NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 215: I became the king of pass resistance, but was defeated by my opponent! 03 The best rookie is mine! You stole it!

After receiving the ball, Ray Allen himself was surprised.

There are only 5 seconds left in the shot clock. Why doesn't James, the leader of the team, finish the shot and throw the ball to me?!

But JR's defense caught up immediately, leaving him no time to think too much and he could only shoot immediately!

"Whoosh!"

Even though JR Smith's big hand was already covering his face, Ray Allen still shot the three-pointer with his extremely standard posture without changing his expression.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net, and the audience burst into applause.

"Fuck! Bro, you're so accurate!"

James immediately pointed at Ray Allen, who nodded.

"Look at what I'm saying!"

James ran to Ray Allen with a grin on his face, leaving him speechless.

How's the spread? It's a piece of shit!

Ray Allen was complaining in his heart, but he still forced a smile on his face.

"The pass was very accurate. I didn't expect you could pass it at that moment."

"It is, after all, me!"

James didn't hear the sarcasm in Ray Allen's words and patted his chest proudly, which earned him a sneer from Ray Allen.

Then, he immediately pushed James and shouted before the man got angry,

"They didn't call a timeout! Anthony is ready to shoot!"

James was startled and rushed forward without caring about the fact that he was about to lose balance.

But I thought it was too late.

When Anthony saw James passing the buck and Ray Allen being complacent after scoring, without any vigilance at all, he stopped the coach from calling a timeout and immediately asked his teammates to rush to the frontcourt.

He also took advantage of the time when James had not yet reacted and had already positioned himself, without any interference, and shot directly into the goal.

It only took four seconds to tie the score again.

"Fuck! What the hell are you doing on the field!!!"

Spoelstra couldn't help but stand up and scold James, and then immediately called a timeout to the technical table.

He stared at James with anger on his face, causing this man who thought he was the best in the league and looked down on him to lower his head and remain silent.

Although he cares about himself very much and has great self-esteem.

But the mistake he made just now, which was comparable to that of kindergarten basketball, still made him unable to raise his head amid the scolding from this rookie coach.

Even Wade, who was the best at Tai Chi before, had nothing to say and just stood aside sighing.

It was because of his low-level mistake that the team fell behind again in the last two and a half minutes, and fell behind by three points.

After a long time, when Spoelstra had vented his emotions, the timeout ended.

During this long period of time, James said nothing and listened silently to the other party's attacks on him.

Back on the court, he was still very quiet.

But the mouth seemed to be moving.

Only Wade, who was closest to him, could hear his faint mumbling.

"Fuck, what are you scolding me for, you rookie coach who doesn't know how to play basketball? I just made a mistake, but you're scolding me like you found some big problem, you damn bastard! If it weren't for Riley protecting you, he would have kicked you out long ago! And Wade, he didn't speak for me, he just watched me get scolded, damn it, didn't I just steal his position as the boss, you're really not a brother!"

After saying that, James also saw Wade not far away from him, and immediately put on a serious face.
"Dwayne, this is a crucial moment. We need to step up our efforts."

Wade nodded and said nothing.

But his heart sank.

Even though he had a good chance of winning the championship in the past two years but failed, he has never been disappointed with this brother of many years.

After all, it's normal to play poorly on the court.

Moreover, the intensity of a stage like the finals is extremely high, so he didn't find it strange that his performance was not as good as usual.

But he never thought that his good brother actually thought of himself and Spoelstra in this way.

He actually thought that he didn't speak to him because his position as the boss was taken away?
Wade just felt more and more disgusted the more he looked at James in front of him.

James patted Wade on the shoulder.

"Here we go, bro."

Wade, who was touched by James, immediately took a step back as if he had been electrocuted, leaving the range of James' arm, and then nodded expressionlessly.
"It's up to you, boss."

James nodded, then immediately took the ball and jogged towards the frontcourt.

When he came to the front court, he immediately made a gesture.
"Let's play tactics! Number five! Number five!"

