Chapter 780: The Strongest Opponent
James held his head in remorse, if he had known that this would happen, he would not have reached out to pull it anyway. The game is played so far, and every point difference will make the game more difficult.
An Jie walked to the free throw line, but was pushed back by the referee on duty. "Changed your clothes. ”
The referee pointed to An Jie's jersey, and An Jie remembered that his jersey was ripped out of a hole and was still hanging on his body.
"It's very rare for a jersey to be torn in an NBA game. From this, you can also imagine how huge the pull between Ann and LeBron just now. Although the third quarter of the game has just begun, the confrontation has entered the white-hot stage!"
As Mike Brin spoke, the stadium staff had walked out with a brand new Trail Blazers No. 00 away jersey. Anjie took the jersey from the bench and replaced the torn one.
When An Jie's upper body was naked, all Cleveland fans were shocked by An Jie's strong muscles and sharp lines.
This Chinese, who was as thin as a bamboo pole at the beginning, has now become one of the strongest guys in the alliance. It's no wonder that he can confront LeBron without falling behind, although Anjie's body is not as perverted as O'Neill back then, it is definitely top-notch.
After a hiccup, Anjie returned to the free-throw line. James has been praying in his heart, praying that Angel's penalty will not hit. It's just a pity that God didn't hear the sound from the city of Cleveland.
An Jie glanced at James when he retreated after the goal, and the fierce expression in his eyes seemed to say, "What are you capable of, take it all out!"
It seems that in the second half of the game, Anjie and James, will turn this stadium into ruins......
After being blocked twice in a row by Anjie and successfully hitting a three-pointer, the morale of the Cavaliers players has plummeted. Some of them are already doubting whether James can lead the team to victory.
James also knows that at this critical moment, the Cavaliers, who lack stars, must rely on themselves to save. At this moment, James felt as if he was back in 2007.
That year, it was also the Finals, and he was also the only leader of the Cavaliers. And their opponents, the San Antonio Spurs, are just as strong as the current Trail Blazers.
It was James' first time playing in the Finals, and that was the first time James smelled the O'Brien Cup. It's just a pity that the single-handedly Cavaliers were beaten 4-0 by the mature and stable Spurs, and James's championship dream was shattered.
Duncan, the old guy, said the classic words to James after the game: "The future is yours." "If Duncan had known that a guy named Anjie was coming to the league next season, maybe he wouldn't have said that to James......
James shook his head, Duncan was old and his enemies had changed completely. Maybe he would have been swept 4-0 back then, but now, James will never allow such a thing to happen!
Just as Iguodala was about to step forward to pull out the ball, James, who had been silent, suddenly got up!
The two men rushed in completely opposite directions, and James easily passed Iguodala and stepped into Anjie's territory once again.
This time, James didn't rush to jump shots and didn't continue to break through. Instead, they watched left and right, looking for the best opportunities.
An Jie saw that James suddenly stopped, and he didn't dare to continue to pounce. Although Russian center Mozgov has no presence on the offensive end, Anjie can't just throw people under the basket.
While everyone was waiting for James to react further, LeBron James, who paused, shot instead.
An Jie didn't make up for the defense, which was a rare opportunity for James! This time, James was full of confidence. He believes that this offense will definitely be able to break the scoring drought of the Cavaliers in the second half!
James lifted the ball over his head and leaned back slightly in the air. Just when James was just vacating, he saw that An Jie had withdrawn from the basket and was rushing to his shooting position.
"It's too late. James continued to shoot, and from now on he had to make sure every shot was accurate for the Cavaliers to have any hope of overtaking the score.
However, when James shot the basketball, the familiar voice sounded again. This sound made the originally powerful Quick Loan Center Arena instantly silent!
"Ann rushed out of the penalty area quickly! Oh my God! Everyone, including myself, thought that this defense was irremediable! But Ann, his defensive sense is so sharp! Three consecutive blocks of LeBron James, Anjie, only Anjie in the whole league can do such a thing!" Jeff Van Gundy looked at the court with his mouth wide open, and Anjie's speed when he made up the defense was completely beyond the limit of what a big man should have.
