Chapter 840: A counterattack from the "loser".
When Anjie and his teammates ran out of the tunnel of the players, reporters and fans rushed to the field to see if the group was still human.
It was the first time since the Western Conference Finals that fans and reporters had seen a Trail Blazers player in action. As a team that has a lot of attention, it is definitely unusual for no journalists to reach them before the finals.
It is because of this unusual move that the news that the Trail Blazers were fined 500,000 by the league is now known. Although the outside world has unanimously decided that the Trail Blazers cannot win the championship, people still can't help but want to see if the Trail Blazers' 500,000 flowers are worth it.
"We can see that despite the loss of George and Lillard, the Trail Blazers players are still full of energy. Under Ann's leadership, everyone warmed up very seriously. This group of guys seems to be confident. Kenny Smith talked about the Trail Blazers before the game even started. After all, in the past few days of being closed to the outside world, the Trail Blazers have really left people with too much to talk about.
"I can't wait to see what Coach Ricard has been training behind closed doors for the past few days, and no one can guess what Coach Ricard will do, because even he doesn't know what he's going to do. Let's hope the Cavaliers are prepared, or they'll likely respond to the gutter capsizing. "Jeff Van Gundy is more concerned about the Trail Blazers' style of play and tactics than the Trail Blazers' lace news.
No one knows what this mysterious closed trial training has turned the Trail Blazers into. The outside world said the Trail Blazers lost, but Van Gundy didn't think so. Didn't the Mavericks who defeated the Big Three of the Heat back then also lead the team with a single core?
What Nowitzki can do, Anjie, of course, can also do!
Not long after the Trail Blazers players warmed up, the Cavaliers came out of another player tunnel.
Suddenly, the scene flashed loudly, and the reporters all raised their cameras one after another. These two teams that reached the finals are finally standing on the same court!
After James and Wade stepped onto the court, they did not start warming up immediately, but stared at An Jie on the other side of the court.
"I didn't expect the two of us to run into this guy again. Wade crossed his waist, and during the Heat period, Anjie defeated himself and James more than once. Now Wade has come full circle, but once again he will join forces with James against Anjie.
"Life is so amazing Dwayne, just like I didn't expect the two of us to continue working together. Don't worry, man, we're going to win this year!" James finished speaking, then picked up the basketball on the ground and began to warm up.
The players on both sides are now in the middle of the battle, and the commentators and basketball fans around the world can't wait for this big battle to start sooner!
As the start of the competition gets closer and closer, the atmosphere at the Moda Center is getting hotter and hotter. Although the Trail Blazers are not favored by the world, at least in the hearts of Portland fans, their players are still the best.
The group of guys did not hesitate to shout their own shouts, pushing the atmosphere to a climax before the game even started.
Rickard looked at his watch to the cheers of the fans, and the time was almost up. It's time to call the players down and make the final deployment!
Rickard roared and waved his hand to call all the players back. The first five tigers gathered around Ricard, while the others stood on the perimeter.
This crazy manager looked around at the players around him, this group of guys, sure to surprise everyone!
"Are you ready? Enemy, but it's on the other side of us. Rickard said, looking in the direction of the Cavaliers bench.
"I'm nervous, sir. Napier didn't hide his nervousness, after all, it was his first time playing in the finals as the team's main control.
"It's okay, it's better to be nervous now than to be nervous after playing. Hey, as long as we follow the training routine, we can definitely win! So, don't worry, okay? This game is just that your opponents have changed from each other to someone else. As he spoke, James and his Cavaliers were back on the court, and the referee on duty was walking towards the Trail Blazers' bench, presumably signaling that they were coming out immediately.
"It's all the same as in training, guys, let go of your hands and feet, let's win the game!1, 2, 3 ......" An Jie said, stretching out his palm.
"Trailblazer!" shouted the players as they folded their palms together before stepping onto the court.
Van Gundy quickly took a sip of water, and O'Neill adjusted his seat. This series, which is enough to make the whole world tremble, is finally about to start!
