?? In the playoffs, a veteran suddenly makes a difference, which is quite important for a team.

Because of their physical age, these veterans are often unable to continue to output in the regular season, and their data and state feel like they are declining.

But when it comes to the playoffs, every win counts.

Veterans can have a big impact on the series when they just burst their energy in one game.

Jamison's seven straight points gave the Lakers a six-point lead over the Heat at 24:18 at the end of the first quarter.

The game was very unfavorable against the Heat, not only did they not expect the Lakers to suddenly use the wonder man of Jamison, but their own state was even worse.

The Lakers are extremely resilient on the defensive end, and when the Heat didn't feel good in the first quarter, they fought fiercely with rebounds in the front court and got several secondary offensive opportunities, just like the Lakers played the Heat in the first game.

But no matter how many rebounds they conceded, the Lakers' defensive enthusiasm and formation have always been maintained, and the players have been quite focused from start to finish.

Of course, this is indispensable to Li Liang's roar, his voice is hoarse on the defensive end, constantly reminding his teammates to follow the defender and make up for the vacancy.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Jamison's role was temporarily completed, and Brown reintroduced O'Neal Jr. to stabilize the defense.

At the same time, Ci Shiping and Meeks were replaced, and Kobe and Nash were replaced.

As long as one of Ci Shiping and Li Liang is on the floor, LeBron James will play very uncomfortable.

The duo pursued the defensive strategy developed by Mike Brown against James, letting him shoot and only giving it to the left and not the right if it was bursting.

After driving him into the three-second zone, Howard or O'Neal Jr. will be on the inside to make up for it.

Others are within reach, and they must help disrupt James, while returning to their own single-defense players in a timely manner.

In contrast, for Wade, it's to let Kobe Bryant one-on-one.

Because James is now more powerful than Wade.

The game was played three times, and James' performance outside the three-point line was indeed lackluster.

I only score one or two in each game, and I don't easily make a shot.

In this regard, James and Kobe Bryant are really completely different, Kobe Bryant is easy not to pass.

Li Liang and James each fought on the court with a second lineup.

Li Liang tried to shoot a three-pointer from the outside and missed it.

James singled Li Liang with a one-on-one back in the low post on the right side, and after Li Liang resisted James, he stood and stuck the position of the bottom line, and released his right hand side to the basket.

James hesitated, if he burst this ball, he could only burst from Li Liang's right hand side, his left hand side.

And O'Neal Jr. is eyeing the basket, and O'Neal Jr.'s block can be said to be quite terrible so far in the series.

In the end, James opted for a mid-range jumper and didn't score.

O'Neal Jr. took the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Meeks to push back.

Meeks held the ball and killed the half, Gasol and Li Liang made a double cover for Meeks, Meeks stood outside the top of the three-point line arc, blocking Gasol and Li Liang in front of him, and shot directly at three points!

Hit!

Meeks' bold three-point shot, 27:18.

Subsequently, the two sides played each other for 2 minutes, from 11:00 to 9:00, which made Spo a little flustered.

The Lakers are not afraid of each other, they lead the score, and the Heat have never been able to find an offensive feeling.

The Lakers just put James' three-pointers and stayed two or three steps away when defending him.

Once James can't tear apart the Lakers' defensive formation, the rest of the second team will have a particularly hard time playing.

Many times, the Heat have to rely on small guards like Chalmers and Kerr to break through with the ball, because there are no points to use.

But the Lakers did a particularly good job of protecting the basket under the basket, and O'Neal Jr. and Howard basically ensured that the basket was constantly protected.

As for the Lakers' offense, they didn't play too well, but they had a breath of air, and the players were in good shape.

The same ball, the Lakers can throw it, the Heat just can't shoot it, you don't make sense.

Spo called a timeout to adjust, and after three minutes in the second quarter, the score had not broken 20, how could this game be played.

The last game was obviously a good match, but this one is back.

However, the NBA arena is all about this and that, and it is difficult to explain the ups and downs of the players' feelings and states.

