Chapter 584: Defending the Battle of the Heat!
In the second quarter of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers took advantage of the loose state of the Miami Heat and attacked a wave of crazy attacks!
Gradually, the Heat began to be overwhelmed, and in the end, Riley had no choice but to ask for a timeout again.
Riley, with gray sideburns, gradually showed some anger on his face at this point, but it quickly disappeared when the players returned.
It stands to reason that what they should do most in this quarter of the game is to take advantage of the victory to chase down this team called the Philadelphia 76ers!
It's like when a key game has just begun, when it's a tailwind, and the opponent has no ability to fight back.
The most important thing to do is to take advantage of the opponent's immobility, bring it over in a wave, and win the game directly.
At this point in the game, the point difference is not a small pressure on the players of both teams.
If the score difference is very huge and the opponent's fighting spirit is not high, he will basically win.
But what I am most afraid of is that the opponent is still holding on, and the rhythm of the game is gradually controlled by the opponent......
No matter what kind of competitive competition, in the case of no absolute crushing in theory and practice, there will be the possibility of a reversal!
This is also the very attractive part of the competitive game, you don't know what will happen in the next second, and the two teams collide in the constant game!
There are joys and sorrows, but let's compete again in the next game!
Riley's thinking now is that the first round is over right away, and the best result is a sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Because this team is completely different from last season, it can be said that this season's 76ers are like a strong team in the East!
Just because of Li Feng! The whole team is in a strong mood to win.
41:39! Wade's emotional ups and downs at this time are also a little big.
Now he doesn't say that he can retire at any time, and he is leading the team to play this role this season, which is a little difficult to ride a tiger.
I originally thought that if the team couldn't make the playoffs this season, then I would retire directly on this stage.
Very good result, the rapids retreated. There are still a lot of things to do in the future, traveling with his family, attending many activities, and various arrangements after retiring also make him a little excited.
But what I never expected was that my team actually rushed to the third place in the East!
The late game Miami Heat is a variety of comers!
Win one game when you see one team, win one game when you play!
Heat fans are going crazy! In the game, it is true that the current Heat, after two years in the first round, the team's new lineup has actually begun to take shape.
It's not particularly great at scoring, but it's true that the current Heat team is doing a good job defensively, as long as they suppress the opponent's scoring.
This team will be able to fight back immediately, and the Heat are still a little overwhelmed by the current three teams like the Western Spurs, Lakers and Warriors......
The Miami Heat management has also thought about it this season, and basically the best outcome is that the Eastern Conference championship trophy is in hand.
Because of the top teams in the West, they don't have much confidence.
The Toronto Raptors are also an exceptionally strong team, so the ultimate goal is to beat the Raptors in the semifinals.
......
Riley: "We're running out of chances, that's okay.
In the second quarter, I just changed my request to lead the opponent, Wade, listen to me, we are not the time for the opponent to go head-to-head.
The second half is your showtime, and I'll leave it to you to take care of it, okay? ”
When he was still very young, Riley, who was dressed in a suit and had shiny black hair, was very optimistic about Wade!
After so many years between the two, Wade felt that he had to turn the situation around immediately.
But Riley's opinion is the opposite of Wade's, what he thinks is that now the other party's momentum has risen and he can't compete with him.
Wade looked at Riley's inquiring expression.
Although Riley must complete his idea at this time, he still has to give way to Wade.
Because the two are old partners, but Wade immediately softened his attitude when he encountered such a tone.
Without saying anything, he handed over the staff's towel and walked back to the direction of the bench.
Seeing that Wade's side didn't stick to his ideas, Riley breathed a sigh of relief.
Then ask the player you asked to come and play the next game right away.
Ellington and Wade passed each other and came to a stop next to the manager.
Then Kelly, Dragic and Adebayo also walked over.
Except for Winslow, who is very strong, the rest of the players have all been replaced!
Brown: "I think the same thing as Li Feng, and now playing against the Heat, dragging the opponent's rhythm is the best way to play.
Don't do the rest, just follow in the footsteps of your opponent.
