After the game started again, the Heat sent out Butler. Eddie Jones was already a little over the top, and Stan Van Gundy asked him to calm down.
After the Heat substitute point guard Dulin and Haslem ran a pick-and-roll, they rushed straight into the Magic paint. After attracting Varejao's defense, they hit the ball to center Doryak. Doryak wiped the board under the basket and scored.
After the Heat scored, they retreated very quickly and did not give the Magic a chance for a fast break. Hill had no choice but to lead the defense.
Following Edison's instructions, Hill gave the ball to Martin on the wing outside the three-point line.
The Heat's current Butler has average skills, average body, and average consciousness. The only thing that makes him successful is that he has a good mentality, dares to fight and grab, and has a very positive attitude on the court.
In fact, Hill's approach of handing the ball to Martin was not good, because Martin was too weak and asked him to play with the ball. He really couldn't do it. The ball shook when he touched his body. Butler also prepared carefully before the game.
Seeing Martin catch the ball, he quickly took half a step forward. It was clear that he was trying to prevent you from shooting. If you broke through, I would just bump into it and I would be done.
After Martin got the ball, he took a step and then sent the ball forward, but Butler did nothing.
But Martin did not lose heart because of this. After Edison said those words to him, he suddenly felt that his condition was very good, just a pull-up from outside the three-point line.
Martin's action was so sudden and unreasonable that Butler initially thought he was making a fake move and did not jump immediately. As a result, he could only watch the ball fly over his head.
Butler was very unwilling. He stretched out his arm vigorously, as if this would make his arm longer and be able to touch the ball. However, he did not expect that this action of his would cause trouble.
This time, Martin did not lean back, but leaned forward a little. When he saw Butler's posture, he suddenly had an idea. When he landed, he deliberately pushed forward a little more, so that the two people landed very close to each other.
Close.
When Butler saw Martin's move, he reacted, "This kid is going to commit a foul." But he had already used his force for the second time in the air, and it was Carter's ability to adjust it again, and it was really not what he could do.
. As a result, Martin hit Martin when he landed, but because it was not intentional, the force of the impact was very light, but Martin immediately stepped back 30 centimeters and then fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded, "Three points are valid, and one penalty kick is added."
The referee's whistle sounded like music to Martin's ears. He jumped up to celebrate, but he suddenly remembered what Varejao often said, "Do the whole thing, otherwise the referee will think you are deliberately humiliating him."
"It is said that this was the experience of one of Varejao's teammates in Spain. After landing, he covered his face and rolled while secretly watching the referee's performance through his fingers. As a result, he was photographed and later criticized.
Martin was still lying on the ground. Diaw came to his side, yelled at him, and then quickly pulled him up. Other players also came over to celebrate with him.
Martin came to the free throw line, and after high-fiving Varejao and Diaw, he made a steady free throw and scored 4 points.
After seeing the goal go in, Edison suddenly said to Thibodeau next to him, "I have a hunch that the key to our victory in this game lies with him."
"Indeed, he is too tough now. He scored 10 points in less than 4 minutes after playing. By the way, what did you say to him just now?"
"It's nothing, just some words of encouragement for him. Tom, I think we may not be able to keep Kevin."
"What's the meaning?"
"I think after this series, Kevin will become the league's top scorer in one fell swoop, and if we can't give him room to play, he will leave the Magic."….
"No, he still has three years of contract."
"Tom, this is not about the contract. Don't you think it's cruel to let such a talented player spend time on our bench? It's an injustice to him, and an injustice to the league and the audience.
.He should go somewhere where he can fully utilize his talents."
Thibodeau said nothing and no longer knew what to say.
But Edison's emotion was not over. He looked at Martin on the court, then looked back at the bench, and said to himself, "You too, if you don't get enough training, you won't reach the heights you later reached."
."
Edison groaned without any symptoms off the court, but was full of passion on the court.
The more Martin played, the better he got. Originally, when his teammates passed the ball to him, it was still under Edison's arrangement. But later he discovered that he really couldn't shoot the ball, so he gradually gave up the right to shoot. This is just like the rookie Jennings.
It was like 55 points. The Bucks' head coach at the time definitely didn't plan to hit him at this point. His teammates saw that he was in good condition and passed the ball to him spontaneously.
When Stan Van Gundy saw that the substitutes couldn't do the job, he had to send in Shaquille O'Neal in advance to stabilize the situation.
O'Neal is invincible guarding the inside, but if Martin doesn't break through, he just shoots from the outside. O'Neal's "whip" can't reach him and have no impact. Moreover, Martin's shooting rate is surprisingly high, and O'Neal can't use much of his rebounding skills.
But fortunately, O'Neal's appearance ensured the Heat's scoring. Facing Varejao, he turned around and stepped up more frequently despite Diaw's double-teaming.
As a result, at the end of the first half, 41-44, the Heat were 3 points behind.
After carefully analyzing the situation in the first half, Edison decided to go ahead and try to kill the Heat.
