Amidst the jeers, the fourth ga of the series between the New York Knicks and the Heat Team arrived as scheduled.
The air conditioning in the Heat Team’s arena was "fixed" for this ga.
There’s really no way not to fix it, it can’t stay broken forever.
Moreover, it seems to be of no use...
Not only did the opposing team have a "Divine Enthronent" match, but they also exposed the "Death’s Eye" of their Absolute Core.
Exposed completely!
Pat Riley also feared that this ga might see another cramp leading to a famous "Painful Mask" mont.
More importantly...
At this mont, the Heat Team’s montum is already inferior to the opponent’s, with a 0-3 deficit staring them in the face, in extre situations, when falling behind, they might even entertain the thought of surrendering directly.
However, both teams didn’t start well in this ga.
Su Wan also felt a bit weak in the legs.
How to describe the fatigue of the last ga?
More exhausting than a "back-to-back-to-back" stretch.
The fatigue in that high-temperature environnt is truly one round after another, Su Wan couldn’t hold on after the last ga ended, and could only sit down on the spot, needing his teammates’ help to be carried back to the locker room.
After resting for almost an hour, he finally appeared at the post-ga press conference.
This kind of strain cannot be alleviated with just two days of rest.
Therefore, Su Wan is not at 100% physical fitness tonight, perhaps not even reaching 70%.
The Heat Team’s situation is about the sa as his.
Especially Wade.
Playing under high temperatures, his changes in direction and various knee-straining moves have caused him even more severe wear and tear than usual, and Miami dia captured his knees completely swollen after the last ga.
Before this ga started, his knees were wrapped in thick ice packs, which he only removed when the ga started.
The team doctor advised him not to play in this ga, but Wade refused.
Even with a 0-3 deficit, he still wanted to give it his all.
But neither Su Wan nor Wade discussed this before the ga; only LeBron Jas, he specifically ntioned his cramps from the last ga:
"In fact, I had already felt it during halfti, but I still chose to ignore it all as if nothing happened. I told myself, with things as they are, if I had a choice, I’d choose to collapse on the court, that’s it. I’m not soone who backs down, never have been, so I find it hard to understand those voices!"
He feels wronged.
Especially when Miami dia and fans mocked and insulted him, he felt even more misunderstood.
He’s already cramped for this jersey, what more do they want from him?
Just because he left the court in a wheelchair, does that make him a softie?
If he were a softie, he wouldn’t play in this ga, would he?
That’s what really makes a damn softie!
These damn Miami brats, they’re just upset because I’m from Cleveland, unlike Dwyane Wade who’s "authentic", so they take out their frustration of losing on !
These damn guys!
LeBron Jas now has only one feeling towards Miami:
Hatred!
The people here don’t see his efforts at all!
LeBron tries to use the dia to express his views, hoping to change the wrong perceptions of these Miami people. To let them know, the reason for his leg cramps is because he is contributing to this city!
Of course, if these damn Miami people don’t understand, he won’t insist, he believes that those who truly understand him, understand.
For now, he has to do what he’s supposed to do as a Heat Team player, and that is:
Play well in tonight’s ga!
He’s not one to complain.
Hmm, explanation is definitely not complaining.
After the ga started, from the very beginning, he showed his determination, aggressively attacking again and again, even though the New York Knicks were specifically targeting him, he did not, as usual, choose to pass the ball to the better-positioned Wade or other Heat Team players.
Only when there was absolutely no shooting opportunity or when not passing the ball would lead to a turnover, did he look for his teammates.
In the first quarter, he scored 10 points.
In the second quarter, his scoring went further, reaching 13 points.
In the second half, he scored another 11 points in the third quarter.
Just after the first three quarters, LeBron Jas had scored 33 points in this ga.
If you don’t look at his shooting percentage of 11 out of 30, and the 10 out of 12 free throws, his presence on the scoring end for the Heat Team tonight is still very strong.
Not only that...
If you look closely at his overall defensive matchups in this ga, Stephen Curry scored 15 points during his defense; Paul George scored 10 points during his defense; coupled with Su Wan’s mismatched singles against him, scoring easily for 10 points...
The points he conceded actually exceeded the points he scored.
More importantly, LeBron’s shooting percentage when reaching 33 points was just over 30%, but the efficiency of these three players when he was responsible for defense or faced mismatches was all higher than his.
The lowest efficiency was Paul George with a 45% shooting rate.
Su Wan against him had an incredibly high 80% shooting rate!
Stephen Curry, during his defensive period, also had a shooting rate of around 50%.
So when LeBron Jas’s scoring reached 33 points, the Heat Team was already trailing by almost 20 points.
