Chapter 1,086 Seattle’s Forever Hero!
The game lasted less than three minutes, and the two teams each attacked for six rounds. Before the game started, Spoelstra, who believed that the Heat could not lose this game, requested a timeout.
There is no way, Ye Si's three consecutive assists, Durant's three consecutive three-pointers against James are really terrifying.
Each one is more magical than the other.
Whether it was to interrupt Durant's touch or to let the Heat players recover a little, Spoelstra had to request a timeout.
And when the Heat players on the court returned to their bench from the court, the eyes of all the players looked like they had seen a ghost.
Facing James' three consecutive hits!
And each hit is harder than the last!
That kind of shock really cannot be explained by the description of three three-pointers and nine points in total.
Just now on the court, when that incredible hit appeared, they really felt the same aura of despair as the Heat players on the sidelines.
Therefore, seeing the players in front of the bench still looking shocked, Spoelstra secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The timeout was called in time. If the timeout had not been called, the Heat would not have been able to play. There's going to be a collapse on the court!
Of course, as James, who is considered the strongest small forward on both offense and defense in the NBA, such a scene on the court shocked more than just the Heat players.
"Is Yes's passing too evil or Durant's strength too evil?"
Kobe looked stunned in the stands.
To be honest, James has always been his sufferer.
Every time he meets James, it's hard to beat him. James's physical fitness is too good, the strength inside, the height of the forward, the speed outside, plus the defensive skills he has developed in the past few years. Except for Yes, the entire league is awesome. No defender can beat him easily.
James' current defense is definitely at the top level in NBA history, and it is even the limit of the strongest defense an NBA player can imagine.
After all, Yes's height is still too disadvantageous, so in Kobe's view, it is easier for him to play Yes than James. James' defense is also more perfect than Yes's defense. Although the magical thing is Yes's defensive experience and defensive awareness Far better than James, Yes is obviously younger than James and entered the league later than James.
But if he really had to choose the player with the strongest defense between Yes and James, he would definitely choose James.
It is such an NBA defensive GOAT level player that he can be beaten so easily by his little fan Durant!
Of course he likes Durant very much. His fans not only like him, but also prefer him. But likes belong to likes and strength belongs to strength.
Has Durant's offensive strength reached this level?
To be honest, let alone those neutral viewers, even people like him who admire and like Durant find it incredible.
So much so that we have to wonder if it is the bonus brought by Yes' passing.
You know, after the game started, Yes's passing was severely choked by the Heat.
Every pass of Yes is not as easy as he usually is. It can be said that every pass of Yes is not as easy as usual.
But even so, Yes's restricted passing can still turn Durant into a player who can penetrate the defensive GOAT!
This is so frustrating!
Listen to the discussions among the NBA players around you. All of these guys are now shocked and envious of Durant.
Ye's three consecutive assists and Durant's three consecutive three-pointers instantly eased the Sonics' seemingly collapsed situation on the court.
After forcing the Heat to request the first timeout of the game, the expressions on the faces of the players in front of the SuperSonics bench became much more relaxed.
Even Rondo and Milicic, who had been played crazily by Wade before, breathed a sigh of relief.
The problems the Heat brought to them have not been solved.
They can't solve the problems the Heat have given them.
But they also have problems that the Heat can't solve!
That's Yes!
Even if the defense is so strict, Yes can still allow the Seattle SuperSonics to open up the situation!
12 to 11!
They were still 6 points behind before, but now only 1 point is left. You know, the Heat still haven't missed a shot before!
In this case, Yes still led the SuperSonics to catch up with the score and reverse the previously precarious situation.
"Yes, so far, haven't scored a single point, but the 11 points scored by the Sonics were all assisted by Yes!"
"He performed the most perfect and gorgeous dance on this palm-sized stage woven by the Heat!"
Even Kenny Smith had to admit after the shock that the current scene surprised and incredible him.
"Guys, your performance tonight is very good. Don't care about your opponents. Guys, I believe in your strength. As long as we do our best, no matter how hard our opponents struggle, we will not be able to defeat us. Guys, do your best." You, don’t panic!”
On the Heat's bench, Spoelstra was constantly massaging the hearts of the Heat players. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the previous performance of his team and players on the court.
There is no problem. All the first six attacks were hit. The defense lost these points. Except for Milicic's two points, the remaining nine points were all divine points. Spoelstra absolutely did not believe that Durant could do it. Another magical finals like last year's finals!
Three minutes of magic, one game of magic, the Heat can withstand it now!
As long as the Heat are not in chaos, as long as the Heat are not collapsing and show their hard power, there is no way the Heat will lose!
"Guys, I'm very satisfied with your performance in this game. Go up and continue your performance!"
Spoelstra's timeout was to adjust the emotions of the Heat players.
On the SuperSonics side, Nelson is arranging more targeted tactics and methods.
