Chapter 372 Chapter 370: "Dragon King"'s wild words
2.2 seconds before the end of the game, Paul George fouled "The Flash" Wade from beyond the three-point line.This penalty caused the entire Bankers Life Arena to boil, because at this time, the Pacers were just two points behind the Miami Heat!

"This penalty almost killed the game, almost killed the game!" Kenny Smith danced on the commentary stage. No one expected that the two sides would fight so fiercely even in overtime.

At this time, the calmest person in the audience was undoubtedly Henson Joe.

In the last 2.2 seconds, the Pacers trailed the Heat by 2 points, and George got 3 free throw opportunities.In other words, even if George makes all three free throws, the Pacers can only lead the Heat by 1 point.But the time given to them was as long as 2.2 seconds!
Henson glanced at LeBron James and Wade. One of these two guys has scored a triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and the other has scored 19 points, and his shooting percentage is as high as 60%. "Zhan Wei" 2.2 performed extremely well in this game today. It is not difficult for them to score a point within [-] seconds!
In the quiet atmosphere that the fans worked hard to create, Paul George made all three free throws.Spoelstra called to stop the game, and the Heat still had a full 2.2 seconds to change everything.

Out of bounds free throw, Wade gave the ball to LeBron who cut to the basket.LeBron made a nice spin past Leonard for a light layup.

"Damn it." The moment he saw LeBron make a layup, Henson had already buried his head.

Sure enough, 2.2 seconds is too long for the Heat
Three hours ago, at the Bankers Life Arena, the Eastern Conference battle between the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers officially started.

Since the Pacers lost to the Bulls in the first game, they really haven't given Thibodeau any chance.In Chicago, the Pacers won two straight.After returning to Indianapolis, the Pacers became more and more courageous.In the fifth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, although the Bulls played very bravely and hard, they finally lost 94 to 91 regrettably.The Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals 4-1 without feeling too much pressure.

On the other hand, as Henson said, the New York Knicks have no way to counterattack the Miami Heat.Although Carmelo Anthony was considered to have a better prospect than LeBron when he first entered the league, in fact, the gap between the two has widened.In the matchup with James, Anthony took less than the slightest advantage.In other words, the Knicks' biggest advantage no longer exists.And JR Smith, the nerve knife, naturally cannot be compared with Wade.

The Knicks' two major scoring points are not stronger than each other, which is why Henson is full of confidence in the Heat.

The Heat seemed to save their energy, and passed the level easily. 4 to 2, although it took one more game than the Pacers, there was no surprise in the ending after all.

And just like that, for the second year in a row, the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat met in the Eastern Conference Finals!And there is no doubt that this is a series like sparks hitting the earth, even comparable to the finals!

In the regular season, the Pacers won a record of 25 consecutive victories and a record of 72 wins.And the Miami Heat are not to be outdone, the record of 27 wins in the regular season is equally great.

Although the Pacers' 72 wins overshadowed the light of all teams, the Miami Heat's 66 wins should not be underestimated either.

It is these two teams that have almost no rivals in the regular season, and finally meet under the eyes of everyone.And the intensity of this game is also worthy of the fans' expectations.

The game was very intense from the very beginning. The Pacers' defense caused the Heat a headache. After 2 minutes of the game, the Heat failed to score.Of course, the Heat's defense is also not loose. The Pacers only scored 2 points 4 minutes before the game.The biggest difference between the two sides in this quarter is only 4 points. After the first quarter, the Heat only ended the battle with a 22-21 lead of 1 point.

After the start of the second quarter, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides became stronger.Battier kneeled Horford's groin for a layup and got a flagrant foul.West complained about his inside partner and broke Battier's nose with an elbow. Battier has once again bloodied the game since the 2009 Western Conference semifinals.

What the fierce confrontation brought about was the problem Henson left for Thibodeau in the last round of the series-the number of fouls by inside players was out of control!
As we all know, the biggest advantage of the Pacers over the Heat is inside!West and Horford can cause major trouble for the Heat inside, both on the offensive and defensive ends.

But under fierce confrontation, West and Horford both committed 4 fouls in the third quarter.The Heat's breakthrough was very resolute, and both Wade and James happened to be masters of foul making.

