Chapter 111: Two Superstars Join Forces

As the game dragged on, it was out of the original plan of the two teams.

Both sides originally wanted to increase the tempo and play fastball, but as soon as the defensive intensity went up, the mistakes were frequent, and they couldn't score points, which turned into a low-scoring defensive battle.

More than half of the second quarter passed, and neither side scored more than 40 points.

Whenever the team's offense is tight, James will step up.

But instead of lunging, he dribbled past half court and turned his back to Ci Shiping.

He no longer showed off his crotch dribbling, but after Bosh came over to cover, he suddenly turned around and cut into the basket from the wing baseline!

Li Liang must have changed his defense this time, and he moved sideways to follow James.

But James' ball rushed up unhindered, and he could keep up.

James hit the basket and forced a layup, causing Li Liang's foul.

James' impact was amazing, and Li Liang felt like he was almost knocked off.

But he still stopped James with a vicious foul.

He decided to foul the ball the moment James activated it, and he knew he couldn't defend it.

Instead of pretending to defend and being beaten 2+1 as a result, it is better to make a clean mistake and let James go to the free throw line.

Li Liang didn't have a chance to recite the scriptures in this ball, and he didn't have time to open his mouth when he read it.

James hit both free throws, 35:39, and James has scored 13 points.

If he scores more than 15 points in the first half, the second half could be dangerous.

In the first quarter, he scored too many points with an easy ball, and it was difficult to control the points later.

But now is not the time to think about it, the Lakers haven't opened up on the offensive end.

Kobe Bryant's point is still a good year in the fragrance of rice flowers, and there is a sound of duang.

The Lakers continued to play the ball to Kobe, and Nash passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who asked for the ball with his back on the wing, and this time Kobe played Ray Allen.

The Heat took turns to play, Wade, Kerr, and Ray Allen, one after another to face Kobe.

The two were old rivals in the 10-year Finals, and Ray Allen's closeness made Kobe very uncomfortable.

And Kobe Bryant also had a head iron, and he wanted to shoot, a difficult turnover and back-to-back jumper.

As a result, the "Duang" hit the iron again.

This iron is a bit outrageous, throwing from the left side and smashing into the right hoop, indicating that the shot is not felt at all.

The ball bounced far away, and it was picked up by Li Liang again!

He was ambushed in the bottom right corner, but the ball flew over on his own, what can you do?

Li Liang took the ball with a feint, shook off Bosh and immediately went up.

As a result, the referee blew the whistle and blew for a defensive foul on Bosh.

Bosh was speechless and argued with the referee.

If you argue again, you won't look at who the referee is tonight, and then you will be punished.

Li Liang stood at the free throw line for the third time tonight, and his free throw luck was good today.

There is an element of the home whistle, but it is also to blame that the Heat backcourt rebounding protection is not good.

No way, this is probably their biggest weakness.

Li Liang stood on the free throw line and hit two free throws steadily.

At 35:41, the two teams finally scored more than 40, and there were 4 minutes left before the end of the first half.

Chalmers of the Heat re-entered the game and replaced Wade.

As soon as Chalmers came up, he played on his own, and rushed directly to the inside line with the help of cover.

Are you looking down on Li Liang, don't you take Li Liang in the center?

After the baptism of Duncan and Unselde's missions, Li Haohao can still pretend.

The most important thing is that Chalmers doesn't like to find a confrontation for this layup, he is obviously stronger than Kerr, but he wants to use his speed to avoid the inside line to go to the basket.

On the basketball court, the more you dodge your opponents, the more you can't dodge.

Li Liang stuck to Chalmers, reached out to interfere with his layup, and the ball was big.

Ci Shiping took the rebound, and the Lakers counterattacked...... Forget it, the Lakers' fast break can't be played.

Cishi calmed down and handed the ball to Nash, who completed a block with Li Liang in a very far away position.

A little closer to the three-point line, it will be difficult for the two to complete the pick-and-roll.

Nash used his vision to spot Jamison, who had a 45-degree chance on the right, and distributed the ball to Jamison.

Jamison catches the ball and makes a three-point shot, causing a defensive foul on Battier!

Battier lunged too far forward, knocking Jamison to the ground.

There was something wrong with the Heat's defensive mentality, and they were a little too hasty.

The back-to-back misses on the offensive end led them to want to get back on the defensive end as soon as possible.

As a result, he lost a frontcourt rebound, and this time he was fouled on a three-point attempt.

After watching the video, the referee thought that the ball had stepped on the line, and changed the award to a two-point foul and made two free throws.

