Chapter 156: The Third Battle Begins (2/5, Subscription Requested)

For the Heat, the loss of Game 2 in Philadelphia was painful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But for Miami's local media and fans, a loss in the second game was acceptable.

Ian Vindman thinks so: "The Miami Heat lost Game 2, and it was a heavy loss, and it didn't turn out well, but for the Heat, losing this game was just a minor setback in their championship journey. ”

"Two away games, the Heat won one of them, which is enough, the 76ers have lost their home court advantage, and next, the 76ers will come to Miami's home court, in Miami, the Heat will have home court advantage, plus a 1:1 score, the Heat is likely to change the total score to 3:1 after two home games, get the match point. So, overall, the current situation is still dominated by the Heat. ”

Ian Vindman's statement this time did not cause much discussion, because Ian Vindman was right, the Heat grabbed a home game that belonged to the 76ers, and this is the advantage of the Heat.

Unless the 76ers can get a win in Miami, the Heat will hold on to that advantage and eventually win the match point and the entire series.

Therefore, for the 76ers, the next two games are the most important.

The 76ers and the Heat played to a 1:1 draw, and in the other group of matchups in the East, the Pacers are unstoppable, slaughtering the Raptors who finally reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, they won the first game by 17 points, and won the second game by 22 points, with a total of 39 points in the two games, leading the Raptors by a score of 2:0.

In the West, the Spurs also defeated the Trail Blazers by an absolute advantage, one with a 24-point win and the other with a 17-point win, winning the two games by a total of 41 points, and also leading the Trail Blazers 2-0.

In between those two games, Gregg Popovich also accepted an award from Adam Shaw as the best coach of the regular season this season.

The Thunder and the Clippers played not so easily, and in the first game between the Thunder and the Clippers, Kevin Durant accepted the award from Adam Shaw at home and lifted the regular season MVP trophy.

But the trophy was poisonous, and after receiving the award, the Clippers exploded, scoring 69 points at halftime, and in the first half alone, they led by 17 points, and this advantage was maintained until the end of the game, and finally, the first meeting between the two teams defeated the Thunder with the Clippers 122:105, 17 points.

After the game, there were all kinds of jokes, including Westbrook's inner imbalance because Durant won the regular season MVP, so he didn't contribute to this game, and there was also a picture of Westbrook squinting at the MVP trophy, which caused a lot of reprints.

But in fact, Wei Shao's performance in this game was still very good, with 29 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 9 of 14 shots in the game, and 6 turnovers, it can only be said that Wei Shao's defense was not very good, he let Chris Paul shoot 12 of 14, and scored 32 points plus 10 assists in the game, but there were only 2 turnovers.

In the second game, the Thunder found the court and won 112:101 to win back a city.

In the end, the Clippers and Thunder also played to a 1:1 draw in the first two games.

The last two individual honors have been announced, and the only individual honors left for the regular season are one defense and the Rookie of the Year team.

Ahead of Game 3 between the 76ers and the Heat, the league announced the rookie rookie rookie rookie roster of the season this season.

The 76ers' McCarvey was named to the All-Rookie Team team, and in addition to him, the team also included the Jazz's Tree Burke, the Knicks' Tim Hardaway II, the Magic's Victor Oladipo and the Nets' Mason Plumlee.

The All-Rookie Second Team includes the Thunder's Steven Adams, the Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Timberwolves' Gergi Dieng, the Celtics' Kelly Olynyk and the Bobcats' Cody Zeller.

This year's rookie is of poor overall quality, and there are even only four people who average double-doubles in the regular season - Treeback, Victor Oladipo, Tim Hardaway II and McCarvey, a rookie with such poor quality, can be caught by the 76ers A McCarvey is even more unique Samsinki's vision.

On May 10, with the start of Game 3 between the 76ers and the Heat, Sam Xinki also began to be busy with the draft.

This season, the 76ers will have one lottery pick, one non-lottery first-round pick, and two second-round picks, and the task on draft day is still relatively heavy.

For this draft, Sam Xinki takes it very seriously, and he feels that whether the 76ers can turn over and surpass the Heat in terms of strength depends on this draft.

So, while the 76ers flew to Miami en masse, Samsinki flew to Cameroon on a different plane......

