Only the Trail Blazers players know that the reason why coach Terry Stotts called two timeouts in a row was just to let Wang Zelin regain some strength.
"What are you talking about? We are one of our own!" Coach Terry patted Wang Zelin on the shoulder, "I will rely on you later!"
Intense tactical arrangements are underway...
"Luke, you go and replace Pavlovic. Your task is to move without the ball and keep them away from LaMarcus and Wang as much as possible."
"Matthews, after receiving the ball, immediately make a screen to help Damien get rid of Dwayne; if it fails, quickly move to the nearby three-point line and be ready to catch the ball."
"As for Damien, your mission is..." Coach Terry smiled strangely, "deliver the ball to the hands of Wang or LaMarcus."
"ah!"
"ah!"
Wang Zelin and LaMarcus shouted one after another.
With only 7 seconds left, there are obviously more opportunities for the outside to use force, but the coach arranged for inside shots.
"Ah, that's right," Coach Terry was very satisfied with the players' reaction. "Even you think the team will attack from the outside, so I have to do the opposite!"
"Answer me, do you two have the confidence to complete the final shot?"
Coach Terry looked directly at Wang Zelin and Aldridge.
"have!"
"have!"
"Okay, let's follow the plan later. Damien, you have to act according to the situation. Whoever has the opportunity first, Wang or LaMarcus, will pass it immediately." Coach Terry ordered.
"Um!"
Lillard nodded.
…
After the timeout ended, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra immediately noticed that the Trail Blazers' on-field lineup had changed again, and he became wary.
"Everyone, pay attention to the Trail Blazers' No. 8 player. The white forward is very good at shooting. Last season, his three-point shooting percentage was 43%."
"What!"
The generals are a little frightened. You must know that the Heat's two sharp shooters, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, shot 45.8% and 43.5% from three-pointers last season respectively.
Marksmen of this level are rare to find in the league, but there is one in the opposing Trail Blazers.
"That No. 8 is called Luke Babbitt. He made 43 of 100 three-pointers last season. Although the number of shots cannot compare with Ray's 332 times and Mike's 177 times, as a substitute who only played 13 minutes, it is dangerous.
The coefficient is indeed high enough.”
NBA Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, then an assistant coach with the Heat, promptly added.
After learning about Luke Babbitt's information, everyone on the Heat team became more convinced that the Trail Blazers' final attack would most likely come from the outside.
Focus on the outside!
James and Wade looked at each other, and a tacit understanding had been reached.
As everyone knows, all this plays into Coach Terry's hands.
…
"Beep beep beep!"
Aldridge stood on the sidelines and fired the ball from the frontcourt.
The Heat's defense is very targeted, focusing on Lillard and Luke Babbitt.
Lillard, Matthews and Luke Babbitt move quickly without the ball.
Taking advantage of the screen, Lillard received Aldridge's serve. The latter immediately went inside, but was blocked by James.
To be honest, Aldridge is not as good as James in terms of strength and weight.
6 seconds!
Luke Babbitt was focused on by the misplaced Mike Miller and couldn't get out of space.
5 seconds!
Lillard ran out of position and Wade caught up again.
4 seconds!
Matthews ran around the baseline, and Ray Allen bumped into Aldridge... opportunity!
"Stop dreaming!"
James rushed forward crazily, Matthews saw this and passed it to Aldridge beside him, and Bosh rushed over.
3 seconds!
Aldridge made a cross pass, and the target... Wang Zelin was left open on the right!
"Fake!!!"
"Who's guarding you?"
"Why did you miss that rookie?"
The expressions of the Heat fans changed drastically and they began to curse.
Eric Spoelstra, who was standing shivering on the sidelines, roared no louder than the fans on the sidelines.
"Dwayne, come on!"
"What are you doing!"
"..."
Eric Spoelstra was so angry that he almost rushed onto the court if Bob McAdoo hadn't stopped him.
2 seconds!
catch!
Wade and Ray Allen jumped high and tried to interfere.
1 second!
Shake your wrist and take action!
The advantage of height was clearly displayed, and Wang Zelin successfully launched.
"No way?"
The Heat generals stared uneasily at the orange basketball in the sky.
finally……
The timer countdown is all reset to zero.
Red lights light up at the same time around the backboard and timer.
"Ang ang ang!"
