Chapter 366, Finals (4)

Nowitzki hit the winning 21-point game with illness, and the Mavericks took the big score to 2-2, which shocked fans who thought the Heat could win Game 4 in one go, they didn't expect the Mavericks to be so tenacious, and few people began to be shocked by James' sluggish performance throughout the game! James' form doesn't look great in this series!

Stevenson scolded his mother there after reading the report, Nima didn't mention him at all, and even the local newspaper in Dallas only said that James was in a slump, not Stevenson's excellent defense, which made James sleepwalk all over the court!

Stevenson, who is the league's number one James Black, couldn't bear it, and was interviewed before training the next afternoon, generating a nightmare that he would become James in the Finals! He'll be watching the Heat lose the game, and the Mavericks will be the biggest winners this season.

Soon his interview was on the sports headlines of local Dallas newspapers, and even on the Internet.

James was looking at the sky on the bed in the hotel, he didn't listen carefully to what was said on the TV, although the Heat had the upper hand in these games, but his poor performance has caused many fans to question, they think that they will be strained at the critical moment, if it weren't for Bosh and Wade supporting the Heat, maybe they would have gone home 4-0 now, and they don't want to think about it, if there is no one in the first few rounds of the series, it is not certain that the Heat can enter the Finals.

And the Cavaliers fans are also gloating and mocking James, so that you can't beat the Mavericks in a group, thank you for leaving Cleveland.

But James couldn't say this at all, and he was so uncomfortable that he even had egg pain! His eyes undoubtedly swept to the television, where Stevenson, who was being interviewed, caught James' attention.

"I'm going to be a nightmare and make James even more sad for the rest of the game, maybe not in Dallas, but it's the same in Miami."

Looking at the triumphant Stevenson on TV, James made a phone call to his team and logged into his Twitter on his computer.

"Now or never." It means that if you want to win the championship, you should take advantage of the present, and it is better not to have it in the future.

----------

The home format of the Finals before 2013 was 2-3-2, so the fifth battle of Tianwangshan was still in Dallas.

At the beginning of this game, although James wanted to do something practical to match the slogan he shouted yesterday, it was still difficult for James to score under strict defense today, although the Heat did not lack people who could score, but the Mavericks did not give up an inch of land at home.

James was heavily defended, so Wade and Bosh had to work harder, and Bosh was not having a good time under the care of Nowitzki on the inside, so the burden of offense was on Wade's shoulders, but Wade cut part of the meniscus in his left knee when he was in college, although it was not obvious when he first entered the league, but as time went on, Wade, who was getting older, felt that his left knee had gradually warned himself, but Wade, who fought every game, was not affected by injury.

And now there was a time when you were only one step away from the championship, so don't you try to make sense! Wade carried the pressure and kept breaking through the defense that tore the Mavericks, but in the second half of the first quarter, Wade bumped into Cardinal when he broke through, and sprained his left hip when he fell (don't laugh, there is such an injury), so he could only go off the court and go back to the locker room for inspection, which made many Heat fans very worried, after all, when James was strictly guarded, the Heat still relied on Wade a lot.

Chalmers, who simply replaced Wade on the court, performed well, and he hit a three-point shot not long after playing, and the Heat chased the score to 24-27. Before the end of the quarter, Chalmers also hit a long-range buzzer-beating three-pointer, and just after halfway through the court, he made a hasty shot and hit it, and the Heat led 31-30 in the first quarter. In the final two minutes of the quarter, the Heat recovered a six-point deficit.

Although Carlisle knew that Stevenson was bragging about 13 when he was interviewed, limiting James was what the Mavericks had to do, so the starting point guard in the first quarter was Barria to help Steven wrap James, and Huang Yu also had to cooperate with occasional shots, so Huang Yu didn't shoot much in the first quarter, 3 of 5, and 2 of 2 three-pointers! 8 points and 3 rebounds!

------------

Without Wade, James will have to shoulder the offensive burden of the Heat and lead the team to compete with the Mavericks. But unlike the Heat, who entered the rotation early at the beginning of the second quarter, Terry brought the bench and the James-led bench for the Heat.

Although the Mavericks' bench attack power is not as good as the Heat bench led by James, it will not be widened while consuming James' physical strength, which is actually very cost-effective.

However, Wade returned to the bench after a second-quarter hiatus, and his return gave the Heat a burst of spirits, first Bosh grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a rebound to give the Heat a 40-38 lead, and then James received a steal pass from Chalmers and hit the mid-range.

