When there were only the last 6 minutes left in the game, Butler reduced the score difference to 7 points, and the Heat saw hope again-after all, the opposite teacher had just been replaced with 5 fouls, the balance of victory was obviously leaning towards the heat.
The heat is indeed a super tough team. They won 89 points in the fourth quarter of the playoffs (this figure shows the data before the fourth quarter of the last game, and the Heat lost 1 point in the fourth quarter of the last game)
But then, Caldwell-pop defended Butler’s attack twice in a row. Spoolstra knew very well that the Nuggets could only solve the problem through outside lines at this time, so he shouted at the field to let everyone defend key roles according to the previous deployment.
“I knew they were going to attack, so we specially arranged the defense against Murray. I would rather Murray broke through the siege and defeated us.”
This strange soldier who fell from the sky was Bruce Brown, the 11th of the Nuggets, a player who did not have a clear position on the court. He scored 11 points out of all 14 points of the Nuggets at the last 5 minutes 7 seconds: after a counterattack, Brown fined two and one. The remaining 8 points appeared within the last 2 minutes 36 seconds.

“I know they will definitely bag clip Murray, so coach Malone told me, ‘you go to hold the ball and hit them.’ the fourth quarter is my moment.” Brown said.
Although coach Malone had a calm expression and described his key gentleman with “full of aggressiveness”, “ability to rush” and “impressive”, he couldn’t hide his excitement when he returned to the dressing room, the first one pulled Brown out to praise:
“The first Bruce Brown, 21 points for the whole game, 11 points for the last quarter, well done!”
Brown’s rise was a surprise, and of course there was also coach Malone’s have the discerning eye.
In the 2022 playoffs, the messy lineup basketable nets was swept out by Celtics after 4 games. But Brown left a deep impression on Malone: he was the longest player outside of duo. At the age of 25, he filled up data statistics almost every time, and-“I saw his performance in defending Tatum and Braun, which was very surprising.”
Of course, if Malone regarded the Celtics as the imaginary enemy of the Nuggets in the finals a year ago, he would think too far. But Malone also saw another possibility of Brown-“He can hold the ball, play without the ball, and he can shoot.”
Therefore, the signing was logical. The Nuggets took out only 2 years and 13.2 million, and gave Brown a 1+1 contract. It can also be understood as the one-year test period that Brown gave himself-after all, the salary of this year is only half of what the outside world guessed (11 million).
Brown, who likes to laugh, has a fantastic beginning of his career: as a defensive No. 2 with a height of 1.93 meters, Brown’s independent scoring and three-point scoring ability are quite unqualified, in addition, the age of late reading is too old, so in the 2018 draft conference, only the 42nd order of the second round was mixed. Fortunately, the first team piston could afford the time, and the rookie season had 20 minutes per game.
In the summer of that year, Brown began to try to transform to No. 1 position. As a result, the piston was completely pushed down and rebuilt the next year. After Reggie Jackson was bought out, Brown unexpectedly became the team’s first-mover guard-of course, everyone knows that this is actually a bad behavior, although Brown played very hard, but in addition to the piston fans themselves and FBA players, most people still don’t know or care about his existence.
In fact, Brown played well. The piston columnist once wrote an article praising: Brown made everyone forget Reggie.
After the second year, the piston Xiti signed the high control guard hayeas on the 7th, plus the signing Rose (later, seven control guards were inserted in the piston array at one time), the value of Brown as a rotten engine was greatly reduced immediately. During the offseason, the team felt that there was no Brown’s position, so they directly changed him to basketable nets-the media and fans of the piston were not satisfied, basketable nets of the fans are even too lazy to wonder, what can a small defender who has signed and changed back in the second round do?
All the changes took place after Durant was injured. Brown was put on the front line by Nash. Brown, who knew that love fight would win the playing time, he won the trust of coach Nash with repeated card-fighting and empty-cutting layup and a restless smile. The following story spread all over the Internet in the 2021 playoffs: with 70 percent of the basket ending, Bruce Brown played the center position in the no center lineup basketable nets, he successfully squeezed out little Jordan and became a center who robbed the backboard in the front court to make up the basket and shunted the air. Nash was also very pleased with this and called Brown “1-5 swing man”.
