Miami used to be known as "God's Waiting Room."

With its warm climate and beautiful scenery, it is a favorite place for swimmers and vacationers.

Anyone who comes here will experience life in Miami and then most of them will linger.

However, for the Lakers team, they came to Miami for the third time in just a dozen days, and no one was in the mood to play.

Everyone's mood is very serious, and the pressure comes from the upcoming game.

The tie-breaker in the finals is difficult to treat calmly.

As the richest and cleanest city in the United States, Miami is the enemy, and all the local residents don the jersey of the Heat to cheer for the home team.

Miami is accustomed to winning the title in the previous two years, and this year, they still want a third title.

And the emergence of the tie-break can undoubtedly give this championship a more legendary color.

In the streets of the city, covered with posters and promotional images of James and Kobe Bryant, this is the biggest focus of the series, and the battle between Janko is indeed indescribably exciting.

At this time, the two sides entered the seventh game, so the duel between the stars was undoubtedly intense.

There is no doubt that in the final race, Janko will definitely give his all and work hard for the championship.

It can be said that the tie-break is definitely the most heroic game.

Expectation permeates everyone's psychology, time passes slowly, the heartbeat slowly accelerates, and the final battle is getting closer and closer.

At the American Airlines Center in Miami, the Lakers are preparing for their last game before the game.

The players on the field are divided into red and white teams and compete in groups.

Chu Xuan, as the head coach, sat on the side without saying a word, watching the running and cooperation between the players.

"Chu, how's it going? Do you have an idea? ”

Phil Webb's eyebrows were a little anxious, and the loss on the court was still bothering him.

After losing the sixth battle, they were completely on the back foot.

As the outside media said, the Lakers lost the best chance to win the championship.

The current situation is that the Heat not only have home-court advantage, but they also have high morale.

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, the players' self-confidence was somewhat hit because of two consecutive losses.

"Well, there's a way. I think the inside line is still the breakthrough for us to win against the Heat. Norris/Paul/Hassan/Draymond/Robert, that's what we rely on. We're going to have to play a game that we've never done before, and we're going to use rebounding as the first point of guarantee. ”

Chu Xuan said slowly, his decision was very simple, didn't the Heat want to guarantee rebounding? The Lakers didn't let them get their wish.

"Relying only on the protection of rebounds? Is that okay? Webb asked.

Chu Xuan nodded: "The offensive center of the Heat's small-ball tactics lies in the team's outside shooting, and James's containment and breakthrough are the key to their tactical execution. We focus on the inside, the main defense on the outside, and it is enough to prevent the Heat from shooting three-pointers. After all, when Noll and Hassan are both on the court, it is completely difficult for LeBron James to break through. ”

"As long as their offense is blocked, and the rebounds are not protected, then our hopes of winning are completely high. Of course, there is also a very crucial point, and that is the defense against LeBron James. ”

Webber nodded: "In the last game, if we could have stopped LeBron, we should have been celebrating the championship by now." ”

Speaking of which, in the sixth game of the series, the Lakers did everything very well, but helplessly, James ushered in a big outburst, and the offensive style was extremely smooth, relying on a brutal performance of 42 points, which made the Lakers hate to lose.

That's the scariest side of James, who, judging from the playoffs over the past few years, is a player who can change the game on his own.

Obviously, if the Lakers can do a good job of what Chu Xuan said, it is also extremely important for James' defense.

"I still trust Draymond, and I'll talk to him later." Chu Xuan said lightly.

"Chu, do you need to be replaced? I think using Giannis to defend LeBron might have an unexpected effect. Webb expressed his opinion.

"Giannis? No, at least at this stage, he is not up to the job of defending LeBron. He's too skinny, and he's not as tough as Draymond, and Draymond has been studying LeBron for a long time, and he has the experience to do better. And if Giannis is used, it's all gambling. At this point in the series, we can't afford to take any more big risks. ”

After all, this is the seventh battle, and if Chu Xuan loses the risk, then the price of his comeback will be a championship trophy.

Obviously, he wouldn't do it, and he couldn't do it.

……

"Steve is injured."

Chu Xuan, who was chatting with Weber, suddenly tightened his heart when he heard this.

Nash was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, surrounded by a group of Lakers members.

"What's wrong? Steve, what's wrong with you? Something went wrong. Chu Xuan ran to Nash's side in three or two steps: "Go and call Old Gary." ”

Hearing Chu Xuan's shout, Noel ran out quickly.

"Chu, I'm fine, I can still persevere." Nash struggled to his feet, and he said to the players around him, "Keep training, everybody. ”

The players around looked at each other, but no one left, and everyone looked at Nash with concern.

That's the best thing about the Lakers on the inside, united and caring.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly, suddenly a little irritable in his heart, he could understand Nash's reaction, after all, this veteran was really hungry for a championship ring.

"Steve, the situation is unknown now, I'll talk about it when Gary comes."

Chu Xuan motioned for Nash to sit down first, not letting him reluctantly move.

A few minutes later, the team doctor, Gary Vede, arrived at the scene and examined Nash.

"Steve's body is so tired that his knee needs to rest, otherwise he is likely to be in danger of injury." Gary Vedi made the result.

Chu Xuan listened to it and knew it in his heart. Nash is 40 years old after all, and his physical condition has not been optimistic. And this season, the Lakers played until the Finals, and there were too many games and too much intensity. Although Chu Xuan has been paying attention to the control of Nash's playing time, for the 40-year-old veteran, after a year, just daily training will completely make him overtired.

"In that case, let's rest." Chu Xuan made a decision after deliberation.

However, before the words fell, Nash objected: "Chu, I can't rest." It's the last race of the season and it's about dreams. If I can't be a part of it, then I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life. And, most likely, as Gary said, I do need to rest, but just one more game. I'm totally fine, I'll take care to protect myself. ”

Nash's voice was resolute, which made Chu Xuan suddenly feel angry.

There was really no way he could stop Nash, otherwise, this veteran would have regrets for the rest of his life.

"I've been involved, I've worked hard, and I'll be happy no matter what the result is. After this game, I'll rest. So, Chu, I hope you can understand that I have to fight this fight. ”

Nash continued.

"Steve, that being said, the body is the most important thing after all. If you pay an unimaginable price because of a game, it's not worth it. As I've said before, I want you to play for a few more years. ”

The price Chu Xuan was referring to was easy to understand. At the age of 40, athletes are vulnerable to devastating injuries. If Nash is unlucky and really ends his career because he barely plays, then it is undoubtedly very difficult to accept.

Of course, if he wins the championship this time, it is better to say, after all, Nash, who has fulfilled his championship dream, can leave the NBA.

However, if he can't win the championship, then Nash's gambling effort is undoubtedly not worth it.

"Chu, let me fight. I'm okay with any outcome. Nash's voice was low, but determined.

Obviously, he was ready for the last effort and didn't want to wait any longer.

Kobe Bryant and the others looked at each other, shocked by Nash's approach, and at the same time inspired. Why shouldn't they give it a go?

It's not just for themselves, it's for Nash, it's for the Lakers.

Chu Xuan felt the emotions around him, and finally nodded. (To be continued.) )
