Chapter 166: In the End, there is "Heavenly King Bombing"
There was an eerie silence.
Everyone couldn't believe what their eyes had just seen.
And the picture on the big screen that will be played back every wonderful moment, and there are also various flashes at this time:
first gave a big close-up of the audience, looking at the sluggish faces, the director quickly cut the picture to the field. Coincidentally, it happened to be facing Artest who staggered to the ground after landing on the ground.
His face was also full of consternation.
Such a picture is obviously a continuous blow.
The camera can only continue to shake, but whether it is the excited Heat bench or the Pacers bench looking at each other, it is obviously not suitable to appear on the big screen at the scene.
Although this arena is large, the on-site director can't find a picture that can be played for a while.
In the TNT studio, as Barkley yelled, the camera began to replay Woody's dunk after the forced break against Artest.
In the slow-motion replay, Woody's dunk was even more domineering.
Artest interfered almost to the extreme, even in the end, he didn't lose his position, and even caused interference, but he couldn't stop Woody from completing the dunk.
Frankly, Woody's dunk wasn't a good choice.
But he can just score!
"Basketball is played to the end, and it's actually talent that is compared!" Here's how Bill Wharton read the ball.
He really couldn't find any other reason why Artest couldn't stop Woody from completing a dunk at such an extent that he couldn't stop Woody from completing the dunk.
And judging from this picture, Woody's historical-level dynamic and static talent is vividly displayed at this moment.
In the case of loss of balance in the body, with excellent arm span and coordination with the body, the spacer was still completed...... This has nothing to do with training, this kind of ball, to put it bluntly, is the ultimate talent!
Ordinary people, no, no, it should be said that even if they are ordinary stars, practicing to death, it is almost impossible to score such a goal in their lifetime.
Woody also sat down on the ground when he landed.
But there was a palpable excitement on his face.
This goal, he himself didn't expect, after being cornered by Artest, Woody had only one thought left:
Try to get the ball in the basket!
He felt that his hand could still reach the basket, so he stopped waiting and went straight to the shot.
As a result, I didn't expect to create such a big scene.
After the aerial confrontation, dunk Artest, such a dunk is enough to become the "best dunk" this season!
Shaq O'Neal ran towards Woody almost immediately, his wide-eyed eyes and almost out-of-the-box eyeballs all showed how surging his mood was at the moment.
“OMG!”
"Woody!"
"You're the real Superman!"
He was closest to the basket, holding a "vvvvip spectator ticket" to see Woody's dunk up close.
Power, difficulty, visuality......
All full!
made him unconsciously hand over the nickname that belonged to him:
Superman!
He couldn't help but want to shout at Artest:
Don't be here, why are you so miserable, who told you that you still can't figure out the difference between you and Woody, yes, he's Superman, yes, he's Superman!
It's really an exaggeration!
This dunk obviously affected Artest's state at the moment, and his first reaction to the hand reached out by his teammates to help him up was to shake his head first. At this moment, he was still a little confused.
But when he stood up, Artest's whole expression immediately returned to the original beastly nature.
This is Artest, although there are a lot of problems off the field, even if his character is obviously flawed, but on the court, he is an absolute fighter.
Tinsley chose to play hard this time.
That's what Rick Carlisle meant, and when you need someone to step up and stabilize the team, that's of course to choose the person with the most opposition gap to attack.
Alston's defense is in his eyes, and he will definitely not be able to stop the strong Tinsley.
And there was no problem with his judgment, just a simple in&out, and Alstom was shaken aside by Tinsley. As a fellow street player, Alston is much more famous on the street court than Tinsley, but on the NBA court, he has a lot more problems than Tinsley.
Defensively, he was too easily squeezed out of the way.
also knows that he has such a problem, so Alstom pays great attention to his position this round.
But it was also this point that was exploited by Tinsley, which made him shake it off directly.
Of course, these are the common characteristics of players from the field:
Poor defensive habits!
One thing is certain, that is, their basic skills are absolutely very solid.
The basic skills here do not refer to the basic skills of technique such as dribbling.
It's about some basic defensive points on the offensive end and the defensive end, as well as the choice of passing, which are difficult to really integrate into a team if they are not systematically learned.
And why Woody learns from NBA players and improves faster, because what he learns is the experience that these people have learned from their predecessors or by themselves, and they are all very practical things on the court.
That's why Woody can progress so fast.
Otherwise, even if he is talented, without the guidance of so many famous teachers, he really can't improve so fast......
But Tinsley, who entered the interior, was a little careless, and in the face of the Heat defense with the door wide open, he chose to burst to the basket and shoot the basket.
But the moment the ball was shot, he regretted it.
In front of him, the Heat's No. 95 jumped high and confiscated his ball with a slap......
Yes!
It's not a slap fly, it's a more serious confiscation than a slap fly!
Tinsley also specifically looked for the location where the ball fell, but after looking at it for a long time, he found that it was in Woody's hands.
Woody, who landed on the ground, took the ball himself and immediately pulled up his speed to push the counterattack.
Wade and Gerald Wallace ran left and right.
It's blazing fast!
In terms of athletic talent, the Heat didn't lose last season, and this season after the three of them have improved more, it is far ahead.
The Pacers are actually fast enough to defend back.
But when Artest and Jackson fell into their positions, and O'Neal Jr. and Tinsley also returned to the three-point line in time, the three of the Heat had already rushed into the three-point line together.
Woody stepped on the free throw line, a looker to the right, and a fake pass to the left, after deceiving all the people in front of him, he made a chic "gliding split", and scored 4 points in a row!
The scene fell silent again.
