Wade's words are chilling, but the Heat's momentum is getting higher and higher.
Nowitzki's "suspected injury" gave them great courage. They were like a group of ugly hyenas. When the lion was majestic, they fled timidly. But when the lion was injured, the smell of blood filled their noses.
When the time comes, they will swarm in frantically.
However, Fan Xi stood firmly in front of them. There was only one minute left in the game, and Fan Xi would not let these people take away the victory.
Fanci watched Wade's pace closely, but the basketball was sent directly to James.
James charged wildly, and he quickly reached the three-point line in the frontcourt. Leonard entangled him, but he ignored it and jumped directly to shoot. Leonard blocked the shot... beep!
The whistle sounded.
Leonard fouled.
boom!
James' shot missed the basket.
But he got three free throw opportunities.
Leonard raised his hands, very puzzled.
He didn't know where he fouled.
The slow motion shows that his long arm did not touch James, but...if it is true, it did infringe James' shooting cylinder a little bit.
However, it would be almost impossible for any referee to blow the whistle at this time.
What's more, this is Staples Arena.
The boos from the home court came like a flood.
James calmly walked to the free throw line.
He knew that the right time, place and people were right, and he was now standing at the crossroads of creating a miracle. If he took one step forward, he would achieve success and fame.
Whoosh!
James made the first free throw.
Whoosh!
The second one also hit steadily.
This is a very rare situation for James, whose free throw shooting percentage is not high among top scorers.
Soon, he aimed at the basket and shot his third free throw.
boom!
He deliberately hit the front edge of the basket. The moment he shot, Wade quickly sprinted into the penalty area from the left side of the three-point line, but at the same time, Fanci also sprinted in from the right side.
The two of them were like engaging in a unique sprint race.
Two people who are known for their speed face off against each other.
James made a wishful thinking.
Wade's sprint was arranged by him, but Wade was not the one who planned to compete for rebounds. He wanted Wade to rush in and muddy the water.
If you can touch the basketball, it's best to dial it out. If you can't touch it, just jam Jordan.
However, he ignored one fact.
That is, when Fanci entered the paint area, Fanci did not jump to fight for it. Instead, he quickly withstood Marcus Camby's kick.
Canby can't jump.
Yao Ming easily collected the rebound.
Repay the other person with his own way.
Fan Xi's move is far better than James'.
Yao Ming got the rebound and raised it high.
There are still 55 seconds left before the end of the game.
The Clippers lead by 9 points.
The basketball was then handed over to Fan Xi.
Fanci slowly advanced with the ball, but Wade kept harassing him. He didn't want to steal the rebound, he wanted to interfere with Fanci's ball control process. He wanted Fanci to speed up.
However, Fan Xi consumes time very smoothly.
He's hanging around the three-point line.
Wade was spewing trash talk in his ear: "If you can't hit this ball, the victory will be taken away from us. There will be no doubt. We will not make the mistakes of last year. Nowitzki is not here, and you will not be able to win."
You are not qualified to compete with us."
He wanted to force Fan Xi to take action.
He decided that Fanshie would be unable to do anything under his high-intensity defense.
Fan Xi ignored him.
When there were 9 seconds left in the attack time, Fan Xi launched an attack. Yao Ming stepped forward to cover again. Fan Xi quickly passed through Yao Ming's body and sprinted to the inside.
Wade was forced to switch to Yao Ming's side, and Marcus Camby was tracking the defender.
At the same time, James is also preparing to attack from a flank in the paint area.
But at this moment, Fan Xi suddenly retreated.
Camby quickly followed, and James made a move, but Fanci raised his hand covertly, and James immediately stopped moving. As long as he defended, Fanci would definitely pass the ball.
Therefore, he watched Fan Xi quickly retreat to the three-point line.
Just when Wade was about to switch defense, Fanci made a shooting motion and Marcus Camby jumped up instantly.
When Camby took off, Fancy didn't leave the ground.
When he stretched out in the air, Fan Xi bumped into him and shot the basketball... This was a classic foul.
Fan Xi almost took action under the cover of Camby, and after taking action, the two bodies collided with each other.
But...the referee didn't blow the whistle.
The league is too biased in favor of the Heat.
Even Kevin Garnett is banging the table right now.
Staples Arena was surprised, but then... swoosh!
The basketball penetrated the net.
God will not let you down if you work hard!
Basketball shot through the net.
With 32 seconds left in the game, the Clippers widened the point difference to 12 points.
Staples Arena erupted into the biggest cheers since the game.
This is an explosion after extreme depression.
After Fan Xi scored, he glanced at the referees indifferently.
He was disappointed.
Then, he looked at Wade: "That's all you can do. It's really embarrassing to play in the finals with the Big Three like you!"
Fan Xi had a look of disdain on his face. The sarcasm and contempt were so strong that people couldn't look directly at his expression.
Dwyane Wade is very calm. He has been in the league for many years. He knows that these cheap senses of justice are useless. There is no absolute fairness and justice in the adult world.
There's no way these things would have an impact on The Flash.
LeBron James has launched a fierce offensive, and they still insist on completing the 12-point counterattack in 32 seconds.
James continued to rush to the frontcourt, and this time he still made a quick pull-up jump shot.
The referee's whistle forced Leonard not to dare to press and defend, and he got an easy shot, but... bang!
The basket rejected him.
Yao, who has never been good at rebounding throughout his career, once again got a backcourt rebound, and a Heat player ran over and fouled him.
Yao Ming will go to the free throw line.
This is the significance of Yao playing at this time.
If DeAndre Jordan takes this rebound and lets him go to the free throw line, it will be a severe test for the Clippers. In fact, the Heat are already planning to take action against DeAndre Jordan.
