Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

Wade's 2+1 once again gave the Heat a chance to breathe.

But only a little bit.

In the next round, Nash once again went forward, and with the help of Lin Zhan's cover, he made another 3-point shot against Payton and made another hit! Not only that, because Payton was pressing too hard, he was still in the air Collided with Nash! Nash got a 3+1 chance!

This 3-pointer not only made Wade's 2+1 come to naught again!

It is also possible for the Suns to further chase the score!

You know, Nash is the player with the highest free throw percentage in the league this season! More than 90% of his free throw percentages make this free throw almost a bonus!

Nash walked slowly to the free throw line, wiped the soles of his shoes with his palm, and then licked his palm with his tongue. This very unhygienic signature action made Lin Zhan, who was standing on the sideline, frown.

Every time he saw Nash's action, he couldn't understand the reason why Nash did it.

He is neither handsome nor domineering, nor is he hygienic.

Lin Zhan standing on the sideline is not far from the Heat's bench, and he needs to rely on this short time to recover as much as possible.

"Gary!"

Riley's voice suddenly reached Lin Zhan's ears. He turned his head and found that it was Riley who called Payton to his side.

Instinct told Lin Zhan that this was an abnormal behavior! Feeling something was wrong, Lin Zhan quietly walked towards the Heat's bench.

When he got close enough to hear the exchange between the two, Riley had finished speaking: "Got it, Gary, just do as I say!"

Peyton nodded, then gave Lin Zhan a deep look, but didn't speak.

The suspicion in Lin Zhan's heart was even stronger.

With Peyton's style and vicious tongue, there is no reason to leave without saying a word when he sees himself coming over to eavesdrop!

Lin Zhan turned his eyes to Riley, looking at the sparse shiny hair, Lin Zhan suddenly remembered a past event!

It was Game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Semifinals!

Holding a 3-1 lead, the Knicks cornered Pat Riley's Heat.

But it was at that time that Pat Boli made a wolf move.

He let the team's main power forward PJ Brown throw a shoulder throw to Knicks guard Charlie Ward in the final moments of the game, and Ward hit the camera directly on the baseline. This move angered the Knicks players, they rushed forward, pinned PJ-Brown to the ground and beat them violently!

What is surprising is that at this time, the Heat players who have always been known for their hot temper, Mourning, Mashburn, Hardaway and others were extremely calm. Almost no one helped his teammate Brown out of trouble, but watched him being beaten. A group of people from the Knicks pressed the floor and beat them up.

The brawl led directly to a massive suspension for the Knicks!

Charlie Ward, Patrick Ewing, Alan Houston, John Starks, and Larry Johnson were all suspended, and the Heat only paid for PJ Brown being suspended for two games alone. punishment.

This brawl turned this round of the series upside down. The Heat team was organized and morale was high. They won two games in a row and finally reversed the score. They defeated the New York Knicks with a big score of 4:3 and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

Everyone knows that this is Riley's conspiracy, this is Pat Riley's trick to sacrifice Brown and let the team advance, but the Knicks just fell for it and lost the series just like that!

Lin Zhan looked at Riley, he had a feeling of history repeating itself.

Is Riley going to do something in the next game so that the Heat can win and win the championship?

Riley also noticed Lin Zhan's stare!

He stared at Lin Zhan without any hesitation, without any evasion. A figure at the level of the godfather of the alliance has his own aura, and he will not be easily frightened by a young man like Lin Zhan.

"I advise you not to do stupid things."

Looking at Riley, Lin Zhan became more certain of his guess, and said something to Riley seemingly without thinking.

"What did you say? I don't understand."

"Do you want to do the same thing in the 1997 Eastern Conference semifinals again, sacrifice Payton, let us beat him up, and then you win?" Lin Zhan looked at Riley with a half-smile and said: "I advise you , don't do such stupid things. Play the game well and don't let that kind of unclean thing appear on the court."

"Are you threatening me? Who do you think you are? Michael Jordan or George Bush?" Riley's eyes became sharper, and his tone was extremely cold.

"I am nobody, and this is not a threat, but a kind reminder." Lin Zhan took two steps closer to Riley, and the distance between the two was less than 1 meter. Lin Zhan stared at Riley firmly. Riley, almost word for word: "If you've seen the highlights of my fights against the Pistons, you know one thing: Security can't stop me!"

"If you want your players to do dirty things, I promise you will pay an unimaginable price!" Having said that, Lin Zhan looked at the Heat players who had gathered around

Without the slightest fear, he said relaxedly: "For example, let these guys lie on the hospital bed for the entire offseason, for example, let you end your coaching career from now on, and you can only spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."

"For scum, I will not have any mercy, and I will not distinguish whether he is an old man, a child or a woman. As long as you do it, I will definitely make you unable to play the rest of the game you imagined! If you don't believe it, just try it! "

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhan turned around, looked at the vicious Antoine Walker in front of him, and said coldly, "Get out!"

Walker, who originally wanted to say something harsh, opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word.

Instead, his body was uncontrollable, and he stepped aside to let Lin Zhan swagger past him.

The entire Heat bench fell into an unspeakable silence.

Lin Zhan's aura just now really scared them, especially Walker who looked at Lin Zhan, he found that his back was drenched in cold sweat, he felt that Lin Zhan really seemed to want to kill him just now .

"coach……………"

Walker swallowed and looked away.

"Call Gary back." Riley was silent for dozens of seconds. He didn't say this until Nash made a free throw and the Heat had completed an offense. Then he shook his head with a wry smile and said: " Tell Gary, just ignore what I told him just now, don't do anything, play well."

After saying this, Riley seemed to have aged ten years, and seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and sat back in his chair slumped.

