Chapter 497 Fighting to the limit is still in vain
After the score was tied, the Heat's offense became more cautious.
Wade got the first scoring opportunity in the next offensive round, but after Connet Lee's defense arrived, he decisively gave up the opportunity in front of him and chose a pass to reorganize the offense.
The ball was passed back and forth, consuming too much unnecessary time. The Heat's caution made their mentality become manic and restless when their offensive round entered the last 5 seconds.
After Wade failed to force a breakthrough, he jumped up and passed the ball to Ray Allen on the right wing three-point line. Ray Allen shot almost at the buzzer at the last second and bounced out of the basket with a bang.
Wang Zelin rushed to the basket the moment Ray Allen took the shot. At this moment, his approach seemed a bit extreme. For a rebound, he gambled that his opponent might steal the rebound and counterattack an open three-pointer.
But Wang Zelin made the right bet.
As a result, Ray Allen's shot was a bit hasty, and even his teammates failed to react immediately. James was stuck behind Aldridge again. Wang Zelin suddenly rushed out and played the role of a surprise player. He jumped up and easily
He picked up the 11th rebound of the game.
The next second after getting the rebound, Wang Zelin did not pass it to anyone, but pushed forward himself and initiated a fast break.
When Wang Zelin ran a certain distance, Bosh and James realized the situation and hurriedly chased after him.
It's a pity that everyone underestimated Wang Zelin. No one expected that after three quarters of high-temperature fighting, he could still explode with such great speed.
Under the leadership of Wang Zelin, the Trail Blazers once again played a fast break to counterattack the storm and added two more points.
After a wave of offense and defense, at 91:89, the Trail Blazers had another 6:0 spurt, and once again overtook the score difference.
But the Blazers' offensive and defensive battle was far from over. Looking back, the offense and defense switched. When Aldridge desperately entangled Bosh, Wang Zelin got rid of Battier's entanglement and blocked Wade's shot on the left.
Layup and another fast break.
The Heat's morale took a huge hit. Then Bosh made a mistake and was intercepted by Aldrich, who completed the fast break.
When the time came to 8 minutes and 33 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers suddenly launched a 10:0 attack wave, directly stopping the Heat.
95:89, the Trail Blazers lead by 6 points.
On the big screen in the dome, Wang Zelin's personal statistics rose to 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.
His performance tonight was as steady and strong as ever!
"The Heat has reached the edge of the cliff, and if you take one step back, you will be in the abyss!"
Yang Jian shouted loudly in the live broadcast of the imperial court.
"Looking at the Trail Blazers, as long as they take one step further, they can win tonight's game and take a 3-0 series lead... The NBA's highest honor, the O'Brien Cup, is waving to Wang Zelin!"
On the other side, Zhang Lili was also very excited.
Because he knew that he was witnessing the rise of a great being.
His words received support and approval from all domestic fans.
"Go Heat!"
“Miami Rise!”
"Don't forget our dynasty agreement!"
Meanwhile, countless posts rooting for the Heat popped up.
?In the TNT live broadcast booth, Weber said seriously: "If the Trail Blazers can win this game, it means that the series leads the Heat 3:0. In this way, we can congratulate Wang Zelin in advance for becoming the first player in NBA history to win in 1980."
After "Magic" Earvin Johnson in the 2018 NBA Finals, he is another young player who has won two championships and FMVP honors at the age of 21!"
Above the court, on a huge hanging screen, the honors won by Magic Johnson as a rookie in his first and second years and the honors won by Wang Zelin as a rookie in his first and second years were displayed on it and compared one by one.
Through this comparison, people suddenly discovered that Trail Blazers No. 36 has already been able to compete with his predecessors. He has not yet completed two years as a rookie, and he has already reached the level of his peers and even 99% of current players.
?Countless great records of predecessors are waiting for him to challenge.
He is destined to be great!
On the sidelines, general manager Nel Olsey, head coach Terry Stotts and owner Paul Allen, who did not attend a single game of the Finals to support the Trail Blazers, were all excited.
In front of the Heat bench, James felt very complicated, because he saw the birth of another new king of the league. His era had just arrived, but before he could gain a foothold, new challengers could not wait to enter history.
stage.
Looking at the data on the big screen, James was a little silent.
At this point in the game, even he doesn't have much hope of winning tonight's game.
If you lose tonight, you will be 0:3 behind. How difficult is it to make a comeback?
…
During the timeout, Heat coach Spoelstra emphasized his defense against Wang Zelin. When the camera was focused on him, he looked very angry.
During the timeout, Coach Terry repeatedly emphasized that the first step is to defend well, and the second step is to hand the ball to Wang Zelin.
"Give the ball to Wang and let him end the game. Of course, the most important thing is that our defense must not make mistakes. I must remind everyone that there is LeBron, Dwayne, and Chris on the opposite side...
