Chapter 279 We Are the Champions

There were waves of cheers in the arena, and many staff members began to prepare for the championship celebration ceremony.

Although the Heat are behind by as much as 10 points, there are still people waiting in the player tunnel with championship caps and T-shirts. In the last two and a half minutes, many things may happen. They are not willing to give up. Maximum support.

On the side of Thunder's bench, Westbrook and others formed a big circle on three floors, and Su Yang stood in the middle and calmly emphasized not to worry.

"Remember, after the timeout, whether we continue to lead or the Heat quickly chase points, don't worry..."

There is nothing to talk about tactics anymore, the key is mentality, as long as they can continue to play according to the normal rhythm, the Thunder will win.

After speaking, the entire Thunder team clapped their hands and fists, shouted 123OKC in unison, and then dispersed to get ready.

Su Yang walked to Durant's side and said loudly: "KD, you have teammates who believe in you unconditionally. They have been carrying you forward in the first three quarters. You should cherish this, and maybe you will never will be treated this way.”

Durant's performance was stretched in the first quarter, and he was defended to 9 of 0 shots in the second quarter, and only 7 of 3 shots in the third quarter.

However, except for falling behind in the first quarter, the Thunder has been in the lead at other times, relying on others to carry Durant forward.

That's why Su Yang felt something and decided to take this opportunity to let Durant trust his teammates like Michael Jordan did.

Durant was a little dazed when he heard the words, Su Yang continued: "Look at Russell, he played very well in the first game, but in this game, you performed poorly, and he still continues to pass the ball to you. Hit it yourself, do you understand what I mean?"

Su Yang's implication is that Westbrook can grab the FMVP, but Westbrook didn't do that. Westbrook will not give up the ball to anyone, but he believes in Durant unconditionally, and even in another time and space, he said very sincerely That sentence: What can I change for you?
Durant nodded with a vague understanding, and Su Yang said again: "Trust them, cherish them, and fight with them."

After the words fell, Westbrook and the others who were standing nearby couldn't pretend not to hear them, and gathered together tacitly and shouted again.

The whistle for the end of the pause followed.

The game between the two teams continued, Eddie House replaced Haslem on the Heat side, and the Thunder sent five minor lineups.

Beep!The referee whistled, and the Heat kicked off from the baseline in the backcourt.

Wade dribbled the ball forward frantically, all the way to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the frontcourt, and rushed into the paint with the help of Bosh's cover.

As usual, the Thunder surrounded them. Wade stopped suddenly, twisted his body and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Eddie House received the ball wide open, turned around to face Westbrook and swooped for a shot, the basketball slammed into the basket and rebounded to fly upside down.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Durant got up and grabbed the rebound, landed and strode forward, and the Thunder launched a counterattack.

"The heat is over!"

Seeing that the Heat didn't arrange tactics after the timeout, but had a strong conflict, Su Yang was convinced that the Heat had nothing to do.

On the court, Durant stopped on the left side of the "playoff floor marker" position, and there was still a long distance from the three-point line.

That kind of operation is nothing more than controlling the rhythm, and by the way, fully communicating with other Thunder players to improve the efficiency of tactical success.

With only 12 seconds left on the offensive clock, Harden and Ibaka Ziqi ran to the left wing position to form a double screen.

The Heat double-teamed without hesitation, Durant pulled the ball decisively and retreated, and then passed the ball long to the right 45-degree three-point line.

Westbrook caught the ball and observed for a while, then turned around and passed the ball back, Durant received the ball at the top of the arc, and singled out LeBron one-on-one.

With only 8 seconds left in the attack time, the audience stood up and watched, and the cheers hit the court wave after wave.

The rest of the Thunder opened up the space. Durant lowered his weight and slowly pushed the ball forward. Suddenly, the position of the three-point line changed hands. , Seize the rhythm for a moment, and cast LeBron head-on.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 101 to 89.

The cheers in the arena exploded, and the Heat quickly launched a counterattack. Chalmers ran across the center line with the ball and hurriedly passed a long pass to the right wing.

LeBron received the ball to face Westbrook, and directly released the ball to make a strong charge. Seeing the Thunder's three-two defense, he made an emergency stop and retreated.

when!The basketball hit the rim and bounced upside down.

