Chapter 763: The Dark Knight
Stephen Curry must be very depressed today. He didn't play well in two consecutive key battles related to the match point snatch.
In the last game, the Warriors had the opportunity to fly to Portland with a score of 3-1. But in the end, because Anger's blowout and Curry's shooting percentage were only 38%, the Warriors lost a home court, allowing Anger to tie the total score in the series to 2-2.
Next, the Trail Blazers have two home courts, and the Warriors have only one chance to play at home. In other words, the Warriors are already passive. To solve this problem, the Warriors must win this game at Moda Center in order to reverse the situation.
However, today, Curry still didn't play his best side. Although Curry scored a lot today, he basically made a pile of things by shooting.
So far, Curry's shooting percentage is only 39%. This is undoubtedly a failed score for a scoring expert who is known for his high efficiency.
But even so, Cole still trusts Curry, and Curry still maintains confidence. Even if this guy misses ten shots in front, Cole will definitely choose Curry for the eleventh key attack. This may be the role of a superstar.
At this moment, Curry was replacing the ball under his crotch in front of Old Miller, hoping to find a gap and then suddenly start!
Although Old Miller has a good defensive awareness, his slow pace showed a disadvantage at the moment Curry suddenly started.
Curry didn't call a pick-and-roll, so he easily broke through Miller and headed into the penalty area.
Thomas Robinson, this is a very active, athletic and quite strong inside line. He is now on Curry's must-pass road and is ready to intercept the attack at any time.
Curry looked up at Thomas Robinson, a guy with tattooed arms, looked like he was not a good guy. But Curry was not afraid at all. He had seen many of these insiders who could only jump and run. However, none of them could stop him.
Curry's eyes suddenly became sharp. He suddenly jumped while dribbling, and then almost threw the ball out. Thomas Robinson had no time to react when a quick throw during a breakthrough!
He jumped high and had to admit that Thomas Robinson's bounce was indeed scary. But his weak ability in judging the timing of blocking and predicting the entire defense made his bounce play little.
The basketball thrown by Curry crossed Thomas Robinson's fingertips and fell steadily into the net.
Curry spitted out his braces and jumped around proudly. Through this goal, the Warriors officially reversed the score! This was also the first time in this game that the Warriors had taken the lead under such a difficult situation.
"It's time, boss." Seeing that the team had been rebelled, An Jie could no longer sit still.
Ricard looked at the time and scores, and then looked at the knees wrapped tightly by Anjie. Weakness is often the first cause of injury. Anjie's meniscus has been severely damaged, and every excessive use is a wear and tear on his knees.
Look at Wade, although he does not have a meniscus, he still has his own glory in the NBA. But now, isn’t the “Flash” just tortured by this damn knee?
"I have been playing all the games for two consecutive seasons and have not missed any game, boss. The injury is over for me." Angel knew what Ricard was thinking, and he rubbed his knees and made a "ok" gesture to Ricard.
"Damn it, I can only try it!" Ricard made up his mind in his heart. He suddenly picked up the tactical board and squatted in front of Anjie wearing a mask. Under the dark mask, there were eyes longing for victory.
"Listen to An, if you can't win this game, don't fucking go back to the locker room."
An Jie burst out and laughed. "Leave it to me, boss!"
Finally, in another attack by the Warriors, the game finally died after Thomas Robinson committed a foul by Harrison Barnes.
On the sidelines, An Jie, who had been waiting in front of the technical station for a long time, suddenly stood up. At this moment, all the cameras of the TV stations in the audience were aimed at An Jie's face wearing a black mask.
"An is back!"
"Ang Jie appeared again after only three and a half minutes in the fourth quarter!"
"Coach Ricard made a desperate bet, and now Angel is his only choice!"
The commentators of various TV stations were excited by An Jie's appearance, and a fierce battle was inevitable!
The person who was replaced by Angel was Aldridge, and the physically energetic Thomas Robinson continued to stay on the court to assist Angel.
Although Robinson is on the court, Anger can indeed save worry about rebounding and defense. On the offensive end, Anger will definitely be double-teamed. After all, Thomas Robinson has basically zero other than running and jumping. Even if he is left alone at mid-range, he still has no threat.
In this way, An Jie began his own counterattack.
After Barnes made the second free throw, the Trail Blazers got the ball back and began to organize the offense.
This time, Anjie did not take the position in the inside. Because as long as Anjie stood firm in the inside, Azeli and Bogut would both surround him.
He played Old Miller with hand from outside the three-point line, and Thomas Robinson was disturbed at the basket. No matter how bold Azeri was, he would never be able to keep Thomas Robinson alone at the basket.
