Kidd's injury came suddenly.

Harden leaned forward on the bench and was ready to play.

However, when Tang Tian turned around, he pointed to Livingston and asked him to substitute him.

Harden stepped back and unconsciously pressed his fist with his right hand.

Tang Tian really used him as a substitute.

Kidd didn't leave the court either, sitting on the sidelines and letting the team doctor treat his ankle, which gave the Thunder players a boost to their players.

The game on the court continued, with Livingston holding the ball from the outside, and the Thunder playing the same tactics.

The Heat's defensive intensity is still the same, and Durant and Westbrook still haven't got a good shot.

Livingston saw the ball and dribbled two steps inside, and when he reached the high post on the right wing, he directly leaned his back against Wade and began to play with his back.

Wade didn't know much about Livingston, and at this point he leaned into reaching out to try a steal.

Livingston protected the ball very well, and after a few blows, he pushed Wade to the penalty area.

Wade then sank his weight, but in the moment when his heart sank, Livingston leaned back and turned back to the right.

This one came down very suddenly, just grabbing the point where he couldn't jump.

By the time he pounced again, it was too late.

"Huh!"

Livingston's turn and back-to-back hit.

The scene erupted in cheers.

Although he is the team's third backup point guard, he usually doesn't have many opportunities to play, but this hand back is really handsome.

Spoelstra on the sidelines was also stunned.

The Thunder's rotation was fixed in the second half of the regular season, and he really wasn't that prepared for the kind of players at the end of the bench.

On the Heat's offense, James misplaced against Livingston for a layup.

Livingston's confrontation was not at the same level at all, and he was pushed back again and again by James, but just when James made a move, the interference of his outstretched long arm actually made James's shot deviate.

Serge Ibaka picked up a defensive rebound, and the Heat's offense ended in failure.

The cheers of the fans at the stadium were even louder.

Livingston's offense and defense are really surprising.

It was at this time that some loyal fans remembered that the Thunder could trade Reggie Jackson and Kerr Aldridge in order to sign Livingston, and there was also a period of highlight performance on the Thunder, but then Harden started and slowly faded out of the rotation.

The Thunder's off-ball frontcourt continued to be heavily guarded, and Livingston continued to sink down on the right wing to play Wade with his back.

Wade directly sank his weight this time and didn't give Livingston a top.

Livingston's vote in the previous round was somewhat due to his contempt for the enemy.

Livingston turned left and right in succession, Wade always maintained a defensive position, and this time he was confident that he could give interference if Livingston dared to lean back.

But just then, Livingston turned to the left and hit again, and suddenly flicked the ball in the middle with his left hand.

This action came very suddenly, not to mention that Wade didn't react at once, even the rest of the Heat team didn't react, their attention was all on Livingston, who would have thought that he would suddenly pass the ball.

A figure sped in from the middle.

Westbrook!

Livingston's pass was on point, and he caught the ball and leaped before Bosh could react.

"Bang!"

With a powerful one-handed slam dunk, Westbrook swung around the basket before landing, followed by a roar of excitement.

The whole arena boiled instantly.

The ball is passed beautifully, and the buckle is even more beautiful.

The atmosphere at the Thunder's home court was immediately stirred up.

In the retreat, Westbrook took the initiative to give Livingston a high-five, and it was clear that he was quite happy with the pass.

Spoelstra frowned.

Kidd's accidental injury was supposed to be a big blow to the Thunder, but he didn't expect this to be a surprise soldier, which made the Heat appear passive on the court.

The Heat attacked, and James continued to single Livingston.

Livingston's top defense is difficult, but his height does not suffer, and he dares to exert force.

James finally knocked him away and scored a layup, but the whole process was obviously a lot more physical exertion than before.

The Thunder's offense.

Livingston popped up out of nowhere, and his back play and passing were excellent, and the Heat's defensive center of gravity had to take care of him.

But it was this change that caused Westbrook and Durant to plummet the defensive pressure.

Durant received Tucker's block and took the opportunity, Livingston's high vision was good, and he threw his hand to pass the ball, and Durant took the ball and shot.

"Huh!"

Durant's ability to take advantage of opportunities is strong, and his three-pointer is up and down.

7-2, Kidd's injury did not make the Thunder fall into a collapse, but firmly occupied the initiative on the court.

The game played more than 7 minutes, and the score on the court was 18-8, and the Heat gradually adapted to Livingston through this period of time, but the score on the court was also stretched to double digits.

Both teams have played anxiously in the past, and this 10-point advantage is extremely crucial for the Thunder.

You must know that in the second game, the Heat trailed by 10 points in the first quarter and only lost by 14 points in the end.

And after taking the lead, the Thunder players on the court are also more confident, and they are more daring to make moves on the defensive end of the home court, forcing the Heat to almost have a 24-second violation.

James was denied a chance by Tucker and broke through to the basket to give Wade.

With 24 seconds to go, Wade hit Livingston's long-arm shot.

A super difficult shot.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the rebound, but it bounced back and went to the basket.

A key fairy ball.

The Thunder's offense, Westbrook's layup after receiving a pass from Livingston was blown away by James, and Wade rushed to grab the defensive rebound.

The Heat played a fast break, Wade received the ball in the frontcourt, leaned on Durant for a layup, and dodged a big pull-up after encountering a block, and made a layup from the other side.

The ball flew up, spun and wiped the board and scored.

Another super difficult goal.

On the brink of danger, Wade stepped up and took a lot of the pressure off James.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout, this wave of 5-0 Thunder team morale was very hurt, but the bigger problem is that after the Heat team adapted to Livingston, the Thunder team encountered trouble on offense, if it was not interrupted, the remaining 5-point difference would be smoothed out in a while.

As he called a timeout to walk back, he pointed directly at Harden and signaled that he was ready to play.

Harden had been holding back from the court for a long time, and when he heard Tang Tian call him, he almost jumped up as if he was on a rocket, and took off his training uniform in a second.

"James, you organize the attack."

And Tang Tian's first sentence when he picked up the tactical board made his whole body feel refreshed.

Although Tang Tian pressed him on the bench for so long, his trust in him was still there.
