Chapter 1114 Finals, Fighting the Warriors Again ([-])

"We must admit that our previous judgment was wrong. The Heat are obviously stronger than we expected. Even if they only have Meng Yun as an All-Star player, they still have Lu Wei, Korver, Xiang Long, and Whiteside. , Monroe, Green and many other excellent role players, their overall strength is very strong. The first game of the finals is a clear proof that the Heat are not weaker than the Warriors." From "The Sun" reporter Nathan Watson.

"The Heat won, and they won Game 34 of the Finals, and it was at the Warriors' home court, Oracle Arena. Yes, it surprised a lot of people, including myself, because from the perspective of the lineup, the Heat The team really has no advantage. The Rockets still have at least two All-Star players, while the Heat have only one Meng Yun. But the Heat won, and it was not because the Warriors played badly. Durant scored 27 points, and Ku Li 24 points, Clay 85 points, the three of them scored a total of [-] points, but they still lost to the Heat. I think this is enough to explain a lot of problems, the overall strength of the Heat team, their cohesion, these are beyond doubt. "ESPN" basketball reporter Harry Ford reports.

"Unbelievable, the Heat played a very good game"

At the end of the first game of the finals, many media reported one after another. They changed their attitude of not being optimistic about the Heat before, and they did not hesitate to praise the Heat.

This made some fans feel embarrassed. Just before the game, they saw some media reports that were belittling the Heat, but now they have turned into praise. Doesn't it hurt to slap yourself?

Of course, there is no doubt about the excellent performance of the Heat, and even the most critical fans have to admit this, that is, the Heat play really well.

Meng Yun, Lu Wei, Xiang Long, Korver, Whiteside, Monroe. There are too many players who have performed well in the Heat.

Relatively speaking, the Warriors are much inferior. Except for Durant, Curry, and Thompson, the performance of others seems a bit lackluster.

Just when the outside world was praising the Heat, Meng Yun and the Heat players were training intensely in the training arena temporarily rented by the Heat, and the atmosphere was serious.

"Run, run, don't stop," Craig yelled from the sidelines, "Don't let your defender get away with you, don't forget our opponent is the Warriors, if you're defending Curry , or Durant, as long as he is thrown off, it means he will score."

On the court, Meng Yun and others were running, defending and attacking, everyone was sweating profusely, no one spoke, only the sound of the basketball hitting the floor and panting.

Coach Spoelstra watched from the sidelines, writing and drawing in his notebook.

After ten minutes, Craig stopped.

Everyone stopped, gasping for breath.

This kind of high-intensity offense and defense consumes too much energy, and being able to last for more than ten minutes is already the limit.

But everyone knows that this is necessary, because their opponent is the Warriors. Although they won the first game of the finals, everyone knows that winning the first game is not as simple as the outside world thinks. Korver, a surprise player, may not be able to win.

Korver scored 21 points in the first game of the finals, but this is not normal. Korver averaged only 9.2 points per game in the regular season, so it is impossible to expect him to be in the next game, the next game It is not realistic at all to be able to score 20+ in the game.

It can be said that in the first game of the finals, the Heat still had a bit of luck in winning. It does not mean that their strength can really overwhelm the Warriors, nor does it mean that winning the first game will win this series.

So no matter if the outside world praises or even flatters, Meng Yun and his teammates are very clear that this series has just begun, and there are still many tough battles ahead, so they must not be taken lightly.

Instead, they should be more cautious and cautious.

Two days later, the second game of the finals started.

In this game, the Warriors obviously made some adjustments and strengthened their defense. In the past, Coach Cole believed that as long as Durant, Curry, and Clay played well on offense, there would be no game they couldn't win.But the defeat in the first game made him realize that the opponent's offensive ability is also very strong.

So in this game, Coach Cole emphasized defense, increased rotation personnel, and changed the rotation time of players to allow the team to maintain a high-intensity defense.

In addition, the first loss made the Warriors' Big Three a painful experience. In this game, not only Durant and I played well, scoring 30+ again, Curry also scored 31 points, Thompson 25 points, and the Big Three together scored 91 points. Accounted for more than two-thirds of the team's points.

With the outstanding performance of Durant, Curry, and Thompson and the team's good defense, the Warriors won the game and the final score was rewritten to 1:1.

The heat here is actually not bad, Meng Yun scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, Lu Wei 22 points, Xiang Long 17 points, Whiteside 15 points, 14 rebounds, only Monroe, Korver , Green did not play well in the previous game, and the Warriors' Big Three were in such a good state, the Heat still had to regret losing in the end.

After that, the Heat returned to Miami and ushered in Game [-] of the Finals against the Warriors at home.

The Warriors played equally well in this game. Durant did not get 30+ again and only scored 26 points, but Curry exploded, making 12 of 7 three-pointers and scoring 38 points. Thompson scored 19 points. In addition, Green had 14 points and Livingston had 15 points. Five of the team scored in double figures and won another game.

For the Heat, Meng Yun scored 30+ in three consecutive games, scoring 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. However, except for him, the others didn't feel very good, and missed many shots that should have been scored.

In the end, the Heat lost to the Warriors 112:121, and the final score became 1:2.

For a time, the outside world was full of uproar, talking about the Heat everywhere.

The Heat won the first game of the finals, and all kinds of praises were overwhelming, but the Heat lost in the second game, and still lost to the Warriors in the third game, which caught many people off guard, and then began to criticize the Heat.Those fans who had changed their course and turned to the Heat have become less optimistic about the Heat.

From winning to losing streak, it also made the players of the Heat feel uncomfortable. They did not expect to lose two games in a row, and the confidence and morale accumulated before were disintegrating.

Both Meng Yun and coach Spoelstra are cheering for their teammates, but Meng Yun knows that the only thing that can revive morale is a victory!
