At 2:30 in the afternoon on December 25, 2006, the American Airlines Center in Miami was bustling with people. Although O'Neal was sitting neatly on the sidelines wearing a particularly large suit, he was still the focus of the media's attention. Already three times
Although the fifteen-year-old Shark is not as glamorous as he was in previous years, he is still powerful. As long as he appears, the media will always gather around him unconsciously.
In addition to him, there is also a lot of media gathered around Flash Dwyane Wade. On the Lakers side, Kobe is the one surrounded by the most media. There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant is the most popular tonight.
One of the important protagonists.
This summer, the Heat can be said to be the team with the least changes in the league. The main lineup has been retained. Thirteen of the original fifteen players are still on the team, basically retaining the championship lineup from last season. However,
Their record this season is not very good. The age of the main lineup has increased by one year, and injuries have begun to increase. Coupled with O'Neal's injury and retirement, so far they have only achieved 12 wins and 14 losses.
The record is completely different from last season's record.
Although the Heat were clamoring to defend their title at the beginning of the season, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Heat want to defend their title this season, their success may be too small.
Because O'Neal was injured and unable to play, the Heat's starting center for this game was Michael Dorejak, which is also a weak link in the Heat's lineup. In the past, with O'Neal, the Heat had one of the best centers in the league, but once O'Neal was injured, more
Lijak, the backup center, is somewhat unqualified.
In addition, at the power forward position, the Heat sent Anthony Walker, who is also the most important offensive point inside the Heat. The small forward is Jason Kapono, and the shooting guard: Dwayne Way.
Germany, the point guard is Glove Payton.
Although O'Neal could not play, he still came to the sidelines to cheer for the Heat. His funny rap before the game, his arms around Wade and let the media take photos, and his passing by Kobe pretended not to see each other. They all became
The media kept pressing the shutter to capture the footage.
As for the Lakers, the starting lineup has not changed much. The center is still Andrew Bynum, who the Lakers have trained hard, as the starter, power forward: Ronny Turiaf, small forward: Bill Walton, shooting guard
:Kobe Bryant, point guard: Adrian.
After more than a month of running-in, the Lakers' main lineup has basically been determined. Unless there is an injury, this main lineup will not be easily replaced. However, Lamar Odom's injury not only made the Lakers in the small
The forward position is stretched thin, which also reduces the offensive power of the Lakers' bench lineup.
Therefore, it also relies more on the performance of the main lineup.
When the two sides jumped the ball, Bynum took off hard, hit the basketball first, and hit the basketball into the Lakers half. After Adrian grabbed the basketball, he dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt and looked at the other players.
After getting into position, he handed the ball directly to Kobe.
Kobe made two fake moves in a row, opened up a little space and immediately made a step-back jump shot. Although Wade's reaction was perfect, it was still difficult to interfere with Kobe. But just after he came on the court, Kobe's touch didn't seem to be very good.
, the ball bounced out of the frame.
The Heat immediately started fighting for the basket. In the end, Anthony Walker won the rebound by virtue of his positioning advantage.
Arriving at the Lakers' half, Gary Payton made a few fake moves in front of Adrian. After finding that he could not easily break through Adrian's defense, he handed the basketball to Dwyane Wade.
Dwyane Wade vs Kobe Bryant.
Flash vs Black Mamba

The duel between these two people is really exciting.
Kobe lowered his body, let go a little distance, and stared directly at Wade's shoulders. They are both top players in the league, and they are naturally very familiar with each other. Wade's shooting is not very good, although he has always been
He is practicing his shooting, but it doesn't have much effect. His biggest scoring weapon is his lightning-like breakthrough.
Suddenly lowering his body, Dwyane Wade suddenly took a step to the right!
A fake move?
Kobe quickly judged in his mind.
"No, no!"
Surprised instincts commanded the body, but it was still not enough for Kobe to keep up. In the flash of lightning, it was difficult to see clearly what was happening. Dwyane Wade had broken through Kobe's defense and went directly to the inside.
Bynum and Turiaf immediately surrounded him, but Wade showed no intention of stopping and rushed directly to the inside. His jumping body collided with Turiaf in the air and lost his balance.
, the basketball flew up from Wade's hands, bounced on the basket a few times, and got into the basket!
"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle without hesitation and made a gesture that the ball had scored two plus one.
"So fast!"
Although he was not facing Dwyane Wade, Adrian still couldn't help but be surprised by Wade's speed as he watched from the side. His powerful explosive power made his first step incredibly fast. Because of his center of gravity.
The pressure was extremely low, and the range of direction changes was extremely large, making his feints very deceptive.
Just now, Dwyane Wade relied on his superhuman explosive power to break through Kobe Bryant's defense with pure speed. But what surprised Adrian even more was Wade's balance in the air.
After encountering an impact and his body was already out of balance, Wade was still confident that he could send the ball into the basket, resulting in two plus one. Although it has been known for a long time that this is Wade's proud scoring method, and the shooting rate is not low,
But when you actually see it on the court, it's a different state of mind. At least Adrian has no way to maintain a terrifying sense of balance with a certain hit rate in that kind of physical imbalance.
Although there was a two-plus-one opportunity, Wade's free throw bounced out of the frame. Turiaf held down Anthony Walker to get the rebound, and then handed it to Adrian.
Although fans probably really want to watch Kobe and Wade score against each other, the Lakers' offensive tactics today are more focused on the inside. Compared to the Heat's outside, their inside is very weak. If O'Neal can play,
That's another way of saying it, but O'Neal can't play, and Anthony Walker alone is obviously not enough to support the Heat's inside line.
The most important point is that as a veteran, after winning the championship and getting the coveted ring, it is really a mystery how much motivation Anthony Walker has left, at least with his performance this season.
He hasn't been doing well. He obviously has no injuries, but his performance on the court has dropped a lot. His playing time has also been reduced to only 23.3 minutes.
On the other hand, although the Lakers' inside line is not top-notch in the league, it is much more reliable than the Heat's inside line without the Sharks.
After Adrian finished positioning inside, he passed the ball directly to Andrew Bynum, who was taking up position near the baseline, and then started running with Bill Walton.
Andrew Bynum squeezed back a few times with his back, but failed to move. Although Bynum has talent that everyone envies, talent is still just talent after all and has not been developed. When he found that he could not squeeze with his back
When I played against my opponent, I immediately didn't know what to do.
Adrian happened to run over with Bill Walton at this time. Seeing that Bynum seemed to have no means, he immediately made a gesture to him. Bynum, who was worrying about what to do, saw Adrian's gesture.
He immediately passed the basketball in his hand to him and put his hands together on his crotch. His strong body directly blocked the pursuing "Glove" Payton.
After catching the ball, Adrian's legs jumped slightly. Dorejak immediately jumped up and tried to block Adrian's shooting route. However, Adrian did not shoot, but held the ball with both hands and shot hard to the right.
A hard hit. Andrew, who had just blocked Wharton, moved over. When he caught the ball, there was an empty space in front of him!
"Bang!" Without any other action, Bynum jumped up suddenly and slammed his arms towards the basket.
