Chapter 778: You and Me Fight

"Don't make a mistake! LeBron, that guy won't admit defeat so easily! If we use this state to face the Cavaliers in tomorrow's game, everyone is waiting to lose!"

Anjie's yelling spread through the empty training ground, and Riccard and Divac didn't speak, just watching from the sidelines. They know that this is not the moment for the coach to intervene.

The training ground was very quiet, and almost everyone except An Jie had their heads bowed. These guys are like children who have made mistakes, and they don't dare to look directly into An Jie's eyes.

A few minutes ago, the team had a confrontational training. A casual pass from Lillard and a casual shot from Meyers Leonard finally made Angel unbearable.

After winning the first game, and now the Cavaliers have lost two giants. The Trail Blazers were very relaxed when they were training.

They believe that the Cavaliers, who are left with James, are no match for the Trail Blazers at all. Everyone can easily practice casually, and they can win the O'Brien Cup.

On the first day of training, An Jie held back. He hopes that his teammates will be able to treat well the next day. But today, the attitude of the players is more relaxed than yesterday. This made An Jie's emotions finally explode.

So, there was the scene in the stadium just now. An Jie suddenly took off his mask and headband, stood in front of everyone, and scolded.

Anjie knows James, and he knows that James is a guy like himself. The situation of being isolated will not make James surrender, but will make him stronger and more dangerous. Because if Lillard and Aldridge are injured, Anjie will also not give up, but will work harder. James, this guy must be the same!

There was silence on the court, and no one dared to stand up and refute An Jie. Whether it's the unruly Robin Lopez or the old Miller who is old enough to be Anjie's elder, they just stand there with their heads down. For the fault is indeed in them.

As the leader of the locker room, An Jie rarely gets angry. But this does not mean that when he is angry, others dare to act rashly.

"It's the Grand Final, guys. If we slack off in the Finals, it's all over! Our 74-win record has made it easy for us to crush the Warriors out of the West...... Everything we have done this year will come to naught!" An Jie's tone softened, but it was still tough.

"Let's work hard, guys, even if the Cavaliers only have LeBron as an arrow figure now, they are not as easy to deal with as you think! Everyone is desperate for the championship at this point! For the championship, the Cavaliers will definitely fight with us! If we take the current state to face the battle, I am afraid that in the end, it will be us who will become a laughing stock!" An Jie wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, put on a mask and headband, and didn't say anything more.

'We'll get back into training, Ann. It was at this point that Lillard took the initiative to step up and admit his mistake.

"That's right, boss, I promise to play well during the game!" Mayers Leonard said cautiously.

After An Jie put on his mask, he smiled at his teammates in front of him. "Come on guys, let me feel your power!"

"Don't regret it, Ann!" Robin Lopez flexed his muscles, looking like this guy was coming for real.

Ricard and Divac looked at each other and smiled, this Trail Blazers team has been deeply imprinted with Anjie. Without such a leader, the Portland Trail Blazers would never be where they are today.

Just when the outside world was still hyping up the news of Irving's knee surgery, James's knights and Anjie's trailblazers had already begun to prepare hard for the next day's fight.

James must keep a home court for the Cavaliers, and Angel knows how important the next game is for James.

Everyone thought that the balance of victory in this series had tipped in turn, but only Angel and James knew that the third war between the two of them was far from over......

※※※

If Angel hadn't been traded, would it have been the Oklahoma City Thunder who now ruled the NBA? If Rose stayed healthy, would the youngest MVP be the active No. 1 point guard?

So you see, where in the world are there so many ifs. Injuries and all sorts of unpredictable factors are part of the NBA game.

Owen's injury has become a fact, and it no longer makes sense to dwell on things like "if Owen hadn't been injured".

James is a smart man, and he knows the truth. Therefore, he will not complain, now that the season reimbursement of Irving and Love has become a fact, then what James has to do now is not to complain, but to accept the reality and then solve these problems!

How can this problem be solved? Quite simply, James will use his performance to fill the void left by Irving and Love as much as possible.

So today, in the second game of the 2014-2015 NBA Finals, fans all over the world saw a real all-round LeBron James.

"LeBron is holding the ball from beyond the three-point line, and now the Cavaliers have very little else to attack with the ball. But that's okay, LeBron will take care of everything!" Kenny Smith stared at the court for fear of missing a single detail.

Facing Iguodala with open arms, James knew that the most direct hard-punching style of play was useless. Iguodala is not afraid of physical confrontation, and if he is held back, Anjie will have a better chance of succeeding in his defense.

