At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides fought off the bench.

The Pacers are Al Harrington, Fred Jones, Jamison Brewer......

The Heat are led by Butler, Haslem and Grant.

Harrington and Butler are both capable of competing for the best sixth man, and it is another Mars collision with the Earth.

Half a quarter passed, 31:31, and the two sides were tied.

The managers of both sides began to line up.

Carlisle brings on Artest against Butler.

Da Fan sent Li Lei to target Artest.

Carlisle brings on Reggie Miller to score.

Dafan sent Odom to organize the attack.

……

However, Coach Dafan's reaction was always one step slower than Carlisle, and the Pacers relied on Carlisle's on-court adaptability to open up the gap again.

End of half, 46:40.

The Pacers lead by six points.

Throughout the second quarter, Li Lei was stared at by Artest and scored two points with only free throws.

Of course, Li Lei also made Artest almost scoreless, and in the entire second quarter, Artai shot 1 of 4 and scored only 2 points.

At halftime, Li Lei got off the field and ushered in a tsunami of Miami fans.

Tonight's Li Lei is the best player on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the Heat.

On the offensive end, Li Lei scored a Heat team-high 13 points.

On the defensive end, Li Lei is also the most active, defending Artest, assisting O'Neal Jr., and blocking Tinsley......

Halftime.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun came to interview Li Lei again.

"Stone, you played a great game today, you have a good chance of breaking 20 points, are you confident?"

Zhang Weiping asked.

Li Lei smiled: "It's good to let this kind of thing go naturally, what I hope most is to win." ”

Zhang Weiping laughed: "Then I wish you success!" ”

On the other hand, Artest also gave an interview to the media.

"The Heat's rookie did a great job, he scored a lot of points."

"But in the second half, he won't have another chance, I'll defend him myself! I'll freeze him! ”

"Victory, Indiana!"

Artest said with a hideous expression.

This has made many domestic fans very worried.

"Beast" Artest, but a defensive titan who broke Jordan's ribs and gave Kobe, Maddy, and Pierce a headache for super scorers.

Artest defends Li Lei, Li Lei is estimated to be miserable.

Soon after the half-time break, the two sides returned to the court.

Surprisingly, veteran Reggie Miller was on the bench and Fred Jones started in place of him.

What's even more surprising is that Artest did not come to defend Li Lei, but continued to pester Eddie Jones.

What's the situation?

Artest scared?

It's a joke, of course!

"The Beast" Artest is already famous in the NBA, who has he been afraid of? Not to mention that the opponent is just a rookie.

However, this also made Chinese fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Artest does not defend against Li Lei, then Li Lei's defense will be much weaker, and he still has a chance to hit the record of 20 points tonight.

Li Lei on the court is also unpredictable.

Artest threatened to freeze him at halftime, only to come back in the second half and directly target Jones, could it be that what happened in the locker room?

Li Lei couldn't figure it out, so he could only put his energy into the game.

The Heat's No. 1 and No. 2 scorers are Odom and Jones.

Coming back in the second half, O'Neill Jr. and Artest continued to guard against these two, which was exactly the same as the situation in the first half.

So the Heat still have to have someone step up and score.

After analyzing these, Li Lei began to run.

Fortunately, at halftime, Coach Dafan expected it and designed a running tactic specifically for Li Lei.

Li Lei ran from the bottom corner to the free throw line.

Odom and Li Lei, who were holding the ball, passed the ball with one hand, and then blocked the chasing Fred Jones with their bodies.

Li Lei got rid of Fred smoothly, adjusted outside the three-point line, and shot directly.

O'Neal Jr., who switched defenses, was a little hesitant and was a step slower to pounce on the defense.

Swish!

Li Lei scored the first three-pointer in the second half.

He's got 16 points.

The score was 46-43, and the Heat were still three points behind.

The Pacers attack.

Nearly 20,000 Miami fans cheered on the home team under the leadership of the live DJ: "Defend! Defend! Defend! ”

The Pacers still play O'Neal Jr., after all, O'Neal Jr.'s advantage over Odom is visible to the naked eye.

Odom really couldn't bear O'Neal Jr., and was pushed back again and again by the latter.

Jones Sr. pounced and helped Odom defend.

O'Neal Jr. saw it in his eyes and immediately distributed the ball to Fred Jones, who was in the vacant spot.

Li Lei pounced on the defense.

Fred gave it to Artest again.

Artest adjusted his three-point shot.

Li Lei returned to defend Artest, and his pace was amazingly fast, which caused a lot of interference.

Bang dang!

Artest's three-pointer didn't score.

Cato struggled to squeeze Foster away and pick up the rebound.

Miami fans cheer!

The Heat came up and scored all the offense and defense, and one more three-pointer could be a draw.

The Heat attack.

Odom continues to get the ball at the free-throw line.

Li Lei ran to get rid of Fred, but Fred fought hard this time, sticking to Li Lei like a piece of kraft candy.

Li Lei ran a cross with Odom and struggled to get rid of Fred.

But O'Neill Jr. changed his defense very decisively this time, and immediately pounced on Li Lei, who still had no chance.

However, seeing Odom cut to the basket, Li Lei's eyes lit up and he hung the ball in.

Odom catches the ball.

Fred pesters Odom to stop him.

But Odom jumped up from the ground and forcibly bombed the hoop against Fred's entanglement.

Bang!

46：45。

Fred simply couldn't stop Odom and the Heat trailed by just one point.

Don't look at Odom being bullied by O'Neal Jr., after all, it's a matter of looking at people, O'Neal Jr. is a big forward who can explode with Duncan.

Replaced by Fred, Odom wants to pinch into a round pinch, and wants to pinch into a flat pinch.

"Beautiful! The stone passed the ball beautifully, just played like that, and the combination of scoring and passing was very reasonable. ”

Zhang Weiping shouted in the broadcast seat.

Su Qun cooperated: "The stone scored a lot of points today, and it also passed on several wonderful legends, wonderful!" ”

The Heat are more morale-boosting.

The Pacers attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Pacers made a substitution.

Reggie Miller replaces Jamal Tinsley in the No. 1 position.

The Pacers don't want the No. 1 spot anymore.

Coach Carlisle will play.

However, Fred Jones can also complete the task of dribbling the ball across half court and passing to O'Neal Jr.

Or O'Neal Jr. draws the defense in the low post and then distributes the ball to teammates on the perimeter.

This time it was Reggie Miller, and the elder Miller took the ball and shot, but it was much more decisive than Artest.

It was too late for Li Lei to make up for the defense.

Swish!

Miller Sr.'s three-pointer also scored.

49：45。

The Pacers' lead is back to four points.

The key moment depends on the veteran.

A ruthless three-pointer directly extinguished the Heat's scoring momentum.

The two teams struggled until the end of the third quarter.

67：61。

The Heat trailed almost the time, but they didn't let the margin widen.

And Li Lei has scored 18 points in the third quarter, only one goal away from 20 points.

Bill Wharton lamented: "This Heat team is really resilient, they've been holding on for three quarters. ”

Bryn nodded: "The gap in strength is relatively large, Wade is injured again, and the Heat can still play like this, which is really good." The difference between the points of the two teams is not big, and there will still be a fierce game in the fourth quarter, which will definitely be good! ”
