You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 659 Winning is Difficult (1467)

"Boge needs to find form, other than that, everything is fine."

Wesha spoke to Greg Sager in a colorful suit at halftime.

During the regular season, Cousins ​​never had an absolute advantage against Bosh.But after being abused by Roy Hibbert in the playoffs, Bosh seemed to fall into the self-dilemma of "people like me must not be able to stand up to the serious black and tough".

In the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, Cousins ​​transformed himself into the most dominant center in the league.

他场均22分12篮板球3助攻2封盖，命中率52%。

What he did to Bosh was far worse than Hibbert.

These five games can be regarded as his masterpieces in the past three years of his career.But he is such a complicated person, as soon as he played his masterpiece, he immediately sent the worst battle of his career.It can be used as a classic case of Cousins ​​to let the world know "what kind of player DeMarcus Cousins ​​is".

The terrible thing is not his sluggish 9-of-2 shooting in the first half, but 3 fouls and 4 turnovers-he has a low shooting percentage, a fast foul speed, and frequent turnovers, but it is rare for multiple negative factors to be concentrated in one game.

And that's Cousins.

He can play terribly for a while, and when you get desperate for him, he gets better again.

In the second half, Cousins ​​seemed to abandon the bad first half, demanded the ball decisively, and launched an offense with vigor. Although he played a mess in the first half, in the third quarter, his teammates were still willing to believe in him and let him become the core of the offense.

So everyone can see that he beat Bosh's offense, grabbed backcourt rebounds, and completed a performance of 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, which almost made the Miami people bow their heads and prepare to go home to prepare for Game7.

In the fourth quarter, James broke through with the ball outside.

Cousins ​​had his worst first half since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, and James had his worst game in the Eastern Conference Finals.

从第一节就被韦夏压着打，三节打完，韦夏38分10篮板5助攻，而他只是18分8篮板6助攻。

Looking at the data, he is still very comprehensive, but the Heat have been cornered by the 76ers.

If you don't fight back, you can only go home and play the seventh game.

If he loses here, if he gets beaten by Wecha, if they go back for Game [-], if they lose Game [-], if they fail to defend their title, what will the media think of his three years in Miami?

Would Gilbert blow off a whole case of champagne over it?
His confusion, his confusion, and his worry about gain and loss put the Heat on the verge of collapse.

Even with James in this state, his breakthrough is still unstoppable.

Wei Xia asked him to take the first step, and the next steps were just for him and Cousins ​​to help defend.

Cousins ​​yelled, as if trying to scare James with his voice.He may not believe it, but none of his roar reaches James' ears.

James was thinking about other things, and he didn't notice Cousins' defense at all.

Just face-to-face layups, like playing a high school game.

Cousins ​​​​wanted to give him a big blood cap from top to bottom, and his overly positive thinking made his blocks fail to meet expectations.He hit James' ball first, and the falling palm landed on top of James' head, knocking his headband askew.

"Beep!"

The referee whistled and Cousins ​​received his fourth foul.

The pain from the top of his head brought James' attention back to the game, and he slowly took off the headband and threw it aside.

At this moment, it seemed that the demon had lifted the seal.

The prelude to the Heat's counterattack began.

The defending champion's motivation to chase the victory surpassed the 76ers.

The Heat missed a three-pointer, the rebound fell to the ground, and Wade rushed out desperately. He knew his knee couldn't bear too much impact, but he was never willing to give it up.

He saved the ball and returned it to Ray Allen.

Allen made a three-pointer.

The morale of the 76ers is melting.

Except for Wei Xia, no one else had the experience of winning the championship. Cousins' head was hot and he tried hard everywhere, but it didn't work.

Hayward played well enough in the first three quarters, but his leg injury seriously affected his efforts in the fourth quarter.

James, who took off his headband, and Wade, whose white knee pads were dyed red, brought the Heat back to life.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Heat caught up to 2 points.

The 76ers called a timeout.

Doug Collins replaced the stunned Faried and let Ryan Hollins play.

He made the worst decision ever.

During the regular season, Hollins can consume the opponent's inside line. At critical moments, life and death moments, his offensive and defensive strength is far from the level of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Even so, Wei Xia's offensive light was not blocked by anyone.

Facing Wade, he made a direct pull at the top of the arc, allowing the point difference to return to 5 points.

Facing James, Wei Xia's aggressiveness is like a flame, and his eyes breathe fire. James can see his thoughts through his eyes.

He wants to win!
From the day he left the Lakers to join the 76ers, he wanted to win.

He needs to prove himself.

He wants to prove that he can win the championship without Kobe.

He wanted to prove Old Bath wrong.

And the only way to prove yourself is to lead the team to win the championship!

