Chapter 399: Rebound! Backboard!
There is a kind of goal on the basketball court that hurts the most morale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not the opponent who grabs the frontcourt rebounds in a row and then makes the basket successfully, nor is it the opponent's easy air cut layup due to lack of concentration, and it's not the logo-shoot that is a little dizzying, that is, the ultra-long three-point shot near the home team logo in the middle line, but the weird "lucky-ball", that is, the dribble.
Aldridge's three-point shot was a typical dribbling balloon, and after he made it, not only the opponent, but even his teammates didn't believe that he could hit the ball, and he himself stood outside the three-point line like a fool and watched. And this ball is really weird, according to normal circumstances, it is likely to bounce directly behind the rebound, which means out of bounds in the rules, who would have thought that the basketball would bounce straight up and fall straight down, and finally bounce into the basket.
The Heat players froze, and the referee urged them several times before Haslem shook his head and walked to the baseline to prepare for kickoff. Everyone else was as tall as if they had lost their souls, and Haslem yelled a few words before they came to their senses, but they all dragged their feet and ran weakly.
The ball was passed to Wade's hand, Ye Feng originally wanted to steal directly to play the last attack, but he didn't expect that although Wade was in a heavy mood, his head was already a little sober under Haslem's shouting, and he avoided Ye Feng's claws. Ye Feng didn't expect to succeed in one fell swoop, so he fouled Wade again and sent the latter to the free throw line.
Now the pressure is all on Wade, if Aldridge didn't hit that three-pointer just now, the Heat still have a certain initiative, after all, when leading by 4 points, as long as you score a free throw, you can basically lock up the win, but now it is no longer possible.
Although the Heat still have a one-point lead over their opponents, this one point is a talisman. If Wade hits both free throws, the Heat have a good chance of being dragged into overtime, but at least they have a chance to win; But if Wade misses even one free throw, the initiative will change hands in an instant, and they can only pray that the Trail Blazers miss a three-point shot under their own defense. If Wade only makes one free throw or even two free throws, it's over, and unless they grab an offensive rebound, the Trail Blazers will have more options.
Wade walked to the free throw line, and the referee signaled for two free throws and tossed the ball to him. He looked at both sides, it was no surprise that the Heat grabbed rebounds with Haslem and Bosh, and the Trail Blazers were very unusual, as a small forward, Ye Feng stood far away from the three-point line, and it was Camby, Aldridge and Matthews who were responsible for grabbing rebounds. In fact, Ye Feng didn't grab rebounds much during free throws throughout the game, but now he looks a little slack.
However, only the players of the Trail Blazers know that this is not a slack at all, Ye Feng was originally equivalent to resting because he was dealing with a sprain in the locker room, and before he appeared on the court, he also specifically asked McMillan to grab a rebound when the opponent made free throws.
He thought that McMillan would agree, but who knew that not only McMillan was against it, but even his teammates did not support his approach. The most fierce attitude is undoubtedly Matthews, and he also counted Ye Feng very impassionedly, saying that he didn't believe his teammate Yunyun, and he won everyone's unanimous approval. So in the end, it was Matthews who grabbed the rebounds with the insiders, and although McMillan was not too optimistic that he could grab the rebounds, he finally got the number together.
Wade slapped the ball and took a deep breath, at this moment the entire American Airlines arena can be said to be silent, and the Heat fans who came to watch the game watched with bated breath as their team spirit began to shoot free throws, of course, if it was a Trail Blazers player who made free throws, the treatment would be very different.
The first shot was steady, and Wade could clearly hear the relief of his teammates next to him, but he was still expressionless, and although he felt good when he first took the shot, who could guarantee that the second penalty would feel just as good? His free-throw percentage is high, but there is always some volatility in such crucial moments.
The referee tossed the ball to him again, and Wade slapped the ball, took a slight aim, and threw it. However, as soon as the basketball shot, his face changed, and with his years of experience, this ball will not be as smooth as the first free throw just now, and it is possible to hit the iron directly. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the basketball flying in the air until it slammed into the front of the basket with a "bang", which smashed like a hammer into the hearts of Heat players and fans.
Several people standing on the edge of the three-second zone were not slow, and with Wade, who felt something, six people jumped up at the same time and stretched out their hands to the basketball in mid-air, and for a while it was impossible to see which side had the advantage. It stands to reason that the advantage on the Heat's side is greater, after all, Wade is the king of guard blocks in NBA history, and his bounce and judgment are naturally not bad, Matthews is a little worse than him, but many times things are not as simple and straightforward as they seem.
I don't know who tried to straighten his arm and flicked it, and the basketball flew up again, and none of the six people grabbed it. When it came time to fall again, Ye Feng, who was standing on the periphery, heard a familiar roar, a relatively slender arm stretched out longer than the others, and then took down the basketball that fell again. Ye Feng saw it very clearly, it was Matthews, I really don't know how he snatched the rebound in this group of muscle sticks.
The crowd squirmed for a while, and one hand grabbed the basketball and stretched out from the gap, and threw the ball in the direction of Ye Feng. Although Matthews is not tall, he has subconsciously memorized Ye Feng's position when he was scrambling for rebounds, and this is how he passed it accurately after grabbing the rebound.
James had already noticed that the basketball was being passed out of the crowd by the Trail Blazers players, and he yelled at his teammates to stop pestering and hurry back to his defensive position, while he quickened his pace and rushed towards Ye Feng like a tank, completely indifferent to whether he would be whistled for a foul.
Ye Feng didn't look at James at all, he only saw Matthews' determined and expectant eyes, saw Camby and Aldridge desperately blocking the Heat players from letting them go to their places, and saw that the numbers on the timer were passing quickly......
The pain in his left ankle seemed to disappear at this moment, but Ye Feng didn't plan to entangle with his opponent for five minutes of overtime, he kicked the ground with both feet, and rose into the air without even making preparations, and his right hand forcefully pushed the basketball out of his hand, and his eyes kept following the trajectory of the basketball.
Even at such a critical moment, he still dared to bear the consequences alone, and he was fearless!