"Plan B is implemented ahead of schedule. We don't have to wait until the fourth quarter. I see that O'Neal has consumed a lot of energy. Diaw, there is no problem with you. You basically didn't get much rest in the first half."
"Okay, coach, these 20 minutes are enough for me to reply." Diaw replied while wiping his sweat. Just like Edison said, Diaw only rested for 2 minutes near the end of the first quarter today, and started from the beginning of the second quarter.
Beat to the end.
"That's good."
The rest time is always short, and soon the staff comes to call the Magic players to come out.
At the beginning of the game, everyone discovered what was different about magic.
"The Magic changed their defensive tactics against O'Neal. Now they have Diaw go around to defend O'Neal and Howard to defend Haslem. I can't understand it." Marv Albert was very surprised by the Magic's changes.
In fact, he was not the only one who was surprised, everyone was very surprised.
"The Magic used to go forward to defend O'Neal before, but that was in the fourth quarter of the game, when O'Neal's physical fitness was not good and his jumping ability was insufficient. But at that time, Howard was going to go forward, and now Diaw is asked to go forward... forget it.
, we still have to look at the actual results.”
Damon Jones saw O'Neal, who was being passed by Diaw, pointing at the basket, and made a gesture to him to throw it here. Without thinking much, he quickly hoisted the ball to the edge of the basket. As soon as the ball was released, Jones thought in his heart
, "Did you make a mistake? O'Neal is not Yao Ming. He has the ability to operate in the air."
But when O'Neal jumped up for an alley-oop, an accident happened.
Howard suddenly rushed back from the other side, also jumping high, and then the two started a basketball battle in the air. Because of Howard's trouble, O'Neal failed to dunk, but the ball was still in his hands, but he waited when he landed.
Diaw cut the ball off with a slap and then made a long pass.
Marion had already shaken off the Heat players, rushed out with his neck stretched out, and succeeded in an empty basket.
Thibodeau looked at the scene that just happened on the court, and his mind went back to the tactical discussion meeting a few days ago...
"I think we can go one step further and let Diaw go around to defend O'Neal."
"The height difference between the two is so big, I'm worried that he won't be able to guard him. And if the opponent hangs back, there will be a big hole."
Although some people have questioned it, Edison is still very confident, "I think there is no problem. If you think about it, the key to forward defense is not the height difference, but to cut off the opponent's ball path. As for Diaw's tactical quality, I think there is no problem at all.
He can solve this problem very well. As for the reverse hanging, we still have Howard."
"The biggest original intention of me coming up with this tactic is to liberate Howard on the defensive end so that he will no longer be blocked by O'Neal's exaggerated body. Howard can't defend O'Neal alone, mainly because he can't withstand his feet. If O'Neal relies on hitting like a bulldozer
, Howard has no way, but his upper body strength is not inferior. When the opponent hangs back, the ball speed will definitely not be fast. With Howard's speed, he can come back. In this way, the confrontation between him and O'Neal changes from the ground to the
In the air, his advantages in upper body strength and jumping ability can be brought into play at this time. In this way, we can use our own strengths to attack others' weaknesses and eliminate the disadvantages inside."
Thinking of this, Thibodeau turned his head and looked at Edison seriously, "The so-called genius is probably like this. They can always grasp every detail and then solve problems in ways that others have not expected."
Everyone here is a master, and you can understand everything with one ball. Stan Van Gundy quickly called a timeout, then replaced Haslem and replaced him with inside pitcher Laettner, thus taking advantage of Howard's return to fight O'Neal in the air.
The void created.
However, Stan Van Gundy solved the problem offensively by doing this, but there were loopholes in defense. Laettner was not good at defense. He only had height but no speed and hardness, so he was directly defeated by the Magic.
The two teams once again entered into an offensive rhythm that is rare in the playoffs.
When O'Neal was unreliable, another true god of the Heat stepped forward.
Although O'Neal was restricted offensively, his intimidating power on the defensive end still existed, so Wade focused entirely on the offensive end. Once a player of his caliber started scoring, no one could stop him.
64 ties, 73 ties, 79 ties, 81 ties, 88 ties. In the last 30 seconds of the game, the two teams were tied at 94-96, with the Magic leading and the Heat having the ball.
Stan Van Gundy called a timeout and arranged his final attack.
After Wade received the foul ball, he slowly dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, not in any hurry and taking time. Iguodala stared at him closely, shaking his right hand in front of his eyes and stepping on his feet.
He took small steps and kept twisting his body.
Finally, 20 seconds passed when the time was up, and Wade moved.
He suddenly took a big step to the right, and Iguodala hurriedly pounced there, while Wade pulled his leg back and then jumped up to take a shot.
There is always a group of people in this world who can burst out with greater energy at critical moments and even do things they usually cannot do. Wade is one of them, and his three-pointer is not
Okay, but at a critical moment that decided the outcome, he broke out and scored the goal.
The Heat took the lead by one point.
At this moment, the passion of the entire American Airlines Center was ignited, and the fans in the audience burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. They were only 5 seconds away from victory.
