Chapter 496: Throw-In!

Intense competition, scorching scores.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led the Heat by two points, 64-62.

Nowadays, every goal is crucial, the coach changes the players, wants to see the contribution of every player on the field, the more critical the moment, the less easy it is to make major changes in the lineup.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Montgomery gritted his teeth and replaced Monta Ellis, who had not yet played.

The Warriors rotate the ninth man, although Monta Ellis is only the second-round pick picked by the Warriors this season, but because of his sharp breakthrough ability and the blocking and dismantling cooperation that complements Yang Di, he often enters the rotation lineup, and the Heat "white chocolate" Jason Williams is not a power guard, and Monta even has a slight height advantage against him.

Jandy was joined by Monta Ellis, John Salmons and Mike Dunleavy.

After playing two minutes, Jason Williams' defense was leaky, and Monta didn't dare to shoot easily from the outside, and Montgomery saw that the offensive rhythm was not very good, so he replaced Monta Ellis again.

Monta-Ellis walked off the field with a sad face and high-fived his coach-mates in turn.

Then he sat down on the side of Ariza.

"Don't cry and be sad, it's good to be able to go up and play for a while in the finals." Trevo Ariza and Monta Ellis said.

Monta Ellis lowered his voice, a little unhappy: "I think I'm going to score the next goal, I haven't played much yet, it's really a waste of such a good opportunity." ”

"yes, don't think too much, it's always better than me, I haven't played much in the playoffs." When it comes to the opportunity and time to play, Ariza's brow furrows deeply, young players like them, although they are on the fringes of the team, are still eager to play, prove themselves and improve themselves.

"I really didn't see that White Chocolate's defense was so good."

"He's very close-eyed and he's good at tackles, and if you're not careful, you'll fall into his defensive trap and he'll be prone to making mistakes."

"I should have made another strong breakthrough just now, but I was still not resolute enough."

"The time the baseline breaks, you can go a little deeper, or even go directly to the rebound, or rush through the restricted area and distribute the ball to the top of the arc, where Dunleavy is ambushed in the open position." Ariza, as a bystander, saw more clearly, pointing out Monta-Ellis's shortcomings.

Monta nodded earnestly, pointed to the field, and continued to discuss with Ariza, arguing with what he was thinking.

It's also a way for them to improve, and no matter what, as they get more experience on the course, so does their individual ability and ability to play.

Monta Ellis knows where the team is positioning itself.

One is a sharp knife breaker, mainly to kill the inside line and score in chaos, and the other is to block and dismantle the ball holding point, break through the ball and connect the team, the former he has slowly found a feeling, and the latter is still learning and improving, if you can play these two points out and become the first substitute of the Warriors, there is no problem at all, go further, and even enter the starting lineup.

Byron Davis, who had a two-minute break, re-entered, and Yang Di was again in the rhythm of the second half.

.......

The two sides went back and forth, and when there were only 3 minutes left, Wade made a layup under the nose of Yang Di, and the Heat stubbornly tied the score at 81.

Wade glanced at Yang Di when he retreated, and the meaning in his eyes was probably that you couldn't guard me.

Yang Di snorted secretly, looked back at the front court and trotted away.

The time entered the last 3 minutes, and the hearts of the fans watching the game were hanging, so nervous that they forgot to breathe, and their eyes were wide and did not want to miss any wonderful shots.

"Whoosh~"

Byron Davis took a deep breath and then puffed out his chest to recover a little.

In the last round against the Mavericks' two skinny outside players, the physical exertion was not so great, and this game against Wade was not only an attempt to get past this top-notch opponent in speed and strength on the offensive end, but also consumed a lot of energy on the defensive end, and the performance was very average.

Byron holds the ball in his right hand and rises with his left.

After resting for five or six seconds, Yang Di came out to block the dismantling.

In the left area, Yang Di mentioned the three-point line, Byron Davis and Yang Di made eye contact, the Heat's defense was relatively high, and Wade and Haslem were each on Yang Dee's side.

Suddenly, Yang Di went down, and before Byron could finish blocking and dismantling, he dodged and left directly.

Neither Haslem nor Wade reacted to such a sudden attack, and as soon as Yang Di left, Byron jumped up and hoisted the ball high.

Haslem immediately moved, keeping up with Yang Di's pace.

Yang Di dribbled with his right hand, separated the distance between him and Haslem, and hit the basket in a straight line.

The space under the basket has always been small, and O'Neal took a step to the left along the edge of the box to block in front of Jandy.

He stood firmly on the ground, and if Yang Di couldn't slow down and rushed directly, he wouldn't mind creating an offensive foul for Yang Di.

However, his weight of nearly 300 pounds, if he makes a foul, it is indeed a little difficult.

Yang Di was ready to shoot, gritting his teeth and rushing in.

He took a big step from the side, trying to avoid O'Neal's defense.

O'Neill jumped up desperately, like a shark out of the water, and the two faced each other with a "bang" in the air, Yang Di twisted his waist to grab the ball horizontally, and then held the ball up with his arm forward.

From the side of the shark, a layup was made.

A bunch of people crowded on the inside, and after the basketball hit the board, they spun around the basket twice and still rolled out.

As soon as Yang Di landed, he desperately stuck with O'Neal, and the basketball rolled out, and he grabbed the frontcourt rebound.

"Don't think!"

O'Neill and Haslem shouted in unison, and several arms rose out at the same time.

Yang Di originally occupied some good positions and jumped in time, but after such a disturbance, he didn't grasp the ball steadily, and after the basketball clicked, he flew into the sky.

Jumping again, Yang Di and O'Neal touched the basketball at the same time, and with the two working together, the net flew to the side of the court.

Young Danny Granger and veteran Anthony Walker competed for the ball, and Granger was in a better position and should theoretically have caught the ball first.

Under the interference of Walker's desperate pounce, the two collided with each other, and their bodies were unstable, and the basketball was even more impossible to control.

The two stretched out their hands at the same time, touching the basketball that bounced up, and they didn't know who finally made the effort, and the basketball was poked directly out of the sideline and rolled to the feet of the Heat head coach, Pat Riley.

"Toot ~"

The referee's whistle blows, throw-in.
