So foolish! Dragging and injuring Mr. 83 points! Heat coach angrily criticizes Ball.

Ball made a layup with 4.7 seconds left for a quasi-game-winner, and Bridges sealed the win with a buzzer-beating block.

The Hornets defeated the Heat 127-126 at home and will face the loser between the 7th and 8th seeds in the East in another play-in game to compete for the 8th seed playoff spot.

Hornets stats as follows:

Ball aggressively shot 12 out of 31 attempts, resulting in 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists; the super rookie Kneiper failed to perform at the expected level, shooting 2 out of 12 for only 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, with a plus-minus of -20, the lowest in the game.

Heat stats as follows:

Our homegrown star Zui Ge exhausted himself, playing about 42 minutes, shooting 10 out of 18 efficiently, exploding for 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Actually, this game was highly controversial, mainly because in the second quarter Ball pulled Adebayo's heel causing him to fall and get injured, leading to his immediate exit from the game, and the referees made no call...

Such a poor move subjected Ball to heavy criticism, and Heat coach Spo even went online to angrily criticize that such a petty trick was completely unnecessary, quite dangerous, and foolish, and should have resulted in an immediate ejection.

As for Ball, after the game he did not avoid the related issues but publicly apologized to Adebayo, while explaining that he was hit in the head at that moment and didn't know his position, leading to the tragic incident. The "victim" Adebayo has not accepted any interviews temporarily.

Regardless, Adebayo & the Heat's season journey has ended. During this period, Adebayo played 73 games, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, contributing 20.1 points, 10 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 44.2%, achieving his first career average of 20+10. On March 11th this year, Adebayo against the Wizards shot 20 out of 43, with free throws 36 out of 43, wildly scoring 83 points, ranking second in NBA history for single-game scoring.

By this summer offseason, Adebayo is expected to welcome another All-Star partner following Butler.

爆料王Shams:The Heat will continue to pursue Giannis and any star possibly available for trade, using Herro and others along with a large number of draft picks as筹码.

Mr. 83 points + the Greek Freak, the league's strongest twin towers are on the way.
