The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 307
Chapter 307 If you are a brother, come and hit me (chapter with four characters)
Holding the home court advantage, blooming more points, and winning G1 of the finals, this is definitely the most wonderful start for the Heat in the past three years!
The nightmare of 11 and 12 seems to have dissipated. The Heat fans who liked to leave early continued to shout enthusiastically after the game. As long as they win three more games, they will win another championship.
Maybe it was too easy to win the game, or maybe the Clippers were weaker than they thought. Not only LeBron James was smiling, but Wade was also laughing happily.
After the game, Chris Bosh stood on the sidelines and roared loudly, venting his excitement.
The Big Three felt so close to the championship for the first time!
The America media reporter who was a fool on the wall forgot the previous ridicule again, and began to praise the performance of the three crazily.
For a while, in the press conference hall of the American Airlines Arena, there was a wave of flattery. Wade, who scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 turnovers in 8 of 2 in this game, did not forget to tease himself when facing the reporter's question. little brother.
"Wade, it is said that Chris Paul rejected your invitation. Will the finals affect your friendship?"
"Of course not, I will not confuse work and life. This is the first time Chris has reached the finals. I like the matchup with him."
"Of course, in the game I hope he will be merciless, but we will win the series!"
The sports reporters in the audience watched Wade shrug his shoulders and said this with a smile, and also smiled slightly. Paul really couldn't limit Wade's performance.
Winning was grinning. At the press conference, Wade, James, and Bosh looked relaxed, and the audience boasted to each other, as if the Heat had already won the match point and won the championship directly in the next game.
The game kicked off at 21 o'clock in the evening, and the game was not going fast. By the time of the press conference after the game, the time had come to 23 o'clock.
Maybe those who work in the sports media are night owls. These guys looked energetic at the Clippers' press conference. It's good to lose!
"Kayce, how do you evaluate tonight's game? Do you think there is a problem with the team's tactical arrangement?"
The question from the Yahoo Sports reporter was not very friendly. As a rookie coach in the finals, De Nagro's employment was indeed more passive, and he was almost led by the nose by the head coach Spoelstra.
However, Li Ze, who was dressed in a dark gray suit, just said with a relaxed expression when faced with such a problem:
"Maybe we rested for too long, so tonight's outside touch is not good, but the team's tactics have no problem."
"In the starting lineup, only I have experience in the finals. Everyone was a little nervous in the first game, which is inevitable."
"Of course, the series is 7 games. We will adjust our state in time. The finals also start with an away game!"
26中14,其中三分球8中4,罚球8中8,40分6篮板4助攻1抢断2失误,除了罚球少了,李泽的发挥一如既往的稳定。
The sports media at the scene shook their heads secretly when they heard Li Ze's answer, there was no point!It seems that something came out of nothing after the game, and soon the media will target Paul again:
"Paul, many times in this game, you would switch to Wade, but the defensive effect was very mediocre. Is this also the reason for your loss?"
Although Paul was in a bad mood, he still explained seriously when he heard such a question:
"Superstars are unrestricted. The reason for losing is that we lost the rhythm of the game. We will adjust it!"
"In this year's playoffs, I have learned a lot and always be patient. Our goal is to win an away game. Even if we lose consecutive games, we will still maintain confidence and then protect our home court."
Wearing the same dark gray formal suit, Paul looked full of confidence when he said this, with the golden thigh beside him scoring 40 points is as easy as drinking water, offense will not be a problem for the Clippers.
It's just that the media can't interpret it normally. After the press conference, an article came directly:
"Chris Paul lacks confidence, the Clippers may continue to lose".
After that, various media fully staged what it means to create something out of nothing, and it is almost a master of psychology per capita:
"Griffin played with injury is only for data, and the Clippers have serious differences within the team";
"Kayce thinks the team's tactics are behind, the Clippers will consider changing the head coach".
On the morning of the 7th, when the Clippers had a video class, Griffin was almost blown away by the boring media. He was described as a cancer in the locker room. In fact, he only played 1 minutes in the G16 game. 6 hits, 3 points and 8 rebounds.
Can this also be black?The young Griffin really wanted to find the sports reporter who wrote this article, and give the opponent two old punches directly to make him understand that words should not be spoken nonsense!
Chris Paul was also pissed off, obviously he was full of confidence, but turned into a lack of confidence.
14 of 7, including 4 of 0 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 turnover. Paul thought his performance was quite satisfactory, and he lacked confidence in the first game. What kind of report is this?
Between G1 and G2 of the finals, the two teams had more than two days to adjust. In terms of physical fitness, there was no problem with either side.
In this case, how to adjust the lineup and how to choose the correct matchup has become a difficult problem for the Clippers.
The 183-year-old Chris Paul is very good in defense when he is in the first position, but his height is always flawed. The first game has proved that the effect of switching to Wade is very mediocre.
In terms of speed, the two are about the same, but Wade has a big advantage in size and strength. Although Chris Paul also has a huge butt, when Wade is defending, facing continuous mid-range distances, he always has the advantage. Can't interfere too much.
"Andrew, you have to pay attention to Bosh's position. At the same time, the rebound should be blocked in time. Don't be easily swayed by the opponent. In the first two quarters, control your fouls!"
Hearing what the assistant coach said, Jordan nodded obediently again. Throughout the playoffs, he averaged 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, and his free throw percentage was 39.1%.
If it weren't for the fact that there is no one inside, Coach De Nagro might have pushed this big man who likes to jump silly to the bench.
Jordan's performance near the basket is not bad, but it's a pity that Chris Bosh always likes to stand in the circle of the free throw line, and his defensive position makes Jordan completely numb.
In addition, Bosh doesn't have many low-post offenses, either catching and jumping or breaking through with the ball. In last night's game, Jordan basically couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Li Ze also revisited last night's game during the assistant coach's explanation.
James likes to receive the ball on the left and right flanks, and then either breaks through the pick-and-roll, or makes a hand-off with the guard, then screens and goes down, comes to the block position for singles, and closes to the basket to complete the offense.
Li Ze's single defense cooperates with the Clippers' inside line, and the overall defensive effect is still very good.
But maybe it was too much emphasis on James' defense, and Paul always switched to Wade, which led to the fact that the Heat played the best game last night was Chalmers.
12中6,其中三分球4中2,罚球5中5,砍下热火队全队最高的19分4篮板2助攻1抢断。
而替补登场的拉沙德-刘易斯8中5,其中三分球5中3,拿到13分,迈克-米勒的三分球3中3,也有9分入账。
Overall, the Heat made 19 of 10 three-pointers and shot 52.6% from the field. This data also shows that the Clippers' man-to-man defense has completely failed.
Jamal Crawford is also a little guilty, making 37.2% of his three-pointers in the regular season, but in the playoffs, his shooting percentage dropped to 27.3%.
Facing the Heat's three-point shooting, the Clippers suddenly lost their rhythm, followed suit, and were seized by the opponent to switch.
"Be patient! Our goal is just an away win. The last game was my problem. We need to readjust the defensive arrangement!"
"Do what you are good at! Trust each other!"
After the head coach De Nagro finished the video lesson, he immediately clapped his hands and sent chicken soup for the soul.
Fortunately, there is Li Ze in the Clippers locker room. As long as the superstar has no objections, no matter how many other people have to say, they have to hold it in their hearts.
Every team has contradictions, and some Clippers players don't like this level of chicken soup. They usually give up the white head coach who manages the locker room.
Many black players are actually playing with a lot of enthusiasm. A meal of Let's go, We are fight is sometimes more effective than detailed tactics.
By lunch time, everyone in the Clippers was settled in the hotel, the married ones gathered together, and the unmarried ones were all at Li Ze's side.
Chris Paul had some doubts about the tactical adjustments of the coaching staff, so he took the initiative to get close to Li Ze and Griffin, and chatted while eating:
"Kayce, do you think it's really a good idea to let go of LeBron? I know him very well. He will definitely play well in key games!"
