Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 772 James: Feeling humiliated
"Barkley, why do you think the conflict just now was resolved in an instant?" Seeing Barkley smiling triumphantly, Smith couldn't help but have the urge to dig a hole.

"Oh, do you still have to ask why?" Buckley raised his eyebrows and looked at Smith and Miller.

I saw the movements of the two of them in unison, nodding in unison, as if we really didn't know.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Barkley's sense of satisfaction burst instantly.

"That's needless to say? It must be Li's Wu, no, it should be Li's convincing people with reasoning, conquering James, and then eliminating this battle." Barkley realized that he had said the wrong thing in the middle of speaking. Quickly changed his mouth.

The two burst out laughing instantly, their plot succeeded, James' fans, among other things, would definitely scold Barkley severely on social media, at least 24 hours later.

The game continues on the court. Although the Knicks did not widen the point difference to 10 points in the first quarter, the 21:27 point difference is a chasm for the current Heat and it is difficult to overcome.

"James, are you really okay?" Spoelstra was worried. Even the Iron Man couldn't handle it if he continued to play like this. He played 51 minutes in the last game, and now he has played 10 minutes in the first quarter. If he continues to play in the second quarter, , he must not be able to bear it.

"It doesn't matter if there is any problem, I have to appear. If I lose this game, all my efforts this season will be in vain." James burst into tears every time he said it. He has worked hard for a season, will he be reimbursed again?

"No, absolutely not." Spoelstra rejected James' request, put Bosh on the field as an offensive arrow, and pressed James and Wade on the bench.

Only 1 minute into the opening of the second quarter, under the leadership of George, the Knicks played a wave of 6:0, directly expanding the point difference to 10 points.

"Touch!" Spoelstra slapped hard on the stool. Bosh didn't even touch the ball for 1 minute after he came on the court. The Heat made 2 turnovers in a row and missed a three-pointer.

"What about the Big Three, what about the Big Four, the team is not built by superstars." New York fans shouted behind the Heat's bench.

"The Heat's bench lineup is too bad. Without a decent guard, Bosh didn't even catch the ball. He has the advantage in singles against Turiaf, but if he can't catch the ball, everything is useless." Smith saw the field He shook his head helplessly at the situation.

As long as the Heat's James and Wade are off the court, the ball will not be able to move. With such a performance, it is absolutely impossible to win in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"Yes, even the Bulls back then needed someone to step up and help the starters. Today's Heat simply don't have anyone who can help push for a few minutes. This is the shortcoming of too many superstars.

Look at the Knicks. They have a super giant like Lee and a super center like Yao. Most of the players in other positions are rookies.Only Lowry, Yi and Tony have played for a few seasons. They can be said to make up for the other positions very well. The salary is not high, but they are very practical.

Especially Yi, his signing at the beginning of the season was criticized by everyone, but he has proven himself in just a few games. In the playoffs, he can perform very well when Yao and Li are not on the court. , helping the team guard the inside.

After two seasons of tempering, George has gradually matured and has the strength worthy of starting. Lowry is injured, Jeremy Lin suddenly explodes, and there are backup defensive players like Beverly and Stephenson. Bradley also Able to make his own contribution in the limited appearance time.

Even O'Neal can help the team every time he is on the court, and Jordan is one of the indispensable players on the Knicks' center bench. "

Miller analyzed the Knicks lineup, maybe not every position is the best, but every position is the most suitable.Lowry is not greedy for the ball, and Mr. Tony is willing to defend and punish the opponent when there is an open space.

Needless to say, Li Tian and Yao Ming are not inferior to some of the top power forwards in the league. Their excellent movement speed and jumping, as well as a stable three-pointer, can open up offensive space for their teammates.

In the Eastern Conference finals series, the Arab League shot 15 of 8 from three-point range. It was entirely his fault that Yao Ming was not double-teamed at the basket. This kind of ability is worth 1000 million, which is absolutely worth it.

Spoelstra did not continue to wait, and when Miller was discussing the Knicks lineup, he called a timeout and replaced James.

The next few minutes became James' performance moment, breaking through the basket in a row, but most of the time it was free throws.Although the shooting percentage of the Knicks' bench lineup is slightly worse, George's shooting percentage has dropped under James' defense.

However, James' free throws were really terrible. He made 10 of 5 free throws and never opened up the point difference.

Looking at the situation on the court, D'Antoni was not anxious at all. If he kept playing like this, how could James still have physical fitness in the second half? Even if he had physical fitness, would his teammates still have the touch?
All this is unknown.

After 6 minutes of the second quarter, D'Antoni arranged for substitutions and replaced all starters.

34:46 At this time, the Knicks led by 12 points. James has not been able to narrow the point difference. The poor free throw percentage has always restricted him from closing the point difference.

