222: The Iron Hoof of the Big Three
24 hours ago, at this time was defending against David. That man in West, that Miami No. 6. Just from David. Stern took home the regular season MVP trophy, the pinnacle of his personal accolades, for the third time in his career.
But when it came time to win the award, James seemed very calm. This is the regular season MVP trophy, and it's just the regular season MVP trophy. To LeBron. For James, the regular season MVP is not his ultimate dream.
While reporters were waiting for James to deliver his acceptance speech, the man, who was as strong as an armored car, said this.
"I'd rather trade three MVP trophies for a championship ring."
And now, it is the moment for him to move towards his dream.
"David. West singled LeBron, which really looks like Dirk singled LeBron last season. "Kenny. As soon as Smith finished speaking, West's turnaround jumper was inaccurate under James' interference.
"But we have to admit, Kenny, not everybody can play the same Dirk from last season." Barkley then said.
The Pacers missed the first offense, and Henson really didn't expect Spoelstra to use James as a power forward when Bosh was healthy.
After blocking West, James excitedly picked up the defensive rebound himself, and then held the ball himself and pushed it quickly! Ha, it's a bit like last season's Pacers!
James pushed quickly, through the crowd, and straight to the basket! West immediately arrived for the delay, but James was carried away by his shoulder!
Subsequently, the Heat No. 6 rushed into the interior line as if carrying an explosives bag, and ended the round with a powerful and heavy slam dunk!
"LeBron, one-handed slam! A beautiful defense and a perfect quick offense, James looked very excited today! "Kenny. Smith's emotions have been ignited by James' violent dunk.
Henson shook his head, remembering Rose, who was just as excited after winning the MVP trophy last season. Speaking of which, if Rose hadn't won the MVP last season, maybe he wouldn't have exploded. If Rose doesn't explode too much, it may be the Pacers who reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season......
This year, he finally got rid of Thibodeau and Rose, and Henson bumped into James as the MVP again. Why are you so unlucky? Every time you meet the MVP team.
"Take your time and don't rush!" Henson immediately clapped his hands to stabilize the morale of the players first. Spoelstra is very cunning, and he knows that the Heat's positional battle can't wear down the Pacers' defense, so he simply plays one big and four small to cover up the disadvantages of the interior as much as possible, and also improve the speed of offensive and defensive transitions.
Filipinos, too, have something in their stomachs.
Paul stopped two steps from the three-point line and gestured to his teammates to attack. Since James guards the inside, he doesn't deliberately hit the inside.
George came out with ease, ready to answer Paul's pass.
This season, George and Paul have developed a great chemistry. As long as he runs off the ball to get to his preferred position, Paul's pass will never be half a beat slower.
This time was no exception, George had just come out of his pocket when he saw the basketball fly towards him. Without hesitation, this young No. 24 pulled up and cast! With this way of catching and shooting, George doesn't even know how many goals he has scored this season.
However, when George was about to make a move, his eyes suddenly went dark and he couldn't see the basket at all!
"What's going on!?" George made a bold shot, but the result was that the basketball was ridiculously biased, and he almost made a three-way shot!
Only then did George see it. The person who defended himself was no longer Wade, but Sean, who had switched defenses. Battier!
"Sean. Battier, nice defense! His blindfolding used to make Kobe very uncomfortable, and it seems that tonight he made another 24 lose his crosshairs! ”
The basketball stumbled out of the frame, and the Heat's offense was still fast! Spoelstra's big four is really a bit of a mimic of last season's Pacers. James is the equivalent of Granger last season, and of course, he is much stronger than Granger in every way.
Grab the rebound yourself and push quickly in person. If he doesn't retreat in time, James will crush the box with his tank-like body.
This time, Green was very quick to help West stop James. However, the Heat still moved quickly on the ball, and James made a quick "bullet assist" to help Wade score easily when he cut to the basket.
As soon as it opened, it didn't score for two consecutive rounds, and was counterattacked by the opponent, and the Heat completely controlled the initiative.
