Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight
The Heat, who felt that they could still be rescued, broke out with a stronger desire to survive after the intermission.
James and Wadey made sudden outside shots, turning the American Airlines Arena into a sea of joy in one fell swoop.
60 to 70, this is the first time in this round of the series that the Heat lead the Knicks by 10 points.
"This is our territory, we can't fall here." Wade said to the Heat players on the bench when the Knicks requested a timeout.
Sweat slid down James' forehead. The devilish muscular man bit his finger, and kept reminding himself in his mind, calm down, calm down!
At the beginning of the season, the "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley couldn't even dream of it, and the Heat would be passive in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Sishuai knows that tonight is the Heat's best chance to win. As long as the series returns to 1-2, the potential of the Heat's geniuses will be further suppressed, and it is not impossible for them to win.
Bosh recalled every detail of his fight with Lin Yi when he was in the Raptors... Living to death, the Big Three of the Heat firmly believe that they will be able to do it!
On the Knicks' bench, Mike D'Antoni once again looked at Lin Yi affectionately. Lin Yi didn't give D'Antoni a chance to speak, "I know, leave it to me!"
Lin Yi's mood is not as relaxed as his expression at this moment.
Regardless of whether it is exhaustive or the Nicks Count is hot, the reality is really much more crooked than imagined.
Lin Yi knows that if the Heat continue to widen the point difference, the idea of "it's better to give up this game" will spread in the Knicks.
This is basketball... Lin Yi also gave his all. Who dares to say who must sweat more than the other?
The Knicks need a wave of offensive climax to stop the decline, just tonight, it must be 3-0!
...
Lin Yi's attitude is the attitude of the Knicks team. In the third quarter, the two sides started a tug-of-war.
A team that wants to go to the end cannot rely entirely on its star.
Swish——!
"Second Battalion Commander" Gallinari shot from outside.
Bang--!
"My Emperor" held the ball and dunked in three steps like looking down on the world.
After you sang, I went on stage, and Stern, who watched the game, said with emotion: "How great would it be if we could play seven games like this?"
Stern's assistant Xiao Hua was thoughtful...
The Heat defended their lead, and now it's the Knicks hitting the Heat's defense...
Before the end of the third quarter, "The Flash" Wade extended the Heat's lead to 10 points again with an extreme pull!
78 to 88, James hugged Wade excitedly, and the entire American Airlines Arena began to shout MVP.
...
In the fourth quarter, when Lin Yi was about to continue playing without a break, O'Neal suddenly stood up, and he put his hand on Lin Yi's shoulder.
"Phil said that no matter what happens, it is best for the leading star to rest for 4 to 6 minutes in the fourth quarter." O'Neill looked at Lin Yi, and he did not question what D'Antoni or Lin Yi meant.
"I said, hold on to the shark's fin." O'Neill hadn't smiled so happily for a long time.
Lin Yi was a little worried about O'Neill, "Are you really okay, Shaq?"
"Tch, when I won the MVP, you were still wearing crotch pants!" O'Neill's original words were: When I was climbing to the top, you might not know what basketball is.
So the 39-year-old O'Neal led Battier, Gallinari, Danny Green, and Billups to play in the fourth quarter.
For the Heat, Zhan Weibo will play a full 48 minutes tonight.
For the American Airlines Arena, for Wade, for Riley, O'Neal has never been a stranger.
In the future, the Heat will also retire O'Neal's jersey, but at this moment, for O'Neal, the Heat are the enemy.
O'Neal felt that he was really lucky. He didn't expect that at the age of 39, he could enjoy such a wonderful scenery with Lin Yi.
"How can we stop here? I told Sharif that I would give him the fifth ring as a toy." When O'Neal suddenly let out a long cry in the American Airlines Arena, the fans here seemed to recall Reminiscent of when Shaquille O'Neal could still dominate the basket...
Veterans certainly don't die.
Only legendary, beyond legendary.
O'Neill deserves to be called a legend.
Spoelstra, who was going to adopt the "shark hacking" tactic, hesitated because he couldn't be sure whether O'Neal's free throws tonight would be as superb as they were in the first battle between the two sides.
Billups did not hesitate, and implemented low-post tactics on the first attack. He has seen the years when O'Neal ruled the league with a big heart, and he will not doubt O'Neal's strength, even if he is 39 years old!
Lin Yi finally understood why Dayao had increased respect for Uncle Mu. Maybe it was the happiest thing for him to watch a veteran take the pressure for you off the court.
Bosh couldn't bear O'Neill's huge body. The moment O'Neill turned around, the Dragon King hugged O'Neill from behind as if he wanted to stand on the bow of the Titanic with O'Neill to watch the scenery.
The next second, the fat man shouted loudly: "I am the king of the world!"
I can't jump anymore, I really can't jump up, how good would it be to control my weight when I was young?
Pooh!
O'Neal will not regret it, because his life is legendary enough.
O'Neal, who was trying to break free from Bosh's embrace, threw the basketball to the backboard with his left hand at the same time as the whistle sounded...
O'Neal is sincerely praying in his heart at this moment, if basketball really has a god...
Then let's take care of the sharks again!
boom!
Swish!
"O'Neal scored two points, and there will be an additional penalty!"
Lin Yi clenched his fists, "Basketball is not a sport for one person, never has been!"
Shaquille O'Nealga, who walked to the free throw line, made a free throw. The Sharks were as happy as a child at the moment. Both James and Wade had worked with O'Neal, and their emotions were equally complicated.
When he first entered the league, Lin Yi felt that if the road to the championship was full of thorns, he might as well not go there for now.
but now......