Drexler's eyes were opened, he saw this ball very clearly, the Pacers had four people back to defend, and only three of the Heat team were slightly faster than them, but they didn't completely break out of the encirclement!
But these three people were stunned to fight a "3-on-4" fast attack!
Is there still a royal law?
Is there still a heavenly principle?
This game really has the talent to do whatever you want, right?
Rick Carlisle's eyes were slightly painful.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
In the last round, Artest didn't have a problem defending at all, and Woody scored!
In this round, the speed of the Pacers' defense, as well as the quality of the defense, he dared to say that in this league, they said that they were second, and no one dared to say that they must be the first, but the Heat still entered!
He......
I feel so sorry for these Pacers kids on the court!
What the hell are you messing with tonight!
The Heat completely controlled the initiative at this time, because the margin came to more than 10 points.
Rick Carlisle thought about it and finally decided to call a timeout.
Looking at the Pacers players who were running the court and looking angry at the moment, he said: "Guys, we didn't make mistakes, we're doing the right thing, listen, they played really well tonight, well, I have to say that, they did what they shouldn't have scored, but we have to accept it, that's the court, it's allowed to happen on the court, but trust ourselves, we're doing the right thing, as long as we keep going, then things will change......"
As a representative head coach of the academy, Carlisle has always played tactics, but this "chicken soup" at this moment is really good.
The Pacers, who are back on the court, have been a lot more stable.
Tinsley held the ball up front and called O'Neal Jr.'s pick-and-roll, and the others were also actively running.
However, the momentum of the Heat team at this time was too strong, and they quickly blocked the Pacers' cooperation this time. But the Pacers, on their part, also showed patience, and the ball was given back to Tinsley's hands.
Re-running, passing, O'Neal Jr. and Foster suddenly "had a flash of inspiration" in front of the "reasonable collision zone", successfully got rid of Woody, cut the basket in the air, put the ball on the basket, and completed the goal.
They played very patiently in this round and it was that patience that rewarded the team and made the team more positive and confident.
The Indians showed their resilience at this moment.
The point difference began to slowly catch up.
At 3:24 in the fourth quarter, with Reggie Miller's three-point goal, they narrowed the gap to just 1 point!
From the second quarter to the fourth, from a 10-point gap to a 1-point gap, it wasn't fast, but with the patience of the Pacers, they brought the victory back to a one-goal difference.
Everyone's face was even more excited.
Pacers fans looked at them and felt like they were all glowing.
"This team has become a better team tonight!"
Since the Pistons sang the "Civilian Anthem" on the stage of the Finals in June this year, basketball is a five-player game has once again become the main theme among the media, and the Pacers are like another Pistons.
They don't have the talented, the most popular big players, but together they are so hard to beat.
Even the Heat, who are currently in hot form, even if they were almost broken up by the Heat's offense. But they slowly rebalanced the scales of victory.
Next......
It's about winning!
The biggest advantage of the Pacers' defense is that they can take care of both inside and outside.
O'Neill Jr. made a stop in the middle, and the outside line Jackson and Artest were natural barriers.
Woody faced Artest face to face, and the ball that completed the dunk was certainly explosive, but how many times can such a goal come?
In the face of Artest, who was getting more and more scrappy, Woody's catch became more difficult.
This is one of the main reasons why the Pacers can slowly recover the point difference.
Another important reason is that the Heat can't stop the Pacers' offense.
Don't look at the Pacers' starting lineup, they just swapped Reggie Miller for Jackson.
But this is the difference from an average of 11 points per game to an average of 19 points per game, coupled with Artest's improvement on the offensive end this season, and an increase of nearly 10 points, this Pacers team can completely "blossom more".
On the Heat side, because of the arrival of Shaq O'Neal, the interior defense basically relies on Woody.
And in the case that the opposite side can bloom more, he is not unable to do everything.
You must know that what he is facing tonight is Artest, the "fighting monster".
And tonight Jackson was in really good shape, hitting multiple three-pointers before, saving the team from the outside, and entering the second half, he scored 11 points in the third quarter alone. He has completely shown his role in joining this team.
Some players can make their fans fall in love with them just by playing a game.
Jackson tonight is one such player.
It was also this back and forth, and the Heat were slowly caught up with the point difference.
The atmosphere of the scene gradually began to become hot as the score difference approached, and all kinds of cheering voices were endless.
Stan Van Gundy called a timeout at this point, and this time instead of looking at Woody again, he looked at Shaq O'Neal: "It's your turn, man, you're here to get the game done!" ”
Shaq O'Neill shook his hands and expressed his attitude with actions.
Back on the court, he also took the initiative to receive the ball in a row, and then used his unparalleled finishing ability to make the difference back to 5 points in 3 minutes.
At this time, Rick Carlisle realized that Woody, who had made a big fuss, turned out to be a bait.
In Woody's continuous singles with the ball, the entire defense of the Pacers began to change, and the originally shrunken basket was unconsciously empty, and O'Neal Jr.'s position was getting closer and closer to the free throw line.
The way Woody stood outside the three-point line with the ball made Artest scratch his ears and cheeks, and it really changed the Pacers' defensive formation.
And in this way, Shaq O'Neill naturally has room to show his talents.
You know, he hasn't done much in this game!
Foster was easily blown out and the Pacers were resilient for the whole game, but as Shaq O'Neal stepped up and destroyed their interior and stretched the margin away, their resilience was directly hit.
The game was scorching and quickly lost its suspense.
With a 96-88, 8-point difference, the Heat walked away from the Pacers' home court.
Rick Carlisle's expression couldn't hide the pain in his face anymore, and in the end, he found that there was a "king fried" opposite, which is not uncomfortable!
