Chapter Seventy-One: Chasing Points in Vain
The Mavericks tee the ball and Barria shakes Eddie away at the top of the arc. House, hit a three-pointer, and the margin returned to seven points. Next, the two sides exchanged three points and hit the iron to no avail. Just when the two sides were "playing hot", Wade dribbled at the top of the arc and wanted to borrow Haslem to cover and kill the inside, but Terry was wrapped around behind him and stealed, and Terry was fouled and interfered with by Haslem's quick layup. Terry hit one of two free throws, and the Heat finally replaced LeBron!
Before LeBron could play a role, the Mavericks' Terry hit another pull-up jumper to hit a two-point jumper to stretch the margin to 10 points. There are nearly 9 minutes left in the game, and there should still be chasing! Hoggist wanted to console himself in this way, but in retrospect, Wade dribbled the ball to his feet and rolled out of the touchline in the attack.
"How can such a fatal low-level mistake occur at a critical moment!" Hougist screamed.
Fortunately, the Mavericks also failed to take advantage of this opportunity to pick up for nothing, Nowitzki's strong shot at the top of the arc was short, the Heat collected the rebound and quickly counterattacked, and James hit Terry with his back under the basket. "This ball is here!" Hogist shouted.
But what is surprising is that LeBron threw a shot under the basket and crossed the bridge, and he didn't even touch the basket! Ravan laughed, and Haugist angrily threw the empty can at Laven.
The rebound fell steadily on the German chariotist, Dirk passed the ball to Barria, Barria came to the front court with a unique ride, found himself in a 1-on-5 state, and suddenly returned to the top of the arc, Nowitzki set up a cover for Barria at the top of the arc, and Haslem who defended Dirk made a serious mistake in the selection of position, he and Chalmers who defended Barria stood on one side, and both were blocked by Dirk at the same time, Barria got an easy shot around Dirk into the inside, Barria made a pick-and-roll, and the ball tossed a few times on the basket, In the end, it fell into the net, and the difference has been stretched to 12 points!
Spoelstra called a timeout again, and with eight minutes left, the Heat still had a chance to turn the game around. The atmosphere on the Mavericks' bench was already jubilant, and they had already touched the O'Brien Cup with one hand, and they would never have given it up again. Especially Dirk and Terry, who swallowed the bitterness of losing to the Heat in the '06 Finals, they can't let go of this opportunity for revenge.
After the timeout, the Heat's offense still didn't improve, Wade hit a three-point iron, but fortunately, Barria was still reciprocating, he once again forced the inside to pick the basket, this time the ball was like a long time on the basket, fortunately this time it was not upside down. Bosh struggled to protect the rebound.
Bosh gave the ball to Chalmers, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt, pushed Barria to the inside at the top of the arc, and flipped Barria in the low post to hit a layup while the whistle sounded.
"This ball hits people with the ball! It's so obvious! Ravan shouted.
However, the Heat's score on TV changed from 77 to 79. "What's the situation? Why do you give extra points? Ravan was puzzled.
It wasn't until Chalmers stood on the free throw line that LaVine reacted, and the referee actually blew Barria for blocking a foul? "This home whistle is too obvious, isn't it? Does the referee still want to force suspense? ”
Chalmers hit a solid free throw and the margin returned to single digits. Barria dribbled through the half court and gave it to Nowitzki, who was worthy of being the backbone of the team, giving full play to the ability to set the sea god needle, and steadily hit a mid-range shot, allowing the point difference to return to double digits.
The Heat handed the ball to LeBron, he forced the inside, but hesitated after receiving the ball, did not shoot but gave the ball to Bosh under the basket, because this point was improvised, James did not control the strength, Bosh almost got rid of the ball. By the time Bosh got the ball and went to the basket, the Mavericks' defense was already in place, and James tried his best to grab the rebound in the front court, and turned his back to Tyson under the basket. Chandler forced a layup, and the ball hovered in front of the basket for two or three seconds before finally falling into the basket.
"LeBron, you should have played like this a long time ago!" Horgist's hands clenched tightly.
Terry broke through to make fouls and scored 1 point in 1 of 2 free throws, and the Heat continued to hand the ball to James, who decided to have less routines and more sincerity, and shot directly, and the ball hit steadily, and the difference was chased to 8 points.
