The Denver Nuggets have a pretty good record so far this season, winning 6 out of 12 games, with a winning rate of exactly 50%. If they were in the East, the Denver Nuggets could be ranked fifth, but in the West, they could barely Ranked 8th in the Western Conference, tied with the 9th-place Utah Jazz.
"Dead West" has been rolling since the beginning of the season.
Speaking of which, the rankings of the teams where the "three geniuses" belong are exactly the opposite of what the media predicted at the beginning of the season.
They originally predicted that the Cavaliers would be ranked the highest and could enter the playoffs. However, they are now sitting in the 13th position in the Eastern Conference and will soon be the deputy squad leader of the Eastern Conference.
The Heat, who were originally supposed to be ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference, are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference. Except for the Pacers, who are first in the Eastern Conference, they "see all the mountains and small mountains" in the Eastern Conference.
The title of "dark horse" has been placed on this team's head.
But for this game, Stan Van Gundy looked solemn.
The Nuggets' starting big man is Nene paired with Marcus Camby.
Nene was last year's rookie, the 7th pick in the first round, higher than Stoudemire, the eventual "Rookie of the Year" award winner. His rookie season averages were also impressive, averaging 10.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. This season, due to the arrival of Anthony, the data has not increased much, but so far, he is still averaging 11.5 points, 7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
Especially these 2.5 assists, there are not many players who can provide such a high number of assists inside.
Marcus Camby is the second pick in the first round of the "96 golden generation" and a defensive gate player. The highest scoring season he averaged was 14.8 points per game. This was during his rookie season when he had a lot of tactical finishing positions with the Raptors. After leaving the Raptors, his highest scoring season averaged only 12 points per game. After joining the Nuggets, his tactical status further deteriorated, and he failed to score in double figures in the last two seasons.
This was related to the fact that he suffered a serious injury.
However, he still averaged 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game.
The most important thing is that the height of these two people is 2.11 meters.
The Heat are very afraid of teams with such height inside.
After all, the premise of "anti-counterattack tactics" is firstly successful defense, and secondly getting rebounds!
That is to say...
He turned his gaze to Woody.
In this game, we have to rely on this kid's "monster speed" to ensure rebounds.
Before the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Woody.
Not only Woody, they also want Wade to come for an exclusive interview.
Originally, this was difficult to do. Tonight was Miami's home game and it was "Live Broadcast across the United States." There were too many media waiting to interview these two people. Usually, at times like this, they would conduct separate interviews to save time. Make sure that as many media outlets as possible have interviews.
But who let Woody speak?
Wade soon sat next to Woody. His honest and courteous appearance always made people feel that he would be defrauded of 3.47 million by his ex-wife.
The interview officially started, and Woody now also knew the reason why Su Qun and Director Zhang asked them to interview together.
During this period, Woody has become more and more popular in China. Just like Francis is now the "Big Brother" known to Chinese fans, Wade has also become popular.
Domestic fans also gave them a group name, called...
"Mighty combination"!
By the way...
When Woody looked at the killing stick handed over by Director Zhang and Su Qun, he said it was outrageous.
Of course, Woody has encountered gifts more outrageous than this before.
They were fans from China. When they saw him and Wade, each of them stuffed a wooden fish into their hands and told them to knock them more because they were an "immoral" group...
There are Woody and Wade's respective numbers on the two wooden fish.
Woody looked at the ecstatic face, and it took a lot of effort to swallow back the words "Don't love too much".
What made Woody even more helpless was that Wade next to him was looking at him with clear eyes, waiting for him to explain the relationship between the "killing stick" and "powerful".
When I was learning tactics, why didn't I see this guy being so curious about knowledge?
The interview was conducted next to the court and stopped halfway through.
because……
Heat fans entered the stadium early, and now 70% to 80% of the seats in the entire auditorium were filled.
They didn't see Woody for four or five days and they missed him very much.
Regardless of booing at the Nuggets players, there were cheers for Woody from all directions.
Director Zhang and Su Qun looked at each other and had no choice but to end the interview first.
Su Qun nodded in recognition towards Woody: "You have really changed this city too much. Come on tonight and try to perform better than Carmelo Anthony!"
At this time, the big screen at the scene gave the starting lineups for both sides tonight.
