Chapter 8: Horseback Archery, This is My Horse! (Please save and read)
"pause!!!"

After the Thunder tied the score again, Spoelstra couldn't help but call a timeout again.

All the members of the Heat team formed a circle. Spoelstra looked at everyone. Compared to the relaxed and happy faces of everyone three or four minutes ago, the atmosphere now was obviously a lot more depressing.

He coughed twice, motioning everyone to look over, then picked up the tactical board.

"Next, it was LeBron holding the ball and initiating the offense. Everyone ran tactics. Now their new inside player is different from Perkins and is more flexible. They can't continue to play small inside and big outside. They have to find a way to pass the ball to the outside and shoot three-pointers to end the game. In the last minute, we can control the time. Time is running out. We can win by playing steadily, just like the previous games."

"When we're defending...we should..."

As Siba spoke, he actually began to stutter.

Lin Chuan's series of performances just now made him feel at a loss as to how to deal with it for a while.

The other side now has five people on the court. In addition to Lin Chuan who just led the team to equalize the score difference, there is also a three-time consecutive scoring champion, an all-around All-Star point guard, a super sixth man, and the only power forward without scoring means is also the agile blocking champion who has won two consecutive titles.

This made him at a loss as to how to arrange tactics for a moment.

It was obvious that in the first four games, they could defeat this group of new recruits simply through smooth running tactics and targeted double-teaming.

However, now that even the center has the offensive means and passing control to cover the entire area within the three-point line, the previous defensive strategies have become ineffective.

What should I do!
Damn! Why didn't I notice this guy in the Thunder when I watched the video before? Is he their secret weapon?

"Coach, stop talking and let me do it."

Before Spoelstra could finish his words, James took over the conversation. He took the tactical board from Spoelstra, completely ignoring Spoelstra's already stiff expression.

"Ah, well, you say it, LeBron."

Sibo opened his mouth and put his hands down dejectedly.

"We'll follow this tactic later. Their perimeter defense is average. Wade and I will tear down the defense..."

Everyone on the Heat listened very carefully, while Spoelstra stood aside like an outsider, somewhat at a loss, as if no one on the Heat players cared what he thought.

"The Heat were stunned!"

"Two timeouts were called in just one minute. The Thunder's offensive was like a tide and the Heat couldn't stop it at all."

Looking at the sudden change in the situation on the field, Su Qun couldn't help but express his admiration.

"Regardless of whether the Thunder can win this game or not, or what the outcome of this finals is, this group of young people has shown us the true storm of youth."

The timeout is over, last minute.

The Heat served the ball and chose to throw it on the ground, letting the basketball roll on the floor. James walked slowly behind the ball and didn't pick it up until he was almost at midfield.

"Move, move!"

James dribbled the ball, yelled at several other teammates, and gestured tactics with his hands.

As a team composed of veterans, the Heat's execution has always been strong. With just a gesture from James, all the Heat players started running quickly.

How are you going to attack this time?

Lin Chuan followed his teammates in changing defensive formations, keeping his eyes fixed on the opponent's running positions.

Mike Miller went around the corner. Does the Heat want to choose a three-pointer?
Or create space and let James rush into the restricted area for a layup?

After several runs and passes, Bosh went forward for a high pick-and-roll, and James pretended to break through and passed the ball to Sean Battier in the corner.

Seeing an open space in the bottom corner, Westbrook rushed forward to defend, and the moment the ball arrived, he quickly got into position.

Battier stood up and prepared to shoot a three-pointer, but Westbrook quickly jumped up to block the shot.

But Battier pretended to shoot, then broke through from the corner after quickly leaning forward and breaking through the defense.

Lin Chuan took two steps forward to block Battier's breakthrough route, and then he decisively passed the ball back to Dwyane Wade who was waiting for an opportunity outside the three-point line at a forty-five degree angle.

The moment Wade received the ball, his center of gravity moved upward and he was about to shoot with his hands above his head.

