Chapter 491 Reaching the Top

"With the last three minutes of the game, Flip Saunders put on some substitutes."

Breen saw the list and said: "I saw Bonu Vashabek, this is his first appearance in the Finals, this young man made a big splash in this year's All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest and contributed multiple perfect points buckle."

Brown said: "I remember this kid, his physical fitness is very good, if he is not good in all aspects of technology, he will never lose. Even so, I still feel sorry for the teams that missed him. They missed a piece. I have to admire Minnesota's vision for a jade in the rough that deserves to be carefully carved. They found Bonu among hundreds of undrafted picks."

Like Riley said, the Heat want to end the game decently.

Therefore, they did not replace the main force like the Timberwolves.

This is not disrespect to the opponent, but the greatest respect for the game.

Sanders can understand their approach. After all, this is the Heat's home court and their last game of the year.

If it ends tonight, it ends with dignity.

Wade came over with the ball, and the man who defended him was Vashabek who had just played.

This is not a misplacement, but Bai Jidong's deliberate arrangement.

Because he knew Wade would not give up.

In order to narrow the point difference, Wade will do everything possible to attack, and this is the best training opportunity for Vashabek.

Vasha Baker had just played, and he didn't do enough warm-up exercises, but he was ready to match up with Wade.

Wade's offense excited him, and Vashabek went all out as if he was facing Bai Jidong.

He has observed Wade for a long time and knows that Wade's shooting is unstable. Therefore, he resolutely implements the strategy of preventing shots and not preventing bursts.

As long as Wade wants to break through, he has to get rid of him.

Vashabek has many problems, but when it comes to defense, he is not bad at all.

Wade took a step forward, trying to shake Vashabek with a shooting fake, but the latter remained motionless, as if he had seen through Wade's mind.

Wade didn't know how this rookie could have such a good concentration and be so calm.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he could only pass the ball out first and give it to Antoine Walker.

Walker's three-pointer was interfered by Bai Jidong and missed.

Wade judged the landing point, grabbed the offensive rebound first, and passed it to the outside line as soon as possible.

Williams ran over to catch the ball, shot from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and made a hit.

The Heat chased the point difference from 22 points to 19 points. These three points seem insignificant, but they are also exciting enough.

At this point in the game, there is nothing to hesitate.

Don't look at the score, don't look at the timetable, don't care about the reaction of the audience, for yourself, for your career may be the only trip to the finals.

The Heat's tenacity is admirable, and Bai Jidong can only respond to them in a tougher way.

The entire Heat team seemed to have made up their minds not to score for Bai Jidong, as soon as he broke through, three or four of them would retreat to double-team immediately, completely ignoring his pass.

With so many double-teams, it was difficult for Bai Jidong to score, so he passed the ball to the outside.

Vashabek received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and he heard the boos of the crowd, and those boos drove him to hold the ball up.

"Vote, Bonu!" Bai Jidong shouted.

"it is good!"

With Bai Jidong's words, Vashabek was more confident and threw his first ball in the finals.

Unfortunately, he didn't make it.

Vashabek's touch was a little stiff, the ball hit the front of the basket and a long rebound popped out.

Bai Jidong is ready to go, like a ferocious beast dormant in the grass, if it doesn't move, there will be a harvest.

Bai Jidong was faster than everyone else, took down the long rebound and shouted: "Take your time, we have time!"

"Good job!" cheered the teammates off the field.

Vashabek also clenched his fist excitedly. He didn't have time to be sad for the three-pointer just now. The game continued, and he had to do more things to get a shot.

"Son, try again."

Ratliff said softly.

"You don't want to score?" Vashabek asked.

Ratliff smiled: "I played more minutes than you. I was too early. If you don't get a point after the game, I will be very disappointed."

"Okay!" Vashabek was very moved. All he could do was to repay the trust of his teammates with practical actions.

Old Willis also intends to help Vashabek cover, "Boy, there is a chance at the top of the arc!"

"Yes!"

Vashabek ran past Old Willis, threw off the pursuers behind him, ran to the top of the arc, and shouted: "Here I am!"

"good chance!"

Bai Jidong gave the ball to Ukic, and Ukic passed it to Vashabek.

Another three-point opportunity, Vashabek made a decisive shot.

The moment Vashabek shot the ball, the Timberwolves players stood up from the bench one after another. As long as they scored a goal, they would let the world know how crazy they can be.

Sadly, it's still a good piece of iron.

Ratliff set aside the rebound, Willis Sr. grabbed the rebound and passed it back to Bai Jidong.

"Good rebound! Good rebound!"

Garnett growled.

"Ponu, I hope you still have the confidence to shoot the third ball."

Bai Jidong said to Vashabek.

Vashabek's eyes were firm: "I have confidence!"

"Very good, let's run, as long as you have a chance, I will pass the ball." Bai Jidong said.

"You're destroying that rookie's confidence," Walker said.

