Scored 59 points at halftime, the Heat's offensive efficiency is already not low.
However, the Warriors scored 85 points at halftime and scored more than 40 points in each quarter. This is terrifying!
This is a typical "It's not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy is too powerful!"
In terms of personal performance, Curry scored 21 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals at halftime.
The most outstanding performance of the Warriors was in the paint. Yao Ming and Lopez combined to score 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 8 assists!
Not only that, the two also caused four fouls on Bosh and two fouls on Joel Anthony.
Of course, Yao Ming and Lopez performed well mainly because they have two super shooters, Curry and Clay, on the outside!
If Bosh is given the same space, he can also beat Lopez alone!
Even if the hit rate is not that high, Bosh can still attack the opponent with offense and not be as embarrassed as he is now.
Unfortunately, with James and Wade around, Bosh doesn't have that much ball power, and he doesn't have much room to attack in the low post.
The one who worked the hardest on the Heat was James. He played the entire first half, but only scored 5 points, 5 assists, and 5 turnovers!
Deng Fang knows James very well, and his targeted arrangements are in place.
Trailing by 26 points at halftime and playing on the road again, the Heat seemed to have little hope of winning.
In fact, the impact of losing on the Heat players is not that big.
The two teams will play each other twice a season, and this is only the first time.
Losing away from home is not unacceptable.
As for the finals showdown promoted by the media, that's a bit far off.
The only thing I can't accept is James!
This game means a lot to James.
The first is the battle for the vote king!
The All-Star Game is about to start, the player voting channel will be closed soon, and the battle for the top vote will soon be decided.
Although Curry ranks first, there is not much difference between James and Curry!
If he wins this game and defeats Curry face to face, then James is likely to surpass Curry and become the vote king!
This is very important to James!
At present, it seems that the competition for the championship is a bit difficult. In this case, personal honor cannot be let go.
As long as he wins the vote, James may win the MVP trophy!
Although the Warriors' record is much better than that of the Heat, James's personal data is much better than Curry's!
There is no way, Curry's playing time is too little, and no matter how efficient he is, he can't compare to the iron man James.
Coupled with the aesthetic fatigue caused by Curry winning the MVP trophy for two consecutive years, if James performs well in face-to-face games and defeats Curry, then it is not impossible to win the MVP trophy!
If you don’t have a championship and you can’t win the MVP trophy, then what can you do to compete with Jordan for the first place in history?
So James is bound to win this game.
Soon, the third quarter of the game started.
The Heat took the lead in making adjustments. They did not play Wade and directly replaced him with James Jones.
Chalmers, James Jones, Shane Battier, James, Bosh, all stars go straight into the game!
Bosh had four fouls and still played!
James Jones plays terrible defense and is still James’ favorite player!
Although he is a good brother of James, Wade was still abandoned!
The Heat are going to fight hard.
In order to win, in order to give James room to break through and score more points, Spoelstra also worked hard!
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, with the Splash Brothers plus Prince, Kirilenko and Yao Ming.
I have to say that James is really suitable for a one-star and four-shooter lineup. After replacing the shooter, the Heat's offensive end became much smoother.
In order to strangle James, the Warriors had to give the Heat a chance on the outside.
If Wade is on the court, the Warriors can target Wade in a targeted manner.
But now that Wade is not on the court, and Bosh and James are attacking the basket in pick-and-rolls, there is no one on the Heat side who can intentionally leave the ball open.
James Jones, Chalmers and Battier got a lot of open opportunities!
This is the price you must pay for choking James!
But Deng Fang didn’t care!
Why?
Because Deng Fang has confidence in the Warriors' offense!
You can't guard against me!
Even if we give you open three-point opportunities, your shooting percentage is not as high as ours!
What's more, the Warriors also have a response plan!
To put it bluntly, beat Bosh down!
Bosh has already committed four fouls. As long as he is knocked out of the Heat's one-star and four-star lineup, it will be impossible!
Both Joel Anthony and Haslem have no shooting ability, especially no three-pointers!
Yao Ming and Curry are on a pick-and-roll, and whoever Bosh switches to in front of him will grab him!
Switch defense in front of Curry, and Curry will fight the big one!
Hidden behind and unable to come out, Curry handed the ball to Yao Ming inside and asked him to beat the small one!
