Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Seeing Jamison standing on the sidelines ready to fight, Wu Di felt mixed feelings.

Both are professional athletes, and you don't need to ask, Jamison had the infamous block shot.

Blocking needles, also known as block therapy, are injections of local anesthetics into local tissues to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and loosen adhesions.

Jamison's hamstring strain will not heal, but the pain and soreness will disappear temporarily, and he can play forcibly regardless of the injury.

Playing forcibly is equivalent to making a deal with the devil. If you are not careful, your entire career will be ruined, and the risk is extremely high.

McGrady's pinnacle fell because of this shot.

In the 08 playoffs, the Rockets trailed 3-2 and were forced to the edge of a cliff by the Jazz. McGrady ignored the dissuasion of the team doctor and forcibly played closed.

Although McGrady scored 40 points in that game, the Rockets were eliminated by the Jazz in the end.

In the second year, McGrady came back, and Yao Ming also returned from injury. However, McGrady, who was just over 29 years old, suffered injuries after the injection and was no longer in shape, missing the entire playoffs.

In the end, in the 09 playoffs, the Rockets lost 4-3 to the Lakers, the champion of the year, leaving the Yao-Mai combination with an unsatisfactory ending.

Playing forcibly in a closed game is basically tantamount to betting his career.

Smart people won't do this, like Chris Paul, no matter how much the team needs him, he will never take this risk.

But Jamison still played, at the last moment of G7!

"Damn, why are you so stupid, don't you know that next year is your contract year?"

Before Wu Di could speak, Davis first fired at Jamison.

"I know, but if I can touch the floor of the finals, my life will be worth it..."

As a veteran, Jamieson is very clear that after this injection, his contract extension of tens of millions of dollars may only be left with a basic salary, and whether he can even renew the contract is a problem...

But he still chose to play closed without hesitation!
Jamison looked at Wu Di. This season, it was Wu Di who led him to change his style of play, thus rejuvenating the second spring of his career.

Now, although Wu Di didn't say it clearly, he also knew that Wu Di needed him and the team needed him.

In this case, how can he stand by and watch?

"But there's no need to force it. Don't you still have a chance next year?"

Even the onlooker referee couldn't help persuading him that he had seen too many players who died prematurely due to the closed injection, and given Jamison's age and physical condition, this injection can be directly classified as a retirement injection...

"I'll talk about next year's events next year. All I know is that this year is the closest I've come to the finals!"

Jamison's tone was firmer than ever!
He is not Jordan. Although he can still play for a few more years, his peak period has passed. If he does not fight hard and changes next year, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Idiot! We can win without you! You just sit on the sidelines and wait for the finals!"

Wu Di couldn't help cursing when he heard the words, although this game was difficult, he didn't think they would definitely lose.

And if Jamison insists on playing with an injury, then they will have to work hard to find a strong power forward next year...

Jamison didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and made a fist with Wu Di.

Maybe what Wu Di said is right, but this game is G7 in the Eastern Conference finals, there is no room for any mistakes, it is worth the risk for him...

Seeing this, Wu Di stopped arguing with him and just nodded.

A group of Cavaliers players have been infected by the fighting spirit shown by Jamison, and even the head coach Scott was moved.

Jamison is the captain of the team, but he is usually low-key and doesn't even talk much, but everyone knows that he is a tough man, and this time it has come true!
The game continued. Although the Heat still led 90-95, the style of the game changed suddenly.

After Jamison replaced the crappy Samuels, the Cavaliers' on-court cooperation instantly improved by more than one level, and Wu Di instantly felt countless cracks in the originally indestructible Heat's defensive formation!
"Defense! (Defense!)"

More than 2 Heat fans shouted hysterically, their unprecedented anger!
The honey of the knight, the arsenic of the heat!
First, Davis had a fake fracture and a real cramp, and then Jamison forced himself to play!

The knight's "wolf ambition" makes them tremble, makes them tremble!
The Miami people changed their smug expressions just now. This is the American Airlines Arena, the home of the Heat. They must not let the Cavaliers come back!
But it was useless, Wu Di led the crowd to play a vice city tactic again, Jamison and Parker blocked James and Wade tightly, Davis bypassed Bibby, and passed the ball to Wu Di who ran out of the open space!
Snapped!
The crisp sound of catching the ball sounded, and Wu Di completed the posture adjustment while catching the ball!

