Chapter 297 One step away
With the whistle of Joe Crawford, the referee on duty for this game, the second half of the game officially began!
Promise takes the ball from DeMar DeRozan and begins dribbling forward.Mario Chalmers, the Miami Heat's starting point guard, hunched over and stared wide-eyed at Promise.Indiana Pacers leading scorer Danny Granger used center Roy Hibbert's block screen to break away from the defense and come to the three-point line to receive the ball.Although Shane Battier moved quickly to Danny Granger when Danny Granger received the ball, Danny Granger still made a long three-pointer from the outside!
"Danny Granger hit an outside three-pointer at the beginning of the second half. It seems that his shooting touch is quite hot!" said the live commentator in the American Airlines Center arena.
"Little Emperor" LeBron James didn't let Mario Chalmers, who is a point guard, get the ball at all, and pushed the ball into the frontcourt by himself. "Sixteen points away!" LeBron James thought to himself.
Danny Granger moved up to guard LeBron James after promising to guard Mario Chalmers, and David West got entangled with Shane Battier instead. "Little Emperor" LeBron James faced Danny Granger, only dribbled the ball for one step, and then made a direct shot from outside the three-point line.The ball first hit the front of the basket, then hit the backboard, and then flew out.
"Damn, just a little bit!" LeBron James cursed under his breath.
David West gently pushed Shane Battier away and held the defensive rebound firmly in his arms. "Counterattack!" Xu Nuo yelled loudly, starting to rush forward.
However, when David West passed the ball, he was quickly intercepted by "The Flash" Dwyane Wade, and then Dwyane Wade assisted LeBron James to score a dunk, barely narrowing the point difference.
"But the point difference is still as much as [-] points. If we only rely on sneak attacks after steals to score, how long will it take for the Miami Heat to catch up with the score..." said the on-site commentator.
Although the Miami Heat quickly scored two points through the cooperation between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, the ball was still in the hands of the Indiana Pacers.Promised to break through the ball, center Roy Hibbert received a pass from Promise and scored a layup against Miami Heat center Udonis Haslem's defense, and the point difference returned to [-] points.
"If the two teams fight for a long time like this, then the Indiana Pacers will have more advantages. After all, the Indiana Pacers are younger than the Miami Heat, and they have more physical strength and impact." The on-site commentator said so.
As the on-site commentator said, after several rounds of offense and defense, the home team, the Miami Heat, not only failed to narrow the point difference, but was led by as much as [-] points by the Indiana Pacers, forcing the Miami Heat coach Eric Coach Spoelstra had to call a timeout. "It seems that it is entirely possible for us to extend our lead to more than [-] points." Danny Granger said with a smile.
Xu Nuo, who was walking beside Danny Granger, nodded slowly when he heard Danny Granger's words.
"Guys, now we have to give it a go!" During the timeout, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said to his disciples, "If we lose this If there is a game, then we will say goodbye to this season. Because of this, even though we are nearly [-] points behind our opponents, we should not give up this game! Our game is not over, we still have to continue to fight go down!"
Although coach Erik Spoelstra is only a "puppet coach" in the minds of many Miami Heat players, the encouragement of coach Erik Spoelstra is still meaningful. Certain effect.After the game restarted, "Little Emperor" LeBron James broke through and dunked a pass, leading the Miami Heat to chase five points in a row.
"It seems that the Miami Heat can only rely on LeBron James to play alone..." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
However, just as Xu Nuo thought about it, "The Flash" Dwyane Wade hit a mid-range jumper, narrowing the point difference again.Originally, the Indiana Pacers had a lead of nearly [-] points, but now they are only [-] points ahead of the Miami Heat.
Xu Nuo glanced at Coach Larry Brown sitting on the edge of the court, and saw that Coach Larry Brown didn't intend to call a timeout. "Okay." Xu Nuo said to himself in his heart, "Then let us solve the problem ourselves!"
After Xu Nuo dribbled to the frontcourt, he handed the ball directly to inside center Roy Hibbert.Roy Hibbert held the ball with his back to Udonis Haslem. After dribbling the ball, he quickly turned around and made a hook shot. The ball went into the net with a "swipe" sound!
"Roy Hibbert's shot helped the Indiana Pacers stabilize the situation and allowed the Indiana Pacers to continue to maintain a double-digit lead!" said the on-site commentator, "Even if the Miami Heat have No matter how hard you try, you still can't reduce the difference to less than ten!"
"It seems that we should hit the ball inside!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
In the next attack, "Little Emperor" LeBron James used his own breakthrough to kill the Indiana Pacers inside, causing a defensive foul by David West.LeBron James made only one of two free throws at the free throw line, and the Miami Heat continued to trail the Indiana Pacers by [-] points.
"It seems that LeBron James is really tired. For most of the game, whether it is offense, defense or passing, it is completely done by LeBron James alone. Physical strength is a big drain." Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, looked at LeBron James on the court and thought in his heart.
On the court, he promised to hand over the ball to power forward David West, who was raised to a high position to support him, while he himself started cruising back and forth outside the three-point line, interfering with the Miami Heat's defense.Danny Granger ran around inside the penalty area before barely breaking away from Shane Battier to receive the ball from David West.Immediately afterwards, Danny Granger also used a breakthrough to kill the inside line of the Miami Heat, causing another defensive foul by Udonis Haslem.Udonis Haslem froze, staring blankly at referee Joe Crawford.
"Has Udonis already fouled four times?" Coach Erik Spoelstra turned his head and asked the assistant coach beside him.After getting an affirmative answer, coach Erik Spoels replaced Udonis Haslem with backup center Joel Anthony.And Danny Granger went to the free throw line and made two free throws, and the Indiana Pacers led the Miami Heat by as much as 64 points 50:[-].
"The point difference is still maintained at more than [-] points, and there is not much time left in the game. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Miami Heat to catch up with the score." The on-site commentator said.
On the offensive end, Shane Battier missed a long three-pointer from outside after receiving a pass from LeBron James. The Indiana Pacers immediately launched a quick counterattack after getting the ball.Committed to assisting DeMar DeRozan for a dunk on the fast break, the Indiana Pacers continued to extend their lead, forcing Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to call for another timeout.
After coach Erik Spoelstra called for a timeout, the Indiana Pacers' bench cheered as if they had won the NBA championship. "Calm down, guys!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly, "The game is not over yet, this is not the time for us to celebrate!"
These two words from Coach Larry Brown made the substitute players calm down. Coach Larry Brown picked up the tactical board and began to emphasize some problems that the players had during the game one by one.As for how to solve these problems, Coach Larry Brown hopes that the players will find the answers themselves.
During this timeout, coach Larry Brown began to rotate players. OJ Mayo and Tyler Hansbrough appeared at the same time, replacing DeMar DeRozan and center Roy Hibbert respectively.When I promised to see OJ Mayo going to play, I thought that Coach Larry Brown was going to replace himself, but Coach Larry Brown didn't do this.Promise steps onto the field, ready to start defending.
Not only did the Miami Heat's offense not improve after this timeout, but it became less efficient.Although the two superstars "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "The Flash" Dwyane Wade have been struggling to maintain, the Miami Heat still trailed the Indiana Pacers 58:72 at the end of the third quarter The team scored fourteen points.When the referee Joe Crawford blew the whistle to end the third quarter, "Little Emperor" LeBron James lowered his head and returned to the Miami Heat bench without saying a word.
"If the Miami Heat continue to play like this without any improvement, then the next quarter will be the last quarter of the season for the Miami Heat!" said the game commentator in the American Airlines Center Arena .
