109 to 101.
The Heat lead the Pacers by 8 points.
There are 51 seconds left.
The ball is in the Pacers' hands.
The game has reached the most critical moment, and the Pacers will naturally try to chase points. The referee gave the ball to Lance Stephenson. As soon as the latter got the ball, he encountered Zhao Feiyang's personal defense.
Lance Stephenson was not in a hurry, but made a gesture to Paul George.
Paul George suddenly moved from the low post to the high post. He didn't seem to intend to catch the ball. Sure enough, the next second he rushed forward to help Lance Stephenson set up a pick-and-roll.
What no one expected was that when the two were picking and rolling, Lance Stephenson used the blind spot in his field of vision to directly give the ball to Paul George.
After passing the ball, he pretended to run away with the ball.
This move caused Chris Bosh, who was guarding Paul George, to make a misjudgment. The moment he switched to guard Lance Stephenson, Paul George also misplaced Zhao Feiyang in singles.
"Oops!"
"Cheated!"
Head coach Erik Spoelstra stood up on the sidelines with a nervous look on his face.
Chris Bosh on the court was even more surprised.
Misplaced isolations are not uncommon.
In the entire starting lineup, Zhao Feiyang is weak in height and physical fitness. If Paul George is asked to play LeBron James alone, then he will definitely not be willing to do so.
LeBron James is much bigger than him!
But if he is allowed to play as a forward against Zhao Feiyang as a defender, the offensive pressure will undoubtedly be much less.
Even though he knew he was being singled out of position, Zhao Feiyang did not hesitate at all. He immediately moved in to mark Paul George.
However, the opponent was already prepared and directly pushed Zhao Feiyang away with his body and rushed into the two zones. Zhao Feiyang pursued with all his strength and slapped Paul George when he raised the basketball.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Paul George drew a foul.
To make matters worse, the basketball he threw hit the backboard and fell into the basket.
"nice shot!"
"Well done!"
Pacers fans outside the court cheered.
Paul George also high-fived his teammates in celebration.
Zhao Feiyang sighed and shook his head.
LeBron James walked up to him, reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Relax, it's just a foul, no big deal! They will lose!"
With the encouragement from the team boss, Zhao Feiyang nodded.
Paul George quickly stood on the free throw line.
After receiving the referee's pass, he easily threw the ball into the basket.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
104 to 109.
5 points left.
There are 34 seconds left before the end of the game.
It was the Miami Heat's turn to fight back.
This time, before the ball passed half the court, LeBron James took the initiative to ask Mario Chalmers for the ball. As soon as he got the ball, the Pacers players immediately followed him.
The situation on the field became tense again.
LeBron James used his body to push forward. After halftime, he avoided Paul George's interference, rushed to the right three-point line, lifted the basketball, and threw it toward the basket.
boom.
His touch was not good and the basketball bounced out of the basket.
Chris Bosh was also a step too slow, and the dropped rebound was picked up by Pacers insider Roy Hibbert.
Roy Hibbert threw a long pass across half court, and David West, who received the ball at half court, rushed straight to the basket.
boom.
The opponent ended the battle with a fast break dunk.
There are 17 seconds left on the clock.
The score came to 106 to 109.
The situation on the court changes too quickly. If the Heat can't score another offense or hold on to the score, I'm afraid it's entirely possible for them to be tied or even reversed.
It was the Heat's turn to fight back.
LeBron James wanted to catch the ball, but unfortunately he was double-teamed by Paul George and Roy Hibbert. The two did not give him any chance at all, blocking all his space to catch the ball.
Just when the ball was unable to be released, Zhao Feiyang rushed up from the wing and waved to Mario Chalmers under the basket.
"here."
Mario Chalmers threw the ball.
Snapped.
The basketball fell into Zhao Feiyang's hands.
"Walk!"
Zhao Feiyang shouted to the others, then took the ball and rushed toward the half court. Lance Stephenson tried to intercept Zhao Feiyang halfway. The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang suddenly dribbled away from him with a behind-the-back dribble.
Such a simple and straightforward passing action caused the whole audience to exclaim.
Soon Zhao Feiyang rushed across the half court and when he reached the top of the arc, he found that LeBron James still could not get rid of defensive players such as Paul George.
So, the next moment, he decisively raised the basketball and stood at the three-point line to take a shot.
Uh-huh.
A precise three-pointer fell steadily into the basket.
When Zhao Feiyang scored this goal, the Pacers' bench was filled with moans. All the benches stood up, and many covered their faces in disbelief.
106 to 112.
5.1 seconds left.
There is no chance.
The Pacers also realized the problem. After the ball was given, the Heat players on the field did not go up to defend it.
As long as there are no fouls at this time, the team's victory is almost certain.
Paul George dribbled the ball all the way across half court and finally slammed the ball into the basket with a dunk.
However, the moment he scored, the sound of the on-site timer stopping also sounded.
Beep.
112 to 108.
The whole game is over.
The fans at the scene sighed, and there were also many disappointed comments in the crowd.
The Heat players ran all the way back to the locker room. Everyone cheered to celebrate the victory. Zhao Feiyang's three-pointer was undoubtedly the key to winning. Therefore, many teammates high-fived and hugged him. Even LeBron James praised him. .
After coming back and winning one game on the road, the Heat kept up their efforts and defeated the Pacers at their home court two days later.
This time the Heat played more freely. The score was 119 to 109. The Heat directly won the opponent with a double-digit gap.
Zhao Feiyang played 24 minutes in this game and made 7 three-pointers and 3 mid-range shots. He scored a total of 27 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds.
He is also the second player on the team besides LeBron James.
The big score was 2 to 2.
After winning two games in a row, the Heat team flew back to Miami again, and the upcoming fifth game will be held at their home court.
At the same time, Dwyane Wade, who was lying in the hospital ward recuperating, couldn't sit still. Especially after watching the fourth game, Dwyane Wade wanted to be discharged from the hospital immediately.
"Henry, I have to return to the game. This kid made another key three-pointer and scored 27 points. What on earth does he want to do?"
"If I don't go back, who knows if I will be replaced by this guy?"
Dwyane Wade looked unhappy in front of his agent Henry Thomas.
"Dwayne, the doctor said you'd better rest for one more game...you're just a rookie...I think you should wait until the sixth game before coming back..."
"No, I can't wait any longer! I am the team's main number two...Henry, go tell them that I will come back in the next game and let Eric keep my starting position... ..."
