Standing pretty old

Chapter 849 Overtake, Ultimate Kill
James is definitely a smart man, but in the eyes of many senior fans, he lacks a sense of domineering.

There is nothing wrong with choosing to pass the ball at critical moments, because players have their own judgments about the situation on the court, but the behavior of repeatedly missing the slam dunk contest fully exposed James' timidity of wanting to win and fear of losing.

In other words, KING, who is domineering both in appearance and playing skills, was always born as a poor kid. Once he made a fortune, in fact, the slut mentality in his heart has never retreated.

Of course, there are people who are more stupid than him, such as Kevin Durant.

In contrast, both Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were born in middle-class families.

Jordan's father was a well-paid mechanic, Jordan's mother worked in a bank, and Kobe's father was also a former basketball player.

Compared to the poor black kids, both bigots came from good backgrounds.

It can be seen that paranoia cannot be developed without basic family conditions.

The ultimate form of diaosi's counterattack is probably the type of James and Durant. These people's strength can be called top-notch, but the inferiority complex deep in their hearts has never dissipated.

Er Niu also had this problem at first, but his start was too smooth. When he first entered the league, he was seamlessly connected to a lineup that could compete for the championship. At the beginning of his career, he completed a dynasty that most players would not be able to complete in their lifetime. This experience was enough to transform her.

Confidence is something that needs strength and experience to rely on. What James finds unbelievable is exactly what he takes for granted for Er Niu.

In the first half of the game, there was another player who needed to be praised, and that was Yi Jianlian who played for 15 minutes.

That's right, he once again entangled Bosh. Although Allen himself only made 4 of 2 shots in the half, and only scored 4 points and 4 rebounds, but Bosh, who was facing 6 of 2 shots and 4 of 2 free throws, He only scored 6 points and 6 rebounds.

Allen's performance is generally indifferent, and Bosh's poor performance will affect the overall performance of the Heat, especially James is entangled by the two bulls, and D. Wade's efficiency is not high under Leonard's misplaced defense. Down.

If it weren't for Caron Butler who scored 12 points in the half under Redick's defense, maybe the Heat would have collapsed early in G4.

In the ESPN commentary, Jaylen Rose said with a smile: "I originally wanted to praise LeBron for becoming more mature, but now it seems that he is still not the opponent of Kraft Nguyen."

Jeff Van Gundy also laughed: "Even if it is true, it still surprises me to hear that from your mouth!"

Mike Brin said: "Is it because he has no black people?"

Jeff Van Gundy said, "No, it's because he's talking nice things about the Chinese!"

Jaylen Ross continued seriously: "I'm just stating the facts. Kraft Nguyen's performance is amazing enough, but in the 80s and 90s, he might not have survived at all."

Jaylen Rose, a hard-core bully, has actually improved his evaluation of the two bulls in recent years. After all, he is now criticizing men who have won three MVPs, FMVPs, AMVPs, and scoring champions.

The eyes of netizens are discerning. If the league's active No. 1 is evaluated so badly, then what is the meaning of the NBA itself?

Now only those historical celebrities who come out from time to time to brush up their sense of presence, or those "past obsessed" will find various reasons time and time again to prove that Erniu's strength is just the result of lack of heroes.

However, this comparison between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong has never made sense.

To be honest, in the era they mentioned, the NBA still does not allow zone defense. God knows if the two bulls will directly match Chamberlain and become the leading scorer with an average of 50+ points per game in another season.

In the VIP seats at the American Airlines Center in Miami, Heat general manager Pat Riley was deep in thought with a depressed face.

He thought that the Heat, which formed the Big Three, could directly win the championship last year, but he didn't expect to bump into the Dallas Mavericks.

The Heat, which made a comeback this season, should be the most favorable contender for the championship as usual, but the Clippers unexpectedly harvested Chris Paul, and Ruan Erniu made a strong comeback, which immediately made this team the enemy of the Heat on the way to the championship.

The Big Three of the Green Army are about to be dismantled, and the Big Three of the Heat also don't have much time to speak of.

The time has come for those old guys in the Green Army, but the Big Three on the Heat's side are still in their prime. Once they feel that they can't beat the Clippers together, they will definitely choose other ways to win the championship.

