LeBron. James is struggling to carry his team.

At the end of the third quarter, the Heat trailed by 13 points, and Stephenson still hit LeBron's head on the final whistle shot. There is no doubt that this makes James extremely remorseful and unwilling.

Think about it, the dignified "first person in the alliance" was so blocked by a substitute supply from the other party that he couldn't find the north, this is simply ridiculous!

But if you want to calculate it carefully, Leonard, who caused constant trouble for James in the last game, seems to be a substitute

"LeBron has four fouls on his back, you know what to do. If LeBron. James is down, then this game is ours. To force him to foul, it doesn't matter if it's an offensive foul or a defensive foul. Anyway, force him to foul! ”

Henson admits that he is a coach who will stop at nothing in order to win. His only bottom line is not to deliberately hurt opposing players. Henson didn't mind the rest of the means.

Even if it's a fake fall, even if it's cheating, even if it's letting the opponent's star go off the field.

Stephenson was naturally gearing up for this, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Henson did not let Stephenson play. Henson's choice proved to be wise, as LeBron played in the fourth quarter. James, he looks very angry!

"Boom!"

As soon as the fourth quarter began, Henson's basket made a loud noise. A strong dunk, the dunk is none other than LBJ!

James came in against Leonard's defense, and this time the offense had no tactical effect at all, it was just relying on James's crushing. But Henson has also said before, give the ball to LeBron. James, it's a tactic.

Even Leonard couldn't withstand James's forcible dunk, and if this ball was defended by Stephenson, the picture would definitely be miserable.

Then, in addition to actively contributing on the defensive end, James hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside. Everyone can see that James is going to turn on "berserk mode". He couldn't stand losing his first home game, and he couldn't stand being so embarrassed by a substitute. In the blink of an eye, James helped the Heat narrow the 13-point deficit to five.

But Henson did not pause the game, and he knew very well that the narrowing of the point gap was not a problem with his own tactics, nor a problem with his personnel, but a problem with James.

His three goals are too difficult!

The first shot was almost a dunk for Leonard, and the next two three-pointers were also scored against Leonard's defense. Henson admits James's magic, but no matter how miraculous, it can't be scored like this every time!

Sure enough, after James scored 8 points in a row, the Heat's offense was dumb again. This is already the norm for the Heat today, and Henson is not worried at all.

And what he wanted to see finally happened in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter of the game.

This is Paul. A breakthrough from George, he broke through Wade with West's beautiful cover. At this time, Bosh, who originally needed to defend the basket, was pulled to the bottom right corner by Horford.

If left unchecked, George will get an empty basket. So James hurried back into the box and tried to chase George from behind.

It's just that George's athleticism is not covered, he didn't suffer in the air, and James didn't even touch the basketball in George's hand. In this way, the bodies of the two collided violently in the air. Where can George withstand the impact of this "armored car", and flew directly out of the bottom line.

It looked like it was just an ordinary foul. But this foul made every fan at the American Airlines Center raise their hearts to their throats.

This whistle means that their "king", their "emperor", will be responsible for the fifth foul of the game!

Spoelstra hesitated for a moment, but replaced James anyway. And after losing James, the Heat's offense has stagnated.

Although Wade's performance this season is also remarkable, he is not the same Wade after all. In the Pacers' meat grinder-like defense, Wade played very hard.

As for Bosh, he has become transparent again, except for the high-profile remark after the first game of the series. In such a life-or-death moment, Bosh often fails to be the key to opening the situation.

As soon as James got off the court, the momentum that the Heat had managed to build up suddenly stopped. Wade can't say that he doesn't work hard, and even Henson admires Wade's hard work. But unfortunately, this is not the same Wade of ten years ago.

Henson played his way through the final 2:38 of the fourth quarter with his usual rotation. It was only then that Spoelstra re-fielded James.

Relentless efforts at Wade and Mike. Miller's three-pointer allowed the Heat to narrow the margin to single digits before James returned.

As soon as James came on the court, Henson made a change. He replaced Jimmy, who had a good performance today and had already scored 16 points, with Stephenson in place. Butler. I believe that James will definitely be very "kind" when he sees Stephenson re-appearing!

"Calm down, LeBron, leave that idiot alone!"

