Chapter 514

June 6, Miami, American Airlines Center.

The final G3 between the Warriors and the Heat is being staged. Except for a few Warriors fans wearing blue and white jerseys, most of the audience are wearing white T-shirts, making noise and noise.

With a big score of 0:2 behind, the Heat came to the edge of the cliff. The atmosphere at the American Airlines Center should have been dignified, but the reality was completely different. Heat fans waved their placards and flags and cheered loudly for The home team is cheering, it seems that they are the leading side.

If you forget that this is a series, the Heat are indeed the leading side.

At this time, the game has progressed to 8 minutes and 23 seconds of the third quarter. The Heat lead the Warriors by 67 points at 53:14, and the initiative of the game has always been in the hands of the Heat.

The Big Three launched round after round of attacks on the Warriors' defense. The sharp whistles sounded frequently. James and Wade kept standing on the free throw line. The voices of the audience became louder and the Warriors players looked more depressed.

"Di-"

Another whistle sounded, and Chandler raised his hands in disbelief, and looked at the referee in puzzlement. The meaning was obvious, can this also be blown?
At this time, the big screen in midair played the replay of the round just now. After the pick-and-roll, James and Bosh used the cover to rush into the inside of the Warriors. Chandler went up to help defend. He raised his hands and retreated step by step. James Throwing on Chandler, raising his hands, the referee blew his whistle.

At this moment, the replay stopped abruptly, and the broadcaster seemed to realize that it could not be broadcast. The big screen began to show the wonderful scene of James rushing all the way, rushing into the inside and dunking several times before, and repeated it over and over again. stand up.

"Fack! These sons of bitches referees, Tyson didn't foul at all!" Cole quit. He got up and went to the referee to argue.

"Steve, don't be impulsive!" Zhang Yu held Cole tightly, his face was also full of anger, but he took a few deep breaths and still controlled himself.

It wasn't that Zhang Yu was calm enough. He yelled at the referee in the first half because he was dissatisfied with the penalty, and received a technical foul. If he loses his temper again, he will definitely be expelled.

Therefore, even though Zhang Yu was furious, he had to control his emotions and calm Cole's emotions.

The Warriors' situation is already difficult enough, and if they send the Heat a free throw for a technical foul, it will be even worse.

But Cole didn't want to give up. He was a very bad-tempered person, and even dared to punch Jordan. Cole couldn't stand such an unfair penalty.

"These XXX bastards definitely did it on purpose! The XX league, in order to keep the Heat winning, will lose face!" Cole raged.

"You also know that the league is shameless. No matter how much you protest, no matter how angry you are, you won't be able to change the referee's scale, and you will give the Heat more chances to make free throws. You must control yourself, Steve!" Zhang Yu said.

"I... Falk! The Heat will have two consecutive home games. If they win both, we will be in danger!" Cole said anxiously.

He also knew that the most important thing to do at this time was to calm down, but he really couldn't calm down.

The Warriors are going to play three consecutive away games in Miami. The first away game, the referee is so biased, who knows what the referee will do in the next two away games?
Zhang Yu held Cole's arm tightly and said in a low voice:

"Don't worry, the referee will only do this today. In the next two games, they will never dare to favor the Heat again."

Cole was taken aback, Zhang Yu continued to persuade:

"Today's referee, no, the league is trying to protect the Heat because we lead the Heat 2-0. This is the finals, not the first round or the second round. The league will never allow a 3-0 big score, so the referee will be right. The Heat are so biased, unless we win this game again today, the referees cannot continue to favor the Heat, and the league will not completely anger the fans."

Cole gradually calmed down after hearing this, Zhang Yu let go of his arm, but he was still dissatisfied and complained:

"We played 2-0 with our strength. The league is really shameless. In order to make the game more intense, we will do anything!"

However, Zhang Yu could see that Cole was just venting his grievances, and he would no longer act aggressively.

After all, Cole is also an old fritter who has been in the league for more than [-] years. He just hasn't experienced all this as a coach, and the championship is close at hand, so he is so angry.

