A goodbye wave to the Oklahoma City audience. Tyler Herro just signed the winning shot for the Heat, five seconds from the end of the game against the Thunder. The full-back had to create his own shot, in isolation, starting on his right hand and stopping halfway to send a clean shot.
” The system was designed for me to shoot. It was one-on-one so I didn’t think I had the advantage “Assures the hero of the evening, defended on possession by Aaron Wiggins. The latter held his dribble well but struggled to challenge the shot.
” I went to my zone. coach (Erik Spoelstra) and Kyle (Lowry) wanted me to get the ball up high (of the racket) and that I shoot as late as possible. I tried to save time on the stopwatch and was able to get to my zone, get up and convert “, Still describes the back, to whom this last shot was logically due to return, due to the absence of Jimmy Butler.
His coach sees it as proof of a ” absolute composure in the last moments. We played a pick-and-roll, we were able to generate space and he read the defense. Every game is different, every situation is different. You can’t always say ‘Hey, you have to attack and try to reach the circle’. It depends. »
Another decisive shot
It also depends on the goodwill of the person concerned. At the beginning of November, he had beaten the Kings in a similar context but at 3-pointers. There it is now, as Erik Spoelstra puts it, with a “ winning shot in ‘pull-up’. He will probably end up making a layup of the win or free throws. It’s part of the evolution of a very gifted attacking player. But we really respect his composure. He wants to play these situations and he starts to accumulate experience in these moments. »
His decisive shot concluded a very good evening in terms of shooting. So beautiful that he finished with a career high with 9 3-point baskets and 35 points (12/23 on shots including 9/17 from afar). We will remember the many extra-passes in the game of the Heat, including Duncan Robinson (14 points with 4/8 from afar) and benefited him.
” It feels good, but above all it feels good to win. We were trying to win our first two consecutive away games this year and we did. “, Welcomes Herro who came out of a very small game at 8 points in the victory on the floor of the Pacers, two days earlier.
