Chapter 338: Beat James down and usher in a turning point
Honk!
The referee's whistle blew for a foul on James, and Zhou Yang made three free throws!
As a result, James had 3 fouls.
James was furious and rushed to the referee, trying to defend himself, but his teammates quickly pulled him away, and Spo replaced him.
Zhou Yang cheated and fouled this time, killing two birds with one stone, what a great achievement!
The Warriors fans at Oracle Arena were overjoyed, cheering in unison and taunting James.
James' face turned pale, and when he walked to the sidelines, he slammed the towel on the ground.
Then he kicked the chair.
His teammates were so frightened that they didn't dare to talk to him.
As soon as James got off the court, Wade hurriedly came up again.
Although Wade had only rested for less than two minutes.
Spo didn't dare to put Jenway underneath, it was almost like admitting defeat.
Zhou Yang made three free throws to narrow the gap to 8 points.
The Heat attack.
Wade is still very fierce, as soon as he gets on the court, he bursts into the basket and plays a 2+1!
It can be regarded as avenging James.
Unfortunately, Wadegar missed the free throw, and the Warriors launched a counterattack.
Haslem came on instead of James, and he was okay defensively, but far worse than James.
Zhou Yang took advantage of his unstable foothold and directly made a super long three-point shot!
Swish!
Three-point hit!
Wade shook his head angrily.
He worked hard to chisel 2+1, and he didn't hit the penalty yet, but Zhou Yang turned around and was a three-point!
For the remaining minutes of the second quarter, Wade really struggled.
He knew that James was not there, and he was the strongest offensive point of the Heat.
Although Bosh also has an advantage in the face of Turkoglou, with Chandler in the field, the inside line will not take much advantage after all.
The Warriors slowly caught up with the score.
With 19 seconds left in the second quarter, the two teams were tied again!
61:61!
Heat offense!
Wade slowly dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and waited for five or six seconds left before activating again.
Who knows, when Zhou Yang had 8 seconds left, he suddenly shouted, and he and Tony Allen rushed over and wrapped Wade.
Wade was startled and hurriedly passed the ball to Bosh.
But Chandler rushed out of the penalty area ahead of time, jumped high, and intercepted it in the air!
There are 5 seconds left in the game.
Chandler grabbed the ball in his hand, flicked it horizontally, and threw the ball to Curry.
Curry pushed forward, and Chalmers knew that Curry also had the ability to shoot from a distance, so he kept his guard close and didn't give him a chance to shoot.
Zhou Yang and Tony Allen split into two ways, and after half the court, Curry immediately passed the ball to Zhou Yang.
At this time, Wade and Haslem rushed towards Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang didn't hit hard, he saw Tony Allen being released, and immediately stuffed the ball through the crack.
Although Tony Allen's projection is average, his fast break is still sharp.
A player who can enter the NBA, even if it is a blue-collar worker, he is the Jordan of his own story.
When they were in high school or college, they were also masters of scoring.
Rodman, a pure blue-collar player like Jordan Jr., who is familiar to fans, is a big killer in college!
Tony Allen goes to the basket and scores two points!
It left 0.3 seconds for the Heat.
The fans of Oracle Arena were so excited, they didn't expect to be suppressed for two quarters, and at the last moment, they even surpassed by 2 points!
The Heat sent a baseline ball, and Wade made a long pass and threw it directly out of the baseline line.
At halftime, the score came to 63-61, and the Warriors led by two points.
The key point that the Warriors can reverse is that Zhou Yang made that three-point foul for James.
Without James, the Heat will definitely not be able to withstand the Warriors' onslaught.
In the T-NT live broadcast room, Barkley looked a little excited.
"Is Zhou Yang really a second-year rookie? The ball quotient is scary! ”
"It's really too mature, the other players of the Warriors are a little nervous or at a loss, only Zhou Yang has been so stable!"
"Yes, there are too many talented players, but it is really rare to reach the supergiant level psychologically."
"If the Heat can't play a strong offensive game in the second half, the Warriors may have to take a 2-0 lead."
"It's hard to say, the Heat only lost one point in the last game, and if they adjust in time today, there is still hope."
"Who would have thought that the Heat Big Three, who were favored by most people before the finals, would be suppressed by the Warriors or Zhou Yang."
"The Heat may be a little underwhelming."
……
In the Warriors locker room, Zhou Yang did not talk about the game with his teammates, but talked about family life.
"Barbossa, do you have your birthday next week? Let's give it to you together, you pick the place, and I'll pay for it! ”
Barbossa scratched his head and said with a smile: "Second Brother Yang, do you remember my birthday?" ”
"Of course, didn't you tell the old man the other day? I know it all! ”
Curry also echoed beside him: "It's just right, while playing in the finals, I will celebrate Barbossa's birthday at the same time, and I won't delay it!" ”
Chandler and Barbossa also had a good relationship, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, then let's use a victory to celebrate Barbossa's birthday!" ”
"That's right! Celebrate your birthday with victory! ”
Barbossa was touched and he was thrilled to be part of the Warriors family.
When he was first signed, several teams expressed interest in him, but Barbossa chose the Warriors.
Because the Warriors' star is a young man, Barbossa feels that the atmosphere in the team should be good.
But unexpectedly, the atmosphere is really good, and his statistics are a little higher than last year.
Who doesn't love a team atmosphere like winning, having good stats, taking care of each other in the team, and laughing all day long?
Of course, the main reason for the good atmosphere in the dressing room is that the team has to win more games.
If it's always the team that loses, the dressing room will certainly not be so harmonious.
……
The second half began.
The main lineups of both sides appeared.
For a team of the same level, the third quarter is very important.
The stats show that most of the teams that can take the lead in the third quarter will win the entire game.
Therefore, as soon as the Heat team came up, they worked hard.
James not only played more resolutely on the offensive end, but also spared no effort on the defensive end and was very active.
He rested most of the second quarter, and he was very energetic and omnipresent.
Zhou Yang and Curry were subjected to an unprecedented high-intensity confrontation, and their shooting percentage began to decline compared with the first half.
Fortunately, the Heat's shooting rate was not high, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
The game lasted 5 minutes, and the combined scores of both sides did not exceed 10 points.
With 5:26 left in the third quarter, the score came to 66:65 and the Heat led by one point.
Although the shooting percentage of both sides was not high, the physical exertion was high, and Nelson Sr. called a timeout first.
"How's your strength, kids? Who needs to rest, say it now, don't hold on! Old Nelson and the team members high-fived one by one and shouted with concern.
Tekoglu was indeed a little tired, and he raised his hand to take a break.
Curry shook his head and said, "I'm okay, I can keep doing it!" ”
Needless to say, Zhou Yang will definitely play the third quarter.
