Chapter 702: Broken Knees

"Tsk. Wade pursed his lips and looked helplessly at the big screen. On the big screen, the reporters' on-site interview with An Jie at this time was being played. But what Wade cared about was the damn score next to the screen.

112-92, Wade thought that the Heat might lose at home, but never thought that they would lose so badly at home.

Today, dragging that pair of torn knees, Wade cut the same 22 points as James. Every time he makes a brave breakthrough, he is gambling with his health.

It's a pity that the performance of the Trail Blazers today was simply impeccable. Even if Wade and James combined for 44 points, the Heat still can't turn around.

"Beautiful triple-double, Ann, how do you evaluate your performance today?" On the field, reporters always tirelessly asked An Jie questions.

"We all played really well and I wouldn't have gotten a triple-double today without my teammates. Winning the game, that's everyone's work. Angel was smiling happily as the Heat stole an away from Portland. Now, the Trail Blazers have got it back in a-for-tat.

Seeing that the young boy who came to the Heat team for a tryout was so mellow when he faced reporters, Wade realized that so many years had passed.

"Do you think we can still win? On the way back to the locker room, Wade suddenly said to James.

"What!?Are you kidding Dwayne, of course we can win!Hey, we still have a home field, it's just that we're not in shape today, it's okay, don't be discouraged. James replied in amazement, he never expected Wade to be discouraged.

Today, James and Wade combined for a total of 12 turnovers. You know, the Trail Blazers only had ten turnovers for the entire team.

The two impatient brothers, frequent misses in the fourth quarter of the game, were also one of the reasons why the Heat couldn't close the score in the end. James also thought that Wade was unhappy with him because of this matter. As everyone knows, Wade just really feels old......

Back in the locker room, even James felt like the whole team was dead. The conflict between him and Chalmers caused cracks in the dressing room, and now he has lost the game by a huge point margin, and the morale of his teammates is also a little low.

"Guys, we haven't lost yet! We'll win it back at home in a day's time, won't we!?" shouted James as he stood in the middle of the locker room, and everyone responded to him, but James could tell that everyone was absent-minded.

James shook his head, shoved his foot into the ice bucket and sat down in front of his cupboard. The current Heat is very different from when he first joined. If you don't get results with the Heat this year...... He might really have to think about where he belongs next.

After all, this guy James is now only serving the championship!

After Anjie, who won the competition, took a shower, he was forcibly arranged by Ricard to go to the physiotherapy room. There, a dedicated therapist massages Anjie to relax his muscles.

Now that the series aggregate has become 2-1, Ricard now only needs to do one thing to ensure his team's victory, and that is to keep Anjie healthy!

In order to allow Anjie to get a full massage, Ricard only brought Lillard and Aldridge to the post-game press conference. When reporters asked Riccard why he didn't show up, Riccard would always repeat one sentence: "He needs to rest." ”

From the first game of the regular season to the present this season, An Jie has been working hard and has not lost a single game. Although An Jie is Superman on the court, Superman's heart is also made of meat.

Enjoy your moment of relaxation, Anjie, you just need to concentrate on playing basketball now......

※※※

The next day, although there were no games to play, the nerves of the Heat players were still tense. They can't eat properly, they can't even sleep properly. Only when training in the training ground will their heartbeat be a little more relaxed.

"It's not a good situation, sir. If we let the rest of the team continue like this, the team's fighting power will definitely be greatly affected!" James had a conversation with Spoelstra before the start of practice, and if the Heat's internal problems are not solved, beating Kai or will always be a dream.

"The atmosphere in the dressing room is something to get used to, LeBron, and you know that better than I do. Now that the season is over, don't you think it's a waste of a few days for us to develop locker room feelings?" Spoelstra answered James' question as he stared at the court.

James crossed his waist, it seems that if he wants the O'Brien Cup, he has to rely on himself!

After a low-quality group practice, the next day's competition day went ahead as scheduled. Whether you're ready or not, the battlefield is there. The only thing you can do is keep your chest up and move on, there is no way back.

James is ready to take the plunge, and today, he intends to do everything in his power to help the Heat through the sadness.

Although this is only the fourth game of the series, for the Heat and James, this game is no different from the last.

If the Heat do lose their second home court, the overall score of the game will become a desperate 3-1. Due to the reform of the finals format, the fifth battle between the two sides will start in Portland.

In such a situation, it is quite difficult for the Heat to complete the comeback in a 3-1 situation. So James has only one choice, to keep the win at home!

As soon as the game started, Aldridge's shot stumbled out of the box. James seized the opportunity, advanced quickly, and slammed the dunk to take the lead for the Heat.

