The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 287 The Perfect Curtain Call

June 2012, 6, Miami.

This is destined to be a day that will be recorded in history. This is the 2011nd game of the Phoenix Suns 2012-82 season, the 16th playoff game, and the 4th finals game. defeat……

The sun holds the match point, and according to the usual practice, the NBA has put the Larry O'Brien Cup on the sidelines, and the golden trophy burns the soul of the Miami people.

League president David Stern, special assistant Adam Silva and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, who is responsible for awarding the FMVP trophy, all sat on the sidelines.

They are waiting for the award ceremony in 48 minutes.

Heat will win?

Do you believe?

Gentry changed the starting lineup:

Nash, Hill, Iguodala, Tu Man, Yao Ming

Grant Hill has made it clear that he will retire after playing this season. Although he has maintained a healthy body this season, he is very clear that this is due to Gentry's rotation and the care of Dr. Carter.

40 years old, experienced an undefeated season, and won a championship.

Could there be a more perfect ending than this?
It's time to say goodbye!

Behind the players' bench, sat his support team:
Daddy Calvin Hill, former NFL superstar
Mother Janet Hill, former first lady and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's best friend

Wife Tamia Hill, four-time Grammy-nominated singer
the children, and the former president and current secretary of state

……

This is why Gentry put Hill in the starting lineup. This is the last game of the superstar Grant Henry Hill's career. He deserves a perfect curtain call!

Before the opening, Hill bid farewell to everyone in the Suns team, not even leaving a staff member behind. In the end, he hugged Dr. Carter for a full minute, and his eyes were red.

"Thank you, Thomas, for saving me!"

Doctor Carter patted him on the back with a smile:

"No no, Grant, that's not all. It's your heart that saves you, and you don't give in. No one can ever defeat you, including injuries!"

Hill went to hug his teammates again, and everyone avoided it.

Tu Man shouted from the side:
"Uncle Hill, don't rush to say goodbye, wait until you score 48 points, we still have [-] minutes to play!"

Hill shook his head, laughed and cursed:
"Go away, do you want to exhaust Uncle Hill to death?"

Everyone booed, and Nash joined in:
"Anyway, if it's less than fifty points, don't even think about ending it. At most, we'll play Grant's game again..."

Hill couldn't help but rubbed his hands and said:

"Then let me try?"

Gentry laughed:
"Try what, you are Grant Hill, go and enjoy the game!"

Throughout the game, Tu Man didn't block a shot, not a single one.

But the Heat have collapsed. From the inside out, no one believes that they can come back, and the fans are all listless.

Facing the open and no-flying sun, the Big Three still dare not rush in. Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, who knows what evil Tu Man has in mind?
In the first quarter, the Heat scored only 17 points.

詹姆斯6投2中，三分球3投1中，罚球2罚1中，得到6分。

韦德7投2中，三分球1投0中，得到5分。

波什5投1中，三分球2投0中，得到2分。

查尔莫斯2投1中，罚球2罚2中，得到4分。

For the rest, zero.

The tempo of both sides is very slow. The Heat are powerless. They can't break through the iron chain of the Suns.

The Suns, on the other hand, were unwilling to spoil Grant Hill's curtain call, preferring to play slower, let the old guy play a few more minutes, and never fight back quickly...

This attitude is concentrated in Tuman, who has been honestly grabbing rebounds and giving Hill a solid pick-and-roll. He can be called an elite blue-collar.

Hill's hands were very hot. In this quarter, he made 9 of 7 shots and 2 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 17 points and scored the points of the Heat alone.

The rest of them are just foils, and if it wasn't for Hill passing the ball, they would resolutely not make a shot.

Hill passes the ball, then shoot immediately!

So, Yao Ming made 3 of 2 shots, Tuman made 2 of 2 shots, Iguodala made 3 of 2 shots, Nash didn’t make a shot, and Battier, who came off the bench, made 3 of 2 three-pointers...

Hill also had 6 assists and 3 rebounds.

Counting free throws, the score is:

42:17
In the second quarter, Hill rested for half a quarter.

Gentry withdrew the starting lineup and let the third team hand over the ball. If the curtain call performances are all at garbage timing, it will be meaningless at all!

He was even a little anxious, hurry up and chase after him?

Only 25 points!

Receiving the mercy of his opponent, James finally managed to play a three-pointer. In this quarter, he made 3 of 3 shots and scored 6 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and a steal.

It wasn't until the last 3 minutes that the Heat chased the score to:
50:42
Gentry replaced Hill and Tuman, and simply let Hill play. He was a little worried that the Heat would play tricks, and he was relieved to have Tuman on the field...

Tu Man was like a mammoth, recklessly breaking through the weak formation of the Heat, Grant Hill followed up and contributed four wonderful dunks!

At the end of halftime, the score is fixed at:

58:46
In the third quarter, Gentry still sent a third team to release the water.

The starting five tigers were firmly pressed on the bench, and he was determined to play a heartbeat to make this game a classic among classics, at least in terms of statistics...

In this quarter, only Dragic and Yi Jianlian played normally.

The former made 8 of 4 shots, scored 8 points and 4 assists, while the latter made 6 of 4 shots, made 2 of 1 three-pointers, scored 9 points and 3 rebounds.

Everyone else didn't score.

The Big Three of the Heat finally gave some strength, scored 29 points together, and led the team to return to the Suns at 17:36 in the first quarter, overtaking the score:

75:82
Gentry on the coach's bench covered his mouth and let out a strange smile of "Jie Jie Jie Jie", which is interesting, and it's time to reap the game!

In the fourth quarter, the Suns started all out:

Nash, Hill, Iguodala, Tu Man, Yao Ming

Hill is already playing high, the first four offenses, relying on Yao Ming and Tu Man to clean up the paint area, and there are four elegant and violent dunks!

Gentry was so scared that he quickly called a timeout:
"Master Hill, can you fight well? Look at the faces of the support team?"

Only then did Hill restrain himself a little, broke through to split the ball, dropped the ball from the bottom, pulled up a jumper behind Tu Man, and after stealing it, he smashed Huashan with all his might...

The essence of the entire career, frame by frame is displayed in front of the Miami people.

In half a quarter, Hill made consecutive shots and passes, and while he scored 17 points, he led the Suns to hit the opponent with a 25:18 counterattack climax!
When the game fell to the last 6 minutes and 22 seconds, Hill made a bow to connect with the horizontal pull, knocked Wade to the ground, and then stopped for a jump shot to help the Suns get the overtake. The whole arena rang out enthusiastic cheers:
"MVP! MVP! MVP..."

The fans were instigated!
