Legendary basketball manager

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the game, Mark Jackson wanted to replace George with Tony Allen.

Before the timeout, Mark Jackson called Mr. Tony to his side and informed him of the plan in advance.

Unexpectedly, Tony Allen said seriously: "Coach, I am very grateful that you chose to trust me at such a critical moment. I am also very happy to play and do my best for the team."

"But Paul is the future of this team, and he shouldn't miss such a moment. Maybe his previous defense against LeBron and Dwayne was not very effective, but I think Paul just lacks an opportunity."

"Give him some patience and trust, and he'll prove himself in no time."

Mark Jackson was taken aback when he heard this.

Tony - Allen's argument does make sense.

From a long-term perspective, George is undoubtedly the answer to the Rockets' future striker.

The decisive moment of the finals like this is extremely important for young players!

In just a few minutes of high-intensity competition, he may be able to usher in a qualitative leap.

At this moment, it may be safer to replace Tony Allen with more experience.But letting George stay on the court is definitely a wiser choice!

only...

Mark Jackson looked at Tony Allen in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Tony Allen, who obviously only signed a short-term contract with the Rockets and is likely to work hard for a big contract in the future, would give up such a good opportunity to express himself and sincerely give the opportunity to young people...

This is definitely related to the harmonious atmosphere in the team and the good chemical reaction of the team.

After thinking for a moment, Mark Jackson patted Tony Allen on the shoulder and agreed to his suggestion.

Therefore, in the final decisive battle, George still stayed on the court.

McGrady played against James, and he played against Wade!

As for the Heat, veteran Haslem suffered from cramps.

Although he wanted to grit his teeth and persevere, he also knew that even if he barely played, he would not be able to fight with all his strength on the court.

So when Spoelstra announced that he would be replaced with a shooter, James Jones, Haslem nodded.

............

Look back on the field.

The referee handed the ball to Jones, who had just played, and the Heat served from the sideline!

James came out with the help of a screen and came to the top of the arc to receive the ball.

McGrady quickly followed, but left half a step for James.

James put on a three-threat pose, while observing the Rockets' defensive layout, while directing his teammates to move.

Soon, Howard mentioned the high pick-and-roll, and James lowered his center of gravity and accelerated around the screen.

Maddie reacted quickly.

Instead of forcing his way through the screen, he slipped behind Howard and got in the way of James' breakthrough.

Lao Zhan continued to accelerate, and leaned against McGrady near the free throw line, turning around with his right foot as the axis.

He made a huge turn, went straight from the free throw line to the restricted area, and then jumped high.

This is a breakthrough action that James is used to. The action is simple but not simple.

Even the best defenders would have a hard time seeing James make a turn like this.

Because James has both strength and speed, and this turning around while traveling can maximize his advantages!

The best way to deal with this kind of turn is to predict the position after the turn in advance, and then create an offensive foul.

But James is also very aware of this, so he rarely uses this trick in the game, just for a surprise!

But this time, his goal was achieved.

McGrady couldn't react in time and was wiped by James.

However, just as the latter kicked his feet on the ground and was about to jump and dunk, George suddenly jumped out, stuck out his ghost hand, and went straight to the basketball in James' hands...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the ball was cut off by George.

And as the ball fell, it hit James' feet before popping out of the baseline!

But just when George was about to throw his fist to celebrate, the referee's whistle sounded...

"Rocket No. 13 - Paul George, defensive foul! Two free throws!"

The referee decisively announced the penalty.

The next moment, George was dumbfounded...

He knew very well that he had completely cut on the ball just now, and he didn't even touch James' fingernails!

George immediately walked up to the referee and complained of "grievances".

But the referee was firm and did not intend to change the sentence at all.

George's mentality was a little explosive, and he was preparing to further argue with the referee.

At this time, Yao Ming came to his side and hugged George.

"Forget it, Paul. No matter how much you talk, he won't change the sentence. On the contrary, he may add a technical foul. Just pretend that the speed is too fast and the referee didn't see it clearly."

Yao Ming calmly persuaded.

George is also a smart person, knowing that at this time, he should not be impulsive, but the overall situation must be the top priority.

"Oh, I see..."

He let out a long sigh and regained his composure.

Yao Ming let go of George, patted him on the back, and said, "This defense was timely! Well done!"

Paojiao smiled when he heard this, and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

It has to be said that George at this time is just a first-year rookie.

Although under the blessing of [Spiritual Time House], his golf skills have improved greatly, but he still behaves like a fledgling young man in the world.

There is still a big gap between him and the relaxed General Qiao.

............

James walked to the free throw line, ready to make a free throw.

At this time, the American Airlines Center sounded a uniform slogan:

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

......

In the cheers of the audience, James made two free throws to rewrite the score to 100:99.

The Heat are only 1 point behind!

Offensive and defensive transition, Curry held the ball through the half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

McGrady took advantage of the cover and launched a single from outside the three-point line.

Facing James' close defense, t-mac was extremely calm, using realistic tentative steps again and again to mobilize James' footsteps.

After a successful feint, McGrady suddenly pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line!

......

......

hit!

103:99, it's an answer.ball!

"Roar!!!"

After scoring the goal, McGrady roared towards the sky, his eyes were full of murderous intent, which was in stark contrast to his usual sleepy eyes!

In the stands, Ajiali suddenly put her hand on the back of Shen Fei's beside her, and said, "Fei, my palms are sweating watching it... This is too exciting."

Shen Fei smiled slightly, turned up his palms, and interlocked his fingers with Ajiali: "Don't be nervous, we can win."

............

The game continued and the Heat attacked.

James, who has scored 21 points in a row, chose to hand the ball to Wade this time.

The Flash has been doing his best to defend Curry in this game, so Mengshen has only scored 10 points so far.

