Chapter 576: Young People's Blood
Dwyane Wade scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the first quarter, and he taught the Trail Blazers a hard lesson. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Wade may not be able to impact the basket like he did back then, but he also used his actions today to tell the Trail Blazers that no matter how bad he is, it is Wade!" At halftime, the commentators on each station began to analyze the situation of the first half of the game.
The Trail Blazers did play very fiercely at the beginning, but the Finals are a difficult and long process. You have to be at a high level from start to finish to be the winner.
Some fans were excited by Wade's sudden outburst, but the Portland fans and Chinese fans in the East were very worried. Anjie's performance in the second quarter was arguably one of his worst minutes of the season.
Maybe after so much success, maybe after the first quarter of the game overwhelmed the Heat's Big Three. The young pioneers, some too lax. They always think that they can still beat their opponents easily, but in the finals, that is not the case.
Ricard stood in front of the tactical board with a stern expression, while the players below him hung their heads one by one and remained silent.
"A Wade with a serious knee injury can beat you like this, and I think we're still a big way from the championship. Surprisingly, Ricard didn't encourage his players, and his cold tone made the players even more chilled.
"Just enjoy the game, anyway, I see you guys like that, just go to the finals with the mentality of giving it a try. Forget it, the Heat team is really strong anyway, and we won't be much criticized if we lose to them. Ricard said as he watched the looks of the players below.
"It's not good for us, sir. Finally, An Jie couldn't listen anymore. He stood up suddenly, and Riccard had to look up to see the unwilling expression at his core.
"We played too lax in the second quarter, and we always thought that the Heat team was just like that......" Anjie recalled his impatient offense and casual defense, and couldn't help but feel very ashamed.
"Let me tell you, there are 30 teams in this league, 30 damn NBA teams! In this way, there are hundreds of the best basketball players in the world, who have been fighting for more than half a year to stand on the stage you have arrived at today! Their efforts are no less than yours, and some of them have even sacrificed their health for this! Contributed their private lives and even their families! Everyone will go all out for this moment! But look at yourselves!" Rickard's emotions suddenly became agitated, and the entire dressing room, except for the gasps of the players, could only hear Rickard's yelling.
"You've gotten to the place everybody's dreamed of, but you're squandering your chances where everybody's dreaming of coming to! If that's the case, we might as well let the teams that want to win stand here! We might as well let the Spurs, let the Grizzlies replace us! At the very least, their spirit is worthy of the Finals!"
"The Big Three of the Heat are not general, and when the opponent's will is stronger and firmer than yours, you should show a higher fighting spirit instead of being complacent! Now, Ann, you tell me, do you still want to play in the Finals! All of you, tell me, what are you doing here for a season!?"
"I want to fight, I want to win, I want to win the championship!" Anjie raised his head and stared at Riccard's loud yell.
"Then show the attitude we should have! If they are tough, you will be tougher than them! Their tactics are complicated, and we will use tireless running to defuse them! There is no good luck, no compromise, and no respite in the Finals! We have to give it our all from the first minute to the death! This is the Finals gentlemen, not a damn All-Star Weekend! Your opponent is the Miami Heat, a super team that has reached the Finals three years in a row, the Miami Heat! Don't think that you can win with any seven successes, we have to fight the Miami people to the end!" Ricard slapped the whiteboard hard. He doesn't have to infect everyone, as long as he can infect An Jie, it is equivalent to infecting everyone.
"Come on guys, aren't we here for this!?Keep working hard and let the Heat Big Three know whose territory the Rose Garden is!" An Jie also began to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, and after a while, the people who were still hanging their heads just now all raised their pitches, their faces full of murder.
Indeed, the young Trail Blazers were a little ego-aggrandizing in the second quarter because of the unexpected ease of the first quarter. The lack of rigor and seriousness of the Trail Blazers allowed the Heat to quickly seize the opportunity.
But now, the players know what's at stake in the finals. Here, your opponents won't be easily defeated. Even if you pierce his heart, he will use the last bit of strength to plunge the dagger into your chest!
Bloody hand-to-hand combat, war in peacetime! This is the NBA Finals!
The third quarter of the game started as scheduled, and the Heat sent Wade and Bosh to continue the pursuit of the collapsed Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, played directly in the starting lineup.
