Chapter 422 Victory over Heat

The Heat attacked, Jason Williams dribbled the ball forward, still chose to hand the basketball to Wade, and then ran without the ball to open up the offensive space.

Wade received the ball and faced the frame. In this round of offense, he did not intend to rush, and also played a pick-and-roll cooperation with O'Neal.

Wade didn't come by himself this time, but distributed the basketball to O'Neal. After receiving the ball, O'Neal rushed to the basket, his body rushed up, like a truck at full speed, rushed to the basket, and exploded the basket with a bang. The sound sounded, the whole person hung on the basket, dunked with both hands and scored two points.

Thomas saw O'Neill rushing to the inside, and he didn't even have the courage to block it.

8 to 7! !
The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, still forced to break through Jason Williams, but was flanked by Wade's help defense.

At this time, Nash's goal of forcing the score was achieved. He stepped down and dribbled the ball, took a step back, opened the distance with the defender, immediately pulled the ball up, and divided the basketball to the right with both hands.

On the right, outside the 65-degree three-point line, Lagabel caught the ball and without any extra movement, just bent his knees and jumped up, flicked his right wrist, and shot a three-point jumper.

Swish! !

Garabel's touch is good, the three-pointer is not soft, and he hits the basket accurately and goes through the heart.

8 to 10! !
The Heat's offense, seeing the Suns' outside firepower, the Heat can't always rely on the offensive performance of the stars.

Jason Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and saw O'Neal use his thick body to squeeze out the space, and directly hoisted the basketball into the paint.

O'Neal received the ball and wanted to play with his back, but was attacked by Marion and Thomas. O'Neal is not young anymore, so he didn't choose to play hard by himself, but distributed the basketball.

Outside the bottom corner of the left three-point line, James Posey caught the ball and faced the frame without any hesitation.

Bang! !

There was a crisp iron strike.

Posey's open three-pointer missed, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Haslem rushed inside, took off the rebound, and then transferred the basketball to O'Neal.

O'Neal effortlessly dunked the basket easily, made a second attack, and scored the basketball.

10 to 10! !
The offensive firepower of the Suns is very fierce, and the outside touch is very good tonight. Nash gave the ball to Diaw. Facing Posey's defense, Diaw also made a three-pointer, and hit the three-pointer steadily.

10 to 13! !
The Suns rained three-pointers from the perimeter and took the lead in breaking the Heat's defense, leaving them in a situation where they lost sight of one another.

If the Heat continue to shrink the defense, it is estimated that they will be directly killed by the Suns' three-pointer.

Next, the Heat's offense also had problems. Wade took a three-pointer that he was not good at, but wanted to respond, tit for tat?
Unexpectedly, he still overestimated his shooting ability, and he missed his three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, Jason Williams singled out Nash, using his speed, reached the three-point line, took a step from the free throw line, pulled the ball up, and made a two-point jumper with an emergency stop, but still failed to score.

Wade can only turn on the breakthrough mode again, use a sharp breakthrough, and get to the basket to score points.

It's just that it's too difficult for him to score, and his offensive efficiency is not high, so he can't support it alone.

O'Neal was restricted from receiving the ball, and the offensive situation was also difficult to open.

When the Heat need three-point firepower to open up the offensive space.

Haslem couldn't even make a precise two-pointer before.

However, Posey's mid-range shooting touch was not on the line, and he began to break through to the inside, further compressing the Heat's inside offensive space.

The head coach of the Heat, Pat Riley, could only wave his hand and replace Antoine Walker and Kapono, and replace Haslem and Posey.

Since he couldn't prevent the Suns' offensive firepower, he sent two three-point shooters to support them and fight the Suns' offensive firepower. I have to say that Riley has a lot of courage.

However, what Riley didn't expect was that the Heat had a three-pointer.

Kapono's fixed-point three-pointers are very precise. Wall loves to shoot three-pointers. As his physical fitness declines, his mid-range shooting skills have also been developed.

As soon as the two entered the court, they each scored a three-pointer, giving the Suns a blow.

It's just that the Suns don't care about their own defense at all, and they are not good at defense. Instead, they speed up their tempo and attack wildly.

Walker's three-pointer is good, but with his weight gain, his ability to move is not fast. He originally played a small forward, but he can only play a power forward. Marion rushed up, and he couldn't keep up with Marion's speed at all. .

Kapono is a white pitcher with relatively average physical talent and speed.

The two forwards and O'Neal on the inside have no speed, and the Heat's defense is instantly torn apart by the speed of the Suns.

As long as the Suns can rush up, they can almost form a situation of playing more and playing less.

