In the second quarter, the Thunder sent out a lineup of Collison, Durant, Su Bei, Harden and Billups, hoping to counterattack the game and bury the Heat in this game.
Climbing to the top is tonight!
It doesn't have to be like this to return to the home court and win the championship again.
Fighting to the end in every game is the mentality of a winner!
The Heat were ahead, had no bench advantage, and didn't have a good game with the Thunder.
It is true that they continue to be led by James and Way, but the extent of the rotation is not inferior to that of the Thunder, sending out a lineup of Haslem, Mike Miller and Norris Cole.
In terms of lineup, they are still not as good as the Thunder, but the lead and the fact that Mike Miller has bullets in his pistol tonight and can hit three-pointers give them confidence.
The second quarter started with the Thunder having the ball.
Harden showed his super 6th man strength and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Collison.
Then, after passing the ball to Collison and clearing the Heat's inside line, Harden received Collison's return pass and then used a European step to rush into the formation with the ball, causing a foul on Norris Cole who came to help defend. At the same time, he also withstood Wade's frontal defense and sent the damn basketball into the basket.
"pretty!!
In 2009, Tan Huayang showed a terrifying talent. Those unicorn arms were so powerful.
He was able to withstand Norris Cole's head-and-shoulder block, but he could also withstand the defense and send the basketball into the basket. It was really unbeatable! !
andone! !
This is a very nice 2+1, showing the Thunder’s determination to counterattack..."
Swish——!
Standing on the free throw line, with the boos from the fans in the audience, the bearded Harden showed his superstar talent and steadily made the free throw, making it a 3-pointer.
29 to 33! !
The difference between the two sides is only 4 points.
If the Heat want to easily renew their lives at home, it is impossible for the Thunder to agree easily.
The Thunder's counterattack was very tough, but it was a pity that the Heat had a surprise player who stepped up.
"James still breaks through, Su Bei can't stand it, fight and retreat!!"
James' body was so unresolved that the Thunder could only shrink and beat James.
Sure enough, James took the blame and sent the damn basketball to the left three-point corner. Mike Miller caught the ball and shot a three-point jumper..."
Durant is very mobile, but the scoring leader does not have much deterrence on the defensive end. Although the defense is very active, it is of no use and can only listen to gunshots.
Swish——!
"besides!!
Well done! !
Mike Miller stood up when the Heat were in dire straits and acted like what the Heat had hoped for when they signed him.
Three points, three points, three points! !
Tell the important things! !
The only difference between the Heat and the Finals is shooting, especially outside three-point shooting.
As long as the Heat relied on a little bit of outside three-point shooting, they wouldn't have lost the 2011 Finals.
In the 2012 finals, we won’t be forced into a desperate situation. What I said..."
29 to 36! !
The Heat regained the points they lost on Harden with the help of Mike Miller, a shooter! !
With a reliable three-point shooter on the court, the Heat's morale is as high as if they had won the game.
too difficult! !
When it comes to shooting, especially three-point shooting, neither James nor Wade can do it!
If James and Wade can shoot reliably, do they want to huddle together for warmth?
It really doesn't matter, James is still very good at fighting. It is very possible for one person to defeat the Big Three of the Green Army.
After all, the Big Three of the Green Army are back from strength, and they can be coached by Rivers, a cheating coach.
That's too far! !
The Heat's three-pointers are really hard.
However, after all, the Thunder are leading 3-1, and I have the mental advantage. They have room to make mistakes, but the Heat have no room. If they lose, they will become the second place, which is the biggest loser.
"When the Thunder attacked, it was Harden who broke through with the ball, European-stepped to the basket, and broke through to the end.
In the end, it was impossible to reach the end. The Heat shrank back, and Harden was not used to them. He went to the basket, copied what James had just done, and threw the damn basketball to the left three-point corner. Su Beikong .
Just catch the ball, jump up, and raise your hand to take a three-jump shot..."
Haslem is 2.03 meters tall. It is impossible to protect the basket. He has no choice but to let James and Wade bring their physical talents to the penalty area to protect the basket.
