Once James starts, he's like a train, and he can't be stopped.

The Lakers' tactic is very simple, that is, not to give him room to break through, and the method is of course based on joint defense, so that James is impossible to break through.

For the Heat, their team strategy relies on James and Wade impacting the basket and then allowing others to get space to shoot.

Now that Wade can't play, the burden of creating space falls entirely on James.

Before the game, James was also determined to play tough and resolute, after all, he needs a championship, and it is his dream to build a dynasty.

However, the Lakers' defensive arrangement today was clearly aimed at him. The space and route of the breakthrough were completely locked, which made James very uncomfortable, and he did not find the rhythm of the offense throughout the first quarter of the game.

In layman's terms, James was invisible in the first quarter, which made the rest of the Heat team completely lose their sense of direction, plus Chu Xuan's tactical strategy is to prevent breakthroughs and let Heat players shoot. And because of the loss of James's containment of the Lakers' defense, the Heat was completely unable to attack, although Spoelstra called two timeouts impatiently during the period, but to no avail.

Scoring only 12 points in a single quarter is extremely insulting and very stressful.

And for James, the boss of the team, he was a little angry.

I don't know if it's dissatisfied with his own performance, or if he's dissatisfied with others, but he's in a state of anger.

"Mario, you have to be mindful of your shot selections, if it's too bad, it's just going to get the team into trouble." In the break break, James found Chalmers, who had multiple swings in the first quarter.

It seems that Xiao Cha is going to carry the pot of the first quarter of the game this time.

Chalmers looked at James, reflexively opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped, and then nodded silently.

Wade stood up from the side at this point, and he pulled Chalmers along: "Mario, you go to the basket more, or pass the ball to Ray and Shaun." Well, play like I do, and I'm sure you can do it. ”

When Wade said this, Chalmers was immediately grateful. Obviously, Wade relieved him, otherwise, he would definitely have to be criticized by James today.

Chalmers, of course, took Wade's advice into account.

Obviously, Wade is hoping that someone can take his place and help James and help the Heat.

"LeBron, the team's dilemma right now is that someone needs to step up and open up the situation, and that person can obviously only be you. They defend your breakaway, and you can shoot at all. Wade looked at James with a smile: "I remember a guy who said that instead of passing the ball to someone else and not being able to shoot, it would be better for me to do it myself." Of course, I'm not asking you to learn from that guy, I just want you to be more resolute when shooting. ”

The guy in Wade's mouth, of course, refers to Kobe. However, today's Kobe Bryant is more concerned about the team, and his lone wolf personality is a little more restrained.

And what caused this change?

Wade couldn't help but look at the Lakers rest area, and his eyes fell on Chu Xuan, who was in a suit and leather shoes and had an extremely calm face.

Wade's curiosity once again surfaced in his heart, he was now very interested in Chu Xuan.

"If we weren't rivals, we should be good friends." Wade thought silently in his heart.

……

When he said this, he undoubtedly wanted to give James some hints.

You must know that in today's league, there is absolutely no one who can surpass James in terms of individual basketball ability.

Obviously, when the team can't open the situation, James should be the first to use all his abilities to change the situation.

"LeBron, Dwayne is right, you've been shooting great, you can shoot a little more, and then all the difficulties will be solved." Battier popped up from the side and chimed in.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, and Spoelstra was obviously acquiescing, James's eyes flashed, he nodded and said, "I will, everyone give the best defense, and I will lead the team forward." ”

James made a promise, and he was undoubtedly going to make a personal shot.

Indeed, an inspired James dominated the second quarter of the game, scoring 11 points in a single quarter to narrow the gap to two points.

The Heat's defense allowed the Lakers to score just 11 points in the second quarter.

This practice can be said to be the way of others.

The level of excitement of the game is very high, and the end of the spectators is very high.

In between half-times, everyone was talking about the game and what was going to happen.

It didn't seem like the game was going to end so easily, and LeBron found his presence in the second quarter with his shots. Importantly, the Lakers' offensive style of play seems to have been seen through by the Heat. Let's see what kind of changes Chu Xuan can make. ”

"There is no doubt that today will be a rare classic and the defensive intensity of both sides is absolutely the best. What is certain is that the score will not be particularly high in today's game, and the play of the stars of both sides is very important. In the first half of the game, Steve Nash and the Twin Towers were very eye-catching, but Kobe Bryant hasn't played yet, will he step up today? ”

James has found the feeling of the game, and now what people are looking forward to is, of course, Kobe.

Will he be able to respond at the most crucial moment of the Janko showdown?

After all, it's about who is greater than Janko.

At half-time, reporters were left alone to make small talk, as players from both sides refused to be interviewed, which made people feel nervous and seemed to be able to smell the smoke that filled the air over the American Airlines arena.

Lakers' locker room.

Kobe Bryant looked a little unsightly, he failed to play several offenses in the first half, and the Heat took care of him.

He's thinking about how to play the second half and he feels like the team definitely needs him to step up at the moment.

"I seem to be feeling frustrated? To what extent? They just found a solution to the problem. However, for now, the advantage is still on our side.

You just have to trust me, do what I say, and everything will be solved. ”

Chu Xuan observed everyone's expressions, these guys were annoyed by the things that were lost in the second section.

"The more individual offenses LeBron, the more their shortcomings are magnified." Seeing that everyone had looked over, a confident smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face: "Remember what I said before the game?" The Heat has a lot of flaws, first, the interior is not strong enough, second, they rely too much on James' breakthrough to open up space, and third, they let them play too much alone. ”

"We've exposed the first two points, and now the third point is the most crucial one, which makes them have to fall into positional battles, so that the flaws of their overall squad will be greatly exposed, which will give us a chance to win." (To be continued.) )
