Chapter 803: Chapter 273: Miami People, Cherish This—It’s the Heat’s Big Three’s Last Dance!
LeBron James’s fist was unconsciously clenched tightly.
No, I cannot be eliminated, I absolutely cannot be eliminated...
This is only the first round!
How can I be eliminated in the first round?
After getting on the court, LeBron James stopped thinking and started continuously driving to the basket.
It was at this moment he suddenly realized that Kevin Garnett, whom he was facing, was just a "paper tiger"!
His physical fitness was exhausted, he didn’t have enough energy to create a sufficient threat in the basket.
Dare to deceive me?
Having seen through Kevin Garnett’s true state, LeBron started breaking through to the basket repeatedly, filled with confidence.
Behind each of his "tank collisions" was Kevin Garnett’s powerless resistance, as he gasped heavily, trying hard to confront LeBron and create more disruptions.
But...
Is this as far as we can go?
As the confrontation increased, Kevin Garnett felt his legs getting heavier.
Actually, since game six of the series, he had felt that way, but he gritted his teeth, overcoming the heaviness with positivity, intimidating LeBron into holding back during attacks.
What a pity!
At the final moment, even LeBron would choose to go all out, trying to win back the game with his most skilled weapon.
Kevin Garnett’s legs grew heavier, Paul Pierce’s stamina was nearly drained as well, failing to score in three consecutive possessions against Wade and Battier’s defense.
The 8-point gap was instantly reduced to just 1 point.
Pierce, with great effort, created a "defensive foul" and stepped up to the free throw line.
LeBron clasped his hands on his knees, eyes fixated on Paul Pierce at the free throw line.
His resolute appearance was given a close-up on the big screen, immediately sparking cheers from the audience:
What determined eyes!
The reporters on the sidelines took photos, capturing his "Death’s Eye."
To these reporters, this was the "night of transformation" for LeBron!
Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal exchanged glances; LeBron’s determined appearance was something they’d never seen before, especially Shaquille O’Neal, who never imagined seeing such an expression on LeBron’s face...
The Miami crowd felt the influence of LeBron’s demeanor and erupted into cheers.
These shouts boosted the players’ morale on the court, and at the end of the match, the Heat Team defeated the Celtics 100 to 91, clinching this critical "Game 7."
LeBron wasted no time in stepping forward to embrace Kevin Garnett.
Garnett said to him: "Impressive look in your eyes!"
The next morning, the news of the Heat’s advancement to the semifinals, meeting the Knicks, along with LeBron’s "Death’s Eye," hit the trending topics all over the United States.
Many media outlets were discussing whether LeBron would embrace his "transformation" after this game.
No matter how LeBron performed in key battles in the past, there was no denying his performance last night, scoring a combined 16 points in the third and fourth quarters, being the great contributor to the Heat’s comeback.
Some media are already worrying about the New York Knicks.
As for the Miami media, they were eager to beat drums and tambourines, proclaiming to the world: "The Heat Team survived a life-or-death battle, and most importantly... they underwent a transformation!"
"Beware, New York Knicks, standing before you now is a brand new Miami Heat Team!"
They were convinced that after this game, the Heat Team had completely changed from before.
Especially LeBron, who proved once again that he could withstand critical moments, overcoming his inner demons, and would undoubtedly become stronger.
Soon reporters found Su Wan, asking him to talk about the Miami Heat’s advancement and LeBron’s "Death’s Eye."
Su Wan said: "LeBron’s pose is impressive, as for whether this team has completed its transformation, I don’t know, I only know before this series began, many media thought they’d resolve the Celtics within 5 games!"
"Yet this series went to 7 games!"
"Shouldn’t the applause be given to the Celtics?"
"As for LeBron and the Heat Team successfully advancing to the next round, I just want to say..."
"I am happy to have the opportunity to personally dismantle this team."
"Cherish it, Miami People, for this will be the last dance of the Heat’s Big Three!"
