Chapter 132: Battle of wits and courage

"LeBron, you're 16 points behind, did you think about that before the game?"

NBA official reporter Monroe grabbed James, who wanted to return to the players' tunnel, and seized the limited time to conduct an interview.

James's expression was quite serious at this time, he really didn't expect the Lakers to be able to play the game to this extent: "It's a little surprising, but it can give us a better understanding of the opponent." From what we know about this half, I think we have a way to deal with them. ”

"Can you evaluate the Lakers team? They've lost Howard, but they're doing an amazing job, and they're a great threat to you. ”

James blinked and said after a little thought: "The success of the Lakers is very obvious, they have got some great players who have made a fundamental difference in the team. They are underrated, and there is no doubt that the Lakers are a difficult team to deal with. Every team can't take him lightly. They are having everything to be a good team. ”

James's answer was full of high praise for the Lakers, which made people understand that this guy should be smart. He didn't belittle the Lakers and Chu Xuan like he did in the last game, which caused a lot of shock.

This situation undoubtedly shows the high IQ and high emotional intelligence of the first person in the alliance.

"LeBron, you seem to be a little out of shape today, do you think that's the reason why the Heat are behind?"

In the half, James hit 1 of 5 shots and scored only 4 points, but he had 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and his performance was still all-round.

'My performance was one factor, but the main thing was their defence against us. Judging by the first half, they studied us thoroughly. They were always in good defensive positions and that meant we couldn't get a lot of balls in. As for me, I'll think about it and try to make some changes in the second half. ”

"LeBron, there's no doubt that you need to turn on the offensive mode. That's where your chances of winning are. The reporter reminded with a smile.

James smiled slightly and nodded: "If needed, I think I will, I will definitely attack more in the second half." ”

*********

'In the first half, we defended very well. In the second half, I hope you can keep it as long as possible. Well, okay, that's all. ”

In the Lakers locker room, Chu Xuan said lightly. Then he stopped talking.

A group of players who were about to listen to Chu Xuan's high-minded talk couldn't help but be stunned, and their expressions were extremely stunned, gone?

"Chu, maybe you should talk about what everyone needs to pay attention to and improve in the second half." Kobe Bryant came back to his senses and reminded with a smile.

"That's right, Chu, this is your job, do you want to be lazy today?" Nash laughed.

Chu Xuan was slightly stunned. He really didn't have much to say today, because in the first half. As long as they don't let up their defense and let the Heat find their groove in shooting, then winning should be fine.

But it seems that the situation at this time is really a bit "difficult to be warm".

"Okay. Let me tell you, first of all, you're doing a great job. In the second half, you have to protect the rebound. And then the main point is that you can't relax your defense, and you can't let the Heat find a feel for the three-point shot. And then there's the offense, in the second half. Everyone still has to do a good job of team attack and don't be too obsessed with individual performance. ”

Chu Xuan is arranging, in his opinion, the Lakers can only beat the Heat by relying on the team. Because, if you fight for the stars, there is probably no team in the entire league that is the opponent of the Heat.

"You have to remember to try to make as few three-point shots as possible."

After a pause, Chu Xuan arranged again and said, "You can't let the Heat score too many three points." ”

After hearing this, all the players replied in unison: "Okay, head, no problem." ”

**********

After the fans watched the half-time show, the players returned to the pitch and the much-anticipated game resumed.

At the beginning of the game, Spoelstra chose to send the main players, and on the Lakers' side, Chu Xuan left Nash, Kobe, and Gasol on the court, and sent a five-member lineup of Whiteside, Green, Ibanks, Jackson, and Jeremy Lin.

"The Lakers also sent a small lineup? Green plays the No. 4 spot, is this to give the Heat a chance to turn the tables? ”

Barkley was slightly puzzled, and his eyes widened as a result.

"Green plays the No. 4 position, which is really rare this season. Could this be Chu Xuan's trick? This young man has too many ideas. Miller sighed.

Because of players such as Noll and Whiteside and Gasol, the Lakers are full inside. And Green has always been in the No. 3 position. Of course, Chu Xuan's arrangement will expose many of Green's disadvantages and shortcomings, after all, Green plays the No. 3 position, and his height and flexibility have no advantages.

However, as the No. 4 position, Green has a lot of advantages. The most notable is his responsiveness, flexibility, and explosiveness in rebounding.

Of course, the outside world is absolutely unaware of Green's advantages, and only Chu Xuan understands this.

Therefore, at this time in the second half of the game, Chu Xuan suddenly arranged Green to the No. 4 position, which immediately caused many people to be surprised and puzzled.

To many, this seems like a dumb move that could wipe out the Lakers' lead.

However, when the game actually started, everyone immediately dispelled this idea. Far from suffering Waterloo, the Lakers still maintained a strong momentum.

"Chu Xuan actually used Green as a big forward, which is really surprising, but the effect is surprisingly good." After a few rounds, Barkley's eyes lit up and he sighed.

"I have to say that although these passing balls have not been able to form an attack, they have greatly improved the situation on the court. Green is a good player. By the way, does this guy have six feet 7 inches? Miller blinked, and said what was on his mind.

"Reggie, why are you looking at me like that? I don't know how tall this guy is. Looking into Miller's eyes, Barkley immediately screamed, as if it wasn't Green who lied about his height, he lied about his height for Green.

"Charles, don't be nervous. I saw Draymond Green and suddenly remembered a question, that is, what is your naked height? Miller laughed.

"Well, I don't play anymore, so why do I have to ask that. Also, it's all on the file, and everybody knows how tall I am. Barkley glanced at his lips, as if someone had scarred him.

"6 feet 7 inches? That's what I saw, that's the height of shoes, right? Miller laughed.

"I'm a power forward, that's bare height, and I'm about the same height as LeBron in shoes. Reggie, I don't think we need to dwell too much on this issue. Barkley's eyes twinkled, and he wanted to change the subject.

However, at this time, it was not only Miller who was interested in talking about it, but also the fans who watched the game through *** suddenly became very interested.

So the question is, how tall is Barkley's real height?

"Reggie, I'm six feet six inches tall (198 cm) in my shoes, and I think we can stand up and compare." Miller stood up from his seat and gestured at Barkley.

Seeing this, Barkley hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but stand up.

The two men stood next to each other, and it was immediately shocking that Miller was clearly about an inch taller than Barkley.

"Charles, now I'm sure you're supposed to be six feet six inches tall in your shoes. Actually, my naked height is six feet six inches. Miller said with a smile as he looked at the camera on the big screen.

"Uh, Reggie, it's a good topic about Charles Barkley's height. But I'm curious to know, what does this have to do with Draymond Green playing power forward? Barkley asked, rolling his eyes.

"Because you've taught those guys badly, they're all lying about height. As a senior, you at least took the lead. ”

Miller said with a laugh.

Barkley laughed along, lying about height? This is indeed a very common phenomenon. Like Green, in Barkley's opinion, this guy is at most an inch taller than him.

"Charles, do you feel that Draymond is very much like you. Maybe he's better suited to play power forward. ”

Barkley's eyes moved, and he smiled, "Maybe." (To be continued.) )
