"Come on guys, there are only 46 seconds left. In less than a minute, we can enjoy the cheers of victory!" Mike Brown cheered from the side.
"Everyone, cheer up! We must destroy the Miami Heat tonight!" Kobe wiped his sweat with a towel and said with a calm voice that was unquestionable.
"Hot, you performed well tonight. If you can win, you may have to accompany Kobe to the post-game press conference." Pau Gasol suddenly said as he walked past Tang Qian.
"Post-match press conference?" Tang Qian was stunned, because he really hadn't thought about this.
Seeing Tang Qian's dazed expression, the Spaniard chuckled and said, "Don't be anxious now. Let's think about this matter after we win the game."
When the pause time was over and he was about to re-enter the stage, a female voice came into Tang Qian's ears and said:
"Tang, come on~ You will definitely win tonight~"
Tang Qian looked back, and then nodded slightly in one direction, as if he was saying, don't worry, I will try my best to do it.
Beep~ With a sound, the final 46 seconds between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat kicked off.
The score between the two sides was 104-102, and the Lakers temporarily led with a slight 2-point advantage.
Because the Heat's athletic ability is so strong, the Lakers did not adopt a full-court defense, but instead waited in the backcourt for the arrival of Miami players.
Ci Shiping leads the defense against James.
Anyway, there was not much time left in the game, and Ci Shiping had no intention of saving any more energy. He bent his body and slightly bent his knees, looking like he was ready to fight LeBron James to the end.
James dribbled the ball slowly, and he observed the entire half-court situation. The Lakers' defense was very tight. In addition to Ci Shiping coming out to defend him on the outside, Kobe Bryant was also clinging to Dwyane Wade.
Matt Barnes followed Sean Battier. Inside were the twin towers Gasol and Tang Qian, guarding the basket together.
Twin Towers? James made a decision after observing for a moment. His right hand stopped dribbling, and then he raised his hand and stuffed the basketball away.
Destination, straight into the Lakers' left corner three-point line.
And standing there was No. 13 of the Heat, Mike Miller.
Aren’t you going to play the twin-tower tactic? Then I’ll use outside firepower to kill you!
James's idea is very clear. He wants to take advantage of the fact that it is usually difficult to expand the defense of the Twin Towers and make a big fuss.
James is very reassured because of Mike Miller's three-point shooting skills. After all, the former's career average three-point shooting percentage is over 40%, and even reached 48% in the highest season. This season, it is over 45%. These are a series of extremely reliable figures.
It shouldn't be difficult to take advantage of the movement problem of the twin towers and make a time difference.
Mike Miller himself thinks the same way. As long as he shoots open three-pointers, he doesn't think he will lose to anyone in the league.
After all, when I was young, I also beat 18+5+4 men, so I still have some psychological confidence.
Furthermore, Mike Miller is 203cm tall. A pitcher with this height has a higher release point than ordinary people, so he is more stable and less likely to be interfered by the opponent's defense.
You can't help but be impressed by LeBron James' vision and judgment.
Mike Miller has already been prepared to catch the ball and shoot, so as soon as he receives the pass, he immediately takes action and wants to shoot directly.
"Take up defense!"
Kobe stared at Wade while shouting loudly behind him. It is not difficult for a player of his level to use distraction. But now, all he can do is to remind him. After all, he is distracted.
It is easy to use it twice, but it is impossible to use it twice.
If Wade is let go to help defend, it will only create a greater threat.
Gasol subconsciously wants to cover up the defense, because with Andrew Bynum, he will always be the one to expand the defense. The owner's weight and willingness determine him, and he has no intention of throwing out. Because
Defending from the inside is a thankless act. If you prevent it, no one will cheer for you. If you can't prevent it, they will blame you for the goal. As soon as the nunnery thought of this, it disappeared.
That kind of interest in actively expanding defense.
Besides, once the defense is extended and away from the basket, it is impossible to even get a defensive rebound. Andrew Bynum is too lazy to do such stupid things.
Therefore, over time, it naturally became Pau Gasol's responsibility, and it is not surprising that the Spaniard would form this subconscious habit.
