Pick Westbrook
Chapter 265 Where did you come from?
Chapter 265 Where did you come from?
The results of the Battle of Tianwangshan shocked the whole world.
"The Heat lost."
"Now that the big score is 2:3, this is not the time to talk about which team is strong and which team is weak."
"You know, even the biggest teams in the league will beat the league champions one night, and that's the NBA."
"So the big score came to 2:3, and the only thing left for the Heat is to stay."
Su Qun couldn't help thinking of the countless brilliant achievements the Heat had achieved during the regular season.
The 27-game winning streak is the second in NBA history, and James won the MVP again. The combination of the Big Three is so powerful that it will put all the powerful enemies in the league under their horses, and even they have not lost a single game in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
But at the position of the Eastern Conference finals, the Bucks' ability to surpass the team itself completely caught the Heat by surprise.
Especially the Bucks' twin-tower lineup, which was not expected by the whole world before the game.
"Of course, it is too early to say that the Heat have lost. The series is not over yet. The Bucks only have a higher chance of advancing in theory."
"The next game will also be in Milwaukee. I believe the Bucks must want to win the Eastern Conference championship trophy at home."
"So what the Heat are going to face is a Bucks team that has gone home."
Milwaukee.
Bucks fans took to the streets, and vendors on both sides have even started selling the Bucks' Eastern Championship caps.
For the Milwaukee people, these two years have been the best and happiest time since the Bucks won the NBA championship in the 1970-71 season.
They still remember Li Lai's promise on the first day he took over the Bucks. This team will bring a surprise to all fans.
And now, the Bucks have brought them more than just surprises.
"That bastard Li Lai is doing so-so."
"Of course it's just so-so. I can beat the Heat with this lineup."
"Since his work is so-so, let him continue to work. If one day he does not do well, we will have another demonstration."
Bradley Arena.
The green ocean on the scene is crazily surging, and all fans are looking forward to the Bucks' ability to win the Eastern Conference championship trophy tonight.
Li Lai looked at the court with a serious expression.
He knew it wasn't that easy.
At least, the Bucks don't have the strength to beat the Heat 100% in a game.
Now that the Eastern Conference finals have been played, the two teams have already shown their ability to press the bottom of the box, and they will fight against each other. Now it is time for the players on the court to execute the team's tactics better and who can be in better form tonight .
"Having James and Wade alone is enough to cause variables in a game, not to mention that they are both on the same team now."
Li Lai knew that James and Wade had the ability to change their lives against the sky, so he didn't dare to relax their vigilance.
Game start.
Cousins jumped off the ball and the Bucks attacked.
Westbrook played very proactively as soon as he advanced with the ball. This time, facing Wade's pincer attack, he decisively went through the seams and dunked into the basket.
Seeing the goal, Yu Jia screamed again and again, "The Bucks are really planning to end the entire series tonight."
But it was followed by Wade throwing his body into the air with three people in a row, and hit a very difficult backhand layup.
Su Qun said: "The momentum shown by the Heat is not bad. It can be seen that they don't want to give up the entire series."
Then Curry hit a three-pointer, and James used a tank to break through and dunk back.
Cousins followed up with an inside display that destroyed Joel Anthony several times, and Bosh played the best performance in the first quarter of this game tonight, shooting 5 of 4 from mid-range.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks trailed the Heat by 28 points at 32:4.
In the second quarter of the game, Dragic led the team to show off. He broke through Mike Bibby consecutively and succeeded in the paint.
James led the entire team, using assists to revitalize Ray Allen and Mike Miller and other teammates.
The Bucks played a wave of 10:2 offensive high slots, and the Heat responded with a 12:2 offensive high slot.
The second half of the second quarter.
The Bucks started back on the court one after another, and James also came to the rest time at this time. Wade and Bosh played and led the team at the same time.
Taking advantage of James' absence, the Heat finally did not have James + Wade's crazy perimeter blockade, and the entire Heat did not have a serious point guard on the court.
Li Lai seized this opportunity and arranged Yi Jianlian and Westbrook's offensive pick-and-roll tactics, while frantically double-teaming Wade on the defensive end.
At the end of the second quarter, the Bucks trailed by 58 points 60:2.
In the third quarter of the game, James took up the banner of offense and led the team to continue to expand the lead.
This quarter was the easiest time for the Heat to score points.
Artest was knocked into the air again.
The scene on the court looked extremely tragic. James used his strong body to hit the basket time and time again, and Artest used his body to block James again and again.
If you can block it, you can block it, if you can't block it, you can block it.
Because Artest knows very well that if defenders dare not block James' path, then no one can defend James at all.
"In terms of breakthrough, Wade is naturally stronger than James, but in terms of breakthrough power, James is even more terrifying than Wade."
Su Qun couldn't help but say this.
Yu Jia on the side nodded in agreement, that is indeed the case.
If you change to a fan who doesn't often watch the NBA or an NBA fan who doesn't often watch James' games, it may be difficult to understand what this sentence means.
But even fans of this group, if a statistic is placed in front of them, there is a high probability that they can understand it.
"This season, James' scoring efficiency and shooting percentage in the interior are the league's first. Even the center players are hard to compare with him."
When Yu Jia's voice fell, James used a big dream on the court to beat Artest and scored a layup.
While changing footwork skills, James also has a simple movement of turning around and raising his elbow with the ball protector.
This is a normal offensive technique, but it fell on James, and now Artest is fully defending, and this elbow directly knocked the opponent to the ground.
"Artest fell down."
Su Qun can't remember how many times Artest was overthrown by James in this round of the series. The most important thing is that James is very smart and knows how to use the rules to make favorable judgments on the court.
Therefore, it is difficult for every offense of his to be whistled for an offensive foul. Even if Artest is turned over again and again, it is difficult for the referee to sound the whistle.
Because James' timing of the action is very good.
On the contrary, players defending James are more likely to be whistled for defensive fouls, which is also a technique for big players to break through.
beep!beep!
The referee blew his whistle again, and Artest had 4 fouls on his back.
James walked to the free throw line, and he glanced at Artest, who was still on the ground and still didn't get up quickly.
James knows that Artest should have reached his limit in this round of the series. After all, the saying that he has to go to the hospital for a day to play with James is not a joke.
James didn't feel any compassion at this time, nor did he intend to let Artest go.
Instead, he will continue to unswervingly attack Artest in the next round, because the opponent has already committed 4 fouls.
"The audience friends in front of the TV should not think that the pictures on the court are so cruel. The court is also a battlefield. This is what the older generation of players have been telling us and teaching us."
"On the court, these players know best who is weak on the court, what their weakness is, and how to address this weakness next."
"If you see this weakness and give up because of some compassion, then these NBA players are destined not to be on this stage."
"It's like fighting a war. Once the war starts, all sympathy has to be put aside, and winning is the most important thing."
