Chapter 169: Lost Hope
The atmosphere in the stadium became more and more intense, and Cleveland fans could no longer sit in their seats at ease, and they all stood up and cheered desperately for the home team.
Basketball came to Dwyanne through conduction. In Wade's hands, 'The Flash' leans on Iman. Shambaught cut inside, his strong body and long reach giving him good protection. Instead of rushing to challenge Mozgov's basket, Wade squeezed Shambaugh to the edge of the paint and handed the basketball from his crotch to his right hand with the ball.
Shambaugh, who had been squeezed, couldn't keep up with the opponent's change of direction at the first time, and watched Wade throw himself out of position by moving sideways and jumping, jumping up and flicking the ball out with his right hand.
"Won't go in! Won't enter!! The fans at the quick loan center looked at the ball flying towards the basket and roared as if they were praying to God.
"!!Shh The waves of the Nets instantly made the atmosphere in the court like an ice cellar, and only the Heat bench rang out with enthusiastic cheers and applause.
“de!!! Once again, the Miami Native leader has tipped the scales of victory!! While he's accomplished such feats time and time again in his career, every time I watch it, I sigh at his killer instincts!! "Charles. Barkley vividly showed what it meant to 'shoot the case', and shouted loudly at the top of his voice. Miller and Kenny. At one point, Smith suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
With Dwyan's mid-range shot, the Heat once again led the Cleveland by two points, and with less than 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the Cavaliers were once again pushed to the edge of a cliff. Kenny. Smith explained the situation, "You're right, Reggie, it's true that this game won't be decided until the end. ”
Reggie. Miller smiled, not responding to anything. He's just staring at what's going on on the field, and we have reason to believe that Reggie. Miller is one of the retired veterans at TNT who misses the time he fought the field the most. Because even Charles. Barkley and others have become more and more slick and flexible in their interpersonal interactions. Miller still retains the same unruly and straightforward sharpness as before.
It is precisely because of his nostalgia for the beginning that he pays more attention to everything that happens on the field than everyone else, and is unwilling to let go of every detail.
"Keep an eye on your opponents! If they're thrown out of the way, I need you to switch positions right away! Spoelstra's face flushed slightly with excitement, and his strong desire to win prompted him to say quickly, "Try to spread your defense, spread out!" They must not be allowed to shoot three-pointers, you know?! ”
Spoelstra knew they would definitely fill their last offensive round of the game, and if they hit a mid-range shot, it wouldn't be a bad thing to go into overtime. The Heat have All-Star Weekend coming up after this game, and the Cavaliers have back-to-back games to face tomorrow, and they're much more reluctant to play overtime than the Heat.
And if the opponent hits a three-pointer to take the lead, the Miami will not have more than two seconds left, which is what Spoelstra fears the most. Although the Heat's main lineup has no shortage of game-deciding candidates, no one wants to face a situation where they need to chase points in a hurry if they have the chance, do they?
Addison drank the Gatorade from his cup and glanced at the Cavaliers' bench, which was tightly surrounded by players, and barely saw David. Blatter's Shadow. The Chinese rookie raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and after a little calculation in his mind, his face returned to an indifferent and calm look.
The Cavaliers' uniform team seemed to want to make the most of the timeout until the referee came over and urged David to do so. Blatter brought the players back on the field.
"Let me see, the last 27 seconds......" Barkley said in a pretentious tone, "which team is there and which player can put on a screaming performance?" ”
***
In the last offensive round, the ball was in LeBron's hands. In James' hands. That's Carey. Irving has no objection that no matter who comes to the end of the game, LBJ will first take control of the team's offense. After all, James is a forward whose playmaking ability can rival that of a point guard. Owen is self-foiled.
Ruhr. Deng stared at every move of his opponent in front of the three-point line, although there has been criticism of LBJ's lethality at key moments, and even official media such as FOX and Sports Illustrated have criticized LBJ's decision-making ability in this regard, but in fact, James's scoring ability in the final moments is still very impressive. Especially after mastering mid-to-long-range shooting and back-to-back skills over the years, James has become more difficult to defend.
But perhaps the Cavaliers' leader will pass the ball to the shooters who are ambushed in the open space, such as J.R. Smith and Kyrie. Owen and Kevin. Lefu is able to accomplish such a task.
James, who dribbled at the top of the arc, wasted the time until the last ten seconds, glancing at Kyrie, who was being followed closely by Addison. Owen decisively decided to attack on his own. At this time, LBJ didn't have the heart to talk to Ruhl. Deng played some feints or back-to-back singles or the like, directly mobilizing the strength of his whole body, and hitting the inner line like an armored tank to the left!
Ruhr. Deng was also prepared for this, and he took a step back in advance to give himself a buffer space. As James rushed over, the Briton also used all his strength to stick to it from the side, and after a heavy muffled sound, Ruhr. Deng is clearly at a disadvantage. Even with the resistance, James kept pushing inside. Deng could only continue to dwell on the interference, but he could not stop the impact of LBJ's puff up.
Whiteside was ready to make a move, first with his excellent mobility to jam Mozgov behind him, his eyes fixed on James as he rushed inside.
Naturally, LBJ also observed the reaction of the Heat center, who suddenly made a neat little move as he was about to enter the paint field sideways. James, who has always been accustomed to breaking on the same side, gently slapped the basketball from under the crotch, and his right hand followed the trend, quickly changing direction towards Ruhr. Deng instantly exposed a small dislocation!
At this time, Whiteside under the basket made a decisive pounce, and the explosiveness of the young center's movement in the short distance was beyond LBJ's expectations, and before James could adjust the angle of his shot or the route to Mozgov, he was already in front of LBJ, and his 7-foot tall body blocked the opponent's view.
At the same time Ruhr. Deng also interfered from the side again, seeing that James was about to fall into a successful bag......
At that moment, J.R. Smith, who had been moving along the three-point line, unexpectedly used his elbow to push Dwyane Wade, who was clinging to him, to push the surprised 'Flash' away slightly, and then ran quickly around the top of the arc to the other side.
LeBron taking a step back with the ball. James was keenly aware of his teammate's movements, and he quickly half-turned to pass the basketball in his hand.
"Be careful—" As soon as the basketball broke away from James's grasp, he heard the shouts of an unknown person, and the crisis in his heart suddenly spread all over his body.
"Smack!! A clear sound that almost made the Cavaliers fans fall into despair, only to see a wide and slender yellow palm poking over like lightning from the side, and pointed James out of the fingertips just now!
LBJ can't imagine when or from what direction this stealing arm came in?!
JR. Smith ran to the side where Addison was, and the Chinese point guard rushed out like a wolf smelling blood the moment James half-turned! And that "careful" is none other than Carey who witnessed the whole process. Owen shouted helplessly!
The basketball that flew out of the point was just taken by Ruhr. Deng grabbed it in his hand, and the Englishman's arms swiped exaggeratedly in a circle, and the swing of his elbow made all the players around him who wanted to rush over and intercept take a step back! Then the British handed the ball to Addison, who ran to catch it, and the Chinese rookie didn't stop after receiving the ball, and threw the basketball captain to the front court with his right hand!
Dwyan. Wade had already rushed to the empty Cavaliers halfcourt, took the pass and strode into the opponent's penalty area, raising his right hand high to dunk the basketball into the basket!
Back when the basketball was cut off, David. Blatter closed his eyes helplessly, he knew that the Cavaliers could only lose this game.
Addison's steal ruined Cleveland's last-minute hopes......
