"Ann, Ann, you had a triple-double of 26 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in the first game of the Finals, do you have anything to say about that!?"

"With LeBron's 18 points and Dwayne's 11 points, do you think the two of them are completely limited by the Trail Blazers' defense?"

"Coach George Ricard, can you tell us about your tactical thinking, and how did you manage the team during the days of closed training?"

After the game, the scene was in an uproar. The knights, who were originally the favorites to win, had already "fled" the scene in embarrassment. And the Trailblazers, who were belittled by the media before the game, were surrounded by reporters who slapped themselves.

Those guys who yesterday were categorically saying that the championship belonged to the Cavaliers have become big believers in the Trail Blazers today.

An Jie originally wanted to rush back to the locker room, but he found that there were more and more reporters around him, and a dense row of microphones was held high. If An Jie didn't say anything, he might be stuck here for the night.

'My triple-double wasn't a big deal, the team won and that's all that matters. An Jie replied with a smile, and some reporters took the initiative to get out of the way. Sure enough, his path forward instantly became a lot easier.

In this way, under the interviews and filming of countless media around the world, An Jie finally walked into the player's tunnel. The tall No. 00 center let out a big breath, and the nerves that had been tense since before the start of the game finally relaxed.

An Jie walked towards the locker room while thinking back to what had just happened. The Trail Blazers, who led an incomplete lineup, defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, and everything just now really happened.

Closed workouts, $500,000 fines, and the efforts of Lillard and George...... None of this was in vain.

An Jie smiled and pushed open the door of the locker room. By this time, the rest of the Pioneer Team was already waiting inside. As soon as An Jie came in, all the players hugged An Jie and hugged the guy tightly in the center.

Sweat, hard work, exhaustion, and laughter are all combined at this moment. What about Ricard, he didn't get involved in the frenzied celebrations of the players. The guy just leaned back in his chair calmly, the corners of his mouth still slightly raised.

The pressure on Ricard has been too great these days. Punishment from the alliance, pressure from the boss to trust himself. If Ricard can't win, he'll be spurned overnight.

Now, the burden on this guy is a little lowered. This rare vacuum period is for the coach who has unknowingly gray hair to take a breath......

While the series would have to be won four games to win, at least the Trail Blazers made the world known. They're not so vulnerable!

※※※

The day after the match, fans who couldn't get enough of it began to have a heated discussion online. Some fans even watched the video over and over again to analyze the Trail Blazers' tactical changes.

What about An Jie? An Jie was once again pushed to the altar. After all, the last pure interior player who could score a triple-double in the Finals was Duncan in 2003. In other words, Anjie once again made his name as famous as the legend. The name "Future Hall of Famer" has been used more and more by the public on An Jie.

At this moment, although the Trail Blazers turned the whole situation around, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue did not have the heart to pay attention to the news related to the Trail Blazers.

Rickard's closed training had caused Tyronn Lue to make a lot of misjudgments in the first game, and now, with the only video of the game, Tyronn Lue is in a state of brainstorming. Every run and every off-ball block by the Trail Blazers players was recorded by Tyronn Lue.

"I guess the boss hasn't been out since he went in this morning. Sweating profusely, Wade leaned into James' ear and muttered in the direction of Tyronn Lue's office.

At this time, the Cavaliers' day's training has ended, and the tired players are dragging their bodies, ready to go back to the hotel to rest and prepare for the next day's game.

But while the training ground became less and less crowded, Tyronn Lue, who studied the footage of the game, never left the office door.

"Definitely studying the footage of the Trail Blazers' games, and the changes they made in the days of closed training made all the plans that Lu had made useless scrap paper. Now, Tyronn Lue has to start all over again and come up with a new game plan. "James knows very well what Tyronn Lue is doing, although in the Cavaliers James and other stars are the protagonists, but Tyronn Lue, why not desire a championship?

The overhead lights on the training ground were turned off by James before leaving, and finally, the true leader of the Cavaliers looked at Taryn Road, who was still working with the door closed. Let's hope this guy can find a way to defend against the enemy.

The team is already 1-0 down, and the pressure that was on the Trail Blazers at the beginning has fallen on the shoulders of the Cavaliers. If the next game is lost at the Moda Center, the whole series will be quite difficult for the Cavaliers.

The last time James and Angel met in the Finals was the second time he was swept in the Finals after Duncan. This kind of humiliation, James will definitely not stop there.

This is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cavaliers, and they won't be easily defeated.

Over the night, Tyronn Lue has watched the Trail Blazers footage more than a dozen times. The Trail Blazers' tactics were so subtle that Tyronn Ludu had to give Riccard a thumbs up in his heart.

