Chapter 423 There is only one answer, give the ball to James!
By the way, I don’t know if the commentator’s words sound good or not, but he is indeed a talented person and his eyesight is not blind.
The second half of the game started, and the situation on the court was still an anxious battle back and forth.
The Mavericks rely on Nowitzki and Su Bei to score points, while the Heat rely on James and Wade to advance.
It wasn't until the 6th minute of the third quarter that the Mavericks' defensive tactics of surrounding three blocks finally broke down.
"James hit Marion with a crab step when the Mavericks' pocket defense closed.
James released the ball, and Mike Bibby was empty outside the three-point line. He caught the ball, jumped up, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."
Kidd couldn't care about James, but didn't care about James' own system. He could only try his best to save Mike Bibby's shot, and then said: I bet your three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
You guessed it wrong, Mike Beebe's three-point pistol really has bullets in it.
Able to shoot 45% of the three-pointers, even if it is unstable, occasionally finding the target will cause headaches.
The biggest headache is not just the Heat's outside three-point shooting. After all, the Mavericks' defensive tactics do not regard this offensive option as a viable option.
The real headache is Bosh, who also has a mid-range shot.
"It was James' breakthrough pass. Bosh caught the ball, raised his hand and made a two-point jumper..."
Swish——!
From hand to hand, Bosh's mid-range shot was not soft. He found his shooting touch and his offensive combat effectiveness was also so strong.
Hong Kong True, the Mavericks do not panic when their opponents occasionally hit one or two long-range hits, because no matter how many points they score, they will not score as many as the Mavericks. This is still a point of confidence.
It's just a pity that the subject of playing state is too deep and no one can grasp it.
"It's Bosh again. After receiving a pass from James, he was completely empty. He lifted the ball and made a two-point jump shot... No, he collected the ball, missed Nowitzki, and rushed in with the ball. There was only one thing left in front of him.
basket.
Chandler could only use a foul to send Bosh to the free throw line..."
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and Bosh's sure-fire dunk was ruined, but he still had two free throw opportunities.
Two swish sounds, no mercy, two free throws for the points question.
"Yes, Bosh did play an off-ball role with the Heat.
But this does not mean that Bosh cannot attack with the ball..."
With James' breakthrough attracting the defense and the threat of a mid-range shot, he holds the ball and breaks through, making it really hard to guard against.
The so-called tactic of letting Wei defend Zhan and playing waves can be said to have had no effect.
Bosh is indeed a cheat sometimes, but who hasn't eaten dumplings? Once there is a basket, the Heat's Big Three are all active and play a winning formula. What can you do to top it?
In particular, that guy Mike Bibby also joined in the fun, and then shot three-pointers, and then hit them.
Bosh and Mike Bibby teamed up and scored 10 consecutive points. At this moment, the Mavericks were making mistakes.
Nowitzki and Kidd made consecutive mistakes and lost the ball, although Marion stood up quietly and scored 4 points.
The Mavericks are still 8 points behind in terms of score.
During this period, Marion's performance on both offense and defense was quite amazing, and he was in excellent condition.
In such a backward and confused time, Marion was so brave that he naturally threw the damn basketball to him.
However, after all, Marion is still far from the level of a superstar.
Next, the Mavericks gave him the heavy responsibility of attacking and chasing points, but as a result, he continued to hit the ground running.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
It was revealed that the Mavericks trusted the wrong player.
This is the shortcoming of a team-based team. Anyone can become the protagonist. Whoever is in good condition will have the ball in his hands.
This choice is scientific and reasonable.
Who hasn't had a hard time for a few minutes?
If he gets hard, let him fuck him. Is this reasonable?
Someone like Kobe, who is obviously not in good condition and still has to force himself, is extremely unlucky.
It's just a pity that playing basketball is not counting.
Status is a mystery!
No one can guarantee that if the front is fine, the next moment, the back will be gone.
"It's your choice, idol!
Leaving Dirk Nowitzki and Su Bei unchecked, he actually bet on Marion's good condition.
The Mavericks' offense suddenly ran out of water..."
On the other hand, on the Heat's side, even though Mike Bibby scored two three-pointers in succession and felt very weak, and Bosh was in unstoppable condition, he still chose to hand the basketball over to Wade.
When it is important, the boss should stand up and win the game.
"Wade broke through with the ball, causing a foul on Subei's thugs, and got two free throw opportunities..."
"Sure enough, in the superstar battle, the Mavericks' cards are really not good enough.
