NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 234 Countdown stage, to end the game

The day after he won the MVP, Xue Liancheng showed some understanding and invited the whole team to a dinner, which can also be called a party.

in the country, it is called humaneness and sophistication.

In the country of rice grains, happiness is shared.

In fact, the difference is not big. The essence is to spend money to bleed. Mi Liguo just puts it nicely.

And the outside world is still discussing him fiercely.

Xue Liancheng has already traveled to Chicago with the team, preparing to start the third game with the Bulls.

This game is very critical for both sides and will determine the trend of the entire series.

For the Heat.

Winning is equivalent to stepping into the Eastern Conference finals with one foot. If nothing else happens, you can basically declare advancement in advance.

Because no team in history has ever been able to complete a comeback when trailing 0:3.

The pause ends.

The referee has already thrown the ball over.

Gibson, who came off the bench, quickly made up for it.

Sometimes he catches the ball and wants to attack one by himself, but finds that before he can make a move, a double attack comes.

And if the final score is 4:2, even if they advance, that is not good news.

of course.

Using the way of receiving the ball, using the dynamic diagram in his mind, and supplemented by the ability to predict, he sent 4 assists in a single quarter, which can be regarded as reconnecting the team's offense.

11分5助攻5篮板1抢断1盖帽。

However, this is simply unacceptable to Xue Liancheng, who has maintained a 50% hit rate for a long time.

Uh……

but.

after all……

Xue Liancheng stabilized his mentality. For the ball that did not have much space, he adhered to the concept of not taking a shot if he could, and tried his best to divert the ball and return to the essence of a point guard.

Both the impact power and explosive power have dropped seriously, and it is even more outrageous to hit someone.

At halftime, he shot 11 of 3 from the field, which was miserable enough.

Xue Liancheng scored a goal and scored 2 points.

Wade himself.

When Xue Liancheng slipped over from the bottom corner, he found that Butler did not follow...

46:49

For the first time since entering the playoffs, the Heat trailed at halftime.

Xue Liancheng paused for a moment, raised his head and frowned: "It should be...no problem."

Only fighting for rebounds and eating raw in the low post is the real way to go.

Since the start of the playoffs, this is the first time he has experienced such a miserable game.

finally.

Everyone in the Heat was a little confused.

Rose really couldn't jump.

The Heat attack.

Therefore, he only sent out a pitiful assist in a single quarter.

Look back.

The pivot foot changes, beep!

On the second iron, as Butler's defense gradually became outrageous, he thought of using the mid-range to finish.

That ball was after he cut in without the ball, connected with the ball and threw it to Ibaka.

Xue Liancheng stood outside the boundary and glanced.

In the entire first ten minutes of the fourth quarter, we really relied solely on the individual abilities of the players. Cooperation, screens, pick-and-rolls, and breakthrough points were all bullshit.

This is great news for other teams aspiring to compete for the championship.

only……

really.

Winning or losing this game is extremely important, especially for the Bulls. They have no retreat and must be determined to fight to the death.

The rest of the people are all forging irons, beating bang bang...

Spoelstra: "I mean how does your shot feel..."

result.

After reappearing in the second quarter, he directly switched to playing without the ball.

And if you lose, it is equivalent to giving up half of the initiative. In the case of 2:1, it is difficult to judge the final result, and accidents may happen at any time.

There are reasons for the referee's deflection of the whistle, and there are reasons for Butler's fierce defense, but the biggest reason is himself. The hand feeling is really bad.

This is what happened when he took four shots in one quarter.

Otherwise, the initiative is still in his hands.

and so.

In other words, there is no chance to push.

Without him...

All the good things in this world are for you.

But what can they do?

I can only bite the bullet and endure it.

The ball that was thrown out didn't even know where it was deflected.

Ibaka turned his head knowingly.

So far in the entire fourth quarter, the Heat have only scored 13 points.

