If James' early play in the first half was something Thibodeau did not expect, then Sun Xiaotian's burst without warning at the beginning of the third quarter was even more unexpected by the whole Heat team.

Sun Xiaotian slashed 24 points in the entire third quarter, narrowing the score to 7 points by himself, Sun Xiaotian did not rest for 1 minute in the third quarter, and of course James too.

After all, James is not iron-clad, originally wanted to pocket the game early, but Sun Xiaotian's madness also broke the deployment of the Heat team, in fact, Si Shuai also admitted in his heart that he underestimated the enemy, so he needed to remedy it quickly, after all, there was still a quarter of time.

James had to rest in the fourth quarter, and Wade was also on his back with 4 fouls at this time, and he couldn't play for the time being. And what made Si Shuai scratch his head, Sun Xiaotian didn't plan to rest in the fourth quarter, for this young and powerful young man, Si Shuai had no way for a while.

Thibodeau originally wanted Sun Xiaotian to rest for the final battle, but Sun Xiaotian told Thibodeau, "I'm fine, I feel that today I am full of strength, I am not tired at all!" And I feel it now, and I don't want to waste it."

In order to share the pressure on Sun Xiaotian, Thibodeau handed over the burden of the attack to Lu Erdeng. Thibodeau clearly understands that Sun Xiaotian can pose a threat to the Heat's defense with only one minute on the court, which is one of the reasons why Thibodeau put Luerdeng on the bench, for the purpose of the team's offensive continuity.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Sun Xiaotian changed his role, from the offensive endpoint to the offensive initiation point. And through the role adaptation in the second half of the third quarter, Ruhr Deng slowly found the rhythm of the offense.

Sun Xiaotian and Gibson's blocking, coupled with the cross-running of Lee and Ruhr Deng, and the threat of Radmanovic to the outside, the Bulls ball ran extremely smoothly, and Ruer Deng repeatedly hit the outside shot. With nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Bulls narrowed the score to 1 point!

87 to 86!

The Heat were forced to call another timeout, and when the timeout returned, James came on at the same time.

After James came on the court, his role was the same as Sun Xiaotian, from a terminator to a tandem, and the team's offense was handed over to Wade. Wade has only played 23 minutes so far, mostly because of too many fouls, and has scored only seven points.

After the Heat replaced Janeway, the Bulls also made substitutions, replacing Radmanovic and replacing Butler to improve the rotation speed.

In the playoffs this season, the Heat Big Three Bosh was disappointing on the offensive end, but Wade's performance was also unsatisfactory.

Especially in the seven games against the Pacers in the semifinals, Wade's shooting rate was only 40%, and now many people look at Wade as the omnipotent Flash who is still stuck in the 2006 playoffs, but don't forget that Wade is 31 years old at this time.

Since Wade entered the league, Wade has never been a breakthrough player who relies solely on breakthroughs, he has enough offensive weapons, but in the past it has been too good to break through this weapon to make people too impressive.

In recent seasons, the most important impact of the knee on Wade has been a matter of confidence. When you feel that your explosive power cannot reach 100%, you will hesitate to do the action. Especially in a championship team, with an all-round teammate like LeBron around him, it takes a lot of effort to find and balance the team chemistry. At present, Wade is more likely to choose to hand over shots and even the ball. In fact, the shrinkage of data comes more from the decline in the number of shots, which is also accompanied by the instability of efficiency.

In addition, the biggest problem with the knee to Wade and even Miami is that Wade really can't burst into the basket as freely as he used to. Wade's breakthrough is not just as simple as two points, this is the most powerful offensive weapon when Miami is at a stalemate, the offensive tactics cannot work, and no one can score. Whether or not you can score points at such a moment determines the championship to a considerable extent.

……

Wade was full of energy on the offensive end after he came on the court, maybe there was no pressure in his heart, anyway, he had already committed 4 fouls, and he was sent off.

In the face of Lee's defense, Wade's first move was surprisingly fast. With Bosh's cover, a throw from the free throw line, the Heat players could only look at the ball and sigh, and then assisted Chalmers to hit a three-pointer, and the Heat quickly stabilized the situation.

Thibodeau hurriedly called a timeout.

"You're all right?" Thibodeau asked Sun Xiaotian.

"No problem!"

"Okay, you go to defend Dwynne, it's done!"

Sun Xiaotian was stunned.

Today's game is definitely a good year for Sun Xiaotian, and being able to play against James and Wade in the playoffs is an experience that money can't buy.

In fact, Sun Xiaotian's physical fitness is also a problem at this time, although Wade is 31 years old, but experience and today's sufficient physical fitness make him more confident in the face of Sun Xiaotian's defense.

Facing Sun Xiaotian, Wade took a cross step, and the stride was very large, and then a probe step, making Sun Xiaotian mistakenly think that Wade was going to break through. Sun Xiaotian hurriedly retreated, and at this time, Gibson also raised his hand to prevent Wade from breaking in!

At this time, Wade's physical fitness is fine, and the most effective weapon for him is to break through. He didn't do that, though, and he saw that Gibson's up-and-go would inevitably create an empty basket. He hit the ground with one hand, and James shook off Butler with a reverse run in the bottom left corner, almost catching the ball while jumping, and poured the ball directly into the basket.

came back to face Sun Xiaotian's attack, at this time, Sun Xiaotian broke through head-on, affected by the decline in physical strength, the first step was very slow, and he couldn't break through Wade's ten finger level at all.

Wade gave the ball to Ruer Deng, who was on the outside, and he sat with Wade trying to play with his back to himself. Lu Erdeng willifully gave the ball to Sun Xiaotian for the first time, and the others hurriedly pulled it away.

With his back to Wade, Sun Xiaotian dribbled twice in succession, only to feel that the soles of his feet were weak. Wade suddenly made a move behind his back and slapped the ball from Sun Xiaotian's armpit, and Sun Xiaotian sat directly on the ground with a soft soles of his feet. Wade picked up the ball and passed it to the front court for the first time, Chalmers threw it into the air, and James took off on the other side, and the tomahawk split the frame in the air.

Look at Sun Xiaotian at this time, pinching his waist and standing in the backcourt, bowing his head and panting, sweat droplets kept sliding down his forehead, it was obvious that his physical strength was exhausted, at this time there were still 5 minutes before the end of the game, and the score on the field was stretched to 8 points.

When he walked off the court, Sun Xiaotian only felt that his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't move, and what was even worse was that Wade, who was familiar and often changed the direction of the game in the last quarter, came back quietly at this time! (To be continued.) )
