Hot and hot beat the Green Army
At 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, the Heat only led by one ball at 72-70, but in the next 3 minutes, the game took a turn in an instant.
Tatum and Brown are the twin stars of the Green Army, and how to curb the duo's play is related to the team's ability to hold down the opponent's offense, and the Heat's defensive strategy:
The Heat defend the twin stars
Tatum wanted to exchange hands with Holiday , Adebayo chased the defense with his life, and prevented him from receiving the ball with his height; Brown immediately responded, while Herro and Harkes switched defenses, pay attention, Jovic quickly assisted the defense, Herro gave enough physical opponents, Martin interfered on the weak side, Brown twisted his body in the middle distance and failed, Jovic rushed to grab the defensive rebound, and the Heat successfully stopped the Gemini attack.
Hiro three points
Back to the offensive end, Adebayo held the ball in the left waist and waited, Herro borrowed two covers from Jovic and Adebayo from the weak side in a row to get rid of Brown, Porzingis did not save in time, and Herro was absolutely empty for three points.
Tatum was rested, and White was the second offensive initiator behind Brown, and the result:
Defend White
Highsmith led the defense, after Porzingis blocked and dismantled, Jovic immediately changed the defense, 208 cm height and 213 cm arm span still effectively interfered with White's mid-distance, Highsmith firmly stuck Porzingis, and Herro collected the rebound.
The outside line can't be opened, and Mazzulla also ordered the players to attack the inside line, as a result?
Herro defends Porzingis
Porzingis has an absolute height advantage, but Herro is here to fight hard, and while continuously using the lower set to fight with his body, he cut the ball again at the moment when Porzingis lifts the ball, interfering with his shooting rhythm, and the Heat defended again.
Highsmith 3 points
Back on the offensive end, Bam Adebayo mismatched Pritchard, Porzingis regained to help defend, Herro calmly overcooled and passed the ball to the top of the arc, and Highsmith was absolutely open for three points.
Jovic goes around the front for a steal of Porzingis

Defending and turning, Martin faced White and made a layup under the basket.
Heat make a second steal
Brown wanted to solve the problem on his own, Dunroe played with his body to fight the destruction, Jovic rushed to Pritchard, and Hawks finally completed the steal.
Martin breakout
After Martin broke through, the Heat blasted a wave of 10-0 in nearly 3 minutes, establishing a 12-point advantage at 82-70, a key turning point in the game, and you carefully read the "5 defenses and 4 offenses" interpreted above?
Defensively: Adebayo wraps around Tatum, pinch whenever Brown breaks through, hit an iron and steal, bully Porzingis for a lack of confrontation ability, a defense and a steal, and every ring of the Heat's defense is extremely targeted and extremely tough.
Offense: Herro and Highsmith's three-pointers are aimed at Porzingis' inability to defend, and Martin's counterattack and breakthrough are a symbol of the Heat's toughness.
Therefore, the reason why the Heat was able to beat the Green Army in an upset was due to luck and the opponent's light enemy, but the most important point is that the last three minutes are the epitome of the whole game, under the rule of Coach Spo, their offense and defense are as exquisite as a machine, and the style of play is really hard!
