James kept complaining like a resentful woman, and the referee ignored him at all.
Even if he ignored James, the referee still gave him a lot of face.
If it had been anyone else, the technical foul whistle would have sounded long ago!
I have to say that the emperor still has a lot of face.
Curry on the side was grinning on the ground, looking a little in pain.
After lying down for a while, Curry gritted his teeth and stood up.
I moved my hands and feet a bit, and it wasn't a big problem.
Fortunately, this time it was just a bruise. It hurt a lot from the fall, but it was nothing serious.
Curry came to the free throw line and made the free throw steadily.
6:0!
Curry scored 6 points in a row, and the Warriors got off to a good start.
The game continues.
The Warriors mainly use Curry and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, while the Heat use James and Bosh's pick-and-roll.
Since the Heat had a small lineup and were very fast, the Splash Brothers' off-ball tactics were of little use.
Although off-ball tactics are no longer used, Clay's role on the court is still very obvious.
As long as Clay is on the court, and as long as Kirilenko is covering Clay on the other side, the Heat will not dare to attack Curry unscrupulously!
Two on one side defend two, and if two of the three on the other side flank Curry, then Yao Ming and Prince can only be defended by one person!
That is impossible!
So the Heat didn't dare to attack Curry too aggressively.
Either switch defenses or delay.
However, whether it is a switch of defense or a delay, it is meaningless in front of Curry's incredible three-pointer.
If you dare to switch defenses, I'll fight the big one!
Bosh is not slow, but he also struggles in front of Curry.
Delaying is useless, because Bosh who is delaying must go back to find his own man, that is, Yao Ming. At the same time, Chalmers must come up and defend, one coming up, and the other retreating. This process will definitely give Curry a shot.
Space!
Although the time is short, it is enough for Curry!
Of course it won't work if it's James, and it will be difficult for average shooters, but Curry will have no problem at all!
This is the advantage of fast shooting speed!
This is the power of accurate three-pointers!
The shooting speed is fast and the three-point shooting percentage is high, which is enough to change the opponent's defensive method!
With Klay in the Heat, they didn't dare to attack Curry too much. With Yao Ming in the Heat, they didn't dare to focus all their defensive attention on Curry.
The defensive pressure on Curry is much less than last season, and his offensive firepower is completely released!
A three pointer!
A breakthrough!
Another three points!
After the breakthrough, he passed the ball to Yao Ming, who was downhill. Yao Ming dunked successfully, and Curry received an assist!
…
The Warriors' offense is very smooth and has fierce firepower, but the Heat's offense is different.
The Heat also used a pick-and-roll, but the effect was much worse.
Since Wade and Bosh don't have three-pointers, and Chalmers and Battier don't have that much of a three-point threat, the Warriors can boldly help defend against double attacks.
Prince pursued the defense and did not give James a chance to easily shoot.
Yao Ming shrank inside the three-point line, not allowing Bosh to easily pass down the line, nor giving James a chance to directly break through!
Kirilenko has been standing on the edge of the penalty area, waiting to cover and block shots at any time!
If you want to pass the ball to Wade, you can, but others can't.
Wade can throw three-pointers, so can Bosh, and Chalmers and Battier have to make the save.
If everyone has to pounce, it will be difficult no matter how good your defensive rotation is.
But it would be much easier if you only attack one or two people!
If James can't break in, it will be difficult for him to even take a three-point shot!
Even if it is an assist, it depends on the weather!
Wade's three-pointer was completely random!
After missing several three-pointers in a row, Wade stopped taking shots from outside and started dribbling to break through.
Either use his speed to get to the basket and score, or he takes two steps and makes a sudden stop for a mid-range shot.
Although the three-pointer is not good, Wade's mid-range shot is still fine.
But in this case, James will not be able to get assists...
Under Deng Fang's special arrangement, most of the Heat's opportunities came from Wade and Bosh.
Although the two can also score, compared with the Warriors' flood of offense, the Heat's offense is like constipation.
The first quarter lasted just over 6 minutes, and the score became 24:13, with the Warriors leading by 11 points!
Spoelstra had to call a timeout.
The emperor returned to the bench with an angry face and shouted: "I need a shooter! I need a breakthrough space!"
Wade looked gloomy, while Spoelstra looked speechless.
What do you want to do?
Do you think the Heat is yours alone?
Do you really think the earth revolves around you alone?
What do you mean you want a shooter?
Do you just dislike Wade?
This is a fixed routine!
When you win, you are braver than anyone else. When you lose, the first thing you do is to throw the blame away!
