However, what coach Larry Brown did not expect was that this timeout would have a negative impact on "Little Emperor" LeBron James.
For most of the third quarter, "Little Emperor" LeBron James' shooting touch was not very good, so LeBron James handed over the team's main attack to teammate "Flash" De Wynn Wade. With the help of "Flash" Dwyane Wade, "Little Emperor" LeBron James finally found his shooting touch, and the Miami Heat also took this opportunity to overtake the score.
However, after this timeout, the touch that "Little Emperor" LeBron James had recovered once again disappeared without a trace.
After the game restarted, "Flash" Dwyane Wade handed the ball to "Little Emperor" LeBron James for a single, but LeBron James didn't even make that simple turn None of his hook shots made it to the basket. In the second offense, "Little Emperor" LeBron James' shot once again hit the edge of the basket. After "Little Emperor" LeBron James missed two consecutive attacks, the Indiana Pacers successfully overtook the score again.
"Did the timeout just now make LeBron's restored touch become cold again?" "Flash" Dwyane Wade thought, "But, with LeBron's personal ability, I think It should not be affected by this suspension"
In the Miami Heat's next offense, "Flash" Dwyane Wade once again handed the ball to "Little Emperor" LeBron James. This time, although LeBron James still failed to hit the shot, he caused a defensive foul by Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert. LeBron James stepped to the free throw line to take the free throw. His first free throw bounced around the rim three or four times before eventually falling into the net.
At this time, the buzzer in the American Airlines Center sounded, and the Indiana Pacers requested a substitution. Coach Larry Brown replaced Roy Hibbert, who had just fouled, with substitute center Ronny Turiaf. Now just halfway through the third quarter, Roy Hibbert has already committed three fouls. In order to protect Roy Hibbert, coach Larry Brown had to take him off the court to rest.
Assistant referee Derek Stamford handed the ball to "Little Emperor" LeBron James, and LeBron James began to execute his second free throw.
However, "Little Emperor" LeBron James' second free throw missed the basket. Indiana Pacers power forward David West immediately jumped high and beat Miami Heat main center Udonis Hasler. Mu grabbed the defensive rebound over his head.
¡°Quick break!¡± Xu Nuo shouted loudly as he started to rush towards the frontcourt at high speed. David West relaxed his arm, and the ball immediately came to Xu Nuo, who had already rushed to the Miami Heat half. At this moment, Xunuo suddenly heard Danny Granger shouting loudly behind him: "Be careful behind you!"
Xu Nuo knew as soon as he heard that there was a Miami Heat player behind him who wanted to steal the ball in his hand, so Xu Nuo slowed down slightly, stopped suddenly, and immediately jumped past the opponent's defense the moment he saw the Miami Heat player. "Flash" Dwyane Wade could only raise his head and watch Xu Nuo easily score an empty layup.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Coach Larry Brown sighed.
After promising fast break points, the visiting team Indiana Pacers already led the home team Miami Heat by five points at 57:52. "Flash" Dwyane Wade snorted coldly from his nostrils, took the ball from small forward Sean Battier and began to attack.
"Just wait and see, kid!" Dwyane Wade said bitterly in his heart, "I will give you back three times the ball I just shot! I must give you some color to see!" "
After Dwyane Wade dribbled to the frontcourt, he faced Indiana Pacers shooting guard DeMar DeRozan with the ball. However, after the defensive rotation, it was replaced by Commitment to defend Dwyane Wade. Xunuo bent down and faced Dwyane Wade cautiously.
"If I were Dwyane Wade, I would definitely retaliate to the opponent for losing the ball just now. It seems that Dwyane Wade will use his full strength again!" Xu Nuo said carefully as he ground. Facing Dwyane Wade, he thought to himself.
However, at this moment, Dwyane Wade suddenly started!
Even though the reaction speed was as fast as promised, when he realized that Dwyane Wade was about to start a breakthrough, Dwyane Wade had alreadyIt's almost half a body away. Promise reacts quickly, moves quickly, and blocks his body between Dwyane Wade and the basket before Dwyane Wade makes his next move. However, at this time, Dwyane Wade suddenly stopped and then raised the ball in his hand high.
