Chapter 248: Match Point
The aggregate score was tied at 2-2 and the two teams were back on the same page.
The Western Spurs lost two games in a row and were also tied at 2-2 by the Thunder, and their G4 game was extremely anxious, and Durant was always able to stand up and score at critical moments, hitting countless painful shots for the Spurs. And after these games, Durant's big heart ability was praised by the league.
Compared with Tang Wenlong in the East, the performance of the two people at the same stage is simply indistinguishable, and the superstar halo in the playoffs is infinitely magnified.
On June 5, the 76ers hosted the Heat.
"According to previous years, the finals have already started at this time, but this season is hesitant to shorten the season, so the playoffs start much later than in previous years, and it is still only the finals of the East and West." Before the start of the game, Ke Fan, the commentator of the Chinese webcast, and Wang Meng, the guest commentator, chatted about some seemingly unorthodox details of the game.
After 12 years, the number of people watching the NBA online has skyrocketed, and unlike traditional television broadcasts, online live broadcasts are faster to watch and less limited in location. Especially the change in the style of commentary, when they are used to talking about tactics and the ability of players in a serious way, suddenly there is a more casual way of commenting on the parents, the fans' eyes shine.
The rise of Tang Wenlong has driven a large number of young post-90s fans, most of whom are in college, have personal laptops, and have a dormitory network, but they do not have a TV, so they can only and prefer to watch live broadcasts on the Internet, which is very convenient.
Xin-Lang is now the leader of NBA online live broadcasting, although there are not many games, but it has pinched the needs of Chinese fans. broadcast every Tang Wenlong match.
Ke Fan is a commentator trained by Xin-Lang himself, and his commentary style is unhurried, steady and humorous, and he is gradually liked by the majority of fans. Another guest, Wang Meng, is the resident Houston correspondent of Sports Weekly, and because he is often at the forefront of the NBA, he can always report some first-hand NBA information. It is also a popular commentator.
The commentary style of the two is quite a bit Barkley and Smith style, and they joke about each other around the game on the court, making the game commentary interesting and relaxed.
Joel Anthony started well in the last game, and Spoelstra continued to start the previous game.
After all the audience were seated, both sides began an uncomplicated appearance ceremony, and then Tang Wenlong took off his training jacket, pressed his legs, twisted his waist, walked to the bottom of the basket and jumped up gently. Grab the hoop and do five pull-ups.
A few minutes later, the referee came on the field to call the starters on both sides, the time was displayed on the half-time screen, the referee checked the stopwatch, checked each other with the technical desk staff, and announced the start of the game.
Bosh won the jump ball, and the Heat attacked first.
Iguodala moved closer to James, and Tang Wenlong clung to Wade. The Heat opted for a pick-and-roll offense. Gasol raised the position to make a save to delay Chalmers and then switched back. Withdraw inside to block down Joel Anthony.
Chalmers then gave Wade on the wing, Wade received the ball diagonally and cut diagonally into the 76ers, Tang Wenlong did a good job in the defensive position, and he never had an absolute chance.
In the middle distance, Wade turned and jumped, and Tang Wenlong tapped it. Reach out to interfere.
No. The rebound was grabbed by West.
The 76ers attacked, Lowry controlled the ball at the top of the arc, West came up to block him, and Iguodala ran to the bottom corner on the right side with the help of Tang Wenlong and Gasol's double cover. Gasol ran to the basket on the left side near the three-second zone with the help of Tang Wenlong's cover, and Tang Wenlong came out. Encounter West's off-ball screen.
Lowry chose to share the ball with Tang Wenlong, but Tang Wenlong's position was not very good, he took the ball and then counterattacked the inside, playing a rhythm change, at this time Haslem who was guarding him immediately messed up and was almost not shaken down.
Tang Wenlong took two steps, stepped on the floor of the paint area and flew up, holding the ball with both hands in the air with an uncertain change.
Then Joel Anthony jumped up, Tang Wenlong leaned on his body, switched to his right hand and lowered the ball with one hand, and hit the ball into the basket.
"Good shot, two points scored, and a penalty!" Ke Fan shouted: "At the beginning, the 76ers first made a wonderful layup by Tang Wenlong, and we saw that Tang Wenlong had a change in hand control in the air, and the difficulty of scoring this goal was very high. That wasn't good news for the Heat, as the starting center came up and picked up a personal foul. ”
"That's right." Wang Meng echoed and smiled: "And we see that the 76ers' tactics are very well executed this time, when Tang Wenlong breaks through, the defender in front of him is Haslem, although Haslem is a short insider, but in the face of Tang Wenlong, who has one of the strongest explosive breakthroughs in the league, the defensive end is still stretched." ”
Off the field, Coach Spoelstra "chuckled" in his heart, watching Tang Wenlong hit the penalty, as if he had a bad premonition.
But at the end of the first quarter, there was nothing explosive, and the 76ers narrowly led by one point at 26-25.
