Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 137 Where is the future of the Heat?

"Want to score 62 points? Hmph! Don't even think about it!" Wade glared at Lu Ming.

"Now, I have scored 47 points in the first three quarters. I still need 15 points. Why, 15 points in a single quarter, is it difficult for you?" Lu Ming asked back.

Fake, for a shooting guard, it's really not difficult!
"But, no matter what, tonight, I will make what you say become a joke!" Wade's eyes were almost bloodthirsty.

"Joke? No, no, so far, I have never failed to realize what I said. You should understand that monks never lie." Lu Ming said.

"Bullshit! I'll prevent you to death!" Wade cursed and walked away.

"Hey, Lu Ming shouldn't have responded to the fans' voices in advance. In this way, Wade and the Heat will definitely stop him from scoring at all costs." Zhang Weiping said with a frown.

"It shouldn't be." Sun Zhengping also said.

However, in China, even in the middle of the night, because of Lu Ming's words, the fans watching the live broadcast were excited, and the excitement in the room could hardly be suppressed, and they shouted loudly.

Then wake up the sleeping roommate or family member.

"What are you crying and howling, don't let me sleep!" This was probably the mother's voice from the bedroom.

However, some people woke up after being woken up.

As for falling in love with basketball and becoming a fan of Lu Ming because of this night's game, that's another story.

"Perhaps, this is also a strategy of Lu? Use the Heat's determination to prevent him from scoring 62 points to help the team take a psychological advantage? Perhaps, there will be a lot of three-team scenes in the following games." On the scene, Kenny Smith analyzed from another angle in the TNT commentary seat.

According to what he learned, the Chinese are best at strategizing.

And when he explained the Knicks game, he met the chief assistant of the coaching staff more than once, the same name as Kenny Atkinson, and he recommended "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to himself.

Kenny Smith flipped through it when he had nothing to do, and remembered that there was a chapter called "Strategy".

Buckley did not agree with this conspiracy theory, and retorted, "Kenny, no matter who says such a thing, he has only one result, and that is to realize it. The great Sir Charles, that's what he did!"

"Are you talking about kissing that donkey's ass?" Kenny Smith smiled badly.

"Oh, Shet, Kenny, let's not talk about ass today!" Barkley reached out to cover Kenny Smith's mouth.

"Stop! Charles, if I remember correctly, you just came back from the bathroom?" Kenny Smith immediately avoided, with a look of disgust.

"Hey!" Buckley smiled obscenely.

At this time, the final decisive battle of the fourth quarter also began.

The Knicks' possession of the ball was exactly as Kenny Smith expected. As soon as Lu Ming received the ball, Wade stepped forward to defend oppressively. At the same time, there were two other outside players from the Heat, ready to double-team.

It's not that they haven't thought about the consequences of double-teaming, but compared to winning or losing, preventing Lu Ming from scoring has become the main theme of the game.

Lu Ming was not in a hurry to score.

Facing Wade's defense, he immediately distributed the ball and started running.

In terms of absolute speed, Lu Ming may not be as fast as Wade, but anyone who has watched his game knows that in terms of off-ball running ability, Lu Ming has almost got Ray Allen's true pass.

Moreover, after running all over the field, I didn't feel tired.

Some people even wondered, is it true that when Lu Ming was young, he also practiced running without the ball by walking the dog?

No, the first ball let him run out of the shooting space, received a pass from David Lee, immediately shot from outside the three-point line, and made a hit.

The feel of the third quarter continued.

"Brat, you don't learn back-to-back singles very well, but you are good at running without the ball!" Seeing this, Kobe scolded.

And a little proud.

Sure enough, our technology cannot be learned by anyone who wants to say it.

On the court, the Heat attacked, and Wade returned a two-pointer.

Switching to the Knicks' offense, Lu Ming didn't catch the ball directly, but used any player to run without the ball, and his teammates didn't propose a shot. Only when Lu Ming gave up his running position and stopped in the corner to stop catching the ball, did he attack.

A few minutes later, it allowed the Heat to catch up with the score again.

105:111, the Knicks only lead by 6 points.

"This won't work. If the ball is not in Lu's hands, it will be easier for the Heat to defend." Barkley analyzed.

D'Antoni also realized this, called a timeout, made substitutions and adjustments, and then told Lu Ming, "Lu, you still need to control the ball and attract their double-teams, so that others can attack more confidently."

"I understand." Lu Ming gasped for breath and nodded.

