There is no doubt that the strength of the Heat, who formed the Big Three, is above the Trail Blazers on paper, but judging from the first quarter of the game, they are more like the weak side, for the simple reason that the Trail Blazers' state in this game is simply explosive, playing far beyond their own strength.

Although the Heat are now temporarily behind in the big score, their pride has not weakened by half a point, and it is unacceptable for them to be beaten like this by the Trail Blazers in the first quarter, and it is logical that they will start a big counterattack in the second quarter. In order to seize the opportunity to close the gap, Spoelstra does not plan to keep the Big Three on the field for a long time, preferring to always keep one or two of the Big Three on the field to lead his teammates.

So after the start of the second quarter, the Heat's offensive core became Bosh, and James and Wade were still resting on the bench by the head coach after carrying the entire first quarter. Unfazed, McMillan continued to send out a bench lineup for Cunningham to defend Bosh again.

But this time Cunningham failed to complete the task, and Bosh was far from being comparable to Jones's ability, and he also had an advantage in height. If Bosh likes to play the inside line under the basket, forget it, after all, Bosh is tall and tall, and his figure is still relatively thin, which also means that his strength in back-to-back singles under the basket will not be very strong. But Bosh often pulls to the mid to high to shoot makes Cunningham very painful, and it really doesn't feel good for the opponent to repeatedly shoot on his head by virtue of his height.

With Bosh's back-to-back mid-range shots, the Heat recovered the difference a little, but were soon hit by Batum's outside three-pointers. If Tum at the end of the first quarter was still restrained because of James' presence on the floor, then now facing the Heat's bench is a little unscrupulous, whether it is a breakthrough with the ball or a strong shot from the outside, Mike Miller has nothing to do with him, and the two sides are in a stalemate again.

With 8 minutes and 15 seconds left, McMillan changed to the main lineup in a good time, directly suppressing the Heat's bench. Spoelstra had no choice but to replace James, Wade and other main players in the same way, and at the same time replace Bosh with veteran Ilgoskas, so that the latter can get a respite.

Spoelstra doesn't expect Ilgoskas to contribute on the pitch, as long as he can hold up the rest of the game, and if he can't, he has Juwan Howard and Margloyl at his disposal, let alone Joel Anthony.

In Spoelstra's view, although it is difficult for Ilgoskas to play at the peak of his performance after returning from a serious injury, his height of 2.21 meters is there, as the first height on the court, it is completely possible to interfere with the Trail Blazers' attackers, and even limit the Trail Blazers' interior attack.

However, Ilgoskas was still too slow, especially when opponents Camby and Aldridge both shot from distance, and his role was infinitely reduced. With his speed of movement, leaving the basket is equivalent to giving up the most important areas, so he can only stay under the basket, which has led to the Trail Blazers maintaining a local advantage of five to four in the mid-to-high post, with mid-range jumpers and three-pointers playing well.

Although James and Wade are also desperately slashing points, the Heat's on-court lineup is only the two of them scoring, and no one else can help them at all. In contrast, the Trail Blazers are all on fire, it is terrifying, everyone can score on the court, and the shooting rate is not low, they are almost pressing the Heat who are stronger than themselves in the entire second quarter, although the point difference has not been further widened, but anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the upper hand.

After being killed by Ye Feng and Matthews in succession on the inside, Spoelstra was replaced by Magloyer with a blue face, because in his opinion, Bosh still needs to continue to rest, and can only let others hold on to this time, Ilgoskas is indeed a little disappointing.

But can Magloyle withstand the pressure?

The Trailblazers told Spoelstra that it was useless unless he went to Bosh. Although Magloyer was selected as an All-Star as a substitute in the 2003-04 season, he is no longer the same person he used to be, of course, he is relatively better than Ilgoskas, but it is only a little better, the Heat's basket is still full of holes, and Magloyle's only contribution is to grab 3 rebounds on the court.

After Spoelstra used a substitute inside line to hold on for more than three minutes, he finally couldn't bear the pressure and replaced Bosh to reunite the Big Three. But Bosh obviously hasn't rested well, and after three consecutive shots, he consciously went inside to grab rebounds, and the shot is still in the hands of James and Wade. In other words, they still haven't been helped by their teammates, and it's not a good feeling for two people to play against the whole team.

At halftime, the Trail Blazers still held an 11-point lead, and everyone who came on the court scored, whether it was a starter or a substitute. Although the home court gave them some bonuses, in the hearts of every Trailblazers player, perhaps Ye Feng's words before the game inspired them more.

Of course, it is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the whole Trail Blazers team to rewrite the big score to 3-1 first, but after the baptism of the finals last season, this team has a faint momentum of a strong team, and this pressure has little impact on them, but can force them to have more potential.

This is also what Ye Feng wants to see. His words may seem brainless and arrogant, but he hopes they will help his teammates build a strong heart and dare to go up and give it a go, no matter how tough the opponent is. Even if they still can't win the championship this season, this is of far-reaching significance to the future of the Trail Blazers, and with such a strong heart, as long as the lineup is reasonable and the timing is right, it is simply logical for the Trail Blazers to win the championship.

After watching the first half, many media reporters were silent, they didn't expect Ye Feng to really do what he said, although they are not sure how the game will be won or lost, but at least from the first half, the Trailblazers firmly occupy the advantage, and it seems that the odds of winning the game are very high. Could it be that the Heat, who have gathered the Big Three to win the championship, will still have to be empty-handed this season? It's not that no one thinks so, but it seems that there are more people who think that way now.

The lead over the opponent is completely in Ye Feng's plan, he will definitely not slap his own face, so let's slap someone else's face.
