Chapter 307: The King of the Last Days and Mr. Key
“Let’s go Heat! Let’s go Heat! Let’s go Heat! ”
The entire arena and even the entire city of Miami, at this time, can only hear the shouts of the Heat fans. They were frantically cheering for the team, and the sound was so loud that Barkley couldn't completely eliminate it even with headphones.
A huge wave of sound hit, and Yiyang felt that the bench on the bench seemed to be trembling with the shouts of the fans. But he and his teammates won't, this kind of formation, it won't scare them!
They've got Dirk, they've got Terry, they've got Kidd, they've got themselves!
"Also, you defend Dwayne yourself. Jason, get on the pitch and control the tempo. Don't be in a hurry, although we are lagging behind, we still can't be in a hurry. The more anxious you are, the smoother the Heat will play! Dirk, don't foul. Someone else will carry it for you if you need to. If the others can't make it in time, you just let the others score easily, and don't act rashly! If you do, it will hit us harder! Cheer up, 4 minutes is more than enough! Look at these guys, they thought they had a win! Go on the field and tell them you want to be beautiful! ”
Carlisle slapped the board hard as he spoke, and at the same time the timeout ended, and the battle resumed.
Kidd, Yiyang, Marion, Nowitzki and Chandler stepped onto the court, and these five guys will be the Mavericks' last hope to climb over the mountain.
On the other side, the Heat directly sent the starting five Tigers. Wade is even more eager to try, don't think that if Yiyang comes back, he will definitely be able to stop himself!
The game restarted, and under the fierce boos of the Heat fans, Kidd controlled the ball and advanced under pressure. Chalmers defended Kidd very tightly, and even if the opponent was just an "old man" who was almost 40 years old, Chalmers didn't want to leave him any space.
Seeing that Chalmers was sticking closely, Kidd handed the ball to Yiyang, who was standing outside the three-point line on the right side, after stepping into the halfcourt. As soon as Yiyang held the ball, Wade immediately became nervous. At the same time, the Heat's defensive lineup is also tilted in the direction of Yiyang's ball. It seems that Spoelstra has made a lot of arrangements for Yiyang.
Yiyang slowly began to dribble, looking for a rhythm to break through. He beckoned his teammates to come up and set up a cover. Nowitzki deservedly mentioned the high post, and his blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Yiyang is the Mavericks' most threatening offensive means!
"Don't change guards!" Nowitzki blocked it, and Wade yelled at Bosh. At the same time, Yiyang quickly broke through the block, squeezed through the block, and tried to chase Yiyang.
Bosh heeded Wade's advice and did not choose to switch defenses, but stayed in front of Nowitzki. In this way, Yiyang's return route was cut off, and Joe. Anthony has been waiting for Yiyang on the inside. Before there was Joe. Anthony blocked, followed by Wade in pursuit. It seems that Yiyang is in a dilemma.
Seeing that Yiyang is about to talk to Joe. Anthony bumps into each other, but people discover a problem. Joe. Anthony was empty behind him, where was Chandler?
It turned out that at the same time that Nowitzki blocked Yiyang, Chandler also mentioned the high position. But not to open up space, but to give Kidd an off-ball screen!
At this time, Kidd had already run out of an empty space through the off-ball screen. After Yiyang entered the three-second zone, he pushed hard with both hands and sent the basketball to Kidd.
Kidd, who was in the open position, received the ball and shot, although the veteran did not have very good statistics per game. But at the critical moment, he can definitely stand up!
"Brush!" Basketball over Joe. The top of Anthony's head, straight into the net. Yiyang jumped excitedly, and then high-fived Kidd.
The Mavericks hit a three-pointer, and on the first shot after a timeout, they narrowed the margin to single digits!
After the return of Yihe Dirk, the Heat's defense was obviously not so easy. These two guys are always able to draw the defense and lead the offense. Now, let's see how the Heat respond! ”
It's not so much about how the Heat respond, it's about how Wade responds. Bosh has been completely blown up by Nowitzki today, and James is heavily defended, and as soon as he breaks through, he will be trapped, and it is difficult to get a chance. Only Wade is the most sure point of attack now.
Chalmers now doesn't even have the role of possession over half court, and Wade carries the ball himself to advance. On the other side, Yiyang is already waiting for the arrival of "The Flash".
Wade stepped across the halfway line and looked at the Band-Aid at the corner of Yiyang's eyebrows. What it was like to eat an elbow of James, Wade didn't want to try it. But he knew it wouldn't be pleasant. Yiyang, this guy, is really hard enough......
Wade passed the ball out and handed it to James. But Wade didn't stand still and wait after the pass, but quickly started to run, looking for space to catch the ball.
Sure enough, after Yiyang came back, the pressure on Wade was greatly increased. Dallas No. 1 clinged to Wade every inch, and he was like glue on his hands, so Wade couldn't shake it off.
