บท 430: Chapter 430: Carter's Outburst
Yi Nan did not return to the locker room. He stayed on the court to be interviewed by Yu Jia and Coach Zhang.
Coach Zhang wanted to interview Wade Dong the most, but Wade Dong refused.
Chinese fans could understand this. Wade Dong was the absolute mainstay of the Suns. Interviewing him during halftime would affect the game to some extent.
Fortunately, Yi Nan was also a Chinese player, so interviewing him was a good choice.
Yu Jia, "Welcome, Yi Nan. Say hello to the audience in front of the TV."
Yi Nan, "Hello everyone, I'm Yi Nan."
Coach Zhang, "How does it feel to play in the Finals for the first time? In the first quarter, you made two shots and one alley-oop, leading the team to expand the lead."
Yi Nan, "Hahaha... It's Dong Ge who leads the team."
Huang Yu, "You're very calm on the court. If it were me, I would definitely be nervous playing in the Finals for the first time."
Yi Nan, "You know, our team has won two championships. My teammates have a lot of playoff experience, and they helped me overcome my nerves before the game."
Yu Jia, "The atmosphere in the Suns locker room must be great."
Yi Nan, "The team atmosphere is very good. This is the best team I've ever played for."
...
Yu Jia, "Thank you, Yi Nan, for coming to the live broadcast room. The second half is about to start, and we can't disturb Yi Nan anymore. We hope the Suns can win this game."
Yi Nan, "Thank you."
...
Suns locker room.
Gentry and Kerr were discussing second-half tactics together.
They decided to increase the defensive intensity and not let the Heat make any plays. If the Big Five scored with their super individual abilities, they would have to accept it.
After all, even Wade Dong couldn't defend against five players at once.
After the tactics were discussed, Yi Nan returned to the locker room. Gentry joked, "Yo, Yi Nan is back from the interview?"
"Yeah!"
Yi Nan nodded, "Is there anything I should pay attention to in the second half?"
Gentry joked, "Be more diligent in passing water, cheer louder for your teammates, and that's about it."
Yi Nan, "..."
"I'm just kidding."
Gentry patted Yi Nan on the shoulder, "Am I funny?"
Yi Nan, "..."
"Alright, let's get ready and win this game! Come on!"
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
...
The second half began.
Paul broke through and passed to Anthony, who made a mid-range shot.
"Swoosh!!"
The ball went straight into the net.
57:54!!!
The Heat were only three points behind.
Then, Durant passed the ball to Curry, who dribbled to the frontcourt, facing Paul's defense, and made a three-pointer.
"Swoosh!!"
The ball went straight into the net.
Wade was playing one-on-one with Green. His turnaround jumper was blocked by Green, but Wade Dong grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to the frontcourt. Curry sprinted to the frontcourt, received Wade Dong's pass, and made a fast break layup.
62:54!!!
In just two rounds, the Suns had expanded their lead to eight points.
James wanted the ball outside the three-point line, dribbling while extending a finger to remind his teammates to play steadily and not let the Suns take control of the rhythm.
The Heat players all spread out, leaving James space to play one-on-one with Wade Dong.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
The home fans all stood up as James played one-on-one with Wade Dong.
...
This ball was very significant. If Wade Dong could defend it, it would naturally boost the Suns' morale. If James made the shot, it would also boost the Heat's morale.
On the sidelines, Spoelstra clapped and shouted, "James, you have to make this shot!"
"Huff... Huff..."
Gentry didn't leave the bench, but he opened the lid of his thermos and blew on it.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
James dribbled twice between his legs, stepped back to the three-point line, and took a three-pointer!
"Oh my god, damn~ Shhha... Shhha..."
Gentry kept sticking out his tongue, scalded by the hot water.
Just now, when James took the three-pointer, Gentry was about to drink some water, but he saw Wade Dong fly up and give James a big block.
Gentry was so excited...
...that he poured the scalding hot water into his mouth. He seemed to have forgotten that the water was still very hot, having just been poured in the locker room.
"Wow!!!"
"Wade Dong!!!"
The DJ in the arena was also excited, and his voice filled the entire stadium, "Wade Dong gives James a big block! This is the strength of a two-time consecutive block king!"
After blocking James, Wade Dong grabbed the ball, dribbled straight to the frontcourt, and made a windmill dunk.
64:54!!!
The lead was once again extended to ten points.
This block became the turning point of the game, and the Suns' momentum was fully unleashed.
Durant, Curry, and Thompson also scored consecutively.
With nine minutes left in the third quarter, the Heat were already down by 17 points. Even so, Spoelstra had to let some of the main players rest and replace them with substitutes.
On the Suns' side...
Wade Dong, Durant, and Curry remained on the court, but Carter and Whiteside replaced Green and Thompson.
Curry made a mid-range shot that hit the rim...
Haslem was about to fight for the rebound, but Carter suddenly rushed over and dunked the ball over Haslem.
Anthony made a mid-range jump shot.
The Suns attacked.
Carter received a pass from Curry in the corner and faked a shot to shake off Jones. He dribbled straight to the basket.
As Carter rushed in, Haslem raised both hands high to try to block Carter.
However, Carter made a small pull-up in the air to avoid Haslem's block!
"Bang!!!"
Carter dunked the ball again.
"Damn, awesome~~~"
Yi Nan jumped up from the bench and waved his towel vigorously.
"Damn, how are we supposed to play now?!"
Spoelstra was so angry that he threw the tactical board to the ground.
Dealing with Wade Dong, Durant, and Curry was already difficult enough, but Carter also did this to him? Dunking twice over Haslem, at this moment, Carter seemed to have returned to the era of being half-man, half-god.
"Oh yeah~~~"
After the dunk, Carter also celebrated with his arms spread wide, in a low-flying posture.
"Idol~"
Wade Dong also rushed over to bump shoulders with Carter in celebration.
The Suns were already leading by 19 points.
Although there were less than two minutes left in the third quarter, Spoelstra still called a timeout.
"Attack the basket and create fouls!"
"Attack the basket and create fouls!"
"Attack the basket and create fouls!"
Spoelstra kept emphasizing this phrase, "The interior defense is the weakest part of the Suns. Don't float outside and shoot threes!"
...
After the timeout, James, who had just rested for less than a minute, returned to the court.
