Chapter 696: Three points of rain for the heat

The shouting, shouting and clapping never stopped, and in the first quarter alone, both sides gave the fans a true finals-level performance.

Anjie and James went toe-to-toe on the court, and the Spurs and Trail Blazers played hard. Heat at Ray. Allen and others hit consecutive three-pointers with the efforts of others, and the Trail Blazers scored back-to-back baskets. It wasn't until the last three minutes of the first quarter that the main players of both teams were all off the court, and the hot momentum finally cooled down.

In the last 2 minutes and 33 seconds of the first quarter, the Heat, without the Big Three, did not score a point. And the second team of the Trail Blazers also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, scoring consecutive points under the leadership of Batum. In the end, the Trail Blazers ended the first quarter with a six-point lead at 20-26.

Batum was out of breath and sweating profusely. I don't know why, it seems that the temperature in the Moda Center is higher than usual today, and even if Batum has only been on the field for a few minutes, he is tired enough.

"It's hot today." An Jie wiped the large sweat particles on his head with a towel on the bench, and when Batum saw this scene, he realized that it was not his physical fitness that was wrong. Maybe the atmosphere of this game really ignited the air around us?

The players on the Trail Blazers' side are sweating profusely, and the Heat, who only have nine players capable of participating in the rotation, are even more tired enough.

After a short break, the Heat's Big Three all planned to play big in the second quarter. In the last two and a half minutes of the first quarter, if the rest of the Heat hadn't scored a point, they wouldn't have fallen behind.

But Spoelstra's arrangement did not go as the Big Three thought.

"Dwayne, you can rest off the court later. Ray, after holding on for a few minutes, went on the court and hit the Trail Blazers with a three-point shot! "Spoelstra didn't plan to replace Wade at the beginning of the second quarter, but wanted to continue to use Ray. Alan.

"Okay boss." Wade has no objection to this, he knows that Spoelstra is all for the good of the team.

"Chris, Rasade, try to avoid attacking the Trail Blazers guys on the inside for a while, I want you to pull to the outside and try to solve the problem outside the three-point line!" Spoelstra then turned his head to Bosh and Lewis, two forwards who had good first-quarter play.

"LeBron, increase your shots from the outside. We all know that the Trail Blazers are most afraid of the three-point shot! No matter who they play against, as long as the opponent's three-point shot can be shot, the Trail Blazers will play quite hard. In the Western Conference finals, the one the Spurs won, relied on three-point shots! So next, we're going to use the three-point shot as the main means of scoring! You guys feel good today, and I hope you can keep it up! "Spoelstra made a gamble, a gamble about the way the players feel.

If the Heat's three-point firepower is too weak in the second quarter, they are likely to be left behind by the smashing Blazers. But if Spoelstra's vision succeeds, by the end of the half, the Heat should be enough to overtake the difference!

A nervous Spoelstra sent the players onto the court, and over there, the Trail Blazers were already attacking in a menacing manner.

Andre. Miller took control of the ball in place of Lillard, and in order to make Lillard's bullet play a bigger role, Ricard absolutely let him rest more off the court. Chalmers finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, although the old Miller's passing and playmaking were particularly good. But at the very least, Chalmers doesn't have to be broken through again.

Hold the ball and go to the left, and the entire Trail Blazers players are moving to the right. Anjie stood in the middle and made a pick-and-roll for Iguodala.

The experienced Iguodala shook off James cleanly, and Miller Sr. waited for an opportunity to throw it, and the basketball flew into Iguodala's hands with the precision of a missile.

Iguodala didn't hesitate, this tactic was done specifically for him. This low-key forward who likes to play dead but has good strength starts to shoot, but James' hard defense still allows him to catch the last train to interfere with the shot.

Iguodala isn't a pure scorer, much less a pure three-point shooter. Being disturbed by James like this, Iguodala's rhythm was slightly affected.

Angel was going to rush into the box to grab an offensive rebound, but he was caught by James' sweep. Protecting rebounds doesn't have to be grabbed in person, and blocking others in advance to create opportunities for teammates to fight for rebounds is also one of the ways to protect rebounds.

The Trail Blazers' first offense ended in failure, but Spoelstra wasn't reassured. The Trail Blazers' three-point shot was missed, but the Heat's three-point shot had to be made.

James continued to possess the ball in place of Chalmers, and Spoelstra allowed him to take the ball for 24 seconds on every offense whenever James wanted to.

But this time, James clearly doesn't plan to go it alone. He first broke through with the ball strongly, and seemed ready to break through Anjie's defense. An Jie is like a great enemy, although he has had the experience of catching James head-on, but this does not mean that An Jie will definitely succeed in defusing James's impact every time.

Just when everyone thought that James plunged into the box to attack the frame himself, the orange basketball jumped out of the crowd.

The basketball went straight beyond the three-point line, where Spoelstra was left on the court. Allen was ready to shoot.

As soon as I got the basketball, I didn't wait for Wesley. Matthews had time to react, Ray. Allen, one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, fired straight away!

Spoelstra in Ray. Allen stood up the moment he shot the basketball, and whether the Heat could get rid of the decline in the second quarter depends on the three-point shot!

Ray, who will turn 39 in just over a month. Allen may no longer be able to change the game by himself like he did back then, but his desire for the championship is as fanatical as a young man like Anjie!

Thunder. Aaron's shot was quick, but the rhythm was disrupted. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc, like a stone silent sea, and the basketball was eventually swallowed by the net.

