Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

On May 17, the second game of the Western Conference Finals began.

In the first game, the Spurs gave the Thunder a dismount with their old and spicy ball style.

The big score took a 1-0 lead.

Kevin Durant played well in this game, with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, compared to him, Westbrook’s performance in this game was full of complaints.

Only scored 15 points but had 6 turnovers…

Popovich praised Westbrook before the game, calling him “the most aggressive No. 1 in the league right now.”

All kinds of sky-high rhetoric, almost a direct sentence:

When he rushes, the whole alliance will make way for him …

And in the game, they successfully took advantage of Westbrook’s problem that he couldn’t hold back when he went crazy, and various “breakthrough traps” were waiting for Westbrook to jump on himself.

To say that this “turtle” is really iron-enough, it is not enough to hit once or twice, it is to plunge into the encirclement of the Spurs again and again, and from time to time send the opponent a defensive counterattack.

At this time, Popovich praised even more ruthlessly:

“Our defence was very challenged… Westbrook is in big trouble for us in this game… Next, we still need to pay attention to his breakthrough … He’s the kind of player who will make you pay as soon as you let your guard down! ”

This infuriated Brooks.

Niang Xipi!

Can you stop pouring “soul soup” into this child?

See what it looks like for your child!

And pour?

This old man is so bad…

Wrong!

Bad!

Sure enough, under Popovich’s good manners…

Westbrook was even more determined tonight, and with his play, the Spurs opened an eight-point gap in the first quarter, and by the end of the first half, the gap was 15 points.

Brooks’ blood pressure gradually increased.

2 to 0!

The Spurs easily held on to their two home courts.

Before heading to Oklahoma for Game 3 of the series, Popovich his signature smile, rubbed his reddened nose, and continued his compliment for Westbrook: “I’ve been following Russell since he entered the league, he’s a very talented defender line, and if he continues to grow, he’ll become a representative of the league!” ”

Translate, that is…

Russell, this kid, is smart when he is young!

Brooks:……

Originally, when he shook hands with Popovich in the first game of this series, he still silently chanted in his heart:

College sent Brooks, I have seen old man Popovich, ask the old man to teach!

Now that two games are over, he is clear:

This teaching bureau!

He is at ease with the teaching fee!

May 18.

The New York Knicks played Game 2 of the series with the Heat.

Wade’s desire to attack in this game was clearly stronger than in the first game.

Almost hit with the ball!

After the first loss, the main point of contention was Artest’s elbow against LeBron James.

But Wade’s poor state was also criticized by many media after the game.

Originally, he was not selected for the “best team” this season, which has already made many experts shout “Wade can’t do it” and “his peak has completely passed”.

Now, this voice is also getting louder…

This season has undoubtedly been Dwyane-Wade’s biggest gap.

The slide was so fast that he couldn’t accept it.

At the moment, his more urgent desire than winning the championship is to prove his ability.

He wants everyone to know that “The Flash” is still at his peak!

He was also in good form tonight, coming up with both goals, but when Li Wan changed in front of him, he immediately became struggling in attack.

The original Heat won the championship in 12 and 13 years in a row, but in fact, these two championships were not very smooth. In the first three rounds of the 12-year playoffs, I stumbled a little, and after entering the Finals, I mainly encountered the young Thunder…

At that time, the call to win the championship was better, in fact, it was also the Thunder team!

Because they beat the Spurs, who are the number one in the league.

But the result is…

Young people do have to pay tuition!

Not to mention 13 years, without Ray Allenna’s three-pointer, the Spurs could have ended the Finals 4-2.

The reason is that the dominance of the “peak three” is not so strong…

The part about Wade is that his form has declined significantly since he became the team’s second-in-command in the Finals in ’11.

It’s the same right now.

His breakthrough is still sharp, but the terrifying “one-step-by-step” ability like the one in ’08 and ’09 has now been mitigated a lot.

With Li Wan’s “Death Entanglement” badge bonus, almost every ball can be completed.

Coupled with the absence of LeBron James around him, the Knicks can pack without scruples, resulting in Wade’s breakthrough threat like a toothless tiger.

It’s scary to watch!

Really speaking of efficiency…

9 of 24…

37.5% shooting percentage!

That’s the report card Wade handed over in this game.

After the game, he gasped with his hands on his knees and said silently in his heart:

Day 1 of LeBron James’ absence, miss him!

Youdao is:

Boil frogs in warm water…

After a second year with LeBron James, Wade is now somewhat uncomfortable with this defense where all his strength is concentrated on him alone!

