When the Trail Blazers attacked, Maurice Cheeks did not call a timeout and chose to trust his players.

Facing James Posey's defense, Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break out from close range and fly for a layup...the ball went out of the frame and missed!

O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound and passed to White Chocolate. The Heat's counterattack formation was already in motion. Kwame Brown made a prompt decision and directly hugged O'Neal.

The referee's whistle blew and O'Neal got two free throws!

Heat players excitedly rushed up to give O'Neal high-fives.

To protect the frame at critical moments, it’s right to leave it to O’Neal!

As for free throws... O'Neal's free throws at critical moments are not bad.

Under the referee's urging, O'Neal stepped to the free throw line.

He was dilly-dallying, but he was actually preparing for a free throw. When the silver coin parallel import number one player committed a tactical foul, he struck very hard. When he hugged him from behind, he slapped his right wrist.

O'Neal received the ball from the referee, patted the ball, and then adjusted it again. Being so shameless and patient at critical moments was one of the reasons why he made accurate free throws at critical moments.

At this time, Liu Xiu, who was on the right side of the three-second zone near the free throw line, said: "Kwame, you have to be my little brother, you know?

Look at the Shark on the opposite side. If the Shark is willing to be the younger brother like he is now after the OK Dynasty, he will already have 5 championships and will establish another dynasty..."

O'Neal, who was shooting the ball, immediately looked at Liu Xiu and didn't catch the bounced ball. He hurriedly picked up the ball that bounced and then fell to the floor and held it steady.

Kwame Brown responded: "Okay boss, I won't be so ignorant."

Although O'Neal was angry at Liu Xiu's words, he could still bear it. Kwame Brown's silly answer was like the finishing touch, which really messed up O'Neal's mentality.

O'Neal took the first free throw, and he actively adjusted the second free throw. The adjustment time was so long that people mistakenly thought he was a Greek player. Maurice Cheeks yelled "violation" from the sidelines, but he still missed the free throw.

Two penalties and a full iron!

However, O'Neal had been aiming for this shot for a long time, and he shot it right! But he couldn't control his strength, and the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced back towards O'Neal.

O'Neal rushed forward to grab the ball. Facing Kwame Brown who was blocking him, O'Neal stepped forward and pulled the lever to avoid Kwame Brown's throw... "Pa"... Liu Xiu slapped O'Neal and threw it away.

The ball flies!

The ball was slapped to the other side of the three-second zone by Liu Xiu. Players from the two teams scrambled for control. No one controlled the ball and the ball was knocked out of bounds.

At such a tense moment, the scene on the court made many fans laugh out loud.

Among the players grabbing the ball, the Blazers pointed to the opposite side and the Heat pointed to the baseline.

O'Neal, who was blocked, and James Posey, who was grabbing the board, raised their hands to make a circle.

Kwame Brown, who risked his life to withstand O'Neal's impact and created a blocking opportunity for Liu Xiu, stood up and roared passionately, spitting, Liu Xiu quickly dodged, and was pushed up to a 90 rating by the "little bully's knee pads"

The top-level bullet speed is vividly displayed.

The referee was a professional. He couldn't hold back his laughter and went directly to the technical desk to watch the replay.

First of all, to eliminate interference balls, O'Neal's throw just now was thrown upwards. As soon as it left O'Neal's hand and started to rise, it was slapped by Liu Xiu.

The footage of the ball grabbing was very clear. The ball was finally touched by Wade who rushed in to grab the ball.

The Trail Blazers have the ball, Maurice Cheeks calls a timeout!

…

At 11 minutes and 06 seconds, 106 to 105, the Heat led the Trail Blazers by 1 point.

Maurice Cheeks replaced the mini outside trio of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, and Ray Allen, and Randolph and McDyess were replaced on the inside.

The Heat replaced the combination of White Chocolate, Wade, James Posey, Anthony Walker, and Haslem.

When players from both teams came on the court after the timeout, the Heat's lineup rotation during the key defensive phase was unanimously praised by TV commentators.

The game continued, and the Trail Blazers chose to serve from the midline.

This time the Trail Blazers no longer focus on creating shooting opportunities for Ray Allen as their first goal, but instead focus on Liu Xiu.

The Heat players were not surprised at all. Their defensive adjustments focused on guarding against Liu Xiu.

'Long time in jail' is a new basketball term that has gained some popularity. It's hard to say among the fan community, but it is already quite famous among NBA players. When it comes to 'Long time in jail', players will think of it.

Duncan, and sympathized with him. In last year's Western Conference Finals, the Spurs were really not inferior to the Trail Blazers. However, as long as the Spurs' lead was not in doubt at the last moment of the game, they would be overturned by Liu Xiu's key ball in the end.

.

After Kobe Bryant had another stress reaction in this year's opening game, each team paid more attention to Liu Xiu's key goals.

