Chapter 331 The Criminal (10000 words)
"I know what to do, coach!" Green nodded heavily, lowered his voice, and said without hesitation.

He turned his head quietly, glanced at James, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and added:
"Dare to hurt Kahuai, I will make him look good!"

Zhang Yu had a panoramic view of Green's expression, and was very satisfied with his reaction. He nodded slightly, but asked in his mouth:
"Drummond, he's James, a superstar, don't you worry about him retaliating against you?"

Green grinned and looked at Zhang Yu, showing his white teeth:
"I don't care who he is! Coach, I'm a Warriors player, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Zhang Yu patted Green on the shoulder:

"Very good! You have to be measured later, don't hit too hard, remember, our purpose is not to disable people, but to give James a warning, so that he will not hurt people again, understand?"

"No problem, Coach, I've seen too many of these things on Saginaw's field, and I know it well." Green nodded.

A smile finally appeared on Zhang Yu's face:
"Go, don't keep your teammates waiting."

……

In the CCTV5 studio, the broadcast screen was switched back to the field. Yu Jia looked at the players from both sides returning to the field and said:

"The Heat didn't make any adjustments, it was still the lineup just now, but there was a substitution on the Warriors' side. Zhang Yu replaced Leonard, replaced Klay, and returned to the starting lineup at the beginning of the game."

Zhang Weiping said:
"Zhang Yu wants to keep the offense. In the past few minutes, the Warriors fell into a scoring shortage. He replaced the shooter and Leonard, who was effective against James. He wanted to stabilize the score and didn't want the Heat to lose in the third quarter. At the end of the game, we overtook the score and entered the fourth quarter after the momentum."

On the sidelines, Spoelstra also noticed the Warriors' substitution. He immediately called Wade back who had walked not far away, and ordered:
"Don't pinch Curry later, if he plays a pick-and-roll, switch defenses."

Wade nodded, returned to the court, and informed his teammates of his arrangement.

This was an adjustment made by Spoelstra during the intermission, but Zhang Yu left Clay on the bench in the third quarter, and he followed suit and continued to pinch Curry.

It’s just that the Heat’s flanking effect in the third quarter was not good. Leonard’s off-ball running ability is far inferior to Clay’s, but he practiced hard for fixed-point three-pointers in the summer, especially the open three-pointers from the two bottom corners. High, as long as he stands in the bottom corner and opens up space as a spot-up shooter, the Warriors' four-on-three can still achieve very good results.

In the third quarter, Spoelstra allowed the Heat players facing Leonard to shrink the defense many times, giving him an open shot.

He didn't believe that a rookie with such an excellent defense is also so accurate in spot-up shooting. Could it be that Ronan can really turn a stone into gold, pick a rookie at random, and cultivate a high-quality 3D with both potential and immediate combat power?

Facts have proved that Spoelstra underestimated Leonard. He punished the Heat for emptying him with two three-pointers. This is also the key reason why the Warriors can maintain their lead in an unfavorable penalty environment.

Now he was replaced by Zhang Yu, and the famous shooter Clay played. Spoelstra learned his lesson and dared not pinch Curry.

He doesn't want to repeat the mistake of falling behind by 14 points in the first half, and he wants to maintain the current good situation.

On the court, when Spoelstra's inner thoughts were surging, the Warriors sent a sideline ball. After Curry received the ball, he played a pick-and-roll with Green.

Then, Curry was surprised to find that the Heat didn't double-team him, and Bosh switched directly in front of him.

This made Curry a little unexpected, but he immediately came to his senses, and instead of hitting Bosh directly, he beckoned to Chandler.

Curry wants to test it out, where is the bottom line for the Heat to switch defenses.

Soon, Chandler came to the top of the arc, set a screen for Curry, and blocked Bosh firmly behind him. Bosh didn't squeeze the screen, and directly switched defenses with Joel Anthony.

After finishing the screen, Chandler immediately turned and went down, took Bosh away, and left the space at the top of the arc to Curry. The other Warriors players also scattered to prevent the Heat from having a chance to help defend.