Jamison hit one of two free throws to make it 35-42, and the Heat needed to score.

Spo made a substitution, replacing Battier with Joel Anthony to bolster his interior and protect the backcourt rebounds.

Li Liang can't be allowed to pick up rebounds anymore.

James still played unhurriedly and slowly, and the outside line continued to walk near the three-second zone with the help of cover, Ci Shiping followed James, and Li Liang decisively came over to wrap up and forced James to the bottom line.

But before James went out of bounds, he hit the ground and passed to Bosh on the outside, who received the ball and hit a mid-range jumper.

At 37:42, James' pass was as threatening as his offense.

In comparison, Kobe Bryant really fell into a lost position, in the next attack of the Lakers, he received the ball on the left side, broke through Ray Allen's corner jumper, and made a shooting posture in the air, he didn't even shoot, to pass?

Li Liang and Ci Shiping both turned around and were about to go in to grab the rebound, but Kobe Bryant made a plug and the ball smashed directly on his ass.

Li Liang still wondered, fuck, who stabbed my ass?

Play basketball well, don't play this kind of trick.

As a result, the ball has been taken by the Heat, James took the ball and rushed back to counterattack, and hit the basket to throw a basket!

At 39:42, the difference narrowed to 3 points.

Then, Kobe Bryant came out on the right side to catch the ball and threw a backward jumper, but he still missed.

James took the ball and rushed to the basket again, this time Li Liang gritted his teeth to catch up, and he didn't let James go to the basket.

James made another turnaround pass to Bosh, who hit a close-range jumper.

At 41:42, the Heat chased down by only one point.

This Heat is indeed strong, with James and Kobe, these two superstars join forces, and Nima can't stand it if anyone comes.

The Lakers couldn't stand it anyway, and Mike Brown called a timeout, with 2 minutes left before the end of the second quarter.

Back on the bench, Li Liang glanced at Kobe, but before he could speak, Kobe scolded himself first: "I hit like a piece of." “

"You're not as good as!" Li Liang added.

No one on the Lakers bench spoke, the two bigwigs talked, and the others interjected?

Howard sat on the side and felt a smile on his face, Kobe Bryant, you also have today, iron into a horse, shame, scolded.

Next to the Lakers bench, sitting was Mark Wahlberg (who filmed Transformers and Teddy Bears), and he covered his mouth and smiled when he heard the conversation between Kobe and Li Liang.

Although Kobe iron is a common thing, today it feels completely different.

First, the opponents are James and Wade, and everyone wants to see the two face off.

As a result, James is still too stable, and compared with the two, Kobe's performance is too spicy.

Kobe Bryant also said that he wanted to win the MVP, and James was definitely his biggest competitor.

If Kobe Bryant continues this kind of performance in the first half, he will definitely lose points in the MVP competition between the two.

The second is that Kobe Bryant is iron, but it is still very rare to be robbed continuously on the court, and he does not dare to shoot and make mistakes.

In the past, Kobe Bryant's failure to shoot may have been due to bad feeling, but today it feels like his strength is not good.

But it's normal to think about it, when I'm old, I broke out 30+ and 40+ in a row at the beginning of the season, and now I'm entering a period of fatigue, and it's normal for my state to fluctuate.

It's just that Kobe Bryant himself is not convinced, and the more he wants to play well, the more he can't play well.

Li Liang said: "Relax, don't hesitate. If you really want to shoot, you can shoot, and I'll try to grab the rebound anyway. ”

Kobe Bryant said: "You're right, I should defend well, I shouldn't hesitate." ”

For the first time, Kobe Bryant actually admitted that Li Liang was right, which is really a historic moment.

Mike Brown took advantage of the slope and said: "Then we started defensively, kept the rhythm down, and I got through the last two minutes to try to take the lead into the second half. ”

Li Liang said: "No, we have to attack, we have to hit the ball, and we have to bring up the rhythm." If we press the tempo, we will be overtaken by the Heat in the end, and we can't afford to drag it out. ”

Li Liang remembered the game between the Nuggets and the Spurs in the mission.

Now the Lakers are missing Howard, the lineup is incomplete, Gasol is not in good shape, the strength is not as healthy and complete, and the bench is a bunch of forwards.

The Lakers only led by 1 point, and for two minutes, they held on to this 1 point at a slow pace?

Just kidding, it's better to get two more points.

Brown pushed his glasses, what's the matter, how the hell is it going to hit?