Tactic No. 5. The moment Wade heard it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This tactic was passed on several times before reaching his own hands on the wing, where he would complete the move.

This guy, how come he is still like this at this time?

He wants to be the boss but doesn't want to take on the boss's responsibilities. Instead, he lets the former boss take on the responsibility.

Wade suddenly felt very tired.

But because of his affection for the Heat, a team he had stayed in for many years, Wade felt a surge of power that made him start running according to the established tactics.

Although James was reluctant to shoot at critical moments, his passing ability is still nothing to say.

As Wade ran to the position, the ball was in his hands.

And Wade suddenly had a comeback at this moment. He dragged his injured knees, changed direction and came to the basket. He jumped high, twisted his body in the air and made a layup. At the same time, he caused Tyson Chandler to commit a foul.

2+1!

After landing, Wade felt a vibration in his knees, and the severe pain made him frown.

Chandler beside him could see all of this.

Although his knees were in terrible pain, Wade pretended to be fine, high-fived the excited James to celebrate, then walked to the free throw line and made the free throw, helping the team tie the game again.

Spoelstra on the sidelines didn't notice what was happening, nor did he notice anything unusual about Wade.

But from this round on, he couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he still forced himself and made a chuckle.

It wasn't until he saw James pass the ball to Wade and Wade scored that he couldn't help but laugh.

Spoelstra's performance also prompted the assistant coach who had been looking at him sideways to ask,

"Coach, I don't understand why you are laughing. Are you happy because the goal was tied?"

Sibo shook his head and said with a smile,

"Look at the tactics they used just now, didn't you see it?"

"Fighting tactics?"

The teaching assistant thought for a moment, and then it dawned on him.

Yes, that number five tactic, isn’t that the tactic that Spoelstra drew before?

James then disobeyed instructions and played his own ball, causing Spoelstra to almost call a timeout and scold him again in the next round.

If you didn't fight then, you'd fight now, it's really...

"This guy……"

Previously, he also thought that James was doing it to save Wade's face, pretending to be listening carefully to the tactics, but in fact his mind had already flown away.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually remembered it, but he didn't play according to the tactics before because he thought he was awesome.

When it came to the critical moment, he didn't play his own basketball or attack on his own, but instead began to follow the tactics of the rookie coach whom he despised the most.

Thinking of this, even the teaching assistant was speechless.

Looking at James who was still forcing Wade to celebrate on the court, my opinion of him also dropped by three points.

Two players from the Heat responded to the Knicks, forcing them to call a timeout.

Anthony sat down on the chair and took a few deep breaths before he recovered. "Damn it, why do people on the other side always stand up? Are they all so brave?!"

"Haha, those two guys aren't always like this."

Chandler sat next to him, wiped his sweat, and continued,

"It's James who's playing against you who's been passing the ball the whole time this quarter."

"Ah!"

Anthony wanted to laugh when he said this.
"This guy has always been like this! He claims that his play is reasonable, but in fact he just doesn't dare to play the key ball! It's just that the media has created a good image of him, making everyone think he is very good."

Then, Anthony stood up and said to everyone seriously,
"At this critical moment, I must take the lead!"

"Coach, let me execute the key attack!"

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Heat began to press the entire court.

As soon as Anthony received the ball, he encountered defense from James.

But he was not panicked at all, instead he forced his way to the front court against the opponent.

Although the action was a bit exaggerated, at this moment, even the most biased referee would hardly call a foul.

"Here, I will tie the score again from this position."

Anthony pointed to his feet, and then without waiting for James to answer, he chose to pull up directly.

That’s right, what he and the coach said was to play singles directly.

The extraordinary decisiveness made James stunned for a moment.

But he still reacted and flew over to cover it.

This time, it interfered but did not hinder the attack.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and went into the net.

The score is tied again!

"One more goal! Take them down!"

The fans on the sidelines also became agitated.