Su Qun's words not only did not let the audience in front of the TV understand the actions of James and the Heat, but felt that Artest was even more tragic at this moment.
On the court, Artest finally stood up slowly.
The referee at the side glanced at his situation and couldn't help asking: "Are you ok?"
Artest stood up, shook his body, and then took a deep breath with some difficulty.
He nodded.
Westbrook remembered what happened in the bathroom and looked anxiously at the coach's bench.
Li Lai also noticed Artest's abnormal behavior on the court, but he didn't call a timeout or call for a substitution, but looked at the opponent with a questioning face.
Tyronn Lue couldn't help but said: "The coach made a correct decision."
Marshall, who has played with the Bucks all over the world for so many years, can naturally understand this sentence at this time.
The Bucks must not replace Artest at this time, because the opponent is the reason why James has not exploded until now.
"no problem!"
Artest yelled suddenly and gave the coach a thumbs up.
This is his response to Li Lai.
Artest's move also gave the Bucks players great confidence on the field.
Westbrook walked over and patted Artest's shoulder excitedly and said, "Brother Ron, good job."
"Fuck." This shot almost broke Artest's defense, and he only felt an extremely strong tingling in his waist.
The game continues.
The Heat attack.
Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen all opened up, and James held the ball at the top of the arc to perform singles.
The Bucks still follow the defensive strategy set throughout the series and try not to double-team James.
In this way, Artest can only defend the opponent alone.
"This ball, Artest's defense is the key!"
"If you can defend it, you can block the Heat's offense and change your style of play. If you can't defend it, then James will have to play like this for the next ball until you play out your Bucks' double-team tactics."
on the field.
James lowered his weight.
Artest took the initiative to give a breakthrough route on the left, trying not to let James go to the right.
Faced with such a defensive strategy, James did not hesitate to attack with the ball to the left.
Artest didn't dare to retreat to defend at this time, because James had a great tendency to shoot when he walked to the left, so Artest posted it the moment James started.
boom!
The sound of strong muscle-to-muscle clashing was extremely clear throughout the Bradley Arena.
After James was blocked from the breakthrough route, he raised his hand and elbowed his back to attack, Yiku!
Another violent push, the breath that Artest had been holding tightly in his mouth was blown out, and at the same time, his body was pushed backwards a step.
O'Neal in the Bucks bench couldn't help shaking his head at this time.
Dameng's footsteps and back hits also cast a shadow on him for a long time. Just now, he looked at James on the court as if he saw his former opponent, Dameng Olajuwon.
The solid footsteps, smart turns, and careful court observation when hitting backs are almost carved out of the same mold as Olajuwon.
"Now Artest can't guard James anymore, but he is still holding on on the court!"
On the commentary desk, Barkley, who was a player, also gave such a conclusion at this time.
He believes that Artest on the court must also know this, so Barkley doesn't understand why Artest insists on defending James alone.
Wouldn't it be good for the entire Bucks to help defend? !
At this time, James was one step closer to the basket. Westbrook wanted to rush in to help defend, but Ray Allen immediately shouted him back when he raised his hand.
James continues to post up!
Erku!
boom!
Artest leaned forward with his upper limbs and tried his best to support his lower limbs back, but even so, he was pushed back again by James.
James then turned around. Fearing Artest's defensive interference, he chose a layup with a very strong physical confrontation.
Snapped!
Artest, who was defenseless, could only pull James down from the air and took the initiative to foul, but he also fell to the ground again in this confrontation.
Yu Jia said: "Artest has once again demonstrated his inside defensive skills to basketball fans all over the world. This is the strength and experience of the first DPOY player in NBA history as a small forward."
Su Qun sighed from the side: "Don't look at James' performance in this round of the series. If there is no Artest, the form on the court will definitely be very different."
"James may have even exploded already."
On the live commentary desk, Kenny Smith expects Artest to stand up at this time, just like he stood up after being knocked down by James countless times in this round of the series.
Barkley couldn't help applauding Artest at this time.
Players born in his era admired such a tough guy the most.
At this moment, the Bucks fans at the scene had already stood up and applauded, just like when Artest put on the Bucks jersey for the Bucks for the first time, they applauded Artest.
The Bucks players on the field also quietly waited for their leader to stand up. They believed that this defensive champion who had wiped their ass for three years would continue to be a leading offensive player in the next game pillars.
In the past, Pierce, Anthony, James, and Kobe. The Bucks had a chance to win if Artest did not greatly limit the opponent.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
After an unknown amount of time on the court, Artest still hadn't stood up, and Li Lai bounced off the bench in a bad mood.
He looked at Artest who fell on the court with wide eyes and shouted: "Go and see how Ron is!"
Westbrook, Curry, Yi Jianlian, Cousins, the four quickly reacted and rushed over.
The referee on the side also had a premonition that something was wrong and was extremely nervous, so he hurried over to check the situation.
James did not leave, but also squeezed past, and Wade was with him.
"Ron?!"
"Brother Ron!"
Amidst the shouts of everyone in the Bucks, Artest slowly turned around and smiled with difficulty.
This scene also relieved all the Bucks players on the field, and Li Lai finally sat on the bench with peace of mind.
The referee signaled the game to continue, and James continued to execute free throws.
Artest refused the support of his teammates, and he chose to climb up unsteadily by himself.
James at the free throw line finally couldn't help asking at this moment: "What are you working so hard for? I suggest you go down and rest."
The voice of this sentence is not small, and it has attracted the attention of the Bucks and Heat players on both sides.
Artest glanced at his coaching bench and saw the worried and questioning look in Li Lai's eyes. He stretched out his thumb without hesitation and shouted: "No problem!"
Artest did not answer James' question, which made James feel a little upset.
But regardless of whether Artest can resist his impact, as long as Artest continues to stay on the court, James will definitely continue to attack this point without hesitation.
This is his basketball philosophy, always calmly looking for the opponent's weaknesses on the court.
In the next round, the Heat continued to attack.
It's still the familiar all-player, and it's still the familiar James high-position singles.
Artest single defense again.
A faint sense of worry appeared in Li Lai's heart. He glanced at Tyronn Lue and said, "The next dead ball, replace Ron."
Tyronn Lue, who heard this sentence, was shocked and said: "Coach, James will probably play the entire second half of the game. After all, this is a life-and-death battle. We replaced Ron at this time. Who will defend James?"
Li Lai didn't answer, because Tyronn Lue was no longer the Tyronn Lue three years ago, and the opponent was able to assess the situation and everything that happened on the court.
So Tyronn Lue is very clear that there is no reason to replace Artest at this time.
But Tyronn Lue also knows the reason why Li Lai did not choose to answer this question, just like Artest on the court did not choose to answer James' question directly.
"Both the coach and Ron have their own persistence."
There is no reason for Li Lai to replace Artest.
on the field.
James continued to play singles, and as always, went to the basket, and knocked Artest to the ground again.
