However, Spoelstra still underestimated the power of the years, and in the first few rounds on the court, the Heat still seemed to be alive, playing back and forth with the Pacers, and relying on their lineup changes to bring the score back to single digits, but unfortunately, as time went on, Wade and Bosh's physical strength began to have problems.

As a result, the Heat's defensive intensity suddenly dropped a notch, and on the offensive end, due to Wade's lack of energy, it also gave the Pacers a lot of opportunities to wrap up, causing the Heat's offense to be blocked, and with 4 minutes left in the third quarter, the Pacers were already ahead of the opponent by as many as 17 points, so Coach Frank simply called a timeout to replace all the people on the court, and then asked Hibbert to take Scola, Solomon Hill, C. J. Watson and Chris Copeland played for a while.

The Heat, because their physical strength has been seriously depleted, can only replace the other three people except James and Ray Allen, who have just been replaced, to rest, so that the Heat's interior line has become the slower Haslem and Chris Anderson, and the point guard is Norris Kerr.

I have to say that James is indeed a physical monster, after 8 minutes of high-intensity games, even young people like Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper, who are only in their early 20s, feel tired, but James is still like a robot, leading his team on the field to do the final struggle, which makes people have to feel that James is really in outstanding physical condition.

At the end of the substitution, although the Pacers sent almost all the bench lineups, Hibbert's interior deterrence and Solomon Hill's restraining effect on James made the Heat feel very uncomfortable, so although James continued to hold on to the court for more than 2 minutes, the difference was still only narrowed by 3 points. After that, the Heat also had to replace James with Battier, who had been rested for a while.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers caught the opponent off guard by virtue of their sudden change of formation and speed, although their side was not particularly adapted to such an offensive rhythm, so the shooting rate was not particularly high, but due to the speed, the number of shots of both teams was improved, and the Pacers alone got 27 shots in this quarter, hit 12 of them, and relied on free throws to score a total of 32 points.

Many people may not have any idea of the number of shots alone, but there is a horizontal comparison, which is much more intuitive, taking the last game between the two sides as an example, the Pacers only got 75 shots in the whole game, and in the third quarter, they got 18 shots.

On the other hand, on the Heat's side, due to the opponent's speed, the number of shots has also increased dramatically, but because of the lack of physical strength, there are often mistakes in the offense, giving away offensive opportunities in vain, and the efficiency on the offensive end is not high, and the number of hits is not even as good as the Pacers, in the entire third quarter, the Heat made 22 shots, hit 8 of them, and scored a total of 26 points with free throws.

However, in contrast, the main lineup on the Pacers' side has basically recovered its strength after entering the fourth quarter of the game, while on the Heat side, James rested for a total of 3 minutes in the first three quarters of the game, Wade was also tired in the third quarter, and the Pacers also entered the fourth quarter with a 14-point advantage, which put a lot of pressure on the opponent.

At 83:69, the Pacers entered the fourth quarter with a huge lead. However, the tenacious defending champion obviously did not want to be eliminated by the opponent so simply, so at the beginning of the fourth quarter, all the main forces were sent, although James had just rested for 2 minutes, although Wade and Bosh have not fully recovered, but because the team is too far behind, Spoelstra can only choose ALL IN.

The Heat backcourt served, James immediately controlled the basketball to the frontcourt, in the face of Solomon Hill's defense, James decisively chose to hand over the ball to Wade to deal with, Wade looked at C.J. Watson in front of him, and suddenly started to burst inward with a crotch change, although Watson's speed was good, but the reaction was still a little slower, Wade took two steps past the opponent and stepped directly on the free throw line to hit a jumper.

The offense on the Pacers' side can only rely on Hibbert to complete, so after C.J. Watson brought the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately handed the ball to Hibbert, who asked for the ball on the inside, and the Heat also knew that the Pacers' current lineup relied on Hibbert's point to play, so the Heat also arranged heavy troops to defend him, and as soon as Hibbert received the ball, Wade next to him immediately wrapped it up.

In desperation, Hibbert had no choice but to divide the ball and hand it to Hill, Solomon Hill immediately transferred the ball laterally after receiving the ball and passed it to C.J. Watson, who was missed by Wade, but at this time Ray Allen had already made up for it, so Watson did not hesitate at all, and quickly passed the ball to Copeland who was missed by Ray Allen, Copeland immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot after receiving the ball, such a three-point shot was undoubtedly a handful of salt on the wounds of the Heat team.

However, the Heat were in a hurry to chase the points, and they didn't care about it, and immediately served the backcourt to quickly advance to the frontcourt, and then Bosh successfully got rid of Hibbert's defense under the off-ball cover of Battier, and pulled out to the three-point line in the bottom left corner to receive James's pass and hit a three-pointer.

After that, the offense on the Pacers' side was still launched by Hibbert as the axis, but this time, after the basketball was transmitted, Copeland's shot did not continue to hit, which also gave the Heat a chance to chase points, James grabbed the backcourt rebound and quickly rushed to the Pacers halfcourt, and scored a layup directly when the opponent's defenders were not in place.

After that, the Pacers continued to stalemate with the Heat for two more rounds with this lineup, and finally called a timeout when Hibbert's hook missed and the opponent chased him again for a layup, and replaced all the main players who had been rested for a while.

As soon as Ye Xuan came on the court, he gave the Heat team a dismount, and after receiving the serve from his teammates, he brought the ball to the front court alone, and without waiting for his teammates to settle down, he directly hit an ultra-long-distance three-point shot one step outside the three-point line, which not only hit the opponent's momentum of chasing points, but also successfully reopened the score difference to 10 points.
