Durant made a feint, trying to shake off Crowder who was guarding him. However, Crowder's defense was very tight and did not leave any room for Durant to break through.

Durant felt a little tricky, but he did not give up and continued to look for opportunities.

Suddenly, he saw the space under the basket and immediately passed the ball to Cousins.

After Cousins ​​received the ball, he jumped directly without any hesitation and prepared to dunk the ball into the basket.

Suddenly, Butler sped up. The speed increased to the extreme in an instant, breaking through the defensive line like lightning.

Butler's breakthrough was so rapid that Mitchell had no time to react.

Fortunately, the Nets' defensive players also quickly arrived, forming a double-team situation.

Nunn is in an excellent position, right in the open space, and is the best choice for passing the ball. Butler didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Nunn.

Nunn received a pass from Butler and immediately took off to shoot. The movements were coherent and smooth, drawing an arc in the air and then hitting the net.

The game continued until the third quarter, with more than 4 minutes left, and the point difference between the two teams remained at about 5 points.

The difference is that the Nets began to use substitutes as early as halfway through the third quarter.

The Heat have always used the main lineup and used Butler.

At this moment, Butler was already exhausted and sweating profusely. He put his hands on his knees to rest whenever he had the chance.

The Nets players are obviously much more relaxed.

"Although the Heat are ahead, if they continue to play like this, they will fall into a physical crisis sooner or later." Nets assistant coach Atkinson said on the sidelines.

"Don't worry, the key depends on the performance in the fourth quarter." Lu Yong said calmly.

While speaking, Heat coach Spoelstra made substitution adjustments.

Ding Yanyuhang quickly brought it up to block for him.

After the pick-and-roll, Brunson broke through inside, while Ding Yanyuhang bounced outside the three-point line.

Crowder knew that Ding Yanyuhang was a three-point shooting threat, but when Brunson broke through, he subconsciously chose to double-team.

Brunson noticed this, and suddenly passed the ball without looking behind his head while traveling, and handed the ball to Ding Yanyuhang on the outside.

Ding Yanyuhang was also very decisive after receiving the ball, and he made a decisive jumper from the open three-pointer!

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

At 87:90, the Nets were still 3 points behind.

Heat offense.

Hiero had the ball in his hand, stood outside the three-point line, and took a deep breath facing the tight marking of the defensive players.
