Chapter 916 No more pretending

The Heat's offense was still fierce at the beginning, and they wanted to repeat their victory in the last game.

The Knicks have also become tougher here, with full defensive intensity both inside and outside.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Barnes took a foul tactic against James who was rushing in at high speed.

After James landed, he pointed at Barnes and showed dissatisfaction.

James felt that Barnes had just moved too much and wanted to destroy him.

Barnes also caught fire at the first moment, and immediately started pushing and shoving with James.

Barnes has an old grudge with James, and he had a conflict with James during the Suns.

After pulling the two apart, the referee gave each of them a t.

Although there was no large-scale conflict, it set the tone for the rest of the game.

That's the thing about temper. Once it gets up, it's hard to get down.

The two sides began a high-intensity confrontation. Curry suffered a lot in this rhythm and was knocked to the ground twice in the first quarter.

Fortunately, Curry was able to control his temper and did not conflict with Heat players.

The body language of both sides became more and more intense, which caused both sides to focus a large part of their energy on confrontation. After the first quarter, the score was 24 to 21.

The Knicks, playing away from home, are temporarily in the lead.

This score can be said that neither side used the offensive firepower they should have. In the second quarter, D'Antoni continued to let the players perform tough.

This kind of tough battle is different from ordinary playoffs. If you lose momentum, you will probably lose the game.

At the end of halftime, the score was still low, 49-49.

Curry's performance tonight was a bit inconsistent, and he has only scored 6 points so far. Curry is used to tailwinds, and he was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly encountered such intensity.

Chen Yan understood that he had to stand up at this time. Returning to the home court with 3-1 or 2-2 are two completely different situations.

At the beginning of the second half, Chen Yan scored consecutive points under the Heat's strict defense.

After Chen Yan scored 9 points in a row, the Heat collapsed a bit, especially James. He felt that Chen Yan was a monster. Once he got serious, the entire team couldn't guard him.

James was sleepwalking in the third quarter, and Wade stepped up, dragging his strained knee and constantly rushing inside to cause damage.

Zhang Lili couldn't resist complaining: "Wade took too many free throws. Even though it's the Heat's home court, the whistle can't be so biased. It's a foul when he rushes in. Jordan committed four fouls before the third quarter was over."

Wade scored 11 points in this quarter, 8 of which came from free throws. Netizens joked that it was like dreaming back to 2006. Nowitzki would have nightmares watching it in front of the TV.

In the fourth quarter, James continued to wander and Wade's physical fitness declined. Chen Yan led the team to an 8-0 climax and opened the score in one fell swoop.

Barkley shook his head and said: "When fighting against a team like the Knicks, you must maintain your full concentration for 48 minutes. Once your attention is distracted, the score will probably be opened."

The Heat tried to counterattack in the next few minutes, but were suppressed by the Knicks.

The Heat's main players fought until the last second, and the final score was 94 to 101. The Heat lost the crucial G4.

Chen Yan's 41 points, 14 assists and 14 rebounds were the key to the team's victory.

Kenny Smith smiled: "He once again explained what it means to be generous."

Barkley said: "Chen only scored 41 points tonight. The Heat have done their best on the defensive end."

Kenny Smith laughed after hearing this: "If this was said about others, I would be angry, but when it comes to Chen Yan, I agree with both hands. For him, 41 points is an ordinary score."

Curry kept apologizing to Chen Yan on the plane flying back to the Knicks: "Sorry, I struggled too much tonight, otherwise the team wouldn't have to work so hard."

Curry only scored 11 points and 3 assists on 8 of 5 shots tonight.

"Forget it, forget your performance in this game, and play well in the next game. This is what you should do." Chen Yan comforted.

It can be said that the Knicks players in g3 and g4 did not perform well. g3 lost the game, and g4 relied on Chen Yan's comprehensiveness to narrowly win. Everyone was holding their breath and prepared to go to the home court to show off the Heat.

One day later, g5 officially started.

Spoelstra loudly encouraged his players in the locker room: "Fight for this victory! Don't worry, we have no retreat!"

"Fight for victory! Fight for the fans!"

The Heat players were chanting loudly, but they were actually discussing vacations in private. They were trailing the Knicks 1-3, and even if they won this game, they had no confidence in winning the entire series.

Chen Yan stopped pretending and gave an unprecedented interview before the game: "We have only one goal tonight, to win. Miami is a charming city, but I don't plan to go there again before the end of this season."

The game started soon.

Jordan successfully jumped the ball and passed the ball to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan didn't follow the routine, and after getting the ball, he prepared for a surprise victory and rushed into the paint area.

The Heat's defense was in chaos, and three people went to block Chen Yan.

Chen Yan looked back at the moon and scored the ball.

Curry bent his bow and shot an arrow.

"Shh!"

0:3.

Curry excitedly high-fived Chen Yan. He was constipated in the last game. This game felt completely different from the beginning.

Curry feels everything is back!

In the next round, the Heat made mistakes in cooperation and Curry successfully stole the ball.

Chen Yan quickly moved diagonally forward to attract the defender.

Curry made a three-pointer in the counterattack.

"Shh!"

Two hits!

0:6.

The home crowd was in high spirits, it was a perfect start.

James regained his energy and took the ball to attack.

Although he doesn't have high hopes for victory in the series, James doesn't want to die so useless.

James asked two insiders to come out to cover at the same time.

After the double screen, James smelled a dunk!

The Knicks were empty inside, so James accelerated and stepped on the ground.

"boom!"

The most signature tomahawk chop!

2:6.

After landing, James glared at the baseline camera.

No matter what the big score is, James at least cannot lose in terms of momentum.

Knicks offense.

Curry dribbled past half court.

Chen Yan took the initiative to cover him.

Curry feels very good, and Chen Yan wants to create more opportunities for him.

After the pick-and-roll, Curry held the ball with his left hand, then suddenly pulled back with his back, and then accelerated inward.

Curry is good at three-pointers, but his arsenal is not limited to three-pointers.

Curry saw that the Heat's defense had obviously expanded outwards, preparing to make a secret move, and rushed directly into the penalty area.

Chen Yan ran to the bottom corner.

Curry took off with one foot and threw the ball beyond the three-point line.

The two completed a tacit connection!

Chen Yan took action gracefully.

"Shh!"

Absolutely empty net!

2:9.

From the perspective of the broadcast camera, the Nets didn't even move.

The Heat were a bit collapsed. They wanted to use physical combat to disrupt the Knicks' rhythm like they did in the previous two games. As a result, the Knicks shot away from the outside at the beginning.