The Heat have not changed their lineup and are still the regular lineup.
For the Nuggets, in addition to Nene and Camby inside, their small forward position is Carmelo Anthony, who is also one of the "three geniuses" with Woody, and the back line is led by Andre Miller. Composed by Wash-Leonard.
Andre Miller was the 8th overall pick in the first round of 1999 and was selected by the Cavaliers.
Entering his third season in the NBA, he averaged 16.5 points and 10 assists per game, entering his personal peak, and won the "assist king" that season.
It was just that LeBron James suddenly emerged, forcing the Cleveland Cavaliers to give up this "quasi-star" who had already become a first-line point guard in the league and sent it to the Clippers.
If they are trained normally, then this season's Cavaliers have Ricky Davis, Big Z and Andre Miller. Regardless of how high they climb in the Eastern Conference, there should be no problem in reaching the playoffs.
It can only be said that Cavaliers owner Gilbert has greater ambitions.
It doesn't matter whether you make it to the playoffs or not, having a "son of the city" is more important!
Leonard was a second-round pick in 1994.
Players who can make it out of the second round, no matter how talented they are, must have a unique skill that can survive in the league. Leonard is such a "unique skill brother".
He is a very solid pitcher!
Speaking of which, people in this city are very familiar with him, because Leonard was a second-round pick from this city.
At that time, Pat Riley selected him in the second round and gave him enough opportunities to prove himself.
From this point of view, Pat Riley's tradition of "picking up leaks" has been around for a long time.
Leonard is one, last year's Russell Butler is another, and this year's Haslem looks like he is about to become another "dark horse" among the Heat's "undrafted".
So far, he's averaging 12.3 minutes per game.
He didn't have much time, and his statistics weren't very good, averaging only 4.5 points and 2.25 rebounds per game, but his enthusiasm left a deep impression on everyone. Including Stan Van Gundy has gradually been conquered by him, and his playing time has gradually increased recently.
This is because the Heat have too many players of this style...
Haslem, Gerald Wallace, and Odom were also much more active on the court.
The Heat now have a nickname, called the "Miami Wolves!"
Minnesota is very dissatisfied with this, but has no choice. Who makes them have only one howling "Wolf King" on the team now?
In terms of temperament and image, the Miami group is indeed more like a "pack of wolves".
When the host introduced his name, there was a small cheer. These are old fans of the Heat. They remember this inspirational second-round pick who contributed to the Heat in the 1990s.
It can be seen from the Nuggets' lineup configuration: a stable and traditional No. 1 position, a No. 2 position that can open up the space, plus blue-collar players inside who can grab rebounds but not have the ability to hold the ball...
Their selection of Carmelo Anthony, who has outstanding singles ability in the draft, is definitely not a helpless choice, but a long-planned choice.
Therefore, if the "No. 1 pick" in 2003 does not belong to the Cavaliers, then it is really hard to say who the "No. 1 pick" in 2003 belongs to!
The game then officially begins.
Nene, who was playing away from home, took the lead for the team.
Andre Miller carries the ball to the frontcourt.
He belongs to the old-school No. 1 position, with solid organizational skills and passing and controlling abilities, but he also has very good offensive abilities with the ball. Known as "Mr. Little Basic Skills".
The key is that like Tim Duncan, he has very good physical fitness.
Although he is 1.88 meters tall, he once performed a brutal scene of dunking the "shot-blocking king" Ratliff.
But more often than not, like Tim Duncan, who only likes to play at a 45-degree angle, he always ends the offense with a mediocre layup.
If you can lay up, you will never dunk. If you can pass, you will never play in isolation.
Faced with such a veteran No. 1 position, Stan Van Gundy decisively placed Eddie Jones opposite him. Let Wade, who is young and clear-eyed, defend Leonard at the second position opposite.
Eddie Jones is 1.98 meters tall, just one size larger than Miller. This size advantage makes Andre Miller uncomfortable. Because his speed advantage cannot be fully utilized.
He decisively gave up singles and called on Nene to start a pick-and-roll.
The quality of this pick and roll is very good.
In the first step of bypassing the screen, Miller reached full explosive power and rushed to the basket.
Woody came up first and took out a handful, then turned back to Anthony.
Odom followed with a second-tier delay.