Facing Joel Anthony, who was nervous and even a little at a loss, Curry just changed his direction in front of him and made a breakthrough, scaring him back a big step. Curry immediately stood up and threw a A three-pointer is recorded, Joel Anthony's attack is slow, and the basketball goes into the net.

85: 79.

"Hey! It's time to play again. Curry really dared to shoot, and he threw a three-pointer against a big tall man... Oh, don't tell me, it's really amazing, and it really made a shot! What about this ball? , It’s actually not reasonable, but this is Curry’s personal ability, you really can’t guard against him, if he comes to vote, it’s very reasonable!” Zhang Weiping praised loudly.

Yu Jia said:

"Curry's ability to play small and big is a must. It seems that Zhang Yu's substitutions have achieved results. Clay's appearance made the Heat afraid to pinch Curry again. Spoelstra didn't want to give the Warriors four on three. The opportunity is here, the Heat were defeated by the Warriors' team offense in the first half."

On the court, the rounds were changed, the Heat were attacking, and James directly took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt. Amid the boos of the Warriors fans, he looked calm and even had a slight smile on his face.

In the third quarter, he showed his power and led the team to tie the score. It was the time when he was at his most powerful, in good condition and full of confidence.

James dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, but was surprised to find that it was not Butler who was defending him by the Warriors. Green stopped in front of him, opened his hands, and looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes full of provocation.

He looked up and saw that Butler was close to Bosh, and the two were entangled fiercely in the low post. Bosh wanted to get stuck in a favorable position and opened his hands for the ball, but Butler tried his best to go around and cut off the ball. The passing lane between James and Bosh.

Yu Jia said in surprise:
"The Warriors changed their matchup. Zhang Yu asked Green to guard against James and arranged for Butler to go up against Bosh. He defended a dislocation. It can be seen that Butler's confrontation is far inferior to Bosh. He was at a disadvantage when he was stuck. Bosh There is even a chance for low singles!"

On the sidelines, Spoelstra also saw the change in the Warriors' defensive alignment. His eyes lit up and he immediately yelled at James:
"LeBron!"

After James turned his head to look at Spoelstra, he patted his right temple with his hand. This gesture meant to give the ball to Bosh, and he would attack in the low post.

James nodded slightly, looked away, looking for the angle to lob the ball to Bosh, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught Green's disdainful smile, a smile that made him feel very uncomfortable.

He moved his eyes down and looked at Green. Green noticed his gaze, stepped back suddenly, and shouted in feigned surprise:
"Soft, you don't dare to attack when you see me guarding you, don't you? Pass the ball to your real 'boss', after all, you can't get on Barea who is less than 6 feet (1.83 meters) Points—you soft bastard who only dares to bully rookies, I can guarantee that you won't even get 8 points in front of me!"

Green put an emphasis on the last two words, and his body relaxed even more. He straightened up and looked at James contemptuously, with a playful smile on his face.

boom!
An evil fire rose from the bottom of James' heart and rushed directly to the top of his head. His pupils shrank suddenly, and all the muscles in his body trembled slightly. Looking at Green who had an extremely contemptuous attitude in front of him, a wave of fire wanted to kill him. The tyrannical emotions that were completely torn apart spread and dominated his reason.

He's heard a lot of trash talk, but he's never been as angry as he is today.

Green dared to humiliate him with 8 points in a single game in the finals, saying that he is a softie, that he is not the boss of this Heat team!

In one sentence, Green humiliated him severely with the three things he didn't want to mention when he ran to Miami to form a group, couldn't openly compete with Wade for team status, and scored 8 points in a single game in the finals!
Looking at Green's dark face full of disdain, James felt that there had never been anyone in the world he hated more than Green. He immediately forgot about Spoelstra's arrangement and swung his left hand hard. , rudely motioning his teammates to open up space, he wants to teach this ignorant thing a lesson!

When Bosh saw James' gesture, he was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he forgot about the dispute with Butler, allowing Butler to easily go around him and block between him and James.

However, after he reacted, he didn't have the intention of continuing to compete with Butler for the position, but ran to the left corner silently to open up space.

Bosh clearly saw the fury in James' eyes, knowing that he would definitely play the ball by himself, so he simply stopped doing useless work.

