"There's no change in the lineup?" Ci Shiping looked at the opposite side and said with some surprise.
"It's the confidence in James' control ability," said Pau Gasol. His mind is obviously much better than Ci Shiping's.
"Hmph, do you really think you can play with us just by bringing a bunch of substitutes? Damn James, damn Eric, damn Miami!"
"Okay, what they want to do is their own business. We just have to do a good job of offense and defense. We don't need to think too much about the rest." A typical Kobe answer, but obviously, he felt the opponent's attitude.
A hint of annoyance.
Even with a 5-point lead, James leads a group of substitutes to fight? What a Miami Heat!
The fighting spirit in Kobe's eyes became even stronger.
"What? You gave up on me in singles?" Seeing that Udonis Haslem didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball again, Tang Qianbiao said trash talk.
"Stop talking nonsense, you Asian guy." After Udonis Haslem said this, he ran out to provide support. Because he is not the core of the Heat, so "balloon fights" and other things will not take turns at all.
Not him. The task assigned to him by the head coach is to grab rebounds and provide support for passing and cutting. If he continues to fight with Tang Qian, without saying a word, Erik Spoelstra will definitely do it in the next dead ball round.
Replace him decisively and give him a scolding at the same time.
Udonis Haslem still has this kind of sense, so even if he is unhappy with Tang Qian, he has to endure it for the time being, lest he loses the opportunity to continue to "grow data" on the court.
.
The person guarding James was still Ci Shiping, but this time, James chose to win with speed and did not give Ci Shiping a chance to get entangled. He rushed into the Lakers' three-point line with a single step.
"Take up defense, shrink to make up for defense!"
Facing a heavy "biological weapon" like LeBron James, there was no need for Ci Shiping to shout, and the Lakers' inside line immediately shrank. But LeBron James wanted this effect, because he and Kobe Bryant.
Bryant is different. Assisting and passing the ball is his first choice. So the result is self-evident. Due to the excessive contraction of the Lakers, Sean Battier near the bottom corner was vacated. After receiving the ball,
When James passed the ball, Battier immediately took action. Battier's open three-pointers have always been very accurate. At the highest point in his career, he even entered the club with a three-point shooting percentage of 40+. This is definitely a strong result, 40 in the season.
A %+ three-point shooting percentage means that you can become a reliable three-point shooting option for a team. This is definitely an excellent means for ordinary players to realize their tactical value.
The so-called excellent 3D player, Sean Battier, is definitely number one.
Even though the three-point shooting percentage has dropped a bit this season, the three-point shot from the corner is still unambiguous. With a "swipe" sound, the basketball cuts through the Lakers' white net.
61-63, 5-point advantage, only 2 points left in an instant.
As one of the two teams that reached the Finals last year, there is no doubt about the Heat's overall chemical reaction, especially with LeBron James, a super backcourt engine, which will be a great success for any pitcher and 3D player.
Have the opportunity to flex your muscles.
The Lakers passed the ball to Gasol for an inside single, but he failed to score. After James collected the backcourt rebound, he immediately controlled the ball and rushed toward the Lakers' half.
James' speed in the backcourt is extremely terrifying, and his explosive power can be called a prehistoric monster.
In positional battles, Ci Shiping may be able to compete with him, but in sports battles, the two are not on the same level at all. James's impact is much more terrifying than the former. Once again, he broke through to the Lakers'
Inside, will James still choose to pass the ball this time? Gasol and Tang Qian are not sure. After all, facing a player who is firmly in the top ten in history, their levels are really too different.
It took off.
This was Tang Qian's first close encounter with LeBron James. That super giant aura instantly suppressed him. This had nothing to do with courage. It was purely due to the huge gap between momentum and hard power.
Caused by.
This man, this No. 6 of the Heat, just passed by himself and Pau Gasol, and then... raised his hand and dunked.
boom!!!
The force was strong and heavy, and the painful twisting sound of the basket shocked Tang Qian deeply.
Is this person...the proud son of heaven, the so-called "little emperor" LeBron James?
That feeling... has never happened before.
