562. The Heat's X factor (seeking double the monthly pass)
O'Neal went to the free throw line and missed the first free throw.
The fortune teller was sitting on the bench, looking as calm as ever, but the little gestures of rubbing his palms together betrayed his true emotions.
When he saw the Trail Blazers' lineup in the third quarter, he felt a little bit of pain in his balls.
After the game started, my balls really started to hurt.
He really regrets, why did he start a wave of iron-blooded tactics? He didn't win the championship, and he himself was knocked over by iron-blooded tactics several times, shooting himself in the foot.
Now I have encountered the iron-blooded warfare method again! And it is also a deluxe version, the iron-blooded warfare method + shark slashing!
It seems that the Trail Blazers are not going to implement the shark-cutting tactic, but based on the iron-blooded tactics, if O'Neal wants to score, they will try their best to deal with O'Neal with fouls.
The fortune teller saw through the Trail Blazers' halftime adjustment in one round, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it!
When he came up with the Iron-Blooded Fighting Technique ten years ago, he never expected that other people would learn this trick in just a few seconds, and each of them would be even more skillful than him!
On the court, O'Neal hit his second free throw, and the Heat took the lead 60 to 59, but only by 1 point.
Soon, the scene that the fortune teller didn't want to see really happened. At 4 minutes and 06 seconds into the third quarter, he called a timeout. During this period, the Trail Blazers only scored 9 points, while the Heat counted O'Neal.
That free throw scored 6 points!
The Trail Blazers first engaged in confrontation, then actively contracted, blocking fast breaks, suppressing the rhythm, and speeding up when advancing, but not for fast breaks, but simply alternating speed, switching offense and defense, and there was no chance.
Persisting in positional battles and slowly grinding away... the Heat players were getting irritated!
The fortune teller had no choice but to call a timeout and chose to follow the cards.
He originally expected the referee's whistle to be tighter, but the referee did not. He could only follow the cards before the opponent completely took the initiative, otherwise he would suffer more and more losses.
I have to say, the fortune teller is so lucky!
After he called, the Heat still fell into decline, and the initiative was gradually taken by the Trail Blazers. Liu Xiu successfully fed Varaijo and Kwame Brown, who came on the rotation, but the point difference widened to 7 points.
At that moment, White Chocolate stood up and made two consecutive three-pointers from the wing, beating the Trail Blazers 6-2 on his own!
Relying on White Chocolate's excellent outside shooting performance, the Heat stopped their decline and went 5-4 in the remaining time.
After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Heat by two points, 81-79.
…
In the third quarter, he had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. Liu Xiu played 9 minutes in the third quarter and scored 3 points and 4 assists. His performance was very good.
However, the score was 16 to 9 in the first 9 minutes, but the score was 11 to 6 in the last 3 minutes. Liu Xiu felt a little bit of regret, and the most important thing was that he sensed a little bit of danger.
After entering the break, Liu Xiu went to the coaching staff for a chat. The coaching staff attached great importance to Liu Xiu's feelings. It was the players who were playing. This kind of thing can only be felt by the players. The Heat's 11-game wave originally
6 In the opinion of the Trail Blazers coach, it was just White Chocolate who broke into two open three-pointers, and now he is starting to think more...
The inter-section break ended soon, and the referee informed the players of both teams to take the field.
The Heat sent out a combination of Arroyo, Wade, James Posey, Anthony Walker, and Haslem; the Trail Blazers sent out Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, and Varejao.
combination.
Liu Xiu glanced at Wade when he came on the field. He played 28 minutes in the first three quarters, and he will definitely play the full final quarter. Even if his physical strength is not particularly good, he can still play 40+ minutes occasionally, and he played 28 minutes in the first three quarters.
O'Neal, who played 26 minutes, will probably have to rest for two or three minutes before playing.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked first and found Randolph who was stuck with Haslem in the low post. Randolph forced Haslem to squeeze into the basket and put the layup and scored two points, 83 to 79.
The team leads by 4 points.
In the transition between offense and defense, Arroyo went to the frontcourt and started a pick-and-roll attack with Haslem.
The pick-and-roll offense was not very good, just to disrupt the Trail Blazers' defensive attention. Arroyo broke out to the mid-range and passed the ball back to the top arc. Anthony Walker received the ball and singled out Randolph from the outside.
He took one step and shot a three-pointer...hit!
82 to 83, the Heat narrowed the point difference to 1 point.
Liu Xiu thought what he was afraid of would come true, the magician really started with a three-pointer or a high-post single.
Anthony Walker is the Heat's X factor that Liu Xiu thought of during the break. This snake oil has the ability to raise the upper limit of the Heat's strength.
The fortune teller indeed pinned his hopes of breaking the game on Anthony Walker!
Anthony Walker did not disappoint the magician. After scoring a three-pointer, he fed Haslem another piece of cake. He received a pass from Wade and scored a free throw line jumper. He passed it to Arroyo on the wing and scored one.
Three-pointers, after 6 rounds after the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat made 4 of 6 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers. In the first 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, they beat the Trail Blazers 10-7!
89 to 88, the Heat overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point!