"Why do you know that?" Bai Jidong didn't believe that Walker could say anything good.

Walker is sincere: "The Finals is a big stage. If I remember correctly, this is his first time playing. He is more nervous than any of you. He will miss the third ball."

"You don't know Bo Nu, you are not qualified to say that, I bet you, he will score the third goal." Bai Jidong said.

"What's the bet?" Walker was sure to win the bet.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "If I lose, I will take back the nickname "Ugly Duckling"." "It's a deal!" Walker agreed decisively.

"Why did you agree so readily?" Bai Jidong asked unexpectedly.

"I don't want this nickname to spread throughout the league."

Walker really can't stand everyone calling him by this nickname.

Vashabek didn't know that he shouldered the great responsibility of helping Walker clear his stigma. He moved hard and only wanted a chance.

Combining his previous shots, Wade determined that his three-pointers were unstable, and he also knew that the Timberwolves were deliberately helping him create opportunities.

Instead of wasting energy following him, it's better to give him a chance, since he won't be able to make the shot anyway.

Thinking of this, Wade stopped chasing after being blocked by the screen, and gave Vashabek an open space.

Bai Weidong passed the ball, and Vashabek borrowed it.

His movement of catching the ball and the way he starts his hands are exactly the same as Bai Jidong's.

If you don't look at his skin color and the number 99 on his back, but only look at this posture, most people will recognize him as Bai Jidong.

"I won't miss it, I won't!"

Vashabek has absolute confidence in his shot.

His shooting was inconsistent, but he was just paranoid that he could make it.

This confidence is an important reason why he continues to shoot.

The third ball, still decisive.

He has a wide open, but he doesn't adjust slowly, and he shoots quickly like he is racing against the gods of time.

"Shh!"

"!#!!￥......"

Probably only the lore ball can match this bombing effect.

Vashabek's teammates were so happy for him, each of them jumped up and showed off an awkward dance, and then yelled Vashabek's stinky, long name.

Yes, they remembered Vashabek's full name.

At the same time, Bai Jidong fouled Walker: "I take back the nickname Ugly Duckling."

"Why? You won."

Walker was very happy, but he didn't understand.

"Because I think another nickname is more suitable for you, Crow's Mouth. You are really a Crow's Mouth, so I will call you Crow's Mouth from today on." Bai Jidong said.

Walker live with Bai Jidong: "Actually, I think the ugly duckling is pretty good"

"Referee, he won't let me off!"

Bai Jidong immediately distanced himself from him and handed over to Victor Casipa.

It was not only Bai Jidong who was replaced, but also Roko Ukic.

It was Christie who replaced Ukic.

The Timberwolves' current lineup on the field is Christie, Kasipa, Vasha Baker, Old Willis, and Ratliff.

There is no doubt that this is a purer substitute lineup.

The five people on the field are the team's substitutes, and they have to finish the remaining [-] seconds.

Wade quickly completed an attack.

Without Bai Jidong, without Garnett, his breakthrough is unstoppable, and Vashabek is still too young.

Christie deliberately delayed the time, and the game entered the final 60 seconds.

In the last ten seconds, Christie broke through Williams, opened the defense and passed the ball out to Kasipa.

Casipa made a three-pointer and hit, and the point difference widened to 23 points.

Wade played a fast-break raid, and Vashabek competed with him, not wanting him to make it.

After Wade broke through, Vashabek's defensive foul was caused.

"There are 50 seconds left, and I can announce that Minnesota has successfully defended the championship!" Breen said excitedly.

Brown sighed: "Minnesota is indeed a well-deserved champion. They are better than all the teams in the league."

Wade hit the buzzer throw, the point difference narrowed to 21 points.

With 30 seconds left in the game, Christie received the serve and wasted time in the frontcourt.

Time passed little by little, and the last 24 seconds ran out, and Christie didn't make a shot. He handed the ball to the referee, leaving the last ten seconds for the Heat.

"10!"

Wade didn't drive anymore, he held the ball and gave up the game.

As a result, some players began to enter the field. Although the game was not over yet, for them, it was over.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

At the end of the game, Wade put the ball on the ground, stepped forward and shook hands with Vashabek: "Your defense is very good, I am looking forward to playing against you again next season."

"Thanks, I'm impressed with your offense."

Vashabek talked to Wade like a big brother, and Wade was stunned by what he said.

This rookie is really crazy!
Wade secretly thought.

"The game is over! The Minnesota Timberwolves won the championship this season!"

"Let's congratulate them, they proved themselves again!"

PS: I thought I could write five chapters, but it ended up being boring after four chapters.I feel that it is better to read the game in one go. If I write more than a dozen chapters in a game and then drag it out for three or four days, it will affect the senses intermittently. When I write key games in the future, I will try to finish it in one go.
　What the guys who turned off this chapter don't know is that there's another chapter at six, and I'm sneaking you in. Shhh.
