"Is this Oriental playing again?" Wade looked at it and turned to look at James, with a little questioning in his eyes.
Because he is more aware of James's "Improved New Tomahawk". If you force a jump to block it, you can easily be hit on the head by an elbow. And he also saw it with his own eyes just now. That elbow was a solid elbow. It is absolutely impossible.
LeBron James is now called a "human tank". How many ordinary players can recover from being elbowed or hit in the head like that? This is still talking about NBA athletes. If you are an ordinary person, you may go into shock.
It’s not guaranteed that it will fall off.
But he... this No. 29... actually came on the field again within a few minutes? How is this possible?
Could it be that his physical fitness has become so strong?
"No, that's not right." James was very thoughtful and observant, so he quickly discovered the key to the problem.
"He didn't recover." James frowned and said, "He forced himself to play."
"Force it?" Wade was stunned, and then said: "You mean..."
"Yeah." James nodded, but his expression showed no appreciation at all, because as an opponent, this is a shame. If he loses tonight, it will be even more humiliating, a great shame. Tomorrow's sports headlines will definitely be
Make a big fuss out of this matter. For example, "cannot get out of the line of fire even if slightly injured", "brave of the East", "worthy of being crowned emperor"... and so on.
This is what LeBron James doesn't want to see.
So tonight, he has to win.
Can't lose!
Otherwise, the opponent's title of "Emperor" will be confirmed.
These days, there are many people who stand out as the "first man in the league". In the past, there was the "Jordan Blocker" and then the "Kobe Terminator". Now, he has become the "No. 1 man in the league". Could it be that he also wants to be the "first man in the league"?
"James Terminator" or "James Blocker" comes out? Not to mention this guy's nickname, no matter how you hear it, it makes people uncomfortable... "Emperor"? Who is the "Emperor"? And who is "Sealing"?
James was determined not to let this targeted nickname become popular.
But tonight, he has already suffered 6 big blocks from Tang Qian. If he loses again, the consequences...
"Whether he is injured or not, that is his business and has nothing to do with us." LeBron James withdrew his gaze and said, "We just need to treat him as a normal person." Wade looked at Heat No. 6
He glanced and nodded.
James' intention is very obvious, which is to "take advantage of his injury" and then "make a big fuss".
The Lakers failed to shoot. Tang Qian wanted to fight for the offensive rebound, but he didn't know what was going on in his head. He was half a beat slow. In this half-beat, he lost his position advantage and was beaten by Chris Poe.
Even protected the defensive rebound.
James dribbled the ball and went directly to the fast break. He didn't take the ball until he entered the Lakers' free throw line. Wade cut and ran, and threw the ball into the net. 84-92, the score difference widened to 8 points. James was obviously
He gave up his plan to continue "fighting" and started to link up the whole team to score. This is his advantage in playing, but it is also his disadvantage in playing.
The advantages are easy to understand. He is clear-headed at critical moments, will not rush and rush, is rational and calm.
What about the disadvantages? Let’s not mention them for now, we will reveal them later.
The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian ran a high pick-and-roll, Nash broke through, and then the latter passed the ball to the former, but the former... made a mistake.
Tang Qian actually showed up with a "butter hand" and failed to catch Nash's pass. How could the Heat miss such a good opportunity? They immediately defended and counterattacked, and Ray Allen made a fast break dunk.
84-94, all of a sudden, the score difference reached double digits, a full 10 points.
After Tang Qian came up, it didn't seem to have the expected effect.
Mike D'Antoni began to frown a little. He began to consider whether it was too hasty to replace Tang Qian.
After all, it was a concussion, and even if it was mild, it would probably be uncomfortable.
Should we... replace him? Mike D'Antoni thought about it.
"It's hot, what's going on? Is your head still a little uncomfortable?" Nash also saw that Tang Qian was abnormal, so he asked. Because the ball just now was basically not difficult to catch, but Tang Qian was still confused.
He didn't catch it. "It's okay, Steve, it was my mistake just now." Tang Qian shook his head and denied what the other party said.
"It's hot, forcing it on is not the answer, otherwise you would still..."
"No, Paul, we have to win this game tonight!"