But his movement was too obvious. As he came up, Miller quickly hit the ground and passed the ball. Marcus Camby caught the ball behind him and successfully completed the score at the basket.
2-0!
A classic "internal and external cooperation".
Stan Van Gundy smacked his mouth in dissatisfaction.
Odom's defensive habits are terrible.
In fact, before the game, he was thinking whether it would be better to use Woody at the fourth position and Gerald Wallace at the third position...
But in the next round, Odom proved his presence.
Facing Nene from outside the three-point line, he began to show the mobility that a player who is not the height of an inside line possesses. Gradually occupying a position during the confrontation, near the high post on the right, Odom stuck out his tongue and left Nene behind. After attracting Marcus Camby's attack, he hit the ball towards the right, where A figure quickly rushed towards the basket.
It’s the Heat’s No. 95!
"Bang!"
Odom's timely pass allowed Woody to successfully perform a "one-arm dunk".
The whole coordination was extremely smooth, as if we had cooperated many times.
This has indeed gradually become a common "scenery" in Heat games.
Odom is a person who can't pass the ball to anyone as coolly as passing the ball to Woody.
Spoelstra believes that this is called "two kinds of people can't sleep in the same room."
The reason why Woody and Odom work so well together is purely because the two of them always sleep in the same room when playing away games.
2-2 flat.
Odom, who had just finished exerting his strength, became a breakthrough on the defensive end. Nene caught the ball under the basket. Using him as a "axis", he turned around and "put the basket into the frame", and the ball easily fell into the basket. .
"It's okay, we will also find their breakthrough point to fight!"
Woody comforted Odom and patted him on the shoulder.
At this time, Odom also remembered what Woody said after reading the scouting report on the Nuggets yesterday.
Thinking about his attack in that round just now, there was still a little doubt in his eyes, but he still did what Woody said. Facing Nene with the ball, after breaking through, he watched Camby defend in front of him.
There was a sudden burst of joy.
Sure enough, he made it up again!
Marcus Camby is obsessed with blocking shots, which often results in him being out of position during the game. ——This is the advice Woody gave Odom after analyzing the Nuggets' data.
He believed that Odom could play more with Camby in this game, deliberately luring him to come up to cover the defense, and take the opportunity to pass the ball and assist.
In the first round, Odom subconsciously did what Woody said and didn't realize it, so he was a little late-minded. But looking at Camby in front of him at this moment, he firmly believed in Woody's analysis. .
Not surprised at all, but a "no-look pass" that was well prepared, this time it was Grant under the basket.
"Bang!"
Another dunk!
Nuggets coach Bzdelik showed his hands toward Camby helplessly.
In the past, he always asked the players on the field to actively cover up defense. Since meeting Marcus Camby, the sentence he emphasized the most is now: "Man, you don't need to cover up this ball, you can just settle it." Just guard your position under the basket with peace of mind!"
Canby looked at him, but his heart made a sound, obviously disagreeing with his statement.
Blocking is a matter of probability. The number of blocks I can complete if I go up to defend a hundred times is definitely different from the number of blocks I can complete if I go up and defend 50 times.
If you want to block more shots, you must work hard to make up defense every time!
Otherwise, how do you think the average of 2.5 blocks per game came from?
This is the biggest feeling Camby has had in his four-year career with the New York Knicks. The New York media and fans only care about statistics. As long as you play excellent statistics, they will think you are awesome. Otherwise, no matter how diligent you are in your career, It's useless to make up for defense or assist in defense. Without data, you just rely on defense.
Especially after relying on data to win an average annual contract of 8 million, Camby believed that his idea had no problem.
On the contrary, he felt that coach Bzdelik had a big problem.
This is preventing him from getting a big contract!
So Canby always listened to his words in reverse.
The less he is allowed to make up the defense, the more he will have to make up the defense!
Anyway, if there is a problem with the Nuggets' interior defense, he would say that I average 2.5 blocks per game, ranking 7th in the league!
Remember, data doesn’t lie!
Both sides struck with precision from the start, and at the same time, the problems exposed by both sides could not be covered up by simple adjustments. The score went up quickly in this game.
In the past few games of the Heat, except for the "pure bad game" with the Bulls, this game has the fastest increase.
The "two geniuses" who were the focus before the game had little chance to perform during this process.
