In the blink of an eye, the Miami Heat have taken the initiative in the second round of the series with a big score of 1-0. As the first team in the East in the regular season, the Heat's status has been very stable, but it has never been recognized by the league and is not recognized as having the strength to win the championship. But who would have thought that in the second round against the so-called championship-winning hot 76ers, the Heat would be able to beat their opponents without any ability to fight back. We admit that Embiid, who was sidelined due to injury, did put the team's offensive and defensive ends in an awkward state.
But why didn't the Heat give them a chance to fight back? Butler and Tucker clocked in three consecutive quarters to give up the opportunity to perform to their teammates on the bench. At the same time, Hiro, who came off the bench, once again proved his worth, sending a game-high score of 25 points and 7 assists in 29 minutes. The starting core has also exerted all its strength, and the Heat have ushered in a good start, which shows that this team is not an ordinary team. And this time ushered in the G2 battle, will the Philadelphia 76ers make a challenge to equalize the score?
In the first half, the Heat, who played at home, once again showed their strength, successively extending their lead. Butler gave 6 points and 5 assists in the first quarter of the game, led the team to a state of blooming everywhere, and led the team to a 31-24 score, the leader of the seven points. And although Harden gradually got better, playing the second quarter for 12 minutes of playing time, sending a key 12 points, Hiro on the Heat bench was not to be outdone, and also handed over 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and helped the team play a 29-28 score.
After consecutive lead leads, the Heat have led the 76ers by eight points at 60-52. In the second half of the game, the Heat, who have successively taken the lead, still did not give the opponent the opportunity to counterattack. In the third quarter, Butler Fawei, shooting 4 of 7 and 3 of 3 from the free throw line, delivered 12 points and 3 assists, and continued to lead the team to a 31-28 score. The point difference between the two sides was widened to 11 points, and the Heat's victory in the game was inevitable.
Sure enough, in the final quarter of the tiebreaker, the Heat, under the continuous power of Adebayo and Oladipo, actually scored a 28-23 score. In the end, the regular time of the fourth quarter was completed, and the Heat won the game with a score of 119-103. The series score was 2-0, the Heat held the lead, and the hopes of an emergency showdown became greater and greater. However, the situation is becoming less and less optimistic for the Philadelphia 76ers. The star of the club, Embiid, is still injured, and Harden has not been able to play himself in this game.
Yes, Harden in the first half of the competition, hard to hand over the key 16 points, the second half but only 4 points of scoring contribution, the data performance, after all, is still too chicken ribs. At the same time, although Maxi can show a big heart, with an efficient shooting rate of 22 shots and 12, sending the highest score of 34 points in the game, as well as 3 rebounds and 1 assist, it is still a pity that he did not help the team complete the final reversal. On the other hand, the Heat, who continue to win at home, scored double digits by four players on the team, including not only Butler with 22 points and 12 assists, but also Adebayo with 23 points and 9 rebounds, as well as the two major scoring odds on the bench.
Hiro played 33 minutes off the bench and delivered 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and Oladipo once again proved his worth in this game, playing only 28.5 minutes to deliver a crucial 19 points and 6 rebounds. With a base salary in the team, but giving away all-Star stats, Oladipo still has oil in the tank, he is not just a simple substitute player.
