1212. Home court advantage for the Heat

On May 27, 2006, at the American Airlines Center in Miami, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Hawks and the Heat began.

The Heat, who returned to their home court, played an unprecedentedly strong performance today!

They can't afford to lose anymore, and if they lose again, it's over.

Back at home, the Heat's home-court advantage showcased.

If there is a big disparity in strength, home-court advantage is useless, just like the Cavaliers have a lot of home whistles.

But the strength of the Hawks and the Heat is not much different, mainly because Wade is undefensible, which narrows the gap between the two teams to a negligible level.

At this time, the role of the home whistle is obvious.

Just like the second game, the Heat team was helpless after Liu Mang's outbreak, a little change can bring a huge change to the series between the Hawks and the Heat.

By Game 3, the Hawks were much less tolerant of some illegal pick-and-rolls, while the Heat had more whistles under the basket, and O'Neal made a lot more free throws after being violated.

The Heat made 37 free throws, including 18 for O'Neal and 14 for Wade.

Relying on O'Neal's 32 points and Wade's 34 points, the Heat had a slight lead from the beginning of the game, and by the end of the second quarter, O'Neal scored nine points in a row, suddenly stretching the gap to more than 10 points.

Liu Mang scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists on 8-of-24 shooting, Maddie scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists on 6-of-18 shooting, and Jason Terry scored the Hawks' highest score of 25 points.

But back at home, in order not to be rough on the defensive end of the 3-0 Heat, this is the home court of the Heat, some of the Hawks' home whistles are gone, the Heat have a home whistle, and the Hawks' scoring efficiency today is very average, with a team-wide shooting rate of 39 percent.

The Heat's shooting percentage is not much higher, 43 percent shooting, O'Neal would not have been able to see O'Neal's 10-of-26 shooting percentage as a center if he hadn't made a "shocking" 67 percent of his free throws.

When it's time for O'Neill to fight hard, he's really powerful! Even though he is 34 years old, he is still the top two center in the league.

The Heat maintained a 10-point lead from the end of the second quarter, and with two minutes left, the Hawks surrendered with their main substitution.

In the end, relying on Wade and O'Neal's combined performance of 66 points, 13 assists and 20 boards, the Heat held the first home court and won 101-91, making the big score 1-2, avoiding falling behind 0-3 and avoiding the possibility of being swept away.

……

The first game when he came to the away side was lost, the Eagles were mentally prepared, and the second game was not so easy, if it wasn't for Liu Mang's madness in the last quarter, the second game might have been lost.

Game 5 of the Hawks-Heat series is scheduled for June 2 due to Game 5.

The Hawks, for their part, felt the kind of malice from the league that the Mavericks felt......

After the third game on the Hawks' side, on May 28, the third game between the Lakers and the Mavericks began.

As a fan of the Mavericks and Lakers, you need a quick-fix pill......

In the first game of the Western Conference finals, Lakers fans felt that they were going to sweep the Mavericks, but after the second game, Lakers fans were almost sent to the hospital for rescue, at which time Mavericks fans thought the team was going to turn the tables 4-1.

But in the third game, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming were furious, I don't know if I saw O'Neal Fawei actually have a free throw shooting rate of 12 of 18 free throws, Kobe Bryant got 25 points, 12 assists and 6 steals, Yao Ming got 37 points and 15 boards, and the two of them were powerful and led the Lakers to press the Mavericks to the ground and rub ......

109-89, Bryant got a double-double while defending Jamal Crawford to 1-of-9...... Crawford, who shot 7 of 10 three-pointers in the last game, didn't score one three-point shot today, and 0 of 6 shots were suspected by Kobe Bryant.

Yao Ming has a very magical place, every time he goes to the away game to play the Mavericks, he will inexplicably play very well, better than playing the Mavericks at home, with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, before Yao Ming is going to be replaced, Yao Ming stands outside the three-point line, Kobe Bryant passed a ball to Yao Ming, let Yao Ming throw a three-pointer, Yao Ming also shot, but unfortunately the force was too great, hit the basket neck and popped out of bounds, the Mavericks called a timeout to replace the main force to surrender, Yao Ming lost the opportunity to get 40+ in the playoffs.

Liu Mang felt sorry for Yao Ming, it was not easy to score 40 points with the little blacksmith, and this was still a playoffs, just one goal away, but they were more than 20 points ahead and the Mavericks surrendered.

……

……

The Eastern and Western finals were both 2-1!

2-1 and 3-0, it looks like there is only one difference, but it feels very different!

Each of them is defending their home stadium, and in this case any team can qualify!

On the Hawks' side, the main thing is to rest and strategically study how to deal with it.

Tactics aren't the biggest problem anymore, the Hawks and the Heat have played three games in a row, and the Heat's tactics can't be clearer.

Compared to the back-and-forth of stars in the West, the Hawks and Heat have more tactical things.

Kobe, Nowitzki, and Jamal Crawford are all about seeing who soars better and which side wins, and Mavericks head coach Johnson Jr.'s tactics are like this, taking turns to play singles.

The Zen master is confident that Kobe and Yao Ming are the strongest singles players in their respective positions, and they are very confident in playing against the Mavericks.

And the Hawks and the Heat, the stars play similarly, Liu Mang and Wade play equally in this round of the series, Liu Mang has 53 points, Wade also has 49 points, Liu Mang rebounds better, Wade has more passing opportunities, the role player group led by O'Neal and the role player group led by Maddy play equally.

Defence and coordination are key for both teams.

But by this time, both sides had figured out the tactics of dealing with it.

So it's all about home advantage, and on-the-spot adaptability!

……

On May 30th, the day after the end of the third game of the Western Finals, the fourth game of the Eastern Finals came right after.

It can't be done elsewhere, but in the United States and China, the NBA playoffs are now getting more attention than the football World Cup!

The stars are playing hard, the schedule is also tight, and the attention of the fans will naturally come up.

In particular, the tight schedule has added a lot of uncertainty to these two rounds of the series!

The Heat's return to home court to suppress the Hawks relied on the strategic advantage they had actually played in Game 2.
