One Guard

In the visiting locker room at American Airlines Arena, Carlisle could only hear the players breathing heavily. Everyone was sweating profusely, and they sat in various positions in front of the locker just to let themselves recover some more energy.

It is not impossible to beat a team like the Heat with several superstars, but you have to pay a huge price for it.

Quick defense, tough blocking, and concentration, these things are indispensable. Although demanding, the Mavericks really did it in the first half of the game. I believe that the Heat must not be feeling well now. Those guys never expected that they would encounter such a strong resistance.

Carlisle is not worried about the execution of the players now, he is worried about everyone's physical fitness. At the end of the second quarter, it was precisely because the Mavericks removed most of the starters that Wade was able to score 9 points in a row to fill the gap.

How to set the rotation time in the second half of the game has undoubtedly become a worry for Carlisle.

"51 to 51, the Miami Heat faced tough resistance at home. It took Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks five years to get back here, and they won't let it go easily. In the second half, the Big Three have to cheer up Otherwise, the Mavericks are likely to steal a victory away!"

Barkley and Smith in the stands have already begun to warm up for the second half of the game. In fact, without these two guys warming up, the enthusiasm of the fans will swell like popcorn.

It's just that most people don't want to see how the Mavericks persist to the end. What they want to see is how the Heat win the final victory.

After a short break, players from both sides came out of the player channel again. Although the Heat were under pressure in the first half of the game, they looked relaxed. The Dallas Mavericks players were all frowning, looking exhausted. It seems that they didn't go back to the locker room to rest, but went to the weight room for extra training.

Quickly open the score, this is still the goal of the Heat. They don't want to fight the Mavericks to the end, and resolving the battle as soon as possible is the safest way to win.

After scoring 9 points in a row at the end of the second quarter, Wade seemed to have touched a switch on his body and became extremely crazy.

As soon as the third quarter came up, Wade used a simple but quick change of direction in front of Stevenson to break through, and succeeded in a backhand layup. Stevenson's defense was not tight, but Wade still managed to score the ball under tremendous pressure.

Counting the second quarter, Wade has scored 11 points in a row. Superstars drive the offense, and that's how the Heat win.

The Heat took a one-goal lead as soon as they came up,

People are eager to hope that this momentum will not be interrupted, and the Mavericks will be beaten to the bottom in one fell swoop.

However, a blue lightning shattered the beautiful illusions of the Miami people.

After Yiyang received the baseline ball, he didn't advance slowly, but quickly rushed towards the half court guarded by the Heat. When he came in front of Wade, Yiyang changed hands under his crotch and accelerated suddenly, allowing him to surpass "The Flash" by half a body.

But the distance of less than half a body is still not safe for Yiyang. Wade's signature is very risky, and Yiyang doesn't want to try it.

Yiyang went inside, raised the basketball, and made a layup. Wade was not deceived, he didn't take off, but stuck to Yiyang tightly, not even intending to leave room for passing the ball.

But Yiyang still passed the ball to Marion through the cracks. Marion took a step back after receiving the basketball, and just took off to shoot. This time, Marion avoided James' defense and successfully scored two points.

The Mavericks bit the score again, and their tenacity continued. Spoelstra curled his lips, he wants to see how long the Mavericks can last like this!

After a few rounds, Wade sent an alley-oop pass, and James, who was running in front, leaped high, like an eagle spreading his wings, pressing down on Marion, who raised his arms high, and caught the ball and dunked it in. basket.

Marion's defense was once again overwhelmed by James' abnormal physical fitness. This ball was very demoralizing, because James not only scored, but he also ruthlessly dug a hole in the Mavericks' iron wall.

Everyone in the stands was cheering. Now, the Mavericks should be convinced.

However, no one thought of it. This time, it was actually Marion who was dunked by James just now.

Yiyang slowly controlled the rhythm, allowing his teammates plenty of time to run. After passing through several times, the ball returned to Yiyang's hands. Yiyang made a breakthrough, but actually played the ball again. This time, the attack ended.

Marion received the basketball, and James thought the guy was about to shoot another jumper, so he had no defense behind him. Little did they know that Marion chose to break through after making a fake shot. James couldn't react in time, and Marion easily made a layup, and the score was tied again!

Subsequently, Bosh's turn-back jumper was blocked by Dirk Nowitzki. The German's injured middle finger not only did not affect him, but inspired him all the time. Every ball must be fought, which is worthy of the five years of hard work!

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the basketball that Bosh just shot was ruthlessly stopped by Nowitzki. The most terrible thing is that this basketball was impartial, and it just happened to fall into Yiyang's hands.

What are you waiting for? After receiving the basketball, Yiyang turned around and started running! The Heat retreated quickly, and James was the one who responded the fastest.

