Chapter 38 James' counterattack against Coach D!(2/3)
So after returning from the timeout, the Heat did not change their style of play. It was James who tried to help James prove himself on the court with a space lineup suitable for him.
Seeing this, Budenholzer shook his head.
With the Heat's spacing lineup, even if James can prove himself, the Heat can't beat the Lakers.
Don't say that Kobe is crazy now.
Even if Kobe is in poor condition and misses even one shot against James on the outside, Howard and Gasol can still kill the Heat inside like a duck to water inside.
The space lineup that James brought was originally the most suitable for attacking fast, but now he is trapped in a singles duel with Kobe, that is, a positional battle, and his own advantages cannot be used at all.
Such a small-space lineup, playing positional offense with the Lakers' twin-tower lineup, isn't this suicide?
No matter how big the space is, James' first thought is to challenge one-on-one rather than break through and score. The Heat's shooters don't have many opportunities. Even if they have the opportunity, James' hesitation will disrupt the offensive rhythm.
The more Budenholzer thought about it, the more he felt that Coach D was indeed a genius in taking advantage of the Heat reporters' harassment before the game to mess with the Heat and mess with James.
Budenholzer watched the game in shock.
Taking the Lakers, a low-dog team that would be defeated by the Heat in any head-to-head matchup, and bringing them to beat the Heat, this...
"Bobo, Coach D is so awesome!"
After sighing from the bottom of his heart, Budenholzer asked again.
"Bobo, will the Heat lose this game?"
"Won't."
"..." Popovich's answer stunned Budenholzer.
Now that James is on top and the Lakers are playing against the Heat, the Heat are going to collapse no matter how they look at it?
And Coach D is so good...can he fail to seize the opportunity?
"I know James, and I also know the Heat. James is very smart. He knows what stop loss is. The Heat is indeed not something that the Lakers can beat. Even if there is one quarter left in the game, the Heat can beat the Lakers. Now, the game
Just played one session."
"..."
Popovich's words silenced Budenholzer again.
Yes, as long as James stops his losses in time, the Heat are still not something the Lakers can beat.
And at this moment.
On TV, the Heat requested a timeout.
And it was James who was holding the ball who took the initiative to call a timeout!
"LeBron James actually requested a timeout!"
"This is what makes LeBron James different and powerful."
Popovich smiled, seemingly not surprised at all.
Seeing the smile on Popovich's face at this time, Budenholzer was stunned for a moment.
I'm afraid the whole world doesn't know that Pop has been studying the Heat and James for a long time...
"Maybe Bobo can be like Coach D and bring surprises to the world!"
…
…
James himself requested a timeout, which really shocked the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
Even the three commentators on the scene were very, very surprised.
"Perhaps Coach D is the only coach in the world who has a smile on his face when he sees James actively requesting a timeout."
"I'm really curious whether there is anything in this world that surprises Coach D."
"Coach D is probably the most reassuring coach for the players. I like this kind of coach!"
The game was paused again.
Du Kang knew very well that after this timeout, the direction of the game would be completely different from before.
James will wake up from his state above.
Although the Heat's space formation remains unchanged, James will play very smart and no longer thinks he can beat the aging Kobe. The Lakers' defensive pressure will greatly increase.
James will still beat Kobe, but if he can't beat Kobe, he will hand the ball to Wade.
And Wade can really get in!
Wade's emergency stop shot after a breakthrough step was simply incomprehensible against the Lakers.
Howard was pulled away by Bosh.
Kobe was pulled away by James.
The Lakers' only two reliable defensive points are not in front of Wade.
One-on-one, Wade can kill the current Los Angeles Lakers from the top of the city to the bottom of the city.
Such a powerful Wade made Ham next to Du Kang speechless.
"Why do I feel like Wade is dueling with Kobe in this game?"
"..."
Du Kang said nothing, but James, who was passing by with the ball, almost walked because of Ham's words.
Then James glared at Ham angrily.
That look made Ham tremble.
After all, Hamm, now recognized by the media as the number one player in the league and a mere assistant coach, is really nothing compared to James.
Seeing the trembling Ham with his big head and thick neck, Du Kang really wanted to laugh more and more.
It's not the appearance and temperament that makes Ham laugh, but...
"I didn't expect you to have a good mentality when it comes to messing with James."
His assistant is really not a very eloquent person with a dark heart.
When these words came out of his mouth, people felt very surprised.
Is Hamm the kind of weapon specially designed to deal with James?
Or was it such a coincidence that he said those words and James passed by with the ball so coincidentally?
Although James habitually likes to dribble the ball from near the sideline into the penalty area.
But this is indeed too coincidental.
"I always feel that you will have a bad relationship with James in the future."
"..."
"Kidding."
Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, and Ham also smiled bitterly.
He is a mere nobody. Even if he is taken away by Du and has struggled for 20 years, he still cannot have any interaction with a player like James.
…
…
Du Kang withdrew his gaze from Ham and looked at the field again.
After the timeout, due to Wade's effort, although the Lakers still had the advantage on the court, the game did become anxious.
"LeBron, if you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, give it to me. I will support you!"
Wade sat with Blake, and after hitting a very beautiful fadeaway jumper, he smiled and gave a thumbs up to James who just passed the ball to him.
Wade seems to be very relaxed now. This Laker really gives him whatever he wants, and he can play however he wants.
Facing the praise from my friend Wade, I thought back to what the Lakers assistant coach just said.
James couldn't be happy at this time no matter what.
Although he knew Wade meant well.
He also knew that this was the only possibility for him to regain his position.
He can now see that he can't beat Kobe one-on-one.
After the same thirty shots, he would be defeated by Kobe.
But Kobe took thirty shots and he took fifteen. He was confident that his shooting percentage would be higher than Kobe's!
As long as the Heat win this game, his shooting percentage is higher than Kobe's, and his assists are not low, he doesn't think the media will think he lost to Kobe!
As for the fans’ opinions, does it matter?
Coach D said that basketball game statistics are not important, but the players' efforts in the game are important.
To be continued...
