Beijing time on April 23, today, the NBA playoffs continue, with Trae Young's key moment of the killer ball, the Eagles desperate, and finally 111-110 narrowly beat the Heat, the total score chased 1-2. In this game, Butler played iron once at a critical moment, and a mid-range dry-pull iron wasted two balls, personally "dousing" the hope of the team to counterattack. After the whole game, Ba Shen played crazy for 40 minutes and 36 seconds, 8 of 20, 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, plus or minus -1.
The Heat lost and "lost" this game, they had a chance to win this game, so as to get the match point 3-0 early, but unfortunately, the accident in the middle of the way led to the loss. In the third quarter, Lowry suddenly felt unwell in defense, then went off the field to rest, and never returned to the game, if the decisive moment, the championship guard can stay on the court, the Heat not only have a good organizational guard, but also increased the projection threat of the outside, the Hawks will have a hard time stealing this victory.
According to the heat's official information, Lowry suffered a strained left hamstring, and the situation was very unoptimistic. Last year, Harden suffered such an injury, and after his comeback, his form was greatly reduced, and in the end, the Nets were eliminated by the Bucks in the semifinals. Prior to this, Harden had a total of 34 days off, and the number of vacations was as long as 18. Not long ago, Booker also strained his hamstring, and in today's game against the Pelicans, he was also unable to play due to injury, at present, Booker has rested for 3 days, and the specific comeback time is still uncertain.
According to this speculation, Lowry may also miss the next few games. Coach Spoo said the severity of Lowry's injury was not known at the moment, but the toughster said he would not be sidelined with the injury. This could be Lori's smoke bomb, and although the hamstring strain is not as scary as a ligament tear and the Achilles tendon rupture is so terrible, it is unlikely to recover in the short term. Lowry's injury could affect the course of the series, and the Hawks are once again seeing the dawn of the Black Eight. Both teams lack core main players, which can be said to be a relatively fair match.
Without Lowry, Butler will have to take more responsibility in offense and defense, in addition, Hiro, Duncan Robinson, Adebayo and others must also stand up bravely, otherwise the Heat will not want to win the championship smoothly, whether they can beat the Hawks in the first round is really difficult to say, after all, the latter is last year's Eastern Conference Finals team, the strength can not be underestimated, and now, the balance of the championship seems to be tilted towards the 76ers.
