Chapter 117: Killing !?
The breath of the audience froze, everyone stared at the basketball thrown by Ray Allen, only to see the basketball cross a rainbow bridge-like arc, and then go straight into the net, the Heat team suddenly cheered, and the audience began to cheer and celebrate. The Pacers had a dead face.
However, Ye Xuan was still very calm, first signaled his teammates not to worry, and then found the referee to question the time and place of the opponent's last shot. The referee did not dare to slack off, and went directly to the technical desk to start checking the video.
Seeing this, the players of the Heat team also stopped celebrating, watching the referee's actions with a confused expression, and the audience at the scene also stopped cheering, and then stared nervously at the big screen overhead, hoping that the final result would be beneficial to their side.
I only saw that in the replay, Ray Allen's shot was indeed completed before the red light came on, but before the Heat lieutenant general could breathe a sigh of relief, another replay also made the Pacers generals breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Ray Allen didn't have time to adjust his position after receiving the ball, so he didn't pay attention to where his feet were, but the replay clearly recorded the situation at that time, only to see that Ray Allen's right foot had come to the three-point line, but his left foot still had half of his foot within the three-point line, so the last 'lore' was just a two-point shot to equalize the score, so the two teams still needed a 5-minute overtime to decide the winner.
Compared to the Pacers' breath of relief, the Heat's side fell back from heaven, but it was also good news for neutral fans, who were able to watch five more minutes of overtime.
The two-point tie is already a given, so the Heat have calmed down and are ready for the next overtime.
After a minute, the two teams regained their footing on the field and began to jump the ball again.
The real giant used his bounce to successfully shoot the basketball again, James received the basketball and slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the Heat players all pulled away, ready to let James single. James looked at Lance in front of him calmly controlling the basketball, and Lance did not go to the entangled defense, but let the opponent take a step.
With the ball in his left hand, James stepped back and pulled away, but instead of following up, Lance lowered his center of gravity to defend his opponent's breakaway, knowing that James' pull-up threes were far less threatening than his ball-handling breakaways.
James saw that the opponent did not step forward to follow the defense, so he simply made a sudden shot directly outside the three-point line, Lance did not react in a hurry for a while, and did not step forward to interfere with the opponent's shooting, but James has gone through the consumption of 42 minutes of regular time, and his physical strength is not enough now, so even the action of the shot has been somewhat deformed.
Just when Ye Xuan saw James's shot, he knew that the ball would not go in, so regardless of whether his teammates could really grab the rebound, Ye Xuan directly began to run to the frontcourt, and James's shot really hit the iron, David West under the basket successfully grabbed the rebound, and then threw the ball to the front court with a long throw without any consideration.
Ye Xuan had already rushed over the half-court at this time, and when he looked up and saw that the basketball had been thrown towards him by West's long throw, Ye Xuan hurriedly grabbed this powerful long pass in two steps, and then easily took three steps to dunk the basketball into the basket.
The Heat served from the baseline again, and after James controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he still called his teammates to help block and dismantle, because he found that his long-range shot was definitely not enough to threaten the opponent. After the pick-and-roll, James used Bosh to cover Lance's chase and then shot again near the free-throw line, this time with a shot that made it back to the same line.
The Pacers chose to hand over the ball to Ye Xuan to deal with, because in the starting 5-man group, only Ye Xuan's physical strength is relatively abundant now, after Ye Xuan held the ball, he also decisively chose to play alone, facing Wade, Ye Xuan used two consecutive changes of direction to directly shake off the opponent, and then entered the penalty area and forced a foul caused Bosh.
Coming to the free throw line, Ye Xuan calmly threw the two free throws into the basket.
Then the Heat used James and Bosh to tear apart the Pacers' defense again, James took the opportunity to get rid of Lance's defense, and passed the ball back to the high post Bosh, Bosh faced the defense of Lance after the switch, and directly pulled it up and shot, and the basketball smashed on the rebound and rebounded into the basket.
In the next two rounds, the Pacers' offense ended with Ye Xuan's shot after breaking through, and the Heat's offense also stagnated, two consecutive hits of iron, not only consumed nearly two minutes of overtime, but also the score was not at all.
With 1:25 left in overtime, the Pacers made a personnel change, replacing David West with a physically energetic George Hill. The Heat, on the other hand, are still the Big Three, along with Ray Allen and Battier.
After Hill came on the court, he immediately played his role with full physical strength, and after handing the ball to Ye Xuan, he began to run without the ball, Ray Allen had to be attracted by Hill to run around, but the physical Hill, which is 38 years old and has played for more than 30 minutes, can chase and defend, after easily running out of the vacant position, Ye Xuan's pass also rushed to the horse, Hill received the ball and calmly shot, and steadily shot a long-distance two-pointer.
But in retrospect, Wade also took advantage of Ray Allen's cover when he was off the ball to run out of gap, and then received a pass from James to score the ball. The scores of the two teams remained on the same starting line, and the score was tied at 100:100.
The Pacers continued to attack, Ye Xuan still held the ball at the top of the arc to direct his teammates to run, and Hill also started his own marathon performance, only to see the other 8 players standing in their positions, while Hill's side ran wildly, and Ray Allen chased behind. However, this time Ray Allen's pursuit defense was still in place, and Ye Xuan didn't find any good opportunities to pass the ball to him, so he simply forced himself to break through two steps inward and then stopped his shot, but unfortunately the shot was iron.
Seeing that there were a little more than 33 seconds of offensive time left on the timer, the Heat quickly called a timeout to arrange the tactics, and after the timeout came back, James slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then looked up at the countdown of time on the timer, ready to run out of offensive time and then shoot.
"10...9...8..."With 7 seconds left in the offensive time, James suddenly activated, and the sudden burst of impact directly knocked Lance away a little, and then hit this fatal shot steadily near the free throw line. After throwing the basketball in, James was relieved, clenched his hands and raised them high, looking like he was dominating the world.