The Heat's continuous play made Carlisle have to replace Nowitzki and Huang Yu a little earlier, and the Heat also replaced Wade, it seems that the injury is not very serious, but Wade did not do much after playing, and his movements were slightly unnatural, so it was silent a little, the Mavericks began to chase points, and the responsibility of defending James was handed over to Stevenson himself.

However, after a short period of discomfort, Wade's movements were a lot smoother, he assisted James to catch a dunk in the air, and the Heat led by 6 points at 52-46, but then Huang Yu and Nowitzki hit consecutive shots after that, and after James went off the court, Stevenson followed the break, Carlisle replaced Fragrant Brown, and pushed Huang Yu to the small forward position, and with 29.5 seconds left in the second quarter, Nowitzki made a mid-range shot, and the Mavericks trailed by one point at 56-57.

The Heat offense Chalmers was closely watched by Ballia and finally hoisted the ball to Haslem, but his offensive ability with the ball was not good, so he passed the ball out again, and there were only 6 seconds left in the offensive time, Chalmers could not directly force through Balria, trying to attract Huang Yu's attention and distribute the ball to Mike Miller on the outside.

But Huang Yu didn't even close the door to clip Chalmers, if it was James Huang Yu might have gone up, but Chalmers! Hehe!

The strong burst was stuck in the offensive line, and was suppressed to the bottom corner, but Chalmers, who had no passing target, could only force a shot, smashed on the edge of the basket and popped up, Huang Yu saw the rebound and directly accelerated to throw off McMiller next to him, directly accelerated across the halfcourt, and jumped out of the three-point line with 1.6 seconds left.

The red light came on, and the ball was still in mid-air.

"Bang! Swish! ”

In the first half, Huang Yu scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, Nowitzki had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Kidd scored 3 points and 4 assists, and Chandler scored 11 points and 3 rebounds.

For the Heat, Wade had 11 points and 3 assists, Bosh had 13 points and 5 rebounds, and James averaged 9 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds! During Wade's absence, James took on more defense and passing. Chalmers, who came off the bench with Wade, scored 13 points and 2 assists, and performed excellently!

-----------

After a few words with Abby, Huang Yu returned to the locker room, looking at the Mavericks' players' expressions were more relaxed, except for a certain man who was a little soft, Stevenson said that the real single defense James was still poor, and the physical difference between him and James was not half a star.

If James fights hard with Stevenson, this thing is estimated to not last 5 minutes, but James can't finish this game and stop playing! Excessive physical consumption and sluggish state will make James a backstabber, so Stevenson can still survive when James is not using all his strength.

After a short halftime break, Wade did not appear on the court after the start of the third quarter, and the hip injury may not be serious, but it still has an impact.

But the finals and it is the last home of the Mavericks, so it is inevitable that the bayonet will see red, and the Mavericks cannot delay their offensive because of Wade's injury, the Mavericks' attack is very fierce, Huang Yu took the lead in shooting, and in the first half of the third quarter, he hit all the shots, including 2 3-pointers! Nowitzki and Barria hit back-to-back three-pointers to extend their advantage at 76-67.

It wasn't until there were 4 minutes left in the third quarter that Wade was substituted, but he couldn't stop the Mavericks' offensive, and in the face of Wade, who was injured, even Kidd, who had never advocated offense, hit a three-point shot, and then broke through the wonderful pass, Chandler dunked violently, and the Mavericks led 82-71, forcing the Heat to call a timeout again.

While there was some improvement, the Heat closed the gap to single digits after James and Juwan Howard each hit a shot from the timeout, but after three quarters, the Heat trailed 79-87.

----------

The Mavericks extended their advantage to 13 points in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, but the Heat's counterattack was very fast, and halfway through the quarter, Wade, who was in a better state, launched a fast break after a steal, and easily made a layup after receiving a pass from James in the front court, and then the Heat played a wave of 8-0, and the Heat only trailed by 3 points.

Wade then assisted Haslem, who scored on a dunk, and it didn't take long for Wade to hit a three-pointer to give the Heat nine straight points in less than two minutes to take a 99-95 lead.

The Mavericks failed to shoot in the past 3 minutes and lost the lead, Carlisle made direct substitutions, replacing Marion and Huang Yu, and the Mavericks were not afraid of adversity at all, and the most important thing the Mavericks lacked this season was the predicament, and it was basically self-inflicted.

