Cleveland, a small city in Ohio, may never have imagined that it would become the center of the world's attention from obscurity because of the arrival of one person.

LeBron. James, the strongest high school student of the year, joined Cleveland, who had been silent for many years, instantly saw hope. How important is James to the Cavaliers? Just look at the dismal attendance at the Quickloan Center Arena in the years James left, and you can see why one person can change the fate of a city. Irving was also the champion back then, but his influence was far less than that of LeBron.

This year, Cleveland is once again in the world's spotlight. Basketball fans and journalists from all over the world gather in this once-decaying city.

It's not about a world-changing event, the BA Finals, Anjie and James. These two factors are enough to become a "magnet" that attracts everyone to gather here.

It's not the first time Anjie has come to the Quickloan Center Arena, three years ago, he even completed a sweep of the Cavaliers in the Finals here. But now, although the opponent is still the Cavaliers, it is still James. But the situation is very different from back then.

The word small lineup, An Jie remembers that when he first joined the league, few people would mention it. In those days, if a team lost the inside, it meant that they were likely to lose the win as well.

Whether it is the Lakers during the two-game championship period or the Mavericks who defeated the Big Three, they all have one or more strong interior lines to support the stars behind them.

But now in 2018, the sport of basketball has changed. Take a look at the Cavaliers' starting center, Kevin. Lefou. Not to mention that Lefu is a defender, even if he plays inside, he should be a fake No. 4 position.

Now more than one team has given up the center position, and even the NBA All-Star vote has long erased the center position. Ironically, the most dominant player in the NBA today is precisely a center. It's just that in this year's finals, Anjie's dominance will be severely challenged.

As soon as the Trail Blazers' bus stopped, reporters frantically surrounded them with cameras and microphones.

The City of Cleveland has placed a large police presence in the Quickloan Center Arena, and if it weren't for them, the Trail Blazers players might not even be able to get out of the car right now.

An Jie was the first to get off the bus wearing sunglasses and a dark blue suit. Suddenly, the flashes of light were continuous. In fact, this is also the reason why Anjie chose to wear sunglasses.

Through the narrow passage opened up by the police for Anjie and them, the Trail Blazers players were able to enter the player tunnel of the Quickloan Center Arena without any problems.

An Jie took off her sunglasses and took a hard breath of Cleveland air. Here, as expected, there is a strong smell of gunsmoke......

The players didn't waste much time and went straight to the dressing room. Changing gears early and warming up early is the only plan Ricard had to show up early with the team.

Although they are away, in the away team locker room of the Quick Loan Center Arena, the players' jerseys and shoes have long been neatly placed in the cabinet by the staff.

As soon as An Jie opened the cabinet, he saw the No. 00 jersey he had chosen, as well as the center forward boots that made him a lot of money. He silently took off his suit and put on his jersey. From the moment he put on the black away jersey of the Trail Blazers, An Jie has already entered the fighting state!

During today's warm-up, Anjie clearly found that Smith and Derek. Rose's two guys don't seem to feel very good.

Needless to say, Smith is a nervous knife player. As for Derek. Rose, who shot an ultra-high 45 percent three-point percentage in the last game. But An Jie believes that Rose, who is not good at long-range shooting, cannot still play so well today.

The Cavaliers' ultra-high three-point shooting percentage is one of the main reasons why the Trail Blazers lost their home court. Today, AnJie can guarantee that he is still efficient on the inside. But the Cavaliers' outside group may have the confidence to ensure that they are still efficient outside the three-point line.

Warm-up, national anthem playing, player introduction, final deployment. A complete set of procedures has been walked down, and the third battle of the finals, which fans have been looking forward to, has finally begun.

Today, the Cavaliers are still using their small lineup. Love plays center and James plays number four. Wade played three, and Rose and Thomas Jr. partnered in the backcourt. Whether it's Taryn. Lue is also a fan of the Cavaliers, and they all seem to believe that such a super-small lineup can keep the Trail Blazers under constant pressure.

However, in the first goal of the opening game, An Jie used a slam dunk leaning on Lefu to announce his absolute dominance of the penalty area.

Since you dare to use a small lineup, I dare to score unscrupulously on the inside. Tyron. Lu plans to use such a lineup, and An Jie will let him see what price he needs to pay!

After the Cavaliers offense came over, they still passed the ball very quickly. The tandem between the four outside players is completely more complex than anyone could have imagined.

Eventually, James received Wade's breakaway from outside the three-point line and got a chance to make a shot.

"Big Bull" Morris is definitely one of the league's best rim protectors, but he is not good at one-on-one defense on the outside. This, perhaps, is also the biggest reason that limits his inability to get the best defensive player.

James was not afraid of Morris, who had blocked him, and he calmly shot outside the three-point line. However, Morris's jump height still exceeded James's expectations.

