After returning from the timeout, the Heat still could not solve the rebounding problem.
Sun Yi, David Lee and Chandler were so good at grabbing the ball that they directly destroyed the Heat's rebounds.
The Heat have tried to have most players retreat into the penalty area to protect rebounds, but the effect is still not good.
Not to mention, in addition to the blown rebounds, there were also loopholes in the perimeter defense.
After replacing Klay from the Warriors, the threat from beyond the three-point line has greatly increased.
Seeing that the Warriors are about to open up the outside, the Heat can't ignore it and can only make the players exhausted, taking care of both the inside and outside.
But this approach treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, and defeat is only a matter of time.
In the VIP room, Pat Riley frowned as he looked at the situation on the court, then took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his disciple Spoelstra.
On the Heat bench, coach Spoelstra read the text message, and after a brief hesitation, his eyes became firmer.
Although this goes against the spirit of sports, since ancient times, history will only remember the winner.
In the 2007 Western Conference Finals, the Spurs defeated Nash, the core of the Suns, before struggling to advance to the finals and eventually win the championship.
He believes that as long as Sun Yi is solved, the Heat can win the championship.
After Coach Spoelstra thought about it, he called Chalmers to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Coach, I understand. I promise to complete the task."
Chalmers felt no psychological pressure at all and nodded without hesitation, accepting the beheading task.
Players like him do the dirty work for the team.
"Mario, just go ahead and do it. History will only remember the winner, and the team will not forget your contribution."
Coach Spoelstra was worried that Chalmers wouldn't be able to make a move at the critical moment and wrote him a blank check.
Sure enough, Chalmers rushed to the waiting area to get ready to play as if he had been given a shot of blood after hearing this.
Not long after, there was a dead ball on the court, and the Heat replaced Chalmers.
In the next few rounds, Chalmers failed to find a suitable opportunity and could only lurk around Sun Yi, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
When the first quarter was about to end, Chalmers finally got his chance.
The Heat's offense failed. Chandler grabbed the rebound, found Sun Yi and passed the ball.
Sun Yi, who was on the fast break, received the pass and accelerated towards the Heat half court.
Qian Moss's eyes lit up as he retreated. Knowing that his opportunity had come, he quickly rushed in the direction of Sun Yi.
When Sun Yi rushed to the Heat's penalty area, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow on the left rushing toward him...
"Fuck! Those guys across the street are playing dirty tricks!"
Sun Yi was furious, the Heat's shameless behavior angered him.
Seeing that I can't avoid it, I can only fight head-on!
Bang!
Sun Yi and Chalmers collided and fell to the floor.
"Beep~!" The referee immediately stopped the game to avoid further escalation of the situation, and then signaled the medical team to come on.
On the Warriors bench, coach Nelson looked at Sun Yi who fell to the ground in a panic, feeling extremely worried.
He never expected that Riley would be so unscrupulous and blatantly useless in the first scene.
"How dare he! How dare he!"
Nelson couldn't restrain his anger and quickly came to the sidelines to argue with the referee, hoping to severely punish the Heat for this shameless behavior.
On the other side, on the Heat bench, coach Spoelstra clasped his hands and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Sun Yi is injured, what will the Warriors do to fight us?"
Coach Spoelstra was in a very good mood. He ignored the cries of criticism from the fans behind the bench and pretended to care about Chalmers who fell to the ground.
On the court, Sun Yi, who was lying on the floor, showed a painful expression. He knew that his shoulder was injured.
"Hot horse! Labor took note!"
Sun Yi planted the seeds of hatred in his heart, and then spent a certain amount of training points to instantly cure his injuries.
Chalmers had no plug-in, and still fell to the ground in pain, wailing from time to time.
Create the illusion that he is the victim.
Initially, Chalmers thought he could not be injured. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to hit the person.
But he didn't expect that Sun Yi's body would be so strong that he actually injured himself.
Although he was also injured, he completed the beheading operation.
Exchange the limit for one without losing money!
Chalmers' Ah Q-like self-comfort made him feel better.
At the same time, the team doctor finally came to the two injured people and briefly checked them with instruments.
Sun Yi didn't find anything wrong, but Chalmers suffered a broken shoulder and basically said goodbye to the season.
After Sun Yi returned to the bench, the Warriors coaching staff and players gathered around to understand the situation.
When they learned about Sun Yi's injury, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Coach Nelson was still a little worried and asked Sun Yi to follow the team doctor back to the locker room for further examination.
Seeing that he could not convince the stubborn old man, Sun Yi had no choice but to follow the team doctor towards the player tunnel.
In the TNT TV studio, Kenny Smith saw this scene and expressed his opinion.
"It seems that Sun's injury is a bit serious. Without Sun, this will definitely be a fatal blow to the Warriors."
"If the Heat win the championship with such despicable means, I will not admit that they do not deserve to win the O'Brien Cup." Barkley criticized the Heat's crimes with sharp words.
On the other side, in the player tunnel, Sun Yi stopped and felt that the time was almost up. He turned to the team doctor and told his request.
"Mr. John, I am very aware of my physical condition. I feel that I am very healthy. Let me fight alongside my teammates. They need me!"
After hearing this, team doctor John didn't want to agree to Sun Yi's request, but when he saw the Warriors being suppressed by the Heat on the TV screen, he immediately made up his mind.
"Sun, I promise you, but you also have to promise me that if you feel unwell, you must not show off. You must leave immediately."
"Mr. John, thank you, I will not make fun of my body." After Sun Yi finished speaking, he quickly ran out of the tunnel.
When the fans at the scene saw Sun Yi running out of the tunnel, they immediately stood up and clapped their hands wildly.
"He's back! He's really back!" Buckley shouted excitedly.
In the NBA commissioner's office, David Stern breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Sun Yi returning.
He almost had a heart attack when he saw Sun Yi walking back to the tunnel.
"The Heat should be damned!"
Stern finally managed to establish a good image of the league to the outside world, but it was almost destroyed by Riley.
He is not opposed to teams increasing their defensive intensity in order to win the championship.
But his original intention was not to let people with ulterior motives do anything to win.
Stern hates flagrant fouls and intentional fouls extremely much.
"The rules established by the alliance are not perfect enough, allowing some bullies to take advantage of loopholes."
Stern decided to formulate new penalty rules after the end of this season to severely punish players who commit flagrant fouls and intentional fouls.
Back on the court, this side of the Warriors bench.
"Coach, I'm ready to play." Sun Yi said loudly.
Old Nelson smiled and said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Now that you are ready, let's play!"
After getting a positive reply from Nelson, Sun Yi said hello to his teammates and then walked towards the waiting area on the sidelines.
"Heat, your nightmare is back!"