It really feels like a king is coming.
His eyes were stern and his aura was unparalleled.
Is this the number one person in the active league... It's so scary that it makes people tremble...
63-63, LeBron James personally helped the Heat tie the score.
"Hot, don't think too much. Even the best defensive player may not be able to intercept the ball just now. LeBron James' tomahawk dunk is not an ordinary attack method." It was as if he could see Tang Qian's heart.
Shocked, Pau Gasol offered words of comfort. It is actually easy for young players to leave a shadow in their hearts. For example, Howard, after being dunked by Kobe, had been shaken in his heart for a long time when facing Kobe.
Even until the 2009 Finals, he had some Kobe phobia. The gap in career matchup data is even more obvious, 27+5+6VS16+12+2.
In order not to cast a shadow on Tang Qian, Paul Gasol said this.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe broke through the Heat's paint, causing a defensive foul from Sean Battier, and made 2 free throws, 63-65.
James assisted Mike Miller, who hit a 17-foot mid-range shot, 65-65, and Miami tied the score again.
"Kobe, the Heat are getting tighter on your defense. Let's connect the team first and then play alone." The person who made the suggestion was Derek Fisher. Although his career data is average, but in the Lakers team
Although his status is not low at all, he directly suggested to Kobe that he has this qualification.
The key is that Kobe also respects the opponent, so after thinking about it slightly, he nodded and said: "Well, you are right. The Heat's defensive focus is too focused on me. This is a good opportunity to pass the ball and assist others to score.
.”
"Then you should continue to run, pretend to attack, and attract the opponent's defensive line. This will make our shots less difficult and greatly increase the shooting percentage."
"Okay, let's do it." Kobe is paranoid, but he wants to win even more. In other words, his biggest paranoia is his paranoia about winning. Therefore, as long as his teammates are reliable, he will not continue to "bombard"
Fried.
To say that Kobe can only shoot wildly and not pass the ball is definitely a misunderstanding. Except for the two seasons when he first entered the league, where he averaged only 1.3 and 2.5 assists per game, he averaged assists per game in almost every subsequent season.
Around 5+, which is already very good for a shooting guard. You must know that the great basketball god Michael Jordan only averaged 5+ assists per game in his career. Therefore, as long as Kobe wants to pass the ball, he can keep it at 5+.
At the league's first-tier level, that's not a problem.
Especially the coordination of the ball inside and outside the pass is his specialty.
Kobe Bryant of the Lakers took the ball, and after attracting the defense of two people, he quickly released the ball, and the basketball went straight into the hands of Pau Gasol, the Heat's inside man. Gasol took the ball to shoot, and after shaking the defender with a fake move, he hit the ball in the low post.
He took the shot and the basketball flew straight to Miami's basket.
Gasol can be said to be a sure shot of this kind of ball. Generally speaking, as long as he takes the shot, he will score it, unless...
Bang~
A Heat player rushed in, pushed his feet on the ground, stretched out his long arms, and unexpectedly grabbed Gasol's shot and knocked the latter's shot onto the backboard!
Who is this person? Naturally, it’s the Heat’s No. 6, the “Little Emperor,” LeBron James.
James' help in blocking shots is one of the best among NBA small forwards. Because of his good jumping ability and long arms, it is not unusual for him to block the inside of the center. Especially when he and Wade are together.
When standing on the court, the two's shot-blocking abilities are terrifying. From the outside to the inside, there is almost no one they can't block. This is very similar to Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
After missing Gasol's shot, James quickly dribbled forward. This time, it was Kobe who stood in front of him to block him. However, James did not force himself to attack. He kicked off his feet and passed the ball directly to the Lakers.
In the heart of the heart, the person who caught the ball was Mike Miller. Seeing that the basket seemed empty, Mike Miller felt a little itchy. He jumped up and smashed straight towards the Lakers basket. After all, for a shooter
For players, hitting the basket is a very rare thing, so once this opportunity appeared, Mike Miller couldn't help it and prepared to perform a dunk with one hand.
