new lord of the rings

Chapter 146 Ah!Painful realization!

The second half started with lively music. After ten minutes of rest, Zhang Xin was relieved. He played the whole second quarter, scoring and creating chances for his teammates, just to bring the score back.

If you fall behind too much in the first half, you will be passive in chasing points in the second half. Although the Warriors often fall behind in the first half and break out in the third quarter to finish the game, this is the finals, and the opponent is the Big Three. There are superstars here, and there are also superstars on their side, and there are three of them. Once there is a burst, the game will become very complicated.

So Zhang Xin would rather be tired, but also to get the points back, and... he can rest now, but James and Wade can't rest!They have to work hard with the Warriors' starting lineup, and they can watch leisurely below, waiting for the rest to play completely.

In the third quarter, the Warriors and the Heat fought evenly. Since the Heat lost on the field, it was like waking up from a dream. When fighting the Warriors, we must pay special attention to three points:
First of all, you can't compete with the Warriors for offense, no matter how strong you are, you won't be as strong as the Warriors;

Secondly, you can't compete with the Warriors for speed, anyway, no matter how fast you are, you will not be as fast as the Warriors;
In the end, the defensive Warriors really can't double-team. Any team that wants to use the strong side to stack, force the ball holder, and the weak side to supplement the defense will die miserably.

what!Painful realization!

So today the Heat played very steadily, oh, it was slow, the ground and the Warriors slowly grinded, which is why the Heat were able to win the Warriors in the first quarter.

Zhang Xin watched the two sides' secretive attacks from below, and it was really uncomfortable to watch.

The Heat's Wade James has a limited range. The Warriors took a step forward and shrunk the defense. Wade and James dared to enter and double-teamed. James could only make a breakthrough to create opportunities for outside shooters. But in the third quarter, the Heat The shooter is all about playing iron, playing a charming Miami iron song.

The Warriors were limited by the Heat's resolute defense strategy. Except for Curry, no one else could undertake the task of breaking through. They could only keep Curry in high pick-and-roll...and then took the opportunity to shoot three-pointers.

As a result, the two sides finished the third quarter, the score was 86:91, the Warriors still led by 5 points, and the third quarter was evenly divided.

James and Wade returned to the bench panting, and continued to do it. Both of them played for at least 30 minutes today. James rested for less than 2 minutes in the second quarter. Wade's third quarter Time to rest for 2 minutes.

The Heat are used to attacking with the two of them, and without them, no one else in the Heat will attack.

In the face of the Warriors' defense, with the Warriors' front line defense, one person is useless, forcing the Heat to have two people who can attack, so the current situation is that James and Wade are playing with overload, and the Warriors The rotation is reasonable. If the physical strength of James and Wade can be maintained in this way, then the game will still have suspense. If there is a problem with the physical strength of the two, then the game will quickly lose suspense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors played a five-small lineup of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Zhang Xin, Iguodala and Green.

The Heat played James, Wade, Chalmers, Bosh, and Ray Allen, and they also lowered their height to deal with the Warriors' small lineup.

The point difference is only five points, and there is still a full quarter of time. The Heat dare not compete with the Warriors for speed, so they can only suppress the rhythm. Usually, the Heat chase after other people's butts and play fast breaks, because Bosh is also a very fast player. A fast and agile center, but in the face of the Warriors' dead five, the Heat dare not make mistakes.

The reason is that the Warriors' five players are not only fast, but also accurate!Others' fast breaks, as long as they defend the basket, they will basically fall to the ground, while the Warriors' conversion basket and three-pointers are the Warriors' offensive weapons. Not as good as the Warriors, so I can only settle down honestly and grind slowly with the Warriors.

The Warriors don't care so much, they run first, no matter whether the Heat make it or not, just serve the ball quickly, run wildly, and then shoot three-pointers if they have a chance, and land on the ground if they don't have a chance. It doesn't stick to hands, and it can also make the heat foamy at the mouth.

With only 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, there is still suspense in the game. The Warriors only lead by 4 points, but Janeway's condition is not good. Judging from the body language, the physical strength of the two men is almost at the critical point.

Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc and motioned for others to move away. The Warriors opened up space for Zhang Xin to break through. Zhang Xin faced Ray Allen. Ray Allen was in good shape, but no matter how good he was, he was 38 years old. With the Warriors deliberately playing at a fast pace to consume this group of veterans, Ray Allen seems to be unable to move his legs and feet.

Zhang Xin showed a smile, since that's the case, you're welcome.

Zhang Xin broke through with a cross step, and the speed was extremely fast. He passed half of Lei Allen, and Lei Allen hurriedly followed up. Zhang Xin pulled the ball back with his crotch. Thinking of his feet softening and falling to the ground, Zhang Xin took the time to adjust and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

Spoelstra hurriedly called a timeout. One was to arrange tactics, the other was to make personnel adjustments, and the third was to take the opportunity to give Janeway and others a rest.

Spoelstra replaced Ray Allen with Sharad Lewis. Spoelstra saw that Ray Allen had reached his limit, and if he didn't switch on the court, it would become a defensive loophole.

Seeing that Spoelstra was replaced by Sharad Lewis, Zhang Xin almost laughed out loud. Is there no one in the Heat? At this time, instead of sending a defensive champion, they send a tall shooter who can only shoot three-pointers. for what?Are you going to attack?
The Heat attacked, Wade scored two points with difficulty, Green served the ball at the first time, the five players were aggressive, and they passed halftime quickly as a whole, the Heat could only run to defend faster.

Zhang Xin slid around the bottom line and held the ball at the top of the arc. Green brought Sharad Lewis up to block James. Zhang Xin moved laterally. Lewis had to switch defenses, and Green took James away.

Sharad Lewis sank his weight, but he could see Lewis's nervousness from his tightly pursed lips.

Lewis had to be nervous. Zhang Xin was so good at people that he missed more people than he missed. How could he not be nervous?

Zhang Xin smiled lightly, and with a crossover, he passed Lewis directly and went straight to the basket. Wade quickly double-teamed over. You can't short Klay Thompson, that's Klay Thompson!
Thompson bows and shoots!Hit a three-pointer!

There was a sound breaking through the roof of the Oracle Center!
The Warriors lead by eight points with only 2 minutes left!
