Chapter 734: A Problem Through the Ages

The Heat suffered a big loss in rebounding in the third quarter, and the Nets used their height advantage to re-move the basketball thrown by their teammates off the court one after another, and in the battle for the second drop point, the Heat players also lost a lot. George, Matthews and Nash are all higher than their counterparts.

But that's not the crux of the matter, James and Wade don't have a significant height disadvantage, and they're stronger and not inferior in the race for the second spot. The crux of the matter is that the offensive team is positioned farther out, and the Nets' two interior baskets are closer to them.

No matter what level of basketball game, if the rebounding ball can't be kept, the game can't be played, and the Heat is hit in the soft underbelly all of a sudden.

At 2 minutes and 50 seconds in the third quarter, after Wade made a steal, James launched a fast attack, and when he was about to get to the basket, the little emperor turned around and passed Matthews and ended the offense with a one-handed dunk.

Matthews was knocked to the ground, which tragically became the background for James' dunk, but the Nets still led 68-60.

James' dunk this time is the 10th score of the Heat in this quarter, and the quarter is almost over, and the Heat's scoring has just broken through single digits.

The loss of rebounding in the second half directly led to the low morale of the Heat players, including the Big Three, the team became more and more lifeless and lifeless under the backdrop of the home fans.

Spoelstra is now the most active of the Heat's team, with the Filipino coach jumping up and down on the sidelines, waving and shouting at his players in an attempt to arouse their fighting spirit.

It's not easy for this puppet coach, the players don't respect him, the staff look down on him in their hearts, and the fans even throw the pot to him and replace it with ordinary people, this pressure has long crushed people. How can he be so active now, and still have the energy to bounce on the sidelines to direct the team, in a vain attempt to turn defeat into victory.

In the third quarter, Ji Guoqiu's feeling on the offensive end slowly returned, and in the face of Bosh's defense, he first turned around and pretended to break through to the basket. Bosh hurriedly moved sideways to block it, but Ji Guoqiu pulled it out, jumped and drifted to shoot, his body was completely stretched, and he threw the basketball in a beautiful posture in the crowd under the heat basket, and the hollow "swish" entered the net!

Bosh had no choice about this ball, just had time to raise his hand, Ji Guoqiu had already shot, and he could only watch the basketball fall into the basket.

"Cool!" Ji Guoqiu scored this goal. Immediately knew that the feeling was back.

He also knew that this ball would definitely enter the top ten balls of this round, and it was rare for a 7-foot-tall interior player to make such a move, and it was even rare for him to do it so elegantly, requiring extreme explosiveness, waist and abdominal strength and flexibility, all three of which are indispensable.

Bosh couldn't do that. His explosiveness and flexibility may be enough, but his waist strength and technique are not enough to support him in such a shot. This is the difference between a real giant and a pseudo-giant.

Ji Guoqiu's scoring performance only began in the last two minutes of the third quarter, when the Pandas first used a top 10 ball to make Bosh a background board, and then singled out James in the center of the circle at the top of the circle. scored another goal on the board, and used the real giant as a background board.

The Continental Airlines Center is boiling again, the cheers of the Nets fans are rising higher and higher, and with such a superstar on their own team, what could be happier than that?

There may only be a moment to win the championship. The fans will be happier than they are now, right?

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 76-66, and the Nets entered the final quarter with a ten-point advantage, and they outscored the Heat by 14 points in the third quarter.

Ji Guoqiu scored 6 points in the last two minutes of the quarter, got 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, and his personal data became 20 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 blocks.

Jeff. Before the start of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy focused on the frontcourt rebounds of the Nets in this quarter: "Brother Panda grabbed a total of 8 frontcourt rebounds today, and the last time someone in the Heat grabbed 8 frontcourt rebounds was back on June 14, 2006, when the Heat hosted the Mavericks in the finals, Haslem grabbed 8 frontcourt rebounds. ”

Mark. "Brother Panda's frontcourt rebounding record was 10 in the regular season and eight in the playoffs, and he's now equaling his own record," Jackson said. ”

TNT is also streaming the game live, and Charles. Barkley saw the camera showing the big three sitting on the sidelines, their faces were cold, and suddenly asked, "Kenny, you said that after the three of them are eliminated, if they fight, who will win?" ”

Kenny. Smith coughed when he heard this, and said in his heart that the game has not yet been decided, and you will be eliminated by others, and you are really not afraid of going out and being beaten!

However, he answered the question anyway, Kenny. Smith laughed: "James is strong, Wade is fast, Bosh is a little soft. So, my estimate is this: Wade ran and James beat Bosh. ”

After the two finished speaking, the one who laughed was called a cheap!

Just as countless Heat fans pulled out their guns and prepared to take out TNT's two brain-dead streamers tomorrow, the fourth quarter began, and the two teams came to rotation time again.