"It's the same with you, when you have an opportunity, attack decisively! Only in this way can relieve Lu's defensive pressure!" D'Antoni said to the other players who were about to play.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

After the timeout ended, Lu Ming started to control the ball after halftime, and intentionally stayed away from the three-point line, so as not to give the Heat the opportunity to double-team immediately.

After all, not everyone will start being double-teamed as soon as they cross the center line.

"Hey, Dwyane, we're only 62 points away from 9 points!" Lu Ming suddenly shouted at Wade two steps away from the three-point line.

"Is it wrong? It's still 12 points away?"

Wade showed the same puzzled expression as the audience heard from the sidelines.

But in the next second, Lu Ming suddenly received the ball, raised his hand and threw a super long three-pointer.

"Faco!"

Wade froze for a moment, then turned his head quickly, praying to God, don't go in.

However, the God he prayed to, in front of the gods and Buddhas, decided to retreat today and chose to sit on the wall and watch.

After all, He also knows that after the game, people will definitely say, "God is playing in the Knicks' 8 ball today!"

You can sit back and enjoy the success, so why bother to end it yourself?

As for the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there are not many people who say so, and most of them will say that the Buddha's light shines on Madison, so what?
Here, after all, is his basic disk.

So a three-pointer with insight into the basket told Wade that now, Lu Ming is only 62 points away from breaking Kobe's scoring record at Madison Square Garden with 9 points in a single game!

"Lu Ming! Lu Ming! Lu Ming!"

"9 points! 9 points! 9 points!"

"62! 62! 62!"

The score difference has reached single digits, and the audience can no longer contain their excitement.

"God, God's playing in No. 8!" Barkley yelled.

You see, no accidents, right?

On the sidelines, coach Spoelstra yelled, "Team double-team after halftime!"

"It seems that Coach Sipo, who has always been calm, lost his composure today. But it's useless to lose his composure. Tonight, I have to follow the old man Lu Ming." Zhang Weiping casually came up with a homonym.

Anyway, as a veteran in the commentary world, no one would dare to deduct money from him even if he said something wrong.

Not to mention such a clever homonym.

On the field, the Heat's offense and the Knicks' defense also continued their enthusiasm at the end of the second quarter, especially after replacing the more energetic Larry Hughes and Wilson Chandler, the intensity went up even more.

Wade was also very good. After passing Lu Ming, the Knicks' inside players were stunned by the Mi Zongbu, and then he used a dunk to declare that he would not give up.

"Defense!" After scoring a goal, Wade immediately shouted at his teammates.

So after halftime, Lu Ming encountered two double-teams from the Heat.

"The double-team is coming again!" Barkley was already standing and explaining.

Not only him, but the entire audience was already ready to stand and watch the game.

Faced with the early double-teaming, Lu Ming did not panic. This is almost the norm when the single-core lead the Stanford basketball team. After looking at the position of his teammates, he raised his hand and passed the ball to Larry Hughes.

After Larry Hughes received the ball, he didn't stick to his hands and immediately passed it to Chandler.

Chandler also shot more than [-]% in this game, but this time he hit the iron with two points from a long distance, but the rebound was grabbed by David Lee.

This is already his 21st rebound in this game, and he grabbed 8 offensive rebounds alone!
Coach Spoelstra was about to collapse. The Heat's insiders, a former Haslem, and a current O'Neal, all lost face when their rebounds were robbed by a power forward.

After David Lee grabbed the rebound, he saw Lu Ming who was cutting inside and immediately passed it.

After Lu Ming pulled the ball, he took advantage of the situation and jumped up, facing Jermaine O'Neal's defense, and dunked the basketball indomitably.

"7 points! 7 points! 7 points!" The standing audience jumped up.

Spike Lee was happy like a child, jumping to new heights on the sidelines.

Taylor Swift was not to be outdone, she jumped up with long legs without popcorn, but she looked much better than Spike Lee's short legs.

"Fake! Three must be late!"

Under the basket, O'Neal, who was dunked for the first time in the game, angrily pushed Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was stretching out his hands at this time, calling out the screams of the audience, when he was grabbed from behind, staggered and almost fell.

"What do you want!" Milicic immediately pushed O'Neal away fiercely.

"Hmph!" Jermaine O'Neill knew he was wrong, glared at Milicic and walked away.

Then came boos and curses from the audience.

