call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
88 to 109.
In the end, the Miami Heat defeated the Brooklyn Nets by 21 points.
This is the first game between the two sides. Although the subsequent games have not yet been played, the situation of this game has already made the fans see the problem.
The Brooklyn Nets' starting lineup is said to have four All-Star players, but they are too old, and the ball rights problem within the team is also quite acute. This is not a very united team.
More importantly, the team's head coach is Jason Kidd, who changed careers just one year after retiring.
He is a very good player and experienced, but now he is a rookie coach and needs more games to hone his skills.
Not long after the first game ended, the second game came immediately.
This time it’s still at the AmericanAirlines Arena, home of the Heat.
Similar to the previous game, Zhao Feiyang failed to get a chance to play when he came on the bench normally, and head coach Erik Spoelstra still put him on the bench.
He is also the only player on the team whose playing time has been significantly reduced.
Even the team's veteran Ray Allen still maintains an average of 26 minutes of playing time per game.
However, this did not affect the team's victory or defeat. The Miami Heat once again easily defeated the Brooklyn Nets at home.
The two sides scored 92 to 84.
The 12-point difference made the outcome of the game almost no suspense.
After the game, the fans cheered and the players were also excited. They walked to the locker room and had fun. Only Zhao Feiyang was unhappy and turned his attention to head coach Erik Spoelstra. He quickly Step forward to catch up with the opponent.
"Coach Eric, can I talk to you?"
Seeing Zhao Feiyang coming, coach Eric Spoelstra also put his arm around his shoulders, looking serious.
"Zhao, I know what you want to say! In fact, you are more calm than me! You thought you would come to me after the first game!"
Erik Spoelstra's eyes were full of praise, "You are a very good player and the person the team needs most at this stage... However, the team must reserve some 'energy' Of course, LeBron and the others need to rest, but they are the absolute core of the team. If they want to defeat a strong team, they must work hard enough..."
"But you are different, you are a rookie. The playoffs are very intense. You need to be prepared for possible injuries. You also need to learn more about how these seniors handle the game..."
"Be prepared! There will be times when you are needed. You are the team's secret weapon..."
Head coach Erik Spoelstra was deceived for a while.
Although Zhao Feiyang doesn't really believe in such rhetoric, after all, the decision lies with the head coach. Whether he can play depends on the other party's wishes. It is not a good idea to fall out with head coach Eric.
After the first two games, the third game of the semi-finals also arrived smoothly.
This time the Heat traveled to Brooklyn, New York to challenge the Nets.
Barclays Center Arena.
This is the new stadium of the Nets. It was moved here in 2012 and cost as much as US$904 million. It can accommodate tens of thousands of fans.

Deron Williams is also not bad, his annual salary is as high as 18.47 million U.S. dollars, and Paul Pierce also reaches 15.33 million U.S. dollars.
From an annual salary perspective, the Nets' giants combined are much better than the Heat's Big Three!
Perhaps it was the encouragement brought by returning to the home court, but the Nets finally did not get pulled away from the start of this game. The Big Four continued to rely on tactical cooperation to score points, and their touch was pretty good, so they did not allow the Heat to open up the gap at the end of the first half.
After the second half, the Big Three entered a rest state, and the Heat's second lineup appeared.
Zhao Feiyang still failed to appear, and Ray Allen led the second team to play. Unfortunately, his speed was much slower than when he was young, and his efficiency on the court was not as good as before.
Without Zhao Feiyang to share the pressure with him, the Nets directly sent players to mark him. As a result, Ray Allen's three-point shooting performance was not as good as before.
The situation on the field fell into a downturn.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra was a little confused. He turned back and glanced at Zhao Feiyang, who looked at him.
However, the next moment, Erik Spoelstra still did not replace Zhao Feiyang.
When the game came to the fourth quarter, the Heat had been pulled away by the Nets. Although the point difference was not big, the Nets led the Heat for the first time, which undoubtedly gave the arrogant Heat a wake-up call.

Unfortunately, his performance was not what head coach Erik Spoelstra wanted to see.
In the last quarter, the Big Three once again led the main lineup. Although Zhao Feiyang helped the team narrow the gap with two three-pointers, he was still excluded from the list.
The Nets got better and better as they played, especially Joe Johnson who performed exceptionally well at the last minute. He not only threw a long three-pointer, but also broke into the penalty area and scored a two-plus shot under the defense of Chris Bosh. one.
