king of defenders

Chapter 1300 Consecutive Eastern Championship
Durant walked to the free-throw line, adjusted a little, took a deep breath, flicked his wrist, and threw the ball.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

Then the second free throw was also hit, Durant made two free throws, the score became 113:111, and the Celtics led by 2 points.

Durant breathed a sigh of relief, and the Celtics fans in the auditorium also breathed a sigh of relief. Now there is less than 1 minute left in the game. Any point is very important. Whoever leads will have an advantage.

Heat attack.

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, and the defender rushed forward. Meng Yun gestured to his teammates to pull the man away, then played singles, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and then suddenly started, breaking through from the right, Tatum He hurriedly retreated, but Meng Yun suddenly stopped and his center of gravity rose.

"Not good." Tatum twitched in his heart, thinking that Meng Yun was going to take a step back and jump shot, so he jumped up subconsciously.

"Opportunity." Meng Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

In fact, Meng Yun did not expect Tatum to jump up. It was just a "worshiping Buddha" action, intending to break through. Now seeing Tatum jumping up, Meng Yun immediately changed his attention, quickly grabbed the ball and jumped up, Hit Tatum and throw the ball at the same time.

beep!
Whistle!

Swish!
The ball goes in.

The goal was scored, and it also caused Tatum's foul.

"Damn."

"My God, why did Tatum jump and let Meng Yun score the ball. There is less than half a minute left in the game. Isn't the foul at this time his own death?"

Celtics fans are going crazy.

Originally leading by 2 points, even if Meng Yun scored one, as long as it wasn't a three-pointer, it was just tying the score. In terms of time, the Celtics still had an offensive opportunity, and it was entirely possible to kill.

However, Tatum allowed Meng Yun to score 2+1. The score was overtaken, and Meng Yun had to go to the free throw line. .

Tatum was also very regretful, but he was too nervous at the time. After all, it was such a critical moment, and he was facing Meng Yun again, so he jumped subconsciously.

"It's okay." Horford came, patted Tatum, and comforted: "Meng Yun may not be able to make a penalty."

Tatum nodded reluctantly. This consolation really didn't help much. Meng Yun's free throw percentage was over 90.00%, and he rarely missed free throws.

Sure enough, Meng Yun steadily made the extra penalty, and the score became 114:113. The Heat led by one point. The Celtics called a timeout, leaving them with only 20 seconds left.

"There are 20 seconds left, give the ball to Kevin." The Celtics coach didn't talk nonsense, and didn't make any complicated tactical arrangements. Just one sentence, give the ball to Durant.

Others have no objection. It is indeed the most secure to let Durant play at this time.

Heat here.

Coach Spoelstra didn't give too many instructions, because there was no need for it. The only thing they wanted was to defend the ball.

"beep"

Pause ends.

The two sides came back, the Celtics attacked, and the ball was given to Durant. Although there were 20 seconds, Durant did not intend to consume it because it had to be just in case.

Durant acted, he chose to break through, the intention was very clear, and he scored as much as possible. Anyway, the point difference is only 1 point, so it doesn't matter whether it is two points or three points.

However, the Heat had been prepared for a long time. As soon as they saw that Durant was about to break through, they immediately shrunk their defensive line and retracted to the inside to compress Durant's breakthrough space. Tom's lessons are still there.

Fouling at this time is death.

"Not good, there are too many insiders." Durant felt bad when he broke through. There were a lot of insiders, and the Heat shrunk their defense, so his shot space was limited.

But at this time, it's no longer possible to pass the ball, and his teammates must not be ready, so Durant can only grit his teeth and force a shot.

boom!
No fouls were made and the basketball bounced off the rim.

"Rebound," Durant yelled.

Before he could remind, the inside lanes were already in chaos, and the players jumped up one after another, trying to catch the basketball. There were still a few seconds left in the game, and if the Celtics grabbed the rebound, they still had a chance.

It's just that the Celtics have no advantage in the inside line. In addition, in order to prevent Durant from breaking through the Heat and shrinking the defense in advance, the Heat are all under the basket. Whiteside clicked the ball, and Xiang Long took the ball Grab it, and pass it to Meng Yun immediately.

beep!
Foul by the Celtics.

As soon as the Celtics players saw that they didn't get a rebound, they knew they could only foul and use foul tactics, but the foul was on Meng Yun's body, which might be dangerous.

Sure enough, Meng Yun walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.

The point difference became 3 points, and there was only 1 second left in the game. The Celtics called a timeout and made a final effort. However, the time was too tight, and they thought that the point difference was 3 points, and they had to score a three-pointer. In order to drag the game into overtime, there is not even a choice.

In the end, the Celtics failed.

At the end of the game, the score was 116:113, and the Heat won.

The Eastern Conference finals also came to an end, with a big score of 4:3, and the Heat advanced.

"I lost." Irving was dejected and lost his mind. He thought that Durant would join him this season and he would have a good chance of winning the championship, but in the end he fell in the Eastern Conference Finals.

What's the point of being No. [-] in the East in the regular season?
Tatum covered his face with tears streaming down his face. He blamed himself immensely. If it wasn't for his own foul that made Meng Yun score 2+1, he might not have lost this game.

Looking at the teammates around him, and then at the Heat players who were celebrating in a group not far away, Durant sighed and turned silently to the player tunnel.

ended.

A season of hard work, a new team, and a new journey finally came to an end.

Los Angeles, James' home.

The crowd was silent.

It took a while for George to speak: "I didn't expect it to really make the Heat come back."

"I didn't expect that either." Rondo smiled wryly, and said, "Under such circumstances, you can still turn things around. That guy Meng Yun really is." He doesn't even know what to say, is Meng Yunqiang?It's not just strong, it's simply too strong, and it's unbelievable that it can be turned around under such circumstances.

Everyone else has mixed feelings. Their opponents in the finals have already come out, but they find that they would rather meet the Celtics in the finals than the Heat.

Not only did they have such thoughts, even James had such thoughts, because Meng Yun's performance in the last few minutes made him unable to see through.

No one wants to face an opponent they can't see through.
