Chapter 428 From Heaven to Hell(2/2)
After Wade arrived at the frontcourt, he kept controlling the ball, stabilizing the rhythm, and consuming the little time left.
Suddenly, Wade passed the ball with a hit and the ball quickly bounced into the hands of Udunis Haslem, who was tangentially cut.
At this time, Al Horford was behind James, and Josh Smith also pulled out to defend, so Haslem had a chance to complete a good dunk.
Udunis Haslem took a light step forward and the ball in his hand was already dunking towards the basket.
Suddenly, a man came over from the flank.
"Bang", Wu Feng's hand covered the basketball, which was a very clean cover.
"Bang", Udunis Haslem's powerful dunk was blocked by Wu Feng with all his strength. Although the blocking was not strong, the ball still hit the front of the rebound. The huge recoil force also bounced Udunis Haslem backwards.
The dunked basketball was snatched by Marvin Williams, and then he and Cork Hinrich raced against time to rush towards the Heat's half.
There is not much time left now, but they are still 4 points behind. Therefore, they must score a goal in a short time and then put down the Heat to have a chance to turn the tables.
Cork Hinrich covers Marvin Williams, who successfully gets rid of the defense of "Little Emperor" LeBron James and rushes toward the basket.
Marvin Williams is now extremely hardworking. He saw Wu Feng's persistence in victory and tried his best to win the team.
And now, he cannot disappoint Wu Feng. He wants to score this goal, so that Wu Feng's efforts will not be in vain.
As Marvin Williams broke through LeBron James' defense, Chris Bosh made up and stood in front of Marvin Williams.
There is not much time left, and the last 25.2 seconds left.
Facing Chris Bosh's backup defense, Marvin Williams was not afraid at all, and turned around and blocked him behind him.
But at this time, there was still a big man standing under the Heat's basket, Udunis Haslem.
Marvin Williams looked solemn. Suddenly, he passed the ball through Udunis Haslem's crotch.
It was Al Horford who received the pass from Marvin Williams.
At this time, Al Horford was completely in a free space, and even if Udunis Haslem turned around and blocked, it was too late.
After receiving the pass from Marvin Williams, Al Horford directly jumped. Udunis Haslem, who reacted, quickly turned around, held his hands high, and jumped up to block Al Horford.
But Al Horford is an active attacking side and is well prepared. Of course, it is not something that Haslem can defend against.
Al Horford used all his strength to dunk the ball towards the basket.
Udunis Haslem also reached out to block the ball in Al Horford's hand.
"Drip". The referee called Haslem for a defensive foul.
Meanwhile, Al Horford made a dunk.
Then, Al Horford walked to the free throw line again.
Taking a deep breath, Al Horford knew that he could not lose this free throw. Because as long as the penalty was made, they would only be 1 point behind the Heat.
Now, the score on the field is 123:121.
Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Seeing the cooked ducks flying, he could not be anxious.
However, the Heat no longer have the chance to call for a timeout, and he can no longer use the timeout to arrange some tactics.
"Swish", Cork Hinrich's free throw was very stable, so stable that Wu Feng and others laughed, so stable that Eric Spoelstra and others turned dark.
Since the Heat didn't ask for a timeout, they had to serve in the backcourt.
However, this result made them a little happy. Because in this way, they could delay time.
Although the Hawks have narrowed the gap to 1 point, after all, the Heat still have a 1-point lead.
There are only the last twenty-three seconds left, so the Heat will have to spend time until the last moment.
Although the Atlanta has implemented a full-game pressing defense, it has failed to force the Miamis to make a mistake.
Mario Chalmos came to the frontcourt with the ball. At this moment, there were only seventeen seconds left before the end of the game.
Wu Feng gritted his teeth and rushed to Mario Chalmos with a quick step.
Although Wu Feng looked extremely tired, Mario Chalmos still felt Wu Feng's powerful oppression.
After thinking about it, Mario Chalmos passed the ball to LeBron James.
At this time, there are only the last 9 seconds left.
Everyone knows that the Heat want to delay time, especially the Atlanta.
So, with five seconds left, Marvin Williams rushed up and used a foul tactic against LeBron James, which was also approved by Larry Drew.
LeBron James walked onto the free throw line.
What worries Atlanta people is that LeBron James made both free throws.
That is to say, they are now 3 points behind the Heat, and in the next five seconds, they have to make a three-pointer. Moreover, even if they make this three-pointer, the game will only enter overtime.
Larry Drew called a timeout, which only lasted twenty seconds.
Twenty seconds later, the game continued.
No one knows what tactics the Hawks have set up, and no one knows who will shoot the Hawks' last shot.
Josh Smith is responsible for serving on the sideline, while the other four players on the court are all on the front line, namely Marvin Williams, Cork Hinrich, Jeff Teague and Wu Feng.
These four people have three-pointers, so the Hawks' goal is also obvious, which is to shoot three-pointers.
"Sizizi", Wu Feng once again made Mario Chalmos sigh at his tenacity after a short rest.
Wu Feng spent a lot of energy to speed up getting rid of Mario Chalmos before receiving Radmanovich's serve near the midfield.
After receiving the ball, Wu Feng did not stop for a moment and chose to break through directly.
When he came outside the three-point line, all the Heat players became nervous.
No one dares to underestimate Wu Feng's three-point shooting ability. This season, Wu Feng's three-point shooting percentage has improved a bit compared to last season, reaching an astonishing 49.2%, ranking first in the league.
This hit rate makes many players ashamed because it is a three-point shooting percentage, not a two-point shooting percentage, and some players' two-point shooting percentage is not as high as Wu Feng's three-point shooting percentage.
The Heat players watched Wu Feng come outside the three-point line and quickly came to double-team. Mario Chalmos, Chris Bosh and others quickly blocked Wu Feng's sight, leaving him with no possibility of taking action.
The remaining three players of the Heat also have the priority to defend Jeff Teague, Cork Hinrich and Marvin Williams.
Josh Smith quickly stepped forward and made an unball cover for Cork Hinrich.
Cork Hinrich quickly distanced himself from Wade, but Bathir made up for it.
At the same time, Jeff Teague and Marvin Williams also kept running, tearing the Heat's defense.
At this time, Wu Feng's eyes lit up and he quickly passed the ball out.
He had seen Marvin Williams run out of a gap, so he decisively passed the ball out.
"Not good!" LeBron James, who was in charge of defending Marvin Williams, suddenly became nervous.
All the Heat players, including Miami fans on the scene, were nervous.
The air in the entire American Airlines Arena was filled with tension, and the fans at the scene were so nervous that they dared not breathe.
Marvin Williams took action without any hesitation.
However, when he took action, the whistle at the end of the game also rang out.
Everyone stared at the ball spinning rapidly in the air. This ball determined the life and death of the Hawks and whether the Heat needed overtime to win the final victory.
The entire court became quiet.
"Swish", the crisp and pleasant sound broke the tranquility of the whole audience.
"yeah!" The Hawks cheered on the bench, and even head coach Larry Drew was excited to hold his fists high.
However, what made the Hawks team very desperate was that the referee's penalty for the goal after watching the playback was invalid, which means that the Hawks failed to drag the game into overtime.
They lost.
