Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

In the following time, the two sides reached a deadlock again.

The two teams went back and forth, but the point difference remained within one round.

As time goes by.

The Nets have made several substitutions, while the Heat have been using their main force.

Soon, the game entered the final decisive stage.

At this time, the score was 118:120, and the Heat led by two points.

During a defensive play, Leonard sprained his ankle due to calf cramps and became the first man to go down.

Heat coach Spoelstra had no choice but to replace him with Haslem.

At the same time, Butler and others' physical condition has reached its limit, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

At this stage of the competition, all you have to fight for is your willpower.

Nets offense.

Cousins ​​received the pass from his teammate and stood under the basket, ready to show off his scoring ability.

He has excellent skills and strength under the basket, and can step forward at critical moments and contribute points to the team. At this moment, he is facing the Heat's Adebayor, an equally excellent defensive player.

Cousins ​​received the ball and immediately felt strong pressure from Adebayor.

Adebayor defended closely and tried to take the ball away from Cousins.

But Cousins ​​​​was not afraid. He pushed Adebayor hard and protected the ball.

Cousins ​​began to use his back play, passed Adebayor with a beautiful turning movement, and then quickly took off, preparing to dunk.

But Adebayor did not give up and immediately jumped up to try to block Cousins' dunk.

However, Cousins ​​​​is more powerful after all. He used his strong body to compete one-on-one with Adebayor in the air.

He pushed Adebayo away with all his strength, then dunked the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the entire stadium seemed to be shaken.

120:120, the two teams tied!
The fans instantly became excited, cheering and shouting one after another.

The Nets players also gathered around excitedly, celebrating this wonderful dunk.

Cousins ​​stood proudly under the basket, with a confident and proud smile on his face. He glanced down at Adebayor, as if to say: "See? This is my strength!"

Adebayor shook his head helplessly. He was on the verge of overdraft and couldn't stop Cousins ​​from playing in the back. His physical fitness was too poor.

The game continues, but the highlight of this dunk will definitely be included in the top five goals.

Fans will remember this score, Cousins' strong figure and confident smile.

The Heat attacked and a tense atmosphere filled the court.

Heat star Butler grabbed the ball in his hands and prepared to break the deadlock with a sharp breakthrough.

Butler, this tough guy player, is known for his strong breakthrough ability and unyielding fighting spirit.

His eyes were firm and his muscles were tense, like a leopard preparing to hunt.

Facing Mitchell, Butler made a feint and quickly started the breakthrough.

The pace was flexible and powerful, passing by Mitchell like a gust of wind.

Although Mitchell tried his best to keep up with Butler's rhythm, Butler's explosive power was too strong, and he could only watch Butler pass by him.

Breaking through Mitchell's defense, Butler went straight to the basket. The desire to score flashed in his eyes, as if he had already seen the moment he put the ball into the basket.

However, at this moment, a tall figure came over from the weak side to help defend - Porzingis!

Porzingis, a tall and long-armed interior defender, is famous in the league for his excellent shot-blocking ability. He spotted Butler's layup route, jumped up, and straightened his hands, blocking Butler like a barrier.

Butler felt the threat from above and tried his best to adjust the angle of his layup in an attempt to avoid Porzingis' block.

But Porzingis is tall and has long arms after all, and his shot-blocking range covers almost the entire basket.

In the end, amid the exclamations of the crowd, Porzingis successfully blocked Butler's layup!

"boom!"

The basketball hit the floor hard and was caught by Bo Shen.

After Butler landed, he gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Although this breakthrough was beautiful, it ultimately failed to escape Porzingis' defense.

Porzingis quickly passed the ball to Adu, clenching his hands into fists and shouting excitedly.

He successfully defended a key defense for the team.

Adu received the pass and instantly started the fast break mode, passing through the half court like a bolt of lightning.

Crowder realized the crisis was coming and tried his best to catch up with Durant, but Durant's speed was too fast. He could only watch Durant rush to the basket.

Durant got to the basket, preparing to end the fast break with a layup.

However, Crowder did not give up the pursuit and jumped up behind him in an attempt to block Durant's layup.

As a result, Durant was experienced in many battles and cleverly used physical confrontation to knock Crowder some distance away and then layup.

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

Crowder committed a foul while defending!

Although Durant's layup missed, the Nets got two free throw opportunities.

This was undoubtedly an important turning point for the game.

Durant stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and prepared to contribute key points to the team.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the home fans was completely ignited, and they began to shout "MVP! MVP!" loudly.

These shouts seemed to inject infinite power into Durant, making him more determined to face this free throw.

Adu adjusted his breathing and posture, and then threw the ball steadily.

The first free throw hit!
The fans cheered louder.

They know that Durant is the team's most reliable scoring point, and at this critical moment, he will never let the fans down.

The second free throw was also a solid hit!

122: 120.

Durant helped the team take the lead by two points!

At this moment, the entire stadium was boiling.

In the transition between offense and defense, the Heat's star Butler broke through with the ball and became the focus of the game.

Butler dribbled the ball all the way through, his eyes firm and resolute, as if he wanted to completely tear apart the opponent's defense.

However, at this moment, he felt tired.

With so much playing time, his feet seemed as heavy as lead. But this was a crucial moment in the game and he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

At the same time, Mitchell also noticed Butler's fatigue and stuck close to Butler's side, staring at the basketball in the opponent's hand.

Although he failed to intercept the ball immediately, the constant defensive confrontation still put enough pressure on Butler, making it extremely difficult.

Butler tried to adjust his breathing and tried to get rid of Mitchell's entanglement. Changing the rhythm and direction, trying to find a gap for breakthrough.

However, Mitchell's defense was as impenetrable as an iron wall, preventing him from getting out of trouble.

