One day later, the G4 game between the Nets and Heat continued in Miami.

Just when everyone thought the Nets would win in one fell swoop and advance with a 4-0 sweep, the tenacious Heat put in a wonderful team performance at home.

They were unwilling to accept the fate of being swept and were determined to do their best to defend their honor at home.

Led by star Jimmy Butler, the Heat showed tenacious fighting spirit and excellent competitive form.

From the beginning of the game, the Heat showed a strong desire to win.

They used quick counterattacks and precise shooting to score continuously, putting the Nets into a passive position. The Nets appear to be a bit slow to get started, with frequent obstacles on the offensive end and full of loopholes on the defensive end.

Although they worked hard to adjust and regain the rhythm of the game, the Heat did not give them many opportunities.

Jimmy Butler, as the leader of the Heat, stepped up at critical moments. Not only did he succeed frequently on the offensive end, he also caused huge trouble for his opponents on the defensive end. His performance inspired the entire Heat team and made them more united to face powerful opponents together.

As the game progressed, the Heat gradually took the initiative on the court. Utilize rich game experience and excellent teamwork to continuously play exciting offense and defense. The Nets seemed a bit lazy on the offensive end and were unable to find an effective response.

Especially in the second quarter, the Heat showed a smooth offense, almost overwhelming the Nets, which showed their strong desire to win and tenacious fighting spirit.

Every pass they make is accurate and every attack is full of threats. As the core of the team, Butler has demonstrated his comprehensive abilities on the offensive end. Sometimes he breaks through the basket to score, sometimes he hits a long shot from the outside. Every time he scores, the Heat's morale is higher.

In addition to Butler, other Heat players also performed well. Use quick passing and movement to constantly create open shooting opportunities.

The Nets seemed a little unprepared under the Heat's offensive pressure and were unable to effectively organize their defense.

The Heat's offense was as smooth as running water, while the Nets were like sand washed away by the torrent, unable to withstand it.

For most of the second quarter, the Heat maintained their lead, tearing apart the Nets' defense time and time again, leaving the Nets helpless.

Looking at the situation on the court, Lu Yong couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Heat are indeed the toughest team in the league. It is rare for them to be able to show such cohesion even when they are trailing 0-3.

Nets players tried to increase physical confrontation and strengthen defense on the court, but the Heat's offense seemed to be magical and could always find a breakthrough.

Whenever the Nets try to launch a counterattack, the Heat can always quickly return to defense and neutralize the opponent's offense.

At the end of the first half, the Heat made a wonderful attack to widen the score gap. After receiving a pass from his teammate under the basket, Butler faced the siege of many Nets players and calmly observed the situation on the court. Then he suddenly turned around and shot a jump shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air. Falling firmly into the basket.

This goal not only expanded the Heat's lead to 7 points, but also made the entire arena boil.

Looking at the eye-catching numbers on the scoreboard, the Heat players high-fived each other in celebration, their faces filled with confidence and joy.

The Nets players knew that their performance in the first half was not ideal and they needed to make adjustments in the second half.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Heat relied on their smooth offense and excellent teamwork to successfully suppress the Nets. Their performance showed their indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious fighting spirit.

During the halftime break, players from both teams returned to the locker room to make tactical adjustments and rest.

The Heat players encouraged each other, knowing that the performance in the first half was just the beginning, and the real competition was still in the second half.

The Nets players seemed a little silent, thinking about how to adjust their tactics and how to deal with the Heat's offense.

In the third quarter of the game, the situation on the field changed somewhat.

The Nets woke up as if from a dream and were no longer suppressed by the Heat as they had been in the first half. Instead, they launched a fierce counterattack.

The players seemed to be completely different people, they were all energetic and full of fighting spirit.

Durant, as the leader of the Nets, took the lead in standing up. Taking advantage of his excellent height and wingspan, he frequently succeeded at the basket. Whether it was a breakthrough layup or a post-up, he gave the Heat's defensive players a headache.

His scoring was like raindrops, causing the Nets' score to rise rapidly.

In addition to Durant, other Nets players also showed strong strength. Mitchell fired frequently from the outside, and his three-pointers were like sharp arrows, penetrating the Heat's defense again and again.

