Super Role Player

The Heat chose to speed up, targeting the 76ers' bulky inside combination.

However, the opening effect was not good. The Heat's quick counterattack and offense could not be stopped by the 76ers, but the Heat's offense by the 76ers could not be stopped either. Pau Gasol showed a rare performance when facing the Heat's short inside man. His dominance in the paint, constantly beating LeBron James in the paint, and scoring consecutive goals seemed to be a sure shot of James.

James was also depressed. In the first four games against Anxi, he was beaten continuously by Anxi. In this game, Pau Gasol took advantage of his height advantage and was beaten continuously inside.

In the first eight minutes of the first quarter, the two teams tied at 18:18, and Pau Gasol scored 8 points.

Anxi's performance in this game was a bit quiet. After changing to no ball, Wade followed him and showed no intention of relaxing.

In 8 minutes, Anxi only got one three-point shot and one mid-range shot opportunity. Of the two shot opportunities, he made a three-point shot but missed the mid-range shot, so he scored 3 points on 1 of 2 shots.

However, in the second half of the first quarter, the 76ers and Heat came on the bench. Considering Pau Gasol's important role in the interior, Brett Brown chose to keep Gasol on the court and then replaced him with Jamison. Asik further strengthened the team's offensive firepower, and then replaced Anxi with James Anderson, allowing Anxi, who had no obvious role on the field in this game, to rest.

The Heat used Greg Oden for the first time in the playoffs. Oden joined the Heat and only played a few times in the regular season. This was his first appearance in the playoffs.

David Fizdale's idea of ​​using Greg Oden is also obvious. In the Heat's small lineup, interior frame protection is still very important.

Chris Bosh finally got a chance to play. He came on to replace Wade, and the Heat continued to maintain a two-giant combination on the court.

It seems that Brett Brown's change was very wise. He let Anxi, who was heavily guarded by the Heat, take a rest, and allowed Pau Gasol, who performed well, to continue playing and continue his performance in the first half of the first quarter.

But wisdom is only theoretical.

As soon as Anxi left the field, the situation on the field changed drastically.

Without Anxi on the outside, the Heat's outside defensive pressure was greatly reduced, so they began to put heavy defense forces inside. Pau Gasol suddenly found that it was difficult for him to connect the ball.

The game only lasted two and a half minutes, and the Heat went on a 9-0 run.

The score directly became 27:18.

In just 2 and a half minutes, the Heat directly defeated the 76ers through their quick counterattack and offense.

And when Brett Brown reacted and replaced Anxi again, it was already too late.

In the last minute and a half of the first quarter, the game ended with the Heat's quick counterattack. Anxi contributed a three-pointer in the remaining minute and a half of the first quarter, but this three-pointer was also 76 The only remaining points in the first quarter.

In the end, the first quarter ended with the Heat 31:21, leading the 76ers by 10 points in the first quarter.

The score in the first quarter was surprising, but what was even more surprising was that in the next three quarters of the game, the Heat still completely took the initiative on the court, and the 76ers did not get even the slightest chance.

From the beginning of the game, the Heat took the lead, and until the end of the game, the Heat still maintained the lead.

From beginning to end, the Heat, who were playing on the road and were no longer optimistic, led the game. The 76ers launched several counterattacks in the second half of the game and recovered some points, but the effect was not great. He didn't get many opportunities in the game. He could only catch the ball after running without the ball. This caused Anxi to find his touch and create his own opportunities.

But in this way, Anxi's scoring efficiency is extremely low.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, Anxi had to force the ball to attack, and used pick-and-roll cooperation to get into the inside and score tough goals, but this was of no avail. After all, compared to the Heat's fast attack, the 76ers' scoring was ultimately a little less efficient.

In this way, to everyone's surprise, the Heat completed a counterattack at the home court of the 76ers, trailing 1:3, and defeated the 76ers 103:85, with an 18-point advantage.

The 76ers fans in the stadium looked in disbelief. As early as when the 76ers led the Heat 3:1, no one thought that there would be any suspense in this series. The 76ers who returned to their home court would definitely win with a victory. At the end of this series, the Heat's change of formation suddenly led to a victory in a key battle, bringing the total score to 2:3.

Although the 76ers still have a chance to win the series and their total score is still ahead, losing this game means that the 76ers have lost their best chance to advance.

Because the 76ers will go to Miami's away game next. Although the 76ers have won two playoff games in the Heat's away game, this time, the Heat are obviously different from the Heat in the previous two games. The Heat in this game have changed. After the formation, the Heat were unable to cope with the 76ers.

At the most critical moment of the playoffs, Pat Riley played his role as a magician. Brett Brown was obviously still inexperienced. Faced with the Heat's sudden change of formation, he had nothing to do, even if he had already It is expected that the Heat will use quick counterattacks and quick attacks to deal with the 76ers.

For the Heat, winning this game means that they can return to their home court, take advantage of their home court advantage to win another game, and then play a tiebreaker with the 76ers with a score of 3:3, and use their changed formations. With the subsequent state, the chances of winning the tiebreaker greatly increase!

For the Heat, the successful change of formation means that they have almost completed the comeback of this series!

After losing the game, the 76ers players on the sidelines also seemed depressed, and Anxi also frowned deeply.

In this game, he made 11 of 25 shots and scored 30 points. He also had 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. His performance was still the best on the 76ers side, but it didn't help. The team was still Lost the game because the Heat were better on offense.

He had already thought of the Heat's speed increase, but what he didn't expect was that the 76ers had no way to do anything about it.

After the game, Anxi continued to be interviewed by Craig Sager, but obviously, Anxi was not in high spirits after losing the game.

"Yes, we lost this game. This result is terrible. I have to say that we need to think carefully about how to win at least one game in the next two possible games... "

Anxi only answered one question, then waved to Craig Sager and left the arena.

Craig Sagel looked at Anxi going away with some emotion. He then turned to look at the camera, faced the camera, and summed up the game: "The 76ers lost this game. From the perspective of the 76ers players, From the emotion, you can see that the loss of this game has a great impact. After the change of formation, the Heat defeated the 76ers by a big score. The 76ers seemed to have nothing to do against the Heat's fast offense and defense. The situation of the series, maybe It’s reversed again…”

At the same time, LeBron James was also being interviewed by reporters in the visiting team's locker room at Wachovia Arena.

Faced with a reporter's question: "Does winning this game mean that the Heat have regained control of the series?"

LeBron James answered without hesitation, He said: "We changed our formation and defeated the 76ers with the most pleasing and flowing fast offense. Then we will return to Miami and win another game. Finally, come back here and win the tiebreaker, no matter what, we will be the final winners!"

"After completing the comeback in the series, your momentum must be high, but before that, when you were 1:3 behind, were you worried?"

Faced with this problem, LeBron James continued to show his confidence: "No, never, I have always believed that the Miami Heat will be the final winner."

…

After all the interviews, all the media reporters, North American media reporters, and even media reporters from China and Europe, all posted a big headline: "After a magical change of formation, the Heat have reversed the situation of the series!"

"The final winner will still be the Miami Heat!" (To be continued.)
