In the third quarter, they changed sides and fought again. The two sides were still in the lineup before the opening, and the Heat started a counterattack under the leadership of Wade.

First, Wade made an emergency stop and made a mid-range hit. After switching over, the Heat are still strictly defending Duke. Wade is even more close to Duke, making it very difficult for him to catch the ball.

Seeing Wade who was fighting hand to hand with him, Duke felt uncomfortable for a while. He could say that he was omnipotent, but Wade still pestered him all the time, and this energy became more and more intense.

The most frightening thing is how the opponent can support the scene on the offensive end under high-intensity defense.

"The strength is completely suppressed, but I don't believe you can play four quarters in such a high-intensity state." Duke felt very aggrieved.

In the end, after Duke's shot was shot under Wade's interference, Beasley took the rebound and scored two points in one go.

Immediately afterwards, Wade accelerated to the basket again, and his signature lost step drifted past Korver for a layup.

A wave of 2-6 was played in less than 0 minutes, forcing D'Antoni to call a timeout.

The approaching score also made everyone in the Knicks dare not be careless. D'Antoni arranged tactics in a loud voice:

"We need to play tactical coordination, focusing on Randolph, he can't defend, Yi, I need you to provide off-ball screens for Korver and Sean, and open up for them, if It's up to you to switch defenses, Duke, and it's time to show your passing ability."

D'Antoni saw Duke shift the focus of his offense to the other two on the perimeter with Wade's tight defense.

Ah Lian did not expect that he would have such a heavy responsibility in the first regular game, and he seemed a little excited for a while.

"Calm down, you won't do this kind of thing less in the future." Seeing Ah Lian so excited, Duke elbowed him.

......

Timeout back, Knicks' offensive bout.

Duke is still holding the ball at the top of the arc, because of Wade's oppressive defense, at this time he is holding Wade with his back to prevent him from stealing the ball.

Korver and Marion also took action at this time, one of them ran towards the right 45-degree angle, and the other slipped the bottom line to the left bottom corner.

Ah Lian understood, and a high-quality screen blocked Beasley who was chasing Marion. Beasley was caught off guard and slammed into Ah Lian's arms. The huge impact made Ah Lian take a step back.

"This guy is really strong." Ah Lian gasped.

But in just a short while, Marion had already run out of the open space. At this time, Duke's pass was delivered in time. Marion held his breath and opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Randolph glanced at it, moved two steps forward, and raised his hand symbolically.

"Shh!"

One hit!

The Knicks broke the scoring drought.

Seeing that the tactics were achieved, D'Antoni waved his fist excitedly.

It was in stark contrast to Shiba next door, who was blushing and stretching his hips.

The Heat's offensive center of gravity has also changed. After Marion marked Wade, a person who had disappeared for a long time stood up.

Randolph!

This is why Spoelstra has always tolerated Randolph's inaction on the defensive end. His deterrence on the low post offensive end is too strong.

I saw him receiving the pass in the low post, directly relying on his own tonnage and strength to go to the three-second zone against the United Arab Emirates, and then hit a layup with a rebound.

Looking at Ah Lian with a bitter face, Duke reckoned that Ah Lian's chest would turn blue if he was beaten like this.

After switching over, the Knicks scored another goal by running.

After making an off-ball screen for Korver, Randolph finally followed the defense, and the UAE's opponent was replaced by Mario Chalmers. After the pass, he didn't even look at him and shot directly from the middle distance.

The basketball bounced a few times on the hoop and bounced into it.

Poor Mario Chalmers has been ravaged again.

Here the Heat responded again. When Duke stepped forward to double-team Randolph, Wade fought back strongly with his personal offense.

For a while, the Knicks had nothing to do with the Heat's two major offensive points.

And when there were less than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the situation on the court had already fallen into a feverish stage.

With Wade's successful layup against the United Arab Emirates, the Knicks only led the Heat by 98 point 97-1.

The Knicks immediately requested a timeout.

D'Antoni looked stern and looked at Duke with expectant eyes:

"Duke, now is the critical time. I need you to strengthen your personal offense. Whether it's shooting from the outside or breaking through to the inside to cause damage, you must not let them overtake!"

"In addition, on the offensive end, Dwyane cannot be easily succeeded, even if it is a foul, he cannot easily score goals."

Duke nodded heavily when he heard the words. Wade should be almost exhausted at this point in time, and the oppression he gave himself on the defensive end must not be as good as before.

In other words, the opportunity I have been waiting for has come.

Timeout back, Knicks sideline kick.

The ball was sent to Duke at the top of the arc, at this time Wade had given up pressing forward to defend.

He has played from the third quarter to the present, and the big package on both ends of the offense and defense consumes a lot of his physical strength, so he has to make a choice in a certain aspect.

Seeing Duke began to dribble rhythmically, the experienced man immediately knew that Duke was going to take the opportunity to rob, and thought to himself:

"Young people really don't talk about martial arts. If you have the ability to single out when I am in good shape."

Just as Wade was mentally active, Duke activated.

A small change of direction broke through from his right side, but naturally Wade would not be fooled so easily.

Just when he was about to move sideways to block the opponent's path, he suddenly felt his whole body hit a wall, his eyes went dark, and a voice echoed in his mind:

"Oops, it's a pick-and-roll."

That's right, this wall is exactly the United Arab Emirates who just brought up the pick-and-roll.

With the cover of the United Arab Emirates, Duke threw off Wade and went directly to Randolph.

But Randolph's defense was useless in his eyes, and just an acceleration left him behind.

"Dunk!"

A simple one-handed dunk ended his long scoring drought.

"Give me the ball!"

Mario Chalmers just had the ball over half court when Wade's voice was heard in his ear.

If the boss speaks, don't dare to refuse!

The basketball came into Wade's hands obediently, and Wade didn't make any extra moves. With an acceleration, he barely passed Marion, and directly killed him.

Seeing that Wade was about to complete the attack, David Lee slapped Wade's hand hard, destroying his layup.

"drop!"

"Knicks No. 42, thug foul, Heat No. 3, two free throws."

Wade gave David Lee a vicious glance, then turned around and walked to the free throw line, not intending to find fault with David Lee, he has long been accustomed to this kind of defensive action, and this is also the defensive treatment that superstars will receive.

The referee did not upgrade this foul either. After all, it is still 08, the era of high physical confrontation, and it is still far from the future era of rampant body whistle.

Wade took a deep breath, sweat dripping from his head uncontrollably.

"Shh!"

Two free throws were made, and the point difference was chased to one point.

There are only 2 minutes left, and the most critical moment has come.
