0923: [Did you go to the locker room for a day?]
Miami showed great hostility towards the Lakers' visit.
After all, the little duke has been a bitter host for the Heat for the past two years. The triumvirate's dream of championing has always been shattered by the Duke's iron and blood.
Now, Snoopy is out of the Chicago Bulls' ultra-luxury roster. Miami was desperate to kill the Duke. The Miami Tribune even openly branded the slogan 'A King is Always a King'.
He didn't intend to save character for LeBron, and he seemed to forget the fact that the duke had repeatedly slaughtered the king.
This season, although Miami has not brought in many reinforcements in the paint area, they have only brought in O'Neal Jr., who is about to retire. However, they have added two more Tigers on the flank, with Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis as the most sought-after three-point shooters in the market.
Although, the opening game was lost to the Spurs. But the Miami native's desire is directly locked in for the championship.
For the Big Three, who have been in the army for three years, if they don't win the championship, it will become a joke completely. The pressure of the summit huddle hung over them like a nightmare.
Even the Heat's most die-hard fans can't afford to give them the patience to keep waiting.
"Of course we're here to win."
At the airport, Dugg replied earnestly to the Miami reporter: "And I really don't think our second camp is so bad. We've got the experience, we've got the impact, we've got the talent we haven't realised, so maybe our second squad will blow up tonight? We had a similar experience in New York. ”
After the Duke had conveyed this serious conversation.
Miami turned out to be in a very impetuous mood, and they saw Dugg's comparison of Miami to New York as a humiliation.
For this emotion.
Dugg can only say that the Miami is a bit floating. It is a well-established fact that there are no weak teams in the NBA, and New York's interior line is not weak, and there are All-Star power forwards in charge, and they are proud of it for no reason.
Could it be that I was beaten too badly in the first two years, and my emotions were suppressed to the point of inexplicable sensitivity.
The basketball community takes this game very seriously.
Because such a matchup not only continues the 23VS24 that was hyped by the media four years ago, but also the first person in the league, another duel between the king and the duke.
ESPN went out of its way to interview LeBron James before the live broadcast began.
As a childish idol praised by the league, James can't be as impetuous as the fans and the media, saying those things that don't know what to say. He just stressed that he would treat this game as if it were the final, and he believed that Kobe Bryant and Snubidu would do the same.
It's a very beautiful scene.
It shows his personal accomplishment as the former NBA's No. 1 sign.
At the same time, it also makes the fans look forward to this game.
As he said, every fan believes that in a game like this, the leaders of both sides will give their best, even to the point of 120 percent.
That's what makes the NBA so appealing.
The game officially kicked off at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The two sides showed a super confrontation from the start, and as James said, it was really like a Finals game.
With Whiteside's victory over Chris Bosh on the jump ball, Snoopy burst into the Heat box with the ball and was about to dunk when LeBron James came out diagonally and hugged Dugg with a blank face to finish his groundbreaking jump.
Then Dugg walked to the free throw line.
Swish! Swish!
Although two free throws and two hits made a good start for the team, but... The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides was instantly displayed.
Looking back, the Lakers still didn't let James go.
When the Flash shook off Kobe Bryant with a change of direction, Snoopy subconsciously stepped forward to make up for it, and he quickly hit the ball to the ground and passed it to James.
James scrambled into the box, and as he jumped, Whiteside pushed him off the air with the ball.
If Snoopydu is the one defending the ball, the referee under the basket may blow a scrum.
But Whiteside was just a little-known fringe player after all, and the referee blew a foul directly.
This is a penalty scale that is too normal to be normal.
So, the Lakers didn't complain either.
However, the ball showed off Whiteside's ability to protect the rim. Seven feet tall and with an arm span of seven feet six, he spread his body and bounced, which was simply a big net covering the sky and the sun.
"Well done, man. Keep going like this, you're going to be the top defensive center in the NBA, and trust me, you have that talent, you can do it if you want to! ”
Dugg stared at Whiteside very seriously as James stepped to the free-throw line and gave sincere compliments.
He has a very different leadership style from the Black Mamba, he always inspires his teammates and keeps them motivated.
The Black Mamba likes to spur, and he likes to motivate his players by rubbing salt on his wounds.
It's similar to Michael Jordan. When Michael Jordan was much luckier than Kobe Bryant, most of his teammates were mentally tenacious, while Black Mamba was mostly Bynum, Kwame Brown, and Sima Parker.
So, how can you spur it up?
Bang!
And when James missed the second free throw, Whiteside immediately shook off Joe Anthony behind him.
He's really talented, he's always been very good at where to land on rebounds, but he hasn't been able to capture that inspiration very well.
This time, though, he was very excited.
After he picked up the rebound. He even let out a roar and passed the ball to the Duke.
The Duke encouraged him: "You can completely dominate the Heat penalty area by defense, they are useless at all!" ”
Dugg said this in front of JoAnthony and Chris Bosh, and he had no scruples.
Nor was he worried about provoking them.
Because, that's what it is!
The Heat's interior weakness is the experience Snoopy has played for two years in a row. Do Joe Anthony and Chris Bosh dare to contradict it?
In a sense, Dugg thinks the Heat's interior line of this intensity is just enough for Whiteside to level up. Perhaps, after he has passed this level, his potential has been developed, and he will enter another level in the future?
That's why, after so many games, Dugg has insisted that the coaching staff include Whiteside in the starting lineup.
He hopes Whiteside can get chemistry with his main players. Of course, on the other hand, it is also to give Milicic time. He hoped that Milicic would be able to clear all the fat and fatigue from his body during this time. Regain the uninhibited posture of following Snoopy in New York.
In Duger's consideration, these two centers only need to train one. The shortcomings of the inner line will automatically disappear, and once both are practiced, then... Even against Spurs, they won't suffer. After all, the Duke can also sneak into the paint area.
