As the referee on duty for this game, Joe Crawford, blew the whistle, the second half of the game officially began!
Xu Nuo took the ball from DeMar DeRozan and started dribbling forward. Miami Heat main point guard Mario Chalmers bent down and stared at the promise with wide eyes. Danny Granger, the Indiana Pacers' top scorer, used center Roy Hibbert to block the screen and get rid of the defense and came to the three-point line to catch the ball. Although Sean Battier quickly moved in front of Danny Granger when Danny Granger received the ball, Danny Granger still made a long shot from the outside three-pointer!
"Danny Granger hit an outside three-pointer at the beginning of the second half. It looks like his shooting touch is quite hot!" said the on-site commentator in the American Airlines Center Arena.
"Little Emperor" LeBron James did not let Mario Chalmers, who was the point guard, take the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. "The difference is sixteen points!" LeBron James thought in his mind.
Since he promised to be responsible for guarding Mario Chalmers, Danny Granger mentioned the high position to guard LeBron James and David West. Instead, he became entangled with Shane Battier. "Little Emperor" LeBron James faced Danny Granger, and with just one dribble, he shot directly from outside the three-point line. The ball first hit the front of the basket, then hit the backboard, and then flew out.
"Damn it, it's just a little bit close!" LeBron James cursed in a low voice.
David West gently pushed Shane Battier away and kept the defensive rebound firmly in his arms. "Counterattack!" Xunuo shouted loudly as he started to rush forward.
However, David West was intercepted by "Flash" Dwyane Wade when passing the ball, and Dwyane Wade assisted LeBron James with a dunk, barely narrowing the point difference.
"But the point difference is still 14 points. If we only rely on sneak attacks after steals to score, how long will it take for the Miami Heat to catch up" the on-site commentator said.
Although the Miami Heat quickly scored two points through the cooperation between Dwyane, Wade, LeBron and James, the ball was still in the hands of the Indiana Pacers. Promise broke through and scored, center Roy; Hibbert faced Miami Heat center Udonis after receiving Promise's pass; Haslem scored a defensive layup, and the point difference returned to 16 points.
"If the two teams fight for a long time like this, the Indiana Pacers will have more advantages. After all, the Indiana Pacers are younger than the Miami Heat and have more physical strength and impact." The on-site commentator said this.
As the on-site commentator said, after several rounds of offense and defense, the home team Miami Heat not only failed to narrow the point difference, but were led by the Indiana Pacers by as much as 18 points, forcing Miami Heat coach Eric; Coach Spoelstra had to call for a timeout. "It seems that it is entirely possible for us to expand our lead to more than twenty points." Danny Granger said with a smile.
Xu Nuo, who was walking next to Danny Granger, nodded slowly when he heard Danny Granger's words.
"Guys, now we just have to give it a try!" During the timeout, Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra said to his disciples, "If we lose this game game, then we have to say goodbye to this season. Because of this, even if we are now nearly twenty points behind our opponents, we should not give up this game! Our game is not over yet, we still have to continue fighting Get down!"
Although Coach Erik Spoelstra is only a "puppet coach" in the minds of many Miami Heat players, Coach Erik Spoelstra's encouragement is still effective. It has a certain effect. After the game restarted, "Little Emperor" LeBron James broke through and dunked once, and passed the ball once, leading the Miami Heat to chase five points in a row.
"It seems that the Miami Heat can only rely on LeBron now; James is playing alone" Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
However, just as Xu Nuo was thinking this, "Flash" Dwyane Wade hit a mid-range jumper, narrowing the point difference once again. The Indiana Pacers were already leading by nearly twenty points, but now they only lead the Miami Heat by eleven points.
Xu Nuo glanced at Larry, who was sitting on the edge of the court; Coach Brown saw Larry; Coach Brown had no intention of calling a timeout. "Okay." Xu Nuo said to himself in his heart, "Then let us solve the problem ourselves!"
Xu Jiutian Literature!
?"Roy Hibbert's shot helped the Indiana Pacers stabilize the situation and allowed the Indiana Pacers to continue to maintain a double-digit lead!" the on-site commentator said, "Even though the Miami Heat have No matter how hard I try, I still can¡¯t narrow the point difference to less than ten points!¡±
¡°It seems like we should hit the ball inside!¡± Xu Nuo thought in his mind.
In the next offense, "Little Emperor" LeBron James used his breakthrough to kill the Indiana Pacers inside, causing David West to commit a defensive foul. LeBron stood on the free throw line; James only made one of two free throws, and the Miami Heat continued to trail the Indiana Pacers by twelve points.
"It seems that LeBron James is really tired. For most of the game, whether it is offense, defense or passing, it is entirely up to LeBron James to do it alone. This is not good for LeBron James." Physical strength is a big drain." Coach Larry Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, thought to himself as he looked at LeBron James on the court.
On the court, he promised to hand the ball to the power forward David who was raised to the high position for support; West himself began to roam back and forth outside the three-point line, disturbing the Miami Heat's defense. Danny Granger ran around in the penalty area before barely getting rid of Sean Battier's defense and took the ball from David West. Immediately afterwards, Danny Granger also used a breakthrough to kill the Miami Heat inside, causing Udonis and Haslem to commit another defensive foul. Udonis and Haslem stood frozen on the spot, looking at referee Joe Crawford with a blank look on his face.
"Has Udonis already committed four fouls?" Coach Eric Spoelstra turned to the assistant coach next to him and asked. After getting a positive answer, coach Eric Spoers replaced Udonis Haslem with backup center Joel Anthony. And Danny Granger went to the free throw line and made two free throws. The Indiana Pacers led the Miami Heat by 14 points 64:50.
"The point difference is still more than ten points, and there is not much time left in the game. It is getting more and more difficult for the Miami Heat to catch up with the score." The on-site commentator said.
On the offensive end, Sean Battier received a pass from "Little Emperor" LeBron James and missed a long three-point shot from the outside. The Indiana Pacers immediately launched a quick counterattack after getting the ball. Promise assisted DeMar DeRozan in the fast break and scored a dunk. The Indiana Pacers continued to expand their lead, forcing Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra to request a timeout again.
After coach Eric Spoelstra requested a timeout, the Indiana Pacers bench was already in jubilation, as if they had won the NBA championship. "Calm down, guys!" Coach Larry Brown shouted, "The game is not over yet, and now is not the time for us to celebrate!"
Coach Larry Brown¡¯s two words made the substitute players calm down. Coach Larry Brown picked up the tactical board and began to highlight some of the problems that the players had in the game one by one. As for how to solve these problems, Coach Larry Brown prefers that the players find the answers themselves.
During this timeout, coach Larry Brown began to rotate players. O.J. Mayo and Taylor Hansbrough appeared at the same time, replacing DeMar DeRozan and center Roy Hibbert respectively. When Xu promised that O.J. Mayo was about to play, he thought that Coach Larry Brown was going to replace him. However, Coach Larry Brown did not do so. Promise walks onto the court and prepares to start defense.
The Miami Heat's offense not only failed to improve after this timeout, but also became less efficient. Although the two superstars of "Little Emperor" LeBron; James and "Flash" Dwyane and Wade have been struggling to maintain, the Miami Heat still trailed the Indiana Pacers 58:72 at the end of the third quarter. The team scored fourteen points. When referee Joe Crawford blew the whistle to end the third quarter, "Little Emperor" LeBron James lowered his head and returned to the Miami Heat bench without saying a word.
"If the Miami Heat continue to play like this without any improvement, then the next quarter of the game will be the last quarter of the season for the Miami Heat!" said the game commentator in the American Airlines Center Arena. .
