Barkley's evaluation was not wrong, and sure enough, Maddie, who had suffered a loss, directly chose to receive the ball with his back in the elbow area.

Holding the ball in one hand and holding Wade on his back, Maddie at this time has unlimited room for action, because no matter how fast Wade's speed is, it can't make up for the fact that he is shorter, and Wade can't touch the ball even if he stretches his arm.

He had to move to touch Maddie's basketball, but the price of walking was that Maddie turned around and wiped it from the other direction.

In the face of Sabonis, a relaxed high board, no matter how strong Sabonis's frame is, he can't do anything, Maddie laughed, this is a revenge.

Barkley coaxed in the commentary box: "My partner Kenny, do you see, although I am retired, my basketball understanding is still a little higher than yours, just like when I was a player." ”

Kenny......

Maddie is unforgiving, his back singles in the left and right elbow areas are really unsolvable, and Wade's single defense is definitely not good, after all, there is too much difference in height.

But on the other hand, Wade won't go toe-to-toe with Maddie, and he still hoisted the ball to the inside. Now Haslem has 4 fouls, but he is just holding on to the court, as long as he is knocked down. The Heat's interior line is about to collapse.

However, even if Haslem is on the field, he can only rely on his strength to defend against Dazhi, and if Sabonis gets the ball, he can only be a stake.

Sabonis took the ball and turned around, his entire elbow could be placed on his face, and with a single hand support, the ball went in.

Riley shouted from the sidelines.

"Cheer up, what kind of defense is this, haven't you eaten today?"

Haslem lowered his head in shame, he didn't care that the other party was indeed much taller than him, he just felt that he hadn't done his job well. As an undrafted pick, he was very grateful for Riley's appreciation and directly mentioned him as a starter, which was a treatment he never dreamed of.

In the next round, Sabonis tried to repeat his old trick, only to find that Haslem was pushing hard against his thigh to prevent him from turning.

It's a pity that Sabonis has skills in addition to brute strength, I saw him take a step forward with his right foot slightly, immediately turned around, and put his arm on top of Haslem's head again.

Haslem remembered Riley's advice, and in desperation, he elbowed Sabonis to the chest with what he thought was covert.

The baseline referee took all of this, but Sabonis was unfazed and threw the ball in a standard manner. The referee also thought it was just a slight blow, and put down the whistle in his mouth.

After Sabonis scored, he looked down at Haslem and opened his mouth to speak.

"This little gesture is against sportsmanship, please don't use it anymore."

Haslem was stunned, is this stupid or naïve, do you say you don't need it, I'll use it next round, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on him at all, this guy is so tall, and his body is as thick as a bear, what to eat has grown up, really.

Hu Qingniu stopped doing it, he also saw this action of hitting the chest, and shouted from the sidelines.

"Referee, this is murder, naked murder, blow in the chest, whistle, whistle!"

But the referee just came over and smiled and persuaded Hu Qingniu not to get excited and retreat to his position.

Just wanted to defend a few words, but when he saw the bald head on the referee's head, he thought of something and immediately shut up. Although this bald head is not the dictatorial referee of Crawford, he is also bald, who knows if they will be relatives, and their tempers are all the same, and it will be worth the loss to give themselves a penalty when the time comes.

As the game continued, Haslem had done his best, but was still sent off with six fouls in the middle of the fourth quarter.

In this case, the Bobcats have a greater advantage on the inside, and Dazhi and Sabonis are simply lying flat on the inside. Dazhi has been personally guarded by Maddie, and Riley really can't send a level of inside. There are a few big men, but all of them are stupid big men with empty ones, no skills, no body, the last one is okay, and the last two are going to block the position of the inner line.

Maddie and Carter's breakthrough space is gone, Riley simply only plays one Grant as the inside, and uses Maddy to target the big forward position, play a four-guard lineup, and strive to play fast.

This is also Riley's all-or-nothing gamble, if it doesn't work, the Heat can directly disarm, and there are too few role players who work. As long as it is after the trade, the season is almost over, and there is no strong veteran for Riley to find.

The Pacers, who can win the first place in the East with this lineup, are already out of luck. Maddie and Carter's various key balls and various hand sensations exploded, and it was only then that the Black Eight of the first round series was born. The main thing is that O'Neal Jr., the Pacers' interior line, is soft and likes to shoot.

That's exactly the type of defense that Haslem likes to defend, and he can get out of O'Neal Jr.'s position and disrupt O'Neal's already bad team coordination with a tireless wave of his hand. Severed O'Neal Jr.'s ties to the team.

But playing the Bobcats, the Heat's only reliable role player, Haslem, is also out of the game, and this is really a cousin playing with a bunch of NBDL-level players.

Although Maddie chased Wade for the whole game, Wade never made a single move with him from beginning to end. Wade thinks very clearly, my team has a big advantage, and the inside line is invincible, why do I go head-to-head with you. It's just that I can win the game safely.

It is this mentality that makes Maddie cry without tears, as long as Wade and him are on the same page, it will be considered a successful strategy. No matter how strong Wade's singles level is, he can't compare with Maddie and Sabonis's offensive efficiency.

Sabonis was running an empty basket in the second half of the fourth quarter, and Grant went up to defend and was directly bounced away.

In the end, the Bobcats won by a full 20 points, 105-85, and if Riley couldn't think of a breakthrough tactic, the series would be over.

Maddy scored a game-high 36 points, Carter also scored 24 points, and the two scored 60 points in 85 minutes for the Heat.

Wade scored just 20 points but had an impressive 18 assists, which is not only Wade's playoff assist record, but also an entire season's assists record, and even a franchise record for the entire Bobcats since their inception.

After all, the assists in this game were too easy to brush, and Wade completely didn't work for himself, so he robbed point guard Alston of the job. Alston only got 2 points and 1 assist in 36 minutes, no way, he just turned back and ran all the time, who let Wade always steal the ball from him.

And the coach asked for a slow pace, and there was no chance of vacancy if he didn't run, and Alston was in a state of having nothing to do on the field, and he watched his teammates play the whole game.

The Bobcats were led by Dazhi and Sabonis, who not only made 3 fouls each, but also scored good statistics.

Dazhi had 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Sabonis was even more terrifying, shooting all 11 of 11, plus 8 free throws, 30 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks. In this series, Sabonis is equivalent to being unguarded, and the outburst is certain.

Hu Qingniu deliberately hid from them in front, and the main attacker was Wade, but this time the power of the inner twin towers shocked the alliance for the first time.

After the game, when asked about the Twin Towers, Hu Qingniu did not evade.

"I healed Mr. Sabonis, who came to the NBA because he had a long period of repeated injuries to his legs, so he didn't come to the NBA at his peak anymore, and I regret that. So, I was going to save him, and I did, and I succeeded, and that's all. ”

"What about Chinese player Wang Dazhi?"

"I just gave him some help, he surprised me, and that's it."
