Chapter 380: Lore?
The NBA's definition of a moment of truth is when the difference between the two sides is no more than five points in the last five minutes before the end of the game. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But for the Heat as a team, this definition of the league is still not "critical" enough, and now they are really at a very critical point in time. It's not an impossible task to chase six points in one minute, after all, with Reggie Miller's 8.9.8 seconds and Maddy's 35.13 seconds in front of them, the Heat still have hope of winning. However, it depends on whether there are stars who can withstand the pressure and step up to help the team score.
This task naturally falls to James, although Wade is the veteran of the Heat, but James has been the leader of the team this season, and it is right to put the ball in his hands at the most critical time, and Spoelstra can rest assured.
One minute on the basketball court is not long, but it is not short, and it is enough for both sides to do a lot of things. In Spoelstra's view, the team doesn't need to grab the three points now, and the most important thing is to ensure the success rate of the steady play, in fact, he also arranged it at the timeout, allowing James to break through with the ball or fall to the low post with his back to single, as close as possible to the basket to score. Of course, if a teammate on the perimeter is in a gap, it is only natural to pass the ball out.
At this time, you can see how strong James's physical fitness is, when most of the players are a little out of breath, although he is also sweating profusely, but his steps are still steady and fast, compared to the beginning of the game does not seem to drop much, which makes Spoelstra a little more confident.
James held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and after calling for a block, the Trail Blazers chose to switch defenses, and the defender standing in front of James changed from Ye Feng to Aldridge. In the previous game, James thought that he had seen Aldridge clearly, this is a soft egg who does not dare to fight physically, so he did not hesitate to turn sideways and directly hit Aldridge with his back in the elbow area, hoping to crush it step by step into the three-second zone.
But Aldridge knew that no link could be missed at this time, and in the face of James's strong back-to-back singles, he gritted his teeth, tensed his muscles, held his breath, and mustered up the courage to bump into it. I have to say that James's muscle strength is still very strong, Aldridge once again experienced the interaction of forces, this collision hurt so much that he himself bared his teeth there, and his chest was stuffy for a while, and he felt a little out of breath.
However, the key problem is that he still carried James's first back-to-back single after all, so that the opponent had to stop in place!
James was surprised, and even shocked, he didn't expect Aldridge, who had always been soft, to burst out with such great courage at this time, and collided with him stiffly, although it didn't seem to be a light hit, but he completed his task perfectly, and Ye Feng had already bypassed Haslem and rushed over.
Seeing that he was about to fall into the disadvantageous situation of wrapping and sandwiching, James no longer hesitated, and his hesitation would only make people make dumplings. At this time, he obviously believed in his own ability more, and before Ye Feng was in place, he leaned Aldridge again, turned around on the spot with his strength, and hit a backward jumper.
Looking at the basketball hollow into the frame, Aldridge's face showed an unwilling look, Ye Feng patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "It's okay, we have already done our best just now, and losing points can only say that James is too strong, just return them with a goal later." ”
However, Ye Feng's goal was not achieved, Miller's pass to Aldridge was seen through the passing route by Wade, who was watching from the side, and suddenly rushed over to steal the ball directly in the middle, and after a long pass across the court, Janway successfully connected again, James counterattacked and dunked to score, and the Trail Blazers' advantage was only 2 points.
For a while, the Heat's chances of a comeback win increased dramatically, and they only needed to block the Trail Blazers' next offense and hit a three-pointer to end the game. And they did the same, under Spoelstra's command, the Heat began to press the whole court when the Trail Blazers kicked off, hoping to steal the ball directly from the opponent's hand, and then directly tie or overtake the score.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers usually practice a lot of passing, and the team has a good sense of teamwork, after the Heat began to press all over the court, Matthews stayed in his own half, and Miller and Camby came to the three-point line of the opposing half. After Aldridge passed the ball to Ye Feng, he immediately went to his side's three-point line to respond, and the Trail Blazers cracked the Heat's full-court package with two or three passes, and the Heat players had to quickly retreat to their defensive positions.
The two rounds of the Heat just now only used up 23 seconds, which means that there are still 37 seconds left, Ye Feng glanced at the timer while slowly dribbling the ball at the top of the arc, ready to press the time to use up the 24 seconds. James was a little anxious, he stepped forward and clinged to Ye Feng tightly, preventing him from breaking through and shooting, and if he continued to hold the ball, he might even be stealed. In desperation, Ye Feng chose to pass the ball, and the basketball was given to Matthews in the bottom corner.
Looking at Wade, who flew over, Matthews was a little nervous, and subconsciously jumped on the spot and hurriedly shot. McMillan clapped his hands on the sidelines in frustration, Matthews' choice was too reckless, there were still more than ten seconds left in this round, there was no need to be in such a hurry.
Matthews is not like Ye Feng, Ye Feng has always felt good with such a ball, but Matthews has not practiced fast shooting, this time the shot unsurprisingly hit the iron directly, after a period of entanglement under the basket, Haslem grabbed the rebound, and the Cavaliers got a nearly complete offensive round.
This time he was not in a hurry to attack, and he was outside the three-point line on the wing while dribbling the ball while directing his teammates to run, and now he is no longer satisfied with a two-point drag into overtime, he hopes to hit a three-pointer to end the game.
The clock ticked by, and with 8 seconds left, James made a look, Bosh quietly moved outside the three-point line, and James himself broke through with the ball. His breakthrough undoubtedly involved the Trail Blazers' defense, and then he faked a real pass and the basketball went straight to the bottom corner, where Bosh was waiting for his pass, and there was not a single Trail Blazers player within two meters of him.
Ye Feng was the first to react and rushed to the bottom corner at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, but Bosh had already made a move, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew straight to the basket, and the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the entire stadium were all cast on this small basketball, and its fate may determine the final outcome of this game......
