¡°The two games the Miami Heat lost at home were basically lost in the last quarter, and the main reason for this was because LeBron; James and Dwyane; Wade played three consecutive quarters. , so that in the last quarter of the game, the physical decline led to poor performance. Therefore, in this game, Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra decided to give LeBron James and Dwyane Well; Wade needs more rest time to avoid making the same mistake again"
At the beginning of the second quarter, the game commentator Reggie Miller in Conseco Arena said this.
In the previous two games, Miami Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra, in order to win the game, has been using the team's two superstars "Little Emperor" LeBron James and "Lightning" to win the game. Dwyane Wade stayed on the court and played almost the entire game. However, in this game, both the "Little Emperor" LeBron and James, and the "Flash" Dwyane and Wade sat on the bench at the beginning of the second quarter.
Coach Eric Spoelstra naturally did this to allow LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to conserve their energy and prepare for subsequent games. However, compared with the Indiana Pacers' bench, the Miami Heat's bench was far worse than the Indiana Pacers' bench. As a result, the Miami Heat were overtaken by the Indiana Pacers shortly after the start of the second quarter.
"It seems that Coach Eric Spoelstra still needs to find ways to strengthen the offensive power of the Miami Heat's bench." Reggie Miller said.
In fact, Coach Eric Spoelstra doesn¡¯t want to do this. But after LeBron, James, Dwyane and Wade left the court, the Miami Heat simply did not have a stable scoring point. With the current lineup of the Miami Heat, it is impossible to strengthen the offensive power of the bench lineup. Although there are a group of veterans such as Sean Battier and Mike Miller sitting on the bench, the offensive firepower they can contribute to the team is too little.
"The Miami Heat should make a few real trades to strengthen the team's bench depth and rely on LeBron; James and Dwyane; Wade's two superstars' personal performance, it is impossible to win the NBA championship. Champion." Reggie Miller said.
On the court, Sean Battier missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the Indiana Pacers substituted power forward Taylor; Hansbrough grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Indiana Pacers immediately launched a quick counterattack. Although Xu Nuo was not on the court at this time, O.J. Mayo received Darren; Collison's pass made a layup, which also completed this fast break. At 32:27, the Indiana Pacers at home were already five points ahead of the Miami Heat on the road.
LeBron; James and Dwyane Wade did not rest off the court for a long time. About four minutes into the second quarter, the two superstars returned to the court at the same time. In order to win the team, coach Eric Spoelstra did not dare to let LeBron James and Dwyane Wade sit off the court for too long. If Eric Spoelstra The coach waited until halfway through the second quarter before letting LeBron James and Dwyane Wade play, so the Miami Heat were already two digits behind the Indiana Pacers.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade achieved immediate results after coming on the court. Since Indiana Pacers coach Larry Brown did not make substitution adjustments, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Germany will have the upper hand in front of its opponents. So "Little Emperor" LeBron; James and "Flash" Dwyane; Wade began to take turns attacking the Indiana Pacers' basket. With the efforts of these two superstars, the Miami Heat gradually chased the score. Come up.
"Don't Coach Larry Brown ask for a timeout at this time?" Xu Nuo frowned and looked at Larry, who was standing in front of the coach's bench; Coach Brown, now that the team has been tied by the Miami Heat, it's best It is better to ask for a pause and adjust.
However, Coach Larry Brown did not request a timeout at the first time. O.J. Mayo missed a mid-range shot. After getting the ball, the Miami Heat launched a quick counterattack again. "Little Emperor" LeBron James connected with "The Flash" "Dwyane Wade's alley-oop pass and dunk scored, helping the Miami Heat take the lead again. As a result, Coach Larry Brown had to ask for a timeout. If the game continues like this, it is estimated that the Indiana Pacers will fall further and further behind.
