Legendary basketball manager

I saw James dribbling the ball unhurriedly, approaching Ben Wallace step by step.

Big Ben is ready to fight, and his attention is highly concentrated.

But the difference in speed between the two is still obvious. James saw the timing, accelerated and broke through Daben's defense from the right again.

Ben Wallace felt a little helpless.

Defense is his trump card. In the past, even when he met O'Neal at his peak, he had the power to fight.

But when it comes to James, Big Ben seems to have nothing to do.

In fact, the 1.0 version of the Cavaliers Zhan once penetrated the Pistons' defense by himself.

You must know that the "bad boy army" known for its iron and blood back then was ranked first in history in terms of defensive capabilities.

But James' talent and impact have a natural restraint on them.

When Ben Wallace met James, he felt powerless!

But it is impossible for Big Ben to just put James in the penalty area for a layup.

In the blink of an eye, he slapped James behind him...

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Big Ben slapped down and didn't hit the ball at all, it hit James' forearm all the way.

James suddenly showed a painful expression, and the numbness from his hands made him gnash his teeth.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and the Rockets made a defensive foul.

Since James has already taken three steps, he can go directly to the free throw line.

It is also worth mentioning that this is the Rockets' fourth foul in the third quarter.

This means that if they foul again next time, regardless of whether the foul object shoots or not, the opponent will be sent to the free throw line.

And this is also an important reason why Daben committed such a foul this time-the hacking "Huo" tactic that has not been used for a long time can be reproduced in the world again!

Therefore, when James walked to the free throw line, Big Ben not only did not show any frustration, but showed a subtle smile.

Soon, James made one of two free throws, rewriting the score to 85:83.

The Rockets attacked and McGrady advanced with the ball.

At the top of the arc, he used Tucker's screen to successfully get rid of Wade's defense, and then dribbled a jump shot near the free throw line...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

87: 83!

Howard serves from the baseline.

After passing the ball to James, Warcraft rushed to the Rockets halftime non-stop.

But before he ran out of his own three-point line, Tucker stepped forward and gave Howard a bear hug...

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded again.

Howard was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the nightmare he had experienced in the past few times had come again...

And it came at a critical moment when the two sides were fighting hard!

"shit..."

Howard cursed secretly, and walked to the free throw line helplessly.

On the sidelines, Heat coach Spoelstra frowned, as if caught in a dilemma.

The current situation on the court is still favorable for the Heat.

Although the score is still behind, the two generals of the Rockets raised their exemption cards, and the Heat have every chance to complete the overtake in the last 3 minutes.

But such a situation is based on the premise that the Big Three are all on the field.

If Howard is replaced immediately in order to avoid being "cut", it is unknown whether the Heat can control the game situation!

But if Howard continues to stay on the court, the Heat's offense will be useless for the rest of the third quarter...

While Spoelstra was still thinking, Howard sounded the alarm for Spoelstra by missing two free throws.

At this moment, Si Bo suddenly had an idea.

The Rockets have already fouled 4 times in this quarter, and the Heat are also in bonus time!

And among the players that the Rockets have played so far, there is also a rough guy with inaccurate shots-Ben Wallace!

At this point, Spoelstra put his hands in front of his mouth like a trumpet, and shouted at the Heat players on the field: "Send Ben to the free throw line!"

The captain, Haslem, reacted the fastest, and immediately ran to the big itself, and gave the latter a gentle bear hug.

And this move also caused a discussion between the two CCTV commentators.

"Spoelstra's on-the-spot reaction is fast enough! Big Ben's free throw level is really not flattering. As of now, Ben Wallace's career free throw percentage is around [-]%."

"Compared to him, Howard's [-]% shooting rate is considered high!"

Yu Jia commented in a timely manner.

"That's true. The Heat's move is a bit of a countermeasure, and it means returning to the other...Now it depends on how the Rockets respond. Do they still want to keep Da Ben on the court?"

Yang Yi said with a smile.

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

Look back on the field.

Daben's one-pass operation (free throw preparation) was as fierce as a tiger, but he missed both free throws, which directly wasted an offensive round for the Rockets.

Howard grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to James.

But after delivering the ball, Warcraft did not move towards the Rockets half court, but stayed in place.