James looked at the black figure who fell on the ground, not knowing what he was worried about.
Wade looked at the black figure that fell on the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Under the shouts of the Bucks fans at the scene, the black shadow moved slightly and stood up again with difficulty.
"MVP!"
"MVP!!"
"MVP!!!"
Artest stood up, once again enjoying the shouts of MVP.
He has heard the shouts of MVP countless times throughout his career, but only the fans of the Milwaukee Bucks shouted to him.
Artest raised his head slowly at this moment, his movements were extremely slow but his eyes were firm.
He watched James walk over still full of fighting spirit, and finally gave the answer to the question just now.
"Because I'm the leader of the Bucks!"
"A leader handpicked by the coach!"
"I want to carry this team forward without fear!"
"This is, my perseverance!"
After the shout, Artest's body finally couldn't bear the pain and fell directly to the ground.
The referee noticed something was wrong, and quickly signaled the Bucks' medical staff to enter the field, but James was still standing straight under the shout, and his heart was greatly shocked.
From the first day he was drafted by the Cavaliers, James was a hero in Cleveland, charged with changing the city's tragic fate.
He led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, played a championship, became the number one regular season record, and he also won a series of awards such as MVP and best rookie.
Some media even selected James as the second most powerful player in the NBA, second only to Kobe.
But does James really know how to be the leader of a team?
Looking at his good brother Wade on the court, and Artest surrounded by countless Bucks doctors, James didn't really understand until this moment, what is the difference between him and the leader of a team.
"It's only a little short."
The team doctor who rushed up to first check Artest's injury was shocked after repeatedly confirming Artest's injury.
He yelled in the direction of the Bucks coaching bench: "Artest's ribs were broken a few days ago! This is an old injury!"
what!
Li Lai, who heard the news, seemed to have suffered a big blow in his heart.
Artest's ribs were broken long ago?Then how he has been fighting against James on the court until now!
James, who also heard this sentence, was even more shocked in his eyes. Looking at Artest's fallen figure, he finally understood how powerful the leader is.
Artest, who fell to the ground, blocked all the surrounding voices at this time. He knew the current situation of his body better than anyone else, and he also knew what was going to happen next.
"Bucks, I can't go on with you anymore."
"Coach, not having me here should cause you some trouble."
"My teammates, you must help the coach solve these problems."
At this moment, Artest thought of Reggie Miller, the former boss, and how he led the gang of old brothers.
At this moment, Artest smiled like a child, warm as spring.
"Boss, what you once taught me, now I will pass it on."
Artest hugged Westbrook who was squatting beside him. He looked at all the Bucks teammates in front of him, restrained all his smiles, and said seriously.
"Russell is our leader from now on."
After finishing speaking, Artest looked at Westbrook and said with guilt on his face: "I originally wanted you to take over this important task during the regular season next season, but now, I can only hand him over at such a dangerous time. Here you go."
"Russell, take the brothers to win!"
The Bucks team doctor quickly carried the stretcher into the court, and Artest didn't see Li Lai until this time.
He saw the reproachful look on the coach's face. Artest knew what Li Lai was complaining about. If it wasn't for the fact that he was seriously injured, he probably would have been scolded by Li Lai.
Artest looked at Li Lai and couldn't help but smile. He remembered the time when Li Lai went to his house to sign O'Neal after winning the championship last season.
On the way to Jermaine O'Neill's hometown, Li Lai accidentally hummed a song.
"Coach, can you hum that song for me again?"
Li Lai did not hesitate, nodded at this moment, and hummed softly.
"Today, I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, drifting far away with a chilled heart, chasing after the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the shadows in the fog, the sky and the sea are wide, you and I will change."
"How many times, faced with cold eyes and ridicule, I never gave up the ideal in my heart. I was in a trance for a moment, and if I felt something lost, the love in my heart had unknowingly faded."
"Forgive me for being uninhibited, indulgent and loving freedom in this life, and I am also afraid that one day I will fall."
Artest has been carried out of the player channel by the team doctor. During this period, he raised his hand and waved towards the sky. All the Bucks fans in front of him are like an ocean.
Li Lai closed his eyes for a long time before opening them. He looked firmly at the Heat players, full of fighting spirit.
Cousins, who has been taught by Artest throughout the season, had eyes dancing at this moment. He vigorously raised his right hand to wipe it, exhaled through his nose, and took a deep breath.
"My Nima!"
The game continues.
McGrady was sent to the court when he was in danger.
When he was on the court, O'Neal pulled McGrady and said sternly: "Help me teach that bastard James a lesson."
McGrady felt the power in O'Neal's hands. If this was a regular season game, he might have rushed to the court to teach James a lesson.
On-site commentary desk.
Barkley couldn't help but recall a past event that year, "The rookie Artest broke Jordan's ribs and left the training ground, and the old Artest was broken and left the court."
"It's fun to think about."
"But the Heat will not be soft on this. It is a matter of whether the team will go home or stay. Instead, they will attack more fiercely after Artest is off the court."
on the field.
McGrady is facing James.
James once again chose to hit the basket, but this time the Bucks decisively carried out a double-team defense that shrank the inside.
"Is this the iron bucket formation of the Pistons back then?!"
Su Qun was shocked when he saw the defensive change of the Bucks on the field.
But after thinking about it carefully, the Bucks at this time have only this way to limit James after losing Artest.
Of course, such a defensive strategy will undoubtedly give the Heat a lot of open shooting opportunities from the outside.
"I have to praise one thing. The Bucks reacted extremely quickly after Artest was injured and left the field. They almost took the best style of play under this lineup."
Under Barkley's expectant eyes, James raised his hand and passed the ball to the most trusted Ray Allen in the bottom corner after being assisted by the defense.
The bottom corner position is Ray Allen's most accurate point.
Curry seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and rushed over at the same time as James took off to pass the ball. He was originally not close enough to the penalty area. At this time, Ray Allen was still outside the shortest corner three-point line, so Curry returned. The speed of defense is not slow.
"Defend!"
Ray Allen saw that Curry, who was rushing over, did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball decisively to Mike Miller at the top of the arc.
"This position is far enough from the penalty area, and James is still topping the paint area. The Bucks' defense is too late."
Westbrook remembered Artest's instructions, so no matter whether he could return to the defense in time at this time, he rushed out with all his strength.
James pushed Westbrook in the process, slowing down the opponent's return to defense.
Westbrook was two full steps away when Mike Miller caught the ball.
Raise your hand and move your wrist.
Swish!
"The ball is in!"
98: 100.
Westbrook pressed his hands and signaled his teammates not to worry, and will still play firmly in accordance with the coach's arrangement for the next round.
The Bucks attack.
Cousins insisted on the ball inside, and Westbrook quickly transferred the ball and passed it in.
James mainly helps defend the inside, Wade mainly helps defend the outside, the Heat have a clear division of labor, James decisively shrinks the inside to double-team Cousins at this time.