On the sidelines, Spoelstra frowned when he saw James beckoning others to move away, and Bosh gave up his position. He was very puzzled that James suddenly changed his plan and wanted to single Green.

From his perspective, he couldn't see the change in James' expression, nor could he hear Green's trash talk from the loud noise of the Oracle Center.

But since James wants to play singles, Spoelstra can only let him do what he does. He waved his big hands to both sides, signaling that the rest of the Heat should disperse and create space for James to play singles.

Soon, only James and Green were left at the top of the arc. Green pulled his shorts with both hands, separated his legs, sank his center of gravity, grinned, showed his white teeth, and said:
"That's right, don't make me look down on you!"

James stared at Green with a distorted expression, smiled coldly, then slapped the ball hard with his right hand, took a big step, and rushed towards Green!
zizi——

Amidst the sharp friction between the soles of the shoes and the wooden floor, James rushed into the inside line of the Warriors with a gust of wind. Exactly the same action when elbowing Leonard!

But Green didn't stand up to defend like Leonard. He took half a step back, avoiding James' powerful blow, but was brought to his chest by the elbow, and he didn't fall down. Therefore, it is half a body behind James.

Green's evasion allowed James to successfully break through his block and rush to the paint area. Green could only follow James' footsteps sideways, unable to block his speed and create opportunities for the Warriors' follow-up defense.

James glanced at Green contemptuously, then turned his head, strode towards the Warriors penalty area, leaped high, swung his right arm backwards, like a roc spreading its wings, and in the next moment, he was about to perform a ground-breaking battle ax attack buckle.

At this moment, Green also flew up, raised his left hand high, and moved towards the basketball in James' hand to block the block.

But James was half a body ahead of him, fast and took off before him. Even though Green tried his best to straighten his arms, he still couldn't reach the basketball, and his left hand barely passed the top of James' head.

But Green didn't mean to stop at all. He looked ferocious, clenched his teeth, stared at the basketball, and swung his left hand down hard!
Snapped!
Just when James was about to slam the basketball into the basket, Green's left hand slapped James' face hard, making a crisp bang!

James immediately lost his balance and fell from the air. Green's body also threw himself on James. He waved his left hand, spread his five fingers, and swiped down hard. His index finger poked James' eyes, and James' head tilted back. , eyes closed tightly, facial features shrunk into a ball, and fell directly to the ground.

Green was shocked, as if he hadn't thought that his block would cause such a consequence, he hurriedly made a protective movement with his right hand, and held James so that he didn't fall directly to the ground.

After landing on the ground, James staggered two steps, then fell to the ground, covering his left eye with his right hand, and hammered the ground with his left hand, making a muffled "bang bang" sound, showing an expression of extreme pain.

"Fack! Are you fucking going to kill someone?!" After James landed, Bosh rushed over, pushed Green hard, and questioned angrily.

Green raised his hands high, put on an innocent expression, followed the direction of Bosh's force, took a big step back, and said loudly:

"Hey man, calm down, you should be able to see that I didn't mean to..."

"Nonsense! You did it on purpose. You can't block the ball. You're aiming at LeBron!" Wade also rushed over and said angrily.

"Hey, calm down, Dwayne, Drummond is not such a person..." Curry ran from the side, stopped in front of Green, and loudly discouraged.

"That's right, Chris, calm down..." Chandler stopped Bosh from approaching Green.

Bosh only had Green in his eyes. He pushed Chandler roughly and shouted:
"Fake! Go away, it's none of your business, I'm going to settle accounts with this kid..."

Snapped!
Chandler slapped Bosh's hand away with his backhand, his eyes widened, his beard trembled, and he said coldly:
"You better keep your mouth clean, this is Oakland, this is Oracle Center, not Miami!"

Butler also surrounded him, standing in front of Green, squinting his eyes, staring at Joel Anthony who was rushing over, and clenched his fists quietly.

The benches of the two teams were also boiling. Leonard saw Green put James to the ground, and the scene of Zhang Yu holding Green to talk in a low voice during the timeout just now appeared in his mind, and he immediately understood why Green did this.

He stood up abruptly, took big steps, and was about to rush towards the crowd, but was hugged by Zhang Yu:
"Leonard, calm down, it's not Drummond who suffers!"

