Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Heat serve.

Hiero dribbled the ball across half court and signaled Leonard to come out for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Hiero replaced the defender in front of him with Mitchell Robinson.

Robinson wasn't afraid of him either, and immediately started taking out the ball after changing defense.

Hiro lowered his center of gravity, suddenly changed direction, threw away Robinson in front of him and headed inside.

Rushing to the free throw line, Hiero made an emergency jump shot. While scoring two points, he also caused a defensive foul by Oubre.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle and Hiero scored 2+1.

Oubre held his head in his hands, as if questioning why he had to reach out just now.

On the free throw line, Shiroga made a free throw.

40:43, the score difference is still not big.

Lu Yong took the opportunity to call a timeout and waved his hand to make substitutions.

The lineup on the field becomes: Brunson, Dunro, Durant, Oubre, Cousins.

The Nets attacked and Brunson passed the half court with the ball.

Durant dropped directly to the corner and reached for the ball.

Crowder, who was guarding him, lowered his center of gravity and kept making small movements with his hands, trying to disrupt Durant's rhythm.

Brunson hit the ground and passed the ball.

After Durant catches the ball, he holds the ball high in front of him while leaning back to feel the defensive position behind him.

Crowder subconsciously wanted to use force to unbalance Durant's feet.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted his strength, Durant completed a quick turn against his body.

Adu's pace was big and fast, and he passed Claude cleanly.

Claude wanted to turn around and pursue the defense, but Adu had already accelerated and rushed inside, leaving only his back.

After rushing into the penalty area, Durant took off on one foot.

Twisting his body in the air to avoid Olynyk's block, he pulled the stick backhand for a layup and then scored.

42: 43.

Looking back, Hiero still started the pick-and-roll, trying to use the screen to name Cousins.

But Dunro, who was guarding him, chose to bypass the screen.

Hiro saw the right opportunity and took advantage of Dun Luo to quickly take a three-pointer while going around the screen.

This ball opportunity was taken well, but the intensity was a bit weak.

"boom!"

The ball hit the edge of the basket and bounced high.

Oubre collected the rebound and passed the ball to Brunson.

The Nets took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.

During the fast break, Brunson used his deft dribbling to pass the two Heat players.

After attracting the defensive attention, a lateral ball was passed to Durant who followed up on the right wing.

Adu caught the ball in one step inside the three-point line, and took three steps to reach the basket in an instant.

Jones took off from the side and launched a powerful and heavy one-handed chop!

"boom!"

44:43, the score difference is over!

"Durant has played really well during this period. His desire to attack has obviously increased, and he has shouldered the important responsibilities that a leader should shoulder!" Yang Yi explained.

"That's right, even though Durant usually looks like it has nothing to do with him, when he gets serious, his offensive momentum is completely different!" Wang Meng added.

On the Heat bench, Butler could no longer sit still.

He turned to look at Spoelstra, waiting for the coach's call.

Spoelstra called a timeout with a gloomy face, and gritted his teeth facing the bench: "Jimmy, change your clothes and get ready to go on stage. Kendrick, you come too."

Upon hearing this, Nunn and Butler immediately took off their rest clothes and prepared to appear after a timeout.

The timeout ended, and Butler, Nunn, and Adebayor came back together.

The Nets used Porzingis to replace Oubre, who played a lot of time.

The game starts again.

Heat offense.

Nunn broke through and reached the Nets penalty area as soon as he came up.

Cousins ​​and Porzingis shrank to the basket at the same time, preparing to protect the basket.

In the crowd, Nunn distributed the ball to Butler on the outside.

Butler caught the ball and shook it, took a long step and shot a two-point jumper.

The basketball drew a wonderful arc.

'Shuh! '

Hollow into the network!

44: 45.

The Heat competed tenaciously with the Nets.

The Nets attack, Brunson lobs the ball to Cousins ​​inside.

The moment Cousins ​​received the ball, he immediately turned to the center and got rid of Leonard's defense in one step.

Cousins ​​then easily hit the board with one hand holding the ball.

Cousins ​​spent no effort during the entire process and used his footwork skills to the extreme.

46: 45.

The Nets overtook the score again!

"nice shot!"

On the sidelines of the Nets bench, everyone stood up and cheered in celebration.

On the Heat side, Spoelstra frowned and his expression became increasingly difficult to look at.