Before Li Ze could speak, Griffin on the side responded with a relaxed tone:
"James has lost to Kayce for two consecutive years. These are key games. I don't think he performed very well. In the past two years, KD has played better than him."
Griffin's views actually represent the views of many young players. Victory is the most important thing. After losing for two years in a row, no matter how good James is, some players have begun to look down on the chosen one.
Li Ze winked at Griffin. This guy really can't speak, but he simply answered Paul's question:
"Everything has to wait until after G2. Compared with man-marking, it is indeed a more pragmatic choice to let Andrew stay at the basket and shrink the defense near the paint area."
"Actually, I'm very good at defending Wade. This year he's been terrible outside the three-point line. He always likes to pick and roll below the free throw line in every offense. You've noticed it too!"
Paul watched the video of the game for more than a week, and he knew the playing style and statistics of his good brother Wade very well. Hearing Li Ze's words, he finally shook his head with a smile and said with emotion:
"It's true that Dwyane's 25 percent shooting from beyond the arc in the playoffs is down a bit from last year."
Li Ze ate the steak with big mouthfuls, and when he heard Paul's response, he said relaxedly again:
"So, I will limit Wade's mid-range, and you will limit Chalmers. As for LeBron's performance, it depends on God's will."
"Two-pointers can't beat us. It's a pity that everyone's outside touch is so-so this year, otherwise our playoffs will be easier!"
Paul thought about it, and felt that what Li Ze said was indeed reasonable, and the decision-making of the coaching staff seemed to be correct. Although he thought his brother James was very strong, scoring 50 points by himself was not an easy task.
"We have to re-drill our defense in the past two days, Andrew, you have to continue to practice free throws during the offseason!"
Little Jordan, who was also shot while lying down, could only nod silently aggrieved when he heard Paul's words. Although there were 1 dissatisfaction in his heart, he didn't dare to complain at the most critical period of the team.
When it comes to free throws, Griffin raised his head, and a real man will do what he says.
In the playoffs, the surface brother's free throw percentage also reached 80.8%. He is no longer a drag on the team!
Li Ze looked at Paul's babbling, and didn't intend to interrupt the other party. Someone in the team must supervise the slackers.
After the G1 game ended, the sports media in Amerika did not make too many predictions about the series. Except for some fools jumping up and down, the mainstream ball critics were all waiting for G2.
If the Heat successfully protect the home court, then everyone can collectively become James.
If the Clippers manage to steal a road game, considering that the next three games are in Los Angeles, there are already critics who are ready to shout: "Clippers championship."
More than two days passed quickly. The Clippers trained in a low-key manner. Coach De Nagro didn't want to attract any attention. Most importantly, he didn't want Coach Spoelstra to guess his tactical adjustments.
Superstars are indeed unrestricted, and the Heat's outside shooting ability is indeed very strong. In the playoffs, they averaged 20.2 shots per game, hit 7.7 goals, and made 38.1% of their three-pointers, compared to 39.6% in the regular season. Didn't drop much.
Among the 30 teams in the league, the Heat ranked second in three-pointers in the regular season and No. 2 in the playoffs.
The team with the highest percentage of three-pointers in the regular season and playoffs is the Warriors.
On the night of June 6th, the atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena was extremely hot. Before the game even started, the excited Heat fans were already yelling along with the hilarious song.
The appearance ceremony of the Heat team was very distinctive. The DJ on the scene first introduced everyone in the Clippers in a low tone.
As the exciting scene of the previous game was played on the big screen in the center of the field, the DJ on the scene began to raise his tone, introducing the players of the home team enthusiastically.
There was another yelling at the scene. After the Heat came on the field, they formed a circle in front of the bench. Wade stood in the middle, yelling at his teammates excitedly:
"We are fight! We are fight! We are fight!"
Everyone yelled together, and the Heat's momentum was like a rainbow for a while.
With the lights on, the game of G2 is about to begin.
In the ESPN commentary seat, Mike Breen, the commentator wearing a black suit and a red tie with a white shirt, looked around the arena first, and then said briskly to the camera:
"The victory of the G1 game has brought great encouragement to the fans of the Heat team. In tonight's game, the Heat team did not change the starting lineup. It can be seen that Coach Spoelstra is very satisfied with the performance of the G1 team."
Jeff Van Gundy wore a gray suit and glasses tonight, faced the camera, and said with a serious expression:
"The Clippers took the lead in making adjustments. Veteran Ray Allen started the game. This season, the Clippers have always had problems at the No. 3 position. Tonight, Coach De Nagro is obviously more concerned about offense, but I am not optimistic about it. Such an adjustment."
"If you shrink the defense, the Heat's perimeter will definitely respond. Maybe we can pay attention to the rotation behind the Clippers during the game."
Although LeBron James with a white headband looked serious, he still showed a smile after finishing the chalk throwing session in front of the technical stage.
Compared to the yelling and yelling of the Heat, Li Ze of the Clippers just compared a few sets of fancy hand gestures with his teammates, and then everyone quietly carried out the final warm-up.
Coach De Nagro did not have too much chicken soup before the game, and even sat on the bench in a low-key manner before the game started.
The live broadcaster had been showing the Clippers coaching staff. Seeing that everyone was sitting back on the bench, they were speechless for a while. On the other side, the head coach Spoelstra continued to loudly remind everyone on the Heat team.
The referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, and the American Airlines Arena immediately erupted with a huge cheer. Compared to G1, the fans of the Heat tonight were more enthusiastic and shouted crazily:
"Let's go Heat! Let's go Heat! Let's go Heat!"
Paul stood alone in his own half, leaning on his knees, staring intently at Jordan who was about to jump the ball.
With the ball thrown, Jordan jumped up and easily jumped to the ball for the Clippers again.
Paul stepped forward to take the ball, and then quickly dribbled across the half court. The Heat fans at the scene once again shouted for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
However, after shouting three times just now, it stopped abruptly.
Using Griffin's upper screen, Li Ze quickly started from the left corner, got rid of Wade's entanglement, received a pass from Paul, took a step away from the three-point line on the left wing, and quickly shot a jumper with two points!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!
Hearing another burst of false noises at the scene, Li Ze simply clapped his hands, signaling everyone to return to defense quickly.
Compared with Leonard and Tony Allen's whole-hearted tool man defense, Wade's chasing and defending is a bit worse. After the last game, Li Ze also readjusted his shooting rhythm.
Everyone in the Heat team didn't care, and quickly sent the baseline ball. Chalmers dribbled halfway, and then quickly twitched the corner of his mouth, and found that everyone in the Clippers team was almost huddled.
Li Ze and Paul stood at the two elbows to the left and right of the free throw line, Jordan Jr. stood on the left near the baseline, and Griffin stood on the right near the baseline.
Only Ray Allen's position is slightly forward, facing James, shrinking behind the three-point line. This kind of defense that completely surrounds the paint area completely ignores the Heat's perimeter.
Seeing this defensive style, Bosh quickly came to the free throw line. After receiving the pass, Jordan also followed up the defense, but strictly guarded his left hand, leaving only his right hand for Bosh.
Bosh saw that Griffin was ready to shrink the basket at any time, and quickly passed the ball to James on the right wing outside the three-point line.
Receiving the ball at his most familiar position, James noticed that Ray Allen had let him take a big step, and at the same time guarded against his left hand. He immediately released the ball with his right hand and broke through directly.
Soon James discovered that something was wrong. Ray Allen didn't put a lot of defensive pressure on him, but just let him break through with his right hand.
Observing that Griffin and Jordan were both waiting for him at the basket, James, who was on the move, immediately jumped up and passed the ball back to Chalmers who responded from outside the three-point line.
Paul's defense immediately greeted him, and the latter returned the ball to Bosh at the free throw line. After passing it around, Jordan failed to return to the defense, and finally Bosh easily shot a mid-range jumper.
"Shua!" A two-pointer was scored!
Although Jordan's defense never returned, the Clippers accepted such a score. The coach De Nagro stood up and clapped his hands, indicating that this was a good defense, and then sat back on the bench. It looks as stable as Mount Tai.
