James gliding fly buckle and David. West's empty layup ignited the atmosphere of the game directly. The battle between the two sides was very fierce from the beginning, and it was clear that the Heat really wanted to drag the Pacers down. And the Pacers will not relax when they play the Heat.

Therefore, the violent dunk and empty catch at the beginning are just the beginning of the strong confrontation between the two teams.

After 2-2, the Pacers undoubtedly put their defensive focus on James. Everyone knows that if James is turned on the offensive end, then this game is no different from giving up. James is the kind of player you know you can't prevent, but you have to do everything you can to contain it.

Last season's Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers have proven that they have to contain LeBron. James' abilities. But Mike. Brin's words gave Pacers fans a wake-up call: "Last season's Eastern Conference Finals, Chris. Bosh only played two. I certainly didn't question the strength of the Pacers, but I think that if Bosh had stayed healthy in that series, maybe history could have changed. ”

This time offensively, Chalmers handed over the ball as soon as he passed half-time. Playing next to the Big Three, no one else wants to have the ball.

As soon as James was in place with the ball at the top of the arc, Bosh's block was immediately raised. The Heat's tactics aren't complicated, it's a basic pick-and-roll tactic!

For the Heat, however, such a simple tactic was enough. When a coach can have three superstars at the same time, James, Wade and Bosh, he doesn't have to worry about offensive tactics at all. Because all three of them have the ability to break down the opponent's defense alone.

As soon as Bosh got into his stance, James was "catapulted" like a slingshot. His breakthrough was very rapid, but it was mainly reflected in a "fierce".

Green was temporarily delayed by Bosh, and Horford had to make up the defense and block James' breakaway route. Someone to guard the interior at all times was how the Pacers were able to contain James last season.

But this method may not be easy to use now.

James looked up while marching and saw the "old good-looking" Horford squatting under the basket, and immediately chose to pass! The object of his pass is none other than Bosh, who has just mentioned that he has set up a cover in the high post!

Bosh's shooting ability is unquestionable, and the range of the "Dragon King" can even extend beyond the three-point line. With such an inside line that can open up space, James doesn't have to be stunned to pounce on the overcrowded inside line.

After receiving a pass from James, Bosh made a jump shot! Like most No. 4s, Bosh's shot is very high, and thanks to Horford's interior defense and Green's pursuit of James, Bosh is almost unmarked.

When Green, who is less than 2 meters tall, rushed back and wanted to interfere with Bosh's shot, Bosh's shot height was already beyond his reach.

In this way, Bosh hit a long two-point shot from the distance between the three-point line and the free throw line, and James came up with a goal and an assist, and his all-round type of stats was really reflected in the game.

"Spoelstra has worked hard." Henson turned his head to look at the Filipino coach on the other side of the court, and finally, the Heat finally had some other tactics besides James's singles.

After that, Henson found that the Heat were well-prepared not only offensively, but also defensively.

The reason why the Pacers were able to play the first offense was more because Paul's pass was unexpected, so that the Heat's defense did not react. But on the basketball court, there are so many surprises. This kind of strong dialogue is to see which of the two teams can still score the ball even when the other team predicts their next move!

After all, there are almost no secrets between the Heat and the Pacers. How the two coaches will arrange the strategy and how they will lay out, as early as last season's Eastern Conference Finals, they have already figured out the bottom line.

This time, George's inside cut was blocked by Wade many times, and Paul would be delayed by the opponent's inside line as soon as he wanted to cover. The Heat's tacit understanding on the defensive end was surprisingly high, and it looks like the Heat are in better shape now than they were in last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

Under the excellent defense of the Heat, George's pull-up jumper was interfered with by Wade and lost his head. Spoelstra threw punches hard and he finally contained the Pacers' offense!

"The Heat's defense is very tight, and the Pacers don't have room to shoot at all. So far this season, the Heat have run in quite well, and they have a complete lineup. I think the Pacers' winning streak is starting to get sluggish. ”

This time, James personally grabbed the rebound and advanced the ball himself. The ability to control the court, Henson believes that this is the biggest difference between the current James and the previous James.

