At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides replaced substitute players.

For the Nets, Brunson, who took a break in the first quarter, took the lead.

Brunson, Dunro, LeVert, Oubre, and Claxton.

The Heat are led by Herro and Butler, with a front three of Derrick Jones Jr., Olynyk, and Meyers Leonard.

"Judging from the lineups in the rotation stage of both sides, the Nets have a deeper bench, while the Heat, led by star Butler and sixth man Shiro, are stronger."

"Coach Spoelstra shortened the rotation. The starting players only rested for two minutes before returning to the court. In contrast, coach Lu Yong's substitutions were much more normal. Except for Brunson, everyone else was a substitute."

"I don't know if the Heat players' physical fitness can sustain until the end of the game. In such a high-intensity game, Spoelstra really used Butler and Leonard as iron men." Wang Meng said.

"Others don't dare to say that Butler will have no problem playing 40 minutes per game. His physical fitness has been tested and he is indeed an iron man."

"As early as when he was with the Knicks, he had the feat of playing more than 40 minutes in five consecutive games. Of course, the head coach of the Knicks at that time was no longer Lu Yong. Lu's employment has always been very humane and rarely let the main players play more. ." Yang Yi said jokingly.

The game is back.

The Heat took the lead in attacking.

Hiero called a pick-and-roll at 60 degrees on the left, and Meyers Leonard came up to cover it.

With the help of the screen, Hiero accelerated his breakthrough and got rid of Dun Luo's defense.

However, the Nets adopted a quick-rotation defensive strategy.

Ubre immediately helped defend and quickly blocked Hiro.

Hiero immediately took two steps back, his view of Olynyk was blocked, and he could only gesture to his teammates to pull away.

He wants to challenge Oubre one-on-one with this ball.

Although Oubre plays a power forward, he is not out of position to defend Hiero alone. He lowers his center of gravity and is ready to defend.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Hiero adjusted the rhythm with a series of crotch dribbles.

Oubre moved in small steps and kept reaching out to try to steal.

Although he did not touch the ball in Hiero's hand, it also put Hiero's defensive pressure and made him dare not make easy moves.

Seeing that Oublay was unmoved, Hiro suddenly accelerated and was about to complete the breakthrough with a change of direction.

Ubre didn't hesitate, turned around and followed immediately.

"boom!"

The sound of muscle collision sounded between the two, and Hiro bumped into Oublay's body.

Oublay felt uncomfortable being hit on his small body and took two steps back.

However, Hiro was even worse. This collision directly disrupted the rhythm of the attack, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Dudu!"

The referee's whistle sounded in time and Hiero was called for a walk.

After hearing the penalty, Hiro immediately stood up and rushed to the referee with the ball in his arms, with an incredible look on his face.

This ball caused his center of gravity to become unstable during the confrontation, and it was true that he walked, but Hiero believed that the referee should blow the whistle for Oublay's blocking foul instead of staring at him.

The referee ignored Hiero, but asked for the ball, walked to the sideline, and waited for the Nets player to serve.

Hiro threw his arms helplessly, and could only devote himself to defense unwillingly.

In the ball just now, Oubre did not commit a foul, but predicted his route in advance and got stuck in position for physical confrontation.

When the two collided, Oubre did not take the initiative to exert force, and it must be a bit far-fetched to block.

The referee made the right call at the right time and there was no problem with the ball.

Nets offense.

Brunson held the ball through half court, played a pick-and-roll in the middle and broke through, attracting a double-team and passing to Dun Luo on the right.

Dun Luo used the screen to move without the ball to get rid of the defense and reach outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Dunro did not hesitate, jumped up and decisively shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The basketball hits the net!

44: 34.

The Nets' lead reached 10 points.

Heat offense.

Hiero and Butler had a brief exchange and prepared a strategy.

I saw Butler coming up to cover Hiero from outside the three-point line. The cover attack between their two defenders is a killer move often used by the Heat.

With one pick and one split, there are many offensive methods that can be used.

As long as a defensive player makes a momentary error in judgment, the Heat can easily find a flaw.

The Celtics suffered a lot from this move in the first round.

After the pick-and-roll, Butler came down to catch the ball. He played very hard against Brunson and hit the ball with a throw in progress.

Brunson took off with all his strength to interfere, but was not blocked.

The basketball flew over his fingertips and scored steadily.

44:36, Butler once again stood up to stabilize the situation.

When the Nets were attacking, Brunson was holding the ball at the top of the arc. He scanned his teammates on the court with sharp eyes, looking for a breakthrough.