The game continues.

The Heat's attack failed, and the Nets took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Brunson advanced with the ball, came to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to Durant who followed up on the left wing.

Durant caught the ball to attract the defensive attention, then hit the ground and passed the ball to Porzingis.

Boshen caught the ball and took off, facing Adebayor who came to defend him with a powerful dunk from behind!

"boom!"

48: 45!

The score difference comes to 3 points!
Not only was this goal scored, it also caused Adebayor to foul.

Extra penalty hit, 49:45!

The Nets hit a 5-0 spurt and instantly established a 4-point lead!
Seeing that the game was about to be defeated by the Nets, someone on the Heat side finally stood up.

Butler!
He first gave Durant a big shot on the defensive end, and then on the offensive end, facing Cousins' defense, he forced a pull-up jumper to help the Heat stop the bleeding.

In the very next round, Butler stole Brunson on the defensive end and then counterattacked with a fast break layup!

Score 4 points in a row!
Under Butler's leadership, the Heat quickly evened the point difference.

The two sides returned to the same starting line again.

In the next round, the Nets attack.

Durant held the ball from the outside, faced Butler's defense, and took one step directly to shoot a jumper.

The basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air.

"Shua!" Hollow enters the net!

At 51:49, the Nets overtook the score again!
Heat offense.

Nunn missed a three-point attempt from the outside, and Cousins ​​collected the rebound.

The Nets took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack. Adu advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Porzingis who followed up on the left wing.

Boshen caught the ball and made a fake pass, throwing it to Brunson who was ambushing in the right corner.

The latter caught the ball without any hesitation, raised the knife with his hand and dropped it, sealing his throat with three points and one sword!
"Shh!"

The ball hit the net!

54: 49!

The score difference instantly came to 5 points!
Spoelstra was forced to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the Heat attack.

Butler holds the ball from the outside. Facing Durant's defense, he is determined to regain the field.

One move, an emergency stop, a pull-up jump shot, all done in one go.

Jimmy did not disappoint the Heat fans, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

With a "swish" sound, it entered the network!

54: 52.

The Heat narrowed the point difference to 2 points!
Butler's goal also gave everyone in the Heat hope, and they began to defend desperately.

Durant held the ball from the outside and faced Butler and made a pull-up jumper.

However, this time his shot missed and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Adebayor grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Nunn.

Nunn didn't hesitate after receiving the ball and went straight for a layup.

54: 54!

The two teams were tied again.

In the next round, Cousins ​​hit hard in the low post.

His eyes were firm and his pace was steady, all the way to the basket.

It was Leonard who was guarding him, but Cousins' unpredictable dribbling rhythm made Leonard elusive.

Suddenly, Cousins ​​turned around, passed Leonard, and instantly got an open opportunity.

He jumped up without hesitation in the penalty area and dunked the ball hard into the basket. The whole stadium was boiling in an instant!
56: 54.

Commentator Yang Yi shouted excitedly: "It's so beautiful! Cousins' singles ability is so strong! He completely controlled the rhythm of the game, leaving Leonard helpless."

Wang Meng was also full of praise: "Yes, Cousins' dribbling skills and finishing ability at the basket are top-notch. He is almost unstoppable in this position. Leonard has tried his best, but Cousins ​​is still relaxed Scoring, that’s his strength!”

The words of the two commentators were full of praise for Cousins, and the fans cheered and went crazy for Cousins' wonderful performance.

Cousins ​​stood in the middle of the field, enjoying the cheers of this moment.

He used his strength to prove that he is still one of the best centers in the league. Even if he falls from the altar, he is not something that Leonard can compete with.

"The Heat are in trouble. The Nets have been very offensive during this period. I don't know if Butler can lead the team to withstand it."

At this time, Hiro, who was resting on the bench, frowned.

He tried his best to lead the team to maintain the advantage.

It was originally thought that after Nunn and Butler returned, the initiative would be firmly controlled by the Heat.

But now that the Nets have overtaken the score, Hiro has a very bad feeling in his heart and is inexplicably upset.

The Heat attacked, Nunn broke through at full speed after picking and rolling, and quickly broke through the Nets' defense.

However, at the moment he was about to score a layup, Porzingis suddenly came out from behind him, jumped up, and slapped the ball hard away from the court.

"Good shot!" cheers came from the audience.

