Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 338 Tie-break gambler!

The Magic got the match point ahead of the Heat. In this series, the Magic's probability of advancing is already far higher than that of the Heat. However, the next game is at the Heat's home court. The Heat are the defending champions, so the probability of being equalized is still very high. Even if they were tied, Game 7 was played at the Magic's home court, and the Magic still had the advantage.

Today, the Spurs and the Mavericks tied at 2:3. The Spurs pulled back a game and are expected to reach the tiebreaker.

The next day, in the game between the Pistons and the Cavaliers, James was indeed a little inflated and wanted to take advantage of the situation to win this game directly. As a result, he was beaten by the Pistons. The Pistons defeated the Cavaliers in three quarters and tied the series score at 2:3.

The match between the Clippers and the Lakers was also 2:3. These four sets of matchups were all equally close.

Starting from the next game, which is the sixth game of the series, the suspense will slowly be revealed. Four teams have got the match point, and it is possible that these four teams will solve their opponents in the sixth game at the same time.

At least, that's what Sun Zhuo thought.

Arriving at the home court of the Miami Heat, the Magic had already secured match point and did not want to drag out the series any longer. The Heat were too strong. Even if it was delayed until the end, even if it was the home court of the Magic, they were not sure. They were going to win in this game. Just strive for promotion.

The Heat are aiming to defend their title this season, so how can they be willing to be eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals?

Pat Riley rarely became nervous, and O'Neal and Wade became more serious. Although the Magic won three games, they still did not find a way to deal with O'Neal and Wade. Ariza guarded Wade well in the last game. In one game, he was beaten by Wade. Ariza was given three fouls in a single quarter and was knocked off the court.

The Magic used the "shark-cutting tactic" against O'Neal. Unexpectedly, O'Neal also made good free throws today. Apart from controlling the opponent's offensive rhythm, it had no effect.

As a result, the Heat tied the score at home and the series was dragged to Game 7!

"It's a tiebreaker... Even though the next game is at home, it's still a bit uncertain. But the Heat's momentum is too strong today. I'm afraid they may not be able to win if we try it again."

After being tied at 3:3, Sun Zhuo was also thinking about whether to use the game to repeat the challenge card, but finally decided not to use it. Maybe he would win the next game directly at home, thus saving a challenge card.

The result of another game today surprised Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo originally thought that the Spurs would tie with the Mavericks 3:3 like in the previous life. As a result, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs 4:2 today and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

"The Mavericks beat the Spurs in six games?" Sun Zhuo was very surprised when he heard the result. He even watched the video of their game. There was nothing special. It was just that the Mavericks played better than the Spurs, so they won.

"I just sent a text message to Popovich. It won't have any impact on their series..." Sun Zhuo felt a little guilty. He felt that even if it had an impact, it should be a good impact. Why six It was explained right away...

The Mavericks did not wait too long. The next day, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 4:2 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The Lakers and Mavericks will compete for the Western Conference Championship!

LeBron James lost another game and was equalized by the Pistons. He also had the same fate as Sun Zhuo and had to go through a tiebreaker.

May 21st, Magic home court, tiebreaker!

The crowd was crowded today, and there were many more media than before. This is a day where the results are bound to come out. Even the most senior basketball commentators must not be able to decide who will advance between the league's rookies and the defending champions.

"Sun, will you lose this game?" On the top floor of the arena, there was a spectator wearing a peaked cap that wrapped himself tightly, sitting quietly in his seat. He was Artest.

"I won't be in the front row, you can't do anything to me, right?" Artest was targeted by the Heat and Sun Zhuo before, which made him very depressed. He knew that he was not welcome here, but today there are It might be the day when Sun Zhuo was eliminated. He, who was only waiting to compete with Sun Zhuo, couldn't help but come to the scene.

LeBron James, who did not have a game today, also stayed in front of the TV on time. "I originally thought that at this time, I would sit back and wait for my opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals without worries. But now I am not sure whether I can enter the Eastern Conference Finals."

James has always paid special attention to Sun Zhuo and Wade, but now, he is more concerned about his own series. You must know that their tiebreaker with the Pistons is at the Pistons' home court, and the Cavaliers have a slim chance of winning.

At the scene, all players were actively doing warm-up exercises.

