With the same action, James was about to commit a foul, but Curry did not.
They are all superstars, why do they receive such great treatment from referees?
With one shot, James got 5 free throws!
Fortunately, James' free throws have never been good, and he only made 3 of 5 free throws.
The score difference reached 18 points with 5 minutes left in the game.
Theoretically, it is still possible for the Heat to recover the score.
Especially when Curry isn't playing.
If you change a team, the star player doesn't play, and the opponent is the Big Three, then losing is a high probability event!
But the Warriors are an exception!
Because the Warriors have outstanding strength, they have a group of outstanding players at every position.
Even if the offense isn't good, just relying on defense won't be a big problem.
The defense of Lowry, Clay, Ariza, Hayward, and Lopez is at the top level in the league.
Except for Lopez Jr., the other four are all defensive heroes in their respective positions, and they also have two skills on the offensive end.
As for Lopez Jr., Deng Fang was specifically used to deal with James.
Lopez Jr.'s defense is not as good as his elder brother Lopez's, and his offense is also down by more than one level. But in the hands of the underworld, Lopez Jr. is incomparable to Lopez.
They did not move him away in the mid-term trade because they chose Lopez Jr.
A team must have a villain who can stand up to protect the interests of his teammates at critical moments.
Kirilenko can count for half, and Lopez Jr. can count for one.
With such a person around, your opponent will have to think carefully when he wants to commit a crime.
If you dare to do evil things, so will I!
The game continues.
In order to chase the score, James rushed in desperately.
Scoring at the basket is James' specialty, and that's the surest way to do it.
However, the Warriors' defense is very good, and it will be difficult for James to break through.
Two times he finally managed to break in, but was also slapped out by Lopez!
Little Lopez is not a good person. Every time he makes a big block, he has additional actions. James fell from the air to the ground twice in a row!
This time the referee restrained himself a lot and did not blow the whistle.
The top is a clean big hat, so it is understandable that there is physical contact behind.
Lopez was given a flagrant foul just now, Kirilenko was ejected, and Curry was injured and left the game. Now he is still sitting down and dare not come up. After all this, he still favors the Heat. Those three referees
Don’t even think about walking out of Oracle Arena alive!
The Heat failed to attack several times in a row, and the point difference widened by 3 points.
It doesn't matter how many points I get, as long as you don't get any points!
Deng Fang is still very confident in the team's defense, and it is for this reason that he dared to let Curry rest off the court.
Soon, there were only 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the point difference was still 21 points.
The game has basically lost its suspense.
James persisted on the court for more than a minute, and then took the initiative to foul and take a break.
Since the result cannot be changed, let's focus on the next game.
No matter how powerful James is, he is not a god, and he will get tired after playing for a long time.
The game was over soon, and the final score was fixed at 138:116, with the Warriors winning by 22 points.
The series score between the two teams also became 1:0, with the Warriors taking the lead.
After the game statistics were released, Curry performed the most outstandingly. He played for 25 minutes, scored 7 three-pointers, and scored 35 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds.
Although the scoring does not seem to be too much, Curry's efficiency is too high.
As long as Curry plays, the Warriors are basically widening the point difference!
The Heat's top scorer was James. He took 23 crazy shots and made 3 of 12 three-pointers. He scored 19 points, 4 assists, 11 rebounds, and 3 turnovers.
Being able to defend James like this shows how strong the Warriors' defense is.
In fact, except for James, the Heat's other shooters performed well and made shots except for open shots.
However, the Warriors' defensive strategy is very strategic and they attack James' passes very fiercely, which also results in James' few assists.
The Heat's pitchers can take shots, even if they are open, but they can't just take a pass from James and shoot!
If you want to swipe your data, I won't let you succeed.
…
At the post-game press conference, James was the first to be interviewed:
"What's the reason you lost?"
"The defense was too bad." James replied: "We allowed the Warriors to score 138 points. We can't win this game."
"Why is your defense no longer good? Your defense was great before!"
"Because the team is not unified in thinking on the defensive end." James replied: "We should improve our defensive intensity and not let Curry take random shots and easily drive the team's offense. But some people can't do it, or don't want to do it."
"Are you saying that they were too gentle and not as ruthless as you?"
"That's not what I meant." James replied: "To improve defensive intensity, you don't necessarily have to hurt people. The key is to increase your concentration. You can't be lazy, and you can't be a woman!"
"Then what are you going to do next time?"
"Increase defensive intensity." James replied: "Especially against Curry, we must not let him score easily!"
"Curry is injured, so your defense isn't strong enough?"
"Injury doesn't mean anything! Our defense against Curry is still not strong enough and we need to continue to strengthen it!"
Alas, Curry will be in danger again in the next game!
"Excuse me, what happened to Curry?"
"That was an accident!"
"But looking at the replay, you did it on purpose!"
"Replays sometimes lie." James said: "I hit Curry by accident. I didn't mean to."
"What about Kirilenko being sent off? Should he or she not?"
"Should!" James replied decisively: "Kirilenko did it on purpose, it's obvious!"
"Kirilenko is likely to be suspended for one game. What do you think about this?"
"I think he should be suspended and his actions should not appear on the basketball court."
"What about Lopez? Was his flagrant foul intentional?"
"Yes!" James snorted coldly: "The referee is too biased in favor of the Warriors. Logically speaking, Lopez should also be ejected!"
"Should Lopez Jr. also be suspended for one game?"
"Of course!" James said: "I think the league should set up an investigation team to specifically investigate Lopez's on-field actions. Many of his actions are out of line!"
"Should Yao Ming and Curry also be suspended?"
Finally, a reporter couldn't stand it.
"Some of Yao Ming's actions are indeed inappropriate, but he is still a little far away from being suspended." James said righteously: "Curry, he didn't do anything extraordinary, but he got too many whistles, and the referee was too
Favoring Curry, this should change."
What?
Curry gets special treatment?
How many whistles does Curry have?
Others may still be qualified to say this, but James is not!
