Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 379 2012-2013 NBA Champions! (Fourth Update!)

Whether it was the devil or the Xiuer, Tang Tian's offensive foul was both saucy and deadly.

It was like the Heat handing the Spurs the chance for a game-winning shot!

After being pulled up by his teammates, Tang Tian couldn't help but shout excitedly.

The referee wouldn't call him for traveling, but with his excellent acting skills, they had to call the offensive foul!

Popovich called the Spurs' last timeout.

Spoelstra on the Heat side had called fewer earlier, and also had one left.

When play resumed, the Spurs made a substitution, with Ginobili and Parker replacing Diaw and Green.

The previous lineup was focused on defense, this one was gambling on offense.

Now that the score was tied, a two-pointer or a three-pointer would do, as long as they could score.

Parker inbounded the ball from the front court.

The audience was holding its breath.

The last 13 seconds!

The Spurs didn't use the Starburst tactic again, with Tang Tian and Leonard both initially positioned in the corners on either side.

Parker passed the ball directly to Duncan outside the three-point line.

Duncan had the ball with his back to the basket outside the three-point line.

Ginobili ran over at this time, and after Duncan handed off the ball, he immediately turned and set a screen.

Popovich used a completely unexpected tactic at the end!

The Heat were obviously not prepared.

After this screen, Ginobili received the ball and was already mismatched against Bosh, and he accelerated into a snake-like penetration.

Bosh couldn't defend him at all!

The noise in the arena was already rising.

Wade was forced to shrink inside.

Ginobili was double-teamed, and he directly passed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard had a three-point opportunity.

With 7 seconds left, he hesitated!

If this shot didn't go in, and the Heat got the rebound, then possession would switch again.

He wanted to wait 2 seconds.

"Shoot!"

But at this moment, Ginobili shouted anxiously.

Because James had already flown over to help defend.

Leonard's shot, James' pounce to interfere was a little slow.

The ball passed over James' fingertips.

Everyone in the arena held their breath.

"Clang!"

The basketball bounced off the rim.

This was likely going to overtime!

But at this moment, Duncan erupted again, reaching out to tip the ball over Bosh's head.

After the ball was tipped, it slammed into the backboard, and then rebounded into the net!

Duncan with the quasi-game-winner!

The last 1.5 seconds!

Crazy!

The Spurs players on the court went crazy!

Spoelstra immediately called the Heat's last timeout.

All the Heat players were stunned in place.

James glanced at Bosh, feeling a faint pain in his chest.

The Heat ultimately lost on the inside!

Spoelstra's expression was also frustrated, but he took a deep breath and then called the players over.

"1.5 seconds, we still have a chance, they hit a game-winner against us last game, this time we'll hit a game-winner against them!"

The noise in the arena was loud, and Spoelstra was practically shouting as he spoke.

James nodded vigorously, and then shouted at the others.

After the tactics were arranged, the players went on the court one after another.

Spoelstra then pulled James aside and said, "Run the play."

Obviously, he was worried that James would take matters into his own hands again like he had in the previous possession.

James nodded.

Timeout over, the last 1.5 seconds.

Everyone held their breath.

This year's Finals, going to Game 7, and still down to the final seconds, this was truly rare in history.

The final attack, a truly life-or-death offense.

Wade was standing on the sideline to inbound the ball!

Because the time was too short, there was no time to dribble, they could only rely on tactical cooperation to create an opportunity.

Bosh set a screen for James at the top of the arc, and after James ran over, he set another screen for Ray Allen.

Obviously, Ray Allen was the end point of this tactic.

The Heat's tactics were perfectly executed, with Ray Allen running out and getting a chance to catch the ball, turn, and shoot.

The hearts of the fans in the arena tightened.

Ray Allen, a historic three-point shooter, a more reliable three-point shooter than Tang Tian, and a three-point shooter who had already hit a game-winner against the Spurs in Game 5!

He shot.

A game-winning shot that would decide the fate of both sides!

James turned around to look at Ray Allen after setting the screen, his eyes full of hope.

He had told Ray Allen before the game that now they would see if things could really go as they wished.

But in the next second, he saw a familiar and terrifying figure.

"No!"

He was shouting in his heart, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

Just as Ray Allen's ball was released, something happened that no one had expected.

Tang Tian suddenly rushed out from the side, leaping into the air and directly slapping the ball.

He blocked Ray Allen's game-winning shot out of bounds!

Clean, crisp, no body contact!

A beautiful block!

"Beep!"

The final buzzer sounded!

Game over!

Tang Tian, this time without using a three-pointer, but with a block, had sealed the Heat's fate!

The Spurs had won the 2012~2013 NBA Championship!

They had come back from a 2-3 deficit, a 15-point halftime deficit in Game 6, and had defeated the Heat in the Game 7 showdown, despite being written off by everyone, to win the final championship!

The fans in the arena held their heads in disbelief.

The Heat players also held their heads and stared at the scoreboard.

Wade simply lay down on the ground.

They lost.

They had lost in a great situation!

This was the closest this Heat team had been to a championship, but in the end, they still lost!

They lost at home again!

James' eyes were full of despair.

He just wanted a championship, why was it so difficult!

Pat Riley was in a daze in the stands.

He had really miscalculated.

Last season, he could still find an excuse that the roster wasn't good enough, but this time he had really miscalculated.

Maybe he really shouldn't have missed out on Tang Tian like that.

The Heat's players and fans couldn't calm down for a long time, but on the Spurs side, the players had rushed onto the court like crazy and started celebrating.

Two consecutive championships!

They did it!

They had finally broken the so-called odd-year championship curse!

They had finally achieved a repeat championship!

Ginobili and Duncan were both somewhat out of control, hugging each other and putting all their strength into the embrace.

For them, to be able to complete such a championship before the end of their careers was really too meaningful.

McGrady was smiling sweeter than ever at this time, he had finally won his own championship, and he had even contributed to it.

The other Spurs players were all shouting and yelling around Tang Tian and Popovich.

Six championships in 16 years, two consecutive championships, they could finally be defined as a true dynasty!

Only De Colo and Baynes, who were newcomers, were there excitedly and at a loss.

Tang Tian also roared up to the sky at this time.

Enough, this was enough!

Last year, they stepped on the Heat to win the championship, telling the Heat how wrong they were not to choose him.

This year, afraid that they would forget the pain once the wound healed, they stepped on the wound again, making them remember it completely!

This time, the Heat would forever remember the operation of giving him up back then, just like the Hornets would forever remember trading Kobe to the Lakers!
