Chapter 302 True Revenge

After the end of G4 of the finals, the public opinion was in an uproar. No one thought that the Heat, which was unanimously optimistic, would fall behind the Mavericks 1:3. This almost sentenced the Heat to death. There has never been a team in NBA history. 1 came back from behind.

詹姆斯全场11投3中，8分9篮板7助攻4失误，表现非常糟糕。

他在进攻端的隐身，让韦德20投13中高效砍下的32分，和波什19投9中砍下的24分都付之东流。

One step to heaven, one step to hell, 1:3 behind and 2:2 tie are completely different situations for the Heat, and James' performance of breaking through the lower limit has brought the Heat to the edge of the cliff, with half of their feet already hanging above the abyss.

The performance of James made it difficult for Heat fans to defend him. The moving picture of him backing Barea and returning without success quickly spread on the Internet. Cavaliers fans ridiculed him endlessly. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilber Tet even went into battle in person and sent a tweet saying, "Congratulations to the Mavericks for their victory. They deserve it. There is no shortcut to the championship."

In addition to Cavaliers fans, neutral fans have also begun to exert their strength. The formation of the Big Three has aroused too many people's resentment. When the Heat reached the finals all the way before, Heat fans were particularly active. Now they ushered in a backlash.

Under the tweet of the Big Three FMVP, messages surged:
"Repay the loan? I'm about to go home, and I'm leaving this FMVP behind!"

"That's right, bro, that's right, this year James is going to hand over to Wade the FMVP, deliberately not scoring, but Wade is not good enough, he only scored 32 points, let the Heat lose, it's all Wade's fault!"

"This is James! Respect! Tribute to greatness!"

For a while, James encountered overwhelming abuse and ridicule, and rumors of his discord with Wade also appeared in the newspapers. It seemed that the Heat were about to fall apart.

In such an atmosphere, on June 6, the fifth game of the finals was played at the American Airlines Center in Miami, in this arena with the same name as the home of the Mavericks.

This is a game held at the Heat's home court, but the Mavericks players seem to be in their own home court. The boos on the scene have no effect on them. These veterans shielded all outside interference and focused all their attention. Put it on top of the game in front of you.

As long as they win the next game, they will realize their long-cherished wish.

After four battles, the two teams already knew each other's tactics like the back of their hands. At the beginning of the match, the two teams had their eyes on each other, skipped the foreplay stage, and quickly entered the main topic, directly pulling up the intensity.

On the offensive end, the Mavericks still use high-position double screens and outside shots to create scoring opportunities, which can give full play to their shooting advantages. On the defensive end, the regular lineup implements zone defense and contraction, and a large number of defenses are changed when they are in the three-guard lineup.

However, Carlisle still made a change. He said that Barea should be put on the starting lineup, leading the Mavericks' pick-and-rolls, assaulting the Heat inside, allowing Kidd to save his energy and concentrate on dealing cards at the top of the arc.

On the offensive end, James holds the ball to organize the Heat. Wade runs without the ball and uses double screens to cut inside or outside to catch the ball. The Heat clear one side to create singles opportunities for him. Can attack face-up.

In short, Spoelstra still tries his best to maximize the attack power of the Big Three and use their personal abilities to support the Heat's offense.

The only thing that remains the same is Wade's dribbling and Haslem's air-cutting. This is the only memory of the 2006 championship Heat.

On the defensive end, the Heat reduced double-teaming. Unless Bogut participated in the screen, it was basically a delay. Spoelstra was very afraid of the Mavericks' crazy shooters and didn't want to give them open shots.

But this gave Barea room to perform. The Puerto Rican has a big heart that is fearless. As long as he gets an open space with the help of a screen, he will not hesitate at all. Pulling it up is a three-pointer. When he is tight, he uses his speed and agility to attack the Heat inside and pass assists to his teammates.

While Kidd stayed on the outside to deal cards, Nowitzki was also arranged by Carlisle on the weak side to open up space. For a while, Barea's presence on the court even overshadowed Nowitzki and Kidd. The ball wolf rushed forward, although he didn't score many points, he tore open the Heat's defense with speed and created many opportunities for his teammates.

The Mavericks' transition lineup also continued the same style of play. Terry shined brightly on the stage of the finals. This super sixth man seemed to have suddenly sublimated in this year's playoffs, becoming Dirk Nowitzki. The most reliable scorer around.

