On June 6, 2013, the 2012-13 Finals will kick off at the Staples Center.

The two sides of the match have not changed much from the 11-12 season, which is still the Clippers vs Heat, which is the third consecutive season that the Heat have reached the Finals, but the first two ended in failure.

This season, on the basis of the team's existing players, the Heat brought in players such as Jamal Crawford and Rashard Lewis to further strengthen their strength, and won a strong season with 23 consecutive wins and a season of 65 wins and 17 losses.

The Clippers also brought in Ray Allen, Matt Barnes and others at the beginning of the season, and after winning 10 straight games on multiple occasions, they created a historic 37-game winning streak in the middle of the season, and then won the second all-time record of 74-8 in the season.

The Clippers have received the highest praise in the season, but whether it is the media or fans, when talking about the team that can cause trouble for the Clippers to win the championship, the first thing that comes to mind is the Heat!

Heat team leader LeBron James said before the game: "We've made it to the Finals again, and this time we're not going to come home empty-handed. ”

With four titles in hand and about to challenge for the fifth championship trophy of his career, Nguyen Er Niu looked relatively relaxed, saying in a relaxed tone: "Clippers fans are looking forward to the team defending the title, and I don't think we have any reason to let them down. ”

Before the game, the leaders showed their attitudes and lit the first fire for the imminent finals.

The league is also focusing on promoting the feud between the two teams.

For example, the first-person dispute between Ruan Erniu and James, the master-apprentice encounter between Ruan Erniu and Woodson, the relationship between James and Paul, and so on, there is no need to say much about the main story.

Propaganda to the back, not even the role players let go.

Ray Allen and Lewis, the former supersonic duo, met in the finals and were also brought out to hype.

If there is a topic, there is no topic to create a topic!

It can be seen that countries with different systems are actually doing the same thing in many aspects.

After the mat performance, through the live commentary, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced:

For the Heat:

c Chris Bosh

Pf Udunis Haslem

SF LeBron James

SG Dwayne Wade

PG Mario Chalmers

In fact, this lineup is just an illusion, because James's SF shows F on the subtitles, and in the game, he is actually a C. Once the team fell into positional warfare, he was pretty much the only player with the ball in the low post for the Heat.

On the other hand, Bosh and Haslem are both more on the outside on the offensive end, responsible for providing high output, pulling the interior and opening up space for the Heat's outside attackers.

Of course, James' position is much more flexible than last season, and even if he does push James to the No. 4 position, he is still playing the No. 4 position in the way of the No. 3 position.

For the Clippers:

c DeAndre Jordan

Pf Nguyen Er Niu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG JJ Reddick

PG Chris Paul

There is no change in the starters, and the key is still the defensive problem of James and Wade.

It's true that Redick is congenitally lacking in athleticism, but D. Wade is also not the omnipotent Flash.

Before the start of the match, the cheeks pumped water from the knee more than once.

As for James, due to the change of position, the person in charge of defending him this time has changed from Erniu to kawaii.

During internal discussions, the coaching staff has more than once proposed to let Ruan Erniu play the No. 3 position to limit James, and let Kawaii be responsible for still keeping an eye on D. Wade, but Erniu himself finally rejected this idea.

"We have to have confidence in Koh, he's a fighter, and James needs to take turns and he'll take the lead, I'm relieved!"

In a word, the Clippers' starting point was thus decided.

……

"If I win this time, will you make the next decision?" said Ruan Erniu to James in a high-fived hug session before the start of the match.

This is standard psychological pressure!

James immediately replied: "I'll tell you the answer when I win you!"

As for whether Ah King has a pimple in his heart, he can only see it during the game.

At the start of the game, Jordan Jr.'s jump ball win over Bosh will be in the hands of Redick, who passes the ball to Paul, who carries the ball through the half.

Nguyen Er Niu asked for the ball high and faced Haslem's defense with an 18-foot mid-range shot.

"Bang!"

missed, but Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound and forced a jump in front of Bosh......

The basketball bounced several times on the basket and ended up in the hoop with both teams of players huddled together under the basket.