After Lu Ming stabilized, he looked back at O'Neal, and then shouted at Wade, "Dwyane, unless you knock me down with non-basketball moves, no one can stop me from scoring points!"

"Delusion!" Wade roared through gritted teeth.

But then, the referee called Jermaine O'Neal a technical foul, and Lu Ming executed a free throw. The point difference was reduced to 6 points!
At this time, there is still 1 minute and 58 seconds left before the end of the game!
116:121, the Knicks still lead by 5 points.

Although Lu Ming played explosively, Wade wasn't much weaker. He kept keeping the point difference from widening and had a chance to win.

"Idiot!" Wade glanced at O'Neal Jr., speechless.

At this time, you actually gave points to Lu Ming. Are you an undercover agent of Knicks?

In Wade's heart, he was not sure about stopping Lu Ming from scoring 62 points. However, he had already scored 41 points in this game, and he didn't want to lose this game.

If Lu Ming scored 62 points and the Knicks lost the game, then the Heat would still be able to walk away straight.

However, if he is scored 62 points again and loses the game again, the Heat will lose face at all.

So in the last 2 minutes of the game, Wade frantically attacked the Knicks' inside line like he was dying, scored, or fouled and scored, and the point difference was kept within the range of two balls.

Moreover, what made Wade see hope was that the goal of preventing Lu Ming from breaking Kobe's record had almost been achieved.

59 points, this is the score Lu Ming scored in the last 35 seconds.

In the previous attack, Lu Ming missed two shots. Fortunately, because the opponent's defensive action was too strong, he got four free throw opportunities and made three of them.

So far in the whole game, Lu Ming has made 37 crazy shots, 16 irons by himself, and hit 21 of them, including 9 of 4 three-pointers, and 17 of 13 free throws, scoring 59 points.

Yes, after the whole game, especially in the last two quarters, Lu Ming scored a career-high 17 free throws under the Heat's all-out fouls except for non-basketball actions.

It was also because the opponent's fouls were aimed at hurting Lu Ming and interrupting his touch, so the percentage of free throws was much lower than normal.

In New Orleans, Paul saw that Lu Ming made a second free throw after missing a free throw. He was relieved and took off his gloves at the same time.

"It doesn't matter who is hanging on the pillar of shame, as long as it's not me!" Paul looked at Wade with red eyes on the TV, with a slight smile on his face.

Kobe was extremely nervous, facing his teammates around him, he had to remain calm.

"Gase! There are 43 seconds left, 5 points behind, we have a lot of hope to win the game! Think about it, after the game is over, even though the opponent scored a high score, but lost the game, don't you want to see their disappointed faces?!" Coach Spoelstra shouted loudly during the timeout.

miss you!
Too much to think about!
"Also, in the last 43 seconds, No. 8 over there has been playing for 40 minutes. He must have no strength! It is entirely possible for us to win the game and prevent him from breaking the record!" Wade was also encouraging his teammates.

"Win the game! Stop everything!" Team Harley yelled.

"Win the game! Stop everything!" The Heat came alive at the end.

Lu Ming, who was on the Knicks bench and had a rest time, stood up and gathered his teammates together, "Brothers, I am very grateful for what you have done for me at this point in the game! In the next game, our goal is only one, to win the game!"

"..." Everyone was silent, looking at Lu Ming.

It's about to reach 62 points. Are you going to give up?
In this case, wouldn't our efforts throughout the entire game, especially in the second half, be in vain?
At this moment, their minds were full of hope that Lu Ming would break the record.

Winning or losing is no longer the primary consideration.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, breaking Kobe's scoring record is still within my plan."

That's it, that's okay.

Everyone was relieved, and Milicic said loudly, "Come on, let's win the game in the last 43 seconds!"

"Win the game!"

Both sides heard the slogan to win the game.

But only one team can win.

At the last moment, no one in the audience was sitting, anxiously and expectantly waiting for the 62 points to appear. Those fans who held the 62 points signs had already stood on their chairs and raised them even higher.

In the 29th second, the Knicks attacked, and Lu Ming didn't even get a chance to catch the ball. Larry Hughes barely shot at the buzzer, missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Haslem.

A very critical rebound.

In the 12th second, Wade chased the game to 2 points with a three-pointer against Lu Ming's long arm.

D'Antoni called the final timeout.

At this time, D'Antoni still believes that 12 seconds can be called a timeout and arrange a complete offensive round.

