NBA: No. 1 Forward

, NBA: No. 1 forward

In 4 seconds, the Heat were still two points behind, and the Knicks still had two free throws.

As long as Cousins ​​​​makes two free throws, for the Heat, the game can be declared over.

All the fans looked at Cousins ​​nervously and expectantly.

To be honest, this is the first time Cousins ​​has experienced such a special moment in his NBA career.

He swallowed nervously, hoping to relieve the pressure.

In the first free throw, the basketball hit the basket and rolled out of the basket after bouncing.

This made everyone in the Heat breathe a sigh of relief, and looked forward to Cousins' second free throw error again.

The fans at the scene were afraid that it would affect Cousins' performance, and the nervous atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Although Cousins ​​missed the first free throw, I was a little disappointed.

But they still hope that after Cousins ​​adjusts his state, he can make the second free throw.

"Relax, take a deep breath, and dribble twice more. It's just a free throw, treat it as training, don't stress, I have everything!"

Lian Dao stepped forward to high-five Cousins, and offered encouragement and psychological counseling.

Lian Dao's last words made Cousins ​​less stressed, and he smiled gratefully at Lian Dao.

Just now Cousins' free throw was too stiff, and it can be seen from the free throw posture that he was too nervous.

In the second free throw, Cousins ​​kept hitting the ball before the free throw, adjusted his rhythm, and took a deep breath.

After adjusting the rhythm, raise your hand, dial the ball, and shoot.

The second penalty, hollow into the net penalty!

Seeing that Cousins ​​made the second free throw, although coach Spoelstra was a little disappointed, he immediately called a timeout.

The Heat trailed by three points, and with four seconds left, he had to arrange the team's final attack.

Four seconds is just a flick of a finger.

The Heat had no other choice, they could only choose to shoot a three-pointer and drag the game into overtime.

Otherwise, they can only accept failure.

Therefore, Coach Spoelstra actually has nothing to worry about, and he has only one tactic, and that is the three-point tactic.

As for who will execute the last attack, Coach Spoelstra still prefers James.

The first is that he is in the best state of the game.

The second is that he is the core of the Heat's offense. At the most critical time, he should take on this responsibility, and Coach Spoelstra can only trust him.

Of course, he will also formulate other alternatives.

After all, the situation on the court is changing rapidly, and he has to formulate the closest to perfect tactics.

Coach Spoelstra, the Heat's coach, draws tactical moves over and over again, and his hands are shaking now.

He was too stressed and too nervous.

Although he wasn't going to play the final attack later, Spoel still felt very uneasy.

It can also be seen from this that James, who performed the last attack, was under a lot of pressure at this time.

James was also very nervous. He kept taking deep breaths to adjust his state, hoping to relieve some pressure.

Indeed, this is not the first time the Heat have faced such a lore moment this season.

This is not the first time James has executed such a key ball.

But the Heat's opponent in this game is the Knicks, which is really special.

It's not just James who wants to beat the Knicks, everyone on the Heat wants to beat the Knicks.

In the hearts of everyone in the Knicks, the Heat are the Knicks' biggest enemy in the East.

In the hearts of the Heat, the Knicks are also their worst enemy.

No one is willing to lose to the most important opponent in the playoffs all the time!

The Knicks are like this, and so are the Heat.

Moreover, almost every Heat player knows that if they lose this game.

That means that the entire regular season, the Heat completely fell into the hands of the Knicks.

Even if they meet in the playoffs, they will be a head shorter than the Knicks in terms of momentum.

Compared with the abnormal tension on the Heat's side, the Knicks' side is much more relaxed.

D'Antoni's tactics are much simpler, all the players with the strongest defense are deployed, and then stick to the opponent's outside three-pointer.

If the opponent wants to get two points, D'Antoni doesn't mind, but he doesn't think about three points.

As soon as the tactics of the two sides were arranged, the timeout period also ended.

In the last four seconds, both Lian Dao and James returned to the court.