Because of Liu Xiu's reminder to take a break, the Trail Blazers coaching staff was already on alert, but with Anthony Walker's nerve... they felt their opponents' uncontrollable urge to curse when they encountered the angry little flying squirrel.
There is no way to prepare for something like this!
It's impossible to take an intersession break just to prevent the opponent from getting mad and ignore a quasi-super giant like Wade, right?
Fortunately, with preparation, at least I won't panic when the score is overtaken.
Just like now, the fortune teller has stood up after hitting a three-pointer from a mountain in Puerto Rico to lead the score, but the Trail Blazers did not call a timeout and continued to play!
Payton moved to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Liu Xiu. This time it was Wade who was guarding Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu attacked Wade with the ball. Naturally, he had to choose singles. Wade was too concerned about Liu Xiu's breakthrough, so the defense retreated this time.
The defense was slightly faster than before. He wanted to guard Liu Xiu alone and strengthen the overall defense... Liu Xiu keenly judged the opportunity and made an emergency stop in the middle distance.
Wade quickly pounced back, but Liu Xiu's "quick shot" was triggered, and the adaptive shooting speed increased by 10%. Wade pounced back and failed to form a successful confrontation. Liu Xiu made a half-step emergency stop jumper inside the free throw line!
90 to 89, the Trail Blazers regained a 1-point lead.
If the opponent doesn't call a timeout, the fortune teller himself can't call a timeout! At this point in the game, the energy is very important. If the Trail Blazers miss the goal and the Heat protect the defensive rebounds, the fortune teller will call a timeout.
, there is a big difference between calling a timeout when leading and calling a timeout when lagging behind.
But the fortune teller immediately regretted it. When the Heat attacked, Wade ran back and cut to catch the ball and hit the basket. Varaijo's throw was blocked by Liu Xiufei who shrank in from the bottom corner and was blocked!
Although the ball was touched by Liu Xiu, the Heat just used Anthony Walker's high-post threat to create an opportunity for Wade to cut into the frame and consume 7788 seconds of the 24-second attack time. The ball did not touch the frame.
Liu Xiu was right to touch the ball out of bounds, but there were only 5 seconds left for the Heat to attack!
The Heat continued to attack, and within 5 seconds, Anthony Walker received the ball and was blocked by the outlaws.
Seeing that he was being defended by an outlaw, Anthony Walker's smart IQ took over the high ground, and he immediately looked for Wade and passed the ball over.
In his opinion, if the opponent's outlaw maniac, who has the best single defense on the perimeter, guards him, Wade will naturally have a better chance.
As a result, Wade was busy fighting hand-to-hand with Liu Xiu, and Anthony Walker passed the ball out of bounds and made a mistake!
Pat-Lee calls a timeout!
…
The tactical board was almost broken by the magic operator. He regretted it so much. If he had known that Liu Xiu had made a pull-up jumper, he would have called a timeout. Even if he had called a timeout with 5 seconds left, he could have called a timeout. If it didn't work, he should have changed it when the ball was dead.
People...but after all, he is a coach with 4 championships, and the fortune teller still calmly carried out lineup rotation and tactical adjustments.
The duo of Wade and O'Neal is back on stage, paired with white chocolate, James Posey, and Anthony Walker, the strongest firepower is coming!
For the Trail Blazers, the combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaw, Raheem, and Kwame Brown came on the field.
For the Trail Blazers coaching staff, the benefit of 'fair play' is here. Raheem played better tonight when O'Neal was on the court. So I guessed that O'Neal was about to play, so Maurice Cheeks decisively replaced him.
Raheem.
The timeout ended and the game continued. The Trail Blazers chose to serve from the backcourt.
Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and met Wade's defense. The two looked at each other and knew clearly that tonight's decisive moment had arrived!
Liu Xiu did not initiate an attack, but passed the ball out at the top of the arc. He received a system prompt that 'Talent: Sharpshooter' was triggered.
Rahim received the ball from the high post on the right side of the free throw line and started to attack facing Anthony Walker's defense.
Liu Xiu moved without the ball, and Raheem launched an attack from a high position. The target around him was still Ray Allen, and he firmly launched an attack around the strongest point.
This opportunity really came to Ray Allen. Ray Allen caught the ball from the sideline, turned around and shot a three-pointer...hit! 93 to 89, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 4 points!
The Trail Blazers focus on team offense, while the Heat are completely opposite. O'Neal, Wade, and Anthony Walker have started taking turns in singles offense!
Team offense VS individual ball distribution, the two teams played back and forth.
This time the Trail Blazers team played better offensively than in the first quarter, the lineup was more in line with actual needs, and they adapted better to the opponent's defense. There was no more embarrassing situation of only scoring 6 points in 4 minutes.
However, the Heat, with Shaquille O'Neal, gradually took over the initiative. The Trail Blazers tried their best to resist and wanted to maintain the weak lead until the end. However, when the game reached 10 minutes and 44 seconds, the Heat relied on Wade's two
He scored two points on free throws and led the Trail Blazers by 1 point 106-105. In the 7 minutes after O'Neal came on the court, the Heat had a 17-12 advantage!
…
Chapter completed!
