Chapter 267: Ending Brother Basketball (10,000 Words Chapter)
G3 and G4 in the finals can be regarded as a life-and-death battle for the Heat team, and once the Thunder team gets the match point, there is a high probability that the finals will be gone.
After all, as of 2012, no team in the history of the NBA league Finals has been able to turn the tables 1:3.
Therefore, on the night of the 19th, when the Thunder started very well, the Heat once again turned on the physical confrontation mode.
Li Ze began to play more without the ball, and with the game going 3-of-3 in the first half of the game, the Heat coaching staff tried to strangle another core player of the Thunder.
Kevin Durant also looked easy to get a couple of one-on-one singles opportunities after the opening.
In the next few rounds, LeBron James and Sean Battier began to guard against Durant's catch, asking for the ball on the wing, all half-around the front defense, and immediately covering the blocking area.
This kind of defensive strategy was actually implemented in the first two games, but it was the home court of the Thunder, and too much physical contact would soon put the Heat into a state of free throws.
But back at the American Airlines Arena, that kind of trouble doesn't exist.
Fortunately, even if Durant was strangled as an offensive point with the ball, the Thunder could still score consecutive points by relying on Turtle, Li Ze, Ibaka, and Perkins.
The first quarter of the game played more than 7 minutes, and the two sides began to alternate leads.
In the Heat's offensive round, Chalmers dribbled across the half court and immediately gave the ball to LeBron James on the right wing outside the three-point line.
The Heat's offensive strategy was that the rest of the players had to play without the ball, and Chris Bosh took advantage of Battier's cover and quickly moved up to the left elbow of the free throw line.
LeBron James's pass was fast, and as soon as Bosh stood still, he immediately received the pass, ignoring Ibaka, who was rotated up by the defense, and quickly jumped from mid-range!
"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.
The Heat fans at the scene cheered, and at 17:18, the Heat overtook the score again.
After quickly driving the baseline ball, Turtle dribbled past half court, immediately completed a high block with Ibaka outside the three-point line, got rid of Chalmers' defense, and then accelerated with the ball in his right hand.
Chalmers lost his defensive position and pulled Turtle's left arm directly when he was chasing after him, disrupting the attack in an instant.
"Squeak!"
The referee immediately blew for a foul, and Coach Spo, who was on the sidelines, immediately clapped his hands and signaled that it was a good defensive option, and the assistant coach began to remind the Heat players that there was one more chance to foul.
Turtle Turtle was a little angry by the opponent's continuous fouls, Li Ze hurriedly signaled his teammates to stabilize, the opponent was about to enter the state of punishment, and the offensive end must be patient.
Serving on the sideline, the turtle came back to the top of the arc to receive the ball, Li Ze started in the bottom corner of the left side, ran without the ball to the left wing, successfully came to the line, and then cut directly from the wing with the help of Perkins' cover.
Although Wade was not slow to chase and defend, Li Ze, who cut without the ball, received the pass, and did not care about the physical confrontation on his side at all, and quickly combined the ball after dribbling a step, rushed up in three steps, and directly killed the penalty area.
Bosh didn't switch defenses at all this round, and quickly jumped up to block under the basket, while Wade on his side also jumped to interfere.
In the face of the defense of the two, Li Ze rode a horse and shot arrows, leaned back in the air, and with his excellent stagnation, when the two began to fall, he twisted his body and threw with one hand with his right hand.
“OH! Flips it up and in! ”
Commentator Mike Brin exclaimed again, in the first quarter of the game, Li Ze's every attack was a difficult goal, and Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary seat immediately exclaimed:
"A simple off-ball cut, the Heat's defense is in place, and Kayce once again showed his great physicality!"
The Heat fans at the scene erupted into huge boos again, Wade and Bosh both broke the defense a little, this can also go in?
Li Ze, who completed the goal, hurriedly reminded his teammates to retreat quickly, and the opponent's role players seemed to continue the form of the previous game tonight, and the shooting rate was particularly high after the opening.
In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Heat team no longer cared about fouls, and saw Li Ze receiving the ball, and the players who assisted in the defense rushed directly into people.
In this case, in addition to hitting two free throws, Li Ze hit two breakthroughs in the back.
And Wade, who has put a lot of effort on the defensive end, has also begun to pull his hips on the offensive end.
Too many physical confrontations, two mid-range shots, but Mike Miller, who came off the bench, hit two three-pointers in a row to help stabilize the situation for the Heat.
At the end of the first quarter, at 23:24, the Heat, supported by the home whistle, once again used a biting defense to bring the game back to their familiar rhythm.
