"Putting the protection of the rebound first, all the offense is done in the box as much as possible."

The minds of the Lakers players were completely haunted by Chu Xuan's words.

In the second half, they frantically started to grab rebounds, and then used their height to attack in the restricted area, or take advantage of opportunities to create fouls.

In just three minutes, the situation on the court shifted a lot in favor of the Lakers.

Without the guarantee of rebounding, coupled with the lack of offensive efficiency, the Heat once again had a crisis.

Bosh couldn't get close to the basket at all, and even said he couldn't find a way to grab the rebound.

The only thing the Heat can rely on is James, but for James, is he stuck under the basket and inside? That's really not what he's good at.

In three minutes, the Lakers played a wave of 10:3 to extend the difference to 9 points.

By this time, Bosh's situation had begun to be talked about, and many people were talking about his weak rebounding again.

Indeed, in the small lineup of the Heat, Bosh needs to balance space and rebounding at the same time, which is definitely not easy. And, as it turned out, he was completely unable to play the performance of the Raptors, and his frequent stealth was greatly criticized by everyone.

"1 of 4, 4 points and 1 board."

In between the pauses, Bosh's individual performance was broadcast live.

There is no doubt that the former Dragon King has weakened again, and he has become invisible in the crucial championship fight.

In fact, looking at his performance this season, Bosh is still okay, averaging 14.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 47.7%. Although it is no longer an All-Star, it is enough to be the starter of a team.

However, if you get lost in such a crucial game, you can't even find yourself and play a strong performance. So no matter what the result is, he will definitely have to memorize the pot this time.

"Be aggressive, play tough, we have an absolute advantage on the inside, so you have to be confident at all times."

There was a lot of noise at the scene, and Chu Xuan had to speak loudly.

The home fans reacted badly, and of course it was only for the Lakers.

Moreover, the atmosphere at the scene was very tense, which fully reflected the intensity of the game and the focus that could be aroused.

"Bryant, the opponent's focus will definitely be on how to deal with our interior line, at this time, you need to step up and score, this is your chance. My request is very simple, you start from the middle distance, that's what you're good at. ”

In the high and low positions, Kobe Bryant is definitely the best player to master.

In this kind of positional defensive battle, the team with this kind of player definitely has a huge advantage.

After all, the middle distance is absolutely capable of solving any problem.

Chu Xuan knew this in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to let the inside line keep playing and not give Kobe a chance.

"I know what to do, no matter who prevents me, I can handle it."

Kobe Bryant confidently replied and kept silent.

Chu Xuan nodded approvingly, he also thought so. Today's Heat team, except for James, there is really no one who can defend Kobe.

But James needs to do so much, and Spoelstra generally won't arrange for him to play against Kobe, after all, Kobe Bryant, who has excellent offensive skills, is definitely not so easy to do.

At the end of the pause, the Heat's arrangement was similar to what Chu Xuan expected.

Battier defended Bryant, James played the No. 3 position, while Bosh moved to the No. 4 position, and Oden was used to play against Whiteside.

Such an arrangement does superficially compensate for the Heat's disadvantage.

However, the level of lineup chemistry between the Lakers players is not something that the Heat can have.

To Chu Xuan's delight, Knoll actually scored the ball many times under Bosh's defense, and at the same time, Whiteside completely suppressed Oden, who is now almost unathletic, with the advantage of height and arm length.

On the outside, Green's defense against James on the wing began to be ineffective, and under his defense, James frequently made successful shots.

However, fortunately, Kobe Bryant found his sense on offense, he successfully hit Battier three times, and once it was 2+1.

The Lakers' momentum is excellent, and the Heat can't get the upper hand on James alone.

Throughout the third quarter of the game, the Lakers have been suppressing the Heat by virtue of their advantage on the inside.

"The Lakers went into the fourth quarter with a 10-point advantage, and the Heat couldn't find a solution to the inside rebounding explosion, which put them in a terrible situation. If this continues, the level of the Lakers' victory today may be huge. ”

"Without the protection of rebounding, the Heat are always out shooting threes, which is not a good way at all. The Lakers' defense is entirely aimed at their three-point shots, which makes their three-point shots very inefficient. The Heat are in big trouble, and the Lakers' interior line can be said to be in full swing today. ”

"At this point, Chris Bosh should return to the traditional power forward position, and if he can play the low post ability of the Raptors, he will be able to give the Heat a chance to fight back."

……

Everyone's opinion revolves around rebounding, and the Heat have blown up so many rebounds by the Lakers that there is no hope that the Heat can win.

"I need rebounds, we can't afford to lose the fundamentals."

Spoelstra felt a headache, and he glanced around and couldn't find anyone he could trust when it came to rebounding.

In the end, he chose Haslem, a hard-line power forward with a small height.

"Interesting." When he saw Haslem playing center and Whiteside, he was immediately very interested, and he wanted to see what kind of performance Haslem could play.

In fact, what happened next surprised Chu Xuan, Haslem actually grabbed rebounds one after another, and almost fought evenly with Whiteside in the matchup.

Every attack in the final quarter can be said to be able to pull everyone's nerves, the exclamations continued, the game climbed to a climax again and again, and the confrontation between the two sides made people feel the blood pumping.

Spoelstra didn't let Bosh return to his traditional power forward, leaving Bosh still lost, and his only bright spot was hitting a three-pointer and then losing it again.

The Heat have completely given up on the interior, and they are betting on three-pointers.

However, it has to be said that they had a really poor performance on three-pointers today, and in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, they only shot 4-of-20 from three-point range, shooting only 20%.

With such offensive efficiency, the Heat certainly can't completely eliminate the point difference.

**********

on the field.

The focus was on Kobe Bryant and James for no other reason, because in the final quarter of the game, the two had already faced each other many times, and they were evenly matched, and neither had the upper hand.

At this time, there is only more than 1 minute left in the game, the Lakers attack the ball, and the Heat are only 3 points behind, obviously, this is a key defense, if the Heat can defend it, then the outcome of the game will be in great suspense.

With Kobe's character, at such a time, it must be him who catches the ball.

However, what was surprising was that after he attracted the bag, he actually distributed the ball to Nash.

The audience burst into exclamations, and Nash's shooting crosshairs made the home fans feel fear.

Chu Xuan couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, he was very eager for Nash to be able to throw the ball in.

However, Nash didn't shoot, and he used the shooting feint to fool Battier, who came over to make up the defense, and strode to the inside.

At this moment, Nash feels very resolute, and he is undoubtedly going to play this ball on his own.

However, it is clear that Nash is tired by now, and it is indeed safer to break through than to shoot.

"Can you score?"

As Nash leaped into the crowd, everyone's thoughts erupted.

The moment Nash and Haslem's bodies ended, the basketball was tossed by him, and then the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

It was exactly on the expected track, and the Lakers led by five points at 80:75, directly forcing the Heat to request a timeout.

With only 1 minute and 29 seconds left, the Lakers have already seen the dawn of victory.

Nash's goal had a huge impact on morale, and he explained what it means to be a veteran immortal and glorious again.

However, at this time, the scene suddenly became agitated.

Nash was sitting on the ground, touching his knees, his expression pained.

"It's still happening!" Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly ran over. (To be continued.) )
