Chapter 372

The game is still continuing.

Both sides maintained ultra-high-intensity confrontation.

James, Wade, and Bosh, the three, have to be called hardworking; even with the high-efficiency state turned on throughout, they were still pinned to the ground by the Clippers.

This is the presentation of real strength.

The Clippers are just stronger than the Heat.

Fan Xi plus Nowitzki, on the offensive end, is just stronger than the Big Three; a breakthrough guard, a pick-and-roll organization master-level point guard, a top-tier basketball IQ leader, plus an all-around offensive, and explosive combat power league current number one offensive power forward.

Miami cannot stop it.

This is an advantage in the underlying architecture.

No matter how well James and Wade perform, they are both ball handlers, and there will always be consumption in their compatibility, this is beyond doubt.

Although the league's pace is getting faster and faster, and the formation is getting wider and wider, the super-strong combination of inside and outside is always the most reasonable architecture.

Historically, only the Bulls dynasty won the championship without the blessing of a top-tier inside, but they still had a group of elite insides like Rodman, Longley, and Grant. Moreover, Phil Jackson perfectly solved the compatibility problem between Jordan and Pippen; in fact, there was no compatibility between them from the beginning, because Pippen started working under Jordan when he debuted, and he was in Jordan's shape from head to toe. No wonder he is called the strongest second-in-command in history.

The Heat are lacking a lot in this regard; their coaching staff didn't really solve the compatibility of Wade and James, and they were both absolute ball-handling cores of their respective teams before; although Wade sacrificed part of the ball rights, it was not a compromise. Plus Chris Bosh was weakened severely in this system; he himself is also a ball-handling offensive forward, but now he is more of a jump shooter beside James and Wade, and sometimes he has to go to the paint to act as a laborer.

The third quarter ended.

The Clippers led by 5 points at 72:67.

Kobe's prophecy is generating powerful kinetic energy, as if it were a judgment of fate.

The Miami Big Three are definitely not people who give up easily; they have no way out, and falling in the Finals for two consecutive years will definitely become the biggest shame of their careers. What's more, this is still losing to the same person.

"The Miami Heat sacrificed too much to form the Big Three; their lineup is not well matched. If I were Miami, I would trade Wade; if I could exchange for the Los Angeles Clippers' Hamilton, Leonard, and Kwame Brown, their championship probability would be greater."

Garnett said on TV.

This is a trade that sounds reasonable.

It's just... it will never happen.

The Heat cannot trade their team soul, and the Clippers will not break up the existing lineup.

And if this sentence were said to Fan Xi, Fan Xi would think it is a fantasy. In Fan Xi's heart, Leonard's value is much higher than Wade's, although Wade is still a superstar strength, top of the league.

However, Wade's age is the oldest among the Miami Big Three after all, and no one knows how many years of prime he still has.

The Clippers are not the kind of team without a championship window; they have already entered the Finals now, why release the future to compete for a superstar and take a gamble?

You know, Leonard is a future superstar in Fan Xi's heart, an offensive and defensive integrated superstar.

Nowitzki received widespread praise from everyone on the bench; he played too fiercely in the last period of the third quarter, not only continuing to play on the offensive end, but also looking impressive on defense.

Vince Carter even teased him: "Dirk, you are going to snatch the Finals MVP. However, is it a bit too late to exert force?"

Nowitzki smiled shyly.

The atmosphere of the Clippers is very good.

Although Vince Carter joked like this, even Nowitzki himself knows that as long as the Clippers win the championship, Fan Xi's Finals MVP this year can be said to be as stable as an old dog, and it is impossible for anyone to shake it.

You know, in the last two games, Fan Xi's data and court performance were both at a top historical level, and his performance in this game was also extremely eye-catching, and the data was impeccable.

Nowitzki was troubled by fouls in the second game, and he had no possibility of getting the Finals MVP.

This year's situation is completely different from last year; Fan Xi's Finals MVP last year could be said to be somewhat tainted by "Conan elements"; the person with the most opportunity to get the Finals MVP, Kobe, was injured, and then another competitor, Pau Gasol, was injured one after another, and finally, even Bynum sat on the bench.

