Chapter 766: Accident
An Xiang happily opened his little hand, as if he could touch the white clouds in the sky. This little guy sat on An Jie's neck and giggled. Looking at the world from my father's point of view, it seems that everything has become dwarfed.
After taking An Xiang to play tired, An Jie put down his son and held him in his arms. In the blink of an eye, this little guy has grown so big. Sometimes, time flies.
The day of cutting the umbilical cord by himself seems to be yesterday, and now, An Xiangdu is almost a year old.
"This kid grows really fast, if you want me to say, he will definitely be as tall as you in the future!" Ricard, who came to Anjie's house as a guest, looked at the child in Anjie's arms and said with a smile.
"Who made his parents have such good genes? If you want me to say, this kid will definitely be a center forward in the future. ”
"What if An Xiang doesn't like to play basketball?"
"He's going to love it, absolutely! I love basketball, and this kid must have inherited it all. An Jie's eyes were full of joy when he looked at his son.
The Western Conference Finals are finally over, and Anjie, who played an average of 42 minutes per game in the last two games, finally got a respite.
The big battle with the Warriors really made Anjie and the team physically and mentally exhausted. Thankfully, this year, the league gave the players six days off between the Western Conference Finals and the Finals. Anjie can also take advantage of this opportunity to temporarily relax and relax her tired body and mind. After all, playing an average of 42 minutes per game, that's no small amount.
But as long as Angel and Ricard are together, even if they are resting, they will inevitably talk about things at work.
No, as he spoke, the master and apprentice began to discuss basketball again.
"Did you watch the Cavaliers' 4-0 sweep of the Hawks' series?" Riccard asked An Jie as he looked away from An Xiang.
"Look, the Cavaliers, it seems to be a lot better than they were in the regular season. LeBron's guy, now he won't be in the regular season at all. He saved all his energy for the playoffs. An Jie recalled the picture of James doing whatever he wanted on the court, and couldn't believe that this James was the James who played decently during the regular season.
"LeBron is a smart guy and extremely utilitarian. He'll do whatever it takes to win the O'Brien Cup, even if it comes at the expense of his regular season record. Rickard wasn't surprised by this, having watched the O'Brien Cup slip away from his eyes for the second year in a row. In other words, Rickard is James, and he will also be driven crazy by Angel to be utilitarian.
"Ahh This guy didn't know that there were two people in Portland who were talking about themselves.
Unlike the relaxed mood of the Trail Blazers, the training on the Cavaliers' side has begun in full swing. After all, the group of guys had a few days off after sweeping the Eagles 4-0.
Now that they're rested, they're going to have to get into the game before the Trail Blazers. If even James is training hard, then there is no one else on the Cavaliers team who can make a difference.
Under James's urging, no one can be lazy. "Little Emperor" knew that if he wanted to bring a championship to Cleveland, he would never be able to do it alone.
While improving his own form, James must also ensure that the state of his teammates can improve at the same time. Against a team like the Trail Blazers, they can only win if the entire Cavaliers are well.
Kelly Irving, the new generation of guards, is arguably the most serious training among all the Cavaliers and the guy James admires the most.
Irving played the playoffs for the first time and rushed directly to the end with the team. This is a very rare experience for this young man wearing the number two shirt. Now, due to Love's injury and absence from the playoffs, the burden on Irving is infinitely heavier. But Owen himself doesn't seem to feel too much pressure.
The championship seems to be really in front of your eyes. Owen always reminds himself to work harder, harder! Only in this way can he contribute to the team in the next key battles!
"Take a break, Carry. Sweating profusely, James walked up to Owen, who was using dumbbells. With a single force, he helped Owen lift the dumbbells all the way up and put them on the shelf.
"Whew, it's so enjoyable!" Owen, who was lying down and lifting a barbell, slowly sat up and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel around his neck.
Seeing this, James sat down next to Owen. Looks like James is ready to talk to his good helper.
"How does it feel?"
"I can't wait!" Owen turned his head and smiled handsomely. The vigor of young people is so good.
"It's good to be excited, but don't get too excited. We didn't have much trouble going all the way through the playoffs. But the Trail Blazers are different, this group of guys is not an ordinary opponent. They are stronger than any team in the East. So, you have to be careful, because it's not an easy game by all. James didn't say much to Irving, after all, he couldn't put too much pressure on his good helper.
"I know LeBron, and I'm going to give it my all. Let's bring a championship to Cleveland!" Irving shouted, causing all eyes to be on him.
A few years ago, if Owen had said something like that, people would have said that this arrogant kid didn't know what was going on.
But look at it, when James and O's two top picks are playing for Cleveland. Even if Lefu is not there, the championship seems to be really possible.
The Cleveland Cavaliers waited a full 45 years for a championship. When the day came, the Cleveland people thought the championship was not far away. It's true that James did lift the O'Brien Cup, but that honor belonged to Miami, not Cleveland.
Now, the pride of the sky is back, with another champion and a stronger squad, and they are attacking for the O'Brien Cup.
The Portland Trail Blazers became the biggest obstacle for the Clevelands. Five days later, at the Quickloan Center Arena. The clash between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers, James and Anjie is about to begin.
Owen is ready to move, and in the finals, there is finally this young defender!
The decisive moment has arrived, and Cleveland people are eager to fulfill the dream they've been dreaming for more than 40 years. Anjie and the Trailblazers, on the other hand, are eager to establish another dynasty in the Alliance.
