Chapter 649: I'm a college person
Losing by 15 points in the first game of the finals, James fought to the point of calf cramps, and Wade gave it all in the final quarter. You say Bosh doesn't work hard? Although Bosh's presence is not high, his 17 points and 10 rebounds are enough to gag everyone's mouths.
Since the Big Three are already working so hard, who is to blame for the media?
Mario. Chalmers became the poor "man behind the pot".
Obviously he is only a small role in the Heat team, but watching all the media put the responsibility for the loss on his head, Chalmers is also in a terrible mood.
In the dressing room, however, no one comforted Chalmers. Although Chalmers has been with the Heat for six seasons, his position in the locker room has been precarious in recent years. The main reason for this is because of his behavior of "occupying the pit and not".
As a starting point guard, he fails to make a substantial contribution to the team every game, and sometimes even brings negative contributions. This has made Chalmers lose his hearts and minds with the Heat, and even Wade, a good gentleman, rarely talks to him.
Early in the season, Chalmers even clashed with James in the middle of the game. Such a thing undoubtedly made him even more incompatible with the collective.
Not everyone is able to handle the stress of the outside world very well.
In the face of "The Mavericks won only because James left the game early, Yiyang didn't do anything at all. Yiyang may just laugh at this kind of news when he sees it, and then forget about it.
But Chalmers was different, and the words of criticism haunted him, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the reports accusing him would come to his mind.
Chalmers knows that there is only one way to solve the crisis of trust in his teammates and to make the outside public no longer weigh on him.
That's to put in a convincing performance in the next game!
After the first game, James was still confident in front of the media. In two years, the Heat have not lost in a playoff streak. The finals themselves are a matchup between the best two teams, and it is normal to lose and win. If James loses confidence because of a loss in one game, then he doesn't deserve the title of the league's No. 1 man.
"We're going to win, I'm going to prove it with my actions. Of course we have to take a win away from home and everyone knows how bad things can be if we go back to Miami with a 2-0 scoreline. So ......" James looked at the camera today, his eyes determined. "We'll win."
James is not swearing to the fans, but to himself! In this playoffs, all teams that were won by the Mavericks at home twice in a row were eliminated in the end without exception. Even the Spurs, who stubbornly resisted to the sixth game, could not escape this curse.
Therefore, although the next game is only the second game of the Finals, it is the game that the Heat have to win! If the Mavericks win both of their home games, they would have touched the O'Brien Cup with one hand.
James will never let such a thing happen, and his dream of three consecutive hegemony must not be shattered at this last step!
As with the previous matches, just one day apart and barely getting a chance to breathe and adjust, the two sides had to start their second matchup.
After a day of rest, Yiyang's physical fitness basically returned to normal. And on the Heat's side, James is also at his best.
MVP, James can let Yiyang take it. But the championship, LeBron will never allow anyone but himself to get involved!
At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks had four turnovers. Four turnovers, all of which were spelled out by James leading the team. He pressed frantically, allowing Iguodala and Nowitzki to concede two goals each.
Despite this, with Yiyang's steady play, the Mavericks got off to a smooth start. Yiyang made a foul on Chalmers shortly after the opening and scored 3 points with free throws. Chalmers seemed to have pushed a little too hard today, and that opening foul was simply unnecessary. He insisted on blocking even though he knew that he couldn't jump Yiyang, so he didn't get anything but fouls.
With 9 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, Yiyang faked a real pass and assisted Gobert to smash a one-handed dunk on Bosh's head. Just two minutes later, Iguodala hit a three-point shot and Yiyang jumped high to make a dunk. After the deduction, the camera was not given to Yiyang, but to the bewildered Chalmers.
"Where's the card slot? Why doesn't Chalmers go to the card slot!? This is the most basic and basic quality even for an outside player! If he gets stuck, he won't get a chance to make up for it! In less than 5 minutes of this quarter, he has already allowed Yi to score 7 points and 2 assists! God, who's going to replace this guy! The commentators from Miami were furious, and Chalmers' efforts today yielded nothing but to put him on his back for multiple unnecessary fouls.
