What is it like to not be able to win a game even if you have the bias of the referee? Now, there must be countless journalists who want to throw this question at Spoelstra. Because when the Pacers are once again unfairly judged on the penalty scale, but still hold a five-point lead in the final minute, everyone must face up to one thing: the Pacers are likely to reach the Finals!

"Don't foul, don't foul!" Henson shouted anxiously from the sidelines, perhaps the most emotional part of his game.

Even in the face of the referee's unfair decision, Henson maintained a calm state. But now, with just one minute to go until the Finals, Henson finds himself unable to composure.

His roar hit the ears of every Pacers player, and in just a few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Pacers had been whistled for six defensive fouls and two offensive fouls. If it weren't for the referee's blowing, the Heat would not have been able to close the gap now. So now, walkers must be mindful of the scale of physical contact.

James was still closely guarded by Leonard, but instead of dodging, he took the initiative to find a physical confrontation! James knows how to use the rules, and if you move too much, the referee will blow the whistle nine times out of ten!

However, Leonard is smart. He didn't touch James's body at all, but just pressed his chest against the Heat No. 6 to put pressure on him. The referee watched the confrontation between the two sides, but there was no way to blow the whistle

"Damn!" James made a stealthy push, shook off Leonard, and pocketed the ball to the right horn.

After receiving Wade's pass, James went straight to Riza, and then threw the ball into the air in the confrontation!

"Toot toot! Defensive fouls! ”

Henson's mouth opened wide, then he took a deep breath, and finally failed to curse anything. It's not that Henson is afraid of the referee, it's that he's tired.

In the fourth quarter of the game, except for the time when the two sides looked for each other's whistles, the entire penalty scale seemed to make Henson return to G6.

It seems that the referees can't control so much, and they want to make the Heat vs Thunder a reality, even under great pressure and sarcasm from the Pacers.

Backhand defense? If you want, you can carry it. Fake falls? If you fall, I will definitely not give you a whistle.

When the referee has been shameless to this point, Henson can't help even if he is a scoundrel. Therefore, now we must rely on the strength of real knives and guns to fight this last minute. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Pacers relied on their clean and efficient team offense to withstand the referee's offensive wave. Therefore, Henson now only cares about whether his offense plays well or not, whether the referee blows the whistle or not, Henson doesn't care much anymore.

James panted and stepped up to the free-throw line, having played 43 minutes in the game. Counting the last minute, that's 44 minutes.

What is the concept of playing 44 minutes? In other words, James only gets an average of 1 minute of rest per quarter!

So at the free-throw line, James was trying to adjust his breathing. At the same time, in the stands of the Consec Arena, countless fans in corn yellow short sleeves stood up, waving everything in their hands, trying to interfere with the No. 6's free throw.

James is a near-flawless player who can play, defend, weighs more than Duncan but is no bulkier than any No. 3 player, and has even developed a back-to-back offense this season.

But even then, James is only "almost" without flaws. Because projection has always been one of James' weaknesses. But this is also deserved, after all, there are not many big players like him in history who really project very well.

Projection is a very broad application of technology, including free throws. James' free-throw shooting percentage hovers around 75% all year round, and even fell below 70% in the 06-07 season.

Is around 75% of free throw shots high? To be honest, I don't know how much better it is compared to Howard and the like.

But as a comparison, Durant's free-throw shooting rate has been stable at more than 85% for a long time, and it was even as high as 90% last season! Paul has never shot below 80 percent from the free-throw line, and this season he's as high as 87.8 percent.

So looking back at James, did he shoot high free-throw percentage? I'm afraid it's not too high. What's more, it was when he was on the verge of physical exhaustion.

In the first penalty, James hit the ball under pressure. The Heat chased the deficit to just four points, and Spoelstra's palms were completely soaked.

But the second free throw, the basketball thrown by James knocked out the frame! Missing a free throw at a critical moment is very bad!

"Ahh Horford let out a yelling and picked up the defensive rebound. The Heat's rebounding ability is not strong in the first place, not to mention that they are missing Bosh now.

"Foul, foul!" Spoelstra shouted as well, and he motioned to Joe. Anthony drew a direct foul on Horford. Because Horford grabbed the rebound, it means that the Pacers can directly launch a fast break! Don't forget, Horford is one of the best passing centers in the league!

Anyway, the Heat haven't made free throws yet, so they still have the capital to interrupt the offense with fouls.

However Joe. Anthony was still stunned, and Horford threw the ball to the front court with a long pass! Paul. George rode a thousand, and there was only one body behind him that couldn't keep up with Wade, who was conscious.

Wade wanted to jump up and cut the ball off, but the ball was passed high, obviously for George's height of 2.06 meters!

As a pure guard, Wade is only 1.93 meters tall, and he even played point guard when he first entered the league! And the captain of the Heat, Haslem, a big forward who joined the league with Wade in 03, is only 2.03 meters tall!

