McGrady rushed forward immediately. This season, he not only made breakthroughs in the first round, but also in the second round. Now he has made it to the finals. Naturally, he is indescribably excited.
Except for Tracy McGrady, none of these veterans has entered the finals. This is still unfamiliar to them.
When the Bengals faced the Hornets in the first round, they swept their opponents 4:0. There was no suspense about it. In the second round, they faced the Los Angeles Clippers led by Paul Griffin. They put in a little effort and defeated their opponents 4:1 in the Western Conference finals.
The Thunder were struggling. Although the score was 4:1 like the second round, the Western Conference Finals was much more difficult than the second round. Except for the fifth game, both teams were at the end.
The winner was determined in one quarter of the game, and even in the first two games, they relied on Yang Zhenxing's buzzer-beaters to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to win the game at the decisive moment.
The second round also made them realize that it is not easy to win the championship even with a super strong lineup.
At this time, the Eastern Conference was still full of smoke. After 7 fierce contests, the Heat finally defeated their opponents in the decisive moment of Game 7 with the last-minute performance of James and Wade, and once again advanced to the finals.
In this case, the Tigers and Heat will stand on the highest stage to watch the fiercest showdown. Although the Tigers have many superstars, except for McGrady, other players have no experience in the finals. Like McGrady, he is even the third
I made it out of the first round once, but I didn’t expect to make it out of the finals all of a sudden.
Compared with the Heat, they lack several finals experience. The core players of the Heat have not changed, and Chalmers has also made obvious progress. Therefore, although the Tigers are full of superstars, they even defeated the Eastern and Western All-Stars.
At the beginning of the game, the Tigers won the first wave of offensive possessions. Yao Ming wanted to go inside. After receiving the ball, he directly leaned back. This rhythm is good, swipe! The ball hit steadily.
During the Heat's offense, the ball has been transferred to James' hands, but McGrady immediately pounced on him. McGrady will have to compete with James this time.
James slumped his shoulders, trying to trick McGrady into diving to the left. He broke through from the right, but McGrady didn't want to take it at all, so James made a fadeaway shot. "No, grab the rebound!" McGrady shouted loudly.
But obviously Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian and Bosh and Harrelson grabbed the ball together, and someone didn't know who pushed the ball upwards. Bosh's second reaction was really quick, and he jumped up again.
"It's mine!" Bosh yelled
"You're still a little short of it!" I saw a yellow figure already taking the lead and picking the ball off hard.
"The ball belongs to me, haha!!!" Yang Zhenxing smiled at Bosh, and at the same time, he had already taken the shot. The ball had been thrown far to the front by Yang Zhenxing. "The pass was beautiful, Yang" had already fast-breaked it to the basket.
Tracy McGrady made a powerful two-handed slam dunk, and the score was changed to 4:0!
Then the Heat's offense, Harrelson beat Yi Jianlian, Bosh did a good fake move, Yi Jianlian was fooled, Bosh did not make a move, and when Yi Jianlian jumped up, Bosh suddenly got up, the referee blew a whistle, and a foul was made.
Give the opponent two free throws
Bosh steadily made two free throws, 4:2! Iverson gave the ball to Yang Zhenxing, who controlled the ball and dribbled across half court. Wade was about one meter away from Yang Zhenxing, staring at the ball in Yang Zhenxing's hand.
At this time, Tracy McGrady made a reverse run towards the basket. It was a combination of Yi Jianlian and him, but James immediately followed him. "Inside, pass the ball." Yao Ming got entangled with Harrells in the inside. Yao Ming squeezed out a position and rushed towards
Yang Zhenxing, who was holding the ball, shouted
Yang Zhenxing lobbed the ball into the hands of Yao Ming under the basket. Harrelson pushed Yao Ming hard behind him, preventing him from turning around, so the ball was passed out again.
After receiving the ball, Yang Zhenxing made a habitual change of direction and quickly rushed to the right. Now that Wade is old, the power of the Flash can no longer exist, so Yang Zhenxing rushed over at once.
At this time, Bosh had already stepped up to defend, and Yang Zhenxing took off.
"It's not that easy!" Bosh jumped up high.
Suddenly, he found that the basketball in Yang Zhenxing's hand was missing. Yang Zhenxing pushed the basketball from his crotch to Yao Ming, who was no longer watching. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming jumped up and dunked again.
6:2 The Heat immediately called for a substitution.
Ray Allen, enter Wade, exit! Wade walked to the bench with a displeased look on his face, asked for a drink, and sat down. Wade suffered a slight injury during the game with the Bulls. Spoelstra looked at
Wade was in poor condition, so he was replaced and asked to make adjustments.
Next, the Tigers and Heat both opened
McGrady and James dominated most of the shots. As soon as the Tigers attacked, McGrady wanted the ball, and Yang Zhenxing had to give it to him. However, McGrady did have a nb reason, a fadeaway jumper, and a turnaround dunk after breaking through the baseline.
