I really just want to be a role player

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is June 6, the third day after the Heat's tiebreaker.

Night falls at American Airlines Arena.

At this time, the 12/13 season finals between the Heat and the Lakers are about to begin. The lights are bright and there is a sea of ​​people.

Su Bei returned to the place where his dream began and where he gave the Heat two runner-up finishes. He waved to the fans and immediately received cheers mixed with boos and applause.

Su Bei always had a smile on his face. It was impossible for everyone to be satisfied and like him. It was absolutely impossible. Just be yourself.

During the warm-up, Kobe smiled and chatted with James and Wade about a few cents.

The trio of Cojanway met for the first time in the finals. Regardless of the final result, etiquette is indispensable.

Although Su Bei left the Heat and there was no championship here yet, Su Bei still managed to scrape together a dollar.

Then, Paul also smiled and passed by. Suddenly Anthony stood up from the audience and joined James and Wade in cheering, in order to complete the friendship of the banana boat brothers.

After chatting, it was James' performance time, and he began to sprinkle magnesium powder happily.

This is one of the talents that James brought to Miami, and this link cannot be missing.

At this time, the starting lineups of both sides tonight were also shown on the big screen in the arena.

The Heat's starting five are Bosh, Haslem, James, Wade, and Chalmers.

The Lakers started with five players, Jordan Hill, Gasol, Subei, Kobe, and Paul.

This game was broadcast live on TNT. Barkley partnered with Kenny Smith, and invited Jeff Van Gundy and O'Neal to continue to form the four major commentary teams.

"Excuse me, when will James be number one in the world?" O'Neal asked with a smile.

"That's the end of this series."

Buckley grinned and continued.

“What I’m saying is, even if Jesus comes, it won’t change it.

I very much see the Heat winning and climbing to the top.

They have lost two finals, and the problems they should have have been fixed.

This is a flawless Heat team, and the Lakers have formed a luxurious lineup, although there are factors in it that are the final battle for Lakers owner Jerry Buss.

But in competitive sports, we have to talk about hard power.

I am optimistic that the Heat will defeat the Lakers 4-2. This score will occur because the Heat have home court advantage. "

"I disagree with you."

Kenny Smith jumped out and retorted: "The Heat have reasons why they must win. As you said, they have lost twice and can no longer afford to lose the third time.

But this is motivation and pressure!

If it is too tight and something goes wrong, it will leak out.

The Heat absolutely cannot accept the blow!
They have home field advantage and a perfect lineup?
But there is one point of view that is least supportive of the Heat's championship, and that is that the team built with James as the core has no experience of successfully winning the championship so far.

Kobe had 6 times, and Su Bei had 7 times.

In terms of experience in competing for championships, the Lakers can be said to be the best in the past and present.

Let's talk about the lineup problems. The Heat have indeed strengthened their ranks, but the inside problem is still unresolved.

What's the biggest problem for the Lakers?
The question is about interior rim protection and defense. What is the second biggest question? The question is about Chris Paul's height limit.

But such a flawed Lakers team will not have problems against the Heat.

Because neither the Heat's point guard nor the insides have the ability to kill the Lakers. "

Kenny Smith paused and then said: "And what about home field advantage?
You'd better pray the Heat don't lose their first two home games.

Otherwise, they have to go to Los Angeles to play three consecutive away games. The Lakers can protect the three home games and then defeat the Heat with a score of 4 to 1. "

"Indeed.

Charles, none of your reasons for the Heat winning the series seem to hold water. ” Jeff Van Gundy concluded, then offered his own opinion.

"James and Wade will be the biggest asset in determining the Heat's championship.

But at the wing position, the Lakers have Kobe, Su Bei and Artest, and they are undoubtedly the only one in the league.

The Heat can't beat the Lakers' flaws and weaknesses.

He also doesn't have the ability to defeat the Lakers where he seems to have a strong advantage. It's really hard to guess in this series.

Because even though we hate James' use of live broadcasts to publicly announce that he will bring his talents to Miami, we still can't imagine that James has entered the finals for three consecutive years but failed to win a championship. "

"It doesn't matter, all the superstars who didn't win the championship are gone."

O'Neal shook his head and said with a smile: "In my opinion, the key to the series is Wade's performance.

After all, without me by my side, Wade hasn’t won a championship yet!

He will definitely want to prove himself. "

"..."

In the commentary room, several pairs of eyes rolled.

You said this to Kobe too, weren't you slapped in the face?
It is said that James requires high configurations to win the championship, but O'Neal requires higher configurations.

How tall is it?
It's at least as high as three or four stories.