At this moment, Butler stumbled suddenly and almost lost his balance.

His feet were so tired that they were weak and could not support him to continue running at high speed.

This tiny flaw was keenly caught by Mitchell. He immediately reached for the ball and destroyed it out of bounds.

Although Mitchell was knocked out of bounds this time, the near miss still scared Heat coach Spoelstra to immediately request a timeout.

He knew that Butler's physical strength was close to the limit and he must rest as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

During the timeout, Spoelstra was arranging tactics while Butler sat on the sidelines panting. The mistake just now almost put the team into despair. Butler knew that he must regain his strength as soon as possible and get back into the game.

The next moment, Spoelstra walked quickly to Butler and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Jimmy, can you still hold on?"

Butler took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound firm and strong: "Coach, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I can still play."

Spoelstra nodded. He knew Butler's temper and toughness, but at this time he also saw the fatigue of other players on the team.

There was an indescribable heaviness in their eyes, as if all the strength in their bodies had been drained away.

The jersey was soaked with sweat and clung to the skin, as if it had become a second skin. Their breathing also became rapid and heavy, and every breath required all their strength.

Spoelstra knows this is a tough battle and everyone has given their all.

But now is not the time to give up, he must inspire the team's last vestige of fighting power.

Turning to look at the other players, Spoelstra said in a firm tone: "Don't be discouraged, everyone! We have fought until the last moment and can't just give up. We must work together to win this game!"

Hearing the encouragement from the head coach, the players seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and their tired faces regained their fighting spirit.

Everyone in the Heat encourages and cheers each other up, hoping to create a miracle at the last moment.

But Butler gritted his teeth and tried to use willpower to overcome physical fatigue.

As the leader and core of the team, he must stand tall and lead the team out of trouble.

Butler took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and prepared to face the next challenge.

After the timeout, the Nets made substitution adjustments.

Mitchell Robinson replaces Cousins.

Lu Yong's substitution intention is very clear, which is to strengthen defense and maintain the victory.

Hiro serves.

Nunn used the screen to make a pass.

Eager to score, he made a sudden stop and shot a jumper.

Even if his physical fitness reaches the limit, Nunn's jumping height is still considerable.

Brunson jumped up hard and failed to block the shot.

But it interfered with Nunn's line of sight, and the latter's shot missed.

At the critical moment, Adebayor stepped forward.

Surrounded by Porzingis and Mitchell Robinson, he picked up the rebound and passed it to Hiero on the outside.

Hiro did not hesitate and decisively shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The basketball hits the net!

122: 123!

The Heat overtook the score again.

Now the pressure is on the Nets.

Last 47 seconds.

Lu Yong did not call a timeout, but let the players solve the problem themselves.

Brunson was very sensible and knew that this moment belonged to Durant, so he handed the ball to Durant after halftime.

The Heat handed over the burden of defending Durant to Herro.

Because he is the Heat's most physically fit player at this time. Crowder has long been exhausted and weak, and only the young Hiero can barely keep up.

When the Heat played the Celtics in the first round, head coach Spoelstra asked Herro to defend Tatum at critical moments.

Hiro's physical fitness is not very good, but because his playing time is strictly controlled, although at critical moments in the final quarter, he is often the most physically fit among the main players.

Hiro lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and stared at Durant.

Durant dribbles the ball while adjusting his position. Every time he dribbles, his shoulders shake.

Moreover, Durant dribbles very low, and the basketball bounces below the knee.

Hiero was not sure about taking the ball, and he was afraid of Adu's super-fast first step, so he could only be forced to retreat continuously.

In this way, Durant approached the inside step by step.

The next second, he suddenly broke out and accelerated directly past Hero!

In the Heat penalty area, Adebayor reacted quickly and moved in front of Durant.

But Durant's charge was unstoppable.

He jumped up high and made a tomahawk chop!
Adebayor jumped up hard, trying to compete with Adu.

It has to be said that Adebayor is very courageous, but Adu retained more physical strength to take advantage.

In mid-air, he relied on his long wingspan to forcefully avoid the block, and used his left hand to pull the stick for a reverse layup.

Adebayor's eyes widened, he fell to the ground first, and watched helplessly as the ball fell into the net bag.

"Shh!"

124: 123.

The Nets overtook again.

The entire Brooklyn Arena was in an uproar.

Nets fans stood up and cheered, turning the entire stadium into a sea of ​​black and blue.

At this time, there are still 35 seconds before the end of the game.

Both the Heat and Nets have one timeout left.

Nunn looked at the head coach standing on the sidelines.

Spoelstra waved slightly, signaling the players to attack on their own.

He wanted to save the last timeout for emergencies.

Nunn carried the ball through half court and then handed the ball to Butler.

Mitchell stepped forward and looked directly at the basketball in Butler's hand.

"Defense!"

"Defense!!"

"Defense!!!"

The fans at the scene shouted for defense in unison, and the atmosphere was completely pushed to the climax!

Even Lu Yong on the coaching bench looked a little nervous.

Soon, Butler moved.

Use the pick-and-roll to break through from the left and drive straight to the basket.

However, before Butler could sprint, Mitchell stepped forward and used physical contact to confront Butler.

Referees usually let the players decide on such critical balls and rarely blow whistles.

Mitchell's actions were not excessive, and the referee naturally did not call it a normal physical confrontation.

Butler was hit twice and quickly turned sideways, trying to push Mitchell away with his body.

However, Mitchell had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he caught Butler at the moment when he was ready to make a sudden move.

"Snapped!"

He started everything and cut the ball directly.

"Oh!!"

The fans in the stands immediately shouted excitedly. (End of chapter)
