knife point guard

Chapter 251 [The Rise of Wade]

Stan Van Gundy did not let O'Neal rest, let O'Neal continue to play, and led the rotation to defeat the Pistons.

Now that it's a life-and-death moment in the tiebreaker, there's no need to think about it and just get started.

O'Neal is very brave. It is rare for Larry Brown to replace Milicic at this time. This is due to Milicic's outstanding performance in the regular season. In this year's playoffs, he got the opportunity to rotate. Probably the team The eighth person.

However, Milicic obviously couldn't hold O'Neal.O'Neal scored consecutively, and he helped the Heat widen the point difference.

Larry Brown's expression on the TV camera was magnified, and you could see his nostrils flaring through the screen as he mouthed obscenities angrily.

Rasheed Wallace went up quickly.

Milicic was thrown to the bench, and when he passed by Larry Brown, he was scolded by Larry Brown.

At this time, the ESPN commentator sarcastically said on TV: It’s hard to believe that Milicic was the second pick in 2003. Look at LeBron James, Suzy the Lamb, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, even K. Reese Bosh and Kirk Hinrich are doing something.What qualifications does he have to get ahead of so many people?

The American media likes to do this kind of thing of "adding insult to injury".

They like to label all kinds of players, especially those who are weak and at the bottom of their careers.Bullying these weak people can establish their superior authority.

They have tried and true.

The only surprise was Su Xi, who could always slap them in the face.

Even if they passively revise their expectations for Su Xi, Su Xi can still turn their evil spirits into slaps in their faces.

O'Neal is unstoppable and dominant on the court.

He gallops freely in the paint area. Not only does he have a strong body, but his hook is astonishingly smooth.

The Pistons were in decline.

At this time, Rasheed Wallace made a 'brave move'. When O'Neal's back was turned, he took the initiative to put his head under O'Neal's ribs.

O'Neal elbowed him.

At that time, he fell down.

Su Xi heard a bang outside the TV... This was the effect of live radio.

Rasheed Wallace was hit hard this time.

Although he took the initiative to cause fouls, he can make such sacrifices and is considered a tough guy.

The referee gave O'Neal his fifth foul, which was an undisputed penalty.

Although O'Neal was very depressed, he could only open his hands and smile bitterly.

Stan Van Gundy hesitated at this time. Instead of replacing O'Neal, he replaced Dwyane Wade.

With 8 minutes left in the game and the Miami Heat leading by 12 points, he didn't want to miss this golden opportunity.

He also didn't think the referee dared to send O'Neal off at this time.

He just bets.

The unspoken rule of the NBA is... when a superstar of one team gets five fouls and is still on the court, then... the referee will naturally control the scale of the call and turn a blind eye to some fouls that may or may not be called. One eye.

However, who would have thought that the Pistons would play so bravely?
Prince received a pass from Billups from the wing, defrauded Eddie Jones with a shot fake, and went straight into the penalty area.

He is the thinnest player on the Pistons and can be called a spare rib.

But he bumped into O'Neal abruptly and challenged O'Neal head-on.

O'Neal jumped up to scare him, but he didn't want to block the shot.But who would have thought that after Prince collided head-on with O'Neal, his body's center of gravity was completely unbalanced and he got close to O'Neal's ribs. He took the shot regardless, and his body fell like a kite with its string broken.

boom!
Prince fell heavily to the ground, and the huge damage caused his body to arch into a crotch.

He made a sound of pain.

The referee glanced at the big screen, hesitated for a few seconds, and then blew the whistle.

This foul is not controversial.

Prince is too ruthless. This is a strategy that will cost you one thousand and kill eight hundred for the enemy.

Prince was injured and he rested.

O'Neal received six fouls and had to leave the game.

But at this time, the Heat have a 12-point lead, and it is still unclear who will win.

ESPN experts said: This is the most thrilling tie-break in 20 years. This may be a preview of the championship. Whether it is the Pistons or the Heat, as long as they fight out the tie-break, they may have the last laugh.

Su Xi frowned in front of the TV. She didn't take the Spurs and me seriously.

Although the Western Conference Finals have not officially started yet, in Su Xi's eyes, the Suns are not comparable to the Spurs at all. The Suns' strength is limited to the regular season. Entering the series competition, without penalty area offense and defense, they are like being tied by a rope. A grasshopper can't jump much.