"Cousins still has to defend first, otherwise he can score 20+20 on the Heat."
Cousins, who received the ball, didn't hold grudges against Artest's injury as Barkley imagined.
After Cousins saw James rushing into the inside, he passed the ball to the right 45° angle very steadily.
McGrady received the ball, wide open.
Swish!
in!
101: 100.
Seeing the goal, Yu Jia clenched his right fist and said excitedly: "Without Artest, it is indeed difficult for the Bucks to defend James, but at the same time, McGrady's overall offense has improved to a higher level. , Do you, the Heat, dare to use infinite rotation defense?"
At this time, Su Qun looked at the court, and there were only 4 minutes left in the game.
Every goal on the pitch is a matter of life and death for both teams.
Without Artest, the Bucks definitely don't want to drag the game into a tie-break, and the Heat also firmly believe that without Artest, as long as they drag into the tie-break, the Bucks will definitely not be able to beat them.
Barkley couldn't help but said: "Although this is only the sixth game in the series, it can already be considered that this is the seventh game."
"I dare to assert that if the Bucks lose this game, they will continue to lose the next tiebreaker."
"And what the Heat have to do is to seize this excellent opportunity and not let the Bucks take away tonight's game."
The Heat coach, Erik Spoelstra, also knows this.
As long as the Heat win tonight's game, he has countless ways to fight for Artest's weakness, and the entire Bucks only has McGrady as a small forward.
For the Heat, that would be great.
The Heat players on the court didn't understand this truth. Wade roared continuously to remind his teammates to cheer up.
James has thrown off the burden tonight, and he also knows what the necessary criteria to be a leader are, so he has to do his part to support the entire team at critical moments.
Wade asked for the ball and didn't give it!
"Heat offense again."
"It's on guard."
"Yo, Mike Miller's shoes are all off, didn't the Heat call a timeout?!"
"Huh?!!! Three points scored!"
"Oh my God, Mike Miller hit this clutch three with his bare soles and only one shoe on his foot!"
"Cousins returned to the defense, pretended not to see, and kicked the shoe out."
"Curry got angry with the ball, took off the braces with one hand and threw them on the ground, hey, where did the braces go, which kind-hearted spectator picked them up."
"Curry turned his head and made a three-pointer. It was a pass from Westbrook. The two have a perfect understanding."
"In this game, the teams on both sides are fighting."
"Artest's injury has become the fuse of this game, and the Heat and Bucks are going crazy."
beep!beep!
In the last minute, the Bucks led 1:114.
The Milwaukee fans at the scene had already stood up and cheered. They knew very well that a lead at this time could be fatal.
The Heat attack.
Westbrook yelled to remind his teammates to defend.
Wade raised his hand for the ball near the center line, and he was ready to make another lore.
But this time, James shook his head and turned him down.
Li Lai, who was off the court, frowned after seeing this scene. What he was most worried about happened.
When Wade holds the ball, Li Lai at least knows what he is going to do, but when James holds the ball, Li Lai doesn't know whether he is going to attack or pass the ball.
James is too smart, he knows what kind of ball to play when and what kind of defense.
"It's better to have a dual-core team or a single-core team." Li Lai couldn't help but say to himself.
Tylen Lue on the side heard this, frowned and said, "Of course it's dual-core."
What is the problem in his opinion.
Li Lai shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "For a team with James, the best way to play is single-core. For other stars, even Kobe and Jordan, it's best to support him."
"Because he is the leading general and the master of the three armies."
on the field.
Facing McGrady's defensive step back, James made a decisive three-pointer with a knife.
With a gap of 4 points, it is unreliable to play against this Bucks team.
Swish!
Go in!
Wade clenched his fist excitedly, completely forgetting about James not giving him the ball in the end, and the friendship between the two would not cause conflicts because of this matter.
The Bucks attack.
Westbrook ran out of time until there were only 10 seconds left in the round, at which point the Bucks started to run.
Curry took the initiative to come out to catch the ball under Westbrook's signal. At this time, the Bucks also have to choose the safest offensive player.
Su Qun said without hesitation: "Of course it is Curry, the league's scoring leader this season!"
In the last round of this season's MVP James scored a three-pointer, this season's scoring leader this season will return.
This round of the series is not only a battle between the Eastern Conference finals, the defending champion and the Big Three, but also the battle between the MVP and the scoring champion.
The moment Curry received the ball, James and Wade rushed out to help defend the double-team at the same time.
Just when everyone thought that Curry would play by himself, he passed the basketball to McGrady in the bottom corner without hesitation.
"Curry actually passed the ball!"
"McGrady is going to execute the final attack?"
At this time, Curry also remembered what Li Lai had been reminding him.
A great shooter does not score every three-pointer. The greatness of a shooter lies in helping himself or his teammates score more easily under the threat of a three-pointer.
At this moment, Curry chose to trust his teammates.
The position where McGrady catches the ball is two points long inside the three-point line, and this position is also his point.
call!
McGrady did not hesitate. As a former four shooting guard, he has the courage and confidence to shoot at critical moments.
Swish!
"and also!"
116: 113.
There are 26 seconds left in the game.
The Heat have no timeouts.
James executed the last attack, Wade did not ask for the ball but motioned James to continue playing.
Go home or stay!
James stood outside the three-point line and controlled the time to 16 seconds.
This time, McGrady chose to defend outside the three-point line with great experience. After all, there was only a 3-point difference.
James held the ball at the top of the arc on the right, and Wade brought it up to cover.
James hit the usual pick-and-roll and Curry switched.
"This is a very good matchup for James. Facing Curry's defense, he must score this goal."
call!
James did not choose to break through, but used a three-pointer.
Tonight he went 5-for-2 from beyond the arc and just hit a [-]-pointer, and he trusts his touch.
Bradley Arena fans have been holding their breath, all eyes on the basketball flying in the air.
Yu Jia tightly held the microphone in front of her, ready to shout at all times.
Duang!
"Strike the iron! James strikes the iron!"
"Bosh gets the offensive rebound!"
"Ray Allen ran to the right corner, Bosh passed the ball!"
"Go!"
"Ray Allen made a move!"
beep!
The red light whistled.
Swish!
"Another lore!"
"Gentleman Lei! Save the Heat and the misery."
"This three-pointer is definitely the greatest three-pointer in Ray Allen's entire career."
116:116 level.
Fans all over the world saw the most exciting game tonight. Even Barkley and Kenny Smith were almost crazy and their voices were hoarse.
The game entered overtime.
The Bucks didn't give the Heat a chance.
In terms of physical strength and personnel preparation, they were also better than the Heat.
In overtime, James and Wade made 3 of 1 shots respectively. The two who had played 48 minutes were already exhausted.
Cousins became the key to saving the entire Bucks in overtime. Two dunks stabilized the morale of the army, and then he killed the game with a foul.
Joel Anthony, another foul off.
126: 122.
