Legendary star

Chapter 845

"LeBron, take the time to rest."

James, who was sweating profusely, sat directly on the bench seat after he got off the court, looked up at the scoreboard in the distance, and let the sweat on his head drip across his cheeks and onto the floor under his feet .

James never thought that the match against the Spurs and Meng Xu would be so difficult, or that before the finals, James never imagined that the 33-year-old Meng Xu would have such a tough match With such strength, and such persistent physical strength, in the third quarter of the game that has ended, James used all his strength and all his hole cards to fight against Meng Xu without reservation, but with Meng Xu The one-on-one result made James doubt himself a little.

Since in the second half of the second quarter, Meng Xu began to spare no effort to attack James on both ends of the offense and defense, so after entering the third quarter, James believed that Meng Xu's physical fitness would not be able to last the entire quarter. James has always wanted to defeat Meng Xu in the finals, not only to defeat Meng Xu's team, but also to defeat Meng Xu in all aspects of statistics, so in the third quarter, James violated the main goal very rarely. Coach Eric Spoelstra's arrangement started a one-on-one answer-ball with Meng Xu on both ends of the offense and defense.

However, the pressure Meng Xu put on James on both ends of the offense and defense made James feel his scalp tingling. First of all, on the offensive end, James relied on his strong body and excellent movement speed to develop The domineering crushing style of play is like being locked in front of Meng Xu, and there is nowhere to display it. James can only rely on the combination of body and technology to barely get rid of Meng Xu. On the other end, facing Meng Xu's strong physical fitness and various skills that have reached the extreme, even if James has 120 points, it will be very difficult to defend Meng Xu, especially what makes James feel trembling. The speed of my own physical exertion, and the physical energy consumed by fighting Meng Xu for a game, far surpassed other opposing players.

And Eric Spoelstra on the sidelines, after sending the substitute lineup to the field, turned his head to look at James who was in a daze, and then shook his head, this is still Eric Spoelstra This is the first time I saw James lose his composure in a game. Whether he met Durant of the Thunder or Paul George of the Pacers, James was very calm and sober. No matter what the situation was, James always kept his Victory is the first priority, but only when he met Meng Xu, James couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to fight Meng Xu one-on-one, and Popovich on the opposite side seemed to be able to see through James' mind. Stop letting Meng Xu tease James on the court.

Although the Heat have the Big Three and seem to be a team with three cores, the Heat are essentially a one-man team. Wade in the past and James now, the Heat's tactics have always revolved around one People come and go, and when the Heat's tactical core is stripped out and started to fight alone, the Heat have no tactics to speak of. Of course, even if James is not stripped out, as long as he can't get rid of Meng Xu's suppression, the Heat will have no tactics to speak of. There is no way to effectively rotate the tactics.

"LeBron played very well in the third quarter, and he played very well with Meng Xu one-on-one. For the first time in many years, I have seen a player who can play as well as Meng Xu. of."

After the start of the fourth quarter, Magic Johnson kept praising the confrontation between James and Meng Xu in the third quarter. As the broadcaster of the finals, whoever can have the last laugh between the Spurs and the Heat will be with ABC It doesn't matter, what ABC wants is focus, exciting games and ratings, and the confrontation between Meng Xu and James in the third quarter is undoubtedly the most exciting quarter of all playoff games this season. It can be seen from the crazy atmosphere of the American Airlines Arena and the soaring ratings outside the stadium.

"Yeah, LeBron's performance is very good, but the Heat are still unable to reverse the unfavorable situation on the field." Michaels is also very appreciative of James' performance today, but Michaels is not so satisfied with the performance of other Heat players Well, as the other two of the Big Three, Chris Bosh was outflanked by Tim Duncan on both ends of the offense and defense today, and Dwyane Wade was also defended by Kawhi Leonard. The next performance is not good and cannot provide effective help for James. As for the Heat's rotation players, except for Ray Allen, the performance of others is also as poor as ever.

"Haha, El, the Heat's players have already played quite well. They cannot provide effective help to LeBron. It is not their strength, but their inability to adapt to the rhythm of the game. As today's league The intensity of the matchup between the two best players, Meng Xu and LeBron, is beyond imagination, and it is understandable that these players around them cannot participate, and it is not his fault."

As a player who once ruled an era, Magic Johnson never believed that XX tried his best, teammates CBA and other excuses. None of the players who can enter the NBA and gain a firm foothold in this league are ordinary people, and the Heat are now The situation we are facing is not that James' teammates are not good, but that the level of duel between Meng Xu and James is too high, and the intensity of the competition is too high. Let alone the Heat's rotation players, even Tim Duncan can't help it. Inserted into the duel between Meng Xu and James.

"Maybe you are right." Michaels, who is only a "non-professional" person compared to Magic Johnson, naturally has inferior views on certain things, so when Magic Johnson said something " "Amazing Words", all Michaels can do is to quietly watch him pretend to be BI, who will let others be awesome.

However, Michaels can’t be convinced. In the three quarters, Wade and Bosh, who couldn’t help James at all, played with a substitute lineup in the fourth quarter. In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, the Spurs played a 5-0 spurt, helping the Heat narrow the point difference to less than 5 points.

"LeBron, don't think too much, we haven't lost yet, we will win this game!" Just when the bench team led by Wade and Bosh was fighting the Spurs on the court, Eric Spohr Stella quietly came to James's side, wanting to comfort James.

Although James did not play the game according to the tactics arranged by Eric Spoelstra in the third quarter, Eric Spoelstra did not mean to blame James. As the core of the team, James has unlimited firepower, and he also has the power to rely on his own ideas to play the game. Although James' performance in the third quarter was somewhat reckless, there is no problem with James' performance, and the Heat want to To win the final victory, it still depends on James' performance.