Although the shark-killing tactic is disgusting, it is very effective.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Yao Ming raised the knife and hit consecutive free throws, making two free throws.
The point difference widened to 14 points, and the Heat's attack time only had 26 seconds left.
This time it was Wade who ran wildly, with Fan Xi chasing after him.
The two of them are like desperadoes galloping under the sunset, both with strong will. This is a life-and-death struggle.
Wade thought he had a chance to pull off a miraculous comeback.
So when he rushed to a place two meters away from the three-point line, he suddenly stopped, and then he jumped directly to shoot.
However, the moment he forced the shot, Fan Xi jumped up violently. His explosive power and jumping were at the top level in the league, and his wingspan was super long... Bang!
Fan Xi's fierce smash hit the basketball thrown by Wade directly to the floor.
The whole place was in an uproar.
Then there was a wave of cheers.
Wade wasn't expecting it, and the referee didn't even have time to blow the whistle.
But Fanxi had already landed quickly, and jumped forward as sharply as a bobcat. He grabbed the basketball and ran all the way. James came up to defend him, and Fanxi made an exaggerated change of direction and turned his back to knock him upside down.
Immediately, Fan Xi rushed into the paint area and ended the attack with a dunk.
There are 17 seconds left on the clock.
The Clippers lead by 16 points.
Beep!
Spoelstra requested a timeout.
He gave up.
There is always one person who has to stand up and declare surrender, and that person must be the head coach.
He can't let his superstars bow their heads, so he can only bear the blame.
He knew better than anyone that a miracle would not come. The 16-point difference would not be tied in 17 seconds.
Rather than let it go on like this, it would be better to end with dignity.
Wade seemed to know that after this timeout, he would not return to the game. So, he walked up to Fan Xi and asked Fan Xi: "Have you ever seen the finals where you fell behind 0:3 and went straight to win in four cities?"
A miracle?"
"You'll see it soon."
Wade looked unruly, even a little arrogant.
People who don't know think they are the winner of this game, not the Clippers.
Fan Xi looked at him indifferently and said to him: "Dwyane, if I can kill you once, I can kill you twice."
"Then we'll see!" Wade disagreed, shrugged and walked back to the bench.
The Heat replaced their main lineup, and Fan Xi also returned to the bench.
The last 17 seconds were unremarkable, with neither team scoring.
As the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Staples streamers filled the sky to celebrate their third victory in the Finals.
The Clippers got the match point, and their championship dream is within reach.
Just a final touch.
Everyone thought this would be a natural thing, because the partnership between Fanci and Nowitzki is so powerful.
"I think this year's Clippers are stronger than last year's Lakers." Garnett concluded on TV: "The partnership between Jack Fan and Nowitzki is so perfect. They are like an enhanced version of the Utah duo. The Miami Big Three
Maybe they can get a win in the next game, but there's no way they can take the game back to Miami. I'm responsible for that conclusion."
When Kevin Garnett said this.
Fan Xi and others were asking the team doctor about Nowitzki's condition on the bench. The team doctor's expression was solemn. He was sure of one thing: Nowitzki was not simply sprained. His condition was most likely a ligament rupture.
As the game ended, the team doctor also cut off Nowitzki's shoes. The swelling from the instep to the ankle was completely swollen, and the previous ice application had no effect in curbing it.
The players felt deep sadness in their hearts.
Nowitzki's injury will bring immeasurable losses to the Clippers. In the three wins in the finals, except for Nowitzki's foul trouble in the second game, the first and third games were all through him and Fan Xi.
The pick-and-roll connection was won.
It can be said that he is the most important part of the current Clippers tactics and one of the most important factors in extinguishing the Heat.
If he can't play next, then...the Clippers need to re-find their tactical system.
The Heat won't give the Clippers this chance.
The Clippers are originally short of major generals, and with the change of system...are they going to be counterattacked by others?
The Clippers bench was filled with pessimism, and there was no joy in winning the game and winning the match point.
Meanwhile, ESPN cameras finally captured Nowitzki's injured foot as the scene played on television.
First there was an uproar in the studio, and then the audience in front of the TV were also confused.
The originally excited fans felt like they had been poured cold water on them.
The fans who were originally disappointed were immediately ignited into a raging fire.
"If Nowitzki is seriously injured and unable to participate in subsequent games, then...the Miami Heat, which had no chance, will immediately gain a certain advantage." When Kevin Garnett watched Nowitzki being helped by his teammates to...a forklift
Up... The Clippers drove a truck in and transported Nowitzki out to avoid further injury to him.
"No! This is not a slight advantage, but a huge advantage. In any case, Miami has three superstars and the Clippers have one left. This advantage lies with the Heat." McBrin said straightforwardly.
His stance has always been toward Miami.
"Although Nowitzki's injury is a pity, competitive games can be so cruel sometimes. Six years ago, Nowitzki played the best performance of his career, but was reversed by the Heat in the Finals. That
Once it was 2:0 that was reversed. This time, the fateful cycle will turn into 3:0 that was reversed."
McBrin talks eloquently.
At the same time, the scene of Fan Xi being interviewed on the sidelines was transmitted to the TV.
"Jack, tonight you got 28 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Nowitzki got 43 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Your pick-and-roll combination won a great victory.
, successfully got the match point, and in your first season as a team owner, you will lead the team to win the championship. How are you feeling now?"
The reporter's questions were very friendly.
But Fan Xi couldn't get excited. He raised his eyebrows: "I'm very happy to see Dirk break the historical record in this game. He has always been the most offensive power forward in my mind. But, you just saw it.
, Dirk is injured, and none of us know the extent of his injury. This is why I have mixed emotions."
