Chapter 13: The Lore

Beasley rested for six minutes in the second quarter, and by the time he got back on the court, the Heat trailed quite a bit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

35 to 27.

He was joined by Shaun Livingston, who was once hailed as the "next magician", who was only signed by the Heat a few days ago.

Compared with his name, more people know and understand him because of the broken leg incident.

It was a regular season game between the Clippers and Bobcats last February.

During a fast-break layup less than four minutes into the game, he fell like a bird hit by lead bullet, slid his left foot to the outside, and his whole body weight slammed into his left knee perpendicular to the floor with the kinetic energy of the fall.

Livingston immediately fell to the ground and was later carried off the field on a stretcher.

"The indescribable stinging pain made it difficult for me to move, and it felt like someone had cut off my entire calf with a knife." Livingston recalled five months after his injury.

The next thing Livingston can remember was lying in an ambulance, and the Clippers' Japanese trainer Hakuyama had put his dislocated knee back into place, but the pain was still heartbreaking. The red, white, and blue Clippers jersey was still on him, and his vest was soaked through cold sweat.

That injury has been described as one of the most horrific injuries in NBA history.

The video of his injury was widely circulated on YouTube, and the NBA later forced YouTube to delete the video on the grounds that the situation was too brutal.

Beasley genuinely admired the guy and stood up strong against everything in the face of such a serious injury.

Today, back in the Circle, he will start chasing his dreams again.

The Spurs also made a change: they replaced their main players and put them all on the bench, but the substitute was missing Ginobili, the sixth man of the year, who broke his foot at the Olympics this year and is now recovering from an injury.

The game continued, and Livingston scored first, he was much taller than Hill, who couldn't guard against his back-to-back singles.

The Spurs battled in a positional battle, and the coordination was smooth, and Bonner shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

In the following game, Livingston and Beasley exploded, and they led a wave of 12-4 attacks to catch up with the score.

Livingston was in good shape after his comeback, and his back was quite reliable against Hill, but he gave up on a quick break in the front court with a ball, probably because of the psychological problems caused by injury.

Beasley plays power forward, and it is Kurt Thomas who guards him, who is a disciple of Patrick Ewing's life, who wanted to hold the big worm Rodman back then, but unfortunately he is old now.

Besides, Thomas was strong in his low post, and Beasley couldn't resist him in the face.

The situation is unstable, Popovich did not replace Duncan and other main players, and the preseason practice lineup, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

The Spurs' group of benches are also quite competitive, and their team cooperation gradually plays an effect, and the two sides go back and forth, and the score alternates to lead.

Until the second half of the fourth quarter, the situation was still very close.

"Mark, who do you think is more likely to win?" In the commentary seat, Mike Brin asked Mark Jackson next to him.

"Uh... It should still be San Antonio, watching the game you may feel that it is all Heat players scoring, but when you look at the score, Popovich can simply turn decay into magic! Mark Jackson said in an admiring tone.

Mike Brin looked at Van Gundy Jr. on the other side: "Jeff, what about you?" ”

Van Gundy Jr.: "I think the Heat will win, the star is more useful than any tactic in key moments, Beasley is the star of the Heat today!" ”

Riley was also watching the game, and the big rock in his heart finally hit the ground. Beasley's performance has not been good enough before, but today he has scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and no one will probably call him a parallel commodity after this game.

The Heat's lineup at this time: Chalmers, Cook, Jones, Beasley, Haslem.

Spurs five: Hill, Mason, Udoka, Thomas, Bonner.

On paper, there is no doubt that the Heat are stronger, they have an offensive core, but the Spurs opened three-pointers in the second half, Mason alone made 4, Bonner also had 2, and the Spurs relied on three-pointers to bite the score.

On the court, Beasley played against Udoka, Thomas couldn't defend well, and Popovich sent the defensive titan to try it out.

Udoka, who was trained by Bruce Bowen, was airtight defensively, but his size was not good enough for Beasley, who ran his back into the interior and drew the bag to the basket, where Haslem dunked.

Although he feels good, he won't shoot blindly, and he is still an organizer in his bones.

87-90, the Heat led by three points.

Yibian fought again, and it was Mason again, who ignored Cook's defense and hit a strong 3-pointer to tie it at 90-90.

The originally deserted atmosphere at the Spurs' home stadium suddenly became lively again because of this goal.

With less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Spo called a timeout to arrange tactics, and everyone took the opportunity to replenish their strength, and no one wanted to lose this game, even if it was just a preseason game.

The main players of the Heat, including Wade, are cheering them on, and the same is true for the Spurs.

Spo's tactics were actually handed over to Beasley, and he played well enough today, scoring the most points in the team, and he was right to hit the key ball.

In the first round after the timeout, Beasley turned and shot wide, and he used a lot of energy on both ends of the floor in this game, and he was tired at this juncture.

Then Hill scored a fast-break layup, Udoka also hit a three-pointer, and the Heat hit two irons in a row to trail by five points.

With 43.5 seconds left, the Heat made a mistake on offense, and after a messy battle, Chalmers was lucky to pick up the ball on the floor and hit a three-pointer.

With 28.3 seconds left in the game, the Spurs led 95-93.

Hill pressed the clock and waited until there were only eight seconds left on the offensive clock, and he borrowed Thomas's cover and missed a pull-up jumper from the free throw line, and the rebound was collected by Haslem.

With only 2.9 seconds left, Spo called a short timeout.

He drew on the tactics board, "Michael, you go to the throw-in, James, you cover Mario here, Udonis, you cover Mario here, you must block strongly, as long as the action is not too big, the referee will not blow!" ”

"Daquinn, you slipped out of the bottom line and slipped into this corner."

"Michael, if Mario succeeds in getting rid of you, send it to him, don't hesitate, give it to Daquinn if you don't have a chance. In the end, whoever you get the ball and immediately pass it back to Michael, and the ball makes him throw, do you hear that? ”

After setting up the tactics, Spo glanced at Beasley, "Are you confident to throw it?" ”

Beasley nodded expressionlessly, knowing that he was about to execute the first strike of his career.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Wade made a joke: "It's just a lore, what's the tension?" There are not ten or eight lores in my brother's career, haha! ”

Beasley was speechless and rolled his eyes.

The timeout was over and the players were back on the pitch again.

Beasley took the throw-in, he was sweating a lot, and anyone who encountered it for the first time was nervous.

It was Thomas who interfered with the serve, jumping up and down in front of Beasley. The referee puts the ball in Beasley's hands and blows the whistle.

Cook slipped over immediately, but unfortunately he was still entangled by Mason, and the ball passed to him nine times out of ten and he didn't come back.

Chalmers came out with a continuous block, but Udoka stuck to that point early and couldn't pass.

With five seconds running out, Beasley took the risk of sending the ball to Haslem, who was entangled by Bonner, but Haslem was strong enough to catch the ball against Bonner.

Beasley sent the ball out and Thomas ran for Haslem, there was nothing to think about, Beasley ran into the field from out of bounds, shouting, "Udonis! Udonis! Give me the ball! ”

After all, Haslem is a player who is used to seeing big scenes with Wade, and he is afraid of being intercepted by Thomas and gives a high-profile ball, which Beasley catches.

1.2 seconds to go.

Beasley made a three-footer three-pointer from beyond the three-point line with no defender in front of him.

Hill and Udoka pounced and were far away.

The basketball flies along a beautiful parabola towards the basket.

The lights are on.

The ball goes in.