"Fack! Shit whistle, the Heat should go play football! ”
Durant returned to the bench and immediately complained, as long as James encounters Durant's defense, he basically relies on playing twice, and then breaks through with the ball, jumps to the basket, and hits Durant without temper.
And unlike Durant's imagination, despite getting a lot of opportunities to hold the ball, the second half of the quarter continued to be trapped, which made him play more and more inefficient.
Too much physical confrontation also affected his hand, which made him miss the flying cakes sent by Li Ze in the 1-4Flat tactic.
Li Ze could clearly feel that his teammates were a little anxious, and comforted him loudly:
"After doing a good job of defending and having too many physical confrontations, the opponent's outside shooting percentage will definitely drop, and then our opportunity will come!"
Coach Brooks pulled out his tactics board and reminded his players loudly:
"Be patient, the opponent made a lot of packs, we had a chance to hit the ball into the open space, everyone has to be ready to catch the ball and shoot, Collisson, after coming on the court, there is a chance in the middle range, make a decisive shot!"
This is also a flaw in the Thunder's lineup, Perkins and Ibaka have no problem eating cakes under the basket, but sometimes they can't play in the middle distance, coupled with the heavy task on the defensive end, as the game deepens, the shooting rate will gradually decline.
In the second quarter of the rotation lineup, the Heat Big Three continued to play, and in the first quarter of the game, the three only rested for 42 seconds, Norris Kerr replaced Chalmers, and Mike Miller replaced Battier.
The Thunder also rotated seven players, with Soflosa replacing the Turtles and Collison replacing Perkins, and both sides were bound to win this game.
The Heat fans at the scene saw Li Ze holding the ball and dribbling through the halfcourt, and immediately cheered for the home team's defense:
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
As soon as Li Ze came to the top of the arc, Norris Cole gave up Soflosa's defense and stepped forward with Wade to cover it as soon as possible.
He took a big step with the ball in his left hand, then immediately jumped up and passed the ball to Sovlosa on the right flank.
Despite the wide opening, Sovrosa did not shoot immediately, opting to cut in with the ball.
Seeing Mike Miller come out to help defend, he quickly fed the ball to Collison, who was near the baseline on the right, who received the ball and hit a two-point iron from the middle distance.
The rebound was protected by Bosh, and the Heat immediately launched a transition offense.
LeBron James rushed directly after receiving the ball, and although Durant stepped forward for the first time to delay, he was still crushed into the paint area, jumped big and completely carried Durant.
The right hand was lightly thrown, and as soon as the ball was shot, LeBron James heard the exclamations of the fans in the ears.
"Oh!"
Li Ze, who was fully retreating, jumped high and directly sent out the pegboard cap, the ball bounced to the rebound and collapsed far away, but fortunately, Collison, who came back from the defense, controlled the ball as soon as possible, and saw Li Ze start again and immediately got on the ball.
Everyone on the Heat team hurriedly retreated, Li Ze held the ball quickly, and after rushing through the halfcourt, Wade immediately stepped forward to delay, wanting to disrupt Li Ze's dribbling rhythm with an almost collisional defense.
After the two fought physically, Wade found that Li Ze only slowed down slightly, and his heart was ruthless, and he immediately cut the ball while marching.
Li Ze had already prepared, and the moment the other party stretched out his hand, his body directly exerted force, and his right shoulder slammed into Wade.
The confrontation in the march knocked Wade into a stumble, and LeBron James, who aimed at the behind, rushed up again, took off directly after the free throw line, and after gliding in the air, he buckled with one arm with his right hand!
"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!
The Heat fans at the scene subconsciously exclaimed, crashed into Wade, and could take off from a long distance, beast! Wade rubbed his chest, anger swelled in his heart, and he immediately glared at Li Ze, who had retreated
LeBron James, who was chasing defense, was also a little depressed, as long as Li Ze jumped late, he felt that he would definitely be able to send a chasing hat, but he ran like crazy, but in the end he could only serve from the bottom line.
For several rounds in a row, the Heat frantically wrapped up Li Ze and Durant, and when the role players were unable to complete the offense, the head coach of Brooks immediately called a timeout and regained the tortoise.
Sofloza has no problem defending, but the outside refusal is too bad.
The Heat team is also uncomfortable, too much package defense, you need to pay more defense, LeBron James in addition to marking Durant, sometimes have to switch to Li Ze, which makes the defensive end consume a lot of physical energy.
After a series of irons, in the second half of the second quarter, both sides switched to the main lineup, while the defensive action became more and more big.
