The Way of the Center - Chapter 832
“An blocked Durant’s shot, the game is over, the game is over! The Portland Trail Blazers, they continued to win at home, defeated the powerful Golden State Warriors from afar! Ann was great in the last moments. The performance of the Warriors made the Warriors fall into the sand!”
Van Gundy no longer knows how to evaluate Anjie’s incredible passing and timely defense at the last moment. Greatness is the only word that flashes in his mind at the moment.
“Durant definitely can’t believe that he will be defeated by his former teammate himself! One offense, one defense. An Jie’s victory in these two rounds wiped out the Warriors’ 48-minute efforts! , Was born for the critical moment!”
The commentators in the commentary area began to yell excitedly for An Jie, and the fans in the stands of Moda Center were jumping and excited. Outside of the Moda Center, the entire city of Portland has exploded.
Although the victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals was hard-won, it still gave the Trail Blazers a valuable lead.
At the end of the game, the Blazers players were stunned for a second, and then looked up at the big screen.
119 to 121, they really won the game after being suppressed for a whole game!
Everyone gathered around An Jie and embraced the tall leader. Although the person who completed the lore is Paul George, everyone knows that the person who really leads the team to victory is Anjie!
“It’s beautiful, buddy! It’s **** beautiful! You did it, we did it!” George leaned close to An Jie, yelling with excitement in his mouth.
Cooperating with Anjie to complete the final blow and win the key game, this is something that George has imagined countless times. However, at this moment, George and his idol have turned all incredible things into reality!
In the crowded and joyous Moda Center, Durant looked at the Trail Blazers players celebrating the victory and couldn’t help feeling a little frustrated.
With 26 seconds, Anjie can change everything and everything the Warriors have worked so hard to create in just 26 seconds.
Durant now finally understands why Westbrook lost the series by a big margin of 4-1. You can’t blame you for losing, brother…
“Hey, Kevin! Kevin!”
“Kevin, can we talk about your last shot!?”
“Kevin, you must have a lot of ideas when defeated by Anjie!?”
“Hey, Kevin. The Warriors are one game behind now, how will you deal with the next games!?”
Durant was still thinking about it, and reporters who attacked like a wasp immediately surrounded the topical figure 35.
Durant wanted to “escape”, but before he took a step, the “circle of encirclement” had already formed.
Faced with a microphone that was so close to his mouth, Durant only said a word, and pushed away the crowd forcibly.
“The Trail Blazers played great today, but I believe that we will successfully defend the title!”
The reporters continued to chase unwillingly, but Durant didn’t have any intention to stop.
Wait, Ann. When I win, I will announce this news to the world!
Before Durant walked into the player channel, he looked up at An Jie, who was still supported by his teammates. Your kid played well today, I hope you can continue to work hard in the next game!

Catherine looked at the crowded basketball court and her husband surrounded by players, reporters and fans, and couldn’t help but smile happily.
Although Catherine, as a model, once lived this kind of life under the spotlight, she prefers her current life.
“I really want to be like this for the rest of my life, you win on the court, I’ll watch it off the court…” Catherine kissed her son. It’s time to go to the player tunnel and wait for her husband.

Although the first game was lost in a very dramatic way, the two guys Cole and Curry were still very calm.
The reason why Durant was frustrated after all was because he lost to Anjie in the last shot. But for the entire series, he, like Curry and Cole, is full of confidence in everything that follows.
“Last season, we also lost the first game. At that time, you asked me exactly the same questions as now. The result? As a result, we became the NBA championship! I have to admit that Ann was excellent in the last two rounds. Performance saved the team, but don’t forget, we were the one who performed better in the 47 minutes and 34 seconds before that! I admire the boldness of Ricard’s coach and the everlasting Blazers players. The spirit of not giving up, but after that, believe me, we will win it back.” At the press conference after the game, Kerr’s strong speech made all reporters who were preparing to question the Warriors shut their mouths.
Indeed, last season, the Warriors also lost the first game, but after that they completely dominated the entire series. It is difficult to say whether the same situation will happen again this year.
The Trail Blazers did have a temporary lead, but just like this game, the Warriors with a 47-minute lead may not necessarily be the final winner.
Cole knew this, and on the other hand, Ricard knew it too. After a brief celebration on the court, the Blazers players were very calm in the locker room.
“Good performance today, guys. But as you all know, it’s not time to be happy. We can’t let the tragedy of last year happen again. This season, we must beat out the West and win the championship!” Ricard was first of all. Affirmed the performance of the players, but after that, they did not let this group of guys get overwhelmed.
The Warriors are a super team, a super team, and it will never be able to fail because of a loss in a game. The Trail Blazers must persist to the end like today to have the possibility of winning.
After going out from the locker room to the player channel, Anjie immediately saw his wife and son.
He went up and kissed the two people separately, and hugged them. The night was spent peacefully, but Anjie knew that this **** series had just begun…

