Heat 104-105 76ers
In the Eastern Conference play-offs, the 76ers of the East 7 carried the Heat of the East 8 away.
The final meritorious player will actually be the veteran Batum, who was given up by the Clippers and used as a trade chip.
The offensive end was hot, and he scored a season-high 20 points (6-of-10 three-pointers);
On the defensive end, he kept an eye on JB, and capped Herro's life-saving three-pointer at a critical moment, indirectly dominating the game!
The emperor, who has not fully recovered, has obviously shown a decline in form, only 3 of 13 shots, but fortunately stabilized his position in the final quarter, free throws + three points + front board 2 + 1 scored 8 points in a row and raised his hand, avoiding the teammates falling short.
In this play-off game, the Heat became the biggest loser, not only losing by 1 point, but also the big player in charge of the team, JB, was injured.
He fell to the ground in pain in the first quarter when he was hit in the knee by a falling Oubre;
The team doctor immediately went on the court to check, and estimated that at that moment, the hearts of the Heat were half cold;
Spo, who couldn't hold it back, even burst into foul language....
After struggling to get up, JB insisted on playing with an injury and played directly into the final 19 seconds of the game before being replaced by Martin.
The spirit was commendable, but the effect was not satisfactory, and in the last 4 minutes JB was completely marginalized and did not make any shots. In the end, he played 40 minutes, and his statistics were fixed at 5 of 18, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals.
So much so that he is also deeply blaming himself:
It is reported that JB's right knee has been put on a brace and will undergo an MRI examination.
Shams broke the news that JB is likely to have suffered a medial collateral ligament injury (MCL) in his knee or be out indefinitely.
If it is really as mentioned above, then the Heat is very likely to be more than lucky in the next 8-game game.

Bulls 131-116 Eagles
Mayor Young, who returned at the end of the season, failed to lead the team out of the quagmire, although Murray, one of the two guns, contributed a morale-boosting air-cut one-arm dunk;
But it still couldn't resist the pace of the Bulls' attack, which blasted a super attack wave in the first and third quarters, shooting down the hovering eagle with precision.
Kobe White's long-range three-pointer and Azan's game-winning +27 plus/minus are all remarkable.
After beating the Hawks, the Bulls met the Heat again, and the two teams competed for the eighth ticket in the play-off matchup for the second year in a row. (PS: After the Heat defeated the Bulls last year, they went all the way to the Finals and finally lost to the Nuggets);
In the regular season this season, the Heat 2-2 Bulls!, and this tie-breaker will be played at 7 a.m. on Saturday, and the winner will play against the league's No. 1 Green Army~