This series of injuries created the biggest miracle in the history of the Finals: an undrafted rookie Finals MVP, and also the youngest Finals MVP in history.

If Kobe hadn't been injured last season, Gasol hadn't been injured, and Bynum hadn't been injured, the Lakers would likely have swept the Heat 4-0. Kobe would also have naturally raised his third Finals MVP trophy of his career. But history has no ifs.

James still wants to push it over and start over.

Beep!

The fourth quarter game started quickly.

The Heat launched a fierce attack, and James was holding the basketball and charging like a dynamite pack.

He is a smart person; in the past, he always calculated pros and cons, but now he knows that all calculations are meaningless, and he can only charge regardless of everything.

This game forced out the James with the strongest willpower in history.

James is known as the strongest talent in the league's history, and it is not an empty name; although those labels attached to his head have some exaggerated components, when he really takes out the posture of venturing into a dragon's pool and tiger's den, the Clippers' defensive line is relaxed.

Leonard is not an iron man.

Xiao Qiaodan's pressure in the paint is also very high.

But the Clippers still maintained the lead, and there is a trend of expanding the score.

The answer is very simple.

Nowitzki is continuing to exert force.

He hit two three-pointers in a row, unreasonable three-pointers.

He also shattered the Miami defensive line, using another way.

He shot crazy tonight.

He created an excellent breakthrough environment for Fan Xi, and of course, Fan Xi's breakthrough aggressiveness also fed back to Nowitzki.

This is a wonderful partner combination.

Garnett even sighed: "If they had partnered five years ago, I dare to guarantee that the Clippers would have won five consecutive championships."

Fan Xi plus Nowitzki, infinite power.

Tonight is an ultimate version of existence; they exerted all their strength, and even super-strong performance.

The Miami Big Three can't stop it, which is normal.

The game started to drive violently in the direction Miami least wanted to see; the cheers at Staples Center became more and more intense, and everyone was looking forward to a surging victory coming head-on.

Miami's fighting spirit is crumbling; although Wade and James are still full of fighting spirit, some of their role players have already had their willpower disintegrated.

When there were 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, as Nowitzki hit another lawless three-pointer outside the three-point line.

The point difference expanded to 11 points.

Beep!

The Heat had to request a timeout.

They need to slow down.

Their fighting temperament is also weakening; if they fight to the death and still can't win a game, then after trailing 0:3, they will collapse into a plate of loose sand, and the fourth game will just be fish on the chopping block.

"It's time, brothers. If we don't pick up sharp weapons, shame will descend on our heads. Believe in us, we will complete great achievements; crisis is often a ladder to the sky!"

James is shouting confidently.

His voice is very loud.

Even the TV audience heard it clearly.

Many viewers in front of the TV are very willing to call it the "King's Speech".

Because his nickname is Little King.

Although he has been in the league for almost 10 years, from a rookie to a middle-generation, the Chosen One is still called the Little King.

Why? Age is one aspect, and on the other hand, there is no championship; without a championship, it is equivalent to not ascending the throne; without ascending the throne, can you be considered a formal king?

On the contrary, this little duke born in a poor family on the Clippers side won the championship in the purple and gold army in the first season, achieving imperial hegemony. Now in the second season, he is sitting firmly in the country, leading the team to a vertical and horizontal assault, and in the blink of an eye, he has established an absolute advantage in the Finals.

He is about to ascend the throne again.

And according to this trend, James, the designated Little King, may have to be the crown prince for his entire career. Of course, he can also say that he is the King of the East; at least he is the player who has entered the Eastern Conference Finals the most among active players.

Sealing a king side-by-side is still possible.

"Dirk, why don't you take a break first?"

Fan Xi said to the panting Nowitzki on the bench.

Nowitzki is crazily releasing energy on both offensive and defensive ends, and his physical fitness can't keep up.

However, Nowitzki shook his head. He said: "I must take them down in one go, otherwise I will be unwilling to sit on the court."

He said this, and it makes sense.

Fan Xi nodded and agreed.
