Chapter 701: Reappearance of the tragedy

When the players screamed at the airport, Ricard knew that these boys would not be in bad shape.

But what he didn't expect was that today when the game began, the Trail Blazers played so smoothly!

The Heat, who returned to Miami one night in advance, did a lot of drills for the Trail Blazers' tactics in advance, but as soon as they stepped onto the court today, everything Spoelstra did turned into useless work.

Ricard unexpectedly mentioned Robin Lopez's starting lineup and Anger were partnered with the inside, and this change of formation caught Spoelstra off guard.

Without Aldridge, the Trail Blazers also made great changes on the offensive end. With Robin, a guy who is willing to fight, who is in the inside, Anjie can come out with confidence and boldness.

There is no need to say how terrifying Anjie is in the middle distance. Whether it is organization or scoring, whether it is pick-and-roll or support, Anjie can make the entire team better.

With Angel's clear pass, other players of the Trail Blazers can easily get many opportunities. When the opportunity comes out, the shooting percentage will also increase.

The Trail Blazers' offense, this time, Spoelstra ordered Bosh to come forward to confront Angel. But this also means that the Heat's basket will be handed over to Lewis to guard.

Chris Bosh is the only one with some franchise protection ability in the Heat's lineup, but when Lewis was beaten into a sieve by Angel, Spolstra had to make some adventures.

Seeing that the Heat had to compromise, Anger's mouth slightly raised. Spolstra's doing this was not worth the effort!

This time, Anjie did not play too complicated tactics anymore. Standing at the middle distance, he directly passed the ball over Bosh's head, and the basketball went straight to the inside. Robin Lopez, who was in a good position, held the ball with his back.

Robin is not like his elder brother Brooke. He is a blue-collar insider. Scoring is never Robin's strength.

But if the person who defends him is Rashad Lewis, that's another matter. Lewis is not a pure inside player, and when he has to defend a pure center, it will be a disaster.

With Angel nailing at the middle distance, no one on the Heat dared to act rashly. They could only watch Lewis and Robin play singles, hoping that Mr. Billion from the Magic back then could turn the tide.

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

Spoelstra's heart suddenly tightened. At first, he didn't expect Angel to let Lopez play singles. What should I do now? Double-team or not?

The Heat players always look at their coach from time to time, but Spoelstra has not responded for a long time.

In the end, James couldn't sit still. He left Iguodala and rushed to the three-second zone, hoping to join forces with Lewis to stop Lopez's attack.

But when James arrived, Lopez had already advanced to a very comfortable position. He turned around and hooked, and Lewis had no chance to block it.

Robin didn't learn anything after training with An Jie for a season. At least this guy's hook is much more reliable than before.

The basketball was hollowed out into the net. After Robin Lopez scored, he pointed at Anjie with his finger to show his gratitude. This is the seventh consecutive goal the Trail Blazers have hit after the opening game!

"Suspend, pause!" Spoelstra shouted loudly, while the Heat fans at the American Airlines Center were playing for their teams frantically.

Everything is in chaos. The arrangements made by Spoelstra before the start of the game are now in chaos!

After all, not all coaches dare to press their team's second scoring point on the bench like Ricard. From this, we can also see how terrible the depth of the Trail Blazers' lineup is. Even if the second scoring point is not there, they can still suppress the Heat in other ways!

After returning from the timeout, "Birdman" Anderson went on the game. Spoelstra sacrificed the team's attack power, but enhanced his ability to protect the frame.

It is more than enough to let Anderson defend a Robin who is not good at offense. Next, if you continue to put pressure on the Trail Blazers' outside, their offensive efficiency will definitely be greatly affected!

However, when the Trail Blazers players also stepped onto the court, Spoelstra saw in despair that Aldridge came on the court!

"Coach Ricard replaced Lamarcus. We were still speculating before that Coach Ricard did not allow Aldridge to play because he was injured. But now we can be sure that all this is just a tactical requirement!" Jeff Van Gundy had to admire Ricard's ability to grasp the game. This guy is worthy of being the one who has cultivated Angel.

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

Angel still plays at mid-range, and Aldridge is not at a disadvantage when facing Anderson, who is no longer so capable of jumping around.

