Wade, who was leaning back in the air, threw hard with his right hand. The ball flew across half of the court and fell into the hands of LeBron James on the left wing.
At this time, there was no one in front of LeBron James. With no one defending him, LeBron James calmly adjusted the basketball in his hand and easily took off a long shot from outside the three-point line.
With the clear sound of "swish", the basketball hit the net.
At 56:45, the Heat narrowed the point difference to 11 points again.
Wade's breakthrough just now has attracted most of the Spurs' attention. The ball was passed very timely, allowing LeBron James to get such a good shooting opportunity.
Fifteen seconds later, Wade was almost in the same position and in the same way, once again sending the ball to Mario Chalmers, who hit his second three-pointer.
At 56:48, the Heat finally narrowed the point difference to single digits, now only 8 points behind.
Two consecutive three-pointers invigorated the atmosphere on the Heat's bench. The players who seemed a little depressed just now became inspired again and were full of energy.
**Coach Vicky also anxiously gave instructions on the sidelines. After being warned by the referee, he returned to the bench. At least under the current circumstances, the Heat had an advantage on the court.
In the remainder of the second quarter, both teams entered a stalemate. The Heat's players defended very actively and never allowed their opponents to take advantage of the situation. The Spurs finally ended the game with an 8-point lead at 58:50.
Half a game.
The Heat players can still accept this result. After all, with an 8-point difference, they can easily catch up in one half.
"This guy..." Wade looked at Chen Feng's back, his expression a little solemn, and he was sitting on the bench panting.
In the past few minutes, his amount of exercise was too great. Most of the Heat's scoring opportunities relied on Wade's breakthrough and passing. The Spurs' defense against him became increasingly fierce.
At the end of the first half, the Spurs led the Heat by 8 points, 58:50. Although the Spurs still led by 8 points, they were far from the big lead in the middle of the second quarter.
In particular, the originally high morale turned slightly low at the end of the second quarter. The Heat's Wade was like the mainstay of the Heat. After resisting the Spurs' attacks one after another, the Heat players
Under the leadership of Wade and James, they gradually regained their confidence, especially Mario Chalmers, who hit two consecutive three-pointers at the last minute.
The Heat's morale has risen, and naturally the Spurs' morale has gone down. But even so, **Vicci still did not criticize his disciples. He believed in them, and believed that they could get out of this difficult period, especially now.
The team's lineup is complete.
Although the Spurs did not perform very well at the end of the second quarter, they still controlled the initiative on the court. Chen Feng did not perform very well in the last two minutes of the second quarter, but the ESPN columnist still chose
Chen Feng was the interview target.
It was Chen Feng who revitalized the team's offense in the middle of the second quarter and revitalized the Spurs. And it is obvious that victory is very close to the Spurs, as long as Chen Feng can perform normally.
Moreover, the Heat sacrificed most of their physical strength to defend the Spurs and always played fast breaks, so there will definitely be problems with their physical strength.
In the life-and-death battle in the second half, physical strength will become a fatal factor for the Heat.
Although they are young, Wade is not the same person he was before. Being one-on-one with Chen Feng like this will put Wade's knees under tremendous pressure!
Their core content is all in their prime, but compared to Chen Feng and Leonard, physical strength is definitely not an advantage! Coupled with **Vic's excellent rotation, the physical problem is a problem that the Heat need to solve.
Therefore, for the Heat, a protracted battle is the most difficult. Especially because they are still on the lagging side. Therefore, the Heat, which consumed a lot of energy in the first half, will be more intense, intensive in physical contact, and more frequent in the second half.
, they will face a very big challenge.
In the first half of the game, the Spurs had nine players on the field, including Chen Feng who spent the longest time on the court. He only rested on the bench for more than five minutes. On the Heat's side, the starting five except Chris Bosh
Because they were injured at the beginning of the first quarter, they took a rest, but the other four players played almost the entire first half of the game.
Chen Feng was a little overwhelmed after playing for such a long time. He panted and said to the ESPN reporter: "In this game, we must fight hard. We have lost two finals, and the championship is getting further and further away from us. So this
We cannot afford to lose in this battle."
After saying all this in one breath, Chen Feng quickly rushed into the lounge.