Bucks win!
(End of this chapter)
The results of the Battle of Tianwangshan shocked the whole world.
"The Heat lost."
"Now that the big score is 2:3, this is not the time to talk about which team is strong and which team is weak."
"You know, even the biggest teams in the league will beat the league champions one night, and that's the NBA."
"So the big score came to 2:3, and the only thing left for the Heat is to stay."
Su Qun couldn't help thinking of the countless brilliant achievements the Heat had achieved during the regular season.
The 27-game winning streak is the second in NBA history, and James won the MVP again. The combination of the Big Three is so powerful that it will put all the powerful enemies in the league under their horses, and even they have not lost a single game in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
But at the position of the Eastern Conference finals, the Bucks' ability to surpass the team itself completely caught the Heat by surprise.
Especially the Bucks' twin-tower lineup, which was not expected by the whole world before the game.
"Of course, it is too early to say that the Heat have lost. The series is not over yet. The Bucks only have a higher chance of advancing in theory."
"The next game will also be in Milwaukee. I believe the Bucks must want to win the Eastern Conference championship trophy at home."
"So what the Heat are going to face is a Bucks team that has gone home."
Milwaukee.
Bucks fans took to the streets, and vendors on both sides have even started selling the Bucks' Eastern Championship caps.
For the Milwaukee people, these two years have been the best and happiest time since the Bucks won the NBA championship in the 1970-71 season.
They still remember Li Lai's promise on the first day he took over the Bucks. This team will bring a surprise to all fans.
And now, the Bucks have brought them more than just surprises.
"That bastard Li Lai is doing so-so."
"Of course it's just so-so. I can beat the Heat with this lineup."
"Since his work is so-so, let him continue to work. If one day he does not do well, we will have another demonstration."
Bradley Arena.
The green ocean on the scene is crazily surging, and all fans are looking forward to the Bucks' ability to win the Eastern Conference championship trophy tonight.
Li Lai looked at the court with a serious expression.
He knew it wasn't that easy.
At least, the Bucks don't have the strength to beat the Heat 100% in a game.
Now that the Eastern Conference finals have been played, the two teams have already shown their ability to press the bottom of the box, and they will fight against each other. Now it is time for the players on the court to execute the team's tactics better and who can be in better form tonight .
"Having James and Wade alone is enough to cause variables in a game, not to mention that they are both on the same team now."
Li Lai knew that James and Wade had the ability to change their lives against the sky, so he didn't dare to relax their vigilance.
Game start.
Cousins jumped off the ball and the Bucks attacked.
Westbrook played very proactively as soon as he advanced with the ball. This time, facing Wade's pincer attack, he decisively went through the seams and dunked into the basket.
Seeing the goal, Yu Jia screamed again and again, "The Bucks are really planning to end the entire series tonight."
But it was followed by Wade throwing his body into the air with three people in a row, and hit a very difficult backhand layup.
Su Qun said: "The momentum shown by the Heat is not bad. It can be seen that they don't want to give up the entire series."
Then Curry hit a three-pointer, and James used a tank to break through and dunk back.
Cousins followed up with an inside display that destroyed Joel Anthony several times, and Bosh played the best performance in the first quarter of this game tonight, shooting 5 of 4 from mid-range.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks trailed the Heat by 28 points at 32:4.
In the second quarter of the game, Dragic led the team to show off. He broke through Mike Bibby consecutively and succeeded in the paint.
James led the entire team, using assists to revitalize Ray Allen and Mike Miller and other teammates.
The Bucks played a wave of 10:2 offensive high slots, and the Heat responded with a 12:2 offensive high slot.
The second half of the second quarter.
The Bucks started back on the court one after another, and James also came to the rest time at this time. Wade and Bosh played and led the team at the same time.
Taking advantage of James' absence, the Heat finally did not have James + Wade's crazy perimeter blockade, and the entire Heat did not have a serious point guard on the court.
Li Lai seized this opportunity and arranged Yi Jianlian and Westbrook's offensive pick-and-roll tactics, while frantically double-teaming Wade on the defensive end.
At the end of the second quarter, the Bucks trailed by 58 points 60:2.
In the third quarter of the game, James took up the banner of offense and led the team to continue to expand the lead.
This quarter was the easiest time for the Heat to score points.
Artest was knocked into the air again.
The scene on the court looked extremely tragic. James used his strong body to hit the basket time and time again, and Artest used his body to block James again and again.
If you can block it, you can block it, if you can't block it, you can block it.
Because Artest knows very well that if defenders dare not block James' path, then no one can defend James at all.
"In terms of breakthrough, Wade is naturally stronger than James, but in terms of breakthrough power, James is even more terrifying than Wade."
Su Qun couldn't help but say this.
Yu Jia on the side nodded in agreement, that is indeed the case.
If you change to a fan who doesn't often watch the NBA or an NBA fan who doesn't often watch James' games, it may be difficult to understand what this sentence means.
But even fans of this group, if a statistic is placed in front of them, there is a high probability that they can understand it.
"This season, James' scoring efficiency and shooting percentage in the interior are the league's first. Even the center players are hard to compare with him."
When Yu Jia's voice fell, James used a big dream on the court to beat Artest and scored a layup.
While changing footwork skills, James also has a simple movement of turning around and raising his elbow with the ball protector.
This is a normal offensive technique, but it fell on James, and now Artest is fully defending, and this elbow directly knocked the opponent to the ground.
"Artest fell down."
Su Qun can't remember how many times Artest was overthrown by James in this round of the series. The most important thing is that James is very smart and knows how to use the rules to make favorable judgments on the court.
Therefore, it is difficult for every offense of his to be whistled for an offensive foul. Even if Artest is turned over again and again, it is difficult for the referee to sound the whistle.
Because James' timing of the action is very good.
On the contrary, players defending James are more likely to be whistled for defensive fouls, which is also a technique for big players to break through.
beep!beep!
The referee blew his whistle again, and Artest had 4 fouls on his back.
James walked to the free throw line, and he glanced at Artest, who was still on the ground and still didn't get up quickly.
James knows that Artest should have reached his limit in this round of the series. After all, the saying that he has to go to the hospital for a day to play with James is not a joke.
James didn't feel any compassion at this time, nor did he intend to let Artest go.
Instead, he will continue to unswervingly attack Artest in the next round, because the opponent has already committed 4 fouls.
"The audience friends in front of the TV should not think that the pictures on the court are so cruel. The court is also a battlefield. This is what the older generation of players have been telling us and teaching us."
"On the court, these players know best who is weak on the court, what their weakness is, and how to address this weakness next."
"If you see this weakness and give up because of some compassion, then these NBA players are destined not to be on this stage."
"It's like fighting a war. Once the war starts, all sympathy has to be put aside, and winning is the most important thing."
Su Qun's words not only did not let the audience in front of the TV understand the actions of James and the Heat, but felt that Artest was even more tragic at this moment.