It's a pity that he could care about the inside but not the outside. James actively jumped out, but it was of no use. He could only bet that Su Bei would just hang around outside.
Don't go in!
Swish——!
32 to 36! !
Guessing wrongly, Su Bei refused to listen and went in anyway.
"pretty!!
Su Bei's three points are amazing.
The Thunder continued their offensive firepower and continued to chase points.
If Su Bei's three-pointers are not strong, it is very likely that the Thunder will spend tonight's game..."
Not even a possibility, but a certainty!
The question is that the Heat have used their own formula to win. The Big Three + role players have all taken outside shots.
But it just so happens that the two young men from the Thunder are cheating. If you don’t flourish in the game, whose game will flourish?
Off the court, Spoelstra had a headache.
But there is no way. The Heat cannot take advantage of all the good things.
The flaw inside was penetrated and the defense on the outside was compromised. What more could he do?
There are only so many cards in hand, and Bosh has to use them carefully.
There is no choice but to let the Heat not understand defense and let the Thunder not understand it either.
On the court, although Norris Cole was a rookie, he didn't force the ball and played very tough.
He actually controlled the ball to the frontcourt, forced a breakthrough against Billups, and then made a sudden stop and pull-up shot to test Billups' defense.
"Billups' footwork was at a disadvantage, but his defense was not lost. He has so much experience that it interfered with Cole's final shot.
Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.
Billups withstood Cole's shooting test!
Oh, Wade threw his body into the penalty area, oh my god! !
You call this Wade's knee injury?
This explosive power, this jump shot is so amazing, Wade grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and feinted when he landed, fought with his body, made a second attack to make up for it, and scored that damn basketball..."
Boom, swish—!
After Wade scored, he roared and beat his chest!
It was not easy, but he did it.
A guard who is 1.93 meters tall actually grabs rebounds like a center.
Besides center Long, who else?
James was also infected by Wade's fighting spirit and rushed over to give Wade a high-five, gritting his teeth and pressing it against his forehead.
32 to 38! !
The point difference was not 7 points, but 6 points, but the Heat could not give up the lead lightly.
Seeing Wade working so hard, the Heat's fighting power seemed to be on fire in the following defense.
That kind of momentum can be felt even by the fans and spectators on the sidelines and in front of the TV.
The kind of hand-to-hand combat where every inch of ground is contested makes people's blood boil.
"Defense!! Defense!! Defense!!!"
Coupled with the crazy shouts and cheers of the home fans, the Thunder players seemed to be mentally unable to withstand it.
“Harden broke in and jumped out.
Facing a zone defense, his European steps have no room to display.
The ball was passed to Durant, and James immediately rushed to press. The Thunder did not have a good offensive opportunity.
In the end, Durant chose to challenge himself, dribbling the ball into the three-point line, pulling up with the ball in an emergency stop, and launching a long-distance two-point pull-up jumper..."
James' block was indeed out of reach. After all, Durant made space and floated his shot.
This kind of superstar ball, no one can block it, and can only listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
“Iron is struck!!
Durant's tough offense is a bit tight! !
But when the game reaches this level, you have to rely on superstars to break the game and score points.
It's just a pity that with Durant's face-to-basket shooting style, under the intensity of confrontation in the playoffs, such a strong attack is too unfriendly..."
This is 2012, and this is not the model of the future where defensive players fight and retreat.
The defense at this time, facing a shooting player, is to defend forward.
The offensive players have to avoid the defensive players, but the defensive players avoid the offensive players. They will only face the basket to break through and shoot, and the scoring efficiency is really not high.
The offense and defense transitioned, and Durant attacked and hit the iron.
The Heat attacked, but Norris Cole didn't waste any more time and handed the ball to Wade.
Challenge Harden with the ball.
"Look at Wade's attack?
I couldn't find out the depth of Harden's prowess by holding the ball.
Wade immediately changed his position, turned around and hit Harden with his back, stepped inside step by step, shook his shoulders, turned around, pulled the ball up, and raised his hand to shoot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Harden predicted Wade's shot. After all, he grew up watching Jordan and Kobe Bryant play, so he would not understand the classic technique of back-up fadeaway jumper.