James was going to break through on his own, but after he broke into the interior, the three of them immediately wrapped up, leaving LeBron without even space to get the ball.
In the gap, James barely passed the ball to Wade. At this time, the restricted area was already overcrowded, and Wade was undoubtedly asking for trouble if he broke into it again.
So he made a fake shooting and then stepped back, and Wade jumped directly to shoot!
Yiyang's reaction was quick and he didn't shake up. As Wade jumped, he tried to jump and interfere as best he could. Yiyang has not forgotten that on the last shot of the last game, Wade mercilessly gave himself a big risk. Today, I want to pay it back in full!
Wade forced a shot, but Yiyang's fingers grazed the bottom of the basketball, completely changing the trajectory of the basketball's flight.
Although it didn't fly the fan out directly, it was still a cover. Chandler stretched out his long arm to pocket the ball, the Heat failed to attack, and the Mavericks fought back again!
This time, the Mavericks didn't look any other way. Yiyang pushed forward slowly and sent the ball to Nowitzki. Although the German had a break from the game, his hand was still hot.
After receiving the basketball, he took a step back and shot lightly. Bosh's hand had completely covered Nowitzki, but Dirk's shot was still steady.
The basketball was thrown smoothly, and Bosh looked back in despair. Just in time to see the basketball fall straight into the net, Nowitzki scored again!
"God, it seems that after a few minutes of rest, Dirk's hands didn't cool down at all. The Germans began his brutal reign again, and Chris. Bosh's nightmare today is far from over! ”
In the next few rounds, even the crazy Wade failed to score points for the Heat. Yiyang's toughness on the defensive end makes it difficult for Wade, a guy whose physical fitness has begun to deteriorate, to deal with.
In addition to scoring, the Mavericks were in complete control of the rebounding ball. Chandler, Nowitzki, and even Yiyang have all scrambled for offensive rebounds after several offensive failures. With offensive rebounding, you can have a second chance to attack.
Relying on tough defense and control of rebounding, the Mavericks gradually closed the score. In the stands, the shouts of the fans became quieter and quieter. They were afraid, afraid that their team would lose a game that was meant to be won!
In the final 54.6 seconds of the game, Nowitzki wiped past Bosh with a beautiful turn and scored a layup with James' help in defense. This layup knocked the American Airlines Arena silent. 94-94, the Mavericks were stunned to close the 12-point deficit with Nowitzki's unreasonable performance. During this period, the Heat only relied on James to score 2 points, and the Mavericks scored all the other points except for Kidd's three-point shot at the beginning, Nowitzki single-handedly!
"The Doomsday King is back, and Dirk's terrifying dominance has put the Heat in trouble again!" After the goal, Nowitzki was like an angry lion, looking up to the sky and roaring. Who said they would lose? Now, the score is still deadlocked!
Nowitzki's threat is growing, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later this match will change the outcome because of Nowitzki.
So this time on the attack, Bosh actively asked for the ball. It stands to reason that Bosh has been completely blown up today, and the offensive end is not sure, and the ball should not be played to him.
But Bosh has his own plans, and if this can really be successful, he can be regarded as making up for it!
After Bosh leaned on Nowitzki to hold the ball, he sat down hard and then suddenly retreated, as if he was about to turn over and make a jumper.
Nowitzki was up to the task, and he jumped high in excitement to block Bosh's shot again.
However, Bosh just stood there and watched Dirk, with no intention of getting up and shooting. Nowitzki also thought that Bosh would take a step up past him and pick up the basket with ease. As everyone knows, Bosh actually pounced on Nowitzki, who was starting to fall, and made a shooting move.
"Toot toot!" The referee's hurried whistle blew.
"No!" Carlisle jumped from his seat and almost rushed onto the pitch to confront the referee.
"The referee blew Nowitzki for a defensive foul! Oh my God, he's been banished. Dirk, who dominated the game, is now unable to stay on the court to play! ”
Barkley's frightened shouts sent Dallas fans gasp. Nowitzki's form today was unbeatable, but if he was ejected, Dirk's form would not help.
"Hey, that's obviously an offensive foul!" Nowitzki himself rushed to the referee to defend himself. But the referee turned a deaf ear and just gestured to Dirk over and over again.
"Shit!" Nowitzki simply picked up the basketball on the ground and smashed it out, seeing that he was about to complete the reversal and win the game, and now it was all in vain!
It was a huge blow to the Mavericks, and in the last 40 seconds, the Mavericks lost the all-important Dirk. Oh my God, how the hell is going to be the game!? ”
Even if reluctantly, the Mavericks have to come to terms with this fact. Nowitzki is off, and in the last 40 seconds of the game, they have to rely on themselves!
Bosh then hit both free throws from the free-throw line to give the Heat a two-point lead over the Mavericks.
Without Nowitzki, the most dangerous point, the Heat's defense is full of confidence. Nowitzki was indeed unstoppable today, but he couldn't play, and all the problems were solved. The Big Three are now completely sure that they can win!
