Chapter 344 Superstar vs Team
??Basketball is a team sport, but nBa's basketball is a team sport that emphasizes individual heroism.
Since the establishment of the nBa league in the 1940s, the strategy of highlighting stars has never been shaken, because from the beginning, nBa was a commercial alliance that existed to earn box office subsidies for stadium spending.
If you want fans to score in the stadium to watch the football, in addition to the exciting game itself and the support of locals, you need to establish the image of a level hero and a level star.
So from the very beginning, the rules of nBa's game are different from other basketball games.
For example, joint defense is not allowed, and this regulation was not cancelled until April 2011.
Because early players had average personal abilities and imperfect skills, scoring goals was relatively difficult.
If joint defense is allowed, the player's personal performance will be greatly suppressed, which is not conducive to highlighting the stars.
Therefore, joint defense is not allowed.
Later, joint defense was allowed, but defense was set up for three seconds. In the final analysis, it was to highlight the role of the player's personal abilities in the game.
With the exhibition of basketball technology, players' physical fitness and personal abilities are indeed becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that a person can control the outcome of a game.
James is one of them. Although shooting is his relative weakness, his self-confidence and personal ability allow him to kill his opponent with any move at a specific time.
Including shooting that he is not particularly good at.
Last year's Boston Celtics were the ghost under the knife.
James was looking for state and the feeling of the game throughout the first half.
In the third quarter, this feeling finally came. Once it came, it would be very difficult even if Mike Brown called a timeout and wanted to interrupt him.
Because James is a very calm and rational player in playing basketball, even when he is in a hot state, he will try to find the best opportunity to achieve results in every attack.
This season, the Heat have counted down on the frontcourt rebounding league and counted down on the offensive rounds, but they scored a lot, relying on the efficiency brought by James.
After the timeout, Nash passed the ball to Li Liang, Li Liang gave the ball to Howard, and Howard took the ball and turned around and hit a hook.
Just a few seconds after the ball was entered, the Heat's counterattack came.
James took the ball and drove all the way from the side to half. He slowed down to the top of the arc and faced Ci Shiping sideways.
After observing the Lakers' defense, he suddenly turned around and dribbled through the middle with his left hand.
Howard came to assist in defense, and James pushed Howard and made a quick stop to throw.
The ball turned around the basket for a few times, but finally fell into the net.
Skipping is not an offensive method that James is particularly good at, but he can make it now.
James has scored 9 points in a row.
Kobe is going to respond, he asked for the ball at the low post, and the Heat's double-team is coming again.
Kobe scored the ball to Li Liang in the bottom corner, and Haslem did not lose his position. He put it on the side and left the bottom line to Li Liang, allowing Li Liang to fake the move and then go to the bottom line and break inward.
Li Liang could not break too deep. Bosh had blocked the bottom position and Li Liang fell into a defensive trap.
He had no choice but to jump and pass the ball, but Wade stole it.
The second mistake in this game, Li Liang's mistake tonight has been measured.
James took the lead in the Heat's counterattack, and no one in the Lakers could stop him.
James received a high throw pass from Wade and made a quick dunk in the air!
James scored 11 points in a row in the third quarter, and suddenly widened the gap between the two sides to 10 points.
1o points is already the biggest difference in this game. The Lakers and the Heat only scored about 5o points in the first half.
James scored 11 points in three minutes, and the entire American Airlines Center was shouting for their king.
Of course, this king was airborne, which was equivalent to the British who invited a German to become the king, that is, George I.
51:61, the situation suddenly became very unfavorable to the Lakers.
Of course Mike Brown can't call the timeout any more. Anyway, his call the timeout is not very useful, mainly to give the players a rest.
The Lakers still need to rely on veterans to solve the problem on the court, and they need to score a goal first.
After the start of the third quarter, Howard scored a goal in the inside, and Kobe, Nash, and Li Liang failed to score.
Kobe received the ball from the backcourt and dribbled through half the game himself.
What Lakers fans are most afraid of now is that they are rushing and rushing.
If he really plays like this, the Lakers may be going to be in a state of silence in the third quarter.
