Chapter 914: An Incredible Victory!
James works hard!
Spoelstra worked hard!
The Heat team also worked very, very hard!
But no matter how hard they try, the anxious score difference becomes bigger and bigger. When they can't get any closer no matter how hard they try, that feeling is really a desperate feeling.
Two points!
Two points!
Still two points!
James!
Wade!
The two kept scoring.
No one can organize them, efficient shooting, super personal ability, James and Wade saw this terrible scoring state in the third and fourth quarters.
Many commentators and reporters on the sidelines, as well as professionals in front of the TV, were even stunned.
Even Jordan, who vowed never to watch this year's finals again after watching the first two games of the finals, was stunned by the strong performance of James and Wade.
Pi Er has said on TV programs more than once before that yes is living in the most difficult era in history.
In this era, yes always has to face the strongest opponents, and some opponents are even stronger than many people imagine.
For example, Pi Er once said that James' hard power is stronger than him.
The Heat's team strength, the Lakers' team strength, and even the Rockets and other teams last season's team strength were all superior to the Bulls back then.
The combined strength of James and Wade this season is, in theory, the strongest outside combination in history in terms of hard power, without even one of them.
In the past, he was somewhat disdainful of such a statement.
Let's not talk about the strength of the team. At the very least, he definitely does not admit that James's hard power is superior to his.
As for whether the combination of James and Wade is the strongest combination in history from the outside, Pi Er is shameless in order to attract attention, and he still needs his face.
But after the second half of this game started.
Jordan really felt that what Pi Er said before was not unreasonable.
Wade had a confrontation with Durant after the start of the third quarter.
James and yes battled in the second half of the third quarter.
And in the fourth quarter, James and Wade had a doubles match with Yes and Durant!
This game shocked Jordan so much.
James and Wade are in great, great shape!
If someone were to keep statistics on this game, they would be surprised to find that James and Wade's shooting percentages in the second half were incredibly high.
Just the performance of the two of them in the second half,
Jordan can be sure that even if he and Pippen go up, they will only get beaten!
It cannot be said that the defense faced by James and Wade was not strong enough.
Yes and Rondo are indeed much shorter and thinner than the two of them.
There is a gap between him and Pippen.
He and Pippen are definitely better at defending James and Wade, but the state of James and Wade in this game has nothing to do with the defensive effect.
Even if he and Pippen go up, there is no way to stop the magical state of Wade and James.
Now James and Wade have entered a state where they can ignore anyone's defense.
It can be said that James and Wade in this game are really going to kill each other!
But!
James and Wade are in such good shape on the offensive end. It can be said that James and Wade are killing each other. Now the Heat are trailing 134 to 150!
Such a powerful James and Wade, who have reached a historical level, this game was actually played in garbage time!
What kind of horrific situation is this? !
With half the time left in the fourth quarter, the Heat, led by James and Wade, trailed the SuperSonics by 16 points. It was not because James and Wade were not strong enough.
As I said just now, the strength of these two people in this game, according to Jordan's judgment, is the most powerful thing in the world!
But the other two players on the other side really can't be described as human beings!
yes!
Durant!
If James and Wade were to score two points in this game, it would be amazing.
So the feeling given to him by Yes and Durant is that these two people really scored three points in this game!
In the third quarter, James and Yes competed against each other. Regardless of whether James hit two points against Yes, Yes would definitely hit an extremely unreasonable three-pointer next, and the shooting rate was not inferior to James' two-point shooting rate. !
In the fourth quarter, the desperate Heat played James and Wade in an unparalleled singles game.
In just over 6 minutes of half a quarter, James and Wade scored 22 points in singles!
But what about the Seattle SuperSonics on the other side? !
The score in the first half of the fourth quarter was 26 points!
22 points in half a quarter on one side was terrifying and suffocating.
The other side actually scored 26 points in half a quarter!
The Sonics' score in the first half of the fourth quarter was 2 points more than the Heat's highest score of 24 points in the first quarter and a half of this game!
