Standing pretty old

Chapter 868 Xiaoka shows off his power, and the Heat are deflated

米国时间2013年6月6日，2012-13赛季的总决赛将在斯台普斯中心拉开战幕。

The two sides of the battle and the 11-12 season have not changed. It is still the Clippers VS Heat. This is the third consecutive season that the Heat have reached the finals, but the first two times ended in failure.

This season, on the basis of the team's existing players, the Heat introduced players such as Jamal Crawford and Rashad Lewis to further strengthen their strength. They won 23 consecutive victories in the season and 65 in the season. Excellent record of 17 wins.

For the Clippers, Ray Allen, Matt Barnes and others were also introduced at the beginning of the season, and after winning 10 consecutive victories many times, they created a historic 37 consecutive victories in the middle of the season, and then won The second record in history of 74 wins and 8 losses next season.

The Clippers received the highest evaluation during the season, but whether it is the media or fans, when talking about a team that can cause trouble for the Clippers to win the championship, the first thing that comes to mind is the Heat!
Heat team leader LeBron James said before the game: "We have successfully reached the finals again, and this time we will not return empty-handed."

With four championships in hand, Ruan Erniu, who is about to hit the fifth championship trophy in his career, seemed relatively relaxed. He said in a relaxed tone: "The fans of the Clippers are looking forward to the team's ability to defend the championship. I don't think we have any reason to let They're disappointed."

Before the game, the leaders each expressed their attitudes and ignited the first fire for the imminent finals.

The league is also focusing on publicizing the grievances between the two teams.

For example, the No.1 dispute between Ruan Erniu and James, the encounter between Ruan Erniu and Woodson's master and apprentice, the relationship between James and Paul, and other such main stories need not be said.

After the promotion, even the role players were not spared.

Ray Allen and Lewis, the former supersonic double guns, were also brought out and hyped when they met in the finals.

If there is a topic to be discussed, if there is no topic to create a topic, it must be published!

It can be seen that countries with different systems actually do similar things in many respects.

After the pad performance, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced through the statement of the on-site commentary:
For the Heat:

C Chris Bosh
PF Udonis Haslem
SF LeBron James

SG Dwyane Wade
PG Mario Chalmers
In fact, this lineup is just an illusion, because James, the SF, shows F on the subtitles, but in the game, he is actually a C.Once the team fell into a positional battle, he was almost the only player for the Heat to attack with the ball in the low post.

In contrast, both Bosh and Haslem are more on the outside on the offensive end, responsible for providing high-level output, emptying the inside, and opening up space for the Heat's outside assaulters.

Of course, James' position is much more flexible than last season, and even if James is really pushed to the 4th position, he is still playing the [-]th position in the third position.

For the Clippers:

C DeAndre Jordan
PF Ruan Erniu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG JJ* Reddick

PG Chris Paul
There is no change in the starting lineup, the key is the defensive issues of James and Wade.

Redick is indeed born with a lack of athletic ability, but D. Wade is also not the all-powerful Flash.

Before the game started, the cheek pumped water from the knee more than once.

As for James, due to the change of position, the person responsible for defending him this time has changed from Er Niu to Kawaii.

During internal discussions, the coaching staff has proposed more than once that Ruan Erniu should be used as the third position to limit James, and Kawhi should be responsible for still marking D. Wade, but Erniu himself finally rejected this idea.

"We have to have confidence in Kawhi. He is a fighter. James needs to take turns to go into battle. He will take the lead. I am very relieved!"

With one word, the Clippers' starting lineup was thus determined.

……

"If I still win this time, will you make the next decision?" Ruan Erniu deliberately said to James during the high-five and hug session before the start of the game.

This is standard psychological pressure!
James immediately replied, "I'll tell you the answer when I beat you!"

As for whether A KING has a lump in his heart, it can only be seen during the game.

At the beginning of the game, Jordan beat Bosh with a jump ball, and it was transferred to Redick. Redick passed the ball to Paul, who passed the half court with the ball.

Ruan Erniu asked for the ball from a high position, and facing Haslem's defense was an 18-foot mid-range shot.

"boom!"

