Chapter 91 Crouching dragon and young phoenix, there is spring too!
"Smush Parker made a direct breakthrough, using his body to open the way, completely unreasonable, and breaking through Payton's defense. In the end, he was still too old. At the moment Parker took action, Payton suddenly exploded and interfered with Parker's shot.
…”
Bang-dang——!
Parker, the god of death, became distraught when he heard this and missed the target from close range.
Fortunately, the Lakers have a "Great White Shark" inside. Chris Mihm, the king of cost-effectiveness, grabbed the frontcourt board, took a shot and scored the basketball.
Subsequently, in the Heat's offensive round, Antoma Walker's three-pointer missed.
During the scramble for the rebound, Kwame Brown defeated Haslem and handed the basketball to Odom.
The left-handed magician Odom broke through Haslem's defense, pulled the ball for a layup, and used a left-hand slam dunk, showing his strong physical talent.
Immediately afterwards, Su Bei's three-pointer also missed because of trouble with Kobe's defense just now.
Still unable to grab the rebound, Odom picked it off. Next, Odom posted up Haslem and attracted the defense. After assisting Chris Mihm, he caught the ball and hit a two-point jumper.
"The Lakers' rotation lineup is playing against the Heat. God did not care about the Heat tonight. Their shooting touch was too cold..."
On the sidelines, Stan Van Gundy yelled at the court. He was dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the court.
Kobe, as the core of the Lakers' offense, is resting off the court. Before he comes on the court, it is a good opportunity for the Heat to widen the gap.
He just didn't expect that he would place his bet on two former All-Stars, Payton and Walker, only to end up with disappointing results.
Especially for Walker, he couldn't shoot three-pointers, which disrupted his tactical layout.
The left-handed magician Odom, the king of sex-price comparison Chris Mihm, the god of death Parker who changed his mind when he heard it, Jordan's hand-picked number one pick Kwame Brown, Slovenia's supreme soft-boiled man Vujacic...
Wolong and Chufeng each have outstanding performances and can make money for the Lakers... no, make points. The scene will be terrifying!!
Seeing that the Heat went from leading by 1 point to falling behind by 5 points, and couldn't stop it, Stan Van Gundy could only play his trump card in advance and put Wade back on the court.
On the Lakers side, Jackson stood still and let Kobe continue to rest.
Wade is really awesome. As soon as he returned to the court, he used a sharp breakthrough to cause Smushparker's thug to foul.
Swish—!
Made two free throws, steadily recovered two points, and was only 3 points behind.
"On the court, during the Lakers' offensive round, Smushparker actually chose to challenge Wade, stepped down and dribbled continuously, suddenly changed directions to break through, stopped for two points and forced a shot..."
Peng, shua——!
After the basketball hit the board, it still got into the net.
Smushpark withstood the pressure. His style of play was very unique, but it just wasn't suitable for the team. However, coming from a street ball background, he did have some skills in one-on-one situations.
At least he is not afraid of Wade, who is making a name for himself, and who dares to show off his talents in the best defensive second team, Wade.
Also, Parker can ignore even Kobe Bryant's death glare. How can anyone who dares to compete with Kobe for the ball be afraid of Wade?
With Wade's appearance, the Heat's offensive firepower picked up, but it failed to narrow the point difference between the two sides.
Two minutes later, Kobe, who had rested for nearly five minutes, returned to the court.
"Kobe comes on the field and will take over the Lakers' offense. The Heat are still 5 points behind. Next, the Heat will be in danger!
It’s useless to give you a chance. Now that the Lakers’ most powerful humanoid weapon is released, it will definitely be enough for the Heat to drink..."
Bang-dang——!
As soon as he came back, Kobe shot a three-pointer without any expectation.
The basketball slid out of the hoop.
If it hits, given the Heat's current state, it can almost kill the game.
"The rebound was still grabbed by Kwame Brown. His rebounding data will definitely be in double figures tonight, and he performed like Rodman..."
Beep——!
When Kwame Brown wanted to dunk, Haslem could only interrupt with a tough foul.
Bang-dang——!
Swish——!
Playing under pressure, Kwame Brown still felt a little guilty and missed one of his two free throws.
Fortunately, the Lakers took a 6-point lead.
On the court, the Heat came back from attack, and Wade and Su Bei started a pick-and-roll tactic.
Su Bei received a hand-to-hand pass from Wade, and before Kobe's defense change was in place, he quickly shot a three-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei's three-pointer is solid again.
