full court guidance

Chapter 109
Satisfied, Pat Riley glanced at the Rockets' bench with some disdain.

After the short timeout, the Rockets did not make personnel adjustments, which shows that Van Gundy's level is far from enough!
With 4.8 seconds left in the game, the score is the same, and the Heat still have the initiative to catch up. Even if they can't score this time, they can at least drag the game into overtime, and the Heat have a high probability of winning.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a look at Late who was playing. The crazy scoring performance just now really scared him. In less than 1 minute, he evened out the 16-point difference. Definitely a player that has never appeared in the league, he is like an alien who landed on the earth and ruled the entire league.

But it's a pity that after playing for more than a year, he still hasn't developed the ability to hold the ball. This is not only because the players are not strict enough for themselves, but Van Gundy's connivance is also the reason for this result.

Riley is really jealous to the extreme. He believes that if the lateness is under his command, as long as he completes his devil training, he will definitely become a stronger player than Wade.

Of course, all of this is just thinking about it. Riley has already begun to think about how to dig late from the Rockets.

With the whistle of the referee, the final game between the two sides continued.

The Heat serve from the center line. According to the original tactical arrangement, Riley's first offensive choice for this ball is Walker!
Wade performed well today and provided the team with strong firepower. His breakthrough made the Rockets have to shrink the defense, which led to Walker and Posey getting many good opportunities.

Riley believes that with Van Gundy's level of defensive training, he will definitely guard against Wade's breakthrough. At that time, Walker is likely to get a chance from the outside, whether it is a two-pointer or a three-pointer. s failure.

The Rockets did not adopt a pressing tactic, but defended a conventional station.

Walker easily sent the ball to Wade, and was about to move according to the tactics when the referee blew his whistle!
Late actually rushed up suddenly and hugged Wade!

Foul tactics?

Everyone at the American Airlines Center was stunned, the Rockets' choice was unexpected.

Now is not the time for them to fall behind by a small score, and there is not enough time left in the game. They directly use foul tactics to send Wade to the free throw line. Is this trying to give the Heat a victory?

Barkley expressed great puzzlement about this: "It seems that the late foul was intentional, and the other Rockets players had already prepared for it. This should be Van Gundy's tactical arrangement, but this is obviously unreasonable. With only 3.6 seconds left, Wade only needs to make a free throw, and the Rockets will lose the game. This option is debatable."

After a long coaching career, Pat Riley almost instinctively called the team's last timeout. When waiting for the players to return to the sideline, he casually asked the assistant coach beside him: "Is there still a timeout on the Rockets side?"

The assistant coach looked at the stats and replied, "There's one more timeout, and we've run out of timeouts."

Riley sneered, Van Gundy was playing with fire.

He took out the tactical board, greeted the players to his side, and said loudly: "Listen everyone, the Rockets want to bet on the last offense, Wade, you need to pay attention, you must grasp the two free throws, so that we will grasp the maximum advantage, they have little time left. I think the Rockets should make substitutions in order to ensure the defensive rebound. After grabbing the rebound, they will immediately call a timeout, and then serve in the middle circle. Wade, you must Keep up with Tate, don't let him get a chance to shoot, other players should also pay attention to cutting off the Rockets' passing route, and isolate Tate, his three-pointer will definitely become the last resort of the Rockets!"

After all, he put away the tactical board: "Boys, don't worry, we have completely grasped the initiative, victory is within easy reach, don't be disturbed by the Rockets' tricks, keep calm, hold the last 3.6 seconds is our victory!"

The short timeout ended, and the Heat players quickly returned to the game.

Sure enough, as Riley said, in order to ensure rebounds, the Rockets made substitutions and adjustments. Yao Ming, Mutombo, Hayes and McGrady all have good rebounding abilities.

The coach is amazing!
The Heat players admired Pat Riley's sophistication in their hearts, and felt that the game was stable.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Wade made the first free throw with ease.

There was a slight accident in the second free throw. Hayes may have been a little too nervous and moved ahead of time.

Re-penalized again, Wade adjusted a little, the sound of the basketball hitting the net was clear and sweet.

