"The Heat took the lead in two away games, and then were beaten by the Thunder in three consecutive games. This also shows to a certain extent that there is a certain strength gap between the two teams." Zhang Weiping said.
"The Heat have regressed a lot compared to the previous two years, while the Thunder have been making progress. The Heat will become very dangerous tonight!" Xu Jicheng said.
"Zhao Chen's comeback is a turning point in the finals. Let's look forward to Zhao Chen's performance tonight and see if the Thunder can reach the top." Zhang Weiping said.
On the field, the game begins.
Zhao Chen used the fiery touch (advanced)!
Zhao Chen started the game very confidently with two long three-pointers just off the half-court line.
But it's a pity that both goals missed the frame by a slight margin.
The fans and Heat players were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
I'm about to go in.
Zhao Chen shook his head. A hot touch doesn't guarantee a goal, and neither does playing too hard.
After continuous long-range shooting failed to develop, Zhao Chen could not continue his offense for the time being. He gave the offensive ball to Durant and Westbrook.
Durant and Westbrook were very excited about this game.
They are just one win away from the championship, which makes them all full of fighting spirit.
The two were also in good shape, and the Heat, who were well prepared, were suppressed by the firepower of Dewey.
After playing for two minutes, Spoelstra called a timeout. After the timeout came back, James did not panic. Instead, he continuously attacked the Thunder inside, causing fouls or scoring the ball, which once again erased the advantage created by Durant and Westbrook. .
The game came to 6 minutes and 11 seconds, and Zhao Chen stood up again.
Durant's low post shot, Zhao Chen used Ibaka's off-ball screen to run to the free throw line. Wade's defense failed to keep up. Zhao Chen received Durant's pass and quickly shot from mid-range and hit the ball.
15 to 13.
Seeing Zhao Chen get such a good opening again, Spoelstra on the sidelines was very anxious.
Giving Zhao Chen an opening means scoring.
Spoelstra shouted at Wade and Chalmers: "Pinch him, don't give him a chance to take action, expand the defense, let them attack the inside, guys, get moving, don't be discouraged!"
Although Westbrook and Durant are in good condition, Spoelstra still firmly believes that Zhao Chen is the most difficult point to restrict.
I would rather let those two people open it than let Zhao Chen open it.
Zhao Chen can really kill the Heat directly if he goes crazy.
Chalmers' pass was knocked out of the court by Westbrook. Spoelstra immediately made a substitution, and Ray Allen came on to replace Chalmers.
The Heat's strength lies in their James and Wade, but both James and Wade have shortcomings, that is, they can't shoot well, so they must find pitchers who can open up the space for them.
Otherwise, if the two of them cannot suppress their opponents, then this game will become very difficult.
Brooks also made personnel adjustments, asking Adams to come down and replace him with Robertson.
The Heat played a small lineup as a whole, and the Thunder also used a small lineup to deal with it.
The Heat continued to attack.
James organized and through rotation, James found the mismatch between Bosh and Zhao Chen.
"This is a mismatch. It is difficult for Zhao Chen to guard Chris Bosh."
"Yes, there is a big difference in height and weight between the two."
Neither McBrin nor Van Gundy are optimistic that Zhao Chen can defend this round.
Bosh did not play the ball again, but immediately chose to play from behind.
Zhao Chen is not afraid. Bosh is not a tough insider. On the contrary, he is a bit soft.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Bosh really couldn't use his strength to eat Zhao Chen alive.
He hit Zhao Chen from behind continuously but couldn't hit him.
Bosh was very miserable. He felt like he was beating James on his back.
Bosh chose to increase his intensity and sink his shoulders.
"boom!"
Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground!
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee gave Bosh an offensive foul without hesitation!
The fans at the scene were also sighing. Bosh really couldn't beat Zhao Chen alone...
"Damn it, Zhao Chen's core strength is too awesome."
"Bosh can't push Zhao Chen. If he does, it will be an offensive foul."
"Zhao Chen's power fully reflects Bosh's softness."
"Actually, it can be seen in many details. Zhao Chen's core strength is really not bad."
"If Zhao Chen hadn't stopped, Bosh might not have been able to defeat Zhao Chen."
"Hitting Zhao Chen out of position inside is definitely a wrong decision!"
Although they are used to Zhao Chen's excellence, the fans are still a little shocked by this scene.
On the court, Bosh shook his head regretfully.
Zhao Chen's defensive ability is really a bit difficult to deal with.
Thunder side kick.
Westbrook carried the ball across half court.
Zhao Chen asked Westbrook for the ball on the right side of the corner.
Westbrook passed the ball, and as soon as Zhao Chen got the ball, he was flanked by James and Wade.
Durant was followed by Ray Allen, and Zhao Chen passed the ball to Robertson who was cutting through the air.
Robertson was completely left open and made an empty basket.
17 to 13.
Although Zhao Chen has a great touch, Zhao Chen still endures and gives the ball to a more suitable teammate.
Heat attack again.
After a series of tip-overs, Bosh still got a mismatch opportunity with Zhao Chen.
It's just that James didn't give it to Bosh this time, because he couldn't trust Bosh.
James made a sudden pass to Ray Allen.
Westbrook didn't give Ray Allen space and kept staring at him.
Wade cut inside to find a gap inside the Thunder, and Ibaka was pulled out to defend Lewis.
Ray Allen gave the ball to Wade, who relied on Durant's layup to succeed.
17 to 15.
Finally, it wasn't Zhao Chen who came to guard him, and Wade breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Wade would rather play Durant than Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen talks too much trash.
Every time, whether it's offense or defense, he will buzz in your ears, which makes Wade very irritated.
"It's not that Zhao Chen was guarding Wade, Sao Wei said he was very comfortable."
"Wade took a happy walk."
"Sao Wei felt relieved."
"To be honest, Zhao Chen's strongest thing in your impression is his step-back three-pointer, but I think his defense is the strongest."
Fans are also a little happy with Wade.
The Thunder's offense comes again.
Wade became happy and went to defend Westbrook, causing some trouble for Westbrook.
Zhao Chen went over to connect with Westbrook and passed the ball smoothly through half court.
As soon as Zhao Chen arrived in the frontcourt and settled the battle, James and Ray Allen's flanking attack came again.
Zhao Chen saw Durant on one side.
Durant continued to eat Lewis, and after a big change of direction, he rushed in and made an emergency stop in the middle distance!
"Uh-huh!"
19 to 15.
Zhao Chen's assists came in waves.
The Heat paid the price again for their constant flanking on Zhao Chen.
Heat offense.
James used Bosh's pick-and-roll to break in hard.
This time Ibaka was very tough. He blocked James' impact and James' layup missed.
Zhao Chen jumped in to protect the rebound.
Zhao Chen passed the half and continued to be attacked.
Zhao Chen did not play the ball immediately, but dribbled to avoid the attack.
Seeing his teammates all running, Zhao Chen threw the ball towards the basket.
This was not a shot, Zhao Chen sent Ibaka a difficult alley-oop.
Ibaka was like a roc spreading its wings and smashed the ball into the basket through Bosh!
"frame!"
21 to 15.
Led by Zhao Chen, all members of the Thunder scored and the offensive was overwhelming! !