In the Thunder offensive round, Li Ze slipped from left to right on the bottom line, moved to the right bottom corner, and when he came to the vicinity of the three-second zone, he suddenly accelerated, and with the help of Perkins' cover, he immediately popped up in the direction of the top of the arc.
Wade desperately chased the defense, saw Li Ze receiving the ball outside the three-point line, quickly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, and then was directly dumbfounded in the next second.
Receiving the ball and turning around, jumping shots, in one go, Wade felt that Li Ze didn't look at the basket at all.
“That's good! Kayce Hits the three! ”
Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and the Heat fans at the scene saw Li Ze pointing his finger to the gun, blowing arrogantly, and was immediately so angry that he began to scold the street loudly.
In the last three minutes of the second quarter, with Wade's offense sluggish, LeBron James made a sudden pass.
Chalmers and Mike Miller responded from the left and right wings outside the three-point line, leaving the score still deadlocked.
At halftime, at 49:50, the Heat still maintained a one-point lead.
"It looks like tonight's game is going to be a defensive battle, and the Thunder's offense has been greatly affected!"
Kayce started to lose efficiency in the second quarter, and of course he was still the best player on both teams with 18 points on 6-of-11, 2-of-5 three-pointers, and 4-of-4 free throws in the half.
"LeBron James scored 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting in the first half and dished out five assists, which was also very good, and the Heat went 5-of-11 from the field in the first half, and the role players managed to continue the hot touch of the previous game."
Jeff Van Gundy likes this kind of rhythm, low number of rounds, and constant muscle collision, which makes him more and more excited, and his comments are also lighthearted.
In the third quarter of the game, the Thunder took the lead in attacking, and at halftime, Coach Brooks did not make any tactical adjustments.
The turtle and turtle were transported through the half, and it was a "V" position, and in the first round, I saw that Li Ze and Durant were both strictly guarded.
The turtle at the top of the arc used Perkins' cover to get rid of Chalmers' defense, took a step inside the three-point line, and scored a two-point pull-up jump shot! The attack took only 11 seconds.
The Heat team was not affected, and after Chalmers dribbled through the half, he found that the Thunder team was still a joint defense, and he immediately frowned a little, and the Thunder team did not change their defensive strategy.
LeBron James is still receiving the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, facing Li Ze's defense, observing the running of his teammates, but this time the Thunder's defense is very tight, and there is no good opportunity for a while.
In this case, James immediately broke through with the ball in his left hand, without blocking and dismantling, and was directly blocked by Li Ze.
The speed failed to get up, James was forced to rely on the play, slammed twice, and found that Li Ze only took two small steps back, and finally turned over and threw a jump shot at the right blocking area!
"Bang!" Hit the nail in a rage!
The rebound was accepted by the turtle, and everyone on the Thunder team immediately accelerated to rush, and after halftime, the turtle threw the ball directly to Li Ze on the left wing, and after receiving the pass, LeBron James stepped forward for the first time to delay.
At the moment of receiving the ball, the left hand released the ball, James was very close to the defense, Li Ze was in and out with his left hand, quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, and then accelerated the breakthrough with all his might.
James hurriedly slid backwards, and when he was close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was moving, suddenly dribbled the ball under his left crotch, and then directly closed the ball.
Rushing to start and stop, LeBron James sliding too much inertia and was too late to pounce, so he could only watch Li Ze shoot quickly outside the three-point line!
"Huh!" Convert three points and hit it steadily!
The Heat team had just finished retreating, but found that Li Ze had hit a three-pointer, and a huge boo erupted in the American Airlines Arena.
LeBron James was a little numb, and Li Ze's emergency stop put a lot of pressure on his knees, and he finally experienced the feelings of his good brother Wade.
Seeing the other party's surprised eyes, Li Ze just chuckled, the badge was not upgraded to gold, and he wouldn't make too many emergency stop actions, but with multiple body consumption attribute badge bonuses, he didn't care much about these.
After retreating, Li Ze once again called on his teammates to continue to defend, the positional offense is indeed not easy to play, but as long as he seizes the opportunity to convert, he can still form a short 1-on-1, and this kind of opportunity is what the current Thunder team needs.
“Let's go Heat! Let's go Heat! Let's go Heat! ”
The Heat fans at the scene saw that the team was behind and immediately began to cheer loudly.
The Thunder's defense is also playing with its life at this time, and everyone can see that James' single efficiency is not high, as long as he can strangle the rest of the Heat team, the game will return to the rhythm of the Thunder.