After the Heat came back from a timeout, they still didn't find an offensive touch, but Bosh caused a foul on O'Neal Jr. on offense and went to the free throw line.

The two had a brief time with the Raptors to form the Toronto Twin Towers.

It's a pity that O'Neill Jr. was no longer as brave as he used to be, and the two had to part ways.

At the free throw line, Bosh hit another one of two free throws, but he finally scored points.

And Li Liang played on the court with the second lineup, resolutely playing Gasol, but Gasol was not strong enough tonight.

Three shots under the basket missed.

Because Anderson has been playing for a longer time, the Heat directly used James to defend Gasol, and Anderson made up for it from behind.

James weighs more than Duncan, and with the Birdman's blocking interception, Gasol naturally has a lot more difficulty scoring goals.

Kerr then received a James pass on the counter and hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

At 27:22, the Heat slowly closed on the score.

Spo's adjustment in the timeout was clear, it was defense.

Spo realized that the last game that relied on Wade, James, and Bosh to break out and win the game could not always happen.

In the end, the Heat still have to use their good defense to suppress the Lakers.

The Lakers have not scored on four consecutive games, and they really need points.

"Damn, why can't you make it? I'm going to come again! ”

Li Liang scolded in his heart, Li Liang was making the ball for the inside line in four rounds, and he also grabbed a frontcourt rebound and passed it out.

As a result, after the outside line Micsimon scored one, he couldn't shoot again.

It is still up to Li Liang to take action personally.

still gave the ball to Gasol, but this time Li Liang cut in, and Gasol understood it and knew how to run tactics.

Feint to dribble inside, Li Liang has used O'Neal Jr.'s cover to go around to the left bottom corner, and Gasol makes a cross pass to the bottom corner.

Li Liang received the ball and made a three-point shot directly, and it went in!

The ball went straight to the heart of the Heat, gritted his teeth to prevent a few rounds, and was made three points.

Then the Lakers defended the foul, the two sides made substitutions, the Lakers' second team task was completed, Li Liang went to rest, and Koby Nash returned to the court.

The pace and confrontation of the game became more and more intense.

When the adjustment and tactics of the two sides began to gradually lose their effect, the coach forgot how to arrange it.

The players still fight on the pitch with instinct and awareness.

Every ball must be fought for, every ball must be grabbed.

Bosh misses a shot, and Ray Allen rushes in to grab a rebound and make a layup.

Nash misses a jumper, throws and grabs, fakes a pass after landing, and then hits a step-back jumper.

Wade blocked Howard's layup, and then Kobe Bryant stole James on defense, and the fast-break counterattack was pulled down by Chalmers.

Fouled, Bryant goes to the free throw line.

The competition of the game has entered the white heat, many tactics are not very good, and the individual ability and willpower of the players are starting to fight.

Kobe Bryant hit both free throws, and James tried to get to the basket to make a foul, but was interfered with by Howard and missed.

Kobe Bryant won the backcourt rebound, the Lakers counterattacked again, Kobe Bryant did not pass, and he began to press inside with his back from outside the three-point line.

Wade carried Kobe, Kobe pressed all the way to the three-second zone, turned a little inside, picked up Anderson, and then made a right-handed pick-up basket!

Under this kind of high-intensity confrontation, Kobe Bryant can still use this kind of technical action extremely skillfully, which is enough to see how many times he has been hard worked.

A lot of technical moves, when it comes to finals-level confrontations, can't be done without being deeply imprinted into muscle memory.

The odds are getting more and more favorable for the Lakers.

In the second quarter, the two sides tried their best to attack and defend, and the Lakers withstood the pressure, and in the case of several missed offenses, the defense did not let the Heat play too many counterattacks.

Then Bryant stepped up and used his personal ability to score consecutive goals and firmly suppressed the Heat.

At halftime, the Lakers were 50-42, leading the Heat by eight points.

8 points, in this finals, it is a big difference.

But when Li Liang left the field and returned to the locker room, he felt that the score difference was still too small.
