Chapter 497: Be Steady
James' three-point attempt missed, and Jordan Jr. got the backcourt rebound.
The ball was handed to Li Liang, who gave the ball to Griffin, who held the ball on the outside and organized it 45 degrees away on the left side.
This is different from the first half, which was organized by Li Liang and other players, and Griffin was hard chiseled in the low post.
By the third quarter, the roles apparently began to swap.
Li Liang used the cover of Barnes and Jordan Jr. on the right side to look for opportunities.
Griffin turned his back to Wade, saw the right moment, and a pass found Li Liang outside the three-point line on the right.
As a result, Battier suddenly struck out and intercepted the pass!
However, this ball Battier did not make a steal, but just knocked the ball out of bounds.
If Battier hadn't come over to intercept the ball, Li Liang would have made a three-point shot directly after receiving the ball.
For the power of Li Liang's three-point point, the Heat generals and Spo are deeply afraid.
The throw-in was re-served and there were only about 10 seconds left in the attacking time.
The ball was given to Crawford, who faced Wade's defense, and after consecutive crotch dribbles, he missed a pull-up jump shot at the top of the arc.
Under the basket, Jordan Jr. single-handedly pinned down the three Heat players, and Li Liang slipped over from the bottom line, clicked this frontcourt rebound in the crowd, and put the ball in!
Li Liang is on the road of stealing chickens and dogs again!
But it works.
The Heat's interior line is originally a weakness, and Jordan Jr. is a pillar on the inside.
In order to protect the backcourt rebounds, the Heat need two or three people to entangle him on the inside.
Li Liang didn't find an opportunity and grabbed the second rebound and scored the basket.
Li Liang's hand is very good, he grabs the frontcourt rebound and rarely takes it back up, or passes out to reorganize the offense.
I finally managed to get the ball to the basket, how can I pass it again?
Wouldn't it be over just putting the ball in?
The score came to 54-59, and the Clippers led by five points.
The Heat served quickly in the backcourt, and James dribbled across the halfcourt.
He no longer gives the ball to Chalmers or Wade as slowly as he did in the first half.
After James crossed the three-point line, he turned his back directly and pressed Li Liang inside.
The Clippers returned quickly, shrinking the defense, and Griffin came over to make up for it.
James passed the ball to Bosh, who was following behind, and after Bosh received the ball at the top of the arc, he hit a jumper from beyond the three-point line!
James added an assist, but this time his assist was no longer a leisurely response from the outside, but an opportunity for his teammates to be extremely aggressive with his back.
Immediately after Griffin was on offense, a very casual pass led to a steal by the Heat.
The Heat quickly counterattacked, Janeway connected, Wade threw a long pass, James jumped high, and the air relay dunk was successful!
After James came to the Heat, I don't know how many flight attendants he played with Wade.
For two rounds in a row, one offense and one defense, the Clippers' poor play is related to Griffin.
The score was levelized in an instant.
Li Liang scolded angrily: "Do you know how to play?" It's okay to be steady! Just like me, take it easy! β
These two goals made Li Liang angry, and he was still the champion, and he was not cautious at all when he played.
Whether it's the easy pinch-and-assist defense in defense or the random passing in attack, it all exposes a weakness in Griffin's game.
He's lacking in focus, his talent and ability is definitely very good, but concentration can get in the way of him being a great player.
was scolded by Li Liang, but Griffin did not make any rebuttals.
Zhuangyuan Xiu, being stared at and scolded by a second-grade second-round show, this is ...... I feel like he has a point!
Griffin really didn't have enough focus at the start of the third quarter.
He didn't immediately enter the battle state like James and Li Liang, but was a little slackened.
In the face of James's strength, Li Liang responded in the way he was best at.
In the positional battle, he received a pass from Crawford at 45 degrees on the left side and shot directly into three points!
James was still a step slower in this shot, and Li Liang shot very quickly and resolutely, hitting three points!
This is the first three-pointer scored by Li Liang in this game, which is still very rare, and he didn't score a single one in the first half.
However, on the Heat's side, Chalmers also scored three points.
James continued to advance quickly with the ball, attracting two Clippers players to defend and then splitting the ball to Battier.
Battier then passed the ball to an open Chalmers, who scored on a three-pointer.
The Heat play a bit like the Clippers at this pace, whether the opponent scores or not, they just have to be fast anyway.
Hurry up, no one in the league Clippers is worthy.
It's all called Clipper, if it's not faster, is it called a slow ship?
After Chalmers scored, Li Liang immediately took the ball and served quickly in the backcourt, and Collison handed the ball to Li Liang in the middle of the half.
Li Liang received the ball on the outside, seized the opportunity and suddenly accelerated from the right side to break through to the basket, and then threw it high to Jordan Jr. who was inserted in the middle.
Little Jordan relayed in the air and won the dunk!
The Clippers player is also a flight attendant.
This ball Li Liang caught James in a bad habit when defending.
James rarely takes the initiative to defend close to himself when he returns to defense, he likes to take a step back, wait for the two sides to fall into position, and use formation and prediction to deploy defense.
So sometimes, James is easy to be caught off guard.
After an acceleration pass, the Heat's defense was torn apart.
To be honest, Li Liang's speed is not fast, but he has a good timing.
This is what he learned from "James" in the system.
After all, James can't bite an opposing player 120% on the defensive end, unless it comes to a critical moment.
Then, Bosh made a layup under the basket; And Griffin, with the help of Jordan Jr.'s cover, went to the basket and turned the top for a layup!
