Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 212: Brother, Are You In… Play me, right?

May 19.

The Western Conference finals also followed.

Kevin Durant has really grown a lot, at least this time when facing Kobe, he is no longer unilaterally beaten. Instead, he can have dealings with Kobe.

In the No. 1 position, Westbrook can also respond in a timely manner against Delong Williams.

In terms of interior configuration, Perkins fought with “Little Shark”.

Pau Gasol faced the talented Ibaka, with his offensive performance and a little suppression. But on the defensive end, his performance is not as good as Ibaka!

“18 Cards” gradually established the Thunder’s starting position in the second half of the season, averaging 2.4 blocks per game, and in the playoffs, this number soared to 3.1 per game!

That’s an exaggerated number, you know…

This season’s “block king” Bogut is averaging only 2.6 blocks per game!

There was no obvious strength in any position, and the Thunder had James Harden on the bench, so much so that at the end of the first half, the two teams were 54-50.

This anxiety lasted until 5 minutes and 14 seconds into the fourth quarter, when the Lakers suddenly changed their tempo, with Delong Williams and Paul Gasol blocking and cooperating, and Kobe Bryant, who was looking for an open space, hit consecutive shots.

The point difference also widened at this time, 110-100, the Lakers defeated the Thunder by 10 points, winning the first game of the series.

Kevin Durant after the game was not depressed, the game was not divided until the last moment, and he himself was unilaterally abused by Kobe Bryant last season to form a counterattack, these are all improvements…

He believes that this round of the series will definitely not come to fruition as quickly as last year…

On this point, Kobe Bryant has the same attitude, this game Kevin Durant scored 28 points, 45% shooting percentage, really not last year’s “new scoring king” who can be kneaded by him casually.

After another season of growth, now Kevin Durant has officially entered his peak…

The game was hot, and in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks won by 20 points on their home court.

By the end of the first game, everyone was saying that if they couldn’t stop the New York Knicks’ interior lineman from doing whatever they wanted under the basket, it would be really difficult for the Heat to change the situation.

Spoelstra obviously listened to this, and the Heat stared at Dayao under the basket from the beginning of this game, as long as he took the ball, it was a bag without hesitation, and the attitude was called a resolute.

It worked well at first, but as soon as the New York Knicks became familiar with their defensive approach, they immediately activated the shooter group on the outside.

It is said that in the stage of the playoffs, relying on three-pointers to win is very risky.

The Rockets’ 22-point shot in a row is a living example.

But the situation is different…

First of all, the New York Knicks’ interior has a strong containment.

The Heat have also shown their focus…

Secondly, the New York Knicks’ outside has the league’s top shooters, not one, but two!

Good shooter, good shot space, equal to…

15 three-pointers in the game!

Hitting so many three-pointers in one game for a long time in the case of a long drop in position…

It’s really an exaggeration.

For comparison, the Heat played the whole game, and the number of 3 points hit was 9…

On the three-pointers alone, they lost by 18 points!

Kenny Smith concluded after the game: “If I were Eric, I would definitely have a headache right now…”

Barkley said, “I may just submit my resignation letter!” ”

Prevent the outside line, your inner line explodes; Prevent the inside line, your outside line explodes!

How does this make the manager lay out the tactics?

Think about the piles that have surrounded Spoelstra this season, piece by piece…

He really wants to declare Spoelstra the hardest manager of the season!

Li Wan’s statistics in this game were 25 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists.

From the number of assists, you can see why he didn’t get a double-double in rebounds this time.

These guys shot too accurately tonight!

Especially Ray Allen and Lewis.

The former ended up hitting a total of 5 three-pointers tonight, shooting 5 of 8!

The latter hit 4 three-pointers and 4 of 8!

The “Seattle Twins” made 2/3 of the three-point shooting of the New York Knicks… It is also for this reason that fans in Seattle can’t help but miss the past.

In the 04~05 season, the Supersonics with the “Seattle Twins” as the core ranked third in the West, and I thought it would be a hearty season.