Well, the most important thing is still because of Li Wan’s progress in single defense …

The “Death Wrapper” badge makes up for a large part of his lack of single defense, and Wade, a “second-order” scorer, he can already cope well.

If you add in the New York Knicks’ defense, it really is…

Little “Flash”, ridiculous!

This wave of single defense, Li Wan can give himself a score of 9!

Forget it, don’t play terriers …

10 points!

Defend 12 years of Wade like this, what a bicycle!

119-90, the New York Knicks also easily beat the Heat to win the second game of the series.

Li Wan easily cut a “triple-double” of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.

There are also 3 steals and 1 block.

Two of the steals were steals from Wade.

However, one is a steal in frontal defense, and the other is a defensive tackle that is in place.

In addition to him, Tyson Chandler had 15 points and 14 rebounds; Ray Allen scored 17 points; Lewis also scored 18 points;

Cook, who entered the starting lineup in place of Artest, scored 10 points on 2-of-3 three-point shooting in this game. The play is very eye-catching.

On the Heat side, in addition to Wade, who shot 9 of 24 and scored 21 points in the game, another “giant” Chris Bosh only had 13 points and 6 rebounds.

Before the start of this game, many media and experts thought that Chris Bosh would get more offensive rights in this game and play well.

After all……

The general view is that Chris Bosh is the “giant” of the “Big Three” who sacrifices the greater.

But as a result, with LeBron and without LeBron, Chris Bosh’s performance seems to be similar!

Heat fans are even more upset with Chris Bosh…

Among the Heat fans, the fans who prefer LeBron James are dancing with joy at the moment.

After the second game, they immediately felt that it was not a bad thing that LeBron James could not play… At least from this game, you can see what kind of bad impact the loss of LeBron Giegie will have on the Heat!

“Look at this game, guys yelling that Wade shouldn’t give way, can you shut up now?! ”

“A certain fan will not put gold on his face in the future, just this ability, don’t give up the position and wait for something!” ”

“Now, who pits whom? Without LeBron, the Heat actually lost by 29 points, can they still make faces? ”

……

Wade’s concession made the stars of the entire league envious and jealous of LeBron, if only I had such a useful “second old”!

At the same time, various media outlets are boasting about Wade’s determination that “in order to win, you can do whatever it takes” …

Even some Miami media outlets are saying, “Wade has done everything he can…”

The pressure came to LeBron James all at once.

Now that Wade has done it all, once the Heat loses, is it necessary to say more about whose head the blame falls?

The “Chosen Son” is under pressure!

They see it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts. Finally, this game showed the impact of LeBron James’ absence, and they can finally fight back!

Starting today, we announce:

Wade did not voluntarily give up the position, but he himself felt that he was old and had to give up the position!

Wade’s fans were not used to it, and immediately fought back, listing LeBron James’ poor performance in the Eastern Conference finals last season:

“Eight points in a single game in the Eastern Conference Finals, that’s something the supergiants can do? ”

“Not even Nate Robinson can stand it, or give that money to my grandma, who is more useful than LeBron!” ”

“I don’t know, I thought it was LeBron who was pitted in the Eastern Conference finals last season! This is also too sophistry, worthy of Ameriken, black can be said to be white! ”

……

These voices clearly affected the entire Heat team.

On May 19, the Heat, who returned to Miami, canceled plans for “open locker room interviews” and reduced the length of interviews from one hour to half an hour.

This was done apparently because he did not want the players to be disturbed by the outside media again.

LeBron James tweeted 7 tweets at the same time, the content is very similar, basically supporting his teammates, especially Dwight Wade, 4 of the 7 tweets are public support for his good brother.

This wave of 0 points, 0 boards and 7 Twitter performance made the scolding battle between Heat fans stop for a while.

The eyes of all Miami fans returned to the same question:

In the third game of the series, LeBron James still can’t play, what should the Heat do!

To this question, the Heat gave an answer on the evening of May 20, which was very simple in two words:

Cold!

The atmosphere in the Heat team is adjusted quite well, which can be seen from the mental state of all the members of the Heat team in the third game, who are eager to try and very positive.

But the New York Knicks’ restraint on the Heat is too obvious.

Li Wan can defend Wade alone; Lewis can single defend Chris Bosh…

Both “arrows” are pinched, the Heat don’t even have an X-factor, whether it is Chalmers, or this season’s “new favorite” Cole, Spoelstra’s “new favorite” Kerr, can provide performance, even Dai Quinn Cook can not match!

This year’s “All-Star Three-Point Contest Champion” played steadily tonight, contributing 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, including scoring outside the three-point line, shooting 1 of 2!

Don’t look at it, he only scored one goal, but that means the Heat can’t let him go easily.

