Center first

Chapter 387
An operation that lasted more than three hours tormented the hearts of many Lin Yi supporters, but the good news from the chief surgeon still made them feel that their prayers were not in vain, and Lin Yi only needed rest and physical therapy to recover. Four weeks away from the basketball court, for Lin Yi, this is already a blessing in misfortune. Although it seems a pity to be far away from the finals, he is not like Yao, who has to stay away from this arena for a year. He is still young , There are still opportunities to continue to hit the highest honor.

Lin Yi's operation went very smoothly. He didn't even feel what kind of changes had happened to his body before it was over. This also made many people's hearts go back to their stomachs. Only then did Rogge realize that the original The health of this little guy has already involved the interests and future of too many people. It seems a bit exaggerated to say that he affects the whole body, but now at least half of the residents in Miami are worried about this kid's recovery. It is a popularity that makes Wade feel jealous.

Popularity is a strange thing, not just an outstanding player can become the object of attention, he needs too many factors to make up, but for Lin Yi, this is not a difficult task, his outstanding performance on the field and Crazy energy has become a symbolic figure in Miami. All Miami fans believe in one thing. As long as Lin Yi is on the court, no one can freely shuttle under the basket in Miami. As long as this little No one can run wild on Miami turf with a guy on the court.

This is a sense of trust that is difficult to express in words, and this is also the influence brought by Lin Yi's actions. Lin Yi's strong nerves and explosive style of play on the field are the reasons for his exuberant popularity. When Lin Yi propped up the sky of Miami with his own hands on the field, he has already imprinted his shadow deeply in the minds of the fans. This is a memory that no one can erase, even if he retires one day Yes, those who have watched him play will still remember that in the city of Miami, there used to be a big man from the East who was the guardian here. Under his nose, even Kobe and the little emperor None of the characters have a way of hitting the Miami Heat's rim.

Unlike Lin Yi's successful operation, the Miami Heat were not so lucky. They finally didn't have to endure those crazy boos at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. They returned to the American Airlines Center. It feels like these guys who just lost the game feel a lot better, but the shadow brought by Kobe in the last game has not completely dissipated.

In the second game of the finals, Kobe scored 47 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Such comprehensive data is definitely worthy of anyone's pride, and it can even be said to be comprehensive. A level that makes people feel horrible.Kobe's madness continued. Although his score did not directly reach 50+ like in the first game, the defensive pressure this guy brought to the Miami Heat did not weaken at all, and even became more serious.

If in the first game he just continued to cause trouble for the Miamis on the offensive end, then in the second game, this guy almost assumed all the offensive and defensive rights of the entire Lakers, except that his offensive stone still In addition to being sharp, this guy also actively marks any Miami Heat player who dares to hold the ball on the outside and try to break through. Kobe's oppressive defense not only won 3 steals for himself, but also destroyed Miami many times. The passing and cutting cooperation between the players has often delayed Miami's offensive speed.

Whether it is the younger generation like Chalmers, or Stackhouse who is working hard on the basis of experience and on-the-spot response, they are completely suppressed by Kobe alone. No one can easily organize the ball in front of him, and This guy's recovery range is very large, and he can often make up defenses to the area under the basket. The two blocks in his statistics were directly sent to Haslem in the defense under the basket. Kobe's first Once, he was very violent when he was making up the defense. He even faced Haslem with a very fierce expression after he slapped Haslem's shot. If Gasol hadn't separated the two sides in time, maybe these big guys Another physical altercation would break out.

And Kobe's strong desire to attack doesn't just appear in a certain period of time, he is so excited almost in the whole game, whether it is offensive or defensive, this guy's movements are full of aggressiveness, anyone who tries to fight Those who messed with his rhythm failed, let alone anyone who could restrain his crazy desire. The entire Staples Center Arena became full of life again because of Kobe's strong performance. The guys who were depressed during the game finally found a place to vent their emotions. They were shouting for Kobe crazily. Whenever Kobe pierced the defense of the Miami Heat, these guys Appeared very excited.

Phil Jackson knew very well what happened to Kobe. The Eastern boy who was absent from the game gave the almighty Peter Pan too much stimulation. Regarding the stealing video at the last moment of the first game, Kobe once He watched it countless times that night, as if he wanted to find out how his intentions were seen through by his opponents, but he failed. Not only him, Zen Master also pondered over that video after the game, He also couldn't figure out how that oriental boy saw through this tactical arrangement.

