As the players screamed at the airport, Riccard knew the boys weren't going to be too bad.

But what he didn't expect was that on the day the game began, the Trail Blazers actually played so smoothly!

The Heat, who returned to Miami the night early, did a lot of drills on the Trail Blazers' tactics in advance, but as soon as they stepped onto the court today, everything Spoelstra did turned into nothing.

Ricard unexpectedly promoted Robin Lopez to the starting line-up to partner Anjie on the inside, a change that caught Spoelstra off guard.

Without Aldridge, the Trail Blazers have also seen a lot of changes on the offensive end. With Robin, a guy who is willing to grab and fight, pressed on the inside line, An Jie can rest assured and boldly come out.

There is no need to say how terrifying Anjie is in the middle distance. Whether it's playmaking or scoring, whether it's blocking or tackling, Anjie can make the whole team better.

And with Anjie's clear-thinking passes, the rest of the Trail Blazers players can easily get a lot of opportunities. The opportunity came out, and the hit rate went up.

Another attack by the Trail Blazers, this time, Spoelstra ordered Bosh to step forward and confront Anjie. But it also means that the Heat's basket will be handed over to Lewis to guard.

Chris Bosh is the only one on the Heat lineup who has some rim protection, but when Lewis was beaten into a sieve by Angel, Spoelstra had to take some risks.

Seeing that the Heat had to make a compromise, the corners of An Jie's mouth curled slightly. Spoelstra is simply not worth the loss by doing this!

This time, An Jie didn't play too complicated tactics again. Standing in the middle distance, he passed the ball directly over Bosh's head, and the basketball went straight to the inside, where Robin Lopez, who was in good position, held the ball with his back.

Robin is not like his older brother Brooke, he is a blue-collar interior lineman who scores, which has never been Robin's strong suit.

But if it's Rashad Lewis who defends him, that's a different story. Lewis wasn't a pure interior lineman, and when he had to defend a pure center, it would be a disaster.

With Anjie nailed in the middle distance, everyone on the Heat team did not dare to act rashly. They could only watch Lewis and Robin play alone, hoping that this Mr. 100 million yuan of the Magic team back then could turn the tide.

However, the reality is always cruel. Robin Lopez just went back and Lewis was knocked back a big step!

Spoelstra's heart suddenly tightened, he didn't expect Anjie to let Lopez go to singles at first. What now?

The Heat's players always looked at their coach from time to time, but Spoelstra was slow to react.

In the end, James couldn't sit still. He ditched Iguodala for the three-second zone, hoping to join forces with Lewis to stop Lopez's offense.

But by the time James arrived, Lopez had advanced into a very comfortable position. He turned and hooked his hands, and Lewis had no chance of thwarting at all.

After a season of training with Anjie, Robin didn't learn nothing. At least this guy's hook hand is much more reliable than before.

The basketball hollowed into the net, and Robin Lopez pointed his finger at Anjie after scoring a goal to show his gratitude. And this is already the seventh consecutive goal hit by the Trail Blazers after the opening!

"Stop, pause!" Spoelstra shouted, and the Heat fans at the American Airlines Center cheered wildly on their team.

Everything is messed up, Spoelstra's setup before the start of the game is now all messed up!

After all, not all coaches have the courage to put their team's second-scoring point on the bench like Ricard. It also shows how terrifying the depth of the Trail Blazers' roster is. Even if the second scorer is not there, they can still suppress the Heat in other ways!

After the timeout, Anderson "Birdman" stepped on. Spoelstra sacrificed the team's attacking power, but increased their frame protection.

Letting Anderson defend a Robin who doesn't play well on offense is more than enough. Next, after continuing to put pressure on the outside of the Trail Blazers, their offensive efficiency will definitely be greatly affected!

However, when the Trail Blazers players also stepped onto the court, Spoelstra was desperate to see Aldridge appear!

"Coach Ricard brought LaMarcus on and we were still speculating whether Coach Ricard didn't let Aldridge play because he was injured. But now we can be sure that it's all just a tactical necessity!" Jeff Van Gundy had to marvel at Ricard's ability to handle the game, a guy who had nurtured Anjie.

Aldridge is back on the pitch, which means that all the adjustments Spoelstra has just made are in vain.

Anjie is still playing in the middle distance, while Aldridge is not falling behind against Anderson, who is no longer so bounced.

The game went on and on, and the Heat fans were living in dire straits. With 5:05 left in the quarter, Iguodala's forced layup was interfered with by James and missed. Although he managed to stop Iguodala's attack, James didn't look happy. Because this goal was the first shot conceded by the Trail Blazers today!

At this time, James stepped up again and provoked the team's beams. This situation reminded him of his time when he was still with the Cavaliers.

