Chapter 568: Steady, Leader!

"Tim Duncan! This guy almost killed the game! He's the patron saint of San Antonio, and the situation is very bad for the Trail Blazers!" Mike Brin was sweating his palms, and even the commentators were nervous, not to mention the suffocating atmosphere in the arena. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Damn, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let Duncanka get in place. Iguodala put his head in his hands after he left the game, and as the backbone of the team's attack and defense, Iguodala blamed himself for making such a mistake.

"Don't blame you Andre, come on, let's win the game again! The boss is right, we still have time!" An Jie clapped his hands vigorously, and everyone on the Trail Blazers team raised their heads as the guy roared.

In the past, it was Rickard who had to find ways to boost the morale of the team. But now, Anjie, who plays alongside the players, speaks more effectively than Ricard.

"To open up space for Ummachus, you pull out as much as you can and do off-ball blocks, Damion, Andre, Matthews, I want the three of you to look beyond the three-point line. If Ann can get the ball out, you have to hold it!" Ricard said as he wrote and drew on the tactical board.

"Play smarter and try to foul Duncan as much as you can. It's the final minute of the fourth quarter, and Duncan is definitely not as physical as you!Forcing him to foul and trying to get a three-point shot!" Divac also whispered softly in Angel's ear, and the entire Trail Blazers bench was very nervous.

Chasing 6 points in 43 seconds, don't look at the big difference, but in front of the Spurs, who are in the limelight, this is not an easy job.

Although the Spurs have been killed by Anjie several times, although the Spurs have been the background of Maddy's moments. But the defense of this traditional strong team is definitely not to be underestimated.

"The atmosphere was breathtaking! Spurs fans were making noise like crazy to disrupt the Trail Blazers' tactical set-up and put pressure on them. We are looking forward to An Jie being able to create a miracle again, the stage of the finals is right in front of him, and An Jie will not give up no matter what!" Yu Jia's voice trembled slightly, not to mention the fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV.

This group of people, who are no less committed to the game than the players, have unconsciously clenched their fists.

"Take the game to Portland and win one more game! Finals, we've got to go to the finals!" Popovich on the Spurs' side began to give the final touches.

It was at this moment that an electronic beep sounded at the end of the pause time. The referee urged the players from both sides to hurry up and get on the field, and everyone in the stands at the ATT Center stood up consciously.

"Let's go, guys! We've been through so much this season, how can we watch the finals float past us!" An Jie said, stretching out his five fingers.

Gradually, the Trail Blazers players put their hands on them one by one. They were next to each other, feeling the courage emanating from An Jie.

"Pioneer!"

The Trail Blazers continued to play in the starting lineup, while the Spurs replaced Danny Green with Ginobili. It looks like the morale of the Trail Blazers players is very high, and we can wait to see what kind of performance they can perform!" Yu Jia's shout excited Bill Wharton, who sat behind the CCTV commentary booth, the legend himself experienced countless thrilling moments as a player. But he didn't expect that his heart, which could no longer be stimulated, was still beating wildly at this moment.

Iguodala drew a cross on his chest and sent the ball from the baseline. Damion Lillard is moving fast, and time is now precious to the Trail Blazers.

As soon as he dribbled the ball past halfcourt, Lillard began to look for Anjie's position. And An Jie had already stood near the three-second zone, but he didn't expect that Duncan would actually use a front defense against himself!

If it's usual, someone goes around Anjie. Na Lillard only needs to increase the arc of the pass to allow Anjie, who has the advantage of height, to easily receive the basketball behind the defender and face the basket.

However, now because An Jie is standing in a deep position in the low post, there is no room for the basketball to increase the arc flight. If Lillard passes like he used to, I'm afraid the basketball will fly straight out of bounds.

There was no way, seeing that Lillard was a little undecided, An Jie immediately shook off Duncan's arm, intending to re-card the position!

Duncan is not stupid, of course he knows what An Jie wants to do. The aging "Stone Buddha" and An Jie launched a fierce entanglement, and the Trail Blazers' 24-second offensive time began to pass slowly under this situation.

When An Jie finally used his back to separate Duncan to death, there was not much time left to attack!

"Ball!" Anjie yelled, Lillard didn't dare to slack off, hit the ground and passed, the basketball dodged Leonard's outstretched arm, and flew steadily into Anjie's hand.

"Don't wrap up, don't wrap up!" Popovich reminded loudly from the sidelines, saying that time was now in the Spurs' favor, and he would rather let Anjie score two points than let the Trail Blazers get an opportunity from beyond the three-point line.

