But the two are the players that the team needs the most to rest. Once the game enters the final victory or defeat, they are the players that the team needs the most urgently.

…………

After the second half of the game began, Wu Feng and Horford made another effort, narrowing the gap a little.

However, the Heat's offense is also very smooth under the guidance of James.

When nearly five minutes passed in the third quarter, Wu Feng was replaced by Jeff Teague.

Larry Drew also considered Wu Feng's current physical strength, so he had to replace him.

Moreover, the team's current situation is pretty good, and it should be able to survive Wu Feng's physical strength recovery.

However, Larry Drew obviously overestimated the Hawks without Wu Feng. With three minutes and forty seconds left in the third quarter, the Heat had already expanded the gap to double digits.

After Wu Feng left the court, the Eagles were obviously in a dilemma of inefficient offense. Several players were remarkable in defense, but they were lacking in offense. The offensive time was unreasonable, and there were many things that missed the scoring opportunity in vain. If Al Horford hadn't succeeded in two consecutive singles at the basket, the score difference would have probably reached more than fifteen points.

Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra was cheap and he was pretty good, but he was a little dissatisfied with the team's offense just now.

When Chris Bosh grabbed a backcourt rebound, Eric Spoelstra decisively requested a timeout.

In the past three minutes, the Heat only scored two goals, plus two free throws, scored seven points.

Although the Hawks did not set off a scoring craze, they also scored eleven points. The score between the two sides was 86:78.

Without Wu Feng's appearance, the double-digit score difference was further narrowed, and the Hawks are now only 8 points behind their opponents.

After Eric Spoelstra's timeout was over, Larry Drew naturally replaced Wu Feng, who had already rested for enough time.

Not only Wu Feng went up, but even Cork Hinrich, who had been resting off the court before, also went up.

However, Larry Drew was not overly optimistic about the team's performance just now. With a big score lead, the Heat players will naturally undergo some subtle changes in their mentality, giving the Hawks an opportunity to take advantage of.

Eric Spoelstra's previous timeout was quite timely, so the Heat still have an advantage when facing the Hawks.

Cork Hinrich quickly led the ball through the half, and his first pass target was naturally Wu Feng. However, since he came on the court, Dwyane Wade has been firmly following him, and his defense among the Heat is second only to James.

So at this critical moment, Eric Spoelstra naturally handed over the heavy responsibility of defending Wu Feng to his hands.

And besides Dwyne Wade, other Heat players can go forward to defend at any time.

Wu Feng's effect after he came on the court was very obvious. The Heat had at least two players' attention on him at any time. In addition, Al Horford in the inside also needed to assist in defense, so other Hawks players were prone to gaps.

Cork Hinrich quickly handed over the ball to Marvin Williams, who made a mid-range shot.

Marvin Williams' goal was very important. After Wu Feng came on the court, the Heat's main defensive target had already been on Wu Feng, but with his hitting the ball, the Heat had to pay more attention to other Hawks players. In this way, Wu Feng's pressure was much smaller.

The mid-range shot of the 'Little Emperor' LeBron James missed, and the ball rights returned to the Hawks again. Cork Hinrich made a sneak attack from outside the three-point line. The Hawks scored five points in a row within half a minute, narrowing the gap between the two sides to 3 points.

Now, there are only a few more than twenty seconds left before the end of the third quarter, and the Heat still have a chance to attack for the last time.

Mario Chalmos just passed half of the ball and handed it to LeBron James.

The Little Emperor grabbed the ball with one hand and faced Marvin Williams' defense. He first pointed forward with his right foot twice. Then he took a step back and made a jump shot.

With a "swish", James' mid-range shot hit again.

Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra wiped his sweat and still didn't dare to relax.

In recent times, although the Hawks have not made a crazy counterattack, their tenacious defense has caused great trouble to the Heat.

Now, Wu Feng's appearance has made Eric Spoelstra a little nervous. Fortunately, LeBron James is still as stable as ever, helping the Heat stabilize the situation on the court.

88:83, LeBron James' central shot helped the Heat widen the gap to 5 points.

With the last 4.2 seconds left in the third quarter, the Hawks did not pause at all, and Josh Smith quickly sent the ball to Wu Feng.

From the moment Wu Feng received the ball, Mario Chalmos has been surrounding Wu Feng's face and tried every means to prevent Wu Feng from bringing the ball to the frontcourt.

After all, there are only the last 4.2 seconds left, so we can't let the opponent complete another attack!

Wu Feng didn't want to waste time in his hands anymore, so he passed the ball directly, and the ball came to Cork Hinrich, who had passed half of the game.

Cork Hinrich found that Dwyne Wade had followed, so he passed the ball without hesitation.

There are still the last 1.9 seconds left!

The ball reached Al Horford's hand and a half-turned hook shot it out.

As soon as the ball was out of hand, the whistle sounded at the end of this quarter.

