The Way of the Center

Throughout the break, the fans at the American Airlines Center never stopped booing.

But in the area behind the Trail Blazers bench, Portland fans from afar hugged and bounced. Including Catherine, who is extremely glamorous on the T stage, is also caring with others at this moment.

The Trail Blazers fans joyfully celebrated being captured by the camera and placed on the big screen at the scene. This move plunged the American Airlines Center into an abyss.

The booing of home fans not only makes the away team players feel pressured, but the home team players also carry a huge burden on their backs because of their fans' dissatisfaction.

"Man-to-man personal defense, we can no longer fall into the trap of the Trail Blazers." In the end, Spoelstra could only use the most primitive and ordinary defense to deal with a series of changes in Ricard.

"But, if they push it to a faster pace..."

"Impossible, with An Jie, the Blazers can't push the pace. It was just a smoke bomb released by Ricard in the first quarter. Then he can't risk anymore to let the Blazers run off." Yes, Li Calder even used the term "run and bombardment" on the trailblazer just now.

Seeing that the rest time was running out, Spoelstra stood up and patted his players on the shoulder. "Perform well, it's just 11 points, it's nothing. Let's use the three games at the American Airlines Center to win the championship!"

After the players all played, the Heat's assistant Fizdale approached the Filipino and whispered. "LeBron... did you let him play like this?"

Fizdale is talking about James' low shooting percentage in the first quarter.

"I can't tell a guy like LeBron to pay attention to the number of shots, right? Believe him, this guy is the number one player in the league, and he will adjust himself." Spoelstra is also very upset, of course he wants to remind James , But even if he is the head coach, he dare not question players like James in front of everyone. Maybe later he will quietly ask James to come to him and say a few words, but in the situation just now, he absolutely can't do that!

James and Kobe may be the kind of people who still have unlimited firepower even if they can't make a shot. I hope James can really adjust it by himself, as Spoelstra said.

With an 11-point advantage in hand, Ricard could "swagger" and put Anjie and others on the bench at the beginning of the second quarter.

Anyway, Batum and Courtney Lee feel hot today, and they shouldn't let the Heat get close to the score easily. Even now, LeBron James is on the court.

After several rounds of the game, James' offensive efficiency still did not improve. He stared at Meyers Leonard for a layup several times, but Leonard was unexpectedly tough today, which made James very uncomfortable.

To say who in this Trail Blazers team will most actively respond to Anjie's call, it is Leonard. The eldest brother that I look up to is all talking, can you not work hard as a younger brother?

Spoelstra was very annoyed when he saw the difference between the points and the retreat. If even LeBron can't handle all of this, then who in the Heat can do it? Wade with a serious knee injury? Bosh in poor health?

The Filipino began to look anxiously on the bench, and now he needs someone other than the Big Three to stand up.

Ray Allen? Today he will only be chased and bitten by the crazy dog ​​Courtney Lee. In the end, the Filipino's sight fell on No. 13 wearing a white home jersey.

"Mike." Spoelstra walked up to Mike Miller.

2ooo fifth overall pick, best rookie, best sixth man, deadly shooter. These are the halos that this veteran once wore on his head.

After joining the Heat, Mike Miller's main task became to bring stability to the team and provide experience and confidence. After all, this is no longer an era that belongs to the rookies of the year 2000.

But now, the Heat urgently need to use points to stabilize the situation. What is the best way to catch up with points? Three pointers!

Now that James has fallen into the iron circle, the only option for the Heat to output a three-pointer is Mike Miller!

Miller looked up at his coach. Needless to say, the veteran also knew what his coach wanted to do.

"I tried my best." Mike Miller stood up and moved his muscles. He doesn't want to be able to help the team turn the tide at his current age, but to do what he should do, this is Mike Miller's professional attitude.

After Fischer hit a shot from the middle distance, the point difference between the two sides came to 15 points today. You know, this is still the point difference behind the Heat with James on the court.

Spoelstra did not hesitate as he did at the beginning. He decisively called a timeout and arranged some tactics. The most important thing was to let Mike Miller play!

At this time, Ricard has been sent to the full lineup. On the Heat's side, the Big Three and Chalmers also re-appeared, but James was mentioned to the fourth position this time, and Mike Miller played as the third position!

"Coach Spoelstra has changed. Obviously, his change is to strengthen the Heat's offense. But now that the Blazers' five tigers are all back on the stage, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the Heat to chase points. ."