Anjie knew that the Spurs had cut off all passing routes. Popovich just wants him to play with Duncan alone, and even if he succeeds, it's just two points.

"Only on your own!" An Jie muttered silently in his heart, and after that, this tall Chinese suddenly exerted his strength and pushed Duncan back a big step!

"A terrifying instant explosiveness, Ann is really the perfect combination of a technical center and a power center!" O'Neal shook his fat head in amazement.

Before Duncan could stand firm at his feet, An Jie suddenly held the ball with both hands, relied on his strength to force him around, and secretly pushed Duncan with his elbow by the way.

Duncan was naturally unwilling to let An Jie score easily, so he slammed it up, and the two elders engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight on the inside. But after turning around, An Jie still relied on his better physical fitness and tough attitude, and jumped up and dunked under Duncan's strong defense!

"Boom!" the loud bang of the basket caused Morris to raise his arms and cheer in the stands.

"Toot toot!" the referee's hurried whistle made Spurs fans spread their hands in the stands in disbelief!

"YES! That kid did it!" Ricard jumped in excitement, and Divac sat on the bench and swung his fist hard.

"Ann dunks and hits, and he has to add free throws! Hit a three-point shot on Duncan's head, this is called a tooth for a tooth!" If it weren't for so many people looking at him, Yu Jia really jumped to the commentary platform and shouted.

Next, it was the Spurs' turn to chatter in the ears of the referees. They want to fight for their own benefit, and that's understandable. But Duncan, who had a dark elbow, knew that he had indeed committed a foul just now. An Jie, that stinky boy, can actually make himself suffer such a dumb loss in the 16-year Vertical Alliance!

Anjie stood at the free throw line, and a fat Spurs fan took off his T-shirt and danced behind the transparent rebound. And more people hit the balloon bats in their hands hard to make noise and messy images, disturbing Anjie's free throws.

An Jie took the basketball from the referee's hand, he felt the ball with both hands, and took a breath with his eyes closed.

Bend your knees, aim, raise your center of gravity, raise your arms, shoot, press your wrists, and flick your fingers. An Jie tried his best to keep himself from being affected by the surrounding environment, and made the entire shooting action completely.

But under such a huge interference, it is impossible for An Jie to be unhesitant. The basketball he threw hit the front of the basket, and when everyone was sweating, the basketball still climbed into the basket with vigor.

"After hitting three points successfully, the Trail Blazers successfully narrowed the difference, 28 seconds, and there is not much time left for Anjie!"

Parker began to slowly dribble the ball, and the Trail Blazers used full-court pressing defense. They didn't use tactical fouls, and Ricard decided to let his team defend this offense!

"Young and frivolous!" Popovich saw that Rickard was not going to foul, and immediately labeled the young marshal a bad one. It's true that young people are more daring than them, but isn't it a bit too hasty to bet on the team's efforts for a season?

Rickard, of course, knew he was gambling, and a tactical foul would have been a safer choice. But if you put the Spurs with consistent shooting at the free throw line, it's actually no different from surrendering. Besides, no matter how bad the Trail Blazers are, there is still a way back, even if he loses this bet, the Blazers have a tie-break to play. And for the Spurs, Popovich has no way back!

In the face of Lillard's ferocious close defense, the Frenchman actually felt a little difficult to advance with the ball. Looking up for someone, his teammates are also surrounded by Trail Blazers players.

Seeing Parker in trouble, Split blocked Parker at halftime, hoping that he could get rid of Lillard and move on.

The Brazilian is really good at blocking, and Lillard has a hard time getting around Split quickly. But how easy is it for Parker to break through? Anjie, who is standing next to Split, clearly tells Parker that traffic is prohibited here!

Split's pick-and-roll not only didn't give Parker a chance to advance, but instead brought an extra defender to Parker's side.

No way, Parker saw that Leonard got a little space, and he felt that passing!

Parker passed the ball out in extreme confusion, and Leonard spread his big hand ready to receive it. And Iguodala, who had been staring at Leonard from the sidelines, waited for an opportunity, and if it weren't for himself, the Trail Blazers wouldn't be in trouble now. He had to do something to make up for the mistakes he had made!

Iguodala lunged at Leonard recklessly. Leonard was also a little nervous when he saw Iguodala coming to steal. The two small forwards both jumped up and fought for the basketball.

Four hands pressed on the basketball, and the two of them hugged the basketball at the same time and landed at the same time. Of course, in such a situation, the two also fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.