Under the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, Wu Di pulled it up fiercely, his eyes looking at the basket were extra firm, his elbow perfectly outlined a 45-degree angle, and then his wrist slid lightly...

Miller's make-up was a step too late, and the basketball flew high over his block and into the middle of the rim!
【Ding!It was detected that the host scored +3 in the playoffs against the Heat, and the wealth value arrived, +60000 dollars! 】

The sound of "swish" was drowned out by the overwhelming boos at the scene, but the system prompt sound in Wu Di's mind was extremely pleasant!
93-95!

Wu Di gasped heavily, only 2 points away!

And the time is close to 4 minutes!
beep!
Riley had to call a timeout.

Looking at the Heat players who seemed to have lost their souls, Riley slapped the tactical board and cursed fiercely:
"What are you doing there leisurely? Is there a lot of time? Come here quickly!"

However, when all the Heat players ran over, Riley stopped talking and just stared at James with unusually cold eyes.

James lowered his proud head. Just now, he still felt wronged, but now he understands that it is not an exaggeration to cut him into pieces...

In this wave, the Cavaliers not only recovered their lineup strength, but also boosted their morale!

Although they are still ahead in the score, in fact, they will be overtaken in minutes and fall into a situation where there is no end to redemption...

And if they end up losing the game, there's no way he'll be able to explain to his fans how despicable it is and still lose the game...

Riley saw him like this, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Even the Cavaliers were surprised that Jamison forced his way into the game, but it was within his expectation.

With Wu Di as the leader, the Cavaliers team has completely transformed into an iron-blooded army!

When encountering this kind of opponent, you can only confront it head-on, you can only compete with someone who is tougher, there is no shortcut!
However, James is still thinking of taking shortcuts with despicable means, even disobeying his orders!

"James, I think you have something to say to everyone!"

Riley's tone was unprecedentedly harsh. Now the team needs one person to stand up and take the blame.

"Guys, I screwed up!"

James bit his lip and said, helplessly taking the blame that Riley assigned to him.

He felt an unprecedented embarrassment, and even missed Cleveland. In Cleveland, he would be treated like an emperor by the fans, coaches, and bosses. Here, as long as he can't win, he will do anything wrong. ...

However, at this moment, his business sense still overwhelmed his emotions. He couldn't bear the consequences of such a loss, but if he wanted to make a comeback, he could only count on the strength of his teammates, so he took a deep breath and encouraged everyone:
"I will take the lead in the charge and try to make up for it! Brothers, don't be discouraged, we are still ahead! Even if Jamison returns, we are stronger than the Cavaliers, and the godfather will definitely have a solution..."

Riley nodded coldly, James is still very good at fooling people, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a good relationship with the media.

He shook his suit and said, "Three strategies..."

The game continued, James went deep inside and wanted to catch the ball, but he was stuck by Wu Di, coupled with the active defense of the Cavaliers, James was completely at a loss and did not find a good opportunity.

Bibby could only pass the ball to Wade.

Facing Parker, Wade pulled out the outside line and stopped and started in a row. After tearing Parker's defense line, he lowered his head and rushed towards the inside line!
Wu Di gritted his teeth and stepped forward with legs that seemed to be full of lead. In this game, although he had cramps in the second quarter, he hadn't rested for a minute. He really carried the team on his shoulders.

However, facing his supplementary defense, Wade did not hide at all. Instead, he combined the ball and used a European step, swaying left and right to carry Wu Di for a layup!

But Wu Di was suddenly shocked!
He thought that he had already carried four criminals on his body, so he slammed on the brakes, and then straightened his arms!
Wade's eyelids twitched, and after Wu Di saw his intentions, he was not annoyed. He took a big step in the second step, circled around and scored a layup with a hook!

93-97!

This is Riley's first strategy. The primary goal is to make Wu Di foul. In order to avoid it, Wu Di will give way instead, and then resolutely score.

Scott immediately became anxious like an ant in a hot pot, and kept pacing on the sidelines. This move hit the Cavaliers' vitals!

However, cheers erupted in the American Airlines Arena!

Wade's ball was so uplifting that he pulled the Heat back from the edge of the cliff!
"It's over! Cleveland idiots, the Heat have won this game!"