"Hoo hoo!" James was already out of breath.

Sweat dripped on the floor, splashed everywhere, and James stared at the bench, then at the Knicks' bench.

Relatively speechless, he could only run with all his strength.

For the remainder of the first half, James frantically sprinted towards the basket with a pack of explosives on his back.

The sound of free throws came one after another. Throughout the second quarter, James took a total of 16 free throws and only made 8 goals in total, with only a 50% free throw shooting rate.

At the beginning of the second half, James was still like this, like a perpetual motion machine, tirelessly heading towards the basket, while the Knicks played relatively easily. Li Tian and Yao Ming's internal and external cooperation also shattered With the Heat's weak defense, Chandler didn't even move laterally for a long time, and couldn't stop Li Tian from breaking through the basket at all.Time is passing by every minute and every second, and James' scoring is also increasing.

25 points!
27 points!
28 points!
30 points!
The fouls committed by the Knicks' outside players are also increasing, but the point difference between the two teams has never narrowed. On the contrary, the point difference often widens.

Five minutes later, James' score reached 5 points, and Li Tian's score was only 40 points, but the Knicks still led by 25 points, entering the final quarter at 10:63.

James still didn't rest, the game was going on, but Li Tian was sitting on the sidelines watching, not in a hurry.

The threat of James' breakthrough has also come down. Stephenson followed James closely and did not give him an easy shot. Realizing that his physical fitness had declined seriously, Stephenson no longer chose to continue fouling when defending, but used his strength to resist James. , Under the ebb and flow, the hit rate dropped again, and it was even more difficult to score.

"Lee, go up and harvest the game." D'Antoni patted Yao Ming with his left hand and Li Tian with his right hand. He had never fought such a rich battle.

"Brother Yao, there are 6 minutes left, keep the victory in New York, I hate Miami!"

Enjoying the cheers of the fans, the Knicks' starting lineup once again returned to full strength.

"Damn it!" James is so ruthless, he has given up everything, and he didn't cause too much damage to his opponent.

After the starting lineup came back, they didn't leave any chance for the Heat. After only 3 minutes, the point difference has exceeded 15 points, and there is still a tendency to continue to expand.

At the last moment, James scored 5 points in a row, but he still failed to help the team narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded. Today's Li Tian's statistics are not so dazzling, but if the team wins, then everything he does is right.

And James gave everything he had, but if the team didn't win, then his efforts were meaningless.

"It's over, another season is over." At this moment, James began to doubt himself. Was it really right for him to come to the Heat?

A second later, James denied the suspicion just now, because if he was not in the Heat and stayed in the Cavaliers, he might not even make it to the second round of the playoffs, at least he would not be able to get past the Nets.

There was no communication between the two teams, and the Heat walked towards the locker room. This was their second defeat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"Let's congratulate the Knicks, Li Tian, ​​Yao Ming and Ah Lian, they finally reached the finals together." Director Zhang shouted excitedly.

Post-match interview!

"James, can you tell me your evaluation of Lee? They have defeated the Heat twice in a row and reached the finals!" the reporter asked.

"It's undeniable, they are excellent, Li is." No complaints, all praises.

"You scored 45 points. At the last moment, your teammates felt nothing. The starter Chandler only got 5 shots. Do you have anything to say?" The reporter tried his best.

James was stunned, it wasn't that I didn't give him the ball, it wasn't that I had to occupy the possession of the ball, but that under Yao Ming's protection, he couldn't make a shot at all. Didn't you see that he made 4 of 1 and made 4 turnovers?

James feels that he has been humiliated, reporter, don't you have a brain?
This is naked humiliation.

Reporter: I have a long brain, that's why I asked this question, otherwise how can I make trouble?
"Well, we still need to continue to work hard, next time," James replied calmly, but his heart was already crazy.

"Do you think the Knicks can win the championship this season?" the reporter asked.

This is murder, we all lose, and you ask me if they can win the championship, what do you want me to say, what qualifications does a loser have to judge others.

"I just said, they are an excellent team." After answering a few questions, the press conference ended hastily.

Bosh only scored 7 points and was pulled out and whipped. Everyone can understand it, but James scored 45 points and was pulled out to whip his corpse. It was really wronged.

"See, you'll never win a championship in Miami!" Cavaliers fans were heartbroken again.

The Knicks are still celebrating. They have reached the finals for two consecutive seasons. They only need four more victories to successfully defend their title.

"Li Tian, ​​thank you!" Yao Ming sincerely expressed his gratitude. He could feel that the soul of this team is Li Tian, ​​and no one can replace him, not because he is strong, but because he is not only strong, but also able to Helping teammates become stronger is the scariest thing.
