He often makes exaggerated strides, but they are very effective. It is impossible for a player like Joel Anthony, who has no height, to block his hooks. hand.It's a pity that McGee's hook shooting rate is not particularly high.

Curry plays and adds an outside scoring point. Smith and Wade face each other and have advantages in height and strength. Du arranged for Curry and Smith to attack.

Ye Feng is no longer in charge of the main offense. His main task is to defend James and make shots after being out of position.Ye Feng is still the heaviest person on the Clippers. When necessary, the team needs him to act as a "blue collar".

People will not look down on him because of this, and now fans have begun to have a new understanding of the word "leader".A leader doesn't necessarily have to score the highest points in every game, but he does what the team needs him to do most.Of course, Ye Feng's current score is also the most in the Clippers, but it is a little less than in the regular season.

The Heat are full of desire for revenge against the Clippers. They trail behind 0-2 with a big score, and they dare not relax in the slightest.The Heat players have not been idle in the past few days. They train every day and find the feel of shooting. They know that they need to shoot to beat the Clippers.

The Clippers' defense became tighter. McGee and Smith sent big caps one after another. Ye Feng blocked James with his body on the outside, and he missed three shots.After 5 minutes of the game, the Clippers allowed the Heat to score 4 points.In as long as 5 minutes, only Wade made a sports goal in the Big Three of the Heat.With 6 minutes and 48 seconds left in this section, the Heat made Bosh's second shot.

At this time, James swore from his heart that he would spend all his time during the holidays practicing his back. If his teammates didn't cover, he wouldn't be able to get rid of Ye Feng's entanglement at all.However, Ye Feng could protect the basketball with his back, distance himself from him, play singles in the low post, turn around and hit a throw.In this series, Ye Feng has used this method to score points in front of him many times.

Wade continues to be the Heat's first offensive point, and Spoelstra said what he said to James before the game.James scored 4 points in the first quarter.Wade scored 10 points. Smith has advantages in strength and height in singles. Wade also has advantages in agility and speed against Smith, and can free up space for jump shots.

After the first quarter, the Clippers led 26-20.

In the second quarter, the Clippers sent a substitute as usual, and O'Neal sat on the bench again. Yi Jianlian and Gortat partnered on the inside, and Barnes, Thornton, and Kidd on the outside.

Heat sent Dampier, Haslem, Miller, Mayo, Chalmers.

Thornton and Yi Jianlian continued to cooperate in the pick-and-roll, and Haslem was very active in defending the pick-and-roll, keeping up with Thornton and completing his work.Thornton passed the ball outside. Yi Jianlian felt surprisingly good in this game. Cosmos broke out and hit two mid-range shots and a three-pointer. The Clippers extended their advantage to 10 points.

"Magic" Johnson said: "Yi Jianlian seems to be a convulsive player. When he has a bad touch, he only shoots [-]% of his shots. When he finds the touch, he can make consecutive shots. The Heat are very unlucky. Since entering the playoffs, he is still No. [-] Playing like this for the first time, the Clippers brought him in hoping he could play like this, and he did it today."

Van Gundy said: "Yi Jianlian has also played a long time as a starter in the Bucks and Nets. He dares to shoot. I think the Clippers should keep him after this season. It is hard to find big men who can shoot in the league now. .”

Seeing that Mayo alone could not drive the team's offense, the Heat replaced the main force in advance. James made a strong three-pointer when he came on the court, leading the team to start a counterattack.Wade also attacked wildly, hit consecutive jumpers, and scored another 12 points in this section.The Heat also used zone defense against the Clippers. Ye Feng felt cold. He made 4 of 0 shots in this quarter, and the Heat seized the opportunity to counterattack.

The Clippers only led by 49 points 47-2 in the first half.The Heat saw hope.

Ye Feng gradually found his feeling in the third quarter, and Thibodeau arranged for him and Smith to attack the inside line together. At 7 minutes and 56 seconds, Ye Feng received the ball from outside the three-point line, relying on Smith's cover to throw off James and rush into the interior, take off and shoot. Wade and Bosh quickly rushed to block the shot. Wade fouled and Ye Feng lost Balanced with his back to the basket, he tossed the ball with a backhand at the moment he was about to fall to the ground, and the ball almost fell straight into the basket.He scored 2+1 with an incredible goal.The Clippers took a 3-58 lead after scoring 52 points with a penalty shot.