Caused a defensive foul on the Heat.
Griffin's spinning top made his head spin.
Li Liangdu doubted whether he could find where the basket was after he finished turning.
Griffin hit both free throws, and the margin continued to be staggered.
Despite his lack of focus, Griffin did well tonight.
After hitting two free throws, he has scored 20 points and is the Clippers' top scorer.
And it's very efficient, just not as good as Li Lianggao.
Li Liang didn't shoot any other shots except for two three-pointers, and all the other shots were scored.
Next, Li Liang successfully stole James's pass in defense, and in a quick counterattack, he suddenly accelerated and threw off James who was following behind, and made a layup with his right hand!
In the confrontation between the two sides, the attacker is the active side after all.
James was going to guess how Li Liang would finish the offense.
And Li Liang felt that James's pace was slow, so he immediately accelerated and chose to make a layup to end the offense.
In this kind of fast-break one-on-one duel, in addition to the physical fitness and technique of the players, it is more important to look at the psychological quality of the players.
Some players panicked as soon as they saw James chasing after them.
When your brain is messed up, your steps are messed up, and you think about dodging after you jump, and the final result is often a hat or a simple layup.
Some players with strong psychological quality, even if they are much worse in height and weight, but the ball is in their hands, and the initiative is in their own hands.
Dare to make moves, calm down and observe the movements of defenders, and get the ball into the basket after grasping the initiative.
For example, Jason Terry, who made a fast-break layup in the 11 Finals, was not afraid of James chasing him at all.
He also dared to slow down and wait for James to come up, and then use his body to lean against James behind him to find physical contact.
Even if you enter, if you don't enter, you can get a foul, and you can't do it again with a 2+1 or something.
Terry is a veteran who has played for ten years, and a second-year rookie like Li Liang, James really doesn't know how his heart grows.
After Li Liang scored this goal, the Heat began to slow down the pace.
Wade slowly dribbled across the halfcourt, handed the ball to James, and organized the positional offense.
The Heat realized that it was not the way to play fast with the Clippers, and they still had to find a way to slow them down.
But that's easier said than done.
James faced Li Liang one-on-one on the outside, used his body to force a breakthrough, and was surrounded by the Clippers in the middle.
James calmly distributed the ball to Bosh on the wing, and Bosh received the ball from outside the three-point line and missed.
Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and instigated a counterattack again.
Li Liang played the ball quickly, he had already found Collison who rushed in front of the left flank and passed the ball.
Collison jumped up to catch the ball, landed and rushed forward with the ball, got to the basket and had no chance, went around and hit the ground to Griffin, who was following later.
The door of the middle lane opened, Griffin opened his bow like a full moon, and caught the ball with one arm and dunked it!
The Stamp Center shook the pitch and Griffin scored his 22nd point of the game.
But then, James held the ball at the top of the arc, stabbed a step and hit a mid-range pullup jump shot.
The two points are plain, but the effect is the same as a violent dunk.
This ball immediately cooled down Stamps's temperature.
James knows when to cool down the game, and in that regard, he can't be steady.
In terms of stability, how could Li Liang lose to James?
Seeing James hit a pull-up jump shot, Li Liang turned around and returned one.
The same is the middle of the ball, after a tentative step, a spur, and then a mid-range jumper shot in the horn position, also hit!
An answer?? ballγ
The two men used the same attack.
So far in this game, Li Liang seems to be a mirror image with James, and his playing style is average.
The commentators at the scene all bluntly said, "Bruce Lee is very similar to LeBron in every way, which is unbelievable." β
If Li Liang wants to hear this, he will definitely curse.
Lao Tzu like LeBron?
My handsome face is white?
Also, I play like LeBron, but it's just because I haven't achieved a lot of ability in all aspects.
You see that I have practiced the ability to hold the ball and change direction by then, the six-vein divine sword, Ling Bo Weibu, let you understand what it means to be gorgeous!
Now there is just no way, the technical level is not up to par, a little frustration is a little frustration, just use it.
The two sides played hard in the first half of the third quarter.
James and Li Liang became the absolute core and highlight of both sides on the court, and teammates fought fiercely around them.
James didn't get bogged down in endless singles just because he wanted to compete with Li Liang.
He is still very calm in his selection and judgment, passing the ball sharply and accurately, and constantly sending assists inside and outside.
In the third quarter, James' assist count has reached 10.
And Li Liang obviously strengthened his outside projection, while the defensive end put a lot of pressure on the Heat.
Li Liang was in good shape for steals tonight, and had contributed 4 steals by the third quarter.
Li Liang, a defender who can be inside and out, is what the Heat's big and four small lineups fear the most.
Their collective attack relied too much on the movement of the ball.
The Heat's perimeter moves are becoming cautious.
By the end of the third quarter, Li Liang and James were resting at the same time.
Li Liang scored 10 points in the third quarter and had 16 points in the game, 16 rebounds plus 2 blocks, 4 steals and 4 assists.
James scored 12 points in the third quarter and finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
Both of them are very efficient, play with a strong style, and as long as they are on the field, they can make their teammates feel at ease.
There is a feeling of fixing the needle of the sea.
Comparatively, James seems to be a little more sedate.
Maybe it's because it's ugly, but it's more secure.
As for Li Liang......
It's not because he's handsome, but because of his consistent playing style in the past, which lets everyone know his explosiveness.
I don't know when it will break out.
Maybe at some point in the fourth quarter.
