Chapter 305: Only Persistence

In the visiting locker room at the American Airlines Arena, Carlisle could only hear the players breathing heavily. Everyone was sweating profusely, and they sat in front of the locker in various positions just to regain some more strength.

It's not impossible to beat a team like the Heat with several superstars, but you'll have to pay a huge price for it.

Quick change of guard, tough blocking, and concentration are all indispensable. Although demanding, in the first half of the game, the Mavericks really did it. I believe that the Heat team must not be comfortable now, and those guys definitely didn't expect that they would encounter such strong resistance.

Carlisle isn't worried about the execution of the players right now, he's worried about everyone's fitness. At the end of the second quarter, it was because the Mavericks removed most of their starters that Wade was able to score nine points in a row to close the gap.

How to set the rotation time in the second half of the game has undoubtedly become a problem for Carlisle.

"51-51, the Miami Heat met stubborn resistance at home. Nowitzki and the Mavericks took five years to get back here, and they're not going to let it go easily. In the second half, the Big Three had to be spirited. Otherwise, there is a good chance that the Mavericks will steal a win on the road! ”

Ross Barkley and Smith in the stands have already started to warm up for the second half, and in fact, without these two guys to warm up, the enthusiasm of the fans will swell like popcorn.

It's just that most people don't want to see how the Mavericks hold on to the end. What they want to see is how the Heat win in the end.

After a short break, the players from both sides re-emerged from the tunnel. Although the Heat were pressed in the first half of the game, they looked relaxed. The players of the Dallas Mavericks frowned one by one, looking exhausted. It was as if they hadn't gone back to the locker room to rest just now, but had gone to the strength room to practice.

Pull away quickly, which is still the goal of the Heat. They don't want to fight the Mavericks to the end, and settling the battle as early as possible is the safest way to win.

After scoring nine straight points at the end of the second quarter, Wade felt like he had touched a switch on his body and became extremely crazy.

As soon as the third quarter began, Wade used a simple but quick forward change of body to lean on Stevenson to break through and successfully scored a backhand layup. Stevenson's defense was not tight, but Wade managed to get the ball up under pressure.

Counting the second quarter of the game, Wade has scored 11 points in a row. Superstars lead the offense, and that's how the Heat win.

The Heat took a one-goal lead as soon as they came up, and people were desperate to hope that the momentum would not be interrupted and the Mavericks would be defeated in one fell swoop.

However, a flash of blue lightning shattered the beautiful illusions of Miamins.

Yiyang did not advance slowly after receiving the baseline ball, but quickly rushed towards the half court guarded by the Heat. When he arrived in front of Wade, Yiyang's crotch changed hands and accelerated violently, allowing him to surpass the "Flash" by half a small position.

But this small distance of half a body is still not safe for Yiyang, Wade's signature is big, and Yiyang doesn't want to try it.

Yiyang entered the inside, raised the basketball, and made a layup. Wade was not deceived, he did not jump, but stuck to Yiyang, and did not even intend to leave space for passing.

But Yiyang still got the ball out of the cracks and sent the ball to Marion. Marion took a step back after receiving the basketball before he jumped and shot. This time, Marion dodged James's defense and managed to score two points.

The Mavericks bit the score again, and their tenacity continued. Spoelstra pouted, he wanted to see how long the Mavericks could hold out like this!

A few rounds later, Wade sent a relay pass in the air, and James, who was running in front, jumped high, like an eagle with wings outstretched, pressed Marion with his arms raised, and stunned to catch the ball and dunk it into the basket.

Marion's defense was once again crushed by James' perverted physicality, and the shot was very demoralizing, because James not only scored points, but he also carved a hole in the Mavericks' copper wall.

Everyone in the stands was cheering, and now the Mavericks should be convinced.

However, no one thought of it. This time, it was Marion who had just been blocked by James.

Yiyang slowly controls the rhythm, allowing his teammates plenty of time to run. The ball was transmitted several times and returned to Yiyang's hand. Yiyang made a breakthrough, but in fact, he played the ball again. This time, the attack was ended.

Marion received the basketball, and James thought the guy was going to jump shot again, so he was defenseless behind him. As everyone knows, Marion chose to break through after making a fake shot, James couldn't react, Marion made an easy layup, and the score was tied again!

Bosh then had his step-back jumper blocked by Nowitzki. The German's injured middle finger did not affect him, but always inspired him, every ball must be fought for, and it is worthy of the five years of hard work!

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, the basketball that Bosh had just shot was mercilessly stopped by Nowitzki. The most terrible thing is that this basketball is impartial, and it happens to fall into the hands of Yiyang.

So what are you waiting for? After receiving the basketball, Yiyang turned around and started running! The Heat quickly stepped back and James was the quickest to react.

