Chapter 375

Wade's words were chilling, but the Heat's momentum was rising higher and higher.

Nowitzki's "suspected injury" brought them great courage; they were like a group of ugly hyenas; when the lion was majestic, they fled timidly, and when the lion was injured and the smell of blood permeated their noses, they would crazily swarm up.

However, Fan Xi stood firmly in front of them; there was 1 minute left in the game, and Fan Xi would not let these people roll away the victory.

Fan Xi stared at Wade's pace, but the basketball was passed directly to James.

James rushed crazily; he quickly arrived at the frontcourt three-point line; Leonard entangled him, but he didn't care, jumped directly to shoot, Leonard blocked over... Beep!

The whistle blew.

Leonard fouled.

Bang!

James's shot missed the basket.

But he got three free-throw opportunities.

Leonard raised his hands high; he was very puzzled.

He didn't know where he fouled.

Slow motion showed that his long arms didn't touch James, but... if you are serious, it did slightly infringe on James's shooting cylinder.

However, for any referee, at this time, it is almost impossible to blow the whistle.

What's more, this is Staples Center.

The boos from the home court came like a tide.

James walked to the free-throw line calmly.

He knew that with the right time, place, and people, he was now standing at the intersection of creating a miracle; one step forward, and he would be successful.

Swish!

James hit the first free throw.

Swish!

The second one also hit steadily.

This is a very rare situation for James; his free-throw shooting percentage is not high among top scorers.

Soon, he aimed at the basket and shot the third free throw.

Bang!

He did it on purpose; he hit the front rim; the moment he shot, Wade quickly galloped into the paint from the left side of the three-point line, but at the same time, Fan Xi also galloped in from the right.

The two were like having a novel sprint race.

Two people who are good at speed faced off.

James had a good plan.

Wade's sprint was arranged by him, but Wade was not the person who competed for the rebound in the plan; he hoped Wade would kill in and stir up the water.

If he could touch the basketball and dial it out, that would be best; if he couldn't, he would block Xiao Qiaodan.

However, he ignored a fact.

That is, when Fan Xi entered the paint, Fan Xi didn't jump to compete, but he quickly propped up Marcus Camby's lower body.

Camby couldn't jump up.

Yao Ming easily collected the rebound.

Using his own way to treat him.

Fan Xi's move was far more brilliant than James's.

Yao Ming got the rebound and raised it high.

At this time, there were 55 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Clippers led by 9 points.

The basketball was subsequently handed to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi slowly advanced with the ball; Wade had been harassing him; he didn't want to grab the rebound, he wanted to interfere with Fan Xi's ball-handling process, he wanted Fan Xi to accelerate.

However, Fan Xi consumed time very steadily.

He wandered outside the three-point line.

Wade sprayed trash talk in his ear: "If you can't make this ball, the victory will be taken away by us. There will be no doubt. We won't make the mistakes of last year; Nowitzki is not here, you have no qualification to compete with us at all."

He wanted to force Fan Xi to shoot.

He determined that Fan Xi couldn't do anything under his high-intensity defense.

Fan Xi ignored him.

Fan Xi launched an assault when there were 9 seconds left in the offensive time; it was still Yao Ming stepping up to screen; Fan Xi passed Yao Ming's body rapidly and rushed to the paint.

Wade was forced to switch defense to Yao Ming's side; the tracking defense was Marcus Camby.

At the same time, James was also preparing to double-team in the paint.

But just then, Fan Xi suddenly retreated.

Camby hurriedly followed out, James took action, but Fan Xi stealthily made a hand-raising motion, James immediately didn't move; as long as he defended out, Fan Xi would definitely pass the ball.

So, he watched Fan Xi retreat to the three-point line quickly.

Just as Wade was about to switch defense, Fan Xi made a shooting motion, and Marcus Camby jumped up instantly.

And when Camby jumped up, Fan Xi didn't leave the ground.

After he stretched out in the air, Fan Xi bumped into him head-on and shot the basketball... This is a classic foul-drawing.

Fan Xi shot almost under Camby's shroud, and after the shot, the two bodies bumped together.

However... the head referee didn't blow the whistle.

The league is too biased towards the Heat.

Even Kevin Garnett was patting the table at this moment.

Staples Center was full of surprise, but subsequently... Swish!

The basketball pierced the net.

Heaven does not fail those who work hard!

The basketball shot through the net.

When there were 32 seconds left in the game, the Clippers expanded the point difference to 12 points.

Staples Center erupted with the biggest cheers since this game.

This is an explosion after extreme suppression.

After Fan Xi scored, he swept the referee group coldly.

He was very disappointed.

Subsequently, he looked at Wade: "This is all you have. Playing the Finals against a Big Three like you is really shameful!"

Fan Xi looked disdainful, and the sarcasm and contempt were so strong that people couldn't look directly at his expression.

Dwyane Wade was very calm; he had been in the league for many years; he knew that these cheap senses of justice were useless; in the adult world, where is there any absolute fairness and justice.

These things could not have an impact on Flash.

And LeBron James had already launched a sharp offensive; they still insisted on completing this 12-point comeback in 32 seconds.

James continued to rush to the frontcourt; this time he was still a quick stop-and-go jump shot.

The head referee's whistle forced Leonard not to dare to press defense; he got an easy shooting opportunity, but... Bang!

The basket rejected him.

Yao, who is not known for rebounding in his entire career, took the defensive rebound again, and the Heat players ran over to foul.

Yao Ming will go to the free-throw line.

This is the great significance of Yao going on court at this time.

If Xiao Qiaodan took this rebound and let him go to the free-throw line, it would be a severe test for the Clippers. In fact, the Heat had already planned to take action against Xiao Qiaodan.

The Hack-a-Shaq tactic is disgusting, but it is very effective.

