Wang Zhuo changed the lineup, O'Quinn and Grant are full of momentum, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, suitable for running and bombing, but the playoffs are tough battles, solid basic skills and rich experience are more important, Calderon and Lopez are players who have experienced the baptism of the playoffs, and they know how to control the situation on the court at the decisive moment.

The Heat attacked, and Wade used sharp breakthroughs to tear apart the Knicks' defense with sharp breaks, adding points to the Heat, and the difference was only 1 point.

At the critical moment, it was the superstar who needed to step up, Wade knew very well what he had to do, and after nearly three quarters, it was finally time to show his vicious fangs.

Wang Zhuo knows that this is a dangerous signal, and once Wade plays dominant, the morale of the Heat at home will be greatly boosted, and at that time, it will be much more difficult for the Knicks to win.

The Knicks served in the backcourt, Calderon stabilized his rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, Lopez mentioned a high block, Calderon bypassed Lopez and burst inside, Ruel Deng moved from one side to help defend, and Calderon distributed the ball to Anthony.

At this time, Lopez has not yet withdrawn to the inside, Anthony dribbles laterally, falls in front of Lopez, and borrows Lopez's cover to make a stop-and-go jumper, due to Lopez's cover, Ru Erdeng's defensive line is completely blocked, Anthony is equivalent to an empty shot, the ball falls steadily into the basket, and the net is brushed.

Looking back, Wade hit the inside line again, hit a small throw, turned on the killing mode, and was almost unstoppable, even if it was a local joint defense, Wade was fearless.

The Heat's bench was out of control, Haslem was overly excited, happy and sad, threw the towel on the court, and was whistled by the referee for a technical foul, and the Heat's home fans immediately responded to the referee with "boos", which is enough to show that the atmosphere in the stadium was brought to a climax by Wade.

Anthony hit a technical free throw, the Knicks continued to attack, and the fans booed the referee and booed the players, which made the Knicks' players' thoughts affected a little, especially Porzingis, who did not experience strong winds and waves, and made low-level mistakes on the offensive end.

Wade stealed, the backcourt went down, a dragon dribbled to the front court and made a layup, 78:78, the score was tied, and the last 5 minutes of the game remained, and the two sides returned to the same running line.

The most worrying thing for Wang Zhuo still happened, at the decisive moment, there were unnecessary mistakes, and the opponent was beaten to convert the offense, which was too deadly, which is also the reason why Wang Zhuo replaced Grant and O'Quinn, the playoffs are different from the regular season, the game is more intense, the physical confrontation is stronger, and it is difficult for rookies who have just entered the league to adapt and will make mistakes that should not be made.

The situation on the court completely turned to the Heat, Wang Zhuo signaled the referee to pause, if this continues, the Knicks may be beaten by Wade alone.

"As long as Dwayne gets the ball, don't think about anything, pinch it, pass the ball to the inside line, Cristaps, stop sleepwalking, win or lose, it's up to you!"

In the opening game, Wade took the lead, after Wade was restricted, the Knicks led all the way, and now Wade is rampage again, and the situation on the court is once again biased towards the Heat.

If you want to turn the situation around, it is not enough to rely on the bag and clamp, but also to play a good offense, the biggest drawback of the Heat's big and four small lineup is that the inside line is weak, Wang Zhuo is to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, give full play to Porzingis's height advantage, and focus on the inside.

The mistake just now caused the Knicks to fall into a passive situation, and Porzingis was already guilty, but he didn't expect Wang Zhuo to hand over the responsibility of offense to him, so he secretly decided to make up for his mistakes and live up to Wang Zhuo's trust.

At the end of the timeout, the Knicks attacked, Calderon dropped the ball to the inside, Porzingis received the ball, remembering Wang Zhuo's encouragement, an inexplicable force surged in his body, facing Whiteside behind him, he shook his shoulders, turned around and took small steps, and became angry at Whiteside.

Whiteside is the regular season block king, Bosh is out for the season, he almost single-handedly supported the Heat's restricted area, which shows his toughness on the defensive end, he didn't expect Porzingis to directly meet him for a dunk, only to see him jump hard, raise his arms high, and vow to intercept Porzingis.

"Bang!"

Porzingis was not afraid at all, his left hand was crossed in front of his chest, he held Whiteside, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and took advantage of his height to raise one arm high and force the ball into the basket through Whiteside with a burning momentum.

After the dunk, Porzingis clenched his right fist, turned around and roared, and ran back to the front court quickly, ignoring the bewildered Whiteside behind him.

On the offensive end, Wade reached out again to ask for the ball, Dragic hit the ground and passed, as soon as Wade received the ball, Avralo and Anthony came from both sides, Wade did not break through the space, had to dribble two steps, looking for space to pass, Ruel Deng received the ball outside, missed the three-point shot, and Lopez grabbed the defensive rebound.

Ruhr Deng defended Anthony, consuming a lot of energy on the defensive end, and when Wang Zhuo arranged the bag and clamp tactics, he strategically abandoned his point, and sure enough, Ruhr Deng did not feel good, and the Heat's offensive round ended in failure.

The Knicks didn't launch a fast break, Calderon controlled the ball steadily in the frontcourt, Anthony received a pass, Lopez blocked it high, Anthony broke through and knocked back, and Lopez missed a mid-range jumper.

Whiteside saw the direction of the ball popping up, bowed his body and prepared to jump, but he didn't expect that at the moment when he jumped and stretched out his hand, a white shadow suddenly flashed, Whiteside was taken aback, and when he reacted, Porzingis was already in the air, holding the ball with both hands, volleying and dunking, like a god descending to earth, splitting Huashan.

The Knicks' bench exploded instantly, and O'Quinn opened his mouth wide, twisted his ass and shook it with Grant, and actually belly danced on the sidelines.

The American Airlines arena fell silent, and Haslem sat on the bench, chin in his hands, dumbfounded, apparently not yet emerging from the gloom of a technical foul.

Heat offense, Wade was caught again, although Joe Johnson hit a shot against the defense, but they could not limit the momentum of the Knicks on the defensive end, Porzingis turned over on the inside, had to force the Heat to tighten the defense, at this time, the Knicks' three-point rain came at an inopportune time.

Afflaro ambushed the bottom corner, received Calderon's pass, hit a three-pointer, and turned around, Porzingis was powerful again, blocking Dragic's layup, the Knicks played a transition offense, Anthony hit a three-pointer, and the Heat's situation took a sharp turn, although there were still chasing points, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

In the end, 98-87, the Knicks took the lead at the American Airlines Arena and got the home-court advantage they shouldn't have.