Yes, the big one beats the small one!
Bosh is tall enough and is a standard No. 4, but he is still a No. 4 after all!
Almost all centers in the league are one size smaller than Yao Ming, not to mention Bosh at the fourth position!
Pick and roll twice, then let Yao Ming ask for the ball in the low post, one-on-one with Bosh!
If you throw three-pointers, we will guarantee the hit rate!
Let’s see if you attack from a double flank or not!
As long as the Heat attack from both sides, the Warriors will have a chance from the outside!
This opportunity is much better than the open opportunity created by James' breakthrough!
Everyone is open, and the Warriors' three-point shooting is more than one step higher than the Heat!
Because the Warriors have Splash Brothers!
Chalmers and Shane Battier's three-pointers are good, and James Jones is even better, but they are far behind compared to the Splash Brothers!
Yao Ming singled out Bosh several times in a row, and his hitting rate was quite high!
Although Bosh was very cautious, he was still fouled by Yao Ming!
You can't just watch someone walk into the penalty area and dunk...
After five fouls, Bosh had to take a rest.
The third quarter lasted for more than 5 minutes. The Heat threw in 5 three-pointers and scored 18 points. However, the Warriors had a higher shooting percentage inside. Yao Ming made 6 of 8 shots and two free throws. Plus Curry
A three-pointer from Klay, a three-pointer from Klay, and the Warriors scored 20 points!
The point difference actually widened by 2 points!
The most important thing is that Bosh committed five fouls, and the Heat could only get Haslem.
Haslem is slightly better than Joel Anthony, and he still has a mid-range shot.
Although not as accurate as Yao Ming, he can still shoot.
There were more than six minutes left in the third quarter, and the score on the big screen had become 105:77. The Heat were 28 points behind, and the situation was very critical.
James was obviously anxious, and he kept yelling: "We must guard against them, and we must not give them a chance to take action easily!"
"Be decisive in your shots, catch the ball and shoot!"
"We still have a chance!"
Although James kept cheering up his teammates, several people on the Heat court still couldn't get excited.
Both the offense and defense are hampered by others, and they are nearly 30 points behind in the away game. No one can be optimistic.
It seems I can only rely on myself!
If this continues, this game will be decided!
James frowned, thinking secretly in his heart.
"I'll guard Curry!" James and Chalmers shouted, asking him to guard Prince.
At the critical moment, the emperor still has to take action himself...
It was another Warriors offensive round. Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Yao Ming in the low post.
Defending Yao Ming is Haslem.
Haslem is a tough guy and plays tough defense, but due to his height, it is also difficult to face Yao Ming.
Many times hard work cannot solve the problem!
Yao Ming faked a shot, Haslem didn't move, and Yao Ming didn't force himself. He bent down and dropped the ball and started to hit the ball with his back.
Although he has lost weight, Yao Ming still weighs 128 kilograms, which is heavier than Lopez!
Coupled with his skillful low post skills and absolute height, it is basically impossible for Haslem to defend Yao Ming.
As soon as Yao Ming dribbled the ball, James pounced on him!
In order to guard Curry, Spoelstra explicitly asked the players not to help defend during the timeout, so the Heat had not flanked Yao Ming and Lopez before.
But the coach’s words are nothing to James!
If you agree with me, I will listen; if you do not agree with me, I will not listen!
If you are interested, I will hold it in; if you are not interested, I will drive you away!
James felt it was time to flank Yao Ming, so he came over to flank Yao Ming.
Haslem and James surrounded Yao Ming in the middle, making it impossible for Yao Ming to dribble again.
But Yao Ming was already prepared. He immediately collected the ball and without even looking, passed the ball directly to Curry outside the three-point line.
Curry was also ready. After catching the ball, he raised his hand and threw the basketball without any hesitation!
At the same time, James in the penalty area also made a save.
If Yao Ming wants to attack from a double flank, Curry can't take it easily!
We are an emperor, not an ordinary person. We can defend ourselves against two!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
The basketball hit the net and Curry fell from the air.
But this time Curry didn't fall to the ground, but stepped on James' feet!
Curry had already thrown the ball when James rushed over. He couldn't interfere with Curry's shot at all, but he did not give up!
It doesn’t matter if I can’t interfere this time, there will be another time!