The conversation between Tang Qian and the Lakers players was clearly heard by No. 24. Kobe took a deep breath and thought to himself:
I have also rested for most of the game, and now it is time for me to exert my strength.
Indeed, after this period of transformation, Kobe played much more easily. Although his scoring data dropped, his assists and rebounds improved to varying degrees. Moreover, the team's overall chemical reaction is getting better and better. This is because of his
What I hope to see. Kobe once said that he just likes to shoot and score. It’s not that he doesn’t have the ability to get a triple-double, but it’s a matter of whether he is willing to do so. The continuous accurate triple-double performance during this period is ironclad proof.
, which shows that Kobe is not just boasting, and his tongue is as bright as a lotus flower.
However, he has been suppressing, suppressing his desire to score, suppressing his desire to take action. The purpose is to get the Lakers on the right track as soon as possible and get rid of the ridicule and abuse from the outside world as soon as possible. But tonight, the situation is different.
When it comes time for someone to step up, all my teammates are in poor condition, the game time is running out, and we are almost certain to lose anyway. If this is the case, if I don’t take the blame, who will?
Who would the Lakers give me?
This is one of the great benefits of being teammates with Kobe. You can never risk taking the blame, because No. 24 takes everything.
In the entire history of the NBA, there are most superstars who like to take the blame and take the blame. Kobe is said to be second, but who dares to be called first?
Just speaking of paranoia, perhaps the great Chicago No. 23 is no match for him.
After accumulating for so many days, "Black Mamba"'s heart is ready to move.
Unlike the 2013-2014 season, Kobe's abilities are still there, so he is still full of confidence in himself.
What does the name Kobe Bryant mean in the league? Before the Achilles tendon is ruptured, no matter how you criticize him, do you dare to really let him shoot? Let him kill? Even in the last 2012-2013 season, No. 24 had many key points.
work, let alone now?
The entire Heat team didn't notice that No. 24's eyes began to change.
From a repressor, he became a releaser; from a rational subject, he became a black mamba.
"When Kobe gets the ball, who will he pass it to? Kobe has been playing very reasonably recently, which is one of the keys to the Lakers' current ability to maintain good combat effectiveness." However, the Heat's on-site commentator had just finished speaking, brush~
, Kobe Bryant made a three-pointer, and it was a large three-pointer, at least two or three steps away from the three-point line.
"Kobe was guarding Dwayne alone. He was very close and had tough steps. He didn't give Dwayne any space or chance to break through. Oh~ no good~ Dwayne made a dribbling error and was intercepted by Kobe. Kobe made a fast break.
, James quickly pursued the defense, Kobe took off, James also took off, James blocked the shot, ah~ It’s a pity, it was only a little bit close to blocking Kobe’s dunk.” Under the explanation of commentator Tony Florence, Kobe scored again.
With one goal, he helped the Lakers narrow the score difference by 5 points.
89-94.
And the most important thing is that due to Kobe's "reasonable play" some time ago, the Heat have become slack on his "killer nature". So until Kobe scored 5 points in a row, the Miamians didn't have much adaptability and response.
Reaction. James broke through the paint and once again staged a good distribution show. Chris Bosh completed a mid-range jumper.
Brush~
89-96, 1 minute and 34 seconds left in the game.
But not long after, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers scored again. The whole process took less than 14 seconds. With a brush~, he hit the "second point in the league" and made a three-pointer. 92-96, Kobe 1
In less than a minute, he scored 8 points. This time, the whole Heat team paid attention again.
Eric Spoelstra thought to himself, he is indeed the Black Mamba. A little carelessness or negligence will lead to a fatal blow. I was blinded by the "reasonable cloak" of No. 24 before, really
People thought that this man named Kobe Bryant had just changed his gender.
But he didn't call a timeout, because as the defending champion, he still has this adaptability.
Moreover, winning one more game and less in the regular season is not of great significance to them. Instead, it is to experience the feeling of fierce battles and to temper the willpower and pressure resistance of all team members. That is the key point. Because the real
The champion Heat will not show their full strength here. Only the playoffs are the stage for them to perform.
Everything now is just training and preparation for the upcoming April.
