The Heat fight the Green Army again
Butler's injury has been announced, everyone knows that he won't be playing in the first round of the series, and people have lost hope in the dark horse of the league. Admittedly, the Heat have done a lot of miracles, but without Butler, no one thinks they will continue to play the story of the Black Eight, after all, they will face the Boston Celtics, who have the best record in the regular season. However, people can't underestimate this Heat, and Spo's ability to adjust the game is also the first gear in today's league.
The Celtics' strength is undeniable, and although the team has suffered many losses against the Heat in the playoffs, the Green Army is completely different today. The duo are more mature, and the team also has Holiday and Porzingis, an outside defensive gate, an interior offensive kaleidoscope, and Derrick White who can't be ignored.
Three points poured down
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Heat hit 8 three-pointers, Herro and Harkes and Jovic, each hit 2 three-pointers, and the team scored 28 points in a single quarter, but the Celtics also scored 27 points, of which the Celtics scored 14 points and 2 rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting, and Brown also had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. After returning from the game in the second quarter, the Heat's three-point feel continued, hitting 5 more three-pointers in a single quarter, Martin scored 8 points, Herro scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and the team scored 30 points in a single quarter.
The Celtics showed absolute strength, Brown had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal on 6-of-10 shooting, and Holiday also had 5 points and 1 rebound, the team scored 34 points in a single quarter, and at halftime, the Heat was still 3 points behind the Celtics at 58-61. In the second half, the Heat still shot three-pointers crazily, Herro hit 2 three-pointers, and the team made 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 27 points again. The Celtics began to lose accuracy, Brown had 7 points and 1 rebound, Tatum had 6 points and 4 rebounds, the team only scored 18 points in a single quarter, and the Heat managed to lead by 7 points.
In the final quarter that decided the outcome of the game, the Celtics continued to catch up, but Adebayo was always able to respond from mid-range, White scored 9 points in a row to retain the suspense, Highsmith and Hakes continued to make three points, Tatum made two free throws, the difference narrowed to 6 points, Martin returned three points, Herro hit the board, the difference returned to double digits, and the game lost suspense. As the final whistle blew, the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics 111-101.
The Black Eight Miracle is staged
Without Butler, the Miami Heat still took a win from the Celtics' home court and dominated the series, you know, they are only the eighth team in the East, and the star of the house has suffered injuries, I have to say that this Heat team can always work miracles, and last season's Eastern Conference championship is back. The key to the Heat's win was undoubtedly the team's all-time record 23 three-pointers in a single game. Herro had 24 points, five rebounds and 14 assists on 6-of-11 three-point shooting, Martin had 21 points on 5-of-6 three-point shooting, and Bam Adebayo had 21 points, 10 rebounds and two assists on 9-of-13 shooting.
The Heat scored 20+ points with 3 players, in addition, Harkes also had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Jovic had 11 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and the starting five Tigers all scored double-doubles, and the series score was rewritten to a 1-1 draw. The Celtics only had 3 players score double-doubles, Brown shot 13 of 23, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and got a team-high 33 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, Tatum shot 10 of 20, 28 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and the double Tanhua did his best, but in addition, the team only White scored a double-double, with 13 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, Holiday 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Porzingis shot 1 of 9 with 6 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, which was unsatisfactory.
