Legendary basketball manager

McGrady was unmoved and was not affected by James' words at all.

When there were only 7 seconds left on the timer, the t-mac moved!

At such a critical moment, McGrady's actions became more concise than ever.

He didn't even do a crotch dribble, just a simple early change of direction.

The range of this change of direction is not large, unlike Iverson's open and closed crossover!

The strange thing is that such a "plain and unpretentious" change of direction actually swayed James, who was defending for a while, to the other side!

This scene also gave Shen Fei in the stands a feeling of deja vu.

Once upon a time, McGrady used a similar early change of direction to shake the peak Kobe out of the way.

You know, Kobe at that time had both offense and defense, and his "mad dog" defense made countless stars suffer.

But even if Kobe is very serious about defending, McGrady can use some extremely freehand moves from time to time to fool him!

And now, the opponent has been replaced by James, and McGrady has done the same!

After completing the pass, McGrady lowered his center of gravity and went straight to the Heat penalty area.

At this time, the person standing inside is none other than Warcraft Howard!

Howard and McGrady actually have some origins.

Before World of Warcraft, McGrady was a veritable superstar in Orlando.

The duel between the two can be called the meeting between the old and new generations of "Kings of Magic"!

Facing the league's shot-blocking leader and three-time best defensive player, McGrady has no fear, took three steps, and took off against Howard!

Howard put his feet on the ground and jumped high.

At the same time, James also struggled to catch up, and jumped up when McGrady took off...

For a moment, the three of them were like sandwiches, and Maddie was the one caught in the middle!

Just imagine, Howard is standing in front of him, and James is chasing after him...

99% of the players in the league encounter such a situation, I am afraid there is nothing they can do.

But McGrady successfully broke the game with a wild move under such a difficult situation!

After jumping up, he stuck to Howard, made a 360° turn, and turned directly behind Warcraft!

In this way, McGrady not only avoided Howard's block, but also let the latter affect James' pursuit.

Poor old Zhan, he wanted to use "the.block" to help the team save the hope of victory, but he collided with his teammates halfway.

With such a collision, the two naturally lost the possibility of interfering with McGrady's shot.

After t-mac finished the air waltz, with a flick of his wrist, the ball flew towards the backboard with a strong spin, and after touching the backboard, it fell into the net at a wonderful angle!

107: 101!

The Rockets extended their lead to 56 points with 6 seconds left in the game!

The scene was suddenly silent.

Many Heat fans opened their mouths wide, but they haven't closed them yet.

This ball is outrageous!

In such a critical round, Tracy McGrady actually used the fancy move of "360° turn and layup" to end it!

In Zhang Weiping's words: "McGrady is such a brave man! If he doesn't score this goal, he will suffer a lot of criticism, such as not being responsible enough, treating the finals as a trifle...but he can score! It is worthy of being The player who is called the 'Basketball Poet' by Chinese fans!"

............

This round not only confused the fans and commentators, but even the Heat players on the court were a little confused...

Because, after the collision in the air, James and Howard seemed to be a little injured, and they hadn't stood up from the ground yet!

Wade was the first to react, and called the other two teammates to help them up.

The two of Zhan Huo collided hard.

Fortunately, both of them were made of steel with copper skin and iron bones. After shaking their heads, they rejoined the game.

Before his teammate made a free throw, James took a special look at the coach's dugout.

Spobby made a gesture, indicating that the attack was not called for a timeout.

James nodded, and said to Howard who just took the basketball from the referee: "Pass close to the ground, save time."

After Howard understood, he put the ball on the ground, pushed forward slightly, and the ball slowly rolled to the frontcourt.

The advantage of this is that as long as James does not catch the ball, the timer will not run.

In this way, the time to dribble the ball across half court can be saved.

The Rockets are certainly not willing to let the Heat save time.

McGrady immediately ran to James.

The start speed of the t-mac was extremely fast, and Lao Zhan was so scared that he quickly picked up the ball from the ground.

The timer starts and the time begins to tick by second by second!

James quickly advanced with the ball and went straight to the Rockets penalty area.

His intention is very obvious, he just wants to get two points quickly and stop the clock!

But the Rockets players did not let him do so.

McGrady followed James closely all the way, and Yi Jianlian also came to the penalty area to help defend, standing on James' route ahead of time.

In the blink of an eye, James made the wisest choice.

He jumped high and passed the ball to the open Haslem.

Harbin caught the ball in his best mid-range position and was unguarded all around.

There is no doubt that this is a great opportunity.

Haslem didn't hesitate and shot decisively...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out!

Seeing this, Howard immediately wanted to grab an offensive rebound.

But as soon as it started, Yao Ming turned sideways, completely blocking his way.

And Dayao's thick thighs like tree trunks made Howard helpless, he could only watch the rebound being picked up by George.

At this time, there are only 46 seconds left before the end of the game.

George calmly passed the ball to Curry.

In this way, whether the Heat are preparing for normal defense or using foul tactics, Curry's dribbling and free throw abilities can better help the team stabilize the situation!

Wade rushed to Curry immediately, trying to use high-pressure defense to form a steal.

But Curry was very composed, and he used a beautiful crotch dribble and a reverse dribble to pass Wade.

The Flash had no choice but to stop Curry with a tactical foul.

In this section of the game, the Rockets have already entered the bonus time.

Curry half-shot his braces and walked to the free throw line with a smile on his face.

Behind him, Yao Ming and McGrady happily clapped hands in celebration.

43 seconds, 6 points gap...

As long as Curry can make one of two free throws, the Heat will need at least 3 rounds to catch up with the score.

It can be said that the Rockets already have the chance to win!

"Shh!!!!"

Desperate Heat fans began to boo deafeningly.

The boos were so loud that the roof of the arena was about to be toppled.

Curry took the referee's pass, put the ball on his waist, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

Then, with just a dribble, he shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

108: 101!

As soon as the goal was scored, the Heat's "death sentence" was basically pronounced.

In the stands, Shen Fei smiled and clenched his fists.

Amidst the boos all over the sky, he let go of Ajiali's hand, and then pointed to his cheek with his right index finger.

Ajiali froze for a moment, then blushed.

But the next moment, when Curry made the second free throw, she still gave Shen Fei a sweet kiss.

......

"Shu~"

Curry hit the second free throw again!

109:101, the point difference came to 8 points.

At this time, Sipo called for the last timeout of the field.

After the timeout, Ray Allen finally found a good opportunity outside the three-point line through a series of running positions.

He went up and down with a knife in his hand, and used a three-pointer to keep the Heat a glimmer of hope!

109:104, 30 seconds left!

At this moment, the Heat can only resort to foul tactics.

Of course, what the Heat players are desperate for is that the five players on the Rockets field - Curry, Tracy McGrady, George, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming - are all very sure of free throws.

Eventually, they sent George to the free throw line.

As the most aggrieved player among the Rockets' starting five in this series, Pickled Pepper naturally wants to end the game to relieve his anger!

He withstood the pressure and made two free throws to rewrite the score to 111:104.

This time, the game completely lost its suspense.

With James missing a three-pointer, Yi Jianlian received the rebound, and the game was concluded!

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Heat 113:104 in the away game and won the third game of the finals.

The total score of the two teams came to 3:0, and the Rockets held 4 match points!

After the game, the Heat players hurriedly left from the player channel for the first time.

The Rockets hugged each other on the field and celebrated for a long time.

............

In the stands, Shen Fei held Ajiali's hand and was about to leave the arena.

At this moment, several fans wearing Heat jerseys in the seats next to them walked towards them aggressively.

Shen Fei quickly discovered that this group of people was not friendly, and immediately pulled Ajiali behind him.