The commentator Ferentino yelled while holding the OK gesture, trying to strengthen the momentum of the Heat.

"The goal now is to defend against the Cavaliers' shot! Don't worry, the Heat boys, the Cavaliers' physical fitness is a big problem now..."

Hardaway on the side analyzed, but before he finished speaking, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded!

When Davis just dribbled through the midfield, Bibby stepped forward to press hard, but was blocked by the experienced Davis and called a thug foul.

This is Riley's second strategy.

Joel Anthony, who has the most players on the Heat, was called four fouls, and none of the other players had more than three fouls. The Heat have room for foul tactics.

Although the Cavaliers' free throws are very bad Jordan has been reimbursed, but foul tactics can still interrupt the Cavaliers' normal offensive rhythm and delay time.

The number of fouls by the Heat in this quarter has not yet reached four times, and this thug foul is not enough for the Cavaliers to make free throws.

Jamison sent the sideline ball, Miller directly gave up Jamison and came to help James double-team Wu Di.

Seeing this, Wu Di ran directly to the opposite side. Miller hesitated for a moment. Although he came to double-team Wu Di, Jamieson is now full of energy and cannot let go...

However, Wu Di suddenly ran back when he was sluggish, and used Love to trap the clumsy James to complete the catch!

Wade immediately defended, but it was too late, Wu Di took a step back immediately after receiving the ball——

beep!
The whistle sounded again, and James fouled Love without the ball!
The sound of the net sounded, and Wu Di took a step back and hit a three-pointer!
However, the referee said that the ball was invalid and James had already fouled in advance.

"Hey, it's outrageous! How can this ball be blown like this?"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley's face was full of disbelief:

"The scale of blowing the whole game was relatively loose, even LeBron didn't blow the kick that stepped on Jamison, and now he blows the off-ball foul so strictly..."

"Be careful, Lao Zha!"

Kenny Smith shook his head and curled his lips. According to the league's regulations, the commentator cannot criticize the referee's penalty.

"The penalty for this ball couldn't be clearer, it was an obvious off-ball foul, and it was before Wu Di made a shot."

Karl Malone sneered.

Barkley stopped talking, just stared at him with his eyes squinted and his mouth crooked.

Kevin Dolan knew that Barkley was really angry, so he quickly changed the topic and explained:
"Love walked to the free throw line, the first free throw...hit! The second free throw, hit again! 95-97, the game returned to the 2-point duel again..."

Wade slowly transported halftime, and the time was dragged to the beginning of 2.

"Antoine, switch defenses with Wu Di!"

Scott yelled towards the field with his hands in the shape of a big horn. He just went through a quick deduction and figured out that this is not a solution.

Jamison was injured, and it was difficult for him to guard against James before, but now he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, otherwise the Cavaliers will only be more cautious after Wu Di has five offenses on his back.

The two immediately switched teams when they heard the words, and Wade immediately passed the ball to James, expecting James to attack and score.

However, a dramatic scene appeared. James had started to lose his physical fitness because of a lot of tank breakthroughs, while Jamison rested a lot of time, and the two were evenly matched for a while!
Time passed quickly, James tried many times, but still failed to find a breakthrough. In the 5th second, he flicked his arm and passed it to Joel Anthony!

The pass was very accurate, and it directly passed Love's shoulder to Joel Anthony's hands.

But Joel Anthony is a defensive player, and he can only dunk inward on offense, but how could Love let him arch inward at this time?

"what!"

Love yelled, and his legs seemed to be stuck in the ground, and he refused to give an inch. Joel Anthony couldn't resist, so he had to throw a shot!
beep!
The beeping of the end of the timer was remembered, and Joel Anthony turned his head and glanced in the direction of Lao Zhan resentfully.

Bang!
The basketball hit the side of the basket and bounced off. Wu Di instantly judged where the basketball was going to fall, and rushed over!
At the same time, James and Joel Anthony, who are closer, judged the position of the rebound!

Joel Anthony immediately made a posture to get stuck, James was about to rush over, but Jamison blocked him!
Bang!
Jamison was slammed to the ground by James, but even James fell down!

Only Joel Anthony and Wu Di are left to compete!
In Wu Di's mind, the stamping master's badge shimmered!
Rebound ability instantly increased by 20%!