Howard smiled bitterly when Ben's big hand fell on him, and then stood at the free throw line again.

first penalty...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out.

At this time, the Rockets made a substitution adjustment-Ben Wallace went off and Griffin played.

This substitution adjustment really exceeded everyone's expectations.

The young power forward almost fell out of the rotation in the previous few games, but at such a critical moment, he was once again favored by the coach.

After Griffin came on the court, he first walked up to Tucker and whispered in his ear: "The coach said that you should go to the fifth position, and I will play power forward."

Tucker nodded when he heard the words, without any objection.

In fact, in the Rockets' team training games, Tucker has been pushed to the fifth position many times, acting as the center of the small lineup.

This arrangement aroused the confusion of many Rockets players at first.

After all, Tucker isn't even as tall as Ben (less than two meters).

But after Mark Jackson said that this was Shen Fei's suggestion, the Rockets generals readily accepted this strange arrangement.

The results show that Tucker's effect as a center seems to be pretty good.

In some moments, there are even unexpected effects!

And now, in the fourth game of the finals, when the scores of the two sides were criss-crossed, Tucker was pushed to the center position again!

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

Subsequently, Howard continued the second free throw.

This time, after a few taps on the rim, the ball was lucky enough to land in the net.

At 87:85, the point difference returned to two points again.

Rocket serves.

Since Big Ben was off the court, the Heat had no foul targets, and the Rockets were able to attack normally.

McGrady held the ball through half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

At this time, Griffin, who had just entered the field, got to a deep position in the low post and opened his hands for the ball.

Without hesitation, t-mac passed the ball with a flick of his wrist.

Griffin made a turn around while catching the ball.

His turns are unmatched in speed, speed and power.

Haslem, who defended him, has been on the court for a long time, and his physical decline has caused him to lose his concentration.

With such a turn, Griffin left Haslem behind.

Seeing this, Howard quickly moved laterally, preparing to defend.

But before he reached the defensive position, Griffin flew into the air with a swish...

"bang!"

89: 85.

Griffin used a powerful one-handed dunk to tell the world why the coach sent him to play at a critical moment!

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

In the VIP box on the stands, Ajiali said puzzledly: "Hey, Howard doesn't feel like he's reacting this time... It's not like his defensive level."

Shen Fei smiled slightly and explained; "Have you noticed Griffin's jumping point just now?"

Ajiali showed a puzzled expression, obviously not paying attention to this detail.

"After he turned around, he was actually quite far from the basket, probably a step inward from the free throw line."

"Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for an inside player to suddenly pull up a dunk in that position, because it requires a very strong explosive force."

"Howard probably didn't expect that Griffin would jump and dunk from that position, so he didn't react."

Shen Fei patiently explained.

Ajiali suddenly realized: "When you say that, I think of another player - Stoudemire, who often dunks like this. It seems that this kind of dunk is really difficult to defend..."

Shen Fei nodded, and said lightly; "But this dunking method is based on physical talent."

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

While the two were talking, Howard was sent to the free throw line again.

But this time, his luck was not so good, and he missed both free throws.

Tucker protected the rebound and handed the ball to McGrady.

t-mac advanced with the ball at high speed. While he was on the move, he slammed east and west, and a no-look-pass passed the ball to Danny Green who followed up on the right.

This can scare the Heat players.

Since the series, apart from Curry, the Rockets' most accurate three-pointer is Danny Green.

James rushed over with a stride, but was swayed by Green's shot fake.

Fortunately, Haslem completed the defensive relay and successfully rushed to Green without giving the latter an easy shot.

But at the same time, Griffin made a high-speed cut from the middle and went straight to the heart of the Heat.

Green immediately passed the ball.

Griffin took three steps after receiving the ball, soaring into the air...

This time, Howard was fully prepared, kicked his feet hard, and took off with all his strength to block the shot.

However, Griffin suddenly received his stomach in the air and passed the ball to the left corner.

There, Tucker had been waiting for a long time.

After catching the ball, the shoe king shot an arrow and made a three-pointer...

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

91:85, the Rockets extended their advantage to 6 points.

I have to say that Griffin has become a surprise soldier of the Rockets during this period of time!

After playing, his one dunk and one assist helped the team successfully stabilize the situation!

