Legend Raiders

Chapter 790
Raptors home.

For the Raptors, this game is basically five or two with the Trail Blazers.

Even because of the strength of the Heat, their chances are slimmer than those of the Trail Blazers.

But here is Toronto, their home and turf, plus off-court factors, they may be able to compete with the Heat.

So every fan knows what to do when they come to the scene.

From the moment they entered the arena, they showed a very urgent side and made the scene full of hustle and bustle early.

In the locker rooms of the two teams, the Heat really didn't have much emotional ups and downs.

Because they are in the same situation as the Spurs, after winning three games, there is no need to be too anxious.

Besides, it doesn't matter if they lose, they are confident that they can win the entire series at home.

The Raptors must be in a different mood, and it seems that the pressure is not small.

They can play like this this season, which can be said to be very commendable.

Honestly.

Although their lineup and current strength are sufficient to reach this stage on the books, judging from their performance in the playoffs, they are not enough to support the ability of this lineup.

In the second round, they met the Heat, which was aiming to defend their title. To put it bluntly, they could win a game in the hands of the Heat, which was already their upper limit.

soon.

As players from both sides came out one after another, the fans on the scene burst into loud cheers.

This is their way of supporting the home team and everyone wants to see their miracle moment!

thereafter.

The warm-up and appearance ceremony was very lively. Amid the cheers of the fans, the main players of the two teams began to appear on the field one after another.

The Raptors' lineup is still the same, and Coach Casey trusts them very much.

The center is Qonas Valanciunas, the starter, the power forward is Amir Johnson, the small forward is Terrence Ross, the shooting guard is DeMar DeRozan, and the point guard is Kyle Lowe. Rui.

Such a lineup, as mentioned before, can be said to have a very balanced offense and defense!
If this lineup is placed one or two years later, it will be really competitive, but it is still the 13-14 season, which is when they are just starting.

The lineup of the Heat has not changed much. Chris Bosh is the center, Haslem is the power forward, James is the small forward, Wade is the shooting guard, and Mario Chalmers is the point guard.

Needless to say, this lineup, after adding some small ball tactics, their offensive and defensive performance has also become sharper.

From this second-round series, their changes have brought some surprises.

at last.

With the center players of both sides coming to the center circle, the others entered the stage of opening the battle after a friendly greeting.

After the referee explained something, he immediately threw the basketball into the air.

With the basketball reaching its apex, Bosh and Valanciunas jumped at the same time.

have to say.

If the floor level wants to jump the ball with the quality level, the result really has nothing to say.

After Bosh got the ball for the team, they began to consciously speed up the rhythm and speed.

That's what they've changed on offense.

If it is placed in the previous game, they may have a steady hand first, and then the rhythm will change.

But after they consciously speed up the pace of this game, they can also see their thoughts on this game.

The Raptors were obviously not prepared for the Heat's small changes.

When they retreated, there were some faults. The inside line was still outside the half court, and only the small man in the frontcourt kept up.

In this way, the Heat's offense will naturally be very smooth.

Bosh pulled up to the high position, Haslem came to the flank, James started with the ball, Wade and Chalmers were ready to attack, and the other was ambushing in the corner on the other side.

After the space is stretched to the extreme, the Raptors want to rely on three people to defend, that is simply a fantasy.

then.

With James' breakthrough in place, Terrence Ross has tried his best to defend, but there is no way for Wade's flank.

Boom!

Wade's iconic slam dunk made the hustle and bustle of the scene quiet.

Janeway appeared on the first goal of the line, and this state put tremendous pressure and burden on the Raptors.

In the next first quarter of the game, such situations abound, but they are enough to cause huge problems for the Raptors' defense.

Especially on the two points of defending James and Wade, they can say that they can't find any way at all. They can only watch the two people stage exciting cooperation again and again.

Their score was fixed at 23:16 in the first quarter. Not only did the Raptors fail to defend the Heat, but their offense and defense were equally bad.

In the ensuing second quarter, the Raptors finally took a breather as players began to rotate.