The Suns, who were able to rush up, felt very precise. When they shot a three-pointer, the Heat couldn't find the north at all.

After the first quarter, the Suns' 7-second running and bombing was shining, and they used the offensive offensive like wind and rain to defeat the Heat. They beat the Heat to a shock wave of 39 to 25. In just one quarter, they took the lead The Heat scored 14 points and played an eye-popping scene.

In the second quarter of the game, D'Antoni replaced Nash, Lagabel and Marion, and carried out a substantial rotation. House, Lin Bai, and Jones went into battle.

On the Heat side, Gary Payton and Mourning were also replaced.

The game started in the second quarter, and the Heat had the ball to attack first.

Payton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, directly chose to break through House, hit the three-point line, took a step to the free throw line, pulled the ball up, and made a two-point mid-range jumper.

Swish! !

Payton is one of the representative players who are not old. Before joining the Lakers in the past two years, he averaged 20 points per game, as easy as drinking water.

Although he is 37 years old now, his physical fitness has declined a lot, and he has lost his speed and explosive power, but his passing skills are getting more and more bewitching, and his mid-range shots are getting more and more sophisticated.

House's defense is full of flaws in front of Payton, the defender. With enough physical strength, it is easy to break through House's defense.

The Suns attacked, and House dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, using his own speed, targeting Payton's weakness in lateral movement, and reached the three-point line.

After attracting Wade's help defense, he immediately pulled the ball and jumped up to separate the basketball from the outside.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right, Lin Bai caught the ball and faced the frame without any extra movements.

Swish! !

Lin Bai's three-pointer shot was as smooth as flowing water, the basketball hit the bull's-eye with precision, and the three-pointer was scored.

Looking back, Wade catches the ball and breaks through Lin Bai directly.

Like lightning, he hit the inside line, penetrated the entire defense line of the Suns, jumped up from the basket, dunked with one hand, smashed the basketball into the basket heavily, and scored two points.

Next, the Suns' offense was still successful. Thomas and House played a pick-and-roll cooperation. In the horn area, Thomas made a two-pointer and steadily hit the basket.

In the second quarter, the Suns' offensive firepower continued to be quite good, and their shooting touch was still online. They continued to press down on the Heat and beat their opponents with a score of 33 to 25.

The run-in of the Heat is still not good, especially in the away game, the offense is not smooth, and the strong defensive strength has not been shown, and they are directly beaten by the Suns without temper.

50 to 70! !
At the end of the first half of the game, the Suns played an offensive offensive of all soldiers, with full offensive firepower, leading the Heat by 20 points, and entered the locker room to rest.

On the commentary stage, Barkley saw the score of two points and called it incredible. He thought that the Heat's championship-level strength could suppress the offensive firepower of the Suns. Unexpectedly, the Heat faced the full-fire Suns. , There is no power to parry.

Back in the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The third quarter started, and the Heat began to counterattack. Wade still broke through sharply, went to the basket to score points, and his mid-range shots gradually became more accurate. The three-point shot was accurate, but the breakthrough and mid-range shots alone were beaten by the Suns' defense. If it was paper, it was easily torn to pieces.

As long as O'Neal has the ball in his hand, the basket will be subject to his wanton actions. The low-post singles attack in the penalty area is unstoppable.

Fortunately, the Heat's outside firepower has never been opened.

Faced with the shrinking defense of the Suns, the Heat's outside line frequently missed, unable to give Wade and O'Neal too much offensive firepower support.

In the third quarter, the Heat only scored 21 points due to lack of outside firepower, and the offensive efficiency was hard to say.

Fortunately, the Heat found their own rhythm on defense. As the Suns' outside feel declined, they continued to hit the iron. The offensive firepower was directly misfired, and only scored 17 points.

After the first three quarters, the Suns still lead the Heat by 16 points, a clear lead.

In the fourth quarter, Wade and O'Neal were not playing. While ensuring his own performance, Pat Riley also learned the rotation tactics of the Spurs, making sure that O'Neal does not suffer from injuries as the primary goal.

After all, the Heat put all their bargaining chips on O'Neal. It is impossible to overdraw O'Neal's health for an ordinary regular season, just for one game, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to recover the game.

In this quarter of the game, the two sides played calmly, and the Suns also showed their tacit understanding and did not go all out to kill. After all, the Suns are also suffering from injuries and cannot afford to be injured. It is worth taking the risk with the main players.

22 to 22! !
The two sides played the last quarter and played a tie.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Miami Heat 111 to 93, raising their winning streak to 9 games.
