Chapter 287: The Mutation Before the Violent Buckle

The second quarter quickly began, and the Heat made another lineup change, with center Anthony being replaced and a heavyweight, Eric Dampier.

Dampier is a very strong player, and his best skill is to grab rebounds from the spot, but he is probably best known for being a laughing stock after he was called the second center in the West.

Dampier averaged six points and seven rebounds per game with the Dallas Mavericks last season, and this season he joined the Heat, who formed the Big Three, just to fight for a championship.

In addition, the Heat's point guard was also replaced by Mario Chalmers, who was drafted with the fourth pick in the second round in 2008 and averaged 7 points and 3 assists per game last season.

One thing that Chalmers has to mention is that in the 2008 NcAA final, it was his University of Kansas who scored consecutive points in the final minute of the second half to drag the game into overtime, and then reversed Derrick Rose's University of Memphis to win the championship in overtime.

Chalmers was the key man who hit a long-range three-pointer at a critical moment in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime.

The Wizards changed the starting lineup again, and Sanders decided to play for a while to see how things were going and bring on other benches as appropriate.

At the beginning of the game, Wade held the ball and used the block to break through to the restricted area, and then faced Blatch's defense and missed the layup.

Brackey's help defense allowed Dampier to find a place under the basket, and Li Kaiming was still a little far from the basket and did not protect the backcourt rebound.

Dampier grabbed the rebound in the front court and passed to Bosh, who faced Li Kaiming's tight defense and hit the iron with a mid-range shot, Blatch picked up the rebound and handed it to Hinrich, who dribbled to the front court and then turned with the center as a two, Brackey's inside cut attracted the Heat's defensive formation to shrink.

Hinrich directly gave the ball to Li Kaiming on the outside, and Bosh quickly returned to defense, but Li Kaiming made a shooting feint to point up Bosh's defensive center of gravity, and then suddenly broke through to the three-point line, and threw the ball above the basket in the face of Dampier's help defense!

Bradch, who had already run to the basket, took off and dunked with both hands!

26 to 24!

The Heat attacked, Chalmers dribbled to the front court and blocked with Dampier, and after reaching the three-point line, he attracted the bag and passed to Wade on the outside, Wade did not shoot directly, but did not hesitate to rush to the basket.

While Blatch was on the floor, the Wizards' rim was still guaranteed, and Wade saw that there was no chance for a layup and distributed the ball to the mid-range Chalmers, who ignored Hinrich's blindfolded defense and hit directly from 12 feet from the basket!

28 to 24!

The Wizards attacked, Li Kaiming asked for the ball with his back in the waist position, the Wizards opened up space, Hinrich passed the ball to Li Kaiming's hands with a hit, and the Heat did not cover it at the first time, because they all believed in Bosh's defensive ability in the low post.

Li Kaiming got off the ball and carried it on his back, feeling Bosh's force, and then suddenly burst out of power, directly pushing Bosh back a step!

Bosh didn't expect the strength of a rookie to be so terrifying, he didn't even react, a huge force hit him, and he had to take a step back in order to maintain his balance.

And Li Kaiming used Bosh's retreat kung fu to directly turn around and face the basket backwards for a jumper, Bosh's reaction was also very fast, but Li Kaiming's shot was high and fast, and with a backward angle, the basketball flew out of Li Kaiming's fingertips, and then hollowed into the net!

28 to 26!

The Heat attacked, and James, who had been silent for a while, stood up again, this time he used a reverse run to get rid of Lewis and hit the three-point line, Chalmers hit the ball to the restricted area, James picked up the ball and hit the basket directly, causing Bradge's foul!

Blatch felt a little wronged, and he didn't think he had any problems defending this time, but the referee on the baseline ignored his complaint and motioned for James to make a free throw.

James hit two free throws this time, and the difference between the two teams remained at 4 points.

The Wizards attacked, and this time the Heat began to prevent Li Kaiming from receiving the ball in the waist position, and Hinrich had to organize the offense by himself, and he used the block to get rid of Chalmers and then passed the ball to Lewis on the outside.

The chances of this ball were not good, but Lewis couldn't find someone to catch the pot for a while, and finally shot against James's defense.

As expected, the three-point iron, Dampier under the basket picked up the rebound on the spot, handed it to Wade to quickly dribble to the frontcourt, and the Heat was ready to play a transition fast break.

But the Wizards' defense was also very aggressive, and the first wave of the Heat's offense was blocked, and the game went into a positional battle.

The ball has been transmitted on the outside a few times and has no chance, in fact, there are still opportunities, but the projection of the Heat outside is more stretched, and the Wizards basically take a step when defending, but no one in the Heat dares to shoot.

In the end, he gave the ball to James for a single, who stepped out of the eight legs and rushed to the basket without hesitation, Lewis couldn't keep up with James at all, and was stuck in one step.

Hinrich helped the defense in time to cut off James' direct attack on the basket, but the latter used a small pass to Dampier under the basket.

Bracy immediately returned to defense, Dampier slapped the ball under the basket against Bracy, and then hit the board for a layup with his left hand, Bracy's confrontation made him lose control of his power, and the ball was thrown over the bridge!

Li Kaiming on the other side hurriedly protected the rebound and passed to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt.