James hit back-to-back shots and scored eight straight points to narrow the gap slightly. But when Batum came off the bench and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Trail Blazers were able to end the first quarter with a score of 41-25.

That's right, 41-25, a 16-point difference! In just one quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers stretched the margin to 12 points!

And 41 points, which is also the highest score in a single quarter in the history of the Trail Blazers playoffs. Another record, like a bag, was once again in the pocket of An Jie and his teammates.

In the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers continued their hot hand. Anjie scored two, Iguodala scored two, and Lillard and Matthews scored one each. In the first six shots of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers still hit all of them!

What about the Heat? Their offense isn't bad either. It's just a pity that their opponents are too strong today.

The game played for a few more minutes, and perhaps because of physical reasons, the Trail Blazers' shooting percentage began to drop slightly, and the Heat's outside players gradually became hot.

Lewis hit two consecutive three-pointers in 32 seconds before Ray Allen stepped up again to return the favor. However, at the last moment, An Jie hit the basket in order to stabilize the situation, and won three times in a row to pull the score away again.

71-50, although the Miami Heat is close to some scores, the difference is still huge.

"This is our first home game in the Finals, we can't just give up the game! Fight together, we still have a full half of the game to close the gap! Everybody fight for me, it's not a game between LeBron and Wade, it's a game for all of us! Come on! We're not losing yet, the Trail Blazers will definitely let their guard down in the second half, that's our chance!" Spoelstra's shouting became the main theme of the American Airlines Center during the break. No way, no matter which coach encounters this situation, it is impossible to remain calm. What's more, this is the first game for the Heat at home.

If the first game is really lost, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the Heat players.

The Heat were not willing to be caught, and at the beginning of the second half, the group of guys launched a fierce attack like crazy.

Wade dragged the pair of painful knees and forcibly broke through, and hit An Jie a 2+1 as soon as he came up. LeBron James' tank-like rampage allowed the Heat to hit three-pointers for two consecutive rounds.

And what about the Trail Blazers? These lads seem to have been killed by a halftime break. The fiery feeling of the first half of the game has cooled down. Anjie was still able to deliver great passes, but his teammates couldn't keep throwing the ball in.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wade and James teamed up to lead the team to a 12-4 offensive surge. Rickard shouted anxiously for the first time and called out at the timeout.

The others feel cold, and it's time for Anjie to take over the game!

"You have unlimited fire, give me a shot through the Heat's interior!" Ricard slapped the tactics board hard, as if pressing the button to launch the nuclear bomb.

However, Anjie's power on the basketball court is much greater than that of a nuclear bomb!

When the tired James and Wade were both substituted, Anjie completely dominated the game. The Heat team's finally approaching point difference was pulled back little by little by An Jie.

For the remainder of the quarter, the Heat scored just one point. An Jie, who got unlimited firing rights, scored 7 points in 1 minute and 50 seconds to help the team continue to lead.

After being crushed for three full quarters, the morale of the Heat's players has faded. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. This sentence is perfect to describe the current Miami Heat.

In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, Anjie easily broke through Bosh in the middle distance.

Bosh fought back, but his footwork agility was simply not comparable to Anjie's.

Seeing that Bosh's defense was completely breached, Chris Anderson bravely made up for the basket. Anderson used to be one of Anjie's favorite players, and the guy's energetic style and exaggerated daring during the Nuggets period made the "Birdman" style very gorgeous.

But now, when "Birdman" faces An Jie, he can't fly anymore. Anderson raised his arms high, and before he could jump up, he was already pressed by An Jie!

Everyone held their breath, the collision between the two giants was too intense.

"Ahh

"Bang!" picked up his long arm, An Jie dunked successfully! And Anderson, the former "birdman", was knocked to the ground by An Jie in embarrassment!

An Jie did not show mercy to the players he once liked! And this violent dunk also made the Heat team completely lose confidence.

After that, the Trail Blazers played steadily and gradually grasped the situation. The Heat, on the other hand, could no longer organize an effective counterattack.

In the final minutes, Spoelstra replaced all the main players and even brought on players such as Oden and Battier, who barely got a chance to play.

It is clear that Spoelstra has given up resistance!

Heat fans were holding their heads in horror, and after winning the Trail Blazers last game, they would have been confident about their first home court of the day.

But now, the score on the big screen is 112 to 92. The defending champion Portland Trail Blazers finished the slaughter by just 20 points at the American Airlines Center!

"Incredible performance, 32 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, Ann used a triple-double statistic to let the Heat know the strength of the defending champions!" Charles Barkley, a proud guy, was also impressed by Anjie's dominance.

"There's one more game, guys, win one more game and we'll be home!" Anjie shouted in the middle of the bench after the game.

That's right, these horrible guys are already thinking about how to win the next game......