On the court, Artest finally stood up slowly.
The referee at the side glanced at his situation and couldn't help asking: "Are you ok?"
Artest stood up, shook his body, and then took a deep breath with some difficulty.
He nodded.
Westbrook remembered what happened in the bathroom and looked anxiously at the coach's bench.
Li Lai also noticed Artest's abnormal behavior on the court, but he didn't call a timeout or call for a substitution, but looked at the opponent with a questioning face.
Tyronn Lue couldn't help but said: "The coach made a correct decision."
Marshall, who has played with the Bucks all over the world for so many years, can naturally understand this sentence at this time.
The Bucks must not replace Artest at this time, because the opponent is the reason why James has not exploded until now.
"no problem!"
Artest yelled suddenly and gave the coach a thumbs up.
This is his response to Li Lai.
Artest's move also gave the Bucks players great confidence on the field.
Westbrook walked over and patted Artest's shoulder excitedly and said, "Brother Ron, good job."
"Fuck." This shot almost broke Artest's defense, and he only felt an extremely strong tingling in his waist.
The game continues.
The Heat attack.
Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen all opened up, and James held the ball at the top of the arc to perform singles.
The Bucks still follow the defensive strategy set throughout the series and try not to double-team James.
In this way, Artest can only defend the opponent alone.
"This ball, Artest's defense is the key!"
"If you can defend it, you can block the Heat's offense and change your style of play. If you can't defend it, then James will have to play like this for the next ball until you play out your Bucks' double-team tactics."
on the field.
James lowered his weight.
Artest took the initiative to give a breakthrough route on the left, trying not to let James go to the right.
Faced with such a defensive strategy, James did not hesitate to attack with the ball to the left.
Artest didn't dare to retreat to defend at this time, because James had a great tendency to shoot when he walked to the left, so Artest posted it the moment James started.
boom!
The sound of strong muscle-to-muscle clashing was extremely clear throughout the Bradley Arena.
After James was blocked from the breakthrough route, he raised his hand and elbowed his back to attack, Yiku!
Another violent push, the breath that Artest had been holding tightly in his mouth was blown out, and at the same time, his body was pushed backwards a step.
O'Neal in the Bucks bench couldn't help shaking his head at this time.
Dameng's footsteps and back hits also cast a shadow on him for a long time. Just now, he looked at James on the court as if he saw his former opponent, Dameng Olajuwon.
The solid footsteps, smart turns, and careful court observation when hitting backs are almost carved out of the same mold as Olajuwon.
"Now Artest can't guard James anymore, but he is still holding on on the court!"
On the commentary desk, Barkley, who was a player, also gave such a conclusion at this time.
He believes that Artest on the court must also know this, so Barkley doesn't understand why Artest insists on defending James alone.
Wouldn't it be good for the entire Bucks to help defend? !
At this time, James was one step closer to the basket. Westbrook wanted to rush in to help defend, but Ray Allen immediately shouted him back when he raised his hand.
James continues to post up!
Erku!
boom!
Artest leaned forward with his upper limbs and tried his best to support his lower limbs back, but even so, he was pushed back again by James.
James then turned around. Fearing Artest's defensive interference, he chose a layup with a very strong physical confrontation.
Snapped!
Artest, who was defenseless, could only pull James down from the air and took the initiative to foul, but he also fell to the ground again in this confrontation.
Yu Jia said: "Artest has once again demonstrated his inside defensive skills to basketball fans all over the world. This is the strength and experience of the first DPOY player in NBA history as a small forward."
Su Qun sighed from the side: "Don't look at James' performance in this round of the series. If there is no Artest, the form on the court will definitely be very different."
"James may have even exploded already."
On the live commentary desk, Kenny Smith expects Artest to stand up at this time, just like he stood up after being knocked down by James countless times in this round of the series.
Barkley couldn't help applauding Artest at this time.
Players born in his era admired such a tough guy the most.
At this moment, the Bucks fans at the scene had already stood up and applauded, just like when Artest put on the Bucks jersey for the Bucks for the first time, they applauded Artest.
The Bucks players on the field also quietly waited for their leader to stand up. They believed that this defensive champion who had wiped their ass for three years would continue to be a leading offensive player in the next game pillars.
In the past, Pierce, Anthony, James, and Kobe. The Bucks had a chance to win if Artest did not greatly limit the opponent.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
After an unknown amount of time on the court, Artest still hadn't stood up, and Li Lai bounced off the bench in a bad mood.
He looked at Artest who fell on the court with wide eyes and shouted: "Go and see how Ron is!"
Westbrook, Curry, Yi Jianlian, Cousins, the four quickly reacted and rushed over.
The referee on the side also had a premonition that something was wrong and was extremely nervous, so he hurried over to check the situation.
James did not leave, but also squeezed past, and Wade was with him.
"Ron?!"
"Brother Ron!"
Amidst the shouts of everyone in the Bucks, Artest slowly turned around and smiled with difficulty.
This scene also relieved all the Bucks players on the field, and Li Lai finally sat on the bench with peace of mind.
The referee signaled the game to continue, and James continued to execute free throws.
Artest refused the support of his teammates, and he chose to climb up unsteadily by himself.
James at the free throw line finally couldn't help asking at this moment: "What are you working so hard for? I suggest you go down and rest."
The voice of this sentence is not small, and it has attracted the attention of the Bucks and Heat players on both sides.
Artest glanced at his coaching bench and saw the worried and questioning look in Li Lai's eyes. He stretched out his thumb without hesitation and shouted: "No problem!"
Artest did not answer James' question, which made James feel a little upset.
But regardless of whether Artest can resist his impact, as long as Artest continues to stay on the court, James will definitely continue to attack this point without hesitation.
This is his basketball philosophy, always calmly looking for the opponent's weaknesses on the court.
In the next round, the Heat continued to attack.
It's still the familiar all-player, and it's still the familiar James high-position singles.
Artest single defense again.
A faint sense of worry appeared in Li Lai's heart. He glanced at Tyronn Lue and said, "The next dead ball, replace Ron."
Tyronn Lue, who heard this sentence, was shocked and said: "Coach, James will probably play the entire second half of the game. After all, this is a life-and-death battle. We replaced Ron at this time. Who will defend James?"
Li Lai didn't answer, because Tyronn Lue was no longer the Tyronn Lue three years ago, and the opponent was able to assess the situation and everything that happened on the court.
So Tyronn Lue is very clear that there is no reason to replace Artest at this time.
But Tyronn Lue also knows the reason why Li Lai did not choose to answer this question, just like Artest on the court did not choose to answer James' question directly.
"Both the coach and Ron have their own persistence."
There is no reason for Li Lai to replace Artest.
on the field.
James continued to play singles, and as always, went to the basket, and knocked Artest to the ground again.
James looked at the black figure who fell on the ground, not knowing what he was worried about.