Andre Miller is too stable. He rarely makes any rash passes. He basically looks for someone in the outside circle to support him, or goes to the basket to "hand-off" the ball. It was also because his style of play was so solid that the Cavaliers chose to trade him.
Are you good at playing ball?
Knowing how to spank is of no use!
If your playing style attracts fans and sells tickets, then you really know how to play!
This is most intuitively reflected in "White Chocolate" and Bibby.
The "White Devil" allowed the Kings to truly transform and become the dominant force in the Western Conference at the time. The playoff game with the Lakers could even be said to be the most difficult series on Shaquille O'Neal's road to "three consecutive championships".
But many Sacramento Kings fans still dislike him.
I think this guy who is ordinary and plays the game strictly does not have the temperament of a "gorgeous king".
However, such players are often liked by coaches.
For example, at this moment, the Nuggets head coach looked at Andre Miller with almost loving eyes.
His steady passing makes the Nuggets' offensive end always happen "suddenly". Even if Woody can rush for rebounds, it is really difficult to complete the offensive rebounds in such a short time.
Carmelo Anthony didn't have many opportunities to perform either.
The Nuggets mainly play around Andre Miller and distribute the offensive ball around him. When the offense is going well, Anthony's frequency of attacking with the ball is often not too high, and singles too affect the rotation of the ball.
But this is also the reason why the Nuggets can reach the playoffs from the "Devil West".
The Cavaliers, a team with the "three geniuses" who regard rookies as their core, are currently in a mess, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. So think about it, is it a lineup problem or a core problem?
The ones organizing and distributing the ball on the Heat's side are not Woody and Wade.
At least the ball isn't in someone's hands all the time.
At 8 minutes and 34 seconds in the first quarter, Carmelo Anthony scored only 4 points tonight, which was very efficient. He made 2 of 4 shots, all of which were shooting shots. He threw enough tonight. .
"Bang!"
Woody received a pass from Odom again in the next round and completed a dunk, raising his score in the game to 6 points.
The scene was detonated again.
Woody took 3 shots tonight, all from Odom's passes.
No second offense has been scored yet.
The rebound data also reflects this. 4 rebounds, all backcourt rebounds.
So far he has not grabbed the first offensive rebound of the game.
I have to praise Andre Miller again for his stability.
Spoelstra looked at the score of 25 to 28, 3 points behind, and silently recorded the Heat's biggest weakness in his notebook:
Rhythm!
Originally, like Stan Van Gundy, he believed that the Heat were afraid of teams with tall inside players.
Now it seems that they are more afraid of opponents with a stable number one position than tall insiders.
The rhythm was kept suppressed, and this cautious pass made Woody dare not approach the basket at will.
Look at it this way, if the opponent's outside shooting ability is not available, the problem will not be so big...
Wade has already rested off the court at this time. He is responsible for connecting the bench rotation stage and chasing points with Caron Butler. Although his brilliance cannot catch up with Woody, in this team, his offensive ability with the ball is indeed the top one in the team.
But at this moment, watching Odom and Woody complete a beautiful "alley-oop cooperation", which caused huge cheers at the scene, he couldn't help but think of the pre-game interview when the Chinese reporter told him that he and Woody were now "mighty" Combination", and a "killing stick"...
Since it is CP!
Could he have less on-field interaction with Woody than others?
This is definitely not possible!
And when he looked at the cooperation between Odom and Woody, he didn't think there was anything difficult about it. It just didn't matter if he didn't have hands?
He decided that he and Woody would cooperate like this tonight and set off the night sky in Miami.
At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led by 3 points until the end.
But the Heat have proven with their bench rotation why they are second in the Eastern Conference.
Wade plus Caron Butler, the "scoring explosiveness" of this combination can directly "ask the bench" of the other 28 teams in the league.
The Nuggets' starting lineup is still very complete, but it is difficult for anyone to stand up on the bench.
In addition, the main player on the Nuggets' bench is a bit special. Their main player on the bench is Boykins, who is only 1.60 meters tall.
His offense is very form-hungry.
His condition was obviously not very good tonight.
In addition, Wade and Caron Butler's offensive tonight was too fierce, and he seemed even more impatient for a long time.
At 3 minutes and 24 seconds of the second quarter, the Nuggets were forced to change into the starting lineup early.