The Heat temporarily suppressed the Mavericks' offense on the defensive end, Barria hit a three-point iron, the rebound was dialed to the outside, Barria grabbed the rebound before Chalmers, Barria gave the ball to Nowitzki on the inside, Nowitzki hit Haslem with his back, and easily squeezed into the interior to score a layup. James gave it his all, and Nowitzki was not to be outdone.
The Heat attacked from the wing with Wade, and Wade stepped through for a layup, but the ball didn't hold steady and fell into the paint. Bosh was quick-eyed, bent down to pick up the ball and scored a layup, which also caused Chandler to foul. Bosh hit a safe free throw, while Chandler had already committed five fouls.
The point difference was close to 7 points, the Heat defended tightly, Dirk was caught on the wing, and the hasty pass was intercepted by Chalmers at the top of the arc, Chalmers dribbled quickly, and the front court played one and two, Kidd was defending Chalmers in the front, and Terry was also ready to make up for it behind him. "The fast break has missed the opportunity, this ball should wait for everyone to come together, and the position should be handed over to the Big Three to play well." Hougist analyzed.
But who knew that the honey from Chalmers was confident, and he actually forced a layup against Kidd, and sure enough, he was blocked by Kidd, and the referee didn't say anything, this was a beautiful block. Chalmers was unwilling to foul Kidd from behind.
"Oh my X stupid X Chalmers, you XXXXX is sick! What a great opportunity to chase points! Not only did it not work, but it also paid a foul! Hougist excitedly scolded at the TV.
Ravan was startled by Hoggist's scolding, and Ravan was surprised and said, "Boss, I didn't expect you to swear too!" ”
"When encountering such idiotic behavior as Chalmers, I'm afraid Jesus will come out and curse!" Hougist replied angrily.
Heat head coach Spoelstra called a timeout with a wry smile, the difference could have been close to within 5 points, but unfortunately Chalmers buried such a key opportunity!
After the timeout, the Mavericks possessed the ball, Kidd broke through to the layup and was fouled by Chalmers from behind, Hoggist was furious when he saw this scene, stood up and continued to scold: "Chalmers is stupid X, right?" The inside line can obviously block this layup, why does he have to foul from behind! ”
Fortunately, Kidd only hit 1 of 2 free throws, but the Heat's next offense began to go smoothly again, LeBron broke through and staggered to distribute the ball, and he couldn't stop the car and rushed to the baseline. However, no one could control the ball with his pass, and the ball flew towards him again. LeBron tried to give the ball to his teammates before he went out of bounds, but the referee ruled that James stepped on the line and touched the ball, and the Heat made another mistake.
"Why do you make such a mistake at a critical moment! You don't have the capital to make mistakes! Hougist looked helplessly at LeBron on the screen.
The Mavericks attack, the Heat have no way out, this ball must be defended! Kidd dribbled at the top of the arc, the Heat followed their defenders, the Mavericks' running tactics didn't work, and no one got a shot! The offensive time was running out, and Kidd had to force a three-point shot at the top of the arc against the defender!
The ball came out of the basket, but the rebound was snatched by Chandler again, although he had five fouls on his back, he still dared to fight when he was locked in! And the Heat are too short on the floor at the moment, Bosh is only 6 feet 11 inches, Haslem is not even as tall as LeBron, and the two of them have no advantage in front of Chandler, who is 7 feet 1 inch tall.
Chandler passed the ball to Marion on the wing, Marion gave the ball to Nowitzki who was empty at the top of the arc, Nowitzki took the ball and wanted to shoot, but after a little hesitation, the defender was already in place, Nowitzki still gave the ball back to Terry near the halfway line, and Terry began to dribble to press the time.
Nowitzki mentioned that Terry was covered from outside the three-point line, and it was Haslem again, and the defensive position was just as bad as last time, and Terry used Nowitzki's cover to easily get inside from the middle again. Nowitzki managed to block two more people!
"Haslem is too bad!" With Hougist's screams, Terry struck a toss with his arm undisturbed in the paint. Unfortunately, Terry couldn't take advantage of the easyball opportunity this time, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
"It's okay...... it's okay," Haugist's voice didn't fall, and the rebound was pointed out by Chandler again, "I'm XXXXXXXXXXXX!" ”
Hogist has completely exploded, how can the problem of anti-blocking and dismantling not be solved after so many pauses? The inside line is too short to protect the rebound. Fortunately, Haslem made up for the ball on the outside and gave the ball to Wade, Wade dribbled over the half court, and the Heat kept passing the ball, but no one had the courage to shoot, and the pressure was too great at the critical moment. In the end, Chalmers burst inside and distributed the ball to Haslem under the basket, but was stealed by Nowitzki!