…They are the team with the most giants in the league, and they must not let down their guard until the last moment.”
When it comes to defense and on-the-spot changes, Coach Terry is not considered top-notch, but when it comes to offense, he is definitely ranked among the coaches of the 30 teams in the league.
He knows that in the next game, while defending well, he also needs to have enough shooting threats from the outside to open up space for Wang Zelin.
Therefore, at the last moment, he replaced Aldridge, who was nearly exhausted, with Garnett, who had more energy and experience. He replaced Beverley, who had better defense and good open shooting ability.
Combit Lee.
"The Trail Blazers made two substitutions, with KG and Mad Dog coming on the scene. Nothing remains unchanged on the Heat's side, because the Heat's lineup at this time is already the strongest lineup they can field."?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The pause is over and the decisive moment has arrived.
The Heat's offense and the Trail Blazers' defense rotated quickly. Halfway through the time, they didn't give the Heat any chance. Wade's second catch and breakthrough gave him a throwing opportunity.
He threw the ball without hesitation...
"Snapped!"
There was a muffled sound and the ball was blown away.
American Airlines Arena, filled with exclamations.
The person who was blocked on the court was their Flash!
"Wonderful sideways flying shot. In this game, Dwayne's offensive performance started to falter. After scoring 8 points in the half, he made 5 of 14 shots in the middle of the fourth quarter and only scored 13 points."
Wang Zelin's block did not help the Trail Blazers gain the ball, but there were only 5 seconds left for the Heat to attack.
After they struggled to get the ball out, they passed it from the outside once more and once again chose to trust Ray Allen. The latter picked up the ball and hit a three-pointer.
With a bang, the ball hit the frame without any suspense.
The high temperature at home has intensified the physical exertion of the veteran. What's more, Ray Allen has already played 28 minutes, which has exceeded his average playing time in the playoffs.
There was a roar from the basket, and it was Wang Zelin again. He stood up above a group of big men and protected the backcourt rebound.
"After getting the rebound, the Portland Trail Blazers counterattacked. As long as they score one more goal, they will lead by 12 points! What a despair it will be for the Heat! What a painful blow!"
After taking a few steps with the ball, Wang Zelin was intercepted by James and quickly passed the ball to Lillard.
Seeing this, Wade exerted force with his feet and really wanted to pass to Lillard, but he was tightly entangled by Trail Blazers 3, making it difficult to even take a step forward.
?Patrick Beverley!
That's why Coach Terry hooked him up.
No matter how solid Wade's performance tonight is, he is the Flash after all. He was once "five centimeters shorter than Jordan" and may get angry at some point.
Therefore, the purpose of replacing Beverley is to let this mad dog bite Wade on the court all the time and prevent Wade from feeling better.
"Chasing three points!"
Lillard ran to the three-point line in the frontcourt, suddenly stopped, stood still, and shot a three-pointer.
At this moment, O'Neal in the commentary box immediately announced: "A very bold move! But if it goes in, high risks will be exchanged for high profits!"
It's just that O'Neal's mouth seems to be open, um, in reverse.
"Duang~"
It hit the side of the basket, bounced high, and missed!
Lillard's face turned dark on the spot.
Impossible. He has always been sure of three-point opportunities like this. Why did he just...
At this time, everyone's eyes were only focused on the high-bouncing backboard.
The next moment, four big men, Garnett, Batum, James, and Lewis, started a fierce battle for rebounds under the basket.
No one noticed that a huge creature was approaching them with fast and heavy steps.
"Duang~"
Garnett and James had just taken off, but they were shocked to see the ball fall, bounce on the neck of the basket, and bounce high again. The two took off and grabbed the air.
"mine!"
"mine!"
Batum and Lewis roared at the same time and jumped at the same time.
However, at this time, the danger has quietly come.
Soon, the broadcast camera cut from the battle for rebounds under the basket to the last participant, Wang Zelin.
"Huh!"
"That is……"
At the moment when all the fans in the stadium were in shock, something surprising happened to everyone.
A black shadow shot out from the free throw line, his feet bounced high like springs, and flew towards the backboard.
Pioneer 36 took off, no, took off...
"Oh my god, it's Wang Zelin, what does he want to do?"
"With such a jumping height, does he have invisible wings behind him!?"
Under the exclamations of the commentators, Wang Zelin grabbed the pop-up ball with his right hand in the air and directly jumped from the basket. Lewis, who also jumped up, took the rebound over his head and made a beautiful overhead kick.
It’s not over yet!
Wang Zelin, who got the rebound, kept moving and didn't wait for himself to land.
The muscles all over his body were tense, like a full moon bow in the air, and he held the basketball in his right hand and waved it vigorously.
He slammed the basketball in his hand toward the basket!
"Bang!"
A voice echoed throughout the entire place.
Tip-up dunk!