When he needed to score points steadily, Wade came up with an unsolvable breakthrough layup to kill his opponent..."
Bang-dang——!
Swish——!
The Mavericks escaped, but the point difference continued to expand, reaching 9 points.
In the next round, it was Wade's breakthrough that caused Chandler's hitter to foul, and he continued to go to the free throw line for points.
Finally, Wade gave the opportunity and made one of two free throws, so the Mavericks did not fall into such despair.
At this time, in the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, the Heat took a 10-point lead with a score of 74 to 64.
"The Heat went on a 12-4 run, and the game turned against the Heat.
The Mavericks need to recover points on offense. If they are still behind by double digits in the fourth quarter, it will be difficult to catch up.
How do the Mavericks play?
Sure enough, Kidd finally turned over Nowitzki's card.
The others spread out their formation. Nowitzki held the ball and challenged Bosh. He feinted a shot. Instead of betting on a three-pointer from the outside, he broke through with the ball. He turned his back, shook his shoulders, turned around, and raised his hand to score an independent two-pointer.
A fadeaway jump shot..."
Bosh's defense is not bad, but when faced with Nowitzki's trick, all he can do is listen to the gunfire.
Swish——!
With his hand raised and the knife falling, Nowitzki scored two points.
"pretty!!
The crucial two-point hit stopped the bleeding in time.
Nowitzki is very tough. It should be said that Nowitzki's previous style of play was indeed very unpleasant. At critical moments, he was a softie and nothing.
However, in the 2011 playoffs, Nowitzki had a different style, and he probably broke through himself..."
74 to 66!!
The score difference became 8 points.
Outside the court, the fans and spectators became excited. Before the game was over, Nowitzki stood up like a hero and scored points.
"The Heat attacked the ball, and Mike Bibby brought the ball to the frontcourt, trying to pass the ball to Wade.
There was no good opportunity, so Su Bei moved close to the ball and did not dare to pass the ball to Wade.
Turn around and want to pass to James?
Hey, what's the big deal? The movements were predicted. Kidd is so awesome, he actually dared to reach out to steal the ball in advance. If Mike Bibby plays the role and breaks through with the ball, the Mavericks' defense will be in danger..."
It's just a pity that there are no ifs. The Heat's offense is too monotonous and stereotyped. It's either Wade or James. There are two options. When Wade is eliminated as the top choice, Mike Bibby joins the Heat and has the attributes of a tool man.
There is only one answer, give the ball to James.
"It was a mistake, Mike Bibby passed the ball too obviously, and Kidd intercepted the ball.
Kidd did not impulsively push for a counterattack, but played steadily, dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, and continued to favor Nowitzki alone.
After continuing to feint, he broke through with the ball, made an emergency stop in the corner, pulled up the ball, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Bosh didn't expect Nowitzki to have such a simple attack method, and his shot was half a beat too slow.
"Bang Dang——!
No, Nowitzki's mid-range strike is off.
In the battle for rebounds and Nowitzki's good luck, the basketball bounced back. After getting the ball back, Nowitzki turned around and handed the basketball to Su Bei, who was cutting through the air to attack the basket. He caught the ball and headed toward the basket.
Li Da..."
Snapped--!
Beep——!
The Heat were banned from flying in the penalty area, and James would rather foul than give Su Bei the chance to dunk.
The referee was not blind and decisively gave Su Bei two free throw opportunities.
Standing on the free throw line, it was also a question of giving away points. Su Bei was much better than Wade just now.
Wade seemed to be affected by physical fitness or injury, and even missed 2 of 4 free throws.
Su Bei didn't show any mercy, and sent the basketball into the basket with two swish sounds.
74 to 68!!
The score difference became 6 points.
"The Mavericks can't easily let the Heat take away the game.
The scenario of letting 2 chase 4 at home is something I don’t dare to try.
If this game is lost, here are the Heat's three home games.
If the Mavericks want to get back, they have to create a miracle.
Instead of betting on a miracle, it’s better to work hard now..."
Off the court, Coach Si also knew that the Mavericks would counterattack, and there was probably another tough battle to be fought in the fourth quarter.
He made a very reasonable substitution adjustment, replacing Wade with Mike Miller.
Wade was in poor condition and struggled to make free throws. He might as well take a rest and fight in the fourth quarter.
There is nothing wrong with Hong Kong's selection of Coach Si. After all, there is a super giant on the court. He can play less than 3 minutes, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
However, he soon regretted replacing Wade.