Swish!

Swish!

Yao Ming hit the free throws in a row, two of two.

The point difference expanded to 14 points, and the Heat's offensive time was only 26 seconds left.

This time it was Wade running wildly, and Fan Xi chased after him.

The two were like desperadoes galloping in the sunset, both carrying strong will; this is a life-and-death competition.

Wade believed he had the opportunity to complete this miraculous comeback.

So he rushed to a place two meters away from the three-point line and stopped suddenly, then he jumped directly to shoot.

However, at the moment he forcibly shot, Fan Xi jumped up violently; his explosiveness and jumping ability were top-tier in the league, and his arm span was super long... Pop!

Fan Xi made a sharp dunk, actually directly slapping Wade's shot basketball onto the floor.

The whole stadium was in an uproar.

Subsequently, it was a tide of cheers.

Wade was caught off guard, and the head referee didn't even have time to blow the whistle.

And Fan Xi had already descended quickly, and rushed to the frontcourt as agilely and sharply as a lynx; he grabbed the basketball and ran wildly all the way; James helped defend, Fan Xi made an exaggerated change of direction and connected with a back spin to pass him to the ground.

Subsequently, Fan Xi killed into the paint and ended this offensive with a dunk.

There were 17 seconds left.

The Clippers led by 16 points.

Beep!

Spoelstra requested a timeout.

He gave up.

There is always someone who has to stand up and announce surrender; this person must be the head coach.

He couldn't let his superstars bow their heads, so this pot could only be carried by him.

He knew better than anyone that the miracle would not come. The 16-point difference would not be caught up in 17 seconds.

Rather than consuming it like this, it is better to end it decently.

Wade seemed to know that after this timeout, he would not return to the court. So, he specifically walked to Fan Xi and asked Fan Xi: "Have you ever seen the miracle of trailing 0:3 in the Finals and winning four games in a row?"

"You will see it soon."

Wade looked arrogant, even a bit haughty.

People who didn't know would think they were the winners of this game, not the Clippers.

Fan Xi looked at him coldly and said to him: "Dwyane, I can kill you once, and I can kill you twice."

"Then wait and see!" Wade didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the bench.

The Heat replaced the main lineup, and Fan Xi also returned to the bench to sit down.

The last 17 seconds were plain, and neither side scored.

As the whistle for the end of the game blew, streamers filled the sky at Staples, celebrating the third victory of the Finals.

The Clippers got the match point, and their championship dream was within reach.

Only one step away.

Everyone thinks this will be a matter of course, because the partnership between Fan Xi and Nowitzki is too fierce.

"I think this year's Clippers are stronger than last year's Lakers." Garnett summarized on TV: "The partnership between Jack Fan and Nowitzki is too perfect; they are like an enhanced version of the Utah duo. The Miami Big Three might be able to win a game in the upcoming games, but they will never be able to bring the game back to Miami. I am responsible for this conclusion."

When Kevin Garnett said this.

Fan Xi and others were asking the team doctor about Nowitzki's situation on the bench; the team doctor's expression was very heavy; he was very sure of one thing: Nowitzki was not a simple sprain; his condition was very likely a ligament tear.

As the game ended, the team doctor also cut Nowitzki's shoes; from the instep to the ankle, it was already completely swollen, and the previous ice pack didn't have the effect of containment.

Deep sorrow surged in the hearts of the players.

Nowitzki's injury will bring inestimable losses to the Clippers; three victories in the Finals, except for the second game where Nowitzki was troubled by fouls, the first and third games were both taken through his and Fan Xi's pick-and-roll connection.

It can be said that he is the most important link in the current Clippers' tactics, and also one of the most important factors to extinguish the Heat.

If he can't play next, then... the Clippers need to find a tactical system again.

The Heat will not give the Clippers this opportunity.

Originally, the Clippers were short of soldiers and generals, plus changing the system... are they going to be counter-killed by others?

Pessimistic emotions permeated the Clippers' bench; there was no joy in winning the game and taking the match point.

At the same time, the ESPN camera finally captured Nowitzki's injured foot; when this scene was played on TV.

First, the studio was in an uproar, and then the audience in front of the TV was also stunned.

The originally excited fans were like being poured with a basin of cold water.

And the originally disappointed fans were immediately ignited with a raging fire.

"If Nowitzki's injury is serious and he cannot participate in subsequent games, then... the Miami Heat, who originally had no chance, immediately gained a certain advantage." When Kevin Garnett watched Nowitzki being supported by his teammates to... a forklift... the Clippers drove a flatbed truck directly in and transported Nowitzki out to avoid further injury.

"No! This is not a small advantage, but a huge advantage. No matter what, Miami has three superstars, and the Clippers only have one left; this wave of advantage is with the Heat." McBlin said very straightforwardly.

His position has always been inclined towards Miami.

"Although Nowitzki's injury is a regrettable thing, competitive games are sometimes so cruel. Six years ago, Nowitzki played the best performance of his career, but was reversed by the Heat in the Finals. That time it was a 2-0 reversal. This time, fate cycles, will it become a 3-0 reversal?"

McBlin talked eloquently.

At the same time, the scene of Fan Xi accepting an interview on the sidelines was transmitted to the TV.

"Jack, tonight you got a super data of 28 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks, and Nowitzki got a super data of 43 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal. Your pick-and-roll combination won a big victory, successfully got the match point, and in the first season as the team owner, you are about to lead the team to win the championship. How do you feel now?"

The reporter's question was very friendly.

But Fan Xi couldn't get excited; he raised his eyebrows: "I am very happy to see Dirk break the historical record in this game; he has always been the power forward with the strongest offense in my heart. However, you just saw it, Dirk is injured, and none of us know how his injury is. This is the reason why my mood is complicated."

Fan Xi said bluntly.