Kidd slowly advanced with the ball, and the others were watched so hard that there was no room to catch the ball at all.
Yiyang shook off Wade's arm on his body and ran forward to answer it. Kidd hit the ball just right, allowing Yiyang to receive it steadily. After receiving the basketball, he turned to face the frame, and Wade pasted it without reservation.
Yiyang hugged the basketball tightly with both hands and bent down deeply. He even did not hesitate to push his head against Wade's chest in order to win himself the small space to make movements.
Moment! Yiyang held the ball and stabbed Wade to the right. Wade hurriedly blocked, but he saw that Yiyang seemed to want to lean on himself and turn to the left.
After changing direction, one after another quickly turned, this is a common trick used by Yiyang when he is passing, and Wade will not be fooled again!
"The Flash" changed his focus in advance, and Yiyang really turned around!
But Yiyang's turn was only halfway around, and it came to an abrupt end! He did not continue, but broke through in the same direction!
Wade couldn't change his center of gravity quickly and continuously, and could only watch Yiyang surpass him. This time, Yiyang completely got rid of Wade.
After the breakout, Wade turned and chased back. Yiyang took a step back and made a mid-range jumper.
Wade's blockade looked desperate, and Yiyang's feints made "The Flash" dizzy.
Yiyang's shot hit the front of the basket, but it still fell into the net.
The Mavericks players on the bench all jerked to their feet, waving their towels in their hands. Nowitzki was not there, and Yiyang carried the scoring banner of the Mavericks and helped the team equalize at a critical moment!
At this point, there were 30 seconds left before the end of the game. Spoelstra used the last timeout in his hand in an attempt to set up a final attack.
Carlisle, on the other hand, put all his energy on defense. As long as they can defend this ball, the Mavericks will be safe for the time being. As for extra time, that's the next step.
Barkley was already sweating profusely at this time, and the excitement of this game was far greater than he expected. Aside from Barkley, many Heat fans didn't even dare to watch this last offense, for fear that their hearts would not be able to withstand the blow.
At the end of the timeout, Wade slowly controlled the ball and attacked. It can be seen that the Heat are planning to press time. Even if the offense is unfavorable, it won't leave much time for the Mavericks.
Yiyang stretched out his arms in front of Wade, not giving an inch of land.
When there were only 5 seconds left in the offensive time, the Heat's two interior lines suddenly rose up and set up a double cover for Wade!
Wade broke through instantly, and when he bypassed the pick-and-roll, he even thought he could finish the game!
However, in the next second, Yiyang suddenly came out. The quality of Bosh's blocking and dismantling is not good, and Yiyang easily bypasses it!
Seeing that time was running out, Wade had no way to force a shot. He caught a glimpse of Chalmers in the open space and passed the ball in the final moments!
Chalmers was unmarked at this time, as the Mavericks' defensive focus was on Wade and James. With the last second left on the clock, Chalmers had to make a hasty shot from beyond the three-point line.
Although it was an empty seat, Chalmers was visibly overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure. The ball he threw was so deceitful that he almost couldn't even touch the basket!
"Damn it!" Wade cursed to himself, and by the same time Chandler had already protected the rebound.
There was no timeout, and Chandler threw the ball forward hard!
Wade came back to his senses and realized that Yiyang was no longer by his side! That guy, already through the half!
It's still James, it's still James who catches up with Yiyang first! Wade also chased frantically behind him, Yiyang was surrounded by two tough blockers, and the result of the game depends on this offense and defense!
After Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, he immediately jumped! James and Wade also jumped up, Yiyang held the basketball in his left hand, and it seemed that it was impossible to escape the "claws" of James and Wade! ”
Just as James was about to touch the basketball, Yiyang put the ball down to his waist. James failed to block successfully, but Wade kept a hand, and he had already guessed that Yiyang would pull up the lever for a layup!
But when Yiyang lifted the basketball again, Wade was stunned. Yiyang's ball carrier is no longer left-handed, but right-handed! This guy has done a lever change of hands in the air!
Wade's body has begun to fall, and he has no hope of completing the block. Yiyang's ability to stay in the air made James and Wade defeated!
Change hands, lift it over your head again, and place it gently.
The basketball obediently crashed into the net, and on the rebound, the number of the timer stopped beating.
98-96, Yiyang's layup gave the Mavericks an unexpected regain the lead. And the timer on the rebound is only 2.3 seconds left. The Heat, there is no timeout.
Nowitzki slammed up from his seat, and he wanted to jump on it and hug Yiyang tightly, but the game wasn't over yet, so he couldn't do that!
Everyone held their breath and waited for two seconds before rushing inside.
Yiyang, that guy on Wade and James' heads, killed the game!
A king of stubbles, a key gentleman. The defense of the Heat's Big Three eventually collapsed.
