Chapter 704: Fight to the End
Today, the player channel of Moda Center is very busy. Many strange faces appear here, because today, it is very likely that a new world champion will be born, so many NBA staff come here to prepare.
Looking at the busy scene in the players' passage, James couldn't help but remember the two years ago, in Miami, when the situation at the American Airlines Center was exactly the same as it is now. The difference is that the Heat were the one who could win the championship at that time.
"Slow down, if this thing is broken, we will be done!" At this moment, several workers carried a large box and walked towards the home team's locker room.
There is no sign on the box, but James knows that there is nothing else that can be moved to the locker room except champagne.
The Blazers owner, former Microsoft giant Paul Allen, spent $160,000 to prepare champagne for the players. Don’t look at the players spraying champagne like water after winning the championship. But in fact, every bottle of champagne in their hands is expensive.
In the atmosphere of the championship, James felt the strong atmosphere of the championship. The O'Brien Cup must be somewhere in the player's channel at this moment, waiting for its owner to take him away.
It seems that the Trail Blazers have regarded today as a celebration day. They have no intention of letting the series continue, they want to end everything at their doorstep!
"Fuck, you haven't won yet!" Looking at the scenes in front of you, James couldn't help but clench his fists. Today, he is going to be the disruptor who destroys other people's beautiful parties!

Katherine wore a T-shirt with the championship trophy and a championship commemorative baseball cap, jumping towards the Moda Center. Today, in the square outside the Moda Center, the Trail Blazers have built many large electronic screens and temporary stages. Because later, tens of thousands of fans who cannot enter the game will fight with the Trail Blazers off the court.
The enthusiastic DJ performance, the excited fans, before entering the venue, the warm atmosphere made Catherine feel adrenaline soar.
"Hey! Let me tell An Jie later, ask him to bring me a bottle of champagne! Those little brats can't ruin all the best champagne!" The bearded man poked his daughter with his elbow, and smiled with a scathing smile.
"Dad, you really, aren't there enough wine at home?" Just as the father and daughter were quarreling, the sharp-eyed Catherine discovered Anjie's parents. Catherine waved to the two old people, and saw that she was pregnant with her daughter-in-law so energetic, Anjie's parents smiled even happier.
"Oh, you should be slower, Catherine. You are in an extraordinary period now, so you can't be so careless anymore." In order to communicate with your daughter-in-law during this trip to the United States, Anjie's father learned spoken English two months in advance.
Although his current English pronunciation is still not standard, Catherine can still understand the meaning while listening and guessing.
"Hehe, it's okay, I will protect myself." Katherine replied with a smile.
After the meeting, the four people walked through the crowd, in front of the passage. Today, the passage was also crowded.
Big names and celebrities in all circles all hope to witness the birth of a new champion. So, before entering the market, Moda Center has already been shining with stars.
This is no longer like a game, but more like a large party scene. Almost everyone believes that Anjie will lead the team to win the championship today! However, they don’t know how much energy the three Heat giants ignored in the corner will burst out!
"The series is not over yet, guys! Look outside and look! These guys seem to have become 4-1 at this moment! I think we must use our performance to let those guys know that today is the fifth game of the finals, not the scene of a large party! The record is for breaking, we want to be the first team to win the championship 3-1 in the finals!" Spoelstra yelled in the locker room. This Filipino coach is rarely as excited as today.
The Heat players not only did not feel depressed at this moment, but instead became ready to fight because of the stimulation from the outside world.
Do you think you won? No, the Heat have not surrendered yet!

"Dwyne Wade's emergency stop jump shot is very beautiful! Look at Wesley Matthews, his defense should not be so loose! I know that today is likely to be the big day for the Trail Blazers. But the players must also work hard to finish this game!" At the beginning of the game, "Flash" Wade poured cold water on Portland fans with a beautiful emergency stop jump shot.
It was already bad enough that Lillard missed the shot from outside the three-point line just now. Who knew that as soon as he came, Wade returned the favor.
"It seems that the Heat have not given up on resistance. Judging from the momentum at the beginning, the Heat are still playing with the goal of turning the tables!" Mike Brin immediately caught Van Gundy's words. He rarely saw any team that could play so hard when they were behind 3-1.
After being scored a goal, the Trail Blazers seemed a little anxious. To be honest, the Heat had nothing to lose when the series reached this point. Instead, the Trail Blazers, which were about to win the Golden Cup, were under tremendous pressure.