James silently glanced at Mike Miller. Indeed, the singles he just insisted on did make the Heat passive. Just now Spoelstra has said, let everyone pass a few more to Mike Miller.

James is not the kind of unreasonable ball tyrant. The reason why this guy insists on attacking is that he hopes the Heat can quickly fill the gap. He nodded at Miller, who just smiled.

James has the ball to advance, and Aldridge doesn't know if he should go up to defend. While he was thinking about it, Iguodala took the initiative to step up.

Forced to be helpless, Aldridge had to defend Mike Miller. Although Miller's legs and feet are not flexible, the physical resistance is much weaker than before. But his keen sense of smell as an off-ball shooter still allows him to deal with Aldridge's rusty perimeter defense.

Slip the bottom line and draw the three-point line. Fake off the ball, reverse run, and get rid of the defense with James' off-ball pick and roll.

With this set of tactics, Aldridge has completely lost control of Mike Miller. An Jie wanted to help with the defense, but he couldn't let the basket be so empty.

Mike Miller got his wish and stood outside the three-point line, and Wade passed the ball in time. The Heat on the 13th, under the expectations of all fans, shot quickly.

Wesley Matthews was very active in his defense, but he was still a step slower.

Everyone stood up and moved their eyes along the trajectory of the basketball. Mike Miller kept the wrist-pressing gesture after throwing the ball, and the basketball seemed to be remotely controlled by Miller, hollow into the net!

"Three~~~ Mike Miller!" the live dJ at the American Airlines Center shouted passionately. He felt that he hadn't released the depression in his heart for a long time.

"Good job Mike, good job!" James touched Mike Miller's head excitedly. This is also the first time James smiled so far in this game.

This is the role of Mike Miller, not only can he hit three-pointers, but he can also bring hope to his teammates!

After that, the Heat's offense finally improved. Especially Dwyane Wade, Wade stepped forward when James didn't feel it.

Wade, who had suffered severe injuries, threw himself into the air time and time again, and fell to the ground time and time again. He doesn't care about his health anymore, and he fills the gap. This is Wade's only wish.

The Blazers' offense is still fierce, but in the Heat's desperate counterattack, the point difference is still not shrinking.

When the point difference was only 1o, the Heat once again fought back.

In order to prevent Wade from breaking through, the Blazers put more attention on the "Flash". Bosh has Anjie to take care of him, James has nothing to do today, Chalmers? forget it. As for Mike Miller, although he made a three-pointer a few minutes ago, it was only a three-pointer.

Aldridge still didn't care too much about Mike Miller. He didn't believe that Spoelstra would develop offensive tactics for a role player among role players.

Aldridge was wrong. At this moment Mike Miller is not a role player, but a signpost on the court!

Miller walked around the three-point line painlessly, making his sense of existence even lower.

James broke through from outside the three-point line. Just halfway through, the "little emperor" gave the ball to Wade who cut inside.

The fans at the American Airlines Center were cheering, and they thought it was another Janway connection.

However, Wade who received a pass from James was not the end of the offense. When Aldridge moved and prepared to defend Wade, Wade ignored a pass from behind, allowing Mike Miller to get another shot.

"Stop him for me!" Ricard's shout made all the Blazers players react instantly. But Mike Miller's quick shot would not give An Jie their reaction time. The basketball was thrown again. Under An Jie's gaze, the ball was finally hollow into the net!

"Mike Miller, today's second three-pointer. This guy is the savior of Miami today!"

With a three-pointer, the double-digit advantage established by the Trail Blazers instantly became only 7 points left.

Among them, Mike Miller's role is beyond doubt.

"Let’s, go, heat! Let’s, go, heat!" The American Airlines Center regained its vitality, and the Heat were pulled back from the cliff.

With the help of Mike Miller ~www.NovelMTL.com~ everyone in the Heat is united. The 7-point difference was also successfully maintained by the Heat to the end of the second quarter.

Although still in the lead, although James's condition has not improved much. But Ricard is still not satisfied with this result. Can a Mike Taylor spoil the good things of the Blazers? This is never allowed!

Walk into the locker room and close the door. The noise in the American Airlines Center immediately disappeared, and the quiet locker room was only the voice of the players panting.

"You are still too conservative, Mike Miller wants to be heroes, right? Let's show the heroes in the hearts of Miami people!" Ricard didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the subject.

"If James continues to play at the fourth position, I will defend him." And Anjie made a proposal that made everyone shine.
