Kenny Smith suggested a theory: "Perhaps that cool feeling actually made them feel comfortable, making them less thirsty!"
Shaquille O'Neal said: "From the perspective of anger, the New York Knicks must be angrier than the Miami Heat team. The air conditioning malfunction and the opponent's arrangement of cold towels, these are all reasons for the Knicks' anger!"
"I was teammates with Su Wan for two seasons, and I know very well this will make his conviction even tougher, he's that kind of guy!"
But what happened next on the court made Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal eat their words.
Facts proved that constant cooling was effective, especially nearing the end of the first half when the Heat team's condition remained good, while the New York Knicks felt like their chests were burning like fire.
This affected the shooters' condition.
Su Wan's state also showed some ups and downs.
The first half ended with the Heat team catching up, trail just 1 point behind.