Although George has been playing guard this season, in terms of height, he and Wade are not at the same level at all!

George stretched out his long arm and easily offloaded Horford's long pass. It was not the first time Wade had experienced such a moment of desperation in this game, and once again, he could only watch as the number 24 in front of him dunked the ball. And as one of the league's most blocked guards, there is nothing he can do.

This sense of powerlessness made Wade's morale low!

"Nice counterattack, so fast! The Heat must seize the free throws or they won't be able to pull them back! "Reggie. Miller's voice was hoarse, but he was still yelling, and he had no intention of stopping.

Can you not get excited? Now the Pacers have a six-point lead over the Heat. If they can keep it up, wait another 40 seconds and the Pacers will have to ...... It's about to reach the NBA Finals for the second time in history!

Finals, this pair of Reggie. For Miller, it was like a dream. Because even a great player like him has only had one Finals experience. Although he has been a commentator for more than ten years at this time, he has long been away from the controversy in the NBA. But seeing that the team that he had played for his entire career could have another chance to reach the Finals, Miller felt that his dream that had not burned for many years seemed to have been continued!

The Heat, on the other hand, were in deep despair, and James hit one of two free throws, which was a bad sign. This means that the Heat's free throws are starting to be shaky. The unstable free throw means that the referee's whistle can't help the Heat!

Who else can the Heat rely on to shoot free throws? Wade? Sorry, Wade is also a near-flawless, but quick defender with a quick shooting, and a free throw percentage that James is half a pound or two. In fact, this is also the reason why in the first half of last season, the two did not integrate well.

Anyone other than James and Wade? If someone else had the ball, the Pacers wouldn't have fouled because their offensive threat was so small!

Battier, Chalmers, Norris. Cole, Mike. Miller, Joe. Anthony, Turiaf, Haslem...... None of these names can end the game!

At this time, Miami fans must be missing Bosh, who used to be so inconspicuous. But it's useless to miss it, not all coaches are like Henson, who has the ability to eliminate injuries.

At the last moment, James still didn't give up. This time, he knew he couldn't look for a whistle again. So James cut without the ball, and then received Wade's pass and forced the frame!

Under the interference and physical contact of Horford and Leonard, James still scored the ball! This was his 32nd point of the day, and even Henson had to admit that James was indeed the best athlete in the league during this period.

"The difference is 4 points again, and the Miami Heat is really tenacious!"

4 minutes, 28 seconds. The Heat didn't plan to foul right away, they wanted to defend it!

Paul stepped up, and he steadfastly controlled the tempo and stalled for time. When Henson said to him, "It's time", Paul thinks that it's not the time to kill, but the time to realize his dream!

As the minutes ticked by, James was anxious, but he had to be patient.

There are 8 seconds left in the clock! Paul beckoned, Horford and West double-screened up! Paul accelerated the break, and Chalmers was delayed by West. Of course, West's cover is actually suspected of illegal covering, but as long as the referee doesn't blow it, it's a good cover!

As soon as Paul bypassed the screen, Wade came up to the defense! CP3 didn't hesitate and hit the ball to Leonard, who was standing in the bottom right corner!

James raised his arms high and pounced, although Leonard opened the three-point series in this series, his shooting percentage was average, and he was not yet accurate to the point of being particularly perverted. Therefore, as long as he is given some interference, his three points will not work.

But Leonard didn't rush to shoot, and with 3 seconds left on the clock, he was still able to pass the ball calmly!

Leonard waved his long arm, and the basketball flew along the baseline to the bottom corner of the other side! There, George, who has improved so much this season, is firmly on the "ammunition". No one expected the Pacers to be able to move the ball to the weak side, so now George is unguarded!

"Paul. George! "Reggie. Miller didn't know what to say, only shouted George's name.

In the regular season last season, George averaged 9.6 points per game. In the regular season this season, he averaged 17.1 points per game. George averaged 6.2 points per game in the playoffs last season. In the playoffs this season, he averaged 17.7 points per game!

George's tremendous pace of improvement is obvious to all, and as a sophomore, he has already become the Pacers' second-leading scorer. It's just that because the Pacers have always been in a state of all-for-all, George didn't stand out very much. As a result, the scoring ability of this second-year forward is often overlooked!

It is very dangerous to have a team's second scoring point completely exposed.

George leaps high and throws the ball in like training! scored 5 points in a row, and George crushed James's championship dream with his own hands!

The moment the basketball went into the net, Reggie. Miller lost his voice instead, only his arms raised with his mouth long. The entire Consec Arena tumbled, and the camera camera shook as a result.

What about Coach Henson? He's ditched his suit and shoulder-to-shoulder with his substitutes, ready to rush onto the pitch!

With four seconds to play, the Pacers led by seven points. The finals are already beckoning to Indianapolis!
