Chapter 383 Expedition
The trajectory of history is surprisingly similar.

Heat fans recalled the situation when the Heat reached the finals for the first time five years ago. The same expedition to the West, the same was hit by the Mavericks who swept the league at that time, and the finals fell behind 0-2. .At that time, after returning to Miami, Wade, the soul of the Heat team, stood up and became God from the third game, 42, 36, 43, 36, and averaged 39.25 points per game in the four games. Mavericks.

Now playing against the powerful Timberwolves, they are also behind 0 to 2. What the fans think about is whether someone will stand up in the crisis this time and save the Heat.

Basketball experts analyzed the second game, and the Heat clearly had hope of winning. Even in the last minute, they still had a chance to tie the score.However, consecutive three-point jumpers missed and they handed over the victory. The biggest problem facing the Heat at present is that they obviously have the two strongest wing breakups in the league, but they do not have correspondingly configured long-range turrets.

Then there are three games in Miami, and the Timberwolves coaching staff is confident that they will close the series within these three games.The worst result, that is, only win the next game, that is also able to win the match point.

What Thibodeau was most dissatisfied with in the first two games of the Timberwolves was Afflalo's defense of Wade.Wade is fast and full of explosive power. Afflalo can entangle with Kobe, but he has nothing to do with Wade's overbearing and unreasonable breakthrough.The simple thing is that Wade does not have Kobe's terrifying mid-range shooting ability. When he breaks through to the basket, Jordan will wipe his ass, so Wade's efficiency is not very high.

The third game between the two sides will be held on June 6.

The Timberwolves came to Miami two days earlier to familiarize themselves with the venue. This city is one of the few places in the United States that supports James. Looking around, it is full of red, as if it is going to be a festival.Where the team bus passed by, Zheng Ke saw the finals banners flying everywhere, as well as huge posters of the Heat team.

Minnesota players were on the bus discussing playing in Miami, and after two Finals games, the team's few inexperienced rookies weren't as simple as they were at first.

At this time, Love began to brag about his performance when he first entered the finals, "You know, I was a rookie who had just entered the league at the time, but I was facing the Turkish All-Star Turkog with a contract worth tens of millions. Lu. But I did not back down in the face of difficulties. When I came all the way from the west, I encountered more terrifying enemies-Aldridge, Gasol, Yao Ming. This honed my tenacity, and finally Showed his prowess in the game against the Magic."

Taj Gibson, Marcus Thornton and Pekovic, who came later, all had no championship experience. They were envious of Love's ability to win the championship ring. Thinking that they could reach the top with the Timberwolves immediately, they wanted Extremely excited, this is the greatest way to affirm a basketball player.

Heat fans won a championship in 06. This is the first time they have entered the finals, and now it is the second time they have entered the finals, just like the Timberwolves.The basketball atmosphere in the whole city is still relatively strong, and some die-hard fans still come to disturb the dreams of Timberwolves players in a very "traditional" way.

In the evening, the players come out.

There are still many Chinese fans in Miami. When Zheng Ke played, he received a lot of cheers. Of course, he also encountered the biggest boos. Cheers and boos are intertwined, which sounds very weird.

Heat starting lineup, Chalmers, Wade, James, Haslem and Bosh, this is a similar starting lineup to Game [-], Spoelstra sees Haslem in Game [-] The effect of partner Bosh is higher than that of Joel Anthony's starter, and he has made decisive adjustments.The Timberwolves' starting lineup has not changed much, Billups, Afflalo, Zheng Ke, Love and Jordan.

Billups made it clear to Lowry that if they both stay in the Timberwolves next year, he is willing to give up the starting position.

He is not young anymore, and his physical strength has declined sharply in all aspects. It is unrealistic to start every night and compete with the league's unique point guards. Using the status of a substitute to shorten the playing time can improve efficiency and help the team.Billups is optimistic about the competitiveness of the Timberwolves in the next ten years, thinking that if he dies in the Timberwolves, he does not know how many championships he can win with Zheng Ke.

As O'Neal said, with Jordan, my grandma can also win the championship.

Zheng Ke gives people such strong confidence.So when the Timberwolves players came on the field, they were full of momentum, and the away disadvantage did not scare them. The bandit spirit in their bones emerged again, thinking that they would have a good time at the American Airlines Center.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams were evenly matched.

The Heat are very resolute in double-teaming Zheng Ke, using top-level double-team lineups like Wade and James.Both of them are supermen with perverted physical fitness. Double-teaming Zheng Ke greatly reduced the chances of Zheng Ke's shot. Zheng Ke began to change his strategy and focus on organizing the team's offense. Love, Afflalo and Bilu were set up on the outside. Puth's three turrets, three people shared the shot in the first quarter, and the Timberwolves led 27 to 24 by 3 points.

In the second quarter, James didn't rest, and the Timberwolves had a bad hand feeling. Several excited substitute shots kept hitting the iron, and they only succeeded once in the 5-minute sports game.No way, the touch is the most amazing thing. Although the Timberwolves are not a team that completely relies on shooting, they still focus on the outside line.

Zheng Ke replaced early and failed to make a few shots. The Heat overtook the Timberwolves.

After that, in the second half of the second quarter, the Timberwolves felt warmer. Zheng Ke also broke through to the inside and got several free throw opportunities, all of which were booed by the home fans.

21.8 seconds before halftime, Wade launched an attack from the top of the arc. With Bosh's pick-and-roll, he rushed to the basket. Jordan jumped up to make up the defense. Wade kicked his legs on the ground and exploded. With a "clang" sound, he completed a dunk dunk with great visual impact.

Little Jordan became the background, his face was ugly.

At this moment, the audience cheered The Flash's name. Wade clenched his fists and roared under the basket. Obviously, there was a smoldering fire in his heart, and he wanted to vent a long time ago.

Since then, Zheng Ke missed a three-point jumper in the last attack. The Timberwolves trailed the Heat by 46 points 53 to 7 at halftime, and their morale was greatly reduced.

Thibodeau asked the Timberwolves to play inside. When the hand feels bad, they can use other methods to score. The Heat's weak inside defense is not only for the offense of the inside, but also for the offense of outside players entering the inside.So Thibodeau drew a lot of tactical lines, arranged a reasonable air cut or breakthrough tactical plan for the Timberwolves, and prepared to dig hard inside at the beginning of the second half.

The Heat's morale was strong, and they attacked fiercely at the beginning of the second half.

James and Wade hit three-pointers one after another from the outside, and the Heat further expanded their lead.Under Thibodeau's arrangement, the Timberwolves began to break through to the inside. Zheng Ke and Afflalo were the main attackers in this inside breakthrough.

It's a pity that today the Heat team was extremely brave amidst the cheers from the home fans. Bosh grabbed ten rebounds not long after the third quarter. The Super Dragon King averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Zheng Ke did not rest after the start of the second half. He played the entire third quarter, but he did not make much progress. His score was rising, but the team was lagging behind.

By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves were 68 points behind the Heat 78 to 10.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Zheng Ke broke out.First, he hit a three-pointer from the outside, then received a pass from Afflalo, and made a drift jumper with one step.James caused Zheng Ke to foul and made two free throws in response.Facing James from the outside, Zheng Ke directly hit a jumper and hit an 8-2 spurt by himself, helping the Timberwolves trail only 66 points behind 80-4 at the beginning of the final quarter.

Spoelstra was taken aback. He had just finished an interview with an ESPN reporter when the Heat suddenly lost much of their lead, scaring him to the point of requesting a timeout.

The home fans were very disappointed, and there was some shadow in their hearts. The Timberwolves' offense is so perverted, is it going to be reversed again?
