Joerger reacted quickly and put Carter in for Guy, but still couldn't contain Wade's performance.
In the first few games of the Finals, Wade's presence seemed much weaker than last season.
On one hand, it was due to the improvement of Hansen's defensive skills, which made it difficult for him to play at full strength; on the other hand, the irreversible knee injury meant he couldn't achieve the same peak performance rate.
In fact, after Hansen switched to defend Durant in the previous game, Wade's performance had warmed up, scoring 26 points, but that wasn't enough to help the Heat win.
The Heat had their backs against the wall tonight, and he stepped up right from the start.
Seeing the situation worsen, Joerger brought Hansen back to guard Wade.
By then, Wade had heated up, defying Hansen's defense with a turnaround fadeaway jumper that scored a tough 2+1.
This sent the Heat's bench into a frenzy.