In fact, it was precisely because James wanted to win the game on his own that Anjie's competitive spirit was greatly stimulated.
A crippled Cleveland Cavaliers are still trying to cause us trouble? What are you kidding?
After Anjie's block was completed, James looked at the front court in despair. Over there, Lillard didn't know when he was already running with the ball.
Facing the tough and fierce Australian defender Dellavedova, Lillard was not timid. He shook off the defense with a nice European step and scored with an easy layup.
was scored by the Trail Blazers again, and the point difference had already become double digits. James looked at the embarrassed Mozgov, the Russian center who could once again only pick up a basketball from the hardwood floor. Even James couldn't help but shake his head. This time, there was no flame in his eyes!
The "slaughter scene" created by An Jie a few minutes before the third quarter of the game became a microcosm of the second half of the game.
Cleveland fans have been hoping that James can clear all the obstacles and finally bring the team out of the envelope. But this expectation did not come until the last second of the fourth quarter.
When the tired James shot again under Batum's tight defense, the sweaty guy suddenly went limp.
James got down on one knee, and at this moment, it was very difficult for the tired James to stand up.
Robin Lopez grabbed the rebound, but no Cavaliers player came up to scramble. Some of them walked up to James with concerned inquiries, while others walked straight to the bench.
Robin, holding the basketball, looked at the timer on the rebound, and the game was over with 10 seconds left. But the Cleveland Cavaliers, have given up the game!
"Beep~~~~~~"
The electronic beep that represented the end of the game sounded so harsh to James at the moment.
The game is over, this game that James must not lose, under the perverted play of An Jie, he finally lost it.
106-95, An Jie not only won, but also won very thoroughly, with an 11-point difference, so James didn't even have a chance to turn the tide.
James covered his face, he didn't want people to see tears rolling in his eyes.
Although the Finals are not over yet, James knows that it will be very difficult for the Cavaliers to win the next two games in Portland.
This is also the first time that James feels that his opponent in the finals is too strong......
With 26 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, Anjie once again handed over an all-round statistic. It is worth mentioning that 3 of Anjie's 5 blocks were obtained from James's head. Blocking James 3 times in a game is not something everyone can do.
When the Cavaliers were still struggling in the East, people said that James' ability to dominate the game was too strong. But look at it now, even James, who is "too strong" in the mouth of fans, can only fall under An Jie, and he has no power to fight back......
"Whew. James sighed, and Smith and Tristan Thompson's hands got back on their feet.
"Go back to the locker room and take a breath while you can catch your breath. Tomorrow we're going to Portland, and we're going to have a good time. James patted Smith and Thompson on the back, if it weren't for the sake of stabilizing the morale of the army, James really didn't want to talk to anyone right now. The No. 23, who reigns supreme in Cleveland, lowered his head and walked alone towards the players' tunnel.
2-0, the mighty Angel, has pushed James and the Cavaliers to the brink. Now, with a little more force, the entire Cavaliers will fall off a cliff.
The picture of James being blocked by Anjie again and again has been lingering in his mind. Why, it is so difficult to meet in the finals for three consecutive years and want to win Anjie once?
The powerful Anjie did not let James, who led the team with a single core, succeed. Sure enough, you can't defeat this horrible guy on your own.
Unlike James's loss, after the game, Anjie's mood was extremely excited.
This guy and his teammates hit their chests hard and high-fived hard. Those who don't know may still think that the Trail Blazers have won the championship?
With two games to go, Anjie is only two games away from creating a three-game dynasty!
Looking at the huge spotlight above his head, An Jie also seemed to see a bright future.
The trip to Cleveland has come to an end, and what Anjie wants to do is to sweep the Cavaliers directly and lift the O'Brien Cup on her doorstep.
But LeBron, this guy's nightmare will continue......
