Chapter 238: The Miami Triumvirate (5)
The higher the level of ascent, the higher the level of attention.
When there are only four teams left in the entire NBA, basketball fans all over the world will focus on the four teams, and the names of the players of the 76ers team have spread all over China, Iguodala, Mark Gasol and even Jimmy Butler, Speights and other little-known young players, just like the Rockets back then.
In the front row of the Wajovia Center in the past, there were always more local celebrities in Philadelphia, and today there are many big and small stars who came to the scene from New York, and some are friends of some players, like Jay-Z, Beyoncé is a very good friend of James, and today he specially rushed to the scene to wear the Heat's No. 6 jersey to cheer for James.
His home field, Tang Wenlong, the ticket in the front row, still got it, he got two tickets for Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi to watch on the spot, the two beauties are now with Tang Wenlong's popularity, the appearance rate is very high, because the three of them are often seen appearing at the same time, and there are unscrupulous media and even malicious speculation about the evil relationship between the three.
What Tang Wenlong didn't expect was that there was a big beautiful girlfriend who came to cheer for him today, it was Taylor Morson, who often met in the gym when he was still in his rookie season last year, Morson became famous for starring in "Gossip Girl", but in fact, it has been tepid for the past two years, and he is just a little star with an average reputation, but because he has been in contact with Tang Wenlong for a period of time, the two also left contact information for each other, which can be regarded as friends who speak to the point.
I don't know where she got a ticket, and she also sat in the front row, wearing Tang Wenlong's white home jersey No. 1. Slender figure. Tingting sat down. Attracts a lot of eyeballs.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams entered the decisive stage, the two sides reduced unnecessary mistakes, played more cautiously and reasonably, and the rhythm gradually slowed down.
At 5 minutes, Tang Wenlong hit a three-point jumper to score the 25th point of the game, and the 76ers beat the Heat by one point 92-91.
The Heat attacked, and James broke through and missed a layup. But his bulldozer-like layup put the defensive Iguodala and the defensive David West out of the baseline together, and Bosh in the back easily picked up the rebound and hit the rebound. 93 to 92.
Tang Wenlong controls the ball from the outside, the 76ers on the court are still the main lineup at the beginning, and the Heat replaced Turiaf with Haslem, the height has decreased, the offensive flexibility is stronger, and the defensive end Haslem can also defend himself against interior players, with a tough style and ensuring morale.
At critical moments, the 76ers reduced their cumbersome tactical movements. Most of them are based on the sudden points after blocking and dismantling, and rely on Tang Wenlong's personal offensive ability to hold the ball to solve the game.
Tang Wenlong with the help of Gasol Jr.'s high-quality blocking and dismantling. Getting rid of James' pursuit, in order to delay Tang Wenlong's attack, Haslem and James wrapped Tang Wenlong together. Tang Wenlong passed the ball to Gasol Jr., and Gasol Jr. dribbled the ball and took two steps inside, leaving the Heat's hinterland empty.
"Watch your back!" James at the top of the arc reminded his teammates loudly that Bosh, as a mobile interior lineman, is also messy at the moment, how can this be prevented?
Gasol dribbled and threw the ball out directly, and Iguodala suddenly slashed out and caught the ball in the air and filled the frame! 94-93, the 76ers led by one point.
Then James missed a mid-range jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong in the air.
When the 76ers attacked, Gasol pouted his ass and was whistled for a covering foul by the referee. Gasol hugged his head and his mouth grew up, and he also looked incredulous.
In the last 3 minutes of time, James held the ball at 45 degrees and broke through to the middle, Iguodala did not lose position, and the 76ers did not wrap up, James held the ball with his right hand on the far side, squeezed to the free throw line steadily, stopped suddenly, and then turned directly to jump shot, bounced off with both feet, and the posture was not very good-looking.
Iguodala sealed his eyes, but this time James shot with a good sense of rhythm, and it was in the middle where he was most sure, and when he shot, he relied on the feeling in his memory, and hit it steadily after shooting, 94-95, and the Heat overtook by one point.
At 2 minutes and 35 seconds, Lowry controlled the ball past half court, and the Heat began to press the defense, which is one of the tactics that all NBA teams will adopt in the final moments, because at this point, the physical exertion of the main players on both sides is already very large, and it is very likely to cause the opponent to make mistakes if they press all over the court.
Lowry turned his back, resisted Chalmers, and gave it to Tang Wenlong, who cut without the ball on the wing, Tang Wenlong received the ball and dribbled two steps, held the ball on the side and pulled up, dodged Wade, who came to harass him, jumped a big step, stepped on the floor on his toes and bounced, and his body had a spin in the air, and he made a backward jumper!
"It's so hard!" Barkley exclaimed.
"Huh!" As soon as the words fell, the basketball spun and wiped the net, and Tang Wenlong also chose a mid-distance jump shot to respond to the ball! 96 to 95.
The crowd had all stood up, and the 76ers didn't score a single goal, which was like scoring the winning goal, always causing waves of white people to roll and cheer.
The offense was pivotal, and after James dribbled past halftime, Heat head coach Spoelstra called a timeout.
After the pause, James served on the sideline, Wade ran to the high position in the bottom corner, received the pass with the help of Haslem's cover, and then dribbled to the top of the arc, James continued to use Haslem's cover after sending the sideline ball, and ran to the basket, at the same time, at the top of the arc, Wade and Bosh had a tactical cooperation of blocking and pick-and-roll, and the pressure was given to the side of the ball carrier.
The 76ers made a mistake in defense, and Wade drew a double bag after blocking and passed the ball to open Bosh from behind.
Bosh received the ball in the high post, hesitated slightly, and still jumped to shoot. Although the Heat are known as the Miami Big Three, at a critical moment like this, there was nothing to do with him, and he has never been prepared to fight for the ball at the last moment, and when the opportunity arises, it is even a little incredible.
"Bang dang!" The basketball smashed into the hoop and bounced high, and James, Wade, Bosh and head coach Spoelstra's faces went black at the same time.
"My rebounds!" Tang Wenlong roared, rushed in and jumped high, his head was over the circle, his long arms were wrapped, and his hands "snapped" in the air and grabbed the basketball, as if he was going to burst the basketball.
Prevented! At 1:49, Scott didn't call a timeout.
At this time, it is the Heat who is behind, and it is the Heat who prefer to use timeouts to adjust, and the 76ers will always have the upper hand as long as they control the time and rhythm.
After Lowry passed the half, he consciously gave the ball to Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong grabbed the basketball with one hand two steps away from the three-point line, and his shoulders were on James, and the two of them were directly opposed.
"Heads-up!" The audience shouted such a slogan, and the heads-up of the stars at such a critical moment was really exciting! (To be continued.) )