The scores of the two teams are close, and in these games, the first quarter has rarely directly opened the score.
After being replaced by the bench, in the second quarter, Louis Williams returned to the home court and became lively again, not only hitting a three-pointer from the outside, but also scoring a layup on the inside. Fortunately, the Heat's offense was also sharp, Battier and James Jones hit three-pointers respectively, and with color, the Heat even tied the score and then overtook the score by the 76ers within a few rounds.
After Tang Wenlong came on the court at 6 minutes and 29 seconds, the two teams gradually put the starting main force back on the court.
Tang Wenlong ran out of the opportunity at 3 minutes and 19 seconds, received a pass from Luis outside the three-point line, and directly shot a three-point shot with a backward range and hit. It was his 10th point of the game and his first three-pointer.
At halftime, the 76ers led the Heat by four points, 53-49, and the game looked scorching throughout.
In the second half, Tang Wenlong, Wade, and James all stepped up their individual offense, especially in the third quarter. This is a stage of adjustment, and it is also the stage that is most likely to break out in waves, and the basketball IQ of the three people is top-notch, and they are full of energy to show eighteen martial arts at this stage.
Tang Wenlong is not confronted with James, although there are more mistakes with the help of blocking and dismantling, but the ball is alive all of a sudden, on the Heat's court, in addition to James and Wade, Tang Wenlong can also be restricted, and anyone else is a point away, just like the Heat are also desperately trying to avoid Tang Wenlong and Iguodala's defense.
In this quarter, Tang Wenlong scored 14 points, James scored 9 points, and Wade scored 8 points, and overall, the 76ers and the Heat still did not open the score.
In the last quarter of the decisive victory, at the critical moment of Tianwang Mountain, every ball became particularly tense.
Neither team scored for three minutes into the fourth quarter, and Butler, who came off the bench with the 76ers, drew a foul on the Heat and opened the free-throw line. As soon as the 76ers opened here, the Heat immediately broke the scoring drought, and Wade broke through the point to Haslem on the inside and hit a layup.
At this time, Tang Wenlong and James were ready to return to the court.
At 6 minutes and 11 seconds, Tang Wenlong slipped to the baseline to receive the ball from David West, hit a backhand layup in the air, and scored his 30th point of the game, while the 76ers led the Heat by 5 points at 82-77.
The 76ers led the whole game, no one wanted to lose the game, and in the deafening cheering, every time they held the ball and every time they scored, they would cause the whole court to cheer.
The home court gave the 76ers more motivation, and the two teams fought to the end, and neither dared to take the lead.
At 2 minutes and 48 seconds, Tang Wenlong suddenly scored a three-point shot for Lowry, and this key three-pointer allowed the 76ers to establish a seven-point lead and stop the Heat.
Sometimes, the difference between winning and losing a game is a matter of millimeters, and when the top NBA teams fight to the end, they are actually the same, and the handling of key balls is the key to affecting the entire game. If it weren't for the very large margin in the third quarter, anyone would have won in the fourth quarter.
After the timeout, the Heat arranged James' strategy of breaking through with the ball, causing Gasol to foul for the fourth time.
Two free throws and one hit, the rebound was protected by the 76ers, Tang Wenlong began to control the ball and pressed the time, and when he had 10 seconds of offensive time left, he relied on his personal ability to force James, and then stopped in the middle distance, stepped back and made a jumper, and missed.
The miss gave hope to the Heat, who happily turned back and attacked.
There are two minutes left in the time, but unfortunately, this time the offensive Heat actually made a mistake! James broke through and was caught by Tang Wenlong, and when he gave the ball to Bosh, he was directly stealed by David West.
It was a fatal steal, and the Heat situation on the court became more and more passive.
Tang Wenlong spent 24 seconds, the same technical move, retreating and jumpers on different sides, and this time, even if James was still defending well, he still threw the ball in.
At this time, the 76ers just scored 100 points, and the Heat only scored 92 points.
The Heat called off the penultimate timeout, and Spoelstra recalled the situation at the beginning, thinking that it was unfortunate to say that the last game won against the 76ers, and this time it was going to be returned.
James missed a three-point shot, the rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong, and the time entered the last 1 minute.
The Heat players were impetuous, Tang Wenlong faced Haslem's defense after blocking and dismantling, the dribble changed to the left to break through, Haslem pulled Tang Wenlong's clothes, was whistled for a foul, and Tang Wenlong walked to the free throw line.
This time it was about to kill the Heat, Tang Wenlong hit both free throws, and the game lost suspense.
In the end, the 76ers defeated the Heat 107-95 at home, and it seemed like they had a 12-point lead, but in fact, the Heat were unwilling to deliberately foul at the last moment and send the 76ers to the free throw line to score.
Tang Wenlong scored 39 points in the whole game, helping the team lead the Miami Heat 3-2 and get the match point! (To be continued.) )