"Di-di-di-di-"

At this moment, Stafford blew his whistle, and three referees rushed over, stopped in the middle, separated the players from both sides, and barely calmed down the conflict.

Bosh was held tightly by Shane Battier, and he roared unrelentingly:
"Sir, this is a very bad act of hurting people. It is a malicious foul. You should expel this murderer!"

Stafford gave Green a disgusted look, and said:

"There is no doubt that this is a malicious foul. I will watch the replay immediately to determine the level of this foul!"

Bosh nodded fiercely:

"Yes, this is definitely a criminal..."

"Di-"

Before Bosh finished speaking, Stafford blew the whistle again, raised his right hand into a palm, poked the palm of his left hand hard, and then pointed hard at Bosh.

Technical foul!
Bosh froze for a moment, then straightened his neck and protested loudly:

"I didn't do anything, why did you give me a technical offender..."

As soon as he spoke halfway, he was dragged away by Battier and Wade who had calmed down.

They are all old fritters. They know that Stafford is bragging about Bosh pushing Green. This kind of aggressive physical contact will definitely be called a technical foul. Bosh has nothing to say to the referee now. Useful, if he dares to entangle, Stafford may give Bosh a second technical foul in order to control the chaotic situation, and directly expel him from the game, that is not worth the candle
When Bosh was pulled away, the scene was under control. The Warriors surrounded Green and returned to the bench. The Heat surrounded James, watching the team doctor check James' injury with concern. The referee It was around the technical stage, carefully watching the slow-motion replay of Green's foul on James from all angles.

Around the court, the Warriors fans stood up and booed James harshly. On the big screen in mid-air, Green's foul round against James was constantly played, and he also "intimately" added In the round where Leonard "blocked the foul" on James, the two clips were played repeatedly, making the boos in the audience even stronger.

"James, this is retribution!"

"If you have the ability, try elbowing Leonard again, I won't kill you!"

"A softie who only knows how to report to the group, don't even think about playing wild in Oracle!"

"Drummond, well done, you are doing well!"

"Green! Green! Green!"

In the end, I don't know who took the lead, people began to shout Green's name loudly, and gradually more people joined in, and finally, all the Warriors fans in the arena shouted Green's name in unison, forming a majestic crowd Sound waves, sweeping the Quartet!
……

On the Warriors' bench, Green was surrounded by his teammates. He couldn't help grinning when he heard the audience shouting his name.

Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and said:

"Drummond, I know you didn't mean it. Be careful in the future and don't make such a big move again."

"I see, coach." Green nodded again and again, and the complacency on his face subsided a little.

"Boss, I think Drummond did the right thing, so I should give him a hard time. He used his elbow to clear the way several times..." Butler said angrily.

Chandler, who received two fouls on James in the third quarter, said very relieved:
"Hmph, James made several fouls and dribbled the ball, but the referee didn't blow it. If it wasn't for Drummond, he doesn't know how long he would be arrogant..."

"Drummond, thank you for standing up for me." Leonard leaned closer to him and whispered, a rare look of gratitude appeared on his face that hadn't changed for thousands of years.

Green covered his mouth with a towel and whispered:

"We are brothers, this is what I should do, if you want to thank, thank the coach..."

The guess in Leonard's heart was verified. He turned his eyes and saw Zhang Yu smiling at him. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He just nodded solemnly.

it is more than words.

After Zhang Yu and Leonard looked at each other, they looked away without any trace, and looked at everyone:
"Okay, you guys take a break first, I'll go over there and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the referee team who were discussing the penalty in front of the technical platform.

Stafford saw Zhang Yu approaching, and he signaled to the technical referee in charge of the replay system to pause the replay, and said with a serious face:

"Sir, we are watching the replay of the game, please don't interfere with the work of the referee team!"

Facing Stratford with a cold attitude, Zhang Yu raised his hands, indicating that he was not malicious, and smiled:
"I have no other meaning, I just want to remind you that this is the Oracle Center, our home stadium, I implore you to consider the feelings of my players and the fans at the scene, their emotions are a little agitated, and This game will be televised across the United States - this is the only suggestion I have made to the referee team in this game."

