Chapter 847 Difficult choices

The Heat were obviously stunned in the halfcourt. They had thought countless times how the Clippers would restrict themselves on the defensive end, but in any case they never thought that the opponent would suddenly go wild on the offensive end.

Defense drives offense, and offense drives defense.

Don't look at the Clippers playing so proactively in the halfcourt and constantly changing their tactics on the defensive end, but looking back at the Heat's more than 50+ points in the halfcourt, you can understand that the real reason for the Clippers to lead by a big score is offense.

Ruan Erniu scored 22 points at halftime, Paul scored 16 points, Redick scored 12 points, Nick Young scored 10 points, Yi Jianlian scored 10 points, Shane Battier scored 3 points, Kawhi scored 3 points Get 1 points.Jordan scored [-] point,
Just after halftime, 5 players in the team scored in double figures. For most teams, this is basically the data that can only be completed in the entire game.

In the Heat's locker room, Spoelstra had no better solution. In a hurry, he could only resort to the trick of the wheel hammer. In addition to asking the Heat players to pay more attention on the defensive end, only the Big Three were left to solve it. Offensive question.

In fact, the Heat have never had too complicated tactics on the offensive end. The so-called efficient offensive and defensive transitions and the emphasis on three-point play are all leftovers from the Eagles.

As the founder of the Eagles Dynasty, when Ruan Erniu faced James, he put the latter in place on the offensive end, which undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble for the overall operation of the Heat.

The game started quickly in the second half, and James added a breakthrough with the ball, which is the few remaining methods for the Heat.

Tonight's referee saw that the score gap was too large, and he didn't care about the Clippers' home court advantage, so he gave the Heat a lot of help in whistle-blowing.

James made 5 of 3 shots in a single quarter, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 12 points. Ruan Erniu, Jordan Jr., and Leonard contributed one foul successively, giving James plenty of free throw opportunities.

Well, in this finals, the referee has not given the Clippers home court advantage as usual since G1.

Obviously, the league still hopes that James can grow up. After all, he is the representative of American basketball and maintains the honor of the American nation.

As a foreigner, Er Niu knows this very well, but he is also used to it. The king is born to be an enemy of the world.

As far as the matter is concerned, even if the referee's scale of G2 is more biased towards the Heat, it is difficult for the situation to turn around quickly.

Ruan Erniu was also unrelenting in the third quarter. He made 6 of 5 shots, including 3 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points in a single quarter and had a double-double of 10 rebounds. He continued to lead the team Maintained a suppressive posture against the Heat.

The two sides played a low score of 23:24 in the third quarter. Except for Ruan and Zhan, the shooting percentage of other players was appallingly low.

Looking up at the scoreboard, the Heat, which had gained a certain advantage in the penalty scale, actually lost to the home team by one point in a single quarter.

It can only be said that the whistling bias under Stern is still not exciting enough, or that the fans have not yet had the opportunity to see what a real historical black whistle is.

75:101, after three quarters, the Clippers have scored more than [-] points, and the game entered garbage time early in the final quarter, but Spoelstra still did not let the players give up.

At least two of the Big Three are playing on the court just to bet on their chances.

It's a pity that the Clippers didn't give the opponent any chance. At the critical moment, it was Sean Battier who stood up to reap the game.

The Heat finally understood the Thunder's pain.

It's not that they don't want to defend Batman, but when the chick-picking combination explodes at the same time, and Redick and Nick Young need to defend, they really can't spend more energy to deal with Sean Battier.

"Brush!", "Brush!", "Brush!"

Battier maintained a confident smile and used a wave of three-point rain to pull the point difference between the two teams to 30+.

Four minutes before the end, Spoelstra replaced all the Big Three and formally raised his hands in surrender.

Ruan Erniu and Sanpao were subsequently replaced by Thibodeau, and the game completely entered garbage time.

With the whistle of the referee, the G2 game finally came to an end.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 55 points and 31 rebounds, did not express much joy in the direct interview after the game.

He said cautiously: "We just drew. The next three away games are the key to the series."

Of course, tonight's press conference is destined to belong to Yi Jianlian, who made 7 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 2 free throws, 16 points and 7 rebounds.

