Catherine walked through the mall with her son in her arms, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, and she didn't attract much attention. Occasionally, one or two people who recognized her identity only smiled in surprise and did not come forward to disturb.

At this juncture in the Western Conference Finals, even though Anjie is in Portland, he doesn't have much time to spend with his family.

Train during the day and watch the footage at night. When he came home, he was exhausted. In the days without An Jie's company, Catherine and An Xiang certainly wouldn't stay at home so bored every day, so today, seeing that the weather was good, Catherine took her son out for a walk.

In the huge mall, Catherine has seen countless people wearing Trail Blazers jerseys. And most of them are wearing Anjie's number 00.

In the stores of sports brands, there are countless large promotional posters for the Western Conference Finals. AnJie's center-forward series sneakers are still the staple of Nike stores in all places.

The city has been completely transformed by Anjie, and even when Catherine is away from home, wherever she goes, you'll find that the city is all about basketball.

Tired of walking, Catherine took An Xiang to a coffee shop to rest, and across the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop was also a building that reached into the sky. An Xiang looked around, and suddenly stretched out his little hand.

"Look, it's Daddy!" An Xiang pointed to the opposite building and shouted, his voice naturally attracted the attention of the adjacent tables of customers.

Catherine looked in the direction of An Xiang's finger, and there was a huge billboard in the center of the building opposite. Obviously, this billboard was just replaced.

On the billboard, there is a half-length photo of the Trail Blazers' starting five tigers. An Jie stood in the middle with a basketball in his arms, and the other four stood on either side of An Jie with their hands on their chests.

Under the billboard, white letters form a simple but powerful sentence. "Defend your home turf!"

There is no doubt that this is an official billboard set up by the Trail Blazers specifically to promote the Western Conference Finals tie-break. Defending the home field, that's the theme of the whole city of Portland in recent days.

The Trail Blazers' most important home defense game of all time seemed to make the city feel like it was really going to war.

"Tomorrow Dad's game, do you think he can win?" Seeing that the people around her recognized her because of her peaceful actions, Catherine simply took off her sunglasses.

"Dad will definitely win, tomorrow they will fight in the center of Moda." An excited expression appeared on An Xiang's little face, and Catherine shook her head with a smile. This little guy may be more obsessed with the court than An Jie in the future......

"Change the guard, change the guard! Napier, you're not changing guards fast enough! Remember, be decisive, as soon as you hesitate, the Warriors will have a chance! "If even the outside world has been wrapped up in the atmosphere of the war, then the atmosphere in the Moda Center, which is the center of the war, is even more tense.

Although the tie-break will start tomorrow night, the Trail Blazers did not relax their training today. Now is not the time to rest, and if tomorrow's game is lost, the Trail Blazers will rest all summer with grievances.

"Come again! Remember, change guards quickly and decisively! Tomorrow's game, any chance you give the other side could change the whole game. It's a battle for every ball, gentlemen, every ball for every ball! Rickard blew the whistle and the players immediately moved again.

On the field, most of the players were shirtless, and the exhausted George was one of them.

As one of the stars of this team, George's determination to win is as strong as Anjie's. It can be said that in addition to An Jie on the entire training ground, the hardest working person is him Paul. George.

He has always followed Anjie, whether it is defeat or victory, whether it is training or competing. He doesn't want to fall behind, because he hasn't forgotten that his dream is to become a great player like An Jie!

So even though he was exhausted, George was still serious about training. In the face of Evan. Turner's defense, he suddenly changed direction in a large arc, allowing himself to pass the defense cleanly.

"It's fast!" Divac couldn't help but muttered to himself, George's breakthrough, even if Leonard came, it might not be able to stop it.

After breaking through Turner, George faced Anjie's basket and was not afraid. This guy knows that if he and An Jie come hard, it will only be covered. So this guy held the ball with both hands and stepped out with both feet in a big arc. George dodged Anjie's defense with a European step with a huge arc and made a successful layup.

But just as George hit the ground, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. An Jie hurriedly went up to help, at this time, there can be no more accidents.

"How? It's okay man! Angel stretched out her hands and pulled George up.

"No problem!" George waved his hand, but no one noticed that his expression was not very natural.

An ordinary fall, which is not at all surprising on the training ground. Basketball is a highly confrontational sport, and since it is confrontational, it is inevitable to bump and bump. An Jie is such a big man, he has to fall seven or eight times every time he trains.

George quickly got back into training, knowing he had to keep it up no matter what.......

"Defend! Defend! Defend! Defend! "May 27, 2018, half past nine in the evening, Moda Center.

In the stands, the neat shouts of the Trail Blazers fans uniformly dressed in dark red short sleeves made Curry feel like the court was shaking under his feet.

Not only the players, but the fans also know how important this game is to them. Therefore, they were unable to help the team on the field, so they played the role of the sixth man in their own way.

Curry called a pick-and-roll, Drummond. Green immediately came out. Morris clung to the stout creature in front of him, for fear he would get the slightest bit of space.

At this time, the tie-break battle has reached the last quarter. The score is tied at 85, and there are four and a half minutes left before the end of the game.

The game was as exciting as the fans expected, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and the fight was very intense. The Warriors want to break the curse that no one can win on the road in this series, and Angel is sworn to defend the Moda Center.

When Curry was about to break through with a pick-and-roll, Napier quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and re-stuck it. After practicing blocking and pick-and-roll defense for so long, Napier's improvement is very noticeable. Although Curry still broke through, Napier was constantly distracting by his side.

Seeing Curry kill the basket, An Jie immediately left Pachulia to guard under the basket. Even if Curry passes the ball to Pachulia now, Anjie can go back quickly.

