Chapter 580 Meat Grinder Showdown

A timeout was entered on the sidelines, and the Raptors' home cheerleaders danced.

The fans of the home team were very nervous. Of course they hoped that the home team would take a big lead at the beginning of the game. Even if the excitement of the game would drop a bit, the suspense would not be that great and it would not be a problem, as long as the home team wins.

"Charles, it doesn't look like the game will be decided so quickly!" Weber said with a smile.

"Maybe there will be overtime!" Barkley yawned, a little out of spirit.

Pause back, the game continues.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and started the offense with the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.In recent games, the two teams have often been unable to easily play tactics, and the offense relies more on the individual abilities of the players for singles.The Heat have more superstars, while the Raptors have more players who can single-handedly hold the ball, so it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Jeremy Lin gave the ball to DeRozan, and the latter forced Wade with his back, turned around and shot a jumper-capped!
James got the ball and pushed back, but Ying Xiong broke the ball back from behind!

Ying Xiong advances at high speed, changes direction and cuts in, faces Battier, makes an emergency stop, then changes direction and starts up quickly, passes the opponent, faces Bosh, stops and forces a layup - he is beaten down abruptly!
"The ability to control the body is amazing!" Weber couldn't help but sigh.

The referee immediately whistled for a foul, and he was also worried that once this kind of ball was whistled not in time, the two sides might cause conflicts on the court.

The fans of the Raptors immediately booed and gave it to the former "Dragon King".Now in their eyes, Ying Xiong is the owner of this arena, and Bosh, who abandoned the team, does not deserve the love of the fans of this team at all.

Ying Xiong stepped to the free throw line and easily made two free throws, rewriting the score to 10:8.

For the Heat, Battier missed a 3-pointer from the bottom corner - Jeremy Lin received the rebound and pushed Gay for a fast break point, and the latter chased him for a mid-range shot - no!
Wade accepts the rebound, lowers the tempo, and slowly dribbles over.Under this kind of high-intensity confrontation, both sides consume a lot of physical energy and their hit rate is not high. The faster they play, the more disadvantageous they are who are older and have fewer rotations.As the owner of two championship rings, his ability to control the court is not inferior to any player on the Raptors.

"Dwyane is right to do this. Miami may not have taken too much advantage by running away. The opponent is too young and has good physical fitness." Barkley commented.

Here James received the ball at the top of the arc, faced Gay's defense, and after a pick-and-roll with Wade, he directly forced DeRozan.

DeRozan was a little overwhelmed, and here Along Gray came to help defend.

James immediately passed the ball to Wade on the weak side, who feinted and went to the basket, causing a foul by Gay.

Wade walked to the free throw line and successfully made two free throws, and the two sides drew again!

Jeremy Lin dribbles over, moves the ball outside, and the ball comes back to him.He suddenly saw Ying Xiong who got a chance without the ball with the help of a screen, and immediately raised his hand and passed the ball.

Ying Xiong catches the ball and directly shoots a jump shot——unfortunately not!
But Along Gray at the basket has rebounds!

Along Gray returned the ball to Jeremy Lin at the top of the arc and continued to attack.

Jeremy Lin gave it to Guy, and Guy gave it to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong took a tentative step with the ball, with a false center of gravity, luring Battier into the bait.

Shane Battier is also a defensive titan, facing the opponent's fake moves, he is indifferent.

Seeing this, Ying Xiong said that he can't be soft, he can only be hard.After he shook his shoulders, he started it instantly, like lightning, and walked towards the basket with big strides.

Bosh at the basket was waiting there early, trying to make Ying Xiong an offensive foul.

However, Ying Xiong suddenly passed the ball to Along Grey who was open on the other side of the basket during such high-speed travel!
"It's all right!" Weber couldn't help shouting out.In his opinion, Yingxiong was extremely difficult to handle the ball. Shane Battier was chasing after him, and Bosh was very cunning in his position ahead of him. In the opponent's double "sandwich" defense.

Along Grey's reaction was not fast, but he got an open space at the basket, so he naturally wouldn't be soft-handed, and he dunked with both hands directly!

This dunk aroused the cheers of the Raptors fans at the scene. In such a dull game, such wonderful moments are indeed too rare.

Here Bosh tried to fight back, and shot a 3-pointer from the outside - but nothing!
"This ball is too anxious, you can stabilize it." Barkley explained.

Ying Xiong received the rebound, pushed forward with the ball, and faced James' defense at the top of the arc. With the help of Jeremy Lin's cover, he directly changed direction and cut to the 3-point line.

Facing Battier, Ying Xiong made a breakthrough with his right hand and then turned around. When he got to the basket, he faced Bosh and made a strong move. He followed the opponent and dunked into the basket!

"Can you still come like this?" Weber opened his mouth wide.

Bosh struggled to take off, but was a step too late, and was directly blocked by Ying Xiong!
"Bang——" Bosh took a few steps back, showing the impact of Yingxiong's ball.At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded - Bosh thug foul!

Bosh reasoned to the referee that he did not foul, but the referee insisted on his penalty and gave Ying Xiong a 2+1 chance.

"This ball should be a thug, there is no doubt about it!" Barkley said with a rare seriousness after changing his previous attitude of laughing and joking.

Ying Xiong made an additional free throw and the score was stretched to 5 points. Coach Spoel immediately requested a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Bosh, who had been fouled twice, was replaced by Birdman.

The game continued.Birdman is full of passion for playing, and the defensive end is full of enthusiasm, but when it comes to the tactical role of the offensive end, he obviously cannot compare with Bosh.As soon as he came on the court, the space on the court became narrower, and the opponent naturally shrunk even harder, making it more difficult for Janeway to break through.

But Birdman is not useless, he made the Raptors break through on the court to some extent.Birdman is only 208cm tall, but he bounces well and is very hard on the defensive end, almost everywhere.

As a result, the two teams fell into the "strike mode" again, scoring basically by counterattacking a few times, or holding the ball to cause damage.

The game entered the transition period, Ying Xiong took a rest, and Lowry and Bargnani joined the game.

Due to Bosh's foul crisis, the Heat did not use the lineup of James + 4 pitchers.In fact, since they were blasted by the Raptors last time with Yingxiong + 4 pitchers, this lineup has rarely been used.

In the converging period of the game, the two sides still played evenly, and the offensive efficiency continued the previous downturn, and it was very difficult to score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors led their opponents by 22 points at 18:4.

The fans of the Raptors saw that although the home team did not attack, they still took the lead, and their nervousness was slightly relieved.