Westbrook leaped high to grab the rebound, landed and quickly passed the center line, but then stopped, creating a rhythm of protection and control.

The Heat didn't implement foul tactics, let time go by, and in the last nine seconds, Westbrook turned and rushed.

However, Chalmers chased like crazy, Westbrook was difficult to break through, so he could only throw the ball to the right wing in a hurry, and was almost intercepted.

Harden took the ball and rushed two steps, and found that the Heat had no chance to encircle in advance, so he stopped and passed the ball back to the top of the arc.

Upon seeing this, Durant raised his hand to set up a wall as a cover, but Westbrook chose to pass the ball to him, clearly to make it happen.

In a hurry, Durant was unprepared, and the attack time was running out. After receiving the basketball, he dribbled the ball with his left hand and rushed.

Perhaps it was because his left hand was not that proficient, and his protection against the basketball was a bit poor. LeBron suddenly went around and took out the racket, and dropped the racket with a slap.

Chalmers bent down to pick it up, handed it to LeBron in front of him, and the Heat launched a fast-break counterattack.

"Return to defense, return to defense!" Su Yang shouted loudly, but he just wanted to shout a few words out of excitement, without any panic in his heart.

The Thunder will shrink and intercept as usual, and Westbrook is ready to block fouls in advance, but LeBron makes an emergency stop at the three-point line.

when!The basketball rebounded by smashing the basket and hitting the iron.

Durant jumped up lightly to catch the rebound, first made a protection when he landed, and then handed it to Westbrook without any haste.

The Thunder launched a counterattack, and Westbrook slowly dribbled forward, clearly consuming time, but the Heat had nothing to do.

In the last 10 seconds, the basketball passed to the left waist, and Durant singled LeBron with the ball behind his back.

I saw Durant making a coquettish operation, but the moment he turned around, he couldn't get past LeBron and was forced to fumble the ball.

There were screams in the arena, and Durant rushed to grab it, but he missed it, and the basketball rolled directly out of bounds.

The referee blew his whistle to punish the violation and gave the Heat the right to the bottom line. Su Yang laughed on the spot, thinking that the core of the two teams was a little out of order.

The Heat only had one short timeout left, so Spoelstra dared to apply in advance, so he had to frantically make gestures on the sidelines to remind him to play tactics.

But Wade was out of breath, his eyes full of determination, no matter what the tactics were, he caught the ball in the back court and rushed to the top three-point line of the front court, and simply used Bosh to cover and stay away from Harden, followed by An emergency stop and pull-up three-pointer that he is not good at.

when!The basketball rebounded by smashing the basket and hitting the iron.

Westbrook grabbed a rebound from the short corner on the left. With only 50 seconds left before the end of the game, the Thunder led by as many as 12 points.

The result of the game has been determined, but the Heat did not give up. Bosh directly led the press in the backcourt, and the pressure was full.

It's a pity that Bosh is too tall, and Westbrook's unobtrusive emergency stop + change of direction operation almost knocked Bosh down.

The Heat's press came to an abrupt end, Spoelstra shouted a foul from the sidelines, but Westbrook couldn't catch it when he rushed up.

I saw Westbrook dribbling the ball from the left to the right. Seeing the defender approaching, he vigorously passed the ball in the middle.

Durant catches the ball at the top of the arc, passes it to Harden without hesitation, and then runs up to the wall for a screen with a smile on his face.

The most basic trailer screen was formed like that. Harden took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the left and rushed, and the Heat continued to double-team.

Seeing this, Durant followed up, received Westbrook's ground pass, ignored LeBron's pursuit behind him, and hit the layup smartly.

boom!The basketball bounces into the net.

103 to 89, with 24.5 seconds left before the end of the game, the Heat neither called a timeout nor attacked, and lay down.

Neither Wade nor LeBron had the ball, and Chalmers dribbled across the center line, but the Thunder were still defending the three-two zone defense.

Then there was the sound of iron strikes, Harden grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Heat did not foul, letting time pass.

That meant that the Heat gave up the game. Seeing this, Su Yang walked back to the bench, and specially thanked Barnes and Livingston and other players whose playing time was greatly reduced in the finals, thanked them for their support and understanding, and supported them in all the next steps operate.

The final whistle sounded, and the Thunder beat the Heat 103 to 89 and won the championship 4 to 3 in the finals.