Stafford frowned, and just about to say something, Zhang Yu turned and left.

His eyes flickered a few times, then he turned to look at the referee on the technical stage, signaling him to continue playing the replay.

After reading it carefully, Stafford took off his earphones, referee No. 3 Nick Buchter made a gesture, looked at Stafford with searching eyes, and said:

"Do you want to expel the Warriors No. 23 directly?"

Stafford thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head:

"No, give him a flagrant first-degree foul."

Bucht said in surprise:

"Derek, are we going to let him go like this?"

"This is an unnecessary action, but it is not an excessive action. Warrior No. 23 also made a protective action at the end, so let's set it as a first-level action." Stafford said.

Seeing that the referee made a decision, Buchter and another referee No. 31, Scott Wall, could only obey. Stafford quickly announced the penalty. After the broadcast by the live announcer, the audience There were cheers on the ground, and the shout of "referee sucks" disappeared completely.

After announcing the penalty, Stafford looked at Zhang Yu who was smiling at him, nodded slightly, looked away, blew the whistle, and called the players from both sides back to the field.

Stafford did have a certain task in this game, but it was not biased towards one side, but to make the game as intense and anxious as possible.

That's why he leaned towards the Heat when the Heat were behind by a big score, turning a blind eye to James' walks and elbows.

In doing so, Stafford complied with the referee committee's instructions and provided James with the care befitting his superstar status.

After Green's foul just now, Stafford's first thought was to directly call a second-level malicious foul, expel Green from the field, and teach this young player who dared to contradict him a good lesson, let him know that he must never offend the referee.

However, Zhang Yu's words reminded Stafford that this is the home court of the Warriors. His whistleblowing just now was very biased, and he did not take care of the Warriors playing at home, which made the Warriors players and the audience very dissatisfied. If it is biased towards the Heat, it is likely to cause the scene to lose control.

This doesn't just refer to the player's own emotional loss of control. Stafford heard the implicit meaning in Zhang Yu's words. If he continues to favor the Heat, Zhang Yu will definitely instruct the Warriors players to do something, causing the situation to get out of control. If he can't get off the stage during the national live broadcast, then he will definitely be criticized and accused by the league referee committee when he goes back.

If it was another head coach, Stafford might not have taken his threats to heart, but Zhang Yu is not only the head coach of the Warriors, but also the owner of the Warriors. Stafford has no doubts about Zhang Yu's control over the Warriors. , since he said it, he can definitely do it.

Moreover, Zhang Yu's last sentence was very clear. He had no objection to all the penalties before this game. This was the only time he made a request for a penalty. Stafford must give him this face.

Of course, Stafford can not give it, but he will inevitably come to the Oracle Center to call off games in the future. Although Zhang Yu dare not show any disrespect to the referee, as a local snake, he has plenty of ways to cause trouble for Stafford .

Stafford did not dare to make his own decision on whistles that favored the visiting team like today. If the referee committee asked him to whistle in accordance with normal standards, Stafford would have to take care of the Warriors on the court while being put on by the Warriors off the court. Home field advantage, he felt sick just thinking about it.

Therefore, Stafford felt that the Heat had taken care of them enough in the third quarter. This time, Green was sentenced to a first-level malicious foul, and the normal penalty standard can be restored afterwards.

……

On the Heat's bench, the players were all around James. The team doctor was checking James' injuries. Green slapped him heavily on the face, but it didn't cause too serious consequences, but he was poked by Green in the left eye. Afterwards, the capillaries ruptured, the corners of the eyes were congested, and the eyes were bloodshot and bright red.

When the live announcer announced that Green was sentenced to a first-degree flagrant foul, the Heat players stopped doing it and surrounded Stafford to protest, but Stafford was unmoved and insisted on his penalty. I can only return bitterly.

The Heat doctor asked:

"LeBron, can you still see? Any intense discomfort or swelling in your left eye?"

James raised his head slightly, accepted the team doctor's examination, gasped heavily, and said in a muffled voice:

"I feel black in front of my left eye, and I can see things a bit blurry."