Seeing that the Heat's defense was tight, Brunson took a deep breath and chose to cooperate with Oubre in a pick-and-roll.

Oubre put up a pick-and-roll, Brunson quickly broke through, and the Heat's defense was instantly torn open.

Seeing the opportunity coming, Brunson decisively passed the ball to Oubre.

After Oubre caught the ball, facing the defender, he jumped up without hesitation and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, the basket seemed to be shaking, and the Nets' bench instantly boiled.

At 46:36, the Nets once again opened the point difference to double digits.

The Heat will begin to strengthen their interior offense in the next round.

Olynyk held the ball and attacked the basket. He used his height advantage to beat Oublay and score the ball from close range.

The Nets attack, Brunson holds the ball on the outside looking for opportunities.

Seeing that the Heat's defensive focus was on the inside, they decisively chose to take action from the outside.

"Shh!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net!
At 49:38, Brunson's three-pointer once again expanded the Nets' lead.

The Heat did not give up, they still insisted on their own tactics.

Butler broke through with the ball from the outside and hit two points with a pull-up jump shot, continuing to close the score for the Heat.

However, the Nets' offensive firepower was still fierce. Brunson broke through and hit a floater, rewriting the score to 51:40.

The Heat attacked. Butler broke through with the ball and was double-teamed. He passed the ball to Hiero who was open on the outside.

After receiving the ball, Hiro made a decisive three-pointer, and the basketball once again flew to the basket in a beautiful arc.

However, luck was not on the Heat's side this time. The basketball bounced twice on the rim and then bounced out.

Claxton grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to LeVert on the outside.

LeVert didn't hesitate after receiving the ball and counterattacked with a fast break and scored a one-stop layup.

53: 40!

With LeVert's fast break layup, the score was reopened to 13 points.

The Heat launched an attack again, and Butler held the ball. He saw that Hiero was open on the right and immediately passed the ball. After Hiro received the ball, he accelerated a breakthrough. Facing the Nets' defense, he chose a pull-up jump shot.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
At 53:42, Hiero recovered two points for the Heat.

When the Nets attacked, Dunro received a pass from Brunson from the outside. He made a slight adjustment and shot a three-pointer.

The Heat's defensive player rushed to block the shot, but it was too late and the ball hit the basket steadily.

At 56:42, the Nets once again widened the point difference.

The Heat players started to get a little anxious, knowing that if this continues, the game will become increasingly difficult to play.

Butler took a deep breath, knowing it was time to step up.

He broke through with the ball and went all the way to the basket. Facing the Nets' defense, he made a tough layup and scored.

At 56:44, Butler once again recovered two points for the Heat.

When the Nets attacked, Brunson controlled the ball on the outside. He saw the space inside and drove in with an accelerated breakthrough.

The Heat's defensive players rushed to cover up the defense, but Brunson had already taken off and smashed the ball into the basket with a dunk.

58: 44.

The Heat began to feel a little weak, and they seemed to have been completely suppressed by the Nets.

But at this moment, Derrick Jones Jr. stood up. He received a pass from the outside and made a slight adjustment to shoot a three-pointer. The ball drew a long arc in the air and then hit the net!
At 58:47, Jones scored crucially this time.

In the next possession, Brunson controlled the ball and looked for opportunities to break through the Heat's defensive line.

He saw Dun Luo on the right was free and immediately passed the pass, but this pass was successfully intercepted by a Heat player.

The Heat immediately launched a counterattack, and Butler quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing the Nets' defense, he chose to score a layup.

58: 49!

It was Butler who still stepped forward and helped the Heat narrow the point difference to single digits.

The commentator said excitedly: "The Heat's performance is really amazing! Facing the powerful Nets, they not only did not give up, but tenaciously chased the score. This kind of spirit and fighting spirit really makes people excited. !”

He continued to add: "From the beginning of the game, the Nets showed their strong strength and once put the Heat into trouble. However, the Heat players were not discouraged and they clung to the score. , constantly causing trouble for their opponents. It was this spirit of not admitting defeat that allowed them to gradually regain their form during the game and narrow the score gap little by little."

"Especially Butler, he is the leader of the Heat and played a central role in the game. Despite facing huge pressure, he was still able to stay calm and lead the team to play wave after wave of offense. His performance , is undoubtedly the key to the Heat’s tenacious pursuit of points.”

"In addition to Butler, other Heat players also played very well. They constantly competed for rebounds, steals and blocks, gaining valuable offensive opportunities for the team. It is the joint efforts of these players that allowed the Heat to In such a difficult situation, we still remain competitive.”