The rebounding attribute instantly increased from 83 to the legendary range of 99.6!
He jumped high and grabbed the rebound in front of Joel Anthony!
"Gift Crab..."

"Mademark..."

The Miami people looked at Wu Di's figure rushing towards the Heat's backcourt and yelled and cursed. Just now they were saying that the game was over, but in a blink of an eye, the Cavaliers were going to overtake?
The Heat players rushed towards the Cavaliers around them one after another, but after the first few waves, the Cavaliers had already taken precautions and scattered around, buying Wu Di precious time for fast breaks!
However, in this way, Wu Di became a lone army, and Lao Zhan strode after him!

Wu Di's speed attribute was only 90, and he was still dribbling. He was quickly overtaken by Lao Zhan, but he had expected it and made an emergency stop!

Slightly——

creak!

The harsh sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor sounded, and James stopped this time!
James' eyes were red, he was guarding against Wu Di even in his dreams, and finally he was not fooled by Wu Di at this moment!
But Wu Di had expected it a long time ago, and went directly to carry James forward!
James' eyes became even redder, and Wu Di ignored his defense!
He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands towards Wu Digai!

Even if he fouls this ball, he will block Wu Di!
For a moment, James' big hand directly covered Wu Di's sky, and he couldn't even see the spotlight on the ceiling!

But it didn't work!

In Wu Di's mind, the will to fly is as hard as iron!
The flying badge is slightly bright, and the jump shooting ability is increased by 20%!

The jump shot attribute instantly increased from 100 to the highest unknown range!

A prehistoric force instantly poured into Wu Di's waist!

Wu Di turned sideways in the air, supported James' blocked arm with his left hand and drifted to the right, and at the same time, his right hand pressed his wrist to the limit one second before he lost his balance.
Drift three points in the air!

beep!
The whistle sounded, the referee raised his right hand to indicate that the shot was valid, and at the same time James made a personal foul!
The basketball spun and flew towards the center of the bottom edge of the backboard!

Bang!
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced towards the hoop, then spun quickly on the hoop, and all the players rushed to the hoop and started to get stuck...

More than 2 Heat fans held their breath and stared at the basketball in the air!
The score has come to 95-97. If this goal is hit again, and then another free throw is made, the Heat will instantly change from leading by 2 points to trailing by 2 points!
Some excited fans uttered "Wooo~" strangely along with the rotation of the basketball...

However, the basketball has a mind of its own and slips into the net after another spin!

98-97!

"Nooo..."

The Heat fans on the scene broke their defenses one after another, and when the time was 2 minutes and 35 seconds, the Cavaliers actually overtook it!
"It's unbelievable! Did my eyes see it wrong? This can all go into..."

At the Heat's commentary seat, Ferentino put his hands in his hair, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"There are accidents everywhere in life, and of course the playoffs are no exception! But there is still a lot of time, the ball is on the Heat's side, we still have a chance, we still have a chance..."

Hardaway comforted with a trembling voice, this game reminded him of his 98-99 season.

That season, the Heat were upset by their rival Knicks to complete the black eight, and the Knicks finally rushed to the finals...

Wu Di walked to the free throw line, and the Heat fans were in a rage, shouting and cursing.

James was so anxious that he put his hands on his knees for a while, and put his hands on his hips for a while, and he didn't know where to put them.

"Trash! When it comes to the critical moment, you will lose the chain!"

Riley spat at James, James's truly effective offensive method is too simple, relying on tank-style breakthroughs, but at the most critical end of the game, his physical strength often starts to slow down, and James is very easy to be targeted at this time .

However, James still wants to hit the key ball. After being defended, he can only throw the pot away. Joel Anthony is not Bosh. How can he catch it in this situation?
He originally had a third strategy, which was not to play fast breaks, but to delay and maintain a 4-point lead.

But now, it's still dragging Nima!

"Godfather, what should we do now? Should we call a timeout?"

Spoelstra wiped his sweat, because there were more emergencies before, and now they only have the last short timeout left.

This short pause is usually reserved for the last minute, but now that the situation is critical, I don't care so much...

Riley shook his head. If he didn't think of a strange move, calling a timeout at this time would only disturb the morale of the army!

