As soon as Howard came on the court, it worked, and immediately grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt.

The Heat team hurriedly fouled, although Howard had a hard injury in the free throw, only two free throws and one hit, but there was an instant sense of urgency on the court, and the Heat, as a top team, had too obvious weaknesses.

They often lose rebounds to win games, which is easy to say, but in fact it is much more efficient than the opponent, and it is difficult to play against a team of similar strength.

If the Heat is in the first gear in the league, the Rockets are about the first gear, and with the restraint of the inside line, it is really hard to say who will die.

Seeing that the substitution had an effect, Rockets coach McHale just put his mind at ease, and Zhang Xiaotian used the cover of his teammates to hit three points in the offense.

Zhang Xiaotian's methods, that is, when dunking, are slightly gorgeous.

Unpretentious technical actions, but they are very practical and difficult for the other party to guard against.

In the next few minutes, the score of the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The Rockets have the advantage on the inside, and the Heat on the outside have also repeatedly got opportunities through the breakthroughs of Wade and Zhang Xiaotian.

At this time, James and Bosh, who were rested by the Heat, only came on the court.

They can adjust, but the Rockets' roster can't be changed.

With the addition of James, the effect is immediate.

In fact, James himself has an average shooting touch today, but as long as he is on the court, he will definitely be the focus of the opponent's defense, and Zhang Xiaotian has an easier chance to score.

That's the impact of an All-Star-caliber player, and Zhang Xiaotian has been an attacker since he entered the fourth quarter, but the Rockets' defense still won't focus on him.

That's a good thing for the Heat, and James is happy to provide assists.

Seeing that there was only 2 points left to chase, Harden on the Rockets' side finally took it upon himself and hit the iconic step-back.

Because of Howard's existence, the Heat's breakthrough has been greatly limited.

And Zhang Xiaotian's performance finally fine-tuned the defense after the Rockets suffered enough losses, and Parsons didn't dare to relax a little after him.

It's not that there is no chance, it's just that after James plays, there are also advantages and disadvantages for Zhang Xiaotian.

He had an easier chance to score, but the chances were less than before.

It's impossible to let James watch, he plays alone on defense.

The Heat now have four starters, Garay Allen, and it stands to reason that they have offensive power at every position.

It's just that Bosh is still not activated, and Ray Allen needs to feed the ball, and at this time, only Wade stepped up.

Wade didn't let the team down, and he made another foul on Beverley.

The Rockets made Beverley switch to Wade, but it didn't work as well.

It's a pity that Wade is also a little tired, and he missed one free throw.

When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, they found another opportunity on the inside, causing a foul on the Heat.

With just over a minute left, the Rockets' lead became another five-point lead.

James was looking for a feel on the outside dribble, and the Rockets' defense was also an anti-penetration shot.

He was a little unwilling, and tried another one outside the three-point line, but the result was still not a hit.

After that, Wade and Beverley each hit once, and the score gap still did not close.

The Rockets fans are already starting to celebrate, and the Internet is starting to be lively.

Because of Yao Ming's relationship, the Rockets have always had a large number of fans on the other side of the ocean, and some of them are particularly fond of leading the game.

"I'm angry, those guys are provoking again, the gods are obviously playing so well, if it weren't for the Heat back-to-back, the Big Three have no state, how can they be arrogant."

"Is it another bet, remember the screenshot, the gods will definitely break out, the gods just sacrificed the data for the team, and the strength is definitely unimaginable to them."

"Even if you lose, the Heat still have the first record."

Of course, Zhang Xiaotian will not know the situation of the fan base, and he is now fully focused on the game.

They still have a chance in this game, so they have to win it.

On the offensive end, Zhang Xiaotian finally received the ball again.

Instead of making a move right away, he dribbled two steps back.

His teammates were a little strange, and tactically speaking, he was just responding to the ball this time.

Zhang Xiaotian's status in the team has improved a lot now, and if he wants to play with the ball, it will be no problem.

But what is he doing now, is it delaying time, they are lagging behind.

Just when everyone was puzzled and his teammates on the court thought he was dizzy and wanted to remind him, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly accelerated and pulled up outside the three-point line to meet the defense.

In fact, he didn't encounter too much interference with this ball, and Parsons didn't expect Zhang Xiaotian to throw like this at all.

This kind of thing can't be explained, Zhang Xiaotian is just waiting for the skill to be turned on.

22 seconds, 103:105,.

2 points, everything is possible, and all doubts are gone with Zhang Xiaotian's three-point shot.

The time was normal and the defense was definitely not enough, and the Heat pressed for a few seconds without effect, and then chose a foul tactic.

Harden also gave a chance and made one of two free throws.

With a three-point deficit, the Heat asked for a timeout.

Today, everyone else's hand is not very good, and Spoelstra has set Zhang Xiaotian as the first point for the first time.

There was no difficulty in receiving the ball, because the Rockets didn't expect James to be a cover, and it was Zhang Xiaotian who really received the ball.

Zhang Xiaotian asked for a cover after getting the ball, but the rocket did not hesitate and made a direct substitution in defense.

They're eyeing the three-point line right now, and the Rockets won't care if the Heat break through and score two points.

Tactically, it's also a good idea to get a quick 2 points.

However, Zhang Xiaotian obviously did not intend to choose the tactic of long nights, he made a breakthrough, and then pulled the ball back the moment the center of gravity of the defender's body changed.

Outside the three-point line, he hit again, 106:106, and McHale's face was black.

Although Zhang Xiaotian was full of confidence when the skill was activated, he did not delay until the last moment to make a move.

With 5 seconds left, the Rockets have a chance to kill.

Because it is a draw, it is possible for the Rockets to hang directly on the inside, and the Heat's defense cannot be slack.

After the whistle blew, the Rockets still managed to get the ball into Harden's hands.

Harden habitually wants to lean on people for a foul, and Wade has long been prepared and did not let the other party succeed.

As a result, because of this choice, Harden did not have a suitable shot.

Just when he didn't know whether to throw the ball or pass it, a hand reached out to the side.

Everyone stood close when serving, and although Zhang Xiaotian was defending Parsons, he was not far from Harden.

Harden came out when he received the ball, Zhang Xiaotian did not miss this opportunity, he saw the opportunity to cut off the basketball in Harden's hand, the whole process was almost extreme, and when the opponent reacted, the ball had fallen to the ground.

When the two sides rush to the ball, the final game time is over.

At 106:106, the two sides went into overtime.