But with the sudden outbreak of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, the Raptors' lineup was completely unbearable.

Because they may still have some ways to face an elite shooter, but when facing two elite shooters, they were shot accurately by the two of them, tearing up their own defense.

Reluctantly replaced.

The main players of the Raptors appeared on the stage one after another, trying to control the situation on the field.

But Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, who have already played, will have to spend a lot of energy if they want to limit them.

At this time, you have to sigh the power of the veteran.

They can buy more rest time for the main players, and they can bring an unparalleled test to the opponent's defense.

Like now.

Although Ray Allen and Ray Allen's sights have declined after the strict defense against them, when the two veterans started to pass the ball, the Raptors were exhausted.

Birdman's dunk, Battier's three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Norris Cole's sudden shot, because of those two veterans, the entire Heat team's lineup was completely alive!
Such and such!

The heat team's main force actually had no one to play, and Shengsheng finished the second quarter with this lineup.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was fixed at 48:36.

The [-]-point difference is not much different from that of the Trail Blazers and Spurs at that time, and there is only a disadvantage for the Raptors.

The second half.

With the start of the third quarter, the Raptors suddenly showed a very tough side.

They invested a lot of energy on the defensive end, so that within 3 minutes, they completely locked the Heat's offense and did not allow them to score a point.

Simultaneously.

In some defensive counterattacks and positional battles, they scored eight points.

After this round of 8:0, Spoelstra directly called a timeout.

Because their point difference is only four points, as long as the Raptors continue, maybe the situation will not be so optimistic for them.

Don't forget that this is the home of the Raptors!
After the timeout ended, the Heat finally got better, but it was just better.

After the end of the quarter, the Raptors used their toughness to tie the score!
Such good news made the scene full of joy.

The sound of cheering was endless, and the cheers filled every inch of space.

The Heat finally felt a lot of pressure, and both on and off the court broke out, making them feel very bad.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Heat tried their best to control the rhythm in their own hands.

The Raptors are becoming more determined, after all, this game can be said to be their last chance.

So when the game reached the last minute, both teams remained in a tie.

When they have only one offensive opportunity left, it's time to fight for the stars and fight for the heart.

The Raptors take the lead in attacking!
Any Heat player knows that DeRozan holds the ball. They are very focused on DeRozan while taking care of their opponents.

At this time.

Kyle Lowry's sudden back run completely shattered the Heat's defense.

With DeRozan's pass in place, this little man doesn't care whether he will make it or not. If he has a chance, he will make a mid-range jumper.

wow~~~
As the basketball hit the net, there were soaring cheers and shouts at the scene.

Because after this goal was scored, while they overtook the Heat, the time was only ten seconds!
As long as they can withstand it, the victory of this game will be theirs!
Going to Miami with 2:3, maybe they will be the final winners!

But unlike the fans in the stands, the pressure on the Raptors players is simply greater than the mountain.

Because the Heat have too many players who execute the last shot, at least Ray Allen, Rashad Lewis and Battier are not the three they can underestimate.

Coupled with James and Wade who have the greatest grasp, even if Bosh does not appear, the threat of their lineup is very terrible.

Start!
With the end of the timeout, the Heat's offense came quickly.

collision!

confrontation!

The bodies of the two teams kept bumping into each other, and the time passed by every minute.

at last!

As time entered the last four seconds, James and Wade launched an impact on the Raptors at the same time.

at the same time!

When the two of them attracted everyone's attention, the basketball was suddenly passed from the somewhat crowded inside lane.

Battier!
This guy who wants to go into politics after retiring, catches firmly and throws decisively.

Three points! !
Battier finally hit the three-pointer firmly!

With his scoring, the Raptors can basically declare home!
Because the time is only one second, as long as the Heat do not make major mistakes, the Raptors will have no chance!

really!

When DeRozan quickly passed the ball to Terrence Ross, the latter made a hasty shot and could only regret it!

This is the end.

Both the East and West have teams that have advanced to the conference finals, the West is the Spurs, and the East is the Heat!
