The Way of the Center

Chapter 848 : Man’s catharsis

Although 29 years old is still at a very young stage in a person’s life. But for professional athletes, 29 years old is already a relatively old age.

This is almost the end of An Jie’s physical function peak. Once he is 30 years old, the body of a professional athlete will be worse than a year.

As an Asian, and once severely injured both knees, An Jie can clearly feel that his physical fitness is much more strained than before.

In the past finals, Anjie still retains vitality even if he has completed seven games. But now, An Jie’s body can only be described as overwhelmed.

You know, Yao Ming, the last Chinese big man who played well in the NBA, retired early at the age of 31. And when Yao Ming was 29 years old, he basically couldn’t play any ball because he was overwhelmed.

Moreover, in the finals of this season, Anjie’s support is very limited. For the first three consecutive championships, An Jie was surrounded by Lillard, Aldridge and Iguodala. And now, there is indeed a lack of stars around Anjie. In this case, An Jie has to take on more responsibilities, so the physical strength he needs to pay must be doubled.

The total score in the finals has become 3 to 2, and the Trail Blazers have won the match point. But from the outside world, it is difficult for the exhausted Anjie to lead the team to two consecutive victories in a continuous run. What’s more, this sixth game is still in the Quicken Loans Center Arena. Even if the Trail Blazers want to create a miracle to win the championship, they have to wait until the game returns to the Moda Center.

Therefore, although the Trail Blazers got the match point, when Anjie and the others flew to Cleveland again by plane, no one thought they could return in triumph except for local fans in Portland and some Chinese fans.

Countless fans began to search the Moda Center for tickets for the tiebreaker. There is no doubt that the tickets for this game will be sold out early. Fans hope to pre-purchase now.

However, everyone was shocked that the Trail Blazers officially did not intend to sell tickets for the tiebreaker. What Nell Orsi wants to express is obvious, his team will definitely be able to solve the battle in Cleveland! The tiebreaker will not exist at all!

Such a situation is very rare in the league. Some people say that Orsi is the most determined general manager, while others say that he is a fool who cannot accept reality.

But there is no doubt that Olsi, as the general manager, his approach has definitely greatly boosted the morale of the team.

Anjie is very grateful to the fans and Olsi and others for their support to himself and his teammates, but he knows that it is himself and the people who are sitting around him that really determine the outcome of the game.

In the last round of the series, facing a powerful warrior. An Jie hit the tiebreaker, and then relied on a lore to get through. Facing the O’Brien Cup, Anjie must not let this dangerous situation happen again.

It’s been the last moment, if you lose the O’Brien Cup, it will be too shocking. In any case, Anjie will keep his record of unbeaten in the finals.

Everyone is not optimistic that the Blazers who have already won the match point can win the championship in the Quicken Loans Center Arena? It doesn’t matter, whether I can win the championship, it doesn’t matter whether you are optimistic, it has nothing to do with!

An Jie walked in the player channel of the Quicken Loans Center Arena. At this time in previous years, the player channel must be very busy. The staff who carry the O’Brien Cup, the workers who carry the champagne, the volunteers who are preparing for the championship… The appearance of these people often means that An Jie is infinitely close to the O’Brien Cup.

But this year, the player channel is empty. I heard Ricard said that the O’Brien Cup did come, but it was just a fake. The real one has been transported to Moda Center to prepare for the tiebreaker. The officials feared that the real trophy would be damaged if it was hauled back and forth, so they took a fake one to Cleveland. To put it bluntly, even the NBA officials don’t think that today’s game can determine the championship.

As for Champagne, in this situation, if Champagne is prepared in advance and the team loses, the impact on the players will be even greater. Therefore, Paul Allen, a boss who is willing to spend money for the winner, did not prepare in advance this year.

It seems that today this is an ordinary game, without a championship atmosphere. But these things didn’t make An Jie feel discouraged, but instead made the tall guy clenched his fists involuntarily.

Now that the official has shipped the real O’Brien Cup to Portland, there is no need to trouble James to take it away! The O’Brien Cup, just stay there. An Jie must take away the victory of today’s game!

On the other side, in the Cavaliers’ locker room, Tyron Lue is busy making the final deployment for the players. Although the outside world believes that the Cavaliers’ home court will not fall, Tyron Lu cannot relax like the reporters.

No matter what, the Cavaliers must win today’s game. Otherwise, they won’t have the next game to play.

LeBron James sat in front of his cabinet, listening carefully to the arrangements made by Tyronn Lue. After playing later, James will definitely spare no effort to fight. Because he knew that Anjie would do the same.

After so many years, James did not expect that he would meet Anjie again so soon. The Cavaliers have already defeated the Warriors who are also super teams. This year, let the Blazers become the second defeated player!

When Anjie and James both led the team out of the player channel, there was an earth-shattering cry from the Quicken Loans Center Arena.

Two great stars, two great teams. This is about to start the battle of life and death.

The Cavaliers fans are very enthusiastic. They waved their signs and shouted slogans while the players were still warming up.

The voice of “Break the Torn City” fluctuated continuously, making Ricard even have to roar to communicate with Divac who was beside him.

An Jie closed his eyes after shooting a few baskets, hands on hips. He was feeling the taste of war and enjoying the shouts of the fans. There is no championship and champagne, as long as you have these, there is a championship atmosphere!

An Jie opened his eyes abruptly, picked up a basketball on the ground, and went straight to the basket. His legs slammed hard and jumped high When Anjieteng reached the highest point, his strong arms suddenly exerted force, pushing the basketball into the box!

“Hey!” The loud noise from the rim made James, who was shooting from beyond the three-point line, couldn’t help but glance back.

An Jie clung to the basket tightly, and did a pull-up on it before he was willing to let go.

“Ah!” An Jie yelled after landing and hammered his own chest. At this moment, I don’t know how many Trail Blazers fans in front of the TV are yelling with him.

“Come on, come back with the championship!” Catherine folded her hands and prayed to heaven. No matter what the outside world says, Anjie will always be Catherine, Portland, and a hero of China!

“This kid, I’m very excited today!” James couldn’t help but curl his mouth after watching Anjie’s venting of his emotions. It seems that today’s battle will not let James down.

For the fourth championship, Anjie has come to the last step. Solving the battle in Cleveland, this is Anjie’s only goal at the moment!

The champion will be born here!
