Chapter 138 Every Master Must Lose?

The Nets attacked again.

Kidd breaks through Jefferson's screen.

Li Lei decisively switched defenses and blocked Kidd immediately.

Kidd passes back to Jefferson.

Jefferson singles Wade.

Wade lowered his center of gravity, tightly blocked Jefferson's breakthrough line, and then went directly to the confrontation.

It was a big-and-small mismatch, but Jefferson found himself unable to hit the advantage.

Although Wade is short, he has a strong defense. There are two 3Ds, Li Lei and Jones, waiting for an opportunity to help defend, and Cato is guarding the basket.

In desperation, Jefferson could only pass again.

Martin catches the ball and rushes in like he's holding a pack of dynamite.

Odom didn't stop.

But Cato held the last line of defense.

Martin was forced to stop.

Li Lei arrived in an instant and cooperated with Cato to press down.

At this time, Martin's weak technique was exposed. He couldn't break the double-team at all, and could only hold the ball and throw iron elbows.

Bang!
The iron elbow hit Li Lei's chest.

Li Lei fell to the ground.

Drip!

foul.

The ball belongs to the Heat.

The Nets failed to attack, but instead paid for a foul.

Li Lei took a long time to get up from the floor.

"This time, it really hurts!"

Who can play inside in the NBA, which one is not a monster?

If ordinary people had suffered this, they probably wouldn't be able to get up tonight.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei ambushed in the bottom corner, got Wade's breakthrough point, and missed the shot.

Bang!

Just that moment, it hasn't slowed down yet.

But the ball bounced far away.

Jones picked up the ball and hit a mid-range jumper.

Swish!
7: 0.

Cato came back, and even the goddess of luck began to favor the Heat.

Jones can pick up the ball standing up.

The Nets attacked again.

Kittles hit a jumper and finally broke the net for the Nets.

7: 2.

But soon, Li Lei made up for his mistakes and made a steady hit with his third attempt from outside the three-point line.

10: 2.

Drip!

Coach Frank called a timeout.

The Nets were suspended.

But the pause did not change the situation.

Li Lei and Jones fired continuously, and the Nets subconsciously expanded their defense.

Wade and Odom saw the opportunity and frequently hit the inside to succeed.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led 28:16 by as much as 12 points.

The game was completely one-sided.

In the first half of the second quarter, Butler, Alston, Haslem, and Grant all played.

Grant, who was ravaged in the first three games, suddenly showed his power. The defensive end continued to protect the basket, and the offensive end also made strong attacks.

So a player's position is very important.

You may be miserable as a starter, but you can shine as a substitute.

Cato's return not only enhanced the strength of the Heat's starting lineup, but also greatly increased the depth of the bench.

During the substitute period, the point difference further widened.

Coach Frank can only be sent in the starting lineup in advance.

The Heat's soldiers came to block them, and they replaced them one by one.

Halftime is over.

54: 34.

The Heat won by 20 points.

Come back at half time.

The Nets still haven't adjusted well, and they can't open the inside line, so they rely on sporadic scoring from the outside line to continue their lives.

Three quarters are over.

78: 52.

The Heat won by 26 points.

The game has lost its suspense.

Come back in the fourth quarter.

Coach Frank is not willing to give up yet.

As a result, Wade scored 4 points in a row as soon as he came up, widening the point difference to 30 points.

Coach Frank shook his head, replaced all the main players, and announced that he would give up this match.

In the end, 103:75.

The Heat slaughtered the Nets and played two away games in a row.

The two teams tied at 2-2.

Interestingly speaking, the Heat and the Nets played four games, and neither of them could hold their home court.

Every master must lose!

The fans joked: "The Heat are going to lose!"

"why?"

"Because they have home court advantage!"

"..."

In this game, the comeback Cato scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. The data is decent, but his role cannot be reflected by the data.

Odom had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

韦德17分4篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽。

李磊14分6篮板2助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Jones had 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.

Butler had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Alstom had 11 points and 5 assists.

A total of six Heat scored in double figures and played very easily.

In contrast to the Nets, Martin and Collins, who performed well in the first three games, were very sluggish.

马丁只得了13分6篮板2盖帽，科林斯6分5篮板。

Kittles had 19 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

Jefferson had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Kidd had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal.

……

The joke about losing every master is a lot of fun, but everyone knows it's a joke.

Before Cato came back, the Heat stole a victory by relying on Li Lei's shocking performance.

After Cato came back, the Heat beat the Nets.

Coupled with the regular season, the record of the two teams is 3 to 1, and the Heat have an absolute advantage.

Fans now feel that the Heat will surely win this round of the playoffs.

"The Heat are obviously stronger!"

Public opinion also began to fall to the Heat, and the Nets were criticized as worthless.

The mentality of the Nets players has been greatly affected.

At this time, Kidd was interviewed by the media.

"The last defeat was all my responsibility."

"For Cato's return, I didn't make enough preparations, I underestimated the enemy."

"I failed to control the rhythm on the field and adjust the mentality of my teammates. This is my responsibility."

The reporter then asked: "Jason, G5, are you confident?"

Kidd replied with a smile: "Of course, the host must lose! The next game will be the Heat's home game."

Kidd first made the most popular joke nowadays, and then became a little more serious: "After the failure in the last game, the team has summed up the experience and lessons of failure. We started from scratch to find a way to beat the Heat."

Reporter: "You guys found a way to beat the Heat?"

"Of course!"

Kidd said confidently.

"What is it?"

The reporter asked impatiently.

Kidd shook his head, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I can't tell you this! This is our secret weapon."

I don't know if Kidd's words are true or not.

But a few days later, the entire Nets came to Miami.

When they got off the plane, they talked and laughed, looking very relaxed.

Martin also took the initiative to tell reporters: "We will take the victory from Miami, then win G6 in New Jersey, and reach the Eastern Conference finals for the third consecutive year."

Martin is very confident!
It seems that the Nets have really found a way to deal with the Heat.

Otherwise Martin wouldn't be so excited.

……

At the same time, duels in other groups continued.

Another group in the East.

Pacers vs Pistons.

The Pacers went first and won G78 74:1.

But the Pistons quickly fought back, tying the big score 72:67.

After that, the two teams came to Detroit.

The Pistons won G85 78:3.

The Pacers won Game 83 68:4.

The two teams tied at 2:2.

They are really two terrifying defensive teams. After playing four games, no team can score more than 90 points, and scoring 80 points is as difficult as skyrocketing.

West side:

The Timberwolves beat the Kings, and the two teams are now tied 2:2.

The Lakers played the Spurs, and the Spurs went to two cities first, but the Lakers pulled back two cities, also tied 2:2.

As agreed, the results of the four duels were all tied at 2:2.

In fact, in the second round of the playoffs, they have been eliminated twice, and the remaining eight teams are the best teams in the league. Naturally, the gap in team strength is not as big as in the first round.

A 2:2 draw is also understandable.

The fans and the league are all happy.

The league can earn more income from tickets and live broadcasts, and fans can also watch more exciting and intense games.