The same is to quickly send the baseline ball. Compared with the G1 game, the Clippers no longer want to beat the opponent through the inside.
Griffin's knee is still plagued by injuries. As for Jordan, the pie forward, the coaching staff has completely defined him as a pick-and-roll tool man.
After Paul dribbled through halftime, the Clippers had a huge offensive space. Ray Allen stood on the left flank, Griffin stood in the left elbow zone, and Li Ze stood in the right corner.
For a moment, there were only Jordan and Paul at the top of the arc, away from the three-point line, a simple high-position pick-and-roll, Paul's right hand changed direction in front of his body, and got rid of Chalmers' defense.
Facing Bosh who came up from the defense, he misleadingly changed direction after shaking his shoulders, and pretended to break through obliquely with the ball in his right hand.
Coming to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Paul suddenly made a feint of hitting the ground and passing the ball. Chalmers and Bosh also paid attention to Jordan who was running down.
When the two reacted, they saw Paul take advantage of the strength of the ball rebound and easily make a mid-range jumper.
"OH—! Chris Paul! Knocks it down!"
The wonderful shaking made the commentator Mike Breen raise the volume in an instant, and the Heat fans at the scene continued to boo.
Chalmers dribbled across the half court again, seeing that the Clippers' defense hadn't changed in any way, he suddenly got a bit dizzy, and immediately gave the ball to LeBron James.
James, who received the ball from the right wing, did not attack immediately, but began to direct his teammates to move.
As a result, no matter how hard it was, Li Ze and Paul stayed at the free throw line, Joe didn't go out, and Griffin was on the right near the baseline, waiting for James to break through.
As for Haslem, he was almost completely let go by the Clippers.
After a round of tactics, LeBron James returned the ball to Chalmers at the top of the arc again. The latter caught the ball and immediately passed it to Wade on the left wing.
Haslem slipped from the left near the baseline to the right, opening up space for Wade to break through, while Bosh from the free throw line came to the left elbow for a pick-and-roll.
Wade soon discovered that Li Ze did not choose to defend, but instead leaned on Bosh, ready to go off the line to defend. Facing such a huge two-point opportunity, Wade on the left wing took a step forward , The open long two-point jumper shot!
"Shua!" Two points and then scored!
The Heat fans cheered for a while, and Wade Bangbang beat his chest after the goal, showing the appearance of a big boss.
Li Ze didn't care. If the score was two points longer, the combination of Wade and James might be able to match his output.
Paul was in good condition. In the next few minutes, Li Ze spent most of the time creating space in the left and right bottom corners.
Just at the beginning of the game, the two teams scored consecutive goals in response. The Heat patiently conducted the transmission, while the Clippers worked hard to find dislocations, and strived to form a small attack with each attack.
After more than six minutes in the first quarter, the Heat still couldn't hold back the opportunity to shoot from the outside.
Taking advantage of Jordan's poor defense rate, Bosh hit two mid-range shots in a row. This time, after completing the pick-and-roll with James on the right wing, he bounced outside the three-point line, received the pass, and quickly shot a jumper.
"state!"
The ball hit the back edge, and almost all Clippers players were under the basket. Griffin caught James who was rushing for the rebound, and Jordan easily blocked Haslem behind him. Finally, Li Ze received the rebound, and then immediately Initiate a conversion attack.
After receiving the rebound, he suddenly accelerated. Li Ze first circled the ball behind his back, passed Bosh who wanted to delay him, then passed the ball to Paul near the center line, and then ran without the ball, accelerating in a straight line.
The Heat's retreat was fast. Paul had just dribbled halfway, and Chalmers and LeBron James had already come to Paul's side. Just when the delay was about to be delayed, Paul quickly threw the ball to the basket. top right.
In the exclamation of the fans, Li Ze, who was close to the paint area, suddenly took off between Bosh and Wade.
After jumping high, ignoring Bosh who jumped in front of him, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, condescending, and pressed the ball into the basket hard across Bosh!
"Kayce--Li! Alley-oop!"
"OH my god!"
Li Ze almost followed Bosh to dunk the ball into the basket. After seeing Bosh hit the street, he fell to the side of the camera, and the commentator Mike Brin suddenly screamed.
"Shh!"
The boos at the American Airlines Arena did not affect Li Ze's celebration. He was also expressionless, beating his chest to the camera under the basket.
There were 1 minutes and 5 seconds left in the first quarter, and the score was 15:15. After Li Ze completed the alley-oop dunk, it just entered the official timeout.
The Clippers bench was full of joy, and everyone stepped forward to give Li Ze a high-five to celebrate. On the other side, coach Spoelstra quickly replaced Battier to strengthen outside shooting.
"Listen guys, we've got to trust each other, when there's an opportunity, make the shot, and protect the backboard!"
The back and forth on the outside has already made head coach Spoelstra feel something is wrong.
After returning from the timeout, the Clippers replaced Griffin and Turiaf came on the field. In this Heat's offense, LeBron James received the ball on the left wing, and then forced the ball to the basket with his left hand.
Hanging with Ray Allen and Turiaf, and against Jordan's block, he scored 2 points with difficulty. The outrageous goal not only boosted the morale of the Heat team, but also excited the fans on the scene. Aoao screaming!
Li Zebi made an offensive gesture, and then Paul waved to his teammates, and the Clippers quickly passed the half court.
When Battier saw Li Ze holding the ball directly, he was taken aback for a moment. Seeing Li Ze on the left wing continuously dribble the ball under the crotch and change direction in front of his body, approaching the three-point line, his scalp felt a little numb.
At this time, Paul was standing at the logo waiting to respond, Ray Allen was standing on the right flank to open up space, and Turiaf and Jordan Jr. had no intention of picking and rolling on the inside.
The two big men of the Clippers were desperately stuck in the basket. Before Li Ze made a shot, the inside line was about to fall.
The defensive Battier didn't know which side to defend for a while. When Li Ze suddenly changed his dribbling rhythm, his body swayed to the left after dribbling the ball under his crotch, and Battier subconsciously slid to the right and rear.
In the next second, I saw Li Ze complete a drastic change in front of his body, passing his defense in one step.
"Oh!"
The fans at the scene also exclaimed, Battier was staggered and almost slipped on the floor.
Li Ze didn't dribble too much. After completing the change in front of his body, he used his left foot to take advantage of the trend, and easily retreated to the outside of the three-point line. No one was guarding, and he quickly shot the three-pointer!
"Kayce hits the three! YES!"
The commentator Mike Breen yelled excitedly, and the head coach Spoelstra was very dissatisfied with the defense of this round, and immediately reminded Battier loudly:
"Defend immediately!"
As the record holder of three-pointers in the regular season and the record holder in the playoffs, each team will not easily give three-pointers when facing Li Ze.
Since the Grizzlies adopted the defensive strategy of strictly defending one side and sending Li Ze within the three-point line, the Spurs and Heat have also followed suit.
After all, once the three-pointer is shot straight, the game may be spent directly. In contrast, two-pointers are easier to accept.
James' offense was not going well, the Clippers almost let go of his mid-range and three-pointers, and the two insiders were always waiting for him under the basket. In this case, Wade took over the task of the main attack.
Wade, who received the ball from the left wing, first completed a pick-and-roll with Bosh at the left elbow of the free throw line.
After Bosh took it apart, he immediately walked to the basket, Li Ze's defense went off the line, and immediately stuck to Wade.
With the ball in his right hand, he quickly dribbled behind his back, then Wade continued to accelerate with his left hand in hand, and finally in the left block, he suddenly withdrew and swayed the ball.
After a series of shakes, Wade found that Li Ze was still firmly guarding in front of him, and the corner of Wade's mouth twitched.
At this time, Bosh under the basket was ready to grab the rebound. Wade, who hesitated for a moment, did not force the shot against the defense, but returned the ball to Chalmers at the top of the arc.
Just when the ball was about to fall into the hands of his teammates, Paul suddenly jumped out, successfully predicted the passing route, easily stole the ball away, and then accelerated in a straight line, 1-on-0 in the frontcourt, and the civilian made a layup!