The Turtles took the initiative to defend Wade in the second half, and the Thunder turned into a half-man defense in this round, Ibaka continued to be in charge of sweeping, and Perkins kept an eye on James' movements.
The Heat went back and forth, and finally it was James who broke through in the tank, and although Li Ze was slammed into the paint area, Perkins' contraction back defense allowed James to stop the ball directly in the three-second zone.
Feeling that the offensive time was approaching, James threw the ball to Bosh who came out to respond, and hit the mid-range whistle jumper!
Another burst of exclamations erupted in the American Airlines arena, Ibaka accepted the rebound, Durant received the ball and pushed the transition offense, Wade stepped forward to delay, and Durant immediately split the ball.
Transferring the ball quickly and continuously, Li Ze received the ball on the left flank after half the court, and released the ball with his right hand.
LeBron James, who defended this time, was full of aggression and immediately chose to stick to the defense, as if he wanted to press Li Ze directly to the left sideline.
Seeing that James defended the right and put it to the left, Li Ze outside the three-point line slowed down slightly, and then dribbled behind his back with his right hand, and his body jumped to the left, James was overjoyed and hurriedly pressed the defense.
As a result, Li Ze, who completed the dribble behind his back in the next second, scooped the ball with his left hand, made a direct force with his right foot, retreated with the momentum, stuck to the left sideline, and shot a long-distance three-point emergency stop jump shot!
“BANG! Unbelievable”
“Kayce From downtown!”
Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and LeBron James looked at Li Ze pounding his chest and roaring, completely blinded.
Can this also go in? Using the touchline to form a pack, he had no problem with his defensive options
There was jubilation on the Thunder's bench, and the turtle was even more excited, and immediately completed the chest collision with Li Ze to celebrate, and the Heat fans at the scene broke their defense a little, and the blind chicken threw it in?
Coach Spo on the sidelines was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and the team had no problem retreating, which was completely the individual ability of the star, and the three-point shot in the conversion offense was too outrageous, and he hurriedly reminded his players loudly that they could make tactical fouls.
The point difference became 5 points, and the mentality of the Heat players changed, LeBron James didn't seem to have much confidence in his projection, and he was too focused on success rate, and he was slammed to the basket in a few rounds.
Li Ze easily predicted the opponent's offensive options, tried his best to delay every time, and cooperated with Perkins to block James.
Chris Bosh had a couple of open shots, but his 1-of-3 shot allowed the Thunder to stick to that defensive strategy.
Coach Spo's timeout didn't make any difference, and after LeBron James went 1-of-4, the Heat were forced to switch to Wade as the main offense, while scrambling for rebounds and slowing down the offensive tempo.
LeBron James rushed to the frontcourt for rebounds every round, and when the offensive efficiency of the turtle and Durant dropped, the Thunder immediately changed their offensive strategy.
In this offensive round, Turtle Turtle passed half the court and immediately signaled to play a cross-cut tactic, and Li Ze used the double cover of Ibaka and Perkins on the line to run sideways from right to left.
When the left wing outside the three-point line received a pass, he was swaying, and Battier, who was forced to switch defenses, did not shake, but adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, and immediately raised his right hand high to seal the defense.
Noticing that Chalmers on the line seemed to be ready to wrap again, Li Ze protected the ball with both hands, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity, and made a quick tentative step with his right foot, and Battier's defense subconsciously shrank back.
Li Ze seized this moment, quickly retracted his feet, and then directly exerted force under his feet, resisted Battier's defense, and shot a dry jump shot on the left wing outside the three-point line!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow net!
Seeing Li Ze smiling at him, Battier was completely dumbfounded, is this still a person?
“OH! OH! My god! ”
"Incredible goal! Battier's defense was almost in the face, Kayce couldn't even see the basket, and the Heat were in trouble! ”
Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary booth screamed directly, and the unified defense of the American Airlines Arena began to become chaotic, and many Heat fans were speechless and hugged their heads and shouted God.
With an 8-point difference, the two teams held each other for a long time, Li Ze broke the deadlock again, and Coach Spo couldn't care about the number of timeouts, so he asked for a timeout again in a short time.
LeBron James, who returned to the bench, didn't say a word, his good brother Wade was 1 of 4, Bosh was 2 of 4, and after the Thunder suddenly became a mark-to-man defense, the role players couldn't eat the pie and had to take the pot
And Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, also thoroughly experienced the bonus effect brought by the [Green Machine] badge at this time.
It's somewhat similar to the [Enter the Rhythm] badge, but this badge seems to add physical stats.
He felt his reaction speed seem to speed up a bit, but perhaps due to the low level of the badge, the effect was not obvious.
