Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 99 The Peak Showdown ([-])

The finals of the NBA2011-2012 season are finally here. The Eastern champion Miami Heat and the Western champion Los Angeles Lakers are about to start their peak duel.

Game 73 of the Finals will be played at the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.Before the game, except for the local media in Miami, the media in other places were unanimously optimistic about the Los Angeles Lakers.First of all, the Los Angeles Lakers achieved the best record in regular season history with [-] wins and [-] losses in the regular season.Secondly, the Los Angeles Lakers have been undefeated in the entire playoff journey so far, and they have swept their opponents out with ease.Among all the teams participating in the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers starters have the least average playing time. The Lakers are almost playing with two sets of lineups. The difference between the substitute lineup and the main lineup is not very big. Of course, this is also due to the gathering of stars.Again, the Los Angeles Lakers have no obvious weaknesses, or it can be exaggerated to say that there is currently no team that can make the Los Angeles Lakers expose their flaws.Finally, the main reason why the media is optimistic about the Lakers is that the perimeter players are completely equal to or even have an advantage compared with the Heat's players.As for the comparison of inside players, the Lakers have an overwhelming advantage. The Heat do not have a qualified center, or the position of the center in their system is not important.Last season, when the Heat played against the Lakers, they could still take advantage of the weakness of the Lakers' inner twin towers' slow movement speed, but this season, the Lakers' backup center Li Yifeng's movement speed is simply a super big bug, completely surpassing the league. The average speed of the defenders alone is a headache for the inside players he is facing. In addition, he has the footsteps at the basket that are not inferior to Yao Ming, and he is simply a demon for the inside players of other teams.Fortunately, Li Yifeng is relatively lazy, and likes to solve problems with mid- and long-range shots when attacking, so as to reduce useless work.

The lights at the Staples Center dimmed, and the players of the visiting team, the Miami Heat, who played first, were not greeted with cheers, but boos in unison.When it was the turn of the home players to play, the cheers almost toppled the roof of the arena!Even the fringe players on the Lakers got huge ovations when they came out.

The order of appearance of the Lakers has changed compared with last season. Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol are still the last and penultimate players to play respectively, and the penultimate players are Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng The two ran out together, and the Lakers have made up their minds to renew their contracts during the offseason and use them as the core of the team after Kobe Bryant retires. Not to mention the huge Chinese market behind the two, it is against the ball. In terms of the role of the team, the two are also indispensable.

The players lined up on the field and the American national anthem was played before every game.However, what Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng thought of was the Chinese national anthem. This was the first time that a Chinese player really stood on the stage of the playoff finals. Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng had reason to be proud and proud. It can be said that this is the The world's top game scene!
The starting lineups of the two teams were displayed on the big screen above the court.

The Miami Heat's starting lineup is center Udonis Haslem, power forward Shane Battier, small forward LeBron James, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, point guard Mario Char Moss.Chris Bosh is still on the bench.

The starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers is center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward World Peace, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Derek Fisher.The Lakers' starting lineup changed back to the configuration with the highest frequency of starts in the regular season.

The referee on duty for today's game is the league's famous golden whistle-Joe Crawford.With the sound of the whistle, the battle for the championship officially began.Andrew Bynum scored the winning jump ball with Udonis Haslem, handing the basketball to his teammate.

Basketball soon came to Derek Fisher's hands.Derek Fisher sighed in his heart, "Finally stepped onto the finals again, as if I have seen the O'Brien Cup beckoning to me. I didn't expect that I would also have the opportunity to get six championship rings." .”

Derek Fisher is very clear about how he got his start. As the captain of the team, as a member of the five-time Lakers champions, and as a veteran whose career has gradually faded, the team's coaching staff deliberately let him Starting, and just going through the motions, it is estimated that the playing time will not exceed 10 minutes, but even so he is already very satisfied.

Derek Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt and controlled the rhythm. The Lakers' lineup can't get up fast, and it is necessary to suppress the rhythm of the game.Derek Fisher saw Andrew Bynum asking for the ball and immediately lobbed the basketball.The Lakers' opening strategy is very clear, playing the Heat's weakness-the inside.

