Chapter 278 Halftime Lead
In the second quarter of the game, D'Antoni still retained three main starters when the Suns took the lead. Lin Bai and Jacobson got the chance to play.

Stan Van Gundy also maintains three starters, Wade, O'Neal, Haslem still play, and Russell Butler and Kenyon Dooling play.

The Suns had the ball first. Nash organized the frontcourt and directly changed direction with a cross step and went inside. Wade was very fast and followed Nash's footsteps closely.

At this moment, Nash's ball-handling skills were brought into play to the fullest. He entered the penalty area and was surrounded.

There are a lot of people inside, Nash turned around, but didn't find a suitable shot, suddenly slapped, passed a back kick, and the basketball hit the floor and flew out of the perimeter.

At 30 degrees to the right, Lin Bai used a reverse run to get rid of Kenyon Dulling's defense. When he got the ball, he didn't make any extra moves. When he caught the ball, he bent his knees slightly and jumped up lightly. His body bloomed in the air, very It was a stretch, and the basketball was pushed away from the fingertips, drawing a full moon arc in the air.

Swish! !

There was a crisp netting sound.

The white net flowers splashed, and the three-pointer hit the net with a knife, and there was a burst of white spray.

25 to 43! !
At the beginning of the game, the offensive firepower of the Suns was still strong. Lin Bai made a beautiful three-pointer and gave the Heat a blow.

The offensive and defensive transition, Wade dribbled to the frontcourt, O'Neal pulled to a high position, and played a pick-and-roll with Wade.

Wade was directly flanked by Jacobson and Nash. However, with the cover of O'Neal's huge body, Wade successfully entered the inside. Right, a second pinch on Wade at the basket.

Wade didn't make a strong move. Marion and Stoudemire's physical fitness is top-notch, and they are tall and long. He can't get cheap for a forced layup.

Wade jumps up and divides the basketball to the left, and Haslem catches the ball and shoots a jumper directly.

Swish! !

The basketball hit the bull's-eye with precision and the two-point jump shot was successful.

27 to 43! !
Haslem, who found the mid-range shot, immediately told Marion with his mid-range shot that if I go short, I will be hit head-on. Don't underestimate his offensive threat.

Turning around, Marion accepted Shi’s pass, singled out Haslem in the low post on the left, raised the ball over the top, and made a mid-range shot. confrontation.

Marion was not afraid at all. After dribbling the ball past Haslem, he immediately pulled the ball and shot it. Unfortunately, the basketball was on the basket, and after half a circle, it still bounced back.

O'Neal took off the board strongly, and instead of protecting the ball on the spot, he dribbled a step, made another long pass, found Wade who was going down fast, and dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt with his long legs.

Wade was flat in front of his eyes, without pausing for a moment, and immediately rushed to the inside. He jumped up from the basket, his body in the air was very elegant, and he was about to smash the basketball into the basket with his right hand. Suddenly, his right hand in the air was replaced by his left hand. , Pour the basketball into the net!
On the commentary stage, Barkley had disbelief on his face, and said loudly: "Wade's dunk is too gorgeous, and the time spent in the air is also very strong, especially the combination of speed and technology. He really deserves to be "The Flash". With his speed and physique, he has the potential to become a star.

Now that the technology is also developed, the position of superstar is beckoning to him. "

Kenny Smith nodded and said with a smile: "In addition to Wade's personal talent, he has another advantage in becoming a superstar, that is O'Neal's escort ability!

In that offensive attack just now, O'Neal's assists were amazing. Who would have thought that a center could actually dribble and pass assists. O'Neal did it. Wade played beside him, and he would grow faster and become More powerful! "

The Suns attacked. Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Nash continued to distribute the ball to Marion, who was making an empty cut layup. He jumped up from the basket, trying to lift the basketball with one hand and shoot. However, a figure on the side also jumped up at the same time, and there was a clear snap, and Hassler Mu's big hand slapped the basketball accurately, and the basketball flew directly.

Marion still underestimated Haslem's defensive skills, thinking that no matter how he played in the first quarter, the offense would be easy in the second quarter. Unexpectedly, Haslem directly showed his defensive teeth and beat Marion. Confused!

what happened

I am there?

Wade and Nash pounced on the basketball. With the speed of light and flint, Wade grabbed the basketball and immediately launched a fast break.

Although Nash and Lin Bai worked together to stop Wade's speed, Wade did not rush to attack. After O'Neal settled down, he immediately played a pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

Wade took advantage of the opportunity to send the basketball to the inside, and O'Neal caught the ball and rushed up. No one stopped O'Neal in the penalty area, and there was a loud bang.

O'Neal hung on the hoop and slammed the basketball into the hoop, causing the entire hoop to tilt and sway.

29 to 43! !
The joint attack of Wade and O'Neal is very incomprehensible. The Sun's internal strength is weak. At this moment, it reflects the penetrating three-pointer.

As the Heat's hand feels warmer and the inside offensive firepower is stably output with the ball, the Heat's pursuit is very powerful, slowly approaching the score, and the offense is flourishing.

However, the offensive firepower of the Suns was somewhat misfired. Marion was in a sluggish state. He failed to beat Haslem consecutively, and played 6 of 1 inefficiently.

Nash's offense was also desperately blocked by Wade, and he missed consecutive shots.

Fortunately, Stoudemire stood up, and after the pick-and-roll with Nash, he showed a strong mid-range shooting ability and full-fledged lethality. He made 5 of 4 shots and scored 9 points in a single quarter, stabilizing the field. situation.

On the outside, Lin Bai made two precise three-pointers, which also provided a lot of offensive support.

The Heat seemed to want to take advantage of the situation to chase, and directly replaced Eddie Jones on the field, replacing Kenyon During.

D'Antoni also wanted to keep the lead, switching Richardson and Joe Johnson back on.

In the last 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Heat's three-pointer opened the situation.

Wade dribbles upfield and plays a pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

O'Neal was close to Stoudemire, and Wade was also flanked by Richardson and Nash.

Wade jumps to pass the ball to the left beyond the three-point line.

Eddie Jones caught the ball, raised the ball, tapped it in the sky, moved a step sideways, without any hesitation, directly drew the bow and shot an arrow, opened his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball is like a missile in the sky. It hits the basket precisely and enters the net hollow, overflowing with pure white flowers.

Eddie Jones has a soft touch and has a good three-pointer ability. He hit two consecutive three-pointers and opened up the Heat's outside offensive firepower.

However, as the starting five of the Suns returned to the court, with Richardson's three-pointer and Joe Johnson's individual singles, they succeeded in consecutive offenses and paid back.

The Suns slowly regained the tempo of the game and the advantage on the court.

At the end of the second quarter, the Miami Heat's inside offensive shooting rate was extremely high, almost no missed shots, and the outside offensive firepower picked up, and more blossomed. They scored a score of 30 to 27 and recovered 3 points.

After halftime, the Phoenix Suns led the Miami Heat by 67 points 55-12 at home and entered the locker room to rest.
