Back to the Clippers vs. Heat game.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Clippers led with a score of 55:49.
The Heat replaced, Yuhang replaced Butler, replaced Jovic for Hiero, replaced Dedmon, and replaced Adebayor.
The Clippers still use their lineup from the second quarter.
Butler's speed is obvious, much faster in the first quarter.
Yuhang even thought that Butler had traveled through time and had a golden finger that could only be used in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
But Yuhang asked the system, and the system said Butler did not have a system.
Although Leonard has excellent physical strength, he was obviously a little tired after fighting against Yuhang for a period.
And due to the decline in physical strength, Leonard's shooting percentage has also dropped a bit.
Butler continuously rushed inside, and then passed the ball to Hiero on the outside. Hiero raised his knife and directly hit a three-pointer.
About three minutes into the third quarter, the Heat tied the score and the score became 60. Hiero and Vincent hit consecutively, three three-pointers. Adebayor also grabbed the rebound and dunked directly. Got in.
Seeing the Heat's momentum, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue immediately called a timeout.
Next, Tyronn Lue's arrangement is to expand the overall defense one step further, so that the opponent's three-pointer is not so easy to shoot, and adopt a non-double-teaming tactic for Butler's defense. Leonard defends Butler alone and must not let him The opponent's group of three-point shooters from outside the perimeter have open opportunities.
This is how the Clippers defended next, but they did not expect Butler's strength in the third quarter.
Butler scored 18 points in the third quarter and started a cutting-off mode with Leonard. Leonard relied on his robot-like offense that would not deform even if he was double-teamed, and scored 14 points in the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 86:83, with the Heat leading.
In the 4th quarter, Butler turned into a murderer, and Yuhang was dumbfounded.
I can break through, I can make three-pointers, and I can pass the ball. It's impossible to do anything.
In the fourth quarter, Paul George tied the score with a three-pointer. In the entire fourth quarter, Paul George scored 15 points and hit five three-pointers.
However, all the limelight of Paul George was overshadowed by Butler.
Butler makes various passes inside and outside. When the shooting rate from the outside is very high, Butler can attack inside with peace of mind, because the opponent will hesitate whether to pass or shoot.
With 20 seconds left, the Heat led the Clippers by 7 points.
Heat offense.
The Clippers began man-to-man coverage throughout the game.
Butler was fouled by Paul George as soon as he received Adebayo's pass.
Butler went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
"Big heart!!!" Yuhang shouted excitedly towards Butler!
The Clippers attacked, and in 5 seconds, Paul George dribbled the ball to half court and then shot the ball directly.
"boom!!!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame and Adebayor grabbed the rebound.
Leonard immediately fouled and sent Adebayor to the free throw line.
Adebayor made one of two free throws.
The score on the field became. 115:107 The Heat temporarily lead.
Zubac grabbed a backcourt rebound.
Paul George quickly passed the ball to Leonard, who had been rushing forward.
Leonard dunked with both hands after catching the ball.
The score on the court is currently 115:109. The Heat only lead the Clippers by 6 points, and the game ends with ten seconds left.