The pace of the game in the fourth quarter was so fast that it was incredible!
However, as long as we recall the incredible scenes that happened in the fourth quarter, Jordan can easily understand why the fourth quarter of this game is so fast-paced.
In order for the Heat to chase points, James and Wade are deliberately increasing the pace of the game.
Both have excellent ball-handling abilities.
The propulsion speed is also extremely strong.
As long as he gets the ball, he rushes upfield and attacks like a football player.
As a lagging team, it is not surprising that the Heat have such a choice.
The key is that the Sonics, as the leading side, did not suppress the pace of the game because of the Heat's acceleration.
yes is a person who puts even Duncan to shame in controlling the pace of the game.
It's very simple for him to just keep the rhythm.
But facing the Heat's fast pace.
How do yes and supersonic speed work?
James quickly came over and pulled him for two points, and he quickly ran over and pulled Wade for a three-pointer!
Wade quickly ran over to score a two-pointer for Rondo, and Durant quickly ran over to score James a three-pointer!
How incredible is yes and Durant's three-pointer?
Forget it if yes, he has the best three-point shooting ability in NBA history. He can directly pull out Wade in three steps from the three-point line!
Even Durant, in the fourth quarter, used the same method as yes, two or even three steps away from the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, how many times did he pull out James? !
In this game, the position three steps beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc and two to three steps beyond the left three-point line became an offensive black hole for Yes and Durant!
As long as you take a shot from this position, no matter how difficult it is, the basketball will be sucked into the basket like a black hole!
"Incredible!"
“Incredible!!”
“Incredible!!!”
Jordan lamented three times in a row that it was incredible!
"This game will be a game that changes the basketball world!"
James and Wade have taken the two-point shot to the extreme!
In the previous values of the NBA, those who can win the middle distance win the world.
According to the NBA's previous values, it is impossible for James and Wade to lose in this game.
But now, James and Wade are on the road to losing!
And the reason for losing was that he was the middle-distance player who could conquer the world!
Because compared with three-pointers, the mid-range is just one point less!
Even if the final mid-range shooting percentage of Wade and James is a little higher than the three-point shooting percentage of Yes and Durant, they are still the defeated side!
In this game, Jordan is definitely not the only person who has had a huge impact on basketball. Jerry West was on the scene, Popovich and Phil Jackson were in front of the TV, and many, many others saw it.
Not to mention these spectators, even the teams on both sides of the field actually noticed it.
The game between the Heat and SuperSonics entered the final three minutes.
Heat coach Spoelstra desperately used up the last timeout of the game.
"Three points!"
When calling this final timeout, Spoelstra's heart was filled with anguish and helplessness.
James, Wade and his Heat have performed well enough.
If the loss in this game was due to James' undercover, he and his team would not be so desperate.
The key is that his team has performed the best, and he can't imagine anything better, but in the end, this is still the result!
It was crushed!
The mentality of James, Wade and the Heat players has not been broken. They can still fight and still want to fight.
However, the score collapsed!
The strength shown by James and Wade in this game was actually defeated by the Yes SuperSonics!
I was not wrong, but I lost like this!
Three points for all the reasons!
Even reasons that cannot be solved.
Just the response shots given after James made the shot in this game.
How will he and the Heat defend?
yes took the shot three steps beyond the three-point line!
There were even times when Spoelstra was thinking that James was not defeated by yes's two-point or three-point answer ball. It was really because James' heart was strong enough.
I kept getting hit back by yes with such incredible answers.
Durant kept beating him up with the same incredible three-pointers as Yes.
Most people really can no longer hold on.
Even the Heat fans on the sidelines could clearly feel that many Heat fans on the sidelines were already desperate when Durant hit another ultra-long three-pointer near the center circle just now when he faced James. Head, the color of the entire arena seemed to have completely changed from color to black and white.
Not only the Heat fans on the sidelines, but also some Heat players on the court who didn't have that outstanding mental quality, were holding their heads in despair when Durant hit the ball just now or when Yes hit the ball before.
