Wade saw that something was wrong and wanted to make a shot to stabilize the morale of the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But purely compared to shooting, Wade's shooting percentage is actually only average, and he turned around and hit the jumper in the process of breaking.
On the Knicks' side, Crawford ran without the ball to get rid of the defense, received a pass and shot instantly, and the scores of the two teams were once again on the same running line.
The players on the Knicks court were all in a strong fighting spirit, and the Heat team was not affected, O'Neal received the ball on the inside, and before waiting for the bag to come, he half-turned and hit the ball with a small hook.
The scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, and there was no timidity on that side.
With 33 seconds left in the game, Marbury made two free throws to give the Knicks a one-point lead.
With 13 seconds left in the game, Wade assisted on Eddie Jones for a three-pointer.
In the final moment, Crawford missed a three-point shot, and Lehi grabbed a rebound and hit a rebound.
At 90:90, the game went into overtime, and Lehi and Crawford did not rest for the entire second half.
"We can win the game, absolutely." Before the start of overtime, Lehi still said firmly.
No one made a different voice this time, and after the struggle of the fourth quarter, they all strengthened their confidence.
In overtime, the Heat still got the opportunity to attack first, O'Neal burst out with all his energy at this time, and forced to squeeze under the basket at once, the basketball in Wade's hand passed in time, and the Knicks could only quickly foul.
O'Neal walked to the free throw line, and O'Neal, who shot less than 50% of the free throws in this game, hit both free throws at this critical moment.
The Knicks' first offense in overtime was Lehi, who had just completely conquered his teammates.
When you're the pitch and you're in good shape, your teammates will be affected and you'll pass the ball more.
The defender standing in front of Lehi had become Wade, and Eddie Jones had almost exhausted his physical strength by this time, and he was completely unable to restrain Lehi.
Lehi sat inside twice with his back on his back, rolled over and hit a jumper.
After the Heat attacked, Wade passed to Eddie Jones, and the Knicks' defensive strategy made it easier for the Heat to have opportunities on the outside.
Eddie Jones, however, lost his previous shooting percentage and wasted the pass.
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack again, Lehi once again chose to play singles, and he was already completely excited at this time, barely feeling fatigue, and only thinking about beating his opponent.
However, even if he shot accurately, he couldn't hit the defense again and again, and then Lehi hit the iron three times in a row.
Herb Williams stood on the court nervous, but didn't know what to do, he finally lacked some of the head coach's courage, and the weakness of leading the team was also exposed in this playoffs, he could only plan a strategy in advance, but he would not respond on the spot.
The situation of the Heat is not good, and in the overtime of the playoffs, both sides are more nervous, and the shooting percentage is lower than before.
In the end, it was Wade who took the lead in breaking through and making fouls to score two points, and then Lehi immediately returned the color, causing O'Neal's fifth foul, and the Heat's interior line also had a crisis.
It's already overtime, and they have no plans to make substitutions, and they believe that a veteran like O'Neal can handle such a thing.
O'Neal is O'Neal, after five fouls, he did not cower, but became more brutal, at 56 seconds, he caused 2+1 on the inside, and the free throw was also a hit.
The Knicks trailed by 3 points again, and Lehi received the ball and almost pushed Wade to the inside.
It looked like he was going to force his hand and hope that the referee would blow for O'Neal, who came to help defend him, but to everyone's surprise, Lehi flicked his wrist in the air and passed the ball to Marbury, who made a layup and caused a foul on Haslem.
Marbury stepped to the free-throw line, but missed a free throw by accident.
There are still 2 points left, there are only 30 seconds left, Wade began to control the time after dribbling past half court, and the court instantly became quiet, and the Knicks' home audience didn't even dare to breathe, it was too nervous at this time.
Marbury was a little annoyed that he missed a free throw, and O'Neal was able to hit him but missed it, as if he was destined to lose, which made him a little dazed.
"Everyone's focused." Lehi spoke up in time to pull back all the thoughts of the players that the Knicks were a little worried about.
With only a few seconds left in the attacking clock, Haslem came up to cover Wade.
Wade started suddenly, but Lehi saw through the direction Wade was about to move, and directly retreated and stretched out his hand at the moment when Wade jumped up and threw it.
Under Lehi's interference, Wade's shot missed, and Marbury turned to get the rebound that bounced far away, calling a timeout.
The Knicks made a free throw at halftime, and Marbury received the ball without a suitable opportunity to pass it to Lehi.
It was already the last few seconds, Wade pressed up directly, but Lehi turned around and squeezed past Wade, he didn't choose to shoot immediately, but went directly to the basket.
O'Neill pounced on him with a fierce look, and Lehi was not afraid at all, he took a European step and picked the ball in close to O'Neal.
If it was stricter, this ball could have blown O'Neal for a foul, but at this critical moment, the referee's whistle did not sound, and Lehi hit a two-point shot, and the time ran out, 99:99, and the two sides went into overtime again.
In the second overtime, the Knicks attacked first, and after halftime, Lehi received the ball with a reverse run, at which time Knicks' main center Kurt Thomas had left the court with six fouls, and Lehi beckoned Morris Taylor, who came off the bench, to cover for him.
Lehi bypassed Wade's defense and pulled up for a three-point shot.
He jumped so fast that the basketball was almost flat in the air.
The three-pointer hit and the entire Madison Square Garden resounded with a huge cheer.
Wade wanted to return the color, but he defended Lehi from the beginning of overtime, and his physical strength also reached a bottleneck, and he hit the iron directly in the middle of the shot.
Wade was not discouraged, changed his approach in the next offense, and unswervingly rushed inside, and Knick Scott Thomas went down without a player to protect the basket, allowing Wade to make several successful fouls.
Lehi has also strengthened the breakthrough, O'Neal has already committed five fouls, and his physical strength has reached the limit, and he definitely cannot lose to the opponent at this time.
He received the ball in the low post, squeezed a hard step inside, and when Eddie Jones came over and hit him, he went to the middle and forced his way to the basket.
O'Neal, who seemed to have some difficulty moving, suddenly let out a loud roar, and his big body jumped up violently, pressing on the ball in Lehi's hand.
The ball was capped on the ground, but Lehi didn't have any frustration, and quickly slapped it, and it was strong again.