Before Chalmers even reacted, Paul, who successfully steals and scored, has returned to the defense, applauding passionately and calling his teammates to continue to defend.
"Why don't you try a three-pointer? I promise I won't defend it!"
When Wade heard Li Ze's teasing voice, he was immediately furious, but at this moment he remained expressionless and did not respond.
"How many points do you think you can get in this game? How about we make a bet!"
While watching the movement of James on the right side of the court, Li Ze teased Wade.
Being provoked continuously, Wade just wanted to respond, but found that Li Ze suddenly jumped towards the baseline and intercepted the pass to Battier in the left corner.
"Shet!"
Wade, who cursed secretly in his heart, hurriedly retreated, Paul waved to his teammates again, everyone in the Clippers slowed down, and passed halftime slowly together.
This time Turiaf did not place a crazy card position, but instead stood in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.
This made James' defense follow the free throw line. When Battier was strictly defending his left hand, Li Ze didn't make any extra moves. The three-point line on the left flank, his body twisted his hips concealedly, and after exerting force with his feet, his center of gravity dropped. The right hand holds the ball and breaks through step by step.
Suddenly getting up, Battier easily got half of the body, and Battier slid to the left rear desperately. At the same time, LeBron James also double-teamed from the free throw line.
Li Ze was keenly aware of the Heat's defense, and just before James was about to form a double team, he suddenly jumped up and passed the ball, and the ball flew directly to the right corner!
Ray Allen catches the ball easily, doesn't make any adjustments, just throws the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"Oh!"
There was a burst of exclamation in the American Airlines Arena. At 23:13, the Clippers suddenly played a wave of 8:0, and coach Spoelstra immediately requested a timeout.
LeBron James regretted it a bit. At the moment he chose to double-team, Turiaf made a screen for Ray Allen. Wade failed to catch up in time. His defense lost position and he lost the ball directly.
Ray Allen, who was walking towards the bench, just smiled, chewing gum, looking very calm, and finished high-fiving with Li Ze, and then clapped his hands at the Clippers, indicating that this is a beautiful attack!
After returning from the timeout, LeBron James, who was emptied for most of the quarter, finally made the first three-pointer of the game.
As the ball hit the net, another burst of cheers erupted from the American Airlines Arena!
At 23:16, LeBron James helped the Heat stabilize the situation.
Li Ze made a gesture of pressing down, and then motioned for Paul to take control. Soon, the Heat felt a little painful. The Clippers could always score after more than 20 seconds of offense. Even if the defense was successful, they wanted to protect It takes a lot of effort to rebound in the backcourt.
The slow offensive rhythm still allowed the Clippers to score 30 points. At the end of the first quarter, the fiery atmosphere of the American Airlines Arena was fading.
At 30:22, the Clippers successfully led by 8 points.
"This is the offensive rhythm of the Clippers. Although the Heat also scored three-pointers, their offense must be more stable."
“Kayce首节比赛7中5,其中3分球2中1,罚球2中2,打的异常高效,15分2篮板1助攻,热火队必须对他作出限制!”
Jeff Van Gundy didn't expect the game to become like this. Wade was completely lost and scored 3 points on 1 of 3 in a single quarter.
“我相信热火队会作出回应的,勒布朗-詹姆斯4中2,其中三分球2中1,拿到6分4篮板2助攻1失误,今晚的他的状态不错!”
Commentator Mike Breen began to stand for the Heat, and he wanted to see a more intense finals.
Coach Spoelstra didn't want to lose his home court, so in the rotation stage, he just replaced Chalmers with Norris Cole, and at the same time replaced Chris Anderson with Bosh. .
The victory of the Clippers is in sight. Li Ze, who only rested for less than 1 minute at the end of the first quarter, also went directly to the game. Crawford replaced Paul, and Matt Barnes also replaced Ray Allen. , Griffin also appeared again.
The rhythm of the game is difficult to describe in words, but the Clippers, which led by 8 points, played more and more comfortably. Griffin showed the energy to entangle with Randolph, desperately stuck in the offense, and kept entangled with James.
Although Jordan was always unable to improve his defense, he only stayed inside and jumped up to interfere when someone broke in, which also caused James and Wade a headache for a while.
Excessive contraction of defense will inevitably allow the Heat to get a lot of open shots from the outside.
With 2 minutes and 05 seconds left in the second quarter, Mike Miller, who came off the bench, received a pass from James and hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc!
At 54:48, the Heat once again narrowed the point difference to 6 points.
However, the cheers at the scene were not as enthusiastic as before the game, and the fans of the Heat seemed to have returned to the previous two seasons.
At this time, both sides have regained their main lineup. The Heat replaced Battier, who felt bad, and the Clippers let Griffin rest.
Paul, who dribbled the ball halfway, seemed full of confidence at this time. After making an offensive gesture, he launched an attack from the high pick-and-roll at the 5th position.
Bosh's footsteps were fast when he switched defenses, which did not allow Paul to get an easy singles opportunity. After a circle, Chalmers switched defenses again.
Wade was already a little anxious. Seeing Paul's unhurried attack, he signaled to Chalmers loudly:
"Squeeze through the pick-and-roll! Stick to it!"
Just yelling a few words, he was bumped by Li Ze immediately, took a step back, and in the next second, he saw Li Ze easily catch the ball with his back in the left block.
Li Ze didn't wobble too much. After putting the ball with his right hand, he hit the ball twice, and the moment Wade hit the top, he suddenly turned around with his left foot as the axis and quickly turned towards the baseline.
At the same time, he exerted force on his feet and rose into the air. After Wade jumped up to block the shot, he found that it had no effect. Li Ze, who was drifting to the left and rear, was waiting for him to fall again. In the end, he could only watch helplessly.
"Shua!" The two-pointer hit again!
"Easy!"
When Wade heard Li Ze's lightly picking voice, his heart surged with anger, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and quickly sent the baseline ball.
Watching the Clippers' huddled defense, the Heat's outside line tossed and turned, and in the end it was LeBron James who took the initiative to take the offensive responsibility, and made an open three-point jumper at the top of the arc!
"state!"
The long rebound popped out and was directly accepted by Li Ze, and the Heat retreated quickly.
Li Ze's dribbling speed is very fast, 1 to 5 in the frontcourt, Mike Miller at the top of the arc just wanted to step up and delay, but was directly crushed and squeezed by Li Ze.
Breaking through into the paint, Li Ze circled the ball with his right crotch, and then suddenly turned around quickly, carrying LeBron James who was helping to defend him. After jumping, he tilted his body in the air and dodged the opponent's block. Fang cleverly picks the basket!
"Boom!"
After hitting the board high, the ball fell into the basket precisely, and the Heat fans booed again.
"It's definitely a defensive foul! He hit my shoulder!"
When retreating, Li Ze took the opportunity to complain to the referee that the penalty scale for tonight's game was too broad.
But in the end, the line referee just raised an eyebrow at Li Ze, indicating that the game should continue. Coach De Nagro also seemed to want to come forward to argue, but was stopped by the coaching staff.
In the last minute or so, with the cooperation of Paul, the Clippers easily killed the time.
At the end of the half, at 58:49, the Clippers still led by 9 points.
After resting for the last 2 seconds in the second quarter, Li Ze was wearing a towel and walking towards the player tunnel with a relaxed expression on his face. On the other side, the big three didn't have any smiling faces at all, and everyone on the Heat team looked dignified.
The fans at the scene were still booing Li Ze, How old are you!
Before entering the player tunnel, Li Ze was even in the mood to wave to the fans of the Heat, silently thinking:
"Three-pointers are a double-edged sword!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
The data is all true. In G2 of the finals that year, James was 17 of 7 and scored 17 points. The Heat blossomed more and pulled back a city~
So in the last game, I just misappropriated the data,
Including the following games, the data is also true~
James in 2013 should be the strongest player of the year, and the Heat, who won 27 consecutive victories, are also at their peak~
(End of this chapter)
Holding the home court advantage, blooming more points, and winning G1 of the finals, this is definitely the most wonderful start for the Heat in the past three years!
