The Godfather of Basketball

James made one of two free throws, and the Heat continued to maintain a 10-point lead.

"OKC! OKC!"

Miller in the commentary booth knew that the Thunder had reached the most difficult moment, and the fans naturally knew that they were shouting and cheering for the home team.

Durant received a pass from Livingston and flew Haslem's breakthrough layup, but was chased and blocked by James when he made the shot.

James basically didn't rest for the whole game, but he can still chase and block shots at this moment, which is really a physical monster.

Bosh received the defensive rebound, the Heat attacked the frontcourt, James misplaced the ball and hit Maggette, and with an acceleration, he went past the basket and scored a dunk.

There are many similarities between Maggette and Harden after he was formed in his previous life. His whole body is very muscular, which shows that his low-post defense is the top among guards, but the corresponding lateral movement speed is very slow, and he is easy to be passed by one step.

"Prevent his breakthrough." Tang Tian shouted to the team members at this time, not just Maggette.

Livingston dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Durant was heavily defended. He was the only stable scoring point for the Thunder at this time, and the Heat's defensive focus was a bit too much.

Livingston himself dribbled the ball to the low post and Chalmers countered with his feet, and his fallback after turning was still picturesque.

But at this moment, James came to assist in the defense. Although the flying block was not blocked, it gave enough interference.

"boom!"

Livingston's shot also struck iron.

Westbrook's end put the Thunder's offense in big trouble.

But at the critical moment, Brown caught Bosh and grabbed the offensive rebound, and threw it to Maggette on the outside.

Maggette took the ball and rushed to the basket without saying a word, and Cole threw it out to make up the defense.

"boom!"

Cole didn't know Maggette, and basically had never played against him. He was not prepared for this confrontation and was directly knocked away.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Maggette jumped up without changing his center of gravity after knocking away, and then he dunked directly!

The shouts at the scene paused, followed by an explosion.

Maggette can still buckle!

Maggette slammed his hand after the dunk, and the dunk almost hurt him just now.

But that's the way he plays, never shoot if he can layup, never layup if he can dunk.

After slowly fading out of the league, it's impossible for a rookie like Kerr to know.

This dunk boosted the morale of the Thunder.

When James misplaced Maggette again, the Thunder took a step back and didn't give a chance. James' three-pointer was too heavy and missed.

Brown received the defensive rebound, and the Thunder advanced to the frontcourt for the final attack. Durant shook the ball from the outside and pulled one out.

"Shua!"

Durant made a three-pointer almost at the buzzer.

James missed the last ultra-long three-pointer.

After three quarters, the score on the court was 90 to 81, no more, no less, and the Thunder just caught up to 9 points.

"Nice job!"

During the festival, Tang Tian gave his team members the greatest encouragement.

"Now we have one last goal left, to smooth this last point difference and win the game, no matter how difficult it is, believe in yourself, we will be able to complete it, the Thunder."

"come on!"

A very simple mathematical decomposition, but after achieving small goals, the improvement of team morale is multiplied.

The fourth quarter begins.

On the Thunder side are Livingston, Maggette, Durant, Diaw and Brown.

Heat side, Cole, Wade, James Jones, Haslem and Thompson.

The Thunder attacked first, and Durant's catch swayed to the basket, squeezed away Thompson and scored with a one-handed throw.

This is not his usual way of attacking, but it can be felt from this that his state is the best since the start of the game.

Wade breaks through Maggette, Maggette keeps retreating, Wade breaks through to the restricted area and makes an emergency stop.

At this time, Brown flew over to defend, and Wade adjusted the arc before shooting.

"boom!"

The shot was short, hit the front of the basket and missed, and the rebound was taken by Diao who rushed over.

The Thunder played a defensive counterattack. Durant took the ball in the frontcourt and strode forward. No matter how he did it, he shrank to the basket. His shot was interfered and then missed.

But at this moment, Maggette came from behind, jumped up and forced down the offensive rebound, and directly forced up against Wade who was turning around.

There was a confrontation between the two in the air, and Maggette had the upper hand and successfully threw the ball.

"boom!"

The ball still missed.

But Livingston also arrived at this time, raised his hand and clicked the ball.

With one goal and two men making up, the Thunder's enthusiasm on the field is quite high.

After the ball was added, the Thunder played a wave of 4-0 offensive, which was the clarion call for a counterattack.

Spoelstra saw the momentum and hurriedly replaced James.

Tang Tian also replaced Harden after seeing it.

The appearance of James has improved the offensive and defensive quality of the Heat, but the Thunder has already started. After Harden and Durant scored consecutive three-pointers from the outside, the Thunder have narrowed the point difference to 2 points visible to the naked eye. burden.

But with this one ball, the game came to an unprecedented anxious moment.

Durant scored a layup here, and James immediately scored a tough dunk there.

Harden caused a foul here, and Wade also broke through and responded with a throw.

The game fell by two points from more than 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, and it was still two points until one minute before the end of the game.

This has become a threshold that the Thunder can't cross.

The hearts of the fans at the scene were anxious to the throat.

The Thunder's offense, Harden's accelerated breakthrough, evaded Wade and Bosh in a row, but James shot out from the side again, and the flying block directly slapped his shot out of the field.

There was a commotion at the scene.

The Thunder sent another sideline kick, and Durant's three-point shot went in and then popped out, ushering in even greater commotion on the scene.

James scored a long rebound to fight back, and Westbrook fouled early to stop it.

The Heat's fast break was under the basket, but this was also Westbrook's sixth personal foul and he was sent off directly.

Substitution for Livingston.

James' two free throws.

The fans booed all over the place.

James withstood the pressure and sent the first free throw to the basket.

The noise of interference was still there. His second shot was short and hit the front. Ibaka jumped up and received the most critical rebound.

The Thunder called a timeout.

"James, you play this ball." Tang Tian directly arranged with the tactical board.

Durant is the defensive focus of the Heat, and Westbrook is not on the court. At this time, Harden is the last choice.

Back from the timeout, the Thunder's backcourt ball, Harden took the ball to the frontcourt, Durant went around the three-point line, Harden ran without the ball.

Durant singled James with the ball, but after two rounds, he flicked the ball to Harden, who came out of the pick-and-roll. Harden made a three-pointer, and after flying Ray Allen, he took the ball directly to the basket Dash down.

Bosh came to help defend at this time, but Harden didn't choose the Eurostep or dodge, but jumped up and made a strong dunk.

Bosh obviously didn't expect it, and instinctively turned sideways to hide for a while.

"boom!"

Harden is very much like the previous Maggette, directly pressing the ball into the basket with both hands.
