At the end of the first half, Wade and James had been discussing something.

In fact, they played okay in the first half and played their own style.

The continuous steals and suppression in the opening game, as well as the containment of Li Liang's response point.

Kobe Bryant didn't play well either, being limited by their wheel battle.

But why is it still lagging behind? Why do you feel like you can't beat it?

Kerr and Reggie Miller analyzed their problems for the Heat at halftime.

The first problem is in the interior offensive scoring.

In Howard's absence, Gasol's poor form, Jordan Hill's reimbursement, and O'Neal Jr.'s inability to play, everyone knows that the Lakers' weakness is on the inside.

But in addition to dunks and layups in the fast break, the Heat only scored 2 points inside in the positional battle.

It was James' Tiger break in the first quarter.

Others, Kerr missed 2 layups, and Chalmers made 1 of 5 in the half, and also missed repeated layups.

They were supposed to punish the Lakers' five-man lineup in the final moments with inside scoring, but they didn't. led to Mike Brown's "bold" use of people, which turned out to have a good effect.

The second problem is that the defense did not contain the Lakers' three-point shot, and his own three-point shot was not shot.

The Heat's defense in the first half was tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and it was tightened up, which made the Lakers unable to play the ball and made several mistakes.

But as long as the Lakers slow down and pass back and forth a few times to stabilize the ball, the Heat's defense looks a little frizzy.

The pinch shot was a bit excessive, resulting in a couple of open three-point opportunities from the Lakers from the outside.

The Lakers happened to seize these opportunities, especially Li Liang's 3-of-3, which hurt the Heat a lot.

The Heat's own three-pointer didn't open, and they didn't even shoot a three-pointer in the first half.

It's no wonder that this can be ahead.

The third problem is that James is not out of form yet.

Of course, this is not a problem, James has played well in the first half, but it is not enough.

He didn't find a feel for his shot, and he didn't make any of his three outside shots.

If it continues like this in the second half, there is no guarantee that the Lakers will not let him shoot.

There is also his breakthrough, which was a strong breakthrough in the first half, and the other points were scored by the fast break.

James must have left room to get back into the groove until the second half.

"LeBron will definitely add to his individual offense in the second half, the Heat's backcourt isn't in great shape tonight, they need to score." Cole said.

Then they talked about the situation on the Lakers' side.

In fact, the Lakers' condition is not very good, not to mention that Kobe's performance is really spicy.

But Kobe Bryant played so badly for a reason.

Because of his targeting, the rest of the Lakers players have been given more space and opportunities to perform.

Reggie Miller believes the Lakers' biggest problem in the second half could be Bruce Lee's dumb fire.

"Judging by the previous match data, Bruce Lee scored more in the first half and a lot less in the second. He plays very smartly and is good at stealing points, but he does not have the weakness of attacking with the ball, which will be exposed in high-intensity confrontations. The Heat will definitely target him. But his defense was surprisingly good and he was doing great. ”

Miller praised Li Liang for defending well inside, and you don't look at who is on the other side.

Haslem and Joel Anthony aside, Chris Bosh has been shooting throughout the first half, and no one has grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt.

The two small men in the backfield, Cole and Chalmers, one is short and thin, and the other can't fight, and he can't break through.

Coupled with Wade and James, Li Liang's defensive performance is not good.

For this, Li conscience has a strong number.

In the second half, if James and Wade rushed up, they would never be able to stop it.

But if you have to get your teammates to shrink to help, that's not going to work, and it's even more terrifying to let the Heat's three-point shooter group open.

In the first half, Li Liang alone topped the inside line, and the others on the outside line expanded very widely, so that the Heat had no three-point chance.

There's no way, let's go ahead in the second half, and if you can't stand it, you have to top it.

If you really can't do it, you can only chant the scriptures.

In the first half, the chanting was successful, and the requirements were quite demanding.

Like James, after blocking and dismantling, you can switch defenses and rush directly, and you can't even think about it.

And chanting is distracting, and you have to blurt it out.

Li Liang thought about it again, he still had one [Death Entanglement] and one [One Soul Entanglement], and he had to use these two skills well in the second half.

