Chapter 46: To James
On January 18, 2012, the Spurs flew to Miami after a day off, and they finally faced the league's biggest championship favorite, the Heat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the summer of 2010, LeBron James decided to take a pay cut to join the Heat, and the Heat triumvirate was formed.
After reaching the finals last season, it was overturned by the Mavericks, and the cough door incident was staged, and the face of the Big Three was lost.
However, the performance of the Heat in the shrinking season is not very good, and so far in the game, their record is only 9-4, which is too big compared with the Spurs' 13-1, and it is obvious that the two teams are not of the same grade in terms of state, so before the game, the media is more optimistic about the aging Spurs.
For James, An Xi looks down on this league superstar who can't win and wants to huddle, he, like most fans, has become an invisible Zhan Hei since LeBron James decided to do it. The reason why it's invisible is because playing in this league, even if you have an opinion about another player, as long as it's not that kind of hatred that kills children and wives, it's better not to talk about it.
So Anxi didn't tell anyone that he was actually a Zhan Hei.
Of course, Anxi's blackness towards James is actually still at a low level, and it is not the kind that is more than crazy, he just can't look down on James's behavior of running to the Heat.
Miami on the south coast, the winter is warm, if you look for a reference city from China, Anxi feels that this weather is more like the weather in Hainan in China. There are also a lot of domestic reporters in Miami, because of the popularity of the Big Three, there are also a lot of Heat fans in China, among these fans, most of them win the game, the quantity is large and the quality is inferior, but the victory is in the traffic, so the media still attach great importance to it.
The game started at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, and the Spurs lined up point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan and center Thiago Split.
On the Heat side, point guard Mario Chalmers, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Chris Bosh and center Joel Anthony.
At the beginning of the game, the Heat played the defensive counterattack they are good at, while the Spurs cut into the positional battle unhurriedly, slowly and leisurely playing offense and defense with the Heat, and it seemed that the two teams were going to divide the victory and defeat in the rhythm of the game first.
The Spurs' defense of James is Leonard Cowai, and this game is also the first time Leonard has faced James, and a battle between the old spear and the new shield is on the court.
Because of last season's failure, the Heat learned from the pain, Dwyane Wade also gave up his central position, this season, LeBron James controlled almost all of the Heat's ball possession, and James finally got what he wanted.
The Spurs' blocking and the Heat's defensive counterattack played back and forth, and the game became very exciting, and the score was very anxious.
Judging from the scene alone, the Heat is indeed the biggest opponent of the Spurs, because this battle is actually the Spurs after recuperation, and their physical fitness is still very sufficient, and the Spurs in this battle can be called the strongest Spurs.
The two sides went back and forth, the game was very intense, the pace of the game slowly accelerated, and the Spurs' slow positional battle could not suppress the Heat's sharp counterattack, so in the second quarter, the Spurs had to make substitutions.
"Ann, you play, replace kawaii, defend LBJ." Popovich hurriedly arranged a sentence and let Anxi play.
In the 5th minute of the second quarter, Anxi came out and faced LeBron James......
As soon as he got on the court, it was the Heat's offensive round, and Mario Chalmers advanced to the front court with the ball, and then handed the ball to James.
An Xi glanced at Chalmers, he knew that Chalmers was actually a functional point guard, and his role on the court was to control the ball to the front court, and then hand the ball to the star, and then just wait to shoot three points.
Of course, Anxi himself is not, if he is also asked to be a point guard, it is estimated that this is the case.
But he didn't have time to think about it so much, because James was already holding the ball, wrapped in a strong body, and came over.
An Xi stiffened it, and with his body, it was still very easy to support James's impact without all his strength.
James was a little surprised, he found that the Asian in front of him did not look very strong, and he could withstand his own shock. Think about yourself for so many years in the NBA, and there is no outside player who can withstand his own impact, which one can only stagger his body and get out of the way?
An Xi, who was a punch away, naturally didn't know James's thoughts, looking at his opponent, the superstar who set a precedent for the pinnacle huddle seemed to be serious, and An Xi was ready to meet James's next impact.
"LeBron James's breakthrough, China An stopped him, James turned around, one turned and passed, and then accelerated, he rushed into the inside! Quick layups, get it! ”
The ESPN commentary described what happened next in this wave of offense at a very fast pace, LeBron James used a tricky way, rushed to the restricted area, and then quickly completed a layup, the whole process only lasted 2 seconds at most, and before Anxi could react, James had already scored.
An Xi was helpless, he thought that James would only break through with brute force, but the result was ......
In fact, this is Anxi's impression, James is not the kind of player who can only break through, last year's finals played the Mavericks, even if the Mavericks used JJ Barria to defend James, James did not choose to break through by himself, but chose to pass.
So this incident teaches us that we still can't be impressed!
Spurs attacked, Popovich shouted from the sidelines: "Slow down! Slow down! ”
As a result, Manuginobili dribbled the ball slowly, trying to control the tempo, and the Spurs' offense entered a slow positional battle.
After a few erratic runs, blocks and screens, the Spurs found their way and with three seconds left on the offensive clock, Manuginobili hit a shot and hit it.
Back to the defensive end, Anxi faced James again, this time he was much more serious, the defensive failure just now made him realize that James is not the kind of player who has no skills at all, and the opponent may use a strange move anytime and anywhere to break through his defense, especially James is still a player with good speed and strength, often a small mistake will be won by the opponent in lightning.
LeBron James dribbled a few steps with the ball, and suddenly rushed to the three-point line with an arrow step, Anxi hurriedly moved sideways to block, and the two collided like this, regardless of victory or defeat.
Then, James repeated his old tricks, and turned around again, wanting to wipe past An Xi.
An Xi took another step sideways and blocked the ...... again
James found himself up against an opponent who matched him in terms of strength, speed, and reflexes......