The Heat players rushed into the locker room one after another. Spoelstra was a little depressed. Although the point difference was reduced to single digits at the end of the second quarter, all their main players were tired.
It's not light. At least a few starting players must get enough rest time, otherwise a group of players will fall down from exhaustion before the game is over.
Now Spoelstra is the biggest headache. How to arrange player rest is so difficult for the current Heat team. Chris Bosh and James are the most difficult to arrange. Now the game cannot be separated from them. Chris
Bosh is the guarantee of inside offense. His containment effect in the inside is currently irreplaceable by no one on the team.
And James is the team's anchor. Without James, the Heat will definitely lose.
However, these two are the players that the team needs to rest the most. Once the game enters the final decisive moment, they are the players that the team needs most urgently.
As for Wade, let alone that! Playing against that Chinese kid, Wade, who is no longer young, almost exhausted his physical energy!
Therefore, the Heat coach was studying how to arrange the players' rest time during the halftime break.
The game started quickly in the third quarter. Surprisingly, the Heat did not let Wade play. This may have something to do with him consuming too much energy in the first half.
Ray Allen, who came on as a substitute, adopted a tight defense against Chen Feng and kept trying to take the ball out of Chen Feng's hands.
However, with Chen Feng's ball control ability reaching its peak, even Wade could not easily steal the ball from his hand. He always kept two steps away from Chen Feng, so that Chen Feng never had enough time to start.
It took Chen Feng about six seconds to get the ball across half court. Other Spurs players had Heat players standing on one side.
Chen Feng was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that after Wade left the game, the Heat's defense would become even more troublesome.
After the start of the third quarter, the Spurs' outside touch suddenly cooled down. Only Chen Feng made a shot at the beginning of the game. Several other players' subsequent long outside shots seemed to fail to find the basket.
, there was even a bad phenomenon of not being allowed to stick to the three things.
It can be said that the Heat have done a very hard job in defending the Spurs on the perimeter. Especially LeBron James, this guy is a very comprehensive guy. Now that Wade is gone, he needs to step up! So not only offensive ability is needed,
And he worked very hard on defense.
Spoelstra may have wanted to use tight defense to catch up the score difference first, and then change his defensive tactics.
The Heat's defense worried the Spurs. They even had two 24-second offensive violations blocked by the Heat. For the Spurs, this was unimaginable.
Unable to open up the perimeter, the Spurs were not too persistent. Several players rushed into the penalty area mercilessly. After Tracy McGrady and Kawhi Leonard succeeded one after another, the Spurs had more than seven minutes left in the third quarter.
At that time, it achieved a double-digit lead at 66:56.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Heat suddenly fell into a predicament of offensive paralysis. Several main players did an excellent job on defense, but they had little effect on offense. The attack time was unreasonable and there were many missed scoring opportunities.
Yes, if James hadn't succeeded in consecutive singles under the basket, the point difference would have been even wider.
After Heat coach Spoelstra called a timeout, **Vicci was very dissatisfied with the team's current offense. The team's offense in the past few minutes was very unsatisfactory, and the outside attack could not break the deadlock.
The two successful sneak attacks on the inside made the Heat's insiders more alert. I'm afraid it won't be that easy if they want to succeed again.
Chen Feng couldn't tell the pain in his heart. He always thought that Ray Allen was good offensively but much worse defensively. After all, he was older. But he didn't expect that just now, this experienced guy actually posed a great threat to him. He repeatedly
Small actions made him angry, but fortunately he could still control his emotions.
Under the vigorous defense of the Heat players, the Spurs' offense began to look more impatient. Chen Feng's passing was still as sharp, but it could not bring much help to his teammates. He made several hurried shots in a row, and the ball hit the basket.
, the Birds controlled the rebounds in the backcourt very well.
When the Spurs' offense suffered repeated setbacks, the Heat played more solidly. Chalmers always controlled the rhythm of the game. It didn't matter if the fast break was not successful. He immediately entered the positional battle. It didn't matter if the pass was not in place once. The ball was returned.
Passing to the outside, with the ball constantly moving, the Heat carefully looked for opportunities to take action. Such a mobile game was originally a style of play that the Spurs were good at, but now the Spurs' offense is in a mess, and the Heat are playing in a orderly manner.