James followed closely behind Yiyang, waiting for an opportunity to seal the block. Ordinary people will be under tremendous pressure when they see a "humanoid tank" following behind them. There's such a guy staring at him that most players will choose to pass the ball.

But Yiyang, he is not afraid of these now.

Stepping into the three-second zone, Yiyang jumped directly, looking like he wanted to dunk!

James jumped up after Yiyang, he stretched out his long arm to block Yiyang, it was too easy for James!

Just as James waved his arms violently according to the basketball, Yiyang suddenly put the basketball in front of his chest. After dodging James's block, he lifted the ball back up and gently sent it to the basket.

The basketball board was refracted into the net, and Yiyang, who had his back to James, was stunned to use a beautiful pull-up rod to make a layup and hit the ball in!

It's just that James, who tried hard to pounce, couldn't contain his body in the air. This led to this strong man with perverted physical fitness, and Yiyang slammed into each other!

This level of collision is naturally commonplace for James. But after Yiyang shot at basketball, the whole person was knocked out. Hitting James was no different from being hit by a pickup truck.

Yiyang's body lost balance in the air and fell heavily to the ground. After landing, the huge inertia also caused Yiyang to slide on the floor, until he hit the soft cushion under the basketball hoop, and finally stopped.

"It's really choked this fall, can he still ......?"

Before Barkley could finish speaking, Yiyang stood up on his own. He rubbed his aching back, then trotted up and headed back for his own half.

Seeing this, Carlisle suddenly became furious. He rushed to the referee and told the opponent that the ball just now should be whistled for a foul!

In fact, Carlisle also knew that the referee would not change his decision. Carlisle did this just to put pressure on the referee and influence his subsequent decision. After all, it is impossible for Yiyang to always sacrifice in vain.

This time, it was the Dallas Mavericks who overtook the score. Yiyang's brave and decisive attack was not even stopped by James. Nearly five minutes into the third quarter, the Heat were not taking the lead, but were cornered by the Mavericks.

James feels like the Mavericks are a tumbler right now, and you can hit them with all your might and knock them to the ground. But soon, the bunch will get back on their feet. And the harder you fight, the faster they can get up!

"Damn guys!" James gritted his teeth, and the superstar had a hint of fear for the Mavericks in his heart.

The game went on for another two minutes, and in the seventh minute of the third quarter, Carlisle replaced Nowitzki with Peja. Marion plays the No. 4 position, while Peja fills the small forward position.

Nowitzki is injured, and Carlisle is right to put him to rest. But in the eyes of the Heat players, this is an opportunity! Taking advantage of Nowitzki's absence, there's nothing better to do that than now!

So after Nowitzki left the court, the Heat players seemed to be excited instantly. They worked hard to defend and hope to get the ball down and then get the lead on the offensive end.

Yiyang passed the ball to Peja, but James naturally wouldn't let this guy get the slightest chance. Although Peja has occasionally performed well in the first few rounds of the series, but now in the finals, Peja seems to have disappeared. There is no other reason than James' defense of Peja too tightly.

There was no space, and there was no way Peja could have played James with the ball on his own. The tall man passed the ball out of his waist and into Marion's hand.

Marion faced Bosh and naturally had an advantage in speed. So this No. 0 forward held the ball and shook a shot, and after seeing Bosh's center of gravity move, he immediately started to attack the basket!

But Marion still underestimated Bosh's ability to chase and defend, Nowitzki can score unscrupulously on Bosh's head, which does not mean that Marion can do the same.

Under Bosh's pressure, Marion couldn't control his body in the air at all, and his layup was knocked out of the frame. James was overjoyed and was about to run to the front court to push the fast attack. But in the next second, he saw the familiar No. 1 defender jumping high. Anthony has a rebound on the head of the center!

"Joe. Anthony failed to protect the defensive rebound, and he should have stuck his position first, not rushed to the jump! also rushed to the rebound, and the Mavericks got a second chance to attack! ”

After taking off the basketball, Yiyang did not force in the overcrowded penalty area. Taking advantage of the chaos, Yiyang passed the ball out. Terry, who came on as a substitute, received the ball and threw it, a big open opportunity, and the "Jet" would not let it go easily.

"Brush!" The basketball went through the net, and James waved his arm unwillingly. Joe. Anthony didn't even dare to look directly into the eyes of the Big Three. If he hadn't grabbed the rebound just now, the Mavericks wouldn't have gotten a second chance to attack. Besides, he actually let a point guard steal the rebound.

"Almighty, you can see him in every corner of the field today. Dirk's performance during the rest of the game will directly determine whether the Heat can pull the score away! ”

What Barkley said, the Heat players know very well. Yiyang is their only obstacle at present, and only by picking Yiyang off the horse will the Heat's crazy counterattack not be blocked.

