Under the leadership of LeBron James, the Heat gradually approached the score.
With only 32.3 seconds left before the end of the first half, Wu Feng broke through with the ball, got rid of Norris Cole's defense and pulled outside the three-point line on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Feng also made a three-pointer with an extremely decisive three-pointer.
The feeling of shooting this ball is very good, so Wu Feng thinks this ball should be able to be scored.
Sure enough, the ball hit steadily, making Wu Feng's blood burn.
There were only 13.9 seconds left in the first half. After Norris Cole dribbled the ball and passed the ball directly to Dwyne Wade.
However, just as Cole passed the ball, a figure passed by him, and the ball was also intercepted by the figure.
After Wu Feng cut the ball, he quickly held the ball and attacked the Heat's half. In order to spend all the remaining time, Wu Feng rushed to the Heat's basket, then made a three-step layup to score the ball.
However, Wu Feng still left the Heat with 1.8 seconds of offensive time, but the Heat did not seize this last offensive opportunity.
With Dwyne Wade's long shot missed, the first half officially ended.
In the first half, the Hawks scored in double digits. Wu Feng played the longest time. He made seven of thirteen shots, scored 18 points, and also sent 8 assists. Josh Smith and Marvin Williams both scored 12 points, and their efficiency was very good.
On the Heat, Dwyne Wade scored the highest score, who scored the highest 19 points in the game and shot very high; James, who broke out in the second quarter, also scored in double digits, scored 13 points, and also sent 6 assists.
The halftime ended quickly, and the second half also began.
In the first two minutes of the third quarter, the Heat relied on active running and fast passes, and scored a 7:2 small **.
Hawks head coach Larry Drew asked for a timeout in time, and the Heat are a strong opponent and cannot tolerate any slackness.
After the timeout, the Hawks put a lot of effort into defense, so the Heat's offensive efficiency was also lower.
In the next few minutes, Wu Feng easily broke through Mario Chalmos again and again. After the breakthrough, he either chose to score himself. Or handed the ball to the open player and returned a 9:4 shock wave of the Heat.
As the Hawks gradually turned the situation around again, the Heat requested a timeout.
Just after the suspension ended, the Heat's boss LeBron James stood up again.
Although James missed the shot outside the three-point line, he caused Marvin Williams to make a defensive foul, making all three free throws.
The Hawks attacked, Wu Feng broke through and passed the ball to Marvin Williams, who made a jump shot from the baseline. However, missed the Heat snatched the defensive rebound.
Mario Chalmos' three-pointer missed, Al Horford took the rebound and handed the ball to Wu Feng in front.
Wu Feng suppressed the rhythm, led the ball through half, and then wandered around the top of the arc. Wu Feng stopped, held the ball in his hands, and hung the ball into the inside.
Josh Smith singled Ronnie Turiaf, and after two moves, he passed the ball back to Wu Feng who ran out of the open position.
Wu Feng, who was no one defending in front of him, looked down at the three-point line, took a deep breath, the ball slid through the sky and fell into the basket, and Wu Feng clenched his fists.
Dwyne Wade faced Wu Feng's defense and made several breakthroughs without success. Mario Chalmos had to come forward to block the gap for him.
However, Wu Feng's reaction was very fast. Although Dwyne Wade used Mario Chalmos' pick-and-roll to pull out the gap, Wu Feng still quickly followed.
Seeing this, Wade quickly passed the ball out.
James received a pass from Wade from outside the three-point line, but he did not have a chance to take action because Marvin Williams was right in front of him.
Time flies quickly, and the Heat's offensive time passes quickly.
In a blink of an eye, they only had eight seconds of attack time left.
But at this time, James still had no chance to take action, because besides Marvin Williams, he seemed to have a look at him.
Although James is very confident about his strength, he is not as confident as he can score by just taking action.
James quickly passed the ball to Bosh at the basket. Bosh's position in receiving the ball was not very good, but there was no time to adjust it for him.
After receiving the ball, Bosh took a decisive move, and one second after he took the attack, the twenty-four seconds of attack also rang out.
Fortunately, the ball was thrown out, but whether it could be entered was another matter.
"Bang", the ball was not very good, and Wu Feng grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The Hawks attacked, Marvin Williams missed a mid-range jump shot, and Chris Bosh grabbed a defensive rebound.
Mario Chalmos broke through with the ball, but was cut off by Cork Hinrich.
Sinrich quickly passed the ball to Wu Feng. Wu Feng did not miss the opportunity and rushed directly to the Heat's basket.
When Mario Chalmos wanted to chase Wu Feng, the Eagles had already completed a beautiful fast break.
Heat coach Eric Spoelstra couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the game on the court.
