Chapter 222 After all, I failed to defeat the whole world again
O'Neal walked to the free throw line, and the first free throw even made a three-point shot.

It seems that O'Neill's mentality is a bit bad.

Li Lei went up and patted O'Neill on the back, signaling O'Neill to bow his head.

Li Lei stuck to O'Neill's ear and said, "They used the shark-slaying tactic, which shows that they have come to a dead end and have nothing to do with us. So it is they who should be upset, not us."

O'Neill nodded.

However, this sentence had little effect on O'Neal. He stumbled several times on his second free throw and finally fell into the basket.

2 of 1 free throws.

Plus the previous 2 free throws, 4 of 1.

65: 69.

The 76ers took advantage of the free throw and replaced the substitute insider Mark Jackson.

Iverson hit the inside of the Heat, fouled twice again, and made 2 of 2 free throws.

67: 69.

Seeing the team slowly approaching the score, and O'Neal's poor shooting rate of 4 of 1 free throws, Coach O'Brien, who was a little nervous because of the first shark attack, became bold and began to "chase" O'Neal without any scruples.

"Mark, as soon as your opponent serves, hug Shaq!"

O'Brien yelled brazenly.

Shhh!
Of course the Miami fans were upset and booed him loudly.

But in order to win, O'Brien no longer cares.

The Heat serve.

O'Neill looked at Mark Jackson who was running over and was furious, but in the end he chose to accept his fate.

Slashing a shark is like a rape, since you can't resist, just enjoy it with your eyes closed.

Drip!

O'Neal was sent to the free throw line again.

Bang!

The first free throw was shot too bluntly, and the basketball bounced off the ball.

In the second free throw, the basketball spun around the hoop several times before finally falling into it.

2 free throws.

67: 70.

Compared with O'Neal's 46.1% free throw shooting this season, it is considered a routine operation.

"Good job!"

Li Lei yelled loudly and went up to give O'Neill a high five.

O'Neal: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that you are my little brother, I would have slapped you to death.

This is called doing a good job?

Li Lei saw O'Neal's confusion, and pointed to Pat Riley and Eric Spoelstra on the bench.

O'Neill followed Li Lei's fingers and found that the two coaches nodded at him with relaxed faces.

The two of them were not bothered at all by being overtaken by the shark hacking tactics.

The 76ers attack.

Iverson broke through to attract double-teams and made a wonderful pass to Korver in the bottom corner.

Korver raised his knife and dropped it, piercing his heart with an arrow.

Swish!
70:70 level.

Relying on the shark-cutting tactics, the 76ers once again caught up with the score.

Later, they even overtook the score.

End of three quarters, 76:72.

The 76ers led by 4 points.

Having tasted the sweetness of cutting sharks, Coach O'Brien is like a smoker who has smoked marijuana, unable to stop.

He even wanted to keep fouling O'Neal at the beginning of the fourth quarter, quickly fouled 5 times, and continued to send O'Neal to the free throw line.

But his assistant coach produced a data sheet.

Dalembert, 3 offenders.

Mark Jackson, 3 offenders.

Weber, 3 offenders.

Josh Davis, 3 convicts.

……

The 76ers' main inside rotation all got 3 fouls.

The hacking of the shark was so enjoyable that I forgot to control fouls.

Know that the active roster for a game is only 12 people, and there are usually 4 or 5 big men.

You can't keep chopping sharks.

Coach Jim O'Brien woke up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Next, it is not a question of whether you want to kill the shark, but a question of how the Heat attack your inside.

In the live broadcast room, Phil Jackson shook his head: "There is no perfect tactic in the world, especially an extreme tactic like hacking a shark. It has to be used at a critical moment. Jim is too young!"

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Wade played with a substitute lineup, hitting the inside again and again.

Mark Jackson and Josh Davis committed their fourth fouls.

The Heat easily reversed the score.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, 4:82.

The head coaches of both sides changed into the starting lineup at the same time with a tacit understanding.

The Heat attack.

With the help of Haslem's pick and roll, Li Lei got rid of Iguodala and went straight to the inside to kill.

Dalembert rushed to defend.

Instead of advancing, Li Lei retreated. He cheated his opponent with a feint, and then directly rubbed against Dalembert.

Drip!

Foul.

Dalembert also has 4 fouls on his back.

