Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 260: The alliance doubles down again!
Butler was still too nervous. He exerted a little force just now, and he lost his breath when he didn't get his breath.

Heroes start at the beginning, and it's hard to imagine that Butler, who will be hailed as the toughest man in the league in the future, would lose his temper after being hit by someone, even though this person is his idol Wade...

Wu Di's eyes are not good. He has spent so much time leading Butler, but Butler's performance is always almost meaningless!
He lifted Butler up like a chick and shouted:

"Madfak, let's get started! Foul! What are you afraid of! Harden up! I said you can defend, and you can defend if you can't!"

I don't know whether it was pain or fright, but fine beads of sweat oozed from Butler's forehead, and he couldn't stop nodding.

In the next round, Wu Di stood up again, carried Haslem and James back and scored, widening the point difference to 5 points again!
But when it was time for the Heat to attack, Butler really became brutal this time, but Wade was unreasonable at all, he didn't even give him room to strike, he just turned to one side, rolled his body and rushed in!

However, Butler went all out this time. Seeing that the situation was not right, he directly grabbed Wade who was about to jump!
Whether to continue to bear Wu Di's roar, or smash his boyhood idol with his own hands, Butler has made a choice!

beep!
The referee's whistle sternly sounded, this action is very dangerous!
If it weren't for Butler holding Wade when he landed, he might have suffered a concussion!
But it was also Butler's protective action that was obvious, and the referee only called ordinary personal fouls.

Wade's face was livid!

Because of his trust in his junior who knew everything, he didn't distract himself from taking preventive measures against criminals just now, which allowed Butler to succeed!
"Don't eat the sour radish! Damn it! You've seriously crossed the line!"

Butler was indifferent to Wade's roar, but his eyes became more determined. There was no turning back when he opened the bow. He had already made a choice!

Wade made all free throws and the point difference returned to 3 points.

But in the next few rounds, Butler's behavior proved what it means to have the first time and there will be countless times.

The probability of him successfully defending Wade is not high, but it has really increased Wade's consumption a lot.

The point difference between the two sides began to alternate back and forth around 1 point to 4 points.

The third quarter was extremely long, and time seemed to stand still!
Scott was still spinning around on the sidelines, but endured and endured, but did not replace Butler.

Wade confirmed to the referee countless times, "That idiot should have committed six offenses long ago, right?"

The dramatic turning point occurred at the end of the third quarter.

Wade's thigh spasms caused by excessive consumption, and he was lifted down!
Mike Miller replaced Wade, the Cavaliers' defense stopped shrinking, Lao Zhan missed the iron, Wu Di grabbed the rebound, handed it to Irving to advance with the ball, and made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line!
Bang!
Also missed!

Owen played more than 30 minutes in this game, and his overall performance was still very good, but now his physical strength can no longer keep up.

Love grabbed the rebound, Wu Di rarely opened the back door and slipped to the bottom corner, catch the ball and shoot!

Boom!

Swish!
Amidst the cheers of the fans who were almost exhausted, the basketball smashed the board and pierced the net extremely thrillingly!
67-73!

The Cavaliers widened the gap slightly!

Fighting again in the fourth quarter, Haslem couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Battier.

For the Cavaliers, Love was replaced by Jamison, and Irving was replaced by Thomas Jr..

Still playing inside and then exhausting, the physical fitness of both sides is no longer, but the Cavaliers are better at rebounding, and the point difference begins to gradually widen.

In the 5th minute, with Thomas Jr. in&out connecting with small throws and scoring, the point difference finally widened to double digits!

And Wade also reappeared after being treated by a rehabilitator, but his speed was obviously half a beat slower, his bravery was no longer, and he was obviously still affected by cramps.

On the other side, Butler felt as if he had suddenly realized that he could defend his idol without fouling!

Fight more and more bravely!

Finally, the scale of victory was so crooked that it couldn't be more crooked, the final whistle sounded, and the score was fixed at 87-102!

Quicken Loans Arena is boiling!

不只是骑士终于赢了，还有吴迪34投21中，狂砍48分9篮板6助攻2抢断3盖帽，宣告半满状态的吴皇回归！

Why is it half full?
Because of the focus on Wu Di's three-pointer data, he only made 7 of 2 shots, which is obviously still affected by the national team incident.

Although this life-and-death battle was extremely difficult, they fought with vigor!
In fact, losing this game is a script that Cleveland people are familiar with. After all, they have not won a championship for more than 40 years, and they have never seen any bloody plot...

Far away, he was killed by Jordan "The Shot", and shortly, he was betrayed by the little emperor's national live broadcast...