In fact, for such a steal, even Lin Yi himself could not explain it clearly. Maybe it was really like what Van Gundy said. It was a natural reaction to danger. When Kobe Bryant stood up, he had already realized Knowing that that guy is not the final finisher, in his subconscious mind, the end point of the ball is on the outside, and he is also betting. As for the final result, Lin Yi himself said that it is just his luck, if Kobe's passing direction is the basket, so what is waiting for him may not be the applause of praise, but the curse over and over again.

Maybe it was luck, but in Kobe's eyes, he only knew that it was a failure that he couldn't change, a complete failure in his own territory, especially when his hands were hot, and he had to bear such a A defeat, this is an unforgettable shame for Kobe, he refused to accept any interviews after that game, not because he was difficult to deal with the questions of those reporters, but because he wanted to win back in the next game, he not only To win the next game, he still wants to win the big man from the East, and he has to use his actions to tell everyone that he is the ultimate owner of this championship. Accidents that should have happened.

Kobe believes in the supremacy of strength. He doesn’t believe in any rhetoric. He only believes in writing his legend with the most authentic actions. Only by playing the craziest game on the court can he recover what he has lost. This is Xiaofei The hero's choice.Just like when his reputation was discredited, he believes that only actions on the field can erase those scenes that he doesn't want to recall, and only by continuing to play on the field can he reflect his value.

But that nasty Eastern kid didn't give him such a chance. When Kobe had enough energy to defend his honor as the Lakers' ruler, that guy left the stage of the finals because of a damn injury. He didn't Given a chance for Kobe to come back, Kobe will not consider whether Lin Yi is willing or not, he only knows that he is not, even if he brought the scores of the two teams back to the same starting line in the second game, and Being once again cheered as the MVP by more than 2 people in the Staples Center Arena did not make Kobe feel any excitement.

The peter pan's anger can be seen in a photo taken by a photographer. When he successfully broke through Stackhouse's defense, he used a one-handed split dunk to tug at the rim His eyes were filled with a chilling coldness, this guy didn't yell loudly to express his dissatisfaction, but he had already expressed his dissatisfaction with his actions, he didn't care if the defenders were doing something wrong, he Just want to beat the guy who just beat himself with action.

But that damn kid won't be on the court anymore, he didn't even sit in the audience to watch the game, which made Kobe suffocate the anger of failure in his heart, when Peter Pan fell into a crazy situation , It was an unstoppable existence, even a foul couldn't stop him at all, this scene was not only staged at Staples, when the third game started, those Miami Heat supporters , I also saw that crazy Kobe in the American Airlines Center, that guy was like a crazy bull, rampaging through Miami's defense line, anyone who tried to intercept him, the only thing he could catch was the remaining Shadows in the air.

Spoelstra, who returned to his home court, is better at controlling the atmosphere here. He can even ignite the entire American Airlines Arena in an instant, but this does not help the game much. Even if the 2 people here can Use the loudest voice to support your team, but after all they are not players and cannot play for these guys. Without Wade and Lin Yi, the gap in strength will not be reduced because of their shouts. Miami Heat In front of the Lakers, they are still at an absolute disadvantage, which is an irreparable shortcoming.

Moreover, the Lakers who came to Miami were very calm in the third game. No provocative behavior or tricks could stop them from moving forward. The most important thing is that the old fox of Zen Master gradually controlled the initiative of the game. He began to ignore all off-court factors and put all his energy into the game. Phil Jackson knew very well where his opponent's weaknesses were. In the third game, he would also let Kobe be the main attacker, but he also Putting Bynum, Odom, and Gasol on the field, Zen Master's intention is very obvious. He will not follow the opponent's rhythm. He does not want to let the last chaotic battle continue. He doesn't let the game mess up.

Use the individual abilities of a few ace players to control the rhythm, use your own height advantage to control the space, and use the powerful combination of the inside to control the basket. This is what Phil Jackson meant by letting the three of Gasol be on the court at the same time. He will not require these big men to score many points, but he will choose to require these big men to control the rebounds in the front and back courts. This is a deadly order. If it cannot be completed, it will be considered Gaso For an absolute main force like me, he would just push him back to the bench and sit there.