However, at this moment, a yellow palm suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Mike Miller was shocked. When he came to his senses, the basketball in his hand had long disappeared.
Blocked???
how can that be possible???
Just now I clearly saw that the Lakers’ basket was empty, right??? Why did someone suddenly appear???
"Derek, fast break!"
As soon as Tang Qian passed the basketball in his hand to Derek Fisher, he immediately ran forward. Fisher understood it and did not take the initiative to attack the basket. Instead, he stopped outside the Heat's three-point line.
He stopped the ball and then threw the basketball in his hand high.
What are you doing???
Who is passing the ball to???
Obviously there are no Lakers players in the Heat's interior???
When the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the sky, a pair of big hands stretched out across the sky and held the basketball steadily when it was about to fall. Then, without stopping, using the momentum and inertia of running and bouncing,
, blasting directly toward Miami's basket.
boom!
Before the Heat's backup center Dexter Pittman could react, he felt a huge force and suddenly overturned him. There was no room for negotiation at all.
The referee blows the whistle, the goal is scored, and one penalty goal is added.
At this moment, in the ESPN live broadcast room, Isiah Thomas was smiling and said: "Jeff, what do you think? He blocks shots and speeds up alley-oops. Isn't he worthy of the nickname I gave him?"
"Let me look at the data." Jeff Van Gundy looked at the computer in front of him and said, "Is this his fourth block? This Chinese's defensive ability is very good! It's not the same as Yao!
"
"Of course!" Isiah Thomas said: "His athletic ability far exceeds that of Yao! Although his height is not as exaggerated as the latter, his explosive power and agility are not possessed by the latter! I am optimistic about it.
He replaced Troy Murphy of the Lakers and became the team's first interior substitute."
"Well, just based on these few goals, I agree. Although the offensive ability is not good, the defense alone is enough to establish a foothold in the fixed rotation." Jeff Van Gundy said: "He can do it with the Lakers.
Dikembe's role in the Rockets back then helped Andrew Bynum have longer rest time per game."
"I think so too," Isiah Thomas said: "As long as he blocks a few more shots against the rotation, his role will be far greater than that of a semi-waste Troy Murphy. And the inside
Defensive work is one of the shortcomings of the Lakers' starting twin towers. With the iron out to help them share the defensive pressure, the twin towers can gain more energy on the offensive end. This way, the Lakers will be able to face any team in the league.
It can be considered as having your own second strongest point.”
"Ha~ You actually look at the Lakers' twin towers like this. Aren't you afraid that you are wrong? You must know that Bynum was selected into the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup this year. His strength level is at his peak! Coupled with the perennial 18
With Pau Gasol at +10, can this inside partnership only be considered an offensive strength?" Rachel Knicks said.
"Of course." Isiah Thomas said: "If you look carefully, the Lakers' twin towers are actually not very compatible. In the past, before Andrew Bynum grew up, the inside line was actually Gasol.
But now, it is just the opposite. The role of the inside leader has become Andrew Bynum. When Gasol and him appear on the court at the same time, the offensive distance becomes more and more toward the outside. This is enough to show that the difference between the two
The degree of compatibility is not as good as everyone imagined. In addition, the defensive ability of the two of them is not outstanding in my personal opinion. Two 7-foot big men guard the basket together, and they don't even average 2.0 blocks per game.
No, this is far different from the Spurs twin towers and the Rockets twin towers back then. And haven’t you noticed? Neither of them are actually offensive and defensive insiders. In other words, once the offensive aspect is invested,
If there is too much energy, the defensive effectiveness will inevitably be weakened, so I have always said that together, they can only be regarded as a strong point of the Lakers. Because there are too many factors that limit and restrict the state."
"So with perm, can their compatibility issues be solved?" Rachel asked.
"It can't be said that it's completely solved, but it's definitely an enhancement. You can look at Gasol's average data, scoring data, and scoring efficiency when he's on the court at the same time, all of which can be said to have increased across the board. That's why I say, he
His value is far greater than that of Troy Murphy. Now it depends on whether this Eastern kid can remain stable and maintain his condition." Isiah Thomas explained.