With a "swish", the ball hollowed into the net!

88:85, with Al Horford's buzzer-beating shot, the Hawks narrowed the gap to 3 points at the end of the third quarter.

The Hawks played very beautifully in this quarter, especially during the period when Wu Feng was off the court, they successfully narrowed the gap to single digits.

After Wu Feng returned to the court, the score difference narrowed to 3 points.

Now, the Eagles' momentum is completely rising.

As the final quarter begins, the decisive moment of the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals is here.

In the first few minutes, two or three main players were playing with rotation players on both sides.

Wu Feng was also resting off the court. He didn't play more than one game in this game tonight, especially in the second half.

…………

"Teag!" After Josh Smith grabbed the backcourt rebound, he yelled and passed the ball to Jeff Teague. He asked him to organize the team's fast attack.

After Jeff Teague received the ball, he did not dribble. Instead, he saw that Marvin Williams had already run out of the open position in the Heat's half, so he quickly passed the ball out.

"Beautiful!" Wu Feng said happily.

After Marvin Williams received the ball with both hands, he made a little adjustment and threw the ball out.

The Hawks' offensive and defensive conversion this time was very fast, and it took less than six seconds, and the ball did not last more than two seconds in the hands of any player.

"Swish", Marvin Williams' open three-pointer hit unexpectedly, and the Nets brought up when the basketball hits it, jumping like a wave in the air.

94:93, Marvin Williams' three-pointer directly helped the Hawks narrow the gap to 1 point.

Eric Spoelstra immediately called a timeout without hesitation, which was also the first timeout for both teams in the fourth quarter.

After Eric Spoelstra's timeout was over, Wu Feng, Cork Hinrich and Al Horford, only Cork Hinrich returned to the field.

At this time, the last quarter had already played four minutes and thirty-two seconds, which means that there were still seven minutes and twenty-eight seconds left before the end of the game.

The home team Heat also adjusted the roster after the timeout. Chris Bosh returned to the court.

As soon as he returned to the court, Chris Bosh received a pass from Mario Chalmos and shot a ball to try the feel.

"Clang", the sound of iron made Chris Bosh frown.

LeBron James used his strong body to squeeze Marvin Williams to grab the offensive rebound.

LeBron James made a shot from the basket, but still missed, and Josh Smith protected the backcourt rebounds.

The ball was passed to Cork Hinrich, who took the ball to the Heat's half.

"defence.defence,defence..." Heat fans saw that the team they supported missed the attack, but the opponent chased the points. They quickly shouted for defense.

Bosh misplaced defending Coke Hinrich, but his movements were a little slower when defending, so he was directly left behind by Cork Hinrich's change of direction.

After breaking through the first line of defense, Kork Hinrich took two more steps forward, but at this time, Joel Anthony stood up and stood in front of Kork Hinrich.

Cork Hinrich turned around, passed Joel Anthony again, and then threw the ball into the basket with a "swish" sound.

95:94, overtaken by 1 point, and the Hawks finally overtaken by 1 point.

Fans at the American Airlines Arena were worried when they saw this scene.

Several players on the Hawks' court suddenly exploded continuously, completely preventing Eric Spoelstra's tactical arrangement from working.

Now that Wu Feng has not played yet, the Hawks have surpassed by 1 point, this situation has made him very annoyed.

Fortunately, LeBron James' next two plus one stabilized the team's morale...

James hit the basket directly and made a beautiful layup, which not only avoided Zaza Pachulia's block, but also made a layup, causing Zaza Pachulia's defensive foul.

There was also a burst of cheers on the Heat's bench. Recently, they have been very distressed and depressed.

Seeing the scene on the court, Larry Drew on the Hawks began to get a little nervous. However, he was not worried too much, because Wu Feng and Al Horford were about to play.

After Cork Hinrich broke through, he passed the ball to Josh Smith who was slid from the bottom line.

However, Chris Bosh seemed to have seen through Cork Hinrich's passing route, and broke the ball earlier and then quickly passed it to Mario Chalmos.

Mario Chalmos dribbled quickly towards the Hawks halftime. At this moment, there were no Hawks players near him.

Anthony Morro tried his best to rush back, but Mario Chalmos started early and was not slow, so he did not catch up with Mario Chalmos.

Seeing Mario Chalmos make a layup, Eric Spoelstra and the fans of the Heat are all excited.

If this goal is scored, the Heat will regain the lead of three-pointers, which is too critical for the Heat.

However, Mario Chalmos' unmanned layup failed to hit. After turning the ball twice on the ring, it bounced out of the basket.

"**!" Heat fans swearing.

"Bang", Anthony Morrow, who had caught up from behind, grabbed the backcourt rebound tightly, and then passed the ball to Cork Hinrich in the frontcourt.

After Cork Hinrich received the ball, he quickly handed the ball to Josh Smith at the basket before the Heat players could not fully react.
