Four hundred and fortieth chapters opponent's battle
After eliminating the Thunder and advancing to the finals, San Antonio people were almost crazy with excitement.
They couldn't believe that they could defeat the Thunder with an incomplete team lineup. With a final score of 4:2, they eliminated their opponents and entered the finals.
You must know that the Spurs have won the championship more than once since entering the 21st century, but they have never established a dynasty!
At this time, the San Antonio people who have advanced to the finals hope that the one who will enter the finals with them is the Miami Heat.
They also eliminated their opponents in this way last year. If they can win the championship with those three guys again, then the Spurs, who have won two consecutive championships, can finally be said to have established a small dynasty.
But at this time, the Eastern Conference Finals are not over yet.
Currently, the Heat and Pacers are tied at 2:2. The two teams are evenly matched.
After the Western Conference Finals, the people of San Antonio held a grand celebration. Not only that, Popovich also gave Chen Feng and others three days off.
Because the series between the Heat and the Pacers would take at least five days to end, Popovich asked Chen Feng and others to adjust for three days before starting training.
…………
On June 11th, US time, Chen Feng came to Miami to watch the fifth game between the Heat and the Pacers.
Of course, Chen Feng didn't come alone, he came with him, and Emma and the three of them.
As the Heat's top star, LeBron James has always been their most stable scorer. Although Wade has proven himself to be a super scorer this season, the core of the Heat is still James after all.
James' strength has long been proven, and he is worthy of being the number one player in the active league!
The Heat's first offense was led by LeBron James.
"If the opponent in the finals is the Heat, I wonder if Kawhi can guard James." Chen Feng looked at this scene and muttered to himself.
After talking to himself, Chen Feng started texting and playing with Emma.
The Heat succeeded in their first attack. And it was completed by James. The Pacers players also know that this game is another difficult game. If you want to win the game, you must first lock in
Their boss, James. Secondly, play team defense and offense. Only in this way can their hope of winning be greater.
Long before the game started, Stotts told them that they should focus on defending LeBron James. Now it seems that what Stotts pointed out is very correct.
But looking back, Paul George hit the ball from mid-range!
Wade's breakthrough was very superb, which made Stephenson very cautious. Stotts naturally placed the burden of defending Wade in his hands in this game.
Stephenson deliberately opened a little distance. Unexpectedly, Wade pulled a green onion on dry land half a meter outside the three-point line, and the ball hit the net.
With Stephenson's defensive ability, it is obvious that Wade will not be able to play so easily, but he is too afraid of Wade's breakthrough. The result of being cautious is counterproductive.
Stotts shook his head helplessly. This time it was not entirely Stephenson's mistake. In fact, Wade's ability was too comprehensive. He could attack, defend, pass, and shoot. Let the players guarding him
It's never possible to figure out his next move.
An old guy can still make progress, which makes his opponents helpless!
The Heat made several passes from the outside but never found a chance. Chalmers had no choice but to pass a ground pass to the inside.
Chris Bosh immediately leaned forward to grab the ball. There was no Pacers player under the basket at this time, so he only needed the ball. He turned around and succeeded.
"Pa", a figure flashed in front of me, and the ball was naturally not in hand.
George's innate sense of opportunity allows him to always run at the front of the team during fast breaks. Roy Hibbert's passing quality is not high. Fortunately, there are no Heat players around him, so it is still easy.
Sent the ball into the basket.
This is the characteristic of the Pacers. Although their offensive power is insufficient, their fast break ability is still good!
Spoelstra's face is getting more and more ugly. The Pacers' tactics are obviously aimed at the Heat. The three insiders have almost strangled the connection between Chris Bosh and other teammates. The outside touch is not very good either.
, he only hit one of his four shots, and even his open shots missed.
The Heat called the first timeout, and when the paint was frozen and the outside shooters had poor touch, LeBron James made two accurate mid-range shots, which finally did not allow the Pacers to open the score.
Seeing the commotion on the Heat's bench, Stotts knew the Heat's next move.
The Heat came back into action, with veteran Ray Allen taking Wade's place.
Ray Allen gave the Pacers a start as soon as he came on the court.
