With 3 minutes left in the game, the score became 112:101!
Spoelstra had to call a timeout.
In three minutes, the score difference was 11 points, which was neither too much nor too little.
At least for the Heat's current offense, this point difference is difficult to catch up with.
The Heat players walked back to the bench, all of them with gloomy faces.
James also looked unhappy. As he walked back to tutor, he shouted to the head coach: "I want a shooter! There is no space on the court!"
Our problem is the offense!
Give me 4 shooters!”
what does this mean?
After hearing James' words, Wade frowned.
What do you mean? You dislike me?
I'm not old yet!
Are we still brothers?
Didn’t we agree to play brother basketball?
Are all good brothers no better than shooters?
Spoelstra was expressionless, but he was also cursing in his heart: Are you fucking sick?
Are you the coach or am I the coach?
Are you used to being a general manager?
What do you want to do when you command me in front of so many people?
You thought this was the Cavaliers?
Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?
Even if you are angry, you still have to listen to the emperor's words.
Unless Spoelstra really doesn’t want to be the head coach...
After the timeout, the Heat made adjustments to their lineup. Spoelstra replaced Bibby and James Jones. Together with James, Bosh and Miller, the Heat once again scored one star and four stars.
This is a pure offensive lineup.
Spoelstra is still very knowledgeable.
Facts have proved that James still prefers the shooter than his brother.
There is no other way, I want to break through to the inside.
I want to get the data.
Although my brother is good, he wants to compete with me for the ball!
No matter how good my brother is, he can't block my yellow way!
My emperor wants to be the first in history!
How can we fight without data?
Looking at the lineup that the Heat had picked up, commentator A-Smith shook his head helplessly and said: "James is really awesome. The person he trusts the most at the critical moment is not his brother Wade, but a few shooters!"
Barkley asked: "How do you know this is James' arrangement?"
"Did Wade himself ask for this? Could this be Bosh's arrangement? Do you believe it?"
"Well, it seems that what you said makes sense..." Barkley nodded: "It seems that I still underestimated James' energy."
The game continues.
After getting 4 shooters, the Heat's offense has indeed improved a lot.
I have to say that James is indeed more suitable to be used with shooters.
James's breakthrough ability is quite strong. If you want to limit him, you can only rely on helping to defend against a flanking attack. If you want to break the flanking attack, the best way is to put up a shooter!
Think about it, if there were four Curries standing outside, who would dare to flank James?
But if it's the other way around, and there are four Rondos standing outside, then James won't have any room to break through.
In order to limit James, the Warriors still attacked from a double flank.
Of course, in addition to flanking, the Warriors also resolutely defended the first receiver.
As long as the ball is passed by James, no matter how far away it is, you must pounce!
It's a real pounce, not a bluff pounce!
Even if it's a foul, he won't hesitate.
Although free throws are required after the foul, although it may give the Heat a chance to score easily? But if the Warriors do this, James will not be able to get assists.
The more you want something, the less likely you are to succeed!
As long as the opponent is unhappy, you will be happy!
It doesn’t matter if I feel comfortable or not? As long as you feel uncomfortable, that’s enough!
Deng Fang dared to do this because he knew that this was James' weakness.
Of course, there is another reason: Deng Fang wants other people on the Heat team to handle the ball.
Several of the Heat's shooters are used to shooting after receiving the ball from James, and they don't pass the ball much.
In this case, I will let you pass the ball more and take less shots!
In a word? Let you score at a pace you are not used to.
Do the Warriors dare to do this? There is another reason? That is, they have a small lineup and are very fast.
Tucker at center? Prince at the 4? The speed of this lineup is unmatched and is very suitable for defending three-pointers.
How's that? Several players on the Heat team have played a lot of time with James on the court, and they understand each other very well.
Miller, Bibby and others know very well? As long as the ball is passed by James, just shoot decisively!
Send it more?
nonexistent!
Why?
Because then the emperor will be unhappy!
The emperor is unhappy? The consequences are serious!
Although the Warriors shot very fiercely, James Jones and others shot more resolutely.
