Chapter 414
Cannavaro is bound to win this triple-double.

Although the Lone Ranger is 7 points behind the Heat, there is still a quarter of the game, and the suspense still exists, but there seems to be no suspense about Cannavaro getting his fourth triple-double.

1 rebound, and the Lone Ranger is still ahead of the Heat in terms of rebounds. All 10 players on the field scored rebounds. Kalutel scored a double-double of 15+10 in three quarters. Cannavaro's rebounds are second only to Kalutel.

In the NBA, players still value triple-double data very much. For this reason, the NBA has specially established many rankings and records related to triple-doubles.

When Scola marked Cannavaro's data on the tactical board, the players knew what it meant.

"It's only one rebound away." Barrett said slowly, "It's not too late to tell us now." This triple-double has already shown an unstoppable momentum.

Scola shook his head lightly, revealing a smirk. He did it on purpose. Before that, he always wanted the players to hide Cannavaro's stats, and deliberately told them when they were only one rebound away, so as to stimulate the team's ability to grab rebounds to the greatest extent.

With only one rebound missing, the Lone Ranger team is bound to help Cannavaro complete a triple-double and give him priority when grabbing rebounds. If this is the case, then the rebounding pressure on the Heat will be too great. There is no room for them to be careless, and Cannavaro will be fulfilled if they are not careful.

Scola's way of stimulating the team is really ingenious, but it also has a certain degree of challenge, which has successfully stimulated the interest of the players.

"It seems that this rebound must be protected." In an instant, the players reached a consensus that this rebound must be protected. After all, no one has been able to get a triple-double from the Heat for 7 consecutive seasons.

The Heat don't want this to continue to be broken, so they will pay special attention to the opponent's triple-double data. It is precisely because Scola understands the mentality of the players that he made such a decision.

However, it is not easy to overwhelm the Lone Ranger in the control of rebounds. European players are notoriously fierce in rebounding, and even use some methods that are on the edge of the rules to get the ball. After all, before the referee's whistle sounds, any action and behavior is in line with the rules.

Scola is indeed the coach Barrett admires the most. He can always stimulate the potential of players in unexpected ways. This is one of the important reasons why he chose to join the Heat during the offseason and rejected the other 17 teams.

The 7-point lead can allow the Heat players to temporarily put down the pressure on scoring and focus more on rebounding. This has a certain advantage over the Lone Ranger. After all, they are behind, and more attention should be placed on offense.

Cannavaro tasted a lot of sweetness in the matchup with Mu Chenfeng. Half of his 21 points were scored on top of Mu Chenfeng, and his shooting percentage was very good, so he still wanted to open the situation on Mu Chenfeng in the fourth quarter.

Mu Chenfeng had been bullied enough in the first half, so how could he allow himself to be slaughtered in the second half? After three quarters of the game, Mu Chenfeng had a general understanding of Cannavaro's technical characteristics, so this time he successfully defended against Cannavaro.

Cannavaro's shot formed a live rebound, and the players of both sides came and went to block each other. The Lone Ranger players gave Cannavaro a good chance to grab a rebound, and everyone planned to "give" the rebound to Cannavaro.

Just a second before Cannavaro was about to control the rebound, Mu Chenfeng suddenly rushed out and took the rebound into his arms in the air.

"This rebound is mine!" Mu Chenfeng yelled angrily, and combined the ball forcefully, it was a crisp one.

Mu Chenfeng firmly protected the rebound from being snatched by others. The attitude of the Heat has shown that actions speak for themselves. They will go all out to protect the rebound and not give Cannavaro an easy chance to pick it up.

"It's a pity." Kaluter said with a sigh, "If we hadn't given up just now, maybe this rebound could have been accepted."

Although he didn't mention his name, Cannavaro could hear that Carutel was "sarcasm" himself. It is true that Cannavaro should be mainly responsible for not taking the rebound. If he took one more step forward, there would be nothing wrong with Mu Chenfeng.

It was Cannavaro himself who "rejected" the rebound.

"It doesn't matter, just grab it back next time." The teammate comforted the two, "There is still a lot of time, and our top priority now is to catch up with the score." The speaker is a clear-headed person, and he understands what the team's mission is.

However, no one can refuse the temptation of "triple double", especially in the case of close proximity.

Cannavaro still hopes to grab this rebound as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to calm down and play.

The beauty of basketball is roughly like this, the more you want to do, the more you can't do it, the more you want to get rebounds, the more you can't get them.

Since then, there have been several rebound opportunities, 4 of which were controlled by the Heat, and the Mavericks only controlled 1 time, which was still taken by Kalutel.

After several fights, the Heat's team rebounds also successfully overtook the Lone Ranger.

Mu Chenfeng was dumbfounded. He never expected that his teammates would be so dominant in rebounding. They just "slightly" took it seriously, and all the rebounds were taken by his subordinates. Regardless of the frontcourt rebounds or backcourt rebounds, they were all taken at the same time, and Cannavaro was not given a chance.

"Don't forget, I am the rebounding king in the finals!" In the finals last season, Steinmeier grabbed a total of 67 rebounds and was the king of rebounds in the finals. He grabbed 246 rebounds in the entire playoffs, ranking first.

At this moment, it was Cannavaro who suffered the most in his heart. The game time was getting less and less, but he couldn't grab the last rebound. In the fourth quarter, the Heat completely dominated the basket of both sides, forming a total of 19 rebound opportunities, and the Lone Ranger only grabbed 4 times.The rest of the rebounds belonged to the Miami Heat.

Now time has become Cannavaro's biggest enemy, which also makes him no longer calm and a little anxious. Almost every time there is a rebound, he is the one who starts the fastest and jumps the highest. Helplessly, the Heat's overall control of the rebound is too perfect, and Cannavaro has no chance to miss it.

The scores of the two sides were not close, and the gap of 7 points was maintained until the last goal of the game.

The chance of the last attack is in the hands of the Lone Ranger. Under normal circumstances, in such a situation where the outcome has been determined, both teams will voluntarily give up the opportunity for the last attack. However, the current situation is quite special. Cannavaro is about to get a triple-double, so the Lone Ranger did not give up the attack.

The teammates controlled the game time, and when the time was about to pass, they made a sudden shot. At this time, the Heat players thought that the Lone Ranger had given up, so they relaxed their vigilance, but the sudden shot made it too late for the Heat's defense to be established. The basketball hit the backboard heavily, forming a strong rebound. Cannavaro strode up and held the basketball firmly in his arms.
