Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 379 Small climax

Although Jones was repeatedly killed by Ye Feng and had to sit back on the bench, the Heat barely managed to achieve their expected goal.In the last attack before the end of the third quarter, James hit a super long-range three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line, reducing the point difference to 10 points.

But for him, it was just luck. In this game, James only made 7 of 2 three-pointers. That ultra-long three-pointer was like winning a lottery for him.And in the last attack, James was forced to shoot from a super long distance because he really didn't have a good shot point. Otherwise, his choice must be to pass the ball to his teammates, just like what he did when he was in the Cavaliers. .

In the fourth quarter, Spoelstra let the substitutes stay on the field for 2 minutes, and then couldn't wait to put the starting lineup on the field.He was deeply aware that the team's substitutes were really embarrassing. Looking at Batum, Fernandez and even Mills and Ayers on the Blazers side, his eyes glowed green with envy on the sidelines. Looking at the substitute on my side, I can only sigh silently, this is the price of the Big Three!
Spoelstra didn't intend to put Jones on it from the beginning. In this game, Jones really deserved to be the team's first three-point shooter. However, he has already committed 5 personal fouls. The locker room took a shower.Let's wait until the last 3 minutes to use this easily broken knife. If the Heat can still see hope of winning at that time, if they are beaten, there is no need to play.

The Heat returned to the starting lineup at the beginning, and Aldridge was relieved that he finally didn't need to fight with James, a muscular stick inside.But Camby was still frowning, because it can be seen from the Heat's first offense in the fourth quarter that Bosh was still ordered to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

After adjustments in the final stage of the third quarter, Bosh seemed to have found the knack of shooting three-pointers. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he made 4 of 2 three-pointers. 50% of the three-pointers were already exaggerated.Ye Feng's three-point firepower was blocked by James, and the Blazers had to rely on Aldridge to single out Haslem in the interior. Although Haslem was tough, Aldridge still frequently scored jump shots in front of him. Not bad either.

But with two points and three points at the same time, the Blazers were gradually caught up by the Heat, but they performed very tenaciously and always maintained a lead of 4 or 5 points. Although it was very small, the morale of the team was still there.Many teams are tied or even overtaken by the opponent's wave, and then they are completely confused on the court, from a big lead to a big lag, and finally lose the game. Ye Feng will not allow the same to happen to the Blazers matter.

Although he can't control the psychology of his teammates, he can help the team maintain the lead.I have to say that Ye Feng has become a qualified team leader in the past few seasons. He knows what to do to the best advantage of the team, and he can withstand the pressure and do everything he can.

Seeing that the Heat were about to tie the score, it was he who forcibly hit a three-pointer against James from the outside, and then teamed up with Aldridge to open the point difference again. If Aldridge is alone, let alone Whether he can bear such a lot of pressure, it is very helpless to only shoot two points.

In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, when Spoelstra replaced Haslem with Jones, the Blazers still led by 99 points 96-3.Replacing Haslem means that the Heat intend to fight to the death with the Blazers on the offensive end, and all rebounds and defense at the basket can be ignored.

Jones bypassed two screens and hit a three-pointer from James to help the team tie the score. The situation on the court instantly became severe for the Blazers, but Ye Feng's expression remained the same. It seems that he didn't take the fact that he was blocked by Wade and Bosh at all and failed to interfere with Jones at all. He still controlled the ball steadily at the top of the arc, and commanded his teammates to make tactical moves while observing the situation on the field.

James was waiting one step in from the top of the arc. Ye Feng had already scored 32 points and 8 assists in this game. He made 6 of 4 three-pointers and did not feel cold at all.One step away is just the right distance for James, he can take into account Ye Feng's breakthrough and shooting at the same time.

The frequency of Ye Feng's dribbling suddenly accelerated, a series of "bang bang" sounds like a storm, and after continuous fake moves, he rushed into the inside from James' side.James did not give up, and continued to follow behind, trying to steal directly when Ye Feng passed or shot.But Ye Feng didn't give him a chance, he just flew up and made a dunk across Haslem, and at the same time caused a foul by the opponent's thug.

After the extra penalty hit, Ye Feng seemed to have suddenly turned on the berserk mode, and continued to have brilliant performances on both ends of the offense and defense.What made the fans cheered was that he slammed a hot pot against Bosh's shot from outside the three-point line, which was so powerful that he even slapped Bosh to the ground.After video playback, this is a very clean and undisputed block, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Heat.

James and Wade tried to take over the offense, but every time they scored, it took much more physical energy than before. The Blazers players also began to no longer be stingy with physical energy, and even fouled to prevent them from scoring.And Ye Feng played like a 2K game in simple mode, hitting three-pointers one step away from the outside line continuously, and the outside defense was as strong as James's, and he had to feel overwhelmed.

The reason why James is allowed to defend Ye Feng instead of Jones is because Spoelstra dare not let this point go. It is better to let Aldridge play than Ye Feng, at least the latter is less threatening.But he didn't expect James to be unable to guard against Ye Feng who was fully fired. Under the leadership of Ye Feng, the Blazers directly played a 10-4 spurt and led again by 6 points. At this time, the game has entered the final minute. .

But Spoelstra didn't intend to give up directly. He knew that if he gave up, it would be 1 to 3, and it would be even more difficult to make a comeback.So he called the Heat the last long timeout of the game, and he needed to arrange the 60-second tactics for the players.For Spoelstra, it is best to be able to reverse and win. No matter how bad it is, the opponent will be dragged into overtime, and even if he loses, the opponent will have to pay more.