With the ball in both hands, Andrew Bynum backed Udonis Haslem and pushed back to test the strength of the opponent's defense.Then Andrew Bynum turned forward with his left foot as the axis, and his right leg had already strode out.This is a common method used by Andrew Bynum, bumping to squeeze the space, turning around to hook or shooting.

Udonis Haslem moves to prevent Andrew Bynum from scoring, but Andrew Bynum steps back half a step and sidles past Udonis Haslem for a layup with his left hand Easy two points.

Andrew Bynum's footwork around the basket is actually very good, not to mention that the team also has Li Yifeng, a guy whose footwork around the basket is not inferior to Yao Ming, and his basic skills are good. , can always learn something new from each other.

Miami Heat offense, Mario Chalmers dribbles the ball upcourt, then hands the ball to Dwyane Wade on the right.Dwyane Wade drives past Kobe Bryant and passes to LeBron James.World Peace's defense of LeBron James was too affectionate, as if he wanted to hold him in his arms and love him, which made LeBron James' heart beat wildly.

After receiving the pass, LeBron James did not choose to attack by himself, but quickly transferred the basketball to Sean Battier, who was emptied outside the three-point line at about fifty degrees on the left.Shane Battier made no adjustments for the pass and shot.Shane Battier, with a steady hand, made a hollow shot for the Miami Heat's first goal of the game.

The strategy of the Los Angeles Lakers is very clear to attack inside first, allowing opponents to narrow the defensive range and create opportunities for outside offense.The second offense still hoisted the basketball to Andrew Bynum.This time the Miami Heat decisively adopted a pinch defense against Andrew Bynum.

After Andrew Bynum attracted the defense, he passed the basketball to Pau Gasol and made an inside match.Pau Gasol made two easy points with a mid-range jumper two meters from the basket.

In the 4th minute of the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers took the lead in calling a short timeout to make personnel adjustments.In the game just now, Shane Battier hit two [-]-pointers from the same spot, and LeBron James also hit a [-]-pointer from thirty degrees to the right while still on a drive It caused Pau Gasol's foul, and he scored three points with a penalty.

The Miami Heat led the Lakers at home by four in the opening four minutes of the game.The Lakers made zero three-pointers before.

Lin Fengzhe replaced Derek Fisher after the timeout.Lin Fengzhe did not catch the Lakers frontcourt ball, but cruised outside the three-point line on the other side.Soon the basketball came into Lin Fengzhe's hands, and Mario Chalmers was defending him.Lin Fengzhe made a false breakthrough after changing the speed of the dribble. Mario Chalmers raised his left leg and retreated. Before landing, Lin Fengzhe took off and took a three-pointer. After a "boom", he fell into the basket and was only one point behind the Heat.

Mario Chalmers receives a pass from a teammate.Lin Fengzhe adopted a full-court pressing defense against Mario Chalmers.If Udonis Haslem, who served the ball, hadn't helped block Lin Fengzhe, it would have been a question of whether Mario Chalmers could dribble the ball to halftime.

Mario Chalmers went upfield and immediately handed the ball to LeBron James.World Peace's movement speed is still not fast enough. After LeBron James made two fake moves to raise the focus of World Peace's defense, he immediately broke through with a short body and hit two points with a throw after an emergency stop.

Lin Fengzhe broke through with the ball in the front court, and Shane Battier, who was closest to him, immediately came up to defend from the side.Lin Fengzhe made an emergency stop and pulled back the basketball with his right hand and passed it directly to Pau Gasol who was let go by Sean Battier.

Without a good shot, Andrew Bynum passed the basketball again, and the Lakers reorganized their offense.Lin Fengzhe dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and passed the basketball to Kobe Bryant who ran out, while he ran without the ball with Mario Chalmers.

World Peace and Lin Fengzhe made a small cooperation to block Mario Chalmers. Kobe Bryant immediately passed the ball to Lin Fengzhe who ran out of the open space. He hit a mid-range jumper and Lin Fengzhe scored five points in a row.

In the rest of the first quarter, Lin Fengzhe didn't score again, but he sent out four assists. Under his arrangement, the Lakers' offense was much smoother than at the beginning.At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers went ahead and took a 26-24 lead at home.