Bosh couldn't wait to stick the whole person on Li Kaiming, just to prevent the latter from receiving the ball, Hinrich knew that he might have to waste a lot of time if he wanted to find Li Kaiming in this round, so he simply played by himself, called a cover and threw in the mid-range defense against Dampier.

Dampier does have a set of defensive positions, and Hinrich's shooting was actually covered by him!

James, who was standing in the waist position, saw this and quickly won the rebound, and then launched a fast break again, Wade and Bosh also rushed down on the other side.

The threat of the Big Three in the fast break is indeed very big, and Li Kaiming is the only one in the Wizards team who can keep up with these guys, but he can only guard one person.

James dribbled to the three-point line and passed the ball to Wade, who reached the three-point line, and Li Kaiming immediately rushed to the restricted area and raised his hands to cover Wade to prevent the latter from making a layup.

And at this time, the third giant Bosh also rushed to the penalty area, and Wade directly passed the ball to Bosh from behind, and there was no one to defend the basket at this time!

Nick Young, who was following behind, pulled Bosh down directly and paid for a foul to send Bosh to the free throw line.

The foul also successfully activated the official timeout, and with eight minutes left in the second quarter, the Heat rotated players again, replacing LeBron James with James Jones.

Sanders on the Wizards' side also plans to make substitutions, and the game has not rested so far Li Kaiming, Hinrich and others, without Alssoton, tonight will definitely be a tough battle, and the starters must ensure sufficient physical strength.

Sanders replaced Hinrich for Lester Hudson, Sun Yue for Nick Young, Trevor Booker for Lewis, and Yi Jianlian for Li Kaiming.

Bradge is the only one left in the starting lineup, and he will be the core of the team during this time.

And the benefits of the Big Three on the Heat's side are evident at this time, Spo can use reasonable rotation to ensure that one or two giants are on the court at any time, so that even if the Heat's roster depth is average, it can deal with most teams.

The Wizards' lineup was beaten 13-6 in four minutes against the Heat's rotation led by Wade and Bosh.

Although Blatch is brave enough on the inside, after all, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and the defense of the Wizards' rotation lineup is simply giving away points against a breakthrough god like Wade.

So when the score between the two sides was beaten to 43-32, Sanders finally couldn't help but call a timeout, and if he didn't change the starter, the game would be spent!

Li Kaiming and the other four went into battle again, and Blatch was replaced and took McGee.

On the Heat side, James has also rested enough, the rotation lineup has completed their task, and Coach Spo has once again put on the combination of the Big Three of Gadampier and Arroyo.

At the end of the timeout, the game began, the Wizards sent the baseline ball to Hinrich, and after reaching the front court, Hinrich and McGee blocked and dismantled, and then first broke through to the three-point line, and then suddenly stopped and withdrew, McGee had already gone down to the free throw line after blocking and dismantling, and Hinrich passed the ball directly to McGee.

Dampier's movement speed can be completely coped with McGee, McGee goes to the basket directly after taking the ball, but he belongs to the kind of center who is good at running and jumping, Dampier's strong downward power directly pushed McGee away from the basket, and finally McGee had no choice but to throw a shot, but this kind of delicate work is really a little difficult for him to do, as unrealistic as forcing Zhang Fei to embroider.

Not surprisingly, McGee's layup barely touched the basket, Dampier picked up the rebound and handed it to James to dribble to the frontcourt, in the face of Lewis's defense, James did not hesitate to the frontcourt, directly launched a tank breakthrough and rushed into the interior, attracting the attention of McGee who protected the frame under the basket, and threw the ball out to Wade outside the three-point line.

Wade was a little hesitant after receiving the ball, this ball opportunity is really good, Nick Young has shrunk into the box, leaving him with a lot of space.

After a short period of thought, Wade gritted his teeth and shot a three-pointer, only to hear a bang, a crisp sound of iron sounded on the court, and McGee took advantage of his height and reach to pick up the rebound on the head of a bunch of people on the inside and passed it to Hinrich.

Li Kaiming seized the opportunity to play quickly, as long as he can push the counterattack up, he is confident that he can fill in the difference before the end of halftime!

The Heat's defense speed is also very fast, but Li Kaiming's speed is faster, and even James and Wade can barely keep up with Li Kaiming without the ball.

In the blink of an eye, Li Kaiming has rushed all the way from the three-point line in the backcourt to the three-point line in the frontcourt, and at the same time he stretched out his index finger in his right hand and pointed to the sky.

So Hinrich threw the ball to the basket near the halfway line without hesitation, Li Kaiming's speed did not decrease at all, and after estimating the distance, he kicked off directly at the free throw line!

Wade, who was chasing behind Li Kaiming, saw that he had no chance and directly gave up the defense, but James on the side suddenly accelerated and rushed up!

On the commentary bench, Reid had involuntarily stood up, "LeBron's hat chase is his best shot on the defensive end, he accelerates, jumps!" ”

James used his sprinting speed to catch up with Li Kaiming in the air, and at this time, Li Kaiming also successfully caught Hinrich's pass in the air.

Just as he twisted his torso in the air, about to pick a windmill in the air and buckle it again, an external force suddenly came from his waist, and this force was not too big or small, just enough to make him lose his balance......