He even assumed the role of point guard in the transition period, organized the Mavericks' offense in an orderly manner, and had a very high success rate of finishing after breaking through with the ball. Although he did not have the name of a giant, he played the reality of a giant.

The Mavericks played a supporting role, and the Heat could only rely on the Big Three. Wade and Bosh were as efficient as ever, and James finally recovered a bit. The hit rate was in the early [-]s, but he finally dared to attack.

It was the three giants working together that the Heat were able to beat the Mavericks in the first three quarters, leading the opponent by 85 points with 80:5.

But as if it was fate, after the fourth quarter of the game, the situation changed suddenly.

In the last 4 minutes, Carlisle made adjustments on the defensive end, and then used a strange move to let Marion defend Wade and Kidd defend James.

The Heat attacked, but James still failed to break through Kidd's defense. He made a three-pointer and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Bogut protected the backcourt rebound, and the round was converted. Nowitzki made a single foul on Bosh and made two free throws.

97:99, the Mavericks trailed by 2 points.

Looking back, Bosh fought back, causing Dirk Nowitzki to foul and hit one of two free throws.

At 97:100, the Heat lead by three points.

The Mavericks attack, Terry holds the ball at the top of the arc, Nowitzki and Bogut set up double screens for him in the high post, Terry throws off Wade who is chasing him, and throws a super ball one step away from the three-point line. Far three points!
brush!
100:100, the score was evened.

Spoelstra did not call a timeout. He learned the lesson of the last moment of G4 and kept the timeout until the most critical time.

The Heat attacked, and James held the ball and hit Kidd with his back. He returned without success again, missed a fadeaway jumper, and the rebound fell into the hands of Kidd who turned around and shrunk to the basket.

Looking back, Nowitzki singled Bosh with his back, feinted a shot, turned around and walked the bottom line to break through to the Heat's restricted area and dunked successfully.

102:100, the Mavericks lead by two points.

When the Heat fans in the American Airlines Center saw this familiar scene, they all had bad premonitions in their hearts, their faces became ugly, and the voice of shouting "defence" became much weaker.

But the game was still going on, the Heat attacked, and James still held the ball. He wanted to break through Kidd's defense. Kidd cleverly forced James to go to the sideline.

Fortunately, the Mavericks' subsequent offense missed, and the Heat got a chance to equalize and even overtake the score, but James stood up again. He made a three-pointer at the top of the arc, the basketball bounced out of the basket, and the rebound was caught by Nowitzki. Protect down.

Round transition, after Terry and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, broke through to the inside of the Heat, compressed the Heat's defensive formation, and then passed back to Kidd at a 45-degree angle on the left, the latter raised a knife and hit a three-pointer .

105:100, the Mavericks lead by 5 points.

"Di-"

The Heat called a timeout, and Spoelstra had to make adjustments.

The noise in the arena suddenly decreased, and many Heat fans stared blankly at the Mavericks players celebrating wantonly on the field, and then looked up at the scores of the two teams on the big screen in midair, and 56 seconds left. My heart is dead.

And Cuban, who was sitting next to the Mavericks bench watching the game, jumped up, clapped his hands vigorously, laughed and walked towards his players.

In a VIP box with the best location, David Stern was watching the situation in the field intently.

As the chairman of the league, David Stern needs to present the championship trophy to the championship team on the spot. As long as there is a match point, he must go to the scene to watch every game.

In fact, the Mavericks' championship hats and T-shirts have already been prepared in advance. As long as they win this game, they can be crowned at the Heat's home court.

"It seems that the Mavericks are going to win." David Stern sighed softly.

Beside him, a tall and thin bald-headed middle-aged man with elegant demeanor and gold-rimmed glasses hesitated and said:

"David, in fact, we could have made the series a little more suspenseful, which is more in the interest of the league..."

David Stern glanced at him, turned his head and continued to look forward, without speaking, the voice of the bald middle-aged man gradually lowered until it disappeared.

After a while, David Stern spoke slowly:

"Adam, I understand your thoughts, even I once had the same thoughts as you... The NBA is indeed a business league, but it is also a sports league. We must find a balance between business and competition. They Both are indispensable. The NBA is now at that balance point. The existing home court advantage is already big enough. We should no longer interfere with the operation of the game because of certain off-court factors. This is in the best interest of the league. do you understand?"

