Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

"Dwayne!"

The Heat players nearby immediately gathered around.

"Please get out of the way!"

The team doctor didn't care about this. After asking them to get out of the way, he urgently helped Wade deal with the blood stains.

Haslem glared at Hansbrough who was separated on the other side, ready to repair him at any time.

In the summer of 2010, three young men from the class of 2003 gathered in Miami, preparing to launch an attack on the O'Brien Cup they longed for.

Under the light of the Big Three, another young man who also landed in the NBA in 2003 seems so inconspicuous. He is Haslem.

Haslem went undrafted in the 2002 draft. Why?

His height of 203 centimeters, weak rebounding ability, and severely overweight (270 pounds) will make all teams reject him.

After playing in the French league for a year, Haslem lost more than 30 kilograms and signed with the Heat as a free agent. He became teammates with Wade, the No. 5 pick of the year, and the two became brothers.

He could only play as a substitute as an undrafted player, but the turnaround came quickly.

In the summer of 2004, the Heat paid a first-round pick for Odom, Caron Butler and then-starting power forward Brian Grant to acquire O'Neal from the Lakers. Haslem was promoted to the main force and partnered with O'Neal.

He delivered excellent data of 10.9 points and 9.1 rebounds, and successfully renewed his contract with the team for five years.

In the process of the Heat winning the championship in 2006, Haslem also contributed his own strength.

In the summer of 2010, due to the arrival of the Big Three, the Heat could no longer provide the salary space to re-sign Haslem, but it didn't matter. The Big Three all cut their salaries, and Haslem also rejected the offer from the Mavericks and Nuggets.

He signed a mid-level contract with the Heat and signed a five-year, 20 million high-quality contract.

You know, the contract amount offered to him by the Mavericks and Nuggets was 34 million over five years.

The camaraderie of being on the same team for nearly ten years has long since evolved into a brotherhood. Haslem is now looking at Wade on the blood-stained court, and his heart is filled with anger.

Dare you touch my brother?

Unfortunately, the Pacers on the other side also knew that the situation was serious and quickly pulled Hansbrough away, preventing Haslem from finding a chance.

According to league regulations, there is no blood on the court.

This rule is obviously related to the romantic magician. After all, AI can be spread through blood.

So when Iverson was bleeding during the playoffs, he chose to swallow his own blood and continue to fight on the court.

What is a good thing for Heat fans is that the wound on Wade's brow bone was not serious and he returned to the court quickly after simple treatment.

"Uh-huh."

"clang!"

Wade's second free throw did not hit, but Hansbrough was awarded a first-level flagrant foul. Although it was not as serious as being ejected directly for a second-level flagrant foul, the Heat still gained the ball after the free throw, that is,

Commonly known as "two free throws".

Wade quickly caught the ball and made a pull-up jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

The Heat fans at the scene were relieved, knowing that Wade had not been affected by his opponent's foul play.

"25-32."

"Hold on!"

The opponent suddenly scored 3 points in a row to widen the gap. Collison held the ball from the outside, gestured at his teammates to let them run, and then called a pick-and-roll.

Facing Wade's defense, he did not rush, but handed the ball to Qi Tian, ​​who was guarded by James Jones.

Qi Tian caught the ball and failed to hit a jump shot.

"clang!"

Fortunately, the Pacers' defense was solid and successfully allowed Wade to play a piece of iron.

Collison took the pass from his teammate and brought it to the frontcourt again.

This time he chose to attack inside.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Haslem was overjoyed when he saw Hansbrough catching the ball. The moment his opponent took action, he slapped the opponent to the ground with both hands!

"Dudu!"

The referee who did not relax immediately blew the whistle and gave Haslem a technical foul, also known as a "T".

"How about a fight?"

Haslem stared coldly at Hansbrough who fell to the ground, making no secret of his intentions.

"I won't let you go like this next time!"

Hansbrough knew he was in the wrong and allowed Haslem to leave, only to be pulled up by his teammates.

Why is this necessary?

Qi Tian only thought in his heart and said nothing.

Any foul that violates sports ethics and sports competition rules should not appear on the court. This is the consensus of all people who like to play basketball.

Now that Hansbrough takes the lead and Haslem strikes back, the atmosphere of the game will definitely not be as pure as before.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Hansbrough made two free throws and the Pacers still had the ball.

The newly debuted West caught the ball under the basket and scored an easy layup.

"29-32."

The Pacers scored 4 points in a row and narrowed the point difference to 3 points that could be tied in one round.

The defensive intensity of the two teams immediately increased and they exchanged several waves of experience.

"Apply for substitution!"

The Heat found an opportunity to let James take a rest for more than a minute. Spoelstra found another opportunity and replaced James.

Vogel also immediately replaced Granger and George, and gradually replaced all the main players.

"clang!"

Wade hit a jump shot, and Haslem made up for the height difference with his enthusiasm and energy, and even got an offensive rebound over Hibbert's head.

"clang!"

Chalmers' three-point jumper was blocked, and Haslem actually grabbed the offensive rebound again and made a tip-in.

The scores between the two teams began to rise, and the Heat firmly controlled the lead.

"33-38."

Vogel called for a substitution again, replacing George with Qi Tian.

Obviously, the team's offensive problems are much greater than their defensive problems.

West scored inside, but Haslem made a layup, helping the Heat stabilize the situation.

"You still have to shoot three-pointers."

Qi Tian looked at the point difference that had not narrowed, looked at Hill at the top of the arc, and quickly started running around the bottom corner and the basket.

Hill used the pick-and-roll to break through and quickly passed the ball to Qi Tian who ran out.

"seven!"

Qi Tian jumped up after receiving the ball and threw the basketball in his hand at the highest point.

"Whoosh!"

"38-40."

"Nesshat!"

"What a ball!"

The Pacers fans on the sidelines cheered.

"Nice pen!"

Everyone on the bench also waved towels.

The Pacers narrowed the point difference to 2 points with 4 minutes left in the first half.

But they were obviously happy too early. The Pacers fell into a strange but familiar scoring drought in the next minute. Instead, the Heat relied on Joel Anthony's free throw to slightly widen the gap.

"clang!"

James missed a jump shot, but he took the shot and grabbed the offensive rebound, then turned around and handed it to his teammates.

Granger relaxed a little, and James ran to the bottom corner, received a pass from Battier, and hit a long three-pointer.

"38-44."

"I'll do it!"

Granger wanted the ball from the outside and took a long shot after receiving the ball. James rushed over and tried to block the shot.

Granger failed to stabilize and fell to the ground.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.