But...... If the opponent's main players are replaced, we must overtake the opponent in the first half of the game! This is the minimum requirement. ”
As he spoke, Brown immediately thought of this, and then immediately said it.
Booker was then brought on for Saric.
If the best first-year student on the Philadelphia side this year is Kuzma, then the best first-year on the Miami Heat side is Bam Adebayo.
Coach Brown is worried that the team will replace him to play, and Bam Adebayo has been an excellent blue-collar striker this season!
Although not as strong as Kuzma's score!
But he has maintained a very stable and high level of performance in confrontation, defense, rebounding, offense, coordination and other aspects!
At this point, he can be said to be fully qualified for the position of the team's second-team power forward!
The team also pays special attention to him this season, because it is only a matter of time before the Heat will play with a new lineup.
Soon the opposite player came on the field, and Coach Brown immediately became serious when he saw Adebayo on the field.
He really guessed it. The main reason for letting Booker go up is to worry about this, and Kuzma's words may not be able to take advantage of Adebayo.
Booker and Kuzma can swap positions right away.
In terms of flexibility, Brown has made some enhancements.
One is defensive and the other is an offensive striker.
Seeing Dragic on the court, Brown thought that the first half of this game was still dominated by follow-up.
It is almost impossible to overtake each other.
But the Philadelphia 76ers players who came on the court, after seeing Wade go down, thought about how to overtake the Miami Heat in this quarter of the game.
Because the coach said that the opponent has too many substitutions, the minimum requirement is to overtake the score!
The two sides immediately got into the game.
Dragic was noticeably more careful than he was when he first came on, and the Heat were very organized.
Booker and Adebayo were in the card several times, but they were unsuccessful.
The other party has always been in a state of initiative, which makes Booker feel very unhappy!
But the other party is indeed doing better than him now, and Booker can only run back and forth under the basket.
Then Ellington got the basketball, saw Winslow coming, directly used his body as a cover, and got up to make a three-pointer!
The fans at the scene immediately boiled!
Although the current Philadelphia 76ers players are still a little uncomfortable, after playing for a while, playing in this environment is still better than at the beginning.
The players on the Heat's side are very excited, because the data in the regular season and the data in the playoffs are completely different.
Every player wants to get some more stats out in the playoffs!
As long as Wade doesn't play now, their chance will come, so at the beginning of the game, the four new players on the Heat side are very excited!
Lonzo dribbled the ball up front and then played against Dragic, who was a little weaker in the confrontation and was already a veteran at this point.
But in terms of playing experience, Ball is still a young man.
Failing to keep Dragic off on a couple of occasions, the latter suddenly picked up and used his rhythm to easily get past Ball.
then pretended to pass the ball, and directly stopped and jumped to score three points!
After the timeout on the opposite side, a wave of 6:0 small climax came directly.
Li Feng gestured for a request and looked at the scorer.
47:39! If the opponent continues to play like this, the suspense of the game will be lost immediately, and Wade is still sitting on the sidelines.
Li Feng came directly by himself, and under the bag of Dragic and Ellington, he broke through directly.
Then let Kelly get a foul and go to the free throw line and hit 2 free throws!
Bauer was also a little panicked at this time, Dragic, you look right in front of you, but you just can't prevent him, the same way and position.
Dragic immediately came back for another 2-pointer!
Li Feng patted him on the shoulder and signaled to change the defense, Ellington, a player, was still more relaxed.
And Li Feng said something in Bauer's ear, and Bauer immediately nodded in agreement.
Dragic lowered his body and waited for Li Feng to dribble, and then the two began to entangle!
In the face of Li Feng's footsteps, Dragic was not chaotic at all!
In the end, Li Feng was completely defended by Dragic and had no way to pass the ball to Kuzma.
But the pants were similar to what Li Feng thought, and he passed the ball back directly, Dragic was startled, and Ellington was closer to Li Feng at this time.
came up to wrap Li Feng, and the basketball flew to Ball, who got up and went into the net with three points!
The speed of the Heat's offensive and defensive transition increased, and Adebayo received a long pass from Dragic in the frontcourt, and then directly deducted the points!
51:44! Although the Heat team has made a big adjustment to the lineup, it has improved a lot in terms of game stability!
