Chapter 363 Decisive Battle at Tianwang Mountain

The East and West conference finals each played four games.

The Spurs and Thunder each defended their home court advantage and will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan in the fifth game.

The story in the East is slightly different.

The Heat and the Raptors each have a record of one win and one loss at home, and they are also tied, but the process is more ups and downs.

It was also the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the east was more weird than the west.

No one knows how this series will end.

Game5.

Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

While this isn't a lose-or-lose game, it's a game that decides who has the upper hand later in the game.

Winning Tianwang Mountain will give you a match point. The psychological test is extremely cruel for both the winner and the loser.

Airline Center Arena.

Tonight, Toronto was filled with gunpowder.

Where there is no war, competitive sports is war.

Torontonians spontaneously organized. In order to support the team, countless people gathered on the streets to watch through the big screen in the square, the live broadcast of the bar, or the live broadcast of the restaurant.

They can't go to the scene to cheer on the team, but they can fill Toronto with cheers by cheering in unison.

The atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic. In order to create the atmosphere of the Devil's away game, Toronto fans gathered together, and their fanaticism infected everyone at the scene.

The cheers when the home team comes on, the roar when the visiting team arrives.

This is the standard configuration of the Devil's home court.

The grievances between the Raptors and the Heat are not a feud, but in the short two years, the two teams have been involved.

Bosh, the former core player of the Raptors, swam to the South Coast in the name of a friend and joined the Heat, which gave the two teams a reason to be unhappy with each other.

The more immediate reason is last season's playoffs.

The unprecedented grouping of the top three giants left the Heat with no excuses. They must reach the finals. Only by reaching the finals can those who laugh at them shut up. Only in this way can they hold their heads high and laugh proudly. .

For such a team, not winning the championship is the biggest failure.

As a result, they fell in the conference finals, in front of the Raptors who should have sunk.

Leading this team is an extremely young player.

He is young, talented, and possesses unparalleled strength.

Tonight, the Raptors have a beautiful group of witches on the sidelines, with Toronto stars of different sizes.

The commentary booth is also full of stars.

Angus, Barkley, Miller, Webb.

"I will miss Kenny, and maybe he will regret for the rest of his life that he missed tonight's game."

Barkley the cat cried and the mouse pretended to be merciful, and said while laughing.

"This is undoubtedly a key game. Considering the previous four contests, we have reason to believe that this will be a great battle."

Webb teased: "Maybe we'll witness a legend tonight."

Miller snorted: "There are 365 days in a year and 24 hours in a day. I believe that the Raptors can win every moment. I can't imagine the situation where Lakey Lee loses to Joel Anthony."

"Don't talk about Joel Anthony, he's miserable enough."

The heavenly kings on the commentary stand said one sentence to another, and Angus had no room to speak.

At this time, the main forces of both sides were warming up.

Li Xing took the ball and tested his hand on the outside.

"For Luckey, perhaps the biggest regret is that there are not enough good insiders in this era."

Angus said: "The center used to have a great heritage, from George Mikan, Johnston, Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, to Robinson, Olajuwon, O'Neal, and now Only Dwight Howard."

Weber said: "This is related to the change of the rules. With the increase of three-pointers, the proportion of center points is gradually reduced. The three-pointer may be the asteroid that caused the extinction of the center. Coupled with the large and small rules, we The familiar center is dying."

"Everyone, the increase of three-pointers and the decline of centers are not synchronized. The decline of centers actually started suddenly in the early 90s. Yes, that is the era we are in!"

Miller's words escalated the discussion.

Several representatives started a lively discussion on "why there are fewer and fewer good centers".

At this time, in the center of the field, the teams on both sides have completed their warm-up.

The coaches are assigning tasks and the game is about to start.

The most ridiculous thing tonight is not that the Heat still put Joel Anthony in the starting center position without fear of death, but let James and Li Xing jump the ball.

When Li Xing saw James standing on the middle circle, he thought there was something wrong with the Heat's communication.

Until they affirmed what James did and really expected James to beat Li Xing, Li felt despised.

The little emperor's physical fitness is really good, but no matter how fast his bounce is, no matter how good his bounce is, he is nothing compared to Li Xing.

Although Li Xing's physical fitness is not inferior, his height and wingspan are completely monster-level, and James has no chance at all.

When the referee threw the ball into the air, Li Xing immediately proved it.

"Snapped!"

