Chapter 99: A New Battlefield

In the third quarter, when the Heat team was about to be imposing, they were pressed down by Li Haisheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the final decisive moment, Wade came on the court after a two-minute break, and when he and Lehi were not on the court, the benches of the two teams played evenly and the performance was not satisfactory.

After Wade came on the court, he hit the mid-range shot again, and Lehi also hit the mid-range shot.

When it came to the critical moment of the playoffs, neither side dared to be careless, and soon the main players were back on the court.

The Heat's ball was in Wade's hands most of the time, and in order to defend with all his might, Lehi took the initiative to reduce the chance of touching the ball in the offense.

With Lehi's defense, Wade's shooting percentage also began to decline after exerting a lot of stamina.

In fact, Wade also sent a few good passes, but the Knicks can expand their ball defense, and shooters like Damon Jones and Kenyon Durin have average shooting percentages, and they need to feed the ball, unlike the Knicks' Marbury and Crawford's individual singles.

On the inside side, Mo Ning's physical strength has also begun to decline, he has played more than ten minutes in this game than when he was a substitute before, and it is normal to consume too much, Haslem is still full of physical strength, and he actively fights on the inside, but he does not have the ability to play alone.

Wade had to keep singleing Lehi, and that played right into the Knicks' hands.

Lehi couldn't completely block Wade either, and Wade would always make one in two or three mid-range attempts, but that efficiency wasn't enough to help the Heat win.

"Haslem rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and the second offense was successful, and the Heat still had a certain advantage on the inside, but they could only barely ensure that the score was not pulled away."

"Wade looks a little tired, the Heat need someone to step up and share some of the burden for him, Eddie Jones hasn't done enough, O'Neal would be fine if he's on the floor."

"Damon Jones was brought by Marbury again, he was moving too slowly, Haslem was fouled for the fifth time, and the Heat were in danger."

"Eddie Jones went soft at the critical moment, the shot was outrageous, the Knicks played a beautiful counterattack again, Crawford completed the score, and the Knicks' lead finally became double digits."

Time was running out, and Wade received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and Lehi took another half step back.

Wade was a little annoyed and threw the first three-pointer of the game, but it was iron, and no matter how strong a player is, there will be weaknesses, not to mention Wade, who is still a sophomore rookie, he has not hit a three-point shot in the playoffs.

The Knicks began to control the tempo and let Lehi go to the low post to catch the ball.

Lehi received the ball and sat inside, the Heat could only come over to attack, Lehi immediately passed the ball to Crawford, Crawford saw the pounced defender give the ball to Marbury, Marbury hit the shot, and the Knicks won the victory.

In the final moments, the Knicks made no mistakes and finally brought the series score to 3:3.

"Cheer up, we still have a chance."

"Defend, defend, we can, just work a little harder."

At the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Lehi was soaked in sweat and desperately pounded the Heat's basket.

Again and again, he received several bloody marks on his arm, proving his efforts.

Standing at the free throw line, his arm trembled a little, but he still stabilized his emotions and scored the ball.

"Lehi has done his best, and even if he can't make it to the next round, he can walk out with his head held high."

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to the Knicks next season, and while they still need to give Lehi a new contract, I don't believe any team is going to let go of a player of this calibre."

"If the Knicks had a big man, even if they weren't top-notch, the outcome of this series could have changed."

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Knicks lost by 11 points in the tiebreaker.

At the home court of the Heat, O'Neal returned and showed good form, while the Knicks' Tim Thomas was injured and could not play, and the Knicks' height and offensive power dropped again.

In the first quarter of the game, O'Neal let Kurt Thomas, the Knicks' only reliable interior line now, foul too many fouls, and then killed all sides, leaving the Knicks trailing by double digits in the first quarter.

However, Crawford's hand was not good in this game, and Lehi and Marbury struggled to support it, but they did not let the score catch up.

Lehi only had a 1-minute break in this game, defending Wade with all his might in the first half, and attacking desperately while defending in the second half.

In this game, the Heat finally made up their minds and wrapped up Lehi, which also caused Lehi to make several mistakes when the Knicks were chasing points.

After all, Lehi did not enjoy such treatment, but in such a tense tie-break, he scored 35 points and tried his best, but he could not lead the team to win the game.

Half an hour after the game, everyone else was in a trance, half because they were unwilling, and half because they were too tired.

On this day, the domestic fans were sad, in the three tie-break games, Yao Ming's Rockets team lost, and Li Hai's Knicks also lost.

Lehi was more comforted than being overturned by the Mavericks with a 2-0 lead for the Rockets, who had already played his best games in his first year in the NBA.

The teams that entered the second round were the Heat, Wizards, Pistons and Pacers in the East, and the Celtics were overturned by the Pacers, who were sixth in the East, and they were also very depressed.

In the West, the Suns, Mavericks, Spurs and SuperSonics entered the second round, which happened to be a top-four win without any upsets.

And Lehi didn't have time to watch the game leisurely, he had already received an official notice from the Basketball Association to return to China to prepare for the Asian Men's Basketball Championship, which was also his first time in the national team.

On the NBA side, all the awards came out, and Steve Nash, the regular season MVP selection, was elected by a narrow margin over Shaquille O'Neal.

Lehi certainly made the All-Rookie First Team without any suspense, along with Ben Gordon, Lore Deng, Emeka Okafor and Dwight Howard.

The second team is Josh Childis, Andre Iguodala, Josh Smith, Al Jefferson and Nenad Kostic.

The All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team, which are more golden, made Lehi's fans make some mistakes, and their stubborn Lehi at least meets the criteria of the best defensive second team.

However, as a rookie, Lehi was not favored.

After spending a few days with Xia Weiliang, Lehi returned to China alone.

Returning to this land again, Li Hai was full of emotion, playing in the NBA is a dream, entering the national team is another dream of his, and now that both dreams have come true, all that remains is to help the team win honors.