Therefore, Erik Spoelstra did not want to miss this good opportunity for experience. He was also an ambitious head coach, and he had a high starting point. He became a "champion coach" within a few years, so he was hidden
His spirit cannot be compared to that of Mike Brown.
Three consecutive championships! Miami Dynasty! This is his coaching ideal!
When that time comes, he will be full-fledged, and Riley will no longer be able to point fingers at him and order him around!
How many coaches have had three consecutive championships since the establishment of the NBA? They are none other than "Cardinal" Auerbach, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, and John Kudar, who is older than O and Bach. NBA Six
In more than ten years of history, there have been countless head coaches and many championship coaches, but there are only three of them who are the real "dynasty coaches".
No more semicolons from now on.
This shows how resounding the name of this "dynasty coach" is. It is understandable that Erik Spoelstra would be so interested in it. After all, he is only 43 years old this year and has a lot of years left.
You can have a long coaching career, and the cards you have now are extremely strong. It is not impossible to challenge the dynasty. If you can be "successfully promoted" in the next few years, then Auerbach passes away and John Ku.
Dahl has long since retired and is not concerned with worldly affairs. "Zen Master" also temporarily gave up his plan to continue coaching in the NBA because of his failure to join the Lakers. After all, he is the only "dynasty coach" in the NBA. That kind of reputation,
Even if he is still not as good as "Magic Calculator" Riley, he is still invincible among the "new generation", and it is very possible to take over and become the "Godfather of the Heat" in the future.
In this way, my life will be almost perfect.
Money, prestige, power, nothing is left out.
The Heat still had James in possession of the ball, and the Lakers made a misplaced defense. They removed Ci Shiping and used old Nash to defend James alone. It felt like it was stupid? In fact, it was not the case, because Ci Shiping
Although Ping is strong, his pace and speed have dropped too much compared to his peak period. Therefore, when it comes to defending the ball holder in the top arc, it is basically a one-step rhythm. Since it is a one-step process, then Nash or him, who will defend James?
, what does it matter?
Anyway, the Lakers' main method of containment is to help defend inside, make up defense inside, and use the height advantage of the "Twin Towers" to bring offensive pressure to James. So Nash went up to the front, and Ci Shiping ran over to mark Lei. Ah.
It was a catch. However, James still chose to pass the ball. After breaking through, he used his height and vision to pass to Sean Battier, who was open in the bottom corner.
Gasol wanted to save, but it was too late. Battier made a three-pointer.
This is James' strength. Because his destructive power inside is so powerful, his shooting percentage at the basket is even higher than that of the center. So when he bursts in, do you defend him or not? If not, he will definitely attack the basket by himself.
On defense, he suddenly broke through. This skill is almost unsolvable in the current NBA. There is no way to completely contain it.
What's more, Tang Qian is now "ill" and it is no longer possible to guard the Heat's No. 6 one-on-one.
Even if he is "unharmed", after losing the effectiveness of the silver blocking card, he will not be able to block the current LeBron James.
This is the power of the top ten super giants in history. At his peak, he could change directions and "break" away even ability cards.
Fortunately, Battier missed the shot and the basketball hit the rim high.
"Get your seat!" "Get your seat!" "Go to your seat!"
This is the game instruction from the head coach of the Heat. Because the Heat is different from other teams in that they do not have a real big center, so the rebounding department has always been weak. The "Twin Towers" who want to defend the Lakers head-on
"It's too difficult, so blocking + rushing is the best way to make up for it. James, Wade, Battier, and even Ray Allen all have certain rebounding abilities, and they cooperate with the only big man Chris
.Bosh, just complement each other.
Because the overall lineup is not high, even if it fails to grab the rebound, Miami still has enough speed to rush back to the backcourt and resume marking. This is the prototype of "Magic Counter" Riley's future basketball. The center will be the most important
The first position he "eliminated". In fact, even Chris Bosh is the "speedster" in 211CM. He is much faster and more flexible than the ordinary 211CM, so he can play in the Heat.
The team has found its own position. How many traditional centers and traditional interior players have the speed and footwork of Bosh? Therefore, Miami can be regarded as the pioneer of modern basketball.
But Tang Qian didn't like it.
Because his head was always aching and swollen, Tang Qian always felt top-heavy, which gave him no advantage at all in the blocked position. He could not display any skills and skills, and his hands and feet seemed to be slowed down.