Everyone looked at Kobe, and Kobe said, "Go on the offense and play our offensive state." ”

Brown immediately said, "yes, play our offense, we're going to increase the break, we're shooting too much." ”

What kind of coach are you, do you have any ideas of your own?

But that's what Brown is, he has a say in defense because he really has a set of defenses.

On the offensive end, the opinions of a few veterans are more important, just follow their wishes.

After the timeout, the Lakers served in the backcourt.

Nash dribbled across the half-court and suddenly an acceleration forced Chalmers.

Nash broke through, the Heat didn't dare to make up for it, the passing threat was too great, and it was better to defend alone.

As a result, Nash made a hard assault on Chalmers and scored a right-handed layup on the left side.

Veterans are still used at the top during important periods.

At 41:44, Nash's score stopped the bleeding for the Lakers.

As a result, Kobe Bryant defended well.

He strangled Chalmers directly and pushed him to the sideline, only to be blown by the referee for a foul on Bryant.

Kobe Bryant was extremely helpless, raising his hands and going crazy, what happened to Lao Tzu today?

Li Liang stepped forward to give Kobe Bryant a head and reason with Crawford.

"The foul is about to be a free throw, are you giving the Heat points? You're giving the Heat points! Whatever you blow, you know how many blows you are blind! "Li Liang, this is a theory, this is a scolding of Crawford.

Seeing that Crawford's expression was not good and he wanted to blow a technical foul, Li Liang used [Don Huggins' plasticine] to give Crawford a sticker.

Crawford picked at his face, feeling as if he didn't want to blow it anymore, so he gave up.

Damn, the hair dryer isn't very useful for this bald head, you have to use plasticine.

The use of plaster means that in the next game, Crawford at least will not be babbling to the players.

But he will still blow the foul that should be blown.

The foul to the number of free throws is made, just in time for an official timeout.

The TV station had no choice but to show a replay of the game, and then turned the camera on the celebrities on the sidelines.

In addition to Wolfber, who sat on the Lakers' bench, of course, there are old nail household Nicholson, boxer Mayweather, director Ron Howard of Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code, Andy Garcia who played Godfather 3 and so on.

It can be seen that this game has attracted many Hollywood celebrities.

At the end of the official timeout, Chalmers hit both free throws, 43:44, and the margin continued to close.

The Lakers' offensive focus has come to Nash, and they can't shoot Kobe Bryant anymore.

Nash continued to use the cover of two people to share the ball on the right side to Ci Shiping, who cut inside.

Ci Shiping received the ball and rushed to the basket, scored with a left-handed layup, and also caused a foul on Joel Anthony.

The free throw was also hit, 43:47, and the margin widened to four points.

Immediately afterwards, James broke through from the outside, Kobe Bryant defended tightly, and James chose to make a stop-and-go jump shot and missed.

James's shooting touch tonight was also very poor, with no mid-to-long range and no three-point shots.

Li Liang protects the backcourt rebound.

It's still the same tactic as just now, with double cover on the outside, Nash fully stirred up the Heat defense.

Then a wide range of transfer balls, to the left bottom corner, still Ci Shiping.

This time, Ci Shiping made a three-point shot and hit!

Ci Shiping scored three points!

At 43:50, the Lakers pulled the deficit back to 7 points.

You see, if you play the rhythm and defend according to what Mike Brown said, it is estimated that the difference is still 1 or 2 points.

Then both sides went on three consecutive rounds without scoring.

Wade missed the breakaway, Ci Shiping missed another three-point score, and Jamison missed two free throws.

The more and more chaotic the fight on the field, Li Liang's opportunity to fish in troubled waters came again.

In the last 30 seconds, the Heat made a mistake in the backcourt, and Li Liang took the ball with a steal.

He passed the ball to Kobe, who held the ball and walked in the middle, and the Heat had two people in the middle.

Kobe Bryant sewed a ball, and Li Liang caught the ball and made a light layup under the basket!

Score under the basket!

Li Liang scored 19 points, the same as the game against the Clippers, the shooting rate was extremely high, and he didn't lose a single one.

This is the benefit of stealing chickens and eating cakes, although Kobe Bryant is iron, he has attracted a lot of defense from the Heat, otherwise Li Liang would have such a good chance to score.

In the end, Wade broke through and made a foul on the free throw line and hit two free throws.

At the end of the first half, at 45:52, the Lakers went into halftime with a seven-point advantage.

James scored just two points in the second quarter, dished out three assists and scored 13 points at halftime.

Li Liang took another step towards his goal.

But in the second half, James will definitely not be so polite again.
