The Hawks returned home, but in the face of the Heat's high-pressure defense, the Eagles who lost Capela were like broken wings and could not flutter. In the third quarter, the Eagles fell into a dead silence, and at one point was bombarded with a 21-0 climax, and there was a tragic score difference of 7-30.
At that moment, the Heat had a 16-point lead, and the first round of the playoffs was almost a win. If the series goes 3-0, the Hawks may have to fight for dignity. After all, in the previous 143 series 3-0 in history, the trailing side has never completed a reversal.
However, the game is not over, and the Hawks have not given up. Young rookies Okonwu made up the basket inside and kept pounding on the basket, and Hurth and Bogdanovic surged with three-point rain. With nine minutes left in the final quarter, the Heat led by as many as 14 points at 94-80. White, Okonwu and Bogdanovic hit consecutive hits to blast a 15-4 surge in just three minutes, closing the point difference to just three points.
The crucial match came as expected, and Trae Young threw a shot at 3 minutes and 33 seconds to successfully beat 2+1. He tied the score and blew the Horn of the Eagles' counterattack. This was followed by a fierce tug-of-war, with Sturus hitting three-pointers and Trae Young fighting back; Okonwu playing a 2+1 basket, butler's three-pointer was also a thrilling tie; 1 minute and 22 seconds Trae Young caused an opponent to foul, Spaugh and the referee tried their best to justify, but to no avail; then Tucker hit a counter-three-pointer in the familiar bottom corner, and the Heat led 110-109.
After a grueling defensive battle, neither team scored. The Hawks' final attack did not call a timeout, Trae Young rushed into the heat's encirclement, he met Butler's long arm interference, a high arc of throw, the ball bounced into the basket into the net. With 4.4 seconds to go, the Hawks took a 111-110 lead and Trae Young completed a quasi-kill.
On the Heat's final offense, Butler moved to the familiar position on the right at the top of the arc and then threw a tough three-pointer, and the Hawks laughed to the end. The third quarter was bombarded 21-0, and the fate of the Eagles was almost locked, but Trae Young, Okonwu, Bogdanovic and others, with fighting spirit and enthusiasm, chased the gap, completed a 16-point reversal, and won the key victory.
In the last three minutes or so, Trae Young scored 3-of-4 from the field, 1-of-1 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free throws to score 10 points. Trae Young is crazy and elegant, he is simply a natural superstar, fighting only for key moments. In the whole game, Trae Young shot 6 of 14, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 24 points, 4 boards and 8 assists, and the performance of 12 free throws in a single game was not enough to conquer the fans, but his big heart at key moments is the courage and strength that many superstars do not have.
He is strong enough to be strong, Lao Tzu Trey Young; young is not frivolous, love Falk Yang!