The piercing buzzer sounded throughout the stadium.
The game is over, and basketball has ended its short journey.
"Whoosh!"
101:100!
"Oh, my god!"
"Damn, what's going on?"
"We lost? We really lost!"
The fans at the scene widened their eyes in shock and stared at the Trail Blazers' No. 36 with disbelief.
…
At this moment, Chinese fans across the ocean are paying close attention to this game.
Inside the NBA studio.
When Director Zhang saw that the ball fell into Wang Zelin's hands, a string in his mind tightened instantly: "Now that the ball is in Xiao Wang's hands, what will he do with it? He shot..."
After a brief suffocation in the chest.
"Fuck! I'm in!!"
"This shot is played very reasonably! Just play it the way it should be played!!!"
Director Zhang transformed into Zhang Lili on the spot.
"Wang Zelin took action! The ball went in!! Wang Zelin beat the Miami Heat!!!"
"Oh my God, it was a buzzer-beater!"
Director Ma's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and the entire live broadcast room couldn't help but tremble.
Studio message board.
"Wang Zelin took action! Go in!!! Killer!!!"
"Fuck you! This young man!! Fuck you!!!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, my fire was actually killed like this!"
"..."
After a brief controversy.
"The king is awesome!"
"The king is awesome!"
"The king is awesome!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
On the message board, four big characters were flashed all over the screen.
…
"Yes! Yes!"
"Cool! King!"
"You have completed the killing blow!"
"You led us to victory!"
Lillard, who was closest to Wang Zelin, rushed over with joy.
Grinning like a big child, he jumped directly onto Wang Zelin.
A night of persistence and a night of hard work finally paid off!
The other teammates rushed over one by one, jumping up and down, and even the Blazers players sitting on the bench rushed into the court waving towels.
"I knew you could do it!" Coach Terry raised his arms and led the coaching staff to run towards Wang Zelin with excitement.
Everyone formed a circle with Wang Zelin as the center, jumping and jumping, celebrating hysterically.
This game is so difficult!
You know, the opponent is the defending champion Heat, led by the Miami Big Three.
Faced with such a strong enemy, many teams in the league were timid before fighting.
But under so much attention, the Trail Blazers endured the pressure of a heavy burden and completed the lead at the last moment of the game.
At the end of the game, the American Airlines Arena became a carnival venue for the Trail Blazers.
The fans at the scene had extremely complicated expressions.
They saw with their own eyes that an unknown player, who was completely ignored before the game, completed an epic comeback at their home court.
The one who beat the Miami Heat was a center from China!
An Asian center and a yellow guy actually defeated the invincible Heat Big Three.
Thousands of fans stood, holding their heads in their hands, staring at the large electronic screen hanging on the dome.
Some younger fans were caught on camera and began to cry with tears streaming down their faces.
They only witnessed the Miami Heat win the O'Brien Cup last year and reach the top of the NBA.
But tonight...
LeBron James, who was defeated by Wang Zelin, had his hands on his hips and stared blankly at the final score on the big screen.
101:100.
What an irony!
In the end, James had to accept the fact that he lost.
It's still a buzzer-beater, and really leaves no chance at all.
Turn around and look at the Trail Blazers.
Wang Zelin, who completed the buzzer-beater, was surrounded by Trail Blazers players, enjoying the joy of victory.
depressed!
Unwilling!
Frustrated!
All kinds of emotions rushed into his heart. Finally, James finished managing his expression and greeted him with a smile.
A man can never lose his grace no matter how he loses!
"Man, you dominated the game tonight!"
"I will remember this night forever. The next time we meet, I will kick your ass hard!"
James took the initiative to find Wang Zelin, hugged him, and gave Wang Zelin a hard slap on the back.
Wang Zelin did not dare to show weakness and hit James hard on the back.
So hard!
"LeBron, I promise, I will be the winner next time we meet."
James was hammered so hard that the corner of his mouth twitched.
"hiss!"
It hurts!
After letting go of James, the two exchanged a few words. Wang Zelin turned around and trotted away, disappearing into the player tunnel.
"I'm really looking forward to our next meeting!" After coming back to his senses, James depressed the hair tie on his head, "The press conference in a while will be nerve-wracking again."
Few people have noticed that James, who is only 28 years old, is completely bald under his hairband.