"After being attacked by Kobe for two rounds, Su Bei's shooting touch as a rookie was obviously greatly affected.
Maybe he doesn’t even know why he lost his shooting skill pack..."
Mourning and Haslem, one at 2.06 meters and the other at 2.03 meters, cannot beat Kwame Brown at 2.11 meters and Chris Mihm at 2.13 meters, plus Odom at 2.08 meters and 1.0 meters
Kobe, who was 98, would also rush back to keep rebounds. It would be extremely difficult for the Heat to grab offensive rebounds.
Bang-dang——!
Kobe shot another shot from beyond the three-point line.
"The difference is that the Lakers had a rebound, and Odom rushed in, took off the offensive rebound, turned around and passed the basketball to Kobe who rushed in.
Bang-dang——!
Kobe caught the ball in the penalty area, dunked on Mourning, and blasted the basketball in..."
At this moment, the combination of Kobe, Odom and Kwame Brown exerted the power of the Big Three of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman.
However, the Heat's double guns were in danger of trust. After Wade and Su Bei screened, they chose to force, start, accelerate, European step to pull the ball, and shot a two-point jumper from close range...
Swish——!
"Wade's sudden attack talent is terrifying to the naked eye, while others' defensive actions are like slow motion.
Forced a two-pointer to keep the Heat alive."
"Now we have to see if we can make some achievements defensively and prevent the Lakers' offense."
"Kobe Bryant hit two three-point jumpers again. Wade predicted Kobe's attack, but he still didn't predict Kobe's determination. He was really daring to shoot and score despite Wade's block.
…”
Swish——!
After two consecutive three-pointers, Kobe finally, finally scored a three-pointer.
1 out of 3, which cannot be said to be exactly the same as the three-iron game, but even if it is similar, it still hurts the Heat very much.
A difference of 9 points.
The Lakers left the Heat with more than 3 minutes.
At this time, Jackson made personnel adjustments at this time, replacing the "NBA's No. 1 Battery" Brian Cook with Chris Mihm, who was severely physically exhausted, and replacing Smushparker with Vujacic.
"The Lakers' lineup adjustment requires the whole team to spread out and give the damn basketball to Kobe to play in isolation!
With 9 points, coupled with the firepower of the league's top shooting guard, the Lakers may have completely overwhelmed the Heat..."
Moreover, it is not possible, but certain.
On the Heat's side, Stan Van Gundy was helpless and could only gamble on three points.
Looking back, Su Bei withstood the pressure and hit a three-point shot, scoring his 12th point.
However, Kobe's offense also opened up.
The physical fuel tank is full, the shooting touch is found, and his teammates are not holding back. Such Kobe has no solution offensively and is impossible to win.
"Kobe Bryant's breakthrough, layup, and score also caused Wade's hitter to foul.
Wade tried his best to catch up and block Kobe, but his skills were still inferior..."
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
According to the score, the Lakers defeated the Heat by 6 points, giving the Heat their first defeat of the new season.
O'Neal scored 24 points and 7 rebounds in two quarters, but it was a pity that he was too wasteful and injured himself.
Wade scored 29 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. The efficiency in the first half was very good. Unfortunately, O'Neal couldn't play, and the efficiency in the second half took a big dive.
Su Bei made 5 of 9 three-pointers and scored 15 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds. He scored all the points in the second half.
It can be said that this is the only consolation for the Heat in this game.
Kobe performed superbly, hitting 9 three-pointers and scoring 47 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. He almost single-handedly defeated the Heat, showing the level of the league's top shooting guard.
Losing to the Lakers is not the end. The Heat are aiming to compete for the championship and will not regard the Lakers as their enemy.
However, this game also made the Heat realize a lot of things and reminded them.
For example, Wade and O'Neal, the two core players, both have injury risks.
If any one person falls, the Heat's road to the championship will probably end.
The bench is not as strong as expected. Mourning, Payton and Walker are no longer stars and can only serve as supplements to the team. It is impossible to put the burden on them.
Also, head coach Stan Van Gundy's coaching ability does not seem to be able to control this championship-level team.
In the fight with Jackson, he just made one or two moves at random, but Stan Van Gundy had no power to fight back.
If he meets Popovich, wouldn't he be suppressed to the point where he can't hold his head up?
You must know that there are not many times left for the Heat to compete for the championship, and how much energy O'Neal still has.
With O'Neal's injury, the Heat feel like a storm is coming.