As a result, only the second round was brushed off, and the Suns also lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, and for a while, the entire league was saying that shooting alone could not win the championship.

At that time, Seattleiters really believed it, and now watching the “Gemini” shine in the New York Knicks, they just want to say one thing: If only the SuperSonics had a Li Wan back then!

They were nostalgic for the past, and the entire Heat team stepped on the plane back.

The cabin was lifeless, and the whole atmosphere was dignified, as if frosted.

Trailing 2-0 is not the end of the world, but trailing 2-0 is only 6% chance of winning the series!

LeBron James’ entire career with a 2-0 trail in the case of a rollover probability is a little higher, reaching 33.3%; Wade also had experience falling 2-0 down and eventually winning the entire series.

But in the case of “20 shots” for two consecutive games in the series, this probability and experience are not enough to see!

In this situation, it may only be possible to invite Taryn Lue, Li Wan said that he has dog luck, it’s no joke, this guy coaches the players, after falling 2-0 in the series, complete the reversal, and finally win the series probability of 67%!

If Rivers is “3-1 leading and not to be taken lightly”, then Tyronn Lue is “1-3 down is a fart?” Don’t panic, we can win! ”

The Lakers and Thunder also played the second game of the series, and the two teams that did not divide the winner until the fourth quarter in the last game, this time they were stunned until the last minute.

Kevin Durant, who shot 0 of 5 in the fourth quarter, drank a glass of Gatorade between Brooks’ last timeout, and I don’t know if this cup was filled with Scarlett’s “bath water” or something, and he returned to the court and hit consecutive three-pointers, including a three-point “quasi-kill” in the final 2.3 seconds.

101 to 100.

The Thunder relied on Kevin Durant’s “quasi-kill” to take the victory from the home court of the Lakers with a one-point lead.

The big score is 1-1 draw!

Kobe’s whole expression was obviously different when he left the court.

Nowitzki: I know this, and after I killed that time, he also had this expression!

“Obviously, it’s a tough moment, but there’s a lot tougher than this one, we’ve all overcome it and now we’re going to do the same thing, which is to keep overcoming it, on our home turf, to bring back the disadvantage!” ”

Before the start of Game 3 of the Knicks-Heat series, Wade showed his role as a team leader in front of the media.

LeBron James, who was standing next to him, also followed suit: “We need to play more aggressively! I believe that we will not fall so easily! ”

Wade heard his words and turned to look at LeBron.

For the strength of this old brother, “The Flash” has always recognized it, in the playoffs in 08, the Heat and the Cavaliers played 6 games, they each made a surprise move, spied each other’s depths, and finally LeBron was deeper and Wade lost.

He believes that as long as the two brothers show their normal strength, they will solve the current dilemma and they will return to New York with the series!

That’s what Wade said, and that’s what he did…

As soon as the game started, he showed strong momentum, continuing to attack with the ball, and seven of the Heat’s first 10 points came from him.

As the main defender, Li Wan felt a lot of pressure.

Even this year’s “Best Defensive Team”, when facing a super-giant scorer like Wade, can clearly feel four words:

No limits!

Wade, who was invested in the offensive end, also did his best on the defensive end, although he did not prevent Li Wan, but various defenses, so that tonight’s New York Knicks outside projection group did not open very smoothly.

Until 6 minutes and 15 seconds into the first quarter, the “Seattle Twins”, who contributed a total of 9 three-pointers in the previous game, have not yet opened.

It’s just that the result of such investment at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is…

His physical strength is somewhat inadequate!

Before 7 minutes arrived, I was a little out of breath.

Seeing this, Spoelstra immediately changed his formation and changed LeBron to Li Wan’s face again.

Wade also gave LeBron a high five when he changed defenses:

You can do it, you can do it!

What he didn’t notice was that LeBron James had some nervousness on his face.

He heard everything Wade said in an interview with reporters tonight, and he knew at that time that his buddy would definitely show two hundred percent strength tonight.

Desperate to fight for victory in this game.

But he really didn’t expect that this guy’s performance tonight could explode to this extent!

