously he still remembered his happy life today.

"Really!?Did you see an elephant at the zoo?"

"See!"

......

The chat between An Jie and his family made the reporters a little unbearable. The group simply removed the camera and took aim at Iguodala, the current No. 2 on the Trail Blazers.

Yes, An Jie is no longer the frivolous young man he was at the beginning. His life is no longer just basketball.

At the post-match press conference, An Jie's mood also looked exceptionally good. Wu Hua believes that in addition to the victory in the game, the well-being of his family is also one of the reasons why An Jie is so happy.

The first game in Cleveland ended in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

The Trailblazers won, and AnJie also cut down dazzling statistics. And Catherine and An Xiang also had a pleasant day that belonged to them.

An Jie went to bed early today, and as soon as Morris returned to his room, he found that An Jie had fallen asleep on the bed.

Morris smiled and put down the two gamepads and a PS4 console he had stolen from Nurkic. Originally, he wanted to have a one-on-one bullfight with An Jie in the game, but now, ...... Let's let this tough guy who has worked hard all night have a good rest.

The biggest difference between the playoffs and the regular season is that in order to come out on top, you need not just one win, but four games.

The NBA's best-of-seven rules make the playoffs a battlefield that extremely sharpens the will of players. Some people may be able to suddenly break out and lead the team to win one game, but in four games, in addition to factors such as outburst and luck, you don't have the perseverance and strength, and you can't persevere to the end.

LeBron James, the guy who has reached the Finals for 8 years in a row, knows the truth of this, so after losing a game at the Quickloan Center Arena, James is not discouraged.

He knows that in the playoffs, winning and losing is a common thing. Didn't the Cavaliers last year, after falling behind 3-1, reverse the Warriors to win the first professional sports trophy in Cleveland?

The situation now is far less difficult than it was back then. The Cavaliers are only temporarily behind, and the next game will be played on the home court of the Cavaliers.

No matter how strong the Trail Blazers are, he is also a single-core team with too few stars due to injuries. If Anjie collapses, the entire Trail Blazers will collapse.

Facing such a team, the Cavaliers don't have to panic at all. Maybe that's James' boldness, the boldness to stay calm after falling behind in the playoffs.

In the frenzied summer of the NBA Finals, time always flies by for the players of the two teams that survived in the end.

An Jie felt as if he had just come off the field yesterday, and today, the confrontation in the third game of the finals started again.

Despite losing their last game, the Cleveland fans are still enthusiastic.

Tyronn Lue didn't make any adjustments and continued to use a lineup of one big and four small to fight the Trail Blazers. The difference is that today, the Cavaliers no longer let An Jie attack, but appropriately added a lot of offensive pressure to An Jie.

James and Love's bag made Angel forced to pass the ball several times.The three-point shots of Smith and Korver, the two bench guards, made the Trail Blazers' second team bruised and swollen.

And the three guards, Wade, Rose and Thomas Jr., are not confined to the three-point line. They increased the number of times they broke through, and most of the time they were on Morris's side.

Although it is still not a little risky, the breakthrough of these three guys in turn also adds more scoring means for the Cavaliers. At the same time, it also made Morris, who was a little impatient, was sent off again because of the full number of fouls after continuing the Western Conference semifinals.

James finally played his leadership temperament today, and he twice forced layups against Anjie's defense. Even James is very difficult to score this kind of goal. After all, in this league, few people dare to play like this in front of An Jie.

Due to James' actions, the morale of the Cavaliers has also been greatly boosted. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers became more and more courageous. Even Wade, who was dragging a pair of scarred knees, frequently pierced the inside line.

The Trail Blazers relied on Anjie to bite the score, but until the end of the game, they failed to complete the comeback.

108-111, the Cavaliers relied on a slim three-point advantage to achieve a huge victory.

Although they were defeated by the Trail Blazers in the last game, the Cavaliers managed to keep a home court.

The series was tied 2-2 on aggregate, and every time reporters thought one side was about to dominate the series, the trend of the series would be changed in the next game. And this uncertainty is also one of the charms of the finals.

The two teams that can make it to the end are definitely the best teams in the entire league. Although An Jie has completed a sweep on the stage of the finals, the team that was swept was the Cavaliers. But that's always a small probability, and it's happened nine times in the NBA's decades-long history.

Normally, the finals are never easy for both sides. So the Cavaliers equalized the score again, which was also expected by many.

Finally, after six days in Cleveland and two games, Angel returned to Portland as he wished.

The fifth matchup of the finals continued at the Moda Center, which has Catherine and Tranquility.

Today, the Cavaliers played well in the first half, taking a 12-point lead at one point.

However, in the second half, for some reason, the Cavaliers' mistake of not being allowed outside the three-point line was committed again.

During this time, Anjie did not waste anything. He seized the time to rage under the basket, driving his teammates to make the 12-point margin disappear in the first quarter of the game.

In the fourth quarter, both sides were very tired when they returned to the same running line. The Cavaliers had to switch back to their usual style of play and let James pound the basket more often as a way to ease the scoring pressure.

And Anjie seems to be a little overwhelmed by the impact of James and the All-Star outside line.

His injured knee ached from exhaustion, and Anjie, who couldn't take a step, let the opponent win under the basket in the last few minutes of the game.

But fortunately, Morris stepped up at this moment. He took the initiative to share Anjie's defensive pressure, which brought the Cavaliers' offensive momentum to an abrupt halt.

An Jie, who got a respite, was also resurrected on the offensive end. In the last 36 seconds of the game, Anjie used a jump-up dunk and a foul to hit a three-pointer under the basket, allowing the Cavaliers to lose Portland by 3 points.

After the game, James reluctantly pounded the floor of the Moda Center. After all, he was so close to victory.

The two sides continue to chase each other, and neither can defeat the other in a row. Although the Trail Blazers got the match point, few people thought that the Trail Blazers, who narrowly beat the Cavaliers today, would be able to survive. The next game will be moved to Cleveland, and the Trail Blazers may not be able to end the playoffs early.

In today's game, the Trail Blazers won so hard that a group of experts predicted that the incomplete Trail Blazers were likely to collapse completely.

After all, in this era, it is difficult to win the championship just by relying on a single core to lead the team. Anjie only scored 26 points and 10 rebounds today, and his shooting percentage also dropped sharply compared to before. If Iguodala hadn't scored 21 points today, maybe the winner would have been the James Army.

Will he be able to continue to persevere even though he is tired? Everyone has to put a big question mark on this.

It's the middle of June, and the summer temperature has reached its climax. And the entire finals have officially entered the white-hot stage.

This time of the game is always the hardest. After more than 100 games in a season, the players' bodies have long been at their limit.

An Jie, who was covering his knees with ice packs in the locker room, leaned against the cabinet and closed his eyes.

An Jie didn't think about anything now, he just wanted to take a good breath. No championship was easy, and even the year the Cavaliers swept the Cavaliers to win the championship, the Trail Blazers didn't play easily.

No matter what, persevere, persevere, persevere......

An Jie's mobile phone slipped from his hand into the ice bucket, and the tired big man seemed to have fallen asleep......