……
Maybe it's because the defensive intensity of both sides is too high, or maybe it's because both sides want to win too much, so the pressure is huge.
Anyway, since LeBron James missed two free throws, both main players have entered the iron link.
James finished Wade Iron, Wade Iron finished Kobe Iron, Kobe Iron finished Snoopy Iron. Snoopy is finished, Stephen Nash is embarrassed not to be iron!
Whether it was the fans at the scene or the fans in front of the TV, they were dumbfounded.
They originally came with the intention of watching a wonderful show, but what they saw was a picturesque iron performance on both sides.
"Who would have imagined that the first advertising pause came, and the two sides actually walked into the bench with a score of 7:5?"
McBrin sighed in the live broadcast room.
"We all know it was an accident, but it was also a surprise. The three giants of both sides fell into iron striking mode at the same time, the probability is too low, right? Reggie Miller also smiled and shook his head.
However, Dugg was very happy with the situation.
Of course, his satisfaction was not because the team was two points ahead, but because Whiteside had been fully trained during the four-and-a-half-minute period. Although he only got 4 rebounds. But... What is evident is that he has the upper hand in the rotation defense against either Joe Anthony or Chris Posh.
If there are more matches like this, it will be a very valuable training opportunity for Whiteside.
Backbite!
When the whistle blew, both sides showed an amazing tacit understanding.
They all came in with shooters and point guards.
The Heat replaced Mario Chammos for Boston's champion shooter Ray Allen.
The Lakers, on the other hand, replaced the poor hand and... Veteran point guard Stephen Nash, whose playing time is tightly controlled. They were replaced by Kyle Korver.
With the two goalscorers on the pitch, the style of the game immediately took on a very different direction.
Because there are flanks to open up the defense, the Flash and James have increased the style of play that hits the inside. And this moment made the defensive pressure on Whiteside and Carlos Boozer increase sharply.
Whiteside has shown good momentum before, but two of the NBA's top five superstars are on the offensive and it's hard not to be affected.
Wade and James have won back-to-back.
And the Lakers, on their side, are not far behind.
Kobe Bryant opened up the triangle offense without hesitation, he singled Wade on the strong side, and Snoopy increased his roaming on the weak side and at the top of the arc.
With Kobe Bryant scoring with a beautiful step-back jumper, and then the Dukes turned into a forward, making jumpers, passing, and organizing everything on the weak side, the Lakers bit the score and continued to pull away.
"I have to admit that the duo of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade is the best at assaulting in the league. However, the combination of Snoopy and Kobe Bryant is the most comprehensive and gorgeous offensive combination in the league. McBrin said.
"After so many years of playing in the professional league, the Black Mamba has finally met an amazing outside partner. Although there are some regrettable things are that at this time he has slipped from his peak. But he still gave a slap in the face to many people who questioned him, as long as he was given a good enough outside helper, he could also be selfless and trusting. Reggie Miller said.
But as soon as he finished saying this, Bill Wharton next to him shot a gun: "That's because this person's name is Snoopy." If you change to someone else, even if it's Tracy Maddie back then, do you think Kobe Bryant will be so selfless and trusting? ”
Forehead....
There's really no way to refute this, after all, the whole world is making fun of these two people. The entire basketball community is ridiculing the Lakers' outside trio.
The first half of the game between the two sides passed quickly.
Although Snoopy led the second team for more than four minutes in the second quarter. But overall, it still maintains the main theme of King Flash vs. Duke Black Mamba.
The two sides are not evenly matched.
When it was iron, all four were iron.
When it is smooth, all four of them are smooth.
So, in the end, the score of the first half was very harmonious.
56:56。
No one could help anyone.
However, you can't help but admit that the Lakers' overall momentum is going up.
And the Heat's anxiety is written on their faces.
Because the pre-match prediction was a one-sided victory, but now... But it's hard to separate.
Although everyone, including the commentators, felt that the Black Mamba, who had played almost the entire first half, would definitely be physically debilitated in the fourth quarter, and the 33-year-old could not have played the whole game like a young lad.
But what if?
Everyone knows that the Lakers, these two monsters, are the strongest in the NBA.
How many times has Kobe Bryant been injured and played? Even now, he still has injuries on his fingers. But he... Have you ever backed down half a step?
So, Miami doesn't dare to have a trace of superfluous optimism now.
They were very serious in their locker room, so serious that Pat Riley walked in and said some chicken soup for the soul.
……
In contrast, the visitors' dressing room was filled with laughter.
The Duke deliberately performed Whiteside's action of blocking James, and he had the bearded Davis play James: they were all quite similar in size anyway.
And when Dugg pulled his beard down from the air, the locker room burst into laughter and heartfelt applause.
Indeed, it was a beautiful and near-perfect defense at Whiteside.
And this kind of activity also gave Whiteside a lot of joy and confidence.
There is no one who doesn't like such vivid praise, especially simple-minded blacks.
The Black Mamba had been sitting indifferently beside him, and he felt... I need to teach Snoopy something: how can you do such a pompous move in front of a role player? To be the boss of the team is to have the majesty of the boss of the team, and to have the posture of a leader.
However, it is clear that even if Bryant had said so to Dugg, he would not have accepted such a suggestion.
He likes the atmosphere that the Lakers have right now. The old players don't have a proper shape, and the new players don't have psychological baggage, so everyone is happy to play, isn't it? Why do you have to make it like a lion in a cage, aggression is something that only makes sense when the fist is outside?
……
The second half of the game started quickly.
The Lakers are still giggling, while the Heat have changed to a more serious face, and everyone is like a Spartan Warrior, full of an inexplicable sense of ritual.
Yards, is this a day to go to the locker room?