It’s weird about the sky, the earth, the air, it doesn’t matter if they are brothers or not!
After the timeout, Wade took a break and the Heat replaced James Jones.
Spoelstra is very aware of current affairs. He knows who is the boss of this team and he also knows who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked!
Wade values love and justice. No matter how angry he is, he will never leave the Heat!
James is different!
They can even betray their hometown of Cleveland, so what do they think of the Heat?
If there weren't two thighs here, if the two thighs weren't thick enough, would people come here?
Wade can be wronged, Bosh can be provoked, but James can't be touched!
If James wants a shooter, he must be a shooter!
With the addition of James Jones, the Heat's offensive space suddenly becomes much larger.
But the warrior is still not afraid!
Prince still chased James and didn't give him a chance to easily shoot a three-pointer.
James' three-point shooting in the playoffs is not that good, but James' three-point shooting in the regular season is still good.
This is very similar to another fact: James made a lot of key shots, but most of them were tied or leading.
If there are still a few seconds left and the team is still behind, James' shooting will not be reliable!
To put it bluntly, the emperor is very good at adding icing on the cake, so it is none of his business to provide help when the time is right...
The defensive strategy is the same as before, but the Heat's outside shooting is much better than before, so it is easier for the Heat to score.
James Jones and Battier made three consecutive three-pointers, and the morale of the Heat players soared.
However, the Warriors' defensive strategy remains unchanged and they still strangle James!
Why did Deng Fang dare to do this?
Because Deng Fang has confidence in the Warriors' offense!
I'm a better outside shooter than you!
Let's all throw three-pointers and see who's afraid of whom!
Our offense is more efficient. If you have the ability, just throw it outside and see who has the highest offensive efficiency!
The Warriors played Yao Ku's pick-and-roll for a while, and began to let Yao Ming play in singles in the low post.
Although he has lost weight, with his height advantage and precise shooting, Yao Ming's low post offense is also a big weapon!
At least Bosh can't guard against it!
Needless to say Bosh, no center in the league dares to say that he can defend Yao Ming's low post attack.
In the past, the Warriors only had Curry on the outside, so opponents could focus on assisting defense and attacking the Warriors' low-post offense. Now with Klay, opponents have a headache.
Bosh is guarding Yao Ming, and Curry and Clay cannot be released. Only Kirilenko and Prince are left. Those two are still on the weak side. How can they help defend against a double attack?
No flanking attack?
Then Yao Ming would be happy!
Since entering the NBA, Yao Ming has never played such a comfortable game!
A comfortable catch in the low post, a three-threat fake move, swaying Bosh, and then turned to the basket and scored a dunk!
Regain the position again, pull up and shoot directly, and the basketball hits the net!
…
Yao Ming beat Bosh several times in the low post and succeeded almost every time!
Not only did he score consecutively, Yao Ming also caused two fouls by Bosh.
There was no way, the Heat just didn't help with defense, and they paid the price for it!
For two fouls in a single quarter, Bosh had to leave the game and rest according to convention.
Although his status is not as high as that of James and Wade, Bosh is still very important.
Spoelstra replaced Bosh and replaced him with Joel Anthony.
Joel Anthony's defense is better than Bosh, but he can't guard Yao Ming.
More importantly, Joel Anthony has no role on the offensive end and can only rely on alley-oops to score.
It’s easier for the Warriors to defend!
Before, Bosh had to have someone dedicated to defense, but now Yao Ming only needs to devote half of his energy to taking care of Joel Anthony.
With Yao Ming's height and shot-blocking ability, he is not afraid even if Joel Anthony reaches the basket!
If you dare to force yourself, I will cover you!
You can’t find the southeast, northwest or northwest!
Don’t be afraid even if you commit a foul, there is Lopez anyway!
With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Heat's offense stalled again.
The Warriors' firepower is as fierce as ever!
Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams became 46:29, with the Warriors leading by 17 points!
Although the Heat focused on defense, Curry still made 2 three-pointers and scored 11 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal in a single quarter.
The best performer on the Warriors side is Yao Ming. Thanks to the huge three-point threat of the Splash Brothers, the Heat have been guarding Yao Ming alone, which gives Yao Ming a very comfortable opportunity to play in singles. He scored 13 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter.
Caused Bosh to commit 2 fouls, and Joel Anthony also committed 2 fouls!
Wade took the most shots for the Heat. He made 3 of 8 shots and scored 7 points and 3 rebounds.
James played the entire first quarter. Under the targeted defense of the Warriors, he made 1 of 5 shots with very low efficiency. He scored 2 points, 1 assist, and 3 turnovers.