Zen master will not fight bloody opponents. What he wants is an absolutely sure success rate. He does not need to play fast breaks, and he does not need to ask his players to chase points quickly when they are behind. All he asks for is stability.He will not give the opponent any chance to comeback, he just wants to hold back the opponent's lifeline, height is the advantage of the Lakers, and their control of the inside will also become infinitely expanded because of this advantage, when the opponent's lineup Without the Oriental kid, the Miami Heat's rebounding control ability will fall to the bottom.

The game was developing exactly as Zen Master estimated. Throughout the first half of the game, the Lakers almost controlled more than 60.00% of the rebounds. They greatly reduced the chances of the Miami Heat's second attack. Defense has kept Miami's shooting percentage around 35%. Although the Lakers gave up opening the opponent's inside space to create opportunities for their own players to break through, these guys' sticking to the basket made the entire Miami The Heat fell into a scoring drought.

The breakthrough without Wade made it difficult for the Miami Heat to break through the opponent's defense line. Now the opponent has settled down to fight the Miami Heat hard, which makes the Miami people who do not take advantage of their height even more embarrassing. Bunche Wells' big butt back kick and McDyess' interspersed running both lost their power because the opponent's three big men defended the basket. After all, in terms of absolute height, only Magloire They can be on the same level as the opponent, but when it comes to technology and strength, there is no one in Miami who can carry the banner of their inside pillar. At this time, no one will miss Lin Yi's role.

Gasol and the three of them only scored 17 points in the first half, but these guys teamed up to grab 29 rebounds, especially the one who was scolded bloody in the first game. Andrew Bynum, he grabbed 12 rebounds alone, and he even took the time to give Bunche Wells a big cap, and the Miami Heat team only got 17 rebounds, and most of them are defensive rebounds, their inside completely lost the role of a barrier.

It is not a terrible thing for the Lakers not to score inside, because they have never lacked scorers, and even the guys sitting on the bench can come on the court to shoot a few at any time, not to mention their number one When the attacker didn't turn off the flames throughout the first half, he scored 17 points in 30 minutes. Look at the efficiency of that Peter Pan. He even suppressed the entire Miami with a single score in the second quarter The offense, and the entire Miami Heat team does not even have a double-digit scorer. The highest scorer is only McDyess who scored eight points by relying on his mid-range shots. In addition to these eight points, he also An additional contribution of only three rebounds.

This is probably what Spoelstra is most worried about. The wise old Zen master stopped fighting some boring tricks with him. The opponent has already settled down to compete with the Miami Heat. I don't care anymore, this old guy now only looks up occasionally to look at the score on the scoreboard, and the rest is to exchange opinions with the assistant coaches around him. Throughout the first half of the game, he seldom even called a timeout on his own initiative. As for standing on the sidelines and giving loud instructions, he would never do such a thing. That confident look simply made the Filipinos helpless. Facing such an old man with no emotional fluctuations, he had nothing to do.

He had no choice but to go all out. During the half-time break, Spoelstra gave everyone an order to pass, cut, and penetrate. Everyone became a fulcrum. There was no fixed passer and inside line. Everyone is active in the area he is best at. As long as he is open, anyone can complete the shot. He will not restrict these guys anymore, and he does not need these big men to play the game. Now he just wants to let This damn situation can be saved, at least don't go on like this. Miami's home court has never been controlled. It was the same before and it is the same now. How disorganized.

Spoelstra's desperate counterattack set off a heat wave of counterattack in the third quarter. A 17:5 climax swept the entire American Airlines Arena in 4 minutes. His style of play forced Kobe to Give up the rest time on the bench and make another appearance.But even if Kobe played again, he couldn't suppress the counterattack of these lunatics all at once. The Miami Heat relied on the strong counterattack in this quarter to narrow the point difference between the two teams to single digits. .

However, the short-lived madness could not last after all. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat once chased the score to within 5 points, but when the opponent's touch and control returned again, their most powerful attack just now Being suppressed by the Lakers, when the final score was fixed at 97:85, everyone knew that it was really too difficult for the Miami Heat, which lacked two core cores, to win.

However, the news that the Lakers took a 2-1 lead in two games in a row only stayed on the newspaper for one night, because another explosive news had spread throughout the league, which was about News on the future of the Miami Heat. . .

(Hey, AC Milan, why did you turn off the flame at the critical moment? Cry... You were going to win yesterday, so you were the top of the list... It's too tragic, Inter Milan is tied, and you are also tied...You guys It’s really a city... so sad...)
