Chapter 835: Kevin. Durant, Anjie
A dream dance step that can be called a work of art allowed Anjie to score his 40th point of the game and also gave the Trail Blazers a valuable three-point lead in the final 21 seconds.
Sports channels around the world are rebroadcasting the footage of Anjie's goal just now. His smooth pace and realistic feints are no less than Olajuwon's own.
When Olajuwon taught fantasy dance steps, he paid the most attention to two people, one was Kobe Bryant and the other was Anjie. If teaching other people's fantasy dance moves is just for money, then teaching Kobe Bryant and Anjie is to pass on this low-post offensive skill.
As it turns out, the legendary center for the Rockets didn't look away. At the end of his career, Kobe Bryant relied on his superb back singles to crush the crowd. As for Anjie, he has taken the skill of basket footwork to a whole new level.
When Anjie scored a goal, Steve Lee. Cole called a timeout unhurriedly. In Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, in the last 21 seconds, the team was still 3 points behind. There is no doubt that this is a very bad situation for the Warriors.
But for some reason, Cole is very calm now. It's still coming, and Cole feels that the pressure on him is not so great.
Since the situation is irreparable, why worry so much? He has no choice but to give it a go!
"Damn! It's my fault, it's all my fault! "Drummond. Green looked very annoyed after getting off the court, if he hadn't been deceived by An Jie just now, the situation probably wouldn't have become so tense.
After the whole series, Green can be said to have not played too well. Except for the day Morris left the court with seven fouls, Green was almost eaten to death by Morris and Anjie, two traditional insiders.
Perhaps Green's standard small interior line is very useful against other opponents, but this series has made Green realize the huge gap between himself and the real top interior lineman.
"We haven't lost yet, Drummond, isn't it too early to talk about who's right and who's wrong? Come here, let's see how to fight the last attack! If it fails, this will really be our last attack! Kerr picked up the tactical board and stood in the middle of the players, the Golden State Warriors, who dominated the league during the Trail Blazers' depressed time, had to make the final decisions for their fate!
"Others run for me! Run! When Ann attracts the defense, you're all in front of you with chances! I need everybody to be on the attack, everybody! Next, if the Warriors score, each of you has to be ready to shoot the shot! We don't have a pause anymore, and we'll do what I'm going to do now! On the other side, although they took a three-point lead, the players and coaches of the Trailblazers did not dare to relax.
If it were another opponent, the Trail Blazers would probably have won this game. But in the face of the Golden State Warriors, until the last moment, they can't let go of their breath!
Catherine looked at the players gathered in two piles off the field, and her body trembled uncontrollably. This kind of life-and-death situation, just looking at it from the stands, Catherine was so nervous. She couldn't imagine how the players on the pitch could keep their composure.
"Beep~~~" The scene buzzed out, and Catherine was startled. This voice represents the beginning of the final judgment.
"It was really a tense series of Jeff, and in the end, the two sides had to decide the winner in such a brutal way as a lore. Of course, there is also a good chance that the game will be dragged into extra time. But either way, it will be very difficult for both sides. "Mike. Brin finds himself in a long time not to have seen such a fierce Western Conference Finals, with the Cavaliers and Warriors unbeatable in the West for the past two years. Before the Grand Final, they will hardly face opponents.
But this year, the strong return of AnJie and the Trailblazers upset that balance. They not only dragged the powerful warriors to the tiebreaker, but also persevered until the last moment of the tiebreaker!
No Lillard, no Paul. George. Whether the Trail Blazers can win or lose depends on Anjie's performance in these 21 seconds!
The starting five returned to the court, and Durant drew a cross on his chest, hoping that God would continue to bring good luck to the Warriors.
Stephen. Curry's expression is the same as Anjie's, calm and resolute, as if nothing in front of him will cause him difficulties.
Also, as one of the hottest stars in the league, Curry has had too many tough moments. Even now, he still believes the Warriors can win.
Curry is pushing with the ball, and Durant is running wildly. Iguodala did his best and followed Durant closely. It's not easy for him to keep up with Durant at his age.
The Warriors' offense is still so methodical, everyone is doing their job, and everyone is doing their job.