The team doctor nodded, turned to Spoelstra and said:

"Eric, I suggest that LeBron go back to the locker room for a detailed examination. He injured his left eye. We must treat his injury carefully."

"I feel that I'm actually fine, it's just that my eyes are a little dark, maybe I can take a rest." James interjected.

He didn't want to go back to the locker room, he wanted to go back to the court, beat the Warriors with his own hands, and avenge Green's poke.

Spoelstra shook his head and said:
"No, LeBron, we can't take any chances, you have to go back to the locker room and check."

His face was very ugly, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

How did the Heat beat the Warriors without James on the court?

……

When James stood at the free throw line and executed a malicious foul free throw, he was greeted with boos.

Warriors fans don't care whether James is a superstar or a little emperor. They only support Warriors players. They don't have any favors for James who elbowed Leonard. He had no sympathy for his injury.

Fans are always the simplest.

Amidst the boos, James' free throw bounced out of the frame, and cheers suddenly erupted in the audience.

Subsequently, James, accompanied by the team doctor, returned to the locker room for further detailed examination.

In the CCTV5 studio, Yu Jia said:
"James went straight back to the locker room after taking the free throw. It can also be clearly seen from the camera that his left eye is covered with bloodshot eyes. It seems that his injury is more serious."

Zhang Weiping said dissatisfiedly:

"This kind of thing happened on the court because the referee's ability to control the court was not good. If the referee hadn't been so hot before, Green would definitely not be unable to control his emotions and make such an aggressive action. Now it's better, James directly Go back to the locker room, and you may not be able to come back later, this game is going to be anticlimactic."

"Do you think the Heat can't compete with the Warriors without James?" Yu Jia asked.

Zhang Weiping nodded and said:

"That's right, we all saw how the Heat played when James was off the court in the second quarter. They were not the Warriors' opponents at all. If James can't come back soon, the Heat will have an account of this game."

When the two analyzed the situation of the game, Curry hit a technical foul free throw, the score came to 86:79, and then the Heat sent a sideline kick to start the offense.

After James went off, Spoelstra replaced Chalmers and Battier returned to the small forward position.

Chalmers dribbled the ball and passed it to Wade.

Without James, Wade must stand up and take over the Heat's offense.

But after James left the court, the Warriors' defensive attention was greatly tilted towards Wade. Under Zhang Yu's arrangement, the Warriors used the same method to deal with James on Wade. Very tight double-teaming was carried out.

Facing such a tight defense, Wade could only distribute the ball to his teammates, and the Heat lacked James, who has the strongest ability to handle the ball. The Warriors directly defended the zone defense. Finally, when the 24 seconds were about to expire, Chalmers made a catch ball, which ended in a strike, and the rebound was protected by Chandler.

Since there were less than 17 seconds left in the third quarter, and the Warriors did not push to counterattack, Curry slowly took the ball to the frontcourt, pressing time to play the final attack.

With 8 seconds left, Curry beckoned inside. Chandler came to the top of the arc and screened for him, keeping Wade behind him. Joel Anthony switched to Curry.

Curry took two steps back, and after his teammates pulled away, he began to single Joel Anthony.

In 5 seconds, Curry changed direction in front of his body, and Joel Anthony shook his center of gravity.

In 4 seconds, Curry dribbled the ball under his crotch, handed the ball to his left hand, his left shoulder swayed, and made a gesture to break through from the left. Joel Anthony hurriedly slid to the right.

In 3 seconds, Curry suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, handed the ball to his right hand, took a big step with his right foot, completely swayed Joel Anthony, and shot a three-pointer.

In 2 seconds, Joel Anthony tried his best to defend, but the distance was not enough, and the basketball flew over his head in a rapid spin.

In 1 second, the basketball drew a rainbow-like trajectory and fell straight into the net!

brush!
The red light was on, the white net was flying and swinging, and the Oracle Center turned into a sea of ​​boiling water!

"Curry! Curry!"