However, even if the Heat made targeted defensive adjustments, Liu Xiu moved flexibly like a loach, coupled with his amazing speed, Randolph, who was dealing from the top of the arc, still successfully sent the ball around to the right sideline.

In the hands of Liu Xiu.

Wade paid special attention to Liu Xiu. When he chased the defensive target to the free throw line, he saw Liu Xiu's movement around the baseline and immediately rushed towards Liu Xiu, making up for Liu Xiu as soon as he received the ball.

But Wade, who had made up for it, secretly shouted that it was not good. He saw the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised and the action of taking the ball behind his back.

Wade wanted to stop and turn around to chase back, but he rushed towards Liu Xiu with all his strength and was exhausted. When he stopped, Liu Xiu had already passed the ball from behind.

Ray Allen caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, turned around and shot a three-pointer...

Hit!

At 11 minutes and 24 seconds, relying on Ray Allen's key three-pointer, the Trail Blazers led the Heat by two points, 108-106!

The Heat called a timeout!

…

The TV commentators were all saying it was crazy that the Heat were able to leave Ray Allen open when defending a key ball.

The fans in front of the TV were equally surprised, but look at the other two players on the outside of the Trail Blazers, Little Flying Squirrel + Warden...

Ray Allen feels great now. In the last minute of the game, with a 1-point difference, he was able to catch the ball and shoot in the open!

Has he ever fought such a rich battle?

After entering the timeout, Leng Danru couldn't help but go to Liu Xiu for a hug.

Maurice Cheeks made a lineup adjustment and had to play defense. Ray Allen, Flying Squirrel, and Randolph were all replaced.

He was replaced just after he made a crucial three-pointer, and Ray Allen didn't have any dissatisfaction.

In terms of defense tonight, he really didn't do a good job. Whether he was guarding White Chocolate, Arroyo or Wade, he was held back.

If you need to defend now, leave it to the defensive experts.

The Trail Blazers sent out a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaw, Kwame Brown, and McDyess.

The Heat sent a combination of Arroyo, Wade, Jason Kapono, Anthony Walker, and O'Neal.

After a timeout, the Heat serve from the frontcourt.

There are still 36 seconds left in the game, which is plenty. Wade carefully protects the ball in the face of the lawless maniac's defense, which wastes time.

With 22 seconds left in the game and 10 seconds left in the Heat's attack time, Wade lobbed the ball to O'Neal in the low post. O'Neal, who already had 31 points and 6 assists, was the Heat's best player tonight and the most trustworthy.

The one.

Although he just used trash talk to get O'Neal to make two free throws, even Liu Xiu did not dare to continue to foul O'Neal at the critical moment.

The score difference was only two points, and being tied was not an acceptable option. O'Neal went solo, and the Trail Blazers chose to shrink their defense.

The Heat's offense started. O'Neal passed the ball to Anthony Walker who was pulling to the free throw line. Anthony Walker supported him from the high post and passed the ball to Wade who cut in. Wade passed the ball again...

That mountaintop in Puerto Rico arced the ball!

Liu Xiu made up the defense in time. Arroyo faced the defense without fear and shot a three-pointer...hit!

109 to 108, the Heat overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point!

The Trail Blazers bench was wailing, and Ray Allen stood up, ready to take on the heavy responsibility again.

But when he walked to the coach's side, he didn't see any movement from the coach.

The coach looked at Ray Allen and said, "We don't have any timeouts."

Ray Allen: "..."

He looked at the technical table, and sure enough, in tonight's game that required constant adjustments, the last timeout was their last timeout.

However, the wailing was wailing. Ray Allen found that his teammates on the bench were not desperate. The coaching staff was helpless but still confident. He remembered the same situation in the opening game...

On the court, Liu Xiu did not call a timeout. He had already noticed that there was no timeout. Calling a timeout at this time would result in a technical foul.

However, Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced, even if the score was overtaken, even if there was no timeout to adjust tactics and lineup, his teammates did not panic and kept up with Liu Xiu's rapid advancement. After reaching the frontcourt, Payton directed his teammates

Fall into position.

If you are only behind by 1 point, you can take the lead no matter if you score two points or three points.

There were only 14 seconds of attack time left. When Liu Xiu advanced to the top arc and encountered Wade's defense, there were only 7 seconds of attack time left.

Facing Wade's active and rough defense, Liu Xiu protected the ball and calmly paid attention to the positions of other people on the court and the remaining time.

Not calling a timeout is also beneficial.

With the defense of Arroyo and Kapono, these two people simply did not dare to expand to the high post to attack. McDyess and Anthony Walker did not dare to let go on the baseline. O'Neal did not dare to leave the basket. Kwame Brown now

He was still very energetic, which made O'Neal lament that high school students are all physical freaks.