This year's Spurs have a strong team. Not only are their main lineup strong, but their rotation lineup is also very unique. Coupled with Popovich's mature and stable tactical system, their strength is only the tip of the iceberg.

The Pistons replaced Lynch Hunter, a veteran.Their backcourt became three defenders with insufficient height: Billups and Lynch Hunter are both 191. Hamilton is slightly taller, but his confrontation is not enough.

At this time, the Heat's lineup is: Kenyon Dulin, Dwyane Wade, Eddie Jones, Haslem, Mourning.

Mourning returned to the Heat this season, and people called him a kidney fighter.

Mourning has been known for his toughness throughout his entire career, but after his comeback this time, his strength has indeed declined a lot. He can only be said to be an experienced and qualified substitute.You can't ask for higher output from him.

Swish!
Swish!
Billups replaced Prince and hit two free throws.

Looking back, Wade was guarded by Lynch Hunter. Lynch was older, but his defense was very strong, and he effectively entangled Wade.Wade passed off a screen to Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones is a former All-Star shooting guard who Kobe once served as a substitute for.

But now he... snap!

Billups steals him.

Then Halibut ran wildly and reached the frontcourt. Without any hesitation, he took off and shot directly from outside the three-point line... Whoosh!

Three point hit!

When Billups first entered the league, he had a "wandering career". He was not liked by the coach and wandered around.

But now, people prefer to call him: Mr. Key!

ESPN is giving him high praise.

But when the camera showed Larry Brown, his expression showed some disbelief and helplessness, followed by joy.

Obviously, this is a jump shot outside of Brown's tactics.

Although this old stubborn man was a little unhappy, the result made him happy.

He is under great pressure this season. He has the same intention as all Pistons players. He hopes to lead the Pistons to complete revenge.

He didn't want to be crushed by the Pacers.

Because when he left the Pacers and exchanged clubs with Carlisle, no one thought Carlisle would win.

But now, Carlisle has won the best coach award.

If the regular season MVP hadn't been given to Susie, Carlisle might not have lost to D'Antoni in the selection of the best head coach, so he would have won the best head coach for two consecutive years.

Larry Brown's historical status declined after that 'exchange of ownership', while Carlisle improved.

Moreover, the failure of last season made him brood. He thought more than once: If time could be turned back, the Pistons would definitely not lose, and the Pistons would definitely defeat the Lakers and win the championship.

So, he wants to win!
The Heat continue to be sluggish.

Wade drives to the basket, and without O'Neal as a strong involvement, he is flanked and the basketball he throws misses the basket.

ESPN started saying he was playing too alone.

However, Suhi saw Stan Van Gundy applauding Wade from the sidelines, and he was motivating Wade.

Stan Van Gundy may not be a head coach who is proficient in tactics and has strong ability to change on the spot, but he must be a head coach who 'believes in the stars'.He, like his brother, loves his players.Not PUA.

"Wade is still not calm enough at critical moments."

Amid the sighs of ESPN experts, Hamilton hit a whirlwind jumper in the frontcourt and another three-pointer, which he completed in the bottom corner.

The score difference was only 4 points in an instant.

In less than 1 minute after O'Neal came off the court, the Pistons recovered 8 points, two three-pointers and two free throws.

The situation became clear all of a sudden.

This clarity is for the Pistons.

Larry Brown has a smile on his face.

Stan Van Gundy requested a timeout. ESPN said Stan Van Gundy called the foul late.

But Su Xi didn't think so. Who would have thought that after Billups hit a gambling three-pointer, Hamilton would succeed in a sneak attack?

Now ESPN is saying that the Pistons will win the final victory.

Su Xi actually feels that the Pistons are gaining momentum.

If the Pistons advance, Indiana will be relieved.

For the Pacers, it's easier to beat the Pistons.It's not that the Pistons are not strong enough, but they have too much winning experience with the Pistons. They have seen all the Pistons' tricks and have ready-made countermeasures.

But the Miami Heat are very unpredictable.

Wade and O'Neal can theoretically unleash the most powerful duo in the league today.

Playing against them will be more challenging than playing against the Pistons.

However, Su Xi himself hopes to play against the Heat.

So he wants the Heat to win.

