During the pause.
The cheers and celebrations in the home arena continued one after another.
The Thunder's performance during this period has been fantastic.
After returning from the timeout, Westbrook and Durant join again!
No matter how good the second team performs, Brooks cannot always let the second team play on it.
Although it looks good, it is actually just transferring the pressure of the second team to Zhao Chen.
The Heat are more difficult than Brooks imagined.
After returning from the timeout, the Heat continued to exert force on both offense and defense, gradually catching up with the score.
At the end of the third quarter, the score reached 93-97.
The Thunder's lead was reduced to only 4 points.
It cannot be said that Durant and Westbrook did not perform well, it can only be said that their state is not as hot as James and Wade tonight.
When James and Wade can both hit three-pointers from the outside, the Heat's offensive rhythm is completely revealed.
In addition, the referee also favored the Heat a bit in terms of penalty scale.
On multiple half-balls, the referees made decisions in favor of the Heat, which made the Thunder a little uncomfortable.
Even though the fans continued to boo, they could not change the situation.
The game between the two sides also fell into a tug of war after entering the final decisive battle.
Zhao Chen's efficiency ensured that the Thunder would not be too passive, but they could not open up the score and suppress the Heat's Big Three.
In the last 5 minutes, the two sides frequently fought hard. Zhao Chen's physical fitness also declined sharply, and his efficiency was not as efficient as in the first three quarters. Both sides showed the defensive intensity of the finals level.
Durant, who scored 27 points, had cramps and left the game with 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game.
Although Durant's physical fitness is a weakness, he has been a little tired recently.
But no matter how tired Durant is, he is still super strong. You can imagine how intense this game is. Almost every round is full of running and defense!
Durant definitely wants to defeat the Heat and James more than anyone else, so he has no reservations.
This is a bit too much.
Durant's dismissal forced Westbrook and Zhao Chen to bear greater defensive pressure.
...
The two sides soon reached the final moment of the regular season.
In the last 10 seconds, the Thunder paused.
The score between the two sides was 120 to 120.
The superstars on both sides were desperate to win this game.
Cheers and screams erupted from the scene.
This is the most exciting game they have watched this season.
Super stars, scenes, all kinds of fairy balls!
The fans enjoyed it very much.
After returning from timeout.
Zhao Chen holds the ball and controls the final attack.
Zhao Chen's score tonight reached 58 points, and his personal score surpassed all the superstars on the field.
In the last attack, Zhao Chen used the cover of Ibaka and Adams to find space to take action.
Zhao Chen shoots from a distance!
James pounced on the ball quickly.
Zhao Chen increased the arc of his shot in order to avoid James blocking the shot.
"frame!"
Zhao Chen, who had been accurate all game, missed the winning shot.
The rebound popped out of the outside and was picked up by Westbrook!
Westbrook took the ball without any hesitation, took off immediately and wanted to dunk to kill the game.
But at the critical moment, Bosh stood in front of the three-second zone to block the ball! ! !
"boom!"
Westbrook's impact hit Bosh!
Westbrook also completed the shot after hitting Bosh with the ball.
"Uh-huh!"
"Kill?"
"Deadly kill!"
The ball was scored!
but!
Beep beep beep! !
The referee made a series of gestures to hit someone with the ball!
The offensive foul was called, and then at the same time, the referee made the signal that Westbrook needed to come out.
Westbrook committed six fouls.
"wowowo!"
"God!"
Thunder fans who were just about to cheer and celebrate encountered bad news!
Everyone covered their mouths and exclaimed in disbelief.
Just when the fans wanted to put pressure on the referee, the attack just now was replayed on the big screen at the scene.
Zhao Chen's shot missed, and Westbrook's impact after getting the offensive rebound hit Bosh who had stood up in advance.
There's nothing wrong with it, this is an offensive foul!
Westbrook was holding a towel with a frustrated look on his face. It could be seen from his expression that he was very frustrated.
Westbrook's personal data is fixed at a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.
Westbrook got a triple-double tonight, but he couldn't be happy.
He wants to win more than get a triple-double.
Looking at the Heat's Big Three who were roaring in celebration, Westbrook walked up to Zhao Chen before leaving the court.
"Zhao, the game is left to you, I will try my best." Westbrook hugged Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen had a wry smile on his face and patted Westbrook on the back.
There are still 0.3 seconds left on the clock. Under normal circumstances, this game will go into overtime.
Durant had cramps and Westbrook was sent off. These two bosses were really clean.
He will have to fight the Big Three alone in overtime.
Although it was difficult, Zhao Chen had no right to complain. He was in the best condition in this game. Brooks also gave him the ball in the last attack, but he failed to complete the buzzer beater. Instead, Westbrook had to pay a foul penalty. Down!
Now the team can only rely on him.
As Zhao Chen expected, the Heat failed to complete the last attack without a timeout, and the game entered overtime.
From the buzzer beater to forced overtime, Thunder fans experienced a feeling from heaven to hell.
"Damn, this game is so good."
"The Big Three of the Heat are really awesome. The Thunder have fought like this and they haven't lost yet."
"Yeah, Zhao Chen already scored 58 points, tsk tsk."
"The Heat are actually not afraid of teams with superstars playing alone. They are afraid of team teams like the Spurs and Mavericks. It is difficult for three-person basketball to defeat five-person basketball. Of course, the Heat's Big Three also broke out tonight. .”
"LeBron scored 40 points, Dwayne scored 35 points, Bosh scored 22 points, the terrifying Big Three!"
Before overtime begins, both teams have a two-minute break.
Brooks was nervously arranging tactics.
The Thunder's Big Three scored a combined 103 points tonight, accounting for most of the team's scoring. They gave everything they had.
If he loses this game, Brooks can't imagine how much it will affect the team's morale.
But looking at Durant who couldn't play and Westbrook who was sent off, Brooks was full of helplessness.
Brooks also knows that Zhao Chen still has some physical fitness, so basically all offensive tactics are given to him.
The Heat still have a huge advantage overall. James and Wade don't have much physical problems, but Bosh is also on the verge of a physical crisis, but he can still persist.
This overtime was really difficult for the Thunder.
All the pressure and responsibility fell on Zhao Chen.
.......
jump ball.
Bosh couldn't jump very well, so Ibaka passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball slowly.
Zhao Chen broke in with the help of Ibaka's screen, but his layup was interfered with...
Zhao Chen's shooting percentage also dropped under the repeated attacks from James and Wade.
In the subsequent waves of attacks, Zhao Chen's efficiency was not high, but Zhao Chen completed assists to Ibaka and Adams.
It's just that such a score is of no avail to the hot Heat!
The Heat's offensive efficiency is too high. James and Wade's breakthroughs either cause damage or two plus one.
The game came to 40 seconds, the score came to 126 to 133, and the Heat's lead came to 7 points!
During the overtime period, the Thunder basically couldn't guard the Heat.
Brooks stopped the game.
Seeing such a huge score difference, some fans at the scene gradually stood up and began to leave.
Zhao Chen, who was on the sidelines, gritted his teeth unwillingly and looked at the scoreboard.
There are still 40 seconds left, and as long as there is still time, he doesn't want to give up!
