Lopez and Curry showed off their strength, and the point difference quickly widened to 10 points.
Spoelstra called a timeout.
This game cannot be lost for the Heat!
If we lose this game, there will be no suspense in the series!
But Spoelstra didn't have any good options.
Lopez is very efficient in singles inside, but Bosh is difficult to defend alone. Will the Heat attack from a double flank or not?
Just now, the Heat players were worried that Bosh would be beaten, so they flanked Lopez.
The result is Curry's explosion!
This is a dilemma for the Heat.
Spoelstra is not a god, and he cannot cook without rice!
After the timeout, Wade hit a mid-range shot, allowing the Heat to regain some blood.
The Warriors continued to let Lopez play singles in the low post and Bosh defended alone.
Lopez dribbled the ball and took two steps in, quickly reaching the basket.
Wade quickly came over to attack.
It's not okay to let Lopez wreak havoc at the basket.
Lopez was not reckless and threw the ball to the open space on the outside with one hand - Prince.
Prince caught the ball and shot, and Chalmers quickly pounced on him.
If you have to pounce, you still have to pounce.
Leaving the Warriors wide open for three-pointers from the perimeter is not a good option.
Prince immediately passed the ball to Curry outside the 45-degree three-point line.
As long as Lopez is flanked by the inside, there will definitely be a chance from the outside!
Unless the heat doesn't come out, give up one strategically.
But no player on the Warriors court can be left open.
So Curry will definitely get a chance to take action.
Others can just pounce, but even if they take action, the hit rate won't be very high.
Not Curry!
This is the difference between a historical shooter and an ordinary pitcher!
Curry not only shoots quickly, but also has a high shooting percentage!
If you shoot quickly, it will be difficult to interfere. If you have a high hit rate, you won't be afraid of interference!
The open three-point shooting rate is more than 50%, and even with some interference, it is still 40%!
The three-point shooting percentage of ordinary pitchers is less than 40%, and if it is interfered with, it will be less than 30%!
Coupled with the impact of release speed, ordinary pitchers may only have a 20% hit rate under interference!
Therefore, the rest of the Warriors must pounce, but Curry must not let go!
But that’s easier said than done!
If you have two inside to defend one, there must be room outside!
No matter how fast the defense is, it is not as fast as the speed of the ball!
Curry catches the ball and shoots without hesitation!
This is the confidence of the top shooter in NBA history!
As long as you don't send a person to defend closely, as long as I catch the ball, then take action!
Take action without any hesitation!
It is precisely for this reason that Curry's shooting percentage is so high!
Of course, it can also be said the other way around. It is precisely because of Curry's high shooting percentage that Curry is very confident and his shots are extremely decisive!
The closest person to Curry is James. He is on the right side of the top of the arc, three meters away from Curry.
Seeing Curry taking an open shot, James jumped up and rushed towards Curry without even bothering to scold Chalmers!
Chalmers is too young!
How could he leave Curry to defend Prince?
What a no brainer!
Spoelstra said just now that Curry cannot be released!
Others pounce appropriately, but Curry must not let go!
Curry is the one who poses the greatest threat!
We must not let Curry take action!
How come you forgot?
James is still very calm on the court and judges the situation on the court very accurately.
If you want to pounce, pounce hard!
The kind of defense that makes you miss even a free throw!
James is not very fast. As soon as Curry released the ball, James jumped in front of him.
When it comes to fouling Curry? James never shows mercy!
If you want to commit a foul, commit it hard!
James jumped very fiercely? He hit Curry straight!
Even the fans at the American Airlines Arena opened their mouths in disbelief!
this……
If James bumps into him like this, what if something unexpected happens?
Curry won't be injured, right?
Why does it look like James did it on purpose...
Are fans worried? James doesn’t care about this!
What to do if something unexpected happens?
Cold!
Life or death? Wealth is in heaven!
I'm fighting normally!
If it crashes, just accept your fate!
Accidents are better!
Anyway, the situation is not good? A surprise will only benefit the Heat? There will be no harm!
The further behind the team is, the more they hope for some trouble on the field!
James is the calmest one on the court? He understands this best!
Since my teammates are not doing their best and they all want to be a humble gentleman, then let me be the villain!
Before Curry even hit the ground, James hit him!
Curry had no preparation? He fell directly from the air!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air? It hit the net!
