Chapter 42
Although he kept up with Reggie Miller's footsteps, he still failed to block the opponent's shot.

The shot is really too fast. This is where Miller is different from other pitchers. He hardly needs space to shoot. If his physical fitness is better, he can definitely go against the sky.

But the fact is that his physical fitness is not particularly outstanding. Zhang Chen jumped up in the air and almost blocked his entire body. The basketball flew past Zhang Chen's fingertips, but luckily it didn't smash into the frame.

47:45, interfered with the opponent's last shot in the first half, and the Heat only led by 2 points.

Back in the rest room, the sweat on Zhang Chen's body suddenly burst out. He didn't sweat excessively during the running just now. Once he stopped, the sweat couldn't be stopped.

Zhang Chen knew that the amount of exercise in the first half was a little too much, so he quickly put on a long sweatshirt and added some sports drinks, so as not to let his physical strength be lost through excessive sweating.

Pat Riley asked players to attack the inside more in the second half, including outside players, not to compare shots with the opponent, to increase lethality, and to increase the success rate of offense.

It was also because in the first half Mourning had already caused the opponent's inside players to back a few fouls, and if they caused more damage, the Heat's inside advantage could be doubled.

Zhang Chen has only one task, which is to follow Miller tirelessly, even if he doesn't participate in the attack, it doesn't matter.

Why is it said that the insiders win the world, because basketball is a sport in which the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. Pat Riley's arrangement made the Heat's score rise steadily.

After the intermission, the Pacers' outside shooters did not remain stable all the time.

Especially under the close supervision of Zhang Chen, Miller didn't feel particularly good. He adjusted himself while spraying various sentences, and he would not force shots without the ball. He tried both breakthroughs and passes.

However, Miller who does other work is far less threatening than Miller who is shooting. Even so, Zhang Chen did not relax, because an opponent like Miller will come suddenly at any time.

He even started to be provocative, "Hey, why don't you take more shots, your team is falling behind."

"Hmph, are you trying to piss me off, Mao has no long-term boy, you are still a little tender, but you will soon see how I fuck you."

At the end of the third quarter, the Heat had led by 7 points.

Zhang Chen's rest time in this game is exactly the same as that of Miller. When Miller is on, he will go up, and when Miller is off, he will get off.

When Miller stood up from the bench again in the fourth quarter, Zhang Chenhe stood up quickly, and the time for the decisive battle finally came.

Miller's face was extraordinarily calm. After playing, he ran back continuously to catch the ball. It was an extremely difficult three-pointer. After the shot, he sat on the ground.

Zhang Chen swore that the ball was as good as the previous defense against the opponent's shot, but the ball still fell into the basket, "Seeing that there is no best rookie, your fucking defense is not enough." Get up Miller Don't forget to say a few words.

This is the so-called playoff player, the key player, and sometimes the goals simply ignore the defense.

Zhang Chen wasn't discouraged. Not to mention players of Miller's level, even ordinary players can sometimes suffer a few blows. He should find ways to prevent the opponent's next shot.

It's already the fourth quarter, and Miller's running is still tireless. In order to keep up with him, Zhang Chen really adopted the method of the head coach, basically not participating in the offense, and wholeheartedly defending.

"Miller made a hit again, and it was a difficult shot. This is his characteristic. At the critical moment, he can always feel hot without warning. The Heat are in trouble."

"The Heat's interior offense is also very determined, but the score is still shrinking."

"This is a wrestling match. The Pacers used fouls inside to prevent the Heat from scoring. This shows their determination and will never let the opponent put the ball into the basket easily."

"This game is really fierce. It seems that there will be no winner until the last minute."

The score went back and forth, Miller caught the ball and made a shot, Zhang Chen jumped up to block the block again, but the opponent was short, rushed in and made a mid-range shot near the free throw line, 80:83, the Pacers Only 3 points behind.

Damn, I didn't expect the opponent to come here. Miller seldom makes such a fake move at critical moments. As an outstanding pitcher, the more decisive the shot, the higher the hit rate. Such a fake move is very difficult for other players. A nice weapon, perhaps, but a tempo thing for Miller.

But this kind of thing is not absolute, only victory is absolute.

It doesn't matter if you don't realize that the opponent is making a fake move, but it is wrong to let the opponent shoot the ball almost without defense. This is because the excessive consumption of energy is reflected in the last moment of the game. Adjust your body rhythm to keep up.