Wade looked at the black figure that fell on the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Under the shouts of the Bucks fans at the scene, the black shadow moved slightly and stood up again with difficulty.
"MVP!"
"MVP!!"
"MVP!!!"
Artest stood up, once again enjoying the shouts of MVP.
He has heard the shouts of MVP countless times throughout his career, but only the fans of the Milwaukee Bucks shouted to him.
Artest raised his head slowly at this moment, his movements were extremely slow but his eyes were firm.
He watched James walk over still full of fighting spirit, and finally gave the answer to the question just now.
"Because I'm the leader of the Bucks!"
"A leader handpicked by the coach!"
"I want to carry this team forward without fear!"
"This is, my perseverance!"
After the shout, Artest's body finally couldn't bear the pain and fell directly to the ground.
The referee noticed something was wrong, and quickly signaled the Bucks' medical staff to enter the field, but James was still standing straight under the shout, and his heart was greatly shocked.
From the first day he was drafted by the Cavaliers, James was a hero in Cleveland, charged with changing the city's tragic fate.
He led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, played a championship, became the number one regular season record, and he also won a series of awards such as MVP and best rookie.
Some media even selected James as the second most powerful player in the NBA, second only to Kobe.
But does James really know how to be the leader of a team?
Looking at his good brother Wade on the court, and Artest surrounded by countless Bucks doctors, James didn't really understand until this moment, what is the difference between him and the leader of a team.
"It's only a little short."
The team doctor who rushed up to first check Artest's injury was shocked after repeatedly confirming Artest's injury.
He yelled in the direction of the Bucks coaching bench: "Artest's ribs were broken a few days ago! This is an old injury!"
what!
Li Lai, who heard the news, seemed to have suffered a big blow in his heart.
Artest's ribs were broken long ago?Then how he has been fighting against James on the court until now!
James, who also heard this sentence, was even more shocked in his eyes. Looking at Artest's fallen figure, he finally understood how powerful the leader is.
Artest, who fell to the ground, blocked all the surrounding voices at this time. He knew the current situation of his body better than anyone else, and he also knew what was going to happen next.
"Bucks, I can't go on with you anymore."
"Coach, not having me here should cause you some trouble."
"My teammates, you must help the coach solve these problems."
At this moment, Artest thought of Reggie Miller, the former boss, and how he led the gang of old brothers.
At this moment, Artest smiled like a child, warm as spring.
"Boss, what you once taught me, now I will pass it on."
Artest hugged Westbrook who was squatting beside him. He looked at all the Bucks teammates in front of him, restrained all his smiles, and said seriously.
"Russell is our leader from now on."
After finishing speaking, Artest looked at Westbrook and said with guilt on his face: "I originally wanted you to take over this important task during the regular season next season, but now, I can only hand him over at such a dangerous time. Here you go."
"Russell, take the brothers to win!"
The Bucks team doctor quickly carried the stretcher into the court, and Artest didn't see Li Lai until this time.
He saw the reproachful look on the coach's face. Artest knew what Li Lai was complaining about. If it wasn't for the fact that he was seriously injured, he probably would have been scolded by Li Lai.
Artest looked at Li Lai and couldn't help but smile. He remembered the time when Li Lai went to his house to sign O'Neal after winning the championship last season.
On the way to Jermaine O'Neill's hometown, Li Lai accidentally hummed a song.
"Coach, can you hum that song for me again?"
Li Lai did not hesitate, nodded at this moment, and hummed softly.
"Today, I watched the snow drift by in the cold night, drifting far away with a chilled heart, chasing after the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the shadows in the fog, the sky and the sea are wide, you and I will change."
"How many times, faced with cold eyes and ridicule, I never gave up the ideal in my heart. I was in a trance for a moment, and if I felt something lost, the love in my heart had unknowingly faded."
"Forgive me for being uninhibited, indulgent and loving freedom in this life, and I am also afraid that one day I will fall."
Artest has been carried out of the player channel by the team doctor. During this period, he raised his hand and waved towards the sky. All the Bucks fans in front of him are like an ocean.
Li Lai closed his eyes for a long time before opening them. He looked firmly at the Heat players, full of fighting spirit.
Cousins, who has been taught by Artest throughout the season, had eyes dancing at this moment. He vigorously raised his right hand to wipe it, exhaled through his nose, and took a deep breath.
"My Nima!"
The game continues.
McGrady was sent to the court when he was in danger.
When he was on the court, O'Neal pulled McGrady and said sternly: "Help me teach that bastard James a lesson."
McGrady felt the power in O'Neal's hands. If this was a regular season game, he might have rushed to the court to teach James a lesson.
On-site commentary desk.
Barkley couldn't help but recall a past event that year, "The rookie Artest broke Jordan's ribs and left the training ground, and the old Artest was broken and left the court."
"It's fun to think about."
"But the Heat will not be soft on this. It is a matter of whether the team will go home or stay. Instead, they will attack more fiercely after Artest is off the court."
on the field.
McGrady is facing James.
James once again chose to hit the basket, but this time the Bucks decisively carried out a double-team defense that shrank the inside.
"Is this the iron bucket formation of the Pistons back then?!"
Su Qun was shocked when he saw the defensive change of the Bucks on the field.
But after thinking about it carefully, the Bucks at this time have only this way to limit James after losing Artest.
Of course, such a defensive strategy will undoubtedly give the Heat a lot of open shooting opportunities from the outside.
"I have to praise one thing. The Bucks reacted extremely quickly after Artest was injured and left the field. They almost took the best style of play under this lineup."
Under Barkley's expectant eyes, James raised his hand and passed the ball to the most trusted Ray Allen in the bottom corner after being assisted by the defense.
The bottom corner position is Ray Allen's most accurate point.
Curry seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and rushed over at the same time as James took off to pass the ball. He was originally not close enough to the penalty area. At this time, Ray Allen was still outside the shortest corner three-point line, so Curry returned. The speed of defense is not slow.
"Defend!"
Ray Allen saw that Curry, who was rushing over, did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball decisively to Mike Miller at the top of the arc.
"This position is far enough from the penalty area, and James is still topping the paint area. The Bucks' defense is too late."
Westbrook remembered Artest's instructions, so no matter whether he could return to the defense in time at this time, he rushed out with all his strength.
James pushed Westbrook in the process, slowing down the opponent's return to defense.
Westbrook was two full steps away when Mike Miller caught the ball.
Raise your hand and move your wrist.
Swish!
"The ball is in!"
98: 100.
Westbrook pressed his hands and signaled his teammates not to worry, and will still play firmly in accordance with the coach's arrangement for the next round.
The Bucks attack.
Cousins insisted on the ball inside, and Westbrook quickly transferred the ball and passed it in.
James mainly helps defend the inside, Wade mainly helps defend the outside, the Heat have a clear division of labor, James decisively shrinks the inside to double-team Cousins at this time.
