Chapter 172 Finals (3)

The Kings attacked, and Jiang Yan slowly came to the frontcourt, not intending to play a fast break at all.

Jiang Yan followed the conventional tactics to allow the team to score more stably.

The game continued to move forward in such an atmosphere. After the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 66:67.

The home team is at the back and the visiting team is at the front.

The Kings are temporarily behind by one point.

However, in these three quarters, Jiang Yan could see that although James is the boss in name, Wade will usually be used for important offenses.

As for Bosh, he has been tortured by Aldridge to the point of doubting his life now!

Aldridge scored so many points on his head in this game tonight, it can be said that he blown up the All-Star player.

Jiang Yan has never been involved in the Big Three's defense. He has been following Chalmers closely, never allowing him to get an open three-pointer.

In these three quarters of the two teams, you scored one goal and I scored the other. Even though the Heat had the Big Three, the Kings did not fall behind.

Because the Kings have Garcia who can shoot three-pointers, Salmons who can cut and attack the basket, and Aminu and Aldridge who can eat singles.

In the first three quarters of the game, except for two attacks in the first quarter, Jiang Yan spent the rest of the time sorting out the team's offense.

What really determines the outcome of the game is the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jiang Yan came on the court, and he will play the entire game in this quarter!
Jiang Yan brought the substitutes against James, Wade and the Heat with the substitutes.

In the bench lineup, the Kings have an obvious advantage, that is Jason Thompson, of course, this is compared to the Heat's Haslem.

The player Haslem is now as high as 34 years old, which is inevitable for an inside player to slow down his movement speed.

Jiang Yan frequently asks Jason to play a pick-and-roll with her, and then asks Jason to roll down, receive his pass, or dunk or draw a foul.

In just 2 minutes, Jason scored eight points, blasting the Heat inside.

The Filipinos standing on the sidelines had no choice but to let the other two giants play in advance.

Larry Brown also took this opportunity to let the Kings' starting lineup play, and the Heat came to compete in the last 10 minutes of this game!
After the Heat handed over the basketball to James, all the other players pulled away, especially the pitcher Lewis. He and Chalmers had a corner on one side, which made people have to guard against it!
After James took a step back, he accelerated and rushed up. Aminu tried his best to defend, but with his physique, Aminu still couldn't block James' impact and let the latter enter the inside line.

But Aldridge has been observing here. Larry Brown said that Wade can't help defending when he hits the inside, but James must help defend when he hits the inside. If James passes the ball, let him pass it to Bosh. Letting him shoot is always lower than James' shooting rate at the basket!
James passed the ball to Bosh under the siege of Aldridge and Aminu.

After Bosh received the ball, he made a direct shot.

"boom!"

The Kings gambled right this time. They chose to let Bosh shoot instead of James layup, allowing the Heat's players to attack away from the basket.

Aldridge caught James and got the rebound.

The ball was passed to Jiang Yan, and then the Kings players slowly came to the frontcourt step by step.

Jiang Yan faced Wade's defense. He asked Aldridge to pick and roll for himself, and then passed the ball back to Aldridge.

Aldridge stuck Wade in the mid-range position, used his trademark turnaround jumper, and scored directly.

76: 69.

The point difference remained at seven points.

The Heat attacked, James directly controlled the ball across the half court, stood outside the three-point line, and passed the ball directly to Wade.

Wade chewed gum, puffed out his big cheeks, and looked at Garcia in front of him.

He felt that the Kings' ability to enter the finals was really not a fuel-efficient lamp. At least the Kings' defense was the strongest he had ever seen!
The Heat's defense is impenetrable. In the regular season, the Heat's offensive firepower is considered to be at the forefront of the entire league, averaging 113 points per game, but the Kings' defensive ability can only be regarded as the tenth in the league, which is considered to be at the middle level of the league.

But after entering the playoffs, the Kings' defensive ability has actually reached a big level. It can be said that the Kings' defense is now the best in the league.

Let alone the offense of the Kings, will it be worse under Jiang Yan's organization?

Wade looked at Garcia, who was standing one and a half steps away from him, feeling very helpless. He also wanted to shoot, but the shooting percentage was not high!
Now what the Heat need to ensure is effective scoring!
Wade had to use his lost step, but the lost step hurt his ankle too much.

The team doctor strongly advises Wade not to play like this again, his ankle has suffered a lot in the early stages of his career!
Gritting his teeth, Wade can only score in this way when the team has no hope of scoring. This is also the reason for watching Wade in desperation!
In the end, if Wade passed Garcia through the lost track, he would get the precious two points.

But the dull pain in the ankle told Wade that in the next round, he couldn't attack like this again!

However, when the Kings succeeded in another attack and opened the score to seven points, when it was the Heat's turn to attack, the ball was handed over to Wade.

Wade had no choice but to use the lost step to score again!
In the next few minutes, the Heat let Wade attack all, rushing to the king's inside line like a lone hero.

Under Larry Brown's emphasis, the Kings are to help defend James, prevent James from hitting the inside and score, empty Bosh, and defend Wade alone.

Facing Garcia's defense, Wade had to play infinite singles alone.

Scoring 19 points in a single quarter, with only 15 seconds left in the end, the Heat trailed the Kings by 1 point, and the offensive ball was in the hands of the Heat.

The Heat called a timeout, and Spoelaster picked up the tactical board. He originally wanted to arrange for James to execute the last attack, but James directly pointed out that the last attack should be for Wade to attack!

Wade was silent the whole time. In fact, when the head coach asked James to execute the final attack, he felt uncomfortable. The reason why the Heat are only one point behind is not the result of his efforts to score.

However, when arranging the final attack, James was allowed to execute it, which undoubtedly denied his efforts!

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. After he passed the ball directly to Wade, he stood directly at halftime, and Aminu was involved in the midfield position.

Wade holds the ball or faces Garcia's defense alone.

Just after the timeout, Larry Brown did not criticize Garcia's unsuccessful defense in the last quarter, but praised Garcia's hard work in defense.

Everyone knows that Wade's explosion in the last quarter has a price. The whole league knows that Wade's ankle is injured, but Wade's offensive methods in the last quarter are all lost steps.

One can imagine how much pressure on the ankle!

In the last 15 seconds, Larry Brown still chose to believe in Garcia and let Garcia continue to defend Wade alone.

This round of the series is not just one game, but seven games. If this game is lost, but Garcia can defend Wade in the next game, then the loss of this game is worth it.

Regardless of the pain in his ankle again, Wade used the lost step, one step and two steps, trying to hide Garcia again.

Garcia was cheated by Wade for a period of time. At this moment, his soul possessed him, and he firmly fixed his center of gravity, and Wade did not deceive him at all.

When Wade took a step sideways to shoot, Garcia just jumped up obliquely, and his palm just slapped Wade in the air.

Wade was flying in the air. Seeing that Garcia's hand was about to touch the basketball in his hand, he had to slightly increase the shooting arc.

After the shot was made, Wade landed and immediately shouted to the inside: "Rebound!"

At this time, there are still two seconds left.

Bosh heard the words and quickly stuck Aldridge trying to grab a rebound.

But………