James followed closely behind Yiyang obliquely, waiting for an opportunity to block the shot. Ordinary people will feel tremendous pressure when they see a "humanoid tank" following them. With such a guy staring at him, most players will choose to pass the ball.

But Yiyang, he is not afraid of these things now.

Stepping into the three-second zone, Yiyang took off directly, looking as if he wanted to dunk!

James jumped up right behind Yiyang. He stretched out his long arms to block Yiyang. It was too easy for James!

Just as James waved his arms violently at the basketball, Yiyang suddenly drew the basketball to his chest. After avoiding James' block, he raised the ball again and sent it to the basket gently.

The basketball hit the backboard and hit the net. Yiyang, who had his back to James, made a layup with a beautiful drawbar and scored the ball!

However, James, who was struggling forward, couldn't hold his body in the air. This caused this strong man with abnormal physical fitness to collide with Yiyang violently!

This level of collision is naturally commonplace for James. But after Yiyang shot the basketball, his whole body was knocked out. Getting hit by James was like getting hit by a pickup truck.

Yiyang lost his balance in the air and fell heavily to the ground. After landing, the huge inertia made Yiyang slide on the floor until he hit the cushion under the basketball hoop and finally stopped.

"Yi fell so badly, can he still..."

Before Barkley finished speaking, Yiyang stood up by himself. He rubbed his sore back from the fall, then trotted up, and returned to defense towards his own half.

Seeing this scene, Carlisle suddenly became furious. He rushed to the referee and told the opponent that the ball should have been called a foul!

In fact, Carlisle also knew that the referee would not change his penalty again. Carlisle did this only to put pressure on the referee and influence his subsequent judgment. After all, it is impossible for Yiyang to always sacrifice in vain.

This time, it was the Dallas Mavericks who overtook the score. Yiyang's brave and decisive attack, even James couldn't stop it. The third quarter of the game has been played for nearly five minutes. Instead of gaining any advantage, the Heat were cornered by the Mavericks.

James feels like the current Mavericks are like a tumbler, you can hit them with all your strength and knock them to the ground. But soon, this group of guys will be back on their feet. And the harder you hit, the faster they stand up!

"Damn guys!" James gritted his teeth, the superstar had a little fear of the Mavericks in his heart.

The game continued anxiously for another two minutes. In the seventh minute of the third quarter, Carlisle replaced Nowitzki with Peja. Marion played at the four, and Peja filled the position at small forward.

Nowitzki himself is injured, and it is understandable that Carlisle replaced him to rest. But in the eyes of the Heat players, this is an opportunity! Taking advantage of Nowitzki's absence to open up the score, there is nothing more suitable than now!

So after Nowitzki left the field, the Heat players seemed to get excited instantly. They defended hard, hoping to successfully defend the ball, and then fortunately overtake the score on the offensive end.

Yiyang passed the ball to Peja, but James naturally wouldn't let this guy get a chance. Although Peja had occasional outstanding performances in the previous rounds of the series, Peja seemed to have disappeared until now in the finals. The reason is nothing else, precisely because James' defense of Peja is too tight.

Without space, it is impossible for Peja to play James with the ball himself. The tall guy passed the ball through his waist and into Marion's hands.

Facing Bosh, Marion naturally has the advantage in speed. So the No. 0 forward took a feint shot with the ball, and after seeing Bosh's center of gravity shifted, he immediately started hitting the basket!

But Marion still underestimated Bosh's pursuit and defense ability. Nowitzki can score unscrupulously on Bosh's head, which doesn't mean Marion can do it too.

Under Bosh's pressure, Marion couldn't control his body in the air, and his layup was knocked out. James was overjoyed and was about to run to the frontcourt to push a fast break. But in the next second, he saw the familiar No. 1 guard leaping high, taking the rebound off the head of the center Joe Anthony!

"Joe Anthony failed to protect the defensive rebound. He should have locked his position first instead of jumping hastily! He also rushed to the rebound and the Mavericks got a second chance to attack!"

After taking off the basketball, Yiyang did not make a strong move in the overcrowded penalty area. Taking advantage of the chaos, Yiyang passed the ball out. Substitute Terry catches and shoots the ball, a big open opportunity, the "Jets" will not let it go easily.

"Swipe!" The basketball passed through the net, and James waved his arm unwillingly. Joe Anthony didn't even dare to look directly at the Big Three. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't grab the rebound just now, the Mavericks would never have gotten a second chance to attack. Besides, I still let a point guard steal the rebound.

"Almighty Yi, you can see him in every corner of the field today. During Dirk's rest period, Yi's performance will directly determine whether the Heat can pull the score apart!"