The defending champions opened the scoring and scored the first point by Jordan Jr., who played very aggressively.

Despite not being a contract year, Jordan Jr.'s initiative has really come a long way from last year.

Maybe it was in the middle of the season, Erniu's meal played a role, and Jordan Jr. did change a lot in the middle and late season.

For a frame center who relies on talent to eat, this attitude is the most important thing.

On the offensive end of the Heat, Bosh held the ball outside the three-point line, and Erniu, who was responsible for changing defenses, had to save, and James took advantage of the situation at this time to get to the position.

Bosh passed the ball directly and hit the flank with a 45-degree back, and James chose to force Leonard.

Back to the body, chisel in, sideways feints, turn back and cut in, lean, and force a shot in a low position!

"Brush!"

Ball in!

Leonard defends well, but James' back-to-back skills have also improved a lot.

Judging from this offensive round, Heat head coach Mike Woodson's tactic is actually very simple, which is to let James try to stagger Ruan Erniu's defense in the matchup.

Egghead knows too well how terrifying the brute bull he dug up is.

James is indeed full of talent, but it is not a wise choice to directly face Kraft.

The two sides began to test each other in the first quarter of the game, and the record of the regular season cannot be used as the basis for the finals.

Both teams that made it all the way from the playoffs are quietly changing.

The Heat, who have seven games against the Pacers, may have changed more, although they do not have a physical advantage, but with a high-intensity Eastern Conference matchup, they can get into the groove earlier than the Clippers.

At 27:23, the Heat temporarily led the home team by four points in the first quarter.

The second quarter started quickly, and Norris Kerr, who played well in the Eastern Conference finals, continued the excellent touch of the previous round, first hitting a three-pointer from the outside, then bursting to the basket and attracting the defense, and also provided an assist for Mike Miller from beyond the three-point line.

Fortunately, the Clippers also played well for Ray Allen and Isaiah Thomas, with Ray quickly hitting two three-pointers in response, while the little assassin swooped down a couple of times to get a kill.

The ensuing time belonged to D. Wade and Paul, who began their performances in the second half of the second quarter.

Here the Flash scored against Barnes' defensive assault basket, and over there Paul hit a 17-foot pull-up jump shot to return the color.

As the game progressed, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides also increased rapidly.

The number of elbow and knee lifts is difficult to estimate, and it is extremely normal to hit a thick place and hold and fall.

The scale of the referee on duty is not strict, and it is clear that he is encouraging confrontation.

At 51:51, the two quarters were over, and the two sides were tied.

Ruan Erniu scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists in the half, and James's statistics were also close, scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists in the half.

In an interview at halftime, Nguyen Erniu was asked what is the difference between meeting James in the finals for the second year in a row.

After thinking about it, Erniu said: "Every year is different, I think my state is more relaxed than LeBron, after all, I have 4 rings in my hand, and he doesn't have one." ”

In addition to rings, Erniu also holds four MVP trophies, and James also has not got one.

The arena is a winner-takes-all arena, and the more chips you win, the more chips you have, and the more chips you have, the more relaxed your mind becomes.

If a person who loses keeps trying to turn the tables, his heart will become more and more impatient.

It's like playing pesticides to get a huge head advantage in the early stage, and the reversal game is not nothing, but the probability is too low.

Often before the big stage, teammates blow up their own mentality and start quarreling.

This is especially true of James and Heat right now!

At the beginning of the second half, James was defended by Leonard for two consecutive rounds, causing the Clippers to seize the opportunity to play a wave of offense**.

Ruan Erniu made 3 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 14 points alone, helping the team establish a double-digit margin before the start of the final quarter.

Also in this quarter, James only scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting, and even pushed Leonard on the offensive end in a hurry.

The impatient Heat tried to launch a final counterattack in the final quarter, but James appeared to have a weak presence, because it was D. Wade and Bosh who were in charge of the attack.

The cheeks shot 0 of 4 in a single quarter, and Bosh shot 1 of 5, so this kind of shooting rate naturally couldn't lead the team to turn the tables.