Zhang Weiping said loudly:
"Look at how Curry handled the last shot in the third quarter... yo, step right and shoot against someone! Hey! Beautiful! Buzzer! How dare you make this shot! It's too difficult... Let's see again Slow motion, whoops! It’s really not easy, Joel Anthony is tall, look at his fingertips, almost covering the ball, and he can still make a shot just like that! It’s hard to be convinced, this is Ku Li, the three-pointer is really good! If you want to say that this shot is unreasonable, he is indeed unreasonable, but Curry can score, he is really good!"

……

In the ensuing fourth quarter, the Heat fell into a disadvantage across the board.

Without James, the Heat's rotation was completely disrupted. Spoelstra could only leave Bosh on the field after the fourth quarter and let him lead the team to play the transition period, hoping to get through this period smoothly. During the weakest period of the Heat, they were waiting for Wade to return to the court, and even waiting for James to return from the locker room.

However, Zhang Yu did not give him this chance.

Zhang Yu knows the truth of beating a dog in the water. After the fourth quarter, he sent a mixed lineup consisting of Curry, Jeremy Lin, Butler, Yi Jianlian and Whiteside. After the Heat lost James, the chance of the rotation depth was further weakened, giving the Heat a head-on blow!

After the start of the game, Zhang Yu’s arrangement achieved very good results. The Heat’s weak transitional lineup could not resist the successive assaults of Curry, Jeremy Lin and Butler. With Yi Jianlian and Whiteside, the Warriors still hold the inside advantage , grabbed a large number of offensive rebounds, and infinitely compressed the Heat's scoring opportunities.

In just 4 minutes, the Warriors played a wave of 18:4 offensive climax under the leadership of Curry. He scored 11 points and made 3 three-pointers, which completely ignited the atmosphere in the Oracle Center and helped the team take a 104:83 lead.

In desperation, Spoelstra had no choice but to switch back to the main lineup in advance, but after losing James, the Heat also lost their backbone. Wade's physical condition has deteriorated year after year. The Flash who can support the entire Heat team, the Heat's army is distracted, and both offensive and defensive ends have lost their rules. Not only can they not narrow the point difference, but the Warriors have further expanded their lead.

At 5 minutes into the third quarter, James walked out of the player channel. His left eye injury was checked and he was fine, so he could play.

Green's slap just looked scary, but it didn't do much damage to James.

He grew up on the streets of Saginaw since he was a child, and he would fight if he disagreed with each other on the field. Fighting was commonplace for him, and he was very measured.

Moreover, Green is not a fool. Maliciously fouling James and hurting James are completely different things. He will follow Zhang Yu's instructions, but he will not involve himself in it, not to mention that Zhang Yu did not let him do anything cruel.

……

Spoelstra took a look at the situation on the court, and then looked up at the 21-point difference and only 5 minutes left. He shook his head, and instead of replacing James, he called Pause, replace all the starters, and Mingjin withdraws.

This is just a regular season, it is not worth the risk of an injured James continuing to return to the court.

James, who calmed down, also agreed with Spoelstra's decision.

The morale of the Heat team has been drained, and they will definitely not be able to catch up to the 20-point difference. He is also doing useless work when he returns to the court, which only provokes ridicule.

So, when the Heat switched to the third team, James covered his left eye and walked into the tunnel again.

He left early.

The broadcast camera was shown on James, and there was a burst of boos, strange shouts and whistles at the scene, "Welcome" James back to the locker room.

James walked to the exit of the player channel, listened to the boos and curses from the audience on both sides, and watched the Warriors fans playfully waved at him. He took a deep breath, turned his head, and slowly scanned the Warriors' substitutes Xi glanced at Zhang Yu, Curry, Green, Leonard, Butler and Chandler, and then turned his head and walked slowly into the player tunnel, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

I've changed my mind, I hope you guys can go further in the playoffs, but don't get out too early, so that I can't take revenge with my own hands!

……

After Spoeltra replaced the starting lineup, Zhang Yu also replaced the third team, and the game entered garbage time.

As usual, the Warriors' third team dared to fight during the garbage time. During these 5 minutes, they completely suppressed the Heat's third team to play, so that the Warriors fans who came to the scene felt that this game was completely worth it. Returned the fare.

Regardless of whether the Warriors can beat their opponents, they can see the home team players who played at a high level for 48 minutes, which is a treatment that fans of other teams cannot enjoy.
