One Guard

Chapter 319: The smell of gunpowder

This is the second time the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks have met in the Finals, but the situation has changed dramatically since five years ago.

That year, although the Heat had O'Neal, a historical monster. But in fact, it was Wade's excellent performance that completely killed the series.

Thinking of this, Nowitzki couldn't help looking at Yiyang who was stretching his legs. This guy is Dwyane Wade from Dallas!

Since being overturned in 2006, Nowitzki has been thinking about revenge, and this year he finally got the best chance. After eliminating the Lakers in the Western Conference, the Mavericks had a smooth journey, coming to the same stage and facing the same opponent. This may be Nowitzki's last chance, after all, who knows how strong the Heat will be next season? Since there is an opportunity, the Germans will not let go this time!

The centers of the two sides stood in the middle circle, and everyone stared at their matchup. Under the deafening cheers of the fans, the referee threw the basketball high. Tyson Chandler acted like he had a spring on his foot. He was a palm's height ahead of Joe Anthony, and easily turned the ball into his own half.

The ball fell into the hands of Marion, and Marion handed the ball to Yiyang, and the Mavericks pressed on! Whether the O'Brien Cup can stay in Dallas, every offense and defense from now on will affect the final outcome!

In the first attack in the opening game, Wade defended himself in front of Yiyang. From the first second, the Heat intend to come up with the toughest defense.

Maybe it's because they have been pushed to the edge of a corner, so the Heat's defense is really tough today. They knew that if the Mavericks won another game, it would all be over for the season. The Heat don't want to lose yet, and they still have hopes for the championship.

Nowitzki was not sick today, but he felt that it was more difficult for him to handle Bosh's defense. Bosh played perhaps the toughest game of the season, and Nowitzki is not even stable in position, let alone scoring with the ball.

Seeing that Nowitzki hadn't reached his position, Yiyang gave the ball to Marion. Before Marion received the basketball and started to dribble, he was closely defended by James. Marion was forced to the sideline, he couldn't play the ball, and he was even in danger of going out of bounds at any time.

In desperation, Marion had no choice but to return the ball to Yiyang. Yiyang stared at Nowitzki, pretending to put the ball on the top of Wade's head, looking like he was about to pass the ball.

However, Yiyang quickly retracted the ball, accelerated and stabbed towards Wade's right. Wade's reaction was half a beat slower, but it was enough for Yiyang to surpass half a body.

Yiyang plunged into the crowd and jumped up for a layup. The speed with which he breaks through,

Let Bosh and Joe. Anthony two insiders can't even make up the defense in time. Wade's tight pursuit made Yiyang lose his balance in the air, but he still stabilized his shooter and gently tossed the ball towards the basket.

The basketball crashed into the net, and Yiyang also fell to the ground. With the Heat's defense so tight, Yiyang, a rookie, stood up and broke the deadlock! Wade looked at Yiyang who quickly got up from the floor, and it seemed that he was full of shadows from five years ago.

"Yi's breakthrough is still as sharp as a sharp knife. When his teammates have no chance, he can stand up and solve the problem. For a rookie player, this is very rare."

"If you didn't say that, I'd have forgotten he was a rookie, Charles. Super rookie, I guess, would be a better word for him."

Although Yiyang's goal was very exciting, it did not dampen the determination of the Heat. After the offense came, James showed great aggression. He got into a rough hand-to-hand fight with Marion before he could catch the ball. Pushing and pushing again and again made the smell of gunpowder between the two sides soar.

In the end, James went outside the three-point line and received a pass from Wade. Meanwhile, Bosh picks and rolls. Without hesitation, James immediately broke through in the direction of the pick-and-roll.

Marion wanted to catch up with James, but under Bosh's block, the No. 0 forward could only watch the "humanoid tank" press into the inside.

Nowitzki bravely stepped forward to block, and he did not fail to withstand the impact of James in the first few games. But today, the angry LeBron is obviously different from the previous few days. The humiliation of only scoring 8 points in the last game made him unable to even forgive himself. In this match, I must avenge my shame!

The two collided forcefully together, but the impact this time was obviously far beyond Nowitzki's expectations. Pushed by this force, Nowitzki staggered two steps and fell to the ground. James jumped up and dunked with one hand, pulling his proud "head" down to the basket.

After landing, James did not return to defense immediately, but stood in front of Nowitzki, glaring condescendingly at the German for a few seconds.

"Go away!" Seeing this situation, Stevenson deliberately pushed James away with his shoulder, and then walked up to pull Nowitzki up. Wade also hurriedly pulled James away, fearing that the incident would escalate.

"It's okay, play the game well, don't be impulsive!" Nowitzki was not angry with James. After he stood up, he reminded his teammates to keep calm. If you lose your mind because of this incident, it will only be the Mavericks who will suffer.

