This difficult goal made McGinnis roar with excitement.
Kid immediately went over and patted his head.
This guy is usually unreliable, but he can still be trusted at critical moments.
Of course, this ball has a lot of luck.
In fact, after McGinnis grabbed the rebound that O'Neal had,
Shaq was already anxious and wanted to make amends. It happened that McGinnis wanted to shoot under the basket.
O'Neal thought of the simplest way of revenge in an instant.
What could be more satisfying than a big block on the head?
But he was too anxious. In fact, with O'Neal's height and wingspan, as long as he didn't jump,
he honestly occupied the position under the basket with his hands raised, McGinnis would be blocked 100 times no matter how many times he shot.
But after that jump was shaken off, McGinnis seized the gap,
he used all his skills and finally succeeded in breaking ground on the head of the shark.
For O'Neal, this was just a lucky shot. Although he was a little annoyed, it didn't make him lose his mind. He just needed to fight back with one round. He turned around and walked to the Nets half court. The Heat attacked. Under the Nets' basket, Shark finally received the ball after several passes. The double-teaming tactic took effect again when O'Neal was preparing to play alone. Shark once again passed the ball to Eddie Jones at the bottom line. The latter did not adjust and shot directly from outside the three-point line. The thing Jefferson didn't want to see happened the most. Eddie Jones made a three-pointer! It is said that the basket is like the sea. For the first time, veteran Jones felt that this statement was reliable. The two teams' scores were deadlocked in the third quarter. The Heat blossomed in many places. Except for Damon Jones who didn't have a good touch, veteran Mourning was like a fish in water under the basket. McGinnis, who had just shone, was still a little Kalami on the defensive end. He was bullied to death. Mourning had scored 18 points on his head today. Eddie Jones continued his good touch, making 2 of 3 three-pointers in the third quarter.
By the end of the third quarter, he had contributed 16 points.
O'Neal also found several opportunities under the basket, and his score was also rising, but most of the time he was double-teamed by the Nets.
He only scored 17 points in the first three quarters.
The Heat team blossomed in all aspects. Wade was at ease on the offensive end, and he turned into a magician in the third quarter.
He sent 5 assists in a single quarter, and had a double-double record of 19 points and 11 assists by the end of the third quarter.
Even with Roy and Carter firing on all cylinders, the Nets were still widened by the Heat in the third quarter.
94 to 76
The score difference came to a suspenseful level. 18 points on the edge of the cliff,
At the end of the third quarter, except for Roy and Carter, everyone on the Nets bench lowered their heads,
Coach Frank wrote on the tactical board and then said:
"Raga, you play for Jefferson in the fourth quarter, and watch Eddie Jones to death. I don't want to see his three-pointer in the fourth quarter!"
"Carlos!"
Arroyo turned his head in disbelief. He didn't expect the coach to call him.
You know, the fourth quarter of the last game had already entered garbage time, and he only got 5 minutes of playing time.
"Carlos, you will replace McGuinness at the beginning of the fourth quarter. You will defend Damon Jones. Remember to charge. We need your speed!"
Arroyo's hands were shaking with excitement.
Coach Frank's tactics were almost desperate.
It was to increase the offensive ability.
If the score could not be reduced to less than 10 points within 5 minutes of the fourth quarter,
then the Nets would have a high probability of suffering defeat on the road today.
Speeding up and increasing impact is also a tactic tailored to the situation that the Heat have too many veterans and their pace is generally not up to par.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter,
When the camera was on the Heat players, Pat Riley was standing on the sidelines.
When he was explaining something to the players, the whole audience cheered.
Seeing this group of fans cheering for Pat Riley,
Stan Van Gundy was furious: "These bitches, fence-sitters, can do nothing but support a bastard who picked peaches!"
Suddenly I felt that life was so realistic, and the bad feeling of being forgotten came to my mind.
It seemed that in an instant everyone had forgotten that they were the coaches who really led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals this season.
I was angry again, the game hadn't been won yet.
Why were the cheers so loud? Those who didn't know would think that the Heat had won.
Looking around speechlessly, please don't be so happy, wake up, this is just the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The Nets players walked onto the court one after another,
Pat Riley's originally relaxed brows frowned again
Nets: Jason Kidd, Carlos Arroyo, Raja Bell, Vince Carter, Roy
Heat: Damon Jones, Dwyane Wade, Eddie Jones, Alonzo Mourning, O'Neal
This lineup is as abstract as it can be. The Heat seem to be out of place no matter how they calculate it.
Except for Roy, there are no players over 2 meters tall.
He looked through the information and found Arroyo's personal information. At the end of the last game, he was not in the mood to watch the garbage time game.
He just quietly thought about the next game on the sidelines.
I didn't know Arroyo at all until I saw in the player information that this guy led the Puerto Rico team to defeat the Dream Team 6.
Only then did I remember his few highlights.
Is the Nets going all out?
He saw the opponent's approach at the first time,
Give up defense and take a full-scale offensive posture,
Pat Riley was not afraid, he was confident that the players on the field could deal with the opponent's offense,
Besides, his team still had an 18-point lead,
And on the defensive end, Pat Riley had no idea how the Nets' lineup could compete with the tall and strong Heat.
Just treat it as the helpless move of the opposite coach Frank in despair,
As long as the Heat can hold on for 5 minutes, the Nets will naturally collapse.
He loudly reminded the players on the field:
"Pay attention to their small guys, don't let them shoot three-pointers, control the rebounds and we can win!"
The Heat's starting players were also confused. When Eddie Jones was assigned to defend Arroyo,
He felt bad all over. Are you kidding?
Then he looked at Kidd again, and Carter shut up honestly.
Facing those two players was just asking for trouble.
I was just a role player and didn't have much choice.
I couldn't let O'Neal defend Arroyo. If it was such a scene, it would be a bit cruel to think about it.
The fourth quarter started with the referee's whistle.
Kidd dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Roy.
Roy started to play one-on-one. Arroyo suddenly started and came out from under the basket. Then he ran back and went straight to the basket.
Eddie Jones behind him had never defended a player of this size.
He was exhausted.
Eddie Jones still couldn't keep up with Arroyo's pace despite Arroyo's flexible back-run.
His teammates ran out of opportunities. Roy passed the ball with his back to the ground. The basketball was in Arroyo's hands.
Facing the defensive Mourning, Arroyo easily got under his armpit.
Then he appeared on the other side of the basket and turned over and made a jump shot.
