Chapter 163

In the second half, Wade only rested for one minute. In the crucial fourth quarter, Li Hai certainly wouldn't let Wade play so comfortably.

When Wade was on the court, Li Hai was also on the court at the same time.

After Li Hai came on the field, he defended Wade in a close-fitting manner, causing interference as much as possible.

He can't completely restrict Wade, but he can make Wade play less comfortably, and after a lot of confrontation with him, the shooting percentage will definitely be reflected.

Li Hai has put in a lot of effort on defense. For the videos of Artest, Bowen, Kobe and others defending, he specially asked the team's staff in charge of the videos to give him a few copies. Familiar with the game, his defense has also been improving.

Although it has always been a cowhide plaster when off the ball, when the opponent is holding the ball, he chooses to cling to him or use his long arms to interfere with the ball, but Li Hai has done a better job in handling the details.

After Wade holds the ball, Li Hai must take half a step. There is no other way for his physical advantage. In addition, his reaction speed and the range he can interfere with. Wade will definitely be better than Jackson in the first round. more uncomfortable.

It's okay for Wade to focus on breaking through. If it's a CIC, Li Hai's interference ability is not covered.

After Wade was disturbed twice, he immediately strengthened his breakthrough. His adjustment ability is much more mature than that of ordinary young players.

After O'Neal came up, the Heat also tried to attack the inside.

At this time, Eddie Curry hadn't come up yet, and the Polish made several fouls that weakened the Heat's idea of ​​attacking the inside, because O'Neal's few free throws were not ideal, but the Knicks took the opportunity to stabilize the lead.

The Heat were hesitant about how to defend Li Hai. Wade was good at defense, but he was at a disadvantage due to his height. He couldn't expend much energy on the defensive end at critical moments. If O'Neal was in trouble, the Heat's offense would depend on him.

They don't have a better solution for the time being, they just traded Posey and Walker.

At the final critical moment, the Heat definitely need Antoine Walker, who is more threatening on the offensive end. The only change between them and the starting lineup is to keep Gary Payton on the field at the No. 1 position. Payton's rich experience in the playoffs and A solid defense is more reassuring for the Heat.

In this regard, the Knicks will be handed over to Francis. Payton is already an old man on the court. Since the Heat let him stay on the court, the Knicks will break through this point.

At 3 minutes and 58 seconds, Francis caused a foul by Payton and hit a free throw to give the Knicks a 6-point lead. Then O'Neal was fouled on a shot. After two free throws and one hit, the score gap became 5 points.

Li Hai didn't let go of the opportunity to expand his advantage, and broke through Walker head-on and made a throw.

At 2 minutes and 36 seconds, Wade caused a foul on Li Hai, and then chased the score to only 5 points.

Then the Knicks played a perfect match. Marbury held the ball and Li Hai went to the 45-degree position to cover Francis. Francis caught the ball and made a breakthrough. The Heat's defensive rotation immediately had problems. Cut to the baseline and hit 2 points.

After Antoine Walker missed a three-pointer, the time has come to 1 minute and 32 seconds.

After the Heat defended for half the offensive time, they started foul tactics. Li Hai hit four consecutive free throws to settle the game.

At 100:92, the Knicks tied the total score to 2:2.

Wade scored 33 points in this game, and Li Hai also scored 33 points in the case of heavier defensive tasks. His efforts were seen by his teammates. The playoffs are the time to increase team cohesion. The Knicks' already good team atmosphere just got better.

At this time, whoever can get the match point first will definitely be even more imposing.

Although the fifth game is the home of the Heat, the Knicks are also well prepared.

However, they encountered a different situation from before. O'Neal played an efficient offense at the beginning, and Wade assisted his teammates many times, allowing the Heat's role players to play the best game in the second round.

This was something the Knicks couldn't predict. If the role players show off collectively, no one can stop them.

In fact, the Knicks played very well in this offense, but they still lost, which made people a little discouraged.

The Heat took the lead in winning the match point, and the Knicks were forced to the edge of a cliff.

Xia Weiliang had already finished her school thesis and officially graduated from university. During the playoffs, she was by Li Hai's side all the time, like Li Hai's manager.

It was with his girlfriend's family-style company that Li Hai could maintain his confidence.

Li Hai's official agent, Fatty, originally wanted to do odd jobs with him, but the company's affairs were at a critical stage, so he was called by Li Hai to do things.

Fatty is much more reliable in doing things than when he was in school. He knows very well that Li Hai is the key to making a fortune. Not long after he became Li Hai's manager, he got a good endorsement deal. Compared with his classmates who went out of school together, his income is higher There are many, which also makes him very excited to do things.

Li Hai had nothing to worry about outside the arena, so he could put all his mind on the match.

Back in Game [-] in New York, the Knicks could no longer afford to lose.

The Heat have already announced that they will end the game in Game [-].

But this kind of thing can only be taken seriously, and if it can't be done, it will be slapped in the face, just like the Pistons were slapped in the face by the Cavaliers after clamoring to end the game in five games.

"We're not going to be out, home or away."

When Li Hai was interviewed, his tone was firm, and it was time for him to put enough pressure on them.

If you want to stabilize the morale of the team at this critical moment, you must start well.

After the five battles, players with insufficient physical strength will feel obvious exhaustion. Li Hai feels that O'Neal will definitely not be able to last that long, and he is no longer able to play a strong and dominant game.

But at the start of Game [-], O'Neal hit the Heat's first goal.

And this big guy doesn't seem to be afraid of fatigue, he started playing hard in the first quarter.

Li Hai didn't think he guessed wrong. O'Neal played so desperately just to quickly help the Heat establish an advantage. He might not have the confidence to wait until the second half to show off.

But if the lead is really established by the Heat, then no matter what O'Neal will do in the second half, the Knicks will be in danger.

If you start first, you can't let the opponent get the lead.

Li Hai stabilized his eagerness, pretended to slip to the bottom line, ran back to the three-point line, and received the passer from Marbury to hit a three-pointer.

His eyes are full of fighting spirit, and the game must not end on the Knicks' territory.

During the Heat's offense, he suddenly squeezed past Walker, intercepted the Heat's pass, ran at full speed, and dunked vigorously. Li Hai let the Heat drown in the cheers of Madison Square Garden.