因为和他直接对位的波什在今晚交出的数据是：全场13投5中，罚球4罚4中，得到14分，10板。

If you just look at the final data, the difference between the two is actually not much, but when you compare the efficiency, A Lian is clearly at the top.

Here is another side comparison that various media like very much: the league's basic salary player with an annual salary of 47 yuan killed the league's top insider with an annual salary of 1602 million.

Thibodeau and Yi Jianlian attended the post-match press conference together.

At the press conference, Thibodeau stated bluntly: "Easy reuse is the result proposed by Steve (Cole) and finally decided by COACH-R, and I did not play any key role.

Facts have proved that this is an extremely correct decision. In the matchup with Bosh, Yi's performance tonight is obvious to all. "

Then, of course, a reporter asked Alian about why he was able to defend Bosh. Alian still said a little shyly: "It was the unanimous decision of the coaching staff to let me defend Bosh. Erniu also invited me to defend Bosh before the game." I had a meal where I was told to have faith in myself and I felt like I had the opportunity I've always wanted.

In addition, I don't think I guarded Bosh, I just tried my best to fulfill the requirements of the coaching staff, and tried to consume opponents on both ends of the offense and defense. "

Allen has not had the opportunity to directly attend a press conference for a long time in his career. The last time this happened probably dates back to his first double-double in his rookie season.

In any case, God rewards hard work. Allen has this battle. Regardless of whether the Clippers can win the championship in the end, he can confidently pursue a middle-class contract in the free market in the summer. In a suitable system, he is worth the price.

After playing G2, the Clippers don't have much time to be happy. They will cross the entire United States and fly to Miami for the subsequent G3, G4, and G5.

11-12赛季的总决赛依然是2:3:2的赛制，这其实对战绩更好的那支球队来说并不利，因为一旦他们在G1、G2的比赛中输掉一场，他们就必须在巨大压力下连打三个客场。

It has to be said that the inertia is always so strong. Even though Quanmi’s empty line has long been able to guarantee the finals to be played in a 2:2:1:1:1 format, even though the playoffs’ format has changed, the finals’ format remains the same. Nothing changes.

"Dad, don't lose the championship in Miami, I will wait at the Staples Center to see you come back to win the championship!" Eddie said with a serious face.

Ruan Erniu touched the top of his daughter's head as he grew taller, and said with a smile, "What if I come back with the O'Brien cup?"

Eddie also laughed and said, "Then I'll watch you spray champagne directly on the Staples Center arena screen!"

"Wait for my good news!" Er Niu kissed the foreheads of Eddie, Dr. Han and Xiao Tangyuan successively, and gave them hugs one by one, and then led the team to fly to the south coast.

Although Er Niu showed great confidence in his family, they encountered trouble from the beginning of G3-the Heat changed:

C Chris Bosh
PF LeBron James

SF Caron Butler

SG Dwyane Wade
PG Mario Chalmers
Bosh's injury has already recovered to the state where he can return to the starting lineup, but the win in G1 allowed Spoelstra to maintain the practice of letting him stay on the bench.

With the loss to the Clippers in G2, the Heat are bound to return to the American Airlines Arena to make changes in G3. Spoelstra has no ability to turn decay into magic, so he directly chooses to believe in the offensive talent of the Big Three, no matter what, continue to die Fuck they are.

The best way is often the best way.

Especially when Bosh faced Jordan again in the first half of the first quarter.

Feint, flying, assault with the ball, mid-range shot.

Bosh flew the kite against Jordan again and again, and scored 12 points in the first quarter.

Thibodeau, however, was somewhat rigid, and did not replace Yi Jianlian until the rotation time of the first quarter. It was too late, and the Heat had already gained momentum and took the lead.

Bosh, who has a good touch, became omnipotent in G3. Jordan, Allen, and Martin took turns to play without suppressing her. Bosh efficiently scored 26 points and 16 rebounds. He was the best player on the Heat team. .

It's not that Ruan Erniu doesn't want to help defend Bosh, but James can't let go either, otherwise the Clippers will inevitably pay a more painful price.

The two sides played extremely anxiously in G2. The game lasted less than 1 minute. The score of the two teams was 95:96. The Heat only led by one point, and the Clippers still had the ball.

Paul had a big heart at the critical moment, and he scored a three-pointer against Chalmers, and overtook his opponent by two points with only 20 seconds left in the time.

