NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 7: Tie the score and stop the game again (Please save and read)
Because of Wade's great deterrent power, the attention of several Thunder players in the interior was attracted by Wade, and Ibaka, who was supposed to defend Bosh, did not have time to go back to defend.

Bosh can shoot easily.

Just like every shooting practice before.

His whole body exerted force very naturally and his moves were as smooth as jelly.

It’s over.

This thought occurred to Harden and Ibaka at the same time, and both felt that it was because of them that Bosh got this simple open mid-range shot opportunity.

The Heat also wanted to score a goal and widen the score again.

But James shouted,

"careful!"

Before Bosh could react, the ball stopped in the air and its upward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Lin Chuan slapped the ball directly out with his big hand, and it fell into Harden's hands.

When the volleyball block happened, Harden was still a little dazed. He didn't realize that the ball was blocked by his teammates. It was not until the ball fell into his hands that he reacted and rushed to the front court.

James immediately rushed over, ready to defend against the fast break.

However, he still had some concerns in his heart and did not dare to act recklessly, sprinting at full speed and then jumping up to block the opponent's fast break layup as he did in the past.

After all, before the timeout, he was fooled by the Thunder's fast break, which led to him being dunked by the Chinese player, leaving him with a shameful scene.

In the moment when James hesitated, Harden had already reached the basket and made an easy layup.

The Thunder scored two more points, narrowing the score gap to the final three points.

"Wow, Lin Chuan's performance just now was simply exaggerated!"

Su Qun couldn't help but yelled,

"Just now, Lin Chuan let go of his defender Haslem. When Wade broke into the paint, he saw through his intention and ran towards Bosh!"

"That's right. Bosh thought no one was guarding him, so he didn't raise his shooting point. He was blocked by Lin Chuan who suddenly rushed out. The Thunder took advantage of the situation and easily scored two points with a fast break. They are about to catch up!"

Yu Jia suppressed his excitement and explained what had just happened to the audience together with Su Qun. If he had not been working and explaining it to everyone in the live broadcast room, he would have even wanted to jump up and wave his fists, and swear a few words in excitement.

Watching Harden make a layup, James stopped, spread his hands, turned around and was about to complain.

But it bumped into someone.

The other person's body is very hard, like steel.

It was a familiar feeling, as if I had experienced it not long ago.

"Not bad, you are indeed smart, LeBron. You are on guard against me and I dare not rush forward. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed again."

"Oh yeah, that black three minutes. I remember you guys were overturned in the finals that year."

Lin Chuan, who was hit, looked down at James, imitated the action he used to dunk over him in the last round and talked trash.

James said nothing, pushed Lin Chuan away and ran to the side.

But some of the complaints and dissatisfaction in his heart turned into gratitude.

I can only say that it was a good thing that I didn't rush forward just now, otherwise it would have been another ground pass and I would have been knocked out of bounds.

If he was knocked out by a dunk twice in a game, his name, James, would be engraved on the pillar of shame again.

As for last year's final that Lin Chuan mentioned, he didn't take it too seriously.

After being criticized for an offseason last year, he has become much immune to it.

In addition, after playing an excellent performance in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics, who were still at the tail end of their peak, James believed that he had overcome his inner demons.

Lin Chuan took small steps back to his own half and looked up at the score: 110:113.

Almost there, only three points left.

but. . .

Lin Chuan looked at the time on the side again. Since the Heat's attack just now almost used up all 24 seconds, and his own fast break took some time, there was only one and a half minutes left until the end of the game.

Next, we have to limit the Heat's scoring while scoring three-pointers, which is not easy...

While Lin Chuan was thinking about countermeasures, the Heat launched another attack.

James wasted no time and dribbled the ball across half court.

The Heat began to run the tactics quickly, Bosh went out to set a screen and took Ibaka out with him.

James pretended to pass the ball and passed it to Wade, who then passed it to Bosh who was standing in a high position.

After a series of tactical runs, the Thunder were confused again, the outside defense was torn apart, and suddenly a flaw was revealed.

Bosh quickly passed the ball to James who moved to the side again. After James attacked the inside again, he passed the ball to Battier in the other corner.

As for Westbrook, his help defense pulled him into the inside, leaving Battier in the corner with no one around him.

Battier exhaled lightly, smiled slightly at Durant who was two steps away from him and ready to pounce, then adjusted himself and prepared to shoot.

At this distance, even Durant would not be able to block him.

Just as Battier was thinking this, an accident happened.

"Try harder! Block him!"

Lin Chuan, who was also standing in the inside, reached out and pushed Durant hard, causing him to almost lose his balance as he was about to block the shot.

"Lin Chuan you bastard!"

Durant flew out yelling and cursing.

What is going on here!!?

Seeing the ferocious-looking Durant rushing towards him at an extraordinary speed, even a veteran like Battier who was used to big scenes couldn't help but feel panicked when faced with such an unexpected thing. He hurriedly threw the ball with shaking hands, and the ball brushed past Durant's fingertips.

Bang!

The hasty shot did not disappoint the Thunder, but it still missed.

The ball bounced up, but Lin Chuan couldn't jump up to grab the rebound.

Because he had just given Durant a help, he lost his excellent position under the basket and was stuck by Haslem behind him, making it difficult for him to even jump up.

Ibaka was tricked by the opponent's tactics and moved to the outside, so he definitely had no time to rush in and grab rebounds.

At this time, Bosh had no interference and it seemed that he could touch the basketball with just a light jump.

Bosh jumped up and prepared to put the ball in to make up for his mistake of being blocked just now.

"Don't even think about it!!!"

A figure jumped high and snatched the ball from Bosh's fingertips in an instant.

It's Westbrook!

He jumped up like a spring, snatched the ball from a group of inside players by himself, and then quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Harden had already settled in the bottom corner, received the pass from Westbrook, and made a three-pointer.

Swish!
113: 113!

With only one minute left, the Thunder launched a 23:0 super attack wave to tie the score!