This makes the Heat, who are not rich in defensive resources, even more like walking on thin ice.

Li Wan’s breakthrough therefore requires the inside players to block in time and chase and block. But in this way, there is more space under the basket.

The New York Knicks had 26 assists and Lee had 15, eight of which went to the basket. Tyson Chandler and Kwame Brown ate the same as “October pregnancy” in this game, and they couldn’t hold up.

“The King of Fighters” ended up with 18 points and 11 rebounds, just by looking at this score, you can see how overbearing he played this game!

Coupled with Kwame Brown’s eight points, the New York Knicks have already surpassed the basket scores of the entire Heat on the opposite side of the Heat alone.

Chris Bosh scored another new low, scoring just 11 points in this game…

Tyson Chandler is more powerful than Dayao is his defensive mobility, Chris Bosh, who was naturally restrained by Lewis, finally broke through Lewis, and had the opportunity to enter the basket, it was too late to get excited, and the next second will definitely see Tyson Chandler’s big face plate.

Such a scene has appeared many times in this game!

Wade’s scoring this time is over 40% shooting, scoring 25 points…

It’s not that he adapted to Li Wan’s defense, but when this game reached the third quarter, the point difference was almost 20 points, Li Wan looked at this situation, what else to prevent!

Directly pull up the fast attack, you can run the Heat to death…

At that time, he stopped focusing on defending Wade and began to strengthen his personal breakthrough points.

The New York Knicks’ offensive tempo quickly changed as he changed.

A wave of 11-1 scoring directly stunned the Heat!

The game also went completely into “garbage time”.

Li Wan scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the fourth quarter, and cut 29 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, as well as 2 steals and 1 block…

Another beating of Wade!

The big score came to 3-0…

The good news for the Heat is that LeBron James is back in the next game; The bad news is that the New York Knicks got the game point, and they had and only one chance!

For the New York Knicks, the good news is the opposite of the bad news, the good news is that if they win one more game, they can reach the Finals, and it is a 4-0 sweep…

The bad news is that Artest’s ban is still ongoing, and he has 3 games left before he can return to the team!

Although it is only the “tip of the iceberg”, but the peak LeBron James’ ability is strong, the New York Knicks are in the eyes, without Artest’s big help, how to limit him, has become the most important issue for the New York Knicks at present!

And on the Heat’s side, the returning LeBron James naturally became the hope of the people of the whole beach…

LeBron James also made a “speech-style” speech in a pre-match interview: “This is a challenge, there is no doubt that we are facing the most difficult moment, such a moment, for any team, despair, can not be optimistic…”

“But we’re not going to just give up, until the other side actually wins four games, no matter what, I don’t think, we must lose!” ”

“No one knows what will happen until the game is over! ”

“This is where miracles are born…”

“We, on our way! ”

Firm words, firm looks!

LeBron James’ words made Miami people feel as if they saw the “savior”…

In fact, this is indeed a perfect stage for LeBron James without thinking about the consequences!

The worst outcome is to be swept 4-0, but with the big score 0-3 down, and Artest hit the head with a “hammer spark”, no one will count this loss on his head!

But, from now on…

Every victory the Heat wins goes to his LeBron James.

There is no risk, it is all about profit…

LeBron James doesn’t have any psychological baggage or the like!

The 13-time “tie” record proves that LeBron James can give trustworthy performances as long as he is not so mentally burdened.

What’s more, the good news is much more than that…

Don’t forget!

Artest is still banning!

The thought of not having to face this madman made LeBron James feel more confident in himself.

The pressure was on the New York Knicks.

At least that’s what the media think…

But in an interview before the game, D’Antoni faced the camera, but he was calm, and he didn’t seem to regard LeBron James’ return as something that couldn’t be solved.

A reporter couldn’t help but ask: “Mike, have you already thought about how to defend LeBron?” ”

D’Antoni smiled mysteriously: “I believe in my players…”

In fact, time turned back to yesterday, and the face of “mustache” could not squeeze a little smile at all, full of restlessness, and was also all kinds of harshness for all the Knicks in the training match.

Fortunately, Mike Brown reminded him:

Man, we’re 3-0 now!

The words made D’Antoni stunned, and then consciously followed the chant:

“Yes, we are 3-0 ahead! ”

Not to mention, the precedent of being turned over in the NBA playoffs before it is 3-0 lead…

Let’s just say the state of the entire Heat team now…

LeBron James’ return does give them a shot in the arm, but don’t forget that they are now in a situation where “one foot in the air and the whole body is about to fall off a cliff”.