"LeBron, stop struggling, you can't escape my palm!"

Seeing James' solemn face, Lian Dao continued to add fuel to the flames by spouting trash talk.

James has no time and no mood to fight back against Lian Dao at this time.

As the core of the offense, the pressure on him is no longer enough to distract him from thinking about how to respond to Lian Dao's trash talk.

James stands near the free throw line.

However, Lian Dao and Knicks players always lay out defenses outside the three-point line.

The Knicks don't want James to run out to catch the ball, and the Heat players have to cover for James.

Players from both sides finally squeezed together.

Seeing that the Heat are about to violate the serve and Hasleb is about to implement the coach's second set of tactics.

James had a chance to run back, and then Haslem handed the ball to James at the last second of a violation on the horse.

As soon as James received the ball, Lian Dao posted it immediately.

Everyone in the Heat immediately separated to help James open up the space.

"LeBron, if you can't make the shot, you will still be blocked by me!"

Lian Dao not only put pressure on James physically, but also continued to put pressure on him psychologically.

But James was unmoved on his face, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

However, looking around, the teammates had no chance at all.

The arrow is on the string, he has to fire!

If you push Lian Dao, you will force a shot when you lift the ball.

Over there, Tony Allen gave up Wade and double-teamed him immediately.

And Wade also ran out of the three-point line.

Seeing this, James was overjoyed, and immediately made a "bullet pass" and passed the ball to Wade.

"Snapped!"

Lian Dao rushed forward, got ahead of James, once again took advantage of his super long wingspan, and shot the ball out.

At the same time, he stepped forward quickly, controlled the basketball, and threw the ball into the air before James fouled.

The basketball fell, the buzzer sounded, and the rebound indicator light turned red!

"LeBron made a mistake. He didn't choose to shoot at the last moment, but chose to pass the ball to Wade who had a chance!"

"But his intention seems to have been seen through by Sickle long ago. The moment LeBron passed the ball, Sickle rushed out!"

[Recommended, changing the source app to chase books is really easy to use, download it here and try it quickly. 】

"In other words, Sickle predicted LeBron's choice in advance!"

"It's really unbelievable, and it's really amazing!"

"The Heat's last attack was ruined by sickle, the time ran out, and the great Knicks won the game."

"The offensive confrontation of two superstars for a whole game, I didn't expect that it would end with defense in the end!"

"Looking back on D'Antoni's past coaching career, it's hard to imagine that in his team, defense will win."

"I don't know whether Sickle and the Knicks changed D'Antoni, or D'Antoni achieved a breakthrough himself!"

"But what I know is that the offensive and defensive Knicks are becoming stronger!"

"Maybe this is the main reason why the Knicks were able to win the championship last season!"

In an instant, the entire stadium was shaken.

The roar of the commentator, the madness of the Knicks players and the sighs and disbelief of the Heat players were mixed together.

Created an excellent atmosphere for Lian Dao's great defense.

James looked at his hands for a moment, his face full of remorse.

He hated himself for hesitating at the end, he hated himself for choosing to pass the ball in the end.

James turned his head to look at Lian Dao, only to find that Lian Dao was gesturing goodbye to him.

In fact James did fall into the trap that Lian Dao set for him.

After James was blocked by Lian Dao in his last shot, he already had a psychological shadow in his heart.

This kind of psychological shadow will cause people to subtly affect their judgment when making two-way choices.

However, he didn't feel it himself.

But Lian Dao, who knows James' character, has noticed it.

In fact, the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy.

James' hesitant character at critical moments has always existed.

Especially at critical moments, he will always give the ball to more reasonable players.

Only when everyone has no better chance, he will force his shot.

There's nothing wrong with that, and that's how team basketball should be.

But he is a superstar, he is the core of the offense, at the last moment, he should be "independent"!

Even if he misses the shot, even if his teammates have a chance, he should control his own life and death!

But James just lacks this "independent" temperament.
