Chapter 125 The winning streak continues
The halftime break rushed by amid the praises of Wade and O'Brien, and the Spurs and Heat will face off in the second half.
After the Spurs' main force returned, they suddenly became fierce under the control of Radar. First, Boltel crushed Leonard and completed a two-handed dunk. Then Radar assisted Aldridge to hit the basket with one hand.
Frame. The Heat lost their focus. Jimmy Butler took two shots and hit the ball once, and was blocked once by Adelaide. Radar once again seized the opportunity and assisted Mills to hit a three-pointer.
By the way, Mills is a bit wet today. So far, he has made 1 out of 5 three-pointers. Is it because the Spurs' starting shooting guard position is toxic, and whoever is on the field does not perform well?
The Spurs went 0-0 7 times and took the lead in an instant. Some fans at the scene had not yet recovered.
Ah, what happened? I just drank a glass of Coke and overtook me?
Oh my god, what happened in these two minutes?
As long as the radar is on the court, the Spurs have unlimited possibilities. They can be like the Rockets, with a wave of three-pointers that make you unable to parry, or they can be like the Nuggets and Jazz, using tough defense to make it even more difficult for you to score.
.
Seeing this, the Heat quickly changed their lineup, replacing Jae Crowder and Adebayo, who performed well in the second quarter, and replacing Solomon Hill and Olynyk.
The defense of Crowder and Butler caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs' perimeter and mid-range. Once Mills was locked up, Radar on the back line could only fight alone.
Just now, just now, Radar just passed the ball to Mills. It was originally a very good shooting opportunity. Mills had to dribble before taking the shot, which directly led to Crowder stealing it and losing the ball. Crowder lost the ball.
De did not disappoint the Miami fans and hit a layup.
The scores of both sides began to rise alternately. After Mills was restricted, Radar had to increase the number of shots he took so as not to be overtaken by the Heat.
At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led 75-72.
Wade and O'Neal almost kept talking for several days. Wade asked O'Neal: "Who do you think can limit Ray's performance in the current league?"
O'Neal thought for a while and said: "If you look at the guard position alone, there are not many players who can limit Ray's performance. I think LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo,
Players like Anthony Davis who have speed, height, wingspan, and all-round offensive and defensive capabilities will still cause a lot of trouble for Ray."
Wade: "How should we evaluate Ray? He is the sharpest spear in the league today and the sharpest shield on the defensive line. Now let's assume that Ray continues with such excellent performance this season. Do you think he can do this during the season?
What honors did you get?”
O'Neal still thought for a while and said: "O, my baby, the one award I am most certain of is the Best Rookie!"
Wade smiled and said: "Yes, it goes without saying. We all know that. I think Ray has a great chance of winning the Best Defensive Player Award. The defense on the field, the restrictions on players, and more intuitively,
Averaged 5.7 steals per game, fully double the lead of second-placed Simmons."
O'Neal: "Yes, and in terms of points per game this season, Ray is still ranked first, as is the assists list. Judging from the data alone, o my god, MVP is possible."
Wade: "God, no first-year rookie has ever won the regular season MVP. I think Ray is here to break our conventional wisdom."
The two were having a heated conversation when they were interrupted by the referee's whistle, signaling the start of the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, both sides played quite anxiously, and the Spurs were not evenly matched. As long as there were no more than three starting players on the field, the score would be overtaken.
Radar was forced to take a three-minute break by Popovich. The team was led by Adelaide and Murray on the court. Fortunately, Murray performed well at the three-point line, sending 4 points and 2 assists. This efficiency was close to Radar.
With Murray's superb performance and Ade's stability, the Heat just kept clinging to the score.
When there were three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Radar came on the court and assisted Murray to hit a three-pointer from the outside. Then the Heat attacked. Although Dragic was experienced, he was far inferior to Radar in terms of flexibility and speed.
At the critical moment, his legs became weak and he was intercepted by the radar.
Radar: If you are hungry, let’s have a Snickers bar!
I saw Radar riding high and whipping up his whip, but Dragic couldn't catch up, and he sighed when he saw Lei. Butler still managed to keep up with Radar's rhythm, but couldn't withstand Radar's sudden stop and chase for a three-pointer.
The Spurs led 97 to 90, extending the score advantage to 7 points, with only 2 minutes and 48 seconds left.
The Heat attacked again. As long as Dragic's radar came within two meters of him, he immediately gave the ball in his hand to Butler.
Butler is also a key player. Whether it is the Bulls or the Heat, he has contributed to the game. He can barely be called a cold-blooded killer, so his key ball ability is still very strong.
The radar was misplaced to defend Jimmy Butler. Butler wanted to break through the inside because in his field of vision, Adebayor restricted Aldridge, Boltel and Leonard Bai were stuck, and he
As long as he gets inside, these two points are guaranteed.
There was only a radar in front of him. Butler didn't even think about it and started dribbling. Unexpectedly, the moment the basketball just hit the ground, a yellow-skinned arm stretched out and stole the ball from his lower hand.
Butler was very unconvinced and shouted: "You little thief, please leave."
Fortunately, when the radar arrived in the frontcourt, the Heat's Dragic and Crowder were already in position.
The radar controlled the ball and waited for his teammates to get into position. When Adelaide was the last one to run away from the backcourt, the radar moved.
Although the Heat's defensive formation has not yet been set up, Radar rushed to attack, but on the offensive line, Crowder and Butler were still staring at him from left to right.
Radar chose to attack from the right. He was very fast and rushed to the right, causing Jimmy Butler's body center of gravity to shift to the right. Then Radar quickly changed direction and pulled the ball to the left, and his body passed the opponent.
When Claude wanted to make up the defense, he found that the radar that broke into the penalty area single-handedly had already separated himself from him.
Wade and O'Neal on the sidelines are no longer calm. They are both sharp-eyed people, especially Wade, who is very familiar with Radar's footsteps.
O'Neal: "Oh, if I'm not mistaken, Ray just used your wandering step."
Wade nodded and said, "That's right, it's Mizong Bu."
In fact, Wade is still looking forward to Radar using his confusion. In this game, Radar successively used Iverson's change of direction, Kobe's fadeaway, Rose's pull-up, and McGrady's pull-up, but there was no confusion about it.
Trace steps.
But now radar is used, and it is a fast-forward version of the lost track.
Mizong stepped onto the radar under the basket, made a back-up layup, and directly avoided Meyers Leonard's block.
"Thunder's goal has helped the Spurs seal the victory in advance." Wade said on the commentary table. Seeing that his home team, the Heat, was about to face defeat and was defeated by his favorite player, he felt very conflicted.
