Spoelstra was okay with his team's performance in the first half, although only one point ahead of the Pacers. But at the end of the day, it proves that the pace of the game is under the control of the Heat.

Before the start of the third quarter, Spoelstra was interviewed from the bench. Since Adam. After Xiao Hua came to power, the coach gave a lot of sideline interviews. In the past, there was basically only one half-time interview and one post-match interview. And now, if the reporter wants to, they can interview the head coach before the start of every quarter.

Undoubtedly, this will make the alliance more commercial and more exposed. Of course, it also greatly increases the risk of being slapped in the face after saying the wrong thing.

'We did well because we were playing away from home. But in the first half, we didn't give the Pacers any advantage, and in the second half we will continue to try to maintain control of the game. ”

Before the start of the third quarter, Filipino coach Spoelstra spoke to reporters. Of course, the Heat head coach doesn't know how wrong his words were

"Coach Henson changed the lineup, and he used Ray. Allen replaces Leonard. There is no doubt that Ray. Allen could make the Pacers' three-point firepower stronger. But equally, Leonard's defensive ability is also Ray. Aaron can't compare. Coach Henson's purpose is clear, he wants to step up the attack! ”

Mike. Brin is worthy of being a veteran commentator, and he can see Henson's purpose at a glance. Of course, Spoelstra could also see Henson's intentions. It's just that he can't figure out why Henson would suddenly step up his offense?

In the first offensive of the third quarter, because Leonard was off the court, the person who played against James became George. George holds the ball himself and calls for a cover breakaway.

But his real purpose is not to attack himself, but to attract the defense.

The Heat focused on Ray. Allen and George, but George passed the ball to West, who stayed in the high post after the cover. Henson didn't say anything about Ray. Allen must be Ray when he plays. Aaron shot.

West shot a step from the three-point line, and Battier, who came on as a substitute for Haslem, couldn't get back at all. Even if he rushes back, Battier is at a disadvantage in terms of height.

A simple but effective tactic that allowed the Pacers to score their first point in the second half. At the same time, it also surpassed the Heat by one point.

But neither Spoelstra nor the Heat paid attention to this. After all, in the first half of the game, the two sides kept going back and forth. Spoelstra believes the game is still under his control!

After the next round, Wade prepares to find Ray. Aaron this point to fight. But Paul and Ray. Aaron changed positions, Ray. Allen went to block the less threatening Chalmers, and Paul personally played against Wade.

Although Paul does not have an advantage in height, Paul's core strength is indeed very terrifying. It seems that this is a misalignment, but in the physical confrontation, Wade was stunned and did not take advantage of the slightest.

In the end, Wade's layup was deflected by Paul's interference, and the Heat couldn't keep the score up!

Although Henson's lineup in the third quarter was offense-oriented, it didn't mean that the Pacers' defense would collapse.

When it comes to the Pacers, even a fool would say that they are a team that relies on strong defense and quick counter-attacks to win. It's a trait of the Pacers and the style Henson brings to this team. So even if Henson now demands that the team go all out on offense, that trait isn't going away.

Wade shook his head in annoyance, then quickly backed away. Thunder. As soon as Aaron got closer, Wade posted it. He believed that Henson Perley. Aaron didn't come up to hide it. If it weren't for the three-point firepower, there would have been no thunder at all. Aaron's Necessity!

Seeing Paul dribble past half court, Wade immediately forced Ray. In front of Allen, there was no room for him to connect the ball. Paul looked at Ray. Allen glanced at it, but it was the ball that was hoisted into the penalty area. Or David. West, he's going to single Battier!

In the third quarter, Spoelstra brought on Battier to replace the equally aged Haslem as soon as he came up. However, it gave Henson the opportunity to play inside. With Spoelstra fielding more and more substitutes, there are more and more points for Henson to attack.

Henson was surprised by Haslem's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the captain of the Heat, who was almost just paddling in the regular season, played well with his toughness and tenacity in the Eastern Conference Finals. Defensively, in particular, Haslem hasn't had a game where West has ever been comfortable.

However, at this time, the defender of West suddenly changed from Haslem to Battier, and the pressure on the "17-foot assassin" was not so great. Although Battier has often played the No. 4 position since joining the Heat, he does not have the ability to fight at the No. 4 position.

And Ray. Allen, Paul, George and Horford pulled the rest of the Heat away, and West got a chance to single Battier in the low post!

West leaned back roughly, unceremoniously! In this series, Battier and West are already on fire. West's elbow that broke Battier's nose is still fresh in Henson's memory. Of course, Battier himself is not clean, and Horford is particularly worried about his nakedness every time he encounters Battier.

But this time, no matter how tough Batil is, there is no way to resist the difference in strength between the two sides. West pushed Battier into the box, and Battier felt a tightness in his chest, but there was nowhere to complain. Finally, at a very close distance to the basket, West turned and hooked his hand, and the basketball hollowed into the net, which was not too easy.

After the goal, West opened his arms and said, "Why is there no pressure at all?" Expression. Battier rubbed his aching chest, then picked up the basketball in reluctance. The Heat had such an embarrassment last season, but after a year, Battier couldn't have suddenly become stronger. On the contrary, as he grew older, Battier's ability to fight declined.

