Chapter 115: Armageddon
Seeing Ye Xuan hit shots in two consecutive rounds and narrowed the difference to only single digits in one fell swoop, Spoelstra immediately felt that something was wrong, so he immediately called a timeout, and then replaced James, who had only rested for 3 minutes, on the court again. Along with James was defensive specialist Battier.
After the timeout, the Heat served the ball on the sideline, and Bosh handed the ball directly to James, who received the ball and came to Solomon Hill and gestured to his teammates, signaling everyone to pull away. After that, James took a step back to open up a bit of space and broke through directly with the ball, using his body to lean on Hill's body to force a road, and finally was pulled down by Solomon Hill when he shot, sending him to the free throw line.
After James came to the free throw line, he threw the first shot after a while, and then high-fived his teammates one by one, and then walked back to the free throw line for the second free throw, but the second free throw did not fall directly into the basket as he wanted, but because James used too much force, it bounced directly on the back edge of the basket.
Masimmy stuck his position and jumped high to protect the backcourt rebound, and then handed the ball to Hill, Hill quickly pushed forward to catch the opponent off guard, but the opponent's retreat speed was indeed fast, Hill had no choice but to control the ball, but he swept his eyes and saw that a yellow figure had run to the bottom corner of the opponent's left side, and Hill didn't think about throwing the ball directly away.
The basketball was just right and directly stuffed into Ye Xuan's hands, it turned out that it was because Ye Xuan didn't have to grab the rebound, he waited in the middle line at the beginning, and then waited until his teammates grabbed the rebound, Ye Xuan pretended to step forward to meet his teammates, and then a reverse run directly threw off Wade, who wanted to follow him closely, and after receiving the pass, Ye Xuan easily jumped and scored 3 points again.
In the blink of an eye, what was experienced in the third quarter was repeated again, but this time it became the Pacers who were catching up, and the 10-point difference was only 3 points left in the blink of an eye, and in the next round, although the Heat team played tactics, because the real giant shot iron in the empty position at the top of the arc, it still failed to delay the momentum of Ye Xuan and others chasing points.
After the Pacers grabbed the rebound by Scola, they all went down directly, and when the ball was handed over to Ye Xuan, there was a 4-3 situation in the game, and only James Wade and Ray Allen quickly retreated in the Heat team, while Battier and Bosh somehow fell behind.
Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to quickly transmit the ball directly, and found Solomon Hill, who was unmarked in the bottom corner of the left side, Hill was about to throw, and Ray Allen on the side hurried over to make up for the defense, but he didn't expect that the opponent just faked the real pass, and pressed down on his wrist to pass the ball directly to the missed Luis Scola, after receiving the ball, Scola was already empty in front of him, and after easily dribbling two steps, he smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
However, the Heat immediately played a perfect match between James and Wade after the pick-and-roll, and then took the opportunity to empty the Pacers' interior line, allowing Bosh to seize the opportunity to receive James' pass to complete an aerial relay, thus stabilizing the situation.
Ye Xuan doesn't care if you can score goals now, no one can score goals better than me anyway. After coming to the front court again, Ye Xuan directly asked Hill for the ball, and then asked another Hill to come forward to help make a cover, using this cover Ye Xuan to take a step back and directly open the distance between him and Wade, and then make a decisive three-point shot, and hit it.
Ye Xuan, who calmed down, was really terrible, compared with his continuous mistakes and missed shots in the third quarter, the current Ye Xuan was simply terrible, and he directly erased the opponent's 10-point lead in less than 3 minutes. And the Heat had to call another timeout to plan the next game.
On the Pacers bench, Pickle Pepper and others came up to high-five Ye Xuan to celebrate, and then Coach Frank praised Ye Xuan, and then made some personnel changes, and now it is time for the big battle, but because the two Hills have been on the court for more than 10 minutes in a row, the physical exertion is very huge, so Coach Frank did not send George Hill, but let Ye Xuan serve as a point guard, so that the lineup returned to the main lineup in the first two games.
After returning to the court, the Heat team is no longer as impatient as before, and under the organization of James, the Heat team also played the tactics they wanted to play, and they were able to win two rounds in a row. However, the Pacers also scored back-to-back balls in the first few rounds after Pickle Pepper returned.
With four minutes remaining, the two teams were tied 83-83, but the Pacers had the ball.
After Ye Xuan received the serve from the backcourt, he slowly brought the ball to the front court, and then after making a gesture to his teammates, he began to prepare for his own singles, facing Wade, Ye Xuan directly changed direction in front of his body and handed the ball to his left hand, and then stepped back to outside the three-point line, and Wade hurriedly chased after him.
After Ye Xuan took a step, he then made a gesture of worshiping the Buddha, Wade thought that Ye Xuan was a three-point jumper again, so he quickly jumped up and blocked, but Ye Xuan lightly wiped it to the side, directly dodged Wade's block, and then shot a three-point shot again outside the three-point line.
Looking back, James also used the breakthrough point to find Wade at the top of the arc, although Wade's three-point shooting rate was not particularly stable, but this time he still confidently pulled out his hand directly, and the basketball fell into the net.
However, Ye Xuan was not affected by the fact that his own leakage caused the opponent to shoot three points, but because Wade's shot saw a hint of clues, Wade's previous shot arc should be higher than this ball, but this time the shot was flat, which shows that the opponent's physical strength is not particularly enough.
So after Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court, he continued to choose to hold the ball and play the opponent alone, and after two consecutive body front changes, Ye Xuan successfully shook Wade away, and after entering the inside line, a quick stop and back-to-back jumper scored two points again before Bosh's supplementary defense was in place.
The Heat also discovered Ye Xuan's careful thinking, so Spoelstra, who was off the court, immediately arranged for Wade to defend Lance, the No. 3 player with the ball and not strong offensive ability. But first, the Heat need to finish off their current offense.
James came to the frontcourt, once again used his teammates' cover to get rid of Lance's defense, and then hit a mounted archery-style jumper near the free throw line.