At the same time, we must continue to rely on Kobe's defense, if Kobe can't shoot on the offensive end and don't give up on the defensive end, then he really can't play.

In the dressing room, Mike Brown laid out the tactics for the second half of the game and analysed the situation in the first half.

Li Liang didn't listen, I analyzed it myself, listen to what you're doing.

He poked Kobe Bryant and said, "Boss, continue to defend well in the second half, we can win if we defend well." ”

Kobe Bryant glanced at Li Liang and thought to himself that you would teach me to win?

I have five championship rings on my hand, and you're going to teach me how to win?

Li Liang didn't give up, and continued: "Look at LeBron, the efficiency is so high, he will definitely attack in the second half, and when the time comes, he will score high...... You know, his stats are better than yours. What about you as an MVP? Can you spell the data better than LeBron? Defend, keep his stats down, and then win, and your MVP will add points. “

Kobe Bryant thinks that Li Liang is really interesting, he has a lot of things to worry about, and he cares about my MVP.

I've never seen a second-round rookie who can worry about him so much, and he's busier than a coach.

Bryant said: "I will definitely beat him, I don't need you to remind the kid, do your job." Well done in the first half. ”

Li Liang took a breath, and said in his heart I performed well, and you need to say that the Lakers are the best in the half!

Look at how you played, scored 4 points at halftime, and said that it was embarrassing to go out, and you were still fighting for MVP.

Complaining in his heart, when the break came, he left the locker room and returned to the court to continue the second half of the game.

Needless to say, the Heat will certainly make tactical adjustments in the second half to deal with the problems that occurred in the first half.

In the first offense of the second half, the Lakers' possession of the ball, after Nash held the ball over the half, he covered with Kobe Bryant on the right side.

The man who defended Kobe Bryant became James again.

Tonight, the Heat is strictly guarding Kobe, and all the people on the front line are on their turns.

Kobe Bryant is also miserable, equivalent to being wheeled.

The Heat's defense did change in the second half, and they no longer contain ball-carriers.

James squeezed directly past Kobe Bryant.

Nash passed the ball to Kobe, who stepped on the line in order to avoid James' pressing......

Li Liang doesn't want to talk anymore, who is this 24th? What's the fight? Why not trade him away?

What the? The contract is too big to trade? Buyout! Cut!

However, Kobe Bryant was ruthless in the defensive section, and Wade took the ball and wanted to rush Kobe, but he had no chance at all.

Distribute the ball to James, James took a step inside with the help of Haslem's block, and still distributed the ball to Bosh.

Bosh catches the ball and misses a mid-range jumper.

Ci Shiping won the rebound in the backcourt.

The Heat have had little adjustment and change on offense.

It looks like they're not ready to attack the Lakers' interior.

Ci Shiping dribbled the ball to the basket by himself, but missed the layup.

This time, Li Liang couldn't pick up the rebound, and Haslem and James surrounded the basket.

The Heat got the rebound and counterattacked, and James broke through the middle with a no-look pass for Wade who was plugged in on the wing.

Wade received the ball and rushed to the basket, and Li Liang came over to help defend.

Wade didn't get on it, and he was directly deducted in 2006.

In 2013, Wade's knee had to be saved, but he shook it three times, and Li Liang was stunned and didn't jump? !

In the end, Wade used his body to lean on Li Liang and made a layup.

Li Liang committed two fouls in the first half and didn't want to foul too early in the second half.

Besides, jump, what's the use of me jumping, I won't jump, you score under the basket.

Wade wanted to cheat a foul to play 2+1, this kid was not fooled.

After scoring two points, the difference between the two sides came to 5 points.

Thackeray served in the backcourt, Nash advanced through the half, and passed the ball behind his back to Kobe Bryant, who came out to receive the ball.

Kobe took the ball and faked it, and the middle went directly into the Heat formation!

He couldn't bear it anymore, he had to break through.

Caused a foul on Wade and went to the free throw line.