A top five-point guard in history must be a top-notch offensive and defensive player.

The game is on!

beep-!
The whistle sounded and the referee threw the basketball high in the air.

Bosh beat Gasol and gave the Heat the ball for the first offense.

Su Bei followed Wade.

As for James, leave it to Kobe.

After all, fans have been looking forward to the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City in the finals on the 23rd and 24th for many years.

Three years and three years later, I couldn't wait. Now, for the first time, Su Bei didn't steal the show.

As for the duel between Kobe and Wade, it doesn't matter, Wade will definitely not care.

After all, having children, playing basketball with brothers eventually turned into playing basketball with colleagues, getting stabbed in the back by the Heat, and still being in love enough to score 9 points...

How could Wade, who is so charming, care about playing against Kobe?
Chalmers controlled the ball and came to the court, and Paul led the defense. The latter was very sensible and had no intention of challenging Paul. After halftime, he immediately handed the damn basketball to James and Kobe for a one-on-one duel.

"What kind of performance will Cojan give in his first time?

Oops, James arched his back. Was he going to show off his post-up play in front of Kobe?

Oh, that way I won’t be sleepy!

They say that James has developed a post-up game this season, but I don’t believe it. Let’s see what Kobe’s criticism will be like...”

Bang-!
After hitting him with his back, Kobe used his chest to hit him, but he was pushed back steadily. However, it was not easy for James to turn around and take action.

Kobe will always predict and reach out to block the ball. He has no choice but to back up and take another step, and then take two steps back.

Facing the basket, he returned to the three-point line, stepped down and dribbled, took a step back, and immediately rushed forward with the ball, acting like a reckless person.

Bang-!
Kobe is very active, but physical confrontation cannot compare.

"James rushed in, immediately pulled the ball and European-stepped for a layup. He took one step, changed direction, two steps, three steps, four steps, carrying Gasol's defensive body, rushed to the basket and shot..."

Boom, swish—!
beep-!
The goal is valid, but a penalty must be added.

0 to 2! !
In the first round of the finals between Kobe and James, James used the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon and pulled out a 40-meter long knife, slashing Kobe to the sword.

After the goal, James beat his chest several times and then pointed at the fans.Outside the court, shouts of "MVP! MVP!! MVP!!" rang out.

"Playing 2+1 for the first time?

He must have taken a step when the ball changed direction and passed Gasol!
I don't have good eyesight, so I can't confirm. "

“The breakthrough layup was smooth and the referee didn’t call it, so it should be considered a good shot.

James' body is unstoppable, and Kobe Bryant can't withstand the tonnage..."

Add in the superstar whistle and the home whistle, what do you use to top it?
At this time, at the free throw line, James claps hands with his teammates and throws the free throw.

Swish-!
There was no mercy and he steadily scored the extra penalty, giving the Heat a 3-point lead.

0 to 3! !
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Kobe to challenge James.

On the left, Kobe took two steps, but did not hit. Instead, he passed the basketball back to Paul who was passing the top of the arc.

"Hey, Kobe didn't respond to James with a single.

This is a reasonable choice. Kobe Bryant's offense is indeed unsolvable, but the 34-year-old Kobe Bryant is not an efficient offensive choice when playing James in his peak period.

Paul received the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Gasol. Then, he chose to cut outside and switched positions with Su Bei, bringing Chalmers' defense in front of Su Bei.

Gasol hit Bosh and immediately smashed the basketball out.

Outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right side, Su Bei caught the ball, raised it up, faced Chalmers' block, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Chalmers is 1 meters tall and his defense is also quite good.

But compared to Wade, James and Haslem are indeed good offensive options.

Chalmers faced Su Bei out of position and couldn't reach him, so he could only reach out desperately to interfere. Then, he bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.

Swish-!
I guessed wrong, there were bullets in Su Bei's three-dimensional pistol.

"Yes!
Very nice, Su Bei's three-pointer was accurately hit.

The stage of the finals is simply the 'horse' of Northern Jiangsu.

For 8 consecutive years, he has performed well, but also failed to win.

The 3 points that James scored with all his strength were instantly wiped out by Su Bei's light pull-up jumper..."

3 to 3! !
Off the court, the camera is very understanding of the fans' joy and immediately hedged against Ray Allen sitting on the Heat bench.

The Heat recruited Ray Allen to the Heat to improve his three-point shooting.

However, it is understandable for the Heat to put Lewis on the bench with an injured number, but it is somewhat unreasonable to put Ray Allen on the bench.