The times have changed, the alliance that hates each other and is hostile to each other has long ceased to exist, and now is the era of pursuing a win-win situation.

Obviously G4 is not over yet, but Riley is still pessimistic about the finals, because he knows very well that neither he nor Spoelstra has a better way to help the team improve their combat effectiveness .

The Heat tried their best to drag the series to the current state. If they want to completely defeat the Clippers, they can only rely on God's favor.

However, no matter what the circumstances, God will always only help the stronger side.

In the second half of the game, James, who had stabilized his mood a little, led the team to attack the Clippers again, falling behind by more than double digits, and defense alone could not recover the score.

It should be said that the Heat's counterattack had an effect to a certain extent. Relying on the home court advantage, James and D. Wade broke through with the ball consecutively, causing damage.

As for Bosh, who doesn't have the ball in his hand, needless to say, he is just a high-level support point now, and Yi Jianlian is enough to deal with him.

However, it is not enough for the Heat to rely on James and Wei. Ruan Erniu reproduced his super giants in this quarter. He made 8 of 7 shots in a single quarter, including 3 of 3 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. Just scored 21 points and helped the team play a wave of 14:3 attacks in the second half of the third quarter, which once again widened the score gap.

After three quarters, the score of the two teams came to 101:79. The 22-point difference is not absolutely impossible to recover, but in terms of probability, the chance of the Heat coming back is extremely slim.

Especially in the face of Ruan Erniu who scored 51 points in three quarters of the finals, the Heat still felt chills from the bottom of their hearts. The explosive ability of the Celestials is too terrifying.

In the final quarter of the game, the Clippers carried out a normal rotation, while the Heat began to fight the main players. After all, the score difference is too large. If you don't work hard in advance, there is no possibility of retaining physical strength at critical moments.

Then, the most classic scene of the entire series happened.

On the offensive end of the Heat, backup point guard Norris Cole made a pick-and-roll cooperation with James in the high post. Thomas Jr., who was originally responsible for defending Cole, had to switch defenses and directly faced James.

The high-post James singles Thomas.

One step, two steps, sideways, step back, jump shot...

Three do not stick!
That's right, another classic James-style back. Compared with last season, his back-up ability has indeed made great progress, but in the fourth quarter, James' consumption was too serious, and Thomas Jr.'s chassis strength Also underrated.

It's funny to say that on China's forums, there are always some basketball fans who claim that they are about 185cm tall and can completely outshine Thomas Jr., who is 175cm tall in matchups.

Forgive the ignorant guys, these idiots obviously don't know how big the difference is between pros and amateurs.

Basketball is a sport that emphasizes physical confrontation. Not to mention amateur players, even those youth team players who receive training every day will obviously feel a gap when facing NBA-level confrontation.

A few years later, James came to a training camp of Tianchao to do activities. A player of a certain youth team of Tianchao wanted to take advantage of his height advantage to take on James alone. As a result, he couldn't even squeeze the 30+ LeBron in the low post.

Going back to the game, even if Thomas Jr.'s goal may be tricky on the defensive end, the strongest defensive ability of 175CM on the surface in the future can still be seen.

Naturally, it is impossible for Thomas Jr. to be a formidable figure on the defensive end, but if it is not to say that he is a defensive black hole, it is also an extremely impressive view.

Besides, under the Clippers' defensive system, there are always Leonard and Battier on the outside to help fill the position, and Thomas Jr.'s defensive attitude is also active enough. In the system, his height disadvantage is not so conspicuous. up.

A good system can try to cover up a player's disadvantages and show his strengths.

Although the Big Three of the Heat were all present, but as Thomas Jr. continued to attack the basket during the final rotation time, and then assisted Nick Yang Biao to make three-pointers many times, the Clippers, who played off the bench, actually bit the ball during the rotation time. up the score.

When the main players such as Erniu and Sanpao return to the field, the scores of the two teams still have not changed much.

It seems that there is no need to say more about the story after that. Er Niu once again showed his strong means, scoring 7 points in the last 14 minutes, helping the team finally defeat the opponent with a big score of 128:104.

2:2, the two teams once again tied the total score, which also means that the Heat will have no chance to end the finals at their home court. Regardless of the outcome of G5, both sides will definitely return to Los Angeles for the final battle.