Missed, but Jordan grabbed the offensive rebound and forced a jump shot in front of Bosh...

The basketball bounced several times on the rim, and finally fell into the rim when the players of the two teams huddled together under the rim.

The defending champion opened the scoring first, and it was Jordan, who played very proactively, who scored the first point.

Although it is not a contract year, Jordan's subjective initiative has indeed made great progress compared with last year.

Perhaps it was the middle of the season, Er Niu's meal played a role, and Jordan did have a lot of changes in the middle and latter part of the season.

For a frame-protecting center who relies on talent for food, this attitude is the most important.

On the offensive end of the Heat, Bosh held the ball outside the three-point line, and Erniu, who was in charge of switching defenses, had to save it. James took advantage of the situation and was about to get into position.

Bosh passed the ball directly, and hit back at 45 degrees from the flank. James chose to force Leonard.

Post up, gouge in, sideways feint, back turn and cut in, lean in, low force shot!
"brush!"

Go in!

Leonard defended well, but James' post-up technique has also improved a lot.

Judging from this offensive round, Heat coach Mike Woodson's tactics are actually very simple, that is, let James try to stagger Ruan Erniu's defense in the matchup.

Egghead is too aware of how terrifying the wild bull he unearthed is.

James is indeed full of talent, but it is not a wise choice to directly face Kraft.

The two sides began to test each other non-stop in the first quarter, and the record in the regular season cannot be used as the basis for the finals.

The two teams that broke through the playoffs all the way are quietly changing.

The Heat may have changed more in the 7 games against the Pacers. Although they do not have an advantage in physical fitness, they can enter the state earlier than the Clippers by virtue of the high-intensity confrontation in the Eastern Conference Finals.

At 27:23, the Heat temporarily led the home team by 4 points in the first quarter.

The game started quickly in the second quarter. Norris Cole, who played well in the Eastern Conference Finals, continued his excellent touch in the previous round. He first scored a three-pointer from the outside, and then broke into the basket to succeed. Provided an assist to Mike Miller from beyond the arc.

Fortunately, for the Clippers, Ray Allen and Isaiah Thomas also performed very well. The gentleman Ray quickly responded with two three-pointers, while the little assassin made several assaults to the basket to cause damage.

The subsequent time belonged to D. Wade and Paul, and the two teams' second masters began to perform against each other in the second half of the second quarter.

Here the Flash succeeded in the basket against Barnes' defensive assault, while Paul responded with a 17-foot pull-up jumper.

As the game time continues to advance, the intensity of confrontation between the two sides is also rapidly increasing.

The number of times the elbows and knees are raised is difficult to estimate, and it is extremely normal to hit a thick place and hug and fall.

The referee's whistleblowing scale is not too strict, and it is clearly encouraging confrontation.

At 51:51, after two quarters, the two sides drew to a tie.

Ruan Erniu scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists in the half, and James' data was also very close, scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists in the half.

In an interview at midfield, Ruan Erniu was asked what is the difference between meeting James in the finals for two consecutive years.

After thinking about it, Er Niu said: "The situation is different every year. I think my state is more relaxed than LeBron. After all, I have 4 rings in my hand, and he still doesn't have one."

In addition to the ring, Erniu also holds four MVP trophies, and James also did not get one.

The arena is a winner-takes-all stage. The more you win, the more chips you have, and the more chips you have, the more relaxed your mentality will be.

People who fail have been thinking about turning the tables, and their hearts will become more impatient.

It's like playing pesticides and gaining a huge head advantage in the early stage. It's not impossible to reverse the game, but the probability is too low.

Often before it reaches the late stage, the teammates' mentality explodes and they start to quarrel.

This is even more true for James and the Heat right now!

At the beginning of the second half of the game, James was blocked by Leonard for two consecutive rounds, causing the Clippers to seize the opportunity to play a wave of offensive climax.

Ruan Erniu made 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 14 points alone, helping the team establish a double-digit point difference before the start of the final quarter.

Also in this quarter, James made 5 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points. In desperation, he even pushed Leonard on the offensive end.

The impatient Heat tried to launch a final counterattack in the last quarter, but James seemed to have a weak sense of presence, because D. Wade and Bosh were responsible for the storm.