Brunson used his flexible dribbling and breakthrough abilities to constantly attack the Heat's basket.

The Nets' offensive firepower was so fierce that the Heat's defensive players felt powerless.

They tried to adjust their tactics and strengthen their defense, but the Nets players seemed to have found the rhythm of the offense, and every pass and move seemed so smooth and natural.

Under the Nets' fierce offensive, cracks began to appear in the Heat's defense.

They were unable to effectively limit the Nets' scoring and could only watch the score being gradually tied.

The Nets players became more and more courageous as the game went on, and every time they scored, the audience in the stadium boiled over.

When the third quarter was about to end, the Nets finally tied the score.

At this time, they had completely regained their rhythm and confidence. They knew that as long as they maintained this state, they would have a chance to reverse the game.

The Heat players also began to adjust their mentality and tactics. The Nets have launched a fierce counterattack, and they can no longer be suppressed by their opponents like before. They need to find new ways to attack and break down the Nets' defense.

With the referee's whistle, the third quarter ended. The Nets successfully tied the score with their ferocious offensive firepower.

Everyone showed their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding strength, allowing everyone to see the possibility of reversing the game.

Unfortunately, in the final stage of the game, the Heat actually had a rare offensive climax. With excellent cooperation and precise shooting, the score gradually opened up.

As the basketball team struggled to catch up, they gradually lost the rhythm and confidence of the game.

In the end, after four quarters of fierce fighting, the Heat defeated the Nets by a narrow margin and struggled to defend their home honor.

This victory was of great significance to them. It not only changed the series score to 1:3, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being swept, but also allowed them to regain their confidence and fighting spirit.

For the Nets, this defeat is undoubtedly a blow that requires self-examination.

Not only did the team lose the opportunity to sweep their opponents, but they also exposed their own offensive problems during the game. In the face of the Heat's stubborn resistance, it seemed a little helpless and unable to find an effective way to crack it.

In addition, the referee's whistle was obviously biased in favor of the Heat at home in this game, which undoubtedly caused additional trouble for the Nets.

However, for a team aiming to win the championship, losing is not terrible. The important thing is how to learn from the failure, adjust the state, and meet the next challenges.

The Nets need to carefully summarize the lessons learned from this game, identify their own problems and deficiencies, and make improvements. At the same time, players also need to maintain confidence and fighting spirit, believing in their ability to regain their form and win in the next game.

In short, although the fourth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals ended in victory for the Heat, it was of great significance to both teams. It not only changed the big score situation of the series, but also made both teams realize their own strengths and weaknesses.

After the game, Lu Yong and Heat coach Spoelstra met on the edge of the court, and the two shook hands politely.

Lu Yong stood on the field, calm and calm, as if the outcome of this game was not that important to him. He was smiling, his eyes were deep, and he exuded a calm and unhurried temperament.

He stretched out his hand, shook hands with Spoelstra, and said softly: "Congratulations, you played a very good game."

Sibo seemed a little excited. He breathed a long sigh of relief and had a long-lost smile on his face.

He fully understands the importance of this victory to the team, and also understands that this is a key battle for them to save their face and regain their confidence.

He held Lu Yong's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, it was not easy for us. You are very strong, but we did not give up, and we finally fought for this victory."

Although the conversation between the two was brief, it was full of politeness and respect.

The two Asian coaches appreciate each other's talent and coaching ability, and they also know that the outcome of this game does not fully represent the strength gap between the two teams.

Finally, Lu Yong patted Spoelstra on the shoulder and said: "Okay, we will see you in the next game. I wish you good luck and look forward to playing against you again."

Spo responded with a smile: "I also look forward to competing with you again."

Letting go of their hands, the two of them returned to their teams.

Lu Yong still maintained his calm demeanor, as if the defeat in this game did not have a big impact on him.

Spoelstra breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that this victory was of great significance to the team, and it also injected confidence and motivation into their next games.

The victory in this game was undoubtedly a timely rain for the Heat. They avoided the embarrassing situation of being swept and also preserved a glimmer of hope for themselves in the series. (End of chapter)