In the past, James was just a tank capable of crushing the corpses of the enemy, but now, he is more of a "command vehicle". Not only can he rampage on his own, but he can also command his teammates to strike with precision.

Watching James carry the ball through the half, Henson couldn't help but clap his hands to remind his players to focus. Danny. Green was inside the three-point line with his arms outstretched and didn't make a save.

That's the league-wide key to defending James – let go of the shot, don't let it go.

Seeing this, James suddenly stopped at a position one step outside the three-point line, and then jumped to shoot!

"Shoot directly, LeBron didn't waste the space the Pacers gave him!" Not to mention Henson, even Mike. Brin was surprised by James' shot selection!

Green was caught off guard and pounced, but the distance was too far, and it was still a beat too late. And this long-range shot from outside the three-point line was unexpectedly accurate, and it went straight into the net!

The ball went in, the Nets rolled, and the Heat bench was buzzing. James made a pistol shape with both hands, and then pulled the "double gun" back into his waist with force! LeBron. James not only has the determination to win, but also the strength to match the determination!

LeBron is undoubtedly reminding Coach Henson: Don't give me so much space! Indeed, this season LeBron. James' three-point shooting rate has improved by leaps and bounds, and so far it is as high as 40%! There's no reason to let a player shoot 40 percent from three-point range to the ground. ”

40%, for James, his three-point shooting percentage this season is indeed too high. For comparison, in last season's playoffs, James shot just 25 percent from three-point range.

Although James only averages three three-pointers per game, you can't guarantee that if he gets hot, he will not increase the number of shots he takes from beyond the three-point line.

7-2, Miami Heat played a very imposing start. Just when everyone thought that the Pacers were going to start their Jedi counterattack, "The Flash" Wade destroyed all the beautiful fantasies of the Pacers fans with a steal and a two-handed dunk on the counterattack!

"Dwayne. Wade, it turns out that a healthy Wade is still a very terrifying existence! From steals to counter-attacks, Wade scored in one go! In the last game between the two sides, the Pacers easily won the game due to Wade's absence. I believe that today, 'The Flash' will not let such a thing happen again. ”

Seeing Wade finish the dunk, Henson sighed. George's dribbling has improved a lot, but his dribbling center of gravity is still slightly higher than most defenders. And an old fritter like Wade, you can't show any flaws in front of him! If there is a flaw, the counterattack just now is the result.

The Heat's defense and the Big Three's vibrancy on the offensive end made Henson feel for the first time that this Miami team was so difficult to beat.

Fortunately, after the game entered the rotation time, Stephenson and Ray . Allen's excellent performance allowed the Pacers to play a wave of 9-0 offensive ** in one go, which stabilized the situation slightly.

I have to admit that the Heat's bench lineup this season is still not enough. Of course, all of this is also thanks to Henson. If it weren't for his "cross-knife snatching love" last summer, he grabbed it at Pat. Riley got Ray before. Allen, the Heat's bench isn't so shabby.

If the game continues like this, the Pacers could still take the lead before the end of the first quarter. But it's clear that Spoelstra didn't intend to give the Pacers any chance today!

Three minutes before the end of the first quarter, after a dead ball, people were surprised to find that James and Wade were actually on the court again!

"Increasing the playing time of LeBron and Wade, that's the only thing Coach Spoelstra can do right now!"

It seems that James and Wade are going to play 40 minutes today.

Back on the court after a short break, James and Wade were very active. Wade returned the favor with a three-pointer, and then James' breakaway dunk made the cheers in the bankers living arena drop a lot.

With James and Wade stopping the bleeding in time, the Heat not only ended the Pacers' momentum, but also reversed the situation.

25-23, at the end of the first quarter, the Miami Heat led by 2 points! And James's 9 points in a single quarter is undoubtedly the most dazzling.

"What a monster...... Henson watched James easily push off Yi Jianlian and complete the offense with a dunk on the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even in the NBA league full of macho men, James is an out-and-out monster.

It seems that today, with both Persia and Wade in excellent form, it is not easy to contain James with interior defense.

"Wait? Inside defense" Henson muttered, as if thinking of something.

The sample is not enough, so we have to use the time of the second quarter of the game to try again.