When Li Xing passed the ball to Stephenson, the commentator mentioned that James was playing the jump ball: "The center is really withered, how dare Miami let LeBron and Luckey jump the ball? Isn't this courting death?"

Li Xing ran past halftime, and his opponent, Joel Anthony, who was imagined by the Heat as a seven-foot center, stood up again.

In the past four games, Anthony averaged 5 points, 6 rebounds and 6 fouls per game.

Yes, he was beaten by Li Xing until he left the field with six fouls every game.

Rather than saying that the Heat let him fight Li Xing to the death, it is better to say that the cannon fodder headed by him is fighting Li Xing to the death.

Li Xing has full determination, and he doesn't want the Heat to have any illusion of "we can win".

In the first round, Li Xing helped Bargnani and DeRozan do swift dragons in succession, and then he entered the paint as an entry point.

Stephenson paid attention to his position, waited until Li Xing came to the most comfortable place, and dropped the ball in.

Li Xing raised his long arm to grab the ball, leaning on Anthony, took a step back to open the distance, and scored a jumper.

Li Xing scoring is as easy as picking up the fruit on the plate.

Anthony raised his hand silently. He took it as his mistake, but no one would blame him.

Yes, that's the price the Heat are prepared to pay.

Even if the inside line was blown like this, they still won two of the past four games.

The reason is simple, James and Wade are also unsolvable points for the Raptors.

If Wade is in the state of last year, the Raptors' perimeter defense may be shocked to collapse.

Even Wade in [-]% form, no one can guard against it.

This is reality.

It is cruelly placed in front of everyone, giving people a sense of powerless despair.

James used his broad back to hold Barnes back, and then, with reasonable force, slowly pushed the man inward.

Last season, he was ridiculed for "even Calderon can't stand it". Now, back hitting has become an important part of his arsenal.

Li Xing was attracted by James' back kick, and Battier took advantage of Bargnani's defensive distraction and sneaked in from the baseline.

This time, Bargnani's defense was shattered, and James seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, hitting the ball behind his back without looking at anyone.

Battier was about to attack, but he still didn't know that he had been targeted by the beast.

Li Xing on one side, like a demon covering everything, flapped the wings of the demon, pressed down with both hands, and blocked Battier's shot.

Anthony connected and wanted to attack, but Li Xing stood still and raised his unreasonable long arms.

Such a height and such a defensive area have already exceeded the scope of ordinary people's comprehension.

Anthony froze.

one second,

two seconds,

"Beep!"

Three seconds violation!

"Larch's defense is like a spider web. As long as you enter his defense range, you can't break through it. It's terrible!"

"It's such a blessing to see a center like Luckey in this era!"

"I hope he can lead a large number of children. Maybe it won't take long before we can see many excellent centers adapting to the new rules!"

"It will definitely. With a benchmark figure, there will be more and more successors in the future."

The Heat's offense was thwarted, and it didn't seem to affect their pace.

James, Wade, and even Joel Anthony, who was defended against a three-second violation, didn't look disappointed.

They backed off and dismissed the round as an ordinary mistake.

They have to be like this, Li Xing's coverage is frightening, but if the fear continues, the game will not be won.

They can win two of four games by remaining strong in the face of fear and hopeful about the outcome of the series.

All of them believe that with James and Wade, they will be able to achieve the final victory.

"What are they going to do?"

Another pick and roll, Li Xing took the ball one meter from the three-point line.

Yes, it was obvious that Li Xing wanted to attack.

But he is a tall man of 220 centimeters, where to attack?Have the Raptors lost their minds?

Even with his full set of offensive skills, this offensive distance is too long.

Joel Anthony bit his lip. Since Li Xing wanted to die, he tried his best not to let him succeed.

Attack in this position?Do you think you are Durant?
Durant doesn't have a fucking height of 220 centimeters either!

Obviously, the Heat misunderstood.

Li Xing didn't want to attack with the ball, he put away the ball and held it above his head.

"not good!"

One meter beyond the three-point line, Li Xing made a three-pointer.

The height of his shot is destined to prevent his shooting from being interfered by the opponent, and no one can stop him. When Anthony pounced, the basketball had already flown to the highest point.

The arc of the ball flying to the basket is like a rainbow bridge in the sky after heavy rain.

A clear and beautiful arc cut through the sky, and the basketball was aimed at the center of the basket, making a precise hit.

The referee clarified the gesture of the three-pointer and swung down.

The whole place is boiling.

Lakey Lee hit a shot one meter from the three-point line!