"Don't even think about shooting!" Xu Nuo said in his heart, and immediately jumped high to block Dwyane Wade's shot. However, Dwyane Wade suddenly collected the ball, then leaned his body against Xu Nuo, and at the same time threw the ball in his hand toward the basket. When Dwyane Wade was about to commit a foul, Xu Nuo tried to avoid Dwyane Wade with his body, but failed. The referee Mike Callahan ruthlessly blew the whistle in his mouth. whistle.
At the same time as the whistle sounded, "Flash" Dwyane Wade raised his head and looked at the ball rolling in the air. The ball hit the backboard with a "dong" sound, then rebounded and went into the basket with a "swipe" sound!
"Beautiful!" The Miami Heat bench and the auditorium around the stadium erupted at the same time. The fans cheered and celebrated Dwyane Wade's three-pointer. Xu Nuo put his hands on his hips and looked coldly at "Flash" Dwyane Wade who was celebrating with "Little Emperor" LeBron James by high-fiving him, and snorted from his nostrils.
"What!" Xu Nuo said in Chinese, so that Xu Nuo could ensure that the people around him could not understand what he said, including the three law enforcement referees.
Dwyane Wade went to the free throw line and made a steady extra free throw, and the Indiana Pacers' lead returned from five points to two points.
"The opponent does not have the main power forward Chris Bosh, and the performance of another superstar LeBron James is not very good, but we are only two points ahead of Miami. Will our team's game always be this difficult? ?" In the coaching bench of the Indiana Pacers, the team's chief assistant coach Brian Shaw asked the team's head coach Larry Brown.
Coach Larry Brown frowned slightly.
"The reason why the Miami Heat can cling to the score is because of Dwyane Wade's outstanding performance." Coach Larry Brown said, "If we can combine Dwyane Wade with other Miami Heat players It would be much better if the connection between the two countries is cut off. And these are the main purposes of our request for the suspension just now."
"But the players don't seem to be able to implement your tactical arrangements." Coach Brian Shaw said.
"Do you really think so?" Coach Larry Brown said with a smile.
Coach Brian Shaw looked at Coach Larry Brown with a puzzled expression on his face.
In the following third quarter, the Indiana Pacers' leading scorer Danny Granger's active performance on the offensive end forced "Little Emperor" LeBron James to allocate some energy to help Sean Bach. Till helped defend Danny Granger, and David West got another chance to attack. "Little Emperor" LeBron James devotes most of his energy to defense, which naturally makes it more difficult to make a difference on the offensive end.
At the same time, the four defenders Xu Nuo, O.J. Mayo, DeMar DeRozan and Paul George launched a car battle against "Flash" Dwyane Wade, constantly consuming Dwyane Wade. Wade's physical strength. As a result, no matter how strong "Flash" Dwyane Wade's personal abilities are, he cannot always maintain such a high offensive efficiency. Towards the end of the third quarter, Dwyane Wade's shooting percentage had dropped significantly, and the Indiana Pacers took the opportunity to expand the team's lead again.
¡°The boys did a great job!¡± Coach Brian Shaw, the chief assistant coach of the Indiana Pacers, said happily.
Coach Larry Brown sat in the Indiana Pacers coaching bench with a smile on his face.
At the end of the third quarter, the visiting team Indiana Pacers once again turned away, leading the home team Miami Heat by four points 70:66 entering the final quarter of the game. The Miami Heat players returned to the bench looking frustrated, including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
"Xu Nuo, how do you feel about your physical strength now?" Coach Larry Brown asked Xu Nuo.
¡°It¡¯s no problem to play another game!¡± Xu Nuo replied confidently.
"Very well, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, I want you to stay on the court!" Coach Larry Brown said.
"Oh?" Xu Nuo frowned and looked at coach Larry Brown in front of him with some confusion.