At the same time, James also fell to the ground and looked at Curry with an innocent face.
I did not do it on purpose!
Of course, only I know whether it was intentional or not...
The referee immediately blew the whistle: Three points valid? James fouled and received an additional penalty!
James looked innocent and shouted: "I didn't mean it!"
The referee ignored him.
It’s a foul even if it’s not intentional!
You’ve been playing for so many years and you don’t even know this?
Kirilenko rushed to the referee immediately, pointed at James and shouted: "Did he do it on purpose? This is a flagrant foul!"
Laga Bell and DeAndre Jordan also shouted on the bench: "Trash! LeBron!" "LeBron? I want to x you!"
James sneered and walked away indifferently.
When it comes to calmness, no one can compare to James!
Want to piss off James?
impossible!
Lopez and others came to Curry's side to check on Curry's situation.
Without any preparation, Curry was hit by James and fell down from the air.
Curry twisted his right foot when he landed and looked very painful.
The team doctor came up immediately to check Curry.
Deng Fang shook his head helplessly.
Same time, same plot!
Why is playing against James so dangerous?
The team doctor checked for a while and had Curry pushed down.
Coming to Deng Fang's side, the team doctor whispered: "Curry has sprained his foot. It looks a bit serious. There may be a bone problem. Look..."
After working with Deng Fang for two years, the Warriors team doctor already knows what to do when.
Deng Fang nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Ask Curry to wait for me in the locker room, and I will come right away."
After telling assistant coach Adams what to pay attention to next, Deng Fang quickly walked back to the locker room.
There were only Curry and the team doctor in the locker room. Curry was sitting on the sofa, looking in pain.
Seeing Deng Fang come in, the Warriors team doctor very wisely walked out and closed the door from the outside.
Deng Fang didn't waste any time and first asked Curry to check the system.
"My right foot has a fractured bone and I need to rest for three months to fully recover!" the system replied.
ah?!
so serious!
Deng Fang couldn't believe it.
It doesn’t look like Curry’s fall was serious!
But Deng Fang immediately realized that this was Curry's right foot, the right foot that is most susceptible to injury!
Curry's right foot is indeed very susceptible to injury, and this has been the case historically.
Historically, in 2010, after Curry stepped on Griffin, the ankle plot of his NBA career began.
Curry sprained his ankle during a game that same year and later ended up in the operating room.
Historically, in the 2011-2012 season, Curry sprained his ankle while dribbling against the Mavericks.
Curry sprained his ankle five times this season and had another surgery in April 2012.
Curry sprained his ankle at least three times during the 2012-2013 season.
Then he was healthy for three years, won a championship and was awarded the MVP.
In 2016, Curry sprained his ankle again in the first round of the playoffs.
In the 2016-2017 season, Curry's ankle was healthy and he finally won the championship!
In the 2017-2018 season, Curry suffered a total of four ankle sprains, all of which were on his right foot.
…
In other words, Curry's right foot is very fragile and can be injured if he is not careful.
Deng Fang could only treat Curry's illness, but he could not prevent Curry from getting injured.
Curry has played very little time this season, less than thirty minutes.
Even so, Curry was injured twice.
Fortunately, Deng Fang is here.
Deng Fang didn't waste any time and took the time to cure Curry's illness.
Although bone fractures are not as scary as fractures, they still require a lot of time to rest.
Without Deng Fang, Curry would be out for the season.
A few minutes later, the two returned to the bench.
Deng Fang glanced at the big screen. Three minutes had passed in the second quarter, and the score was 35:33!
The Warriors led by 10 points before Curry came off the court, and in the blink of an eye, the difference was only 2 points!
Assistant coach Adams gave Deng Fang a brief introduction to what had just happened.
After Curry came off the court, the Heat immediately regained their energy and began to attack Lopez frantically. They also attacked fiercely from the outside.
Without Curry, the Heat move very quickly, making it difficult for the Warriors to take outside shots.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Heat see hope of winning!
Deng Fang is amazing, but who knows what will happen this time?
Curry was pushed down and couldn't even walk!
No matter how powerful Deng Fang is, Curry probably won’t be able to play in this game, right?
The Warriors with Curry and without Curry are not the same team at all!
Replacing Curry's Lowry is good, but it's only good!
Under the Heat's pressing defense, the Warriors made consecutive mistakes, and the Heat launched several counterattacks!
