Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 269 Unexpected Ending (4/5)

"Bang!"

James' free throw hit the back of the rim and bounced out!

In the scramble under the basket, Duncan grabbed the crucial defensive rebound.

The Spurs called a timeout!

A 2-point difference.

The Spurs players quickly gathered around Popovich.

Popovich paused for a moment before picking up the tactical board.

"Shoot a three."

He made the decision.

Taking a two-pointer would be the safest option at this time, but the Spurs' physical energy was obviously not as good as the Heat's, so he ultimately chose to gamble.

The timeout ended.

The two teams played a fiery fourth quarter, the court filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Miller and Breene both paused their commentary at this moment, their eyes staring straight at the court.

This was a truly suffocating moment.

Parker dribbled the ball forward into the frontcourt.

"Defense! Defense!"

The cheers of the home fans were deafening.

The Miami heatwave swept over them.

The Spurs weren't running the Hammer play, but a double screen at the free throw line.

Parker used Duncan's screen to drive inside.

"Collapse! Collapse!"

Spoelstra shouted from the sidelines, the Spurs were going for two!

The Heat quickly collapsed inside.

But at that moment, Duncan, who had screened for Parker, suddenly moved to the three-point line.

Tang Tian, who was originally positioned to spread the floor at the right wing forty-five-degree angle, suddenly moved closer to him.

After Parker broke into the paint, he didn't shoot. He circled out and flicked the ball to Tang Tian!

Tang Tian was the finisher of the play!

The Heat were caught off guard.

But James anticipated it.

After playing the first game, he knew Tang Tian's position in Popovich's tactical system!

He desperately lunged out.

Tang Tian's three-point shot, James' flying interference.

A familiar scene.

Tang Tian once again shot with James in his face.

But compared to the first game, James pounced earlier, providing significantly more defensive pressure.

The ball left his hand and passed James' fingertips.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the spinning basketball.

Could Tang Tian, who had made a miraculous shot in the fourth quarter, create another miracle?

"Bang!"

The answer was no.

The pressure James applied to this shot was too great!

Cheers erupted in the arena.

The Heat won!

James stood up, he didn't let the scene from the first game repeat itself!

But before their cheers died down, Duncan shockingly boxed out Bosh and grabbed the offensive rebound under the basket!

A crucial, fatal offensive rebound!

After grabbing the offensive rebound, Duncan shot directly.

Bosh desperately contested the shot.

"Slap!"

A very obvious foul.

Bosh's foul was thorough, Duncan's hand was not only hit, but he was also bumped out of bounds.

Bosh was obviously fouling to prevent the basket.

Duncan lost his balance, but he still threw the ball out.

"Bang!"

Perhaps decades of bank shots had created muscle memory.

This thrown ball actually hit the backboard, and after hitting the backboard, it went in!

The referee's whistle also sounded.

2+1!

The fans in the arena couldn't believe it.

Bosh also held his head in his hands.

His foul was too obvious, the referee couldn't not call it.

Only 3 seconds left in the game.

Duncan had a chance to win the game with a free throw.

Duncan walked to the free throw line.

The arena was filled with interference.

James lowered his head, his expression indescribably frustrated.

Duncan was known for his stability, this free throw would basically end the game.

He defended Tang Tian, but he couldn't defend Duncan.

The Spurs' team basketball!

Duncan dribbled the ball twice and aimed at the basket.

James looked up.

The ball was released.

"Bang!"

It was the same as his previous free throw, a miss!

The physical exertion was too great!

Even Stone Buddha couldn't make the free throw!

The script took a twist, and the opportunity came to the Heat again.

As long as they went to overtime, the Heat would obviously have a better chance of winning.

A scramble for position under the basket.

But after this ball was short, it went straight to the center.

Duncan stepped forward and grabbed the offensive rebound!

He rebounded his own missed free throw!

The Heat didn't even have time to call a timeout or foul.

The next second, Duncan flicked the ball to the right.

Tang Tian was standing in that position.

Tang Tian caught the ball again, with 1.5 seconds left.

He shot directly.

This time, everyone felt their breath stop for a moment.

This time, there was no James to block the shot.

Before the ball reached its highest point, the red light on the sidelines had already lit up.

This shot would either be a game-winner, or the two sides would tie and go into overtime.

James looked up at this time, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in his heart.

The feeling of having one's fate controlled by others.

The ball passed its highest point and began to descend.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian's buzzer-beating three-pointer went in!

A game-winner!

After hitting the game-winning shot in the first game, Tang Tian directly hit a three-pointer to kill the Heat in this game!

No overtime!

3-0!

The fans in the arena widened their eyes in disbelief the moment the ball went in.

This game was too incredible.

And the key was Tang Tian's three-pointer.

Although he didn't make as many as he did in the regular season, each one was more deadly than the last!

After the game-winner, Tang Tian didn't shout, but turned around and walked back with a pout.

As he walked, he raised his left leg, and then spread his hands out on both sides of his body in a downward pressing motion.

Left leg, press down, right leg, press down.

Then he forcefully patted his chest.

The Silencer!

The audience erupted in an uproar.

This action was more domineering than any shout.

Tang Tian was really ruthless.

James' expression froze for a moment, and he suddenly felt the indescribable feeling from the first game again.

And for some reason, it was even stronger than the first game.

"That's the move! The move I had him think about!"

Far away in New York, Walker and Thompson were sitting together watching the broadcast of the game.

After seeing this celebration, Walker jumped up on the spot.

This celebration was the celebration Tang Tian made after he beat Duke with a game-winner back then!

Last time, he beat Duke with a game-winner to enter the NCAA Championship Finals!

This time, he beat the Heat with a game-winner to make it 3-0!

This move was really going to become Tang Tian's signature celebration!

After Tang Tian finished this celebration, he was surrounded by his Spurs teammates the next second.

Shouts rose and fell.

He shouted and screamed with his teammates.

At halftime, Popovich said that regardless of whether they won or lost, regardless of the final result, he just wanted the team to show their presence.

This was his dignity.

But he didn't expect that the Spurs would not only show their presence, but also show their presence explosively. Tang Tian's game-winning three-pointer allowed them to win directly!

On the road, a 13-point comeback in the second half!

Like a dream!

But now they really won!

3-0!

No team in NBA history has ever come back from that score!

Holding 4 match points!

They had already pocketed half of the championship trophy!

James took the mouthpiece out of his mouth at this time, looked up at the score on the scoreboard, and sighed deeply.

He scored 48 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists tonight, he really had given it his all.

But God was really playing a big joke on him this time.

That rookie named Tang Tian had killed the game again.