For the time since, the Heat have been firmly in control of the game.
During this time, Henson tried many methods. Including letting Anderson protect the basket, letting Leonard play the No. 4 position, etc., but the results were not ideal.
Leonard's current ability can't compete with James, who is full of firepower. And Anderson isn't the kind of pure meat shield center, which makes him less effective than expected in preventing James from attacking the frame. "Birdman" is very good at jumping, but he can't stand it!
On the Heat side, the Big Three are all in perfect shape. James is both offensive and defensive, and can also organize. Wade's cut made Henson distracted, and the worst thing was that Wade's shot was still open today. In other words, even if they get caught up in a positional war, the Heat can open up the situation.
Bosh is also steady, although the frequency of shots is not as high as the other two giants, but when he is needed, the "Dragon King" will not be soft.
In this way, the Heat finally won by 5 points under the terrifying data of James scoring 35 points, 12 assists and 5 rebounds!
"I think this is the first time the Pacers have lost at home in a playoff game this season, right?" Kenny. Smith watched the Heat players celebrating their victory at the Conseco arena with an unrestrained look at all of the Pacers' opponents from the Conseco arena so far this season. Only the Miami Heat can walk out of here with a smile!
"We have to admit that the Pacers did their best. Paul had 23 points and 13 assists, and George also scored 18 points under the tight defense of a group of experienced veterans. But the gap in personal ability cannot be bridged in one or two nights. Coach Henson's idea of using Leonard to contain James is good, but for a rookie...... Isn't that a bit too much of a task? ”
Barkley shook his head, Henson must have been very helpless at this time......
Henson was indeed very helpless, although the Pacers and the Heat were tied 2-2 in the regular season. But the Miami Heat and LeBron in the playoffs. James is completely different from the regular season. It's not just James, but Bosh, Wade and even Battier, their desire to win** is stronger than in the regular season!
In the regular season, the Heat seemed to have no desire. And in the playoffs, the Heat's desire for the championship undoubtedly made their combat effectiveness soar!
Originally, Henson wanted to use Leonard to play the No. 4 position, and use one big and four small to contain one big and four small. However, Leonard can prevent James from scoring for a few minutes in the regular season, but he can't do it in the playoffs! If you can't contain James' onslaught and force the Heat into positional battles, the defense won't be successful.
He was still too immature and not fully grown.
The big win in the first game boosted the morale of the Heat team. So James led his teammates to chase after the victory, and two days later he was still in India, and the Heat won 99-96 in a row, turning the series to 2-0!
This game was a typical "superstar" victory, and Wade broke out to win 4110 data! 4110, who would have thought that Wade, who is now with holes in his knees, would still be able to play such a performance in the playoffs!?
And James's 25 points and 7 rebounds were like adding fuel to the fire, completely igniting the Consec Arena. With Wade and James playing so "perverted", it is already very difficult for the Pacers to lose by only 3 points.
But no matter how small the point difference is, a loss is a loss. The Pacers are down 0-2 on aggregate, and Henson has suffered the biggest crisis since becoming head coach!
"Down 0-2, the Indians are finished!"
"That's the end of Coach Henson's sweet days!"
"The Miami Heat are one step closer to a championship!"
"LeBron. James will end the Eastern Conference Finals in Miami! ”
This time, even Henson couldn't be calmer anymore. Trailing 2-0 means that with just one more loss, the Pacers' season will be over for good! Although the Heat must win four games to advance, after all, no team in NBA history has ever been able to come back from 3-0 down. Even Henson didn't think he could pull off this miracle.
Losing two home games in a row, the Miami Heat were stronger in the playoffs than Henson expected.
Instead of going back to the locker room immediately after the game, Henson pondered for a while with a cigar in his mouth in his mouth.
When Henson pushed open the locker room door, he had already made a decision in his heart.
It's time to play his cards, he doesn't want to keep it anymore and he doesn't want to wait any longer!
