As soon as the players from both sides appeared in the arena, there was an overwhelming wave of applause at the Ford Center, and the applause like a tsunami hit Jack and them like waves... The scene was very spectacular, seeing the fans so supportive , The Hornets have no reason to lose.

Although the Heat have already locked the playoffs in advance.However, they haven't planned to let the Hornets go just like that. They still use their absolute starters to play this game.

The starting lineup sent by the Heat is: Point guard: Williams Shooting guard: Wade Small forward: Walker Power forward: Haslem Center: O'Neal

Hornets starting lineup: Center: Hilton Power forward: Jack Small forward: Russell Butler Shooting guard: JR Smith Point guard: Chris Paul

Originally, Wharton was the guest commentator for this game, but because of the importance of this game.Moreover, it is also for your bet on Charles Barkley, so you can see Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary booth of this game.

"Dude, I hope you remember your bet. My ass has been cleaned and I've been waiting for you for a long time." Kenny Smith laughed loudly.

"Man, it seems that this time I can't even lick your ass!"

Before the game even started, they started chattering.

After the players from both sides have finished their positions, the middle circle jumps the ball!
Hilton is facing the league Shaquille O'Neal, who is Shaquille O'Neal?Once the first brother in the league, even now, he has lived up to the courage of the three consecutive championships with Kobe.However, his remaining prestige is still there.Facing Hilton, who was younger than himself, the Sharks successfully jumped the ball very easily.

The Sharks pulled the ball very hard to Wade, and as soon as Wade got the ball, he turned on his horsepower, fast-breaked to the Hornets' basket, and scored with a low-handed layup.

The Hornets were also not to be outdone. Jack succeeded in playing Haslem with a post-up single, and scored the ball with a low fadeaway shot!
Both teams played very smoothly at the beginning of the offense, and the scores on the court continued to increase alternately, but the Heat always maintained a weak lead.

The Sharks, who had been silent for almost half a quarter, wanted the ball in the low post and singled out Hilton.Although the shark's pace is not as explosive and flexible as before, it is more than enough to beat Hilton and the company.A small hook at the basket, the Sharks scored the ball

After the Shark hit, Paul immediately returned a three-pointer. Not only that, the Hornets also took advantage of the Heat's failure to score.Jack took the rebound, and Paul then assisted jr Smith to score the ball!

黄蜂队打出了一波6－0的小高潮！12比18分，第一节过半，黄蜂队领先了6分。黄蜂具有一个不错的开局。

However, this kind of start did not last long, and the Hornets were bitten back by the Heat.

Paul made a cross pass error and the ball was intercepted by Wade's glove Payton. The Heat had a fast break opportunity for Wade.Wade's one-stop service, a one-handed dunk under the basket blew the horn of the Heat's counterattack.

Hilton made a low layup and was taken off by the sharks, and the sharks haven't fouled yet.It was the Heat's defensive counterattack again. Jason Williams passed the ball without looking at the person, and the ball was handed over to Shaquille O'Neal under the basket.

"Boom..." Shark yelled, bent his knees and squatted down, held the ball in his abdomen with both hands, followed the inertia brought by the jump, held the ball high, and with the momentum of thunder, there was a "boom", and the basket was trembling non-stop , the basket is constantly moaning...

Even if Hornets fans don't want to admit it, even though the Sharks are old, they are still very tough!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Heat played a 14-4 spurt, directly overtaking the score and leading by 4 points.

The game ended in the first quarter, 22 to 26.Jack's game in the first quarter was quite satisfactory, scoring 3 points on 2 of 4 shots, and also had 3 rebounds.

As soon as the Heat started the second quarter, they continued the climax of chasing points in the second half of the first quarter. They started with an 8-2 attack wave and directly extended the lead of the Hornets to 10 points.

The situation of the Hornets became very critical, and Byron quickly brought up the main player Jack Lantern who had been replaced.This is a game that determines whether to enter the playoffs, and Byron puts 1 thoughts on it.

Seeing that the Hornets were leading by so many points in the second quarter, the fans of the Hornets also became anxious.Fanatical fans at the scene also began to quiet down.

In the game, at the critical moment, Jack stood up and asked for the ball with his back in the low post, singles against Mourning.

Jack received the ball and turned his back to the basket. Jack gave his body to Mourning, and then he used his body as a fort step by step and arched it inside.

Mourning has not been as good as before since the operation.Under Jack's hard work, he retreated steadily, Jack seized the opportunity, a small sway under the basket, swayed away from Mourning, and scored a goal with a very easy rebound!
"rinse"

Wade's offense failed, and Jack grabbed the rebound.The Heat's retreat was not timely enough, and the Hornets got a chance to break fast. Paul, a small tank, rushed to the Heat's penalty area and successfully passed a basket.

The Hornets chased for four points in a row.

Seeing the Hornets chasing points so fiercely, Heat coach Johnson quickly requested a timeout.

After the timeout came back, the Sharks showed their strength to face Hilton's block and forcibly dunked successfully.Under the leadership of the Sharks, the Heat immediately responded and the Hornets attacked with a 4-0 wave, and the score difference came to 10 points.

With the last 12 seconds left in the first half, the ball was still in the hands of the Hornets.

Paul dribbles to organize the offense!

Williams pressed closely to defend Paul. Williams passed the ball quite strangely, but when it comes to defense, it is indeed not his strong point.

The change of direction in front of Paul's body throws Williams away and kills the Heat's penalty area.

The Heat are an iron army that has always been known for their defense. They put more emphasis on protecting the penalty area from being violated.How could they stand being insulted by Paul like this.

Shark and Mourning rushed over to assist in the defense. Paul saw all this in his eyes, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jack and Paul have been together for such a long season, how could he not know what Paul wants to do?

Jack, who mentioned the free throw line, followed up, but he always kept a certain distance from Jack.Before the double-team between Sharks and Mourning was formed, Paul passed the ball from the gap between Mourning and Sharks.

After Jack received the ball very easily, without the slightest hesitation, he started straight away, bounced high like a spring, twisted his waist forcibly, and hit the ball into the basket with the momentum of Mount Tai.

"Boom" Jack successfully dunked.

The Hornets also narrowed the score to only 8 points because of Jack's dunk.

42 is better than 50!