"Keep on the defensive, guys! Seize the opportunity to switch attacks, victory is in sight, hold your ground, no conversion, but also be patient, we are already 8 points ahead! ”
Coach Brooks reminded his players loudly that in the final moments, as long as they made fewer mistakes, the game would be more than half stable.
Durant didn't care about any statistics at this time, the game was more difficult than he imagined, and he found his shortcomings again, even if he was almost trained with a weak side hand, but he still had a hard time handling the ball in the face of the bag.
Most of the time, after the pack, the ball will delay the team's offensive rhythm, knowing that the inside player has a vacant opportunity, but in the face of the bag of two strikers, the ball just can't pass.
"Russell, let it go, we're already ahead!"
Back on the court, Li Ze hurriedly told the turtle turtle that the Heat's small lineup is very mobile, the defensive rotation speed is fast, Durant is not good at handling the ball, and the turtle's breakthrough and mid-distance even if it hits the iron, it is better than being forced to make mistakes.
After all, the opponent has already committed 4 fouls, and if you work hard, you can stand on the free throw line again.
Turtle patted his chest, saying that he understood that there were more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter of the game, and the Heat team had consecutive break-through shots for several rounds.
However, the turtle's mid-distance blocking and dismantling was suddenly accurate, and he responded continuously, although the score difference did not shrink, but the Heat did not mess up.
In this attack, after Bosh blocked and dismantled, Wade accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, easily got rid of the turtle defense, Ibaka subconsciously assisted in the defense, Wade quickly divided the ball, and Mike Miller, who came on as a substitute, in the bottom corner of the right side, received the ball and threw it!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
The American Airlines Arena suddenly erupted in loud cheers, and the Heat fans at the scene were so excited that they screamed.
Li Ze motioned to his teammates to steady, and at the same time immediately turned on the [Enter Rhythm] Buff, and the score difference must be maintained.
It was the same high pick-and-roll, and the Turtles had just gotten rid of Chalmers, and Mike Miller was immediately delayed.
Immediately giving the ball to Ibaka, the Heat's defense quickly rotated, Mike Miller immediately returned to defense, and Ibaka stopped the ball at the top of the arc.
Perkins immediately came to the left elbow of the free throw line to respond, and after receiving the pass, Ibaka immediately ran to the right side near the baseline to stand and open up the offensive space.
Wade noticed the offensive gesture made by the turtle, and immediately guessed that it was Li Ze who received the ball again, and Li Ze in the bottom left corner quickly started, and Wade did not stick too close.
When Li Ze came to the flank and ran back to the bottom corner again, Wade followed as soon as possible, but when he saw Li Ze catching the ball, the ball shook and his body subconsciously pounced up, Wade felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly controlled the center of gravity of the defense.
Taking advantage of the opponent's defensive misposition, Li Ze quickly lowered his body center of gravity, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and Wade's defense was half a beat slower, so he could only slide back desperately.
After two big steps, Li Ze was keenly aware that Bosh's assistance defense came up again, and the other party seemed to want to block him at the bottom line, in this case, Li Ze, who was moving, pulled his left hand back with a large amount of hip.
Wade was forced to adjust the defensive center of gravity again, and when he saw Li Ze combine the ball, he jumped directly and immediately made a force with his feet.
But with the continuous shift of the center of gravity, the body can't keep up with the brain, and there seems to be some garlic under the feet, and the moment of jumping, it directly hits the street.
"Oh!"
In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Wade fell to the floor with a chirp, and the ball drew a beautiful trajectory and fell into the net accurately!
The American Airlines Arena instantly became extremely noisy, and Wade saw Li Ze smiling after scoring a goal, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, got up, and immediately scolded:
"Falk Squid!"
At the same time, he immediately stepped forward and swung his fist directly with his right hand, Li Ze reacted faster, opened the opponent's fist with his left hand, and then immediately hugged Wade, and the two fell directly to the camera on the sidelines.
From scoring to falling to the ground, everything happened too quickly, and as soon as everyone on the Heat team reacted, they found that Wade had been pressed to the floor by Li Ze.
On the Heat's bench, Haslem rushed up as soon as possible, but before he could get close to Li Ze, Perkins immediately rushed up and hit him hard, and the two immediately tore together.
At this moment, the American Airlines Arena was directly fried, and everyone on the Heat team held their breath and rushed up with a scream, and the staff next to them reacted quickly, and hurriedly pulled Li Ze, and the linesman dragged Wade off the floor.