We are always willing to praise this struggling little man with hard work and hard work, but the cruelty of competitive sports is never a sequel. In fact, Brown felt that Harden was the most comfortable teammate to fight with him, and after Harden and Nash left one after another, brown, who chose to stay at basketable nets, struggled abnormally-the other side of the coin was inferior. Brown, who could play number one and number five, could not play the other three positions at all. However, the problem of his poor shooting and insufficient height cannot be solved.
However, with the demolition of the basketable nets earthquake, as a jigsaw puzzle, he naturally had no need to leave. Brown, who realized that he was going to find a job again, called the agent at this time and clearly expressed his thoughts: for the team he wants to go to, it is better not to use him to play inside all the time (although this is the characteristic of his playing). He can take over the outside ball occasionally, but this team should have a clear organizer, he can play more without a ball, and can throw three or four three points per game, but it is better to give him a chance to hold the ball and play in singles.
The broker thought this requirement was a bit high and suggested him to wait, but his agent didn’t expect that Ma Long called soon, and a very excited sentence came as soon as he came up, “No one has signed Brown yet?”
The agent spoke out Brown’s appeal with fear. Unexpectedly, Ma Long’s laughter came from the opposite side, “Aren’t you talking about us?”
In this way, Bruce Brown and the Nuggets hit it off.
Malone said that he watched all the playoff sessions of Brown last year, but he noticed that Brown was not this time for the first time. He clearly remembered that in February 2020, he was sitting in the small Caesar center of the piston home court, when the epidemic had not spread. The Nuggets in Detroit lost to the piston in overtime. Jokic won three pairs with 39 points, but what was more amazing was Brown, who appeared on the opposite bench. He played for 38 minutes, scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.
“I’m going to decide this boy.” Malone said to himself, “being his coach will definitely feel great.”
Seriously speaking, all the demands of Brown, the whole alliance is really only the most suitable for nuggets. He has a slightly strange position. It is difficult to find a suitable system in other teams of the league. But the Nuggets’s dual-core jokki and Murray usually do not work in their position, so Brown can really plug and play, in the words of Malone and jokki, don’t care what position they write you in. It’s enough for you to play your most comfortable basketball.
The wonderful chemical reaction came into being like this: Brown’s decent ability to control transportation can relieve Murray’s pressure, and he can also give Murray a ball-free assist in the reverse direction at the same time; during Murray’s rest, Brown can also fully break off the outer line with jokiki, or when jokiki holds the ball low, he can immediately follow him to run an empty cut.
And he and pop are responsible for the peripheral defense, and they can also work in the air like little PROTONIC Gordon. More importantly, his shooting is getting better, this season can score 1.1 three-point goals per game, with a hit rate of 35.8 percent.
And he was deeply praised for the end of the insider in basketable nets, with a hit rate of 70% in those two years. But in nuggets, this number is 81.3%!
This is a perfectly evolved version of Brown, a piece of the best puzzle for the Crown.
He also did what Malone wanted him to do most.
For the Lakers in the Western finals, Malone fixed the breakthrough of the opponent on Russell, the guard. Brown undertook the task of locking Russell, and at the same time, he continuously attacked Russell on the offensive end. The result is obvious: Russell only scored 6.3 points in the four games, with a hit rate of, and even was frozen in the last quarter, while Brown on the opposite side averaged 12 points in the four games, the hit rate is as high as 52%.
A small role with an annual salary of 7 million, beat an all-star with a salary of 30 million to a fracture
“We killed him,” Malone said. “they dare not bring their good players up in the fourth quarter, which is so interesting.”
Then, it is the finals.
So, is it Brown who chose the right team and just embraced all his weaknesses?
No.
Think back to the last three goals: holding the ball and throwing three points, which are not the skills Brown used to be good at. In the piston and basketable nets, Brown was not competent for this moment.
But now, he can. He used the technology he was not good at before to shine the most dazzling light at the most important moment.

At the end of the game, he was full of excitement and spoke out the words that had been hidden for a long time–
“When I first entered the league, I couldn’t shoot at all. I had no confidence and had been criticized all the time. Every time I throw a vacant shot, I will be criticized. My confidence has been hit hard and every game is suffering. What I can do is to go to the training hall and practice hard day by day. These things are now displayed on the biggest stage.”
“Thank you, my teammates. They have been cheering for me. They cheer for every goal. I feel my time is coming!”
Let’s say this sentence again-work hard and keep improving. Because sweat always helps you find a way out.
Everything you want will come true.