Stephenson's lateral pass was successfully intercepted by Ray Allen who suddenly appeared, and then he ran wildly with the ball. The Pacers players had already penetrated into the Heat's half. Stephenson's pass error caused
Everyone was caught off guard. Although Stephenson tried his best to catch up afterwards, the distance between the two became wider and wider. They could only watch as Ray Allen succeeded in a layup.
Although Ray Allen doesn't have any ostentatious celebrations, his indifferent temperament still makes people feel very good, and he has the flavor of a superstar!
Just ten seconds later, Stephenson countered the Heat with a precise three-pointer. More importantly, the ball was made under the defense of Ray Allen.
…………
LeBron James' breakthrough is definitely top-notch in the league. His outstanding speed and excellent physical confrontation ability make him almost invincible in his breakthrough. Paul George's defense is very good, but he still can't have much advantage.
, James used his physical advantage to easily break through the Pacers' first layer of defense.
When LeBron James broke through to the free throw line, he passed the ball to Ray Allen. However, Ray Allen did not stick to the ball. I have to say that the Heat did a very good job of sharing the ball.
The ball returned to the hands of LeBron James, but at this time he had no chance to take action. Paul George had already appeared in front of him. Under Paul George's defense, LeBron James had to secretly frown.
He raised his eyebrows. In offense and defense, the offensive side has the advantage. There are many choices in offense, but the defensive side must firmly hold on to its bottom line. Any simple oversight may cause the defended side to break through.
.
The ball was sent to the outside again, but the attack time had jumped to 21 seconds. After receiving the ball, Chalmers didn't even have time to adjust his center of gravity, so he hurriedly shot a three-pointer and missed a three-pointer.
Dip.
David West grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly handed it to George Hill.
Chalmers couldn't stop Hill's breakthrough at all, and Hill easily rushed into the three-point line. However, this time LeBron James had noticed the situation here. The moment Hill started, he had already given up on George.
, to make up for Chalmers' omissions. As for his position, other players will naturally fill it.
However, he underestimated Hill's passing ability after all. Before he could successfully defend, Hill had quickly handed over the ball. The ball was passed smoothly and steadily, and the ball speed was very fast. The Heat players
Before he had time to make up the defense, Paul George had quickly adjusted the ball in his hands and easily took off from the three-point line.
"Wow", the ball fell cleanly into the basket!
On the Heat's side, LeBron James singled out George and made a beautiful fadeaway jumper, finally scoring 2 points for the Heat.
LeBron James' offense is too unpredictable, making it difficult for defensive players to guard against him, especially after his shooting gradually stabilized.
"Whoa", George took a step back, quickly opened the distance between him and James, and easily hit the opponent's head.
"Bang," Ray Allen's jump shot failed. Anderson grabbed the offensive rebound and then distributed the ball to LeBron James on the outside.
LeBron James broke through with the ball and lobbed the ball to Chris Bosh under the basket. Chris Bosh singled out Roy Hibbert and turned around for a hook shot, but unfortunately he still missed. Paul George defended
The rebound is in the bag.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Pacers attack.
George Hill broke through with the ball and handed the ball to Paul George from the baseline. The latter caught the ball and went for a layup, but was interfered by Birdman Anderson and the ball missed. Chris Bosh grabbed the defensive rebound.
"Whoa", LeBron James made a mid-range shot. When his teammates missed consecutive shots, LeBron James chose to take the shot himself. However, the goal was barely scored, and Paul George was tightly guarding him.
, making his shot not very smooth.
After the offense and defense were switched, the ball fell into the hands of the Pacers, and George Hill quickly took the ball across the half court.
At this time, Hill made a scene that surprised everyone. Near the midfield, Hill jumped high and the ball quickly flew out of his fingertips.
The Heat players also watched the basketball in the air, but what made them happy was that the ball started to fall near the free throw line. Under this situation, the ball might not be able to fly to the basket, a typical air ball.
Just as the Heat players let go of their tense hearts, a dark shadow quickly jumped up from the Pacers' inside line.
When his body reached its peak, Paul George actually stopped in the air. His entire body quickly turned 180 degrees, facing the basket with his back.
George caught the basketball steadily and put the ball on his waist with both hands.
"Roar", George shouted out the breath he was holding in his chest. His stiff body quickly softened, and he quickly kicked the ball behind his head with both hands.