"The best rookie in shit, you can't guard me."

Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and followed that arrogant figure, he must persevere.

The Heat scored another 2 points, but looking back, Miller scored another 3 points, this time it was a catch and shot, very decisive. The difference is only 2 points.

Is it really impossible to guard against this guy, as firm as Zhang Chen, even a trace of doubt appeared in Zhang Chen's heart.

"Zhang, come on..."

"Zhang, you must be able to guard against this annoying guy..."

"Zhang, kick his ass hard, we all believe in you..."

Some messy sounds from the stands came to my ears, the fans at home are just lovely.

There seems to be another force in Zhang Chen's body. Isn't it just a few shots in front of him? Since he has chosen basketball, such a situation is inevitable. Hold on and bravely go forward. Victory is not for others, but for yourself.

Feeling that the young defensive player next to him seems to be in good spirits again, Miller is also very surprised. It is unbelievable that a rookie entering the playoffs for the first time can have this kind of mental quality. You Tiao, facing his firepower in the fourth quarter, will collapse.

He must defeat such an enemy, and a raging flame ignited in Miller's heart.

Since the Heat kept killing the inside in the second half, their outside shooting percentage was no longer guaranteed. At the last critical moment, they would not take random risks, but could only strengthen their defense and continue to rush inside.

As for the outcome, it really depends on each player's performance. The inside line is stable but not explosive, the outside line is not stable enough but explosive. , To be precise, Reggie Miller broke out.

"It's another 3 points. The Pacers tied the score. Miller has scored 16 points in a single quarter. With 27 seconds left in the game, Miller used a 3-pointer to help the Pacers take the lead in the second half." Tied the score for the first time."

"The Heat called a timeout, and the sweat on my forehead came out. This game will definitely not be decided until the last second. Is it a decisive game or overtime..."

"The fight was so fierce, I think the two teams may not want to play overtime, but it's really hard to say which team will win."

"Let's talk about the Heat first. Who will Pat Riley make this shot? Mourning, Hardaway, Mashburn, or Zhang Chen who barely took a shot in the second half. In fact, Zhang Chen has proved his big heart , but he probably has no touch in this game."

Pat Riley did struggle with this issue for a while, but he is a very decisive coach and quickly came up with a decision.

The most confident person in his heart is Mourning, but the inside players may not be able to catch the ball at the last moment.

If it was before, it must be Tim Hardaway, but Hardaway seems to have suddenly aged after entering the playoffs, and he can't find the feeling at all. Now that the offense has been reduced, the efficiency is better, but it may be a bit reluctant to execute the last shot.

Zhang Chen thought it was pretty good, but because of the strategic reasons of the game, he basically didn't make any shots in the second half. A big killer at critical moments, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Then if Mourning can't catch the ball, it can only be Mashburn.

"Tim, control the rhythm of the next ball, make full use of the time, and give it to Alonzo as much as possible. If there is really no chance, let Jamal rush to the inside and score inside, that's it."

Re-entering the court, Hardaway controlled the ball, and the Pacers adopted a method of one person going around the front and one behind, ready to pinch at any time to deal with Mourning, and the ball could not be given in at all.

The ball has been in Hardaway's hands for more than 17 seconds. He can only hang it to Mashburn according to the coach's intention. Mashburn catches the ball and leans against the defender behind him. Squeezing two steps, facing Schmitz who rushed over to help defend, he made a big backlash and threw the ball out.

The move was brilliant, but the ball bounced off the rim, didn't go in, and bounced away.

Everyone rushed to the basket, Dale Davis was fighting with Mourning, Schmitz was turning around, P-J-Brown was a little far away to give Mashburn the space to come in, a figure was like lightning, Flashing through the crowd, making a supplementary dunk in the air, Zhang Chen scored a crucial 2 points, and the Heat led by 92 points at 90:2.

With less than 3 seconds remaining, the Pacers requested a timeout.

It must be Miller. Anyone who feels that Miller will stand up, but it doesn't mean that he can be locked up.

Among a bunch of people, Miller started to start, the sharpest reverse run, he chose to run farther, he received the ball, he dribbled the ball out of the three-point line, he turned around and made a jump shot in one go.

He found a hand and slapped the basketball he had left.
