"The Heat will win."
"There is no hope for this game. The Thunder are 7 points behind. The Heat have the last laugh in this peak showdown."
"There's not much time left for the Thunder."
"Today the Thunder showed their strength and style, especially Zhao Chen. Let us pay tribute to these young people. If they complete their adjustment in the future, they will have a high chance of reaching the top."
"Zhao performed very well in regular time, but after entering overtime he stretched his crotch."
Several commentators on TNT sentenced the Thunder to death. No one thought that there would be a miracle. Two Thunder players who were good at creating miracles sat off the court, and the game was dead in overtime. The Thunder had no hope of a comeback.
Has the NBA ever come back from being so far behind?
Yes, McGrady moment.
However, the reason why McGrady’s moment is great is because it only happened once in the long history of the NBA.
Tonight? Not too possible.
"Hey, I worked hard all night, but overtime ended."
"There's no way, there's only one Zhao Chen, and the Heat's defense is too good."
"Zhao Chen is also very tired. It is no longer easy to persist in this game until now."
"Zhao Chen's score in overtime was still 0, and his touch was just average."
"If Durant and Westbrook had given Hauler more strength in regular time tonight, the game would have been won."
"This game was so exciting. I look forward to the finals showdown between the two teams."
"That's it for today, I have to go have lunch with my girlfriend."
Some fans on the Internet also clicked on the cross in the upper right corner...
During the timeout, the Thunder bench was quiet, and Brooks wanted to give up.
Westbrook and Durant said nothing on the bench.
In this game, they did not help Zhao Chen in overtime, which caused the Thunder to fall into such a passive situation.
Zhao Chen noticed that the team's mood was wrong, and he took the initiative to stand up and said: "The game is not about to give up yet, give me the ball."
Zhao Chen scored 58 points tonight. Regardless of the final result, he can leave with his head held high.
However, he didn't want to leave like this.
He wants to win, and if he loses the game, no matter how good the data is, it means nothing.
Zhao Chen knew that the commentators could give up, the fans could give up, and the coaches could give up, but they themselves could not give up. This game had a glimmer of hope.
"There's still time."
"Don't give up easily."
"There is still hope!"
Zhao Chen's tone and eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was conveying to everyone his obsession with not losing.
Looking at Zhao Chen's eyes, Brooks patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder.
Brooks couldn't bear to say that there was not enough time to prepare for the next game.
The only thing missing from this game was the referee's whistle.
Brooks said: "Immediately serve to Zhao, and then the nearest player will cover Zhao. If Zhao makes a shot, he will execute a foul tactic."
Brooks didn't say what the consequences would be if he missed the shot.
Everyone has a tacit understanding that if the shot fails, the game will be over!
This is the final struggle.
After hearing Zhao Chen's words and the head coach's arrangement, the Thunder barely managed to take a breath, and the players replied: "OK!"
Compared with the Heat, the Thunder's greatest asset is their youth.
Then their desire to win the championship was even more urgent than the Heat's now.
Although this game won't affect their regular season rankings much, they just don't want to lose to their direct competitors.
Most of the Thunder players didn't know how to win even if they made this three-pointer. They just took the lead and followed Zhao Chen and Brooks to the end.
[Cang, the host’s long-range shooting attribute +1]
This is not the first time that Zhao Chen has improved his strength in the competition.
What has been improved this time is the long-range shot that he is best at.
Is it enough to just increase it a little?
Regardless of whether it’s enough or not, just fight for it.
Standing on the court again, Zhao Chen felt calm inside.
Looking at Durant and Westbrook who were helpless and a little lonely off the court.
This was the first time Zhao Chen saw Wang Zha's group showing such expressions.
Perhaps only the Big Three of the Heat can make these two people feel this helpless feeling.
The game is the most cruel. Even if you are a genius, sometimes you have to bear the pain of losing when you want to win.
In 40 seconds, Zhao Chen didn't know if he could reverse it, but he just wanted to fight in the end.
The fans at the scene were leaving one after another, and the die-hard fans at home were no longer shouting.
The fans basically gave up on this game.
The Miami Heat players on the court also instinctively relaxed a little.
It's not just the Thunder players who are tired;
Zhao Chen chose to catch the ball from the baseline and rush forward at high speed.
Wade wanted to guard Zhao Chen, but his speed couldn't keep up with the regular time, and he couldn't keep up with Zhao Chen.
Ibaka and Adams formed a covering wall on Zhao Chen's route to cross the half court, helping Zhao Chen cross the half court.
At a 45-degree position on the right, Qian Moss was closely following Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen was not too hasty, but after a change of direction, combined with a large step forward, he opened up the space between him and Chalmers, and quickly took action!
Qianmos was too far away from Zhao Chen's retreat, and he couldn't pounce on him.
"Another damn step back." James chewed his braces and cursed.
Zhao Chen's step back has a smooth rhythm and his shooting form is very standard.
The basketball also draws a beautiful arc.
"Uh-huh!"
129 to 133.
4 points difference and 33 seconds left!
"Ohhhhh!!!"
Zhao Chen's three-pointer immediately helped the Thunder players get full of blood.
Fans at the scene also screamed.
This is the first time Zhao Chen has scored in overtime.
"Nice shot!!"
"quick!"
"Steal quickly!"
The fans were shouting excitedly.
The point difference cannot be recovered in one round.
Either he steals the ball successfully, or he has to commit a foul.
The Heat's serve is very sophisticated.
Although Adams, Ibaka, Robertson, Zhao Chen, and Sefolosha all used high-intensity pressing methods.
But they still sent the ball out and gave it to Wade.
Obviously, the Heat don't think serving is a worldwide problem.
There is no Polish center on their team.
Zhao Chen and Robertson tried to flank Wade.
But Wade was very experienced. He protected the ball very steadily and was not intercepted. Robertson knocked Wade down.
Robertson's action in stealing the ball was too large, and the referee called a foul.
The NBA referee's whistle is very sensitive at the last moment. As long as the interception of the ball involves a physical collision and he considers it a foul tactic, the ball holder will basically be sent to the free throw line.
28 seconds.
Five seconds passed between the attempted steal and the foul whistle.
Wade's career free throw shooting percentage is only 76%, which is at a lower-middle level among guards.
But at this critical moment, he made two free throws steadily!
129 to 135
After making the free throw, Wade puffed his cheeks, nodded and smiled at Zhao Chen.
Wade could see that Zhao Chen had not given up yet.
He likes to see this kind of scene where a powerful opponent is unwilling to give up, but is ultimately unable to change the final result.
