After this round, the Heat's perimeter was completely opened.
The Thunder's offense failed to score, and Westbrook's emergency stop failed in the mid-range.
In the Heat's positional attack, Ray Allen ran out of the open space and received a through pass from James and scored another three-pointer.
The Thunder's defense was also torn open by the Heat.
The Thunder's offense was in trouble. Westbrook made a mistake. His intention to pass to Zhao Chen was too obvious. James stole it! !
After James rushed to the frontcourt at high speed, he returned to Ray Allen who followed up.
Ray Allen made an emergency stop and made a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle! ! !
9 to 9! !
"pause!!!"
The Heat hit three consecutive three-pointers to stop the Thunder.
Brooks was dissatisfied with Westbrook's handling of the ball and immediately started to complain.
A missed mid-range shot and a passing error directly wiped out the early advantage.
The momentum at Chesapeake Energy Arena was also slightly suppressed.
Fans can also feel that tonight's game did not go as smoothly as expected.
The domestic commentator's expression became serious.
Pause back.
Brooks readjusted his tactics and asked Zhao Chen to organize the offense.
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
Thunder fans and fans at the scene once again unified their momentum!
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball forward, and the Heat team did not dare to be careless at all.
Although they worked hard to tie the score, they did not catch up because of their defense against Zhao Chen.
They still haven't found a way to deal with Zhao Chen from beginning to end.
Zhao Chen is still the Heat's biggest headache.
Wade puffed his cheeks and went over.
After all, his anger was still there, and Wade was not easily defeated. Wade applauded Zhao Chen hard and said, "I'm serious with you."
Weren't you serious before? Zhao Chen didn't believe it.
Zhao Chen retorted disdainfully: "You are quite good at comforting yourself."
Zhao Chen will not respect veterans on the court.
Zhao Chen's disdain made Wade even more angry.
Wade continued to use intensity to defend against Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen turned his back to Wade, occasionally scanning the Heat's defense with his eyes.
The Heat stood up in a zone defense.
Zone defense is absolutely afraid of baseline cuts and three-pointers.
Zhao Chen first gave the ball to Durant at the free throw line.
Durant is also not easy to attack, so Durant gives the ball to Westbrook.
Westbrook immediately gave it to Zhao Chen on the right.
The three-point opportunity did not come out. The Heat moved quickly and they kept up with the Thunder's ball transfer.
The Heat's zone defense is different from that of other teams. Their forwards and point guard are more talented, and they move very quickly.
Zhao Chen no longer passed the ball, but signaled his teammates to open up the space. He was going to force it.
"The Heat's defense is good and has improved compared to the previous two games."
"The Thunder are in a short-term dilemma. Let's see how Zhao Chen handles the ball."
"The Heat's foundation and strength are still there. It's impossible for the Thunder to win easily."
"Come on Zhao Chen! Let's go it alone!"
There was no need for a pick-and-roll, and Zhao Chen started dribbling continuously.
Zhao Chen made a lot of breakthroughs in this game, and Wade didn't dare to be careless.
Wade's defense worked very hard, but it was still not good enough.
Continuously change directions, take a step forward, and pull back urgently!
Super step back again!
Continuously retreat significantly!
Zhao Chen's shot missed Wade's rhythm.
The basketball flew over Wade's head and drew a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
An arrow to the heart! !
9 to 12.
Zhao Chen helped Thunder stabilize the situation.
Heat attack!
This time it was James. Facing Zhao Chen, James also dropped back for a three-pointer after dribbling continuously.
James's step back is not as beautiful, but the effect is the same.
"Uh-huh!"
12 to 12.
The Heat's outside firepower was full in this game, and even James could make a shot.
Zhao Chen defended the ball well, but there was no way to prevent James from scoring.
Go all out! !
James didn't celebrate in any way, his eyes were very calm!
Thunder offense.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Zhao Chen did not waste time and directly changed direction and passed Wade.
Wade was too guarded against Zhao Chen's shooting and was easily passed.
The Heat's defense line has not yet been arranged at this time, and the attack in the middle is not in place.
Bosh didn't have a jump reaction. He could only stand in the three-second zone with his hands raised.
Zhao Chen ignored Bosh, kicked off the ground and took a step forward! !
Bosh never expected Zhao Chen's explosive power to be so powerful. He could only feel a black shadow approaching.
"boom!"
"frame!"
Zhao Chen completed a chop through Bosh! !
Dunk Bosh!
12 to 14.
Zhao Chen's scoring explosion is still endless. Even if he doesn't have a hot touch, his scoring ability is still top-notch.
He caught the Heat's fleeting mistakes in returning to defense.
Bosh was knocked over by Zhao Chen, but the referee did not whistle the penalty. That was the resistance zone.
Bosh fell to the ground and his head was a little dizzy...
What just happened?
who I am? What am I doing?
The team doctor rushed forward to see if Bosh had a concussion.
"How much is this?" the team doctor stretched out two fingers toward Bosh.
"Two!" Bosh didn't have a concussion, he just didn't react.
Zhao Chen yelled at the camera after landing from the dunk!
The momentum at the scene was wave after wave.
"Beautifully buttoned!"
"Just do it!"
"Fuck him violently!"
The fans at the scene kept looking up to watch the replay on the big screen.
Zhao Chen's dunks are becoming more and more powerful than Westbrook's.
Westbrook rushed over and bumped chests with Zhao Chen to celebrate, and the substitutes on the sidelines also continued to act.
The commentators and domestic fans also shouted excitedly.
Zhao Chen himself was not surprised that he could complete such a dunk. His physical talent has reached such a level.
As long as the rhythm is good enough, he can complete such a goal.
After this wave of attacks, the score between the two sides became anxious.
James also used his full strength to confront the Thunder.
Zhao Chen did not concentrate the ball in his own hands, but used Durant's firepower to keep Durant firing.
The two sides fell into a tug of war.
After the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 33-33!
Zhao Chen took a break at the end of the first quarter. He scored 16 points and 4 assists in 10 minutes of play in the first quarter.
Durant scored 10 points and Westbrook scored 4 points.
The Thunder's Big Three scored 30 of the 33 points, and the Thunder's style was brought to its extreme.
In the second quarter, Brooks sent Zhao Chen to lead the second team. The Heat was led by James. Spoelstra did not dare to let Wade lead. Wade continued to be beaten by Zhao Chen.
The Heat attack, Robertson defends James.
Robertson's defense was very strong, which made James frown.
James couldn't understand how the Thunder could have so many defensive players, and even an unknown player could be so tough.
James's consecutive breakthroughs were blocked by Robertson.
After experiencing the playoffs, Robertson's defense is also constantly improving.
Robertson's physical talent, awareness, and attitude are all built for defense!
James can only give the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner.
There was no time, Ray Allen's three-pointer was interfered by Zhao Chen, his shot was blocked, and the rebound was protected by Adams.
"The defensive ability of the Thunder's second team is not inferior to their starting lineup at all. This is one of the Thunder's confidence." Zhang Weiping said.