Iguodala stared at Durant, ignoring everything but running with Durant. Drummond. Green's pick-and-roll was cleverly bypassed by Iguodala. What Iguodala didn't expect, however, was bypassing Drummond. After Green, Clay. Thompson has been waiting behind his back for a long time!
"Double pick-and-roll, the Warriors' offense is always so subtle! Iguodala was thrown away, and Kevin. Durant receives a pass from Curry, and he shoots! ”
Durant took a deep breath and took his shot. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and the noisy stadium suddenly fell silent.
The surroundings became empty, only Durant who shot the basketball, and An Jie, who looked at the basketball under the basket. The two guys felt like they were back in time, back on the training ground at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Durant is shooting, and Anjie is grabbing rebounds.
Gradually, cheers began to reach Durant's ears, and there were many more guys around him. Stephen with a calm expression. Curry, wide-eyed Klay. Thompson, panting Andrew. Morris, Drummond who is trying to get stuck under the basket. Green, and that, the thousands of expressive fans.
The basketball bounced to the front of the basket, rose again, and then began to fall slowly. Anjie jumped up, he was about to grab the basketball. But just as his hand was about to touch the basketball, he suddenly retracted. The ball can't be touched because he's still in range of the basket!
The second time I fell, the basketball didn't pop up. He fell straight into the net, and the sound of the nets tumbling sounded so clear to Angel's ears.
“It’s,in! Kevin. Durant! The key three points, Durant equalized, he equalized! The Western Conference Finals will continue, and the Trail Blazers' dream of victory was shattered by Durant in one fell swoop! Great No. 35 small forward, great Golden State Warriors, great modern basketball! This is likely to be the most exciting Western Conference Finals in NBA history! "Mike. Brin slammed up from behind the commentary desk the moment Durant scored.
His voice was heard clearly by the fans in the stands. You can see how hard this guy roars.
Catherine felt that her breathing became short, and Durant actually scored such a crucial ball. If the game is dragged into overtime, An Jie, who is already exhausted, may not be able to show a magical performance in the fourth quarter. With just 8.3 seconds left on the clock, there was no timeout in Ricard's hands. It looks like the Warriors are getting infinitely close to overtime!
"Stinky boy, you're really not soft!" was thrown by Durant for a key three-pointer, and An Jie was very convinced. He knows Kevin. What does the name Durant represent, this guy was born for such a scene.
On the other side, the Warriors players all hugged Durant one by one. The guy almost pulled the team back off the brink, and Durant put the Golden State Warriors back in contention for a championship.
No Lillard, no Paul. George. How do the Trail Blazers pull off a kill with just 8.3 seconds left? Overtime seems to be a sure thing! And as long as the game is dragged into overtime, the Warriors will use their thicker lineup than the Trail Blazers to win in one fell swoop! Nick. Young, McGee, Cassie & Livingston...... These guys are still full of energy!
"Hey, you guys are ready for overtime! They can't do it anymore, slamming on, dragging down the Trailblazers! Kerr has even started calling on a couple of key substitutes to prepare, and it looks like he's going to get it!
"Whew......" An Jie picked up the basketball and took a big breath. I didn't expect this season to turn out to be what it is now. Lillard and George were both absent, which was really unexpected.
The four of them worked together to reach the playoffs as the league's No. 1 again, defeated the giants in the playoffs again, and once again shocked the entire league. How can it, how can it fall like this!
Anjie handed the ball to Morris, who was about to serve, and rushed forward to catch Iguodala and winked his eyes. As for the setting of the shut-out ball, Ricard had just done it. Now, it's up to the Trail Blazers to execute everything in the last 8.3 seconds.
Morris took the basketball and handed it to the referees, the Warriors undoubtedly used a full-court press-and-roll defense, and Kerr struggled to keep the Trail Blazers on serve.
Angel looked at his wife, then at Ricard. Looking at the luxury box, he knew that Nell. Orsi was definitely there. After that, An Jie's eyes returned to the court. The championship must be won!
"Jeff, Jeff?" Mike. Brin noticed that Van Gundy hadn't spoken for a long time, so he turned his head to look at his partner.