As long as the ball is passed, regardless of whether the Warriors pounce on it or not, the Heat will shoot resolutely!
As a result, the Heat committed several fouls in a row and kept getting to the free throw line.
Scoring at the free throw line is the best way to chase points.
But James was still depressed and his face was gloomy.
Why?
Because these scores have nothing to do with you.
To be precise, it should be that these scoring opportunities were obtained by passing the ball to me, but I didn't get a single assist!
Of course, what's more troublesome is that the Heat's offense is better, but their defense is much worse.
Curry and Lowry broke through to the basket several times to score, and the Heat's restricted area was turned into a sieve.
There is no way, except for James and Bosh, everyone on the Heat team is terrible at defense!
Even Bosh has a hard time switching to Curry and Lowry on the outside.
The five players on the court for the Warriors are Curry, Lowry, Laga Bell, Prince, and Tucker.
This is a super small lineup.
These five people are very accurate in three-pointers and move very fast, which makes the Heat very annoying to defend.
It turns out that when Kirilenko was on the court, the Heat still had one spot they could let go. Now, of the five Warriors players on the court, the Heat don't dare to let go of any of them!
Mike Miller, James Jones, and Mike Bibby all move very slowly and are all defensive holes. Bosh can't even get to the outside. The Heat can only rely on James to wipe their butts. No matter how hard they do it, they can't wipe it out.
Come.
Originally, it was James who defended Curry, but after the Heat put together this one-star lineup, only James could help defend in the penalty area, so Curry was freed up.
There is no way, this is the price the Heat must pay.
If you want to attack, you have to give up part of your defense.
It’s so easy to have both offense and defense!
The Warriors are very accurate on the outside, and the Heat defend very outside, so Curry and Lowry are accurate every time they break out.
It is not easy for Curry and Lowry to deal with Miller, James Jones and Bibby!
When the Heat started to help defend, Mike Bibby and others were not afraid of attacking too hard, and Curry began to show off his power on the outside!
Drifting away from Miller, he shot a three-pointer!
Two steps beyond the three-point line and then shoot a super long three-pointer!
Fast break counterattack with another emergency stop three-pointer!
…
Curry scored 10 points in a row.
Coupled with Lowry's 5 points, the Warriors went on a 16-10 run in just over two minutes.
Although the Heat are not scoring slowly, the Warriors are scoring more efficiently!
The score difference came to 17 points.
There was less than a minute left in the game, and there was no suspense about the outcome.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning, James started throwing three-pointers from outside.
You pounce on the ball I pass out. You would rather let them take a free throw than give me a chance to get an assist!
In this case, I'd better do it myself, throw in one and earn one.
This is the finals, and you can make money by getting into one!
The data obtained at this time is very valuable.
As long as I have enough data, I can surpass Jordan and become the first person in history!
As long as there is enough data, I can say that the Heat lost, but I did not lose!
As long as I have enough data, I have reason to say that losing is not because I am not good, but because my teammates are rubbish!
In less than a minute, James made three consecutive three-pointers!
The game has entered the countdown phase. The Heat are 17 points behind and have no chance of winning. James is still urging his teammates to foul.
Foul, let the Warriors make free throws, get the ball, and then James throws a three-pointer from the outside.
Although Prince knew what James wanted to do and tried his best to defend, he still let James throw one in.
There is no way, his physical fitness is really incredible, if he desperately wants to take action, no one can prevent him.
Seeing that Meng scored a three-pointer, James became even more energetic. With two seconds left and the Warriors gave up on defense, James dribbled past the midfielder quickly and threw the ball directly.
James was very lucky. The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.
Three-pointer at the buzzer!
Although it was not a decisive victory, even though the Heat lost the game, James was still relieved. He snorted coldly, glanced back at the Warriors bench, and walked back to the locker room.
The emperor was unhappy, and the consequences were serious...
Curry and others didn't care about James at all, they celebrated in advance.
You take the data, and victory belongs to us.
In the end, the score was fixed at 129:118, and the Warriors won Game 3.
The series score became 3:0, and the Heat were on the verge of elimination.