Porzingis raised his brows triumphantly and smiled provocatively at Nunn.

Nunn was not irritated by him. He just glanced at him lightly, then turned and returned to his own half.

The game continued, with both sides going back and forth, launching a fierce attack and defense.

The Heat relied on Butler's strong singles to gradually stabilize the situation, while the Nets relied on multiple offenses to complete the lead in the score.

Two minutes later, the scores were tied again.

The atmosphere in the audience reached a climax, and everyone held their breath nervously, waiting for the performances of the two teams.

Brunson dribbled to the frontcourt. Facing the Heat's tight defense, he did not choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the ball to an open teammate.

After Durant received the ball, he jumped up and shot decisively. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
"In! In!" Warm cheers erupted from the audience.

The Heat players fell into silence. Adu always stood up and gave them a fatal blow at critical moments tonight. This feeling is not very pleasant.

When the Heat attacked, Nunn showed his excellent ball-handling skills, flexibly dribbling through the Nets' defense, and then passed a pass to Adebayor.

Adebayor did not hesitate to receive the ball, turned around and threw, the ball drew an arc in the air and hit the net!

Looking back, Porzingis did not show weakness. He found a gap in the Heat's defense. After a quick breakthrough, he hit the board with a high throw against the defense.

In the next few minutes, the score became tense.

Until the last minute of the second quarter, the score difference between the two teams remained at one round.

Hiro, who had rested for a few minutes, returned to play.

The Nets replaced Durant and Brunson with Mitchell and Rose.

Heat offense.

Hiero used the screen to break into the basket and scored a backhand layup.

65: 65.

However, before everyone in the Heat had time to be happy, the Nets quickly counterattacked with a baseline ball.

Rose received the pass and attacked the opponent's inside with all his strength.

Behind him, Nunn was chasing after him desperately.

But Rose started first and quickly, and dunked easily during the fast break.

67: 65.

The Nets overtook again.

The Heat attacked, and Butler missed a mid-range jumper. The rebound was picked off by Porzingis and passed to Rose.

In the last 24 seconds, Rose held the ball for the final attack of the quarter.

Facing Nunn's defense, Rose continuously dribbled and swayed from his hips, successfully disrupting Nunn's defensive rhythm.

After being out of position, Nunn wanted to return to his position, but as soon as his front foot moved half a step, Rose caught the flaw and accelerated the breakthrough to easily complete the pass.

Before Butler on the weak side could help defend, Rose decisively shot a three-pointer from the top of the key!
The basketball left his fingertips and drew a rainbow in the sky.

"Shh!"

A sword through the heart!
The attack time has just run out!

70: 65!

At the end of the half, the Nets became the leading side and returned to the locker room with a 5-point advantage.

As the referee's whistle sounded and the halftime bell echoed in every corner of the arena, the fierce battle between the Nets and the Heat temporarily came to an end.

The Nets hold a slim five-point lead, but there's more to this game than simple numbers.

"The Nets' performance today was not as dazzling as the first game of the series," commentator Yang Yi analyzed in the live broadcast room, "but they still relied on their deep strength and experience to gradually stabilize their position. The Heat showed Their tenacity exceeded people's expectations. They took the lead in the first quarter and caught the Nets off guard."

"This is the charm of the basketball game." Wang Meng sighed, "You never know what will happen in the next second. The Heat's performance in the first quarter was indeed outstanding, but the Nets are the stronger side after all, and they have a richer season. Post-game experience and a better roster. When they get serious, the Heat are really hard to resist."

Fans are abuzz on social media.

Some praised the Heat's fighting spirit today: "The Heat were really bloody today. Their performance in the first quarter was amazing. They didn't look like a team that was at a disadvantage in the series."

Some also expressed concerns about the Nets: "What happened to the Nets today? Are they underestimating their opponent? This cannot continue. The Heat are not easy to mess with."

The discussion among the fans became more intense, and they even began to analyze the tactical trends of the two teams in the second half: "I think the Nets should continue to strengthen their offense and defense inside. The Heat's inside strength is relatively weak. The Heat need to find a way to break through the Nets' defense. Method, you can’t always rely on outside shooting.”

Some also began to predict the outcome of the game: "If the Heat can continue to maintain the intensity of the first quarter, they have a chance to win this game. But if the Nets regain their form, then the Heat will be in danger." (End of this chapter) )
