The Way of the Center - Chapter 826

In the dark room, all the players and coaching staff of the Trail Blazers sat together.

Except for the picture projected by the projector on the screen, there is no light in the whole room. Darkness can always make people concentrate. No, for everyone here, no one’s eyes fall outside the big screen.

An Jie clenched his fists, as if he was on the scene. Of course, this is not the Trailblazers team going out to watch a movie. They are now watching the live broadcast of Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and Spurs in the tactical conference room of the Moda Center. On the big screen of the projector, Stephen Curry is demanding opportunities outside.

Everyone, including An Jie, became nervous, and the Warriors’ key offense is likely to directly determine the outcome.

Under Tony Parker’s defense, Curry didn’t seem to have any chance at all. However, a pick-and-roll cooperation between Durant and Curry completely changed the whole situation.

Durant used a high-quality pick-and-roll to make Tony Parker lose his position, and Leonard, who defended Durant, had to make up to the library.

Curry took a few steps forward after borrowing the pick and roll, but his purpose was not to attack himself, but to help Durant take the defense away!

Seeing the time was right, Curry suddenly made a back pass and delivered the ball to Durant, who did the pick-and-roll for himself. At this time, in front of Durant, who was tall and arm long, there was only one elderly Parker defending!

Durant didn’t hesitate after receiving the ball and shot directly from the three-point line. Although Tony Parker worked very hard, the huge height gap between him and Durant made it impossible for him to cause any substantial interference to Durant.

A very clever but simple cooperation between Curry and Durant allowed the Warriors to hit a key three-pointer in the last 40 seconds of the game.

**Vicci hurriedly called a timeout and kept shaking his head. This time defending, Vicki couldn’t blame anyone. It can only be said that the Warriors’ offensive firepower is indeed too strong.

When a team with two mvp-level guys exist at the same time, the team is destined to be very scary. What’s more, the Warriors have more than that.

Last summer, when all teams in the Western Conference were making great efforts to reinforce them, the Warriors did not participate in any explosive operations.

The signing of Lakers old player Nick Young and “Israel Jordan” Omi Cassibi are the two most “big-name” signings for the Warriors this summer.

However, the reason the Warriors did not have a big operation is not because this team is not attractive, but because they are already strong enough!

The other teams have undergone earth-shaking changes only because they want to match the Warriors!

After the upgrade of the lineup, the San Antonio Spurs were able to fight the Warriors to the tiebreaker this year, but now, the balance of victory has undoubtedly begun to lean toward the Warriors.

On the screen, **Vicci was nervously laying out tactics. Aldridge and Leonard looked firm, neither of them wanted to be defeated by the Golden State Warriors again.

Especially Aldridge, since leaving Anjie to join the Spurs, Aldridge, let alone winning the championship, he has not even played in the finals. What Aldridge desires most now is to reunite with Anjie in the Western Conference Finals. To achieve this goal, he must survive the last 40 seconds.

Aldridge’s performance this year is a big improvement compared to last year. People are even discussing that this guy has carried the banner on Duncan’s shoulders. If it weren’t for Aldridge, the Spurs would not be able to reach the tiebreaker with the mighty Warriors. But in the last 40 seconds, no one wants their efforts to be wasted.

“You said, what kind of tactics will the Spurs use?” Just as everyone was staring at the screen intently, Ricard’s voice broke the silence in the room.

“Stable two points, then consolidate defense!” An Jie said his thoughts without hesitation. With his understanding of the club and the Spurs, they will not make gamble-like plans.

The timeout ended soon, and Anjie finally experienced how the fans felt when they had a “long” timeout.

Sure enough, this offense, the Spurs finally hit the ball into Aldridge’s hands. In the face of Drummond Green’s impure defense, Aldridge made a two-step push forward and suddenly turned over to shoot a jumper.

An Jie’s heart raised his throat, and the basketball shot by Aldridge crossed a beautiful arc, hollowing into the net!

“Pretty!” An Jie couldn’t help shouting, and waved his fist vigorously. The Spurs’ thinking is exactly the same as their own, and then it depends on their defense.

But before the Spurs fans were happy for long, Curry used an unreasonable long-range three-pointer to hit the heart of Vicki again.

An Jie didn’t show much surprise. A “throw” goal two steps away from the three-point line was simply commonplace on Curry.

Once again, the close-up shots were given to **Vicci, Leonard and Aldridge. An Jie didn’t know what the first two people thought about, but An Jie could see that Aldridge was a little nervous.

In the end, Aldridge failed to grasp the Spurs’ second offensive opportunity. Although Leonard grabbed offensive rebounds, his shots from beyond the three-point line made the Spurs lose the chance of a comeback forever.

The red light on the backboard came on and Aldridge hugged his head in pain. Curry, Durant and others just clapped their hands gently. For them, the championship is the goal. Advance to the Western Conference Finals? This seems to be inevitable.

“Oh, LaMarcus of LaMarcus.” Iguodala felt uncomfortable. After all, he had been with the Trail Blazers for so many years and got along well with Aldridge. Watching a good friend who has created the myth of three consecutive championships with himself suffers a blow, who is comfortable?

“You have seen it, guys. The opponent we are about to face is very terrifying. I hope you are prepared, otherwise, we will most likely become the next good LaMarcus.” Ricard looked at Aldridge’s heartbroken expression, with mixed feelings in his heart. He doesn’t want the same nightmare to happen to his current players.

Anjie took out his cell phone and sent a comforting text message to Aldridge~www.mtlnovel.com~ He knew that it would take some time for his good brother to digest these pains.

At the same time, Anjie also sent a text message to Durant. “This is the end of your footsteps, buddy!”

After continuing with the Trail Blazers, the Golden State Warriors, which swept the entire league, will meet Anjie again. This heavyweight Western War has been inevitable.

The lights in the tactical conference room came on, and the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers faced each other in order. They know that everyone present must be fully prepared for the next fierce battle.

An Jie was the first to stand up, and he immediately became the focus of the room, even in the NBA, who was outstandingly tall.

“Our goal is the championship, guys! Even if we face the Warriors, we must win!” Anjie turned and yelled at everyone.

“Championship!” Everyone responded with a strong smile, and An Jie smiled with satisfaction.

One of the most powerful opponents has appeared in front of Anjie, and the test of the Blazers has officially begun…
