Chapter 1214 1213. The Jets Are Excited when Playing Against the Heat
In fact, in Game 2, the Heat already had a clear advantage in Pat Riley's tactics built around Wade's ubiquitous whistle.
That kind of advantage point is difficult to deal with, just like after the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead, they were completely unable to handle it and were defeated by the Heat in four consecutive games.
Moreover, the Eagles have enjoyed the home field advantage for two consecutive games, and they are really not used to it when it comes to the away game.
It's just that the Eagles may be stronger than the Mavericks in order not to fall behind too far.
But damn, at the end of the second quarter of the third game, O'Neal made 5 of 6 free throws and scored 9 points in a row, suddenly widening the point difference.
With the Hawks having little time to prepare, it was difficult to deal with the fact that there was a home whistle, and O'Neal was in good shape and could even make free throws. It was a bit difficult for the Hawks to overpower the Heat on the road.
By the fourth game, the Heat's morale was greatly improved after winning a home game. Their current goal is to push the series to a sixth game!
We can't go to the Eagles' home court behind 1-3, 1-3, they are almost certain to be finished!
Only in the sixth game can they have a chance to advance to the tiebreaker!
The Eagles are also working hard here and want to win the fourth game and get the match point.
After the game started, both teams were locked in defense and played the toughest defense in this series.
The key lies in the pick-and-roll between Wade and Haslem!
It was too unsolvable. If the defense was tight, he would foul.
The Hawks can only shrink the basket to prevent Wade and O'Neal from attacking the basket, and provide physical contact from the outside to consume the Heat's outside shooting touch.
But Wade went crazy in the mid-range today!
Wade hit consecutive mid-range hits, forcing the Eagles to double attack in the mid-range. They couldn't defend alone. Except for Liu Mang, everyone else fouled when they were close to the defense. There was no way.
The away disadvantage is too obvious. After entering the fierce battle, the Eagles are obviously at a disadvantage in the away game.
Liu Mang scored 25 points on 8 of 23 shots. The Hawks only scored 87 points, while the Heat scored 103 points. Wade made 13 of 23 shots, a perfect mid-range shot, 9 of 11 free throws, and a three-pointer. Without any field goals, he made 8 mid-range shots and 5 offensive points, scoring 36 points.
The Heat are getting better and better as they play, mainly because they play decisively and resolutely after winning a game with confidence.
2 to 2 draw!
The Heat held on to their second home court, and the suspense of the Eastern Conference finals grew!
…
On May 30, in the Western Conference, the Mavericks were beaten again at home.
The Lakers gradually found a way to defend Nowitzki, and they found it by looking at the game videos between the Hawks and Mavericks. The Hawks used Tracy McGrady to defend Nowitzki, which was amazing. Jackson tried it with Odom in the third game. It worked wonders, so I continued to use it in the fourth game.
Nowitzki, defended by Odom's quick movement, height and wingspan, played two very poor games. The third game was okay, scoring 20 points, and the fourth game only scored 14 points. , 6 of 20 shots!
Yao Ming exploded when he arrived in Dallas. Yao Ming scored 33 points and 8 rebounds in the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals.
Except for Nowitzki, the Mavericks performed very well in this game. Josh Howard scored 33 points and Devin Harris scored 21 points. However, except for Yao Ming's 33 points, Kobe Bryant scored 21 points for the Lakers. With 37 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, the two scored 70 points together, helping the Lakers beat the Mavericks 113-110, making the score 3-1!

…
Before the start of the Eastern and Western Conference finals, especially after the first two games, it was difficult for anyone to imagine what would happen.
After the Eagles won 10 consecutive games in the playoffs, they were tied 2-2 by the Heat!
After losing their home court advantage, the Lakers actually won two away games in a row and tied 3-1!
Fans would think it would be normal if the big scores in the Eastern and Western finals were reversed.
But now, most fans are excited!

Now the Heat are heroes in the eyes of most fans, and the Hawks have become a role similar to the Spurs in last year's Finals, and they feel like they are being criticized by thousands of people.
This is the case for any team that has won two consecutive championships. Except for the fans of this team, fans of other teams do not want to see this happen.
However, on June 1st, after the game venue between the Eagles and Heat was moved to Phillips Arena, the game situation suddenly changed!
116 to 89, the Hawks slaughtered the Heat!
Liu Mang scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Tracy McGrady scored 11 points and 14 assists, and Jason Terry scored 37 points!
The Heat played two home games in a row to enjoy the home court advantage, which was a bit shaky. But this time the home court advantage returned to the Hawks, and they could block people more fiercely. Liu Mang got more chances to catch the ball, forcing the Heat to After Liu Mang scored 20 points in the half, he had to attack more quickly.
The whistle on Wade's side has not changed much. To guard against him, you can only use the regular season defensive methods, but the whistle on O'Neal's side is almost half missing.
The key point is that Jason Terry, who has played "CD" for three games, faced the crisis of losing three games in a row in the playoffs after returning home, and it broke out!
Jason Terry made 8 of 10 three-pointers!
Jason Terry scored 37 points with 12 of 20 shots, 4 of 10 mid-range shots, 8 of 10 three-point shots, and 5 of 5 free throws, leading the Hawks to slaughter the Heat!

Liu Mang could accept being chased to 1-2, and 2-2 tie, which was an away loss, which Liu Mang could barely accept, but 2-3 behind, Liu Mang could not accept it!
However, before Liu Mang could use his big move, Jason Terry, who had been sluggish for three games, broke out. Starting from the second half of the first quarter when he replaced McGrady who had a bad touch, Jason Terry came on and scored two three-pointers to overtake the score.
There was no need for Liu Mang to use his power or use a star card.
Liu Mang played only 35 minutes in the whole game. After five games, this was the first time that his playing time was less than 42 minutes. The lowest playing time before was 42 minutes in the fourth game. He made 11 of 22 shots and easily scored 30 points.
