Chapter 165: The Moment of Truth

After returning to the field, the tension in Lehi's heart disappeared. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the court he doesn't have any time to be nervous or think about anything else, whether it's attacking or defending, he has the heaviest tasks and has to concentrate every minute and second.

Unlike against the Wizards, he won't be effective when he goes to the low post, and what he relies on is the shooting that he has always focused on, and because he has put in countless sweats, he won't be confused.

The Knicks passed the ball to Lehi again, and Lehi looked confident and started straight to break through Haslem...... Pick-up, Wade came over to strike, and the Heat changed their defensive strategy at a critical time. ”

"Lehi is like he has eyes on his back, and he passes the ball directly to the side and back, and Lehi has played a lot of singles before, I didn't expect him to pass the ball so simply this time."

"Marbury went straight in, and the Heat didn't expect it at all, is this the Knicks' tactic...... Antoine Walker fouled and Marbury threw the whole man directly into Walker's arms. ”

Marbury stood at the free throw line and hit both free throws, and as he walked back, he deliberately said, "Didn't you give you the ball, I thought you kid didn't need me anymore." ”

Lehi smiled nonchalantly, "Give me the ball, but I know you're still going to cover me." ”

He and Marbury have cooperated so many times, and they usually practice together, how Marbury will run, Lehi is familiar with it, just now Wade's pinch attack was relatively sudden, Lehi did not hesitate to choose to believe in his teammates.

If he takes a slow step, he will stop the ball and lose this opportunity, which is the tacit understanding between teammates.

When the Heat attacked, Lehi stared Wade to death, Wade was mostly a breakthrough and a half-volley, so the Knicks' defense was still relatively tight, ready to pinch the opponent's key figures at any time.

Wade saw that Walker's side had another opportunity outside the three-point line, and he also passed the ball, because Walker just hit a three-pointer, and the Heat also hoped that he could hit again, so that the Knicks would not dare to recklessly shrink the defense.

After Walker received the ball, although it was a tiptoe shot, the shot was extremely fast, and Channing Frye pounced on it, taking advantage of his height to interfere slightly.

However, Walker's three-point shooting was really mediocre, and the basketball bounced off the basket after slamming it into the basket.

However, one of the two inside lines went out, and O'Neal grabbed the frontcourt rebound in his arms and turned around to shoot.

Lehi also had a move to protect the rebound just now, but was hit by O'Neal and bounced off, seeing O'Neal about to shoot, Lehi reacted very quickly, jumped up and fanned over.

He was high enough in the air and accurate in his judgment of the shooting line, but O'Neal's huge body stopped him again.

The referee's whistle blew, and Lehi fouled his hand, and Lehi also fouled four times, but fortunately the time had entered the last 2 minutes.

O'Neal, who stood at the free throw line, also wanted to be able to hit at critical moments, but after he came to the Heat, he hit a lower free-throw shooting rate than in the Lakers, missed one free throw, and only hit the second free throw after adjustment.

At 99:96, the difference between the two sides came to 3 points.

By this time, the Knicks also began to control the time, and after 10 seconds of the ball was in Marbury's hands, Lesea stepped forward to cover, and Marbury broke through to dismantle the ball to Lehi.

Lehi received the ball with a feint to trick Haslem and lunge towards the basket.

O'Neal's massive body almost lunged at him, and Lehi leaned over the other and picked up the basket with one hand.

He was knocked two steps away by O'Neal, his shot was affected and he didn't hit, but the referee's whistle didn't blow.

Lehi made a questioning expression to the referee, but now there is no time to worry about these things, there is only 1 minute left, and the referee can say that even if he doesn't blow the ball just now, but it is not the last attack, and it will generally be blown at home.

The spectators in the stands also booed, putting pressure on the referee.

The Heat called a timeout, replaced O'Neal with James Posey, increased the range of shooting on the court, and when Wade got back on the court, Haslem came up to cover him.

Wade saw his teammates coming to cover, and immediately accelerated and rushed to the basket.

Lehi knew Wade would do this, because Wade generally doesn't shoot from a distance, and his choice is relatively simple to judge, unlike Arenas, who will shoot two steps from the three-point line.

Lehi walked back the moment Haslem blocked him, and Wade didn't relent, just getting off the ground because his defensive judgment was correct.

Lehi followed and stuck to Wade, jumping up after the other man's second step.

Wade's successful throw was interfered with by him, and there was some physical contact between the two, but the referee didn't blow it this time.

Channing Frye protected the backcourt rebound, and the Knicks didn't call a timeout, and they led by three points, and a timeout would have helped the opposition replace O'Neal.

The Heat replaced O'Neal because he didn't shoot good free throws and had to open up space for Vedera, but when defending, O'Neal would still be more troublesome for the Knicks to stand under the basket, so the Knicks dribbled the ball directly to the front court and continued to consume time.

The same tactic as just now, Lehi blocked Marbury, pulled the opponent's defense and then Lehi caught the ball and broke through, this time Lehi just rushed inside, Wade and Haslem surrounded together.

Lehi watched a little staggered and jumped, but he jerked the ball to the basket, and Francis, who cut inside, received the ball and dunked directly, 101:96.

During this time, it was obvious that Francis's physical condition was much better than when he was in the Magic.

The Heat still put the ball in Wade's hands and opened up space for him, with Payton, Walker and Posey all standing outside the three-point line.

After Wade broke through, in addition to defending his Lehi, Channing Frye also helped to defend.

Wade's reaction after crashing headlong into the encirclement was very good, and he immediately stepped back and half-backed to shoot, which also showed that Wade's offensive skills and physical coordination were extremely good, but it was too difficult and the shot did not hit.

Then at this time, there were some problems with the rebound, which was also affected by the Heat's pulling out of the inside, and Haslem was obviously more flexible than Eddie Curry, and he actually clicked the rebound first.

Haslem clicked the ball and held the ball in his arms the second time, and Lehi immediately stopped in front of Wade and prevented Haslem from passing the ball.

There was some confusion on the Knicks' defense, but Lehi kept Wade in his sights.

Haslem chose to shoot at this time, and he hit it, 101:98.

With 21 seconds left, the Knicks asked for a timeout to make sure nothing changed during those 21 seconds. (To be continued.) )
