Chapter 357: Losing the Game
During the pause, the Rockets began to talk about tactics around them, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, after all, in the last three minutes, the Heat was still leading by 6 points, if it weren't for Yao Ming, maybe the Heat would have led by more than just six points.
Compared with the Rockets, the Heat showed a relaxed look one by one, and in Erik's cognition, they had a six-point advantage in the last three minutes, and the Big Three were still there, which was basically stable.
Although it is said that anything can happen on the field, Eric still believes in the Big Three very much at this point, or he can't even hold on to the six-point advantage, then what kind of championship can he say.
After some arrangement by the coaches on both sides, the game also began, the Rockets' ball possession, summer ball holding began to be compared to three fingers, this is Adelman's latest tactic for them, three-point tactics.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as Adelman gambling, after all, three minutes is not a lot, and chasing two points is undoubtedly more reliable than chasing three, but Adelman gambled three points.
At this time, Adelman also held a kind of gambler's heart, after all, if he could open the score with three points at the last moment, it would be a major blow to the Heat.
However, whether it can be achieved depends only on their performance in the summer, and it can be said that for the success of this tactic, Adelman replaced Ye Hao and replaced him with Ariza, who was more stable in three points.
Summer organization, Yao Ming ran out to make a block for him, relying on the block and dismantling Summer and Yao Ming also went down at the same time, and the Heat's lineup also began to shrink, after all, at this critical moment, the Heat didn't think the Rockets would be bold enough to chase points with three points.
After shrinking, Ariza and Harden directly showed the vacancy, and a jump pass in the summer passed the ball to Ariza, Ariza shook a little, James quickly pounced, and then Ariza passed the ball to Harden.
Harden didn't hesitate to shoot, but unfortunately the three-point shot came out, the Heat collected the rebound and began to counterattack the fast break, and Wade took the lead with the ball and entered the Rockets' restricted area.
James also followed, and at this time all the Rockets fans stood up and began to pray, after all, it was impossible for the Rockets fans to see what they were going to do, so the only thing they could do was pray that the Rockets could stop them.
The Jenway connection is indeed the Jenway connection, although the Rockets' teammates returned to defense quickly, but the position of Wade and James was indeed too deep, and at this time, I saw Wade glance behind him and threw the ball high.
The basketball rebounded, and James followed up with the dunk.
93:99
The audience was silent, this air connection was too deep a blow to the morale of the fans, even if it was a violent dunk, it was still the connection of two superstars, maybe even the morale of the Rockets players was hit.
The game continued, and the Rockets continued to implement Adelman's tactics, insisting on a three-point break through the ball in the summer, and after attracting the defense of the opposing players, the summer hit the ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming shook a little, attracted Bosh and handed the ball directly to the vacant Ariza, after receiving the ball, Ariza did not hesitate to shoot, the three-point shot crossed the court, and the Nets fell under the expectations of the fans and players.
96:99
Suddenly there was a cheer on the court, this three-point came in time, and everyone who saw the Heat only have three points left in the lead was also relieved.
"nice" Harden and Ariza high-fived in celebration.
It was the Heat's turn to attack, Wade handed the ball to Bosh after sparing a lap on the outside, and Bosh began to hit Yao Ming with his back, although he couldn't squeeze Yao Ming, but after James cut inside, Bosh also hoisted the ball.
James received the ball directly against Hassan and put the ball into the basket, and with James' goal, Hassan was also depressed, and there were only two minutes left, but his defense made a mistake at this time, which made him very uncomfortable.
96:101
Summer patted Hassan on the shoulder and smiled at him, "It's okay, just cover him next time, serve." ”
Hassan nodded and ran out of bounds to start serving, receiving the ball in the summer and continuing to organize, the same old tactics, the transfer of the ball after the break, the Heat is still the main defense inside, so that the Rockets once again got the opportunity to vacate the space.
It was still Harden's vacancy, Harden took a shot after receiving the ball, and this time Harden finally seized the opportunity, and the three points directly turned over the net.
99:101
The Heat began to get anxious, Eric directly called a timeout, the Rocket's three-point score was too terrifying, even the Heat now dare not continue to let the Rockets go outside.
However, Adelman still insists on the three-point tactic, although Adelman has guessed that Eric will put three to two, but in the face of the Rockets' outside touch, Adelman has not changed his mind, but the only change is that Adelman put the summer in the projection position, and then sent Lowry to replace Hassan.
Although there is a little less defense on the inside, but the firepower on the outside is greatly increased, after all, Lowry is also a small three-point expert, although he is a small steel cannon, but Lowry's three-point is not much worse than Dragic.
The game restarted, the Heat's ball possession, Wade controlled the basketball and pressed the time, although there were still two minutes left, but the Heat probably wanted to fight back while maintaining the lead, so it was also pressing the time.
As the time decreased by second by second, Wade did not hand over the ball to James, but killed directly to the inside line alone, and now the inside line is without Hassan, it can be said that the deterrent power of the inside line has gone down to a level, so Wade didn't even think about it and went directly into the inside, and against the Harden lever who helped defend the ball, Wade put the ball into the basket with a board.
99:103
With a minute and a half left, Lowry began to organize the team's offense, and everyone was pulled down outside the three-point line, including Yao Ming, which was also Adelman's idea, giving up the frontcourt rebounding and putting all his energy on defense.
Lowry burst into the pass to Summer, who faked a shot and threw the ball straight into the basket in front of Bosh.
102:103
Although the Heat has stared at the outside line, it is still useless, after all, the three points in the summer are notoriously accurate, and in the face of this situation, James also patted Bosh on the shoulder.
"I'll defend it."
With James' defense, the accuracy finally dropped in the summer, the second shot hit the iron, and the third quarter shot three without sticking, James's flexibility is indeed too good compared to Bosh.
It's not just the three-point inaccuracy in the summer, but the last minute and a half as the Heat's outside defense strengthens, everyone's three-point shooting begins to be collectively inaccurate, which is not the most important, the most important thing is that the Rockets can't defend the Heat Big Three at all.
By the end of the game, the score was fixed at 108:105, and the Heat narrowly beat the Rockets by three points
