The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 28: The Magical Brush

Hayes, Hayes!

At least his movement speed is much better than Uncle Huo's. Although he sacrificed some offensive ability, the defense should not be so easily broken by the Heat.

Sure enough, after Uncle Huo left the field, the Rockets' defensive strength immediately increased.

There were a lot of controversies in the Heat's championship last year, but their lack of outside three-point ability was their biggest sticking point. This became more obvious after O'Neal's inside dominance further declined this year.

Without a stable three-pointer, their offense can only rely on a large number of breakthroughs.

After Hayes' defense speed increased, their breakthroughs were naturally restricted.

The effect of this substitution is indeed as Tang Tian said before, it is much better than pure defense.

The situation on the field gradually stabilized, and the fights between you and me fell into a stalemate.

The Heat couldn't open the score, but the Rockets couldn't get close either.

This is the limitation of Hayes and Yao Ming's partnership. Defense is enough, but Hayes has no shooting ability, so the Heat's choice on the defensive end has become much simpler.

The situation on the court was stalemate for most of the quarter, and the two sides replaced each other one after another.

On the Heat side, Alonzo Mourning, Gary Payton, Antoine Walker and other veterans all played. These are all former All-Stars with full playing experience.

But for the Rockets, Millsep is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and continuously hits the basket hard, and these old men can't do much about him.

The main players are at a stalemate, the substitutes are at a stalemate, and neither side can do anything about the other.

This situation was stalemate until the fourth quarter. McGrady on the Rockets side came to the touch and hit a few consecutive pull-ups. With 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the Rockets finally overtook 98-97!

The Heat called a timeout.

A battle of focus, hit the countdown stage, 1 point difference, there is no better script than this.

Now the fans have all stood up from their seats.

The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean also raised their hearts to their throats.

"Charles and Kenny should be the most nervous at this time. They probably felt sweaty in their hearts." At this point in the commentary, Miller also let go, using such words to ease the tense atmosphere of the scene.

In both halves, the head coaches of both sides are nervously arranging offense and defense.

Van Gundy focused his defense on the inside.

The Heat played the entire game, and there was a high probability that Wade would hit the key ball. At this time, defending the inside is the most normal choice.

Tang Tian turned his head to look at the Heat's bench.

The head coach of the Heat is Pat Riley, nicknamed "The Fortune Teller". He is known for his wily calculations, and most of the last attacks will not follow common sense.

As an assistant coach, he needs to remind him, but with previous experience, he knows that Van Gundy will probably not listen to him.

After Van Gundy finished the arrangement and before the players went on the court, he pulled Battier and whispered for a while, telling him to pay attention to the Heat's outside three-pointers.

Back from the timeout, the Heat made adjustments to the lineup, and they replaced Kapono, who performed well in this game.

Kapono is an excellent three-point shooter at the same level as Novak. Seeing him playing, Tang Tian became more and more confident in his speculation.

The game started, and the Heat let "White Chocolate" Williams control the time on the outside. When the attack clock entered the last ten seconds, he handed the ball to Wade.

Posey and Haslem mentioned the high position at the same time, and made a double pick-and-roll on the left and the right.

"Shrink! Shrink!" Seeing the battle, Van Gundy was convinced that his arrangement was correct, and shouted to remind him from the sidelines.

The Rockets quickly shrink the basket,

Wade this time by Haslem's pick-and-roll reached the basket.

The Rockets were tightly defending the basket at this time, and he didn't have a good shot.

This attack looks like it will be blocked.

"Xiao En!" But at this moment, Tang Tian shouted from the sidelines.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Wade's breakthrough, only Tang Tian noticed that at the moment Wade activated, Haslem turned around and made a pick-and-roll for Kapono.

Hearing Tang Tian's shout, Battier turned around and ran towards Kapono.

But it was too late. He shrank the basket according to Van Gundy's arrangement before, and it took time to go out.

Wade really passed the ball at this time, a cross pass, and the ball went straight to Kapono's hands.

Kapono catches the ball from outside the three-point line.

"Shua!"

Under the watchful eyes of the fans at the scene, Kapono met Battier who was coming, and hit the open three-pointer steadily.

100 to 98!

The Heat overtook the score!

The audience immediately exploded!

"It seems that Charles is going to prepare underwear." In the commentary, Brin said with a smile.

The scene shot was given to the head coach of the Heat, Riley, who was still calm and relaxed, and he really deserved to be a "magic fortune teller".

Van Gundy shook his head in annoyance, obviously he didn't expect Riley to make this move at the last moment.

Also frustrated are the members of the Rockets, who worked hard for the whole game and finally overtook at the last moment, but were killed at the last moment. This experience is really terrible.

"What kind of expression do you have? The game is not over yet, why are you just admitting defeat like this?" Tang Tian said loudly while holding onto the tactical board when the players left the field.

This shout was like a blow to the head, and the team members all came back to their senses.

"Steve, you are ready to play." Seeing the players come back to their senses, Tang Tian pointed directly at Novak in the training uniform and shouted.

Novak was at the outermost edge of the circle, and was taken aback when he heard Tang Tian's words, thinking he had heard it wrong.

In fact, not only Novak himself, but also the other team members were completely stunned. This Novak hasn't played for a minute before?

In fact, let alone this game, Novak has never played this season!

"Tang, what do you want to do?" Van Gundy couldn't help asking at this time. Although Tang Tian was given the power to arrange the offense, he was the head coach and was mainly responsible for winning or losing the game.

"Let's make a three-pointer." Tang Tian didn't answer Van Gundy directly, but picked up the tactics board and began to draw tactics.

Playing overtime at the Heat's home court is definitely not good for the Rockets, and the game must be ended within regular season time.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Novak realized that he was really going to play, and hurriedly took off his training clothes.

Van Gundy frowned, Tang Tian ignored him.