The American Airlines Center arena immediately burst into cheers, and the Heat players also breathed a sigh of relief. They only waited for the Rockets to call a timeout. Wade even looked up at the timer - 3.6 seconds!
However, the Rockets did not call a timeout. Late rushed to the bottom line and quickly served the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming received the ball and pushed it back to Late, and turned around to block all possible interference.

I was late and shot directly at the bottom line of my side!

"Damn!"

Patricia flicked his arm vigorously, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten the most important thing—the late shooting range!

In the All-Star Game, Late has shown the world his amazing range, but in official games, he rarely makes this kind of action in his own half, so that Riley forgets this .

Wade reacted quickly and rushed over immediately, trying to interfere.

He believes that even if he is late, even if the range reaches the whole court, as long as he can make a slight interference, it will greatly limit the late hit rate.

But the Rockets had obviously thought of this long ago. Hayes and Yao Ming directly blocked the distance of two steps in front of the late.

The entire American Airlines Center arena was silent, and even the commentary booth was completely silent. Everyone opened their mouths and watched the basketball in the air.

The basketball floats in the air for an entire episode - of course it's impossible.

Because of the pass and cut cooperation with Yao Ming before, when the basketball was still flying in the air, the timer had already turned into a red light.

This piercing flute sound seemed to wake up all the people in the American Airlines Center Arena, and the stadium suddenly fell into a commotion. Heat fans tried to use their own sound waves to block the late ultra-long shots.

"Shh!"

The sound of the basketball going into the net was so crisp, like the death knell of destruction, ringing over the American Airlines Center arena.

Charles Barkley fell into madness again: "Unbelievable, really incredible performance, late staged the most amazing scoring performance in the finals, in the last minute, he led the Rockets to hit all six shots and scored 1 points! Leading the Rockets to a 19:113 victory over the Heat! The Heat's performance today was perfect, but the late intercontinental missile destroyed them. He ended the game with a crazy bottom line three-pointer in his own half and a shot across the court ! Incredible players, incredible game, this game will go down in the annals of history and become the topic that people talk about the most. If you have to find an imperfect place for this game, I don’t think it happened in the total The final tie-break, right?"

Kenny Smith also said: "That's right, in the first three quarters today, under Wade's marking late, he hardly got a good shot. He took a total of 7 shots in the first three quarters and only hit 3 goals. 9 points! But late never late! When the Rockets needed him most, he stood up, and in the last minute he turned into God and dominated the court."

"I think this is a god's moment. Being late is the god on the basketball court. He can do anything, as long as he wants, no matter how big the difference is, it doesn't make sense to him."

When Barkley and Smith were almost incoherent with excitement, the Rockets players had already raised their lateness, as excited as if they had won the championship.

With the last 4.8 seconds left in the game, the Heat requested a timeout. Late took advantage of this timeout to ask his teammates if they would like to take a bet. Everyone chose to believe him, and he lived up to everyone's expectations.When the team needed him most, he brought victory to the team with a deadly three-pointer.

The Heat players have been completely fooled. They never thought that they would be killed by such an epic goal.

At the post-match press conference, the Heat players were still a little out of their minds, obviously not recovering from the late lore.

Pat Riley simply put the responsibility on himself: "I made the wrong choice during the last timeout. I forgot that Late is the most terrible marksman on the planet. His range covers all areas. field, but I thought the Rockets would call a timeout to ensure the hit rate. It was my responsibility to lose the low-hanging victory. But I must also congratulate the Rockets. They have a great shooter like Late and brought them An epic victory, he destroyed us with an ICBM, but I have found a way to deal with being late, and I believe that the next game, we have a good chance of winning."

No matter how unwilling Pat Riley was, Late was a god with his miraculous performance in the last minute of the first game of the finals!
The media fell into a carnival. Miller once staged a Miller moment of 35 seconds and 13 minutes. McGrady also had a miracle of 1 seconds and 19 minutes against the Spurs this season, but in front of the late [-] minute and [-] minutes, it seemed So powerless.

This is not only a manifestation of scoring explosiveness, but also a performance of scoring stability. Late once again told the world with facts that he is the most accurate shooting player on the planet.

Media reporters rushed into the Rockets locker room like crazy, trying to get first-hand information. It can be predicted that the "miracle moment" will definitely be on the front pages of major media in the United States.