LeBron James misplaced a single against Cork Hinrich, and used Norris Cole's cover to retreat to the three-point line and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
On the Hawks, Wu Feng made a wonderful pass by Cork Hinrich and made a high jump shot.
Ronnie Turiaf missed a layup, Chris Bosh took the offensive rebound and then scored a tip-in.
Josh Smith singled Ronnie Turiaff on his back, assisting Al Horford to score a back-shot.
Dwyne Wade missed a three-pointer, LeBron James grabbed the offensive rebound, then retreated to the three-point line and made a strong three-pointer. The ball actually made an incredible breakthrough.
LeBron James' shooting percentage in the third quarter increased a lot. He was silent in the first quarter and stood up in the second and third quarters to tell the Hawks and everyone who is the emperor of this team.
The unstoppable LeBron James scored 14 points in the third quarter.
However, in this quarter, the Heat's other attack points were not very good, especially the "Flash" Wade. The hot touch in the first half seemed to not exist now.
Many Hawks fans joked that James took Wade's shooting percentage.
Therefore, although LeBron James is unstoppable in the third quarter, the Heat are still at a disadvantage in the face of the Hawks' multiple blooms.
Only Chris Bosh performed more normally, and the rest of the players' performance was not very good.
91:80. When the third quarter ended, the score on the field suddenly became like this. The Atlanta Hawks led the way, and they entered the last quarter of the game with an 11-point lead.
The fans of the Phillips Arena all had some relaxed expressions on their faces. After all, the home team is now in the lead, and they are still 11 points ahead, so the winner tonight is likely to be the Hawks.
But they also know that a super strong team like the Heat will definitely tie or even overtake the score.
This is also because they did not show any reaction to winning the game, otherwise the home team would lose by then. It would be really a fall from heaven to hell, which would be difficult to accept.
Soon, the final quarter of this first Eastern Conference Finals is about to begin.
There is no big suspense, the lineups on the field of both teams are basically rotating players playing.
Hawks: Josh Smith, Radmanovich, Anthony Morrow, McGrady and Jeff Teague;
Heat: Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, Sean Bathir, Mike Miller and Norris Cole.
Chris Bosh attacked the Hawks' basket and squeezed away Radmanovic to make a layup.
On the Hawks, Jeff Teague assisted McGrady to make a mid-range jump shot.
Norris Cole made a wonderful pass by Joel Anthony for a layup, but unfortunately missed. Mike Miller grabbed the offensive rebound, but did not make a counter-spin, and Radmanovic grabbed the defensive rebound.
On the Hawks, Jeff Teague didn't make a move outside the three-point line, and Josh Smith made a tip-in.
The two sides attacked each other, but the score difference was still above double digits, which made the Heat and the fans who followed them very nervous.
With eight minutes and twelve seconds left in the fourth quarter, the game entered the official timeout.
After the suspension was over, both sides sent their main lineups one after another.
Mario Chalmos made a mistake when he returned to the court. When the ball was sent to him, he seemed to be unattractive, so Wu Feng would not miss this opportunity.
At this time, the Heat players were quickly heading towards the Hawks' half. There was no Heat player in the Heat's half. Such a good opportunity, Wu Feng's opportunity came.
Wu Feng was fast and rushed into the Heat's inside line like a lightning bolt. His strong body suddenly rose into the air, like an eagle flying high, holding the orange basketball with his right hand, and his whole body was like a hard bow in the air.
The fans of the Phillips Arena were excited to watch everything that was about to happen.
"Clang", the loud dunk sounded throughout the stadium.
Heat coach Eric Spoelstra decisively called a timeout. He has always been careful about this game against the Hawks and dared not be careless at all.
He originally wanted to take away a victory at the Hawks' home court, but Eric Spoelstra never expected that the Hawks, who played at home, were in such a good condition, and they had the strong strength of being the best in the East District, which made them a little unbearable.
Larry Drew sat in the coach's seat on the sidelines. Although his face was serious, he felt very relieved. In recent times, the players not only made smooth attacks, but also performed well in defense.
Wu Feng's magical steal made the Hawks score another 7:3*. Now, the score on the court is 105:91, and the Hawks have a 14-point lead.
The game started again, and the three Heat Big Three worked even harder.
Dwyne Wade received the ball in the midfield, and Wu Feng appeared in front of him.
Slowly and rhythmically controlled the ball in his hand, Dwyne Wade kept adjusting his body. He tried to find a chance to break through Wu Feng, but unfortunately Wu Feng did not give him the chance.
Dwyne Wade kept driving the ball, and suddenly he started. He forced himself to rush over from Wu Feng's right. Wu Feng took a step back and quickly moved a step sideways, holding Dwyne Wade with his body. Dwyne Wade had no room to accelerate again, so he could only pass the ball to the outside line.