The only person Si Bo can rely on is Xue Liancheng.

Fortunately, the referee reacted quickly enough and stopped the incident quickly, giving each of them a T, and the incident was settled.

After successfully catching the ball, facing Rose, who was shorter than his entire neck, he hardly hesitated, raised the ball high, and threw it directly on the spot.

Because there is no flaw at all.

Unless we open up the score now and open it to 7 points or more, then there is absolutely a chance.

and so……

When Butler jumped to defend, he kicked his foot, but the referee had no reaction...

Spoelstra also tried to activate the panacea.

in this way.

What could be wrong?

He still has two 100% skills that are useless.

As soon as the game started, Butler started a crazy biting mode, making various small hand movements in an endless stream, and the referee did not whistle. This made Butler intensify his efforts, taking more and more frequent strikes, and the intensity of the collisions became stronger and stronger. Actions become blatant.

Bulls offense.

But on the contrary, if he makes these infringements or pushes Butler, it will be a foul.

The sounds of muscles clashing, hammering, shouts, and calls for Wang Defa could be heard in almost every corner of the arena.

In fact, at this point in the playoffs, other top stars often have such outrageous shooting percentages during halftime, such as James, Irving, Curry, and Harden.

In other words.

The most important thing is that it gives them a strong sense of psychological oppression and gives them a feeling of invincibility, which will undoubtedly cast a huge shadow on their road to the championship.

He was finally liberated.

At this critical moment, Ross was given a chance to get to the free throw line.

Originally, according to the original plan, he was going to send it to Wade.

Now that they are playing back and forth with the Bulls, this shows that this Heat is not invincible.

Beep!

But then the referee's whistle sounded.

The iron is struck.

PJ-Tucker grabbed a rebound and made a tip-up and scored 2 points.

After all, with such defensive intensity, there is indeed a suspicion of foul play, and they can't appeal even if they want to.

Ok……

Xue Liancheng finally experienced the true taste of the playoffs.

In the first iron, he pushed Butler in and originally planned to use his footsteps to shake Butler away.

Throughout the whole quarter, they were defensive like this, and neither side would brag.

Ibaka and Noah even had a conflict during this period, which almost led to a large-scale bloody fight.

Mainly focusing on receiving, transitioning, running, covering, and cutting.

Wade holds the ball at the top of the arc, Ibaka and Gasol serve as goalkeepers, and P.J. Tucker leads from the baseline.

Overall, it's relatively feasible.

In addition, the Bulls attacked him more resolutely and fiercely, and their defense and assistance were faster and more active.

The Bulls didn't call a timeout.

If you win, you will be halfway down the mountain, and there is still a lot of hope for you to successfully go down the mountain.

Such an obvious pushing and pushing action is in the nature of a fight.

I can charge up, but I really can't score!

The Bulls' defense is very smart. They no longer insist on blocking any holes, but choose to release three-pointers to block the penalty area.

The scene was instantly turned off.

Batum made a sneak attack with an air cut and scored 2 points.

Butler kept making small moves, his physical confrontation was constantly escalating, and he made fierce moves from time to time, especially when he broke through. Butler pushed his body forward while pushing people, which caused his breakthrough power to drop significantly, and his passing route was also blocked. The Bulls quickly supplemented the defense and assisted the defense to block it.

Especially Gasol, who made 5 of 4 in a single quarter and actually scored 11 points, including a three-pointer. He finally looked like a giant and stood up when he and Wade were sinking.

Isn't this good news?

Section 3.

Xue Liancheng kept running and running, and Butler kept chasing and chasing, always following behind, with very few opportunities for physical contact.

MVP ah!

If you don’t step up and score, who will?

Spoelstra: "Then use the human wall tactic, feel free to shoot."

In this section of the game, he took a total of 7 shots and only hit 2 goals, and he made 4 of 1 three-pointers.

and……

of course.

Or lost track.

resignedly.