Nets fielded: Bledsoe, Matthews, Korver, Humphries, Ben. Wallace.

The Heat could only be replaced: Mike. Bibby, James. Jones, Mike. Miller, Howard, Big Z.

If a lineup like the Miami doesn't get out of rotation time, even if this group of bench players plays well.

Bledsoe was suppressed by the Zen master for a whole passion, released at this fateful moment, the old Bibi was completely powerless in the face of the blood cloth, he did have too much experience, but when the physical gap was too large, no amount of experience was useless.

Big Z is the only Heat player in this lineup who has an advantage in the position, and although he is 36 years old, Big Z's hard work is still not lost to the youngsters.

At 11 minutes and 20 seconds in the fourth quarter, Da Z grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a layup.

At 10 minutes and 33 seconds in the fourth quarter, he grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a basket in the big Z crowd, and his 4 points were life-saving 4 points for the Heat.

But the good times were short-lived, as Bledsoe's two blitzkriegs wiped out Big Z's efforts in an instant, and Matthews then broke through the slow-moving Jones and made a layup to make it two and one. Another bucket of cold water was poured on the hot head.

At 9 minutes and 30 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Heat could only replace James in advance, and the score had come to 83:70, and the Heat trailed the Nets by 13 points.

In addition to the Heat replacing James this time, Wade is also back in the game, and Miami's two outside supergiants are ready to make a last-ditch fight.

At 7:10 in the fourth quarter. James broke through and caused Ji Guoqiu to foul for the fourth time, hitting two free throws and two hits, and the Heat tied the score at 75:85.

The Nets didn't give them a chance to close the score further, and Korver, who had missed consecutive shots, finally scored a three-pointer, and the Nets once again stretched the margin to 13 points.

Wade and James then scored one after another, and in the last 4 minutes and 40 seconds, after Wade missed the shot, James jumped up directly and made up for it in the air. It also caused Vallejo to foul for the fifth time and scored three points with free throws.

The Heat's two true giants are in their final struggles, with Wade beating Tony. Allen made two fouls, hit two free throws, and then made a mid-range shot, leading the Heat to a wave of 7-0 and narrowing the gap to 8 points at 86:94 in one fell swoop.

The Nets are also a little overwhelmed in the face of the two giants who are on fire. The Zen master was forced to call two timeouts in a minute. At the critical moment, Ji Guoqiu stood up again. After attracting the bag with his back in the low post, he forced a turn to shoot, hit the basketball hook under the bag between Bosh and James, and also caused a foul on the little emperor.

Ji Guoqiu roared angrily in the sky after scoring a goal, and James was silent on the side.

He should have been able to cover Ji Guoqiu just now, but the giant panda's arms were too long. In the end, it was still a little worse, if my arm span could be a little longer......

For the first time, James felt that his arms were short, because compared to Kobe Bryant and Griffin, James's arm span really can't be considered short, but now it seems. It's still a bit short!

At 2:20 in the fourth quarter, Nash hit his seventh three-pointer of the game to score his 28th point.

Lao Qu's performance today was also remarkable, he hit several key goals, and today's performance is definitely a "giant".

The three-pointer scored by the Nets completely crushed the momentum of the Heat's chasing points, and the score came to 102-91, and the Nets once again widened the difference to double digits.

It wasn't until a minute later that the Heat hit a three-pointer from Wade and James hit a three-pointer from the outside, but there wasn't enough time for them to come back and win.

In the last 40 seconds of the game, Ji Guoqiu hit Bosh again and caused a foul and got two free throws.

Bosh took off his black braces, and he didn't make it to the end, graduating with his second honor in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

With a score of 106:96, the Zen master replaced the team's five best defensive players, and the game was completely out of suspense.

Ji Guoqiu hit both free throws, the Heat players gave up resistance, the score did not change again, and the Nets successfully took a 2-0 lead at home, a perfect start to the series.

At the end of the game, the two teams exchanged jerseys, and the Heat players quickly fled the court.

Ji Guoqiu got 28 points, 23 rebounds, 11 assists and 6 blocks today, once again becoming the best in the game.

Panda interviews generally don't generate much topic, and this guy is so watertight that it's hard for him to fall into a trap.

The most interesting scene of the game occurred in the post-match press conference, when a Chinese reporter asked Bosh: "If James and Wade fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?" ”

The foreign reporters in the crowd laughed, but the reporters from China couldn't cry or laugh, they didn't expect that someone would really ask such a question, which was too slap in the face.

Bosh immediately felt the power of China's eternal problem, thought about it for a long time, and said tremblingly: "I will save Wade, because James will hug Wade's thighs tightly!" ”

The Chinese reporter applauded him with a smile on his face, Bosh is a stupid boy, he probably doesn't know what "hugging his thighs" means, and he has to write about it. (To be continued......)
