Chapter 288: Each is different

"The shouting decibels in the American Airlines arena are close to what a Boeing airliner can make! Miami fans are as fanatical as pilgrims to the Holy Land! I think this kind of power can compete with those Mormons in Salt Lake City!! Clyde on the live broadcast. Drexler sighed with emotion, and the powerful momentum of the Heat's home court was annihilated by the scorching white waves, and he couldn't help but throw himself into it.

"It's normal, Clyde, it's a do-or-die game for the Miamins...... If it loses, it means that the Heat are officially eliminated. "Bill. Wharton shook his head and looked at the rivalry in full swing in the field, "At this point, no one wants to be a loser willingly." What's more, LBJ leads a team that Miami wants to beat no matter what, and use it to prove their opponents. ”

"Even by any measure, there is a clear gap between these two teams in terms of roster strength...... Drexler's index finger poked at his sideburns, "Seriously, I think the Miamians have proven themselves. can win two games in a row from 0:2 down, and it is in the situation of the two main players in the team who are injured, which has already impressed the whole league with them. Think about how many people thought the Heat would be able to defend the Cavaliers to Game 6 at the end of Game 1 of the series? There were even many people who thought that they would lose worse than the youth army in Boston. ”

"I think it fits our definition of human beings – always wanting more, both positively and negatively. As I said before, we've come this far, who would be willing to stop their steps? "Bill. The corners of Wharton's mouth curled upward, and he was pleased to see the Heat's tenacious performance. From beginning to end, this old man has supported Addison's team, and the process of leading the team to win the championship through injury is also destined for him to hope that Addison can fight until the last moment, even if he loses, he will lose like a hero.

At this time, the Heat point guard on the court did not show a single sign of an ankle sprain, and he used the cover to flash into the Cavaliers' three-point line amid the noise of supporters across the court, and quickly changed direction to move to the left of the free throw line to attract the opponent's high post defense. In the movement of the ball, Addison suddenly threw the basketball with his left hand and flickered towards the basket position. James didn't have time to reach out and watch the basketball leap away......

"Boom !!" Whiteside's divine soldier descended from the sky and stretched his body like a black dragon to complete this empty catch! In front of him was Tristan, who wanted to block but was unable to do so. Thompson, the Cavaliers, who have a gap in height and arm span, withdrew from the basket with an embarrassed face, but he couldn't avoid the doom of being caught by the live camera!

"Hmm!! Look at Whiteside's brutal dive-bombing expression, and allow me to observe a moment of silence for the Cavaliers' basket! Tristan is a good interior player, but his ability to protect the basket needs to be improved......" Drexler smacked his lips with a wonderful look on his face. Blatter must have missed Mozgov when he was guarding the basket, but the Russian is now sitting on the bench in a daze because of foul trouble. This is similar to the situation of the Miamins in the last game, except that the pros and cons have been completely reversed. ”

"Come on, Clyde, it's been years since you played in the league and sat in the commentary box, so don't tell you you're not familiar with the business league process...... It would be strange to me if the referees didn't let Mozgov enjoy the 'foul service' he received in the last Whiteside game today. However, the Heat's tactics today are also very clear, they just want to keep Mozgov's playing time as short as possible. Deng, including Whiteside and others, made a decisive attack on the basket for this purpose. "Bill. Wharton smiled a little slyly, alternating his two thumbs back and forth.

David standing on the sidelines. Blatter was indeed upset, although Tristan. Thompson's lineup at the top of the center has greatly improved, but it is really a lot worse when it comes to protecting the basket. In the first half, Addison led the Heat players to continuously attack the basket in an almost violent manner, and Blatter broke out in a cold sweat. He knew too well what the purpose of these Miamians was to defend themselves in the restricted area and the referee's performance tonight confirmed his suspicions - Mozgov was saddled with three fouls in the first quarter, and the Russian was on the court less than two minutes into the second quarter when Addison, who rushed into the paint, took advantage of the difference in time to make a foul...... Blatter had to replace Mozgov, who was on the back of four fouls, in order to allow him to come on the court to protect the penalty area at the last critical moment, and the helpless appearance of the gray face made the Heat fans in the court burst into laughter.

The game went to the last 5 minutes of the third quarter, but the score on the court was 60:58 in such a barren and anxious situation. The two teams that returned to the American Airlines Arena seemed to have switched their playing styles in unison, from the last scoring battle where you went back and forth to the fierce fight full of bayonets and confrontations in the G4 battle. Especially Carey. Irving seems to have lost the frightening touch of his last game, hitting just four of his 11 shots in the third quarter tonight under Addison's marking, and barely getting a few free throws from the Heat's defenders. The data of 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists can't match his identity as the only core, plus there is no steal data, but he was forced to make two mistakes by Addison.

