Chapter 1977 Milestone Turns Into Tragic Milestone Again
On the morning of June 6th, Boston…
Tonight, the Eastern Conference will usher in a crucial showdown. The Celtics will face the Heat at home in G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which will begin at the North Shore Garden Arena on time at 7 o'clock that night.
At this time, in a training hall in the North Shore Garden, the Heat players were making final preparations for the evening game. Inside the venue, Chalmers, a heartless guy, was holding the ball and laughing and playing with his teammates. Noisy, Wade was chatting with Bosh, and there were exaggerated laughter from time to time. The overall atmosphere seemed very relaxed.
James, on the sidelines, was shirtless and wearing bandages. Although the outside world said that he was a physical monster that had not been seen in a century, his family knew his own affairs and without good maintenance, he would not be able to do this. It is widely rumored that he has to undergo physical changes every year. Spending millions of dollars on maintenance is obviously not unfounded. On the contrary, it is a relatively conservative figure. For example, in this shortened season, James is more cautious and never compromises on maintenance before and after each game to extend his career. In terms of performance, James is much better than Wade and Bosh.
No, the last fight was too intense and my elbow felt a little uncomfortable, so a bandage was arranged.
However, the bandage could not seal James. On the contrary, James was very excited at this time, and the record came first. Although he always said when facing reporters that he did not care about records, only about victory, anyone with a normal mind would know it. , these words are all said to outsiders.
This is the NBA, not a Saints training camp. Victory is important, but records are equally important to a player, especially a player who aspires to become the number one player in history.
Looking through the resumes of the top fifty stars in history, which one does not have a few awesome records, let alone the top ten or even the top five monsters in history? They are basically record harvesters who want to be the TOP in people's mouth. , in addition to hard honors, various records are also indispensable.
Think about the fact that the King of the Ring holds 11 championship rings, which are too big to wear on both hands, but he still cannot become the TOP in the hearts of fans, and is even repeatedly suppressed by his contemporary Chamberlain. In the final analysis, it is not because Chamberlain is a statistic. And the record-breaking maniac, 100 points in a single game, 50+ points per game in the season, etc. Are the records too dazzling?
If Russell had won so many championships while also taking into account statistics, then there might really be nothing left for him to do.
So James naturally attaches great importance to the next game. He is the youngest player in history to score 3,000 points in the playoffs. This honor is neither big nor small, but he surpassed Kobe, so the symbolic meaning is even greater. This game is for James. is even more significant.
In addition, as discussed by the outside world, the pursuers behind James are too crazy. It took him 9 seasons to get close to 3,000 points, while Ji Feng only needed less than 5 seasons to get close. It simply refreshed his world view. Looking at Ji Feng's data, James felt that his work all these years had been in vain.
So he always had a sense of urgency.
"You have to hurry, or it's all gone!" James patted the bandage, cheered up, and walked onto the court.
Tonight, he will definitely have his cake and eat it too!
Spoelstra is also very relaxed. He has formulated very good tactics. He believes that being beaten in the last game was just an accident. It will not happen again now. In addition, James will definitely be ALL IN tonight, so his There is an extra layer of security in my heart.
"Perhaps, we can have a drink tonight." Spoelstra thought easily, as long as these games are leading 3-1, the situation is great, a drink is not too much.
Not too much, of course not too much, but the premise is that you have to win the game first!
The Green Army is next door, and they are so tough that they are not willing to surrender. Although there were many French natives in Boston in the past, this tradition of surrender has not been preserved.
time flies.
Oklahoma's Ji Feng grabbed a soda and summoned his teammates to his suite to watch the game.
On the court, the two sides also opened up their positions, and with the referee's whistle, G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off.
After the game started, James scored first, and his shot opened the scoring for the team. This is understandable. After all, the record is about to be broken. No matter what, let's get the record first.
As a result, after James scored 4 points in a row, the direction of the wind changed...
The Celtics generals playing at home were very excited. After James got the points, they suddenly began to rush desperately to the Heat basket. The Bosh people were dumbfounded. Is this a toilet? Anyone can rush to it if they want. But Bosh really had nothing to do with them. The Boston Celtics fired from inside and outside in 6 minutes, making a perfect start with a 21-6.
Apart from James, the only two points came from random shots from good brother Chalmers.
James: "..."
Heat generals: "..."
Si Bo: "..."
James was dumbfounded. He really wanted to yell at both sides: Are you fucking joining forces to play me?
At the critical moment, Battier stepped forward and hit a three-pointer from the outside to help the Heat break their scoring drought.
Wade threw up the towel off the court...
Thanks to Battier, James was freed from Pierce's defense. At 2 minutes and 28 seconds, James dunked successfully. With this goal, the Emperor's career playoff score exceeded the 3,000-point mark, surpassing Kobe Bryant and becoming the NBA's leading scorer. The youngest player in history to break the 3,000-point mark.
The record was obtained, and the excited James A went up. The Heat launched a 10-4 spurt, chasing the score to 19-25.
After Bosh was replaced inside, Buss played extremely tough against Miller next door. He took off the rebound and forced a layup, causing Miller to foul and make extra free throws. In the last minute, James scored three consecutive goals to help the Heat tighten up. Biting the score, after the first quarter, the Heat trailed 23-34.
James scored 18 points in this quarter, which can be said to be very outstanding.
Just when people thought Lao Zhan would become the key to this game, he unexpectedly shriveled up in the second quarter. In the second quarter, Jones came up and hit a three-pointer from the outside, but this did not inspire the fighting spirit of his teammates.
The Celtics became more courageous as they fought. Ray Allen and Dulin jointly scored three three-pointers. After a 13-4 offensive, the Green Army rewritten the score to 47-30.
At the critical moment, Wade stood up and made a beautiful layup to help the Heat stabilize their morale. But then Garnett responded with a 2+1.
Rondo then passed the ball to Pierce, who not only put the ball into the basket but also caused Chalmers to foul and hit the extra free throw.
The show is not over yet. At 2 minutes and 38 seconds, Pierce hit another three-pointer on Wade. The Celtics instantly expanded their lead to 18 points. Although James then scored 2+1, at halftime, the Heat led by 47 -61 behind.
The turning point came in the third quarter. After Rondo came up, the referee made no comment. The angry Rondo kicked Battier and was called a technical foul. In the next 2 minutes, Rondo received three consecutive fouls. In the third quarter, Rondo only After playing 4 minutes, he was forced to leave the game after committing 4 fouls. Such a dense number of fouls made it difficult not to believe that the referee had taken action again.
But this did not save the Heat. After the third quarter, the two sides played 73-68. The Heat were about to come back. At the end of the last quarter, the two sides actually entered overtime again. At the beginning of the overtime, Pierce once again left the game with 6 fouls. , Rondo did not dare to move with 5 fouls on his back, and the Heat were in a great situation. However, later, James missed a shot at a critical moment. He was so angry that he intentionally fouled, and he was ejected for 6 fouls...
In the end, Wade missed a buzzer beater and the Heat lost to the Celtics 91-93.
2-2, both sides enter Tianwang Mountain!