In Chalmers's heart, he was even more aggrieved than he had been two days ago!
Fortunately, James also started to play well. It can be seen that LeBron's desire to win today is quite strong. He no longer does it alone, but tries to get everyone into the attack.
Lewis received a pass from James and hit a three-point shot, and Wade cut inside to receive the pass and made an easy layup. Chalmers ...... Chalmers didn't receive a single pass, and as the Heat's starting point guard for the entire first quarter, he didn't score anything but fouls and turnovers.
Subsequently, the two sides fought against each other. Yiyang's breakaway attracted the defense and allowed Nowitzki to get multiple shots. And James's long-range shooting, which has always been criticized, has not dragged its feet today. In the middle of the third quarter, James hit three consecutive shots in less than one minute, including two three-pointers, and one person hit a wave of 8-0 mini-climax.
The two sides faced each other, and the omnipotence of Yiyang and James made the commentators' mouths open and never closed.
Scoring, defense, rebounding, organization, Yiyang and James can do everything on the court, and they all do a good job.
In the last 24 seconds of the third quarter, the Heat took a two-point lead after Wade's 2+1. In the final round, the Mavericks attacked with the ball, and this time, the Heat's rotation was flawless. Yiyang passed the ball several times, but he didn't let his teammates get a chance.
In the last five seconds, Iguodala gave the ball back to Yiyang, and Yiyang singled to solve the last attack.
Yiyang broke through Chalmers after a false shot, but was forced to stop by James who came from the defense halfway. In the case of two people sandwiched, Yiyang couldn't shoot at all. As long as the last few seconds pass, the Heat can hold on to their advantage!
But at this moment, Chalmers suddenly had a brain twitch and wanted to cut off the basketball in Yiyang's hand. All this, the ball was not touched, but hit Yiyang's hand hard!
"Toot toot!" The referee's whistle blows, and Chalmers is fouled in the last 1.3 seconds of the third quarter!
Beside Chalmers, James was stunned. This guy next to me is the sixth man of the Mavericks!
The fouls were counted, and Yiyang stood on the free throw line. Obviously, the Heat had successfully defended the last 24 seconds, but they were completely disrupted by Chalmers's stupid foul. Faced with the disgusted eyes of his teammates, Chalmers almost collapsed.
So in this way, the two sides entered the fourth quarter with a tie score.
Today, the air conditioning in the U.S. Route Center arena is in good condition. The temperature is not so high, and Yiyang and James's physical energy consumption is relatively slow. Half a quarter of the game passed, and the two sides still played back and forth, and there was no way to tell the winner at all.
"This is probably the best game LeBron has played in the entire playoffs!" Seeing James relying on his personal strength to support the Heat, Barkley couldn't help but praise him.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, Yiyang's shot on the head of Chalmers made this guy completely unbalanced! I've been working so defense, why can that guy just shoot and hit!
Chalmers is definitely a grumpy guy once he is mentally unbalanced. At the beginning of this season, in the game between the Heat and the Clippers, Chalmers made the "feat" of being blown 3 fouls in a row in 34 seconds because of the explosive mentality of being beaten by Paul. After the foul, he didn't forget to elbow Griffin to vent his anger. If it weren't for the Heat's veteran captain Haslem coming forward, Chalmers might have been cleaned up by Paul that day.
This time, Chalmers possessed the ball past half court and ignored James' raised arm. He didn't pass the ball, he accelerated and wanted to break through!
But Yiyang is the master who can be broken through so easily, he stuck to Chalmers's side, and did not give this former MOP a chance.
Chalmers was so anxious that his mentality had exploded, so he came up with a way to get rid of Yiyang! Chalmers dribbled with his right hand, and his left hand seemed to be swinging his arm normally, but he suddenly slammed his force and swung his elbow to Yiyang's ribs! This elbow, Chalmers spared no effort.