The bald middle-aged man listened carefully to David Stern's words. After he finished speaking, the bald middle-aged man nodded slowly and said in a slightly respectful voice:

"Of course, I will continue to follow the path you set for the league."

David Stern chuckled:
"Adam, you will be the president of the league soon, and you don't need to be so respectful to an old man who is about to retire."

"No, you will always be the president of the NBA." The bald middle-aged man insisted.

He is the current vice president of the NBA, Adam Silver.

After saying this, he silently added another sentence in his heart:
"I will always remember your service to the NBA, but I will develop it better, in a way that is more in line with the interests of the league, a way that is more perfect!"

……

The timeout ends quickly and the game continues.

The Heat sent a sideline kick, James did not attack again, Wade broke through with the ball, but under the chasing and interception of the Mavericks, he failed to find a good opportunity, missed a jumper with an emergency stop, and the rebound was protected by Marion.

The Mavericks didn't rush to attack. Kidd pressed the time at the top of the arc, and with 10 seconds left, he gave it to Nowitzki who wanted the ball at the waist.

After Dirk Nowitzki received the ball, he hit Bosh with his back. The Heat didn't pinch. After Dirk Nowitzki shook, he hit a jumper with the iconic Golden Rooster independently.

At 107:100, the Mavericks' lead extended to 7 points with only 23 seconds left in the game.

The American Airlines Center fell into silence. Spoelstra did not call a timeout. After James took the serve from the baseline, he flew to the frontcourt and rushed into the interior. Carlisle deployed all his forces on the three-point line. People set up defenses, and James made an easy layup.

102: 107.

Subsequently, the Heat fouled Terry who received the ball. Terry stood on the free throw line and made two free throws.

109:102, with only 14 seconds left, the Mavericks killed the game!

Spoelstra still called a timeout, but this was just to convey to the outside world that the Heat will not give up the attitude of the finals. The Heat's situation has completely collapsed.

Back from the timeout, with Wade missing a quick three-pointer after receiving the ball, the Heat gave up the game.

最终，小牛以109:102战胜了热火，系列赛大比分4:1取胜，夺得2010-2011赛季总冠军奖杯！
The Mavericks players and some Mavericks fans who came from afar fell into madness. On the contrary, the disappointed Heat fans left the arena one after another, and there were large blank spaces in the auditorium in the arena.

On the sidelines, Cuban excitedly embraced the players, and the NBA's most fanatical boss finally got his wish.

His only regret is that the Mavericks won the championship in an away game without a blue ocean of fans, deafening cheers, and fireworks and ribbons flying all over the sky. This will definitely make the next championship awards ceremony less colorful.

But after Cuban thought about it, it is also a joy to be able to enjoy the joy of winning the championship in front of his old enemy.

In 2006, we lost the finals in this arena, and achieved the reputation of Wade Flash. Today, we won the championship here, and Dirk washed away his reputation as a softie in one fell swoop. This is the real revenge!

Thinking of this, Cuban cheered up, came to Nowitzki, laughed and said:

"Dirk, we won! From today on, no one can say that you are soft. You led the team to defeat the Big Three. You will definitely be the FMVP. You are the toughest player!"

Nowitzki nodded heavily, and there seemed to be a few sparkles in his eyes, and said in a relieved tone:

"Yeah, Mark, we won...we finally won!"

In the VIP box, David Stern watched the Mavericks falling into madness, got up slowly, fastened the buttons of his suit slowly, and said:

"Come on, Adam, it's time to present the Mavericks with the championship trophy."

Xiao Hua was fiddling with the mobile phone beside him, and hurriedly followed after hearing the words, tapping on the screen of the mobile phone with his fingers, and said:

"David, Billy Hunter sent me an email and the players union wants to restart negotiations."

David Stern's face darkened in an instant. Billy Hunter is the executive director of the players union. Prior to this, labor negotiations between the league and the players union had been going on and off for more than a year. On June 6 and June 7 , The two sides have just conducted negotiations for 6 hours and 8 hours, but they ended without a problem.

If the league and the players union still can't reach a consensus, the NBA will usher in a long lockout just like it did in 1999.

Under Xiao Hua's searching eyes, David Stern walked towards the door of the box without stopping, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice:
"After the championship trophy is awarded, I will contact him personally!"