"Paul, you guard under the basket, I'll go over." Just when Gasol heard the voice, a black shadow rushed out from behind him. Looking in that direction, he didn't go straight to the left corner.
where is it?
Gasol looked at this man's name and thought to himself, why is he so active...
Tang Qian was moving very fast. Just as Mike Miller was about to take action, a large yellow-skinned figure appeared in front of him.
This is a very strange feeling. Mike Miller looked at this yellow center. Although the other man didn't say a word, he clearly felt a voice saying: If you have the guts, you shoot.
Do you want to take a shot? Mike Miller estimated the distance between the two, which is about 6 to 7 feet. Logically speaking, this distance is enough for him to take a shot. But for some reason, he suddenly thought of James being shot just now.
After half a second of hesitation when he blocked the shot, Tang Qian had already taken the opportunity to rush to him.
In fact, Tang Qian's foothold is not yet stable at this time. If Miller makes a breakthrough, it will have a certain effect. But Mike Miller's breakthrough ability is inherently poor. Even at his peak, he was mainly a projection.
As a forward and guard swingman, the breakthrough ratio is very low. Now that he is getting older, his breakthrough ability is even less. Not to mention Tang Qian, even Mike Miller himself has no confidence in his breakthrough.
It will be clear if you look at his career shot percentage.
So in the end, Mike Miller chose to pass the ball.
The basketball is passed back to LeBron James.
To be honest, James was very angry when he saw this result, but now is not the time to get angry. He has to tie the score first and then talk about other things. Due to the problem of attack time, James decided to beat Ci Shiping head-on. James rarely plays
Especially fancy dribbling, but this does not mean that his dribbling ability is not good. In his career, he has a high ball possession rate and a high usage rate, but only averages 3+ turnovers per game. This is evidence of his good ball control ability. James has good ball control ability because of his size and weight.
The reason is that his dribbling breakthrough is in a league of its own. The so-called Hesitation.Moves, LeBron is considered a top player.
James glanced up at the time, then slowly dribbled the ball, approaching the charity, world, and peace in front of him step by step.
In order to leave room for emergency response, Ci Shiping could only retreat to prevent him from getting too close and being blown away by James with one step.
James handed the basketball to his left hand, pressed forward slightly, and then inadvertently, he dribbled violently.
Seemingly hesitating, then bursting out in an instant, James' Hesitation.Moves was a textbook example.
And unlike ordinary players using Hesitation.Moves, James's hesitation movement is more powerful and difficult to break. Why? Because his body is a monster among outside players. Even if it is placed in the entire history of the NBA,
That's true for no one. So James' Hesitation.Moves, also known as tank Hesitation.Moves, even if the defender reacts in time, will be defeated by James' strong body and it will be difficult to stop him.
Oops~slow~
After all, Ci Shiping has also won DPOY before, and his experience on the defensive end is undoubtedly rich. Therefore, James just rushed to his side and he came up with a rough answer.
Sure enough, Ci Shiping was no match for LeBron James in terms of reaction speed and explosive power. Seeing this situation, Ci Shiping did not hesitate and immediately shouted behind him: "Take up the defense!"
Gasol was the one who ran over to cover up the ball, because Tang Qian had just pounced and couldn't cover up James now.
Gasol is not stupid either. As a European big man, he knows how to face the American players with superhuman bodies. If they are too tough, then be soft. Anyway, as long as he can defend them in the end, that will be fine.
Want to give me an offensive foul?
James has a broad vision. As soon as he saw the actions of Lakers No. 16, he immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
Just when James was about to collide with Gasol, the former took a small step and stopped abruptly. If this kind of movement were used by ordinary people, they would not dare to do it more. If one does not do it well, he may be injured.
, but for LeBron James, who has an "alien physique", this is nothing at all. After attracting Ci Shiping and Pau Gasol, he passed the ball sideways without even thinking about it.
, the basketball flew directly from Gasol's waist.
This wonderful pass was just right, diverting the attention of everyone on the Lakers team, and also running out of the tactics just arranged by head coach Erik Spoelstra. Without Gasol's control,
Haslem quickly lifted up and helped Wade complete a high-quality screen. However, the defender Kobe was also experienced. With his years of defensive experience, he quickly passed through behind him. Although Wade still occupied half of the
He took the first step, but did not completely lose his position. But Kobe did not expect that he had just moved two or three steps before he was blocked by a "wall of flesh" again.