It's just a pity that despite the prediction, Harden couldn't block Wade's fadeaway jumper. We can only bet that Wade's shot is still the same boy, without any change.
Swish——!
"OMG!!
Wade hit a fadeaway jumper and scored.
Jordan who is 5cm shorter is also called Jordan! !
Once practiced in post-ups, it is also a killing technique..."
Facing a post-up, the defensive player presses forward, but his butt will be pushed away.
Even after the butt arch and the shoulder-swinging turn with the body behind the back, it is difficult for you to guess whether the offensive player is pulling the ball back or turning to face the basket to attack.
If you guess wrong, it is a feint facing the basket. It is very likely that the more active the defense is and the further forward the defense is, the easier it will be to get fouled or be swayed away from the attack.
Even if you guess correctly, it is just a dream to fly back and block other people's shots.
The gap between face-to-basket attack and post-up singles suddenly appears.
The gap between Durant and Wade makes the point difference between the Thunder and Heat become 8 points.
The score is 32 to 40! !
Durant was unable to attack, and Su Bei was prevented from catching the basketball, so Harden had no choice but to play on his own.
Continuously stepping down and dribbling, dribbling the ball through, going in, and jumping out again.
“After going in and out, Harden shot, and he shot a step-back three-point pull-up jumper...
Facing such a coquettish offensive method, Wade can't block shots at all, so he can only bet that Harden will just wait outside..."
Bang-dang——!
Harden's opportunity to attack with the ball came out, but the three-pointer was too crazy, and the offense was also missed.
And this is just the beginning. Facing the Heat's high-spirited defense, the Thunder are too young and can't stand it. Their offense is too simple and they rely too much on the star's touch.
…
"Su Bei received the basketball and was immediately pressed closely by Battier who was replaced.
A back-up hit and the Heat's double attack came in an instant.
Su Bei distributed the ball to the weak side, and the Heat players on the field could not run away. With their mobility, they blocked Harden's breakthrough.
The basketball was handed over to Durant, but he still broke through, couldn't break in, and continued to try to solve the problem with jump shots..."
Bang-dang——!
Durant's mid-range shot still missed and missed.
…
Although in the subsequent offensive round, Durant broke through James and passed the ball to Billups who cut in and scored two points.
However, Durant's shots always failed to knock off the basket.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
No way, Durant relies too much on his death mode to attack tough situations. Facing a tough defense, he can only pull up, pull up, pull up, and use shooting to kill his opponent.
Is it wrong to hit anyone?
We've reached the finals stage, where are there so many mismatches for you to fight?
You can only face the opponent's strongest defense!
Seeing that Durant couldn't stand up.
Scott Brooks could only replace Westbrook.
“Next, look at Westbrook’s performance.
OMG!
He started causing trouble as soon as he came up, and actually used a zombie pull-up three-point jumper to test the Heat's defense..."
Who can fail to withstand such a test?
Westbrook shot and entered the "three irons in four games" mode.
Sure enough, there must be a young phoenix beside Wolong.
When Durant couldn't stand up and became Wolong, the replacement Westbrook was also an old 6...
How could there not be a young phoenix beside Wolong?
This is a simple truth!
Westbrook came on and made 1 of 4 shots, plus Durant's 1 of 8.
Su Bei made 2 of 3 and 2 of 2 three-pointers, but it still couldn't help this old 6th team.
Finally, Harden showed his talent and scored with a wave of 6 consecutive free throws, which prevented the Thunder's score from becoming so ugly.
In the second quarter of the game, the Heat continued to be full of firepower. James made 3 of 5, Bosh 2 of 2, Wade 2 of 3, and 2 of 2 free throws. All the Big Three came into play, and Mike Miller made 2 of 4 three-pointers. , Chalmers made 1 of 1 three-pointers... In the continued attack situation where all the people were involved, the Thunder beat the Thunder 30 to 23.
At the end of the first half, the Heat went into the locker room to rest, 63-49, with a 14-point lead.