"We're worried about the change in mentality of the young Trail Blazers, but hopefully the little guys figured out what they needed to do at halftime. Otherwise, Wade and Bosh will make the Trail Blazers completely lose the power to resist!" Bill Wharton frowned, at the beginning of the third quarter, will the Heat continue to suppress the game, or will the Trail Blazers regain their home court?
This time, Wade started to advance the ball directly from the baseline. With the experience of the second quarter, Wade is now full of confidence. Matthews's kid is too easy to shake, and Anjie has to worry about Bosh not being able to make up for it quickly. Now it seems that this Trailblazer team is not as terrifying as it is rumored.
"What!?" However, just after halftime, Wade didn't have time to accelerate when he was trapped by the aggressive Matthews. Pressing the defense at halftime, the Trail Blazers gave Wade a big gift as soon as they came up.
Matthews is indeed easily deceived by the cunning Wade, but again, his body, which is very strong among defenders, also makes the aging Wade a little uncomfortable.
Wade made several shifts and changes of direction in a row, but none of them allowed him to get rid of Matthews. Matthews is like a hunter, and Wade is the prey that the hunter is targeting!
"Matthews' defense didn't go far and Wade was in trouble at the start of the third quarter. ā
Wade was not intimidated by this difficulty, and he immediately passed the ball to Bosh, and then quickly flashed past Matthews without the ball.
Matthews didn't expect Wade to cut inside immediately after the pass, so he couldn't stop "The Flash" from advancing. But this time Matthews didn't leave his ass to Anjie to wipe it, he turned around sharply and pounced on Wade like a prey!
Wade burst into the three-second zone and looked very calm in the face of Aldridge Wade, who came from the defense. He suddenly took three steps, and the wavering change in center of gravity made Aldridge wonder whether Wade was going to the left or right.
Just when Aldridge was stunned, Wade suddenly accelerated to the left and passed Aldridge in one fell swoop. Wade jumped, intending to split the ball. But he found that An Jie did not come back to make up for the defense, and he was still in front of Bosh!
"Aren't you going to help defend!?" Wade was a little surprised, and immediately turned the pass into an up, intending to attack himself.
Just as Wade was about to shoot the ball, he felt a huge pressure behind him.
Wade couldn't keep his balance in such a fierce physical confrontation, so he immediately threw the ball into the air and fell out of the bottom line in embarrassment!
The referee blew the whistle, and Matthews raised his hand to signal that it was indeed his own foul. But he has no regrets, because at least he blocked Wade's layup!
"Stinky boy!" Seeing that Wade, who was at great risk of injury, was violated, Ray Allen, who was now playing in the third position, rushed forward, intending to trouble Matthews. At this time, An Jie suddenly appeared, lying between Aaron and Matthews.
"Take care of yourself, Ray!" Anjie fiercely protected his teammates, just as the Celtics triumvirate protected Rondo under Kobe Bryant.
"Get your friends on the lookout, Ann. Ray Allen naturally knew that Anjie was not easy to mess with, so he gave up entanglement.
After that, Wade, who was hit hard, hit just one of two free throws from the free throw line. Although he still allowed the Heat to score, Rickard was pleased to see the change in the mentality of the Trail Blazers players. And after this impact, Wade's breakthrough may not be as bold as before.
The Trail Blazers counterattacked, and Bosh was the most painful one on the Heat.
Although he is still behind, instead of being in a hurry, Anjie is still more desperate than in the second quarter!
Bosh originally just planned to put his arm in front of An Jie to interfere with him receiving the ball, but An Jie directly forced his dark elbow, shook off Bosh's arm, and further set the position.
The subtle confrontation between the two giants was imperceptible to the outside world, but only Bosh knew how powerful Anjie's elbow was!
The basketball was beaten to An Jie's hands as always, and although Bosh was still stuffy in his chest, he didn't dare to slack off. He continued to stick to Anjie and didn't let the regular season MVP get any space.
But An Jie didn't stay on the ball for long, he received the ball with his back and immediately hit the ground with a pass. Aldridge pocketed the front of the basket, which bounced just to his waist. Such a comfortable position, so that Aldridge is to catch the ball and shoot!
Haslem, who is at a downwind in height, footwork and speed, is tough and tries to interfere. But the difference in strength still allowed Aldridge to score the ball easily.
