Chapter 470 - Chapter 471: Far! Farther! From Way Downtown!

Good?!

With a beautiful swish...

"Swish!"

Blake's three-pointer ripped through the net once again!

"Wow! Blake has hit two threes in a row!"

Van Gundy exclaimed in amazement.

Mark Jackson was just as stunned. "And they're not ordinary threes. Both were deep, extremely difficult shots.

"Blake is gambling on three-pointers to make up the deficit.

"But when you're down 20, if you want to come back quickly, threes really are the best way to do it."

Possession changed hands.

On Miami's end, LeBron drew Blake's attention before passing to Wade, who cut in from the wing and attacked the rim.

Wade hung in the air and adjusted his body.

"Swish!"

Good!

"Smack!"

As Wade and LeBron high-fived while running back on defense, LeBron said, "Blake is trying to force his way back with threes.

"So extend the defense. Don't give him those shots. Make him drive and settle for two. That'll also force him to burn more energy."

"Got it!"

Wade replied.

Sure enough, on the next possession, the moment Blake got the ball at the top of the arc, LeBron and Wade immediately rushed over to double-team him.

"Wow!

"Two of the top five players in the league are double-teaming a rookie center beyond the three-point line. What an unbelievable sight!

"What's Blake going to do?

"Pass it or take them on himself?!

"George comes up to set a screen. Blake has no intention of passing. He gets around LeBron and moves toward the left wing. Wade stays with him, and Bosh rotates over to help.

"Blake?!

"He starts to drive, then suddenly stops on a dime!

"Bosh is frozen!

"Blake rises straight up with Wade right in front of him!

"He's using his overwhelming height and wingspan to shoot directly over 'Flash' Wade. Wade gets a hand right in his face!

"This shot?!

"Bang!

"Blake drills another ridiculous three!

"Unbelievable!

"Since the start of the second half, Blake is 3-for-3 from beyond the arc! Nine straight points by himself, leading the Suns on a 9-2 run!

"The 20-point deficit is down to 13!

"Blake is red-hot and starting to look unstoppable. Miami has to call timeout!"

At the commentary table, Jon Barry was practically bursting with excitement.

And just as he expected, the moment Blake buried another absurd three-pointer, Coach Spoelstra immediately called timeout.

In the stands...

"Blake's starting to heat up!"

Psy was so excited that he started moving his body as though he were about to break into "Gangnam Style."

This might have been a Heat home game, but Psy had come here specifically to watch Blake.

Koji Wada had also come for Blake, and he was just as excited.

"His three is finally falling! Keep it going and cut that lead down!"

"Iron Mike" Tyson, who was rooting for LeBron, shouted, "Miami needs to tighten up the defense! Blake is all the Suns have right now. Shut him down and you win!"

Nearby in the stands, Anthony's expression grew serious.

"They need to defend Blake even harder. They can't let him get completely locked in from three, or this could turn ugly."

"Exactly."

Paul nodded in agreement.

Coach Spoelstra understood that just as well.

During the timeout, he immediately adjusted Miami's defensive scheme, specifically targeting Blake.

Soon, the timeout ended.

The game resumed.

"Wade drives and kicks it out to Chalmers in the left corner. Three-pointer. Is it good?!

"Bang!

"Chalmers delivers! He knocks down the three!

"Now Phoenix comes back the other way. Blake brings the ball across half court and heads toward the top of the arc. Wait, he hasn't even reached the arc yet, and LeBron and Bosh are already coming to trap him?!

"Blake?!

"Wow!

"He's a meter beyond the three-point line, maybe even farther, and before Miami's double-team can get there, Blake launches another deep three!

"He actually took it!

"That is an incredibly difficult shot!

"Can he really hit another one?!

"Bang!

"Nothing but net again!

"Blake is absolutely scorching tonight!"

"Nash brings the ball up and finds George cutting from the free-throw line. George attacks the rim but can't finish!

"Haslem tips the rebound away!

"Who gets it?!

"LeBron and Blake both go after it!

"Blake has the height advantage and beats LeBron to the ball, securing the rebound!

"Now they're matched up one-on-one on the perimeter.

"Look at where Blake is standing.

"He's a full two meters beyond the three-point line, yet 'King James' still refuses to give this center any room to handle the ball.

"And wait...

"Wow! Wade is moving up too!

"They're actually going to double-team Blake two meters beyond the three-point line!

"What does Blake do? Pass it? Or...

"Oh my God!

"Before Wade can get there, Blake rises up over LeBron from two meters beyond the arc!

"He just pulled up for three!

"Has Blake lost his mind?!

"LeBron contests it hard. Blake got the shot off, but the degree of difficulty is enormous. I don't think...

"Bang!

"Unbelievable!

"Blake hits another one from way downtown!

"That's five threes in this quarter!

"On the stage of Game 6 of the Finals, Blake has scored 15 points by himself in barely half a quarter!

"The 'Monster Rookie' has completely taken over!"

"'Flash' Wade attacks two defenders under the basket, uses a Eurostep, and finishes the layup!

"That's superstar ability on the biggest stage!

"Now Phoenix comes back the other way.

"And once again, Blake brings it up.

"He's completely caught fire.

"For the last several possessions, however far out Miami guards him, Blake simply shoots from even farther away.

"And the terrifying part is that he keeps making them.

"For a center to possess this kind of phenomenal three-point range is frightening. It's enough to make the Heat nervous every time he crosses half court.

"How is Miami supposed to defend this?

"LeBron and Wade rush up yet again, trapping Blake almost as soon as he crosses half court!

"They don't want to give him even the slightest opening!

"The farther they guard him, the farther he shoots.

"Is Blake really going to do it again?!

"Wow!!!

"He is!

"Blake doesn't even give LeBron and Wade time to set the trap!

"He pulls up from more than two meters beyond the arc on the left side!

"Another three from way, way downtown!

"Insane!

"This is absolutely insane!

"That shot is ridiculously difficult! There's no way Blake can keep making these. Can he?!

"The ball hits the rim and bounces high into the air!

"No good?!

"Not so fast!

"Bang!

"It drops back through!

"His sixth three-pointer of the quarter!

"Eighteen points!

"Blake has completely lost his mind out there!"

At the commentary table, Jon Barry was speaking at breakneck speed, practically spraying spit as Blake kept launching one ridiculous three-pointer after another, each from farther away than the last.

He was completely fired up.

"Wow..."

Throughout the stands, fans stared with their mouths hanging open, utterly stunned.

For Suns fans, Blake's absurd three-point shooting had them beside themselves with excitement.

For Heat fans, however, it inspired only one thing.

Fear.