The man building the wall is Heat team No. 31, Sean Battier.
Double cover???
Kobe Bryant screamed in his heart, but this time he couldn't keep up with Dwyane Wade. With Battier's cover, the "Flash" had already rushed to the right side of the Lakers penalty area.
, and this position is exactly behind Pau Gasol and Ci Shiping.
Blind spot attack.
After receiving the pass from LeBron, Wade bounced up, bent his knees, and then flew up out of thin air, like a helicopter.
The answer is obvious, "The Flash" will use a dunk to help the Miami Heat tie the score.
Oops, no one is guarding Wade!
Mike Brown stood on the sidelines and watched, really wishing he could go on the court to block Dwyane Wade's slam dunk.
But of course this was impossible to implement, so no matter how anxious he was, he could only stare and be helpless.
The DJ at the scene read out: "Dwyane Wade, dunk inside... oh~ what did I see???"
"Dwayne, be careful!" James also noticed something was wrong and immediately warned.
Wade wanted to make a change at this time, but he was a step too late.
Just when he was about to change his dunk to a layup, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and then without any explanation, he pressed it on the basketball in his hand.
This hand? Where did it come from? When I came in, there was obviously no defender inside, right???
Wait, the color of this hand is...yellow???is it him???
"Flash, come down here~"
when!
Another crisp sound appeared in Tang Qian's mind, but at this moment, he no longer cared about these things.
All he could think about and see was the basketball.
That orange basketball.
“Come down!!!”
With a "bang", the basketball flew out of Wade's hand. He stumbled after landing, but he didn't bother to stabilize his body and immediately turned his face away.
No. 29? Is it really him???
Kobe Bryant scored a 2-point pick-up basket for the Lakers, 106-102. The Lakers led by 4 points, and the Miami Heat requested a timeout again.
"Hot, you can do it! You can catch the ball back and block the shot? Aren't you afraid of falling to death?" The person who said this was Ci Shiping.
"Hot, 10+ blocks, that's so cool~ If you win tonight, you have to treat me to dinner! Let's celebrate!" This is Matt Barnes.
"Nice.work." This is Kobe Bryant.
Blocking 10+ shots is tantamount to a milestone for himself, and it is also the first time that audiences across the United States remember his name.
ESPN Live Room.
"Amazing~amazi!amazing.ce!!!" After Isiah Thomas saw the ball, he was not stingy and said "amazing" three times in a row.
"I finally know why you call him Smash~ This Oriental boy's persistence in blocking shots is far beyond the average person! He can also run back to block the ball. It takes courage, because you can't control it if you are not careful.
It will cause physical damage!" Jeff Van Gundy said: "I think he will squeeze out Troy Murphy. Although his offensive level is not as good as the latter, in terms of defense alone, he will be much better than Murphy. If he can continue
If you keep it up, it's not impossible to become a strong contender for the best sixth man in the future!"
"How's it going? Jeff, is my vision okay? Hahahaha~" Isiah Thomas laughed somewhat proudly.
Domestically, major basketball posts and basketball forums have experienced a surge in traffic.
"Holy shit~ Tang Qi is too fierce~ Did you see that ball just now? He ran back from the three-point line in the bottom corner to block Wade! This is too fierce!"
"My pants are almost wet by the sight!"
"Although this block is very nice, I still suggest that Tang Qian should do it less in the future, because he is too easy to get injured! Oriental people's physique is different from that of Europeans and Americans. Once injured, the recovery period will be longer, which is not worth the gain!"
"M.D! 10 blocks, this is too strong! Are you trying to make up for all the data from the previous games???"
"By the way, where is the brother who just said that if Tang Qian can get another Gaiweide, he will live broadcast eating sex? We are all waiting for you to complete the great cause of eating sex~"
There were 17 seconds left before the end of the game. Players from both sides came back on the court. In order to gain attack time, the Heat chose to serve the ball from the frontcourt.
Haslem stood on the sideline to serve. After James received the ball, he forced the shot directly against Ci Shiping.