At 7 minutes and 10 seconds into the first quarter, the Heat still led by 1 point on their home court, which is inseparable from Wade’s explosive performance, no, it should be said that this is completely because of Wade’s performance!

After all, everyone else except him is just playing normally.

Including him…

This game is only 4 points so far!

Of course, this is a factor that has not reached the time of his shot, and it also has a lot to do with his not being in a very good state tonight.

So far in this game, LeBron has shot 6 times and only scored 4 points… In the face of Artest’s close entanglement, as well as Li Wan’s haunted assistant defense interception, and Dayao’s timely standing blocking, LeBron James is even more temperamental than the Finals in ’07!

At the moment, the offensive end is wasted, and when his good brother is performing so vigorously, the aspects he can use his strength may be…

Defensive end!

Defend…… Is it?

It’s not that he can’t do it!

He was the ultimate “Defensive Team of the Season” this season, but while Wade was preoccupied with the offensive end, he was assigned the task of defending.

This team status…

Although when the Cavaliers came to the Heat, LeBron James already said to himself in his heart:

No matter what I do, what I have to do now is to win the championship as soon as possible, even if it is a substitute for the championship!

But, how does Lu Xun say something?

Oh yes, you won’t know how sad you are until then!

LeBron James is going through that moment at this moment, and having called himself “King” since high school, he must admit that this is hundreds of times worse than what he thinks is the worst situation!

I was like… Naturally more suitable for the protagonist!

This is his somewhat awkward mentality, and there is also a little nervousness.

While his offensive performance is not satisfactory, the defensive end has become the only way he can redeem himself now, if he does not defend well…

In the first two rounds against Li Wan, his defensive quality was not very good.

LeBron James didn’t dare to think any further.

Li Wan also held the ball through the half-court at this time.

He immediately greeted him.

Li Wan faced LeBron, who changed defenses, first observed, and then slowly dribbled towards the three-point line.

LeBron James constantly observes his left and right sides with afterlight to prevent his opponent from sneaking up and giving him a “humanoid wall”.

Li Wan noticed this, and took advantage of LeBron James’ afterglow to the side again, directly a “blow-up ball breakthrough”, LeBron James just reacted, Li Wan rushed from his side.

Maybe Li Wan didn’t expect it to be so easy, stunned for a moment, only then moved the mid-range jumper after the step, and hit it easily!

One step over…

Spoelstra was stunned, the Miamins on the scene were stunned, Wade, too!

No, brother, you this!

What are you guarding against?

Wade’s eerie look did not escape LeBron James.

But LeBron also looked embarrassed at the moment.

Can only sing the same songs as Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Howard:

I can pretend not to see ~

The goal scored, and the Knicks overtook the point difference.

Wade, who was eager to chase the point difference back, in the next shot, a little hard, Li Wan’s hand has been sealed in front of him, he also forcibly projected, and Li Wan split his head and covered his face with a cap.

Or “scratch the hat”!

The humiliated Wade complained to the referee with an impatient expression, and he didn’t know what he was complaining about, probably just to divert the humiliating scene in front of him.

Li Wan said that I understand this!

That’s what you do on the field!

Li Wan grabbed the ball and quickly launched a counterattack, the Heat team is controlled by the Nicks in every aspect, and there is really nothing to say about mobility alone.

When Li Wan arrived at the front court, LeBron was already waiting with a serious face.

Li Wan looked at his serious appearance, and I don’t know how, he suddenly thought of “old fish”, so after approaching more decisively, another “fried ball” feint completed the breakthrough from next to him.

Or one step at a time…

Wade watched the ball fly out of Li Wan’s hand, fall steadily into the basket, and look at the background of his good brother, and he wanted to ask:

Brother, you are in… Play me?

The second day of Yang, last night once burned to 40 degrees, sweating much better, 39 degrees in the morning, taking medicine and sleeping back to the cage feeling significantly improved, the current 37 ° C, a little dizziness, the body is slightly soft, a little cough, other symptoms are not, I hope tomorrow the symptoms can all disappear.
