In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers and Heat's scores rose slowly.

The Heat have not made any three-pointers from the outside until now, and have not made any of them.

Mike Brown's defensive strategy is indeed good. After adopting a small lineup, the team is required to switch more defenses and not give the Heat's outside shooters a chance to take an open position.

For James and Wade, if you can, you won’t be able to do so, and you will be very careful in both positions in the bottom corner.

This defensive strategy is a bit similar to Warriors Mark Jackson's defense, putting the middle and defending the wing.

The Heat did not make three-pointers in the first half, and there were very few three-pointers to make phones.

In this way, the three-pointer feel will not be able to maintain the touch, and it will be even more difficult to hit the third and fourth quarters.

The result of this fight is that Wade is almost free to come and go in the middle.

After Li Liang interfered with Wade's layup, the Lakers failed to hit the offensive end.

Gasol received an inside pass from Kobe, and his layup was interfered with and missed.

The Heat are not tall inside, but their forwards really do their best to protect the basket.

Every time the Lakers go to the inside to play high-stop cooperation, the Heat will have at least two people interfere.

Gasol missed a layup close for the second time. It's one thing, and it's a fact that the Heat have a good defense.

Mike Brown was anxious on the sidelines. The Lakers felt that they had the advantage in the scene, but they always felt that the Heat could take the game away with just one wave of effort.

There is no way, the Heat have James and Wade, both of whom are the kind of players who can ignore defense and tactics and control the situation by one person.

Sure enough, Wade also realized the emptiness of the Lakers' defense in the middle. He no longer ambushed the wing, but instead got the ball at the top of the arc and broke through and rushed to the basket!

Facing Li Liang who came to defend, Wade threw a high throw and entered the net.

Mr. Wei's steps were not as fast as before, but they were very stable, and they were not too fast or too slow to throw, which made Li Liang a time difference.

Li Liang still has a lot of experience to learn when protecting the basket.

56:57, 1 point, this 1 point is the Lakers' safety line, and they must keep it anyway.

Kobe still wanted to use his offense to help the team. He used the ball to break into the inside and made a layup against the two of them, but he still missed.

This is a two-handed board-playing game. Kobe has used the safest way, but the Heat's inside battle is very strong.

The three people surrounded Kobe, Bathir, and Haslem and Kobe were all posted together.

The ball bounced on the basket and Li Liang appeared again.

He jumped up and pointed it into the basket.

Successful tip-in!

Li Liang scored for the first time in the second half, scoring 21 points.

On the sidelines, Spoo clenched his fists and wanted to swear words, so he forced himself to hold it back.

You scold me, but if you don’t scold me, it will cause internal injuries, but it will be bad.

After all, in the future, there are many opportunities to scold people when they show up with Li Liang.

This ball was James's fault. He stuck most of the position in the third quarter and failed to get Li Liang's rebound. As a result, he seized an opportunity to steal the chicken successfully.

56:59, another relatively safe 3 points.

Spo called a timeout and wanted to arrange the offense in the last period of the third quarter, not wanting the Heat to lead the backward into the fourth quarter.

Li Liang was sweating after the match. He looked up at the time. There were more than 3 minutes and 50 seconds left at the end of the third quarter.

Based on his experience and feelings, LeBron James must start to make efforts.

...

After the timeout, both sides failed to attack once. Norris Cole was interfered with Li Liang and missed the ball, and Lakers Jamison did not make a jump shot from the outside.

LeBron James got a backcourt rebound and he dribbled through half the game.

Li Liang knew as soon as he saw his steps, he knew that James had entered another state.

Before, he was slow in the half, neither rush nor slow, stretched his body and observed his eyes everywhere, mainly to make goals for his teammates.

Now, his body tightens and dribbling for half the game, he feels like he needs to exert force at any time.

Li Liang was squatting on the side of the three-second zone, and he didn't dare to go up and help with defense.

James' passing vision is as terrifying as his breakthrough. If you think he wants to attack, if you double-team him, he will punish you with passing.

Ci Shiping formed the first line of defense to block James, and Ci Shiping can be regarded as one of the most suitable players to defend James in the NBA.

But now he is old and cannot keep up with it.

"Defend him to shoot, and prevent him to shoot but die!" Li Liang shouted in the inside.

What he meant was to get Ci Shiping closer and not let James shoot.

If James breaks through the inside, Li Liang can commit a foul.

But Ci Shiping did not do this. So far, James has not made a mid-range and long-distance shot.

Of course, Ci Shiping is preventing breaches but not attacks, and is one step away from James.

James adjusted the ball and suddenly took a step forward, stepped into the three-point line, one with two points longer!

The ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the net, which was James' first mid-range shot in this game.

With 16 points, James has scored 16 points so far.

After scoring the goal, James looked at Ci Shiping and said, "You should listen to him and guard against my shot."

58:59, it's still a 1-point gap.

Of course, Li Liang would not let Ci Shiping go, and stepped forward and said, "Let him break through, I'm here!"

Ci Shiping glared at Li Liang, "You have nothing to do with it?"

"How do you know I'm useless if you don't let him in?"

The two had a slight argument, but there was nothing we could do about this ball.

What can you do if you pull a shot in front of you one on one?

Ci Shiping's defensive strategy is fine. He hasn't made it before, so he should be so defensive.

The reason why Li Liang said that was only based on his intuition that he felt that James had tried to vote so many times before, and it was time to enter.

Not only James should enter, but Kobe, you should enter too!

Li Liang gave Kobe a pick-and-roll screen from the outside, and then Li Liang went down and Kobe gave Li Liang a lob.

Li Liang took the ball in the ox horn position, and he felt useless when he took the ball in this position.

The Heat's defense has been clamped up, and they can double-team almost anytime and anywhere on the outside, and they can be dispersed immediately after double-teaming.

Li Liang protected the ball with his back, and suddenly passed the ball with his back. Kobe ran back into the inside to catch the ball, and made a layup against the Heat's double defense!

Kobe is slowly regaining his feelings.

58:61, continue to maintain the advantage.

But this advantage lasted only 10 seconds.

Ten seconds later, James dribbled through half the game just now, and at the same position, this time he did not take a step forward, but made a three-pointer!

He knew that his hand felt so he had to take advantage of the heat of his hand to quickly invest.

"Swish!" Hit!

James hit the first three-pointer in the game.

61:61, both sides tied!

James scored 19 points, one step closer to 30 points.

You still have no choice but to rush to the frontcourt to get in, and you can get in.

There was no problem with the Lakers' defense, it was purely the personal ability of the star.

At this time, Kobe seemed to be activated.

He took the ball from the left, flicked a shot, broke into the three-point line with a step, pulled out his hand and hit it!

At the end of the third quarter, the top cards of both sides broke out together and entered the mode of fighting gods.

61:63, the Lakers once again took the lead.

Of course, James would not miss this perfect opportunity.

He used Bosh's cover to break into the inside with the ball, and then at a distance of 10 feet, a backward drift jump shot of a horse riding archery.

The posture is really ugly, and it looks like a crab being picked up in the air.

But the move is really stable, without any interference, and the hit is accurate.

Still split evenly, James scored 21 points.

Li Liang has tried his best to defend this ball, but you can't defend it with James' touch.
