The fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially began.
Miami Heat's home court.
The atmosphere at the American Airlines Arena was on the verge of exploding with excitement.
Winning the third game of the series not only restored confidence to the players of the Miami Heat but also reignited hope for the Miami people.
They saw the possibility of a comeback!
And if they could overturn the 0-2 deficit against Su Wan and the New York Knicks, it would truly be...
But before they could indulge in more imagination, reality hit them hard once the game started. The "slap" sound left them dizzy.
The New York Knicks implemented the "misplacement isolation" tactic against Kevin Love's mobility right from the start.
The Miami Heat didn't initially realize it, and by the time they did, Kevin Love was already breathless from Su Wan and Stephen Curry's isolation plays, consuming a lot of physical energy.