Or to be more precise, anything can happen.

Spoelstra doesn't know these things. Looking at the whole game, Xue Liancheng made 5 of 1 three-pointers, which can only be said to be not good.

of course.

Si Bo's voice sounded: "Xue, how do you feel?"

The Heat were able to maintain the situation and the score did not open up.

If you don't look at the hit rate, just statistics like this, his data is actually not too bad.

With Wade being injured and absent, there is still a slight possibility.

——Death Five.

It’s so eye-catching...

而薛连城的数据，则停留在了16投5中，15分8助攻9篮板上。

in this way……

Made two free throws steadily.

Ok……

Fortunately, the referee only targeted him, and it was not outrageous enough for the entire Heat team to enjoy this double-standard treatment.

For a moment, when he felt that the shot might miss, he wanted to activate one of the 100% hit skills to ensure a guaranteed hit rate.

But he still feels bad.

He had two 100% hit skills, and he was just waiting for time to run out before giving the bull a fatal blow.

Xue Liancheng hesitated for only seconds before shouting to the inside line, "Catch the ball..."

generally.

Both sides were stuck under the basket, constantly teasing each other.

Instead, Ibaka and P.J. Tucker blocked the ball during the pick-and-roll, forcing the Bulls to switch defenses. Ibaka is currently mismatched against Rose.

Maybe the Bulls didn't deeply feel the intimidation of this tactic, so they wouldn't defend so hard.

There are 2 minutes and 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

The elevator door tactic leads to bankruptcy on the spot.

He took a step forward with the ball and suddenly threw it to P.J. Tucker who was waiting in the corner.

of course.

Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it's pretty good.

Entering the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, the two sides began a real physical fight.

If he really stood there stupidly and waited for death without making changes, then he would really have become Ang Jiujiu, and then the regular season MVP he just won would really be a parallel import.

Because Gasol is absolutely vacant.

Bulls want to win?

Excluding Gasol's 6 points, the rest of the Heat scored 7 points.

Rose pushed the ball over, and before Gibson came up with the pick-and-roll, he suddenly started to attack.

Throughout the first quarter, he took 4 shots and only hit 1 ball.

and so.

84:85

The point difference was pulled to 1 point.

In this way, they have to go head-to-head with the Cleveland Cavaliers without sufficient rest time.

In the case of physical imbalance, you can still make shots. This kind of historical-level offensive ability that ignores defense cannot be defended unless you don't feel good, or you even bring the ball down with the ball.

In the end, I don’t know who dialed it out. Xue Liancheng picked up a rebound in vain.

And his offense obviously didn't reach this level, and it was only natural that he was held down.

The game starts again.

But this kind of accident is very rare.

But now this situation.

Gasol also protects rebounds very simply.

There is still 1 minute and 17 seconds left.

Gasol, on the other hand, may have been accustomed to this kind of hand-to-hand combat during his time with the Grizzlies, but he took it like a duck to water and scored another 6 points.

In this game, they had tried the elevator door tactic, but because his touch was really not that good, they didn't make the shot...

If the Heat are still crushing the Bulls like crazy, then they should cry.

The most important thing is that Xue Liancheng knows that in this series between the Cavaliers and the Hawks, the Cavaliers have an absolute advantage. It is very likely that the Cavaliers will complete a 4-0 sweep of the Hawks as in the historical trajectory.

It’s just that the plan can’t keep up with the changes.

Very sour and refreshing...

The remaining three shots were all made with the ball in hand.

Fortunately, the referee may have felt sorry for him as the new MVP, and gave him 4 free throws, which made him look less miserable.

Although it was true that he was being held down, he had to find a way to resist.

Three out of three.

Forced to the basket and made a small throw.

The latter voted directly without any hesitation.

If you lose, you will be in the abyss, waiting to die.

The latter raised the knife with three hands.

Rose goes to the free throw line.

