Chapter 485

Soon, the public's attention shifted from the war between Garnett and Kahn to the finals, and Game 4 was held in Miami as scheduled.

The atmosphere of the day was far worse than that of Game 3, and the momentum of the Heat was interrupted by the Timberwolves.

The background of Game3 is unique.

First of all, the Heat gave the Timberwolves their first home playoff defeat in Game 2, and then the battle shifted to Miami.

There is a bonus at home, the psychological advantage of the second game, and the next three consecutive away games.

This is the reason why the finals system is criticized. If the side with home court advantage fails to defend two home games, they have to play three consecutive away games.

If the Heat win the third game, it is very likely to win the finals in one go.

Now, they have just experienced a 22-point reversal, and they have no momentum.

But the Timberwolves are strong and strong, and they are determined to fight the Heat again.

The war of words between Garnett and Kahn continued on the court, and he wanted to use his performance to shut Kahn up.

The game set the tone from the first quarter.

Everyone in the Timberwolves is like a prairie wolf who has been starving for three days, trying to tear a piece of flesh from the opponent every time they attack.

After the first quarter, 30 to 16, leading by 14 points.

In the second quarter, Bai Jidong and Garnett's two core players rested for 5 minutes, and Wade led the team to counterattack and caught up to 8 points.

The two cores are back on the court, which is like telling the Heat "Have you played enough?"

The two reversed the situation of the game. Garnett's performance tonight is almost omnipotent, with a strong sense of presence on both ends of the offense and defense.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jidong took the initiative to retreat to the second line, put most of his energy on defense, and helped others with the ball.

At halftime, the Timberwolves led 55 to 40 by 15 points.

The fans at the scene were already a little frustrated, and many people booed in order to motivate the team.

The fans here obviously don't understand the psychology of the players. They don't know that what the players need most now is encouragement, not booing.

Their booing will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Once the pressure exceeds the load, a collapse is inevitable.

The most exciting scene of the game occurred in the middle of the third quarter.

Bai Jidong defended and stole Wade, did not launch a counterattack, let his teammates catch up, and then broke through the Heat's position.

O'Neill took the initiative to help defend Bai Jidong, but Bai Jidong threw the ball into the air with his back turned, like throwing flowers.

O'Neal didn't understand why he did it, and when he saw Garnett jump into the air, all questions were answered.

Garnett and Bai Jidong's aerial cooperation extended the Timberwolves' lead to 20 points.

In the last game, the Timberwolves also trailed by 20 points, and now it's the Heat's turn.

They lack the basis for reversal, and no one can score consecutively like Bai Jidong.

Wade has potential, but he's still only a third-year player and can't turn the whole thing around.

Bai Jidong has planned everything, if the Heat want to make a comeback, they have to start the situation from his point of view.

He won't let Wade do whatever he wants, which has sealed the Heat's chances of a comeback.

After all, O'Neal is old. He can show his prowess in a certain game, but he can't continue this performance until the end of the series.

Miracle didn't happen.

森林狼最终以120比95大胜热火，加内特砍下全场最高35分14篮板4助攻4封盖、白已冬拿下20分5篮板9助攻、巴蒂尔14分3篮板、乌基奇12分4助攻、奥洛沃坎迪10分3篮板。

A total of five Timberwolves scored in double figures, and everyone except Vashabek played.For the Heat, only Wade, O'Neal, and Walker scored in double figures, and the others scored in single digits, and their shooting percentages were low.

"Miami has fallen into the abyss, and they are about to face a curse that no one can break. There has never been a team in the history of the Finals that can reverse from a 3-1 deficit!" Mike Breen said.

Hubie Brown said: "I also don't see the possibility of a reversal. Unless DW evolves like a mutant and blows up the White Wolf's defense, otherwise the reversal will not happen."

Garnett's performance allowed him to win the battle with Kahn, and this performance can suppress many voices.

Bai Jidong is very happy to see that the conflict has temporarily subsided. As long as Garnett can behave like this, Kahn will not be able to act like a demon.

But how long can such peace last?

Early the next morning, Bai Jidong rushed to the airport, he was going to pick up someone.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the plane landed, and Bai Jidong was waiting for his guests.

It was none other than Zhao Li.

Today's Zhao Li is no longer the timid kid back then. He has many halos on his body: No. 1 Dream Academy in the United States, China's rising star shining in Chicago, China's U17 National Youth Ace, and so on.

Zhao Li has already made a name for himself in American high schools. He is the second point guard in Illinois and ranked fifth in the United States. Many universities in the NCAA Division I are interested in him, and some schools have already handed him full scholarships.

"Xiao Li, why do you suddenly want to come to Miami?" Bai Jidong took Zhao Li into the car.

