In the first round, James assisted Ray Allen for a three-pointer!
64 to 53.
Ray Allen's three-pointer was crisp and crucial.
The cheers and shouts of the fans at Miami's AmericanAirlines Arena immediately started.
They cheered for the Heat crazily, which made the commentators on the scene a little deafened.
Ray Allen's three-pointer made fans at AmericanAirlines Arena feel that the Heat might start a counterattack.
But soon, Zhao Chen disillusioned them.
Zhao Chen brought the ball to Durant.
Durant holds the ball high.
Zhao Chen made crazy moves, and Robertson and Ibaka continued to set Zhao Chen off-the-ball pick-and-rolls.
Durant made a hand-to-hand pass to Zhao Chen and then followed the trend with a screen.
Zhao Chen caught the ball and made a domineering three-pointer immediately!
Catch and shoot, standard shooter posture.
Perfect arc!
"Uh-huh!"
67 to 53.
Zhao Chen immediately responded to Ray Allen's three-pointer.
"I'll guard Ray Allen later, KD, you go deal with LeBron, don't worry, we have a lead, it's them who should be anxious now!"
“Don’t lose sight of our goals and we’re going to make them pay tonight.”
Zhao Chen chatted endlessly with Durant on the way back.
Durant wiped his sweat and nodded.
Heat offense.
James brought the ball over and continued to play for Ray Allen.
Ray Allen is close to retiring, but his three-point shooting ability is still among the best in the league, and no one dares to let it go.
Zhao Chen has been sticking close to Ray Allen. Even if there is an off-ball screen, he will try his best to get around it.
Bosh was so eager to provide an off-ball screen for Ray Allen that he knocked down Zhao Chen who was chasing Ray Allen during the screen.
"boom!"
Zhao Chen fell to the ground!
"Beep!!!"
Bald referee Crawford did not hesitate to call Bosh for a screen foul and gave the ball to the Thunder.
Durant and Robertson pulled Zhao Chen up.
"Are you okay?"
"Well, it's okay!"
As long as Zhao Chen falls down once, everyone in the Thunder will be worried that Zhao Chen will be injured.
Sometimes, Brooks would tell Zhao Chen not to work so hard, but Zhao Chen always didn't listen to the advice.
Thunder offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled forward under pressure.
Wade is guarding Zhao Chen. Wade doesn't want to give Zhao Chen any space. As long as Zhao Chen has space, Zhao Chen may pull up and shoot. This is the lesson the Heat learned in the first half.
Wade was very close, and Zhao Chen first passed the ball to Durant on the right side of the free throw line.
Durant stuck James, and after a series of tentative steps, he chose a jumper.
James still put a lot of pressure on Durant. Durant's jump shot failed, but the offensive rebound was obtained by Ibaka.
Ibaka threw the ball to Zhao Chen outside the three-point line on the right.
As soon as Zhao Chen got the ball, the entire Heat team became nervous, and the entire Heat defensive front moved closer to Zhao Chen.
It can be seen that during the halftime break, Spoelstra made many targeted arrangements for Zhao Chen's defense.
Zhao Chen released the ball and dribbled slowly to find the rhythm.
Wade still uses a tight defense. This kind of defense can prevent shots to a certain extent, but it cannot prevent Zhao Chen's breakthrough.
After Zhao Chen changed his hands and changed direction, he passed Wade.
"Don't substitute, I'll do it!" Wade shouted to his teammates, and then chased after Zhao Chen.
Wade does not want Zhao Chen to destroy the Heat's defensive front.
Bosh and James did not help defend Zhao Chen, but followed their respective defenders.
If it was Wade in his prime, Zhao Chen's rash layup might have been missed, but Wade is no longer in his prime.
Seeing that there was no help in defense, Zhao Chen didn't hesitate at all, stepped forward to collect the ball, kicked off the ground, and slammed the ball into the basket before Wade's pursuit came!
"frame!"
69 to 53.
The score difference widened further.
After the dunk landed, Zhao Chen took a deep breath, and then shouted at Wade, who had just arrived: "Dwayne, you are too slow!"
Upon hearing this, Wade's face darkened on the spot.
The mighty Flash, but one day he was said to be too slow!
"Wade was easily passed by Zhao Chen. His speed can't catch up with Zhao Chen. Let's see how Wade will respond to Zhao Chen in the next round."
Wade was beaten by Zhao Chen today. On both offense and defense, Wade was suppressed by Zhao Chen in all aspects. Wade's score has not yet reached double figures.
"Pinch LeBron and let Dwayne attack." Zhao Chen laid out the defense for the entire Thunder team.
Zhao Chen's words were meant for Wade, and he made it clear that he despised Wade.
Wade was also tough, holding the ball and pushing the entire court without giving it to James.
Maybe he doesn't have the strength he had before, but he still has the arrogance he had before.
Zhao Chen waited for Wade to stick with him as soon as he passed halftime.
Wade's absolute speed was no longer sure to throw Zhao Chen away.
"Without cover, your breakthrough is poor and there is no change at all." Zhao Chen spat trash talk at Wade.
Wade was very uncomfortable being guarded by Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen was taller and heavier than him, and his flexibility was not weaker than him.
After Wade turned around continuously and failed to get rid of Zhao Chen, he finally chose to pass the ball to James in transition.
"What's wrong, you don't dare to fight?" Zhao Chen kept trash-talking Wade.
Wade ignored Zhao Chen, gestured to James and then ran without the ball.
However, Zhao Chen doesn't know James at all and has been chasing Wade.
Battier's decline in condition was also obvious, and James was flanked.
Bosh went to cover James. Although James broke in, he was still strangled by the three Thunder players.
James had no chance. He reluctantly gave the ball to Wade who cut inside.
There are too many people inside, and Wade's choice is to make an emergency stop in the mid-range.
But Wade didn't get rid of Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen had studied Wade's offensive methods and was very familiar with his moves.
At the same time as Wade jumped up, Zhao Chen also jumped up.
Zhao Chen stretched out his long arm, and Wade adjusted the arc of his shot as high as possible, but still!
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen blocked the ball without mercy.
By the time Battier picked up the ball, the attack time was already 24 seconds.
"It's still too slow!" Zhao Chen shouted to Wade after landing.
"Rookie, what did you say!" Wade rushed towards Zhao Chen.
"Say you're slow."
"Can you say that again!"
....
The two of them were almost face to face!
There were boos at the scene, and Heat fans were dissatisfied with Zhao Chen for provoking their team spirit.
Wade and Zhao Chen each received a technical foul.
Ibaka and Durant pulled Zhao Chen away. They were deeply afraid that Zhao Chen's mood would be affected.
"Hey, buddy, let go, I'm fine." Zhao Chen patted Ibaka and Durant.
Zhao Chen's trash talking skills worked.
Wade's mentality is out of balance!
The Thunder served from the sideline.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball forward.
Zhao Chen signaled to pull away, and Wade also signaled to his teammates not to come up.
Zhao Chen beat one against the other.
Continuously change direction and dribble, then step back.
Zhao Chen forced a shot in the middle, missed Wade's defensive rhythm, and completed a three-point shot!
Zhao Chen made the shot successfully, and Wade went back to look at the basket in despair.
He turned around and saw Zhao Chen's retreating three-pointer accurately hitting the frame! !
72 to 53.
The score difference is getting bigger and bigger!
