NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

With two minutes left on the clock, Li Kaiming used a three-pointer that deflected Bosh, widening the point difference to 6 points. At this time, the score between the two sides reached 103 to 97.

Spoelstra doesn't want to take a timeout so easily, because the Heat just used one in the last round to chase points, and the remaining timeout is very precious.

After Chalmers received the ball, he moved it to the frontcourt. For a Big Three team like the Heat, at the last moment of the game, they must give the ball to their three core figures.

Wade's condition has been greatly reduced after his knee injury. Bosh is already the weakest among the Big Three, so the ball inevitably goes to James.

James faced Leonard after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line. He first used the results of his special training at the Dream Training Camp during the offseason-three threats. Unfortunately, his three threats were not threatening at all, let alone Leonard. Nader is a player with top defensive awareness and level. Even a person who doesn't know how to defend at all knows how to prevent James from shooting.

What's more, James' shooting fakes are really fake, and his probing steps look like he's stomping his feet outside the three-point line. If the director of the MCI Center can put a background music for him, the fans at the scene will definitely think that James is This is a ballet performance.

Seeing that his triple threat had no effect, James retracted his steps in embarrassment, and then started a standard walk with the ball first and then started, directly against Leonard and started to rush inside!

The impact of James at his peak is indeed the best in history. Even if everyone who defends him knows to guard against James' breakthrough, this guy can get in with his explosiveness and brute force. Even today's Leonard There is no way to prevent James' breakthrough.

However, this kind of impact also has disadvantages, that is, as long as there is someone in front of him who can slow him down, James, who has slowed down, will be directly captured by the tall and long-armed center when he reaches the basket!

Leonard struggled to hold on for less than two seconds. Although he was pushed in by James, at this time James was like a bow and arrow with full speed. He came slower and slower, and when he broke through to the basket, his speed was already the speed of an ordinary player's layup.

At this time, McGee, who had been waiting for a long time under the basket, took off directly on the spot, his long ape-like arms stretched out, blocking out the sky and the sun.

James's layup under the basket is indeed good, but that is under the premise that he can see the position of the basket. Now McGee is jumping high on the spot. After stretching his arms, James can't even find the basket. In any position, you can only rely on this muscle memory to find an angle to hit the layup.

In the end, the ball barely touched the basket. McGee's continuous jumping ability is also very good. After interfering with James' shooting, he turned around, jumped, and took off the rebound in one go!

Li Kaiming quickly went over and snatched the ball from McGee's hand. There was one minute and 40 seconds left in the game. If the Heat reacted quickly and directly fouled McGee, the gain would be greater than the loss!

Seeing that the ball was taken by Li Kaiming, the Heat immediately gave up the plan of foul tactics.

Spoelstra on the sidelines is going to ask the players to defend this round first, then pause after reaching the frontcourt, and replace two shooters to open up the maximum space for James to break through, or create space for shooters outside the three-point line.

Li Kaiming steadily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. The Heat began to double-team him to prevent him from holding the ball. Li Kaiming directly passed the ball to Hinrich on the other side. The latter faced the pressing defense and passed it to Thompson three times. After the transmission, the Heat's defensive formation was already a little chaotic, so Spoelstra on the sidelines gave an order and everyone returned to their opponents.

The ball was once again given to Li Kaiming. In this case, of course he had to press for time. It was best to use up all 24 seconds of attack time before taking action. However, this is an ideal situation. Anyway, the less time left for the opponent, the better.

Li Kaiming dribbled the ball from outside the three-point line, and the entire stadium fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of Li Kaiming batting the ball.

When there were 9 seconds left on the timer, Li Kaiming suddenly started, and at the moment he started, James and Bosh suddenly double-teamed over. It seemed that the Heat were well prepared. , even if the Wizards successfully ran out of time, Li Kaiming couldn't make the move this time!

Because every one of them knows that that guy is too murderous!

James double-teamed, and Li Kaiming naturally lobbed the ball directly to Leonard, who was cutting into the basket. The latter hesitated after reaching the mid-range, and finally chose to lay up by himself, but was blocked by the other side. Slem interferes down!

Because both James and Bosh are guarding Li Kaiming on the outside, the Heat only have Haslem as a player of sufficient size in the inside. McGee's height is simply outstanding in the inside at this time, even if Haslem struggles to get stuck. , but McGee still used his height and wingspan advantage to grab the frontcourt board. At this time, Wade, who rushed in from the outside, was calm and fouled McGee very simply!