The impatient Lillard wanted to hit the ball into the inside as soon as possible so that Anjie could stabilize the situation first. However, his basketball just passed out and was intercepted by James' big hand in the middle!
Compared to James, Lillard, the champion point guard, is still too immature. It can be seen from the fact that James completely locked Lillard in the last game that the gap between the two is still huge.
Besides, Lillard's intention to pass the ball this time was too obvious. Seeing that the basketball was intercepted, Ricard unconsciously started to swear.
But James would not stop because of Ricard's dissatisfaction. This strong and unwilling guy ran all the way. At this moment, James was completely an armed tank. As long as he was a tactful person, he would not want to stop this out of control "big truck".
James rode as a thousand, and suddenly jumped at the position of one step inside the free throw line. The strong guy stretched out his body in the air and raised the basketball high. The next second, LeBron swung his all, and the basketball was smashed into the box with all his might!
"The iconic tomahawk-style buckle, LeBron James! This is definitely a dangerous sign. If the Trail Blazers want to end everything in Portland, they'd better work harder!" Kenny Smith's roar even overshadowed the noisy booing at the scene. James' dunk did not win applause from Portland fans, but won himself dignity.
At the beginning of the game, Wade and James expressed their opinions. Even in this series, the Heat's hope is really not great. But they will still fight to the end! If the Heat want to present the championship trophy to Anjie with both hands? Don't even think about it!
"Please cheer up, guys, we still have 48 minutes to play! You can't lose, you must not lose today!" An Jie also saw that his teammates were a little relaxed and impatient. At this time, he had to take the lead on the court.
An Jie first shouted loudly, and then he would use his actions to set an example for his teammates.
This time, Lillard never dared to pass the ball carelessly again. Even when facing Chalmos, who had been defeated by him several times, Lillard was very cautious.
Anjie fought hard in the depths. No matter how Bosh obstructed him, Anjie would use his strength and skills to squeeze out space.
James is ready for steals again. Angel is so hard at the position, and Lillard's pass target must be his!
At this moment, Lillard started to pass the ball! The basketball flew over to Chalmos' scalp. James immediately moved a step and was about to reach out to steal.
However, the basketball did not fly towards Angel, but moved towards Iguodala's position.
"Damn it!" James immediately took back his steps and forced his center of gravity. However, even James could not be faster than the speed of basketball.
When James finally came back from defense, Iguodala had already held the ball. As soon as Iguodala received the ball, she made a pass from James' armpit. After a round, the basketball was finally safely sent to Anjie!
No matter how strong James is, he cannot intercept all the passes from the Trail Blazers players. But he still did not give up. The unyielding Heat No. 6 dropped Iguodala and rushed straight to Anjie.
Anjie glanced at James in the outskirts of his eyes and knew that someone was coming to double-team, Anjie was also mentally prepared to avoid being intercepted by James as last year.
Why is Anjie terrifying? Why can he sweep the entire basketball world? Not only because Anjie's performance on the court is already strong enough, but because even now, people find that Anjie's ability seems to have not been capped yet!
Last season, James could use this secret double-team to defend Angel. But this year, the same trick is no longer useful.
Anjie pushed his butt back hard. This collision also made Bosh think that Anjie wanted to break into the basket with his back chop.
Just as Bosh had just adjusted his load-bearing foot and planned to defend Anjie, Anjie's pace suddenly changed!
I saw the tall No. 00 turn around flexibly and pass Bosh with just one step. The top defense can allow an inside line with insufficient strength to withstand a violent impact, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to change the center of gravity. If the opponent breaks through, the top defense will be difficult to react. It is precisely this that An Jie easily completed the breakthrough.
After turning around and breaking through, James and Bosh were both blocked by Angel's strong back.
An Jie jumped directly under the basket, and it seemed that a powerful dunk was inevitable. Bosh also jumped up quickly, but he couldn't even reach the ball.
Where is James? James just stood there, watching the 00, who was getting higher and higher, completed the dunk. The "Little Emperor" knew that if he reached out now, it would definitely be a foul. He would rather give An Jie two points than give him a chance to score three points.
After turning around and breaking through, the strong pulling of the frame was pulled. As soon as Anjie scored a goal, the entire Moda Center and the square outside the court burst into screams from the fans. The fans pressed down their hands together, lowered their heads, and shouted loudly: "Salute to His Majesty the King!"
Want to stir up the championship night of Yellow Rose City? James and Wade have to ask the rulers here if they agree!
Three not simple people, three extremely exciting goals. Game 5 of the finals seemed to be more exciting than people imagined.
Chapter completed!
