June 16, Miami, American Airlines Arena.
The finals G3 between the Warriors and Heat will start here.
Before the game, in order to clean up the dirty deeds they had done before and achieve the purpose of restoring people's hearts, the Heat's management specially held a grand opening ceremony.
After Sun Yi entered the court, he saw the Heat players interacting with a group of left-behind children, and the heartwarming scene overflowed.
"As expected of a divine fortune teller, this is a good job!"
After Sun Yi finished complaining, he went to the bench to change his equipment, and then followed his teammates to the Warriors' warm-up half for pre-match warm-up activities.
Out of curiosity, he glanced at the opposite side and saw the murderous James and the unsmiling Wade.
Seeing such a scene, Sun Yi was ready for a protracted war.
Neither of these two guys is a fuel-efficient lamp.
Withdrawing his gaze, Sun Yi continued his warm-up activities to adjust himself to the best condition.
Not long after, the warm-up activities ended and the players from both sides returned to the bench one after another.
The referee looked at the timer and blew the whistle to signal the starting players from both sides to come on.
Sun Yi left the bench and walked towards the court.
In the process, he spent a certain number of training points to activate the bond badge.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the bond badges."
After the system's prompt voice ended, Sun Yi walked towards the field with steps that he didn't recognize his relatives.
With his current comprehensive strength, even if Jordan at his peak comes, he will still have to be beaten.
Amid the cheers of the home fans, the starters of the two teams came to the center circle one after another, preparing to jump the ball to start the game.
In the jump ball session, Chandler easily defeated Haslem and gave the Warriors the opportunity to open the first attack.
Curry dribbled the ball across half court and came to the top of the arc to complete the pick-and-roll with Chandler. After splitting the ball, he directly shot a three-pointer.
Haslem, who switched defense, defended well and interfered with Curry's shooting.
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
After the Heat protected the backcourt rebounds, they directly launched a transition attack.
Having learned from the failures in the first two games, the Heat coaching staff found that the success rate of positional warfare was very low.
If you want to change this situation, you can only use speed to control speed and solve the problem offensively.
Back on the court, Wade received a long pass from James, used his speed advantage to tear through the Warriors' defense, quickly rushed to the basket and scored a layup.
0:2!
The audience suddenly burst into excitement, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Sun Yi.
After receiving the pass, Sun Yi directly started to break towards the basket, rushed into the penalty area and was double-teamed by the Heat, and immediately passed the ball back to the outside.
Outside the three-point line on the left, Curry watched the ball fly towards him quickly, and quickly prepared to catch the ball and shoot.
But at this moment, a figure stood in front of Curry and intercepted the basketball in the air.
Wade, who saw through the Warriors passing route, successfully completed the steal and sprinted toward the Warriors half court.
When the Flash rushed to the penalty area, seeing that the Warriors players had not caught up yet, he jumped up high without wasting his energy...
Bang!
A powerful and heavy one-handed chop!
0:4!
The American Airlines Arena completely exploded, and the fans who had been aggrieved for a long time vented their passion to their heart's content.
"The Heat took the lead, which is very detrimental to the Warriors. They must find a way to respond!" Kenny Smith said worriedly.
"With this guy Sun here, I won't panic at all. Let's watch his performance next!"
As a big fan of Sun Yi, Barkley has full confidence in Sun Yi.
Returning to the court, Curry dribbled to the top of the key and patiently organized the offense.
Sun Yi used the cover of his teammates to quickly run to the high post area on the right. After receiving the pass, he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.
James Jones failed to keep up and could only watch Sun Yi shoot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
2:4!
"This is Sun Yi! As long as he wants to score, no one can stop him!" Barkley boasted.
Back on the court, Wade dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, quickly made a crossover, accelerated one step past Curry and rushed into the three-point line.
Sun Yi, Chandler and others immediately rushed back to the penalty area to help defend.
Wade rushed into the penalty area, attracted the defense and passed the ball through the gap.
James, who cut inside to the basket, received the pass, immediately jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
After landing, James turned directly back to defense and gave up the celebration moment.
He didn't want to make a stupid mistake and be counterattacked by the Warriors.
Due to the Heat's timely defense, the Warriors failed to make a fast break and fell into a positional battle.
Sun Yi, who was running without the ball, came out to receive the pass again. Seeing that he could not get rid of the defensive player, he did not shoot easily.
The Heat's defensive strategy tonight is very clear. They switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls, keep rotating, and use their athletic ability to deal with the Warriors.
Sun Yi held the ball and made a three-threat action. At the same time, he directed his teammates to position themselves, leaving him space for singles.
After everything was ready, Sun Yi raised his hand to fake a shot. Seeing that James Jones was indifferent, he directly pulled it up and threw the ball with a slight backward tilt.
After James Jones reacted, he hurriedly rushed to interfere, but hit Sun Yi on the elbow, which resulted in a free foul.
The basketball bounced on the rim and rolled into the net.
"Beep! The Heat's No. 22 hitter fouled, and the goal is effectively an additional penalty."
The referee blew the whistle and made a penalty gesture towards the technical table.
"Nice! Two plus one, Sun Yi's shooting is so stable. Even if the Heat fouls, they can't stop him from throwing the damn basketball into the basket!" Barkley shouted excitedly.
On the court, Sun Yi smiled and high-fived Curry who came to him.
"Man, you are ridiculously strong! How can I catch up with you?" Curry said, shaking his head.
"Stephen, I will always be the one you can't get, so stop chasing me."
After Sun Yi finished joking, he walked towards the free throw line.
Amid boos from the audience, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, received the basketball from the referee, and steadily hit the extra penalty.
The ball is transferred and the Heat attack.
Wade dribbled to the frontcourt without any sloppiness and continued to beat Curry.
When he rushed to the penalty area, he found that his good brother Ajan was surrounded by defensive players and had no chance to catch the ball. He moved the ball from east to west and distributed the ball to the outside.
Outside the right three-point line, Ray Allen received the pass and hit a three-pointer.
This is a new tactic developed by the Heat during the two days off.
If you want to defeat the Warriors, you can't just rely on James and Wade. You need to do something on the outside.
Facts have proved that the new tactics are indeed good.
After losing two games in a row, the Heat finally bottomed out when they returned to their home court. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose.