With more than 20 years of coaching experience, he has encountered countless monsters and thorns, and he has also seen many villains!

But he had to admit that the conversation just now was the first time in his coaching career that he felt scared!

Even Jordan never frightened Riley!

Riley is dumbfounded.

In the next 2 minutes, the two sides entered into a stalemate again. Except for the substitute players, the main players didn't know what happened just now, so it didn't affect their morale. , Steadily controlling the point difference within a gap of 7-9 points.

But as the time dwindled, the fans in the American Airlines Arena became more and more anxious. The cheers and cheers that were originally uniform gradually became chaotic. Some people began to insult the referee, and some began to boo the Heat players. , Some people are still shouting the name of the team to cheer for the team.

The Miami fans in front of the TV were the complete opposite. Their hanging hearts became more and more stable and relaxed, especially when the game time entered the last 2 minutes and the Heat still maintained a 7-point advantage. They already feel that they have a winning ticket!

With this rhythm and scoring efficiency tonight, it is almost impossible to recover 7 points in 2 minutes!

The Suns missed another shot, Mourning took the rebound, and they made it again!

After Wade took the basketball from Mourning's hand, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to hold on, don't worry, just push it slowly.

Under the leadership of Wade, the Heat will start to control the time! As long as they can maintain the lead until the end and win this victory, the Heat will have a huge psychological advantage for the tie-break!

But before that, tonight's game, they must win!

Lin Zhan didn't defend O'Neal whose legs were already weak. Now O'Neal is so tired that even Diaw can't move. Lin Zhan mentioned the frontcourt, and he started to take a full-court picture of Wade!

The purpose is no longer to consume the energy of the Heat, but to steal! It is to make mistakes!

The remaining time for the Suns is indeed not enough!

Wade carefully controls the basketball, and he no longer chases people or scores, and firmly controls the ball to the end of the game, which is the most important thing for the Heat to do now.

15,14,13,12...

Second by second, Wade firmly controlled the basketball. No matter what Lin Zhan tried, he couldn't take the basketball away from him, especially when Lin Zhan deliberately showed his flaws, lost his position in order to steal the ball, and wanted to lure When Wade launched an attack in advance, Wade was able to stabilize his mentality and did not launch in advance.

Unless it is a 100% chance to dunk directly, otherwise Wade will never attack before the attack time is up.

This time, even Lin Zhan was a little impatient. Wade's ball control was too stable, and his mentality was too mature, not like a third-year rookie at all.

In the last 6 seconds, Wade finally launched!

He still chooses one side, forcibly speeding up the breakthrough, Lin Zhan moves quickly, keeps his position, keeps himself in front of Wade, and prevents him from easily breaking through himself to attack the basket.

Just when Wade was advancing near the free throw line, Jackson suddenly appeared, he stopped in front of Wade, and Lin Zhan completed double-teaming Wade one after the other, blocking him between the two.

But Wade reacted very quickly, he passed the ball out immediately, and gave it to Posey outside the 3-point line!

Posey took the ball and swayed it, causing Nash to rush towards him, and then quickly distributed the ball to Payton who was emptied.

When Payton received the ball, there was no one in front of him to defend him. There was no Suns player within 3 meters of him!

The old and steady Payton dribbled the ball and took another step inside the 3-point line!

Then before Nash came back, he pulled up steadily, and at the last second before the end of the offensive clock, he made a mid-range jumper.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball obediently rolled into the net once again!

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!"

The 38-year-old Gary Payton uttered the only roar in this round of the series!

This is his first sports game score of 710 tonight! This is his first 2 points tonight! This is also very likely to be the last 2 points of his entire career!

But it's so crucial, so terribly important!

The entire American Airlines Arena fell into silence. In the last 1 minute and 30 seconds, the Heat's lead came to 9 points, and the fans felt desperate.

Can we still chase it back?

In front of the TV, countless Miami fans roared and shouted in celebration, they won!

Cheng, it's stable

TNT

In the studio, Barkley shook his head and said: "This is the power of experience! This is the old-school player! Even if you don't score 1 point in 40 minutes of the whole game, you can never let go

A player of Ray Payton's level, even if he is 38 years old, if you let him go, you will have to bear the consequences!"

"Everyone in the 90s knew how powerful Payton was and how difficult he was to deal with. He was the person who could limit Jordan the most in the 90s, and he was also the most daring to fight Jordan in the 90s.

The guard who challenged him, let him go? D'Antoni needs to reflect on himself. "

"The Suns paid the price for their youth and immaturity, and Payton used his experience and big heart to hit a crucial goal for the team! 90:81, Heat

The Fire team once again expanded the score lead to 9 points! The Suns still have the ability and courage to overtake the score? Let us wait and see.

On the court, D'Antoni called another timeout. In the last 1 minute and 37 seconds, the time of the Suns became less and less.

They have to score, they have to score fast!

Of course D'Antoni knew and knew about this. He began to arrange 3-point and screen tactics for the team one after another, but the premise of these tactics is still to throw the ball in!

And make quick shots! But everyone knows that it's time for the Suns to bet on 3 points and race against time.

Will the highly motivated Heat team give them a chance?

Soon, the timeout of the game ended, and players from both sides stepped onto the court again.

During the entire second half of the game, neither side had any personnel rotation. These 10 people played the entire second half! At this point in the game, it doesn't matter anymore

It doesn't matter whether you are 28 or 38 years old, everyone has reached the limit, everyone is out of breath and weak.

In the last 1 minute and 37 seconds, the competition is not about tactics and ability, but about belief, the last breath in the chest, and the desire for victory!

I recommend the author's old book "NBA: Man of Steel, Reshaping the Glory of the Green Army", which is still the author's account, it is very good-looking, it is still discounted recently, and subscription is cheaper!.