The-for-tat two sides meet again, compared to the finals six days later, it will definitely be quite exciting!
※※※
Kyrie Irving's ball-handling skills have left a deep impression on Lillard, and in today's game, Lillard has been deceived by Irving more than once. This time, Lillard was engrossed in staring at the basketball in Irving's hand, for fear that he would miss something again.
Owen's face still has confidence, and "Uncle Drew" is like a bullfight on a street court at the moment, easily and skillfully doing exaggerated fancy moves.
Irving continued to dribble under his hips, and Lillard's center of gravity shifted with the alternation of Irving's dribblers.
Suddenly, Irving opened his arms, as if intending to break to the left! Lillard didn't hesitate and immediately took a step sideways. This time, he saw it!
Just after Lillard moved sideways, Irving used a large arc to change direction in front of his body and break through in the opposite direction. Irving's change of direction and acceleration were done in one go, and Damion Lillard, the number zero guard, was once again played by "Uncle Drew" as a fool!
After Owen broke through, he did not panic in the face of An Jie, who pounced. Although Irving's shooting touch is not as perverted as Curry's, it can be regarded as very top-notch.
He suddenly came to a sudden stop before An Jie could fully pounce, and there was a screeching sound between his basketball shoes and the hardwood floor.
Owen jumped high and faced An Jie, who also jumped to block, and shot at his own pace unhurriedly.
The basketball flew to the basket with An Jie's fingertips, and An Jie, who was sweating profusely, immediately turned around. It's a pity that he only saw the Nets flooding with white waves, and Irving's pull-up jump shot hit accurately!
"Kyrie Irving played Damion and scored a goal on Ann's head, this guy is in amazing shape today! Although it is the first time to play in the Finals, Irving's desire to win the game and his performance in the game make him look extremely mature! Maybe this year, with Irving's assistance, LeBron may really be able to beat Ann!" The local commentator in Cleveland sprayed spit excitedly, this is not their partiality, but Irving's performance today is really eye-catching.
Although James and Anjie are the protagonists of this game, Irving's performance at least overpowered Lillard.
Anjie obviously felt that the game was very difficult, although Anjie respected Wade very much, but had to admit that when James's helper changed from Wade to young Irving, the game became more difficult than last year.
After Owen scored that goal, the score was tied at 98. There is only one minute left until the end of the game.
The first game of the NBA Finals was played so anxiously that fans were hooked. The Cleveland people cheered even more, because the performance of Irving and James gave them the dawn of winning the championship!
Love's injury did bring a big blow to the Cavaliers, but Irving's excellent performance completely filled the Cavaliers' disadvantage in the incomplete lineup.
Again, Lillard took possession of the ball and went on offense. From now on, every attack will have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
From the ball control, it can be seen that Lillard's movements are obviously much stiffer. This guy isn't as calm as Owen because he's more nervous than Owen right now!
Lillard raised his hand for a pick-and-roll, and Angel and Aldridge both stepped up. It seems that this offense, Lillard is the endpoint!
Like Lillard, Irving's defense is one of his weaknesses. At the last minute, choosing to attack the weak points of the opponent's defense seemed to be a very correct choice. What's more, the Cavaliers' interior defense is also very hollow.
But Irving was extremely excited and in great shape today, and in such a situation, Irving is usually able to make up for his lack on the defensive end with positivity.
Lillard broke through quickly, and immediately after passing the pick-and-roll, Lillard made a pull-up jump shot from mid-range.
"It's too rushed!" Rickard frowned, Lillard could have broken through to the basket, but he was impatient and chose to make a pull-up jumper.
Lillard thought that Irving had been completely thrown off by himself, but in the next second, Irving's face appeared in Lillard's field of vision!
"No!" Lillard had barely shot the basketball, and he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, in the next second, Irving blocked Lillard's key shot in the usual way of Anjie!
"Beautiful cover! Oh my God! Kyrie Irving, he doesn't know what a great thing he's done!"
With the narrator's yelling, Owen began to land. He was now so focused on chasing the flying basketball that he didn't care about whether the place where he was going was safe or not.
As soon as the soles of Owen's feet touched the ground, he felt himself slip. In the heat of competition, it is always inevitable that the wooden floor will be stained with sweat. Although there are always a few staff members standing next to the court in NBA games who are ready to go on the court to wipe off the sweat, in the heat of the game, no one can guarantee that the sweat will be wiped off in time. And this time, these sweats cost the life of the Cavaliers!
Due to the unsteady landing, Owen's already injured knee suddenly twisted! He suddenly fell to the ground, unable to chase the basketball that had been fanned by himself.
"Oh, no...... No!" Seeing that Owen fell directly after landing, James roared and immediately rushed to Owen's side. Love has already been reimbursed for the season, and James doesn't want God to play this joke on himself for the second time!
An Jie watched the scrambled Cavaliers from the side, and took two breaths. He thought that Owen would be fine, but the picture after that made An Jie stunned.
He saw Owen walk off the court, supported by his teammates and the team doctor. But he didn't go to the bench to rest, but ...... Instead, he walked straight into the players' tunnel!
"Oh my God, it won't be!" Although the Cavaliers are Anjie's enemies, although Irving has caused a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers. But An Jie will never gloat in front of other people's injuries.
Kyrie Irving disappeared into the entrance to the tunnel and Anjie looked at James again. The painful expression on James' face really left a deep impression on An Jie.
Maybe sometimes, God is so fond of playing tricks on people......