"Don't you know the league's behavior style? Whoever is strong will suffer. If the Heat are leading 2:0 now, the referee will also favor us. It is not in the interests of the league, let alone the interests of advertisers. To make the game more intense and attractive is the purpose of the alliance." Zhang Yu said calmly.

"Then the referee couldn't just give Stephen 4 fouls in the first half, it's better to sentence us to lose!" Cole said angrily.

"If you don't do this, can the Heat win?" Zhang Yu sneered.

This is why Zhang Yu received a technical foul in the first half. At 1 minute and 23 seconds into the second quarter, Curry just slapped Wade on the counter with his hand in an offense, and the referee whistled for an offensive foul. That was Curry's fourth foul of the game.

Zhang Yu immediately lost his temper, rushed directly in front of the referee, roared loudly, questioned the referee's penalty, the referee did not back down, and immediately gave Zhang Yu another technical foul.

To be honest, after witnessing the epic call-offs in the 2016 Finals and the historic black whistle between the Warriors and the Timberwolves in the 2018-2019 season, Zhang Yu felt that it was difficult for a referee to make him feel angry.

But he still overestimated his endurance. Of Curry's 4 fouls in the first half, 2 of them were indeed fouls, and 1 was a blow or not. He didn't say anything, but just protested to the referee. .

But the fourth time was completely unwarranted. Zhang Yu really couldn't control his emotions and received a technical foul.

But it was this technical foul that made Zhang Yu immediately regain his composure.

This is the Finals, not the regular season.

If it was the regular season now, no matter who the opponent was, Zhang Yu would not bear it. He would definitely be furious at the referee and let out a bad breath, even if he was expelled from the game, he would not hesitate.

But this is the finals, no matter how small the chance of winning, you can't give up. After Zhang Yu got a T, he had to hold back his anger and replace Curry, so as not to get his fifth foul in the rest of the first half. Then the Warriors can simply concede defeat.

Before Curry got the fourth foul, the Warriors were only a few points behind the Heat. This is because the Heat relied on the advantage of free throws to establish a lead.

But after Curry left the field, the Warriors' offense was greatly weakened, and the Heat took the opportunity to open the score. Until now, the Heat have led the Warriors by 14 points, and James will soon stand on the free throw line.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Zhang Yu had no choice but to let go.

He turned to look at Curry, who was sitting in his seat, sullen, and said:
"Stephen, you go on the field and replace Isaiah!"

Curry was taken aback, then immediately got up from his seat and walked to the technical table.

He got off the court early because of two fouls in the first quarter, played for a few minutes in the second quarter, and got off the court because of four fouls. He didn't play for a long time in total.

Looking at Curry who was gearing up for a fight, Zhang Yu didn't feel excited at all. Instead, he shook his head slightly, his expression still very dignified.

After the start of the second half, in order to protect Curry and prevent him from receiving the fifth foul, he did not send him on the court.

However, seeing that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, the Warriors' offense is really inseparable from Curry. Zhang Yu had no choice but to replace him in advance.

But this also means that he has to bear the risk that Curry will get the fifth offender.

……

Facts have proved that one should never overestimate the integrity of a business alliance. They can do anything for their own interests.

After Curry came on the field, he immediately made a super long three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line to help the team stop the bleeding.

He has been completely irritated by the referee's whistle, sitting on the bench not only did not cool down Curry's hand, but instead aroused his competitiveness and stimulated his state.

When Curry was on the court, James made two free throws and widened the point difference to 15 points, which was also the biggest point difference between the two teams in this game.

But under the leadership of Curry, the Warriors set off a counterattack. In 3 minutes, they played a wave of 10:3 spurts, chasing the point difference to only 8 points.

Curry attracts pincers on the field, and the Heat's defensive attention is all on Curry. He is like a black hole, attracting the defense and eyes of the Heat players, and creating open three-pointers and air-cut layups for teammates. Opportunity, the Warriors' offense suddenly became clear and opened up the situation.

But just when the morale of the Warriors team was boosted and the counterattack momentum was set off, the referee made another shot.

James repeatedly picked and rolled Chalmers, and after failing twice, he finally switched Curry in front of him.