The guy "Big Bull" didn't have any reservations, he jumped with all his might as if he was blocking a layup, intending to block James' shot.

James couldn't help but lean his body forward, hoping to create a foul from outside the three-point line by Morris. Because he knows that under this kind of interference, he can't hit the shot!

"Doot toot!" The referee's whistle eventually sounded, and Morris yelled at the referee. But that still can't change the fact that James will get three free throws.

Although with free throws, James still scored "three points" as he wished. However, that doesn't mean that the Cavaliers will definitely be able to drive from beyond the three-point line today.

After that, Anjie scored the ball with a big hook in the middle distance. An Jie's exaggerated retro hook action seems to remind people of the former "sky hook" Jabbar. But what's even more terrifying about Anjie is that you can see the shadows of different super centers in him. Abdul-Jabbar, is just one of them.

The Cavaliers' defense against Anjie was undoubtedly defeated again, but Taryn. Fans at the Luhe Quick Loan Center Arena are not worried. Because of the offense, that's the main thing for the Cavaliers.

"Phew!" With a crisp sound jumping into the ears of the fans, Derek. Rose's open three-pointer knocked out of the box. Today, the Cavaliers' first official three-point shot hit an iron. According to the Chinese commentator Yu Jia, this does not bode well for the knights.

Think of the three-point shot as a regular offensive tool, or even a means to win. This is a style of play that teams across the league have been desperately trying to emulate in recent years. But not all teams can qualitatively improve their three-point shooting percentage.

After Rose hit the iron, Wade and James missed two more three-point shots in a row. It wasn't until the fourth time, Thomas Jr.'s shot, that this embarrassment finally changed. The Cavaliers' first four offenses were all from outside the three-point line.

8-6, although Anjie has won four consecutive offensive ends, although the Cavaliers have only just hit the first shot in the athletic battle. However, the score gap between the two sides is only two points. Perhaps, that's the scary thing about small lineups and three-point play.

Although now judging from the scene, the Cavaliers don't seem to be at a loss. But Ricard at least knows that the Cavaliers' three-pointers today will be difficult to string together like they did in the last game. As long as the game continues to go deeper and the Cavaliers' three-point shooting rate continues like this, it is only a matter of time before the Trail Blazers pull the score!

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers still led the Cavaliers by just four points. But Rickard, on the other hand, looked confident.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' three-point shot collapsed. Whether it's James or Wade, whether it's Rose or Thomas. and Jay. Claude. Whoever they are, they can't hit threes efficiently. On the Trail Blazers' side, the partnership of Nurkic and Anjie made the Cavaliers lose points faster.

In the second quarter, the score between the two sides was stretched to 12 points. At halftime, even though the cheerleading girls performed very well in the center of the field, the entire Quickloan Center Arena was still silent.

In the second half, a desperate Tarron. Lew brought up all the long-sealed Korver. No one expected Korver to save the team, but Korver played an excellent performance of 3-of-4 three-pointers in a single quarter!

That's the shooter, that's the three-point offense. The people who saved the team in the last game may not still be able to save the team today. And people who have been doing nothing before are likely to suddenly explode because of the heat of the hand.

Korver's shot gave the Cavaliers hope, but if anyone says that the Cavaliers can look up to Korver to crush the Trail Blazers, he's either crazy or a fool.

In the fourth quarter, although Korver's three-point shot was still magical. But the Cavaliers' entire low efficiency is not something Korver can pull back alone. On the other hand, the Cavaliers are not good offensively, and the defense is also beginning to collapse, giving the Trail Blazers a lot of opportunities.

In addition to the interior, the Trail Blazers' outside players also get a lot of room to shoot. Unlike the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers' outside team, which had been held back for a whole game in the last game, seized the opportunity today.

Cleveland fans were enthusiastically coming to the Quickfinance Center, but when the game was over, they were disheartened.

This is the score set by the Trail Blazers on the road at the end of the game.

Although Korver shot 6-of-8 from three-point range, he scored 20 points in the first half of the game. But Wade's 4 points. Rose's 11 points, Thomas Jr.'s 15 points and James' 22 points on 38 percent shooting all left the Cavaliers in an irreversible passivity early.

AnJie is undoubtedly in the spotlight today. 38 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks, his super stats are based, and what makes Anjie even happier is that the Trail Blazers got their wish to win.

In the last game, the Cavaliers won on a small lineup. And today, the Cavaliers also lost to the small lineup.

Anjie and his Trail Blazers managed to get their revenge in Cleveland and take the series lead again.

However, the competition between traditional basketball and modern basketball is obviously not over. The Cavaliers' hand can't be so hot all the time, and similarly, their hand can't be as cold as it is today.

It looks like this is another protracted battle that won't know the outcome until the end.