During the timeout, Larry; Coach Brown replaced the backup small forward Rudy Fernandez with the team's top scorer Danny Granger, and at the same time started to deal with "Little Emperor" LeBron; James and "Flash" Dwyane ;Wade implements double-team defense. To crack the Indiana walk?The team's double-team defense, LeBron, James, Dwyane, and Wade all began to pay attention to passing. However, the other players of the Miami Heat did not feel very good and could not convert the passes of LeBron, James, Dwyane, and Wade into assists. The Indiana Pacers took this opportunity to overtake the score again.
"It seems like we still have to use our individual abilities to hit their basket." Dwyane Wade said to LeBron James.
LeBron James didn¡¯t say anything, but spit out the braces in his mouth, looking very helpless.
¡°I don¡¯t know why Eric hasn¡¯t made substitution adjustments yet.¡± Dwyane Wade continued.
"Maybe we really should change a head coach." LeBron James said these words coldly, put the braces back into his mouth, and began to participate in the team's offense.
Miami Heat substitute point guard Norris; Cole dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to "Flash" Dwyane standing outside the three-point line; Wade, immediately o.j. Mayo and Darren; Corey Two Indiana Pacers stood in front of Dwyane Wade. Dwyane Wade passed the ball back to Norris Cole, but Darren Collison returned to defense in time and once again blocked Norris Cole and the basket.
"What a great defense!" Dwyane Wade thought in his mind.
Norris Cole had no chance to attack with the ball, so he had to hand the ball to "Little Emperor" LeBron James. However, when LeBron James received the ball, Danny Granger and Taylor Hansbrough also immediately blocked LeBron James and the basket. LeBron James turned around and forced a break through the defense of Danny Granger and Taylor Hansbrough. Then with a slight flick of his wrist, the ball came to Sean Battier outside the three-point line.
Although Shane Battier's condition is not as good as before, his ability to seize opportunities is still there. Sean Battier shot from outside the three-point line. The ball drew a high arc in the air and hit the net with a "swipe" sound!
"As expected of Sean Battier!" Xu Nuo sighed while sitting on the bench. Before entering the NBA, Xu Nuo, as a fan of the Houston Rockets, had done something to Sean Battier. I was impressed by the accurate three-pointer, and now I promise to see Sean and Battier's long outside three-pointer live, and I can't help but sigh.
Promise made his comeback only about seven minutes into the second quarter. At this time, the Indiana Pacers still led the Miami Heat by one point, 42:41. However, shortly after Xu Nuo came on the court, Xu Nuo assisted Danny; Granger hit a long outside three-pointer to help the Indiana Pacers expand their lead. After the promised assist, Coach Larry Brown turned to his assistant coach and asked: "What is the promised data now?"
"There were five assists, but only two points." Assistant coach Jim Boylen replied.
"Only two points?" Coach Larry Brown frowned and said, "It seems like Promise doesn't have much impact on the Miami Heat's inside line. Just passing the ball can't solve all the problems!"
After being reminded by coach Larry Brown, Xu Nuo strengthened his personal breakthrough and attacked the Miami Heat's inside line. Under the repeated attacks, Xu Nuo got at least four free throw opportunities. As a result, at the end of the first half, the promised personal data turned into seven points and six assists.
Xu Nuo glanced up at the scoreboard above the court and couldn't help but smile when he saw that the Indiana Pacers still led the Miami Heat by five points at 52:47. "With the current situation, it is entirely possible for us to win tonight's game and eliminate the Miami Heat!" Xu Nuo said to Danny Granger.
"Although we have the lead, we must not be careless." Danny Granger said, "You have to know that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have a strong impact. , they will definitely launch a stronger attack in the second half of the game!"
¡°No matter what, we will definitely win in the end!¡± Xu Nuo said.
Danny Granger nodded.
At the other end of the court, the Miami Heat players lowered their heads and walked towards the players' locker room. Although the team was only five points behind the opponent and the point difference was not very large, the team's performance in the first half of the game could not be said to be very good. LeBron James looked at Coach Eric Spoelstra walking in front of him with cold eyes, and began to think about how to force Coach Eric Spoelstra to resign.
