Chapter 167: The Decisive Moment

Lehi was taken care of, he didn't score as wildly as he did in the previous game, and with him attracting the defense, it was easier for others to get chances. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Marbury and Francis are both looking for opportunities to break through and tear apart the opposing defenses, Channing Frye only needs to take advantage of open opportunities in the offense, and Eddie Curry needs to play efficiently in the shortest playing time of the starter.

The Heat are different, they are still a duo of Wade and O'Neal, Jason Collins and Antoine Walker are just spoilers, and Haslem will put all his energy on defense when O'Neal is going all out on offense.

Both teams played what they wanted, and both were distracted by the opposing defence.

Because of the tie-break, the scoring efficiency of both sides is not very high, and they bite the score to death.

The main players on both sides basically finished the first quarter before starting the rotation, with the Knicks now in the nine-man rotation and the Heat in the eight-man rotation.

However, the Knicks' tactics are that Lehi, Marbury, Francis and Crawford keep at least two people on the court, so there are only six people who have really stayed on the court for a long time, except for Channing Frye, the other five have independent offensive ability, and the Heat has seven people, not counting Mourning, who has not played much, and two older ones, so in the rotation period, it was the Knicks who took advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were still 2 points behind, but by the end of the first half, they had already surpassed by 5 points, and when O'Neal went off, whether the Heat used a small lineup or played Mourning, it was obvious that they couldn't stop the Knicks.

So even if Wade is the first core of the Heat, O'Neal has a greater impact on the outcome of the game.

Lehi kept encouraging his teammates, and his voice was hoarse.

Marbury and the others all felt that their blood that hadn't boiled for a long time was hot.

In the second half, the game was more intense, and their actions often looked like they were going to fight compared to the regular season.

O'Neal once again showed explosive momentum, hitting two in a row at the beginning of the third quarter.

But soon, the Heat's attack still revolved around Wade, and by the seventh game, O'Neal's physical strength had been seriously tested, and he didn't carry it to the end in the first quarter, and he didn't even resist half a quarter in the third quarter.

As you get older, some things become a little overwhelming.

Wade burst out with extremely strong energy, in the first six battles, both sides already knew the roots, but Wade was still a little surprised, his mid-range shooting rate under strict defense was staggering.

In the second half, Mourning did not play again, and the Heat chose a small lineup in order to make room for Wade.

After the Heat caught up behind the score, the Knicks chose to take a timeout, and this game Lehi returned to his previous form on the offensive end, and the team simply let him mark Wade early.

The team's rotation is also not according to common sense, unless the opponent is on O'Neal, otherwise the Knicks will continue to play with a small lineup, and the four main players plus Crawford will not be replaced.

Wade was just as brave under Lehi's defense, and only missed one shot in the entire third quarter

In the third quarter, Wade scored nearly 30 points and clearly did not plan to rest.

At 5.9 seconds in the third quarter, Wade made a successful foul on Lehi, and after hitting two free throws, the Knicks fell behind by 3 points at 61:64.

Lehi didn't say anything at this time, he wanted to make a breakthrough posture when he got to the ball, but when he came to the three-point line, he stopped and jumped, and the three-point whistle was tied at 64:64.

15 points in the third quarter, often in the previous game, Lehi didn't score much, but when he needed to step up, he didn't have the time to coax.

In the final quarter, both sides were still small lineups, not only for offense, but also for faster rotation and pinching when defending.

However, the Knicks are well aware that the Heat are now recovering O'Neal's strength, and as long as the big sharks go crazy for another half a quarter, they will be in danger.

Larry Brown is also teaching Eddie Curry, Eddie Curry is now sitting below to recover his strength, if this guy has good physical strength, the Knicks don't need to choose a small lineup at all now, and now both sides have physical problems with interior scoring points, which is fair.

Wade scored again first, adding pressure to the Knicks' players.

Lehi stepped on the three-point line to shoot, but missed, and Wade broke through again, causing Channing Fry to foul, and after hitting the free throw, the Knicks trailed by 4 points.

Marbury suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart, and whispered as he passed by Lehi's side: "Don't worry, you take it easy, the more you end up, the harder it will be." ”

"We can win."

Four simple words, hoarse but sonorous and powerful, Marbury heard Lehi's voice now, and inexplicably felt a little relieved, even if he lost, Lehi still did not waver.

He's in a state where there's no more to think about than win.

At 8 minutes and 49 seconds, Wade squeezed through Lehi from the baseline with another change of direction, but when he was about to put the basketball in the basket, he suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

Lehi was passed but not thrown off, and when Wade made a layup, he slapped the ball from behind and landed on the rebound.

Wade's attack was finally stopped by him domineeringly.

Wade was also a little tired from the constant onslaught, while Lehi's reaction did not slow down at all.

It's not that his physical strength is better than Wade's, but that the level of concentration is completely free of distractions, and only pure judgment on basketball remains.

When Wade attacked again, Lehi successfully interfered again and let Wade strike the iron.

At 7 minutes and 52 seconds, the Heat, who saw that something was wrong, was replaced by O'Neal.

The Knicks also replaced Eddie Curry, but they knew very well that replacing Eddie Curry was not the most critical means, and they couldn't give O'Neal another chance to break out.

O'Neal came up, and the Heat immediately tried to play inside, but as soon as O'Neal received the ball, he immediately hit it.

The Knicks would rather miss Haslem or Payton and resolutely not give O'Neal a chance.

On several consecutive offenses, the Knicks were resolute in their attacks.

Payton tried to shoot and missed, Haslem hit a mid-range shot, and in either case, their execution doesn't change, execution in crunch time, the standard of a strong team, the Knicks, who were free and loose last season, have done it now.

At 6:39, Crawford hit a three-pointer to tie the game.

At 4:18, Channing Frye made six fouls to give the Heat the lead again.

When the crisis hits, whether you have a chance to stand on the highest stage in the east depends on the last few minutes. (To be continued.) )