On the sidelines, Si Shuai crossed his chest with his hands, but was very calm.

The Heat's capital to win is first of all iron-blooded defense, which is why Haslem started.

The offense has James, followed by Wade, and then Bosh. Ray Allen comes on the court and has no ball rights, so there is no need to play this card.

Just let the bullets fly for a while.

On the field, the Heat attack.

Chalmers came to the court with the ball, immediately distributed the ball to James, then cut to the basket, and then moved to the right corner, taking away Paul's defense and creating space for Wade and James to connect.

After all, Wade is not stable in mid-range shooting, but he still shoots three-pointers from the bottom corner!

On the left wing, James did not try to play a post-up game. He directly faced the basket and took a step forward with the ball. Then, he stepped down and dribbled, took two steps back, and immediately rushed in with the ball. With his body unable to solve, he is the most embarrassing person to be reckless. .

"Kobe Bryant faced him head-on, and Su Bei also helped defend him. Jordan Hill, who was under the basket, let Haslem pass and also pounced on him. Is this an attempt to surround James?

Let’s see how James chooses?

My goodness!

James chose to go up to the man, he went in, with Kobe Bryant and Jordan Hill hanging on his body, rushed into the penalty area, and forced a layup..."

Bang-dang-!
Although Lu Xun's words were correct, the closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate, but the basket was not used to him and rejected James' goal.

"Miss!
James is so reckless that it is difficult to guarantee a hit rate.

His body was unstoppable and he was indeed unstoppable, but the Lakers used Kobe to defend alone in the first round. After being unable to prevent James' charge, they immediately piled people into the penalty area.

If Ray Allen is on the court, the Lakers will definitely not dare to defend like this, but Haslem is on the court. He comes on the court to do the dirty work. If the Lakers can't kill the Lakers no matter how hard they shoot, they will dare to let you shoot.

Coupled with Wade, his shooting is not stable either.

The Heat have played in the Finals for three consecutive years, and other teams have already figured out his characteristics and flaws.

Especially the head coach of the Lakers, Mike Brown, is the head coach who is most familiar with James, so it makes sense to defend like this..."

Off the court, Mike Brown also folded his hands on his chest and looked at James calmly.

But he shook his head inwardly.

Since his debut in the NBA in 03, James' body has become more and more incomprehensible, but his offensive style has remained unchanged for ten years.

If you attack the traffic jam, whoever attacks the traffic jam knows how to choose with his eyes closed. You can't rely on him, right?

The basketball was picked off by Gasol and immediately passed to Paul. The latter pushed the basketball forward with both hands.

At this time, Kobe and Su Bei rushed towards the frontcourt like arrows leaving the string.

“The Lakers counterattacked very resolutely!

It can be said that this is too difficult for the Heat to defend against.

James' offensive breakthrough was too deep. It was fine when he came, but he definitely can't go back.

Wade quickly followed, he was very fast.

It's just a pity that it was of no use. Su Bei slowed down. He intercepted Wade and slowed down Wade. Kobe got the basketball and only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
Taking the ball to the penalty area, Kobe jumped high and used a folding back dunk to slam the basketball into the basket.

5 to 3! !
The Lakers counterattacked quickly, scoring an easy kill and easily breaking through the Heat's defense.

“Very nice offensive and defensive goals!
There's something about Mike Brown's coaching!

The Lakers scored a two-point counterattack. It was not very damaging to the Heat, but it was extremely insulting.

The Lakers are already standing several stories high looking down at the Heat in terms of their offensive and defensive structure. Now the Heat are running into a problem..."

Off the court, Si Shuai looked a little solemn.

As long as he was not blind, he also saw the sinister intentions of the Lakers' tactics.

Use multiple people to surround James to minimize the offensive efficiency of James' charge.

Then, let the Heat use jump shots to end the offense, but unfortunately, the Heat are least good at jump shots.

The Lakers have Su Bei, and they don't care about the Heat's jump shots at all, because they don't score as many jump shots as Su Bei and as efficiently as he does.

And this is just an offensive strategic confrontation.

Also on the defensive tactical confrontation.

In order to give James a one-on-one challenge, that is, dribbling the ball to open up space, the Heat have calm shooters in both corners.

Coupled with James' breakthrough into the penalty area, the offense was very deep.

Good guy, their offense was too deep, and they were so deep that they couldn't pull back when they were on defense.

It's fine if the Heat score on offense, but if they don't, the Lakers will immediately switch offense and beat the Heat.

In terms of offensive and defensive strategies, due to problems with the core offensive style, the opponent has completely targeted it. How can this be overcome?