After Curry played, Spoelstra's tactics were very clear, that is, to spare no effort to attack Curry and take advantage of his foul trouble.

After the roll call was successful, James immediately singled Curry and broke through with the ball. Curry tried his best to block it, but as soon as James rushed up, the referee couldn't wait to blow his whistle-Curry blocked the foul!
"Good job, just blow like this!"

"I love you, CP3!"

The American Airlines Center was boiling, and the Heat fans whistled and shouted to celebrate Curry's fifth foul. They were happier than seeing the Heat score.

They know very well that the score is only temporary, and the Warriors can catch up. If Curry is sent off, the Heat will win!

After hearing the whistle, Curry turned his head to look at the referee. Seeing the referee's gesture, he froze for a moment, then immediately ran to the referee, spread his hands, and said loudly:

"Where did I make a foul? How can you brag like that?!"

The referee's eyes dodged a little, but he shook his head:
"This is a block..."

"You can look at the replay, I didn't block, I didn't block his breakthrough route, I kept retreating!" Curry said loudly.

"No, I trust my eyes more..."

"Then you shouldn't be blowing like that!" Curry's voice grew louder.

With one and a half quarters left in the game, he received his fifth foul. If he is replaced, the Warriors' counterattack momentum just now will definitely not last.

Hearing Curry's question, the referee's expression became serious, looked at Curry, and warned:

"Watch your attitude, Stephen!"

Curry ignored it:
"I'm paying attention, but you can't brag like that..."

"Stephen!"

At this time, a call came to Curry's ears, and he turned his head reflexively. Zhang Yu walked to the sideline closest to him, looked at him seriously, and said:

"Stop talking, come down and calm down."

"call--"

Curry let out a long breath, raised his hand helplessly, stopped complaining to the referee, lowered his head, walked back to the bench in frustration, sat down, hammered the chair next to him, and covered his face with a towel , sitting there with his head raised, without saying a word.

But the referee still called Curry a technical foul to punish him for disrespecting the referee.

Fortunately, technical fouls are not counted as ordinary fouls, otherwise Curry would have been sent off.

James stood at the free throw line and still made one of two free throws. Ray Allen executed a technical foul free throw and made the same hit. The point difference came to 10 points.

But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Curry is off the court, and the momentum of the Warriors chasing points was interrupted.

In the subsequent third quarter, Curry never played, and the Heat took this opportunity to once again widen the point difference to more than 10 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 87:71, the point difference came to 16 points, and Curry had 5 fouls, Chandler 4, Green 4, Butler 3, Clay 3, The Heat have a huge advantage.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Zhang Yu still left Curry on the bench and did not let him play.

Although Curry took the initiative to find Zhang Yu and asked him to play during the break, Zhang Yu remained unmoved.

The Warriors have also been unable to recover the point difference. The Heat have maintained a double-digit lead. The Warriors can only rely on tenacious defense to prevent the Heat from completely pulling the score away.

It wasn't until the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter that Zhang Yu sent Curry back to the court.

After Curry came on the court, the referee seemed to have completed the task and stopped making trouble for Curry. Curry has not received his sixth foul for a long time. He even cut the ball to Wade's arm once. The bottom line referee who was close at hand also turned a blind eye.

But the situation was irreversible. The Heat entered the last 17 minutes with a 5-point lead. The Warriors didn't have enough time and lost morale.

Curry played for 2 minutes, and the point difference was still hovering around 15 points. Zhang Yu simply called out the gold to withdraw, replaced the main force, and stopped struggling. The game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Warriors 108:95, tied the big score to 1:2, and pulled themselves back from the cliff.

After the game, Curry became so frustrated that he kicked a chair in the tunnel.

他这场比赛受限于犯规麻烦，仅仅出战29分钟，16投7中，三分10中4，罚球3中3，得到21分6助攻5篮板1抢断2失误5犯规1技犯。

After returning to the field for the second time, he was completely out of shape, scored no points and missed all three shots.

And Curry's poor performance in this game also rushed into the hot search after the game, whether it is from the United States or from China.
