Chapter 83: Shark Cutting Tactics
Liu Su rubbed his wrist, which was very painful to be hit by O'Neal, and made two shooting movements to find a feeling. The referee sent the ball over www.biquge.info pen, and Liu Su slapped it twice, and then threw the ball out.
"When" the ball hit the basket and bounced off and didn't go in.
Liu Su couldn't help but touch his wrist again, and then took the referee's serve, threw the second penalty, and stumbled in, not feeling very good.
However, Liu Su did not regret it, and let O'Neal foul as soon as he came up, and he could boldly impact the inside. The shark slashing tactic doesn't have to be fouled on O'Neal, and it's okay to knock him down early.
Next, Liu Su either hit the rebound himself or let Margeti impact the rebound, and the frightened Pakleli called a timeout, and then arranged for Haslem to block O'Neal, and if necessary, Theonal fouled. Without O'Neal, the Heat really lost.
Impacting the basket made the Clippers' offense easier, and O'Neal didn't dare to move too much in order to avoid a second foul, just interfering with the shot. In this way, he consumes more physical energy, and the defensive effect is not very good.
Despite a foul on Haslem's place, O'Neal was fouled by Margeti in the seventh minute and was replaced by Pakleli.
After Mourning came up, the Clippers also replaced Brera Summer, a European center who is not as strong as Carman, but has rich defensive experience and can effectively interfere with Mourning's mid-range shot. As for Mo Ning's singles, not to mention how much strength he has left, how many times can he play singles even if he succeeds every time?
Brera Lascha was joined by Radmanovic and Margeti was replaced because of the physical exertion of rushing inside.
Wade didn't feel very good today, and both mid-range shots were missed. Haslem blocked him a couple of times, and he scored two points on a layup under Brand's defense.
After O'Neal went off the court, Brand singled Haslem in a row, and Haslem already had two fouls, and in the ninth minute, Brand made another foul, and Pakleli had to replace him.
Replaced by Posey, Walker stepped into the power forward position. In this way, Brand has some difficulty in singles, and Walker can score points with speed, and back-to-back singles are not good at all, and Walker is too fat.
The Clippers took the lead in the first quarter, leading by eight points at 34-26.
Liu Su did not end up in the second quarter, just to completely restrain Wade. O'Neal is off, Wade doesn't work, and the Heat loses,
Carman is on the field again, O'Neal is definitely going to play, and he needs to go up as a meat shield. David Lee, along with Ryan Gomez and Cassel, made up the Clippers' starting lineup.
The Heat really got O'Neal and replaced Williams with Payton. As soon as he got on the court, Posey stepped up his run, took advantage of Walker's cover to get open space, and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Payton.
Posey is a good bench indeed, shooting from three-point range and making the playoffs even higher than in the regular season. And, not afraid to shoot, the heart is strong, and dare to shoot key shots.
Cassel came back with the ball, took David Lee to cover the penalty area, took a few steps past Walker, and scored a layup. Walker was too slow on his feet, and Kassel shook him off with ease.
Back in return, Payton took advantage of Walker's cover to get inside and after attracting David Lee, he passed to O'Neal, who was already in position. O'Neal arched twice and threw the ball into the basket.
The two sides played a wonderful back and forth, and Posey was the biggest contributor to the Heat in this quarter, shooting four three-pointers, two mid-range shots, and 14 points in a single quarter.
Liu Su originally wanted to make O'Neal a foul again, but every time he hit the inside, someone stood in front of him, either Walker or Posey. The two veterans are experienced, as long as they are passed, they will immediately pull people to foul, if it weren't for Liu Su's quick hand to throw out a few balls, I'm afraid I won't get a free throw.
O'Neal played the second quarter, Carman went off in the seventh minute, and Dunleavy Sr. brought on Hayes. But O'Neal was clearly in good form today and Hayes struggled a little bit against him.
At halftime, the Clippers led by four points and were chased back by the Heat by four points.
In the third quarter, the two sides switched back to their starting lineups. The two teams played extremely fiercely, and the tactics with strong intentions in the first two quarters were not easily used. Liu Su and Margeti did not deliberately seek to make fouls, and if they were overtaken at this time, it would be worth the loss.
After playing seven minutes, Liu Su was substituted for a break, and now the game is scorching, and he may need to maintain his strength to reach the end.
There was no winner in the third quarter, and the Clippers led by 3 points, and they could be overtaken at any time.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers sacrificed a big killer. As soon as O'Neill received the ball, he immediately fouled him. 5 fouls in 2 minutes, as long as the foul is indeserved, free throws will be made.
Pakleli and the Heat players also knew that the Clippers were starting to really cut the shark and didn't dare to pass the ball to O'Neal easily, only passing it to him when it was almost 24 seconds away. In this way, it is possible to get one or two points, otherwise you will not get any points.
In the sixth minute, the Clippers had the strongest lineup, Cassel, Liu Su, Margetty, Brand and Carman. The Clippers currently have a four-point lead, and as long as they hold on to that four-point advantage, they will win this game.
Liu Su and Wade were opposed, and Wade also knew that he had to defeat Liu Su in order to win, so he also began to work hard. O'Neal and Mourning formed the inside gate to block the Clippers' under-the-basket offense. Posey provided three-point firepower, and Williams delivered the shells.
The Clippers possessed the ball, and Cassel relied on Brand to cover and get rid of Williams. Margeti and Liu Su ran back, taking advantage of the opposing team to get rid of defenders, one inside and one out. Liu Su was the first to reach the corner, and Kassel passed the ball over, and Liu Su immediately scored a three-point shot with a knife in his hand.
Coming back, Wade followed Mourning to get rid of Liu Su, received the ball and went inside, and completed a layup on Kaman's head.
On both sides, you play a goal and I play a goal very safely, and basically they only shoot when they have a good opportunity. The turnaround came in the eighth minute, and the Heat's offense took 18 seconds, and no one else had a good chance to shoot, so they had to pass the ball to O'Neal.
Carman immediately sent O'Neal to the free throw line, O'Neal had already exhausted most of his physical strength, his hands were shaking, and both free throws were missed.
Carman grabbed the rebound and passed it to Liu Su, who immediately went on a fast break, but was blocked by Wade. The same Cassel was also taken down by Williams, and the two did not succeed in the fast attack.
At this moment, Margeti suddenly rushed through the four, leaving Percy far behind. Liu Su immediately passed the ball, and Margeti rushed to the basket after receiving the ball and completed the dunk.
The score has widened to 7 points, and with four minutes to go, it is not so easy to chase.
The Clippers' defensive intensity was maintained, allowing the Heat's offensive time to drain until 16 seconds before Wade made a layup. There are 3 minutes and 57 seconds left in the clock.
Kassel dribbled the ball through the half, and it took 10 seconds before he began to organize the attack. After a few cross-runs, there was no good chance, and the ball finally ran into Liu Su's hands.
Glancing at the attack time, there are still 6 seconds left. Liu Su took a deep breath and rushed towards Wade. Wade forcibly blocked it, but found that Liu Su's strength was very strong, and he took two steps back to block it. Just when Wade's old strength had exhausted his new strength, Liu Su suddenly retreated two steps in a row, just outside the three-point line, and rose up. Wade wanted to defend, but it was too late, so he could only watch Liu Su throw the ball.