4-0, this time, Spoelstra had to pay attention. He made Joe. Anthony went to the technical bench to prepare, and he couldn't let Battier stay on the court, and he couldn't let the rotation be broken.

It's okay, LeBron. James forced George to hit a layup, which stopped the bleeding for the Heat. But that wasn't enough, and Horford sent a quick baseline kick immediately after James scored. In the blink of an eye, the Pacers attacked, and even the live cameras couldn't keep up with the speed of the attack. The ball had already been passed across half court by Paul, but the camera was still focused on James.

Henson was delighted to see the players with such a desire to attack, and they really took their words to heart.

George received Paul's quick layup and went straight to the basket, and Wade and James struggled to pounce on George. After all, these two guys are both masters of chasing after them.

However, halfway through the chase, Wade suddenly felt a chill in his heart! He suddenly came to a sharp stop, and then ran to the outside! But it was already too late, George broke through the ball, and Ray. Allen got his first chance in the third quarter of the game! He didn't forget to glance at Wade when he received the ball, and then with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. Ray, one of the league's greatest goalscorers. Aaron jumps, presses his wrists, flicks his fingers, and shoots

By the time Wade sealed it, the basketball was halfway there. Spoelstra stared nervously at the basketball, but he didn't have the mental strength to change the trajectory of the basketball with his gaze.

"Brush!"

Henson closed his eyes, and the sound of the Nets tumbling was uncomparably pleasant to him. With a 5-point advantage, the team is starting to gain momentum!

Glancing at Spoelstra, Henson saw that he still had no intention of calling for a stoppage. Maybe it was James' forced layup just now that gave Spoelstra confidence, no, Spoelstra has always been confident in this game. Just look at what he said in the third quarter.

But today, Filipinos are undoubtedly overconfident! At this time in the last game, Horfodra's stomach went to the toilet, and "Birdman" Anderson was a little unable to control his emotions. So, the Heat seized the opportunity to score a lot of points on the inside.

Available today

"LeBron once again chose to force a breakthrough through George, and Horford was already waiting on the inside! We don't know if it's a defensive trap on Coach Henson's side. Maybe from the very beginning, George deliberately guided LeBron to break through to the inside! "Mike. Brin has a fierce eye, and he can always see through the careful thinking of these managers.

James hit Horford head-on, but Horford's defense has always been clean, which is very different from Anderson.

James stops the ball in the penalty area, and as soon as he stops the ball, he will fall directly into a state of being trapped. In the midst of a panicked and strong confrontation, James' center of gravity was unstable and fell to the bottom line.

At the last moment, the Heat's No. 6 smashed the ball at Horford, intending to keep possession of the ball after the ball popped out.

As everyone knows, Horford reflexively dodged, and the basketball hit Bosh right on the leg. Bosh leaped to save the ball, but his fingertips poked it out.

People in the penalty area turned on their backs, but there was no goal. James's cleverness didn't come in handy, and the Heat's offense still ended in mistakes!

Taking advantage of this dead ball, Spoelstra was replaced by Joe. Anthony, hopefully he can withstand Henson's inside attack. Henson smiled, then winked at Paul.

Joe. Anthony only, little meaning!

The difference of 5 points has already made Spoelstra a little nervous. But seeing that this time the Pacers were forced to fall into position to attack, he was instantly relieved. The Indiana Pacers have never been a team that wins by attacking from the ground, as long as they can defend this shot and take advantage of opportunities on the offensive end, the margin will be narrowed again!

Joe. Anthony was waiting for the battle, and he thought that West would still sit on the inside and play hard. But this time, West didn't have his back to the position, but went up to the three-point line!

Joe. Anthony was clearly ready for a tough battle, but unexpectedly, the situation was unexpected. He had to follow, and it turned out that West had gone to cover for Paul.

Joe. Every time Anthony could react, Paul rushed out from behind West! Paul is very fast, it's just that he doesn't win with speed most of the time, so a lot of people overlook that.

Joe. Anthony scrambles to make up for it, intending to stop Paul. Paul, on the other hand, jumped early, made a light pick in the air, and took the initiative to go to Joe. Anthony leaned back.

On tricks and routines, Joe. Anthony was a brother to Paul!

"Toot toot!" The referee's hurried whistle is coming!

Paul fell, curled up, rolled around the floor, and the Spalding basketball went into the net with Paul's soft wrist and feel!

"Hit a three, Chris. Paul's resolute breakthrough earned him a chance to hit a three-pointer! As soon as the game came up in the third quarter, the Pacers' offense was very fierce! If the free throw is hit, the Pacers will go on an 8-2 run. "Mike. Brin touched his chin after saying that, he always felt that something was wrong, and that was not how the Pacers played in the first half. In the third quarter, they seemed to have become more aggressive.

Henson was still sitting on the bench, not looking very excited. Because the Chinese-American coach knows very well that this is just a warm-up for the Pacers' offensive frenzy in the third quarter of the game. The real offensive is yet to come.
