Chapter 581 The second half is the real battlefield!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ray Allen suddenly broke out and scored two 2-pointers in a row, instantly catching up with the score.But for the Raptors, Lowry also made consecutive breakthroughs and hit a 3+2, continuing to help the team take the lead.

"If Ray had been so accurate in the first few games, maybe Miami would have advanced!" Barkley said.

"Being so strictly guarded by the opponent, it is impossible to be so accurate every game. Ray is almost 40. If there is no chance to shoot, the speed of the ball-holding rush will no longer be there." Weber said.He and Ray Allen can be regarded as stars of the same era. They have played against each other a lot and know each other better.

Soon, Ying Xiong and other main players came back, and the game immediately turned into a contest of needlepoint vs wheatgrass.

Based on the ferocity of the Heat's attack on the ball holder and the horror of the counterattack, the Raptors played more cautiously, especially when passing the ball, to avoid being counterattacked by the opponent due to mistakes.

It is indeed difficult for the Heat to defend Yingxiong.If the defense is tighter, he will rush through. There is no big man protecting the frame under the basket. In the regular season, he shot 53.5% from the field and 3% from the 43.0-point range. Who would dare to let it go?

"It should be really difficult to defend. There are shots and breakthroughs. You have to choose one of the two bottles of poison. Sean is also very difficult!" Weber said.

"Chris, if you were Sean, which bottle of poison would you choose?" Barkley was very good at picking topics.

Webber thought for a while, and then replied: "If I were Sean, I would let him break through, and then let LeBron and other teammates help defend the basket. Compared with breaking through, the energy consumption corresponding to shooting is too small, and it should be shot. Accuracy and consistency, not DeMar or Rudy."

"Ying's passing vision is no less than LeBron's!" Barkley said quietly.

Let Battier defend Yingxiong alone, he is really uncomfortable.But there is no way, if you can't defend it, you have to defend it. This is a tiebreaker, and whoever retreats will be out of the game.

Ying Xiong is very satisfied with the state of his teammates today, it is indeed a desperate situation.He knew that as long as he survived the first half, it would be more beneficial for his side to activate the hidden attribute in the second half.

The two of James and Way have a characteristic. Most of the time when the team is facing a difficult situation, they will use strong defense and aggressive breakthroughs to destroy each other.

Once Janeway is in a hurry, they rarely drift outside to shoot.In Yingxiong's view, this is human instinct.In this terrible time, he will choose the way he is best at to fight.In fact, he himself is the same. When it comes to critical moments, most of his scoring methods are emergency stop jumpers or breakthroughs. 3-pointers are not the first choice, even though his 3-point shooting percentage is quite good.

The inside pressure of the Raptors suddenly increased.They originally played a lineup of one big and four small, but the big white bear Along Gray on the inside is of sufficient size, so it seems to protect the basket better.

After Janeway still hit the basket frequently, because Ying Xiong and other players did not dare to let Battier and Bosh go, they rushed back to the basket, causing Along Gray's fouls to accumulate rapidly.Soon, he was fouled 3 times and was replaced by teammate Valanciunas.

"LeBron and Dwyane are in a hurry, the game looks good!" Barkley laughed.

The Raptors also responded with an eye for an eye. Ying Xiong, Jeremy Lin and others rushed to the basket desperately, killing Bosh who had been fouled twice.

The Heat made adjustments. They let James and Wade recover the basket and let go of DeRozan and Gay.

"Miami really did that, but Rudy and the others, can they seize the opportunity?" Webber said.

But the Raptors' players have good passing ability, and they quickly passed the ball to Gay and DeRozan who were open.It's just that their hands suddenly lost power at this time, and they hit the opponent's arms.

"Rudy's two shots are not in the right rhythm, the shot is short, and his physical fitness is affected!" Barkley has sharp eyes and immediately pointed out the problem.

The Heat chipped away at the Raptors' lead, and by halftime the teams were back on the same starting line once again.

"This game is not in the final stage, it seems that it is difficult to tell the winner." Barkley spread his hands and said helplessly.

"That's good too. It's been a long time since I watched the tiebreaker. The more exciting the game, the better!" Weber said with a smile.

The hearts of the Raptors fans in the stands are hanging.They were very anxious about DeRozan and Gay getting such a good shot, but they lost their touch. "Why do you lose the chain at the critical moment!"

However, in Ying Xiong's view, it is normal for Gay and DeRozan, who are not pitchers in the first place, to occasionally experience poor hand feeling in such a tense atmosphere.The reason why he didn't stand up and attack in this situation, but watched the opponent nibble away his own advantage by killing the basket, was because he wanted to save his physical strength for the second half.The game is a 48-minute contest, and if you turn on the hidden attribute, you can only last half of the game. The second half is the real battlefield!

Ying Xiong understands the fans' concerns. Of course, the fans hope that the team will immediately turn the game into garbage time, and then happily watch the home team be crowned the Eastern Conference champion.But the reality is that when the two teams are close in strength, the probability of this happening is very small.

——It is not so easy to create team history and enter the finals!

The second half of the game started soon.

However, after the start, the two teams hit 2 pieces of fine iron in a row in 29 minutes and 8 seconds and sent 3 turnovers.In addition to showing that the defensive strength of the two teams is indeed strong, the feel is really not good.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and saw Ying Xiong asking for a position on the left wing.He quickly held the ball to the top of the arc on the left, and then lobbed it to the past.

Battier's defense is a steady flow, he did not take the risk of going around the front to steal, but still stood firmly in his position, and did not give the opponent a chance to break through.

Ying Xiong hit Battier with his back. The opponent's body is very strong, which is not comparable to Chalmers and Norris Cole.He half turned around after receiving the ball, and when he saw that his opponent was not fooled, he immediately turned around and made three threats.

Seeing this, Battier immediately took a half step back.This is his subconscious, because the opponent's breakthrough speed is too fast, as long as there is a little negligence, he will be wiped clean.He hadn't encountered a 6-foot-8 player with such a quick first step, not even Tracy McGrady back then.

But because of Battier's small step back, Ying Xiong took a step back and shot a jumper instantly...

Battier quickly jumped up and rushed over to cover his eyes, but he was a step too late, so he could only hope that his opponent missed the shot.

Ying Xiong made a steady mid-range hit and scored the first 2 points for the two teams in the second half.