, a pull rod after a breakthrough in the middle, and a "dry pull" from outside the three-point line
The other players were shocked. What is going on? What is wrong with McGrady now? He has such a strong desire to attack. It seems that McGrady was frustrated before. He didn't even make it out of the first round. This time he entered the finals.
Very motivated
For the next period of time, the two sides fought in a stalemate.
There were more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter. Yang Zhenxing was replaced and Arenas came on. In addition, Yi Jianlian, who had committed two fouls, was also replaced by O'Neal. Tracy McGrady, who had a good hand, remained on the court.
The score was 24:19, and the Tigers still led by 5 points. The game went as expected, and no one was leading by much.
There was still back and forth on the court. Under Chalmers' organization, the Heat's offense was not inferior to that of the Tigers. Now the two teams were evenly matched. Ray Allen received a pass from Chalmers and hit a three-pointer.
Score the ball
In the last 20 seconds of the first quarter, the Heat were still 2 points behind the Tigers. The Heat's offense
Chalmers' skills are becoming more and more comprehensive now. It seems that Arenas can't be guarded.
"Yang, you come on the field. You must defend well this time." Phil Jackson said, "Okay, no problem." Yang Zhenxing looked confident.
Chalmers took a look and wondered why Yang Zhenxing was defending again this time, but he still calmly performed the cross step. He was about to break through Chalmers, and it was really fast. Although Yang Zhenxing was very fast,
Chalmers was still very skilled at this moment, and Yang Zhenxing was almost knocked away. Chalmers' center of gravity was far lower than Yang Zhenxing, but Yang Zhenxing followed immediately. By this time, O'Neal Jr. had already made up the defense.
He took action, but O'Neal Jr. couldn't stop it in time and hit him
This was a zero-degree shot. Chalmers was knocked out by O'Neal, and at the same time as he flew out, the basketball also hung into the basket. This shot was very difficult.
"Two points, one free throw." The referee's whistle also sounded.
Yang Zhenxing walked over and patted O'Neal on the shoulder, "It's okay, thank you for your extra defense!"
"Yang, you won't be able to guard against him, you have the fastest pace," O'Neal said quietly in Yang Zhenxing's ear.
"We still have one more chance to attack, and we will give it back to him!" Yang Zhenxing smiled at Phil Jackson.
Chalmers made a free throw and scored steadily! The Tigers tied the game at 24:24 with 8 seconds left on the clock.
8 seconds, what will happen? That’s enough! Yang Zhenxing is full of confidence
Yang Zhenxing dribbled the ball quickly through the half court. While paying attention to Chalmers who was following closely, he also looked at the timer on the basket. The time was ticking by one second.
At this time, there were 5 seconds left. James, who was beside McGrady, was already closely following Yang Zhenxing and already decided the ball! The Heat did not hesitate to double-team because there was no longer enough time to pass the ball.
It was obvious that Yang Zhenxing was going to play alone, so Bosh came over and Chalmers double-teamed Yang Zhenxing. Chalmers prevented Yang Zhenxing from breaking through, while Bosh was ready to jump up and block Yang Zhenxing at any time.
As for Yang Zhenxing, he was pressed more than one meter away from the three-point line. Even if he shot at this time, he would definitely not be able to score. The distance was too far. The audience loudly counted down to Yang Zhenxing, "4, 3, 2
"
Yang Zhenxing jumped up high, and Bosh also jumped up high. Bosh was feeling proud in his heart, no matter how fast you strike, you can't escape from my grasp.
Yang Zhenxing did not take action
"No, he's looking for a foul!" Bosh saw the smile in Yang Zhenxing's eyes and quickly retracted his arm that had blocked the shot, but was it too late? "It's too late! Haha," Yang Zhenxing said softly.
Yang Zhenxing leaned on Bosh, but the ball came out of his hands. There was basically no hope of scoring because it was too far and too high.
Brush!! Go in, the ball is actually flying in the air, hitting the board, even Yang Zhenxing finds it incredible that he scored this goal
Little O'Neal ran over and punched Yang Zhenxing hard, "Yang, I really belong to you."
The whole stadium was in a state of excitement, as if the game had already been won.
"Three points count, one extra free throw!" the referee signaled to everyone. As Yang Zhenxing made a three-point free throw, the first quarter ended at 28:24. The Tigers led by 4 points and entered the break.
Phil quickly arranged the tactics while everyone was resting. In short, he praised Yang Zhenxing's final performance and let Arenas control the ball in the second quarter. Yang Zhenxing switched to shooting guard. McGrady came down to rest for a while. It seems that this old guy
It seems that McGrady wants the whole package.
So the starting lineup in the second quarter became Yang Zhenxing, Arenas controlling the ball, power forward O'Neal (O'Neal performed very well in the short period of time he replaced Yi Jianlian in the first quarter), and Yao Ming continued to stay on the court.