Wade was completely up, and the moment he fell to the ground, he was immediately punched, his eyes were red with anger, and he stood up again and continued to rush up.
Ibaka and Turtle rushed into the crowd to give Wade two more punches, only to be separated by Bosh and the staff
"Falk squid! Never try to beat me, continue your brother basketball! ”
Li Ze, who was pulled away, immediately output, and the Thunder staff quickly pulled the players back to the bench, and the Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena began to boo the Thunder
Durant and James were the furthest apart, and before they could get forward, the two sides twisted together, and Haslem was separated by Perkins last.
"You're going to lose tonight, it's a good feeling to win two in a row!"
When James heard Durant's words, he directly left the back of the opponent's head and quickly returned to the bench, which made Durant angry, what is the spirit of hugging his thighs?
After that, the referee's blowing penalty was also very interesting, and he simply blew a first-level malicious foul of 4 people, obviously in order not to affect the follow-up game, the referee punished lightly.
In the next few minutes, the referees began to control the movements of the players on both sides, and the whistle sounded continuously, although Wade hit a three-pointer to respond, but Li Ze's free throws also helped the Thunder stabilize the situation.
At 79:73, after three quarters of the game, the Thunder reversed the game and took a six-point lead.
Coach Spo breathed a sigh of relief, 6 points difference, and the Heat withstood the third quarter, but seeing that the players were all gasping for air, he felt a little helpless, and at this critical moment, he didn't dare to use too many role players.
The sports reporters at the scene naturally noticed Li Ze's performance of scoring 13 points in a single quarter in the third quarter and 31 points in the third quarter of the game.
Crucial game, MVP stepped up again!
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat took the lead in attacking, and LeBron James saw that the Thunder had become a mark-to-man defense again, and immediately came to the left elbow of the free throw line to receive the ball.
After the three threats, he pulled out a jumper, faced Li Ze's block, and scored two points from the middle distance!
The Heat fans at the scene suddenly shouted excitedly, and the point difference was narrowed to 4 points!
The Thunder attacked, Li Ze on the right wing, two points long, the moment the ball popped up, Ibaka immediately grabbed it, and finally Bosh successfully protected the backcourt rebound.
It seems to see an opportunity to narrow the score, the Heat are very patient on offense this time, Bosh mentioned the line, and continued to make hand-to-hand passes to James and Wade,
With 12 seconds left in the offensive time, LeBron James saw Durant switch to the front of him, and immediately accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Seeing Li Ze adjust the center of gravity of defense, after receiving the ball, Wade quickly broke through the bottom line with his left hand.
Perhaps with the bonus of rage value, Wade broke through quickly, suddenly turned around in the middle of the march, directly closed the ball, grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it to the basket after jumping!
And Li Ze successfully predicted the opponent's offensive choice at the moment when the opponent turned around, and quickly jumped up to block, and before Wade in the air could react, Li Ze's left hand had already covered the ball.
The two sides exerted their forces at the same time, and in the end, Li Ze sent out the cap and directly knocked Wadegai to the ground!
“OH! Blocked by Kayce! ”
Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and the American Airlines Arena also erupted in exclamation, and Li Ze stumbled after landing, but immediately adjusted his body center of gravity and roared at the camera under the basket!
"Ahh
The ball was successfully controlled by Ibaka, and Wade, who was pulled up by James, was about to be blown up, and he was bound to dunk and finally was knocked to the ground by his hat
Everyone on the Heat team immediately retreated, and at the same time, the American Airlines arena immediately resounded with neat defensive cheers:
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
Durant took advantage of Ibaka's cover to successfully receive the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, and then immediately released the ball with his left hand, and broke through with a step, Chris Bosh immediately switched to delay, and finally Durant picked up the basket with his left hand and knocked out of the basket.
Perkins under the basket successfully grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt and immediately threw the ball to the turtle at the top of the arc, and the Thunder regained 24 seconds of offensive time.
Li Ze in the bottom corner of the left side immediately started, although Wade pulled and pulled, Li Ze still successfully received the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, and in the face of Wade's defense, he quickly released the ball with his left hand and crossed the dribble in the direction of the low line.
Wade desperately gave Li Ze a physical confrontation, constantly sliding backwards, and Li Ze's breakthrough speed was not fast, firmly protecting the ball.
When he broke through to a position close to the baseline, he exerted force under his feet, quickly retreated, faced Wade's block, and threw a backward jumper!
"Huh!" Two-point ball hollow net!
Seeing Li Ze raise his index finger and make a gesture to shut up, the Heat fans at the scene broke their defenses, and the scolding and boos immediately filled the entire arena.