No matter what kind of “heart booster” it is, it is time-limited, and when the game starts, any unfavorable situation will make them subconsciously remember that they are in a situation where they are behind 0-3…

Once or twice is nothing, but five, six, seven or eight times?

The biggest difference between the series and the regular season is this, this is not a hammer sale, but a long schedule, the influence of various factors, may eventually form the deadliest kill!

The return of LeBron James has greatly enhanced the Heat’s combat power, but at this moment, the mentality of the entire Heat has become a new hidden danger.

Take advantage of this, and the New York Knicks can still dominate.

D’Antoni faced the camera and continued: “We have already thought of a way, and in due course, we will take this method out…”

The first reaction of LeBron James and the Miami media to hear D’Antoni say this was not anger, and then there was a desire to prove himself.

Artest is gone, you actually dare to be so crazy with me!

Skinny old men, see if I can’t do it, you’re finished!

Just after putting out cruel words and thinking about their current situation, they couldn’t help but launch the “power of searching”, all kinds of muttering:

What way will it be?

Don’t really have it, right?

It’s better to be careful!

LeBron James is a little unconfident…

The blood that burned the entire Heat team because of the return of the “Little Emperor” has all become cautious at this moment. Spoelstra also repeatedly emphasized that “once you feel that the rhythm is not right, immediately call a pause!” ”

No way, they really can’t afford to lose!

D’Antoni didn’t know that the Heat at the moment had a sudden change in atmosphere because of his words, otherwise, he had to take a goose feather fan, leave a goatee, and show a “laughing half-step” smile…

What kind of “empty city plan” is this!

In the future, please call me “Tony Zhuge “!

Amid the Heat’s skepticism, Game 4 of the series arrived as scheduled.

Before the start of the match, Artest turned into a “massage master” and gave everyone in the team a set of “big swords”, which was his way of expressing his apologies.

In the end, he couldn’t help but ask Li Wan: “Did you call Tian Ji’s buddy?” What kind of horse am I this time? ”

Despite being banned, Artest hopes he can make as much of a contribution as possible. Even sitting on the bench, he thought of Tian Ji.

In last season’s finals, Tian Ji’s phrase “superior horses do not prevent superior horses” made him suddenly open.

It is a pity that the master can only meet him on April 5 every year, and it happens that during the competition, he can’t see him, so he can only ask Li Wan to bring him a message and let the master solve his confusion.

Li Wandao: “The master said, your horse is called nothing!” ”

Artest’s eyes widened and he asked with his gaze: What is the solution?

Youdao is:

“The court is uncensored, playing with the god of nature! Li Wan patted him on the shoulder, “Ron, tonight, as long as you sit on the sidelines, we can definitely have the last laugh!” ”

When Artest heard this, he was excited: “Fruit, is it true?” ”

Li Wan patted him on the shoulder again affirmatively and walked onto the field.

“Toot! ”

The whistle that symbolizes the start of the game sounds!

It can be seen that the return of LeBron James has excited the whole of Miami, and the cheers on the scene are bursting one after another, listening to these cheers, Wade’s expression is more serious.

It was the cheers of the scene and the fighting spirit aroused.

But out of the corner of his eye, there was a little more bitterness that seemed to be absent…

The cheers from the scene illustrate the impact LeBron James has on the city at this moment.

Although Wade didn’t want to compare, he couldn’t help but chant:

Much bigger!

Compared to the sideline audience of the previous game, this one is much bigger!

This is indeed LeBron James’ city…

The successive blows made Wade suddenly regret a little… Shouldn’t I give up the position of “boss”!

If Li Wan hears it, he will definitely be surprised, because the original Wade gave birth to regret, it was after retiring, to be precise, it should be the time of the ranking round on the 75th anniversary of the league in 2021…

Because since then, Wade has repeatedly talked about many things in 2011, such as the fact that he sent a message to LeBron at the beginning, and the latter did not reply. When the summer trade market came, he just made an appointment with Chris Bosh, and didn’t know that there was LeBron James…

For example, at that time, he gave up the position of the boss, and he also went through a tangle, but the situation made him have to make such a decision…

Anyway, it’s all kinds of secret rubbing and spitting.

But now the season is not over…

He regretted it?

All right……

It can only be said that the situation is pressing!

After all, the original Wade was not so miserable this season. At least entered the “best three teams” and won the final championship.

Where is it like now…

The “best team” did not have his name, and was “publicly executed” by Li Wan, and most importantly, the championship had nothing to do with him.

It’s not that the Heat have said it now, Artest’s suspension is the X-factor in this series.

But the question is…

At the moment, the score is 0-3, even if you finally enter the finals and win the championship, the flowers and applause are all LeBron James’s, and he has nothing to do with half a dime!