As the game progressed, the Heat's pursuit of points became more and more fierce.

In the defensive round, the Heat successfully defended another goal.

Fast break counterattack, Hiro rushed to the basket with the ball.

Facing Brunson with his hands raised in the air, he relied on his athleticism to defeat him.

Brunson was suppressed and unable to jump up, so he could only watch as Hiero completed the layup.

58: 51.

The point difference between the two teams returned to 7 points.

Hiro was very excited after scoring.

During the return to defense, he ran towards Butler and the two high-fived in celebration.

However, Hiero was not happy for long, and the Nets responded quickly.

After Brunson passed the half court with the ball, he shot a three-pointer two meters away from the three-point line.

Upon seeing this, Hero immediately pounced on Brunson.

The fans held their breath and watched the basketball fly all the way to the basket.

On the bench, Vincent stood up with his arms raised and had begun to celebrate in advance.

Hiero's extreme defense was still a step too slow and did not interfere much with Brunson.

"Shu~"

With a green sound, the basketball accurately shot through the net bag!

61: 51.

In an instant, the audience burst into violent cheers.

This super long three-pointer was so morale-boosting that it poured cold water on the heads of the Heat players.

This can be easily seen from the excited expressions of the Nets bench players.

The fans at the scene even stood up and shouted, jumping up excitedly.

When Herro dribbled the ball across half court, the Brooklyn Arena filled with cheers.

The sound was so loud that it almost lifted the ceiling above the arena.

In such an atmosphere, Hiro, who was attacking with the ball, also began to become nervous.

There was a low-level mistake in the pick-and-roll breakthrough. Butler looked at the wrong person when he wanted to pass the ball, and passed the ball directly to Oubre.

This scene caused unbridled laughter from the fans at the scene.

At the same time, Oubre inexplicably added a steal and turned around to launch a counterattack.

During the fast break, Oubre, who took the lead, attracted the Heat's defensive attention, and then passed the ball to Claxton, who followed up from behind.

The moment Claxton caught the ball, Butler was already in place to help defend and block him.

But Claxton is a center with a height advantage after all. He didn't panic at all when faced with Butler's defense. He rushed up to meet Butler and dunked.

"boom!"

Thanks to Butler hiding early, if he were one second later, he would have become the backdrop for the 'Fourth Brother''s violent dunks.

63: 51.

The point difference was widened by another wave of offensive attacks by the Nets.

The Brooklyn Arena is already boiling at this moment.

Heat coach Spoelstra saw that the Nets were about to gain momentum and quickly called a timeout.

Hiero looked frustrated after coming off the court and apologized to his teammates for his passing error.

Butler didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Hiro on the shoulder to give his younger brother more encouragement.

Spoelstra felt a little relieved when he saw this scene.

Being behind in the score is not scary. What is scary is that falling behind in the score leads to internal strife in the team.

Hiero's outrageous mistakes are what no one wants to see. Butler's approach is very old-fashioned and blindly blaming will not have any effect.

Spo looked around the team members, then took a deep breath and began to encourage them in a humorous tone.

"Hey guys, look at the frustrated looks on your faces. Is it because the Nets players are so strong that they scare you?" He paused and continued: "I know, the score is now Falling behind may make you feel a little unsure. However, you must know that a basketball game is like a marathon. It is not about who runs fast at the beginning, but who can persist to the end. We at the Heat have never been afraid of difficulties. team. Right?”

The team members nodded in agreement.

When Coach Spoelstra saw this, his smile became even wider.

"Look at Hiero, although he made a mistake, but look at his expression now, it is more bitter than eating bitter melon. This is the spirit of our Heat team! Never give up, always pursue better Yourself. So, everyone, cheer up and don’t be defeated by a small score. We are a team that wants to compete for the championship!"

As soon as Coach Spoelstra finished speaking, the Heat players burst into laughter.

Their morale was rekindled and their eyes were full of desire for victory.

Coach Spoelstra stood aside, looking at his players with a smile, full of trust in this team.

"Guys, although the score difference has been widened again, we have played very well during this period. I am very satisfied with your performance."

"Nunn, you will come on stage as soon as the timeout ends."

"If the Nets keep the same lineup and you make a bold breakthrough, they can only rely on Claxton to protect the frame inside. I will let Leonard pull outside the three-point line. This is a good opportunity for us to chase points."

Nunn nodded after hearing this: "I know, coach." (End of Chapter)
