Although there are four stars, the Heat is a team that wins the game by defense. The offense depends on the personal ability of the stars. The players do not need to spend too much effort on the offensive end and are more focused when defending. The Heat's three outside players have great experience in defense breakthroughs. Although Wade is only 193cm tall, he knows how to use his body to get a position in advance, so that Smith can't run and can only jump shots.

In the third quarter, Smith played more and attacked from the basket and finally scored 8 points. It was only at the critical moment that he saw who was the important person in the team. Love and Curry were silent, so Smith still had to stand up to help Ye Feng.

Thibodeau decided to use a substitute at the beginning of the fourth quarter, allowing Ye Feng and Smith to rest for a while before playing the final game.

When playing against the Celtics last season, Thibodeau did not dare to use people in the first two games, and he kept fighting with the Celtics. He did not properly allocate the physical strength of the starting player, which resulted in losing to the Celtics at home. The score has not yet been opened, and the Clippers cannot ensure a win. At the last moment, the Heat had three stars who are good at holding the ball on the outside, so there is no need to worry that no one stood up at the critical moment. However, the Clippers are used to relying on Ye Feng at the last moment. If they play until the last few minutes, the Heat will strictly prevent Ye Feng, and the situation will be unfavorable to the Clippers.

Thibodeau drew a few strokes on the tactical board and said: "Stephen (Curry), Marcus (Statton), Matt (Barnes), Massin (Gortat), Yi Jianlian came on the court, and the offensive Javier pulled out to cover. Massin was in the low post. If it was against Haslem, pass the ball to the low post and play singles. When defending, people were on the target, and the whole game was pressed tightly!"

The game is the last desperate style, and Thibodeau is about to start using it now. McGee and Love played for too long, O'Neal was too slow, and there would be loopholes when he came on the court. Only Yi Jianlian has not played in the inside. He is very physically strong. At this time, Thibodeau replaced him, and believed that he could make some contributions to the team by relying on his physical advantage. He would only play for a few minutes and would not be beaten. Moreover, in the Bucks' match against the Raptors, Yi Jianlian once limited Bosh's score to single digits, and Bosh was afraid of his type of player defense.

Before going on the court, Thibodeau called Yi Jianlian and told him: "Don't be nervous, run, follow closely when defending! Don't miss your own people."

Yi Jianlian nodded vigorously. He was very excited. He finally stood on the finals. Although he was just a substitute, he felt that his life was worth it. Those who were close to Zhu were red, those who were close to Mo were black. In the Bucks, the Nets were lazy and those who were mainly relying on outside players to "shoot birds indiscriminately". Yi Jianlian couldn't get excited. Only when he reached the Clippers did he truly connect the team's victory and defeat with his personal honor and disgrace. He began to integrate into the team. Even if it was a series of broken legs, he was willing to swear not to pull the team's back legs.

The Heat Wade, Mayo, James and Bosh stayed on the court, and replaced Zhu Wan Howard, a veteran who was one of the Rockets' "Two Elders of Xuanming" back then.

Uncle Huo Er is a strange man. He has been in a sluggish state after leaving the Rockets, but because of a stable mid-range shot that can withdraw from the inside. Many teams are willing to give him a contract to let him be a "mascot" in the team. The Heat have come forward and don't expect him to do anything else, just wait for the opportunity to shoot after pick-and-roll. If there is an open position, he can really shoot the ball.

Seeing the Clippers substitutions in the fourth quarter and Yi Jianlian were replaced, Barklic said: "What exactly does Thibodeau want to do? How did he change to the substitute at this time? If the scores are widened at this time, it will be difficult to play. The Heat are now all four star players are there."

Kenny Smith was also puzzled and sighed: "It's really too risky to be on the bench at this time. Chinese fans may be very happy, and finally waited for Yi Jianlian to appear."

On the other hand, "Magic" Johnson also questioned the Clippers' arrangement, believing that this was a bit of a "self-digging grave", and the Heat were likely to seize the opportunity to exceed the score.

The only person who has confidence in the Clippers is Van Gundy. He knows Thibodeau and analyzed: "I think Thibodeau has his own plan. Letting Ye Feng and Smith rest is only one aspect. It is estimated that the Clippers will change their defensive strategy and speed up the pace."

The Heat's ball rights, as soon as the baseline ball was sent, the Clippers started pressing the whole game. The people present didn't play much time, Barnes and Yi Jianlian were both full of energy, and the Clippers had the advantage in athletic ability. In order to break the pressing the whole game, the Heat's main players must also consume some physical strength. There is another problem. The Heat also does not have a regular No. 1 position now, Wade and Mayo are more like shooting guards. The Clippers send Curry and Sauton to a very fast speed, and the tight pressing in the frontcourt really made the Heat feel uncomfortable.

Wade brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Barnes did more thoroughly defending than Ye Feng, and defended James with close proximity without the ball. Howard came out to cover, Gotatra went out to defend against pick-and-roll, Bosh was at the low post, and Yi Jianlian was responsible for the top defense.

The Heat sent Howard to liberate Bosh and let him attack at a low post. If Love defends, Bosh has two advantages in height and speed. Thibodeau sent Yi Jianlian, but Bosh had no advantage. Yi Jianlian was a little taller than him. James was hit by Barnes and Gott, and passed it to Howard. Gott let go of James to defend Howard's shot.

