The score was 43:44, and the Heat were only one point behind.
Back on the court, the Nuggets attack.
The Nuggets added more pick-and-rolls to their offense to create open looks for teammates.
In the end, Porter, who relied on his physical talent to get out of the open space, shot the basketball with a two-stage jumper near the free throw line.
Hero tried hard to catch up with Porter, but was still a step too slow.
"Uh-huh!!!"
The basketball goes hollow into the net.
The score was once again tied at three points.
Heat offense.
Vincent dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Yuhang outside the three-point line on the right.
Gordon and Murray immediately came up and started to double-team Yuhang with their arms raised, not even giving Yuhang a chance to pass the ball.
Fortunately, Butler rushed up in time and took the ball from Yuhang.
This was the first time Yuhang had been treated like this, so he was still a little frightened and nervous when handling the ball.
At the same time, other members of the Heat seemed to be ignited by Yuhang's outstanding performance. The Heat's outside shooters began to revive, and Butler's personal abilities began to show off.
Due to the double-teaming of Yuhang, others had more opportunities. Butler immediately rushed inside. Porter had no choice but to move in to help defend Butler. Butler instantly distributed the ball to the outside again.
After receiving the ball from the three-point line on the right, Hiro took an open shot.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell directly into the basket.
"Ahahaha!" Hiro raised three fingers excitedly. This was his first three-pointer in this game.
This is also the first time in this game that the Heat have tied the point difference with the Nuggets.
After that, the score between the Heat and the Nuggets began to rise alternately.
At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two teams was 58:61, with the Nuggets temporarily leading.
Although Yuhang was tightly restricted by the Nuggets, the Heat still had Adebayor and Butler inside, as well as the Heat's shooters on the outside.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets still formulated defensive tactics against Aerospace, and Aaron Gordon and Murray executed them very well, allowing Aerospace to score no points at the beginning of the third quarter.
However, Yuhang restricted Murray very well defensively and did not allow Murray to get any open opportunities.
Fortunately, the Heat had a strong group of outside shooters and kept the score tight.
Jokic had also committed three fouls and did not dare to take advantage easily, allowing Adebayor to score two consecutive goals.
But in terms of offense, Jokic is still a very unsolvable existence. After all, he can also make mid-range shots and play from the bottom line. Although he is not very fast, he has flexible steps and a lot of strength.
And Porter Jr. also added fuel to the Nuggets' fire in time. He made 3 of 4 shots from the outside throughout the third quarter.
In the middle of the third quarter, Yuhang was replaced by coach Spoelstra and replaced by Jovic, allowing Yuhang to take a rest and increase the Heat's defensive height inside.
Coach Spoelstra is already very satisfied with Yuhang's performance, which completely exceeded his predetermined goals.
The two teams just clung to the score until the 4th quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 92:88, with the Nuggets temporarily leading.
The 4th quarter begins.
The two teams put on their strongest lineups.
Heat: Center Adebayo, forwards Butler and Astros, guards Herro and Martin.
Nuggets: Center Jokic, forwards Porter Jr. and Gordon, guards Murray and Pope.
At the beginning of the 4th quarter, Jokic was on full fire, scoring two consecutive goals toward the Heat's inside attack.
And Yuhang seemed to have adapted to Gordon and Murray's double team. He didn't panic after getting the ball. He immediately began to examine the positions of the players on the field. His height of 1.96 meters allowed him to see any player on the field. .
Although Yuhang can dribble past Murray, it is still difficult for Murray and Gordon to let him break through.
However, Aerospace has become a good containment point.
After all, with double teams, the Nuggets are equivalent to 3 on 4, so there must be an open space.
Yuhang directly distributed the ball to the vacated teammate.
The teammates also came out of their poor initial state and hit consecutive shots.
With 20 seconds left in the 4th quarter, the score between the two teams was tied at 115.
Coach Malone never changed his tactics and always double-teamed Yuhang.
Coach Malone looked at Yuhang on the court, his face full of: I would rather let your teammates shoot me to death than I can let you score.
Even in the second half of the 4th quarter, as long as Yuhang passed the midfield, the two people began to double-team Yuhang.
Fortunately, Butler was in hot form and hit consecutive mid-range shots in the paint in the 4th quarter.
Yuhang also found an opportunity to hit a three-pointer in the 4th quarter through the pick-and-roll.
At this time Jokic has committed four fouls.
Heat offense.
Vincent dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Butler outside the left three-point line.
Butler rushed inside and was immediately double-teamed by Porter Jr. and Jokic!
The two of them didn't make a move, but they stayed close to Butler and didn't give Butler any chance to play.
At this time, Yuhang and Martin exchanged looks.
Yuhang began to penetrate inside. Gordon wanted to catch up with Yuhang, but was blocked by Martin.
Butler saw Yuhang inserting inside and immediately passed the ball to Yuhang.
After receiving the ball, Yuhang dunked the basketball into the basket in three steps.
The Heat did not celebrate, did not dare to be careless, and immediately began to stare at their opponents.
The Nuggets have no more timeouts.
At this time, there are 10 seconds left for the Nuggets.
The Heat cannot foul at this time. Once a foul is committed and the opponent is sent to the free throw line, it will enter overtime.
The only thing you can do is not foul, not give three points, and try to defend it.
Nuggets offense.
Jokic was on the baseline and struggled to find an opportunity to pass the ball to Porter's route.
"Snapped!!!!"
Suddenly a big hand stopped the ball.
It was Yuhang's right hand that directly intercepted Jokic's pass.
This also means that the Nuggets have almost no hope.
Murray directly stretched out his hand to hit Yuhang's hand.
"Beep!! Nuggets No. 27 Jamal Murray committed a shooting foul, and the Heat made two free throws."
Yuhang stepped to the free throw line. This time Yuhang didn't dare to be careless. He changed to the most reliable free throw from the urinal.
"Is this guy from the circus? Why do you use this lame free throw gesture?"
"Are you mocking the Nuggets?"
"It's really annoying to mock the Nuggets from making free throws like this."
Yuhang feels miserable inside. Do you think I want to use this posture to shoot a free throw?
"Is this the original Yuhang? I saw that he used a normal shooting posture when he made free throws before. I was very unaccustomed to it." Yang Yi said with a smile as he looked at Yuhang who was shooting free throws.
"Maybe superstars have some differences, hahaha." Director Zhang Weiping has already called Yuhang a superstar. He is only an 18-year-old child.
