In the era when Anjie just entered the league, if any team had a small lineup on the court, fans would definitely think that this team was crazy!

Looking at the decades of NBA history, there has never been a lack of athletic talented madmen, and old Nelson has long tried the running and playing style of small lineups. However, before the Warriors appeared, no team could succeed with small lineups.

Time goes back to 2oo8 years. If a team had a small lineup at that time, what would have happened?

The opponent's inside will hit the back until you make adjustments. The star will rush in as soon as he gets the ball from the outside. Even if he doesn't make it, there are big men fighting for the frontcourt rebounds.

In that era, the attack that had to defend a small lineup was generally to defend against the restricted area and prevent breakthroughs. Shooting? Just shoot from the outside, because in that era, you could not win by just shooting.

However, thanks to the deterioration of the inside players in recent years. Now even if a team has a small lineup, big players cannot beat the opponent's inside. If you play with the backrest alone, a small lineup will basically make a mistake.

On the defensive end, you basically have to chase others to defend against a team with a small lineup, and you don’t dare to let go. If you let him shoot, he can really throw you to death. Especially for a player like Curry, if you don’t let him shoot, he can throw you to death.

Big players cannot protect the frame in time. In addition to shooting, small lineups can also use sharper breakthroughs to cause damage. In this era, three-point offense is the same as the inside offense in the past, and is a conventional offensive method. The soaring three-point shooting percentage of each team is also one of the main reasons why small lineups can now be popular in the world.

The Cavaliers stole a victory in Moda Center with their extremely high three-point shooting percentage. As for the defensive end, since the Trail Blazers do not have a strong outside offensive point, relying solely on Anjie to attack the inside alone will not solve the problem of the entire team's offense.

After all, no matter how great a player is, basketball is always a sport completed by five people.

After this game, fans were not only discussing the victory or defeat, but also discussing the trajectory of the sport of basketball.

Nowadays, the Trail Blazers are the only team that creates a dynasty through traditional play. But this year, the Cavaliers' star-studded small lineup seems to make the Trail Blazers' last hope for the old-fashioned style of play, in danger.

This final has pushed the sport of basketball to a historical stage of change. Whether traditional teams with grade inside can defeat small teams with grade outside teams has become the reason why many fans continue to pay attention to the finals.

The day after the game, An Jie slept until eleven o'clock before waking up. The continuous high-intensity combat and the hard closed training before the finals made An Jie's body exhausted.

An Jie looked at the time. Although he had no match to play in the next three days, now he had only a few hours of time with his family.

In the afternoon, Anjie will take a plane to Cleveland with the team. This away trip has been around for nearly a week. No one wants to separate from his family, especially now that Anjie and Catherine have only been married for a few years, and Anxiang is still young.

An Jie quickly got up and seized every minute and second he had been with his family.

"Baby!" Anjie walked out of the room and shouted loudly.

"Dad is finally awake!" An Xiang ran to An Jie excitedly, holding a small basketball for children in his hand.

"What's wrong? Can't wait to start today's special training??" An Jie squatted down and touched his son's head.

"He's been yelling all morning, I'll tell him not to disturb you to rest." Catherine walked over with a smile, looking at the father and son who were extremely obsessed with basketball.

"Hehe, I'll have to work hard for you during this period of time." Anjie said, hugging Catherine tightly.

"I really can't bear to leave you. Once you go, it's been several days. And... and I always worry that you will be injured if you continue to play high-intensity competitions." Catherine also hugged Angel tightly. People say that marriage is the grave of love, but Angel and Catherine don't feel tired of each other at all. These two people still snuggled up to each other like they were in college, and were reluctant to part with them.

"This season is about to end, baby. I won't go anywhere this offseason. I'll just accompany you and your son, okay?" Anjie whispered in Catherine's ear.

"Hehe, let's go, play basketball with Xiao Ke for a while." Catherine smiled and changed into her son's jersey.

The sun is soft at noon, and the temperature is suitable. The sun in early June is not quite pissy. Such temperatures and weather can always make people feel very comfortable.

In the yard of a mansion, Anger, the greatest player in Portland, is sweating on the basketball court in the courtyard. His opponent is not LeBron James, not Stephen Curry, but an Asian boy who is only three years old.

Katherine leaned against the door and looked at the two men fighting bulls on the basketball court with happy smiles on her face. Watching these two boys play basketball, perhaps one of Katherine's favorite things now.

A few years ago, Anjie's small villa was very deserted. Most of the time, Anjie lived here alone. Moreover, Anjie, who needs to go out to play away games often, is still at home every day.

But now, this villa is full of vitality. The empty living room is filled with various furniture, and the idle rooms are arranged into a peaceful and warm little world. Catherine, the virtuous wife, has kept the whole house clean.

The golden girl couldn't help but touch the engagement ring on her hand. Marrying this man might be the most correct decision she had ever made in her life. Even though Catherine gave up her career as a model in the rising period, she had no regrets at all.

A happy home is more important than anything else.

In the yard, An Xiang controls basketball in a good manner. I have to admit that this guy's talent in playing basketball is really amazing. Many moves, An Jie only teaches him once or twice, and he can quickly learn it.

This scene reminded An Jie of his own father. Although his father failed to realize his dream of becoming a professional player due to injury problems, he was undoubtedly the pioneer in his basketball career. The solid basic skills that An Jie had before joining NCAA were given by his father.

Back then, An Shiran, who had been traveling back and forth with his son on the stadium since he was a child, might never have dreamed that his son would become one of the greatest stars in the world.

Now, An Jie looked at his son, who knew what this kid would become in the future?

For professional players, this warm family time is always short. The ringtone of Anjie's mobile phone brings the warm atmosphere to an abrupt end.

The smile on Anjie's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Catherine, who just nodded at him.

"Hey? Boss? Well, I'll go out to the airport now." Without asking, it was the Trail Blazers ready to go.

The others gathered with the team and rushed to the airport. It was already a great privilege for Anjie to travel freely.

"Dad, are you going to the Cavaliers' home?" An Xiang put down the basketball and ran to his father.

"That's called home court, son. You can practice what I just taught you at home. When you come back next time, you have to defeat me."

"Well! Dad will defeat the Knights, and then I will defeat Dad!" An Xiang nodded vigorously. He knew that his dad was the best. So, he had to become more powerful than Dad!

"I'm leaving, baby. Don't worry, I won't hurt myself." After that, Anjie turned around and walked towards Catherine. Over the years, every separation made Anjie full of reluctance.

"Go, my hero. Take all the games, and then come back and pick up the O'Brien Cup!" After Katherine said that, she kissed An Jie. An Xiang stuck out her tongue and covered her eyes with her two little hands.

An Jie knew that when he walked out of the house, what he was about to face was the cruel war.

But before the battle begins, let An Jie taste this leisure afternoon. Even heroes need to relax, right?