The experience of veteran players is reflected here. Wade fouled very quickly. Almost as soon as McGee grabbed the ball and landed, he hugged him directly, which won the Heat's next attack. time!

McGee walked to the free throw line. Most of the free throws taken by the inside players were 60-70%. At critical moments, the role players basically shot 50-50. If they encountered someone with a bad mentality, they would miss both free throws. possible.

The fans at the MCI Center spontaneously became quiet because they knew that as long as McGee made two free throws this time, the game would basically be won by the Wizards!

Under the watchful eyes of the folks at home, MyBoy patted the ball twice, squatted slightly, and then shot!

state!

The fans at the scene gave McGee the greatest support, but this guy missed the first free throw!

The fans collectively lamented, but immediately became quiet again. If you can't make the first free throw, you can make the second one!

The audience held their breath and concentrated. McGee repeated his familiar moves. Finally, he flicked his wrist and shot. The basketball bounced on the basket once, twice, and fell into the basket until the third time!

The fans at the scene took a long breath!

Fortunately, at least one of the two free throws was made!

The Heat served to the frontcourt and then directly called a timeout. Spoelstra used this timeout opportunity to completely adjust the lineup on the court!

Chalmers and Haslem were replaced by Ray Allen and Shane Battier. The intention of this rotation was so obvious that Barkley on the sidelines could see it at a glance, "Eh. Coach Rick Spoelstra made this rotation very clear that they needed to chase points, so he replaced two guys with unstable three-pointers, and then used one of the best three-point shooters in history and a top 3D player. Replacing them will maximize the space on the court. Even if the three-point line is blocked, LeBron can use this space to break through..."

Next to him, Reggie Miller laughed and added, "Man, Mario Chalmers can be regarded as an unstable three-pointer, but Udonis Haslem is not unstable. He can't shoot three-pointers." !”

The short stoppage time passed very quickly. Sanders also made changes in the lineup and came up with a five-way lineup. Since the opponent wants to attack, then fight to the end. There is another important reason. If the opponent If foul tactics are adopted, keeping McGee on the court will always be an unstable factor.

Players from both sides returned to the field, and the Heat sent the ball from the sideline. As expected, James used the screen to come out and receive the ball.

Several other members of the Heat team opened up the outside line. James held the ball and faced Leonard one-on-one. When he fell behind, he naturally had to take action quickly. If he didn't score, he would foul decisively.

James called Battier to cover, because the man facing Battier was the old Lewis. Leonard and Lewis decisively chose to double-team James and did not give him a chance to break through inside, so James directly The ball was given to Battier who was outside. Leonard had quick legs and feet and rushed to the outside. But Battier's shot was very tough and he ignored the defense and hit it directly!

After the goal was scored, the entire MCI Center fell silent. Some fans opened their eyes wide and showed incredulous expressions. Others had expressions of disbelief on their faces and covered their mouths with their hands...

In the commentary box, Reggie Miller's commentary was very neutral, "LeBron passed a good ball, and Sean Battier from the outside caught the ball and made a shot, chasing the point difference to 4 points, with 46 seconds left in the game!" "

The Wizards served, and because there was still time for the Heat to play another complete round, the Heat pressed the whole court this time, but did not commit a direct foul.

However, they were determined not to let Li Kaiming catch the ball. Hinrich dribbled to the frontcourt. The Wizards started running a triangle offensive tactic. Li Kaiming went to pick and roll with Hinrich, passed behind the latter and then suddenly followed him. The pace is very big, and he reaches the edge of the penalty area in one step.

Hinrich stuffed the ball in without even thinking.

James on the other side came to help defend, and Bosh was chasing after him. However, Li Kaiming did not directly face James for a layup or shoot directly, but suddenly turned around and dribbled toward the three-point line!

Spoelstra, who was standing next to the court, was a little stunned when he saw this scene, but soon he figured out what Li Kaiming wanted to do. His eyes suddenly widened and he shouted hysterically at Bosh and James on the court. One sentence.

"Hurry up! Don't let him shoot a three-pointer!"

But in fact, Spoelstra was overthinking this time. Li Kaiming didn't mean to go outside the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer. He just wanted to simply waste time. What bad intentions could he have?

But since the coach on the opposite side has helped me figure out how to play, it would be a bit of a look down on Spoelstra if I don't play...

Li Kaiming dribbled to another three-point line. He suddenly turned around and leaned back very sharply. The hands of Bosh and James almost closed on his face, but he still had a confident and fearless smile on his lips. !

Swish!

With the crisp sound of a goal, the MCI Center went completely crazy!