"Boom!" The muffled sound of bones and muscles colliding could be heard even by fans in the second row of the audience.
"Ahh Vignali covered her mouth, and that elbow was something that could only be seen in a kickboxing ring!
"Wow!" Yiyang couldn't help but snort, and the sharp pain spread throughout his body, making him suddenly weak and curled up on the ground.
Chalmers smiled, he could finally score! Just as he was about to go to the basket, the referee blew a quick whistle and interrupted the game. Chalmers fouled the offense and wasted a valuable scoring opportunity!
"Damn, what did that guy do!?" Gobert, as the youngest player on the court, is naturally the least calm. He rushes up to trouble Chalmers, but is pulled back by Dirk.
"Stay where you are, boy!"
Subsequently, the players on the field began to check Yiyang's situation. Yiyang gritted his teeth and felt a little out of breath. The elbow to the ribs can be big or small. If it's small, it's something that hurts for a while, and if it's big, it may be like Gerald. Wallace was like that, and his lungs were directly pierced!
"Fuck off, you idiots!" Benjamin pushed the referee away, rushed onto the court, and immediately knelt down to check on Yiyang's situation. The moment he knelt on his knees, a loud "bang" startled the players. It seems that this chief team doctor is really in a hurry.
He first touched Yiyang's chest, and there was no depression, which meant that the ribs were not deformed, and there was no danger of the ribs piercing the lungs. But what the specific situation of Yiyang is, he can't judge. It is possible to have broken ribs, or cracked bones, which cannot be touched alone.
Yiyang was indeed in a lot of pain right now, and he accepted Benjamin's offer to rest. With the support of his teammates, he walked to the ...... Straight to the players' tunnel.
"God, this series is so intense. The last game was LeBron, and this game is also. Everyone gave everything they had, but Chalmers's actions should be severely condemned and punished! No, wait, is this just a walk into the players' tunnel? 'Ross Barkley was stunned, if a player needs to go straight back to the dressing room, it usually means his injury is not optimistic!
After studying the video footage of the game, the referee gave Chalmers a second-degree malicious foul on the spot, and he was directly ejected. But that still didn't quell the anger of the Mavericks fans, who let out loud boos and even swore words.
Chalmers for Yiyang, no matter how you look at it, this is a much more beneficial deal for the Heat!
Yiyang was helped back by Benjamin, and on the field, the game started again.
At this point, there were 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and the two sides were tied. Collison, who came off the bench, took free throws instead of Yiyang, but missed two free throws! Yiyang left, and the Mavericks' military spirit began to mess up!
Then, James launched a tidal offensive. He first passed the ball to Wade and then cut inside himself. Wade passed the ball directly, the "Janeway connection" was formed, and James won the empty dunk!
"Hoo ......" the audience booed, which made Yiyang, who had just walked into the player's tunnel, stop. He knew that the Mavericks had dropped points.
"Let's go, you need to do a full check!" Benjamin was still urging, but Yiyang was unmoved.
"I'll take a break here, Benjamin." Yiyang shook off Benjamin's hand that was supporting him, crossed his waist and took a few deep breaths. There was still some pain in his ribs, but as long as he didn't take a deep breath, it didn't seem to be that serious.
On the field, Collison was visibly nervous. After all, he didn't expect that he would be ordered at a critical moment. So, Kerr, who came on as a substitute for Chalmers, saw the opportunity to steal and played a fast attack, and the Mavericks fell behind by 4 points! In this case, 4 points behind is definitely very fatal!
"What the ......" Carlisle gritted his teeth, if Yiyang was here, these things wouldn't have happened at all!
Another wave of boos poured into the players' tunnel and jumped into Yiyang's ears. Yiyang now knows that the Mavericks are 4 points behind!
"Benjamin." Yiyang looked at the big screen through the player's tunnel. Game time is running out, and the Mavericks can't just let the Heat pick up the win. "I'm going back."
