155.
…………
Soon, the second half of the game arrived. The lineups of both sides were the same as those at the beginning of the first quarter, without any difference.
With the sound of "drip", the third quarter game began. The Heat controlled the ball and began the first wave of offense in the third quarter.
Carlos Arroyo took the ball, led the ball over the half, and handed it to Dwayne Wade. After receiving the ball, Dwayne Wade first took a tentative step forward, then suddenly accelerated and broke through to McGrady's left. McGrady was close to Dwayne Wade and blocked his way.
Dwyne Wade squeezed McGrady hard, then suddenly stepped back and jumped in, and the ball went in. McGrady frowned, obviously it was a bit difficult to defend Dwyne Wade.
Zhou Yi controlled the ball, advanced steadily to the frontcourt, and then handed it to Greg Monroe in the inside. The defender of Greg Monroe was naturally the former "Dragon King" Chris Bosh.
Greg Monroe and Chris Bosh were together, and of course they would compete to squirt and squirt about each other. However, both of them were warned by the referee once, so they were still very low-key in squirting each other.
Greg Monroe sneered, leaned against Chris Bosh, squeezed back hard, and then suddenly turned around and made a jump shot. But just as Chris Bosh came up, Chris Bosh flipped his wrist and passed the ball.
The one who received the ball was Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi tangled to the basket from the middle, Chris Bosh was tricked by Greg Monroe, and Joel Anthony was also attracted by Ben Wallace. So, for Zhou Yi, the basket is almost empty now. However, behind Zhou Yi, Carlos Arroyo is followed. Therefore, it is not easy for Zhou Yi to attack the basket.
After Zhou Yi rushed to the basket, he did not dunk or dunk as expected, and he didn't even make a move. Carlos Arroyo behind him also chased after him and stared at Zhou Yi in case he attacked under the basket.
At this moment, Greg Monroe, who had tricked Chris Bosh into jumping up before, rushed to Chris Bosh, and Zhou Yi naturally passed the ball in his hand to him.
"Oh..." Seeing this scene, Chris Bosh immediately exclaimed, turned around and rushed towards Greg Monroe.
But Greg Monroe didn't stop at all, and he jumped and dunked with one hand.
Chris Bosh and Carlos Arroyo suddenly became the background.
Although all this happened a long story, it happened instantly. All the fans in the game were deeply shocked by the ball, and people couldn't help but praise Zhou Yi's ability to control the game.
If Zhou Yi had just attacked directly by himself, the chance of success is very high, but the chance of failure is also not small, because there is interference from Carlos Arroyo behind it. However, Zhou Yi connected with Greg Monroe, allowing him to break through Chris Bosh's defense line to attack, and make the chance of success infinitely magnify. It has to be said that Zhou Yi's calmness and overall view are amazing.
Chris Bosh snorted at Greg Monroe in anger, then glared at the culprit Zhou Yi before serving the bottom line.
"Chris, don't take it to heart, we will get it back." LeBron James glanced at Chris Bosh, who was furious and said.
"Yeah." Chris Bosh responded.
LeBron James dribbled the ball through the half, did not pass the ball, and chose to attack by himself. He called Chris Bosh out of the pick-and-roll, and LeBron James suddenly started and directly threw away Techelon Prince, like a tiger out of the cage, heading straight to the basket.
Greg Monroe saw that Tychelle Prince was thrown away by LeBron James, and quickly let Chris Bosh go, asking Ben Wallace to assist Cachris Bosh, and then rushed forward to defend LeBron James.
Faced with LeBron James' attack, Greg Monroe had no intention of retreating.
LeBron James saw Greg Monroe's defensive posture and sneered, jumped up, like an eagle spreading its wings, soaring into the air, holding the ball in one hand, and that momentum was like a king who looked down on the world, as if he could destroy all obstacles that would stop him. He almost rode Greg Monroe and dunked the ball into the basket.
After completing this Tiger-style dunk, LeBron James, who fell to the ground, held his hands up and listened to the cheers of the fans of the audience.
This dunk triggered the atmosphere of the entire American Airlines Center Stadium. The noise created by the fans almost pushed the roof of the stadium open.
Greg Monroe, who was buckled by LeBron James, looked at all this at a loss, his face full of reluctance, and he no longer had the arrogance he had fought against Chris Bosh before.
"Greg, don't take it seriously. Who hasn't suffered any setbacks in the NBA? If you are depressed now, you will be in the shadows of life forever in the future. Be cheered up!" McGrady patted Greg Monroe and comforted.
"Yes, Tracy is right. Don't take it to heart Greg," Zhou Yi also patted Greg Monroe's shoulder and said.
"I understand, Tracy, Zhou, how could I be knocked down so easily? We still have to fight the O'Brien Cup together, I won't escape at the last minute." The unwillingness on Greg Monroe's face gradually faded away, replaced by a positive smile.
Seeing his beloved disciple being humiliated by LeBron James, John Custer sat in the coach's seat and knew that this was something that rookies like Greg Monroe had to go through.
Offense and defense transfer, Pistons attack.
McGrady singled Dwyne Wade and gave it to Greg Monroe who was pulled near the free throw line. The latter shot and scored the ball when he received the ball. Seeing Greg Monroe scored, he was not affected by the moment, John Custer also smiled with relief.
As time goes by, the third quarter has been played for 6 minutes, and the scores of both sides have not been widened. The Pistons are still leading by 2 points 69 to 67.
However, although the Pistons were still leading by 2 points, the Pistons did not slacken at all. Perhaps LeBron James' dunk just now brought the morale of the Heat. In just a few minutes of the game, the Pistons reduced the previous 7-point advantage to a 2-point advantage. Therefore, the situation of the two sides was still very stalemate.
Carlos Arroyo broke through the dribble, and Zhou Yi suddenly found a flaw and reached out to steal the ball. Unfortunately, although the ball was stolen, it hit Carlos Arroyo's hand. The referee gave Zhou Yi a foul without hesitation.
John Custer looked at the time. It was more than 4 minutes before the end of the third quarter, and it was time to replace the main players and rest. So John Custer took the opportunity to change into the rotation lineup.
When the Heat saw the Pistons sending substitutes, they also took advantage of the situation to replace their starters in order to prepare for the fight in the fourth quarter.