Seeing that James was in such a positive state today, the fans at the American Airlines Center cheered one by one. Their king is finally about to defeat his enemies!

The Trail Blazers also gave James "face" today, and at the beginning of the game, the Trail Blazers' performance was very average. They couldn't make consecutive shots like they did in the last game.

The Trail Blazers were like "boiling frogs in warm water", not drastic enough, but controlling the course of the game from start to finish.

Seeing James working so hard, Wade, the soul of the Heat, was not to be outdone and planned to help. But Wade's knees completely brought down the legendary defender today.

His breakthrough is no longer lethal, and Anjie's two consecutive blocks against Wade are the best proof of this. After that, Wade also thought about solving the problem by shooting. It's a pity that the impact of the legs on the shooting is also huge.

The Trail Blazers continue to play steadily. On the Heat side, there seems to be some more than enough power.

After the first half, the Trail Blazers shot 55.6% from the field, and all 10 of the players who played on the court scored in their accounts. On the Heat's side, the shooting rate is only 35%. James scored just nine points, and Wade hit only one of his seven shots.

With just 36 points in the half, the Heat's poor form is evident.

Wade still couldn't find his sense in the third quarter, missing all of them when he hit the basket several times, and didn't score a point. And Bosh also tends to disappear, and his presence is lower than that of Meyers Leonard of the Trail Blazers. James had to play alone, almost covering all of the Heat's scores in the quarter.

This is a dangerous sign, because at this moment, James is back to the Cavaliers pattern of playing four people by one person.

By the fourth quarter, Wade's knees were already in pain, but he insisted on playing. It's a big deal, it's a matter of pumping water on your knees. But now, the Heat are 24 points behind the Trail Blazers. Even if Wade insists on playing, the result doesn't seem to change much.

Anjie and Aldridge are like two grim reapers, constantly harvesting the aura of the Heat players. The game couldn't be forced to close to within 20 points, and although James worked hard, he couldn't snatch the victory from the Trail Blazers players on his own.

Again, Wade had the ball across half court. He really looked for a gap around Miller Sr. and hoped to find an opportunity to break into the box!

Just as Wade was about to break through, the referee's shrill whistle suddenly sounded. Wade turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Spoelstra who called a timeout.

Wade walked briskly off the pitch, thinking his manager had thought of a way to turn the tide. However, Spoelstra's first words made Wade feel very desperate.

"Dwayne, Chris, LeBron, come down and rest, let's stop playing. Faced with the brutal truth, Spoelstra chose to accept it.

"What!?" James and Bosh were already sitting on the bench with their heads bowed, but Wade looked at Spoelstra in surprise.

"We can't give up yet, now the score is ......"

"We've lost, Dwayne!" Before Wade could finish speaking, Spoelstra stepped up his tone and snatched the right to speak. 3 and a half minutes, 24 minutes. Judging from the state of the Big Three today, this game is really irreversible.

Wade slumped to the bench like a deflated ball. Spoelstra patted Wade on the shoulder and continued to turn to face the pitch and direct the battle.

Seeing that the Heat replaced all the main players and gave up the game, Riccard also used substitutes to complete the last few minutes of the game.

After An Jie got off the field, he hugged Ricard excitedly. Ricard's body and An Jie are not at the same level, and this time, he was even more overwhelmed by An Jie's sudden bear hug.

"Alright, stinky boy, I know you're amazing!" Ricard kept "struggling" before finally letting An Jie let go.

It was also at this time that Riccard discovered that An Jie's eyes were a little ruddy......

"We did it, Chief...... Championship, we have already touched the championship trophy with one hand!" An Jie cried because he was too happy.

"Wipe it up! What a worthless guy! I'm going to cry and make trouble, and when we win Game 5 in Portland, let's start again!" Rickard hurriedly handed Anjie a towel, but in fact, at this moment, Rickard's heart was also beating.

Spoelstra gave up the game and the series aggregate score became 3-1. What does this mean?

This means that the Trail Blazers are only one last step away from successfully defending their title!

Wade was the same as An Jie, both of whom covered their heads with towels and quietly choked in this small towel.

But Wade is sad because of defeat, and Anjie is happy because of victory!

"Beep!" Suddenly, the roar of the end of the game rang out violently. The Trail Blazers players all jumped up, and they all threw their towels into the air. Only An Jie was the only one who still sat in his seat with his head down. And you can't hear anything in the whole Moda Center except for the cheers.

It's almost time, I've worked hard for a whole year, and the irresistible reward is finally coming!

Two championship trophies? In the past, absolutely no Chinese player dared to think of such a thing. But now, that image is about to become a reality!