"You're fucking crazy! You are crazy! Your inner bones may be fractured, or they may be cracked! If there's a secondary injury and those bones go into your lungs, you're going to die!" Benjamin doesn't want Yiyang to become the next Gerald. Wallace.
"Hey, I'm not that serious, Benjamin. You can't fool me, I'm a college guy. Yiyang winked at Benjamin, and then walked straight out of the player's tunnel before the latter could react!
Benjamin was stunned, when did that guy still make jokes? Is he himself crazy, or is the Chinese crazy?
"Darren. Collison was a little nervous, after all, this was a crucial moment for the ownership of the O'Brien Cup, but ...... Hey, wait, look at Charles. Yes, yes, he's back on the basketball court! "Kenny. Smith pointed to the exit of the player's tunnel and shouted excitedly, and Yiyang rubbed his ribs, still a little painful. But now, it doesn't matter so much!
"Haha, I knew it, I knew that guy wasn't that easy to go down, I knew it. I said dirty work again? If they want to be fined, they will be fined! I-know it's not going to be so easy to disarm and surrender! Barkley was already open-mouthed, and the situation did not allow him to consider what he was saying.
“MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP! Fans also spotted Yiyang returning to the court, and they spontaneously shouted, drowning out the entire arena, and indeed the entire Dallas, with the shouts of the MVP.
At that moment, Yiyang was in a trance. In 2011, Dirk insisted on playing with a high fever and was worshiped by the audience who shouted MVP. At that time, Yiyang was infected by Dirk's actions, and he wondered if he would become such a character one day.
Now in 2014, this shout is ringing again. However, it is dedicated to Yiyang! This guy, he really became the Dirk of the year, became a real leader.
Dallas has changed hands, and what Dirk did back then, Yiyang must also do!
"Why are you back!?" Carlisle called a pause, then asked in surprise.
"I wanted to take him back to the locker room, but I insisted on coming back." Benjamin trotted after him from behind and explained the situation to Carlisle.
"Come on, boss, let's go win the game!" Yiyang didn't talk nonsense, and directly put forward his own requirements.
At the scene, the MVP's shouting continued, and there seemed to be no intention of stopping.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Carlisle bit and seemed to have gone through a difficult battle of ideas. "Later, you replace Dalen, remember, I want you to organize an attack, don't go into the penalty area."
He compromised.
At this time, Yiyang's smile disappeared instead. He's going to face the enemy, and there's no smile on his face when he faces the enemy!
Yiyang returned and stepped back on the court, and the whole city of Dallas trembled.
"I'm going to give him a contract of 100 million yuan, I'm going to give him a contract of 100 million yuan!" Cuban lost his mind and shouted in the stands.
In the end, Yiyang held the ball and advanced towards the Heat halfcourt.
Instead of going toe-to-toe with Cole, he hoisted the ball to Dirk. Cole let his guard down, Yiyang played so gently, he should have really been injured. Otherwise, now, he will definitely force himself!
At this moment, Yiyang suddenly ran to the bottom corner of the left, and the starting speed was the same as before!
Cole was just about to move sideways, but he collided with Gobert! Perfect off-ball cover, Yiyang ran out of his chance!
"Dirk!" Yiyang yelled, and Nowitzki immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner.
James immediately pounced on Yiyang, he knew very well that this goal was scored, and the momentum of the Mavericks would be unstoppable!
Yiyang caught the ball, endured the pain in his chest, and was not afraid of the No. 6 strong man who came to make up the defense. There is only one voice in his heart, win the game, lead the team to win the game!
Press your wrist, flick your fingers, and shoot. James was still a step slower after all, the basketball went over everyone's heads, and then went straight to the net!
“hat a inconceivable shoot!!!!!!”
"Also, he made a three-pointer as soon as he came back, and it was still in LeBron. Under James' defense! ”
"What else can I say!? Welcome back, King! ”
Yiyang's hands sank and he pointed to the floor of the arena in the center of the American route!
This is my home turf! This is my game!
