Chapter 1852 A Hearty Battle

Ji Feng made two shots in the opening game, plus a steal and an assist, leading the team to a perfect 7-2 start. Not only did he suppress the Heat's arrogance from the previous game to tonight, but he also showed his good condition.

"Ji Feng did not feel cold because of missing one game. He still maintained his excellent form since the playoffs this year. This should be the last thing Heat fans want to see." Barkley said.

Yes, just watching these two minutes of the game is enough to make some Heat fans with poor psychological quality feel chilly. Tonight's Ji Feng was particularly outstanding.

As if they felt their hearts were not cold enough, the Heat offense made another mistake. James's heavy passing route was very positive, but it was too cruel. Such a big force caused Bosh to let go of the ball and the ball flew out of the baseline. The ball was in his hands. Change of ownership.

Naturally, the Lakers would not waste the gift from the Heat. It was Ji Feng again. Holding the ball at the top of the arc, he dribbled two steps back from his hips and made a gesture. James did not dare to be careless, although he knew that Ji Feng might be a fake move. But he still didn't dare not guard against it. After all, Ji Feng's step-back three-pointer was too accurate, so he would rather let Ji Feng break through.

As he wished, Ji Feng officially faked the move. The moment James pounced, Ji Feng collected the ball and came back. Then he passed James one step ahead of time. Bynum pushed away Bosh who was trying to cover up the defense. Ji Feng split and dunked with one hand. 2 minutes!

After scoring 7 points in a row, the Lakers took a perfect 9-2 lead at the start. Spoelstra called a timeout, and everything seemed to be back to the first two games. Even the ESPN commentator said that after Ji Feng returned, the Heat seemed to be back to their original shape, and even more so. Heat fans broke the rules and said, stop fighting and just award the award!

However, the Heat did not collapse as expected after the timeout.

After coming up, Wade took a pass from James and forced a spinning top to hit Bynum. He made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. Although he only had 1 point, he also broke the Heat's scoring drought.

As for the Lakers,... Bynum shot inside, Bosh got the rebound, and the Heat counterattacked. James used the pick-and-roll to dodge Ji Feng's defense, misplaced the inside and hit the small, and scored two points with a throw in front of Bynum.

These 3 points also allowed the Heat to stabilize the situation.

The difference between the two sides returned to 4 points.

After that, Gasol and Bosh both grabbed offensive rebounds and scored for their respective teams. Kobe scored 4 consecutive points in the paint, but then Wade's unreasonable three-pointer sealed the score again!

Afterwards, the Lakers still left it to Ji Feng to Kobe to instigate the offensive scoring. Kobe's picturesque backwards made the fans marvel, but the Heat quickly responded. James and Wade responded again with 4 points in a row, while Ji Feng scored 4 points in a row. After 7 points, he took another shot, forced James away, and switched hands for a layup in the air. Not only did James hit him, but the ball also went in!

Ji Feng scored 3 points for the Lakers with consecutive shots and penalties, maintaining the 4-point lead. However, James assisted Wade, who was in great condition, and scored another three-pointer to narrow the point difference to one point.

Fortunately, Kobe scored 4 points at the end of the first quarter to give the Lakers the lead again 37-33 at the end of the first quarter.

"Huh~!" Yu Jia sighed heavily after finishing the last attack. I believe many fans will have the same reaction as Yu Jia after the first quarter, because the game in the first quarter was really exciting. .

"Enjoyable!" Yang Yi on the sidelines used these four words to give the best explanation for the first quarter.

There is no doubt that these 12 minutes are the most exciting section of this finals. Both sides played very well. No matter the team tactics, intensity, or star performance, it was perfect. Both sides chased each other, and the score was always deadlocked. The two sides bite together, and neither side makes any unnecessary moves. There are not many fouls, and the game is very smooth.

"This kind of competition is a real audio-visual enjoyment." Director Zhang also praised.

The fans at the scene were also fascinated by it. Regardless of the outcome of such a game, the excitement was already worth the price of admission.

Of course, behind the exciting game is an unexpected development.

The Lakers returned to their peak level after Ji Feng's return, which was expected. Ji Feng scored 14 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the first quarter, and committed 4 fouls. His shooting rate was 75%. He played very bravely. , there is no trace of illness on his body.

Under his leadership, Kobe scored 9 points, Bynum scored 5 points in the first quarter, and Gasol scored 6 points. They were both the best performances since the Finals. 37 points in a single quarter is also above average in the history of the Finals. level, it can be said that the Lakers are the ceiling of offense in this era.

But what is unexpected is that the Heat, who average only about 90 points per game, actually kept up with the Lakers' offensive rhythm tonight. Although the score was always behind, the Heat were always able to bite and did not let the score be further opened. , especially in the unfavorable situation of falling behind 9-2, the performance of James and Way brought the Heat back on track.

Not only did James score 10 points, Wade also scored 8 points. Chalmers, Bosh and Haslem also scored, and the shooting percentage also remained above 50%. After consecutive mistakes in the opening game, the first There were only three mistakes in the quarter, which is undoubtedly very surprising.

The Heat, who were crushed by the Lakers' sharp offense in the first two games of the Finals, are still fresh in my mind. At least tonight, it's impossible to connect this Heat with the previous one.

"Now, we believe that the Heat in the last game are not a return to the past, they have really undergone a transformation." Barkley said.

Being able to compete against the Lakers already explains a lot.

The process of the second quarter also confirmed people's judgment.

Same as the first quarter, Ji Feng led a group of substitutes to take advantage in the first 4 minutes of the second quarter. Ji Feng's ability to lead the substitutes was really strong. Two assists allowed Xiang Nong to dunk here happily, and Ji Feng's Accurate three-pointers also widened the point difference to 8 points.

But the Heat quickly stabilized the situation after James' return. James assisted Miller and hit a three-pointer from the corner. After Kobe Bryant played 2+1, James also used the pick-and-roll to hit a 2+1. Gasol was deceived by James. , paying for his second foul.

When James was taking a free throw, he had another quarrel with Gasol. Naturally, Ji Feng would not let his brother suffer. The score was 1-4, and Ji Feng faced James at the top of the arc.

Ji Feng also discovered the difference in the Heat this game. The Heat this time was even stronger than the last game, and their tactical execution has also reached a higher level. All of this is naturally due to the recovery of James who scored 16 points, so the best way is , defeating James head-on!

James also understood that he had to suppress Ji Feng, so he defended extremely seriously. He had been waiting for this moment for too long!

"Wow!" Many fans stood up. This was a 1v1 rhythm, and the spotlight seemed to be focused on these two people.
