Paul. Will George play with an injury or will he come back from injury? At the beginning of the game, people still struggled with this question.

But by the time the game reached the fourth quarter, everyone was no longer bothered. Because George's performance in this game was no different than before, the Heat's desire to make a big fuss about George's injury was also stranded.

At this point, the Miami Heat are trailing the Pacers by four points. Unlike the last game, the Heat weren't completely locked up by the defending champions' defense, with James and Wade both playing superstardly. Although the two of them are not enough to score super high points, at least the efficiency is much better than the previous game.

Just now, Wade caught George off guard with a beautiful cut-in back-pull layup. I have to admit that a team with both Wade and James will never become a soft persimmon to be easy to pinch. The individual attack power of these two men alone is enough to make any team's defense a big deal.

But Spoelstra's sad expression shows that the situation on the court at this time is not optimistic for the Heat. Although the Heat didn't let the Pacers pull the score away today, they have never been able to overtake the score. The margin has been hovering between 4 and 8 points, and the Heat seem to have a chance to tie it, but they are always a breath away.

Now, it's the Pacers' offensive round. At this time, Wade no longer dared to completely close to George. Because of the first three quarters of the game, George has already made the "Flash" suffer a lot with his stride meteor breakthrough.

His quick run and brave assault, combined with his big blow to Bosh in the first quarter, showed that there was nothing wrong with his ankle at all. Because even Kobe, who once insisted on playing because of an ankle injury like George, could not have played such a good performance without healing from the injury.

He didn't play with an injury, but came back completely from injury!

Well, it took less than 24 hours to get back from injury.

George singled Wade with the ball from beyond the three-point line, and Wade spread his arms as far as he could, but in George's opinion, such a defensive range was still not worth mentioning. After all, in training, he often has to play against Leonard.

After a bobbing to the left, George pulled the ball to his right. When he saw Wade dragging his heavy knee to move to the right, George suddenly changed hands behind his back and threw the racket to the left!

Two consecutive changes of direction in a short period of time made Wade lose his rhythm. He saw through George's intentions and knew he had to block to the left now. However, his body can't keep up with his brain.

Watch as George bursts into the mid-range, then leaps high before Bosh pounces, throwing in the middle of the shot.

"Brush!"

Basketball is in the net, and George's offensive stability right now is very desperate. His mid-range shooting accuracy is high, especially when unguarded.

"At the 20th point, George had already scored his 20th point of the game. Again, he crushed Wade in one-on-one. Wade's experience became useless in the face of the huge physical gap between the two sides. He played very hard today, but unfortunately George's physical condition was so good that Wade despaired. ”

Mike. Brin shook his fist, expecting George's injury to be a turning point in the series. But for now, the Heat have no room to turn around.

Either they erupt in silence or can only be pushed into the abyss step by step by the powerful defending champions.

George scored, and the margin was stretched to six points. The Heat are stuck in such a loop, being suppressed by the Pacers.

"Henson, you're not going to be in cahoots with George, are you? Yesterday, wasn't that kid hurt at all? It wasn't until the fourth quarter that Vogel had figured out how George had fully recovered from his injury in less than 24 hours.

"Collusion is good? I'm not that boring, Frank. Maybe we used to have to use some tricks to win the championship. But this year, we don't need to do that at all. Besides, the team doctor still has George's injury report. Even if I can deceive people, the team doctor will not deceive people. Henson smiled mysteriously, a stark contrast to the grimacing Spoelstra.

"Then all I can say is that it's a miracle. Did you see that? He performed so well today! ”

"Have we experienced fewer miracles this season? Frank. As I said, nothing can stop us. The Miami Heat can't do it, and neither can the injuries! ”

As Henson and Vogel spoke, the game went on for a few more minutes. LeBron. James didn't want to die in silence, he wanted to be able to explode in silence.

The former Pacers fought back against the Heat with a score of 0-2. And James doesn't have any illusions that he can complete a comeback even after trailing the Pacers 2-0.

