Chapter 499: Dominance (2)
There is a kind of goal called futile helplessness.
If he didn't pay attention for a while, he was approached by Yang Di in the penalty area, and then Yang Di turned around by himself, confronted, found space to shoot, and hit the shot with his excellent touch.
The fans shouted in frenzy, this goal was scored, and they felt that the burden on their bodies was much lighter.
The pressure was all on the Heat's side, 85-83, and Pat Riley called a timeout on the spot.
The game is all over this, no one wants to lose, especially this kind of defensive game, it is a bayonet to a bayonet, every score is precious, and every lead seems to be vivid.
"We can't lose this game, we have to have home advantage, it's the first game of the series, don't you want to win the championship? Think about how you got together, and now that the O'Brien Cup is right in front of your eyes, are you going to play with that bit of form? ”
Pat Riley shouted loudly, slowly stirring up the Heat's low morale.
"Don't, it's all in vain! Every player should work hard, this is the stadium, this is the battlefield! ”
Wade clenched his fists, he was the most unwilling, if he could win the championship, he would become the best player in the class of '03, this is something he has always dreamed of prove, and he will never allow himself to go this far and fail.
The timeout comes back and the players from both sides return to the field.
At this time, the eyes of the Heat players looking at the Warriors players changed slightly, this group of young players is really a group of outstanding basketball players, especially Yang Di, who closely surrounds him, forming excellent cohesion and combat effectiveness.
Yang Di beckoned the players to open the formation to defend, and he leaned down, staring straight ahead with wolf eyes, revealing fierceness and domineering in his eyes.
That's how the entire Warriors team came all the way to the Finals.
Gary Payton, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, swept over and saw Yang Di's eyes, and for no reason, his heart trembled.
"Toot ~"
The referee's whistle blows and the game begins.
Wade received the ball on the outside, held the ball, and before the tactics had finished a lap, the game had entered the last 1 minute, and the time was like a bell, and the urgency was overwhelming.
The Warriors' defense is still on the inside, and the Heat's three-point shooting is not very good, especially if they haven't replaced the more accurate "white chocolate".
In this day and age, it's not a big deal to not have a three-point shot, but for the Warriors, when it comes to shrinking the defense, it's a little more unscrupulous.
Wade and O'Neal outside pick-and-roll,
O'Neal's burly body blocked Byron Davis at once, and Tyson Chandler didn't save and made up his mind to prevent breakouts or not to shoot.
It's a very tempting trap, the free throw line area, whether to shoot or not?
A trace of hesitation flashed in Wade's mind, and in such a moment, Yang Di was sandwiched, and he missed the best opportunity.
Because Haslem missed an open ball last time, and this time Danny Granger blocked it.
Wade went outside and gave it to Gary Payton.
Payton didn't dare to shoot three points, and everyone didn't have this awareness, just thinking about getting closer to the basket to score, which is very different from the Mavericks, who have a little gap, no matter where they are, they will shoot immediately.
Payton hoisted the ball to O'Neal, who singled Tyson Chandler in the low post.
The huge body crashed into Chandler, and O'Neill rose to his strength and slammed into it, curvy like a large shark leaping out of the water.
Chandler gritted his teeth and bent his arms to defend, but his center of gravity was still knocked to the ground at one point.
Regardless, O'Neal still has a lot of talent, and although his agility and speed have dropped significantly, the strength and weight are still there, and he is still the most dominant player in the low post, otherwise the media would not still advertise O'Neal as the league's No. 1 center.
"Bang!"
O'Neill slammed into Chandler behind him, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
Huo Ran turned around, because of his wide body, as soon as he turned around, he stood directly in the restricted area, O'Neal made a coherent movement, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and was about to directly crush the dunk.
Heat fans are looking forward to it, is it really the old man who is in the bush, and the sharks regain the dominance of the restricted area?
That action, the Magic period, the Lakers period.
It was as if people had expected how the basketball hoop shook and moaned under Shaquille O'Neal's violent slam.
But at this moment, a black figure soared into the air from the side.
"Who?"
Everyone was shocked, the black shadow rose higher and higher, and the speed of gliding was also extremely fast, and he stretched out his black, evil left hand, which was in the eyes of Miami people, and slapped it.
So resolutely, mercilessly, it slapped O'Neill's outstretched arm.
In Yang Di's eyes, there was an incomparably fierce flash, if he wanted to foul, he would have to commit a foul until others couldn't score a goal.
"Bang!"
O'Neal was castrated, but his arms were on the basket and his whole body was out of balance.
The basketball had long since left his hand, smashed on the basket and bounced high.
The referee saw it clearly, such a big foul action, if he didn't blow Yang Di's words, it was really unreasonable.
"Toot ~"
"Yang Di hitter foul."
Yang Di honestly raised his arm, a foul is a foul, the replay action is obvious, there is no need to pretend.
O'Neill turned his head and glared at Yang Di, Yang Di's indifferent attitude made him hate it even more, there would be such a person, who broke the rules and was fine.
What makes O'Neal feel aggrieved the most is that he has suffered this kind of recidivism at Yang Di's hands several times, Yang Di is sure that he is not good at free throws, and the foul will not give him a chance to add two plus one, and sending him to the free throw line is something that can be accepted in his heart.
"It's a dog."
O'Neal walked to the free throw line, the boos rang out all over the court, the referee threw the ball over, and Yang Di smiled weirdly at him, he himself was a little unconfident.
"It's okay, we still have a chance if we can't score it." Anthony Walker ran to comfort O'Neal with one more move.
"I haven't made free throws yet? You think I can't get it? O'Neill was angry and even more restless.
Amid the boos, O'Neill lifted the basketball.
It was still not standard, the weird free-throw position, the unique action in the history of basketball, and it took two or three seconds to delay in the air before O'Neal threw the ball.
As soon as he made a move, he chuckled in his heart, feeling bad.
"Bell!"
After smashing the basket, the edge bounced, and the basketball did not go into the basket as Yang Di wished.
"Yang Di's goal was achieved, this was a correct tactical foul, it was committed on O'Neal, and he didn't let him complete the dunk easily, and the Warriors really earned it."
Even Miami TV can only praise Yang Di's foul, and it has to be admitted that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Heat.