The nightmare of 11 and 12 seems to have dissipated. The Heat fans who liked to leave early continued to shout enthusiastically after the game. As long as they win three more games, they will win another championship.
Maybe it was too easy to win the game, or maybe the Clippers were weaker than they thought. Not only LeBron James was smiling, but Wade was also laughing happily.
After the game, Chris Bosh stood on the sidelines and roared loudly, venting his excitement.
The Big Three felt so close to the championship for the first time!
The America media reporter who was a fool on the wall forgot the previous ridicule again, and began to praise the performance of the three crazily.
For a while, in the press conference hall of the American Airlines Arena, there was a wave of flattery. Wade, who scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 turnovers in 8 of 2 in this game, did not forget to tease himself when facing the reporter's question. little brother.
"Wade, it is said that Chris Paul rejected your invitation. Will the finals affect your friendship?"
"Of course not, I will not confuse work and life. This is the first time Chris has reached the finals. I like the matchup with him."
"Of course, in the game I hope he will be merciless, but we will win the series!"
The sports reporters in the audience watched Wade shrug his shoulders and said this with a smile, and also smiled slightly. Paul really couldn't limit Wade's performance.
Winning was grinning. At the press conference, Wade, James, and Bosh looked relaxed, and the audience boasted to each other, as if the Heat had already won the match point and won the championship directly in the next game.
The game kicked off at 21 o'clock in the evening, and the game was not going fast. By the time of the press conference after the game, the time had come to 23 o'clock.
Maybe those who work in the sports media are night owls. These guys looked energetic at the Clippers' press conference. It's good to lose!
"Kayce, how do you evaluate tonight's game? Do you think there is a problem with the team's tactical arrangement?"
The question from the Yahoo Sports reporter was not very friendly. As a rookie coach in the finals, De Nagro's employment was indeed more passive, and he was almost led by the nose by the head coach Spoelstra.
However, Li Ze, who was dressed in a dark gray suit, just said with a relaxed expression when faced with such a problem:
"Maybe we rested for too long, so tonight's outside touch is not good, but the team's tactics have no problem."
"In the starting lineup, only I have experience in the finals. Everyone was a little nervous in the first game, which is inevitable."
"Of course, the series is 7 games. We will adjust our state in time. The finals also start with an away game!"
26中14,其中三分球8中4,罚球8中8,40分6篮板4助攻1抢断2失误,除了罚球少了,李泽的发挥一如既往的稳定。
The sports media at the scene shook their heads secretly when they heard Li Ze's answer, there was no point!It seems that something came out of nothing after the game, and soon the media will target Paul again:
"Paul, many times in this game, you would switch to Wade, but the defensive effect was very mediocre. Is this also the reason for your loss?"
Although Paul was in a bad mood, he still explained seriously when he heard such a question:
"Superstars are unrestricted. The reason for losing is that we lost the rhythm of the game. We will adjust it!"
"In this year's playoffs, I have learned a lot and always be patient. Our goal is to win an away game. Even if we lose consecutive games, we will still maintain confidence and then protect our home court."
Wearing the same dark gray formal suit, Paul looked full of confidence when he said this, with the golden thigh beside him scoring 40 points is as easy as drinking water, offense will not be a problem for the Clippers.
It's just that the media can't interpret it normally. After the press conference, an article came directly:
"Chris Paul lacks confidence, the Clippers may continue to lose".
After that, various media fully staged what it means to create something out of nothing, and it is almost a master of psychology per capita:
"Griffin played with injury is only for data, and the Clippers have serious differences within the team";
"Kayce thinks the team's tactics are behind, the Clippers will consider changing the head coach".
On the morning of the 7th, when the Clippers had a video class, Griffin was almost blown away by the boring media. He was described as a cancer in the locker room. In fact, he only played 1 minutes in the G16 game. 6 hits, 3 points and 8 rebounds.
Can this also be black?The young Griffin really wanted to find the sports reporter who wrote this article, and give the opponent two old punches directly to make him understand that words should not be spoken nonsense!
Chris Paul was also pissed off, obviously he was full of confidence, but turned into a lack of confidence.
14 of 7, including 4 of 0 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 turnover. Paul thought his performance was quite satisfactory, and he lacked confidence in the first game. What kind of report is this?
Between G1 and G2 of the finals, the two teams had more than two days to adjust. In terms of physical fitness, there was no problem with either side.
In this case, how to adjust the lineup and how to choose the correct matchup has become a difficult problem for the Clippers.
The 183-year-old Chris Paul is very good in defense when he is in the first position, but his height is always flawed. The first game has proved that the effect of switching to Wade is very mediocre.
In terms of speed, the two are about the same, but Wade has a big advantage in size and strength. Although Chris Paul also has a huge butt, when Wade is defending, facing continuous mid-range distances, he always has the advantage. Can't interfere too much.
"Andrew, you have to pay attention to Bosh's position. At the same time, the rebound should be blocked in time. Don't be easily swayed by the opponent. In the first two quarters, control your fouls!"
Hearing what the assistant coach said, Jordan nodded obediently again. Throughout the playoffs, he averaged 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, and his free throw percentage was 39.1%.
If it weren't for the fact that there is no one inside, Coach De Nagro might have pushed this big man who likes to jump silly to the bench.
Jordan's performance near the basket is not bad, but it's a pity that Chris Bosh always likes to stand in the circle of the free throw line, and his defensive position makes Jordan completely numb.
In addition, Bosh doesn't have many low-post offenses, either catching and jumping or breaking through with the ball. In last night's game, Jordan basically couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Li Ze also revisited last night's game during the assistant coach's explanation.
James likes to receive the ball on the left and right flanks, and then either breaks through the pick-and-roll, or makes a hand-off with the guard, then screens and goes down, comes to the block position for singles, and closes to the basket to complete the offense.
Li Ze's single defense cooperates with the Clippers' inside line, and the overall defensive effect is still very good.
But maybe it was too much emphasis on James' defense, and Paul always switched to Wade, which led to the fact that the Heat played the best game last night was Chalmers.
12中6,其中三分球4中2,罚球5中5,砍下热火队全队最高的19分4篮板2助攻1抢断。
而替补登场的拉沙德-刘易斯8中5,其中三分球5中3,拿到13分,迈克-米勒的三分球3中3,也有9分入账。
Overall, the Heat made 19 of 10 three-pointers and shot 52.6% from the field. This data also shows that the Clippers' man-to-man defense has completely failed.
Jamal Crawford is also a little guilty, making 37.2% of his three-pointers in the regular season, but in the playoffs, his shooting percentage dropped to 27.3%.
Facing the Heat's three-point shooting, the Clippers suddenly lost their rhythm, followed suit, and were seized by the opponent to switch.
"Be patient! Our goal is just an away win. The last game was my problem. We need to readjust the defensive arrangement!"
"Do what you are good at! Trust each other!"
After the head coach De Nagro finished the video lesson, he immediately clapped his hands and sent chicken soup for the soul.
Fortunately, there is Li Ze in the Clippers locker room. As long as the superstar has no objections, no matter how many other people have to say, they have to hold it in their hearts.
Every team has contradictions, and some Clippers players don't like this level of chicken soup. They usually give up the white head coach who manages the locker room.
Many black players are actually playing with a lot of enthusiasm. A meal of Let's go, We are fight is sometimes more effective than detailed tactics.
By lunch time, everyone in the Clippers was settled in the hotel, the married ones gathered together, and the unmarried ones were all at Li Ze's side.
Chris Paul had some doubts about the tactical adjustments of the coaching staff, so he took the initiative to get close to Li Ze and Griffin, and chatted while eating:
"Kayce, do you think it's really a good idea to let go of LeBron? I know him very well. He will definitely play well in key games!"
Before Li Ze could speak, Griffin on the side responded with a relaxed tone:
"James has lost to Kayce for two consecutive years. These are key games. I don't think he performed very well. In the past two years, KD has played better than him."