But sometimes, anger cannot be controlled with a few words. Another attack, Nowitzki rushed to Yiyang for the ball, and Bosh behind the German was not honest. Before receiving the ball, Dirk had already greeted several dark elbows.

After Nowitzki got the basketball, he leaned back suddenly, maybe the movement was a little big, and he raised his elbow slightly. But Bosh seized this opportunity in a daze, and fell back by himself. It seems that Dirk Nowitzki's efforts will overthrow the "innocent" Bosh.

The referee was deceived by Bosh's realistic fall. He blew the whistle in his mouth, and Nowitzki spread his arms in surprise.

"This is a flop!" Nowitzki bluntly stated, at the same time, the fans booed violently, putting pressure on the referee.

James ignored those, he directly took the basketball from Nowitzki, and passed it to Joe Anthony to signal the opponent to send the baseline ball.

"Damn it!" Stevenson cursed secretly, but was held back by Marion. This is also because Nowitzki has a good temper. If it were someone else, if James did this, it might have caused a conflict.

"The smell of gunpowder between the two sides is really strong today. Although the previous few games were fierce, the atmosphere of the game was quite friendly. But today, the two teams really can't tolerate each other!"

"After all, this is a game that determines whether the championship will be produced. For the championship, all etiquette and friendship have to be put down first. LeBron didn't intend to provoke Dirk and the Mavericks, he just wanted to win too much!"

Kenny Smith fully expressed James' inner voice, wanting to win too much, which is why James is so aggressive. The embarrassing statistic of 8 points in a single game has been lingering in his mind. If he doesn't play a good game, he will never let himself go for the rest of his life. Superstars, are paranoid!

An unexpected foul allowed the Heat to regain possession of the offensive ball. It was difficult for Wade to get a chance under Yiyang's tight defense. The omnipotent "Flash" in the last game began to look for his teammates. At this moment, Bosh raised his arm.

Originally, Wade didn't want to pass the ball to Bosh, because Bosh's current position is actually not good. But Bosh was so persistent that he even yelled at Wade.

There was no other way, so Wade had to carefully pass the ball past Yiyang. Bosh received the basketball, and what greeted him was Dirk Nowitzki's unrelenting defense.

"An impregnable defense, what will Chris Bosh do!?"

So far in the series, Bosh has been overwhelmed by Nowitzki in every game. Even in the game where Nowitzki had a fever, Bosh couldn't beat the German. Like James, Bosh also wants to prove himself at this last moment and help the team tide over the difficulties!

Seeing that Nowitzki's top defense was very tough, Bosh simply turned around suddenly and went to the basket to kill!

"Dragon King" seems to have found the feeling when he was playing in the Raptors. His turn was very fast. Nowitzki didn't react at once, and Bosh surpassed him by half a body.

Chandler immediately left Joe. Anthony rushed to the basket, but Bosh did not stop his footsteps. He leapt, sideways in the air to avoid Chandler, stretched his long arms and dunked the basketball into the hoop.

At the moment when Bosh dunked successfully, Nowitzki, who was chasing back from behind, also hit the arm of "Dragon King". The referee did not let go of this foul. Today the referee's whistle is extremely strict. God knows, if the alliance is playing tricks behind the scenes again. After all, the finals ended too early, which is not good for the league's money-absorbing business.

"The referee called a foul. Let's see if it was called for Dirk or Chandler! If it was called for Dirk, then he may have to watch the game after accumulating two fouls! Barkley stood up excitedly, stretched his neck and looked into the field.

The referee pointed to Nowitzki, and then pointed to the technical table. "Mavericks No. 41, shooting foul!"

"What!?" Carlisle was suddenly furious.

"It's me, I made the foul!" Chandler was the first to rush to the referee. He may have never expected the referee to award the foul to himself.

Bosh and teammates high-five, this scene is greatly stimulated the nerves of the Mavericks fans.

"How fucking shameless!"

"Get out, Chris!"

"You jerk, Bosh!"

However, the fans' shouts could not change the fact that Nowitzki was sentenced to two fouls, and Carlisle replaced Dirk with Peja. Marion made it to the fourth position, and Peja played the third. In an instant, the Mavericks lost their most threatening scoring point.

When off the court, Nowitzki did not forget to remind his teammates to control their mentality. But it is obvious that the players on both sides are gradually heading in the direction of losing control.

Yiyang calmly waited for Bosh's free throw, while Stevenson was gearing up, as if eagerly waiting for something else.

The game that decides who the championship belongs to will not pass smoothly. Once the smell of gunpowder starts to spread, it's hard not to spark.

A solid hand-to-hand battle is about to spread throughout the audience! Who will have the last laugh is not certain.