Soon, the second quarter of the game started.
The Heat replaced Norris Cole, James, Wade, Mike Miller and Bosh.
Norris Cole is the No. 28 pick in this year's first round. He is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 79 kilograms. He is a short defender.
The Heat selected Norris Cole, an older rookie, because of his immediate ability.
During the regular season, the Heat's point guard position is basically shared between Chalmers and Norris Cole.
Norris Cole has a good breakthrough and his passing awareness is not bad, but his three-pointers are not good.
A point guard with poor three-point shooting is the most embarrassing next to James, but the Heat can't help it because they only have these two point guards.
Chalmers played the entire first quarter and must rest.
Wade only played half of the first quarter, and it stands to reason that the second quarter is his time to lead the team.
But James insisted on playing, and there was nothing Spoelstra could do.
With Wade, James and Norris Cole on the court at the same time, the space problem is huge, so Mike Miller and Bosh must be brought in.
For the Warriors, the second team came on: Lowry, Ariza, Tucker, Hayward and Lopez.
Tucker didn't play much in the first quarter, so Deng Fang brought him up first while Azubuike rested underneath.
The Warriors have too many people they can use, so they can only use them selectively.
Against the Heat's Big Three, Tucker is still better than Azubuike.
Facing the Heat's lineup, Tucker can defend from one to five, while Azubuike can only defend from one to four.
Tucker struggled to defend Bosh at the fifth position, and Azubuike was a little annoyed when he defended James.
The Warriors' second lineup is no worse than the starting lineup, especially on the defensive end, it's even better.
The Warriors' defensive strategy remains unchanged and they still strangle James.
As long as Bosh and James don't pick and roll, the Warriors can switch defenses infinitely!
Bosh and James set a pick-and-roll, and Lopez huddled inside waiting. Ariza, like Prince, squeezed past Bosh and chased James, denying him an easy shot.
If James breaks through, Tucker and Hayward will come over to help defend.
Is there room on the outside?
Don't be afraid, the vacancies are Wade and Norris Cole anyway!
It doesn't matter if Bosh is vacant!
The Heat have only one reliable pitcher in this lineup, and that's Mike Miller!
It’s very difficult when the Warriors only have Curry. He needs Klay to come up and share the defensive pressure with him, not to mention Mike Miller!
The Heat's offense is still constipated, and James is extremely depressed.
On the Warriors' side, Lowry and Lopez played very well in the pick-and-roll, and it was very difficult for the Heat to defend.
There is no way. Ariza, Tucker and Hayward on the Warriors' side are all reliable shooters, and the Heat dare not help defend.
After finally getting used to it, the pick-and-roll between Lowry and Lopez was somewhat restricted, and the Warriors began to let Lopez beat Bosh in singles again!
Yao Ming's singles ability is great, and Lopez is not much different.
Lopez's height and shooting are not as advantageous as Yao Ming's, but he is heavier and can beat Bosh in the low post just as easily.
The Heat have no shooters on the outside, and the positional battle is very annoying. They want to play fast breaks, but the Warriors focus on the inside and deliberately slow down the pace. There is nothing the Heat can do.
Although the Warriors' bench lineup is not scoring as fast as the starters, the points have been rising. Unlike the Heat, it is difficult to score a point.
The points difference continues to widen.
Four minutes into the second quarter, Spoelstra called a timeout.
After the timeout, Norris Cole and Wade came off the court again, and the Heat replaced Shane Battier and James Jones.
With the addition of Mike Miller and Bosh, the Heat finally have a one-star lineup.
This is James' favorite lineup!
However, the Warriors also made personnel adjustments, with Curry and Clay replacing Lowry and Hayward.
Curry, Clay, Ariza, Tucker, and Lopez, these five people are all very good at three-pointers, and the offensive firepower is suddenly adjusted to the highest level!
The Heat's three-pointers are good, but the Warriors' three-pointers are more accurate!
Everyone is shooting all over the place. Curry's three-pointers on the Warriors' side are very accurate, but James' three-pointers on the Heat's side are not so good.
The warrior's four shots are powerful, and the threat of one star is even greater!
The two teams entered into attack mode.
The Warriors' defensive strategy remains unchanged and they still strangle James.
Except for James, who couldn't score points on the Heat's side, everyone else was very good.
However, the Warriors' offensive firepower is obviously stronger, and the point difference is still slowly widening.
Soon, at the end of the second quarter, the score became 85:59, and the Warriors led by 26 points!