"The tiebreaker is finally here. For others, it may be a life and death battle, but for me, losing can still be recovered. Don't be too nervous. They must be very careful in the seventh game. , I can be a little bolder, they don't have three-pointers, so I will hit them first with three-pointers!" Sun Zhuo has experienced the previous six games and has enough confidence to beat the Heat.

More importantly, when everyone was standing on the edge of the cliff, no one had any safety guarantee, but Sun Zhuo had something hanging on him, and he was not afraid.

Pat Riley was still spotless in his suit and tie, with a godfather attitude, and said secretly: "Experience and patience will allow us to win this game. Magic, Sun, if you can fight us to the seventh game, you have already succeeded. .”

Pat Riley believes that even if today is the home court of the Magic, the Heat still have a better chance of winning, because in this game, everyone will be very serious and careful, there will be fewer mistakes, and the defense will be better. In this case, the Heat's championship experience and All the old players will help them to win, but the Magic are too young and will make mistakes if they are not guaranteed.

After the Spurs lost the series, Popovich also turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast today. "It's not easy for Sun to win against the Heat. Pat Riley and Shaq will not lose Game 7."

Even Popovich thought Sun Zhuo would lose.

It’s not surprising that they have this idea. Judging from the first six games, if the game drags on slowly, the Heat will indeed have the advantage, but today, Sun Zhuo will give a completely different game.

The competition starts soon!

The Magic's first attack, Sun Zhuo slowly dribbled the ball across half court. Before the Heat could set up their defensive position and react to Sun Zhuo's attack, Sun Zhuo suddenly took action.

Whoosh!

The basketball has been thrown into the air.

"What?" The Heat players were all stunned, taking action in such a hurry? How could anyone be so anxious when attacking for the first time?

And it’s a three-pointer!

Uh-huh!

Since there was no interference with this shot, Sun Zhuo had A+ three-point shooting ability and easily hit the first three-pointer.

When Pat Riley saw this, he was also stunned, "Is this a test? A practice? Or was it meant to be given to Dwight, but he didn't get a chance, so he voted?"

Riley can only think this way, you can't regard the Magic's top star as a player who shoots indiscriminately, right?

The Heat were rushing to defend their title, and their offensive was fierce from the beginning. O'Neal attracted a double-team, and finally passed the ball to Haslem and hit a two-pointer.

The Heat didn't take Sun Zhuo's previous offense to heart, and returned to the defense in a leisurely manner, still restricting Sun Zhuo according to their regular defense. This time, Sun Zhuo and Howard cooperated on a screen at the top of the key, and Sun Zhuo took advantage of it. The screen went to the right and was quickly surrounded by two people. Sun Zhuo stopped the ball and pretended to pass it to Howard. Just this action caused both people to retreat and evacuate from Sun Zhuo's side.

At this time, Sun Zhuo pulled it up again and threw it!

"Another three-pointer?" Everyone was shocked, and then there was a "swish" sound, and he hit it again!

"I can't understand, I really can't understand what Sun is doing." Popovich kept shaking his head. In these two attacks, Sun Zhuo was obviously more inclined to the outside three-pointer, but at the beginning of the game, when there was no completely open space, Under such circumstances, it is extremely risky to shoot a three-pointer.

"He wouldn't want to bet on a three-pointer with us, would he? If the three-pointer is accurate, they will gain an advantage, but if the three-pointer is not accurate, they will be passive... This is a tiebreaker, how could he dare? Do this?" Riley was equally confused. What did Sun Zhuo's two three-pointers mean?

Artest, who was sitting at the top of the arena, also snorted coldly: "Sun is simply a gambler! He actually came up and threw two three-pointers. These two three-pointers are so irresponsible. If he shoots them all If he misses, even at home, he will be greeted with boos."

Although Artest said it was a bit exaggerated, it is indeed the case. The fans also value the outcome of this game. If they see Sun Zhuo wasting his chance to shoot like this, they will definitely be very sad. Fortunately, now The ball was scored. If it had not been scored, there would definitely be radical fans who would yell at Sun Zhuo, "What are you doing!"

"Sun is definitely not gambling. He is a wise leader. He made these two shots with absolute certainty. This is called a surprise. He will not do this again."

"Yes, I have the same view as you. Use the threat from the outside to make them guard Sun tightly, so as to gain opportunities in other aspects. Sun should be thinking this way."