Then, the most controversial call of the game came.

James' low-post strong play was blocked by Erniu. Bosh grabbed the rebound and patted the ball into the hands of Wade on the outside. Wade faced Kawhi's defense and scored a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Hard work!
"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, the Clippers player No. 2 fouled, and the Heat got three free throw opportunities.

Then the scene immediately returned to defense in slow motion, and it turned out that Kawhi's arm didn't touch D. Wade at all.

Thibodeau protested angrily to the referee, but was given another technical foul.

Fortunately, Cole and Tyronn Lue both held Thibodeau, otherwise the first assistant coach is likely to be directly expelled.

Wade made 4 of 3 free throws and once again helped the team overtake the score, 97:99, with only the last 2 seconds left. After a long timeout, the Clippers still had the last chance to attack.

Ruan Erniu ran back at the three-point line, facing James' pounce, and made a shot.

Even though James collided with Ruan Erniu in the air, the referee did not blow his whistle...

"boom!"

When the shot is missed, the red indicator light immediately lights up!
At the end of the game, the Heat won their first home game, temporarily leading the Los Angeles with a total score of 2:1.

Ruan Erniu didn't let Thibodeau attend the post-match press conference. He was really worried that the angry Tom couldn't control his emotions, and he would be fined or even banned for spraying directly.

At the press conference, Er Niu was naturally made things difficult by local reporters in Miami and those media who are used to slandering him, but he did not make too many excuses, but said with a smile: "The finals are not over yet, we will definitely bring the game to the fore. Back to Los Angeles!"

Losing G3 meant Er Niu couldn't fulfill his rhetoric to Eddie, but it didn't matter, he vowed secretly in his heart that he must win the fourth championship trophy in his life at the Staples Center .

After the end of G3, the two teams only got 2 days of rest.

The suspension of the season is also interesting, not to mention the hellish schedule of the regular season, the schedule of the playoffs is very loose, but when it comes to the finals, the rhythm that should usually slow down has become tighter.

Fortunately, the Heat's generals are at their peak, and everyone in the Clippers is also young and unlimited.

For the Clippers who just lost, they must once again start an emergency team meeting to discuss the countermeasures for G4.

To be honest, before the start of the finals, the Clippers' coaching staff was most worried about the fact that the Heat were desperate to kill Jordan and let him make free throws, forcing the Clippers to replace Jordan.

But the actual situation is that the Heat didn't want Jordan to end at all, but repeatedly used Jordan's inability to save, or Bosh's misplaced confrontation with Jordan to gain an advantage.

Bosh's return to the starting lineup means that the Clippers are vulnerable to being kited by the Heat from the beginning.

Putting aside the objective whistleblowing bias, the reason why the Heat were able to take the lead at the beginning of the game is inseparable from Jordan's weakness when facing Bosh.

The members of the coaching staff expressed their opinions one by one, and Thibodeau's opinion was the most radical. He proposed the idea of ​​letting the second bull mark Bosh, Kawhi to mark James, and let Battier go to the third position.

But this is also the plan that Erniu first denied. The reason is very simple, that is, the Clippers' rebounding advantage in the first three games will decline rapidly. Let them win extremely thrilling.

Taking the initiative to give up the advantage to fight against the opponent is not the best choice for the Clippers at this stage. If it is 3:1 behind the opponent, it is naturally a different matter.

"Then how about Yi as the starting center?"

It was not Cole who put forward this opinion, but Tyronn Lue. The radicalness of this idea is actually no worse than Thibodeau, but it seems so reasonable when it comes out of Tyronn Lue.

Think about the 01 finals, wasn't Tyronn Lue used specifically to deal with Iverson?

How about Iverson scoring 35.6 points per game?His field goal percentage is only 40.7%, and even though Tyronn Lue averaged only 15 minutes per game, he still left a deep impression on AI's defensive efficiency.

Can play well as a substitute, but may not be able to play well as a starter. Give Tyronn Lue 15 minutes, and the Lakers won the final championship. If you give him 30 minutes, God knows if it will drag down the Lakers' offensive system at that time?

Ruan Erniu is very clear that his decision at the next moment will directly affect the ownership of the O'Brien Cup.

Jordan with an annual salary of tens of millions, or Yi Jianlian with an annual salary of 47, this is a question!