But not to mention the players on the field, even he is very confused now, unable to stop thinking about the consequences of losing the game...

"Godfather, I want to play!"

Just when the two were at a loss, a firm voice came from the bench, it was James!
James Jones!
Riley's eyes lit up instantly, and Jones once again impressed him!

At this time, the situation on the court has completely reversed. All the players are afraid to avoid it, fearing that they will be blamed for losing the key game, but Jones has stood up!
Riley held out his hand, Jones leaned over, and Riley patted him on the shoulder:

"Good boy! You will replace Miller later!"

At the same time, Wu Di is pressing his wrist at the free throw line!

Swish!
Accompanied by the huge sound of regret in the American Airlines Arena, the basketball came out through the net!

99-97!

"Damn it, it's already 48 points. It really is a Jordan-type player. The more pressure you have, the better your performance!"

Riley couldn't help but praise in his heart, and at the same time shouted towards the court with his hands on the loudspeaker:
"D! You will organize the attack later, L, fall to the inside, ready to respond!"

Wade nodded and slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. The second-rate point guard adapted to the rhythm, while the first-rate point guard controlled the rhythm. With his rhythm, the restless Heat gradually settled down and returned to the normal game state.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and at 2 minutes and 20 seconds, Wade suddenly started, with full power, and instantly threw Parker half a body away!

Jamison immediately made up for it. He had only 2 fouls, and he was not afraid of Wade's fouls.

At the same time, Wu Di defended against James, and finally suppressed this guy, and now he can't let him out again!

The inside line was huddled together, but Wade suddenly swung his arm and successfully lobbed the ball to Jones who was running open!

Love ran to defend, but Jones raised his elbow and jumped without hesitation!
The basketball passed through the net, and the American Airlines Center suddenly boiled!
The Heat players immediately surrounded Jones, and James was even more excited:

"Well done, as expected of James!"

In the commentary seat, Ferentino patted his thigh excitedly and shouted:
"Yes! A three-pointer was hit! The Heat overtook! 99-100!"

Hardaway wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Big heart! Jones' three-pointer is really priceless!"

Offensive and defensive changes, Davis controlled the ball for halftime, and he was also not in a hurry to make a shot. After 2 minutes, Bibby suddenly stepped forward to steal again!

Davis suddenly started, turned around sharply, and stuck him behind him. Joel Anthony defended him, but Davis had already pulled the lever!

Bang!
The basketball hits the frame!

It just bounced in the direction of Wu Di!

Wu Di stuck Jones and jumped up to make a tip!
However, in the air, he was squeezed hard by the old Zhan who suddenly rushed over, and made a tip-up and hit the board!

The referee didn't blow!

The rebounds were moved back and forth by seven or eight big men in the interior. In the chaos, Bibi quickly grabbed the rebounds that were allocated to the outside!

Then he rushed towards the Cavaliers' backcourt without hesitation!

Everyone ran wildly, and the heat's smooth conduction advantage appeared at this time. Bibby passed it to Wade, and Wade passed it to James!

Instantly throw most of the Cavaliers away!

However, behind James, a figure followed him like a shadow!
It's Wu Di!
James felt a chill in his neck, and he never dared to underestimate Wu Di's block, but at this moment he suddenly thought of Riley's strategy of making him draw a foul!

When it comes to drawing fouls, he is absolutely good at it!
I saw him pause, and when Wu Di ran over, he rushed forward, wanting to make a big swing!
However, Wu Di had expected it!
When Lao Zhan left him behind, Wu Di could see Lao Zhan's careful thinking, so he saved his hand and slowed down by half a beat. This time, he just hit the brakes!

Wu Di's body slammed backwards, causing Lao Zhan's big swing to hit the air!

Lao Zhan almost vomited blood, he used his body flexibility to bring Wu Di in!
At the critical moment, Lao Zhan's master-level vision appeared, and he passed the ball before it hit the ground!

Wu Di looked in the direction of the ball, wow, it turned out to be Jones again!

The rest of the Cavaliers are also chasing and defending Wade and James, who are running fast, or preparing to grab rebounds. How can they notice Jones?
Jones made an open shot, and the basketball passed through the net again!

99-103!

There is still 1 minute and 29 seconds left! (end of this chapter)
