"There are 5.1 seconds left, the rest of the time...everyone gives the ball to LeBron or Dwyane...if one of them has a chance, let them take it. ......."
During the timeout, on the Heat team bench, head coach Erik Spoelstra was arranging last-minute tactics.
All the fans on the sidelines stood up. The game has entered the most critical moment. If the Heat cannot overtake the score, they will lose the game.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
The timeout ended and both sides took to the court again.
Chris Bosh stood on the sidelines to serve, while other Heat players were preparing to run. The moment the referee handed the ball to Chris Bosh, the players on the court immediately started running.
LeBron James kept opening up the space and trying to catch the ball, but Kawhi Leonard always followed him and didn't give him any chance.
Dwyane Wade's situation wasn't very good either. Manu Ginobili stared at him, making it impossible for him to catch the ball for a while.
The Spurs' defense undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on the Heat.
But the serve was imminent, and the Heat's timeouts were exhausted. Chris Bosh had no choice but to make a choice at the last moment.
Snapped.
He gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang who came up from the wing.
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Fans all knew that the last goal would definitely go to one of LeBron James or Dwyane Wade, but they did not expect that this time it would fall into the hands of Zhao Feiyang by mistake.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra on the sidelines looked even more nervous and panicked for a moment.
"Oh! No!"
"Zhao, pass the ball quickly...to LeBron..."
On the field.
Zhao Feiyang, who got the ball, did not choose to pass the ball. He glanced at LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. At this time, both of them were heavily surrounded. Passing the ball was not a good option. Besides, there was probably not enough time. not enough.
Seeing the timer passing quickly, Zhao Feiyang struck decisively. He raised the basketball and pretended to take a shot. This fake move caused Tony Parker, who rushed to block him, to be thrown away.
Then Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball all the way to the basket. His breakthrough speed was like a ghost. Before the Spurs players could fully react, he had already successfully reached the basket.
The moment he threw the basketball, the sound of the timer stopping was heard from the scene.
Beep.
The next second, the basketball thrown by Zhao Feiyang hit the backboard, rebounded and fell into the basket.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
122 to 121.
The Heat won!
The whole audience burst into wild cheers.
The Heat players on the bench were even more excited. They could not suppress their ecstasy, and a group of people rushed to the court to celebrate.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade also rushed towards Zhao Feiyang, and several people hugged each other, shouting and roaring to celebrate the hard-won victory.
"we won!"
"Kill!"
"Well done!"
At this moment, any grudges were temporarily put aside, and the players were all immersed in the joy of victory. In the entire American Airlines Center, the only voices left were the voices of Heat players and fans.
The Spurs lost the game, and the players didn't have any nostalgia. They walked towards the locker room one after another and left the stadium with a lonely look on their faces.
Winning this game is really not easy.
After the Heat won this game, the score was 3-2. If they can win in the last game, then the championship will be theirs.
Even if they can't, they don't have to worry if they get the match point. At least they still have a chance to make mistakes.
At the end of the game, ESPN also reported this news. The scene of Zhao Feiyang's layup was also played several times in the news.
Similarly, on the other side of the ocean, in China, CCTV Sports made a big deal about Zhao Feiyang's winning goal in the finals, and specially edited the footage of Zhao Feiyang's goals into highlights for broadcast during prime time.
Evaluations of Zhao Feiyang on major sports forums are completely positive.
It can even be said that Zhao Feiyang has reached the highest peak of fame in his career.
"Zhao Feiyang scored 30 points in this game! Damn it! What does 30 points mean? This is the finals!"
"It's really awesome! The shot that Zhao Feiyang knocked down Danny Green was also very powerful. It can be used as a video tutorial for the cross step... Not to mention, don't say it, his cross step is very good. It looks a bit like AI..."
"Thanks to the Heat's trade for Zhao Feiyang this season, if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to survive this game..."
Fans' discussions about Zhao Feiyang also pushed Zhao Feiyang onto the hot search topic list.
This time, this is not only true in China, but also in the United States. People who follow the NBA have begun to notice the name Zhao Feiyang.
ESPN celebrities also keep mentioning him.
When Shaquille O'Neal was a guest in the studio, he also talked to Charles Barkley about what happened in Game 5 of the Finals.
"In fact, I thought Zhao would choose to shoot a three-pointer... But judging from his choice afterwards, Zhao's judgment was right!"
"We thought he would shoot three-pointers, and the Spurs thought so too... Who would have thought that he would directly choose to break through..."
"I saw the shadow of Allen Iverson in him, especially the shot between him and Danny Green. I never thought that this guy would bring such a big surprise to the fans..."
Charles Barkley also fully agrees.
It was rare that he did not criticize Zhao Feiyang, but criticized another target.
"Judging from the ending of the entire season, the Lakers management is the stupidest... Come on, I still don't understand why they chose that young player named Steven Scott. ... He is indeed younger than Zhao, but Zhao's talent and performance far exceed him..."
"If the Lakers had not fired Zhao, but had kept Zhao on the team... I think Kobe Bryant would have had a very good helper next season..."
"The Lakers are the biggest losers this season. They gave up this young man for a little money. I don't know who else can do this kind of stupid thing?"
The comments of the two celebrities were also noticed by many people.
It was also after the game that Zhao Feiyang's agent, David Stock, was bombarded with phone calls. Three teams in the league called one after another, hoping to discuss Zhao Feiyang's ownership next season.
The first team to call was the Golden State Warriors.
"We are willing to offer at least 10 million a year in chips, and hope Zhao can join us..."
The second team to call was the Chicago Bulls.
"Derek said that he hopes to play with Zhao, and the team also hopes that he can join... You can put forward any conditions..."
The most interesting thing is that the third team that called was the Los Angeles Lakers.
It's just that David Stock didn't get through, because Zhao Feiyang told him early in the morning that he would directly refuse any call from the Lakers!
He also wants the Lakers to taste the feeling of being abandoned!