"If you don't come back, you won't come back!"
O'Neal held on for six minutes, and when he was replaced, sweating profusely, he couldn't run.
When D'Antoni called a timeout, Billups and Danny Green supported O'Neal on the left and right, "Shaq, you can't fall down here."
O'Neill laughed again, looking at Lin Yi who stood up to meet him, he touched Lin Yi's head with his big hand, and the images at this moment seemed to overlap and freeze.
"Lin (Kobe), I leave it to you!" When OK's past disappeared with the wind, O'Neill stared at the back of Lin Yi stepping back to the court.
94 to 98, the last four points are up to you!
With 5 minutes and 54 seconds left, the third game of this Eastern Conference decisive battle will come to an end.
In New York, Elizabeth Olsen in front of the TV also clenched her fists. Her girlfriends didn't know why she was so persistent.
"What do you know, Lin has never let you down!" Olsen cast a disdainful glance at his girlfriends, and whispered cheers.
On the court, James and Wade looked at each other, and they were asking each other: Can you still fight?
And the answers to each other are so tacit: Yes!
Then fuck him!
Lin Yi did not disappoint O'Neal, he scored four points in a row as soon as he came up, tying the score for the Knicks!
James and Wade also did not disappoint the Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena. They joined hands to defend the Heat's position tonight.
The scores of the two sides took the lead alternately, and the tense atmosphere permeated every corner of the court.
Barkley even knocked off Kenny Smith's water glass nervously, and the photographers couldn't care less about wiping the sweat from their foreheads, they frantically recorded every moment of the game.
When the two sides battled to the last 26 seconds, Lin Yi scored his 31st point tonight, 107 to 107. Lin Yi brought the difference between the two sides back to the same starting line again!
Heat coach Spoelstra requested a timeout, which was the last timeout for the Heat in the game, and the Knicks had no more timeouts available.
James scored 40 points tonight, and Wade also scored 32 points. D'Antoni arranged more, what should the Knicks do if the Heat score.
The Heat will definitely try their best to run out the game time, and for the Knicks, as long as they can drag the game into overtime, it is a victory for them.
Because the Knicks' physical fitness is more dominant.
"Kenny, this game is the most exciting playoff game so far this year." Barkley said with emotion.
Kenny Smith nodded, he was very curious, how will the Heat's final attack be carried out?
Is it James, or Wade?
The fans at home have already stood up to watch the game, and many fans have begun to pray for the Heat.
The Heat's sideline ball tactics are not complicated. James pretended to catch the ball, but in fact, on the other side, Bosh blocked the Knicks behind Wade.
Wade received a sideline kick from Chalmers, and Wade calmly motioned his teammates to pull away.
The Heat's last attack was whoever received the ball, he or James, played.
While dribbling the game time, Wade stopped looking at the timer when the game was down to the last 10 seconds.
The Heat's last attack starts with a countdown of 26 seconds, which means that the Knicks will also have an offensive opportunity when the Heat press the last attack, but the Knicks did not pause, so Wade does not want to leave too much time for the Knicks.
Wade counted the seconds in his heart, and at the moment when Danny Green, who was facing him, lightly supported his waist with his hand, Wade started.
At the last moment, as long as the action is not big, the referee can't call the penalty, so Green chose to start, but Wade is so arrogant!
Green gritted his teeth and slid sideways trying to keep up with the Miami lightning, but the lightning suddenly stopped his pace.
Wade took a step back, but Green didn't expect Wade to choose a three-pointer at the last moment.
When he pounced again, Wade had already completed the shot.
Swish——!
The ball goes into the stop watch!
107 to 110!
With only 2.9 seconds left in the game, Wade hit this game-killing three-pointer!
He waved his arms excitedly, and the entire American Airlines Arena was boiling!
"Wade is the lore..." Before the Heat's home commentator could finish his sentence, James' embarrassing face of joy was replaced by panic, because at the moment Wade hit the net with a three-pointer, Lin Yi had already Running toward the Heat's half court.
Noticing this scene, Tyson Chandler held the basketball to the bottom line and then launched an attack with a long throw!
In the Heat's halftime, when Lin Yi received the basketball, there were only a few tenths of a second left...
He didn't even have time to take an extra step forward, nor did he have time to make any adjustments.
This is the position just before the LOGO circle, and James and Bosh pounced on him from left to right.
"Infinite Range" didn't light up, but Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all.
In the Davidson era, Lin Yi once discussed with Curry what qualities a shooter should possess.
The answers of the two are very similar, that is, first of all you have to believe that you are the best pitcher, and every ball you throw will be scored.
O'Neal once found out that Lin Yi practiced super long three-pointers during training. At that time, the Sharks dismissed this, "Lin, you are showing off your skills."
Lin Yi shook his head and looked at the fat man, "Shaq, I'll start here. If I get in, how about treating me to a hot pot meal?"
Shaq, if this goal is scored, remember the hot pot.
Lin Yi acted like a primary school student this time, because it was too difficult to complete the force in such a short period of time.
"drop----!!"
The whistle sounded.
And the basketball flying in the air seems to be looking for its home.
For a long time, basketball felt that the basket was not friendly enough.
So it chose to get into the Nets and took a shower.
Swish——! !
"110 tie-!! God! Lin Yi dragged the game into overtime!!"
Lin Yi, who fell on the floor, soon lost sight of the shining spotlight on the ceiling... because one Knicks player after another was pressing on him.
Countless bars in New York erupted in cheers at this moment, and on that piece of land of 9.6 million square kilometers, countless Chinese fans shouted in unison: "Long live Lin Yi——!"