The margin returned to 6 points again, and the two sides began to score consecutive goals.
After Durant didn't play well in the third quarter, the game finally found his groove in the fourth quarter, and so did LeBron James, who gradually recovered his shooting touch after being 2-of-6 in the third quarter, hitting two straight points in two consecutive rounds.
When the fourth quarter entered the official timeout, the Heat fans on the scene were already a little unbearable, and the point difference had not been narrowed.
In the first half of the game, the two sides played 14:14, and with the physical strength bottoming out, the two teams once again played extremely high shooting percentages, and there were 6 minutes and 02 seconds left in the game.
On the bench, LeBron James gasped for breath and rehydrated, feeling a little anxious.
Of course he knows what it means to lose this game, but the six-point difference, like a trench, the Thunder can always respond.
Coach Spo can only send chicken soup at this time for the players to resist.
As the final game approaches, the referees' whistles will gradually balance out, and their opponents will be two-time MVPs, the league's most popular superstars, and it will definitely be the players who will decide the winner in the final moments
After returning from a timeout, the Heat took the lead on offense.
LeBron James received the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line again, Bosh immediately stepped up to block and dismantle, James accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and Li Ze, who squeezed through the screen, immediately slid backwards.
At the moment when LeBron James jumped with the ball, Li Ze saw the opportunity, cut the ball vigorously with his right hand, the ball bounced to James's feet, and then flew out of the bottom line, and the linesman immediately signaled the ball in the backcourt.
"Hey! It's our ball! The ball was cut off by the opponent! ”
LeBron James immediately spread his hands, expressed his innocence, and tried to change the referee's decision, but the linesman saw it very clearly, so he naturally upheld the original decision, and the Heat fans at the scene also scolded the referee:
“Referee sucks! Referee sucks! Referee sucks! ”
In the next three minutes or so, the two sides began to stand on the free throw line frequently, and Coach Spo saw that the difference was still hovering at 6 points, and he was a little confused, and the Heat team's offense had no problem, but the opponent always responded.
With 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the game, Wade hit the second free throw, and the basket instantly grabbed a ball, and finally Ibaka struggled to protect the backcourt rebound.
102:97, 5 points difference, the American Airlines arena was a little quiet, Wade clapped his hands in annoyance, and everyone on the Heat team immediately retreated.
The Thunder were very patient on offense, and the trio first made consecutive hand-to-hand exchanges on the outside, forcing the Heat to switch defenses in succession.
When Li Ze was at the top of the arc, after completing a hand-to-hand pass with Turtle, he simply covered and immediately moved to the right flank.
Turtle Turtle released the ball with his left hand, faced Wade, who changed defense, accelerated in a straight line, suddenly changed direction on the three-point line at the top of the arc, stuck half of his body, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
The Heat's defensive attention was instantly attracted by the turtle turtle, LeBron James saw Li Ze suddenly move to the bottom right corner, hurriedly chased the defense, was hung up by Ibaka's cover, and hurriedly shouted out to Battier:
"Change the guard!"
Battier's physical fitness also dropped dramatically, and as soon as he reacted, he found that the turtle had completed the pass.
Seeing Li Ze receiving the ball, he immediately turned around and jumped up to pounce, but in the end he was half a beat slower, and in the exclamation of the Heat fans, he watched Li Ze jump outside the three-point line!
“BANG! BANG! ”
“Kayce For three!”
Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, the Thunder bench was jubilant, and the atmosphere team frantically threw up their towels, and the victory of the game was in sight!
Durant and Turtle Monster screamed and high-fived Li Ze in celebration, and everyone on the Heat team was completely numb.
Although there is 1 minute and 12 seconds left, the difference of 8 points seems to be a little too late, and most importantly, in the next round, it must be scored.
Coach Spo asked for a timeout again, and the Heat only had one short timeout left, and immediately took out the strategy board and reminded the players that it was okay to score two points quickly and three points in the open position.
At the last moment, of course, it was up to the core players, and after sending the sideline ball, noticing the Thunder's man-to-man defense, after Bosh was raised, LeBron James quickly received a hand-handed pass.
Seeing Li Ze go off the line to defend, LeBron James hesitated for a moment, but immediately accelerated with the ball in his left hand in the next second, and saw Perkins blocking the basket, James in progress suddenly stopped, and then immediately turned his back and changed hands to play.