At this moment, the Heat, who were 3 points behind at the end of the first quarter, had evened the difference and were 4 points ahead.
This means that during this period, the Heat won by 7 points!
In this case, can the Nuggets not bring the starting lineup back to the court?
Carmelo Anthony showed off his clutch ability.
Even though this is only his first month in the NBA, he has long been accustomed to playing the role of "key ball" after winning the NCAA single-core championship.
At 4 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, he hit a three-pointer to bring the Heat's starting lineup back to the court.
In the first round, Wade broke through with the ball, and his determination was beyond Andre Miller's expectation. This caused him to miss the opportunity to open up space behind him. During the confrontation, he was pushed aside by Wade.
Wade, who broke through Miller's defense, subconsciously glanced at Woody next to him.
With just this clear look in his eyes, Woody immediately realized that this guy wanted to cooperate with him.
He, who had been running all the time, took a step and tricked Cameron into stopping. He immediately used his strength and rushed towards the basket quickly.
Nice shake off!
Woody went straight to the basket, and Odom pulled Nene away for him.
Camby was the only one left under the basket.
Camby didn't notice the "one against two" situation. He saw Wade in front of him suddenly giving the ball to his side.
The ball bounced up and fell into the hands of Woody who rushed in.
It's a very sensitive position, but Camby remains oblivious.
In his eyes, there is only the ball!
until……
He threw himself in front of Woody, who was already leaping high into the air.
The height of the jump was a little higher than he imagined.
At this time he finally reacted.
Forget about blocking shots!
It’s better to think about your own situation!
"Bang!"
The dunk gave him the answer.
The huge impact knocked him directly off the baseline.
He was still moving but did not jump up. The cheers at the scene were also mixed with the referee's decisive whistle.
"beep!"
No. 23 of the Nuggets blocked a foul.
The Heat's goal No. 95 is valid, and there is an extra penalty!
"Woody!"
"Woody!"
"Woody!"
The ball was so powerful that even after the cheers, the Miamians at the scene still felt unsatisfied, and they all shouted Woody's name.
Cheers of unity filled the entire American Airlines Arena.
Su Qun quickly recorded this scene. Later, he wrote an article specifically for this picture called:
You can see the power of China!
Wade listened to these shouts and showed a somewhat satisfied smile.
Woody must have a share of the credit for this buckle!
Without his passing, how would this dunk be possible?
So at this moment, he felt somewhat proud!
Camby stared blankly as Woody walked to the free throw line. He had not yet reacted to the dunk.
The rest of the Nuggets also had subtle expressions on their faces. Woody's dunk and the cheers from the audience tilted the entire momentum toward the Heat.
Carmelo Anthony's expression was more serious. He wanted to play a big scene like Woody's just now as soon as possible to help the Nuggets regain their momentum.
Except the Nuggets head coach secretly showed a "happy" expression.
Let you make up for it again!
Have you been detained?
Should!
I can’t hold you to death!
"Uh-huh!"
Woody hit the shot steadily.
The point difference expanded to 3 points again.
It's not just Carmelo Anthony who wants to help the team stabilize the situation, but also Miller.
He used his skillful post-up play and quietly called for Nene's pick-and-roll.
Jones focused on the confrontation with Miller. When the latter suddenly turned around, he caught up with the rhythm immediately, but as soon as he started moving to the right, he hit a "human wall."
Miller successfully escaped and made a mid-range jump shot, but was slapped away by Jones who came around again.
This scene caused another round of cheers at the scene.
Jones' pursuit of the ball made them wet.
Stan Van Gundy nodded slightly, with surprise filling every drop of grease on his face. Jones was not a very motivated player to begin with. This kind of scene where he desperately went around the screen to pursue the defense after being picked and rolled would never have appeared on his face in the past. On the body.
But this time, he did just that.
"Obviously, in a passionate team, he also became passionate!"
The ball fell into the hands of Carmelo Anthony. There was less than 3 seconds left before the 24-second attack time countdown. Woody reached out to interfere and accurately judged that Anthony would definitely take a direct shot after getting the ball.
It's just that his hand almost poked into Anthony's eyes, but this guy still hit the three-pointer at the buzzer!
The score difference was tied again.
