Chapter 207: Splitting Huashan

The race is on.

In the jump ball, Chris Bosh relied on the advantage of his neck to get the ball first.

James got the ball, handed it to Chalmers, and began the Heat's first offense.

This season, the Heat have the second-highest three-point shooting percentage in the league, behind only the Golden State Warriors.

Although the Lakers have Li Liang's 48% league-leading three-point shooting rate, some people are holding back.

At the same time, the Miami Heat ranks first in the league in two-point shooting percentage, and ranks third from the bottom in terms of shots.

From these three data, it can be seen that the Heat's offensive efficiency is very high, and second, they play very cautiously on the offensive end, and rarely have the opportunity to rebound in the front court for the second offense.

They also have the lowest number of rebounds in the league.

This is destined for the Heat to play very carefully in the offense of positional battles, and they must make the best choice every time they shoot without rebounding guarantees.

With both James and Wade, they must be unstoppable on a fast-break counterattack.

That's where the Heat come in.

For the first shot, Chalmers handed the ball to Wade, who came out of the baseline, and Wade and James made a cross switch in the high post.

"Change the guard, change the guard!"

Li Liang yelled on the flank, Miami's positional battle pass was very fast and accurate, and the Lakers had to quickly switch defenses if they wanted to keep up with the opponent's offensive transfer.

Kobe Bryant immediately switched defenses with Ci Shiping to keep an eye on James, and Li Liang also shifted his attention to this side.

Wade didn't find a chance with the ball, and Bosh pulled out on the wing to provide Wade with a screen.

But Wade didn't go to cover and break through, but gave the ball to James who cut inside!

Bryant stared at James, James did not make a strong breakthrough, and he moved the ball to Chalmers on the other side in a wide range halfway through.

Chalmers then distributed the ball to Haslem in the bottom corner.

After a series of shifts by the Heat, Haslem was empty.

Li Liang let go of the opposing Bosh and pounced on Haslem.

Haslem shoots a mid-range jumper in the bottom corner!

Interfered by Li Liang and missed, Thackeray got the backcourt rebound.

"Rest assured to shrink, I'll fill the loopholes." Li Liang said to Thackeray.

Because James had just cut to the basket, Thackeray shrank under the basket, and Haslem was freed.

Li Liang's reaction was very fast, and he saw the Heat's vacancy on the defensive end, so that he could interfere in time.

The Heat's first offense was unsuccessful.

Nash possessed the ball past half court and began the Lakers' first attack.

During Howard's absence, the Lakers' offensive focus completely shifted to the outside.

Li Liang's blocking and dismantling three-pointer, Nash's circle breakthrough, Kobe Bryant's outside single, and Ci Shiping's low-post offense are all important weapons for the Lakers' offense.

Li Liang came out to catch the ball as a strategy, and the ball at the top of the arc was Chris Bosh who defended him.

Bosh has an advantage against Li Liang in terms of height and reach, and as soon as Li Liang gets the ball, he steps forward to interfere.

At the same time, Chalmers pressed Nash closely, Nash wanted to pass behind Li Liang, and the two did a cross transposition, but Chalmers squeezed through and did not give a chance.

The Heat's perimeter defense is really not on the same level as other teams.

The oppressive is extremely strong, Li Liang wants to block and dismantle with Nash, play outside or go down, and find it very difficult.

Only a single player of Dirk Nowitzki's caliber can easily tear apart the Heat's defense with a high pick-and-roll.

After holding the ball for a while, Li Liang did not find a good pass or shot.

At this time, Kobe Bryant came around, and Li Liang handed over the ball to Kobe.

Bryant missed a three-point shot at the top of the arc after receiving the ball.

Haslem grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

The first attack of both sides was unsuccessful.

The Heat launched a counterattack, and Chalmers quickly dribbled across half court to pass to the fast Bosh.

You are too naïve, when Li Liang does not exist?

Li Liang directly broke the ball, and before the ball flew off the baseline, he saved the ball back and handed it to Nash.

A lapse by the Heat.

The two sides were a little tight at first.

Li Liang's high-level strategy was undoubtedly targeted by the Heat.

As soon as Li Liang got the ball, Chalmers and Bosh pressed very tightly, desperately compressing the passing space between Li Liang and his teammates.

Li Liang thought to himself, head coach of the Heat, you still know how to play and know that you are targeting me.