But the fake shot didn't fool Harden this time.

He was just fooled by the Buddha less than a minute ago, and he won't be fooled again this time.

Just as Harden was thinking this, Wade suddenly started dribbling the ball and took two steps back to create space, giving up the three-threat.

Harden stared at Wade, vowing to defend him.

Looking at the serious look of the bearded man, Wade sneered. To him, James Harden in front of him was nothing. A rookie shouldn't even think about defending him.

As long as he wanted, he could speed up and get rid of the position in an instant, and then the second step would completely leave it behind.

But the focus is on Lin Chuan in the interior.

This Chinese kid has a very high basketball IQ. He is also a rookie, and no one else saw his intention just now, but Lin Chuan still accurately judged that he was going to pass the ball to Bosh, causing Bosh's close-range shot to be blocked.

We have to think about how to open up the situation.

Time passed by second by second. After completing the tactics, there were only 24 seconds left in the 8-second offensive round.

Let's use this trick.

Wade thought of a solution and waved to Bosh to come up for a pick-and-roll.

Bosh walked forward to the 45-degree three-point line. Lin Chuan, who had just switched to defend against Bosh, was forced to follow him and was moved out of the restricted area.

Bosh's long-range shot is also threatening, and Lin Chuan cannot leave him open.

Wade took a step to his dominant right hand, and Harden immediately moved sideways to the left to defend.

But Harden suddenly felt a strong obstruction behind him on the left.

There is a pick and roll!
Harden was stunned, and his body's muscle memory had begun to make movements to bypass the pick-and-roll.

But after taking a step to the right, Wade did not break through with a pick-and-roll. Instead, he dribbled the ball in front of his body and suddenly changed direction to the left. While dribbling the ball back to his right hand, his entire body was almost parallel to the ground.

The left hand has to support the ground to maintain the center of gravity.

In an instant, Wade's huge change of direction allowed him to completely tear open the defense that the Thunder had managed to maintain with great difficulty.

After this amazing breakthrough, a huge gap appeared in front of Wade.

At this moment, the Thunder's restricted area was still empty.

Wade stepped on the accelerator and rushed in as if he was in an empty space.

At this moment, he also saw Lin Chuan retreating from the other side out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know when.

This kid really went back to the inside to wait for me.

After seeing Harden being deceived by the pick-and-roll, he immediately retreated back and returned to the penalty area from the side to defend him.

After dribbling the ball for two steps, Wade either shot or passed the ball again.

However, since there is little time left, if the ball is passed again there won't even be time for the shot to be fired, which would be a violation.

Lin Chuan stood where Wade was about to break through and waited for him, ready to block Wade's shot.

He blocked James, then blocked Wade, and then led the team to a comeback. He was really awesome in this game.

Lin Chuan had everything planned out in his mind, just waiting for Wade to come to him.

But everything is not that simple.

Wade gave a mocking smile, and his cheeks looked even bigger.

In the last step, Wade did not rush to the basket and choose to confront Lin Chuan head-on, but used his strong core to force a layup.

In the last step, Wade raised his left leg in advance, drifted forward and made shooting gestures with both hands.

Oops! !
Lin Chuan realized that something was wrong. Wade chose to ride a horse and shoot arrows this time!

With his superb acting skills, he disguised the horseback archery as a breakthrough layup!
Damn!

Lin Chuan retreated a little too deep, so he had to rush forward hastily to interfere with Wade's shot.

But Wade was still experienced and let Lin Chuan hit him after he made the shot.

Wade fell to the ground.

Beep! The 24 seconds are up and the clock makes a sharp sound.

at the same time.

The ball goes in and the whistle blows.

"MVP! MVP!"

The cheers from the Heat fans in the stadium were deafening.

Calling for their king.

flash!
"Fake!!!"

Wade, who was sitting on the ground, pointed at the floor and roared,

“This is my house!!!”
