28 seconds.
The Heat chose to call a timeout to set up the situation.
On the other hand, Zhao Chen chose to take action in such a hurry to attack. Even if the Heat scored the ball in the next round, the Thunder still had the power to counterattack.
"It's easier to cross you than to cross the road." After Zhao Chen heard the timeout whistle, he turned back and shouted to James.
James did not respond to Zhao Chen, his face expressionless.
Zhao Chen found that his trash talk was useless. For James, such level of trash talk could not disrupt his state.
Zhao Chen probably figured out the pattern. Trash talk by top super giants is useless if it is not at the level of turning one's back.
If he attacks James' mother and West's relationship, Zhao Chen thinks it will be effective for James.
But that's a lack of ethics, and Zhao Chen wouldn't do such a thing.
The fans at the scene continued to cheer. This was a rare and critical moment in the finals.
In the first four games, neither team reached such a critical moment.
The atmosphere at the scene felt suffocating!
"James is great, and Zhao Chen is not bad either. No wonder some media say that James wants to join forces with Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen's contract is about to expire, and then the teams will be in trouble again."
"I think it is unlikely that Zhao Chen will leave the Thunder. As long as he joins forces with Westbrook and Durant, even if there is no championship this year, the championship will be a matter of time."
"I have to say that Zhao Chen's offensive skills are outstanding. Every time Durant is absent, Zhao Chen can always live up to expectations."
"I hope Zhao Chen will not get injured again, the Thunder needs him."
"Zhao Chen played well in the playoffs and beat almost all the players who defended him."
"Zhao Chen is the most Jordan-like rising star after Kobe. He has a super high basketball IQ, super scoring ability, and good defensive ability. Especially his leadership temperament, he is so similar to the basketball god back then."
....
Domestic fans' comments and barrages have also reached their peak at this moment.
Fans are not surprised that Zhao Chen can score such a key goal, because Zhao Chen has scored too many such goals.
Of course, what attracts fans to Zhao Chen is not only his key goals, but also his age and temperament. Everything about him makes fans feel very trendy.
Unlike old-school stars, Zhao Chen is more similar to young people. Zhao Chen likes to play social media and often posts on Weibo and Twitter.
On Weibo and Twitter, Zhao Chen rarely discusses training content, but more often shares his beautiful girlfriend, discusses celebrities’ gossip and scandals, etc.
This makes fans feel that Zhao Chen is not a star who keeps boring training.
But Zhao Chen's statements do not mean that he is not working hard.
The results of his efforts can be reflected on the playing field.
Before this game, a reporter asked Zhao Chen why he posted a lot on social media while recovering from injuries.
Zhao Chen's answer was: "Life is not just about basketball. I am just like ordinary people. I like to tweet, play games, and date my girlfriend..."
Fans especially like this real Zhao Chen.
Bench.
Brooks is constantly arranging defensive tasks. He only has 28 seconds. As long as he can prevent the Heat's attack, he will have a chance to win.
In the commentary box, McBreen and Van Gundy's hearts were beating very fast. The intensity of this game exceeded their expectations.
Neither team had such a tense moment in the first four games. G2 was intense, but far from thrilling!
The pause was over quickly.
There was no adjustment in the personnel of both sides, and Durant's position was taken by Robertson.
The most important thing for the Thunder right now is defense.
James slowly dribbled over.
Everyone can see that the Heat are ready to suppress time. Even if they fail to score, they will not give the Thunder too much offensive time to deal with them.
Zhao Chen mainly defended James, and Robertson went to guard Wade.
Zhao Chen had to defend his opponent's strongest offensive point by himself.
At the top of the arc, James looked calm.
At eight seconds, Bosh and Lewis came up at the same time.
This is a bull's-eye tactic!
James wanted to break through, but was blocked by Robertson.
"boom!"
Huge physical confrontation, Robertson's defense was very clean.
This time the referee didn't call the block!
James didn't break the Thunder's defense at the last moment, so does he have any other options?
of course not!
James instinctively chose to play!
James passed the ball back to Bosh to handle.
Bosh's position is between the free throw line and the three-point line.
Time is running out, and he wants to take a shot after receiving the pass.
but!
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen's precise hand cut off Bosh's ball.
Zhao Chen completed the steal.
When everyone thought Zhao Chen would control the ball, he immediately chose to time out.
Zhao Chen took the ball and rushed forward at high speed.
Keep moving forward.
Brooks clenched his fists and did not call to stop the game!
The reason why Zhao Chen launched the attack was because the only defensive player he saw ahead was Ray Allen.
"boom!"
"Whoosh!"
Ray Allen didn't dare to foul, Zhao Chen changed directions at high speed without slowing down!
Zhao Chen passed Ray Allen in a cool way.
James and Wade frantically gritted their teeth and chased Zhao Chen.
Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene couldn't help shouting, Zhao Chen was racing against time.
After reaching the three-point line, Zhao Chen stepped on the ground to collect the ball and took three steps!
James chased Zhao Chen from behind.
However, he couldn't catch up.
Zhao Chen took the lead and pushed the ball into the basket! !
Zhao Chen did not choose to put the basket up. If he had put it up, the ball would most likely be batted away by James.
After completing a simple chop, Zhao Chen was knocked down again by James who was trying to chase him from behind.
But this time Zhao Chen was prepared. Zhao Chen fell to the ground to release his strength and was not injured again!
The fans at the scene cheered, and everyone's heartbeats reached their highest level.
114 to 116.
It's not a buzzer-beater, but it's a near-win!
There are only 1.1 seconds left, and the Heat have no timeouts.
Zhao Chen risked his life and stood up to defend himself.
Bosh, who came back, quickly served to Ray Allen in the distance.
Ray Allen received the ball without any hesitation and hurriedly shot a buzzer-beating three-pointer from half court!
"frame!"
The basketball hit the rim and bounced high! !
“Buzz!!!”
competition is over!
The Thunder successfully won G5, and Zhao Chen killed the game!
No one could have imagined that before 5 points, the Heat still held a 10-point lead, and then the final result was that the Thunder had the last laugh.
"GOGOGO, incredible. After Zhao Chen stole the ball, he completed the race against time and avoided James' block and dunked successfully!!"
"Accurate kill! Accurate kill!! Zhao Chen once again completed the kill. Unbelievable, unbelievable! The Thunder's efforts were not in vain. Ray Allen's buzzer-beating three-pointer finally missed. The Thunder finished two games behind. Big score reversal!"
"3 to 2, the Thunder are only one step away from the championship. At this moment, Lahoma City, Ohio is in a carnival!!"
Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly in the studio! !
On the court, Zhao Chen raised his hands high to welcome the jumping hugs of his teammates!
Westbrook, Durant, Robertson, Adams and others almost knocked Zhao Chen down.
They came back from two games behind to win three games in a row, and it wasn't until this night that they gained a series advantage over the mighty Big Three!
It's all so hard! !
