Chapter 1848 The Heat Was Born Ahead of Schedule

"The Heat played this ball well. James held the ball, Wade, and Bosh were positioned on the wings. Chalmers and Haslem met at a 45-degree angle, and the other was stretched inside and ready to rush at any time. Offensive rebounds, this tactic is a bit like the Cavaliers back then," Director Zhang commented.

Director Zhang really hit the nail on the head. This ball is a true reflection of James' ability during this period.

During this period, James was unstable in the low post and had no mid-to-long-range shooting ability, so he developed a style of play that was very suitable for him. Relying on his powerful body, he could always crush his opponents and complete breakthroughs. For those shorter than him, James, the opponent player, can use his tonnage to overwhelm his opponents, and James can use his speed to drive away opponents taller than himself. It can be said that as long as James is on the court, he is a scoring point with full firepower.

There is no one in this league who can completely limit James' breakthrough one-on-one. Ji Feng relies more on his body and prediction in advance to deal with him. When James and Ji Feng are in good condition and meet, it is more likely that they will interact with each other. Explosive, but Ji Feng has a richer arsenal of weapons, so Ji Feng has some advantages, but it is extremely difficult to completely crush them.

Of course, Ji Feng's advantage lies in his comprehensiveness. He has too many weapons in his arsenal. He is the best person in the league at defending James. There is no doubt that on the offensive end, if James is extremely difficult to limit, Ji Feng is completely clueless.

The words belong to James.

Breakthrough is very simple, but after the breakthrough, it is the key node that shows James' ability.

There are too many people in this league who can break through. Which team doesn’t have a few breakthrough masters? James’ breakthrough is indeed good. He can dunk and cause damage. But the difference between James and most breakthrough masters is that he has a very good overall view. Well, that makes him a great breakout passer.

In addition, his breakthrough is so sharp that he can always attract the defense of 2-3 defensive players. This gives birth to the most important part of basketball, which is the open space!

It is said that James has his own system. The system he brings is a system that combines sudden shooting. As long as James is matched with a few trustworthy shooters, one or two insiders who can create space, and a few blue-collar workers who do the dirty work, this will A team can succeed. It is for this reason that people who usually do not perform very well in other teams have the opportunity to shine next to James.

So if you want the team to be great, no matter how you play, surrounding James is the easiest way.

And because of James's own technical shortcomings, including long-range shooting and other problems, he is also the player who is least able to play without the ball, not even one of them. Letting him play without the ball is equivalent to destroying half of him, or even more. Take a look at the first two James looks worse than an ordinary player.

But now, James has returned to what he is good at. Not only is he comfortable, but the threat from others in the Heat has also emerged.

Ji Feng, who was sitting on the sidelines at this time, could not predict the future. He did not know that because the loss was so miserable, the top three Heat, which should have taken more time to stabilize, appeared early.

Of course, the Heat still have big problems, but it can be clearly seen on the court that this Heat is completely different from the previous three games.

In the first 6 minutes, the ball almost all went out of James' hands, and the Heat's offensive efficiency was also much higher. They scored 18 points in these 6 minutes, which was very rare in the past, and James' data It's also very beautiful. Although he only scored 4 points, he scored 4 assists and 3 rebounds, and only made one mistake. This was definitely the most comfortable 6 minutes James played in the finals.

However, the Lakers also played very well. Kobe was very excited tonight. He changed from his usual habit of only exerting his strength in the second half and attacked aggressively from the beginning. His touch was also very good. He hit all the first 4 shots and scored 8 points. It also caused consecutive fouls by Bosh and Haslem, and the court was in the limelight for a while, and the Lakers also maintained a weak lead at 20-18 under the leadership of Kobe.

This advantage was maintained by the Lakers until the end of the first quarter. Kobe scored 15 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to a 3-point lead of 30-27 entering the second quarter.

The score is dominant and the main general is strong.

This also made the Zen Master relax his vigilance.

It stands to reason that he should have been able to discover the changes in the Heat's tactics early and thus change the Lakers' tactics accordingly. However, the Lakers have always taken the initiative on the court and maintained the lead in the score, so the Zen Master couldn't help but be a little careless.

He didn't see James' 6 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 turnover, and his efficient performance with a shooting percentage of 80%. He also didn't notice that all 6 players on the Heat's field in the first quarter scored, except for Wade and Wade who scored 7 points. Bosh scored 4 points, Haslem, who had barely seen a shadow in the past, scored 6 points, and Chalmers only made 1 of 3 three-pointers and scored 3 points, and the Heat even had a chance to complete it if it weren't for his poor three-point shooting. Go ahead.

And it turns out that on the basketball court, carelessness can cause problems!

In the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Kobe took a daily rest. The Lakers used Gasol to lead the game. They replaced Shannon and Fisher in the backcourt, with an old and a young combination, and Powell partnered with Barnes on the striker.

This combination has average attack power but good defense. It is even better because of its drive. It is also Zen Master's favorite lineup. The only difference is that Ji Feng is not on the court.

Therefore, the ball is first handed over to Gasol inside.

However, the Heat were new and knew that they were not good as a substitute, so they simply replaced two people. James Wade still stayed on the court, and it seemed that he was going to play the entire game.

And the change begins here.

Gasol took the lead and scored two points on a layup to extend the score to 5 points. The Lakers were still celebrating, James Way connected directly, and with a bang, James had completed a dunk.

When the Lakers were serving, the Heat suddenly double-teamed the whole court. Shannon was still young and forced the ball to be cut off. Unfortunately, the ball hit his leg and went out of the sideline, and the ball changed hands.

Jackson was very dissatisfied with the ball, but before he had time to adjust, James forced the inside to score 2+1. Gasol fouled twice and the score was evened. The situation was not good.

Zen Master deployed his troops and replaced Bynum and Artest first. Barnes was a little unable to withstand the impact of James tonight.

But although Artest came up and shut down James' personal offense, his assist allowed Wade to hit the Heat's second three-pointer in this game!

The Heat are ahead!

Although the trend of G3 made Heat fans dare not celebrate when they took the lead, the Heat did not let the advantage slip away so easily this time.

Janeway rushed into the paint crazily. The Lakers were a little distracted for a while, and they began to stop scoring on the offensive end. By the time Kobe came back, the Lakers were already 7 points behind!

However, Kobe's touch was still excellent, and he hit a three-pointer.

However, the Heat's momentum was already showing. As James broke through and assisted Chalmers for a three-pointer, the Heat expanded the score to 10 points at the end of the second quarter!

At this time, the situation did not allow for any false moves. Zen Master mobilized his troops and the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle in the third quarter. Fouls were very frequent and scoring became difficult. However, James still scored 7 points and 4 assists. In the third quarter, he scored 24 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds. The Heat entered the fourth quarter with a 78-71 lead.