Brush~
What made the Lakers' hearts tighten is that this three-pointer actually went in. 106-105, 11 seconds later, the Heat were still one point behind.
"Foul, go up and foul directly!"
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra shouted at the top of his lungs from the sidelines.
This is almost a common trick in professional basketball. In order to gain attack time, the defense will often send the offense directly to the free throw line.
Beep~ Since the number of fouls committed by the Miami team in this quarter has already reached 4 times, the first shot is a foul free throw.
The person who shoots free throws for the Lakers is "Old Fish" Fisher. Mike Brown still has this level. At critical moments, of course, an experienced veteran has to be more effective, so Barnes was removed and replaced by Fisher.
It just worked. Besides, Fisher's career free throw shooting percentage is over 80%. Compared to Barnes' 70%, the stability is undoubtedly much higher. Mike Brown can still do well with his formation.
Very decent.
Who is Derek Fisher? You can say that he is not fast, you can say that his defense is average, you can say that his offense is unsatisfactory, but with the key ability of "big heart", he is not inferior to any first-line star, and even many superstars and
Super giants, even those who are in front of him, would be willing to be defeated.
The 0.4-second masterpiece of that year was the epitome of Derek Fisher's career.
Five championships and countless fierce playoff battles are not given in vain, so the Heat players' attempts to put pressure on him have almost no effect.
Brush~
The first free throw was made.
Brush~
The second free throw was also hit.
108-105, the Lakers lead by three points with 9.4 seconds left in the game.
"Keep an eye on the 3-pointers and make sure they don't get an open chance for a 3-pointer!!!" Kobe stood next to Wade and commanded loudly.
LeBron James looked at the Lakers' defensive formation, and it was obvious that the main focus was on the three-point line. In this case, he would first take a 2-pointer, and then continue to foul.
James began to force a breakthrough. Ci Shiping followed closely, but unfortunately he still couldn't resist James. After breaking through to the Lakers' inside line, James forced a layup. Tang Qian wanted to rush over to block the shot, but failed.
Being blocked by James' deputy blocked his possibility of blocking the shot.
Snap~brush~
The basketball hit the board into the net, 108-107.
The Lakers served and Miami continued to foul. Fisher withstood the pressure and made 2 free throws again, 110-107. Still with a 3-point lead, Fisher returned to the defensive half.
This time, the time was only 4.1 seconds, leaving the Heat with not many options. Wade was not good at three-pointers from outside, and the rest of them were open turrets. LeBron James thought for a moment, and
I chose to do it myself.
After a short pause, the Heat continued to choose to serve the ball from the front court. James used a screen from Haslem to come out sideways and catch the ball for a jump shot. He dribbled the ball and pushed forward a few steps before taking off and making a pull-up. This is
A "foreplay" done in order to shorten the shooting distance and improve the shooting percentage.
Emergency stop, take off, take action!
Ci Shiping jumped up with all his strength and bounced along with the opponent.
Although there is almost no possibility of blocking the shot, as long as it can hinder James and reduce his shooting rate, Ci Shiping feels that this jump is worth it.
Can I put it in?
The entire Staples Center fell silent.
The basketball drew a high parabola and then fell towards the Lakers basket.
Duang~
The basketball hit the back edge of the basket and flew away with great force.
With only 0.1 seconds left, the Lakers served and the red light came on, ending Los Angeles' unbeaten history against Miami's "Big Three".
Among them, Kobe Bryant did his part and scored a game-high 38 points, of which 60.9% shooting rate was super high, which made his statistics tonight even more brilliant. In addition, Gasol's 20 points and 10 rebounds were also quite dazzling. Of course.
, Tang Qian's statistics were not bad either, with 6 points, 6 rebounds and 10 blocks, which made his name appear in the hearts of people across the United States for the first time.
PS: Here comes the big chapter, I hope everyone will continue to support Xiaozi~
By the way, Kobe Bryant really performed well for the Lakers that night. Not only did he score 30+ points, his shooting percentage was really over 60%~
Finally, I would like to thank Duanmu sadly, book friend 140228005839406, and AK12LMF for their monthly tickets. Thanks to you and me in the years, Xiao Wu, and Demon King 1982 for their rewards. Xiao Zi is here to thank you all~~~