Cheek made 4 of 0 shots in a single quarter, and Bosh made 5 of 1 shots. Such a shooting rate naturally couldn't lead the team to a comeback.

James actually scored 6 points and 7 rebounds in the final quarter, but what the Heat, who were behind the score, needed was not a rim guard, but a leader who could lead the team to attack the city.

88:102, the Clippers defeated the Heat by a big score and got a good start to the finals.

Ruan Erniu scored 35 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, while James scored 18 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.

This is another story about Ji Shengyu and He Shengliang!
No matter how you look at it, James, who won the triple-double data, cannot be said to have performed poorly, but it is also a triple-double, and the Chinese are obviously the better side.

The much-anticipated G1 was successfully harvested by the defending champion.

More importantly, it is not Kraft Nguyen who is responsible for the matchup with James most of the time, but the second-year pick Kawhi Leonard.

At the beginning of the game, the position that was considered to be the Heat's offensive strength was firmly locked, which was an unexpected situation.

Kawhi became famous in the first battle. According to the current trend, he is likely to continue to defend James in the next series.

Once Kawhi can maintain tonight's suppression in the following games, the Clippers will definitely complete the defense more easily.

After the game, Ruan Erniu even gave his younger brother a very high praise: "I know Kawhi can do it, and we planned to let him defend James from the beginning.

In fact, he overachieved, spending most of the night against James, allowing only 15 to LeBron while scoring 18.

Don't forget, Kawhi is only a 2nd year, don't always say that the Clippers are a dual-core operation, remember the name Kawhi Leonard, he will be our third giant sooner or later. "

Popovich, who is on vacation, also expressed regret that they had a chance to trade Leonard, but they failed to do so.

No matter how you look at it, this boy with facial paralysis fits the temperament of the Spurs, but it's a pity that he belongs to the Clippers now.

The Heat, who were unfavorable in the first game, had to quickly adjust their status.

Losing Game 1 is frustrating, but the series has only just begun, and Miami is far from losing confidence.

The G2 game will be played three days later, still at the Staples Center.

12-13赛季的总决赛赛制还是没有发生任何改变，2-3-2的赛制在之前已经分析过多次。

For the home team, the first two home games are the most important. Once they lose one game, they will be under huge psychological pressure in the next three consecutive away games.

Therefore, the Los Angeles people who won the first game did not dare to be careless.

After the start of G2, the two sides did not have the same temptation as G1, but directly entered a state of fist-to-body confrontation.

The referee called 3 fouls in the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, which shows the intensity of the confrontation.

At 22:22, the two sides tied in the first quarter. The whistle and free throws became the main theme of the first quarter, and the game became intermittent.

In the second quarter of the game, someone from the Clippers stood up first, and this time it was not the outside player in charge of the main attack.

Dunks, putbacks, cuts, mid-range shots.

In 1 minute and 40 seconds, it was not Ruan Erniu, Paul, Redick, Ray Allen, etc. who scored 4 points on 4 of 8 shots, but Chris*, who has always been considered the blue-collar of the team. Anderson.

Birdman, who has made great contributions to the last two championships of the Eagles Dynasty, has been doing very well after becoming a substitute for the Clippers this season. The most attractive thing is his hairstyle and tattoos, but he is by no means the kind who can The player who was emptied.

Last summer, the Heat also pursued Birdman, but they held Caron Butler's big contract in their hands. After paying the luxury tax, they really didn't have more salary to reinforce, so they could only watch Birdman Went to the Clippers.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment of the finals, Birdman would stand up and give the Heat a fatal blow.

The Clippers found the X factor in this game, but someone from the Heat also stood up. Mario Chalmers, who scored the Heat's team-high 19 points in this game, is their hope.

Super Mario once led the team to chase the score to 5 points in the third quarter, but Ruan Erniu finally stood up and reaped the game.

In this game, Erniu scored 28 points, 22 rebounds, and 6 assists, and finally helped the team win G103 119:2.

James still looked a little sluggish under Leonard's defense. He only scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 41.2%.

This is the most fatal blow to the Heat.

The team leader was guarded by a second-year rookie for two consecutive games!