It was like a curse. Wade forcibly held him back, preventing him from getting close to the rebound point. Under normal circumstances, Tang Qian could forcefully reverse the position and break Wade's header. But now, he
Can't do it anymore.
The rebound protection failed and Bosh got the offensive rebound.
Sure enough, LeBron guessed it right. This oriental boy gritted his teeth and forced his way onto the stage.
In this case, I won't be polite, because this kind of good opportunity... I won't let it go.
While you are sick, I will kill you!
Smell my crotch, Oriental!
After Bosh got the rebound, he immediately took off and wanted to teach Tang Qian under the basket a "lesson." But at this moment, Tang Qian didn't know where the strength came from, jumped hard, and then rushed up high.
The Lakers' restricted area sky.
What? He is already in this state, how can he still jump so high? Jump so fast?
Bang~
Tang Qian's ball did not cover Bosh, because Gary Vitti was right, even if he has a slight concussion, he still needs to rest and rest. Forced to play, it will only aggravate the condition and make the human body more uncomfortable. Therefore,
It is normal for Tang Qian to be inaccurate in blocking the shot, because just jumping up consumes most of his mind and energy, let alone accurately blocking the shot. It is like a fool's dream, and it is difficult to reach the sky.
However, the effect of interference is still effective. After all, Tang Qian contributed 17 blocks tonight. This set of data is enough to shock Chris Bosh. Except for James, he will be the one to suffer tonight.
Who has the most hats? It’s a little psychological, and that’s as it should be.
So Bosh missed the dunk, the rebound was picked up by Kobe, and he pushed forward alone again, rushing towards Miami's half.
At this time, even a fool could see that the "Black Mamba" had resurrected, so the Heat's defensive focus suddenly shifted to No. 24. But Kobe's touch was already showing, and when he leaned back, he
Even LeBron James, who has super physical fitness, failed to block this jumper.
Brush~
Come in again!
94-96, the Lakers were only 2 points behind the Heat.
There is less than 1 minute left in the game.
Suddenly, the American Airlines Arena became nervous.
1 minute, 2 points. In the NBA, this is not a big score difference at all. An offensive and defensive mistake will ruin it or even be reversed directly. Eric Spoelstra was about to call a timeout, but James
He immediately returned the ball to the Lakers and hit a mid-range shot. Seeing this, the former sat down again and temporarily suppressed the idea of calling a timeout.
He has also read a lot of books recently, especially the autobiographies of famous NBA coaches, which are must-reads. From the autobiographies of these famous coaches, Eric Spoelstra discovered something that is not
The rule of thumb is that if you want to win the O'Brien Cup, you must first go through various fierce battle situations, and the more life and death, the more critical, the greater the sublimation effect on the team.
He thought about it carefully and realized that this was true. A championship won by a star-studded lineup was not safe at all and could easily be overturned by a small problem. The only way is to keep grinding and experiencing
Intense and experiencing life and death, only then can we finally build an undefeated team. According to the description of John Kudar, the first "dynasty coach" in NBA history, a championship is an opportunity, and two consecutive championships is momentum.
, three consecutive championships, that’s an aura. Look at the championship teams in history, one is a single championship, one is a consecutive championship, and another is another three consecutive championships. And according to John Kudar, these three
Inside the file, the element of luck will gradually weaken.
This means that if you want to win consecutive championships or even three consecutive championships, the factor of luck is already minimal.
Especially three consecutive championships, to put it another way, that’s called dominance.
It means that during that period, the entire NBA league was under the rule of this team, and no one else could even think of coveting the throne of the king.
Therefore, in order to create the "Miami Dynasty" and to get rid of the full control of the "Magic Calculator" as soon as possible, Eric Spoelstra made territory planning early on, which is completely different from his usual media image.
94-98, the score difference widened to 4 points again, and James began to lead the whole game against the Lakers' No. 24 in order to win. Kobe was not afraid of the challenge and fought with James from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
The contact was very intense, with sparks flying between attack and defense, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
But Kobe missed the shot because at the moment he took off, he felt a slight lack of leg strength, so the fadeaway jumper did not reach the ideal state in his mind. James' defensive intensity accounted for half of it.