In front of him, Anthony looked at him provocatively and poked his head.

"Do you dare? Satisfy the fans' expectations and attack on your own to help the team take the lead and win?"

James felt his hands sweating and a surge of anger rose up in him.

Damn it, why not!
He is LeBron James!
"Give me the ball!"

The decisive statement surprised Spoelstra, who didn't expect James to suddenly become so responsible.

But after looking at the scoreboard, he realized what was happening.

We are not behind in the score yet! Why should we be afraid of a tie?

James pushed forward to the frontcourt according to the time and observed the movements of his opponent.

Then he made a gesture to pull away.

This is a 1v1 with Anthony!
"Let me see your strength! Number one!"

Anthony was nervous, he wanted to defend James so much to prove himself!
And James also became nervous.

If we lose again, we will have to go into a tiebreak.

He doesn't have much chance of winning a life-and-death battle in Madison Square Garden!
To win this game!

James suddenly broke through, squeezed into the inside, raised his elbow to press against Anthony's body, and rolled into the basket.

Then go straight to the layup!

The basketball was shot, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.

Everyone was following the ball's movement.

The ball hit the rim and then slid down!

"it is good!"

Anthony jumped a second time to grab the rebound, quickly protected it, and then passed it to JR who came forward to receive it.

Last minute, can win!
Anthony looked at the time and thought to himself.

The Knicks advanced quickly and then the ball was passed to Anthony.

He made a triple threat again.

The three threats at this time are all fatal.

James didn't dare to miss any moment, not even blinking.

The next moment, Anthony moved forward, and the ball landed at the same time.

James immediately took a step back to prevent Anthony from breaking through.

But at this moment, Anthony suddenly pulled back and took a three-pointer!

In the final moments, when the score was tied, Anthony chose a three-pointer with a low success rate.

And God also favored him at this moment.

Swish!
The ball goes in and we take the lead!

At the last moment, Anthony was extremely tough and made consecutive three-pointers to beat the Heat by six points!

At this time, the Heat did not have a timeout and could only pass the ball to James again.

But he acted as if the basketball in his hand was a hot potato, and passed it directly after crossing half court.

Wade passed the ball back after being blocked in his attempt to break through.

At the same time, I pray that James can take some responsibility and complete the task of chasing points on his own.

Seeing that the basketball was back, James felt a little disappointed, but he still pretended to be calm, ignored Anthony's trash talk, and drove straight into the inside.

Chandler stepped forward to assist in defense, and facing two people who almost surrounded him, James passed the ball to Chalmers in the corner at the last moment.

Chalmers cursed, but threw the ball without hesitation.

Swish!
Come in too!

No one expected that at the last moment, it was him, the most inconspicuous point guard, who saved the team that was on the edge of the cliff!
James swallowed.

This time, I really escaped death.

The Knicks also had no timeouts.

Seeing that James succeeded in passing the blame again, Anthony was unhappy, but he did not hesitate to take the basketball. He then broke through the rhythm several times and reached the frontcourt position.

Time passes by second by second.

In the blink of an eye, only the last 10 seconds are left.

Anthony passed the ball to his teammate and then asked for it back, resetting his steps.

Then he stared at James and said coldly,
"I was right about you. A guy like you who can only pass the buck is not qualified to be the boss and does not deserve to win the championship!"

"Look how I take responsibility, LeBron James."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anthony once again used the same triple threat as in the previous round.

It made James miserable.

Is it a breakthrough or a shot?
Suddenly, Anthony took a step forward. James was about to move his feet subconsciously, but he remembered what happened in the last round.

He learned his lesson and stopped abruptly, but Anthony did not fake this time. As he took a step forward, the ball fell down and he rushed into the penalty area in an instant.

James used his explosive power to come from behind and try to stop Anthony from making a layup.

But the opponent's sudden stop shook him completely away.

"See you on my home turf, man."

Anthony stood at the free throw line and jumped high to shoot.
