The Heat are very experienced. They flanked the beast, emptied Varejao, allowed Jeremy Lin and Jefferson to shoot some 3-pointers, and did not give JR a good chance to shoot 3-pointers.

On the offensive end, they are still step by step, counterattack when they have the opportunity, and Wade and Dragic score suddenly if there is no opportunity, and Gerald Green shoots 3 points.

The Heat are slowly chasing points, and the Cavaliers' offense seems to be a problem because of the opponent's zone defense and conscious emptiness.

But the two teams are still stalemate, and no one can easily open the point difference.

But as soon as the beast came out, the Heat began to take advantage.

The Heat's bench lineup is balanced. When the two giants of the Cavaliers do not play and Shumpert does not play, the original bench lineup becomes the starting lineup, and the bench lineup seems a bit insufficient.

The Heat began to suppress the Cavaliers, overtook the score, and their momentum returned.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 22 points at 25:3.

The Beast was frantically pinched in the first quarter, but still scored 5 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Compared with the previous game, the performance was nothing, but it still filled the data column.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers increased their defensive strength, and the two sides began to fight crazily. The game entered a situation where no one could easily score.

After the beast came up, the Heat continued to pinch him crazily, TT was shorting TT, and Varejao was shorting Varejao.

The Beast was pinched and split the ball, and his teammates couldn't convert it into a score, which made him play hard.He suddenly felt like he was in the Timberwolves before.At halftime, the Cavaliers trailed by 44 points 46:2.The offense on both sides is not good. You come and go to strike iron, and it is difficult to achieve continuous scoring performance.

At the end of the half, Beast scored 9 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Although comprehensive, he did not score double digits, which is rare in his season.

You must know that in the last game, he scored 33 points in the half, setting a new half-time scoring record in his NBA career. In this game, he only scored 9 points. Is he tired?

During the intermission, Cavaliers coach David Blatt asked Beast: "Tom, how is your physical strength? If you are tired, you can rest for a while in the second half!"

"I'm fine coach, there's no problem with my physical fitness!" Beast is telling the truth, what's wrong with his physical fitness, with the blessing of chloroplast, his physical fitness should be one of the strongest in the entire league, and he was tired after only half of the game. Seven or eight times.

Wang Meng asked Su Qun: "Mr. Su, what do you think is the reason why it is so difficult for the knights to attack?"

Su Qun replied solemnly: "The most important thing is that Shou Ye was flanked, and the others were not able to score stably. Why was Shou Ye so fiercely flanked, and the more the opponent flanked, the more unscrupulous it was because the Cavaliers had too little space to attack. Wa Lejo and Tristan Thompson were completely left empty, the opponent was 5 defenses and 4 defenses, and the opponent defended the zone defense from time to time, if you don’t punish them from the outside, they will naturally shrink and shrink.”

The second half of the game was exactly the same as the first half.The Cavaliers only had an 8-point lead at the beginning of the first quarter, and they have been chasing points since then.

The Heat showed why they are No. 3 in the Eastern Conference. They are tough, experienced and disciplined.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers trailed the Heat by 65 points 70:5.

The Beast scored 14 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the third quarter. Although it reached a double-double, the scoring was still not enough and the efficiency was not high.

After more than 3 minutes in the final quarter, the Cavaliers were already 9 points behind the Heat, and then the Cavaliers suspended.

During the timeout, Tyronn Lue proposed to play a small lineup.

"Obviously the opponent has been pinching us and emptying our big men. We need to speed up and increase the offensive space. It may be better to play one big and four small to deal with the opponent's zone defense!" Tyronn Lue said.

Both James and Beast agreed, and of course David Blatt had no objection. He made Beast ready to play and sent a team of Beast, Jefferson, JR, Beau Bois, and Jeremy Lin.

This lineup is the first time this game has appeared, and this season is also the first time this lineup has appeared.In the finals of last season, the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors' Hampton Five with a small lineup.And they seldom use a small lineup this season, and they were forced to have no choice in this game, so they still took out the bottom-of-the-box lineup.

Of course, there is no James in this small lineup, so coach David Blatt has no idea about the effect.

At this time, the score on the court was 68:77, and the Heat led by 9 points!
The Heat's lineup at this time is Taylor Johnson, Josh Richardson, Winslow, Haslem, and Josh McRoberts.

Before going on the field, the Beast gathered the five people together and cheered everyone up: "Wait a minute, if they pinch me, I will pass the ball out, and I will make a decisive shot if I have a chance. Don't hesitate, don't be afraid of not being able to make the shot, I will snatch it back! Also, defend, defend like hell! We'll win!"

Beast's words ignited the emotions of the Cavaliers' five-man team. Who wants to lose, of course they don't like it. It's not the time to give up now. Losing a regular season is a big deal. You haven't seen such a big storm before, are you still afraid of this?
Players from both sides appear on the field and the game continues.

Wang Meng said in surprise: "Mr. Su, the Cavaliers have changed their lineup. They no longer use Varejao and Tristan Thompson. They play a small lineup!"

Su Qun agreed: "I think this change is necessary. Obviously, the previous lineup was restrained by the opponent in the absence of James, and players with no shooting ability were removed. This will increase the risk of the opponent attacking Shouye, because With Shou Ye's vision, if it is passed to the open teammates, that is an opportunity."

Beaubois was very excited, he finally appeared with his good friend Beast again.Now the three of them go together, who is afraid of whom!
Jeremy Lin gave the ball to Beaubois.

Beaubois transfers the ball to the Beast!
The Heat continued to attack, and the Beast passed the ball diagonally to the open JR!

opportunity!

JR 3 points Biao shot - a little bit!
Haslem grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Tyler Johnson for the halfcourt dribble.

Beaubois led like a mad dog all over the court to limit Taylor Johnson.

Tyler Johnson, who played well in this game, gave the ball to Josh Richardson!

Richardson broke through to Haslem.

Haslem's extreme mid-range shot - a difficult hit!

At 68:79, the two sides came to the biggest point difference in the field-11 points!
Beast is comforting his teammates: "Continue to defend like this, their hit rate cannot be kept like this forever, we stick to our strategy, and we will definitely gain something!"

The cheers at the American Airlines Center arena were louder and louder. Although James is not there, if they can rub against the Cavaliers who are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference at home, it will be a huge boost to the team's self-confidence.
