Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 379 [Pass the ball or pass the pot]

Wang Jun's brave behavior inspired his teammates. Carter, Kidd, and Jefferson also started fouling, preventing O'Neal from getting the ball into the basket comfortably.

They are already 0 to 3 behind, and if they lose this game, they will be out. What are you afraid of?

In the first half, the Nets trailed 47 to 60. In the second half, they rallied to catch up, and the defensive end strengthened their confrontation.

O'Neal's free throws have always been bad. He has averaged more than ten free throws per game for 11 consecutive seasons. This season has dropped to 7.3 and his shooting percentage is 49.3%.

In this game, he made 12 free throws in the third quarter. There were too many free throws and his shooting percentage dropped. The Heat's offense became intermittent, and Carter, Jefferson, and Wang Jun seized the opportunity to overtake the score. 92 to 88.

In the final quarter, it was hard to prevent O'Neal's inside attack, and Eddie Jones stepped forward again.

Eddie is a very unlucky person. Kobe can only serve as a substitute for him when he first arrived in the Lakers. He was selected as an All-Star, has comprehensive skills, is recognized as a super swingman, and was once called Jordan's successor.

But while he was there, the Lakers never made it to the Finals. As soon as he was traded away, the Lakers won the championship, and it was three consecutive championships.

Now, Eddie has another chance to partner with O'Neal, and he cherishes this season very much.

Jones's three-pointer is not bad, but it is not stable enough, just like Duan Yu's six-meridian sword, which is not effective at the right time. Once he gets windy, it's very scary.

The defense was tight in the last quarter, and the Nets only scored 16 points at the end. The Heat's other outside lines were misfired. It was Eddie Jones' three three-pointers that bit the score.

At the last minute, Carter made an emergency stop and missed a jumper. The Heat counterattacked. Wade caught the ball in the frontcourt and took three steps against Carter.

Carter raised his arms to interfere and was not fouled, but he also failed to block the shot. Wade went deep into the basket, hit the cricket with one hand and scored a key goal. 108 to 110.

Kidd broke through with the ball after the pick-and-roll and fouled Haslem.

This is a good opportunity to equalize, Kidd actually lost the chain at a critical moment. Missed two free throws.

Zhang Lili was depressed. "With Kidd's offensive ability, how can he be called the leader of the net team?"

Wade took the ball to the frontcourt and stalled for 20 seconds. O'Neal pulled to the perimeter to cover. At this time, he stopped catching the ball. In the last two minutes, he fouled the players without the ball and made two free throws and one throw. The Heat did not give the Nets a chance to "cut the sharks".

Wade gets the ball off Kidd.

One-step emergency stop jumper inside the right three-point line. Collins successfully interfered, the ball bounced out of the frame, Wang Jun blocked Haslem, protected the backboard, and called a timeout.

With only 7.2 seconds left, the Nets have the ball.

Zhang He understood: "There is still another chance to attack. If you make a two-pointer, it will be overtime. If you make a three-pointer, it is possible to complete the lore. The Nets will definitely arrange a tactic. I don't know who will make the shot."

Yu Jia said: "I think Carter or Wang Jun made the shot. They are the most accurate. Let's forget about Kidd. Today he made 2 of 11 shots and 3 of 6 free throws. His state is too bad."

Lawrence arranged for Kostic to play, cover and catch the ball for Carter, who can break through or shoot from the outside.

Carter felt good today, making 13 of 21 shots and 3 of 5 three-pointers, the Nets' best feel. He can pass the ball if he sees an opening.

The other three are Wang Jun, Scalabrine, and Kidd, who are responsible for looking for opportunities. Jefferson has been sent off for six fouls.

Wang Jun has no objection to this. He also didn't feel good today. He made 6 of 16 shots and 1 of 6 three-pointers.

His rebounding is still ferocious. 20 in this game. It's not that his rebounding ability is so strong that O'Neal is overwhelmed, but that the Heat are afraid of the Nets' fast break, returning to defense quickly, and don't grab offensive rebounds very much.

O'Neal missed the second free throw and allowed Wang Jun to pick up five rebounds easily.

"White Mamba" throws the ball out of bounds, Carter catches the ball from the right and gets rid of Eddie Jones. He drives inside and tries to hit a two-pointer for overtime.

Unexpectedly, Wade let go of Wang Jun to defend the basket and blocked Carter's way. O'Neal turned around and formed a double-team.

Carter hesitated in the face of double-teaming. He was afraid that he would not make a shot, and he didn't want to be the sinner of the team's exit, so he chose to pass the ball under the basket. In fact, with his jumping ability, it is very possible to score against Wade's floater.

Carter made a pass, but couldn't find an open opponent. He passed the ball to the "White Mamba" in the left corner. Haslem defended. Knowing that time was running out, the "White Mamba" passed to the side runner. Wang Jun.

Wang Jun was followed by Eddie, and there was only one second left.

How is this a pass? It is clearly "passing the pot".

Wang Jun had no time to think about it. After catching the ball, he took a step back and threw the ball towards the basket with one hand. His movement was not standard, and he avoided Eddie's block, but he had no time to aim at all...

The ball misses badly, hits the backboard and pops out, O'Neal picks up the basketball, and the final whistle blew.

The Heat players rushed into the field to celebrate, and the Nets players bowed their heads in pain.

Wang Jun stood in the field for a few seconds, unable to believe it was true.

Last season, the Nets were able to kill the Lakers in the finals, but this time they were actually killed by the Heat.

He deeply felt his own powerlessness and inadequacy. On the offensive end, he lacked dominance and could not lead the team to win with his personal ability.

In this series, he lost to Wade again.

Bruce, the boss watching the game from the sidelines, was expressionless, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He woke up, but it was too late.

He really doesn't know basketball, at least not as professionally as Thorn.

He suspects that to beat the Heat, what the Nets lack is a meat shield insider, someone like Kaman...

Collins averaged 32 minutes per game, 2.8 points and 6.5 rebounds. He couldn't do anything except fight against others.

He played for a short time, and the other insiders of the Nets couldn't stand up to O'Neal. He played for a long time, and the Nets had people who could let go on the offensive end, so they couldn't pull them away.

Because of Collins and Jefferson, Krstic, who can shoot high jumpers after the pick-and-roll and can dislocate the Heat's outside line, has shortened his playing time. He is the one with the best pick-and-roll effect on the Nets.

After returning to the locker room and taking a shower, Wang Jun got dressed and waited for the press conference.

His data in this series is very beautiful, and he has two rebounds in double figures. He must go to the interview.

Reporters must want to ask him, as an outsider, how he averaged 20.3 points, 14.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 9 games.

If he wins, he might joke, "Because my nickname is Real C."

Losing, he really couldn't laugh.

Seeing that Wang Jun's face was turning black, Lawrence came over to comfort him and said, "Wang, calm down. Although we lost, you are not without gains this season. The Most Improved Player Award is the best proof. No People can win all the time, if there is such a person, they should be pulled out and sliced."

Wang Jun sighed: "I know, but it's really hard to be eliminated."

Lawrence patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jordan didn't win until he was 28 years old. Kobe was just a substitute in the first two seasons. They both established dynasties later. You just entered the league and won a championship ring. You can average more than 25 points per game every season, and your name will definitely be in the Hall of Fame in the future. Your starting point is very high, and I am optimistic about you."

"Well, thank you."

After a few minutes, Carter, Jefferson, and Kidd all came out of the shower, and the five of them went to the press conference together. (To be continued.)