After waiting for four years, he finally got this opportunity, but how could it be so simple to win?

If the victory is easy, why should James be accused by thousands of people, leave his hometown where he was born, be despised by the world, and bring his talents to the South Coast?
Winning is hard!

Wei Xia succinctly changed hands and dribbled, speeding past James.He took advantage of the position, but James chased from behind, also going all out to block his offense outside the paint area.

If the NBA is going to use someone's big hat as a label, James is the answer.

In terms of defense, he is not the best, but in terms of chasing the big hat, he is definitely the first in history.

Wei Xia knew his cap-chasing ability, and when his emotions had accumulated to that point, he could not retreat, he could only move forward, grabbing the ball with one hand and exerting force on James who was chasing up from the side.

Is that an elbow?That's right!One of the lessons Kobe taught him was that when the opponent's body blocked the referee's view, you can do whatever you want with him!

Therefore, when James got Wei Xia's elbow and was unable to take off with force, what was waiting for him was the moment when Wei Xia dunked and scored.

Wei Xia's score rose to 44 points.

It's not hard to score, but it's hard to score.

One-on-one is not difficult, one-on-five is more difficult than reaching the sky.

The 76ers' offense points to Wei Xia, and the Heat have other options besides James.

Even though there are few opponents, even if one person is difficult to defeat five people, Wei Xia still found a little life in this desperate situation. He let Hayward run to his most accurate point and pass the ball to this white small forward who was tortured by a leg injury.

He survived five games with injuries and did not disappoint.

He made a key three-pointer to keep the suspense going and keep the 76ers ahead.

The last minute is the moment when this game is remembered by history.

Wei Xia knocked James down - 47 seconds before the end, he scored a priceless three-pointer!

104 is better than 102
The 76ers overtook by 2 points, and Wei Xia's personal score reached 49 points.

If the Heat didn't respond, Wei Xia knocked James down and hit a three-pointer, which would be a classic moment of the game.But James, who has reached the peak of his career, how can he tolerate such humiliation in his most glorious year?

He waved his hands to tell his teammates to go away, and rushed into the 76ers' penalty area like a god, with a flat basket and a tomahawk dunk!

104 is better than 104
There is not much time left in the game. The 76ers wanted to pass the ball to Wei Xia, but they had no good chances, so they had to retreat and choose Cousins.

Cousins ​​just wanted to launch an offense but was fouled by the opponent.

He got to the free throw line.

At the moment of suffocation, he scored the first free throw but missed the second free throw.

Wei Xia, who realized that his own foul had not yet counted, immediately fouled James who was holding the ball and was about to counterattack.

The Heat lost their easy counterattack and scored, retreating to the outside line to serve the ball, with 28 seconds left in the game, 105 to 104.

Preventing the Heat's offense is what the 27ers need to do in the remaining 76 seconds.

Collins replaced Faried, and then asked Singler to replace Hayward. He had to ensure that the players on the court could run.

The 76ers' defense won all the respect, and the defensive cheers at the Wells Fargo Center were like thunder, and everyone in the audience was screaming, and someone broke their voices every second.

Time seemed to be running out, and yes, the Heat's offense was forced to the final seconds.

They passed the ball to James at the top of the key.

At that moment, it was Wei Xia who was in front of James. Just one second before James shot, he had already judged through the opponent's body movements that he was going to shoot, so he took off early.

James looked at Wei Xia who jumped into the air with him in shock, and raised his hand arc in horror.

Judging from his expression, he knew that this goal was impossible to score.

As long as it doesn't go in!
As long as the rebound is controlled by the 76ers!

They can go to Miami for a tiebreaker!
"boom!"

It was a missed shot that made the audience stand up, and some people started cheering, because Cousins ​​​​is the player in the best position, and this rebound must go to him!
Cousins ​​resisted Bosh, jumped fiercely, and grabbed the ball like Rodman was obsessed with rebounding. He just landed, and it was too late to hold it tightly in the palm of his hand.Beside him, Wade reached out and sliced ​​the ball away from him from behind.

The moment the ball landed, there was a weird flight curve. Cousins ​​just stood up to the people behind him. He thought the ball must belong to the 76ers, however!
"Beep!"

The referee's gesture clearly told him: "The Heat have the ball!"

"It's our ball!" Cousins ​​yelled in front of the referee, "You see clearly! I didn't touch the ball at all, they touched it out of bounds! You can watch the replay! It's our ball!"

Out of control, Cousins ​​surrounded the referee like an elusive monster.

His roar, his scream.His argument cannot be exchanged for understanding.

The referee blew his whistle again.

The moment the referee blew his whistle, he raised his hands in a T-shape!
DeMarcus Cousins ​​got his most painful technical foul yet.