Magic fans don't think Sun Zhuo is gambling either.

"Yes, I am betting on my three-pointers, on our team's three-pointers, on our ability to establish a lead with three-pointers in the opening game! I dare to bet, because I can afford to lose!"

No one knows that Sun Zhuo is a gambler at this moment!

Coach Hill was sweating coldly on the sidelines. When Sun Zhuo told Hill his thoughts on this game, Coach Hill felt it was too risky, but Sun Zhuo insisted on doing so. The three-pointer was the Heat's biggest The weakness is that the Heat do not have the help of three-pointers. Once the score is opened, they will never be able to catch up.

The Heat also continued to score goals, and the score became 6:4.

Sun Zhuo attacked for the third time. This time the defense he encountered was a little tighter, but Sun Zhuo still resolutely shot a three-pointer from the outside!

"Vote again! Why is he so sure?"

If this ball is scored again, Pat Riley will wonder if Sun Zhuo got the plug-in from somewhere. How could he score one goal after another like this?

boom.

The ball bounced out, but Howard grabbed the rebound immediately. At this time, Howard saw Sun Zhuo running to the right corner and immediately passed the ball to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo came to his best position in the bottom corner and shot immediately after receiving the ball!

Uh-huh!

Hit again!

9:4!

"He is absolutely crazy! His first four shots were all three-pointers! But he made three of four..." Artest stood up excitedly.

"Ah, aren't you Ron Artest of the Kings?" The fans around him recognized Artest.

At this time, the Heat assistant coach saw that the situation was getting out of control, so he walked behind Pat Riley and asked, "Do you want to call a timeout?"

Although Pat Riley did not expect that the situation would turn out like this, he firmly replied: "Why call a timeout to give the madman a chance to calm down? If he wants to shoot a three-pointer, let him shoot!"

Pat Riley didn't believe that Sun Zhuo's three-pointers were so powerful. If he really made one, this series wouldn't have to be postponed to the seventh game.

The Heat's offensive was still fierce, and soon the score became 9:6.

"If Sun misses all three-pointers, I'm afraid he will be beaten by the Heat now. It's really dangerous. Sun is too bold to gamble." LeBron James couldn't help but sweat for the Magic when he saw this.

Everyone thought that Sun Zhuo would restrain himself next, but he didn't.

Sun Zhuo did not force the shot again because the defense he encountered was different, but he still asked his teammates to shoot three-pointers.

Immediately afterwards, Turkoglu also hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle.

12:6!

"What the hell!" Pat Riley finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout, but he didn't blame the Heat players at all. They did a good job, the Magic took the lead, and there was a lot of luck.

"Why are they so confident in outside three-pointers today? Have they practiced three-pointers in the past few days?" Wade returned to his seat, also depressed.

"Even if they practice three extra points, these rookies who have never played in the playoffs will not dare to shoot in the tiebreaker. This is the tiebreaker. I have played in the playoffs for so many years and won so many As a multiple championship player, I was very cautious and even a little nervous in today’s tiebreaker. But look at some of them, especially Sun. They didn’t take the game seriously at all. They just took the ball and shot! They didn’t respect this tiebreaker at all. Seven games!" O'Neal also complained. It was not Sun Zhuo's three-pointers that made him most depressed, but Sun Zhuo's indifferent attitude.

"Is Sun's memory not very good recently? Why don't you go over and remind him that today is the tiebreaker, not just a playoff game. If he loses, the season will be over." Anthony Walker said.

O'Neill nodded, he really felt that this was necessary.

"Ignore him, let them shoot if they want to. Once their shooting percentage drops, we can quickly control the game. They are helping us." Pat Riley confidently said that in all his years of coaching, he has never encountered this before. He was defeated by someone with a three-pointer in the opening game.

The Magic are now leading the score, and they are more confident and relaxed mentally. And then, they continue to do this, constantly looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside. When the opportunity arises, no one will hesitate at all.

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Jameer Nelson and Sun Zhuo hit three-pointers one after another!

Soon, the score became 18:10.

The Heat have played well enough and can score almost all the goals they should score, but they are still 8 points behind.

"Do you know that today is the seventh game?" O'Neal couldn't bear it anymore and walked towards Sun Zhuo and asked.