"You're not afraid that you'll run out of energy when you hit the last quarter?" Irving, who dribbled to the opponent's half, encountered Addison's full-court defense, and he complained half-teasing and half-helplessly, "If there is another shot like the last game, how deep do you think you will be stepped on by that group of media?" ”

"I know enough about my physical condition, so I'd better worry about your basketball in your hand...... Do you want to experience the feeling of making a mistake and getting on a double today? I'm here to help. The Heat point guard responded to the opponent disapprovingly, but he did not relax at all on his feet, and kept giving Irving frequent interference and confrontation. With such a leading defense, it took Irving nearly seven seconds to get past halftime.

"Ball !!" LeBron. James immediately answered and asked his teammates for the ball, and at this time he had to take possession, not only to help Irving reduce the pressure on defense, but also to control the situation in the safest way. The high-intensity defensive confrontation in this game gave James a very bad feeling, and with the home team still two points behind, he didn't want to waste any offensive rounds.

"Keep an eye on it! Eyeing !! Don't give him room to play!! Spoelstra pulled the button off the front of his suit, left behind his previous handsome style, and commanded loudly on the sidelines with a stern expression, "I can't see your defensive energy!" Rotate up!! Cut off all of their routes!! ”

Ruhr. Deng rigidly stopped in front of James, his right hand reaching out to interfere with his opponent's vision. In this game, the Heat executed the strategy of blocking LBJ's playmaking line well, and although James has contributed 6 assists, he also has a whopping 5 turnovers, all of which appear in the playmaking ball. The stats of 21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block look glamorous, but underneath this is a very high assist-to-turnover ratio and a shooting efficiency of less than 5% on 8-of-17 shooting. A large part of the Miamins' ability to play defensive battles at their own pace at the American Airlines arena is due in large part to their excellent execution of James' targeted defense. Just like in G4, they isolate LBJ from other role players on the offensive end, and even if James is aggressive, it won't allow him to string up the team's offense.

After catching a glimpse of the Heat players running in turns again to cut off the passing space between himself and his teammates, James couldn't help but feel a sense of anger rising from the bottom of his heart. Not only annoyed by the opponent's targeted tactics, but also helpless by the poor and shallow running awareness of their teammates, in the face of such a defensive system, they actually did not know how to strengthen their empty-handed running, but continued to stand in place and wait for the ball...... They're all so used to watching James solve problems with great prowess, or deliver the ball to them for the final blow, that their first reaction is less flexible to the game.

“Damn it! Fool match!!! LBJ couldn't help but grumble under his breath and instructed Tristan. Thompson brought up for cover and mustered up his strength to charge inside the three-point line.

***

"Oh ......" Dwyan, sitting in the first row of the audience. Wade watched James get into the box and take the ball in a circle, and after two big steps, he took Whiteside and Ruhr. Deng's defense forced the ball to the basket, and he muttered, "...... Admit it, LeBron, you're up against a bunch of opponents who are no less determined than you. They're all burdened with the glory of this place, and it's not so easy to deal with. ”

The forced basketball failed to hit the basket and ejected from the other side, and was knocked down by Tristan. Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound. Thompson, who thought he had found a hard-won scoring opportunity, immediately jumped again, wanting to vent his previous grievances with a second offensive dunk. However, he did underestimate Whiteside's ability and determination to protect the basket, and the Heat center turned around as quickly as a swingman outside the box, jumping up after his opponent and viciously pressing Thompson's basketball onto the rebound with better bounce and longer arm span!!

There was another round of cheers and applause in the American Airlines arena, and nothing got the adrenaline pumping of supporters more than a violent block, and this act of saying "no" directly to the attacking enemy was the best expression of the player's resolute heart! The covered basketball pops out of the basket, and Ennis rushes to grab it, and then immediately hands it to Addison!

"Back to the defense! Back to !! Run for me!! James roared as he pulled back to his own half as fast as he could, and he was now yelling every round to motivate his teammates. In the entire American Airlines arena, in addition to the hustle and bustle of the spectators, the loudest may be the shouting that LBJ has never stopped.

"Maybe shouting and directing are also essential things for players to grow, and a big gap between Eddie and LBJ is that he still hasn't filled his voice for the whole game...... "Gary. Payton subconsciously turned his head sideways and whispered, but when he found himself talking to Wade, the current leader of the Heat, he couldn't help but suppress the conversation with a little embarrassment.

However, Wade did not show any dissatisfaction or suspicion, but said with a smile: "Different people have different people's own practices, and I am not a person who is very accustomed to using roars to lead the team on the court since I entered the league...... LeBron may have been born to be a good fit for that, and he's a manifestative leader; Eddie is very different, he has his own way of getting his teammates to work...... Honestly, that's what I appreciate about him as well. ”