An Jie shook his head and moved his muscles and bones. He jumped into the middle circle, only to find that Lefu had already stared at him with a serious face.
This guy who has been married since he was in college must also be mooing and ready to use basketball on the court to solve all grievances.
An Jie looked at Lefu, who was a head shorter than himself, and his eyes suddenly became very scary. The referee looked at the two big men and confirmed that they were both ready. After that, he threw the basketball into the sky, and An Jie and Lefu jumped almost at the same time! The 2017-2018 NBA Finals officially started!
There's no doubt that with more height, reach, bounce and experience, Anjie was able to jump first for the Trail Blazers with ease, a full slap ahead of Lefou.
The Cavaliers' star-studded roster immediately set up a defensive stance, and they didn't want to be scored easily by the Trail Blazers.
Isaiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love. The Cavaliers' starting lineup is simply an entire All-Star lineup. That's why the Cavaliers can easily fight their way out of the East.
On the other hand, the Trail Blazers, Napier, Evan Turner, Iguodala, Morris and Anjie, this is already the best team that Ricard can get his hands on. Among these five people, except for An Jie, no one's scoring ability is reassuring to fans.
The huge gap between the two sides in the completeness of the lineup is also the reason why people are generally not optimistic about the Trail Blazers. However, the Trail Blazers players were not timid on the court, and even Napier, who was a little nervous before the game began, was calm at the moment.
"Although Isaiah Thomas is on the short side, Napier doesn't necessarily have the advantage against this guy's defense. We all know that Thoma's core strength is very strong. Napier had to be careful not to be tackled by the opponent's sudden dash. ”
Napier did feel the pressure from Thomas' defense, but now he has more than enough to deal with passing.
I saw Napier block Thomas's chest with one hand, and with a flick of the other hand, he successfully passed the basketball to An Jie's hand.
"Napier, after the playoffs, this guy has matured. It's a brilliant pass, is the Trail Blazers ready to let Ann solo himself as soon as they come up?" Van Gundy's eyes widened, if just having Angel single could solve the problem, Calder wouldn't have to be busy for so long. Definitely not, this attack will certainly not be so simple!
Anjie held the ball in the middle distance, and immediately, Love and James were ready to complete the pack. Now that the Trail Blazers are suffering from a big injury, Anjie is the only consistent point of attack. At this time, it is definitely right to choose a bag clip!
However, before James and Love could finish the bag. An Jie suddenly passed the ball again and sent the basketball out.
Anjie went from receiving the ball to making a shot, which took less than a second. So when he passes the ball, people don't even know who the ball is coming to.
"A mistake?" A huge question mark appeared in the hearts of countless fans, could it be that An Jie was still overwhelmed in the end?
Just when the Trail Blazers fans were almost holding their heads in their hands in disappointment, Iguodala, who had already escaped the defender by running back, suddenly appeared in the receiving position.
After receiving the basketball, Iguodala did not hesitate and directly controlled the ball and rushed to the basket along the baseline!
James had just walked up to Anjie's side and before he could take a second look, he found that Iguodala was completely empty!
James subconsciously wanted to make up for it, but Iguodala was already on his feet. An extremely wonderful tomahawk-style chop, which is destined to be an equally wonderful grand final, is a start!
Everyone present was stunned, how did Anjie's quick transfer after receiving the ball happen? How did this guy know that Iguodala would definitely go to the receiving position by running back. You know, when Anjie started to pass the ball, the place was originally empty! If Iguodala had been slower, the assist would have turned into a turnover!
In James' surprised eyes, Anjie and Iguodala high-fived intimately. After that, Anjie made an "OK" gesture to Riccard on the bench.
The tactics were executed very successfully, and this is only the tip of the iceberg in closed training.
The Trailblazers, who lack troops and major generals, are vulnerable? I'm afraid, that's not the case.
James picked up the basketball on the ground and looked at the smiling center 00. If you want to defeat the Trail Blazers and win the championship, I'm afraid the Cavaliers and James will have to work harder......
