Chapter 166: The Battleship Will Sink (Part 2)
Anxi came to the offensive end, and he found that the Heat had really changed their defenses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
They replaced Courtney Lee and let Courtney Lee defend Anxi full-time, so that they were not afraid of missing Anxi at critical moments.
But what is surprising is that Anxi's ball is very simple, he hibernates in the bottom corner for a while, and then goes straight around, through Asik's cover, and receives the basketball at the top of the arc.
In this position, he hasn't completely shaken off Courtney Lee's defense, but An Xi shot directly!
David Fitzdale's eyes widened: Is this guy throwing a waste?
But in the next second, with a bang, Anxi threw three points against the defense!
The Miami fans in the stadium let out an exclamation, and they were still chanting "defense" and suddenly lost their voices.
"Anxi's fourth three-pointer of the game, after re-playing in the second half, Anxi was in a hot state and scored 7 points in a row!"
"65:72, the difference between the two teams is only 7 points, David Fitzdale can play all the cards, can they still stop the 76ers from narrowing the difference?"
Anxi was strong after returning to the field, and David Fitzdale could only direct his team from the sidelines to do their best to attack in the next round.
The Heat's offense, seeing their lead getting smaller and smaller, becomes very important, and the Heat need to score to keep their lead.
Dwayne Wade held the ball and in the face of Jack Crowder's defense, he chose to break through.
After the breakthrough, Dwayne Wade attracted Anxi's help defense, Wade glanced at the bottom corner with his peripheral vision, and LeBron James was already on a smooth road.
So Wade passed the basketball directly to the bottom corner.
LeBron James didn't choose to shoot, his outside hand was average in this game, so he chose to cut inside, and at this time, Anxi made up for it again, blocking LeBron James's inevitable path to the basket.
However, when LeBron James rushed to the position of a step in front of An Xi, he had already raised his hand to send the basketball towards the basket.
An Xi didn't think about it, and suddenly reached out and patted it.
However, this time Anxi didn't shoot the position, and slapped LeBron James's wrist first, and there was a clear sound.
The referee then blew the whistle and signaled that Anxi had committed a foul.
An Xi shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside.
"An Xi fouled, he went for the block, but he was too ruthless, and he didn't seem to find the right position. Kenny Smith in the commentary table also shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
"This is Anxi's fourth foul in this game, which is not less, and he still needs to pay attention to the number of fouls he has committed. Craig Sager glanced at the technical stats and said.
LeBron James walked to the free throw line, and the corner of the court faintly sounded the shouts of MVP, LeBron James's performance in this game was really good, the third quarter was not over, he had already cut 27 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, the best for the Heat team.
However, Anxi is not bad, although the performance in the first quarter and the middle of the second quarter is not good, but Anxi has scored 29 points, another 3 rebounds and 4 assists through three three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, and the performance so far in the third quarter, and the overall performance is still pressed by LeBron James.
So, now it's the Heat who are leading.
LeBron James stepped onto the free throw line and hit one of two free throws amid a faint MVP shout to extend the margin to eight points.
On the offense of the 76ers, Anxi continued to run without the ball, and after passing Omir Asik's cover in the middle distance, Anxi went around the other sideline and received the basketball.
Courtney Lee's task was to follow Anxi, so he kept following for a moment.
But An Xi, who received the basketball, still shot, jumped one step inside the three-point line and threw the basketball out.
Courtney Lee jumped up as well, and his defense wasn't out of position.
But the ending was still the same, in the disappointed eyes of the Miami fans in the stadium, the basketball once again passed through the net frame and went in again!
This is Anxi's 9th point in the third quarter! It is also his 9th consecutive point, and because of Anxi's ball, the difference has narrowed again, 67:73, only 6 points remaining, and only two three-pointers are needed to tie.
With two minutes left in the third quarter, the 76ers had a chance to erase the deficit before the end of the third quarter.
At this time, Miami fans and commentators who thought the Heat had won could no longer be calm, the 76ers were menacing, and the Heat seemed to have fallen into a slump, and if the Heat did not break out, the 76ers should equalize the score in a wave, and then gradually win.
"Maybe David Fitzdale should consider letting the Big Three come down to rest and rest, the Big Three who played the third quarter are obviously a little exhausted, look at Anxi, take a two-minute break, and score 9 points in a row as soon as he plays, compared with the Heat, the state is completely different. ”
Charles Barkley sincerely put forward his opinion on the commentary seat, David Fitzdale must not be able to hear it, and even if he heard it, David Fitzdale did not dare to let the Big Three rest at this time.
All David Fitzdale could do was call a long timeout and adjust his tactics while resting his main players.
After a pause, David Fitzdale also made a substitution, LeBron James in the Big Three couldn't move, and considering that Janwezz's outside line was a great threat to the 76ers, David Fitzdale thought about it and chose to replace Bosh with Rashad Lewis.