This time Ball didn't have three points, Dragic seized the opportunity to rush to the front court quickly, Ellington received the ball and hit the three-point shot!
Looks like Ellington is feeling good tonight!
Then Li Feng let Dragic receive a foul and hit all 3 free throws!
Dragic went back with a three-pointer!
Li Feng and Bauer still cooperate very well, but when the opponent is not paying attention, Li Feng throws the ball directly to Kuzma.
The latter jumped directly into the basket with a three-point shot! 57:50! The first half of the game is over!
At the end of the second quarter, the players on the Philadelphia 76ers side walked back quickly in the direction of the locker room.
Basically, when I went back, I quickly went into a state of rest, and after a while, the intermission ended.
At this time, the players of the Heat team returned to the court, waiting for the third quarter of the game to begin!
In their home game, the Philadelphia 76ers still want to win?
Tonight's game is to defend the Heat! Wade felt that this game must not be lost!
Not long after, the game came back in the third quarter, and the lineup on the Heat's side was Kelly, Adebayo, Ellington, Dragic and Wade!
The Philadelphia 76ers lineup has been adjusted to Ilyasova, Booker, Sherlock Holmes, McConnell and Li Feng!
Coach Brown sat next to Bayless and chatted with him about the game.
In the third quarter of the game, Li Feng would let him play about half the time because of physical reasons, and then replace Bayless.
This quarter of the game is very important for both teams!
The Heat tried to directly collapse the 76ers in the third quarter!
The Philadelphia side's style of play remains the same as in the second quarter, but it has increased in difficulty.
It's not easy to stay behind by about 5 points.
Embiid and Kuzma were sitting side by side on the sidelines at this time, and the Philadelphia 76ers players were already looking to Simmons.
Simmons' jump shot has improved dramatically this season!
The main reason is that Kobe Bryant asked him to increase his shooting training, and Simmons also felt that there was a lot of pressure this season, so he carried out crazy shooting training!
Simmons' own passing ability is very strong, coupled with the strengthening of his shooting ability, so his stability on the court this season has also improved a lot.
If he hadn't been hurt now......
Simmons was injured and Holmes had to take his place, but Holmes has been an average blue-collar striker this season.
Wade looked at Adebayo, who was a first-year student but was very strong and sturdy, and smiled.
Patting him on the back, the two of them walked up together.
Bam Adebayo has a very reliable feel, and that's exactly what he does on the field.
Wade also felt a little more grounded when he saw him.
Riley also told Wade just now that Adebayo is a player who will play with Whiteside in the fourth quarter!
When Wade heard this, he felt that this game was basically stable!
With Li Feng's game, Wade is somewhat bottomless in his heart.
Because Li Feng has become one of the players who has been talked about a lot in the lore game in the past three years!
When thinking of lore, fans generally think of Kobe, he Wade, and a bunch of first-line players.
But now fans will immediately think of Li Feng, because in the team with Li Feng, there are a lot more games to kill or overtake!
At the beginning of the game, the fans at the scene frantically shouted for Wade who held the ball!
Li Feng asked McConnell to defend Dragic, and before Li Feng could finish speaking, Wade rushed directly to the basket but was immediately blocked by Booker!
Bam Adebayo received the ball and scored points with a one-handed split!!
That's one of the reasons why Wade and O'Neal teamed up to win the championship that year!
Wade's personal speed is too fast! Even at his age, it's still hard to prevent him!
The on-site players of the Heat team have a much more serious expression on their faces at this time!
They want to open up the difference in the third quarter of the game! Then the final quarter gave the Philadelphia 76ers a painful blow!
It's not that whoever enters the playoffs can play well!
Philadelphia 76ers ......
A team that has long since withdrawn from the ranks of the playoff powerhouses dares to compete with them for the right to appear in the first round of games?
If we can win the Eastern Conference championship trophy this season, the confidence of the players in next season's game will definitely increase a lot!
Play well and they will still be a strong team next season!
The key question is who can take Wade's place.
Heat management is probably going to take some time to find out.
Wade immediately waited for Li Feng in the backfield, and the heat of the scene also rose!
