Chapter 374

The Miami Heat were a bit hesitant; there was less than two minutes left in the game, the point difference had expanded to 12 points, and the Clippers' home court momentum reached an unprecedented peak.

Nowitzki just created the single-game scoring record in Finals history, and his touch was as hot as a fireball.

Some Heat players already had the intention to retreat. Because they had been tense for the whole game, their spirit had been in a state of high excitement, and they had already tried their best, even playing 120% of their power, but still couldn't crush the Clippers.

This made their rising pressure start to collapse, and the sense of frustration was also inevitably presented from their mental outlook.

So, even though Wade and James were still full of fighting spirit, other players inevitably hesitated. Including Chris Bosh and Spoelstra.

At this time, James said a sentence: "If we give up now, our efforts for the whole season will be cut off here. Only those who believe in miracles can create miracles."

This is Fan Xi's words, but James reached the same state of mind at this time.

He is a king kicked to the edge of a cliff; he must fight for his life.

Under James's call, their morale was somewhat restored.

And the whistle blew, and the game continued.

What people didn't expect was that Nowitzki didn't go on court again; he didn't seem to want to increase the Finals history single-quarter scoring record anymore.

The person who replaced Nowitzki was not someone else, but Yao Ming.

This was unexpected.

Yao Ming, Xiao Qiaodan, Leonard, Vince Carter, Fan Xi.

Yao Ming took the initiative to ask to go on court; although he consumed a lot of physical strength in the third quarter, he didn't seem to have the strength to go on court.

However, he was very firm; he said: "I don't want to leave regrets for my career; I must do something for the team. I must also let the world know that my championship ring was not obtained easily by sitting on the bench. The team needs me now, more than ever."

"I am ready to retire again."

Yao said sonorously and forcefully.

Miyamoto Musashi said that no one can stop a warrior's determination to die.

Behind Yao Ming was clearly the determination of the wind blowing, the water cold, and the Yi River cold.

Beep!

Miami restarted the ball.

They launched a quick offensive; James didn't wait for the consumption of time; he dribbled the ball and quickly broke through the center line; he jumped directly to shoot from one meter away from the three-point line... Swish!

Three-pointer hit.

The point difference narrowed to 9 points, and there was 1 minute and 40 seconds left before the end of the game.

Theoretically speaking, the Heat still have plenty of opportunities.

The Heat adopted a full-court press posture, but Fan Xi's ball handling was more stable than they imagined.

Moreover, Fan Xi was controlling the rhythm.

Time seemed to accelerate under his ball-handling movement.

Fan Xi accelerated when time was consumed to 15 seconds; Yao Ming stepped up to the high post to screen for Fan Xi; Yao's screen quality was much higher than Nowitzki's; Fan Xi directly assaulted the paint.

He gritted his teeth, although Marcus Camby kept propping him with his elbows, making him uncomfortable and unable to fully accelerate.

However, screw it.

At the moment Fan Xi killed into the paint, he completely ignored Marcus Camby's raised elbows; he jumped up straight and smashed the basketball towards the basket... Chris Bosh hurriedly helped defend from the side, intending to block.

But Fan Xi directly bent his blocking arm in the air, Boom! He smashed the basketball into the basket from the front.

When narrow roads meet, the brave wins.

As long as you know where to go, the whole world will make way for you.

Chris Bosh was weak; he didn't exert his full strength, he had reservations, so he was directly dunked away.

Fan Xi hung on the basket and looked down at him.

Subsequently, he descended gracefully amidst the cheers of the whole stadium.

There were 1 minute and 19 seconds left in the game.

The Clippers expanded the score to 10 points again.

"Full-court press!"

Fan Xi shouted, and he flew towards Dwyane Wade.

Under his pressure, Wade couldn't break through quickly and passed the ball to James again; Leonard had already entangled him, and James couldn't complete the offensive quickly, so he passed to Shane Battier again; Battier hit the ball to Chris Bosh under Vince Carter's defense.

Bosh turned and shot... Swish!

Beep!

Hit.

And gave Xiao Qiaodan a foul.

This judgment is very controversial, and it will directly affect the trend of the game.

Boos all over the home court.

The referees were still taking care of the Big Three, even on the Clippers' home court.

Too much capital has been bet on James, and too much basketball capital hopes James wins the championship.

"No matter if you make the free throw or not, you are doomed to lose."

Fan Xi said coldly to Chris Bosh.

He was exerting huge psychological pressure on Bosh.

But at this time, Wade suddenly shouted: "Brothers, we are doomed to win. Nowitzki is injured! He can't go on court!"

He shouted loudly.

The Clippers players were indeed shocked.

Wade immediately showed a cunning smile. "I guessed right."

Just now, Wade passed the Clippers' bench and found that the Clippers' staff were handing Nowitzki an ice pack, and Nowitzki's expression also showed a dimension of pain.

So, Wade simply bluffed the Clippers players.

Seeing this reaction from the Clippers players, he felt like he had eaten a reassurance pill.

At the same time, James walked to the free-throw line and said to Chris Bosh: "You can miss the free throw; we will definitely grab the rebound."

Bosh nodded.

Then... Bang!

His shot hit the front rim directly, but the basketball didn't bounce back as he expected, but bounced upward.

James took the opportunity to kill into the paint; he imagined dunking the basketball into the basket like Jordan's classic dunk.

But just as he jumped up, a huge figure suddenly blocked in front of him and jumped up; although his jump amplitude was not high, his hands tightly grabbed the basketball.

Even if James bumped into him, he didn't move at all.

It is the little giant, the Great Wall of China, Yao Ming.

"Catch it well, Fan Xi!"

Yao Ming shouted in Chinese and quickly threw the basketball to the frontcourt; Fan Xi sprinted over, he grabbed the basketball, and according to the predetermined plan, he shook off the defense outside the three-point line, then jumped up and shot... Swish!

Three-pointer!

Fan Xi didn't continue to consume time, but hit a three-pointer.

The point difference continued to expand to 11 points.

There was 1 minute and 01 second left in the game.

"You can't take away the victory. Dwyane, your psychological tactics have no effect on me."

Fan Xi turned back, he followed Wade's pace closely, and he gave Wade all-around defense.

Wade sneered and said: "Jack, you can't bluff me. You are doomed to lose. Our series is finished."
