Chapter 293 The end of the first half

"The two games that the Miami Heat lost at home were basically losses in the last quarter, and the main reason for that was because LeBron James and Dwyane Wade played three consecutive quarters. , so that the physical decline in the last quarter of the game led to poor performance. Therefore, in this game, coach Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat decided to give LeBron James and Dwyane More rest time for En Wade so as not to repeat the same mistakes..."

At the start of the second quarter, game commentator Reggie Miller in the Conseco Arena said so.

In the previous two games, coach Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat, in order to win the game, has been using the team's two superstars, "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "Lightning". "Hero" Dwyane Wade stayed on the court and played almost the entire game.However, in this game, both "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "Flash" Dwyane Wade sat on the bench at the beginning of the second quarter.

Coach Erik Spoelstra did this, naturally, to allow LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to preserve their energy and prepare for the following games.However, compared with the Indiana Pacers' bench lineup, the Miami Heat's bench lineup was more than one level worse, so that the Miami Heat team was overtaken by the Indiana Pacers shortly after the start of the second quarter.

"It seems that Coach Erik Spoelstra still needs to find a way to strengthen the offensive power of the Miami Heat's bench lineup." Reggie Miller said.

In fact, coach Erik Spoelstra didn't want to.But after LeBron James and Dwyane Wade left the field, the Miami Heat did not have a stable scoring point at all. With the current lineup of the Miami Heat, it is impossible to strengthen the offensive power of the substitute lineup.Although Sean Battier, Mike Miller and other veterans sit on the bench, they can contribute too little offensive firepower to the team.

"The Miami Heat should make some real deals to strengthen the depth of the team's bench. It is impossible to win the NBA championship by relying on the personal performance of the two superstars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Champion," Reggie Miller said.

On the court, Shane Battier's outside three-pointer missed, Indiana Pacers backup power forward Tyler Hansbrough grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Indiana Pacers immediately launched a quick counterattack.Although Xu Nuo was not on the court at this time, OJ Mayo received a pass from Darren Collison and scored a layup, which also completed this fast break. At 32:27, the Indiana Pacers at home had led the Miami Heat by five points.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade didn't rest long off the court, and after about four minutes into the second quarter, the two superstars returned to the court at the same time.For the sake of the team's victory, coach Erik Spoelstra dare not let LeBron James and Dwyane Wade sit under the court for too long, if Erik Spoelstra The coach waited until halfway through the second quarter to get LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the court, and the Miami Heat would have trailed the Indiana Pacers by double digits.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade achieved immediate results immediately after they came on the court. Since Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown did not make substitution adjustments, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Germany will have the upper hand in front of its opponents.So "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "The Flash" Dwyane Wade began to hit the Indiana Pacers' basket in turn. With the efforts of these two superstars, the Miami Heat gradually chased the score. up.

"Isn't Coach Larry Brown asking for a timeout at this time?" Xu Nuo frowned and looked at Coach Larry Brown standing in front of the coach's bench. Now that the team has been tied by the Miami Heat, it's best It is better to ask for a pause and adjust.

However, coach Larry Brown did not ask for a timeout at the first time. OJ Mayo missed a mid-range shot. The Miami Heat launched a quick counterattack again after getting the ball. "Dwyane Wade's pass alley-oop dunk, helping the Miami Heat lead the score again.As a result, coach Larry Brown had to request a timeout. If the game continues like this, it is estimated that the Indiana Pacers will fall behind more and more.

During the timeout, coach Larry Brown replaced the backup small forward Rudy Fernandez with the team's top scorer Danny Granger, and at the same time began to "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "The Flash" Dwyane Wade double-teams the defense.In order to break the Indiana Pacers' double-team defense, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade both began to pay attention to passing.However, the other players of the Miami Heat team really had a bad touch, and there was no way to convert the passes of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade into assists. The Indiana Pacers took this opportunity to lead the score again.

"It seems that we still have to use our personal ability to attack their basket." Dwyane Wade said to LeBron James.

LeBron James didn't say anything, but spit out the braces in his mouth, looking very helpless.

"I don't know why Eric hasn't made substitution adjustments yet." Dwyane Wade continued.

"Maybe we really should change a head coach." LeBron James dropped such a sentence coldly, put the braces back in his mouth, and began to participate in the team's offense.

Miami Heat backup point guard Norris Cole dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to "The Flash" Dwyane Wade standing outside the three-point line, immediately OJ Mayo and Darren Curry Sen two Indiana Pacers stood in front of Dwyane Wade.Dwyane Wade passed the ball back to Norris Cole, but Darren Collison returned in time to block Norris Cole and the basket again.

"The defense is really good!" Dwyane Wade thought in his heart.

Norris Cole had no chance to attack with the ball himself, so he had to hand the ball to "Little Emperor" LeBron James.However, when LeBron James received the ball, Danny Granger and Tyler Hansbrough also immediately blocked LeBron James and the basket.LeBron James turned around and forcibly broke through the defenses of Danny Granger and Tyler Hansbrough. Then with a slight flick of his wrist, the ball came to Shane Battier who was outside the three-point line.

Although Sean Battier's state is not as good as before, his ability to seize opportunities is still there.Sean Battier took a shot from outside the three-point line, the ball drew a high arc in the air, and "swiped" into the net!
"It really deserves to be Sean Battier!" Sitting on the bench Xu Nuo sighed like this. Before entering the NBA, Xu Nuo, as a fan of the Houston Rockets, did that to Sean Battier. Impressed by precise three-pointers, and now promised to see Sean Battier's outside three-pointer and long shot, he couldn't help sighing.

Promise did not reappear until about seven minutes into the second quarter, when the Indiana Pacers had a 7-42 lead over the Miami Heat.However, shortly after Xu Nuo played, Xu Nuo assisted Danny Granger to hit a long three-pointer from the outside, helping the Indiana Pacers expand their lead.After the promised assist, Coach Larry Brown turned his head and asked his assistant coach: "What is the promised data now?"

"Five assists, but only two points." Assistant coach Jim Boylen replied.

"Only scored two points?" Coach Larry Brown frowned and said, "It seems that the promise has little impact on the inside of the Miami Heat, and passing the ball alone cannot solve all problems!"

After being reminded by coach Larry Brown, Xu Nuo strengthened his personal breakthrough and attacked the inside line of the Miami Heat.Under repeated attacks, Xu Nuo got at least four free throws.As a result, at the end of the first half, the promised personal data became seven points and six assists.

Xu Nuo looked up at the scoreboard above the court and couldn't help smiling when he saw that the Indiana Pacers still lead the Miami Heat by five points at 52:47. "With the current situation, it is entirely possible for us to win tonight's game and eliminate the Miami Heat!" Xu Nuo said to Danny Granger.

"Although we hold the lead, we still must not be careless." Danny Granger said, "You have to know that the impact of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade is very strong. , they will definitely launch a stronger impact in the second half of the game!"

"In any case, we will definitely win in the end!" Xu Nuo said.

Danny Granger nodded.

On the other end of the court, the Miami Heat players headed down toward the players' locker room.Although the team is only five points behind the opponent, the point difference is not very big, but the team's performance in the first half of the game is hard to say.LeBron James looked at coach Eric Spoelstra walking in front of him coldly, and began to figure out how to force coach Eric Spoelstra down.