He knows exactly what it means for him and the Heat to return to Miami with a 0-2 aggregate score. In any case, he would not allow such a thing to happen. No matter what, he must fulfill his championship dream in Miami! So today's game, he has to win!

So, James began his final struggle.

Break through Leonard's defense, make layups in an unbalanced state, fight for free throws with dangerous falls, try to attract defenses, and then gain space for teammates to attack......

James did everything he could on the court and did everything he could. Even if he is tired and sweaty, even if he has done more than an athlete should bear. But he still didn't give up easily, but took the initiative to carry the entire Heat team on his shoulders.

In Henson's view, James has taken "personal heroism" to the extreme. Mike. Brin also commented: "It's just a collision between the ultimate in individual basketball and the ultimate in team basketball. ”

However, basketball is ultimately a five-person sport. The ultimate team basketball is often more dominant on the court. Especially when the team is still very strong.

Eventually, LeBron. James still fell. Although he is the most physical player in the league, no matter how exciting he is, it is still a mortal body. With a high level of exercise and little rest, James was lifted off the court by his teammates in the final three minutes of the game due to calf cramps.

When LeBron was carried off the court by the team doctor and teammates, the entire Miami fans "chuckled" in their hearts. They know very well that a 0-2 score is inevitable.

"He did everything he could." Watching James go off the court, Henson shook his head. He doesn't know that if he doesn't have himself, LeBron. Could James' Heat career be greater?

After all, looking at the entire East, except for their own Pacers, there is no team that can compete with the Heat.

If the world doesn't have itself, if the Pacers don't have these open-ended badges, then there's a good chance that even the Pacers won't be able to compete with the Heat.

But in the world of competitive sports, there are not so many ifs.

Henson respects James, and he has done everything he can to win. He is only one step away from the championship, and he may only be one step away from surpassing the Pacers. However, competitive sports are just that brutal. There is no mercy here, and there is no softness. Yes, it's just winners and losers.

So, after James went off the court, Henson waved his hand and put Stephenson and Jimmy Brown. Butler took it too.

"Death defense, Coach Henson fielded his proud death defense lineup in the last 3 minutes of the game! With four players named to the All-Defensive Team on the court at the same time, Coach Henson is looking to close the game! ”

Mike. Brin's eyes widened, yes, there was no mercy and no mercy, only winners and losers. Henson must be very aware of the truth in this, so he did not take James off the field lightly, but chased after the victory!

If it were the Heat, they would do the same.

Sure enough, in the final three minutes, the Heat were completely locked in without James. Wade couldn't score in front of the four All-Defensive Players, and a tired Bosh couldn't play to his height advantage.

James returned in the final 1 minute and 30 seconds, and Spoelstra would never have imagined that it was his own players who came on the court with an injury.

However, by the time James returned, the Heat had trailed by 11 points. Equalized by 11 points in 1 minute and 30 seconds, even if LeBron . James is also having a hard time doing it.

After returning, James was very tough and hit a three-pointer first. But alas, this was his best performance in the last 1 minute and 30 seconds.

When the game was over and the rebounds flashed red, the score was 98-89. James did his best to narrow the margin to single digits, but that was about it.

At the end of the game, there was jubilation in the Bankers' Life Arena. Heading to Miami with a 2-0 scoreline, they knew they were going to the Finals when Henson returned with the Pacers!

LeBron. James stumbled to the floor of the Bankers' Living Arena, where he was sitting at the Pacers' logo. This scene is very appropriate, he seems to be trapped in the Pacers, even if he hits his head and bleeds, there is no way to break through the shackles.

This scene has become one of the classic pictures of the banker's life arena. The first person in the league had no choice but to fall, and it has also become the symbol of this arena.

"Cold-blooded Henson. Joe stopped the possibility of a Heat outburst by allowing the Miami to have one foot on the edge of a cliff. Just push a little harder," Mike. Brin shook his head, "Then the Heat will completely fall to the bottom, and then be crushed!" ”

yes, broken bones. The biggest threat in the East has almost been eliminated by the Pacers.