Even if it doesn’t interfere, you still have a shadow in your heart!
Want to shoot easily in front of me?
There are no doors!
As for how to make Curry feel shadowed, that's very simple!
Make physical contact!
One is in the air and one is on the ground!
One is unprepared, the other is prepared!
Once there is physical contact in this situation, the person falling from the sky will definitely be in great danger!
Everyone is afraid of danger!
This is human nature!
Even if you are not injured after falling in the air, you will still have a shadow in your heart the next time you shoot!
What if you get injured?
If you're hurt, you're hurt!
Deserve it!
This is normal physical contact!
Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven!
If you want to play in the NBA, you have to be prepared for injuries!
This is an unexpected situation!
Yes, surprise!
James's move was very dangerous, but he didn't care!
Danger?
Dirty?
fell shame?
Compared to winning, compared to benefits, what is face?
Brothers can be abandoned, so what does face mean?
In order to win, James also worked hard!
Curry didn't expect James to do this at all. He stepped directly on James's feet.
Although Curry looks thin, he still weighs 84 kilograms, which is more than 160 kilograms!
You know, a player like Curry is focused on shooting, and it is precisely for this reason that his three-pointers are so accurate!
If you are prepared, no matter how serious the fall is, it won't matter. If you are not prepared, a slight fall may cause serious injuries!
Curry stepped on James' foot, screamed and fell to the ground!
James retracted his foot very alertly, and the referee's whistle also sounded!
The three-pointer is valid. James fouls and gets an extra penalty!
As soon as James heard the referee's penalty, he couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward, complaining loudly: "I didn't foul!
I did not do it on purpose!
Curry has taken action!
Even if there was physical contact, I shouldn’t have been called a foul!”
The referee ignored James and motioned for him to step aside.
In this case, it is necessary to watch the replay in order to judge whether the penalty should be upgraded.
This is at Oracle Arena, not American Airlines Arena!
Deng Fang shook his head helplessly in the coaching bench.
How many times has this happened?
Although he was mentally prepared before the game, Deng Fang was still very depressed.
You are a player who calls himself the emperor!
You are the man on the throne!
Have you used such despicable methods?
Not just once!
…
James kept complaining, while Curry was lying on the ground with a look of pain on his face.
The Warriors team doctor ran up immediately and checked Curry's injury.
The fans at Oracle Arena had given up long ago, and they all chanted "James, garbage!"
"James, get out!"
…
The shouts of curses reached his ears, but James didn't care at all!
What I want is victory, no matter how great the flood is!
Soon, the staff pushed the wheelchair and helped Curry up.
The team doctor came to Deng Fang and whispered: "Curry sprained his ankle. The situation is not optimistic. He will definitely not be able to play this game."
Deng Fang nodded and signaled the team doctor to take Curry back to the locker room to wait for him.
The team doctor and Deng Fang have been working together for a long time and have a tacit understanding. He led the staff to push Curry towards the locker room.
Deng Fang gave a few instructions to assistant coach Adams and quickly walked to the locker room.
Soon, the referee watched the replay and made a penalty: James committed a first-level flagrant foul, and the Warriors made two free throws and one throw.
The game continues.
According to Deng Fang's instructions, Ron Adams replaced Lowry and Lopez Jr.
Yes, I didn’t go to Lopez!
After the Warriors' free throws, there were more than five minutes left in the third quarter, the score difference reached 33 points, and the Warriors still had the ball.
Although he was more than 30 points behind, James still kept greeting his teammates: "Don't be afraid, we still have a chance!
There is still enough time, don't give up!
Without Curry, we can win!
When defending, be tougher and shoot when you get the chance!"
…
I have to say that James' ability to inspire people is still very strong. Under his leadership, the Heat players have become more active!
Lowry and Lopez Jr. were in a pick-and-roll but Haslem intercepted the ball, and the ball returned to the Heat.
The Warriors retreated very quickly and the Heat had no chance for a fast break.
James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, waited for his teammates to get into position, and signaled Haslem to come up for a pick-and-roll.
Haslem immediately came up to block Prince.
Lopez didn't dare to come out. He huddled two steps inside the three-point line and waited for James.
James made a fake shot, Lopez shifted his center of gravity slightly, and James immediately dribbled towards the penalty area!