"Why are they again! This time, it's time to join forces with the cheat! Hoggist was speechless for the two men.
The Mavericks counterattacked to the frontcourt, and after a few conductions, the ball returned to Nowitzki's hands, Nowitzki broke through to the inside line against Bosh, and suddenly made a sudden stop, stepped back and jumped to shoot, the ball arc was very flat, and it could be seen that Owitzki had no strength, but the ball still slid steadily into the basket. The margin is back in double digits again.
"Alas, there would have been a chance to chase within 5 points! This pair of 'pit daddy' brothers buried the heat with their own hands! Hougist shook his head and sighed.
"Don't be in a hurry to shake the pot! Didn't LeBron also make an out-of-bounds mistake just now! LaVine complained about Chalmers and Haslem.
In the TV screen, Wade scored two points on a fast break, but there were only three and a half minutes left in the game, the Mavericks slowly passed the half, Nowitzki set up a cover for Kidd at the top of the arc, but this time the Heat's defense was overkill, both defenders went to save Kidd, Nowitzki was let go, Nowitzki went down, Kidd hit the ball to Nowitzki from the gap between the two defenders, and Noritzki made the famous stunt Golden Rooster independent backward jumper in the open field of the mid-range unguarded, And then the perfect iron.
However, without thinking about it, the rebound was dialed out by Chandler again, and Chalmers dialed the ball to James, but James didn't catch the ball out of bounds, and it was still the Mavericks who had the ball. The Mavericks continued to press the time, and at the end of the time, Terry made a strong three-point shot on the wing, but the Heat shrunk the basket too small, and the three-pointer that could not be headed smashed into the front of the basket and bounced far away and landed in Marion's hands. It was still the Mavericks' possession of the ball, Kidd pressed time near the center circle, and then passed the ball to Nowitzki in the left elbow area, Noutianwang held the ball and singled, arched near the bottom corner, encountered Bosh and Haslem double pack, the German tank once again used the Golden Rooster independent back to force a shot, or a flat arc slid into the basket, the Mavericks led again to 10 points, and there were two and a half minutes left in the game.
"Two and a half minutes, 10 minutes, the Heat has no skills, even if it is 35 seconds and 13 minutes Tracy. It's useless when McGrady comes! "Hoggist was in utter despair.
At this time, the Heat replaced Haslem and replaced Eddie. House, now that all five of the Heat have three-point ability, it seems that this is Spoelstra's last ditch effort to chase points. House got a shot in the first round, but missed a three-point attempt, and Terry, who was still defending him, forced a step-back jumper near the free throw line. With 1 minute and 56 seconds left and 12 points behind, the Miami fans felt like their throats were pinched and couldn't make a sound.
The Heat's offense was simple and sincere, and it took only five seconds for James to hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc. The Mavericks continued to press the time, passing the ball slowly, and with one and a half minutes left in the game, Chalmers steals Nowitzki! James fast-break and Kidd make a strong three-point shot!
"Success or failure is here!" Hougist stood up and raised his arms high.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, LeBron's three-point shot was a fine iron, and Nowitzki picked up the rebound steadily. Noble gave the ball to Kidd, who dribbled the ball past half court, pressed the time to the limit, hit House with his back to the basket, and the ball was out of his hand when he turned! Kidd pounced on the floor for the ball, but pulled it off the touchline. The Heat have only 59 seconds left on the clock.
Ravan had already turned on the Coke in advance, shaking the Coke frantically, and then pulling the pull tab, the Coke almost sprayed to the ceiling.
The Heat players haven't given up yet, the camera is given to everyone, and there is unwillingness written in their eyes, Wade grabbed a three-point shot again, but still missed, the Mavericks received the rebound, Terry dribbled over half the court, the Heat team was still pressing the whole court, Terry was caught by Bosh and Chalmers in front of the halfway, but Terry still walked through the halfcourt, and Kid Nowitzki passed the ball three times to consume time, Kidd broke through and turned around, and distributed the ball to Dirk who cut the air, Dirk scored an easy layup. At 103:92, with 30 seconds left in the game, Dirk kills the game!