There are three minutes left in the game, and the score on the court is 142 to 160.
In three minutes, the Miami Heat wanted to get back 18 points, which was impossible.
Even if the Seattle SuperSonics don't score a single point in the next game, it's impossible for the Heat to score 18 points in three minutes.
18 points, even if it is a three-pointer, it will take 6 rounds. Even if one round is 24 seconds, it will take 150 seconds, which is close to three minutes.
What's more, the Heat are not a three-point shooting team.
Neither James nor Wade's three-pointers asked that much.
Both are used to solving problems with two-pointers.
It takes 9 rounds to score 18 points on a two-pointer. Unless the SuperSonics continue to make mistakes, the Heat cannot have 9 rounds in three minutes.
"The Seattle SuperSonics have already won this game!"
When the Heat paused, the reporters and commentators on the sidelines already knew the answer to this game.
No matter what Spoelstra does, it is impossible to make a comeback in this game.
As for how Spoelstra did it, they didn't know, but it certainly didn't work.
"The next three minutes will be the Heat's final struggle!"
The timeout ended and the game resumed, and the world saw how Spoelstra and the Heat struggled.
After the game restarted, the Heat began to implement shark-cutting tactics against Rondo.
There are 3 minutes left in the game, which means that the Heat still have 1 minute to use Rondo's shark-cutting tactics.
Rondo's free throw shooting percentage is around 60% all year round. This is a player who can be hacked.
There is nothing wrong with killing Rondo.
The key is to kill Rondo, the Heat's choice after Rondo's free throw.
When Rondo made 1 of 2 free throws and James drove over to complete the layup, the spectators on the sidelines and the reporters on the scene were all stunned!
"If I read it correctly, the SuperSonics have stopped guarding against James' two-point breakthrough, right?"
Buckley winked in amusement.
Kenny Smith's face was a little dumbfounded.
"Rondo made 1 of 2 free throws, and he can also chase points with a layup!"
After Kenny Smith reacted, he forcefully explained.
This explanation made Barkley laugh. He made 1 of 2 free throws and a layup to chase 1 point. Now the two teams are 17 points apart. Does James have the time to empty the blue 17 times?
And it’s just 1 minute of shark killing time, 17 empty blues in 1 minute, is this the Flash?
The Heat have a Flash, but it's not James.
and……
There was no need for Barkley to refute, but soon the scene of the game slapped Barkley in the face.
Next, Rondo made two free throws, and James also chose a layup.
The shark-cutting tactic is a life-threatening tactic, and is best used in conjunction with three-pointers.
Anyone with common sense about basketball games knows this.
Especially when the score difference is so big.
Barkley knows it, James knows it, Spoelstra knows it.
but!
Neither James nor Wade can throw a three-pointer.
The Heat are worried about throwing it to others.
In the end, James could only choose this sky blue.
I thought many people thought the Heat would struggle in the last three minutes.
But in the end, they discovered that the Heat didn't even have a chance to make a final struggle.
170 to 154!
Until the last moment of the game, the Heat had no chance to catch up with the score and create a sense of urgency for the SuperSonics.
Look at the dazzling score on the live scoreboard.
The Heat fans at the scene were speechless for a moment.
It was rare for them to persist until the end in this game.
However, they witnessed such a great defeat on their home court.
The game was great, but they were the losers.
"0 to 3..."
When the game whistle blew, James and Wade could not recover.
Not only them, many Heat players have not recovered.
Grant Hill, O'Neal...
The reason why they come to the Heat is to win the championship.
But now this big score...
Grant Hill was heartbroken.
Little O'Neal was even more heartbroken.
He gave up tens of millions of annual salary to join the team!
It's just that this is the Heat's situation, and the Seattle SuperSonics side...
"Congratulations yes, congratulations to the SuperSonics, they won the most important and most incredible victory!"
"The goddess of victory is waving to them, and ahead is Athens!"