But Kobe did not. After dribbling through half the court, he first used his defensive attraction to transfer the Heat's defensive center to the right.
Then a diagonal pass was passed to Li Liang at the top of the arc.
Li Liang dribbled in, Bosh came to assist in defense, and Li Liang passed the ball to the inside with a hit.
【One entry into the soul!】
At the critical moment, Li Liang used his skills, no �
Howard dunked with both hands!
This ball was quite quenching. Kobe was very calm. Li Liang's pass was excellent. Howard scored the ball steadily.
On the Heat, James' performance did not end.
This time he chose to be low and received a pass from Wade at the low post. Without dribbling, he turned over and made a Golden Duck's independent backward jump shot.
The ball drew a very high arc, and the ball hit the basket, bounced into the net, and hit it again!
With 13 points in a row, James was completely in the form. He usually won't shoot such a ball.
Because he usually needs to adjust his pace and footwork to the most comfortable level before taking action.
Those who do not make any adjustments and directly make strong shots in the air are the strengths of natural pitchers such as Kobe and Ray Allen.
James can do it now, which only means that he feels so good.
Still 10 points.
Kobe continued to control the ball, and he seized the opportunity of the Heat's unstable defense, held the ball and killed the basket and committed a foul, and went to the free throw line.
Kobe is still very experienced and knows that scores are very valuable and important at this time.
1o points is a hurdle. If you can overcome this hurdle and keep it, the Lakers will have a chance later.
If you can't stand it and miss the two balls, it will be really difficult for the Heat to score more than 15 points in one wave.
Both free throws were scored, or 8 points.
Next, James took over the Heat's offensive end, and he either scored by himself or the ball came out of his hand and passed it to his teammates to assist.
The Heat's originally somewhat sluggish attack suddenly became smoother, and the scores rose slowly.
Moreover, such high efficiency gives the Lakers almost no chance to counterattack.
That's it, the Lakers were not further expanded by the Heat in the third quarter.
The reason is that the Lakers play very well.
As the boss of the team first, Kobe did not panic and did not fight randomly by himself, wanting to compete with James in a hero.
If it were Kobe two years ago or even last year, he would likely have made 15 of 4O shots.
The Lakers will naturally also tap out the covers in advance.
But Kobe is really different this year, and he is even more different in the finals.
He is no longer the selfish ghost who ignores the team and teammates for personal honors and data in O4 years.
He is 35 years old and Michael Jordan won the last championship at this age.
Kobe knew that he would not be as strong as Jordan, and this year might be his last chance to win.
He doesn't want to give up every game, so he must stay calm and correct and lead the team out of the predicament.
In the third quarter, Kobe did not get off the court. He and Nash became double-controlled and tried hard to maintain the Lakers' offense, otherwise the team's offense would collapse.
In the third quarter, the Lakers' last attack, they were 7o:81, 11 points behind the Heat.
The Heat scored 31 points in the third quarter, James scored 19 points alone, and had 3 assists.
Kobe held the ball from the outside and faced Wade one-on-one, and he was scrambling time.
Kobe has played such a ball countless times, and at the last moment, he relied entirely on his personal abilities.
This is partly the reason for his low shooting percentage. Whenever there is no time for the offense or the quarter is about to end, the ball will be handed over to Kobe to throw.
If such a ball is shot three or four, five or six in each game, the shooting percentage will naturally be pulled down.
Kobe doesn't care much, he doesn't care.
In the last five seconds, Kobe started and dribble crossover's change of direction.
His level is no longer there, but his skills are still there. After a strong breakthrough in the direction, Kobe suddenly dribbled and retreated to the outside of the three-point line. He had to force his move when he took off!
Wade reacted very quickly and rushed to block the ball, almost touching the ball in Kobe's hand.
But Kobe suddenly changed his posture in the air, and a long pass passed directly to the inside!
Li Liang, this guy, had slipped to the basket for some reason, received Kobe's straight pass and made a quick layup!
The ball hit the Heat's inside, and the third quarter ended the moment the ball entered.
72:81, the Lakers are still behind.
Chapter completed!