There is no way, although Durant's nine points are shocking, the Sonics are still on the weak side.
The weaker side must constantly change themselves to cope with the pressure of the stronger side. Previously, Rondo failed to defend Wade and Durant defended James.
There is nothing Durant can do. As long as Durant can make up for it offensively, it doesn't really matter.
But on Rondo's side...
In the eyes of many people, Rondo can't score points on offense and loses points on defense. He is no longer needed in the organization. The only thing he can do on the court is defense. But if the defense is like this, it is a burden.
It would be better to use Tucker, Danny Green or James Harden to defend Wade.
In fact, not only many viewers have this idea, but even members of the Sonics team
It's all about this idea.
Especially now after the Rondo incident broke out.
Rondo's role on the court is definitely negative now.
But there is no way, Ye Si supports it. If Ye Si is on the court, Rondo must stay on the court. This is what Ye Si clearly said to Nelson.
Otherwise, Nelson would have replaced Rondo with James Harden.
Because against the Heat, what these people are thinking is right. When Rondo is on the court, he can't guard Wade, he doesn't have the organization, and he can't attack. With James Harden in, the defense is tougher than Rondo. If he can't guard Wade, he can at least prevent him from breaking through. Defending Wade's shooting, the organization can also be Yes' backup like Rondo, and the offense is more reliable than Rondo, surrounding Rondo in all aspects.
But Rondo is Yes' designated teammate. Even if everyone in the SuperSonics thinks Rondo should give way to James Harden in the Finals, as long as Yes thinks Rondo is still the starter, then Rondo will still be the starter.
No matter how much Nelson wants to replace Rondo, he still needs to do more services to keep Rondo on the court.
"Rajan, you don't have to defend Wade comprehensively in this game. You can let Wade go in the mid-range, but you must stop his breakthrough!"
There is no problem with Nelson's defensive arrangement for Wade. Milicic can't help defend Wade now, and Millsap is being kited to death by Chris Bosh. If he can't choke Wade's breakthrough, that's it. Really fatal.
Rather than letting Wade break through, it is better to let Wade shoot from mid-range. Although this is also a cup of poison, the potency is much smaller.
There is no problem with Nelson's arrangement.
But……
Ye Si looked towards the Heat bench not far away.
Wade's touch in this game...
However, he didn't want to change anything because he didn't know whether it was better to let Wade break through or let Wade mid-range.
For the current Sonics, Wade is indeed a point that cannot be solved.
After the timeout, except for the fact that the audience was still so excited, the expressions on the faces of both the Heat players and the SuperSonics players returned to calm.
No matter what the scenes and situations were like in the previous games.
Now the game has only lasted less than three minutes, which is just the beginning.
It's just that the Heat and SuperSonics fought too fiercely from the beginning. The two teams didn't even test the game and went straight to the fight. It made people feel that the two teams were fighting for the decisive victory from the beginning, so they seemed particularly nervous. The excitement and excitement also made the players' emotions fluctuate too much.
After returning from the timeout, the Heat sent a baseline kick. James, who had just been stunned by Durant in that way, did not attack. It was not that he didn't want to, James wanted to, but Wade did not give him the ball.
It can be seen that in the current Heat, Wade is not as coddled as before. Wade thinks that James should play before giving the ball to James. In Wade's view, James is not suitable to beat Durant for revenge now. .
So no matter what James asked, no matter how hard he tried to get Durant behind him, Wade didn't care. Instead, he continued to pick and roll with Ray Allen and drove his powerful body towards Rondo.
Of course Wade saw that Rondo's defense was trying to let him shoot and choke his breakthrough. However, Wade did not shoot directly as Rondo wanted. Instead, he forcibly leaned on Rondo's back and turned around to break through Rondo. Facing Milicic, the throw was successful.
The back-turn breakthrough was not that fast, giving Milicic a chance to help defend, but Wade still hit the ball.
"Wade is so calm!"
"The Heat need to score to stabilize the situation now, not to get angry and compete for victory. The most important thing at this time is to score, and Wade scored!"
After Wade's signature throw hit, the score changed again, 14 to 11!
The Heat look a little safer again and the situation is stable.
Looking at Wade, who still seemed to have a strong black aura about him, Ye Si's eyes were really full of admiration.
He can be so calm in such anger. Sure enough, Wade who abandons his personal feelings is the strongest Wade!
Even James, who was asking for the ball to hit Durant, suppressed the anger he had just felt.
Wade did not fight with Rondo. Rondo asked him to shoot and he shot. Instead, he chose the safest way to get the key score this time.
If Wade had passed the ball to him just now, with his mentality at the time, he might have deliberately pulled it out in front of Durant. Even if his shooting is already very good now, with Durant's height...
James finally withdrew his gaze silently and turned back to his defense.
"Dwyane's golf IQ is too high..."
