Salehi's three-pointer was not timely, although it was just an open three-point shot, but for the Heat, who were already in a precarious situation, such a three-point shot was enough for them to clearly feel the balance of victory and defeat.

Claessen wanted to call a timeout at this time, because he hesitated again, he felt that the tactics he had just arranged to defend Turgun were a little biased, and now Salish had signs of firing, which had to make Claessen worry that Claessen would enter a rampage next.

The three cores of the Runners are truly terrifying once they go berserk, and Salish had a 27-point performance in a single quarter against the Celtics in the regular season.

You know, the Celtics have the best defense in the league this season, averaging just 89.4 points per game.

And the Celtics have a very good group of defenders on the outside, and they have a strong sense of defensive hierarchy, and few teams can take advantage of the Celtics on the outside.

But Salish did, scoring 27 points in just eleven minutes with a bizarre serpentine break and an unreasonable three-pointer that completely broke down the entire Celtics defense.

After that game, the Celtic head coach described Salish as a mollusk with the speed of a cheetah, which made Salehi completely known as the third core of the Runners.

Now Salehi is still resolute in the key moments of the game when he didn't hit a single shot in the first quarter, which not only shows that he has a stable mentality, but also shows that Salehi's touch has indeed recovered.

Next, although the Heat's offense still maintained a very good shooting rate, mainly because the interior offense was very easy, but with the opening of Sallich, the entire situation of the Runners changed dramatically.

Salehi scored five points in quick succession after hitting his first three-pointer, and although those five points were no longer shots from beyond the three-point line, but a sneak shot under the basket and a two-and-one shot, the Runners still overtook the score after scoring eight points in a row through Sallihi's second quarter.

The Heat did tighten up their defense on the perimeter after Salich hit his first three-pointer, and their defense continued to expand, while the rotation of players increased considerably, but it gave Salich the chance to score eight straight points, and his next two offenses were scored by breaking through to the three-point line.

After the score was overtaken, the situation of the Heat team was even more dangerous, after all, although their interior offense played smoothly today, they faced extremely tight defense from the Runners on the outside.

Wang Lei's strategy is very simple, that is, to let the Heat score two points, strictly prevent them from shooting outside the three-point line, and would rather give the Heat three shots at the free throw line than give them any chance to shoot outside the three-point line.

So far in the game, although the Heat team has a very high scoring efficiency, the interior players have scored double-doubles, and the first three games have played extremely badly and almost abandoned Corey Ryedder is almost 20 points, but the lead has become the runner team that has been behind from the beginning of the game.

In response to this situation, Claeson on the sidelines had to emphasize defense to the players on the court again, and now the Heat only have one way to defend in the end, and they also have to defend multiple offensive points of the Runners.

Towards the end of the second quarter, Salich finally went silent, and the Heat tightened up their defense against him, and the interior players increased significantly after Sallich's breakaway.

But Salehi's smudge didn't affect the Runners' offensive efficiency.

After taking the lead in the score, Salehi and Turgun were actually consciously bringing the Heat's defense to the outside, and at this time, Blair finally had more opportunities.

Blair didn't actually shoot much in the first quarter, and his outside shots weren't stable, and the real most threatening thing was Blair's low-post offense, which was his biggest killer.

Before the age of 30, Blair relied on physical fitness to play, but after the age of 30, Blair turned all his impetuosity into his own experience, and he played more and more steadily, and at the same time became more and more artistic.

The low-post back-to-body hard-carrying style that he used to excel at is now a low-post offensive kaleidoscope, and his step-back jumper is also hailed as the most artistic shooting action in the outside world.

In the first quarter of this game, Blair only had four shots from the outside, but all of them were out of the basket, and Blair also encountered the Heat's tight defense in the low post, so Blair tried to reduce his forced offensive shots.

Now that Turgun, Salehi and Stephen have drawn the attention of the Heat's defense to the perimeter, Blair knows it's time to play.

His low-post moves became more and more concise, and after a shake of the catch, he made a very large back-up shot, which gave Blair an extremely high shooting percentage and put more pressure on the Heat's defense.

The Runners stretched the deficit to five points late in the second quarter, and they relied on Blair's efficient offense in the final three minutes to keep that deficit until halftime.

The pressure on the Heat is really mounting, and with Salehi and Blair firing, Wall's defensive focus against Turgun is starting to drop.

Wall's task before this game was to prevent Turgon, regardless of other people's offense, but now Wall watched his opponent put the basketball into the basket again and again, and his impatience can be imagined.

As soon as the second quarter ended, Clayson hurried back to the locker room with the Heat players, and both he and his players needed to think calmly about how to deal with the next game.

Although the fans in Miami are still enthusiastically cheering for the home team, some of the more sober fans can already feel the critical situation of their own team at this time.

In the previous three games, when the Runners took the lead, the Heat never had a chance to turn around, which is a fact that many Miami fans are aware of, but what they can do now is to try to maintain the belief in their hearts, just like back then, when the Heat team once created a miracle of falling behind 3-1 in the finals, and now although the Heat team has not fallen behind 3-1, many fans have begun to pray for a miracle again.