Probably, there is no subconscious trust in Lu Ming's strength and the strength of the players on the field.

"Oh my god, I really didn't expect that the game would go to this level! This year's Christmas game, the game between the Heat and the Knicks, I promise, will become a classic game!" Barkley said loudly.

"Yes, the absolute classic battle!" Kenny - Smith has no objection.

One scored 59 points and the other scored 44 points. The two stars shined and scored 103 points together. This is rare in the history of the NBA.

"In this game, there will be more fans, seeing the No. 8 rookie of the Knicks, seeing a superstar rising." In the box, David Stern already knew that the ratings of this game had reached a terrifying statistic, and he said with emotion.

Everyone froze for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with David Stern's statement.

No matter whether the Knicks win or lose in the end, no matter whether Lu Ming can break Kobe's 61-point record in the end, this game has already proved that this rookie deserves to win the votes.

"Lu, you handle the last goal!" During the timeout, D'Antoni didn't even draw a tactic, but just said this to Lu Ming.

In his opinion, handing the ball to the most confident person is the most perfect tactic.

As for the tactical board, what is that?
At this time, D'Antoni didn't know that he had fully comprehended all the mysteries of a champion coach.

Sitting in the chair, Lu Ming gasped for breath, nodded, and expressed his thoughts, "I need everyone's cover. For the last ball, if they don't foul, I'm going to shoot a three-pointer. If I miss, the basket, David, and Darko, I'll leave it to you two."

As for losing rebounds, the Heat will definitely call a timeout, and then arrange defense at that time.

"Don't worry, the rebound will be handed over to me!" Milicic said loudly, patting his chest.

David Lee also nodded, he is the best at rebounding, and in this game, he has already got 23 rebounds, refreshing the previous 21 rebounds.

It's just that the rebound was grabbed by Haslem just now, and David Lee was a little dissatisfied with his performance.

Next time, if Lu Ming misses, he vows to grab the rebound!

24 is always a little more powerful than 23!
At least in the current league, that is the case.

"Defend first! Don't foul! 12 seconds, defend one goal and we will win!" Coach Spoelstra shouted to the players on the Heat's bench.

Wade sat in the chair with a blank expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

game, then continue.

Lu Ming received the sideline ball from his teammate, held the ball at the top of the arc, and faced Wade's defense.

Larry Hughes stepped forward to cover, but he was narrow, and the quality of the screen was average, so Lu Ming called David Lee, who was inside, to come out.

At this time, 3 or 4 seconds have been consumed.

David Lee froze for a moment, but came out immediately.

As soon as he came out, Lu Ming immediately handed the basketball to Larry Hughes next to him, and made a secret hint.

When Wade saw Lu Ming handing over the basketball, he thought it was not good. This guy may have given up the record, and he was going to use up the last attack time.

Seeing that time was running out, Wade was about to give Larry Hughes a fierce foul. Even if he was sent to the free throw line, he couldn't let him run out of time.

In that case, the Heat will lose.

But at this moment, the tall David Lee had formed an effective cover, and Lu Ming suddenly moved sideways to the other side.

At the same time, Larry Hughes passed the ball.

"Prevent him!"

Wade was startled, shouted loudly while braking, and rushed over, but the presence of David Lee prevented him from walking in a straight line.

On the other side, Richardson, who had been on guard all along, had already jumped out.

After receiving the ball, Lu Ming's body was already flying in the air. Using a drifting posture, he avoided the double ghosts of Wade and Richardson, and threw the basketball out in a gap.

Then he was thrown to the ground by two defensive players.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, even though D'Antoni yelled from the sidelines, "They fouled! Fouled! Can't you see?"

Because at this time, it is up to the players to decide the trend of the game, and a qualified referee cannot jump out to grab the show.

What's more, the Knicks are still in the lead.

It can't be a whistle that blows away the last hope of the Heat.

Then--

boom!
Following Lu Ming's extreme three-pointer, the audience was completely excited, jumping and shouting, expressing their inner excitement.

The audience in front of the TV was boiling. In China, countless people who stayed up late to watch the game were boiling.

After Lu Ming fell to the ground, he kept looking at the basketball. Seeing that the basketball fell into the basket and it was impossible to get out, he turned over and shouted at the audience, "It's today! It's today!"

"It's today! It's today!" The audience followed Lu Ming and shouted.