How did Van Gundy take off his headphones and lean back in his chair, his chest rising and falling violently. This guy is already too nervous to speak.
"Push! Push them out for me! Kerr yelled on the sidelines that if Morris was prevented from delivering the ball, it would have been a better result.
Napier and Iguodala have been stymied by the Warriors' players, and it will be difficult for them to find a gap to catch the ball.
Morris took the ball from the referee, which meant he had to pass the ball in a limited amount of time. Morris looked at Iguodala and Napier, who were still heavily guarded.
But it doesn't matter, the ball wasn't going to be passed to them at all!
Just when Kerr thought that his defense was seamless, Anjie, who was dangling near the three-point line of the Warriors half, suddenly accelerated and ran towards his own half!
"Ann is going to catch the baseline ball!" Mike. Brin couldn't believe that Ricard and Anjie would do such a bold move.
Anjie ran across the halfway line, Drummond. Green was close behind Angel, waiting for an opportunity to prepare for a steal. At this time, Morris threw it vigorously, and the ball was really passed to Anjie!
The basketball flew over everyone's heads and headed straight for An Jie. The ball was passed a little high, and even An Jie could barely catch it after jumping up, after all, not every interior player is An Jie, and he can always send accurate long passes.
Anjie barely received the basketball, and Green couldn't even touch the ball.
After landing, An Jie immediately turned around and advanced! A center forward, who directly passes the baseline ball and holds the ball to advance the attack!
Green immediately stretched out his arm, ready to take the basketball away. Unexpectedly, Angel deftly dribbled with a change of hands, allowing Drummond. Green pounced.
Anjie continued to advance, and the Warriors' defense was back in place. Durant gathered around Anjie, hoping to interfere with the guy's drop of the ball.
As the minutes ticked by, An Jie had already advanced to a position within the three-point line with the ball. At the moment, Morris and Durant are around Anjie, and if they pass the ball, Curry and others are also likely to ambush and steal.
An Jie suddenly leaned back, catching Green off guard. Durant immediately stretched out his arm and prepared for a steal.
Just when Durant's hand was about to touch the basketball, An Jie suddenly turned around and dodged Durant's "black hand" again.
After half a turn, Durant and Morris both thought that Anjie was going to break through directly. Unexpectedly, they had just changed their focus and were about to chase back, but they found that An Jie had turned his body back with his left foot as the axis.
Moreover, after turning back, An Jie jumped directly and shot backwards in the middle and long distances!
"It's a Kobe shot! Flip back jumper behind your back! Let's see if Ann's back-to-back skills can help him get through the storm this time! "Mike. Brin has become the only commentator on ESPN, Van Gundy? Van Gundy has turned into a fan.
Anjie jumped out of his hand, and both Green and Durant blocked it. Although they can't cover the basketball, there is no doubt that the two will definitely cause a huge disturbance to Anjie.
Halfway through the jump, An Jie couldn't see the basket at all. But you can only remember the position of the basket by relying on the impression you had made a few seconds ago.
When An Jie found that his body was no longer rising, he took a shot. Isn't the sweat you put in every night on the training ground just for now?
The basketball was gently thrown by An Jie, and the orange-red sphere passed over the fingertips of Green and Durant, like a fiery red sun under the illumination of the light.
An Jie, who had too much recline angle and was too stuck by Durant and Green, fell directly backwards after landing. What about Durant and Green? They quickly turned back and continued to stare at the orange basketball.
Before the basketball entered the frame, Wu Hua in the reporter area had already pressed the shutter of his camera. Because he saw that An Jie, who was lying on the ground at the moment, had already raised his arms in advance!
"Brush!" The sound of the Nets tumbling sounded, and it was still so beautiful. Along with this sound, there is also a red light on the rebound. Lying on the ground, An Jie closed his eyes, at this moment, he just wanted to enjoy the thrill of victory.
Wu Hua put away the camera and looked at his trembling hands. He knew that in the next second, the entire city of Portland was about to erupt! As for himself, he is likely to faint with excitement because of this scene.......
