Chapter eight hundred and forty eight: the catharsis of men
Although 29 years old is still at a very young stage for a person's life, for professional athletes, 29 years old is already a relatively old age.
This is almost the end of Anjie's peak physical function. Once he reaches the age of 30, the health of professional athletes will be deteriorating year by year.
As an Asian, she had suffered serious injuries to both knees. This year, An Jie could clearly feel that his physical fitness was much more tense than before.
In the past finals, An Jie still remained energetic even after seven games. But now, An Jie's body can only be described as overwhelmed.
You know, Yao Ming, the last big Chinese man who made a name for himself in the nBa league, retired early at the age of 31. Moreover, when Yao Ming was 29, he was basically overwhelmed and could not score any balls.
Moreover, in the finals of this season, Anjie has very limited support. In the first three consecutive championships, Anjie has Lillard, Aldridge and Iguodala and other helpers. Now, Anjie is indeed lacking stars around him. In this case, Anjie needs to take on more responsibilities, so the physical strength he needs to put in must be double.
The total score of the finals has become 3-2, and the Trail Blazers have already won the match point. But from the outside world, it is difficult for Anjie, who is exhausted, to lead the team to win two consecutive victories in a row. What's more, this sixth game is still held in the Loan Center Arena. Even if the Trail Blazers want to create miracles to win the championship, they have to wait until the game returns to Moda Center.
So, although the Trail Blazers got the match point, when Angel and the others flew to Cleveland again on a plane, no one except the local Portland fans and some Chinese fans thought they could return in triumph.
Countless fans began to search online for tickets for the Moda Center tiebreak battle. There is no doubt that the tickets for this game will definitely be sold out early, and fans hope to pre-order in advance now.
However, what shocked everyone was that the Trail Blazers official did not intend to sell tickets for the tiebreak battle. Nell Orsey wanted to express it very clearly. His team would definitely be able to resolve the battle in Cleveland! The tiebreak battle would not exist at all!
Such a situation is very rare in the league. Some people say that Orsey is the most determined general manager, while others say that he is a fool who cannot accept reality.
But there is no doubt that as the general manager, Orsey's approach must have greatly boosted the morale of the team.
Anjie is very grateful to the fans, Orsey and others for their support for him and his teammates, but he knows that it is himself who really decides the outcome of the game, and everyone sitting around him at the moment.
In the last round of the series, facing the powerful Warriors, Anjie played until the tiebreak and then passed the game with a final victory. Facing the O'Brien Cup, Anjie must not let such dangerous situations resurrect.
They have already fought to the last moment. If they lose the O'Brien Cup, it would be a big blow. In any case, Anjie will keep his record of unbeaten in the finals.
Everyone is not optimistic that the Trail Blazers who have already won the match point can win the championship in the Loan Center Stadium? It doesn’t matter. Whether I can win the championship has nothing to do with whether you think well!

Anjie walked in the player passage in the Loan Center Arena. At this time in previous years, the player passage must have been very busy. The staff who carried the O'Brien Cup, the workers who carried the champagne, and the volunteers who prepared the championship T-Shi... The appearance of these people often means that Anjie is infinitely close to the O'Brien Cup.
But this year, the players' passage was empty. Ricard said that the O'Brien Cup did come, but only a fake came. The real one had been shipped to Moda Center to prepare for the tiebreak battle. The official was afraid that the real trophy would be damaged, so he took a fake to Cleveland. To put it bluntly, even the nBa official didn't think that today's game could determine the championship.
As for Champagne, under the current situation, if Champagne is prepared in advance and the team loses, the blow to the players will be even greater. Therefore, Paul Allen, the boss who is willing to spend money on the winner, has not prepared in advance this year.
It seems that today is an ordinary game without a championship atmosphere. But these things not only did not make An Jie feel discouraged, but instead made the tall guy clench his fists involuntarily.
Since the official has shipped the O'Brien Cup to Portland, there is no need to bother James to take it! O'Brien Cup, just stay there. Today's victory of the game, Anger must take it away!
On the other hand, in the Cavaliers' locker room, Tyron Lu is busy making final arrangements for the players. Although the outside world believes that the Cavaliers' home court will not fall, Tyron Lu cannot relax like the reporters.
In any case, the Cavaliers must win this game. Otherwise, they would have no next game to play.
LeBron James sat in front of his cabinet and listened carefully to the arrangements made by Tyron Lu. After he came on stage later, James would definitely fight without any effort. 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 defeated the Warriors of the same team. This year, let the Trail Blazers become the second defeated player!
When Angel and James both led the team out of the player's channel, a shocking shout immediately burst into the Loan Center Arena.
Two great stars, two great teams. They are about to start a battle of life and death here.
The fans of the Cavaliers were very enthusiastic. When the players were still warming up, they had already waved the signs in their hands and shouted slogans.
The sounds of "Defeat the City of Tear" are rising and falling, making Ricard even yell at the same time communicate with Divac right beside him.
After shooting a few baskets, Anjie closed his eyes and put his hands on his hips. He was experiencing the smell of war and enjoying the shouts of fans. Nothing is without a championship or champagne. As long as he has these, he will have the atmosphere of a championship!
An Jie suddenly opened his eyes, picked up a basketball on the ground, and rushed straight to the basket. His legs suddenly exerted force and jumped high. When An Jie reached the highest point, his strong arms suddenly pushed the entire basketball into the frame!
"Bang!" The loud noise from the basket made James, who was shooting outside the three-point line, look back.
An Jie grabbed the basket tightly and made a pull-up on it before he was willing to let go and land.
"Ah!" An Jie yelled after landing and hammered his chest. At this moment, I wonder how many Trail Blazers fans in front of the TV were yelling with him.
"Come on, come back with the championship!" Catherine folded her hands together and prayed to heaven. No matter how the outside world commented, Anjie will always be Catherine, Portland, and China's heroes!
"This kid is very excited today!" After seeing Angel's venting his emotions, James couldn't help but curl up his lips. It seems that today's battle will not disappoint James.
In the fourth championship, Anjie has reached the last step. Resolving the battle in Cleveland is Anjie's only goal at this moment!