Griffin's views actually represent the views of many young players. Victory is the most important thing. After losing for two years in a row, no matter how good James is, some players have begun to look down on the chosen one.
Li Ze winked at Griffin. This guy really can't speak, but he simply answered Paul's question:
"Everything has to wait until after G2. Compared with man-marking, it is indeed a more pragmatic choice to let Andrew stay at the basket and shrink the defense near the paint area."
"Actually, I'm very good at defending Wade. This year he's been terrible outside the three-point line. He always likes to pick and roll below the free throw line in every offense. You've noticed it too!"
Paul watched the video of the game for more than a week, and he knew the playing style and statistics of his good brother Wade very well. Hearing Li Ze's words, he finally shook his head with a smile and said with emotion:
"It's true that Dwyane's 25 percent shooting from beyond the arc in the playoffs is down a bit from last year."
Li Ze ate the steak with big mouthfuls, and when he heard Paul's response, he said relaxedly again:
"So, I will limit Wade's mid-range, and you will limit Chalmers. As for LeBron's performance, it depends on God's will."
"Two-pointers can't beat us. It's a pity that everyone's outside touch is so-so this year, otherwise our playoffs will be easier!"
Paul thought about it, and felt that what Li Ze said was indeed reasonable, and the decision-making of the coaching staff seemed to be correct. Although he thought his brother James was very strong, scoring 50 points by himself was not an easy task.
"We have to re-drill our defense in the past two days, Andrew, you have to continue to practice free throws during the offseason!"
Little Jordan, who was also shot while lying down, could only nod silently aggrieved when he heard Paul's words. Although there were 1 dissatisfaction in his heart, he didn't dare to complain at the most critical period of the team.
When it comes to free throws, Griffin raised his head, and a real man will do what he says.
In the playoffs, the surface brother's free throw percentage also reached 80.8%. He is no longer a drag on the team!
Li Ze looked at Paul's babbling, and didn't intend to interrupt the other party. Someone in the team must supervise the slackers.
After the G1 game ended, the sports media in Amerika did not make too many predictions about the series. Except for some fools jumping up and down, the mainstream ball critics were all waiting for G2.
If the Heat successfully protect the home court, then everyone can collectively become James.
If the Clippers manage to steal a road game, considering that the next three games are in Los Angeles, there are already critics who are ready to shout: "Clippers championship."
More than two days passed quickly. The Clippers trained in a low-key manner. Coach De Nagro didn't want to attract any attention. Most importantly, he didn't want Coach Spoelstra to guess his tactical adjustments.
Superstars are indeed unrestricted, and the Heat's outside shooting ability is indeed very strong. In the playoffs, they averaged 20.2 shots per game, hit 7.7 goals, and made 38.1% of their three-pointers, compared to 39.6% in the regular season. Didn't drop much.
Among the 30 teams in the league, the Heat ranked second in three-pointers in the regular season and No. 2 in the playoffs.
The team with the highest percentage of three-pointers in the regular season and playoffs is the Warriors.
On the night of June 6th, the atmosphere in the American Airlines Arena was extremely hot. Before the game even started, the excited Heat fans were already yelling along with the hilarious song.
The appearance ceremony of the Heat team was very distinctive. The DJ on the scene first introduced everyone in the Clippers in a low tone.
As the exciting scene of the previous game was played on the big screen in the center of the field, the DJ on the scene began to raise his tone, introducing the players of the home team enthusiastically.
There was another yelling at the scene. After the Heat came on the field, they formed a circle in front of the bench. Wade stood in the middle, yelling at his teammates excitedly:
"We are fight! We are fight! We are fight!"
Everyone yelled together, and the Heat's momentum was like a rainbow for a while.
With the lights on, the game of G2 is about to begin.
In the ESPN commentary seat, Mike Breen, the commentator wearing a black suit and a red tie with a white shirt, looked around the arena first, and then said briskly to the camera:
"The victory of the G1 game has brought great encouragement to the fans of the Heat team. In tonight's game, the Heat team did not change the starting lineup. It can be seen that Coach Spoelstra is very satisfied with the performance of the G1 team."
Jeff Van Gundy wore a gray suit and glasses tonight, faced the camera, and said with a serious expression:
"The Clippers took the lead in making adjustments. Veteran Ray Allen started the game. This season, the Clippers have always had problems at the No. 3 position. Tonight, Coach De Nagro is obviously more concerned about offense, but I am not optimistic about it. Such an adjustment."
"If you shrink the defense, the Heat's perimeter will definitely respond. Maybe we can pay attention to the rotation behind the Clippers during the game."
Although LeBron James with a white headband looked serious, he still showed a smile after finishing the chalk throwing session in front of the technical stage.
Compared to the yelling and yelling of the Heat, Li Ze of the Clippers just compared a few sets of fancy hand gestures with his teammates, and then everyone quietly carried out the final warm-up.
Coach De Nagro did not have too much chicken soup before the game, and even sat on the bench in a low-key manner before the game started.
The live broadcaster had been showing the Clippers coaching staff. Seeing that everyone was sitting back on the bench, they were speechless for a while. On the other side, the head coach Spoelstra continued to loudly remind everyone on the Heat team.
The referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, and the American Airlines Arena immediately erupted with a huge cheer. Compared to G1, the fans of the Heat tonight were more enthusiastic and shouted crazily:
"Let's go Heat! Let's go Heat! Let's go Heat!"
Paul stood alone in his own half, leaning on his knees, staring intently at Jordan who was about to jump the ball.
With the ball thrown, Jordan jumped up and easily jumped to the ball for the Clippers again.
Paul stepped forward to take the ball, and then quickly dribbled across the half court. The Heat fans at the scene once again shouted for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
However, after shouting three times just now, it stopped abruptly.
Using Griffin's upper screen, Li Ze quickly started from the left corner, got rid of Wade's entanglement, received a pass from Paul, took a step away from the three-point line on the left wing, and quickly shot a jumper with two points!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!
Hearing another burst of false noises at the scene, Li Ze simply clapped his hands, signaling everyone to return to defense quickly.
Compared with Leonard and Tony Allen's whole-hearted tool man defense, Wade's chasing and defending is a bit worse. After the last game, Li Ze also readjusted his shooting rhythm.
Everyone in the Heat team didn't care, and quickly sent the baseline ball. Chalmers dribbled halfway, and then quickly twitched the corner of his mouth, and found that everyone in the Clippers team was almost huddled.
Li Ze and Paul stood at the two elbows to the left and right of the free throw line, Jordan Jr. stood on the left near the baseline, and Griffin stood on the right near the baseline.
Only Ray Allen's position is slightly forward, facing James, shrinking behind the three-point line. This kind of defense that completely surrounds the paint area completely ignores the Heat's perimeter.
Seeing this defensive style, Bosh quickly came to the free throw line. After receiving the pass, Jordan also followed up the defense, but strictly guarded his left hand, leaving only his right hand for Bosh.
Bosh saw that Griffin was ready to shrink the basket at any time, and quickly passed the ball to James on the right wing outside the three-point line.
Receiving the ball at his most familiar position, James noticed that Ray Allen had let him take a big step, and at the same time guarded against his left hand. He immediately released the ball with his right hand and broke through directly.
Soon James discovered that something was wrong. Ray Allen didn't put a lot of defensive pressure on him, but just let him break through with his right hand.
Observing that Griffin and Jordan were both waiting for him at the basket, James, who was on the move, immediately jumped up and passed the ball back to Chalmers who responded from outside the three-point line.
Paul's defense immediately greeted him, and the latter returned the ball to Bosh at the free throw line. After passing it around, Jordan failed to return to the defense, and finally Bosh easily shot a mid-range jumper.
"Shua!" A two-pointer was scored!
Although Jordan's defense never returned, the Clippers accepted such a score. The coach De Nagro stood up and clapped his hands, indicating that this was a good defense, and then sat back on the bench. It looks as stable as Mount Tai.