Bogut couldn't help but let Anjie take two steps. He knew that Anjie would definitely take advantage of his slow pace to make a breakthrough.
An Jie held the ball in both hands and made several test steps. Bogut dared not change the center of gravity at all. As long as there was a slight flaw, he could not escape An Jie's palm.
Just as everyone in the Warriors was waiting for the battle, An Jie, who was planning to break through, suddenly threw the ball into the air casually. Everyone's eyes followed the basketball, and Thomas Robinson's tattooed hand suddenly stretched out.
He used his perverted bounce ability to grab the basketball steadily and smash the ball into the basket with force!
When Angel and Thomas Robinson completed the air relay, everyone in the Warriors stood there.
What did you give birth just now?
Anjie, who was most valued on the offensive end, actually gave an air relay to Thomas Robinson, who was most valued on the offensive end. This situation was something that no one expected in advance.
Azelley thought Thomas Robinson was away from the penalty area just to do a pick-and-roll without the ball, but he didn't know that his inaction gave Robinson room to sprint.
Angel proudly slapped Robinson, and the celebrations between the two seemed to be really ridiculing the Warriors' defense.
"It's okay! We're still two points ahead! Continue to attack the inside and continue!" Cole shouted on the sideline, stabilizing the morale of the Warriors.
He still believed that as long as he continued to attack the inside, An Jie would be dragged down sooner or later!
Curry once again broke through Old Miller with basketball. Facing Anjie, Curry planned to use the same trick again. Even Anjie may not be able to intercept such fast throwing.
Just as the basketball was about to start falling, An Jie touched the basketball that was thrown high in his palm and slapped it out!
The color inside the Ku was ashen and exactly the same. His throwing could play with Thomas Robinson, but he could not pose a threat to Angel!
Jeff Van Gundy grew up and was probably not a problem to stuff a can bottle into his mouth.
The height of Anjie's just completed the seal is so exaggerated that even the picture of Robinson's just completed the air relay is incomparable.
The experienced Iguodala received a basketball that was blown out by Angel, then advanced with the trend, tricked Harrison Barnes with a European step layup, and successfully helped the team tie the score.
An Jie, the "mask hero", has just been on the court less than a minute, and the situation has changed by 180 degrees!
Cole thinks that Angel is not a level hero, he is wrong. Angel is the Dark Knight of the City of Rose!
The Warriors once again came with resentment, and Curry's breakthrough was still firm. This time, Curry slipped the baseline and made a layup. He was good at the ball and was ready to avoid An Jie's block in this way.
However, the experienced Anjie will not be deceived by such tricks. Curry's pulling move was seen through by Anjie. The result of his doing so was that Anjie got his fourth block in the game, and Curry's shooting percentage fell below 3o%!
After Curry's attack failed, An Jie continued his strong momentum.
This time, Azeli watched Thomas Robinson tightly, for fear that the aerial relay would appear on his head again.
Anjie looked at the situation on the court with satisfaction. After Azeli was restricted, his attack became much easier.
I saw An Jie directly breaking through after receiving the ball at the middle distance. Bogut, who was slow, had no time to move horizontally, and An Jie had already crossed the defense.
Azeli made up for defense, but Anjie still did not reduce. The two were about to collide, but Anjie suddenly jumped, avoided Azeli, came to the basket, and then jumped on the spot and dunked with both hands!
Reverse two points! Cole's brows became deeper and deeper, and Anjie's condition was very different from what he imagined!
Klay Thompson made a mid-range jump shot, Anger suddenly came out and tried his best to interfere, and Thompson made a shot.
An Jie turned around and jumped after the low post. Bogut, who did not dare to act rashly, did not react at all. An Jie made a quick hit.
Stephen Curry took action outside the three-point line, but he still made a blacksmith, but he felt bad.
On the fake fax, Anjie played with Bogut and Azeli and continued to score!
......
The game reached the last four minutes of the fourth quarter. Aldridge, who had enough rest, replaced Thomas Robinson and Lillard also returned to the court and replaced Old Miller.
The five Trail Blazers Tigers all returned to their positions, and the Warriors, who were already 6 points behind, seemed to be in a state of storm under such an offensive.
In the last four minutes, Cole's expectation of fatigue still did not come. An Jie, wearing a mask, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and was full of energy on the court, and he was very good at playing.
On the contrary, his own Warriors seemed exhausted under Anjie's offensive.
Cole shook his head helplessly. This time, he could no longer laugh.
With the incomplete lineup and Angel's nose bridge still injured, the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Golden State Warriors at home with a score of 108 to 113 and successfully won the match point.
A few days ago, everyone thought the Warriors would end the Trail Blazers' dream of dynasty.
However, now, Anjie told those daydreaming with practical actions.
Chapter completed!