But Ibaka missed the layup, but he picked up a rebound and made a sneaky tip-in.

In the words of countless enthusiastic netizens: How can we fight when we have already killed people?

This kind of intense intrusion is really not something ordinary people can bear.

Xue Liancheng wiped his sweat vigorously again and nodded slightly, "I can still do it."

Although Wade was also violated, even more than Rose was violated in the round just now, the referee didn't call it. What can he do?

I can only fight for the board, what else can I do?

but.

This made Xue Liancheng very uncomfortable.

The Bulls weren't much better, scoring only 14 points.

This time the referee didn't have to call it.

It is truly the moment of life and death.

Think so.

By the end of the third and fourth quarters, he had only taken 5 shots and only hit 2 goals. His shooting percentage had improved, but that was based on not taking any shots if he could.

And if you add the hit rate, it's even worse.

They still plan to implement the elevator door tactic.

Pushed directly across the ball, Butler passed the ball, and then passed it to Gasol outside the three-point line.

Do not……

In fact, overall, his performance is not good.

On the third iron, you can’t blame the air for this, it’s your own problem. I tried to shoot from outside the three-point line, but the sound of the iron was extremely loud.

But considering that the team only scored 82 points, he still contributed 15 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds, which is still very good.

Ok……

result.

To Xue Liancheng, it sounded somewhat disapproving.

In this quarter, he was guarded by Butler.

This is not my problem, who else could it be?

in the case of.

Can shouting louder win the game?

These are all disadvantages.

Xue Liancheng nodded: "Understood."

This has been rare throughout his season, especially after he was established as the core.

After grabbing a rebound, it will be given to Wade.

then.

Although he had expected that the referee would have some sympathy whistles, he never expected that the referee would be so indulgent to Butler. This home court advantage was too obvious, right?

As the new MVP, he didn't get any preferential treatment.

The most egregious thing is that in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, if it is not an obvious foul, the referee will not call it at all, and no one will take a free throw.

On the bench.

result.

And think from the bull’s perspective.

Even if you stop occasionally, it's impossible for Butler to violate a player without the ball, right?

It's very miserable.

With just over two minutes left on the clock, they saw the hope of victory and naturally shouted extra hard.

After moving without the ball in the second quarter, half of his shots were in the semi-open position, or even absolutely open, but he just didn't score.

The line is crossed.

But this has reflected a signal that the Heat did not form a real crushing force against the Bulls.

However, in the fourth quarter, he had fewer chances to take action, and the Bulls attacked and violated him more ferociously.

The main reason is that the condition of teammates has recovered somewhat.

but……

The Bulls want to accomplish this feat unless Xue Liancheng is injured.

Without the ball, Butler obviously didn't dare to push so boldly.

11 out of 3!

It’s unimaginable…

But thinking that the 100% hit skills taken apart were not as threatening as the combination, he suppressed this thought.

The heat also shrank very much, and Rose was suddenly sandwiched in the middle like a biscuit.

As for the passing game, it wasn't much better.

Although not far behind, only 3 points.

The score between the two sides: 82:85, the Heat are still 3 points behind.

Not to mention Lowry, DeRozan, Wall, Butler, Rose and others, they have such outrageous efficiency from time to time, and for a whole game.

Due to his poor performance, the team has also been greatly affected.

The referee's scale was too large, the confrontation was too fierce, and all members of the Heat felt very bad, and the three-pointers were not working...

There is still plenty of time now, not the time to use your trump card.

Except for top stars who have absolute scoring methods, such as Danzi.

Rose's shot was already sure to miss, and Ibaka was in good position to grab the rebound, but you blew the whistle, which was too much.

His efficiency began to plummet.

86:87

Still a 1 point difference.

but.

nor……

Wade made two free throws and scored 1 point.

In other words, the Heat's strength finally reached its peak and showed signs of fatigue.

Also hit.

Then he can lie down on the spot, and the referee can't ignore it.