The fans of Rose Garden immediately applauded, and when Anjie got out of the impatient singles, the Trail Blazers' offense was the perfect offense!
"This is Ann's second assist today, let's see if he is a flash in the pan or a complete resurrection!" Bill Wharton and Yu Jia were both excited, this is Anjie's favorite offensive rhythm!
"These boys, it seems that the fighting spirit is different!" James whispered beside Spoelstra.
"God knows what Ricard said to them at half-time, you go to the technical desk and get ready, and as soon as the ball dies you'll be on the pitch!" The Filipino coach is not Ricard, he won't wait until the score is close to make a substitution decision.
James stood up, took off his training clothes, and walked to the technical table and sat on the floor. Riccard naturally saw this scene, and he only hoped that the players on the field could equalize before James came on the field!
Wade still controlled the ball himself, and the facts also proved that Matthews's ferocious defense just now was not a flash of inspiration.
He still clings to Wade, and that determination to fight to the end makes Matthews put great pressure on Wade!
Ray Allen used his skillful off-ball running and Bosh's tacit off-ball blocking to get out of the baseline and raise his hand to ask Wade for the ball.
Wade did not hesitate, the great scorer of the 96 golden generation will always be worthy of the trust of his teammates.
As soon as Ray Allen received the ball and was about to aim for the basket, he saw Iguodala dressed in rough clothes and immediately chased after him. Ray Allen could even feel the breath coming out of Iguodala's nose rolling in his face!
"Andre's defense is very tight, and the faces of the two are almost next to each other!"
"It's a gambling defence! If Ray Allen had chosen to break through in the first place, Iguodala would have been a clean slate. However, this kind of defense seems to work especially well on the Heat!"
Ray Allen now doesn't talk about three-point shots and breakaways, he struggles to protect the basketball and can only barely pass the ball.
Chalmers broke through directly after receiving the basketball, and Bosh immediately jammed Anjie, so that he could not interfere with Chalmers' layup.
But even so, Chalmers still did not escape the fate of being bullied. Only this time, the person who completed the chase was the best rookie Damion Lillard!
"Ahh
"Matthews!" Angel yelled, throwing the basketball to Wesley Matthews with one hand.
Last season, Matthews and Felton, a not-so-fast guard pairing, made it difficult for the Trail Blazers to launch a fast break.
But this year, when Matthews received the ball and advanced, both Iguodala and Lillard could immediately step up to pick it up.
The three-line fast break was immediately formed, and Matthews gave the ball to Iguodala, who was advancing from the middle. Iguodala got the ball to the basket quickly, and Ray Allen jumped hard, only to find Iguodala still on the ground!
Iguodala didn't plan to attack the frame by himself from the beginning to the end, and he paused for a moment, not only letting him shake off Ray Allen, but also waiting for Anjie's advance!
Iguodala flicked the ball back, and Anjie, who was on top of him, leaped hard.
He held the ball tightly with both hands in the air, and after that, Anjie gathered enough energy, ignoring Ray Allen, who had just been shaken to the ground, and pressed the ball into the basket with great force!
Before Ray Allen could react to what was going on, he was separated by An Jie to complete an empty dunk.
After An Jie landed on the ground, his hands pointed to the stands, and the entire rose garden vibrated with the frequency of the basket!
"This damn boy!" Ray Allen was unconvinced, but found that he had nothing to do!
Anjie and Iguodala have caused great humiliation to the legend of the 96 golden generation!
In the next round, Bosh's turnaround jumper was also interfered with by Anjie. Matthews and Angel hit three-pointers with just a simple inside-out tactic.
Anjie's containment on the inside is too strong, and when Matthews passes the ball to Anjie who cuts inside, although everyone will pounce towards the highest point of the yellow skin.
As long as Anjie hits the ball back into Matthews' hands, he can make the unmarked latter easily shoot a three-pointer!
"Pause, pause!" Spoelstra immediately stood up and shouted, and James returned to the bench from the technical table.
Before they could get a chance to play with a dead ball, the Trail Blazers tied the score. The Heat felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and this group of young people was like crazy!
With two assists and a dunk, An Jie returned to the bench with a full harvest. Next, it's James' turn!
