The trajectories of history can be so strikingly similar.

Heat fans remembered the situation when the Heat reached the Finals for the first time five years ago, the same expedition to the West, the same being beaten by the Mavericks who swept the league at the time, and trailing the opponent 0-2 in the Finals. At that time, Wade, the soul of the Heat team after returning to Miami, stepped up and incarnated as a god from the third game, 42, 36, 43, 36, averaging 39.25 points per game in four games, almost single-handedly overturning the Mavericks.

Now against the mighty Timberwolves, they are also 0-2 behind, and fans are thinking about whether someone will stand up in the crisis this time and save the Heat.

Basketball experts analyzed the second game, the Heat obviously had hope of winning, and even in the last minute, there was still a chance to equalize. But back-to-back missed three-point jumpers cost them the victory, and the biggest problem the Heat currently have is that they have two of the league's strongest wing breakups, but they don't have a ranged battery that is configured accordingly.

Then there are three games in Miami, and the Timberwolves coaching staff is confident that the series will be completed within those three games. The worst result, which is to win only one game, is to be able to win match points.

Thibodeau's biggest dissatisfaction with the Timberwolves' first two games was Afflalo's defense against Wade. Wade is fast and explosive, and Afraro can entangle with Kobe, but there is nothing he can do about Wade's domineering and unreasonable breakthrough. It's simply that Wade doesn't have Kobe's terrifying mid-range shooting ability like Kobe, and when he breaks through to the basket, Jordan Jr. wipes his ass, so Wade's efficiency is not very high.

The third match between the two sides will take place on June 5.

The Timberwolves came to Miami two days early to familiarize themselves with the venue, a city that is one of the few places in the country to support James, and the red spot looks like it's going to be a holiday. Where the team bus drove by, Zheng Ke saw the finals publicity flags flying everywhere, as well as huge posters of the whole Heat team.

Timberwolves players discuss the game in Miami on the bus, after two Finals games. A few inexperienced newcomers to the squad are not as simple as they were at the beginning.

At this time, Lefu began to brag about his performance when he first entered the finals, "You know, I was a rookie who had just entered the league, but I was facing Turkoglou, a Turkish all-star in the league with a 10-million-level contract. But I did not flinch in the face of difficulties, and when I fought all the way from the west, I encountered even more terrible enemies - Aldridge and Gasol. Yao. It honed my tenacity and eventually made it a big hit against the Magic."

Like Ty Gibson, Marcus Thornton and Pekovic, who came later, they are envious of Love to get a championship ring, and they are extremely excited to be able to reach the top with the Timberwolves right away. This is the biggest affirmation for a basketball player.

Heat fans won a championship once in '06, which was their first time in the Finals, and now it's the second time they've reached the Finals, just like the Timberwolves. The basketball atmosphere in the whole city is still relatively strong, and some die-hard fans still run very "traditionally" to disturb the dreams of Timberwolves players.

In the evening, the players played.

There are still a lot of Chinese fans in Miami, and Zheng Ke received a lot of cheers when he played. Of course, there was also the biggest boo, cheers and boos intertwined, and it sounded particularly weird.

The Heat starting lineup, with Money, Wade, James, Haslem and Bosh. It was a line-up that was close to the second game, and Spoelstra made a decisive change after seeing that Haslem partnered Bosh more effectively than Joel Anthony started in the second game. The starting lineup on the Timberwolves' side is still unchanged, with Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love and Jordan Jr.

Billups made it clear to Lowry. If both of them stay with the Timberwolves next year, he's willing to give up his starting spot.

He's not young, his physical strength has declined so much that it's no longer realistic to be a starter and fight with the league's unique point guard every night. Shortening playing time as a substitute is more efficient and helps the team. Billups is optimistic about the competitiveness of the Timberwolves in the next ten years, thinking that if the Timberwolves are old, he doesn't know how many championships he can win with Zheng Ke.

Like O'Neal said, with Jordan, my grandma can also win the championship.