Let's take this game as an example, the original lead reached 13 points, if Carlisle replaced Huang Yu and other scoring players at this time, then the Mavericks are likely to take the Heat away in one wave, but Carlisle still began to put substitutes in the fourth quarter in order to seek stability, although his choice is no problem, after all, playing the third quarter, Huang Yu's physical strength is somewhat consumed, and his girlfriend seems to be in Dallas, this young man........ Well, Carlisle digresses! There is no way to make Huang Yu a problem young man, and it is very possible that he does not know how to end.

Huang Yu: I have a sentence about MMP, I don't know if to talk about it or not!

After replacing Huang Yu, the Mavericks immediately reduced the pressure, and Huang Yu hit a three-point shot after receiving the ball, James wanted to make a three-pointer, but failed to hit, Nowitzki caught the ball under the basket and dunked, and the Mavericks overtook 102-100.

After James missed another three-point shot, Huang Yu received a wonderful pass from Kidd and hit a three-point shot with 1:26 left in the game, and the Mavericks continued to lead 105-100.

The Heat panicked a bit at the crucial moment, Wade was stealed by Marion, and then blocked by Chandler. The Heat finally closed the gap to four points with free throws, but Terry hit another three-pointer with 33.8 seconds left in the game, giving the Heat a fatal blow.

James broke through to close the gap to 5 points, but it was too late and the Heat fouled! Kidd and Huang Yu both made two free throws steadily, and the Mavericks locked up the victory and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, with a total score of 3-2.

Wade was injured in the first quarter, but insisted on fighting, scoring 23 points and 8 assists, Bosh quietly scored 19 points and 10 rebounds, James played a triple-double, contributed 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Chalmers, who performed well in the first half, was invisible in the second half, and he got 13 points and 2 assists in the first half, and only got 15 points, 2 assists and 4 rebounds in the whole game, and the performance in the first half and the second half was like two. Haslem had 10 points and 5 rebounds, and Mike Bibby and Joe Anthony, who started the game, did not perform well, scoring only 2 points each!

Nowitzki scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Huang Yu scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Barria scored 17 points and 5 assists, Kidd had 13 points and 6 assists, and Terry had 21 points and 6 assists.

In this series, the Mavericks fell behind twice, but tied twice, and finally took a big lead for the first time after passing today. The remaining two games are played on the Heat's home court, on the 13th and 15th, and the Mavericks only need one more win to win the championship for the first time in history.

Although the Heat has not lost now, and there is still a chance to drag the game into a tie-break or reverse to win the championship, but in the report the next day, there are already rumors that the Heat will introduce a strong center to make up for the shortcomings of the Big Three! And what he said was clear-sighted, and the introduction was a giant who was recuperating from his injuries.

But to be honest, although the Heat is very short of people in the center position, Big Z and Dampier are both in a state of injury, you are introducing the Giants, and the luxury tax will make the Heat drink a pot, although the Giants can accept low salaries, but it is absolutely impossible to take the basic salary of veterans, and Huang Yu clearly knows that the Giants cannot meet the requirements of the Heat team at all, they would rather bring in a healthy low-energy center, as long as they can protect the rebounds, and will not introduce a star who is recovering from injury, even if he recovers well.

The Heat can't afford the sequelae of the center's recuperation, and every extra point of the Heat's luxury tax is a pressure on that magic stick, unless it can guarantee the championship, otherwise that magic stick is estimated to only wait for the expiration of the contracts of those veterans, and in the introduction of some players, the contract will be at most to the middle class!

There are a lot of rumors, even the Mavericks, but the Heat focus on reinforcement, and the Mavericks are off-the-counter news, according to insiders, the Mavericks' boss Cuban has been urging craftsmen to make the Mavericks' championship ring, and has already gotten a sample belt to show off on his hand, and it is a picture and the truth.

Although others don't know, Huang Yu knows that this news should be true, the championship ring in the photo is almost exactly the same as the championship ring after the Mavericks won the championship this season, the only area is that it has not been colored, and it is not very clear.

However, soon the Dallas partner media interviewed Cuban, and Cuban also generously showed the ring, and said that the ring was just made by himself to play, and then took the ring down, except for the sign of the Maverick on the surface, there is no NBA-related logo anywhere around!

So the NBA league can't control him, and it's not allowed to make a ring for yourself! Isn't the owner of the calf allowed to wear a ring with the calf logo?
