Chapter 212: Take it lightly
"Toot ~"
The referee blew the whistle for a rematch.
The 76ers served, and Iguodala dribbled across the halfcourt.
Iverson didn't go back to the elbow zone to pick up, but instead came out and took a position on the line, while Iguodala handed the ball straight to Paul Millsap near the free-throw line.
Millsap and Gasol switched roles, and Gasol fell to the low post.
Gasol struggled to get into position, and Jermaine O'Neill was somewhat surprised to find that the Spaniard's chassis was really stable and very powerful, digging like two pillars, firmly imprisoned in the ground.
Gasol received the ball and pulled away within five meters of him.
"Bang!"
He bumped into Jermaine O'Neal, then turned around, his long left arm raised in the air, and flicked it lightly across his body.
Basketball hits the board into the frame.
The simplest, basic, and practical turn hook hand.
But little O'Neill couldn't jump, so he could only give some confrontational interference physically, which was far from the expected effect.
Retreat.
Gasol pointed at Millsap, who passed the ball very well and fed it comfortably, receiving the ball directly in a great position and being able to attack when he turned.
This goal was scored, and the Wajovia Center Arena after the timeout was brought up a lot.
Fans saw the morale of the 76ers' return, and the shouts of "defense, defense" were also more transparent.
"Cheer up! Stay focused! ”
Iverson clapped his hands and looked a little boss.
Wade played aggressively, and he was in perfect shape at this point, asking for the ball in the half, and Haslem blocking high up, Haslem blocking quality was very good, and he also had the ability to shoot from mid-range.
Wade single-block cover and mid-range jumpers.
The basketball brushed out of the frame, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.
The 76ers are fast on the spot, very fast.
Gasol won the rebound, made a long pass with one hand, and directly crossed the entire half, and Iverson, who was running in front, jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air, and immediately became one with the ball and advanced rapidly.
As he advanced, Iverson glanced at Iguodala, who was following him.
The defender didn't have time to think too much, and was deceived by Iverson's feint, and moved his feet, only to find Iverson running straight to the basket and completing an unguarded layup.
"Hurry up!"
The fans at the scene cheered even more, and victory was beckoning to the 76ers.
Spoelstra felt that the tricky problem was finally here, and the Heat's aging and weak interior combination was simply not comparable to the 76ers' formidable interior All-Star partnership.
Wade was still scoring with his own ability, but the 76ers slowly caught up with the score.
When the lead is eaten away by the opponent little by little, the mentality of the Heat players has also changed.
Defensively, Chalmers hit Iverson on the arm and received a foul, which was the Heat's fourth foul of the quarter, and the team's defensive pressure was even greater.
Gasol then drew a foul on Haslem on the inside and hit two free throws safely.
Fortunately, James Jones hit a 3-pointer at this time to stabilize the Heat.
At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers trailed the Heat by 6 points 21-27 at home, although they were still 6 points behind, but the mentality of the players was completely different, and the momentum was on the side of the 76ers, as if it was the Heat team behind.
The second lineup duel, Millsap played a powerful role.
Millsap first held the ball and turned around and hit a jumper, and then passed to Durham Porter for a dunk in the second of the basket; On the defensive end, Beasley's layup was disrupted by Beasley's overall offensive rhythm.
Without Wade, the Heat received a direct pick last season, which is completely two teams.
Soon, the 76ers caught up and overtook the score.
Spoelstra called a timeout in hopes of getting the Heat back on track.
"I'll do it!"
Wade, who had rested for two minutes, stood up and offered to ask.
"This ......"
Spoelstra hesitated slightly, if he played Wade now, Wade would definitely play more than 40 minutes in the whole game, and according to Wade's style of play, can it still be lethal in the fourth quarter?
"Coach, believe me, if you don't adjust, you won't have a chance."
Wade said solemnly, his tone was very heavy, "I know the coach opposite, he is a real killer, the commander on the basketball court, he will not give others a chance, maybe for other teams, the third quarter is the key, but in his hands, now we are in danger." ”
"Okay, but you pay attention to saving your stamina and focus on organization on the field."
Spoelstra nodded, waved his hand, and replaced Wade on the field.
At this time, the 76ers' play has basically achieved the goal of disrupting the opponent's rhythm, and even the regular substitutions have been adjusted, and the situation is more favorable to the 76ers.
"The 76ers have too many people to play. In the bench lineup, you can still make up a star combination like Iguodala + Millsap, and then the strength is not too different from the starting lineup, which is also the terrible thing about the 76ers. ”
CCTV5 guest Yang Yi, who was commentating the game, said.
"Wade is really hard to beat with two fists and four hands!"
Spoelstra said that he was letting Wade play leisurely, but when he really got on the court, how could he maintain absolute calm, and when he saw that the team was behind, he immediately changed to a charging state, killing and injuring a few times, which also made the Heat team's offense much smoother.
At halftime, the 76ers led the Heat by three points, 51-48.
The Heat didn't collapse, but there were too many crises.
Wang Ming sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and carried out dispatch and command without hurry.
Wade has scored 25 points in the half, which is good enough and hard enough, but whether he can still have this state in the second half is a question, and the Heat rely too much on Wade, and once Wade fails, it may collapse immediately.
This is the benefit of a single-core team, but also the disadvantage of a single-core team, and there are very few single-core teams in history who have led a team to win the championship, and this is the reason.
And once a single core completes the feat of winning the championship, it will definitely be canonized as a myth.
The 76ers played better in the third quarter than in the second quarter of the first half, and all three-pointers were opened, including Iguodala, who hit two three-pointers in the third quarter.
The 76ers suddenly pulled away to 82-69 and led by 13 points into the final quarter.
Wade worked hard, starting the fourth quarter, completed two twos and ones in a row, and scored five fouls from Ballam Porter, encountering a foul crisis.
Wade scored more than 40 points, and his individual performance was already impeccable.
At this point, the difference narrowed to 7 points.
After the timeout, the 76ers adjusted, Korver scored a 3-pointer to stabilize the 76ers' morale, and Iverson also hit a mid-range jumper, a wave of 5-0 small high-tide, and the difference was reopened.
After that, Wade could no longer lead the Heat on a comeback.
The 76 Heat defeated the Heat 107-96 at home and won the first win of the first round of the playoffs.
Dwyane Wade is the star of the stars, with a quasi-triple-double of 45 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.