In this case, Henson had to rotate inside players in advance.Sometimes, even had to let Leonard play the fourth position.However, the result of this is that the Pacers' inside advantage almost disappeared, and James and Wade's attacking frame became extremely easy.Leonard has played really well this season, but the opponent is always LeBron.It is impossible for Leonard to limit James very well in every game.

Fortunately, Paul's stable organization allows the Pacers to always recover quickly after losing points.Before the end of the 48-minute game, Paul George equalized the score with a super long three-pointer, and the game was able to enter overtime.

George's three-pointer was two meters away from the three-point line, and James didn't even go up to interfere.It's just that I didn't expect that James' omissions turned the Heat's victory into passing fine sand.

After the game entered overtime, the two teams played even more inextricably.At 1 minute and 58 seconds into overtime, West made 6 fouls.In order to strengthen the protection of the basket, Henson dispatched the "Twin Towers" lineup of Anderson and Horford.As everyone knows, Bosh, who was oppressed to only grab 4 rebound 1 minutes before overtime, grabbed the most critical offensive rebound at the last moment of the game.

After grabbing the rebound, he passed the ball to James on the outside. James rushed forward with the ball, with Leonard hanging on his body, and then slammed at "Birdman" Anderson.Under such a double attack, LeBron made a mistake and made a foul!

In this way, James gave the Heat a key 2-point advantage.

At the last moment, it was still Paul George!In regular time, his super long-range three-pointer saved the team.In overtime, his three-point foul outside the three-point line once again brought the Pacers back to life.But when the whole Bankers Life Arena was celebrating and excited, Henson couldn't laugh.

That guy LeBron is in amazing condition today!He is determined to take away at least one victory in the away game!

So, there was a layup where he cut in and caught the ball, and then turned around and made an extraordinary layup.

At the moment when the red light on the backboard came on, the basketball was also caught.At that moment, Henson covered his forehead, and around him were the sighs of Pacers fans.

"Lore! Lore! Lore! This is definitely the greatest buzzer-beater in the history of LeBron James' career! The Pacers resisted tenaciously, and they fought to the end without David West! But in the end, the Heat still bit off a piece of flesh from the defending champion!"

Kenny Smith is completely insane, and the game-winning shot is always the most blood-inflating moment on the basketball court.In the past, the Pacers killed games in other people's home courts.Today, they also experienced the feeling of being killed by others.

James and his teammates hugged each other. They were extremely happy. They had prepared for this game for a long time, and now they finally paid off!They want to pay back the humiliation of last year!The championship, the Heat No. 6 is already salivating for the championship.He didn't want to wait any longer, no matter who came across him, even if it was a 72-win team, LeBron would crush it!

"Just one goal away, damn it!" Frank Vogel gritted his teeth unwillingly. In the last 2.2 seconds, God knows that such a thing would happen.

"No, Frank. It wasn't a one-ball thing. We were targeted by the Miamis throughout the game. We studied them in advance, and they, I'm afraid, have been studying us as early as the regular season. David and Al's foul troubles, tough defense cut off our connection inside and outside. Without these, the last lore shot would not have been possible. I think we have busy time, man, busy time."

Henson stood on the sidelines and patted every passing player as a sign of comfort.They tried their best today and fought the Heat until the last minute of overtime. They did a good enough job, and Henson has nothing to complain about.

At this time, at the entrance of the player tunnel, Chris Bosh was being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

As an insider, Bosh only scored 2 rebounds despite being suppressed throughout the game.But one of those two rebounds saved the game, and Bosh's 2-point scoring performance was really good.

Henson was just passing by, but the words of the "Dragon King" made Henson stop suddenly.

"We have to play better," Bosh said. "Our performance is not at the championship level. It is difficult to win this series, let alone the finals. Whether it is offense or defense, we have to strengthen. Yes, we won, but I think we should win more simply, instead of winning the game by lore."

As soon as Bosh finished speaking, he saw Henson's sharp eyes. "Dragon King" couldn't help swallowing, because Hansen's murderous intent was too strong!
Henson wanted to go straight to the camera to taunt Bosh, but the results of the game and his more stable mentality didn't allow him to do so.

So, Henson just nodded slightly to Bosh, then clenched his fists and left the court.

"It's easier to win?" Henson said to himself in his heart, "I will let you get what you want!"
