NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 239 Fighting Intent
The Heat actually played well in the final quarter, but the gap between the two teams has already occurred, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The Suns also took the opportunity to let more substitute players go up and exercise. Although they seem to be restraining the Heat, it is not wrong to make more preparations.

The championship that can be won steadily, if it is lost because of drifting, it must not be forgiven.

Therefore, under the operation of the Suns, they also won the second game of the finals steadily.

However, the Heat's players did not feel discouraged. Wade said: "We are facing a huge challenge, and we must win. This is the finals, and we should be grateful for the opportunity to accept the challenge."

Their head coach Riley also said: "The Suns played a great game today, and they did everything they could to win. Now we are in a horrible situation, doing something this team has never done."

D'Antoni said, "We are prepared for the difficulty of the away game, and the opponent will not be defeated so easily. But we have faced strong enemies in a row, and we will not have any timid emotions."

Russell also said after the game: "We studied the Heat last season, and now we have met, very good, we can only reach the highest peak on one side. Now that we are ahead, we will not make mistakes to give our opponents a chance to catch up to us. "

Already in the finals, there is no need for Russell to keep a low profile. The Suns just have the strength to win the game.

Two days later, the Suns arrived at the Heat's home stadium, American Airlines Arena.

American Airlines and US Airways are not the same company, both like to advertise in stadiums.

Russell doesn't care about the slight penalty scale in the away game. The Suns have enough strength to adapt.

Only when the difference in strength is not large, the home field advantage will be more important.

The starters of the two teams will not change, and the Heat will only rotate with eight players when they come and go. It is difficult for these players to change more tricks.

In history, the Mavericks were overturned because they were not strong enough, but the Suns are different.

Back home, Wade came up very brave, and it was easier to get fouled.

Of course, this doesn't really affect him much. When his physical strength is good, the sun is hard to limit.

The key is O'Neal's point, maybe because he is more familiar with the home basket, he felt good about this free throw.

This still has a relatively large impact. If O'Neill erupts, it will be very troublesome.

But O'Neal didn't play too much, and Wade was still the main player.

Russell feels that O'Neill is just a hypocrite now, and he won't have much time if he is really tough.

And the free throw incident seems to be contagious. O'Neal feels good, but Walker and Haslem are inaccurate.

The Heat's free throws are actually problematic as a whole, and each of the five main players is very good.

That is to say, Wade has a big heart and is relatively stable at critical moments.

The sun is not yet at the time to kill the shark, otherwise no matter whether it is O'Neal or Mourning, they will not be able to escape.

Therefore, the Suns actually still have a lot of targeted tactics that have not been used, because they are not necessary, their strength is much stronger than the opponent, and they are also capable in all aspects.

The Heat's defense at home has also improved a bit, mainly because the penalty scale is somewhat different. Their defense can be more aggressive, and it was the same against the Pistons last year.

Of course, the Heat still haven't reached the level of the Pistons.

Both Marion and Joe Johnson needed to get used to it, but Iguodala was silent, still the same as before, and hit a three-pointer.

Last season, when Iguodala felt good, the team would be much more relaxed. This season, the team's offensive power has become stronger. Iguodala is actually not that impressive. Even when he does not perform well, The sun is also unaffected.

But he has always been a starter, his defense and offense are remarkable, and he is also very stable in the playoffs.

It can't be a big explosion, but he is always indispensable.

Such a player has a good overall strength and plays with a head, and any team will like it.

Of course, being the boss is still a little bit worse. In the past, the 76ers tried their best to help them but failed.

Russell was as stable as ever, so the Heat took the lead at home, but not by much.

And after entering the rotation period, it was the Suns who grabbed the advantage again.

The Heat's substitutes really don't have much offensive power, that is, they can defend, otherwise they would not have entered the finals so easily.

The Heat have no choice but to let Wade play more.

It's just that the price of Wade playing more is to reduce his shooting percentage. Fortunately, he can make up for it with free throws.

And O'Neal is just bluffing. He must rest more at home, otherwise he will not be able to keep up.

In fact, I can't keep up on the court. The Sun's small lineup is really fast, and everyone can hold the ball.

So when Russell is resting now, the Suns are also attacking well. After this season, the value of young people like the Suns can be said to be increasing rapidly.

However, because O'Neal made good free throws in front, the sun's pit is still a bit big.

When Russell played in the second quarter, he found that the team was still behind and started scoring mode.

He just pulls out when he finds an opportunity, which is relatively simple, but sometimes he deliberately finds fouls.

Because of playing a lot of simulated games, Russell is now proficient in many moves, and it is getting more and more difficult to defend him.

After he exerted his strength, Wade didn't continue to create damage to maintain the lead.

But they were running out of lead and by half-time the gap was narrow.

In the past, the penalty was not so bad at the beginning. It was Wade who performed well. The league felt that he could create a hero, and the subsequent games favored him. After all, Nowitzki is a foreigner, so he must be unlucky.

But if the Suns keep suppressing the Heat, they won't be able to wait for any help. Besides, if the opponent becomes the Suns, the league may not help Wade. The Suns don't care about a little home whistle and a few more free throws per game.

But no matter what, the Heat still took the lead in the home half.

The Suns must not be taken lightly. If they are pulled back by the opponent, who knows what the consequences will be.

The previous Suns lost a game after winning the match point, so it doesn't matter.

If you lose in the front, the league will improve its penalty scale for the sake of excellence, and it will not be good to overturn.

So they have to pay attention to this game, they have to press the Heat to death, and don't give them a chance to come back.

During the intermission, Russell also emphasized to everyone, "We must attack, this is our strongest point, we are the most offensive team in the league, everyone must have confidence."

Russell was eloquent, and D'Antoni next to him was smiling, and he was used to it.

The Suns players were a little ashamed. Russell's pass was so good, and they didn't grasp many opportunities.

They are the strongest team in the league, they want to defend, they can't hold back.

Falling behind at halftime made the Suns players even more motivated.