"Mike Bibby passed halftime and chose to pass the ball to James.
Outside the three-point line, there are three offensive threats. Marion defends against breakthroughs but not shots.
If he wasn't used to it, James would just hit a pull-up three-point jumper..."
There is nothing wrong with Hong Kong and James' choice. If he hits a three-pointer, he is likely to take the game away.
This is a very heartbreaking three-point shot attempt.
James' idea was a good one. He used a three-pointer to quell the Mavericks' point-chasing momentum. Anyway, he was leading by 6 points and it seemed that he could let it go.
It's just a pity that you will die if you try.
Bang-dang——!
"James' three-pointer is sent.
This ball is still not stable enough. The number of fouls on the Mavericks team has already reached. It is the most reasonable choice to take the ball to the basket. If you touch it, you will be injured, if you touch it, you will die. Rushing to the basket and scoring two points..."
Wade just gave a pretty good demonstration. However, James did not choose to copy the homework. Instead, he wanted to eat up the Mavericks in one go, but underestimated his shortcomings in three-point ability.
"James gave the opportunity, the basketball was kept by the Mavericks, let's see what Kidd chooses.
Hey, what kind of stupid thing is this? There was no flop, and Kidd actually followed the same example, rising up from the ball, raising his hand and shooting a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Kidd's choice is very bold, but if he hits the ball and plays a good game, the situation of the game is likely to turn back to the Mavericks in an instant.
】
However, if you don't attack the basics, you won't attack the basics. No matter how much you practice three-pointers, if you don't have that talent and you are strong at critical moments, the result will only be unsatisfactory.
Bang-dang——!
Kidd also sent in a three-pointer.
The opportunity to chase points was ruined again.
"I didn't expect that Kidd would be so wild and have such a steady style of play, but he would actually follow the path of James.
As a result, there was no way to go. Two novices in shooting actually used three-pointers to decide the decisive battle, which is also an interesting thing..."
"Next, the Heat attack and see what James chooses.
After the trial and error just now, James chose to break through with the ball. Marion fought and retreated, withstanding James' crushing attack, and Kidd helped defend.
What?
Kidd was so impressed that he cut the basketball from James' hand without any hesitation.
Just like Mike Bibby's interception, it was a key interception.
What a show. The 38-year-old Kidd showed what it means to be a true defensive master, making up for the rapid three-point selection just now..."
"What the hell, Kidd wants to be the savior!
Dribbling the ball through half court, he actually beat Mike Bibby, rushed to the free throw line, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Mike Bibby's defense is top notch. To be honest, no matter how Kidd plays, it's reasonable.
However, both Nowitzki and Su Bei performed well offensively just now.
Instead of letting the team's top two-point scorer pass the ball, he chose to believe in his own offensive ability.
It can only be said that Kidd also wants to make his presence felt in the last chance of his career to compete for the championship, so that everyone can know that if the Mavericks win the finals, he will not be a soy sauce, but will play a leading role.
Drama.
Why is this, you ask?
Is it worth the risk?
Even James did it.
Once upon a time, Kobe did the same thing.
In Subei's previous life, a few years later, the immortal Owen also did it...
Players who can become superstars all have the ambition to do something better than themselves. They naturally don’t want to assist anyone, so why can’t they do it on their own?
Bang-dang——!
"Kidd's performance in these two rounds was a bit inexplicable.
A great opportunity to chase points was wasted.
At your age, what’s the point of still wondering whether it’s true that you’re basic?
Who doesn’t know that your offense is terrible?
You don’t have to prove anything on the finals stage?
Huh--!
Luck was still on the side of the Mavericks. Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound under the basket, then took off twice, dunked with both hands, and scored the basketball for a last-minute shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Chandler's entire body hangs from the southeast corner.
The talent of 2.16 meters tall is a pillar of strength in front of the Heat's small lineup. The advantage is too obvious.
74 to 70!!
The Mavericks chased for 6 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to 4 points.
At this time, there is still 1 minute left before the end of the third quarter.
I originally thought that in this minute, the two sides would stall for time and engage in a defensive battle. Unexpectedly, they would be bombarded instead.
Mike Bibby and James helped the Heat score 4 points in a row.
Nowitzki and Su Bei were not lenient and responded by scoring 4 points in a row.
At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 78 to 74, with the Mavericks trailing by 4 points and entering the final quarter.