The same is to quickly send the baseline ball. Compared with the G1 game, the Clippers no longer want to beat the opponent through the inside.
Griffin's knee is still plagued by injuries. As for Jordan, the pie forward, the coaching staff has completely defined him as a pick-and-roll tool man.
After Paul dribbled through halftime, the Clippers had a huge offensive space. Ray Allen stood on the left flank, Griffin stood in the left elbow zone, and Li Ze stood in the right corner.
For a moment, there were only Jordan and Paul at the top of the arc, away from the three-point line, a simple high-position pick-and-roll, Paul's right hand changed direction in front of his body, and got rid of Chalmers' defense.
Facing Bosh who came up from the defense, he misleadingly changed direction after shaking his shoulders, and pretended to break through obliquely with the ball in his right hand.
Coming to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Paul suddenly made a feint of hitting the ground and passing the ball. Chalmers and Bosh also paid attention to Jordan who was running down.
When the two reacted, they saw Paul take advantage of the strength of the ball rebound and easily make a mid-range jumper.
"OH—! Chris Paul! Knocks it down!"
The wonderful shaking made the commentator Mike Breen raise the volume in an instant, and the Heat fans at the scene continued to boo.
Chalmers dribbled across the half court again, seeing that the Clippers' defense hadn't changed in any way, he suddenly got a bit dizzy, and immediately gave the ball to LeBron James.
James, who received the ball from the right wing, did not attack immediately, but began to direct his teammates to move.
As a result, no matter how hard it was, Li Ze and Paul stayed at the free throw line, Joe didn't go out, and Griffin was on the right near the baseline, waiting for James to break through.
As for Haslem, he was almost completely let go by the Clippers.
After a round of tactics, LeBron James returned the ball to Chalmers at the top of the arc again. The latter caught the ball and immediately passed it to Wade on the left wing.
Haslem slipped from the left near the baseline to the right, opening up space for Wade to break through, while Bosh from the free throw line came to the left elbow for a pick-and-roll.
Wade soon discovered that Li Ze did not choose to defend, but instead leaned on Bosh, ready to go off the line to defend. Facing such a huge two-point opportunity, Wade on the left wing took a step forward , The open long two-point jumper shot!
"Shua!" Two points and then scored!
The Heat fans cheered for a while, and Wade Bangbang beat his chest after the goal, showing the appearance of a big boss.
Li Ze didn't care. If the score was two points longer, the combination of Wade and James might be able to match his output.
Paul was in good condition. In the next few minutes, Li Ze spent most of the time creating space in the left and right bottom corners.
Just at the beginning of the game, the two teams scored consecutive goals in response. The Heat patiently conducted the transmission, while the Clippers worked hard to find dislocations, and strived to form a small attack with each attack.
After more than six minutes in the first quarter, the Heat still couldn't hold back the opportunity to shoot from the outside.
Taking advantage of Jordan's poor defense rate, Bosh hit two mid-range shots in a row. This time, after completing the pick-and-roll with James on the right wing, he bounced outside the three-point line, received the pass, and quickly shot a jumper.
"state!"
The ball hit the back edge, and almost all Clippers players were under the basket. Griffin caught James who was rushing for the rebound, and Jordan easily blocked Haslem behind him. Finally, Li Ze received the rebound, and then immediately Initiate a conversion attack.
After receiving the rebound, he suddenly accelerated. Li Ze first circled the ball behind his back, passed Bosh who wanted to delay him, then passed the ball to Paul near the center line, and then ran without the ball, accelerating in a straight line.
The Heat's retreat was fast. Paul had just dribbled halfway, and Chalmers and LeBron James had already come to Paul's side. Just when the delay was about to be delayed, Paul quickly threw the ball to the basket. top right.
In the exclamation of the fans, Li Ze, who was close to the paint area, suddenly took off between Bosh and Wade.
After jumping high, ignoring Bosh who jumped in front of him, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, condescending, and pressed the ball into the basket hard across Bosh!
"Kayce--Li! Alley-oop!"
"OH my god!"
Li Ze almost followed Bosh to dunk the ball into the basket. After seeing Bosh hit the street, he fell to the side of the camera, and the commentator Mike Brin suddenly screamed.
"Shh!"
The boos at the American Airlines Arena did not affect Li Ze's celebration. He was also expressionless, beating his chest to the camera under the basket.
There were 1 minutes and 5 seconds left in the first quarter, and the score was 15:15. After Li Ze completed the alley-oop dunk, it just entered the official timeout.
The Clippers bench was full of joy, and everyone stepped forward to give Li Ze a high-five to celebrate. On the other side, coach Spoelstra quickly replaced Battier to strengthen outside shooting.
"Listen guys, we've got to trust each other, when there's an opportunity, make the shot, and protect the backboard!"
The back and forth on the outside has already made head coach Spoelstra feel something is wrong.
After returning from the timeout, the Clippers replaced Griffin and Turiaf came on the field. In this Heat's offense, LeBron James received the ball on the left wing, and then forced the ball to the basket with his left hand.
Hanging with Ray Allen and Turiaf, and against Jordan's block, he scored 2 points with difficulty. The outrageous goal not only boosted the morale of the Heat team, but also excited the fans on the scene. Aoao screaming!
Li Zebi made an offensive gesture, and then Paul waved to his teammates, and the Clippers quickly passed the half court.
When Battier saw Li Ze holding the ball directly, he was taken aback for a moment. Seeing Li Ze on the left wing continuously dribble the ball under the crotch and change direction in front of his body, approaching the three-point line, his scalp felt a little numb.
At this time, Paul was standing at the logo waiting to respond, Ray Allen was standing on the right flank to open up space, and Turiaf and Jordan Jr. had no intention of picking and rolling on the inside.
The two big men of the Clippers were desperately stuck in the basket. Before Li Ze made a shot, the inside line was about to fall.
The defensive Battier didn't know which side to defend for a while. When Li Ze suddenly changed his dribbling rhythm, his body swayed to the left after dribbling the ball under his crotch, and Battier subconsciously slid to the right and rear.
In the next second, I saw Li Ze complete a drastic change in front of his body, passing his defense in one step.
"Oh!"
The fans at the scene also exclaimed, Battier was staggered and almost slipped on the floor.
Li Ze didn't dribble too much. After completing the change in front of his body, he used his left foot to take advantage of the trend, and easily retreated to the outside of the three-point line. No one was guarding, and he quickly shot the three-pointer!
"Kayce hits the three! YES!"
The commentator Mike Breen yelled excitedly, and the head coach Spoelstra was very dissatisfied with the defense of this round, and immediately reminded Battier loudly:
"Defend immediately!"
As the record holder of three-pointers in the regular season and the record holder in the playoffs, each team will not easily give three-pointers when facing Li Ze.
Since the Grizzlies adopted the defensive strategy of strictly defending one side and sending Li Ze within the three-point line, the Spurs and Heat have also followed suit.
After all, once the three-pointer is shot straight, the game may be spent directly. In contrast, two-pointers are easier to accept.
James' offense was not going well, the Clippers almost let go of his mid-range and three-pointers, and the two insiders were always waiting for him under the basket. In this case, Wade took over the task of the main attack.
Wade, who received the ball from the left wing, first completed a pick-and-roll with Bosh at the left elbow of the free throw line.
After Bosh took it apart, he immediately walked to the basket, Li Ze's defense went off the line, and immediately stuck to Wade.
With the ball in his right hand, he quickly dribbled behind his back, then Wade continued to accelerate with his left hand in hand, and finally in the left block, he suddenly withdrew and swayed the ball.
After a series of shakes, Wade found that Li Ze was still firmly guarding in front of him, and the corner of Wade's mouth twitched.
At this time, Bosh under the basket was ready to grab the rebound. Wade, who hesitated for a moment, did not force the shot against the defense, but returned the ball to Chalmers at the top of the arc.
Just when the ball was about to fall into the hands of his teammates, Paul suddenly jumped out, successfully predicted the passing route, easily stole the ball away, and then accelerated in a straight line, 1-on-0 in the frontcourt, and the civilian made a layup!