What Barkley said, the Heat players are very clear in their hearts. Yiyang is their only obstacle at present, only if Yiyang is also picked off the horse, the Heat's crazy counterattack will not be blocked.

Wade broke through with the ball and made an emergency stop for a jump shot, but was interfered by Yiyang's defense and missed the shot.

Mike Bibby shot a three-pointer, but was blocked by Yiyang, who leaped high, and turned him away.

Chris Bosh hit Marion out of position and was about to turn over for a jumper. Yiyang suddenly appeared and cut off the basketball in the hands of the "Dragon King".

Yiyang, Yiyang, Yiyang... In the past few minutes, the name Barkley said the most was Yiyang. Yiyang's hard-working defense made the Heat go through an embarrassing period of two minutes without scoring. Seeing that Dirk Nowitzki is about to play again, the Heat are still 3 points behind the Mavericks.

James is a little anxious, the next attack, he will do it himself!

When the Mavericks attacked, Yiyang did not become a lone hero. Now he does not have the strength to compete with a team alone.

Yiyang still passed the ball to Peja. Peja has excellent passing ability and is a good transfer point. How to spread out the subsequent tactics, Peja can be in place.

Seeing that Peja was obviously paying attention to the running positions of his teammates and neglected himself, James suddenly took a step forward, straightened his arms, and slapped the basketball out of Peja's hand!

Peja was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around to chase, even flying directly to catch the ball. It's a pity that James is still one step faster. He bent down and picked up the basketball before Peja hugged it. Then, the heavy tank went straight to the basket with iron hooves!

"LeBron stole the ball, he got a fast break! God, there's no way this guy's fast break can be stopped!"

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, he saw another figure quickly approaching James from the side. These two "arrows" extend all the way to the front court and seem to converge under the basketball hoop.

The one chasing James is none other than Yiyang, the fastest player in the Mavericks team!

Seeing Yiyang coming from the side, James was not afraid! Just relying on that guy, he can't stop himself in the air!

The two stepped into the three-second zone almost at the same time. After James took off, he raised the basketball with one hand and was about to chop towards the basket.

Yiyang "throws" himself into the air from the side, and his jumping height surprised James! Seeing Yiyang approaching him, the "Little Emperor" subconsciously raised his other hand to hold Yiyang. But inadvertently, James' elbow hit Yiyang squarely on the face.

But even so, Yiyang did not give up. He straightened his arms, trying to reach the basketball. In the end, Yiyang really touched the ball in James' hands, but James was too powerful, and Yiyang couldn't slap the ball directly at all.

Two forces are putting pressure on the basketball, and James has been somewhat unable to control the direction of the ball. In this way, the basketball was smashed to the basket under the pressure of the two. But this huge interference caused James to knock the ball away!

"What!?" Barkley stood up with his mouth wide open, as surprised as he was, and all the Heat fans in the stands.

After the basketball was dunked, Yiyang, who was elbowed by James in the air, lost his center of gravity and fell in embarrassment. James landed smoothly, and quickly turned around to grab the kicked ball.

He jumped up to grab the kicked basketball and immediately shot it, only to find that Yiyang appeared in front of his eyes again. No one knows when Yiyang got up and threw himself in front of James. The hardwood floor of the American Airlines Arena seems to be a soft cushion, and Yiyang fell on it without any pain. However, this is not the case. Many parts of Yiyang's body have fallen into bruises. It is his obsession and desire for victory that make Yiyang get up again and again after falling.

Looking at Yiyang's face, James was shocked, which also affected his shooting rhythm, and the basketball bounced off the basket again.

This time, Tyson Chandler arrived and finally protected the rebound.

"Give me the ball!" Yiyang hurriedly ran up the court. The Heat's defense has not yet formed, and this is also a good opportunity for a counterattack.

However, Chandler froze in place. He didn't pass the ball or make any other moves.

"Tyson, kick the ball!" Yiyang yelled again, this time he found that not only Chandler, but also Peja, Marion and Terry were standing there.

"What are you doing!?" Yi Yang said, it seemed that a bead of sweat dripped from his head onto the wooden floor. But Yiyang found out from the corner of his eye that there was something wrong with this "sweat"!

How could this "sweat" dripping on the wooden floor be red?

Yiyang lowered his head and looked at it carefully. At this time, several drops of blood also lay down. Yiyang wiped his head with his hand, and found that his hand was blood red.

Only then did he realize that his head had been smashed by James' elbow just now. No wonder, there was something wrong with James' expression just now. After Yiyang got up from the ground, he was fighting with bleeding all the time.

"Pause, pause. Go up, go up!" After that, Yiyang heard Carlisle's anxious shout. He not only called a timeout, but also urged the team doctor.

It was only then that Yiyang felt that the place where he was elbowed by James just now really hurt...