Especially James, who took the lead in the charge and dunked two consecutive baskets in the counterattack, releasing all the suppressed evil energy!
The difference is only 2 points!
Deng Fang quickly called a timeout.
If Curry doesn't come back, this game will probably be decided!
After the timeout, Curry came on the stage and the Warriors started again.
This game must be won!
Don't give the Heat any chance!
Deng Fang issued a death order!
The Warriors started the game, and the Heat also changed their starting lineup: Chalmers, Wade, Mike Miller, James, and Bosh.
Curry, who returned with full blood, singled out Chalmers and made two three-pointers as soon as he came up!
A three-pointer after a feint, and a super long three-pointer!
I'm back!
You can't beat us!
Curry announced his return with action!
The score difference quickly widened to 8 points!
The Heat began to double-team Curry.
As long as Curry holds the ball, the Heat will double-team Curry.
It was just a pinch knockdown, but the Heat kept giving Curry physical contact.
At best, it's physical contact; at worst, it's bullying Curry!
Bump, pull, pull, push, push!
Slaps, elbows, iron knees, whatever you can use, just call Curry over!
Especially James, he "led by example". When Curry came to help defend, his big elbow took care of Curry twice in a row!
I'm protecting the ball, not pushing people!
Meeting you was an accident!
After hitting Curry just now, the referee only gave James a common foul, which made the Heat players even more arrogant.
This is our home court!
As long as you don't kill him, you'll be fine!
The Alliance wants us to win!
Then what are you afraid of!
The Heat made a lot of moves, especially when defending Curry!
In just 3 minutes, Curry fell to the ground four times!
After what happened just now, the Heat players understood a truth: as long as Curry is eliminated, we can win!
During the timeout, Spoelstra also kept emphasizing the need for intensity and confrontation!
Especially defending Curry!
Don't let Curry move at will!
Use whatever tricks you can, don’t be afraid!
We can win by limiting Curry!
The Heat are making big moves, and the Warriors certainly won't back down!
During the timeout, Deng Fang told him several times: Don't be afraid, whatever the Heat do, we will do the same!
If they dare to take action, so can we!
The fine is mine!
I'll pay the fine!
The brothers on the bench are already ready!
Even if the first starter is punished, it won’t be a problem!
Just do it!
Both teams made great moves, and the referee's whistle kept sounding.
Although the referee obviously favored the Heat, as the Warriors' actions continued to increase, the referee also began to call the Heat fouls.
It can’t be too obvious!
The same foul action, if one side calls it, the other side always has to think about it!
If you favor the Heat too much, there will probably be a fight soon!
The one who is horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the one who is stunned is afraid of losing his life!
The Warriors' style of play is completely life-threatening!
You can call the referee whatever you want, but I’m not afraid anyway!
If you can, punish us all!
See who is afraid!
Look who is embarrassed!
Anyway, we will return all the moves that the Heat dare to do!
In just 4 minutes, Curry received 2 fouls, Lopez and Kirilenko also received 3 fouls, and Prince and Tucker also received 2 fouls!
In total, Curry has committed 4 fouls!
The person with the fewest fouls was Tucker, who also had 2 fouls!
The Warriors committed many fouls, and the Heat kept getting to the free throw line. With free throws, the Heat kept clinging to the score.
But the referee's whistle has gradually become more friendly to the Warriors.
This is exactly the result Deng Fang wants!
Deng Fang is really not afraid!
We have the strongest bench lineup in the league. Even if we can’t even play in the starting lineup, the bench can also play!
Besides, the referee would never dare to send off all the starters!
In that case, the alliance will become the biggest joke!
The competition was very intense, with people from both teams falling to the ground constantly.
The Warriors mainly focus on Lopez. As long as the Heat attack from a flank, Curry and others will have a chance to shoot three-pointers.
The Heat have no good solution, except to attack from a flank and speed up the defense!
The main scoring points for the Heat are Wade and Bosh.
After a quarter of adjustments, Wade regained his touch and hit three or four mid-range shots.
Bosh also hit Lopez several times in the low post.
If you can't defend yourself, attack!
Bosh's offense is still fine.
As for James, he became depressed again under the Warriors' targeted defense.
Just now, they scored 4 points through counterattack, but now the Warriors focus on the inside, the pace has slowed down, and there are fewer mistakes. The Heat can't counterattack, and James can't score.