The fans were still shouting "defend" at all their might, and Curry still felt like the whole court was shaking. His eyes were fixed on the direction of the basket, but he passed the ball to the back of his head and broke through the ball!

The basketball was accurately passed to Durant, who ran out of position, not because Curry had a long eye in the back of his head, but because he knew the Warriors' tactics by heart. When and which player should be in which position, Curry knows it all in his mind.

This kind of guy is often a huge threat on the field, because Anjie is also such a type of player.

Curry's non-sightly breakthrough made the commentators applaud, but Durant had just received the ball and had no time to shoot before he was killed by Paul. George was sentangled.

Of course, Durant will not give up on offense because of George's defense, he took a step with the ball and immediately forced a breakthrough with his shoulder against George's chest. Don't look at Durant's figure as a "bamboo pole", but this guy is not afraid of physical confrontation at all.

Although George has retreated repeatedly, he has always stayed around Durant. If Durant wants to force a layup, it will be very difficult.

Sure enough, Durant wanted to use his reach advantage to attack the frame directly. Even if George is next to him, even if Angel is under the basket at the moment, Durant still intends to do so.

Perhaps for others, this is a self-defeating act. But for Durant, it's an opportunity to score!

Durant stepped forward, holding George with his right hand and holding the basketball high with his left hand, ready to go to the basket.

The lanky 35 kicked the ground and leaped high. Anjie showed no weakness, and although there was a George between him and Durant, he still had a chance to complete the block.

George is also ready to jump with Durant and continue to press. However, as he exerted his legs, George screamed, and then fell to the ground!

"Brush." The basketball sent by Durant went over Anjie's fingertips and crashed into the net.

Anjie ignored Durant's goal, but carefully watched his feet, for fear of stepping on George, who fell to the ground, when he landed.

George gritted his teeth, looking like he was holding back the pain. Although his expression was very strong, An Jie still saw that this guy was holding his ankles with both hands.

"What's going on!?" An Jie knelt on one knee and asked with concern.

"It's okay! Help me up! George said, grabbing Angel with one hand.

With a strong force, An Jie pulled George up from the ground. However, what George didn't expect was that his right foot couldn't touch the ground at all. As soon as you touch the bottom, your ankle will hurt your heart!

Watching George limp on the field, Ricard's expression became nervous. He thought it was just an ordinary fall, but for now, it doesn't seem that simple!

The next second, Riccard saw Anjie waving at him. What does that mean...... That means it's calling the team doctor!

"Damn it!" Rickard kicked the bench and followed the team doctor onto the pitch. He pushed his way through the crowd to the middle, only to find that George's ankle was swollen unbelievably.

"What's going on!?" Rickard crouched down and asked loudly.

"When I first jumped, I felt like I was stepped on by someone. Two huge forces tugged and made my ankles twist suddenly. And ......" George looked at Ricard, and stopped talking.

"And what?"

"I had some discomfort in my ankle after I fell down in training yesterday. It's just that I don't want to give up today's game, so ...... So I didn't say it. "George's ultra-high speed change of direction yesterday in extreme exhaustion had already caused slight wear and tear on his ankle. And after being stepped on at the beginning of the jump, George's ankle was completely exploded.

Rickard didn't know what to say, he didn't dare curse God, or else this guy would have been swearing a lot by now.

"How do you feel?" An Jie, who was holding George, was also very nervous.

"I think it's good to take a break." George wanted to play, and he knew the fight wasn't over yet.

"I'm afraid that's not the case, kid. Look at your ankles, if they're so swollen, I don't dare say you can take a break and get back on the pitch. And the chief team doctor's words poured cold water on George, Angel and Ricard.

Just as everyone on the Trail Blazers was observing George's injury, the whole process of George's injury had already begun on the big screen on the scene.

Just when George was defending Durant, he was going to jump, but he was beaten by Drummond next to him. Green stepped on it. The pull of two huge forces caused George's ankle to appear exaggerated and deformed.

Nobody knows about Drummond. Whether Green did it on purpose or not, An Jie would rather believe that this guy was unintentional, otherwise, he would have abolished him with his own hands!

Green looked at the big screen and spread his hands innocently. At that time, he just wanted to get stuck in position and get an offensive rebound, and he didn't expect his foot to step on George, who was jumping.

But for a guy with a "long history", who knows if his innocence is true or false.

"I'll take him to the hospital for a full examination right now, and I don't know if I can play in the next game, but this tie-break ......" The team doctor who was squatting on the ground glanced up at Ricard and Anjie. The remaining four minutes of this tie-break are up to you. ”

"No, sir. I could, I just needed a break! When George heard this, he was more anxious than anyone present.

"Alright George, go ahead. I promise you, I'll make it to the finals! Just when George was struggling in his heart, An Jie suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"But ......"

"Don't you believe me?" Before George could finish speaking, An Jie snatched the right to speak. An Jie's confident smile always makes people believe his words.

With the help of the team doctor, George limped to the players' tunnel. In the stands at the Moda Center, fans were holding their heads in their hands, and after losing Lillard, they were actually losing George again. Although I don't know what the injury is, it is certain that this game will definitely not be played.

The Warriors are still two points ahead and the game is over with four minutes to go. At this time, George was injured, and the blow to the Trail Blazers was self-evident.

But An Jie, he didn't panic. The guy gathered everyone and stood in the middle to talk to them.

An Jie hasn't given up yet, An Jie, and he doesn't plan to fail like this. The game is not over yet, this damn war, there is no winner yet!

"For George, for Damien, for the championship, defend our home turf!" An Jie's shout made the remaining players of the Trail Blazers all clench their fists.

As long as the leaders of the Trail Blazers haven't given up, the Warriors won't get away with it.

Portland's tallest flag still stands.