Gritting his teeth, Wade looked at the changed score on the scoreboard and Lu Ming who was yelling on the field, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

"If he fouled earlier and let him make free throws, even if he lost the game, at most he would be able to tie Kobe's record. But now?" Wade thought to himself, looking at Coach Spoelstra on the sidelines.

Coach Spoel's eyes were already glazed over. He didn't expect that his final tactical arrangement would bring about this result.

How do you carry this pot?

"It took Lu Ming 7 seconds to attack this time, leaving only 5 seconds for the Heat. 5 points behind, the game is over. Congratulations to Lu Ming, scoring 60+ points for the first time in his career, breaking the 61-point record set by Kobe at Madison Square Garden!" Zhang Weiping was already a little choked up.

At this moment, he didn't know what else to say besides these dry numbers.

"62 points! This is a statistic that most players can't get throughout their careers! And Lu Ming, in his first year of his career, in the first half of his first year, surpassed Kobe in the much-anticipated Christmas game!" Sun Zhengping said excitedly.

Kobe looked helpless in front of the TV.

"Let's go, it's time for our game. Kobe, you have a chance to set a new scoring record at our home court." Mrs. Jia saw Kobe's reluctance and said with a smile.

Kobe's eyes lit up, "Yeah, why didn't I think of it! This is possible! It is absolutely possible!"

Well, it seems that in this game, Kobe won't let it go if he doesn't take thirty or forty shots.

Even if the opponent is the Cavaliers led by James.

Lao Yu's heart was at peace, anyway, he was a dribbler.

"Oh! Kenny, Kenny, I don't know, what else can I say. It's only my Blittleburg." Barkley shouted hoarsely.

"Yes. The game is over. The Heat have no chance. Congratulations to Lu, scoring 62 points, breaking Madison's home scoring record! Congratulations to him, the current record of winning against the Banana Boat Brothers. Especially Wade, facing the Knicks, has lost two games in a row. Now the Heat, there is still hope, go further in the playoffs?" Kenny Smith said more things.

In the box, Pat Riley calmly looked at the excited Knicks owner and general manager, thinking in his heart, the current Heat team, oh, next season's Heat team, where is the future?
Also in Los Angeles, in the Cavaliers locker room, after watching the entire game, seeing his brother Wade fighting alone, and hearing what Kenny Smith said, James was silent.

Where is my future?
The game was indeed over. Wade prevented Coach Spoelstra from calling a timeout, let his teammates serve, and then passed half court, consumed the last 5 seconds, and stopped playing.

As soon as the game was over, Spike Lee rushed up, jumped up and shouted at Lu Ming, "Lu, you did it! You did it!"

Then she was pushed away by Taylor Swift, and watched helplessly as the woman threw herself on Lu Ming and gnawed hard on Lu Ming's face.

"Falco!" Spike Lee cursed and walked away.

"Hey, Taylor, you can't do this." Lu Ming was taken aback, and quickly pushed Taylor Swift away.

"Haha! Boy, I don't like it, just thank you for bringing us New Yorkers a wonderful Christmas battle!" Taylor Swift laughed to hide the embarrassment of being pushed away.

It would be perfect if Lu Ming hugged her at this time.

"Well, thank you for your gratitude, although the form is a bit special." Lu Ming couldn't wipe off the saliva on his face face to face.

Then look behind Taylor Swift, arms outstretched.

Youya sprinted, bumped into Lu Ming's arms, and shouted excitedly, "Lu Ming, you are so good! 62 points, my God!"

Without any trace, he wiped off the lipstick on Lu Ming's face.

Feeling the impact of the big ball era, Lu Ming thought to himself, this era is more wonderful.

"Obviously I came first!" Taylor Swift pouted and left.

"Congratulations! Rookie, you did it!" Wade wanted to immediately walk out of the passage and hide in the locker room, but he had the generosity of 9 points and congratulated Lu Ming.

Then hand over the basketball used in the game to Lu Ming. The commemorative significance of this basketball is too great.

"Thank you, Dwyane. Also, welcome to my home court." Lu Ming took the basketball and handed it to You Ya, and said with a smile.

"Fa Keyou! Rookie, well, I'll call you a rookie for the last time! Lu, I wish you an unforgettable Christmas Eve." Wade cursed, then smiled wryly.

"It's only after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You should wish me an unforgettable Christmas afternoon." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he hugged the 1 meter Jordan vigorously.

Wade cursed again, then left.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, held Youya's hand and continued to accept the enthusiasm from the audience.

and envy.