This time, it was Carmelo Anthony's turn to make people sigh... Woody had just completed a "stunning dunk", and here Carmelo Anthony kept up with the extremely difficult "Dunk". "Buzzer-beating three-pointer"!
"These are...three, two great geniuses!"
Carmelo Anthony and Woody only used one offense to show their full talents.
They may not be able to interfere with the direction of the game now, but in certain important rounds, when talent needs to be used to solve offense or defense, they are still the most solid choices among their respective teams!
This was also proven in the final moments of the game.
13 points in the final 35 seconds of the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets and Heat have been fighting for a whole game, and the score is still anxious.
The Heat relied on Jones' long-range three-pointer to overtake a 1-point deficit and temporarily lead by 2 points.
The ball comes to the Nuggets.
Jones has been guarding Miller for a whole game. After all, he is a player who has entered the "best defense" several times. His defensive ability is beyond doubt. Even though he has fallen from his peak, his energy in this game is as high as ever. Never had it before. He gradually got used to Miller's breakthrough rhythm. This time he defended very well. Miller looked for breakthrough opportunities several times, but Jones broke his rhythm at the moment he exerted his strength.
The attack time quickly fell below the last 10 seconds.
The noise throughout the scene became louder and louder, and the Heat's defensive initiative became stronger and stronger.
Jones took the initiative and prepared to force a steal.
Miller, who had always been steady, lost his rhythm and kept turning around, barely protecting the ball. When he caught a glimpse of his teammate, he quickly passed the ball.
The one with the ball is...
Carmelo Anthony!
Turn around and jump, one step ahead of the free throw line, and jump directly.
The ball drew a perfect arc and simply fell into the basket.
The score was tied again with the time falling below the last 20 seconds.
Anthony once again pulled the Nuggets to safety.
However, the Heat did not call a timeout. Stan Van Gundy chose to trust the Heat players, and Woody served the ball directly to Wade.
The Heat's No. 3, who had the ball in hand, rushed straight towards the frontcourt regardless of the situation.
The rest of the Heat team started running after him.
The Heat's "wolf pack" ran their favorite rhythm.
The Nuggets quickly returned to defense.
Seeing no chance, Jones asked Wade to steady the rhythm.
While Wade slowed down, he glanced at Woody again.
Woody understood and began to try to cut to the basket.
But this time Carmelo Anthony really used all his strength to follow, and kept blocking positions with Woody.
"When have you ever seen Carmelo Anthony like this!"
There is no doubt about Anthony's talent, but just like LeBron James is too immature now and Woody has no ability to hold the ball, Anthony also has exposed problems.
The biggest problem is that his court attitude is not very good, especially on the defensive end...
However, as far as this round is concerned, Anthony's attitude on the court is not good, mainly because he does not have a strong belief in winning. Whenever he encounters games that he must win, such as this game with the Heat, you can see if he has to work hard on the defensive end!
Woody couldn't cut toward the basket, and Wade could only head toward the basket.
"Bang!"
It's a pity that there aren't many changes in his breakthroughs at the moment. It may be that he was too nervous at the critical moment. This layup was a bit awkward. Camby's good prediction interfered with his shot.
The ball hit the rim and fell out.
Carmelo Anthony, who had been competing with Woody and interfering with Woody, made an "irrational" decision at this time. He actually...
Want to protect the backboard!
When Camby made the save and there were two Heat players under the basket, his idea of protecting the paint was fine.
But Anthony may have forgotten that he tried so hard to prevent the air-cutting to the basket. The guys who are among the "three geniuses" with him are the most phenomenal "board grabbers" this season!
If you give him space to rush for rebounds, you are giving him the rebound.
Anthony's positioning is theoretically better than Woody's, which is why he wants to protect the rebound. But his explosive power and bullet speed can only be considered first-class, not top-notch.
so……
"Snapped!"
Woody jumped high and completed the "melon picking" on the head of this "melon"!
The moment he landed, Woody immediately exerted his strength and jumped straight up.
Carmelo Anthony looked like he had seen a ghost.
It doesn’t matter if he takes off later than me, or if he lands faster than me, it doesn’t matter, but his “second takeoff” speed is so much faster than me. Carmelo Anthony, who had no choice but to watch Woody put the ball into the basket, could only reach out and foul.
"beep!"
The moment the referee blew the whistle, the cheers once again filled the entire arena.
