James lay on the ground groaning, and the referee came to the technical table to watch the replay.
Deng Fang gave instructions to assistant coach Adams and walked quickly back to the locker room.
After waiting for a while, feeling that the play was almost over, James stood up with the help of his teammates.
"Ouch! It hurts me so much!" James shouted loudly, with a look of pain on his face: "I may not be able to fight anymore, help me back to the locker room."
Heat substitute players Juwan Howard and Pittman looked surprised:
What, so serious?
Not so!
Looking at the replay, it seems that Kirilenko didn't hit James!
Even if you are hit and your nose bleeds, a simple bandage will be enough, right?
This is……
Seeing that his teammates were not cooperating, James bared his teeth and shouted again: "Hurry, help me back to the locker room, I can't stand it anymore!"
Although the Oracle Arena was full of curses, James still ignored it and performed well!
Juwan Howard is a veteran with rich experience and knows James very well. He understood immediately and immediately helped James to the locker room.
Barkley on the technical desk also had a puzzled look on his face and sneered: "James can't play anymore? That's not true, right? He's acting a bit too much!"
I have to say that Barkley is very accurate in reading people and speaks sharply.
Shortly after James left the arena, the referee issued a penalty: James committed a first-level flagrant foul and the Warriors committed two free throws and one throw. Kirilenko committed a second-degree flagrant foul and was ejected with two free throws and one throw.
The curses at Oracle Arena started again. This time, not only James, but also the referees were unwelcome.
Why?
James injured Curry, and the result was only a first-level flagrant foul. Kirilenko defended his teammates, and actually gave him a second-level flagrant foul!
Is there any heavenly principle?
Is there any royal law?
Do you really think James is the emperor?
Although the fans had strong opinions, the referee was unmoved.
Even commentator Barkley said there was nothing wrong with this penalty.
James hit Curry, but he was indeed going for the ball at first. As for whether the slap in the back was intentional, how could anyone know except himself?
And Kirilenko’s punch must have been intentional!
The referee blew the whistle, and Kirilenko ran over from the side and punched James. Wasn't this intentional?
James only injured Curry objectively, but Kirilenko was subjectively malicious!
This is of a different nature.
Since there were two free throws on both sides, the free throws were cancelled, and the Warriors still had the ball. However, because James's thug fouled, the Warriors had to make two more free throws.
If it is determined that Curry cannot come back, then the Warriors head coach will send a player to replace Curry and take free throws.
However, Deng Fang gave the instructions before leaving, making sure that Curry would be back soon.
Then let the Heat designate a Warriors player to take free throws.
Spoelstra designated Lopez Jr.
Only Lopez's free throws were bad.
In fact, Lopez's free throws are not bad, but the rest of the Warriors are too accurate!
Lopez's career free throw shooting percentage is 75.1%, and James is only 73.5%!
Lopez came up and hit two free throws steadily. The score became 85:70, and the Warriors led by 15 points.
The game continues.
There were more than 7 minutes left in the third quarter, and this point difference was not safe.
Without Curry, Warriors assistant coach Adams hired Lowry and Tucker.
Lowry's defense is better than Curry's, and he is also a low-end version of Paul offensively.
Kirilenko is gone, so Tucker can only play.
On the Heat's side, Wade came on the stage and led four players, Mike Miller.
Although Lowry has good scoring ability, the gap between him and Curry is still not small. In addition, he does not have a good cooperation with the starting lineup, and the Warriors' offense is not very good.
On the contrary, Wade on the Heat's side is in good condition. He didn't play much time today, so he is in good physical condition. With James gone, Wade has completely let go. He shoots from inside and outside and keeps scoring.
After going back and forth, the point difference between the two teams continued to narrow.
The game only lasted more than two minutes, and the score became 89:81. The Warriors' lead was only 8 points.
At the same time, what is even more depressing is that James walked out of the passage!
James is back!
There doesn't seem to be any problem!
As soon as he comes back, he demands to fight!
James' calculation is very good, there must be a scene for the hero's return!
The credit for leading the team's reversal cannot be given to Wade alone!
This is the result of me giving up my face and doing the dirty work myself!
Wade can't be cheap!
So James came back without waiting for a while.
As for the performance just now, it was too realistic and the contrast with now is too big, so I can’t care about it anymore!
In order to win, face is optional!
Upon seeing this, Spoelstra quickly called a timeout.
James is back. If you want to play, you must listen to him!
No matter how well Wade plays, he can't do it!
This is James' team!
The current possibility of winning the game was also created by James.
We must make James happy!
Otherwise, even if you win this game, the subsequent games will be very annoying!
More importantly, once the emperor is unhappy, he will leave!
Losing in the finals is not a big deal because the opponent is the Warriors!
But once James leaves, it will be a big deal.
Anyone who can achieve the position of head coach is a talented person!
Spoelstra still understands this.
James' return boosted the morale of the Heat players, and they fought even harder after returning to the court.
Two consecutive fast break counterattacks allowed the point difference to continue to narrow.
Feeling the touch coming, James became bolder. When it was the Heat's turn to attack, he tested outside the three-point line and then directly shot a three-pointer.
The basketball bounced up when it hit the basket, bounced twice and finally rolled in.
After making a three-pointer - no, it should be Meng's three-pointer, the Heat finally overtook the score!
James clenched his fists and shouted "Yeah!"
I am so awesome!
He can even make a three-pointer!
Curry is nothing!
I can do what you know, and what I have, you don’t!
Why are you the MVP?
I don’t accept it!
At this moment, two more people walked out of the passage: Curry and Deng Fang!
Curry is bouncing around and seems to have no problems!
The silent Oracle Arena suddenly exploded!
Curry is back!
Deng Fang is also back!
There is hope for the competition again!
James also saw the two of them. He quickly signaled the referee to kick off and wanted to continue the game.
Taking advantage of Curry's absence, every extra point you can win is a point!
But Warriors assistant coach Adams was not slow to react, and he quickly called a timeout.
After taking a look at the scoreboard, Deng Fang shook his head.
If he hadn't been there, if Curry hadn't come back, this game might have been decided!