Li Lei went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.

82: 84.

The 76ers attack.

Iverson scored 2 points with a difficult fadeaway jumper.

84: 84.

Looking back, Wade continued to attack the inside.

Dalembert, who was supplementing the defense, faltered at the last moment and dared not go up to the confrontation.

Wade seized the opportunity, rose from the ground, and smashed the ball into the basket.

84: 86.

Troubled by fouls, the 76ers did not dare to increase their strength inside. The Heat scored frequently and gradually widened the gap.

The last 4 minutes.

87: 91.

Coach O'Brien used the zone again.

Only this time, it was forced to protect the inside players.

Then Li Lei hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

87: 94.

This is Li Lei's 35th point.

Looking back, Iverson faced Wade's defense and made a limit shot from outside the three-point line.

Swish!
Iverson's answerball.

90: 94.

Tonight's Iverson is simply a god, and once again gave the 76ers a glimmer of hope.

But soon, Li Lei broke through and caused Weber's foul, went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.

90: 96.

Li Lei's 37th point.

More importantly, it was Webber's fifth foul.

Once again, he will be forced to leave.

Time is running out.

The 76ers put on a three-point shooter, obviously wanting to chase points.

Riley urged on the sidelines: Expand the defense, give 2 points, and defend 3 points.

The Heat defended the three-point line like a fortress.

But under such circumstances, Iverson forced a shot from outside the three-point line, and the basketball hit the basket.

93: 96.

The 76ers still have a chance.

Today's Iverson is simply the savior of the 76ers.

The Miami fans are all nervous, this ball is critical.

As long as you score, you can ensure victory.

If you fail to score, your opponent has a chance.

Pat Riley called a timeout and arranged offensive tactics.

Coach O'Brien is also laying out defenses.

"Keep the inside, the Heat will definitely hit the inside! As long as they get 2 points or free throws, they can ensure victory, so they will not take the risk of three-pointers."

In this era, players and coaches are still superstitious about a saying: the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate!

So Coach O'Brien still bets his defense on the inside.

The Heat serve.

Li Lei pushed the ball forward by himself, and observed the 76ers' defense by the way.

The 76ers hoarded heavily in the paint, going around the front to defend O'Neal and guard against Wade.

The defensive strategy is clear at a glance.

There is only one Iguodala guarding the three-point line, waiting for Li Lei.

Li Lei thought of Pat Riley's tactical arrangement: Stone, you arrange the last ball yourself.

That's right, this is Riley's arrangement, and it's impossible not to believe it.

This tactic is too random!

But if you think about it, wouldn't it be best to let a guy who scored 37 points tonight choose how to play?
This is like the Cavaliers in later generations. Director Lu looked at all the players and arranged tactics: Our tactic is to give the ball to James.

Or the Clippers later: Give the ball to Kawhi!

There were still two meters away from the three-point line, and Li Lei pulled it up directly.

Iguodala: "..."

You... why are you playing like this again?

Coach O'Brien was also in a daze, what about playing inside?
"Rebound! Rebound!"

However, O'Brien reacted quickly and immediately shouted to the field.

It doesn't matter if Li Lei plays like this, as long as he can't make a shot, the 76ers have enough time to organize a counterattack.

However... the basketball crossed a high parabola, piercing the heart with an arrow.

Swish!
93: 99.

"Oh oh oh!"

The American Airlines Center arena exploded instantly, and Miami fans raised their arms in worship.

Zhang Weiping wiped the cold sweat off his brow knowingly, and said with a smile, "How dare you throw a stone! But no matter how you throw it, it's amazing!"

On the other hand, Coach O'Brien sat down on the bench, feeling depressed.

Everyone knows that the 76ers have no chance.

But Iverson didn't give up, served quickly, rushed to the frontcourt, and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

Bang!

However, the Heat had been prepared for a long time. Wade and Jones Sr. flanked Iverson, causing Iverson to miss a long shot.

Haslem grabbed the rebound and hugged it tightly.

Webb rushed over to grab it, looked at the score, and finally gave up.

That's too late!

Drip!

With the long whistle at the end of the game, the Heat won the first game of the series.

Iverson took off his armguard and shook his head helplessly, looking very disappointed.

He went down to earth today, but after all, he failed to defeat the whole world again.