They dare not have too many extravagant hopes!
But this time they are full of expectations again!

Because Wu Di can create miracles!
Even though the outside world is full of obscenities, they will stand firmly with Wu Di!
"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The voice of MVP resounded throughout the Quicken Loans Arena!

But James was unmoved, and just walked towards the player channel with a calm face.

虽然他今天只有18投9中，但却是拿下了23分11篮板10助攻1抢断2盖帽的三双数据！
James felt that he played very well, but the Jamies in the live broadcast room of the sports channel were furious:

"Spoelstra is too rubbish, Zhan Huang can lose a triple-double, what kind of spicy tactics!"

"Blowing the whistle this time is disgusting. Those Butlers are obviously criminals, but they don't blow the whistle, which makes people angry!"

"The script has been written a long time ago. In a game with such a large traffic, the league can't make it 0-3. It must sell a few more tickets and broadcast advertising fees!"

"Wade is also a hot chicken, he has cramps, but he was blocked by Butler in the end! Alas, James can't move..."

"That's right, why is it that Zhan Huang has so few calls? It's more than a dozen times less than Wu Di!"

"Let Wade take the shot, oh, I said it all, Wade can't go far as the core of the team, what did Spoelstra think..."

However, this was choked by Wade fans:

"Wade has 36 points, which is 13 points higher than your old Zhan, and this is still hot? How can you have any face?!"

"Is Lao Zhan's triple-double also boasted? Just now at the end of the fourth quarter, the main players of the Cavaliers are off the field, and Lao Zhan is still doing rebounds and assists there. How dare you mention the triple-double that he made like this?"

"Zhan Mi really doesn't deserve to win. If she loses, she will throw the blame away. The referee, coach and teammates have nothing to do with your Ah Tan!"

……

The Heat fans were fighting among themselves. On the other hand, the Clippers fans overwhelmingly accused Varejao of being blasted into scum by Duncan!

In the other game of the night, it was also a life-and-death battle under the background of 0-2 backwardness, but the Clippers failed to stop the boat from the cliff, leading the Clippers straight into the abyss with 96-86.

Paul's field control rhythm failed, and of course, more importantly, Varejao was blasted to pieces by Duncan.

Varejao's acting skills in the regular season are still very effective, but in the playoffs, no matter how good his acting skills are, he can't escape the eyes of the fans.

On May 5th, in the Cavaliers training hall, the players are undergoing targeted training.

On the sidelines, Scott observed the situation on the court with a worried face. Although the Cavaliers won the life-and-death battle and gained a temporary respite, the next few games will become more and more difficult.

The inside play is too exhausting, and their lineup won't last long.

There are seven women and eight men, and men generally reach their peak physical development and strongest muscles and bones at the age of 28.

Among the Heat's Big Three, James and Bosh are just 28 years old this year, at their peak and most energy-consuming age.

Only Wade is 30 years old, but he also has a huge advantage over Love and Jordan who are 24 years old, and Wu Di and Irving who are 20 years old.

Then consider a bunch of veterans over 35...

"If you want to win the series, you have to go back to the previous spatial style of play...just, alas!"

Scott sighed, the spatial style of play is the strength of the Cavaliers, but because of serious off-court factors, Wu Di's three-point shooting percentage has never returned!

The other shooters of the Cavaliers, like Love, Parker, Jamison, etc., are all fixed-point shooters. Wu Di's axis state is average, and they are easy to be targeted by the Heat.

Owen has the potential to become the next Wu Di.

But his performance in these few games proves that he is far from growing to the point where he can turn the tide at this level of competition...

Therefore, whether the Cavaliers series can open up the situation depends on whether Wu Di's state can be restored.

"Nike's operation is really deceiving!"

Scott spat furiously. Before this round of the series, he had expected that Nike or the league would mess with something, but he still underestimated the shamelessness of Nike.

Wu Di's mentality is considered to be very calm among young players, but no matter how stable he is, it is difficult to remain calm when encountering such a terrible thing.

In this regard, Scott empathizes. His playing year coincides with the reform of FIBA ​​rules, and professional players can participate in the Olympics for the first time.

At that time, all NBA players were proud to participate in the American national team, and just by listening to the name, they knew that the Dream Team was even more glamorous than the All-Stars.

And Wu Di has achieved such achievements overseas, but now something like this happened...

From the point of view of positive thinking, the more you are bullied, the more violent you should be to give the opponent a head-on blow. But this is basketball, a game of balance. If you are strong, you will hit the board. It is not much different from the three non-stick...

I really can't think about it, I get angry when I think about it!

And this is a matter of the Huaxia Hands Control Center. Most of the players in him and the Cavaliers are American, so it is difficult to comfort them.

