Chapter 81: The Gentleman's Sword
At 45-53, the Grizzlies trailed by eight points with four minutes and six seconds left in the first half.
Hollins called a timeout again and switched directly to the two-bear combination, with three shooters on the outside.
And the Heat was not to be outdone, and at the same time took Ray Allen and McMiller, replaced LeBron, and saw that the score was always ahead, so that the little emperor had time to take a breath, remove Chris Bosh, and lead the team with Wade single-core.
Guy was unhappy with Hollins' substitution, because he was still sitting off the court, and sitting off the court couldn't help the game score points.
Yes, sitting on the pitch won't help the team get points, but it can help the team, haha.
Bayless and Li Ming stood at 45 degrees on the left and right sides, and the opposing defenders always gave space for one step, in order to be able to make up for Conley who could enter the interior at any time.
This is a tactic that Spo designed specifically for Conley, and it seems that he has studied the Grizzlies game a lot and knows Conley's characteristics by heart.
"That's just right." Conley smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Lee, let them see your true horror." Conley strode to the basket, taking away the defenders around him and throwing the ball off the three-point line.
Li Ming, who had already been ambushed and was always waiting to receive the ball, did it in one go, and the cold light flashed and three points into the net.
"Hmph, that's a trick, I thought we didn't have any." The Heat didn't rush through the half, and Miller took the initiative to block Wade.
After Wade passed, he gave the ball to the gentleman's sword on the other side, Lei Allen.
This Lei Alun is not ambiguous at all, just open his hand, thanks to the fact that there is really no eagle owl in the sky, otherwise there will not be enough for him to shoot.
"Ray has been famous for a long time, starting with the three musketeers in the late Bucks, to the supersonic Super Gemini, to the success of the Celtics, leaving a string of legends in the rivers and lakes." Fellow goalscorer Alan Houston has a long-standing admiration for Ray Allen.
"Yes, Alain, you said a lot, the most important thing is that this guy has this super explosive physique." Pippen added.
"Remember that slam dunk contest in '97? It was the year when the Lakers kid won the championship, and Ray was his main competitor that year, and his terrifying bounce really showed off in front of the world. Scott Pippen was impressed because he was one of the judges that year.
This Lei Allen shoots quickly and ruthlessly, and can always give the enemy a precise blow, which is a bit similar to the taste of the cold face and cold gun Luo Cheng in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
His presence must not be forgotten at any time, and he has already made four shots in his limited playing time tonight, including three of three three-pointers, and his 100% shooting rate can be seen.
"This Ray Allen is really so awesome, I used to see his sneakers introduced in basketball magazines in high school." Li Ming touched his chin and stared at the man in front of him.
It's a pity that this guy had a stiff fight with the Celtics' management last year, and finally the Celtics brought in Jason Terry, and this intention is obvious.
Ray Allen also rejected a two-year, $12 million contract, and turned around and entered the Heat with a three-year, $9.53 million contract.
"I dare to say that he has a certain gambling nature, after all, the Celtics hurt him too deeply, and he feels that he is not respected, so he will throw himself into the arms of his mortal enemy." Pippen is calm about criticism in the media and magazines.
"How to say it, everyone will have their own way of handling things, and a humble and gentleman-like character like him will be forced to do this, and Anji has a great responsibility." Houston hit the nail on the head.
While the two were still discussing Ray Allen, the Grizzlies had already returned a shot from Randolph under the basket.
"You can hold him, it's okay, he's fine." Wade patted the birdman on the shoulder.
Birdman Anderson is also running for a championship ring this year, and because of his strong performance in the playoffs last year, the Heat will also expect him.
Wade served from the baseline, Ray Allen personally dribbled the ball through the half, his eyes were wandering, inscrutable, and he was opposite Bayless.
"Is he going to burst or is he going to throw this ball?" Just as uncertain as Bayless are the narrator.
Ray Allen made a nonchalant half-turn and then abruptly stepped back and pulled back, followed by a quick three-point shot.
Even his teammates didn't react to the speed of the ball, and even Anderson on the inside always thought that he was going to hang a high ball for himself, desperately trying to get stuck with Randolph.
LeBron James also got up to cheer his teammates on, repeating the phrase "Awesome, my boy, my baby!!"
"The arc of this ball is so beautiful, there is no way to prevent it, it's too ghostly." Pippen was limited by the lack of culture, and thought for a long time before he could hold back the word "ghost", and Houston on the side nodded thoughtfully.
It is estimated that he is also thinking about ghost in his heart, which should be an adjective!
Bayless slammed the ball to the floor and vented his emotions that he was going to be completely targeted on the defensive end, and I think it would have been better if Hollins had picked up Guy at this point.
After all, Guy's long arms can interfere with his shooting vision to the maximum. But Hollins had no intention of making a substitution.
Conley came up to calm Bayless's emotions and signaled that his kind of ball for anyone would have the same result.
Li Ming took the initiative to ask for the ball, his mind was thinking about the previous cards, and it seemed that he still had to rely on himself.
Li Ming shook his shoulders past Miller in front of him, then got up and accelerated to the basket again, taking an exaggerated step, jumping to the left while leaning back to hit the board into the frame.
"Does this ball have a bit of a Manu flavor?" The player on the Heat bench whispered.
Yes, they were too impressed with Spurs, with Manuginobili, and even with a shadow, they were convinced in recent years.
Little Emperor LeBron James also nodded frequently at Li Ming's extreme goal just now.
Friendly reminder, although this kind of ball is awesome, but it hurts the ankle, and it is better not to imitate it easily.
Wade didn't react, this kind of ball was a common thing for him, but he paid the price, removing the meniscus from both knees, and now running in an ice bucket for half an hour at the end of each night to relieve the pain.
Miller played the ball to Anderson on the inside on the line, and Anderson pushed two Randolphs before giving the ball back to Ray Allen on the right.
This time, Bayless and Conley flew out at the same time to save the shot, but Ray Allen still chose to shoot head-on.
There it is, the ball goes in, the whistle blows, three plus one.
Once again, the American Airlines Center was plunged into a sea of joy, with fans holding up pre-prepared panels with the words "Welcome, this is your home, Ray" and waving wildly.
The live DJ also projected various three-point highlights from his SuperSonics and Celtics days on the big screen.