One more one…

Originally, until his retirement, the outside world evaluated him as follows: he knew the general and was willing to sacrifice for the championship.

Now it’s different, it’s said outside that he is old and has to retreat to the position of “second old” …

It is also these changes in various aspects that make Wade, who was originally a little resentful because he retired to the position of “second oldest”, even more grumbling at the moment.

He suddenly glanced at Artey, his gaze inadvertently fell on his elbow, at this moment he had a hundred million hopes…

At that time, Artest “elbowed” a “elbow” object, how good it would be if he had!

Anyway, he feels that LeBron James will not be much better without him and lead the team alone, and the results of these two games for the Heat will not be much better!

Artest also noticed Wade’s gaze.

He saw a “provocation” from it!

However, as “uncensored”, Artest chose to pretend not to see!

In this game, he will follow what Master Tian Ji said, be his “uncensored”, and let his teammates on the court, especially Li Wan, be a natural god!

The first attack belongs to the Heat.

The first goal was a testament to the impact that LeBron James brought back to the table.

The flank holds the ball and watches teammates run.

The Knicks’ No. 3 starting substitution today became Deshaun Stevenson.

In the original 11-year finals, he was the one used by the Mavericks outside to defend LeBron…

The good talent for physical movement and staticism has allowed this veteran to always defend the league.

It’s just that in the face of LeBron’s strong impact, he can only resist the first blow, and Tyson Chandler quickly made up for it… That is, their defensive fit when they were with the Mavericks.

Here and now, just like then.

But LeBron James in ’12 is not LeBron James in ’11, his impact and explosiveness are at the peak of his own, Tyson Chandler has been in time, but still a step slower, he can only continue to move sideways, completely out of position he freed up the right side of the basket, Wade saw the timing to complete the open cut. – This is the scoring method that the no-ball “Flash” is best at.

When he gets to the basket, the ball goes to the basket.

He raised his hand to shoot, and the ball successfully fell into the basket.

2-0！

LeBron pointed at Wade.

Come up is the “Janway Connection”!

That’s what the Heat can’t offer without him!

His presence maximizes Wade’s return on every success.

Of course, this is in exchange for possession of the ball.

You can’t say whether he made or lost money.

The New York Knicks fight back.

Li Wan took the ball to the front court.

With the return of LeBron James, the Heat have recreated not only “Janway Connection”, but also “Janway Bag”! Li Wan found Ray Allen on the move.

Chalmers showed positivity and pounced, Ray Allen paused a little before making a move, trying to make a foul, but the referee didn’t give it, and the ball bounced out…

“Snap! ”

The confrontation under the basket, but the final winner was LeBron James!

He used his impact to protect the rebound.

Then quickly pushing, Wade slowly paced into the three-point line, confronted Ray Allen, and suddenly played a small move, successfully pushing Ray Allen away.

There is a black one, and “Uncle Wei” is also black!

Ray Allen suffered.

When he went back to look for it, “Janway” successfully connected again and dried the ball into the basket.

4-0！

Li Wan stood up at this time, steadily blocked the mid-range, hit a shot, and scored the first goal of the New York Knicks of the game.

2-4！

Heat side.

It was LeBron James again, found Chris Bosh in the bottom corner, and then quickly rushed to the basket, the “dragon king” had a spirit to throw the ball near the basket, when the ball eye was about to fly over the basket, the “little emperor” held the ball with both hands, a small lever in the air, and dunked the back of the ball into the basket.

I wipe it!

Chris Bosh, who passed the ball, was dumbfounded, what a strange move to get rid of gravity!

Compared to the talent, “Son of Cleveland” really did not lose!

6-2。

D’Antoni wanted to call a timeout.

Bill Wharton couldn’t help but mention: “LeBron is in too good shape, it’s not at all like a patient who may have a concussion that needs to be observed!” ”

Drexler listened to his partner say this, recalled Artest’s elbow at that time, and nodded with trepidation: “This guy is really not human, uh, I mean… What a monster! ”

In his opinion, if it were not for the league’s mandatory “observation period”, I am afraid that LeBron James would continue to play in the second game of the series.

Mike Brown stopped D’Antonis’s idea and the game was just beginning…

“Phew! ”

LeBron James then came with another snap.

Mike Brown: …

Now he also muttered in his heart:

Otherwise, just give a pause, right?

No!

That’s too fierce!

Is Stevenson so different from Artest?

On the court, Li Wan scored another goal, and then took the initiative to switch defenses in front of LeBron James…

The two “No. 23” that used to be are right!