James actually scored 6 points and 7 boards in the final quarter, but what the Heat, who were behind the score, needed was not a basket guardian, but a leader who could lead the team to attack the city.

At 88:102, the Clippers defeated the Heat by a big score and got off to a good start in the Finals.

Ruan Erniu scored 35 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, while James scored 18 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.

This is another story of Shengyu and He Shengliang!

No matter how you look at it, James who scored a triple-double cannot be said to have performed poorly, but it is also a triple-double, and the Celestial Empire is obviously the better side.

The much-anticipated G1 was successfully harvested by the defending champions.

More crucially, most of the time it was not Kraft Nguyen who was in charge of opposing James, but second-year show Kowye Leonard.

At the beginning of the game, the position that was considered the strong point of the Heat's offense was firmly locked, which was an unexpected situation.

Kawaii has made a name for himself in the fight, and according to the current trend, there is a good chance that he will continue to be responsible for defending James in the next series.

Once kawaii can keep tonight's hold on in the rest of the game, the Clippers will surely be able to successfully defend their title fairly easily.

After the game, Ruan Erniu even sent high praise to his little brother: "I know that Kehuai can do it, we planned to let him defend James from the beginning, in fact, he overfulfilled this task, he spent most of his time playing against James tonight, scoring 15 points while only letting LeBron score 18 points."

Don't forget, Kawhi is only in 2nd grade, don't always say that the Clippers are a dual-core run, remember the name Kawhi Leonard, who sooner or later will be our third big man. ”

Vicky, who is on vacation, also expressed regret, they had the opportunity to trade for Leonard, but they didn't get their wish, this facial paralysis kid is so in line with the Spurs' temperament, but it's a pity that he now belongs to the Clippers.

The Heat, who had a bad start to the game, had to adjust quickly, and it was frustrating to lose G1, but the series had only just begun, and the Miamins were far from losing confidence.

The G2 game was played three days later, again at the Staples Center.

The format of the 12-13 Finals has not changed in any way, the 2-3-2 format has been analysed many times before, and for the home team, the first two home games are the most important, and once they lose one, they will put a huge psychological pressure on the next three consecutive away games.

Therefore, the Angelenos who won the first game did not dare to be careless.

After the start of G2, the two sides did not have the same temptation as G1, but directly entered the confrontation state of fist-to-flesh.

The referee blew six fouls in the first three minutes of the first quarter, which shows the intensity of the confrontation.

At 22:22, the two sides were tied in the first quarter, whistles and free throws became the main theme of the first quarter, and the game became choppy.

In the second quarter of the game, someone on the Clippers' side stepped up first, and this time it was not the outside player in charge of the main offense.

Dunks, rebounds, empty cuts, mid-range shots.

In the time of 1 minute and 40 seconds, it was not Ruan Erniu, not Paul, nor Redick, Ray Allen and others who scored 8 points on 4-of-4 shooting, but Chris Anderson, who has always been considered the team's blue-collar worker.

Birdman, who has made great contributions to the last two championships of the Hawks dynasty, has been doing a pretty good job since becoming a Clippers bench this season, and the most attractive thing is naturally his hairstyle and tattoos, but he is by no means the kind of player who can be emptied.

Last summer, the Heat also pursued the Birdman, but with Caron Butler's big contract in hand, there was really no more salary to strengthen it when the luxury tax had been paid, so they could only watch the Birdman go to the Clippers.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment of the finals, Birdman would stand up and give the Heat a fatal blow.

The Clippers found the X-factor in this game, but the Heat also had someone step up, and Mario Chalmers, who scored a team-high 19 points in this game, was their hope.

Super Mario once led the team to chase the score to only 5 points in the third quarter, but Ruan Er Niu finally stepped up and closed the game.

In this game, Erniu scored 28 points, 22 rebounds, and 6 assists, and finally helped the team win G2 103-119.

James still looked a little sluggish under Leonard's defense, scoring only 17 points, 8 boards, 7 assists, and shooting just 41.2% from the field.

This is the most fatal blow for the Heat.

The team leader was defended by a sophomore rookie for the second game in a row!