The Clippers fell behind 71 to 73. In this quarter, their outside line was misfired, and they were shooting wildly. The Heat waited for an opportunity to compress the defense to the penalty area, and used the same defensive strategy as the Clippers. The Clippers were forced to shoot. The two teams fought three times. Points, the Clippers players don't feel good today.

James found a sense of shooting in this game. He scored 15 points in the first three quarters and made three three-pointers from the outside.Spoelstra asked the players to take bold shots from the outside. The best way to break the zone defense is to throw the ball in from the outside. If there are too many shots, the Clippers must defend and have a chance to break into the inside.

The score is only two points away, and the commentators are optimistic about the Clippers' comeback in the final quarter, because the Heat have fallen twice in the fourth quarter.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers quickly played a wave of 8-0 and overtook the score 81-74.Ye Feng also made a strong three-pointer after giving his teammate a pick-and-roll from the outside. McGee hit a low-post single and Haslem made a jumper.Thornton, who came off the bench, also performed well, hitting a three-pointer.

With 6 and a half minutes left in this section, Smith dunked in the fast break and scored a beautiful goal. The Clippers still maintained the lead 83 to 78.

Heat coach Spoelstra broke the boat and sent James Jones, who won the title of three-pointer during the All-Star Weekend.This substitution quickly paid off. He hit a three-pointer on the field and made another three-pointer at 3 minutes and 43 seconds before the end of the game. Coupled with the efforts of other players, the Heat tied the score at 85.

During this period of time, the Clippers were completely misfired from the outside line, and missed several shots. Only Smith made a mid-range shot.

Thibodeau asked for a timeout and arranged a double pick-and-roll tactic. In the fourth quarter, James didn't perform much, but Ye Feng couldn't score with his excellent defense.

After the timeout, the two sides each scored a goal and continued to tie.

The Clippers still couldn’t get back the feeling. Ye Feng turned around and missed the shot. James got the backcourt rebound and made a long pass to Wade to launch a counterattack. Wade made a breakthrough layup and caused Smith’s foul. , the Heat led 2-10 with 90 minutes and 87 seconds left in the game.

This is a very critical goal. In this game, the Heat finally found a way to break through the Clippers' zone defense, that is, three-pointers from the outside and a quick counterattack.

After that, the Heat defended Ye Feng more tightly. He relied on the screen to get rid of James.Ye Feng chose to transfer the ball laterally when he was double-teamed. At the critical moment, Smith was shocked by the "butter hand". He missed the ball and was easily intercepted by Mayo. James immediately made a fast break and faced Ye Feng's defense forcibly Successful layup.

25 seconds before the end of the game, Mayo hit another three-pointer under strict defense. The Heat maintained a 93-87 lead. Time was running out. The Clippers hit the frontcourt as soon as possible. Even got it, sealed the victory.

The Clippers' overall shooting percentage was only 42.7%, and the three-pointers were even worse, only 28%. The Heat's defense showed a very high level.

After the win, the Heat players kept a low profile.They have regained hope of winning, but the Clippers are still leading the total score now, and it is too early to say that they are confident in "comeback".

Spoelstra said: "The players worked hard in this game. We played a little passively at the beginning. Fortunately, we made adjustments in time and chased the score back. This is a wonderful game. In the end we played We also need to maintain this offensive feeling, and don’t want to lose the rhythm at critical moments.”

After the game, some experts also admitted that there is no obvious gap in strength between the Clippers and the Heat. It depends on who can seize the opportunity at the critical moment. The first two games were the Clippers, and this time it was the Heat's turn.

James Jones scored two three-pointers in 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, which dealt a heavy blow to the Clippers.While the Heat compressed their defense, the Clippers' outside players had no touch, and it was reasonable to lose. The fourth game was still played at the Heat's home court.
