Chapter 344: G3
The rain in the south brought a damp feeling, and Miami, a city full of enthusiasm, was still brightly lit up on the night of the G3 game. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The lights are connected together, like a city that never sleeps.
The American Airlines Center was packed with more than 20,000 fans, and they cheered as hard as they could, contributing their modest share as Heat fans.
Two cities, two teams, tied together because of the entangled playoffs, inexplicably became mortal enemies.
When Tang Wenlong stood on this land, he gathered the eyes of the whole Miami, and all the fans stared at him, cursing that he had better not be able to shoot a ball.
The G3 battle, for the Heat, cannot be lost.
Tang Wenlong also knew that the Heat would definitely explode more than 100% of their combat effectiveness in this game, so he was fully prepared to be impacted. But I still didn't expect that the Heat would bring so much trouble to the 76ers in the first quarter.
Like the Spurs, the desperate doubling of the pressure as soon as they came up caused the players to be very uncomfortable, and the 76ers hit iron and made frequent mistakes in the first quarter, and then were beaten by the Heat for a quarter and a half 17-5, and the angry Collins called two timeouts in a row. The state rebounded in the second half, and the Heat led the 76ers by 11 points 29-18 in the first quarter.
Tang Wenlong's own hand is not good, James's defense is very good several times, most of his shots are too heavy or too light, and then he hit 2 of 7 shots in the first quarter, got 5 points and 2 rebounds, and the efficiency is very low.
The 76ers came off the bench to adjust the situation, and Lowry led the way to a wonderful offense to close the score to 31-26, only five points away.
Spoelstra called a timeout, he couldn't stand the embarrassment that the Heat would be forced by a bunch of bench supplies from the 76ers, his face was pale, and he had a rare fire.
Then he replaced Joel Anthony, who was playing poorly, with "Birdman" Anderson, replaced Mike Miller, who missed two shots, and replaced James to control the whole situation.
James came on the court and scored two points on a quick layup to stabilize the situation for the Heat.
Then, within a minute, Tang Wenlong was also put back on the court by Collins, at this time with Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Tang Wenlong, David West and Whiteside forming the second team.
Tang Wenlong made a gesture to Lowry and motioned for Lowry to attack by himself.
It's not Tang Wenlong's humility, but the current lineup, the Heat is composed of Kerr, Battier, James, Bosh, and Anderson, among which point guard Norris Kerr is just a sophomore rookie, compared with Lowry, experience, physical talent, and technical and tactical level are not at the same level, if you don't break through from him, where will you break through?
It's simple and convenient, and Lowry knows it in his own heart, so he asked Whiteside to come out and do a pick-and-roll for him.
Kerr was blocked by Whiteside, Anderson stepped forward to delay Lowry, and then Whiteside went down, and Lowry dribbled sideways and passed the ball out in a split second, penetrating like a stitch.
Whiteside took the ball and dribbled, no one came to block him with the ball high, and when he got to the penalty area, Bosh stepped back and Anderson assisted.
Then Whiteside gave West, who was open on the baseline, and West hit an easy jumper in the corner with almost no defense. 33-28, the 76ers trailed by five points.
Good shot, Tang Wenlong applauded, the key to this ball was Lowry's first score, and the Heat's defense was penetrated all of a sudden. But it's also difficult for Whiteside, as a substitute for Gasol Jr., he often has to support the same responsibilities as Gasol Jr. on the offensive end, such a strategy ball is commonplace for Gasol Jr., and it is not easy for Whiteside, but the good news is that under the tutelage of assistant coaches such as Bob, he has improved a lot.
The Heat attacked, James gave Battier a three-pointer and missed.
was grabbed by Bosh in the front court, strong or missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Whiteside.
Offensive and defensive rotations, opportunities for the 76ers to attack from the position.
Lowry gave Tang Wenlong the ball, and Tang Wenlong passed it back to Lowry near 45 degrees on the left side. Lowry moved to the right at the top of the arc and then still found Whiteside's pick-and-roll.
Unable to stop Norris Cole, Lowry was grabbed by Kerr and Anderson instead.
He lacked a passing gap, and returned his side hand to Tang Wenlong, who received the ball, and Tang Wenlong did not break through after taking the ball, and went straight to Whiteside, who was one step inside the free throw line.
It's still the same routine, but Bosh who defends West from the baseline hesitates.
Under the basket, Whiteside went straight to the open space, grabbed the ball with both hands straight and put his arms into the frame, and then arrogantly made a pull-up movement, lifting his feet up.
Under the referee's unscrupulous eyes, Whiteside stumbled, then turned around and ran back.
At 33-30, the 76ers trailed by just three points.
Spoelstra was even more annoyed, Tang Wenlong did little to contribute in these two sets of offense, it was the Heat's own defense that had a big problem, and this kind of leaky low-level mistake was especially fatal in the NBA game. Especially a team as terrifying as the 76ers will seize such an opportunity to show its attacking fangs every minute.
He walked to the sideline and pulled his tie and yelled, "Stay aggressive, stay aggressive!" ”
The shouts of the coaches, the thick breathing of the players, the repeated beating of the basketball on the floor, the friction of the shoes on the smooth floor, and the never-ending DJ agitation and fan shouts echoing in the stadium made it the noisiest and most real and exciting music.
It was an unforgettable evening.
......
Then by halftime, Tang Wenlong scored the 11th point of the game, which was not as high as LeBron's 15 points, but the 76ers led the Heat by 2 points 49-47. In the second quarter, the 76ers led the Heat by 13 points in a single quarter, and the two teams played a good game each.
By the second half, the game entered the white-hot stage, and the two teams came up with an endless stream of offensive weapons.
Tang Wenlong scored two points on a high-level jumper here, and James turned around on a jumper from close range and also scored two points. Here, with the help of covering, Tang Wenlong cut the basket and then split the ball outside Ray Allen to shoot three points, and James also scored outside the ball after breaking through the basket, which can also create an open three-point opportunity for teammates.
Until the final three minutes of the game, the two teams were still inseparable, and the score was 95 drawn.
At the critical moment, James hit a three-pointer to create a lead for the Heat, Tang Wenlong covered the three-point line 45 degrees with the help of Gasol Jr., and also had a three-point opportunity.
Also, 98 flat!
The fans are crazy, this kind of star matchup at a critical moment is like a knight duel, righteous and sacred.
In 58 seconds, Tang Wenlong assisted Iguodala, who hit a layup against Bosh at a critical moment, and the 76ers overtook the Heat by two points 100-98 and seized the initiative. (To be continued.) )