"Cousins still has to defend first, otherwise he can score 20+20 on the Heat."
Cousins, who received the ball, didn't hold grudges against Artest's injury as Barkley imagined.
After Cousins saw James rushing into the inside, he passed the ball to the right 45° angle very steadily.
McGrady received the ball, wide open.
Swish!
in!
101: 100.
Seeing the goal, Yu Jia clenched his right fist and said excitedly: "Without Artest, it is indeed difficult for the Bucks to defend James, but at the same time, McGrady's overall offense has improved to a higher level. , Do you, the Heat, dare to use infinite rotation defense?"
At this time, Su Qun looked at the court, and there were only 4 minutes left in the game.
Every goal on the pitch is a matter of life and death for both teams.
Without Artest, the Bucks definitely don't want to drag the game into a tie-break, and the Heat also firmly believe that without Artest, as long as they drag into the tie-break, the Bucks will definitely not be able to beat them.
Barkley couldn't help but said: "Although this is only the sixth game in the series, it can already be considered that this is the seventh game."
"I dare to assert that if the Bucks lose this game, they will continue to lose the next tiebreaker."
"And what the Heat have to do is to seize this excellent opportunity and not let the Bucks take away tonight's game."
The Heat coach, Erik Spoelstra, also knows this.
As long as the Heat win tonight's game, he has countless ways to fight for Artest's weakness, and the entire Bucks only has McGrady as a small forward.
For the Heat, that would be great.
The Heat players on the court didn't understand this truth. Wade roared continuously to remind his teammates to cheer up.
James has thrown off the burden tonight, and he also knows what the necessary criteria to be a leader are, so he has to do his part to support the entire team at critical moments.
Wade asked for the ball and didn't give it!
"Heat offense again."
"It's on guard."
"Yo, Mike Miller's shoes are all off, didn't the Heat call a timeout?!"
"Huh?!!! Three points scored!"
"Oh my God, Mike Miller hit this clutch three with his bare soles and only one shoe on his foot!"
"Cousins returned to the defense, pretended not to see, and kicked the shoe out."
"Curry got angry with the ball, took off the braces with one hand and threw them on the ground, hey, where did the braces go, which kind-hearted spectator picked them up."
"Curry turned his head and made a three-pointer. It was a pass from Westbrook. The two have a perfect understanding."
"In this game, the teams on both sides are fighting."
"Artest's injury has become the fuse of this game, and the Heat and Bucks are going crazy."
beep!beep!
In the last minute, the Bucks led 1:114.
The Milwaukee fans at the scene had already stood up and cheered. They knew very well that a lead at this time could be fatal.
The Heat attack.
Westbrook yelled to remind his teammates to defend.
Wade raised his hand for the ball near the center line, and he was ready to make another lore.
But this time, James shook his head and turned him down.
Li Lai, who was off the court, frowned after seeing this scene. What he was most worried about happened.
When Wade holds the ball, Li Lai at least knows what he is going to do, but when James holds the ball, Li Lai doesn't know whether he is going to attack or pass the ball.
James is too smart, he knows what kind of ball to play when and what kind of defense.
"It's better to have a dual-core team or a single-core team." Li Lai couldn't help but say to himself.
Tylen Lue on the side heard this, frowned and said, "Of course it's dual-core."
What is the problem in his opinion.
Li Lai shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "For a team with James, the best way to play is single-core. For other stars, even Kobe and Jordan, it's best to support him."
"Because he is the leading general and the master of the three armies."
on the field.
Facing McGrady's defensive step back, James made a decisive three-pointer with a knife.
With a gap of 4 points, it is unreliable to play against this Bucks team.
Swish!
Go in!
Wade clenched his fist excitedly, completely forgetting about James not giving him the ball in the end, and the friendship between the two would not cause conflicts because of this matter.
The Bucks attack.
Westbrook ran out of time until there were only 10 seconds left in the round, at which point the Bucks started to run.
Curry took the initiative to come out to catch the ball under Westbrook's signal. At this time, the Bucks also have to choose the safest offensive player.
Su Qun said without hesitation: "Of course it is Curry, the league's scoring leader this season!"
In the last round of this season's MVP James scored a three-pointer, this season's scoring leader this season will return.
This round of the series is not only a battle between the Eastern Conference finals, the defending champion and the Big Three, but also the battle between the MVP and the scoring champion.
The moment Curry received the ball, James and Wade rushed out to help defend the double-team at the same time.
Just when everyone thought that Curry would play by himself, he passed the basketball to McGrady in the bottom corner without hesitation.
"Curry actually passed the ball!"
"McGrady is going to execute the final attack?"
At this time, Curry also remembered what Li Lai had been reminding him.
A great shooter does not score every three-pointer. The greatness of a shooter lies in helping himself or his teammates score more easily under the threat of a three-pointer.
At this moment, Curry chose to trust his teammates.
The position where McGrady catches the ball is two points long inside the three-point line, and this position is also his point.
call!
McGrady did not hesitate. As a former four shooting guard, he has the courage and confidence to shoot at critical moments.
Swish!
"and also!"
116: 113.
There are 26 seconds left in the game.
The Heat have no timeouts.
James executed the last attack, Wade did not ask for the ball but motioned James to continue playing.
Go home or stay!
James stood outside the three-point line and controlled the time to 16 seconds.
This time, McGrady chose to defend outside the three-point line with great experience. After all, there was only a 3-point difference.
James held the ball at the top of the arc on the right, and Wade brought it up to cover.
James hit the usual pick-and-roll and Curry switched.
"This is a very good matchup for James. Facing Curry's defense, he must score this goal."
call!
James did not choose to break through, but used a three-pointer.
Tonight he went 5-for-2 from beyond the arc and just hit a [-]-pointer, and he trusts his touch.
Bradley Arena fans have been holding their breath, all eyes on the basketball flying in the air.
Yu Jia tightly held the microphone in front of her, ready to shout at all times.
Duang!
"Strike the iron! James strikes the iron!"
"Bosh gets the offensive rebound!"
"Ray Allen ran to the right corner, Bosh passed the ball!"
"Go!"
"Ray Allen made a move!"
beep!
The red light whistled.
Swish!
"Another lore!"
"Gentleman Lei! Save the Heat and the misery."
"This three-pointer is definitely the greatest three-pointer in Ray Allen's entire career."
116:116 level.
Fans all over the world saw the most exciting game tonight. Even Barkley and Kenny Smith were almost crazy and their voices were hoarse.
The game entered overtime.
The Bucks didn't give the Heat a chance.
In terms of physical strength and personnel preparation, they were also better than the Heat.
In overtime, James and Wade made 3 of 1 shots respectively. The two who had played 48 minutes were already exhausted.
Cousins became the key to saving the entire Bucks in overtime. Two dunks stabilized the morale of the army, and then he killed the game with a foul.
Joel Anthony, another foul off.
126: 122.
Bucks win!