Woody's name will obviously be the trigger for Miami style tonight.
because……
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
He gave the Heat the lead again!
However, the game was not over yet, and Woody just high-fived his teammates with a calm expression.
There are only 6.4 seconds left. The Nuggets still have one more chance to attack.
They also have a timeout and can serve at half court, so 6.4 seconds can be completely turned into a tactic.
Stan Van Gundy arranged the defense with a serious expression.
The good news is that the Nuggets' end point is easy to guess. The first is definitely Anthony, whose shooting at critical moments tonight is accurate; the second is Andre Miller, whose offensive skills are too comprehensive.
Everyone else is only responsible for "eating the pie."
So just guard against the two of them.
It's just that the Heat's immature side came out at this time. Jones didn't explain clearly to other teammates. As a result, when he stepped forward to double-team, others did not block him. As a result, Miller successfully broke through him.
Woody, who had been counting the time silently in his mind, watched him reach the high position smoothly. He hesitated for a moment and immediately stepped forward to block the ball. His movements were very large, as if he was deliberately trying to attract attention.
Miller noticed his coverage and immediately glanced over to find Carmelo Anthony opposite Woody.
But the moment he passed the ball, Woody smiled: "Sorry, you lost!"
Before Miller could react, he heard a "beep" and then the dazzling red light on the backboard came on.
Game time is officially over!
At this time, Carmelo Anthony had just gotten the ball.
Even if he adjusted his shot very quickly, he couldn't complete an effective shot when the red light came on.
This rookie...
Miller still doesn't understand the reason why this guy rushed towards him just now... This guy just wanted him to pass the ball!
But, he actually passed it on!
There is no other way. After attracting the defense, he finds an open teammate to take action, especially when this teammate is Cameron Anthony, and the one who pounces is Woody, a "defensive expert". This choice is definitely not wrong. It's just that he was too preoccupied with getting rid of Jones and didn't pay attention to the time. He thought 6 seconds was a long time, but 6 seconds was actually a short time.
And there is...
Are you being reasonable at the critical moment?
Do you call this reasonable?
What do you call...
"Snapped!"
Carmelo Anthony still made this invalid shot. The ball was approaching the basket. Woody jumped up high and grabbed the ball with one hand. At the same time, he raised his other hand high and made his current sign. Sexual “finger wagging” motion.
The audience's cheers were rising, and it was like a time bomb that was about to explode.
Kenny Smith looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "This reminds me of Auerbach!"
After the Celtics won the championship, Auerbach would always light a cigar on the sidelines. This was a classic moment in the NBA. The Celtics called this scene "lighting the victory cigar"!
What Kenny Smith wants to say is: "Miami also has a 'victory cigar' that belongs to this city!"
"Whenever there is a game night in this city, I believe that more and more fans will look forward to Woody raising his finger in the air and making a 'finger wagging' gesture at the end of the game because it represents them. Won another game!”
Originally, he thought Woody's move could not be more classic than Mutombo's.
But now, seeing the reaction caused by Woody's "finger wagging" and his intention of making this action, he had to admit that he was superficial!
As long as Woody is greater, then this action will definitely become a classic!
Barkley also said: "I think people in Miami are already looking forward to Woody making this move after the Heat win the first championship in team history!"
I don’t know when this day will come!
But Barkley believes that there must be many Heat fans waiting!
Of course, this scene was also recorded by Su Qun. In his opinion, tonight's game is definitely worthy of the "National Live Broadcast" arranged by David Stern.
The "two geniuses" did not live up to this stage.
Anyway, it will definitely be much more exciting than the last "Genius Derby" between the Cavaliers and Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony's key ball, Woody's rebounding at critical moments and "second attack" fouls, both showed the greatest characteristics of their style of play.
At the end of the game, the two people's statistics were also quite gorgeous.
Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists; Woody made 9 of 15 shots and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 22 points and 15 rebounds, including 13 backcourt rebounds and 2 Offensive rebound.
Although there are few offensive rebounds, but...
One of them was a key rebound that sealed the victory!
In addition, he had 2 blocks and 3 assists.
In terms of gorgeousness, Woody is even better.
With this result at the last minute, Anthony looked depressed and a little hard to accept, but he still congratulated Woody generously. The two hugged in front of the camera and took the first photo together.