"Well done!" Spoelstra threw a punch the sidelines, and this ball gave the Filipino coach hope of winning!

Thunder. Allen stretched out his left hand and gestured three fingers. Who would have thought that this guy, who is almost 39 years old, can actually cause trouble for the powerful pioneers.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Ray. Allen's three-pointer opened the door for the Heat. The value of this shot is not only related to those three points, but also this shot has also rekindled the confidence of the Heat players who have not scored for three minutes!

Subsequently, the Heat's touch on the outside began to heat up gradually.

Even big men like Bosh and Lewis hit a shot each from beyond the three-point line. If it weren't for the Trail Blazers' performance on the offensive end, the score gap would have widened.

The Trail Blazers have maintained their lead, while the Heat have continued to hit three-pointers.

The game played 8 minutes and 56 seconds in the second quarter, and at this time, relying on the strong firepower outside the three-point line, the Heat had chased the difference to only one point. As long as the defensive offense is successful this time, the Heat will be able to regain the initiative in the game.

The Trail Blazers have also stepped up their defense from the outside, abandoning their usual strategy of letting go and not letting go of the shots, and launching tight defense outside the three-point line, even Anjie and Aldridge are no exception.

Miller Sr. still calmly controls the basketball, but this time, Chalmers unreasonably launched a half-court pressing defense against Miller Sr.!

Without the advantage of speed and power, Miller is difficult to shake off the opponent in the press, but Chalmers is not willing to take the basketball from Miller's hands.

Indeed, Chalmers alone did not have a way to take Miller. But when Ray. When Allen brushed aside Matthews and headed for Miller, it could have been all different.

Miller caught a glimpse of Ray approaching quietly. Allen, he didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball, because at this point, Wesley. Matthews is unmanned.

However, deliberately leaving such a little passing space for Miller is Ray. One of Aaron's schemes! Old Miller is cunning, but don't forget, Ray. Aaron also has a wealth of experience.

See Miller raise his hand to pass, Ray. Aaron immediately took a lateral step and straightened his arms.

"Oops!" Miller knew something was wrong, but the basketball was out of his hands and nothing could change.

Thunder. Allen made the tackle as he wished and immediately possessed the ball.

Ray, who is 39 years old. Allen couldn't have run through a full half court and put on a fast-break dunk like he had done before.

If you continue to run like this, you haven't reached the three-second zone. Aaron will definitely be overtaken. So, when the passing shooter just ran outside the three-point line, he stopped himself.

"What does this guy want to do!?" Conservative Jeff. Van Gundy grew his mouth, Ray. Allen isn't planning to finish the break from beyond the three-point line!?

Sure enough! Thunder. Allen jumped up from beyond the three-point line, raised his basketball high, and was ready to shoot!

An Jie immediately rushed up from behind, but the basketball still grazed his fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"Ray. Allen made a bold attempt, let's see if this opportunity to break fast will be wasted! ”

Under the gaze of more than 20,000 pairs of eyes on the scene, this three-point shot from the fast break was impartial and fell straight into the net!

"Oh, this fucking ..... Dry! An Jieqiu was in a hurry, and the situation he hated the most was the situation where the opponent threw away from the three-point line. He always thinks that it is difficult to accept that the opponent can still score goals after defending well.

"Great Ray. Allen, after last year's key shot was blocked by Ann. Aaron has finally fought back this year! 42-40, the Miami Heat officially overtook the score! ”

Spoelstra smiled, his choice to bet three points, not wrong!

Rickard called a timeout, and the Heat players rushed in excitement to meet Ray. Aaron hugged.

This bald player wearing the No. 34 black jersey and his face is already wrinkled, and he is like the star of the Heat team at the moment, so loved! At this moment, even LeBron. James, too, can only become Ray. Aaron's supporting role.

The legend of the 96 golden generation is not over yet!

"I can't help it!" An Jie angrily threw the towel handed by the staff to the ground, he was not blaming his teammates, but he was not convinced that the score was overtaken. After all, the Trail Blazers don't do a bad job defensively, but the Heat are always able to shoot three-pointers in all kinds of extreme conditions.

"Oh? It's not often that we see Ann do this. An Jie's angry action naturally can't escape from the photographer's lens.

Seeing the Trail Blazers being beaten so passively and aggrieved, Trail Blazers fans all over the world couldn't help but sweat.

Could it be that the three-point shot and small lineup are really the development trend of basketball in the future? Are even the pioneers going to fall under this trend?

Come on, Anjie, don't be overwhelmed by this three-point rain! Stand up and show the Heat, basketball isn't just about shooting threes!

Fans don't know if their hopes can reach An Jie's mind. But they believed that their king would not be defeated so easily.

"! Isn't it just a three-point shot!? With me on the inside, we can also get a lot of opportunities to shoot three-pointers! An Jie's sudden scolding startled everyone on the bench.

"Stepping up my firepower from beyond the three-point line, I can also launch an onslaught on the inside! I don't believe that the Heat can survive in such a situation! An Jie was really anxious, watching the score difference being approached a little bit and then being overtaken, An Jie was really unwilling.

The Trail Blazers are the defending champions and are the team that went to the tournament with a 72-win record this year. The Heat will, and so will the Trail Blazers!

"Hey, hey." The team was overtaken by the score, but Rickard smirked.

"Spoelstra, Spoelstra, annoyed Anjie, it's enough for you kid to be unlucky." Rickard sighed in his heart......