On the evening of May 10, 2014, when An Xi and his teammates stood at the entrance of the stadium passage and waited to play, there was an overwhelming shout in the American Airlines Arena, and the air was filled with a strong fanatical atmosphere, An Xi took a deep breath and couldn't help but get excited.

The visitors played first, and the Miamins were not polite to the 76ers, and they sent the craziest boos, and Anxi even heard the abuse from fans on both sides as he rushed through the aisle.

"in Philadelphia, watch out for your ******** you filthy northern savages, lose this game and get out of the American Airlines arena!"

"Self-defeating guys! Do you really think you can win this game? The playoffs are not at all the same as the regular season, and tonight LeBron. James, Dwayne. Wade, Chris. Bosh will show you what a team is made for a championship! ”

……

However, when the Heat players came out, the American Airlines Arena immediately changed its style, cheers came one after another, and LeBron James rushed out of the player tunnel in another place like a king, opening his arms and embracing the cheers of the audience.

The frenzied atmosphere of the away team does have a great impact, An Xi can already see the pale faces of McCarvey and Jack Crowder with the naked eye, he shook his head, this game is destined to be difficult, and An Xi has made all the preparations......

In this game, out of self-confidence, the Heat did not make any changes, and like the public opinion, David Fitzdale and his team agreed that the Heat, who lost to the 76ers in the last game, were an abnormal Heat, and when they returned to their home court, they will definitely not continue such abnormal performances after adjusting to their best.

However, to be on the safe side, David Fitzdale still laid out a few defensive tactics against Anxi, and they decided to wrap Anxi from the beginning of the game.

There were no changes to the starting XI for both teams, and the game officially began when the starters from both sides stepped onto the floor in the centre of the field.

In the opening jump ball, Omir Asik once again beat Chris Bosh and grabbed the basketball.

McCarvey advanced to the front court with the ball, Anxi played without the ball, and at the beginning of the game, Anxi chose to cooperate more with his teammates, so after a short stay in the bottom corner, Anxi rushed out.

He then gave McCarvey a hand-to-hand in the high post, but he didn't take the basketball from McCarvey's hand, just dangled a shot and went around the other side.

Anxi alone attracted the defensive attention of LeBron James and Mario Chalmers, and McCarvey got a golden opportunity, but he rushed inside and missed the layup with the interference of Sean Battier's supplemental defense!

Chris Bosh grabbed the rebound, and Anxi quickly retreated to defense.

McCarvey didn't score the first goal, Anxi created a golden opportunity for him, but McCarvey still failed to score, since entering the playoffs, McCarvey's performance has been declining day by day, if it weren't for the fact that there is no point guard available on the team, maybe McCarvey has already appeared on the bench at this moment.

After all, compared to Shaun Livingston, McCarvey is still stronger in terms of vitality.

Anxi didn't think much about it, turned around and went back to defense, and after preventing the Heat's counterattack, the Heat's offense entered a positional battle.

LeBron James holds the ball from the outside, but instead of doing it alone, he waits until Chris Bosh gets stuck in a decent position on the inside and passes the ball inside.

Bosh was in a good position, he leaned on Asik with his back, turned around, faced the basket, dodged Asik's block after faking the shot, and then put the basketball into the basket very easily.

The American Airlines Arena erupted in huge cheers, the Heat scored first, and Chris Bosh got the game off to a flying start with an extremely smart goal.

LeBron James also grinned, and he received an assist in this round of offense.

So, when Bosh turned back to defend, James waited a little and gave Bosh a high-five, and it seemed that the relationship between the Big Three was quite harmonious.

The 76ers' offense, Anxi directly took over the basketball in the high post, and he wanted to play a ball himself.

In the face of LeBron James's defense, Anxi chose to break through directly.

Against LeBron James's defensive breakthrough, when Anxi rushed outside the penalty area, Dwyane Wade had already wrapped it up and formed a bag for Anxi.

Feeling the pressure given to him by the two Heat superstars next to him, An Xi directly received the ball and made a gesture to throw.

LeBron James and Wade jumped up together and pounced.

But An Xi just made a feint, he put the basketball away, and then jumped a step, flashed a space, and sent the basketball into the basket.

There were no cheers, only a few boos rang out in the American Airlines arena, but fortunately, there was also a commentary set for Turner Sports, and Charles Barkley screamed: "Beautiful goal!" An Xi played the two superstars of the Heat alone! (To be continued.) )