But for this, he also paid a big price.

For example, so far in this game, he has only scored 13 points, which is equivalent to swapping with Curry.

In terms of the current strength of the two and their importance to their respective teams, Wade's completion is not perfect.

If it weren't for James' superb performance, the game might have lost its suspense long ago.

But at critical moments, Wade will not be soft.

He beckoned to the right corner, and Jones rushed to set up a screen at the top of the arc.

Wade lowered his center of gravity and slipped around the screen.

Yi Jianlian quickly moved sideways to block, lest The Flash directly tear the line of defense.

But at the same time, Jones quickly bounced outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll.

George originally wanted to help the UAE defend, but due to Jones' three-point threat, he gave up the idea.

In other words, after the screen, Wade successfully replaced the defender with Yi Jianlian, creating a chance to play big!

Wade did not rush to attack, but took a step back to open up the space, and then accelerated towards Yi Jianlian.

The Flash's speed needs no elaboration.

Even if Yi Jianlian is equipped with the [Rodman Scramble Pack], it is difficult to keep up with Wade's pace.

Ah Lian gritted his teeth and tried his best to move laterally to block.

Unexpectedly, Wade rushed halfway, suddenly pulled back with a crotch, and then made a shot.

Ah Lian was shot and landed directly on Wade's body.

Wade jumped sideways and threw the ball to the hoop...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Fortunately, the referee whistled a foul.

Wade walked to the free throw line and made two free throws, rewriting the score to 103:101!

And George, who was fouled twice in a row, was extremely upset.

Changing sides to fight again, he actually took the initiative to ask for the ball at a critical moment.

Curry was still hesitating whether to pass, but McGrady pointed in George's direction.

Seeing the attitude of the team boss, Curry no longer hesitated and passed the ball.

Guarding George was veteran Ray Allen.

Although he is a veteran, Junzi Lei's physical function has not declined much.

Coupled with a good defensive awareness, it is really not easy for an ordinary forward to single him out.

Anyway, at this time last year, Ray Allen was still playing against the peak Kobe!

But George doesn't care about this, he just wants to use goals to relieve the boredom in his heart.

I saw Pickled Pepper in a stance, facing Ray Allen with a silky crotch dribble.

But Ray Allen was unmoved, and his eyes were fixed on George's central axis, waiting for the latter's real offensive action.

Soon, after the continuous shaking had no effect, George lost his patience and accelerated to the right to accelerate a breakthrough.

Ray Allen quickly moved laterally to block and forced George to dribble to the baseline.

As the saying goes, there is no turning back when you open the bow.

George went all the way north, rushing to the baseline and shooting from ever smaller angles.

He thought about passing the ball, but whether it is Curry or McGrady, there are defensive players in front of him at the moment.

In desperation, George could only find a way to force his shot!

Because Ray Allen has been exerting physical confrontation, after the pickled pepper jumped, the body did not rise vertically, but "drifted" towards the bottom line

By the time George finished his shot, half of his body was already out of the baseline...

This is a negative angle shot!

However, after the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drew a beautiful arc in the air, crossed the backboard, and flew towards the basket...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

The ball went in!

In an instant, the entire arena was silent...

Many Heat fans held their heads, unable to believe what just happened!

Responsibly speaking, Ray Allen's defense has reached the extreme.

George simply doesn't have room to shoot.

When he shot, his body was even tilted, and he shot from a negative angle!

"This is... too outrageous."

A Heat fan said helplessly.

"I'm convinced of the pure fairy ball... This first-year rookie has a big heart."

A fan wearing James' No. 6 jersey exclaimed.

Meanwhile, the Rockets' bench has turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The substitutes fell into one piece, celebrating George's miraculous goal.

Among them, the happiest is Tony Allen.

At this moment, he is extremely grateful that his "advice" just now allowed George to stay on the court.

Otherwise, there would be no such wonderful goal!

............

As soon as the goal was scored, the score became 105:101.

The 4-point difference means that the Heat need two rounds to catch up.

At this time, there are less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game!

Spoelstra hesitated to call a timeout.

There is only one timeout left in his hand. If he uses it now, there will be very little room for the Heat to operate...

After thinking for a while, Spoelstra decisively chose to keep the timeout.

"Hold on..."

He looked at the favorite generals on the field and murmured.

The game continues.

When James advanced with the ball, all the Heat fans at the scene stood up and cheered for the home team:

"let's. go. heat!!!"

"let's. go. heat!!!"

"let's. go. heat!!!"

......

In the cheers of the audience, James once again launched a charge to the Rockets restricted area!

He used the cover to kill the basket and completed the layup against McGrady's defense.

But this time, t-mac's interference blocked James' vision.

On weekdays, he made a layup with the board in his hand, but he went out of the frame!

Yi Jianlian grabbed a key rebound and passed the ball to Curry beside him.

After Mengshen received the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack!

"Return to defense!!!"

James yelled and ran towards the half court.

The Heat players united as one, and successfully killed the Rockets' fast break in the cradle with an extremely quick retreat.

Seeing that the counterattack was unsuccessful, Curry calmly slowed down.

When McGrady arrived, he passed the ball to the former, and then obediently ran to the bottom corner.

At this time, there is only 1 minute and 20 seconds left before the end of the game!

McGrady lowered his center of gravity, dribbled slowly, and looked up at the timer from time to time.

He is very clear that as long as the goal can be scored and 24 seconds are exhausted, the victory basically belongs to the Rockets!

This point is also very clear to James, who is opposite Tracy McGrady.

At the critical moment, in order to avoid fouls, James did not step forward to defend, but took a step half a step away.

"Come on, Tracy, I will guard you with this ball!"

James yelled at McGrady.
