"Xiang Chu, Xiang Chu grabbed another offensive rebound. In contrast, the Heat have not had an offensive rebound yet."
"Xiang Chu scored in double figures in a single quarter again. It's wonderful. Now it's the scoring battle between him and James."
"Zhan appeared again with all his strength. It is rare to see James like this. He doesn't think about passing the ball at all. He just forcibly crushes the defender."
"Middleton has fouled four times. If he can't stay on the court, it will be a loss to the Nuggets. He is the most stable player on the Nuggets' three-point line."
"Dunleavy hit a three-pointer, and he played the role of a surprise soldier again. When Xiang Chu and James were evenly matched, his scoring helped the Nuggets regain the lead."
In the case of James' full attack, the Heat's rotation did not provide more help. It may be that they are used to James' feeding, or they have invested too much energy on the defensive end.
For the Nuggets, Williams performed well, and Dunleavy also hit two key shots, so they still entered the final quarter with a lead.
Avoiding Xiang Chu, Bosh's performance was okay, but this game couldn't give him more chances.
Heat need to win, Bosh can score but can not lead the team to recover the score.
Two minutes later, the Heat replaced James again, and the Nuggets also played Xiang Chu without hesitation.
Although the two are not directly facing each other, they do not have much effect on the field.
After Xiang Chu and James played, they started a scoring battle again.
First, the Nuggets took advantage of less, but when the game entered the last 6 minutes, James scored 5 points in a row and brought the two teams closer.
The next two people come and go, you two points and I two points tit for tat.
However, the Nuggets were leading before, so they have maintained an advantage of about 4 points. The time is coming to the end, and the Heat have not found a chance to completely smooth the score gap between the two teams.
When the time entered the last 2 minutes, the Nuggets' offensive end failed to hand over the ball to Xiang Chu. Knight missed a three-pointer. James passed the ball to Bosh in the Heat's counterattack, and the latter hit a key three-pointer.
The score between the two sides suddenly became 99:97, and the advantage of the Nuggets was only 1 point.
George Karl quickly called a timeout to calm down the players on the field.
On the court again, Xiang Chu came to the free throw line to catch the ball. After he got the ball, he was double-teamed.
This is exactly what the Nuggets expected. Their tactic this time is that Xiang Chu first attracts the defense, then hands the ball out, and then seeks a position inside.
After Xiang Chu handed the ball to his teammate, he immediately turned around and rushed inside. Knight made a reverse hang, and Xiang Chu dunked after receiving the ball.
Come back, the Heat hit two points by Wade.
But in the next round, no one expected that when the Heat used similar tactics, the Heat did not go all out to attack Knight, and Knight hit a very crucial three-pointer.
The same difference of 4 points, but in the last few seconds, the form became completely different.
This time, the Heat chose to pause, and George Karl quickly told the players that the next step was to defend the three-pointer.
The Heat really wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but they never found a chance.
The more this is the case, the more difficult it is for players to take shots against the defense at will. The pressure during this period is not ordinary.
Seeing that the Nuggets were able to defend successfully in this round in just a few seconds, James suddenly accelerated and scored the ball with Middleton.
The referee blew his whistle for this ball, and Middleton made six fouls.
After James hit a free throw, the gap between the two sides was only 1 point.
Middleton was very annoyed, the ball directly allowed James to score 2 points.
However, it is useless for the players on the field to be upset. It is serious not to make mistakes and win the game.
In fact, the Nuggets still had the advantage at this time, and the remaining time was less than 24 seconds. The Nuggets replaced Williams, who was good at free throws, with two ball-holding points on the outside.
The Heat did not directly foul, but pressed first.
Both Knight and Williams handled the ball well, and the Nuggets came to the opposing half smoothly.
The Heat pinched the ball, and the Nuggets definitely couldn't kill the ball. When the time was only about 10 seconds left, the ball came to Xiang Chu's hands, and the Heat fouled immediately.
The Heat should not be targeting him. The Nuggets have relatively low free throw percentages on Chandler and Xiang Chu. Chandler didn't touch the ball. It's normal for the opponent to choose to foul Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath and cleared his head.
The first free throw, hit, he basically missed the first free throw, mainly due to a slight deviation in the sensory memory of basketball, but if the first free throw hits the second free throw, there will be no problem, this point in the hands of athletes It still feels okay.
The second free throw was hit, and there were loud cheers in the stadium.
Xiang Chu was reminded by his teammates that he scored 50 points again.
The last time the Heat attacked, the Nuggets were defending a three-pointer, and James broke through to score the ball.
Time was running out when the ball reached Bosh's hands, and Bosh barely missed the shot. The Nuggets won the home game again, leading the total score 2:0.
Xiang Chu scored 50 points and 17 rebounds in this battle. After the game, Spoelstra also sighed, "I hope Xiang Chu's performance can be worse."
George Karl sang praises again, "Obviously, Xiang Chu's presence on the court is a manifestation of our strength."
The media in Denver were even more amazed, "Xiang Chu played another epic game."
James also scored 39 points in the first quarter without exerting force, and performed as well as Xiang Chu on both ends of the offense and defense. If he came up and scored with all his strength like Xiang Chu, maybe there will be two 50 points in this game .
For losing again, James was very upset, "The opponent had the advantage from the beginning, which should not have happened at this time of the season. My rhythm was not bad, but I just made some mistakes that shouldn't be made, which was fatal. "
But he also said: "You are always on a cliff in the playoffs, but I won't worry about it. What we have to do is to adjust."
Spoelstra also backed up the point of view of the core of the team, adding: "We didn't play well, and everyone has to bear it. You have to take it from it and go on the road again."
Xiang Chu's playoffs once again stunned everyone's attention, and no one would have any objection to his pretending at this time.
"Actually, I didn't care about how many points I scored at all." He said, "I just want to help the team win. When the opponent gets points, I think I must also get points. They are the defending champions, and they have James, If I don’t score consistently, I will feel a sense of crisis.”
"Away? Like I said, I'm not afraid of playing away. I know they're going to fight back, everyone in the team knows that, but we also know that we have to win four games, whether it's at home or away."