But no matter how good Ricard and his team are, Tyronn Lue must now come up with a way to change the situation.

Now there are less than 24 hours until the second game of the finals. Tyronn Lue will have to get everything in order before tomorrow's noon tactical training.

The guy rubbed his temples, although the Cavaliers' lineup looked gorgeous. But under the tactical suppression of the Trail Blazers, he really doesn't have much advantage. The Cavaliers' stars are all outside players, and although Love is an inside player, his style of play is also biased towards guards.

"Defenders!?" Tyronn Lue suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, if there are so many strong defenders on his team, why can't he use them all?

Even if interior players like Tristan Thompson were left on the court, they wouldn't be able to contribute much to the Cavaliers' defense. In that case, the Cavaliers might as well play a small lineup through and through!

Small lineup, if the Cavaliers use a small lineup, it will definitely hit the Trail Blazers' defensive system!

As if he had discovered a new world, Taryn Lue frantically began to simulate tactics in his head. Defensively, the Cavaliers can't defend against Anjie. In that case, it's better to give it a go and destroy the enemy with a more fierce attack!

Giving up the inside and then using the huge advantage of the outside to deal with the Trail Blazers, Tyronn Lue's decision changed the game of basketball again......

※※※

Anjie received a pass from Andrea that was hoisted into the inside by Andrea near the three-second zone, and when he received the ball, it was a very magical scene, but it happened again.

I saw that on the court, in addition to An Jie and Lefu, the other eight players of the two teams were all near the three-point line. In the entire area within the three-point line, there are only two people, Anjie and Lefu.

In the face of Lefou's single defense, An Jie naturally played without any pressure. At this time, there is no doubt that he is still at the peak of An Jie's personal ability. Generally, superstars in their prime are inexplicable. For example, Kobe Bryant, who was able to score goals against two or three people defensively, such as Wade, who broke through like a knife like lightning back then, and the "big shark" who did whatever he wanted on the field. And now Anjie is the same.

An Jie just took a step back and hooked his hand directly. A simple offense, but it gave the Trail Blazers a solid two points.

"It was Ann's 40th point of the game, but we could clearly see that Ann wasn't very happy. Because at this moment, the Portland Trail Blazers are still 5 points behind the Cavaliers!" Mike Brin lamented Anjie's strong personal ability, but also had to admire Tyronn Lue's courage.

Surrender the interior to Angel, and then do everything in your power to defend the other four of the Trail Blazers. In this way, no matter how brilliant An Jie's passing is, it is difficult to create opportunities for his teammates.

The Cavaliers only sent Love as an interior player, using James to play the No. 4 position, and then sending Thomas Jr., Rose, and Wade at the same time. Their attack power is not something that An Jie alone can match.

In the beginning, the rest of the Trail Blazers were still looking for opportunities. But when the game reached the end of the fourth quarter, the situation simply became a situation where one person played four people.

Today, the man who was ranting on the sidelines changed from Tyronn Lue to Ricard. But no matter how much he yells, the Trail Blazers' overly "civilian" outside configuration still makes the Cavaliers' defense stuck.

An Jie's side had just scored, and the Cavaliers immediately attacked. They just want to use this extremely fast pace to completely control the game.

James made a quick break to draw the defense and then scored a point. Thomas Jr., who had been in ambush outside the three-point line for a long time, opened his hand and hit another three-pointer.

In an instant, the difference between the two sides became 8 points. And at this moment, there is less than a minute and a half before the end of the game.

Tyronn Lue was ecstatic on the sidelines, who said that the inside player wins? Who said that basketball is still a game that cannot be separated from the inside line? He wants to prove today that the closer you get to the basket, the closer you get to victory!

Anjie can still score on the inside, and the ratio of interior scoring between the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers has become an exaggerated 23 to 55.

If you look at it from a conventional point of view, the Trail Blazers should have a lot ahead of them when they have such a big inside scoring advantage. But the knight is the leading party at the moment.

Tyronn Lue's unconventional basketball style of play caused the Trail Blazers to overturn in the gutter.

In the end, although An Jie cut a big double-double of 45 points and 16 rebounds, the Cavaliers, who scored double-doubles with four players and twenty points with three players, still got back after a big defeat.

The Trail Blazers fans didn't have long to be happy, and the overall score of the finals became a 1-1 draw.

Times are changing, and the collision between the pioneers of old-school basketball and the knights of modern basketball is a collision between two different basketball concepts.

Is it the uselessness of the center that can stand on its feet, or the traditional one that can win the championship? This year's O'Brien Cup seems to be more than just a championship.