Another floor fight! The referee looked at the two intently, for fear that he would miss any more details.

"Give me the ball!" Iguodala, who had already entered a bloodthirsty state, yelled, his waist and arms exerted force at the same time, and he snatched the basketball from Leonard's arms!

Seeing this, Ginobili did not hesitate to pounce on Iguodala's back, but Iguodala passed the ball while under the pressure!

Wesley Matthews stumbled to pick up the basketball, and Angel was in the three-second zone.

Now there is only one Split in front of Anjie, and after some scuffle, there are only a few seconds left in the game. The Trail Blazers are still three points away, but now there are no firepower points outside the three-point line for Anjie to pass the ball.

So An Jie, who received the basketball, didn't hesitate any longer, he jumped up violently and deliberately leaned towards Split, forcing a shot with great physical contact!

The referee's whistle sounded again, and Popovich had rushed to the referee. Anjie managed to shoot before the whistle, and the basketball looked to be flying right, and it was possible to score a three-point game for the second game in a row!

"Boom!" A crisp sound, An Jie's basketball shot out of the frame! Without hitting three points, An Jie only got two free throw shots!

"Damn!" Anjie cursed, with 2.2 seconds left in the game, and even if he hit both free throws, the Trail Blazers would still be one point behind.

After that, the Trail Blazers didn't have a timeout, and even if they used tactical fouls, they had to shoot beyond the backcourt to solve the problem.

"Get the ball in first!don't think about it that much!" Rickard yelled from the sidelines as Spurs fans began another round of their distractions.

An Jie gasped and looked around. He is only one step away from the finals, and he can't give the Spurs another chance to counterattack.

What should I do, what should I do now? An Jie's mind was racing fast, and he began to think about his strengths, what he could do with his advantages.

Height, arm span, and tacit understanding with teammates. These two things suddenly appeared in An Jie's mind, and An Jie immediately beckoned everyone to gather around him. The Trail Blazers players formed a circle on the court and seemed to say something.

Seconds later, the circle spread out and Angel walked to the free throw line. And the rest of the Trail Blazers, one by one, their faces were red with nervousness.

"What!?" Duncan and Popovich were a little worried, but it was also possible that An Jie was bluffing! 2.2 seconds only two free throws without a timeout, even if An Jie was really the MVP, he couldn't win the game!

Morris stopped making noise at the moment, he just looked at An Jie silently, and prayed in his heart for his good brother.

"Miracles, the NBA is full of miracles all the time!" Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping were not willing to give up, they still hoped that An Jie could bring victory.

In the first pen, the basketball was still bumpy, but in the end it still fell into the net. This guy's free throws have already been affected, and the fans at the ATT Center are confident that Anjie's second free throw will come home empty-handed!

"Oh my God. Rickard found that his heart was beating wildly, his whole body was trembling, he couldn't stop shaking!

"Whew......" An Jie took a breath, his idea was very bold, but the success rate was really bottomless in An Jie's heart.

Lillard also lightly hammered his chest, his eyes fixed on An Jie, for fear that he would not be able to react later.

"Knock knock" An Jie heard his heart beating fast, but he couldn't panic, he was the leader of the team, no matter how crazy the plan was, he had to hold it down.

After that, Anjie started making free throws. But as soon as Ann made the move, Popovich and Duncan noticed something was wrong.

Anjie's shot was not a standard shooting action, but more like deliberately pushing the ball to the basket. For a person like An Jie with solid basic skills, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake?

That's right, of course, Anjie would not make such a low-level mistake. Push to make free throws, and only O'Neal will do that. An Jie deliberately pushed the basketball out, and the basketball accurately hit the front of the basket and missed the free throw!

The ATT Center was instantly boiling, and fans cheered for the Spurs to drag the series into a tie-break.

However, just as they were happy, the basketball quickly rebounded to the free throw line! Angel jumped up to grab the basketball before everyone else, and passed the ball to the right three-point line near 45° before he landed. And that place, Lillard has long been ambushed here!

"Stop him!" Popovich shouted like a bolt from the blue, and Tony Parker immediately relented and blocked Lillard.

Lillard received the ball, took a step back, and faced the menacing Parker, he was not nervous, because he had already been nervous when Anjie made a free throw.

The first-year rookie didn't blink, and when he jumped to the highest point, he made a steady shot.

The basketball went over everyone's heads, and under the stunned gaze of nearly 20,000 people in the audience, and under the wide open mouths of the commentators, the ball ......

"Brush!"

The rebound emitted a heart-wrenching red light, and the ball went hollow into the net!