Li Liang stepped forward and said: "It should have been fought like this a long time ago, and if you throw and invest, you will know that you are blindly casting." ”

James on the side laughed directly when he heard it, and said to Kobe: "Your teammates are right to criticize." ”

Bryant said, "Let him scold you later." ”

James glanced at Li Liang opposite and found that he was talking about something, this kid is a chatterbox?

Li Liang was taking advantage of the gap between the free throws to chant the scriptures.

Bryant hit both free throws, 47:54, and the difference widened.

Then, the Heat's adjustment on the offensive end was revealed, and Bosh took the ball in the low post and singled Li Liang.

This time, Li Liang's "Silent Scripture" didn't work, and before he could read a few words, Bosh went to the middle, and then stepped up and down, and picked up the basket with his left hand.

49:54。

Then Ci Shiping missed a mid-range jumper, and when he came back, James also missed a mid-range jumper.

James's hand felt bad tonight, which saved Li Liang a lot of trouble.

Then Kobe Bryant held the ball and forced the inside, and missed a close-range jumper under the sandwich of the three.

The Heat's defense, like clockwork, is getting tighter and tighter.

Li Liang obviously felt that it was difficult for him to get the ball.

Now it's no longer Bosh who is guarding him, it's Haslem, who is more flexible and difficult than Pos.

Let him defend Li Liang, which shows that Spo Li Liang has taken it very seriously, and he should have let Haslem play against Li Liang in the first half.

Then, Wade received a pass from James, broke through the basket from the bottom line, and after pushing Li Liang away, he hit a basket with a light throw with his right hand, which also caused Li Liang's foul.

Li Liang's third foul.

He faced one of the best breakaway attackers in league history, and the ball was shaken off by Wade's defense, and the speed was rushed, and there was no way to do it.

It's a pity that the free throw missed, 51:54, and the Heat were closing the score.

Then, Ci Shiping's outside jumper missed, Li Liang couldn't receive the ball, and there was no ball holding point on the inside, Kobe Bryant didn't feel good, and when Nash was targeted, only Ci Shiping could attack.

Thackeray grabbed the rebound in the front court, but he couldn't make a second offensive shot under the basket and couldn't pass the ball.

The ball was cut off by James, and the Heat counterattacked.

James advanced to the frontcourt, and Wade had already cut to the basket.

It's too fast.

James made a lob pass, Wade jumped high, caught the ball and put it to the basket.

At 53:54, the Heat came up in the third quarter with a wave of counterattacks, narrowing the gap to only 1 point.

The Lakers need to score.

Defensively, they didn't make mistakes, but the Heat started to stare at their weaknesses.

Li Lianghu pretended to be a tiger in the first half, pretending that the Lakers had a center, but it couldn't last long after all.

After the timeout, Bryant caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-point shot, and finally made his first mid-to-long-range shot of the game!

At 53:57, it was a goal to stop the bleeding.

Then, the referee blew Nash for a three-second defense and James hit a free throw.

The Lakers have some rumors on the inside.

Gasol came on, and Li Liang returned to the small forward position to play opposite James.

He defended carefully, exposing his right side to James and luring him to the left.

But James didn't go, but after hitting his back twice, he turned over and made a jumper, but he still missed.

missed 5 shots, and this iron level is close to Kobe.

Then Nash missed a shot from beyond the three-point line, and the basket was covered tonight.

Li Liang and four Heat players competed for the frontcourt rebound, but they didn't rush it, and the ball was pulled out of the bottom line.

The offensive burden on the Heat's side fell on Wade's shoulders, and he crossed past Nash, who switched defenses on the outside, and cut into the basket in the middle to shoot!

But Li Liang came out from the flank and interfered with Wade's throw, and Gasol won the rebound.

The score lasted 54 minutes at 57:2.

Tonight's fans seem to be a little disappointed, as if neither side of the stars are playing well enough.

Even Li Liang habitually broke out in the first half and was offensive stealth in the third quarter.

James scored just 14 points and scored just one point from the free-throw line in the second half, although he has already dished out six assists.

It seems that he is still holding back, saving it for the most needed time to deal a fatal blow to the Lakers.
