After winning Game 4 on the road, the Miami Heat now have a 3-1 overall lead. In Game 5, LeBron will need to stay strong on offense and his teammates to make more contributions, and the Heat will try to hold on to their home court to win the match point and eliminate their opponents 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. There is no way back for the Nets, and they must win in Miami to continue their season.

Since the trio of LeBron, Wade and Bosh joined forces, the Heat have an 8-0 record at home against a potentially end-of-series series. "This team is never going to let us win easily, and the series is far from over." Wade reminded his teammates to be careful with the Nets.

Heat coach Spoelstra also wants his team to be clear about this, and they can't afford to let up at home. After Game 4, the Nets' Johnson accused LeBron of faking a fall in the game, but LeBron ignored it, and when he talked about the goal of Game 5, he only had a win.

Speaking about the mentality of the team in Game 5, LeBron said, "Trying to win, that's our mentality in every playoff game. Play with a sense of crisis. The whole team helps each other, the team-mates communicate with each other, and if we can do that and be just as aggressive, we'll give ourselves a good chance to win. ”

LeBron missed a free throw in the final minute of Game 4 that missed him for 50 points, but his 49 points tied his career playoff high. He's going to have to keep that aggressiveness going to the opposition's defense in Game 5, and he's going to have to keep that strong offense, but the Heat need other players to help.

Wade and Bosh are LeBron's most trusted teammates, and they need to give LeBron more support on offense, and the Heat also need role players to contribute when they return to their home court, with the likes of Allen and Chalmers finding an offensive feel.

The Nets pulled one back at home, but a Game 4 loss has pushed them into a corner, and Game 5 is a crucial game to save the season.

"It's the fifth and we know exactly what it means." Nets coach Kidd said, "For us, it's like a tiebreaker, if you lose, it's all over; If we win, we'll have another day. We can only focus more in Game 5 and try to play every quarter. “?

If the Nets want to win on the road, they will need a core player who can play a bigger role, especially Johnson and Pierce to contribute offensively. LeBron averaged 30.3 points per game in this series, while the Nets' two best scorers, Johnson and Pierce, averaged 29.5 points per game.

Another player the Nets need to contribute to offense is Derlon, who has to improve his offensive efficiency and cause enough problems for the Heat, and he has to lead the team. In addition, Garnett will also need to help the team more, and Kidd will also need to find people from the role players who can contribute, such as Bracher, Thorton, Tretovich and others will bring offensive support to the team.

The Nets have won twice in Miami this season, both of which came in the regular season. The Heat have won two consecutive home games against the Nets in this round of the playoffs, and the all-time record is that they have won the Nets four times in a row at home in the playoffs, and the last time the Nets won the playoffs at Miami was on May 9, 2006, which was also the only victory in the Nets' seven visits to Miami in the playoffs.

Ye Xuan naturally knew that this game would be extraordinarily frequent, so on the 21st, the Pacers, who had rested for three days, went to Miami together at Ye Xuan's suggestion, because they wanted to watch their next opponent's game up close.

After the start of the game, Kevin Garnett overpowered the real giants and gave the racket to Deron Williams. After Delon got the ball, he slowly advanced to the front court, and then asked Pierce to come forward to help block and dismantle, and then he hit the inside line to make a quick stop, but unfortunately he didn't feel good at the beginning and shot iron.

James grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Wade, who made a quick break and duffled a shot, directly shaking Livingston into the air, and then leaned the ball on him, causing two fouls and hitting both free throws to score the first point of the game for the Heat.

DeLong held the ball in the backcourt and slowly advanced to the front court, and called Uncle Pi to come over to help block and dismantle, but this time he did not choose to continue to force the shot, but handed the ball to Uncle Pi who was waiting in the high post after the completion of the blocking, Pierce received the ball, and shot a long-distance two-point shot.

And Wade on this side did not show weakness, after Chalmers brought the ball to the front court, Wade took the initiative to ask for the ball, Chalmers did not dare to hesitate, and passed the ball directly, after Wade received the ball, a cross step flashed Livingston's defense, and directly inward two steps and a throw to score the ball.

But after Wade scored this goal, the Heat seemed to lose their touch, and the next five rounds were all ironed, and the Nets also took this opportunity to instantly stretch the score to 11:4. Fortunately, Wade stepped up again and forced a breakthrough into the interior, causing a foul on Garnett, who came over to make up the defense, and hit both free throws.

And here, although Delon immediately used the block to hit two points again, but James immediately used a breakthrough to cause Livingston's second foul, and in desperation, Jason Kidd had to replace Livingston with Alan Anderson, and by the way, Garnett, who was older and didn't play very well, was replaced by Andre Bracchi for a while.

But after losing Garnett's protection on the inside, the Nets' restricted area immediately became the Heat's back garden, and they came and went as they wanted, and they directly hit the ball into the restricted area to attack the opponent's interior in a few consecutive rounds, and in less than 4 minutes, the Nets only relied on Uncle Pi to hit a two-pointer, and the Heat also took the opportunity to chase the score to 15:14.

Then the Heat began to rotate, replacing Wade with Ray Allen and replacing Bosh with 'Birdman' Anderson. But no matter how it was changed, they still kept James on the court. After all, James has averaged 39 minutes per game in the playoffs, and the previous two consecutive games exceeded 40 minutes.

After that, the two teams began a boring tug-of-war again, with both sides constantly playing iron, fouling, iron, and fouling. The game became intermittent. At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was only 22:23, and the Heat led by one point.