After Wade used his strength and stability to stabilize the Heat's situation, looking back, the SuperSonics' offense finally ran into problems.
Durant, who just shot James three times in a row, finally missed this time.
Seeing the basketball thrown by Durant against James again, Ye Si's eyebrows also wrinkled.
Durant was 3 of 5 before. This time Durant's feel is not sure whether it is because the situation has eased or the score has narrowed, so the feel has also dropped a bit, but it is still good.
It should be said that the chance of scoring this goal is greater than the chance of not scoring, but this time, it was still missed.
Looking back, this time, under the signal of Nelson on the sidelines, the Seattle SuperSonics finally double-teamed Wade for the first time!
After the regular pick-and-roll between Wade and Ray Allen, Yes once again failed to steal Ray Allen. However, this time, Yes did not leave with Ray Allen, but double-teamed Wade with Rondo.
This was Nelson's tentative instruction from the sidelines. Faced with the double-teaming of Yes and Rondo, Wade didn't show any panic on his face. He jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand to the man who was already three feet away from the right side. Ray Allen at the breakout line.
Although Durant had released James in time to cover up the defense, Ray Allen still hit the three-pointer that was almost open to him.
After hitting the three-pointer, Ray Allen did not celebrate in the kingdom that once belonged to him.
The originally excited SuperSonics fans on the sidelines did not boo, but fell silent again. After a moment, the sparse applause finally became uniform.
Listening to the applause from the scene, Ray Allen's originally calm face changed. He clenched his hands tightly into fists, but in the end, he loosened them again...
"To Sonics fans, Ray Allen is their eternal hero!"
"Yes brought them greatness, and Ray Allen brought them Yes!"
When the Key Arena burst into applause for Ray Allen, Ray Allen became the focus of the entire world.
Ye Si's eyes are also on Ray Allen.
But others are different. What he sees is Ray Allen's touch.
When Ray Allen hit the three-pointer just now, his touch was 50. The touch was not high, but it was extremely crisp.
This is why he didn't dare to hand over Ray Allen to anyone else even if he could see that Ray Allen's touch was not as good as that.
"17 to 11!"
"This is the Miami Heat's first three-pointer of the game!"
"The Miami Heat have pulled the score to five points on the court again!"
After Ray Allen hit his first three-pointer of the game, Kenny Smith regained his energy on the sidelines.
Spoelstra on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the significance of Ray Allen coming to the Heat!
Not only can it contain Yes's help defense, but it can also bring stable three-pointers to the Heat. More importantly, Ray Allen and James Wade are so suitable!
How could the passing of Wade and James and the defensive appeal of Wade and James be comparable to the current Garnett and Pierce!
Ray Allen didn't succeed with Pierce and Garnett. That's not Ray Allen's problem. That's Garnett and Pierce's own problem. That's the Celtics' problem. That's Doc Rivers' problem. !
A player who shot an appalling 58% of his three-pointers in the playoffs. He actually left it alone. He didn’t make tactics around him in a game and only regarded him as a shooter. Such a player was not used, Doug. Rivers himself is pretending to be something else, pretending to be crazy!
Ray Allen's experience with the Celtics really makes Spoelstra feel distressed. If you don't know how to use it, just don't waste it. Give it to me!
Spoelstra feels that he may not be as strong as Doc Reeves, but he will not pretend to be stupid just to pretend to be 13. Ray Allen is a nuclear weapon for any team!
His Heat tactical offensive tactics were born around Ray Allen.
With the assistance of Ray Allen, James and Wade can truly be considered invincible in singles and can truly unleash their full strength!
If there had been Ray Allen last season, the Heat would never have lost to the SuperSonics in the finals!
Spoelstra was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Many NBA players and professionals on the sidelines are now amazed.
"Ray Allen's tactical role in the Heat is too strong!"
"With Ray Allen, the Heat really have no solution now. In the first eight shots in this game, they made 8 of 8, and they never missed a shot!"
"Not only did they never miss a shot, the Sonics couldn't even react defensively!"
"The SuperSonics' defense isn't that bad. With the Heat like this, there's no team that can beat them in the entire history of the NBA, right?"
The Heat's offense is really shocking now. They hit all the first eight offenses. This is in the finals. It feels like a myth!
"What's even more frightening is that it's not eight hits, but eight consecutive hits from the Heat, and none of them are magic balls!"
After Nash finished speaking, Kobe and the Lakers players next to him had serious expressions on their faces.
Now that Durant's magic is gone, and the Heat are so unsolvable, the SuperSonics are really going to collapse!
"Who can win such a team?!"
Stuart was desperate for the Sonics.
In fact, it's not just Stoudemire, many people are desperate for the Sonics at this time.
Just when these people are desperate.
On the court, that familiar sound of brushing.
It rang again...
"How can this be?!"
