call out.
A whistle sounded.
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich called a timeout.
The restlessness in the audience finally eased.
Danny Green shook his head helplessly, and then walked towards the team bench. The rest of the Spurs looked down, too, and their performance really wasn't good enough in the opening minutes of the final quarter.
On the Heat's side, Zhao Feiyang scored 13 points in a short period of time. Coupled with the scores of other teammates, the Heat were only 6 points away from the Spurs.
100 to 106.
This is the score between the two sides.
When Zhao Feiyang returned to the team bench, most people from LeBron James to Dwyane Wade to the team's bench players came up to greet him warmly.
"Well done!"
"Hahaha...man, you knocked down Danny Green. This guy has never suffered such a loss..."
Mario Chalmers, who had ridiculed Zhao Feiyang before, looked a little embarrassed.
However, everyone else took the initiative to express their opinions, so he had no choice but to go through.
"Zhao, your performance surprised me!"
What surprised Mario Chalmers was that Zhao Feiyang did not hold grudges against him and still responded with fist bumps.
"It's your turn next!"
Head coach Erik Spoelstra also struck while the iron was hot. After temporarily deploying new tactics, he replaced Zhao Feiyang and others who had exhausted too much physical strength to rest.
The Big Three are also back on stage.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the timeout ended.
Both sides return to the court.
At this time, there are 7 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of the game.
It was the Spurs' turn to attack.
The core members of the Spurs also all appeared on the field, with Tony Parker holding the ball across half court. After returning to the court, the core of the Spurs no longer conserved energy, and started a fierce battle with the Heat after taking the field.
After halftime, the ball was given to the basket. Tim Duncan failed to score with his first shot. Then he picked up the rebound for the second time. Faced with double-teaming by two Heat players, he still used A difficult hook throws the ball into the basket.
As soon as the ball was scored, the Heat immediately counterattacked.
Dwyane Wade, who was standing under the basket, reacted quickly and threw a super long pass to the half court. LeBron James ran in the Spurs penalty area, caught the ball and dunked directly.
The whole audience exclaimed.
The atmosphere became more and more lively.
On the bench, Zhao Feiyang, who was drinking sports drinks to replenish energy, also took a look at the remaining time on the experience card: 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
"If nothing else, Coach Eric will replace me later...then, these 2 minutes and 50 seconds should be enough..."
"If it's not enough, it's a big deal and it's better not to turn it on when defending..."
The situation on the field finally changed.
With the cooperation of the Heat's Big Three, the score gradually caught up. When there were 3 minutes and 09 seconds left in the game, the two sides had already tied 110 to 113.
There is only a 3 point difference.
The Spurs failed to hold on to their advantage.
call out.
The Heat make a substitution.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra waved to Zhao Feiyang.
"let's go!"
"I trust you!"
Zhao Feiyang took off his coat again and appeared.
This time, when he walked onto the court, the fans cheered wildly. In the past, only Chinese fans supported Zhao Feiyang, but this time, local Miami fans also joined in.
Zhao Feiyang has conquered them with his actual performance.
Snapped.
The Heat attacked, and Mario Chalmers threw the ball to Zhao Feiyang just before halftime.
His move also stunned Zhao Feiyang for a moment.
"Didn't this kid never pass the ball to me before?"
As soon as the basketball was in his hands, Tony Parker from the Spurs immediately came to Zhao Feiyang to mark him.
Zhao Feiyang did not panic.
Although the opponent is a veteran with rich defensive experience, his physical fitness and reactions are no longer at their peak.
The two met each other, Zhao Feiyang made a cross step and swayed. Tony Parker tried to steal Zhao Feiyang's dribble. Unexpectedly, the next second, Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball from behind and passed the opponent instantly.
Tony Parker froze on the spot and watched Zhao Feiyang rush into the inside.
Tim Duncan came out to defend, intending to block Zhao Feiyang's shot. Zhao Feiyang did not pass the ball, let alone flinch, and made a lever action towards Tim Duncan.
The two collided in mid-air.
Zhao Feiyang's ball was successfully thrown into the basket, and at the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded.
call out.
"Defensive foul committed by Spurs player No. 21..."
"Additional penalty..."
Two plus one.
Zhao Feiyang's goal caused a stir on the sidelines.
Many fans looked surprised.
Tim Duncan, who was standing under the basket, was also very depressed. At a certain moment, he suddenly thought of a familiar person.
"Allen Iverson?"
"Why does this guy's lever look so much like an AI?"
"If I remember correctly, during the 2001 All-Star Game, AI entered the paint and used this lever action to score a two-plus-one in front of me..."
Tim Duncan was shocked and couldn't help but sigh.
More than ten years have passed in a flash!
The original group of old players have almost retired!
On the field.
Zhao Feiyang walked to the free throw line and received the referee's pass.
Uh-huh.
Successfully put the ball into the basket.
The game goes on.
Seeing that there was not much time left, both sides were anxious at the last moment. The Heat's Big Three took turns to attack, and the Spurs also tried to widen the gap with long shots.
Finally, the time came for the decisive battle.
The two sides scored 119 to 118.
The Heat are only 1 point away.
There are only 34 seconds left before the end of the game.
All the fans stood up again.
The ball is in the Heat's hands.
LeBron James holds the ball in isolation at the top of the arc.
All eyes were on him.
I saw LeBron James suddenly burst out from the right side facing Kawhi Leonard's defense. He was very fast. After entering the basket, he was double-teamed by Tim Duncan. At the critical moment, LeBron James suddenly Remember to turn around and throw the opponent away directly.
Snapped.
LeBron James forced a shot under the basket and hit the ball on the backboard.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
The ball went in.
120 to 119.
The crowd cheered.
But the game time is not over yet, there are only 28 seconds left.
The Spurs reacted quickly and gave the ball away while the Heat were still celebrating. Tony Parker dribbled the ball toward the half court. He did not make any move to stick to the ball. Once the Heat came up to double-team, he immediately transferred the ball away.
After halftime passed smoothly, the basketball fell into the hands of Kawhi Leonard.
Kawhi Leonard could have taken a shot directly, but he deliberately delayed the shot and waited for the shot time to end at the top of the key.
This move is undoubtedly quite risky. Once the Spurs fail to score, they will never have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
The Heat couldn't let them delay like this. After adopting a double-teaming tactic, Kawhi Leonard had to attack early.
He dribbled the ball into the two zones, faced interference from LeBron James, and forced his shot from the two zones on the right.
Uh-huh.
121 to 120.
When the basketball fell firmly into the basket, the fans at the scene sighed in unison.
"No!"
"No...damn, they overtook..."
"5.1 seconds left..."
The Heat did not dare to hesitate. Chris Bosh stood under the basket and served, intending to pass the ball to Dwyane Wade for a fast break.
However, no one expected that at such a critical moment, Chris Bosh made a mistake in serving, and the moment he threw the basketball, he was intercepted by Danny Green who was halfway out.
Although the basketball went out of bounds, the remaining time was also affected.
"4.1 seconds?"
"It's over! No chance..."
The scene was filled with howls.