Especially after experiencing the tiebreaker with the Pistons, the Heat will be stronger.

Su Xi hopes to defend his title with the Pacers and become the championship for the second time.For Su Xi, becoming a champion means defeating all powerful opponents.

The Pistons had already been defeated once last year, and there was no point in defeating them again.

The Heat are the second best in the Eastern Conference and the Spurs are the strongest in the Western Conference.

Only by killing them can Su Xi's sense of accomplishment be satisfied.

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

What people didn't expect was that Wade was still attacking on the Heat's side.

He cuts through the defense like lightning. He drives into the penalty area and without hesitation, he lifts up and goes for a layup.

Wade does have lightning energy, and his breakthroughs are extremely lethal.

Su Xi even feels that his current breakthrough and killing ability exceeds that of today's Iverson. After all, he is taller and his explosive power is better than that of today's Iverson.However, Iverson's mid-range jumper is more stable, and Iverson is a natural scorer.

boom!
Wade's layup missed the basket slightly.

At this moment, Mourning jumped up, grabbed the basketball with both hands and slammed it into the basket.

Wade attracted both Wallaces away, and the vacant position gave Mourning a chance to play.

Although Mourning is old, he will not give up the opportunity to eat cake like this.

After the dunk, Mourning flexed his muscles and let out a roar.

As if shouting: The iron armor is still there!
There is no doubt that Mourning is a tough man.

Even when facing the Wallace brothers, he never showed weakness.Even though his current physical fitness is far inferior to that of his peak, he still faces the enemy head-on with the strongest attitude.

That's the kind of guy he is.

Like a spear that can only move forward but not turn, the day the front of the spear is shattered is the day his career ends.

The game continues.

The Heat's improved defense.

Everyone knew this was the last ditch effort, the last few minutes.

No one wants this season to stop here.

The fighting will of both sides has increased to an unprecedented level.

This made Su Xi a little excited.

Because a team that emerges from such a state must be an iron-blooded team and must be full of fighting power.

In this way, the Pacers can exert their strongest abilities.

The Pistons went back to draw a foul, and Hamilton fouled Eddie Jones.

Made both free throws.

Wade broke into the penalty area and scored.

You come to me on both sides.

It was a wonderful fight.

Especially Wade, he shows a killer nature, he keeps entering the penalty area, he keeps causing damage.

He made the Pistons' defense collapse inside.

Although he sometimes struck without thinking, he never doubted himself. His pace became faster and faster, like a super assassin.

Wade is tough.

Also strong.

The star from Chicago has always had such character.It is better to take what is straight than to seek what is wrong.

Su Xi appreciates Wade more and more, and he also believes that Wade, who has been tempered by the Pistons, will truly step into the realm of superstars, and even enter the realm of superstars.

In this way, the Eastern Conference finals will be more interesting.

Those experts who had previously said that Wade played alone also began to change their tone. They gradually praised Wade for his responsibility, his courage to carry the team on his shoulders, and his courage to take responsibility.

This is what rookie players need most.

Speaking of this, one commentator said half-heartedly: It's a bit like the Lamb at the critical moment of last year's Eastern Conference finals...

He didn't go on.

But everyone knows that the Pistons lost to a guard from the 2003 class last season.

Now, another guard from the 2003 class has arrived.

At this moment, in a castle in Cleveland, LeBron James is biting his nails with mixed emotions.

Watching fellow rookies struggling on the highest stage, he could only enjoy boring vacations.

He was sad and he wanted to fight.

He also wants to make the playoffs.

But...it seems far away.

When will it be my turn?
There are 35 seconds left in the game.

The Miami Heat led by 3 points.

Billups received the ball from the baseline and dribbled the ball across half court. Everyone thought he would control the rhythm or steal a ball, but he seemed undisciplined.When he walked towards the top of the arc,...he suddenly stopped suddenly and took off...swish!

Hit a three-pointer.

tie.

When there are 23 seconds left in the time.

The Pistons left the Heat with one final attack.

This is not a wise move.

However, it is also the least bad option.

If the Heat cannot complete this attack, it will enter overtime.

The Heat are bound to lose.

Su Xi thinks so too.

But will Wade let the game go into overtime?

Even though he looked out of breath at the moment.

Come on.

Su Xi is cheering Wade up.