The position is wrong, it's embarrassing.

This matter can only be repaired with time, but there is no time now, so I can only hope that Wu Di will realize it quickly, and after he realizes it, he will be able to pass the last hurdle on the road to the championship, but...

Will definitely pass!
Scott has confidence in Wu Di!
That night, the other two teams also ushered in a life-and-death battle.

The Knicks played against the Celtics 0-2, and the Lakers played against the Thunder 0-2.

The Knicks were completely paralyzed. Although it was at home, the Celtics opened up a 20-point gap before the end of the second quarter.

The main reason is that there is no way to take care of defense. Regardless of Anthony or Stoudemire, once they get into a hard fight with the Celtics, they will soon be unable to hold on to the point difference, and then fall into a negative cycle of getting worse as they play.

In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 95-72. The Knicks lost G3 and joined the ranks of the Clippers in a 0-3 quasi-sweep.

The Celtics got a big deal this time.

A group of veterans still have the spirit to compete for the championship, but they are most afraid of physical exhaustion.

As a result, the first round was easily reimbursed 4-0 because of Pacers' Granger's injury. In the second round, because of Rose's accidental injury, he was upset and lost to the Knicks.

In this regard, NBA President Stern is also smiling, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Heat, the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals with the Celtics will not be low.

The Cavaliers are because of their old enemies, and the Heat are the new Big Three vs. the old Big Three!

In the other game of the day, the Lakers played a life-and-death game under the leadership of Kobe, and established a 15-23 advantage in the first quarter.

However, the Thunder is really unstoppable this year. Under the leadership of Durant, they recovered 5 points in the second quarter and pulled the score to 47-50.

Even in the last 2 minutes of the game, the Thunder still led 92-89, but the referee took over the game at the last moment. Kobe made consecutive body whistle free throws and abruptly pulled the score to 92-93.

In the last 50 seconds, Durant stood up and hit the iconic mid-range shot, 94-93, but then Kobe also hit a responsive fadeaway mid-range shot 94-95.

In the last round, Artest suddenly broke out and stole Durant. Kobe once again rushed inside with the ball and caused Westbrook to foul and hit a free throw, 94-97!

With only 10 seconds left after the free throw, the Thunder called a timeout to deploy tactics. Durant ran out to execute the last shot, but it was a three-pointer!
The score was fixed at 94-97, and the Lakers pulled back a game at Staples to avoid the fate of being swept.

After the game, those whistles in the last 2 minutes aroused heated discussions among the fans.

Thunder fans said that the referee's black whistle, especially the last whistle, should not be too obvious. It has been less than 10 seconds. Referees generally don't blow it. Why do they still blow this obvious foul-like action?

Lakers fans said that this is experience, and you have to be more stable at critical moments. Naturally, if you can make a foul, you have to make a foul, and the Thunder said that someone else made a foul. Look at the number of free throws on both sides, and look at the number of free throws on your bearded player. How dare you say it?

Passers-by fans said that it was just a trick for the league to sell more tickets, and the Thunder should stop arguing. If they have the ability to widen the point difference to more than 10 points, like the Cavaliers, no one will hold a few whistles to say.

But James has different opinions on this. He sent a series of tweets overnight:
"Looking back at the video of the game today, Jimmy Butler's few fouls are definitely criminals! It directly caused my good brother to get injured and convulsed!"

"The league hasn't learned the lessons of last season at all!"

"Before the situation gets out of control, the alliance should not do nothing like it is doing now, but should directly add criminals..."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Critics have criticized Lao Zhan for improperly using his influence to put pressure on the league.

Judgments are not absolutely fair. If the stars hold on to any penalties that are not good for them, then the game will not be able to be played in the future, and the league should severely punish Lao Zhan for his behavior!
But Jamies had a collective orgasm!
This is their Zhan Huang, who is under the pressure of the league's punishment and wants to stab his brothers!
"My family, now is not the time to be moved, let's leave a message on the official NBA account and put pressure on the league!"

Crowds of Jamies left messages on the official NBA account, which once overwhelmed the comment section of the official NBA account.

Seeing the situation fermenting, the league quickly made a decision, issued a warning to James, and fined him $10. Butler added a second-level criminal, triggered the suspension rule, and was banned from the next game!
Heat fans are celebrating, but Cavaliers fans are furious!

On the one hand, it is just a warning to add $10, but on the other hand, it is an additional second-level criminal that leads to the suspension of key players.

Wu Di was also speechless when he saw the news, what is this?
The hurdle moment staged in advance? !
The NBA is worthy of the surname N!