The game continued like this, and the Heat fans were living in dire straits. With 5 minutes and 5 seconds left in this quarter, Iguodala's forced layup was interfered by James and failed to hit. Although it successfully stopped Iguodala's attack, James didn't look happy. Because this goal was the first goal that the Trail Blazers missed today!

At this time, James stood up again and took the lead in the team. This situation reminded him of his time with the Cavaliers.

James scored eight points in a row, narrowing the gap slightly. But when Batum, who came on the bench, made a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Trail Blazers were able to end the first quarter with a score of 41-25.

That's right, the difference between 41 and 25, 16 points! In just one quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers widened the difference to 12 points!

41 points is also the highest score in the Trail Blazers' playoff history. Another record, like a bag taken from the bag, was once again won by An Jie and his teammates.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers continued their hot touch. Angel scored two goals, Iguodala scored two goals, and Lillard and Matthews scored one goal each. The Trail Blazers still hit all the first six shots in the second quarter!

What about the Heat? Their offense is actually not bad. Unfortunately, their opponents are too strong today.

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

Lewis made two consecutive three-pointers in 32 seconds, and then Ray Allen also stood up again to retaliate. However, in the last moment, Anjie forced his way to the basket to stabilize the situation, and scored three times in a row, and opened the score again.

71 to 50, although the Miami Heat were closer to some scores, the gap was still huge.

"This is our first home court in the finals, we can't just give up the game like this! Let's fight, we still have a whole half time to fill in the gap! Everyone is fighting for me. This is not a game between LeBron and Wade, this is a game for all of us! Come on! We haven't lost yet, the Trail Blazers will definitely relax their vigilance in the second half, that's our chance!" During the break between the festival, Spoelstra's shouting became the main theme of the American Airlines Center. There is no way, no matter which coach encounters this situation, it is impossible to be calm. What's more, this is the Heat's first home game.

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

The Heat were unwilling to surrender. At the beginning of the second half, these guys launched a fierce attack like crazy.

Wade dragged his painful knees to break through forcibly, and as soon as he came up, he hit Anger with a 21. LeBron James was very tank-like, giving the Heat a chance to score three-pointers for two consecutive rounds.

And what about the Trail Blazers? These young men seemed to be hurt by a halftime break. The hot touch in the first half had cooled down. An Jie could still send a wonderful pass, but his teammates could not continue to throw the ball.

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

The others felt cold, so it was time for Anjie to take over the game!

"You have unlimited fire rights, break through the Heat's inside line!" Ricard slapped the tactical board hard, as if pressing the button for the nuclear bomb launch.

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

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

In the remaining time of this quarter, the Heat only scored one point. And An Jie, who got the unlimited fire, scored 7 points in one minute and fifty seconds, helping the team continue to lead.

After being suppressed for three full quarters, the morale of the Heat players has declined. One move has declined again and then exhausted. This sentence is perfect to describe the current Miami Heat.

In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, Anjie easily broke through Bosh at mid-range.

Bosh chased back with all his strength, but his pace flexibility was simply incomparable to Anjie.

Seeing that Bosh's defense was completely broken, Chris Anderson bravely made up for defense at the basket. Anderson was once one of the players Anger liked very much. The explosive style of this guy during the Nuggets period made the "Birdman"'s style very gorgeous.

But now, when the "Birdman" faces An Jie, he can no longer fly. An Jie is tough and dunks! Anderson raised his arms high and was already suppressed by An Jie before he jumped up!

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

"Ah!" An Jie continued to increase his strength in the air and shouted.

"Bang!" He swung his long arm and An Jie successfully dunked! And the former "Birdman" Anderson was knocked to the ground by An Jie in a mess!

A dunk from another person! An Jie did not show mercy to the players he once liked! This dunk also completely lost confidence in the Heat.

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

In the last few minutes, Spoelstra replaced all the main players together, and even sent players like Oden and Bathir who had almost no chance of playing.

Obviously, Spoelstra gave up resisting!

The fans of the Heat were all in horror. After winning the Trail Blazers in the last game, they were full of confidence in their first home court today.

But now, the score on the big screen is 112 to 92. The defending champion Portland Trail Blazers completed the massacre with only 20 points at the American Airlines Center!

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

"There is one more guys, win another one and we can go home!" After the game, Anjie shouted in the center of the bench.
Chapter completed!
