Chapter 852: The Most Critical Showdown

George, who was watching the game live on TV at his home in Portland, jumped up with excitement, and although this guy's ankle was still inconvenient, George was still very excited about what Anjie had done.

Lillard yelled in the living room as if he was on the scene and Angel could hear his own cheers.

These two guys must be very eager to fight alongside Anjie now, and even some Cleveland fans are shocked by Anjie's heroic return, let alone the two teammates who have fought alongside him.

"We don't know exactly what Ann's injuries are, but it's clear that the guy is still a little limp when he walks. But once she runs, Ann endures the pain. If Ann can't win the O'Brien Cup today, the next game will be very bad for him and the entire Trail Blazers. Van Gundy is known for caring about the health of his players, and even though he hasn't coached Anjie for many years, Van Gundy still treats Anjie as his family.

If Van Gundy was coaching now, he might not have agreed to Anjie playing with an injury. But who knows? Van Gundy has never encountered this situation in his coaching career.

"It's okay, man. After Anjie came on the field, Morris stepped forward to ask with concern.

"Don't worry about me, keep an eye on the basket! At the last minute, buddy, there's no reason for us to lose the game!" Anjie patted Morris on the shoulder hard, allowing his good brother to focus on the game.

Although An Jie played with an injury, the Cavaliers will never be soft because of this. On the contrary, they will use Anjie as a breakthrough point on the offensive end!

Seeing that An Jie was still a little uncomfortable when he walked, James picked up the basketball and rushed directly to the inside.

"LeBron is ruthless, he wants to use Angel's little bit to complete the breakthrough!" Mike Brin shouted as he pointed to the court, and if it were in normal times, people would definitely think James is crazy. On the offensive end, no one wants to take the initiative to face Anjie.

But now, in a special situation, James' approach is indeed the best option for the Cavaliers at the moment. An Jie's momentum and perseverance are indeed worthy of respect, but in the competition, there are only winners and losers!

James broke through the equally exhausted Iguodala through the pick-and-roll, and as soon as he stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, he held the basketball with both hands and prepared to get up for a three-step layup!

James' holding of the ball makes people think that they are now watching the Super Bowl of football, not the NBA Finals. This guy had the basketball under his armpit, and no one could touch it.

"Whew...... Come on An Jie, hold on!" An Jie silently cheered himself up in his heart, seeing that James was getting closer and closer to him, An Jie held back the pain in his knee and quickly moved sideways!

"Ann moves very fast and is barely affected by the injury!Oh my God, how is this possible? He stuck to LeBron, but LeBron didn't seem to be going to give up!"

James was amazed by An Jie's defensive speed, but being able to suddenly burst out and move does not mean that An Jie can also jump quickly.

James grabbed An Jie with his shoulders and went straight to the basket to attack the frame! This time, James deliberately jumped high in order to take advantage of the inconvenience of An Jie's knee.

An Jie's judgment of the timing of the block is as accurate as ever, and the most surprising thing is that this guy's bounce height is no different from before!

In James's stunned eyes, An Jie gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and waved his arm vigorously.

The basketball in James' hand was vigorously fanned by An Jie, and even if James's fingers were strengthened, he couldn't control the basketball under such a huge force.

After An Jie landed, his legs couldn't support such a big inertia. I saw this tall No. 00 rushing to the bench, and then sat down on the ground.

Suddenly, the entire bench of the Trail Blazers rushed over and helped An Jie up. They can't afford to lose Anjie, they can't! Every move of this guy, every fall, is pulling the nerves of the rest of the Trail Blazers.

"Look at the huge reaction of the Trail Blazers bench! Now the heart of every Trail Blazers player is tied to An Jie!" Yu Jia was already very moved, this scene is really similar to Yao Ming ten years ago. The difference is that if Anjie wins the game, he will lift the O'Brien Cup for the fourth time!

"This guy is a monster!" James knows very well how uncomfortable his body will be after being injured, and he can cover himself cleanly when he is injured in such an important position as his knee, and on the whole earth, only An Jie may be able to do it.

"Be patient and seek your chances, be patient!" Tyronn Lue began to shout from the sidelines, and the current Cavaliers could not afford to waste their chances.

Because the ball was fanned out of bounds by Anjie just now, the Cavaliers got a second chance to attack. This time, James was obviously a lot more patient on the outside. He passed the ball a few times and finally won a chance for himself.

Through a series of pick-and-rolls and a subtle counterrun, James completely shook off Iguodala, who was sticking to his defense. Iguodala averaged 36 minutes per game in this series, though the last time he averaged that much playing was during his time with the 76ers.

This is more than Iguodala can bear, and naturally makes this guy a little weak to the end. Therefore, James was able to break through easily.

Another chance to break through, James looked at his outside teammates. Thomas Jr. is still being pestered by Napier, and although Rose has a little space, James really doesn't dare to let Rose shoot three-pointers at such a moment when everyone's physical strength is almost exhausted. It was Morris standing in front of Lefou, and it was not safe for him to fire from beyond the three-point line.

After looking around, James dispelled the idea of splitting the ball. This time, you'll have to do it yourself!

Angel still got rid of the entanglement with Tristan Thompson and stuck to the basket. James is not stupid, this time, he will not choose to collide with An Jie head-on.

He seems to be moving at a high speed, but he has actually figured out a plan to deal with it.

Just when people thought that James and An Jie were going to stage a collision like Mars hitting the earth, James suddenly picked up the basketball and jumped to the side, breaking through An Jie's defense with a jump!

