Chapter 1466 Unexpected Fierceness
On December 5, the Lakers continued to play at home, and this time their opponent was the Miami Heat. This was the first time the two teams met this season.
After entering December, Los Angeles had its first snowfall. From Ji Feng's mansion to Staples Center, the entire road was covered with snow. Ji Feng drove twice as long as usual to reach the training hall.
However, the Lakers' training continued as usual. Los Angeles snowed from time to time in winter, which was not a problem for the Lakers players.
If there was any impact, it should be the Miami people. Although Los Angeles is not a bitter and cold place like the Denver Plateau, it is still much colder than Miami, which is warm and comfortable all year round.
The Miami people arrived here on the 4th. As soon as they got off the plane, the Heat players who were originally dressed in suits and ties and ready to show off were forced back by the cold here, and they all retreated back to the cabin and wrapped themselves up like dumplings.
Beasley, the big mouth, also complained about the weather here to the media who came to interview him: "Everyone says that Los Angeles has a good climate, but looking at this weather, I feel like my dick is going to be frozen."
Ji Feng saw Beasley's interview and was immediately relieved. Beasley is still the same Beasley, as always. It's a miracle that this guy can play well.
This season's Heat is still in a state of neither up nor down. Last season, the Miami Heat returned to the playoffs, but they only had one Wade, which was not enough for the team to return to the throne.
This group of passionate young people are still fighting for dignity, but the management turned a blind eye. After a boring summer, the Heat, who are stepping into the new season, are still full of questions. Whether to continue to tap internal potential or look forward to 2010, no one knows. At least in the 2009-10 season, the Heat are still far away from their "comeback".
In the summer, the only move of their team was to introduce Quentin Richardson from the Timberwolves, and then... that's it. It's so simple that people are too lazy to write about it.
They did let go of quite a few people, sending Marcus Thornton to the Hornets, Moon to the Cavaliers, and Blount to the Timberwolves.
So their starting lineup is the same as the second half of last season, center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Michael Beasley, small forward Richardson, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, point guard Mario Chalmers.
Yes, maybe he was sanctioned at the 3rd position for too long, or maybe the Heat really couldn't find a second person inside, so Spo waved his hand and Beasley swung to the 4th position, becoming a glorious power forward.
Spo must have a grudge against Beasley, otherwise he wouldn't do such a thing. Although Beasley is indeed a swingman, in this era, Beasley has no advantage at the 4th position. His advantages are reduced, but his shortcomings are infinitely magnified, just like tonight, how should Beasley play Gasol?
If they continue to play like this, regardless of how the Heat perform, Beasley will soon be out of the game. However, looking at the "magician" Pat Riley who appears in the audience every time at home, Ji Feng always feels that this guy is playing a big game.
Okay, no more gossip, back to the court.
The game on the evening of the 5th still attracted many fans to cheer. After filming, the two goddesses, Black Widow and Anne Hathaway, appeared in Staples in casual clothes.
Beasley is indeed a true brother of Adu. He wanted to chat up with the goddess before the game, but Black Widow and Hathaway ignored him directly. To be honest, they came here to watch Ji Feng play, and they didn't really like basketball. They just liked to watch Ji Feng play. They may only know Wade in the Heat. Is Beasley such a person?
Beasley, who was ignored, watched the goddess he couldn't hook up with hugging Ji Feng who had just appeared like a little girl. Hathaway even hung directly on Ji Feng, which made Beasley jealous. He wanted to fight Ji Feng for 300 rounds immediately. However, he thought that he was not Ji Feng's opponent...
"Fuck, I will get back sooner or later!" Beasley thought bitterly. He felt that he needed to show his power tonight!
However, the Heat did play well tonight, but it had nothing to do with Beasley...
Opening!
Although Bynum fought for the ball, the Lakers unfortunately didn't score in the first attack. Wade of the Heat dribbled through the frontcourt, and O'Neal was old and started. He found an open position in the pick-and-roll and dunked the ball inside to officially open the scoring curtain of this game.
After that, Ji Feng was not to be outdone. He also passed Richardson on the outside and assisted Bynum to score 2+1!
"Both teams focused on the inside at the beginning, and the success rate was not bad. This game may be very intense." Yang Yi said.
As soon as the words fell, the two sides started a 3-minute chaos. The Lakers made a mistake in passing the ball. Wade was cut off by Kobe as soon as he got the ball. He passed it to Gasol for a layup but it bounced out strangely. Ji Feng rushed to the frontcourt rebound and passed it to the outside line. Old Fish missed a three-pointer. Beasley rushed to the basket after getting the ball, but his layup was blocked by the basket...
For 3 minutes, neither side scored a point. Yang Yi scratched his head. When did he have the skill of poison milk?
Until the 5th minute, Beasley found an opportunity to layup and scored, 4-3, overtaking by one point.
At the critical moment, the Lakers once again showed their advantage in the interior. Ji Feng became an assist player on the outside, attracting the defense to send out 4 assists in a row. Gasol and Bynum teamed up to play an 8-5 attack wave, rewriting the score to 11-9.
Then Chalmers took advantage of the leak and made a three-pointer, and the Heat overtook again.
At this time, Kobe finally couldn't help but take action. He hit all two consecutive attacks to help the Lakers stabilize their position. However, unfortunately, there were 5 minutes and 22 seconds left in this quarter. Kobe, who received his second foul of the game, could only advance earlier. Rest.
At this time, Chalmers' fiery touch was still there, and he hit his third goal from beyond the three-point line. Even the aging center Magloire sneaked under the basket to score points. Seeing that the Heat were about to open up the score, Ji Feng stepped forward in time and succeeded in two consecutive inside attacks to tie the score at 19!
After that, neither team performed well for a period of time. The Heat gradually opened up the score with free throws, while the Lakers did not score for more than two minutes until 13.3 seconds left in this quarter, when substitute Artest rushed in. Under the basket, with three people attacking, shooting and grabbing, they struggled to score 2 points. After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Heat 21-23.
In this quarter, Wade generally missed all 4 shots and relied on free throws to score 1 point. However, no one thought that Wade would burst out with so much energy in the second quarter!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ji Feng felt hot and made three consecutive three-pointers to catch up and take the lead. Just when people were cheering, Wade started to show off his power!
Facing Kobe, the long-lost Mi Zongbu appeared again. In five consecutive rounds, Wade scored all the points, and even scored two 2+1s. A wave of 12-point individual performances locked the point difference. !
After returning from the timeout, Haslem played a beautiful 2+1 on Gasol, and the Heat took the lead again!
