Chapter 1835 The Proud Janeway, the Classic Cough Door
Bang!
James, who was about to leave, was so angry that he received a long pass from Wade and scored his 10th point in the quarter. At the same time, he also led the team to a 12-1 spurt, which also allowed the Heat to close the gap for the first time. Expanded to more than 10 points!
Zen Master called a long timeout, and the fans at the scene also celebrated with crazy cheers. This is the first time this season, including the regular season, that the Heat have gained such a big score advantage. How could they not be excited.
"Janeway is connected! Oh, this is the real Miami, this is the real Heat, tremble, Los Angeles people!" The on-site commentator was even more excited. He stood up and danced, instantly turning the camera's gaze from the Heat. The bench that celebrated wildly was attracted away, and I don't know if this commentator was a Heat fan.
But the Heat players didn't care. The 11-point advantage gave them an instant boost of confidence. James shouted: "We can beat them, we can do it!"
And Bosh is even worse. He has only scored 7 points so far, and he has not scored a point in the second quarter, but it does not stop him from roaring. When he returns to the bench and faces the audience, there is a "dragon roar", and the fans atmosphere Peaked instantly.
Only Wade was calm. While celebrating, he did not forget to remind his teammates: "Don't waste time, they have been fooled. We must continue to expand our advantage and don't give them a chance to breathe!"
"Don't worry Dwayne, we have James, he has been resurrected!" Chalmers, a blind guy, came up again, so there is a reason why he and James can't be brothers after so many years in the Heat. , this talkative guy needs a beating, it would be nice if he wasn’t traded.
But what he said is correct. James has already scored 20 points, which is only 4 points less than the 24 points he scored in the first two games. This state is unique in the finals. The outside world has already analyzed it. Counting the four games in 2007, this is the first time James has scored more than 20 points in a half in the Finals. To say that he is in excellent condition is not an exaggeration.
In addition, although Ji Feng was sitting on the bench, the Zen master never let Ji Feng play. According to his idea, the point difference was still controllable, and the Zen master was prepared to put Ji Feng on the court at the critical moment in the second half.
This idea also played another role. Many people believed that Ji Feng was a doubtful opponent, and Ji Feng would definitely not be able to play. The probability of the Heat winning has definitely improved by more than one level in many people's minds.
However, the Lakers didn't think so. They had made sufficient preparations for possible difficulties before the game, so even if they were hit by a wave of climax, there was no panic. Zen Master still arranged the tactics in an orderly manner. He took Powell Up, Shannon Brown replaced Farmar, and the Lakers decided to play fast.
This substitution worked. In the few minutes after the timeout, the Lakers' offense was very smooth and their shooting percentage was not bad. This frustrated the Heat's intention to continue to expand the point difference. Although James played hard, Kobe and Artest's turns of defense made James feel worse, and then he made two consecutive shots. The Lakers took this opportunity to cooperate 12 seconds before the end of the second quarter. Kobe Bryant hit a buzzer-beating mid-range shot. At the end of the half, The Lakers trailed by 9 points 50-59.
"The nine-point difference is not bad. The Lakers played very tenaciously, but Ji Feng's absence still caused some difficulties for them. The offense was not very smooth. They only scored 50 points in the half. This was despite a good feeling. "Complete, their offensive possessions were 18 fewer than the season average, which shows Ji Feng's impact on the Lakers' offensive fluency," Smith analyzed in the live broadcast room.
"Yes, there is also defense. James scored 21 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in the half. This data has returned to his regular season level, or even higher. He is more confident on the court and makes fewer mistakes. Feng's absence left the Lakers without an important fulcrum in limiting James, which was also the main reason why the Lakers fell behind at halftime," Barkley continued.
"Of course, the Lakers can still play. Kobe had 16 points at halftime, Gasol had 10 points, and Bynum had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. The three of them felt good and their scoring was very balanced. As long as they can continue to open up in the second half, It’s not that easy for the Heat to win.”
The analysis of the two of them also represents the thoughts of most people. The Lakers' heritage and player strength are here. Even without Ji Feng, their strength cannot be underestimated. If the Heat want to win, they cannot relax.
But in the Heat locker room, it was definitely a celebration atmosphere. After returning to the locker room, they danced excitedly, as if victory was right in front of them.
What's even more outrageous is that before the end of 15 minutes, James and Wade walked out of the locker room chatting and laughing. In the player tunnel, James and Wade first chatted about the second half, and then Wade suddenly fell ill and injured his left hand. He put his fist to his mouth and pretended to cough.
James behind him asked: "Why are you coughing?"
Wade replied with a smile: "Because I'm sick."
Then James imitated Ji Feng's actions on the bench, picking up his clothes and covering his mouth to cough.
The two seemed to find this very funny and laughed together.
Wade went on to say, "The weather is really nice here," and James added, "It's not like Los Angeles, where it's only 2 degrees."
Wade seemed to think that James' imitation was average, and he imitated it himself. The two of them just imitated as they walked, and they didn't return to their serious state until they walked out of the tunnel.
It was obvious that the two of them were maliciously imitating the sick Ji Feng on the sidelines. This was a very stupid behavior and very childish, but it could also be seen that Janeway had really been suffering from Ji Feng for a long time, and he finally caught him. Now is the chance to finally reveal his true nature.
Of course, if this is done in private, it's okay to imitate. No one knows anyway. However, there are many cameras and photographers hidden in the players' tunnel. They recorded the two people's entire actions without saying a word. , when Janeway returned to the bench, they had already sent out the video information as quickly as possible!
Janeway, who was sitting on the bench, didn't know yet that the biggest black spot in his career was on his way, and he was coming at an extraordinary speed!
The first person to react was ESPN. They directly broadcast the behavior of James and Way 3 minutes before the game, and a generation of "cough gate" was born.
Mourning, who was tonight's guest commentator, looked helpless after watching: "I want to say that this is childish and boring behavior. Who can be without injuries? This is also the first time I have seen imitating such behavior. It is really boring. I think they should learn to respect others, including their opponents, and they should focus on the game.”
Mourning, who is missing a waist, is most afraid of others imitating in front of him. If it were him, he would probably bite out the waists of these two people.
Fans were also the first to express their anger, with criticisms pouring in online.