Zhao Li said: "For the finals, I want to feel the atmosphere."

"Then you have to be careful, I heard that people here don't like Wolf." Bai Jidong joked about Zhao Li's American name.

Zhao Li does not hide his relationship with Bai Jidong from outsiders at all.

Because Bai Jidong's nickname is White Wolf, the English name he gave himself is Wolf Zhao.

Wolf means wolf in English.

Zhao Li laughed loudly: "Then they really hate it, a little wolf and a white wolf roaming wild on their territory."

"How is it, are you used to living in Chicago?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Uncle Wolf, I heard that you couldn't even win the Chicago championship at St. Johnson's College?"

Because Zhao Li is getting bigger and bigger, Bai Jidong no longer let him call himself "coach", so Uncle Wolf is Zhao Li's new name for Bai Jidong.

Hearing Zhao Li talk about his black history, Bai Jidong felt embarrassed: "The past is too bad to look back on. Someone should have told you that I was a power forward at the time, right?"

"That's right, because the school team was short of players at the time, you had to play power forward. Burke told me that." The Burke mentioned by Zhao Li was an assistant coach.

Bai Jidong remembered him. At that time, Burke was not even a teaching assistant, he was just the teaching assistant's assistant.

Recalling the experience of St. John's College, Bai Jidong felt very lucky.

If the coach hadn't let him play power forward for four years, he wouldn't have such excellent basic skills inside.

"How was the game? Have you ever met someone you couldn't handle?"

Based on Bai Jidong's understanding of Zhao Li, his current strength is top-notch among his peers in the United States, and there should be no one he can't deal with.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Li read out three names at once: "Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo."

"I won't talk about those two lunatics, OJ Augustine and Eric Gordon." Zhao Li seemed to be hit hard.

"You can't beat these people?" Bai Jidong asked.

Zhao Li said: "Strictly speaking, the only people I can't beat are Derrick Rose and OJ Mayo."

Zhao Liduo said: "Michael Beasley is not a defender. I mentioned him because this guy is too beastly."

"Ross? Mayo?" Bai Jidong had heard of Mayo's name.

This Mayo is a well-known high school student in the United States, known as the combination of Kobe and James.

With the media's habit of blowing up little geniuses, this so-called Kojan fit must be put in heavy quotation marks.

As for Rose, Bai Jidong has never heard of it: "Who is Derek Rose?"

"A native of Chicago, my biggest competitor." Zhao Li said: "I am actually the second guard in Illinois, and he is the first guard."

"You are so humble, unlike me." Bai Jidong joked.

Zhao Li smiled dryly: "I can't help it. I fought him before, and I can't do anything against him. His speed, physical fitness, and explosive power are really too strong!"

"It seems that the past few years in the United States have given you a lot of insight."

Seeing Zhao Li talking about his peers calmly and calmly, Bai Jidong couldn't help but think of his uneasy appearance when he first arrived in the United States.

"Uncle Wolf, it's right to come to America."

Zhao Li said: "If I stay in the country all the time, I don't know how big the outside world is, and dominating the country is nothing at all."

"It's nothing to dominate the country, do you want to go to heaven?"

Bai Jidong felt that this kid was more and more like him, especially when he was bluffing.

Bai Jidong took Zhao Li to the hotel and met with his teammates one by one.

Zhao Li is not stage-frightened, he is a chattering and laughing existence with McGrady and others in Chicago.

Olowokandi saw Zhao Li talking non-stop, and couldn't help saying: "You were definitely brought out by the white wolf!"

"Why?" Zhao Li asked.

Olowokandi said, "Your mouth is as powerful as a white wolf."

Afterwards, Bai Jidong brought Zhao Li to their training ground to watch them practice.

Occasionally, Zhao Li would bring the ball to the field to challenge Bai Jidong to a single match.

Bai Jidong won easily, and at the same time asked Zhao Li's question: "Are you a senior in high school this year?"

"En." Zhao Li nodded.

Bai Jidong said: "Your shooting posture needs fine-tuning."

"I think it's pretty good." Zhao Li said.

"Your current shooting posture is fine for high school games, but it won't work if you want to play more advanced games." Bai Jidong said solemnly.

Zhao Li knew that Bai Jidong would not harm him, so he said, "I will find a way to solve it."

The arrival of Zhao Li added a twist to the tedious preparations, and the Timberwolves players would find this little guy to single out if they had nothing to do.

Zhao Li naturally did not refuse anyone who came, and he told them in advance that he could not bully others with his body, and then he started to fight one-on-one.

The most interesting heads-up match was when Ukic lost to Zhao Li.

Because Ukic couldn't shoot well, Zhao Li made consecutive outside shots.

Ukic was ridiculed for days because of this, and losing a heads-up to a high schooler is not something to be proud of.