The huge force caused the basket frame to tremble.
At this time, there was unexpectedly a brief moment of silence on the court, and everyone was so shocked by this putback that they were speechless.
"Fuck!!!"
"Oh - buy it!!!"
"Is this something a human can accomplish?"
"Please call him God! God is playing in the Blazers jersey No. 36 tonight!"
In front of the TV, the major commentators recalled this terrifying supplementary sentence and sounded very excited.
They never expected that after 30 minutes of fighting in such a cruel competition environment, Wang Zhilin could give everyone such a wonderful performance.
To put it more broadly, this time including his opponents and teammates, Wang Zelin can be said to have accomplished a feat of one dunk and four.
Unsurprisingly, this moment is very likely to be voted the best goal in this year's finals.
Different from the surprise from the commentator, Wang Zelin's expression was abnormally calm on the court, which made the Heat players intimidated.
At this time, under his calm appearance, Wang Zelin was filled with passion and confidence.
After this dunk, he no longer had any worries or concerns about the victory of this game.
"hateful!"
At this time, James couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
Until now, Wang Zelin has only rested for 5 minutes, which is equivalent to only one and a half minutes of rest in each quarter. And when he is on the court, he consumes a lot of energy.
But even so, won't this guy feel tired?
For the first time in his life, James was so helpless towards a big center:
Are you a monster?
Offense and defense transition.
After the Heat experienced a long and boring period of forging, James, who could never find a chance in this offense, had no choice but to go up against Wang Zelin and choose to go strong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a result, James' layup was hit by Wang Zelin and hit the left side of the basket, and failed to hit!
But the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.
"What?"
O'Neill's eyes were as wide as bells, and he spread his hands with a look of surprise on his face.
"Well……"
Weber turned his head, with the same four words "unbelievable" written on his face.
"Depend on!"
Seeing James standing on the free throw line, Wang Zelin cursed in his heart and reluctantly came to the left side of the free throw line, waiting for the free throw.
This ball was replayed through the broadcast, and it can be seen that Wang Zelin's hand did not touch James. It was a real good shot.
But now that the penalty was handed down, even though it was controversial, Wang Zelin could only stare.
Obviously, this is a home whistle.
What was supposed to come, came anyway.
However, Wang Zelin firmly believes that no matter how black the whistle is, it cannot match the absolute strength.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
At the critical moment, the human made two free throws and one of the best, which disappointed the Trail Blazers fans, because the former actually made two free throws.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, Thunder Balon is still very reliable.
But when James ran with all his strength, he suddenly found that his legs began to feel weak!
Feeling fierce in his heart, James gritted his teeth. He didn't believe that Wang Zelin, who had been fighting hand-to-hand all night, could be more energetic than him.
Facts have proved that James' idea was correct, because Wang Zelin made 0 of 2 shots in the next half quarter and never scored again.
But he still underestimated a little.
That's the age gap between the other players on both sides.
The Heat, the older team in the team, finally took the lead on the young Blazers and fell to the high temperature, collapsing early.
James, who was working to the limit, felt his calf twitch when he landed on a take-off layup with 1 minute and 48 seconds left in the game.
James, who lost all his center of gravity, fell heavily to the ground before he could complete the layup, then hugged his calf and covered his head in pain.
This scene made everyone present take a breath, because they had never seen James, the "human tank", fall to the ground after being injured in the game.
A familiar scene happened not far in front of him. Wang Zelin shook his head in allusion. If he remembered correctly, James' problem was not serious, he probably just had cramps.
The thirty-year-old man had reached the limit of what his body could bear tonight, but he still failed to win the game!
In the end, with the help of his teammates, James returned to the locker room early to receive treatment.
Seeing this scene, Pat Riley and Spoelstra looked at each other, then lowered their heads sadly.
They know that the Miami Heat and LeBron James have been completely defeated.
James' injury is like a microcosm of tonight's game. The Heat team tried their best, but still couldn't change the ending of the game.
The heat will never get hot again.
In the final seconds of the game, without James, the Heat quickly lost ground.
For more than a minute, all Heat fans were secretly hoping that James could stage the return of the king, but until the end of the game, James could not be seen on the basketball court again.
In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Heat 107:99 in the away game and took a 3:1 lead in the finals.
Wang Zelin scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal. In the third game of the finals, he once again contributed an all-around performance and became the main contributor to the team's victory.
Best of the match, well deserved!
In comparison, James' 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists pale in comparison.
From data to game results, Wang Zelin once again firmly suppressed James.
After the game, more than 3,000 Trail Blazers fans cheered loudly, and their cheers tonight were louder than every night before.
Because history has long proven that in the NBA Finals, there has never been a team that fell behind 0:3 and made a comeback.
Not a single team!
So, this may mean that the Portland Trail Blazers are about to usher in their second championship trophy in team history this year.