Left blocking position, after hitting twice, the right hand held the ball on the line to crush the breakthrough, and at the moment when Ibaka assisted in the defense, he immediately threw the ball to Bosh, who was slightly stunned when he received the ball, and then found that Ibaka was back in front of him
Seeing that half of the offensive time had passed, Wade hurriedly went over to catch the ball, with the help of Bosh's blocking, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and finally stood against the defense of the turtle turtle, rode a horse and shot arrows in the paint area, and threw a shot!
"Bang!"
“Wade Gets inside! Won't goal! ”
Commentator Mike Brin also exclaimed when he saw Wade miss.
The ball hit the front of the basket and popped out of the frame, Li Ze near the paint area was quick and directly accepted the rebound, and with 52 seconds left, LeBron James immediately fouled.
"Shh
In the American Airlines arena, there was a huge boo again, and Heat fans knew that sending Li Ze to the free throw line was basically giving away points.
When Li Ze hit two free throws steadily, Coach Spo used the last timeout.
The Heat bench was silent, and Wade returned to his seat and immediately threw his towel in anger, believing that his good brother James shouldn't pass the ball, and it was better to get to the free throw line than to pass the ball
In the final moments, although LeBron James hit a quick two-pointer, the Heat did not take a timeout, even if Durant and Turtle each missed a free throw, the Heat were still powerless.
Mike Miller missed the last three-pointer, the Thunder stopped attacking, and the American Airlines arena was filled with the scolding of Heat fans, and the big score was 1:3 behind, there was no miracle!
The buzz of the final game sounded, the turtle handed the ball to the referee, and then rushed to the bench with a strange scream, Durant raised his hands high, looking extremely excited, Li Ze laughed and shook his arms and fists, and everyone smiled.
At 109:101, the Thunder team finally won the game with difficulty and successfully got the match point, with a big score of 3:1 in the finals, and the championship is already beckoning to them!
Win with a grin, lose MMP! LeBron James completely broke the defense, and after the game, he walked to the players' tunnel with a blank face, and he didn't want to shake hands with everyone on the Thunder team at all
"This is the most exciting Finals so far, the two sides played the ultimate offense and defense, and Kayce once again showed the strength of MVP!"
"Played 44 minutes, 12-of-21, 6-of-11 three-pointers, 10-of-10 free throws, 40 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 1 turnover, and played a perfect performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!"
Jeff Van Gundy has completely turned into Li Ze Blow, and Mike Brin on the side looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and simply praised the performance of other players:
"Durant scored 27 points, Westbrook 20 and the Thunder trio scored 87 points, and they had an impeccable performance tonight."
Of course, LeBron James was 10 of 20, 8 of 9 free throws, 28 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers, quasi-triple-double data, and his performance was also very bright, Wade 23 points, Bosh 20 points, and the Big Three also played well.
"I look forward to the next good game for us."
“.”
Ameika's reporters didn't immediately mock the Heat's performance after the game, but most retweeted last year's tweet.
Since 1947, there has never been a 1:3 reversal in the history of the NBA Finals.
The tweet of last year's Finals is also applicable to this year, and when the Heat fans swiped Twitter that night, they were suddenly angry to death, repeating last year's story?
The Heat have less than two days to adjust, and G5 will officially start on the 21st, and 99% of ball critics believe that the Thunder will definitely win this year's championship.
Back at the hotel, the Thunder celebrated briefly, and the team's uniform team had already begun to prepare championship t-shirts and hats.
The staff in Russia are also preparing to fly non-stop to Miami, the second championship in team history, and no one wants to miss this moment.
"It's nice to win at home, I want to experience what it's like to win at home!"
As soon as Durant's words fell, the atmosphere group immediately began to discuss the championship:
"Kevin is right, if he wins the championship in Russia, the atmosphere will definitely be better, but winning the championship away from home will not have much impact."
"Anyway, the championship parade is not held immediately, the day after tomorrow the game is over, and you can have a championship party when you return to Russia."
Li Ze also completely relieved himself at this time, turning the tables against the wind, it doesn't exist, just the post-game public opinion is enough for the Heat team to drink a pot, and the topic will definitely gradually become presumptuous in the past two days
"Tomorrow morning's training session will be cancelled, and then follow social media after winning the championship, and rest early for both days!"
Coach Brooks was also a little inflated, giving the players a half-day off, which immediately made everyone cheer.
After Li Ze returned to the room, he saw all kinds of blessing text messages on his mobile phone, and immediately smiled.
After a simple shower, Li Ze lay down on the big bed, opened INS, and immediately received a bunch of messages, but when he saw the private message from his blonde sister, his scalp suddenly went numb:
“I will give you a baby If you win the Championship!”
"I'm going to die, the blonde sister hasn't died yet."
