"This is obviously a malicious foul! Carl's iron elbow hit Dwyane's head. Dwyane was completely unprepared for this time. This was obviously a malicious elbow!"

Off the court, Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy jumped up in a hurry. Although Wade's performance in this round of series was very bleak, Wade was the star of the Heat after all.

Even if you play an empty cut on the ball, it can greatly attract the Timberwolves' defensive attention. Once Wade leaves the court due to injury, it will definitely be a disaster for the Heat!

Everyone knows that Carl Malone has the habit of elbowing his opponent when defending. Not to mention the referee, even the fans know that Carl Malone is just an elbow-strike maniac.

At his peak, Carl Malone even opened his wrestling with the "Flower Bug" Rodman on the court. If you really want to talk about physical confrontation, the NBA has dropped a lot now.

At least according to the previous penalty standards, Carl Malone's defense this time can only be considered an ordinary foul, but the Heat are currently feeling a little excited, and the referee has no choice but to come to the replay center to redefine the foul.

Through the replay, the referee finally added a first-level malicious foul on Carl Malone. The reason for the addition was not because Carl Malone deliberately elbowed this time, but because the referee wanted to calm his emotions.

In fact, from the perspective of replay, Malone's defense this time was completely running towards the ball. As for the iron elbow opening, this has always been Carl Malone's subconscious action.

A malicious foul at the first level will not let Carl Malone be expelled, but will give the Heat the opportunity to throw two free throws.

However, even so, the Heat are still dissatisfied with the penalty and are broken by the current situation.

Because Wade is currently in a dizzy state and cannot play at all, and has been helped by the team doctor and is expected to return in this game.

It is hard to say whether Wade will miss the next game, but once Wade is found out after the game, Wade will definitely miss this year's finals.

………

Wade's accidental injury caused a huge blow to the Heat's morale. Even though the Heat had the opportunity to score two free throws and one by one, Wade's outcome made the Heat, which had a poor lineup depth, even worse.

Originally, there were not many people available on the back line. With Shanton Anderson's nose fracture, the only major rotation players on the back line, except for the double Jones, are Wade and Kenyon and Dulin.

Now that Wade has unexpectedly left the game due to injury, Stan Van Gundy can only helplessly promote Kenyon Dulin to start, but even if Kenyon Dulin is strong, he cannot be compared with Wade.

Wade's performance in this round of the series was very bad, but Wade's personal ability was there after all. As an empty cutter without the ball, Wade's defense that can attract is also far greater than Dulin.

"Dudu~"

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Timberwolves finally beat the Heat 19 points away, rewriting the total score of the series to 2     :                                    

Through these matches, it can be clearly seen that the Heat were completely at a disadvantage in this round of the series, and the Heat have never been able to break through the Timberwolves' defensive gate.

In G2, O'Neal showed his might and led the Heat to win a victory by chance. In the third game, when Luke completed the formation change again on the defensive end, all the Heat could do was to keep trying to attack from the outside and try to win the game through their feel.

However, the Heat have never been an excellent three-point team. Except for the Double Jones, the shooting ability of others in the entire Heat is simply terrible. In this case, the Heat naturally find it difficult to break through the Timberwolves' defense.

We can only rely on Wade and O'Neal to break the deadlock through personal abilities, which will create a vicious cycle on the field.

Wade and O'Neal have been targeted by the Timberwolves, but when the Heat could not open the situation on the outside, the Heat could only rely on the stars to score. In the end, Wade and O'Neal both had low offensive efficiency and led the team to lose the game without any surprise.

…………

"Coach, I seem to see the championship beckoning us. Do you think we are stable in this round of series?"

"The defensive tactics you have laid out cannot be cracked at all. On the defensive end, the Heat cannot limit us. No matter how you look at our winning range, we are far higher than the Heat."

"I just don't know if I can win the championship this year or not!"

In the players' locker room, even Kevin Garnett, who was so close to the championship for the first time in his career, couldn't help but start to fantasize about standing in the middle of the court, holding the championship trophy in one hand and the MVP trophy in the other!

"Don't be careless before the series is really over, but if you can really win the FMVP this year, you will become the fourth player in NBA history to receive this honor."

"After thinking about it this way, I'm really interested." I imagined this scene according to the words of his disciple Garnett, and even Luke couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the long history of the NBA, so far, only three NBA players have achieved the honor of winning three MVPs in a single season.

These three are "ancient god" Willis Reed, "basketball god" Michael Jordan, and "big shark" O'Neal.

As for the three MVPs, they are AMVP (All-Star), MVP (Regular Season) and FMVP (Finals).

If Garnett can really win the MVP of the Finals this year, then Garnett is the true season of the Gods, and can even challenge the league's first player throne that is still empty since O'Neal's decline!

………

The fourth game of the finals is still at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Before the game, Heat star Dwyane Wade was diagnosed with a mild concussion and will miss the game.

Wade's absence instantly reduced the Heat's combat effectiveness by a level of slight decline. This team relies on Wade and O'Neal to use their personal abilities to drive other teammates.

When Wade and O'Neal themselves were too busy, the others were like waste products without motivation, and their combat effectiveness on the field was also reduced.

However, Wade's absence is more like the Heat's last fig leaf. After all, even if Wade is on the court, it will be difficult for the Heat to win the game, and it is more embarrassing in terms of face than now.

The Heat still cannot break the Timberwolves' defense in this game. With Garnett's excellent assisted defense ability, O'Neal seemed very uncomfortable to play singles at low posts. Sometimes, Garnett could not even get the ball and was cut off early.

This scene reminds O'Neal of the pain he had when he was in the Lakers Finals against the Pistons last season.

This was the case with O'Neal's fight against the Pistons in the finals last year. Ben Wallace fought against O'Neal behind him, and Rashid Wallace kept harassing O'Pang on the ball, making O'Pang unable to catch the ball comfortably.

However, this year's Timberwolves are more amazing than last year's Pistons. Garnett's assisting ability is far stronger than Rashid Wallace, which also makes O'Neal's response even more trouble.

He clearly has an advantage at a low position, but he just can't play an advantage. O'Neal now even wants to strangle Luke!

But before strangling Luke, O'Neal wanted to strangle Stan Van Gundy, because this guy was clearly a useless guy!

After the whole game, the Timberwolves once again beat the Heat away. They took the lead in getting the match point to rewrite the total score of the series to 3: 1, the Timberwolves only lost two games in the playoffs this year.
Chapter completed!