The decline of his body occupies the other half. No matter how he maintains himself or pays attention to training, Kobe is already 34 and a half years old. It is impossible for his physical condition to improve in the future. He can only continue to decline, continue to decline, and continue to decline.
If you pay attention again on the 24th, it will only slow down the rate of decline and will never improve.
This is the helplessness of the old superstar, and it is also the sorrow of the old superstar. Jordan has tasted it in the Wizards, Olajuwon has tasted it in Toronto, O'Neal has tasted it, Duncan has tasted it, Bird has tasted it, and now...it's Kobe's turn.
.Bryant. The laws of history and the magic of time, no one can compete with them.
Okay, let's defend! As long as we protect the rebounds and delay time, we can securely win the final victory of this game!
That's what James thought, but someone got ahead of the Heat and took away the orange rebound.
Who is he? He is No. 29! He is Chinese Hot! He is Chinese Tang!
Tang Qian resisted the feeling of dizziness and vomiting, stood up from the ground, then stretched out his long arms, got ahead of everyone, and knocked the rebound away. It seemed like an instruction with no clear direction, but in Tang Qian's eyes, it was already
It was enough, because this time, the basketball flew out of the Heat player's best position to grab the board. And that side was in the direction of Pau Gasol.
Sure enough, Gasol got the rebound and then made a layup under the basket. With a "beep" sound, not only did the ball go in, but also caused a foul on one of Battier's thugs, 2+1!
The Spaniard clenched his fist tightly, feeling very excited.
But he was just about to walk to the free throw line when No. 29 beside him suddenly shook. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the unsteady Tang Qian. "Tang, what's wrong with you? It's okay, isn't it? Your face looks ugly.
Ah!" Gasol thought about Tang Qian's injury and left the field before, and couldn't help opening his mouth to express concern.
"Well, it's okay, I'm just a little nauseous and my eyes don't feel comfortable." Tang Qian used Gasol to stabilize his body and then answered. However, this answer obviously did not satisfy Gasol, so the Spaniard asked again
Said: "Tang, I tell you, don't show off your strength blindly. Gary is right. This is just an ordinary regular season. You don't need to work so hard."
No need? How stressful is the competition in the NBA? All-star players may be in danger, let alone a sixth man? Furthermore, there is racial discrimination in the league. Players with yellow skin are far more difficult to mix with than white ones. It is difficult for black people to mix and survive.
Therefore, Tang Qian must fight for every opportunity, even if it is a small opportunity, he cannot let it go easily.
This is his current NBA "how to survive."
Tang Qian resisted the "dazzling" in front of him, shook his head, and then walked to the waist of the penalty area, preparing to fight for offensive rebounds.
This guy... is obviously very uncomfortable, why is he still holding on? Can he endure a concussion?
Gasol also suffered a concussion in his career. The feeling was really "desperate". Not to mention playing basketball on the court, it was difficult to even stand up and take a few more steps, but he...
But the first priority now is free throws. If they can make free throws, then the Lakers will be only one point away from the Heat.
A one-point shot in the NBA is equivalent to nothing.
The possibility of the team's reversal will be greatly increased.
Gasol took a deep breath, made enough preparations, and then took the free throw on the spot.
Swipe the ball and score 2+1!
97-98, only one point away.
This time Erik Spoelstra finally called a timeout, because "experience is practice," and you still have to win.
The last 36 seconds are full of suspense.
The American Airlines Arena was noisy and the crowd was chaotic, as if it had turned into a 3D picture.
True yet false.
At least in Tang Qian's eyes at this moment, that's it, that's it.
My head... seems to be getting more and more dizzy, swelling and pain.
Tang Qian endured the discomfort and followed the Lakers players to the bench area.
PS: Please recommend a big chapter ~ Playing with injuries ~ Everyone must have experienced it ~ That feeling, in addition to sourness, seems to have something else. Persistence? Challenge? Transcendence? Xiao Zi can't say clearly, but it is definitely
The mental state is different from normal times, and there are differences.
In fact, as of now, Xiao Zi has secretly eliminated a Lakers player who performed well in the 2012-2013 season. Has everyone noticed? Hehe~