On the one hand, let Bosh go off the court so that he can take over the game in the fourth quarter, and on the other hand, let Lewis come on the floor to provide more consistent three-point firepower.
The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the field.
LeBron James began to control the ball on the offensive end, and after half the court, he did not mean to stop, but directly controlled the ball and accelerated towards Anxi, and then ran all the way into the penalty area.
In the restricted area, LeBron James's layup was still very careful, in order not to be covered by Anxi, he first made a feint to deceive Anxi's defensive center of gravity, and then slowly put the basketball into the basket.
LeBron James burst into the restricted area and scored 2 points, which finally stopped the bleeding for the Heat, and the difference returned to 8 points.
The American Airlines arena was once again lively, cheering one after another.
And when the 76ers made a mistake on the offensive end, McCarvey's pass to Anxi was almost broken, although Anxi rebounded, but in a hurry to face LeBron James's defensive shot, the American Airlines Arena erupted into huge cheers as if it had won the game, which was even mixed with some cursing.
"Yankee, you're a piece of waste in front of LBJ!"
"LBJ, him *** we need to win!"
……
An Xi had a cold face and didn't seem to react.
As for the Heat's offense, they were still the same as in the previous round, with LeBron James holding the ball and moving towards the halfcourt.
Listening to the cursing buzzing in his ears, An Xi suddenly started from the frontcourt, crossed the midfield, and pressed towards LeBron James, who was in possession of the ball.
"Is Anxi crazy?Isn't he afraid of losing his position?"
And when Anxi crossed the half, the Miami fans on the sidelines were even more excited.
"The Chinese guy who is not self-sufficient, you dare to press LeBron all over the court, you will pay for it!"
……
An Xi didn't seem to hear the ridicule in his ears, and he on the court suddenly rushed to LeBron James's side with an arrow, and then stretched out his long arms and wrapped around LeBron James.
Kenny Smith exclaimed: "Death entanglement, Anxi's idea is too bold, he wants to steal the basketball in LeBron James's hands from the backcourt, but it's too difficult!"
LeBron James was entangled in Anxi, and he came with a small change of direction and dodged some space.
But Anxi also made a lateral move in time, blocking in front of LeBron James, and then used his long arm to aggressively pick up the basketball in LeBron James's hand.
LeBron James dodged, followed by a big change of direction, time was running out, and LeBron James knew that he couldn't entangle with Anxi in the backcourt anymore.
But An Xi's judgment was already accurate, and a sideways move in the same time continued to block LeBron James.
LeBron James was suddenly cornered, and he had nothing to do but turn around and want to get past Anxi.
At this time, Anxi's right arm, which had been trying to break the ball, made progress at this critical moment.
The moment LeBron James turned around, An Xi's right hand touched the basketball!
An Xi jumped forward, and countless fans on the sidelines showed frightened looks, unable to make a sound in their mouths, but looking at the shape of their mouths, they seemed to be shouting: "No!"
When the fans on the scene shouted, it was too late!
An Xi had already taken an arrow step, took the basketball in his hand, and then rushed out two steps and jumped directly outside the three-point line!
"Steal! Anxi actually steals LeBron James!"
"Crushing defense! LeBron James is deflated!"
And just when countless commentators exclaimed, An Xi's next action surprised them again.
"Straight three-point shot? Oh no! It's crazy!"
A sudden three-pointer!
The basketball crossed a deadly arc in the air, like a precision-guided missile, and slashed into the basket with unmistakable accuracy!
And LeBron James, who staggered in the half court because he was in a hurry to retreat, hugged his head the moment the basketball entered the frame.
"The key three-point! went in, and it was still Anxi! He used a magical pressing defense! and a magical three-pointer, one-on-one to defeat LeBron James!"
"This galaxy battleship of the Heat Triumvirate is about to sink!"
When the 76ers were still trailing by 5 points, Kenny Smith directly asserted that the Heat would lose this game, and Craig Sager looked at Kenny Smith in surprise.
But the final result did not surprise Kenny Smith, and the 76ers fought back in the third quarter to overtake the score.
In the final battle, Anxi completely dominated the game.
In the last 18 seconds of the game, Anxi used a murderous step-back jumper to change the score to 103:98, and the 76ers led by 5 points in 18 seconds, and the Heat could only play a wave of fast offense.
But their quick shot missed, and the rebound was snatched by Gasol.
In the final stage of the game, it became a foul phase between the two teams, and the 76ers kept going to the free throw line, but the game had lost its suspense.
In the end, the 76ers defeated the Heat by 105:98, a difference of 7 points.
By this time, it wasn't just Kenny Smith shouting, but countless commentators chanting, "3:1, 76ers get match point! )
