Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 311 Wu Di only cares about the playoffs!

After James left the game, James Jones took his place.

Jones, as can be seen from his previous conflict with Wu Di, this guy has a natural tendency to express himself, and his first shot was an unreasonable three-pointer!

Anyway, if he scores, he can save the team. It doesn't matter if he loses. No one expects his small role to plug such a big hole!
呲!
Jones shot a three-pointer. George had been wary of this guy for a long time and interfered in time!

Facts have proved that James can't hit the key ball, and James Jones is also half-measured!

But Howard grabbed the basketball in the air!

The Heat's penalty area was not as crowded as before. At the same time, his mood took off after seeing James, the thorn in the side, injured. His waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer tired. On the spot, the little boy turned into a giant monster, carrying Shumpert and smashing into it. The dunk makes it two plus one!

And a rare free throw!
108-111!

The hearts of the Miami fans at the scene who had just hit rock bottom took off again!

But the Pacers didn't give in!
Paul George deceived Jones with a feint, then used George Hill's pick-and-roll to pass Jones, and then drove straight into the Heat penalty area without stopping. Wade gritted his teeth and held on, giving Chris Anderson the opportunity to double-team him. , but George suddenly jumped up and passed the ball to David West, who was open!

Howard immediately turned around and blocked the shot, but West took a step back like a chicken thief!
Howard didn't expect that the second player, West, could be so thoughtful. He could only watch helplessly as he approached and made a hook shot!

The basketball bounced on the rim twice and then fell into the net!
At the same time the whistle sounded again!

The fans at the scene booed, but West couldn't stand it and also made a free throw!
111-111!

The score between the two sides returned to a tie again!

In the next few rounds, both sides' physical strength was completely exhausted, and they couldn't find an open position at all. They took action and smashed the iron in various ways...

In the last minute, Wade burned his knees, squeezed out the last bit of energy, and successfully scored a two-pointer. The Heat temporarily took the lead!

James doesn’t want to face the Cavaliers in the first round, and Wade doesn’t want to either!
Ever since the Cavaliers won the championship, he felt aggrieved!
In fact, he never recruited James at all, only Bosh, but James live broadcast on TV his decision to bring his talents to the South Coast...

In other words, it was an unreasonable disaster for Wade to accept the grouping!
And Wu Di led the Cavaliers to win the championship, which was more like a slap in the face of the Heat generals!
Wade is hurt and aggrieved. Of course he wants to prove himself, and the only way to prove himself is to eliminate the Cavaliers and win the championship!
Facing the Cavaliers in the first round, the Heat, who have not yet completed their run-in, will definitely have to lie down. Coupled with the unknown situation of James' injury, they must win this game!
111-113!

But then, Paul miraculously hit a floating mid-range shot!
113-113!

And to make matters worse, Howard was blocked by Shumpert. Shumpert made a long pass and Lance Stephenson scored on the fast break!

115-113!

The atmosphere at the scene was about to condense, with less than 20 seconds left, but Wade unexpectedly made an awkward three-pointer from the top of the arc——

Bang!
The basketball hit the frame without any surprise, and everyone rushed to the backboard at the same time!

But Howard relied on his superb rebounding awareness to grab the rebound first!
Then he turned around and threw it to Ray Allen, who was desperately retreating!
Ray Allen made his jump shot based entirely on instinct!

George's block was a step too late!
The basketball swished through the net!

115-116!

The American Airlines Arena is in a boil, with 5.7 seconds left!
Pacers head coach Frank Vogel called a timeout, and when he came back, the Heat replaced Jones with Battier!

After West passed the ball to Paul George, he immediately came up to screen Battier. Battier was well prepared, taking advantage of the time difference to take a step ahead and then jumped up to block the shot without hesitation!

George really wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but Battier interfered so well that he could only reluctantly take the shot——

Bang!
The basketball hit the frame and Shumpert wanted to make a tip-in, but was directly pressed down by Howard!

beep!
The whistle sounds at the end of the game!

The Heat won with difficulty!

The Miami fans at the scene were immediately excited!

But after boiling, I found that I had nothing left!
This last game of the regular season was too exhausting!Double overtime, the playoffs are away in two days, and the Heat are really hard to beat!
And to make matters worse, after the game, James was diagnosed with a groin strain!
This kind of injury usually takes at least a month to recover. Even if James has a strong recovery ability, it will still take two weeks. In other words, James will most likely miss the first round of the series...

This result is simply unacceptable to Heat fans:

"Old James, if you go down early, you might win long ago!"

"That's right, Lao James is the number one reason why the Heat keep losing!"

"How can you say such sarcastic words? Are you really a Heat fan?"

"Oh my god, it's so narrow-minded. Without the inspiration of James' spirit, could the Heat win this crucial game?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuah, Emperor Zhan is so wronged! He even broke his leg and is still being accused!"

"So what if he breaks his leg, it's just for his own data, it's a cancer!"

"I'm just stating the facts. James and Howard are unable to bring out their full potential when they are on the court at the same time. What did Riley think, that he exchanged Bosh for such an embroidered pillow?"

"Haha, if you guys hadn't said last season that Bosh wasn't as good as DeAndre Jordan and the Heat were blown away inside, would Riley have traded Bosh for Howard?"

"The root of everything comes from Lao Zhan. He is already the boss of the team. If he had stood up and taken the blame last season and admitted that it was not Bosh's problem, then Riley would not have traded for Howard!"

"Am I the only one who thinks it's strange that James was injured?"

"Oh, he looked so painful at that time, and the team's injury report has come out, so he must not be faking it!"

"I feel like the Knicks are going strong this year, and the Heat are going to be a big hurdle in the first round..."

Miami fans are worried, but Cleveland fans are partying all night long!

They won!

Won the Washington Wizards!

Won a historical record that was impossible to break!
73 wins and 9 losses, less than 10 losses in the entire regular season!
Other teams will never understand the joy in this!

Especially the Heat!
However, at the press conference that night, Wu Di did not show much disturbance, but looked calm.

Faced with his reaction, the reporters gathered together asked in confusion:

"Mr. Emperor, aren't you happy about setting a record?"

Wu Di shrugged and asked:
"It's not about winning the championship, what's the point of being happy about?"

hiss!
The reporters on the scene gasped instantly!
Most of them are not local reporters in Ohio. Seeing Wu Di showing such a calm attitude, it is hard for them to pray for their home team...

The fear of being dominated by Wu Dee, the king of the playoffs, has completely occupied their brains!
"Wu Di, what do you think is the probability that you will win the MVP?"

Another reporter asked. He is a reporter from the New York Times, and his position is biased towards the Knicks or Nets. He wants to use this question to test whether Wu Di is pretending, or whether he really cares about the playoffs.

After all, Wu Di played full attendance this season and averaged 31.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. In addition to locking in the season scoring champion, the MVP is basically a certainty.

"I don't know, I just want to win the championship now!"

Wu Di took a sip of Gatorade, which he already endorsed, and replied, according to Pepsi's endorsement contract, if they can win consecutive championships this time, the endorsement fee will be doubled again to 2000 million US dollars a year!

The reporter who just asked the question silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

New York is quite impressive this season, with the Knicks second in the Eastern Conference and the Nets fourth in the Eastern Conference, but he had a very bad feeling...

"If we just go by rankings, the Cavaliers will play the Nets in the second round and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals... Fakmi!"