Li Liang is not a person with an iron head, since he has been targeted, he should avoid his edge.

This is the benefit of being a role player, some people praise you for playing well, and there is a boss for playing badly.

The Lakers have so many famous stars, others think it will be depressing to play here.

Li Liang is like a fish in water, because these stars are all top pot in his opinion.

It would have been a shame if he had gone to a weak team, no offense with the ball, no one to split the pot, no one to draw the defense, no Mike Brown.

Li Liang passed the ball to Ci Shiping, and then stepped forward to make a cover for Ci Shiping, and immediately cut out to open up the inward space for Ci Shiping.

Ci Shiping dribbled with his left hand, pressed James all the way to the inside, and made a layup with his left hand!

Ci Shiping was the first to break the deadlock.

The Heat served quickly in the backcourt again, and James ran to the frontcourt with the ball.

James and Ci Shiping in the front court were one-on-one, and after continuous dribbling, James pulled out a dry shot from mid-range.

The ball bounced out of the basket, and Haslem tried to compete for a frontcourt rebound under the basket, but was stuck by Li Liang.

Bryant picked up the rebound in the backcourt.

But then, Nash made a passing error when he blocked with Li Liang.

He tried to stuff the ball to Li Liang from between the two, but was stealed by the Heat.

Chalmers took the ball and James rushed forward.

Chalmers throws the ball into the air, James catches the ball and catches the dunk!

Split Huashan once!

Both sides did not play well in the opening positional battle.

Then Li Liang cut inside after blocking and dismantling on the outside, and Nash came around and hit the inside line.

Another steal, a steal from Chris Bosh.

Bosh took the ball and passed it directly to the frontcourt, and James took the ball and took off again.

Split Huashan twice!

This Huashan is split every day, and it is also pitiful.

Who provoked whom, why didn't you go to split Mount Tai and Songshan?

Nash missed two passes in a row, which is very rare.

But the so-called superstars are all iron monsters, and Nash doesn't believe in evil yet.

He quickly dribbled across the half, and without the slightest pause, he immediately called Li Liang's block.

Before Chalmers entangled, Li Liang went down the middle, and Nash handed the ball to Li Liang's hand with a blow.

Li Liang took the ball and rushed directly to the basket, but behind Bosh and Haslem on the side came up.

Li Liang tricked Haslem into a feint, and then hit him!

"Beep!" The referee blows the whistle and Haslem defends the foul!

Haslem was full of frustration after he landed, how could he be deceived by this kid?

Nonsense, if Li Liang's goal is strong, he will definitely not score.

His ability to fight to the basket is only worth much, with Bosh behind him and Haslem in front of him.

And he walked on the left side of the ball, and the left hand layup was not as skilled as the right hand.

So this ball is just for making fouls, and the free throw line is my world!

Li Liang has not missed a shot at the free throw line this season, and his 100% shooting rate!

Spicy four real dripping cowhide.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Liang hit two free throws steadily.

It's really stable.

Before having the system, among Li Liang's various basketball talents, [hand stability] can definitely reach the NBA historical level.

It's a pity that the others are too vegetable.

The two sides played to a 4:4 draw.

Subsequently, the Heat missed the outside jumper, and Li Liang won the backcourt rebound.

This time the ball was handed to Kobe, and Li Liang squatted in the bottom corner, but Kobe's pass on the left side was tackled by Wade!

Another steal!

Wade held the ball quickly, Li Liang quickly returned to the defense and followed James closely, but Wade did not pass the ball and rushed directly to the basket with one hand to split the dunk!

Split Huashan three times!

Damn, Huashan day dog.

But that's not all, Wade didn't return to the backcourt after a successful dunk.

Instead, he and James and Chalmers directly launched a full-court stare in the front court.

Thackeray, who served from the bottom line this time, panicked, seeing that it was about to be 5 seconds, and he didn't know how to call a timeout.

casually sent the ball out, but it was tackled by James.

The fourth steal.

James steals and then stuffs it straight to the basket, Wade catches the ball and dunks again!

Split Huashan four times!

Hua Shan: Are you finished?

Mike Brown saw that the situation was a little bad, and the Lakers were targeted by the Heat's defense and wanted to call a timeout.

At 4-8, the Lakers trailed by four points, and their basket was split four times in the opening game.

The Miami Heat, indeed, are strong.