Ruan Erniu made 26 of 22 shots, including 10 of 8 three-pointers and 14 of 13 free throws. He scored 65 points, 26 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 steals and 2 assists.

At the same time, 65 points is also a new high for Er Niu's career finals in a single game. He surpassed the record of 09 points in a single game in the finals created by himself in the 10-63 season.

And the hard-fated Baylor-Elgin Baylor's record of 61 points in a single game in the finals has been squeezed to the third place in history.

A historical superstar must be backed by historical scoring data. Erniu is talked about because he has a lot of data that is enough to mark an era in the history of the league.

The Heat, who scored hundreds of points in a single game, actually did not perform badly on the offensive end, but it is a pity that they met the Los Angeles Clippers, who performed more powerfully on the offensive end.

At the press conference after the game, Spoelstra was still unwilling to admit defeat. He made it clear: "Now the total score is only 2:2, we will try our best to win G5, and then go to Los Angeles with the lead to fight for the final victory!"

When asked how to defend Ruan Erniu, Spoelstra said vaguely: "We will do our best to deal with every Clipper player, which is also the key to our victory."

The truth is, there is no way, love whoever!
Ruan Erniu, as the absolute protagonist tonight, naturally couldn't escape the post-match press conference.

A reporter asked: "Kraft, are you happy to break the single-game scoring record in the Finals created by yourself?"

Er Niu nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, it would be hypocritical to say that I'm not happy, but what I'm happiest is fulfilling my promise in Los Angeles. We will definitely bring the game back to the Staples Center."

Another reporter asked: "James only scored 26 points tonight and was completely overwhelmed. Can you think that you are not at the same level of players at all?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "Don't think that I will be fooled. I have a good personal relationship with LeBron. Why are you so keen to stir up trouble? I think the game itself should be the focus of everyone's attention."

Finally, a reporter asked: "What do you think about the upcoming G5?"

Ruan Erniu said seriously: "I said that we must bring the game back to Los Angeles, but if we can go back with the lead, that would be a great thing!"

This speech has already expressed the attitude of the Clippers towards G5. It is better to use the remaining courage to chase the poor, and the Los Angeles people who equalized the big score are no longer satisfied with bringing the game back to the home court.

G5 two days later can definitely be called a wonderful confrontation battle.

The Heat also seem to understand that the Clippers cannot be stopped by defense alone. They also chose to attack and attack. From the beginning of the game, they started to confront their opponents.

In the first quarter of the game, the Heat led the Clippers by 5 points.

In the second quarter, the Clippers, relying on Battier's explosion on the three-point line, quickly smoothed the point difference between the two teams and overtook the score at halftime.

The third quarter was probably the best quarter Bosh played against Allen in the entire series. He made 5 of 4 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 12. points, 3 rebounds.

With Bosh's sudden outbreak, the Heat once led the Clippers by nearly 10 points in a single quarter.

But at the end of the game, Yang Shaoxia once again ushered in the moment when he was strong and let him be strong during the rotation time. In just 2 minutes, he made 4 of 3 three-pointers and led the team to catch up with the score. .

The wonderful duel was staged in the second half of the last quarter, and it was another good show of Sanying fighting Lu Bu.

Only this time, Lu Bu opened up and hit the limit real damage.

Although the Big Three of the Heat scored points for the home team again and again, Ruan Erniu fully demonstrated his unparalleled low-post offensive skills, and played 2+1 consecutively in the last few offensive rounds.

With the last 5 seconds left in the game, the ball was in the hands of the Clippers.

At 121:121, the two sides were tied, and in the past 1 minute, the two sides had struck iron many times, and no score was recorded.

Leonard served the ball from the sideline, Erniu ran back from the low position, and went to the top arc to catch the ball. Allen went down and had a chance to attack the basket directly, but Leonard still safely sent the ball to Erniu.

James rushed forward, and Er Niu took a step with the ball. Just when everyone thought he would pull up, Er Niu sent a cross pass, and the ball reached Redick on the wing.

Redick catches and shoots...

"brush!"

124:121, the Clippers won G5!

3:2, the Clippers not only brought the game back to Los Angeles, they also got the match point ahead of schedule!