"Boom!" The entire Quickloan Center arena erupted, and the fans all let out deafening cheers when they saw James pass past An Jie.

"It's a chance to overtake! If LeBron scores the ball, it will change the situation on the field!" Even a guy like Barkley, who never seems to be serious, is rarely serious today. This kind of big war has to make everyone awe-inspired, even a living treasure like Barkley.

"I'm going to win it once, too!" James roared inwardly as he tossed the ball to the basket.

At this moment, time seemed to be slowed down. The basketball in James's eyes is slowly rising, and this kind of goal that can be scored in the blink of an eye on weekdays has been flying for an extra long time today.

Basketball has risen to the highest point and is about to touch the rebound. James' heart was pounding, and he couldn't hear anything but his own heartbeat.

Just when the ball was about to be completed, the Chinese with the long arm stretched out appeared again. Before the basketball could fall, he slammed the orange ball against the rebound with the palm of his hand.

James' eyes were glazed over, and it was useless to pray to God. Because tonight, God put on the number 00 jersey!

"BOOM! Pegboard hat! Ann's reaction is really fast! His keen sense of smell to protect the basket makes a top star like LeBron only take risks! Two blocks in a row against James, Ann Jie stubbornly defended the restricted area! An Jie made a long pass in the backcourt, Napier received the ball and was about to counterattack! Foul! Derrick Rose flipped Napier to the ground! The Cavaliers were in a hurry, they began to panic! Portland Trail Blazers completely controlled the situation! Van Gundy used a series of passionate commentaries to make the already exciting game even more impressive.

After Napier was violated, he didn't wait for his teammates to pull him, but got up on his own, ran to Anjie, and hugged the tall guy violently. If it weren't for him, Napier might not have been able to play such an epic match for the rest of his life!

"Don't throw away the kid, just do it as you normally would!" Anjie touched Napier's head like a child, and then pushed him forward and pushed him to the free throw line.

Napier took a big breath, and with Anjie's encouragement, he was much more confident!

Under the earth-shaking boos of the Cavaliers fans, Napier withstood the pressure and steadily made both free throws. With 50 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers trailed by three points.

Tyronn Lue used up his last timeout, and after the timeout, the game was decided by the players on the field.

After the game restarted, the man who received the ball from the baseline became Thomas Jr. This guy still scored 20 points today despite the limited number of shots, which can be described as quite efficient. But if you lose the game in the end, it doesn't matter how good the performance is.

Thomas Jr. didn't mean to pass the ball, but beckoned to call for a pick-and-roll. Suddenly, Thompson and Love set up cover for Thomas Jr. from left to right.

Thomas Jr. quickly broke through in the direction of An Jie, and An Jie immediately changed his defense and chased after Thomas Jr., who was as fast as lightning.

But there is no doubt that Anjie, who has a leg injury, will not be able to keep up with Thomas Jr. no matter what. The guy, who is only 1.75 meters tall, scored a crucial goal before An Jie blocked it easily. The Cavaliers narrowed the gap to one point.

An Jie looked at the timer on the rebound, and the clock was still 38 seconds. If this offense is successful, the Trail Blazers will almost have victory firmly in their hands.

He began to limp forward, a scene that made everyone feel distressed when they saw it.

Napier controlled the ball outside the three-point line, but Thomas Jr. defended very tightly and did not give Napier any room to make a move.

An Jie saw that he couldn't catch the ball for half a day, so he ran outside the three-point line and took the initiative to attack. Napier hurried to pass the ball so as not to make a mistake himself.

After An Jie received the ball outside the three-point line, Lefu immediately forced himself to defend. Anjie turned his back to the basket and held the basketball with one hand, while Iguodala was running in the direction of Anjie, and the two seemed to want to play hand-to-hand cooperation.

Iguodala still ran into position under James's pull, he ran past Anjie, but he didn't get the ball, and Love couldn't see it.

Just when Lefu hesitated, An Jie, who was originally a hitter, suddenly put away the basketball and turned around, completely overtaking Lefu, who couldn't react!

"Damn!" James yelled, leaving Iguodala behind and chasing after Angel. An Jie also showed no weakness, dragging his injured leg and rushing to attack the frame.

In the three-second zone, Angel and James jumped almost at the same time. The result of this game seems to be produced in this duel between the two.

James raised his arms high and collided with Angel in the air. And his palm has already touched the basketball. Just now Anjie has blocked himself twice in a row, and of course James wants to return the color.

Anjie clung to the ball so that it would not be fanned off by James. He pressed down, hard.

In an instant, James was defeated by this tremendous force. His whole body suddenly loosened and he fell to the ground in embarrassment. And An Jie, under the illumination of the court lights, successfully dunked with both hands!

"Block James! Ann succeeded, he not only blocked LeBron twice, but also broke through LeBron's defense on the offensive end! Great leader, Ann's performance after returning from injury is incredible! There are 22 seconds left in the game, but the Cavaliers are 3 points behind! This duel between the two sides almost makes the end come to an end! Look at the expressions of the Cleveland fans, today is not a good day for them! Great Ann! He is only 28 seconds away from his fourth O'Brien Cup! Van Gundy picked up the microphone and climbed up to the podium.

An Jie glared at James who fell to the ground, at this moment, the former "little emperor" fell from the throne under the oppression of another guy. At this moment, he, who has always looked down on others, is being looked down upon by others.

James slapped the floor hard, and the Cavaliers didn't have a timeout. The most terrible result, perhaps...... Perhaps, it's really about to become a reality......