Thinking of this, James, who was originally holding the ball tightly with both hands, began to dribble with one hand. He clapped the basketball with one hand and gestured with the other to direct his teammates to run.

As if they had heard the commander's order, the Cavaliers immediately ran along the tactically arranged route.

James nodded in satisfaction, and then suddenly the ball flew past Iguodala's shoulder and headed straight for Shambaugh, who was lying in ambush in the bottom corner.

Tristan Thompson had already set up an off-ball block on Matthews' return route, and Matthews had no choice but to bypass the "wall". However, the time Matthews used to get around the pick-and-roll was enough for Shambaugh to take it in stride.

Shambaugh's shooting has never been consistent, but this kind of big open opportunity is still no problem for Shambaugh.

The basketball slammed into the net, and Shambaugh jumped up happily and shook his fist. What about LeBron James? He just smiled. This guy knows that this battle is still a long way off.

"Another assist, LeBron can be said to have taken care of all the affairs of the Cavaliers today. Anything, LeBron will do it himself. It's no wonder that if he doesn't stand up now, who else can the Cavaliers rely on? 53-50, the Trail Blazers only lead by three points, and the Cavaliers are still clinging to the score!

After Shambaugh's goal, Anjie immediately ran to the front. Maybe others will think that the Trail Blazers played easily, but in fact, with An Jie taking the lead, the entire Trail Blazers team played very actively and cautiously.

If it weren't for Anjie's anger on the training ground yesterday to remind his teammates, it might be the Trail Blazers who are in a backward position now.

As soon as Anjie stepped into the three-point line, Russian center Mozgov immediately posted it. Don't let An Jie receive the ball comfortably, don't let An Jie turn comfortably, and don't let An Jie shoot comfortably...... In short, to make Anjie uncomfortable all the time, this is the task that David Blatter gave to Mozgov.

However, every time Mozgov sticks to Anjie, the uncomfortable person often becomes himself.

Angel's ability to seize space is unmatched by Mozgov. No matter who starts hand-to-hand combat with An Jie, they will be tired enough. What's more, this person is still Mozgov, who has a soft style of play.

Anjie was not distracted by Mozgov's pressing at all, and he hit his ass and back twice, and he was about to get to the position near the three-second zone.

Anjie began to raise his hand to ask for the ball, Lillard did not hesitate, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew straight to the restricted area.

James picked up speed and was about to intercept the pass halfway through. But Lillard's pass was not slow, and in the end, the orange orb still dodged James's outstretched palm and came to Anjie's hand.

Like James, Anjie also played an all-round performance today. So when Anjie was holding the ball, the whole Cavaliers were nervous. This tall guy's passing is as deadly as his score!

Just as everyone was nervously following their counterparts, for fear that they would receive a pass from An Jie. Even James immediately rushed to Iguodala just in case.

Right at this time. An Jie sat back hard. Mozgov, who was not ready for this impact, fell directly to the ground in embarrassment!

Suddenly, An Jie was faced with an empty basket. He didn't pay attention to Mozgov, who was still on the ground, the guy jumped on the spot, put the ball behind his head with both hands, and then slammed it into the basket!

Mozgov was so frightened that he suddenly got up, for fear that Anjie, who had landed on the ground, would step on him. Anjie wasn't that lacking in virtue either, he hung from the basket until Mozgov left.

"Can anyone tell me how to defend this!?" Cavaliers coach David Blatter pulled his bow tie with his waist crossed in frustration. He has used the most rigorous methods to get Mozgov to execute, but Anjie is still unstoppable.

Perhaps, that's why Angel was able to defeat LeBron James in the first two years.

"I won't budge LeBron, never!" Anjie said quickly to James as he walked past him.

James didn't respond, but ran to the baseline, ready to catch the ball.

"I never thought you'd give in, I just wanted to beat the strongest!" James muttered to himself as he caught the basketball and pushed toward the thorny ground again.

No one thought that James would play so hard without Irving. No one thought that in the absence of Owen, An Jie would play so seriously.

The half-time game is coming to an end, and it is still unclear which of James and Anjie will be better or worse. Both men played all-around performances and both led the team all the way.

The battle between Anjie and James will never be so simple to determine the winner or loser. This wonderful round is just a microcosm of the whole series.

There has to be someone to fall, and neither Anjie nor James wants this person to be themselves.