When Angel defeated Drummond Green with a beautiful hook, the Warriors were already five points behind. But with only 5 seconds left in the game, the Warriors could not tie the score.
There is no doubt that the Warriors are about to lose their second away game in Portland. Curry and Durant scored 54 points in this game, but in front of the outstanding performance of Anjie and the Blazers, it still didn’t help.
“2-0, Steve Kerr must have never imagined that his team would lose in a row! They lost all two away games. Now, the series will be very difficult for them to play.” Jie Van Gundy looked at An Jie’s data, 33 points and 17 rebounds, plus 5 blocks. This guy completely led the rhythm of the entire game, and the Warriors played very frustrated from the first second of the game to the present.
Ricard happily embraced Divac next to him, and even he himself couldn’t believe that the series would be so victorious. The opponent is the Golden State Warriors, the Golden State Warriors who have Durant and Curry at the same time!
It is a miracle to be able to defeat the Warriors in two consecutive games in three days! But starting today, this can only be called a cruel reality.
Cole was helpless, Anjie’s dominance and the inaccuracy of Thompson and Green made the Warriors unexpectedly lose another game. He thought that after losing the game, the Warriors would completely rebound today, but he did not expect that they would fall further into the abyss.
With a score of 2-0 behind, the battlefield will move to Oakland. Everyone feels that the Warriors are over. For a team like the Trail Blazers, it is already very difficult to counterattack when they are 2-0 behind.
But people seem to forget at this moment that the Blazers are a super strong team. Warriors, the same is true!
After the game returned to Oakland, the enthusiasm of the Warriors fans remained unchanged. They turned the entire Oracle Arena into a veritable home of the devil.
When Anjie and his teammates entered the stadium through the player channel, many fans even dared not be punished by throwing water cups at them.
Morris, who was drenched, was furious, which also made him leave the field with seven fouls prematurely in the next game.
After Morris left the field, Drummond Green seemed to be reborn, scoring consecutive points on the benches of Meyers Leonard and Jokic. Although Anjie wanted to defend Green personally, in order to cope with Durant and others’ breakthroughs, he had to guard the basket all the time.
The Warriors, both inside and outside, played very smoothly. At this time, people realized that Morris, who could not score many points in a game, was so important to the team.
Lacking a defensive pillar, the Trail Blazers, which played on the road, finally ushered in their first defeat in the Western Conference Finals.
110 to 120, the Warriors used a ten-point difference, which shockingly defeated the Blazers who had won two consecutive games.
Curry made 6 of 8 three-pointers in the game and scored a game-high 38 points. The outbreak of this guy seems to indicate that the Warriors are about to start a counterattack.
After the game, many people believed that the Warriors were able to win because of Morris’ departure. If Morris is still there, maybe the score has become 3-0.
However, Curry did not allow such remarks to gain a foothold and broke the doubt. A day later, also at Oracle Arena, the Warriors succeeded in making another victory with Morris on the court.
People can’t help but sigh that the Blazers and the Warriors are indeed two super powerful teams. After all, losing two games in a row, whether it is for the Trail Blazers or the Warriors, it is difficult to happen to them~www.mtlnovel.com~ But these two teams, it happened that this happened twice.
The series became more and more interesting. In the subsequent schedule, no matter who it is, no two consecutive home games can be used. There seems to be a lot of possibilities for the situation of the game.
But what is unexpected is that the situation is still developing in the most drastic way. In the next two games, the Trail Blazers and the Warriors each won one game at their home court. The total score of the series has become a 3 to 3 draw, and another fierce tie-break is inevitable!
The wonderful thing about this series is that no one can win away games. The Warriors have to break this spell in the tiebreak if they want to win the series.
For the Trail Blazers, perhaps the most important home defense battle in history is about to begin!
Trailblazers, Warriors, super teams, tiebreakers…These factors make fans want to stop. Regardless of whether Anjie and Durant hope, this series will eventually have to be ended in the cruelest way.
I wonder if Anjie can continue to end everything like the last two rounds of the first game?
