Chapter 400: We Are the Champions (Part I)
The basketball has flown out of his hand, Ye Feng landed, still maintaining the hand shape of shooting, for him there is no defense now, this ball is going to be won or lost, either life or death, there is no third way to go, the pioneers have no time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone stood up involuntarily, and the players even clenched their fists, whether on the field or on the bench, everyone could only wait, their hearts beating like drums. For the Heat players, they feel very bad in their hearts, because Ye Feng's shot is in an incomplete gap this time, and his shooting does not need the kind of big space that is unguarded two meters in front of him, which is enough for him to maintain a high shooting rate.
But Ye Feng didn't have a bottom in his heart, no one dared to pat his chest and say that he would definitely score this ball, even if he was in a completely empty space. There are far fewer moments of sighing in the NBA than miracles are created, and even a sharpshooter who is based on a three-point score may not be able to shoot the ball under inner pressure at the critical moment when he is leading 3-1 in the Finals and falling behind by 1 point in the final minute of Game 5.
Of course, Ye Feng really hopes that this ball can be hit, this game consumed too much energy for him, and his left ankle was even injured, if this game can't be won, he may be ordered to rest in the next few games, and if it is serious, he may even have to be reimbursed for the season, McMillan will not let him continue to mess around. In fact, if it weren't for the team's chances of winning this game, McMillan would not have let him play, and he would have been sent to the hospital directly.
After the ball was shot, Ye Feng felt that the whole world seemed to slow down, and he stood there watching the numbers on the timer decrease little by little, and the basketball flew towards the basket little by little. The timer went off while it was still in mid-air, which meant that it was the last ball of the game and there was no room for buffering.
But no matter how slow it is, it has to fly to the basket position, Ye Feng's shot did not make a lot of effort, and his shooting hand has long been corrected by Hornacek, and the arc of the basketball is also quite pleasing to the eye, even if it smashes the back edge of the basket like Aldridge, it will not bounce too high, and it is not nervous.
In the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the court, the basketball touched the rebound lightly, rebounded and fell into the basket with great smoothness. After the referee repeatedly confirmed the timing of Ye Feng's shot on the technical table, he signaled that the goal was valid, and the number on the scoreboard flashed, becoming 104 to 102, and the Trail Blazers reversed to win!
Ye Feng was still standing stupidly in the position where he was shooting, but his teammates had already rushed up like madmen to surround him, everyone laughed and jumped, and vented the joy of winning the championship on the opponent's home court. Even the old ones such as Camby and Miller also looked up to the sky and roared, looking like an old man talking about a teenager's madness.
In stark contrast to them is the lonely eyes of the Heat players, and while James and Wade generously stepped forward to shake hands and hug the Trail Blazers players, tears began to glisten in the eyes of others. The veterans who came for the championship and hoped to hug the thighs of the Big Three sighed silently, who knew that such a powerful Big Three would not be able to win the championship after merging? Their championship dreams seem to have to wait another year.
Among them, veteran Juwan Howard was particularly emotional, knowing that he was still on the Trail Blazers' roster last season and made enough contributions to the team in his short playing time. But last summer, he saw the Trail Blazers lose ground to the Celtics in the Finals, so he left Portland in search of a team that could win a championship, hoping to fulfill his championship dream at the end of his career.
But I didn't expect the team I joined to lose to my old club in the finals, is this providence? I'm destined to never win a championship in my life? Second Uncle Huo thought stupidly on the sidelines, his eyes dimmed involuntarily, this blow was indeed a bit big for him.
Of course, Ye Feng saw Second Uncle Huo, who felt sorry for himself, and he knew that this veteran must be uncomfortable in his heart, otherwise he would not be muttering to himself on the sidelines with blank eyes. He stepped forward and gave the former teammate a big hug, in his opinion, Uncle Huo was right to choose the Heat, after all, the Big Three of James, Wade and Bosh are more championships than the Trail Blazers, but their existence is just hindering the footsteps of this super team.
But he didn't say anything, Second Uncle Huo's situation can't be solved in a sentence or two, he has to wait for him to figure it out. Ye Feng turned his head to look at Miller and Camby, the two old guys, they were not only excited, but also a little bit of disbelief on their faces, after all, no one thought that the Trail Blazers could actually win the championship.
Ye Feng looked at his hand, just now he hit the lore and brought the O'Brien Cup back to Portland! In fact, Ye Feng didn't feel anything special when he shot, just like practicing thousands of three-point shots on the training ground, fortunately, the hard practice on weekdays did not disappoint him.
As the core of the Trailblazers' team and the biggest contributor to the end of the entire finals, Ye Feng was naturally chased and intercepted by reporters from all walks of life. Although he was in a good mood, he was still very excited at the moment, and he didn't have time to answer the questions raised by the reporters one by one. He is not afraid of these media saying that he is playing a big name, and now he has the capital to play a big name, no matter how much the media smears him, the championship is still firmly in the hands of the Trail Blazers.
Of course, other reporters can be dismissed casually, but the tearful beauty in front of him cannot. Abby had already followed her colleagues to the stadium, but there were too many reporters who wanted to interview Ye Feng, and she was a little girl who was squeezed outside.
Ye Feng briefly answered the reporters' questions, and walked towards Abby without crowding, now he was so happy in his heart that he wanted to find someone to talk to, his girlfriend was undoubtedly the best choice. In fact, Ye Ning and Guo Yu also came to the American Airlines Arena to watch the game, but after they saw their son surrounded by reporters, they stood on the sidelines very leisurely, smiling and watching how their son coped, so naturally Ye Feng was unlikely to see his parents at a glance.
Ye Feng and Abby's relationship has been exposed by many media before, and the two have no intention of hiding anything, but now seeing Abby appear, even the official reporters of ESPN have a smile in their eyes, watching the pair hug each other tightly and kiss deeply......