Howard's movement was too slow and he was simply "slow motion" after receiving the ball. Gottard caught up with him. Howard passed it to Mayo without a strong shot. Mayo hung the ball to Bosh on the lower post on the left.

At this time, even the Zenith Stars who were watching the NBA game in the Fortress of Space knew that Yi Jianlian was the weakest on the Clippers' field, so the Heat passed it to Bosh.

Bosh dribbled with his back and played singles, Yi Jianlian defended the ball, and his strength was no worse than Bosh. He resisted it. Bosh shook his left shoulder and turned to the bottom line and jumped to the jump. Yi Jianlian was not shaken away by this simple fake move, and followed up to interfere. It was difficult to block Bosh, but interference could still be achieved. Bosh's shot missed. Gotat entered the inside and protected the backcourt rebound.

"Good ball!" On the bench, the Clippers players cheered for Yi Jianlian. It was valuable to defend this ball and send him on the court. This was an unexpected gain. Yi Jianlian restrained players like Bosh.

When the Clippers attacked, Yi Jianlian pulled out the outside cover to block Wade, Thorton broke through, and Barnes also pulled out of the three-point line, attracting James' defense and preventing him from entering the inside to assist in defense. Gott was at a low post, Howard defended, and Bosh was responsible for defending the pick-and-roll, and kept up with Thorton.

Sauton failed to pass Bosh, and the ball turned around and passed it out of the outside line again, leaving it to Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian had a height advantage against Wade. Wade quickly stepped forward and made it difficult for Yi Jianlian to jump, disrupting his shooting rhythm. Inside Gotat squeezed Howard to go to the middle to ask for the ball.

This opportunity was obvious. Yi Jianlian sent the ball in over Wade's head and played an inside pass to cooperate. Gott was purely bullying the elderly. He received the ball and drove it back, turned to the right, and beat Howard to hook it up! 73 to 68.

Spoelstra was very dissatisfied with the defense this time, and Howard did not get stuck. When he was young, Howard couldn't defend, let alone now that he is old and has old arms and legs, how can he defend?

As soon as the Heat's out-of-bounds ball was released, the Clippers pressed the whole game again.

Wade dribbles through, and after passing the ball, the Clippers players still have time to catch up and make a second defense. After all, there is still a long distance away from the basket. Unless Wade directly makes a three-pointer after passing the ball, the Clippers' goal will be achieved.

James took the ball at a high position, Barnes stepped forward and was ready to defend, and James still had no good chance. The Clippers' tactical arrangement was to let others shoot, and double-team James when necessary. As soon as James passed the cover, he bumped into Gott and didn't go over.

In Ye Feng's previous life, Gott was famous for eliminating the Cavaliers in the Magic's playoffs. At that time, Gottt defended James' pick-and-roll attacks many times. He had height, speed, and good ability to predict the pick-and-roll. James passed the ball out of the outside line again, Wade took the ball, and Bosh made a second screen.

When people are guarding against others, Yi Jianlian can only switch defenses. Ma Hong and Mutombo have taught him for a year, and even idiots should have made some progress in defense. Yi Jianlian's advantage lies in height, so he is one step away from Wade, preventing breakouts but not shots, preventing Wade from rushing to the basket. After such a contraction of defense, Wade immediately gave up the breakthrough, moved sideways and stopped the jump shot, and the ball went hollow to the net. 73 to 70.

Yi Jianlian has no choice but to defend Wade, if he can prevent him, he shouldn't be the marginal person.

The Clippers attacked, and Yi Jianlian went to the outside to cover again. This time he blocked Mayo. Curry dribbled the ball to the side. He had no blind spots in his shot and could shoot at all positions. Bosh quickly followed up. Curry passed the ball to Gotat in the low post. Gotat played Howard one more single, and he took a step back, turned around and jumped, and added a small back. Howard could not block it, and the ball went in again! 75 to 70.

Gotat returned to defense and waved his fists excitedly. When Spolstra saw that it was not possible, he quickly replaced Howard and replaced Joel Anthony, strengthening the defense at the low post.

As soon as the ball was sent, the Clippers' frontcourt press came again. Their goal was to consume the strength of the Heat's starting lineup. When they arrived at the frontcourt, the Clippers strictly guarded James, and Wade hung the ball to Bosh on the right. Bosh played singles at a low post. This time he dribbled the ball and turned to the middle. Yi Jianlian followed closely, interfering with the shooting again, and the shooting was missed, and Barnes won the backcourt rebound.

Bosh was very embarrassed in this game. Barkley shouted: "Yi Jianlian defended Bosh again, twice! With these two defenses, the Clippers have not introduced him in vain!"

Barnes held the ball in his arms, the Clippers were slow and attacking from the position. This was not about the success rate, but about delaying the time. The players kept passing the ball. With 5 seconds left in the offensive time, Curry used Yi Jianlian to cover the breakthrough and missed the jump shot. Although he did not make a move, his goal was achieved.

After playing for 4 and a half minutes, Heat coach Spoelstra requested a timeout, and the Clippers were still leading by 1 point. The Heat started and failed to overtake the Clippers' substitute, which made him unbearable.