After the game, Curry scored a total of 53 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds, and three steals.
Triple-double in the finals!
Still a 50+ triple-double!
horrible!
In this game, Curry was on full fire, fully engaged in day-to-day mode.
Break through to the basket and score, draw fouls and go to the free throw line to score, shoot three-pointers directly from the outside, assist teammates to score, and steal fast breaks!
Curry has completely turned into a scoring machine, leading the Warriors forward alone!
James on the Heat's side played 48 minutes and scored 22 points, 4 assists, and 14 rebounds, but he also made 7 turnovers.
I have to say that it is really difficult to completely restrict James.
Even though the Warriors used the entire team's strength to block James alone, James still scored 22 points.
There is no way, I just have good health, can play the whole game, and still have a lot of ball rights in my hands, I can do whatever I want, what can you do?
The game was over, and Deng Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really not easy to win this game.
The first is that the referees are very unfriendly to the Warriors.
The Warriors got into foul trouble at the start of the game.
After the whole game, Curry had 5 fouls. Among the starters, Tucker had the least fouls with 4 fouls.
Fortunately, the Warriors had a lot of players, fortunately Deng Fang was tough enough, fortunately Curry was injured twice, and the referee's conscience found that the latter whistle was fairer.
Even so, Kirilenko was ejected.
You know, Kirilenko's position in the Warriors is quite important.
Without Kirilenko, Deng Fang can only let Tucker take the No. 5 position.
This is a bit of a risky move. If you don't defeat your opponent, you will be defeated by your opponent.
In addition, Curry was injured twice, which is quite dangerous.
Curry's two injuries were very serious. If Deng Fang hadn't been there, Curry would have quit the game before the first quarter was finished and would have been reimbursed for the season.
Even with Deng Fang here, the warriors are still in great danger.
Curry was injured twice, which cost 320 ability points each time. Added together, Deng Fang’s 640 ability points were used up!
You know, under normal circumstances, Deng Fang can only gain one ability point for every game he wins in the regular season.
Fortunately, Deng Fang had enough confidence in the team and boasted loudly before every game.
Even so, on average, Deng Fang can only get about three averages per game in the regular season.
The Warriors have an incredible record this season, with 73 wins and 9 losses.
After playing 82 games, Deng Fang gained a total of 194 ability points.
After the first three rounds of the playoffs, Deng Fang gained a total of 170 ability points.
In the first two games of the finals, Deng Fang received a total of 128 ability points.
In total, Deng Fang obtained a total of 492 ability points.
Fortunately, after finishing last season, Deng Fang accumulated a lot of ability points.
When this season started, Deng Fang had nearly 300 ability points.
Fortunately, only a few dozen ability points were used to treat Curry and others during the season.
Even so, Deng Fang only has 32 ability points in his hand now!
Regardless of whether he is a starter or a substitute, as long as someone on the Warriors gets sick, there is nothing Deng Fang can do.
Fortunately, no one outside the world knew about this, especially James.
Otherwise, I don’t know how Curry will be tortured in the next game.
So it was really not easy for the Warriors to win this game.
The main reason why the Warriors can affect this game is Curry's incredible performance.
Curry's performance in this game was really perfect, with three-pointers, breakthroughs, and connections. His two heroic returns also greatly boosted the team's morale.
If Curry's performance was even worse, if Curry's touch was worse, the game might have been lost.
Of course, Curry's ability to perform so well depends on the help of his teammates.
It was precisely because of the hot touch of his teammates that the Heat seemed very hesitant to double-team Curry in this game.
If Prince and others have poor three-point shooting, and the Heat attack Curry resolutely, and it becomes difficult for Curry to perform well, then the Warriors will be in danger.
Regardless, the result was good, and the Warriors gained a hard-won victory.
Winning this game also allowed Deng Fang to gain 64 ability points.
Including the remaining 32, Deng Fang now has 96 ability points in his hand.
Although it's not enough to treat a team member once, it's better than nothing.
It won’t be used this season, but it will still be useful next season.
The big score became 3:0, there was no suspense in the series, and the Warriors were only one step away from the championship.