Zheng Ke is such a strong confidence. So when the Timberwolves players came on the court, they were very imposing, and the away disadvantage didn't make them feel afraid, and the bandit spirit in their bones came out again, thinking about having a good time at the American Airlines Center.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams were evenly matched.

The Heat were very resolute about Zheng Ke's packing, using top-tier packs like Wade and James. Both of them are physical perverted supermen, and the inclusion of Zheng Ke greatly reduced the chance of Zheng Ke's shot, Zheng Ke began to change his strategy, focusing on organizing the team's offense, and the outside line set up the three batteries of Love, Afraro and Billups, and the three shared the opportunity to shoot in the first quarter, and the Timberwolves led by 3 points 27-24.

In the second quarter of the game, James did not rest, and the Timberwolves had a bad hand, several excited bench shots kept hitting iron, and there was only one success in the 5-minute sports battle. No way, the feel of this thing is the most wonderful, although the Timberwolves are not a team that completely relies on shooting, but the proportion of the outside focus is still very large, once you can't shoot, the gods are difficult to save.

Zheng Ke was substituted early, and failed to hit several shots, and the Heat overtook the Timberwolves.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Timberwolves warmed up, and Zheng Ke also broke through to the inside and got a few free throw opportunities, and all of them were booed by the home fans.

21.8 seconds before halftime, Wade launched an attack at the top of the arc, with the help of Bosh to block and dismantle after a dragon to the basket, Jordan Jr. jumped up to make up for the defense, Wade kicked the ground with both legs, bowed his waist and tomahawk, sideways dodged Jordan Jr.'s defensive range, and completed a very visually impactful dunk with a "clang".

Little Jordan becomes the background, and his face is ugly.

The audience cheered the name of the Flash at this time, and Wade clenched his fists and roared under the basket, obviously holding a smoldering fire in his heart, and he had long wanted to vent.

After that, Zheng Ke's three-point jumper in the last attack missed, and the Timberwolves trailed the Heat by seven points at halftime 46-53, and morale was greatly reduced.

Thibodeau asked the Timberwolves to play inside, and when they don't feel good, they can score in other ways, and the Heat's weak interior defense is not only for the interior offense, but also for the offense of the outside players entering the interior. Therefore, Thibodeau drew a lot of tactical lines, arranged a reasonable tactical plan for the Timberwolves to cut or break through, and prepared to chisel inside at the beginning of the second half.

The Heat were in high spirits and attacked fiercely at the start of the second half.

James and Wade hit three-pointers from the outside, and the Heat extended their lead further. Under Thibodeau's arrangement, the Timberwolves began to break through to the inside, Zheng Ke and Afflaro were the main attackers of this inside breakthrough, and the two of them cut and ran back with the ball, and the offense was also very intense.

It's a pity that the whole Heat team was particularly brave in the cheering of the home fans today, and Bosh grabbed ten rebounds not long after the third quarter, and in the confrontation with Lefou, it seems that he has become the super dragon king of Toronto who averaged 24 points and 12 rebounds per game.

Zheng Ke did not rest after the start of the second half, played the entire third quarter, but did not achieve much, his score was rising, but the team was in a backward situation.

By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves trailed the Heat by 10 points, 68-78.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Zheng Ke broke out. First, he hit a three-point shot from the outside, then received a pass from Afflalo, and hit a one-step drifter jumper. James caused Zheng Ke to foul and hit two free throws in response. Zheng Ke faced James from the outside, directly hit a step-by-step jump shot, and single-handedly hit a small "gaochao" of 8-2, helping the Timberwolves only fall behind by 4 points at 66-80 at the beginning of the final quarter.

Spoelstra was taken aback, he had just finished an interview with ESPN reporters when the Heat suddenly lost much of their lead, and he felt like he was asking for a timeout.

The home fans are disappointed, and there are some shadows in their hearts, the Timberwolves' offense is so perverted, is it going to be reversed again? (To be continued.)
