Chapter 583 Eastern Champions!

Battier turned his head, watched the basketball fly towards the basket, and said "don't go in" countless times in his heart, even though he knew it wouldn't change anything.But the moment before he turned his head, he clearly saw a smile on Ying Xiong's face.

"As soon as the ball is shot, does he know that he can score?" Battier was very puzzled.

The result came out soon, Ying Xiong's 3-pointer was a precise needle!
Battier turned his head to look at Ying Xiong again, and saw that the other party looked very calm, which proved that he was not dazzled just now.What a terrible self-confidence this is, to believe that he can hit the 3-pointer the moment he takes the shot.

"The goal is scored! The Raptors widened the point difference to 4 points!" The DJ couldn't help shouting in victory. This goal is so exciting and critical.

Even Coach Casey, who has always been calm, couldn't help raising his hands and shouting excitedly.He is very clear about the gold content of this ball.If the home team can win this game, this ball can be said to be a quasi-lore.

"MVP", "MVP", "MVP"... the Air Canada Center is on fire, this ball is worth a lot of money, and it puts the home team in a good position.

The Heat did not pause, and there were 37 seconds left in the game.At this time, they are 4 points behind, and they need at least two attacks to be able to catch up or even overtake the score, and they cannot allow the opponent to score easily.For the defending champion, the game has fallen into extreme passivity at this time.

"Chris, you should score 3 points here, which may determine the final outcome of this game! At this point of time, there are still 4 points left, and there is not much time left for Miami." Barkley said.

"The reason why Miami doesn't pause is probably because they don't want to use up this precious pause!" Webber said.

"It may also be that they don't want to give the opponent a chance to make substitutions and adjust!" Barkley added.

"Well, it's very likely," Weber said.Obviously, the current Raptors' lineup defense is not good, especially the inside defense. Bargnani is the only big man, and his defensive ability has been criticized.

James holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Ying Xiong is responsible for the defense.

Bosh came out for the pick-and-roll, the purpose is obvious, that is, whoever Bargnani guards against, who comes out to pick-and-roll for James.The purpose is naturally to replace this white center with a strong offense and a weak defense in front of the team's strongest player with the ball.

The Raptors also did not use delays or flanking, but directly switched defenses.Their strategy is also very clear, not giving 3 points, allowing a breakthrough.

Bargnani defended very close, and he told James clearly: "I can shoot me, but I can't shoot 3 points!"

Faced with this situation, James decisively chose to break through, because time was running out.

Bargnani didn't make any fouls either, so if he couldn't guard against it, he would consume it, chase him, and delay the time.

"Toronto's defensive choices are smart!" Webber said.

James went to the basket, and Gay and DeRozan were under the basket at this time.He rushed into the air, twisted his waist and smashed the ball into the hands of Ray Allen in the corner of the right wing.

James' pass was like a cannonball, flying towards the bottom corner.Ray Allen received the ball, and the air in the audience seemed to freeze.It's as if this man's hands have magical powers, and as soon as he catches the ball outside the 3-point line, he has a deadly threat.

Ray Allen is almost a shooting machine, jumping-raising his hand-shooting, the shooting speed is so fast that there is almost no need to aim.

Coach Casey also held his breath. If the goal is scored, the game will be hard to say...

But at this moment, the fans noticed that a yellow lightning flashed by, and at the same time, Junzilei's 3-pointer did not fly towards the basket, but went directly out of the baseline.

Even the referee at the bottom line was dumbfounded, and after a moment of stupefaction, he blew the whistle for the ball to go out of bounds.

"This reaction speed—" Weber opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Ying let go of Bosh just now, accurately predicted the direction of LeBron's shot, and completed this excellent defense! The defensive awareness is so good, he is still so calm and so clear in this situation!" Barkley continued to utter praise, and it was subconscious.

Coach Spoelstra requested a timeout. At this time, there were 27 seconds left before the end of the game.

Back from the timeout, the Raptors also took the opportunity to remove Bargnani and replaced Lowry with faster footsteps to prevent opponents from shooting 3 points.

The Heat sent the ball out of bounds, and it was Wade who served.

The Raptors defended exceptionally well, forcing Wade to pass the ball to James on the far end on the verge of a 5-second serve violation.

But that damned yellow lightning appeared again...

Chinese national star Ying Xiong, wearing the Raptors' home white jersey No. 25, flew to intercept the ball before it reached James' hands!

James had no choice but to foul...

Yingxiong will go to the free throw line due to the number of fouls.

Shouts of "MVP" sounded at the scene, and the sound almost lifted the roof of the arena.

Barkley and Webb, who were sitting in the commentary booth, looked at each other. They didn't speak to each other, but they both saw the incredible expressions on each other's faces.Obviously, Ying Xiong's performance just now has conquered these two NBA legends.

Ying Xiong slowly walked to the free throw line amidst the shouts of "MVP" from the fans.

Coach Casey was not dazzled by Ying Xiong's performance, and still methodically dispatched big men to grab rebounds.

Ying Xiong adjusted his breathing and made two free throws steadily!
The point difference was widened to 6 points. At this time, there were only 25.7 seconds left before the end of the game, and the defending champion Heat hadn't stopped yet!

For the Raptors, as long as there is no miracle, the team will enter the finals for the first time in history!The game is not over yet, but the fans in the stands have already sang joyful songs, and some older fans even hugged their companions and wept with joy!

For the Heat, as James missed a 3-pointer, Jeremy Lin got a rebound, and the opponent fouled again, and the game was basically concluded.

Jeremy Lin made two free throws, Bosh grabbed a rebound and missed a 3-pointer in the backcourt. The game was basically over.

In the end, DeRozan sent the ball to Jeremy Lin, who threw the ball directly over the court, and the timer sounded the sound of the end of the game.

In the end, the Raptors at home defeated the defending champion Miami Heat in the tie-break with a 7-point advantage, thus creating a new record in team history and advancing to the finals!
The Air Canada Center Arena, home of the Raptors, seemed like the team had won the championship, and the fans fell into madness.Many Raptors players hugged each other tightly and cheered excitedly.

Both James and Wade found Ying Xiong friendly, hugged him, and sent their blessings.Being recognized by these two top stars in the league is enough to show Ying Xiong's outstanding performance.

Ying Xiong and James exchanged jerseys, exchanged friendly greetings, and walked to the locker room.