Seeing Stephenson on the field, Spoelstra reminded him from the sidelines. Stephenson undoubtedly made LeBron very helpless today, and he forced James to teach him all kinds of small actions, unscrupulous trash talk and fake falls.

James nodded, and he also decided not to get entangled with this rascal. With more than two minutes left in the game, the Heat are only trailing by single digits, and there is still hope for everything!

Henson was actually still a little nervous, after all, he didn't know what kind of way Stephenson would force James to foul. That guy's brain circuit is not something normal people can keep up with, and LeBron has never been a short-tempered player. To provoke him is not easy in itself.

In the next minute of the game, Stephenson didn't make any moves, and the Heat also narrowed the gap to 6 points with James' strong return!

At this point, there were only 58 seconds left until the end of the game. At 58 seconds and 6 minutes, the fans of the Heat team were cheering. It seems, LeBron. James seems to have saved the Heat once again.

"Let's go up Leonard, Henson, it's the last minute!" Vogel was a little anxious, and in this minute, Stephenson could neither let James off the court, nor effectively contain James's counterattack.

Henson nodded, and with the last 58 seconds, he didn't want to risk any more. He doesn't blame Stephenson either, after all, Stephenson played well enough in this game.

After motioning for Leonard to go to the technical table to get ready to play, Henson turned his gaze back to the court. At this time, James was resting with his hands on his knees, waiting for Bosh to send the ball. And it was Wade who went to answer.

Stephenson sticks next to James, which is a very regular move. But then, Stephenson raised his right hand and covered James's mouth

Sure enough, another strange move!

James was furious! It's not a competition anymore, it's just a humiliation of the kid himself! He jerked straight up, then pushed Stephenson away!

Stephenson immediately spread his hands, grunted his eyes, and had an innocent expression of "you all look at what he did to me"!

Henson clenched his fists, what a! If he had been James, or a Heat player, he would have beaten Stephenson up right now! But unfortunately, that bastard player is the subordinate of his own bastard coach!

With Stephenson, people have this to say: If he was your teammate, you would support him. But if he's your opponent, you'll even want to kill him!

Before James could defend himself with the referee, he was whistled for an offensive foul in the final 58 seconds of the game. The entire American Airlines Center was not calm, and the fans booed one after another, and even greeted the Stephensons woman directly from the stands.

But the guy didn't care, he just stood there and applauded silently. Bastard, what an out-and-out bastard! But this kind of bastard, Henson likes!

At the same time as James made six fouls, Leonard took the opportunity of a dead ball to replace Stephenson and avoid a conflict. Henson is sure that if he keeps Stephenson on the court any longer, there will inevitably be a hand-to-hand fight at the American Airlines Center.

Stephenson walked off the field, and Henson looked serious. Under the close-up of the scene, Henson walked up to Stephenson and cursed.

"Hahahaha, it seems that Coach Henson also doesn't understand Lance's behavior." Mike. Brin smiled, Stephenson, this guy will really use the most unbelievable way to provoke his opponent. But Henson, I don't think he will be too supportive of doing so.

But in fact, Mike. Brin was wrong. Henson wasn't angry, he pretended to yell, but what he actually said to Stephenson: Well done, Lance.

James went off the court with just 58 seconds left and the Heat trailed by six points. Henson, on the other hand, presented a revamped "death defense" lineup composed of Paul, George, Butler and Leonard.

James was sent off at a critical moment, leaving the Heat in a mess. After that, the Heat's offense played frequently, and Wade made a direct mistake and lost the ball. At this juncture, the Heat had to foul.

Then in a crucial round, Mike. Miller's three-point shot was taken by the aggressive Jimmy. Butler interfered and threw a three-no-dip. While Butler wasn't as much of a spotlight as Stephenson today, he played his own level just as well. His defense and scoring made the Heat unwittingly passive.

And the three-no-stick that he forced Miller to throw in the last round completely killed the Heat's hope of a comeback!

In the end, the Heat lost this crucial battle by 7 points at home! After the game, Spoelstra's speech in an interview undoubtedly resonated with the fans.

"What more can I say? A bastard coach and a bastard player, ruined it all. ”

At the press conference afterward, Henson also heard from reporters what Spoelstra said about him, but he was not angry.

"If I can be a winning bastard, then I'd love to." The Chinese head didn't care about other people's eyes and smiled very happily.

2-1, the Pacers are one step closer to successfully defending their title!