Wade broke through with the ball and made a stop-and-go jump shot, but was interfered with by Yiyang's defense and missed the shot.

Mike. Bibi made a three-point shot, but was blocked by Yiyang, who jumped high, and was turned away.

Chris. Bosh misplaced Marion and was about to roll over for a jumper. Yiyang suddenly appeared and cut off the basketball in the hands of the "Dragon King".

Yiyang, Yiyang, Yiyang...... In the past few minutes, Barkley's name has been Yiyang the most. Yiyang's hard defense allowed the Heat to experience an embarrassing period of two minutes without scoring. Seeing that Nowitzki was about to return to the court, the Heat was still 3 points behind the Mavericks.

James is a little anxious, the next attack, he has to do it himself!

The Mavericks attacked, Yiyang did not become a lone hero, and now he does not have the strength to compete with a team alone.

Yiyang still passed the ball to Peja, who had excellent passing ability and was a good stopover. How to roll out the tactics after that, Peja can plan in place.

Seeing that Peja was obviously paying attention to his teammates' movements and ignoring himself a little, James suddenly took a step forward, straightened his arm, and slapped the basketball off Peja's hand!

Peja was startled and hurriedly turned around to chase after her, even at the expense of flying directly to the ball. It's a pity that James is still one step faster. He bent down and picked up the basketball before Peja could hold it, and the heavy tank stomped straight for the basket!

"LeBron broke the ball, and he got a fast break! God, this guy's fast attack can't be stopped! ”

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, he saw the figure of another person quickly approaching James from the side. These two "arrows" extend all the way to the front court and seem to converge under the basketball hoop.

It was none other than Yiyang, the fastest in the Mavericks, who was chasing James!

Seeing Yiyang coming from the side, James was not afraid! With that guy, he can't stop himself in the air!

The two men stepped into the three-second zone almost at the same time, and James jumped and raised the basketball with one hand, about to slash towards the basket.

Yiyang "toss" himself into the air from the side, and his bounce height surprised James! Seeing Yiyang approaching him, the "little emperor" subconsciously raised his other hand to hold Yiyang. But inadvertently, James' elbow hit Yiyang in the face.

But even so, Yiyang did not give up. He stretched out his arms and tried to reach the basketball. Yiyang finally touched the ball in James's hand, but James's strength was too great, and Yi** couldn't fan the ball out directly.

Two forces are putting pressure on the basketball, and James has been somewhat unable to control the direction of the ball. In this way, the basketball was smashed to the basket under the pressure of the two. But this huge interference made James dunk the ball!

"What!?" Barkley stood up with his mouth wide open, just as surprised as he was, and all the Heat fans in the stands.

After the basketball dunked away, Yiyang, who was elbowed by James in the air, lost his center of gravity and fell in embarrassment. James landed smoothly and hurriedly turned around to grab the ball that was dunked.

He jumped up and grabbed the basketball that was dunked and immediately shot, only to find that Yiyang appeared in front of him again. No one knows when Yiyang got up and threw himself in front of James, and the hardwood floor of the American Airlines Arena seemed to be a soft cushion, and Yiyang fell on it without any pain at all. However, this is not the case, Yiyang has now fallen bruises in many parts of his body, and it is the obsession and desire for victory that makes Yiyang get up again and again after falling.

Looking at Yiyang's face, James was shocked, which also affected his shooting rhythm, and the basketball was bounced off the basket again.

This time, Tyson. Chandler arrived and finally protected the rebound.

"Give me the ball!" Yiyang hurriedly ran to the frontcourt, the Heat's defense had not yet been formed, and this was a good opportunity to counterattack.

Chandler, however, froze in place. He didn't pass the ball and didn't do anything else.

"Tyson, ball!" Yiyang shouted again, and this time he found that it was not only Chandler who was stunned, but also Peja, Marion, and Terry.

"What are you doing!?" Yiyang said, as if a sweat dripped on his head onto the wooden floor. However, Yiyang found out that there was something wrong with this "sweat"!

How can this "sweat" dripping on the wooden floor be red?

Yiyang lowered his head and looked at it carefully. At this time, several drops of blood also lay down. Yiyang wiped his head with his hand and found that his hand was blood-red.

Only then did he know that his head had been broken by James's elbow just now. No wonder, James looked at his expression a little wrong just now. After Yiyang got up from the ground, he was fighting with blood.

"Pause, pause. Go up, go up! After that, Yiyang heard Carlisle shouting anxiously. Not only did he call a timeout, but he was also urging the team doctor.

Yiyang felt that the place where he was elbowed by James just now was really painful........