If you turn the camera to the Rockets coaching bench now, you can still see Mark Jackson's slightly smug smile.

Obviously, the young coach of the Rockets is very satisfied with his substitution this time!

Some are happy, some are worried.

After Spoelstra made a three-pointer from Tucker, he still couldn't help calling a timeout.

He didn't want to call a timeout at this time, after all, there is only one minute left before the end of the third quarter.

But the Rockets will obviously continue to take foul tactics against Howard. If a timeout is not called to replace Warcraft, it is not surprising that the Rockets will expand the point difference to two in the last minute!

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

"Dwight, you have done a good job. The problem of free throws cannot be solved overnight. I know you have been practicing more free throws recently."

During the dinner, Spoel saw Howard in a depressed mood, and reached out to pat him on the back, comforting him.

"Coach, you don't have to take my feelings into consideration. Winning is the primary goal of everything, and nothing else is important."

Howard raised his head and said seriously.

Sipo stopped talking and began to arrange tactics.

After the timeout ended, Howard was also replaced by Chalmers, and the Heat also put on a small lineup.

The game restarted, and the Heat attacked.

James dribbled the ball to meet Green's defense after halftime.

Lao Zhan had a clear purpose and immediately raised his hand to signal Haslem to step forward to cover.

Subsequently, the Harbin team brought Griffin to a high position together.

After the pick-and-roll, James replaced the defender with Griffin.

This is one of the tactics Spoelstra deployed during the timeout.

Griffin has outstanding physical fitness, but lacks experience in the playoffs, which is not the same as the seasoned James.

LeBron dribbled slowly and approached, then suddenly started, and successfully tricked Griffin with a swaying left and right.

Subsequently, James lowered his center of gravity, accelerated to complete the pass, and accelerated straight to the basket.

At this time, the center guarding the Rockets' penalty area was Tucker, who was less than two meters tall!

Looking at the menacing James, Tucker was fearless and jumped hard...

"bang!"

With a flying one-handed dunk, James not only smashed the ball into the basket, but also directly dunked Tucker out. The scene was brutal!

91: 87!

At this time, there were 37 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

Offensive and defensive transition...

After McGrady looked up at the timer, he decided to attack!

Facing Wade's defense, he made continuous crotch dribbles outside the three-point line.

After several bewildering shakes, McGrady suddenly pulled up and made a three-pointer!

......

......

bingo!

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the score was rewritten to 94:87.

In the last 30 seconds, the Heat attacked.

James was around the middle circle, running the clock down to just 7 seconds before launching the attack.

This time it was George who defended him.

But James still chose to play pick-and-roll tactics, and still named Griffin to defend him.

Poor Griffin, after his amazing appearance, ushered in the first "military training" time of his career.

He gritted his teeth and vowed to guard against this round!

But the sky failed, James accelerated and passed Griffin again.

After reaching the inside, James faced Tucker's defense and forced a layup.

"Beep!"

At the same time as the goal was scored, the referee blew his whistle.

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

James raised his right arm excitedly and kissed his bicep lightly.

At the same time, Yao Ming frowned off the court.

If he was on the court, he would definitely be able to defend better than Tucker...

Although Tucker worked hard, he was indeed too short.

In the face of absolute talent, his hard work and self-sacrifice did not get any rewards, but he paid for fouls.

Just when Yao Ming was frowning, a voice sounded beside him.

"Don't worry, Yao, our time has not yet come."

It was the young Curry who spoke to comfort him!

Yao Ming turned his head to look at Curry in surprise, and thought to himself, "Oh, I've grown up!"

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

On the court, James took a deep breath, calmly shot and added penalties...

"duang!"

The ball hit the side of the rim and bounced out.

Griffin jumped high and took the rebound.

At this time, the number on the timer was 10, and the Heat started to defend on the spot!

Heat players quickly appeared in front of McGrady and George.

Seeing that it was difficult to pass the ball, Griffin held the ball and started to advance.

This is one of his fortes.

The Heat obviously did not make a targeted arrangement for this.

Griffin dribbled all the way to the [-]-point line in the Heat's half court without encountering any obstacles along the way.

At this moment, the only thing standing in front of him is the captain of the Heat—Haslem!