Before Chalmers even reacted, Paul, who successfully steals and scored, has returned to the defense, applauding passionately and calling his teammates to continue to defend.
"Why don't you try a three-pointer? I promise I won't defend it!"
When Wade heard Li Ze's teasing voice, he was immediately furious, but at this moment he remained expressionless and did not respond.
"How many points do you think you can get in this game? How about we make a bet!"
While watching the movement of James on the right side of the court, Li Ze teased Wade.
Being provoked continuously, Wade just wanted to respond, but found that Li Ze suddenly jumped towards the baseline and intercepted the pass to Battier in the left corner.
"Shet!"
Wade, who cursed secretly in his heart, hurriedly retreated, Paul waved to his teammates again, everyone in the Clippers slowed down, and passed halftime slowly together.
This time Turiaf did not place a crazy card position, but instead stood in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.
This made James' defense follow the free throw line. When Battier was strictly defending his left hand, Li Ze didn't make any extra moves. The three-point line on the left flank, his body twisted his hips concealedly, and after exerting force with his feet, his center of gravity dropped. The right hand holds the ball and breaks through step by step.
Suddenly getting up, Battier easily got half of the body, and Battier slid to the left rear desperately. At the same time, LeBron James also double-teamed from the free throw line.
Li Ze was keenly aware of the Heat's defense, and just before James was about to form a double team, he suddenly jumped up and passed the ball, and the ball flew directly to the right corner!
Ray Allen catches the ball easily, doesn't make any adjustments, just throws the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"Oh!"
There was a burst of exclamation in the American Airlines Arena. At 23:13, the Clippers suddenly played a wave of 8:0, and coach Spoelstra immediately requested a timeout.
LeBron James regretted it a bit. At the moment he chose to double-team, Turiaf made a screen for Ray Allen. Wade failed to catch up in time. His defense lost position and he lost the ball directly.
Ray Allen, who was walking towards the bench, just smiled, chewing gum, looking very calm, and finished high-fiving with Li Ze, and then clapped his hands at the Clippers, indicating that this is a beautiful attack!
After returning from the timeout, LeBron James, who was emptied for most of the quarter, finally made the first three-pointer of the game.
As the ball hit the net, another burst of cheers erupted from the American Airlines Arena!
At 23:16, LeBron James helped the Heat stabilize the situation.
Li Ze made a gesture of pressing down, and then motioned for Paul to take control. Soon, the Heat felt a little painful. The Clippers could always score after more than 20 seconds of offense. Even if the defense was successful, they wanted to protect It takes a lot of effort to rebound in the backcourt.
The slow offensive rhythm still allowed the Clippers to score 30 points. At the end of the first quarter, the fiery atmosphere of the American Airlines Arena was fading.
At 30:22, the Clippers successfully led by 8 points.
"This is the offensive rhythm of the Clippers. Although the Heat also scored three-pointers, their offense must be more stable."
“Kayce首节比赛7中5,其中3分球2中1,罚球2中2,打的异常高效,15分2篮板1助攻,热火队必须对他作出限制!”
Jeff Van Gundy didn't expect the game to become like this. Wade was completely lost and scored 3 points on 1 of 3 in a single quarter.
“我相信热火队会作出回应的,勒布朗-詹姆斯4中2,其中三分球2中1,拿到6分4篮板2助攻1失误,今晚的他的状态不错!”
Commentator Mike Breen began to stand for the Heat, and he wanted to see a more intense finals.
Coach Spoelstra didn't want to lose his home court, so in the rotation stage, he just replaced Chalmers with Norris Cole, and at the same time replaced Chris Anderson with Bosh. .
The victory of the Clippers is in sight. Li Ze, who only rested for less than 1 minute at the end of the first quarter, also went directly to the game. Crawford replaced Paul, and Matt Barnes also replaced Ray Allen. , Griffin also appeared again.
The rhythm of the game is difficult to describe in words, but the Clippers, which led by 8 points, played more and more comfortably. Griffin showed the energy to entangle with Randolph, desperately stuck in the offense, and kept entangled with James.
Although Jordan was always unable to improve his defense, he only stayed inside and jumped up to interfere when someone broke in, which also caused James and Wade a headache for a while.
Excessive contraction of defense will inevitably allow the Heat to get a lot of open shots from the outside.
With 2 minutes and 05 seconds left in the second quarter, Mike Miller, who came off the bench, received a pass from James and hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc!
At 54:48, the Heat once again narrowed the point difference to 6 points.
However, the cheers at the scene were not as enthusiastic as before the game, and the fans of the Heat seemed to have returned to the previous two seasons.
At this time, both sides have regained their main lineup. The Heat replaced Battier, who felt bad, and the Clippers let Griffin rest.
Paul, who dribbled the ball halfway, seemed full of confidence at this time. After making an offensive gesture, he launched an attack from the high pick-and-roll at the 5th position.
Bosh's footsteps were fast when he switched defenses, which did not allow Paul to get an easy singles opportunity. After a circle, Chalmers switched defenses again.
Wade was already a little anxious. Seeing Paul's unhurried attack, he signaled to Chalmers loudly:
"Squeeze through the pick-and-roll! Stick to it!"
Just yelling a few words, he was bumped by Li Ze immediately, took a step back, and in the next second, he saw Li Ze easily catch the ball with his back in the left block.
Li Ze didn't wobble too much. After putting the ball with his right hand, he hit the ball twice, and the moment Wade hit the top, he suddenly turned around with his left foot as the axis and quickly turned towards the baseline.
At the same time, he exerted force on his feet and rose into the air. After Wade jumped up to block the shot, he found that it had no effect. Li Ze, who was drifting to the left and rear, was waiting for him to fall again. In the end, he could only watch helplessly.
"Shua!" The two-pointer hit again!
"Easy!"
When Wade heard Li Ze's lightly picking voice, his heart surged with anger, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and quickly sent the baseline ball.
Watching the Clippers' huddled defense, the Heat's outside line tossed and turned, and in the end it was LeBron James who took the initiative to take the offensive responsibility, and made an open three-point jumper at the top of the arc!
"state!"
The long rebound popped out and was directly accepted by Li Ze, and the Heat retreated quickly.
Li Ze's dribbling speed is very fast, 1 to 5 in the frontcourt, Mike Miller at the top of the arc just wanted to step up and delay, but was directly crushed and squeezed by Li Ze.
Breaking through into the paint, Li Ze circled the ball with his right crotch, and then suddenly turned around quickly, carrying LeBron James who was helping to defend him. After jumping, he tilted his body in the air and dodged the opponent's block. Fang cleverly picks the basket!
"Boom!"
After hitting the board high, the ball fell into the basket precisely, and the Heat fans booed again.
"It's definitely a defensive foul! He hit my shoulder!"
When retreating, Li Ze took the opportunity to complain to the referee that the penalty scale for tonight's game was too broad.
But in the end, the line referee just raised an eyebrow at Li Ze, indicating that the game should continue. Coach De Nagro also seemed to want to come forward to argue, but was stopped by the coaching staff.
In the last minute or so, with the cooperation of Paul, the Clippers easily killed the time.
At the end of the half, at 58:49, the Clippers still led by 9 points.
After resting for the last 2 seconds in the second quarter, Li Ze was wearing a towel and walking towards the player tunnel with a relaxed expression on his face. On the other side, the big three didn't have any smiling faces at all, and everyone on the Heat team looked dignified.
The fans at the scene were still booing Li Ze, How old are you!
Before entering the player tunnel, Li Ze was even in the mood to wave to the fans of the Heat, silently thinking:
"Three-pointers are a double-edged sword!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
The data is all true. In G2 of the finals that year, James was 17 of 7 and scored 17 points. The Heat blossomed more and pulled back a city~
So in the last game, I just misappropriated the data,
Including the following games, the data is also true~
James in 2013 should be the strongest player of the year, and the Heat, who won 27 consecutive victories, are also at their peak~
