Chapter 45: Pulling the Lakers off the horse

It may be that Beasley's dunk is too morale-boosting, and other Heat players have also opened up one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Livingston and Haslem hit back-to-back shots, Cook hit a three-pointer from the bottom left corner, and Beasley demanded a skinny Ariza and Phil Jackson had to call a timeout.

At this point, just halfway through the second quarter, the score was 42-32, and the Heat led by 10 points.

The Lakers didn't feel good today, and they needed to make some adjustments.

"Michael, well done!" Wade walked up and high-fived Beasley.

Spo was also smiling, and he praised everyone, "Guys, very good, let's keep this rhythm going!" ”

The Heat players are happy, but the Lakers bench is gloomy.

Kobe Bryant asked Ying to play, but was rejected by Phil Jackson, Spo didn't replace Wade, he couldn't replace Kobe, that's the bottom line. In addition, in his eyes, the Lakers are the strongest team on the surface, even without Kobe, they are much better than the Heat!

He didn't believe it, and he couldn't cure Beasley, a mere first-grade rookie.

Backbite!

The timeout came back, and the Lakers attacked.

Ariza and Famar were replaced, and just now the two of them played the worst, unable to shoot and unable to defend. Sent in were Fischer and "Skiman" Vladimir Radmanovic.

Phil Jackson deliberately strengthened his team's three-point shooting capabilities.

Odom took the ball outside the three-point line on the left side and ran a lap of tactics without a chance, so everyone consciously pulled away, and the ball was given to Gasol in the low post on the right, who hit Blunt with his back, no pressure, and the small hook hit easily.

42 to 34.

The Heat attacked, with Livingston and Beasley playing in the middle.

The Lakers switched defenses and formed a misalignment, and Beasley began to eat Fisher within a step of the three-point line at the top of the arc, and after getting to the basket, he made a strong throw.

44 to 34.

It was Beasley's 11th point of the game, and he finally scored in double figures.

A few more rounds followed, with the Lakers relying on Odom's free throws to add a 3-pointer, while the Heat hit several straight shots.

With three minutes left in the second quarter, Wade replaced Beasley, and Phil Jackson immediately replaced Kobe Bryant, and the audience was in an uproar, and what they liked to see was a matchup between the top cards.

Kobe Bryant at this stage is not the same as later, he is also responsible for defense while taking on offensive tasks, and he is the strongest defensive guard on the outside of the Lakers.

Wade is the same, but the puzzling thing is that Wade is higher than Kobe Bryant in terms of defensive statistics and defensive efficiency values, but the former has never been involved in a defense, while the latter has been soft.

There is also the most critical point - Kobe Bryant has Fisher's backcourt defense, and even if he is passed, Odom, Gasol and others will help him wipe his ass, and the defensive pressure is much lighter than Wade!

Who is Wade?

The dying old O'Neal, the powerless Haslem, and the bullied Jason Williams......

There are some things that are really unfair in comparison.

On the field, the return of the stars of both sides made the game even more exciting.

Kobe Bryant's hand picked up, he hit consecutive difficult jump shots, and Wade also scored 2+1 to return the color.

At halftime, the Lakers were tied at 49-43.

Although he was in the lead for the time being, Wade's face did not look good, and he had some concerns: The Lakers are not playing at their true level now, so when the bayonets are red in the second half, will the Heat be able to withstand it?

Back in the locker room, he emphasized to everyone: "I think we can win this game, so I want everyone to be serious and tough, what about the Lakers on the other side?" What's wrong with being number one in the West? Not yet lagging behind us! Listen, today we're going to pull them off the horse and show everyone how powerful Miami people are! ”

His remarks were quite effective, and everyone's mood was noticeably high.

After all, this game is broadcast live in the United States, so who wouldn't want to win in such a context?

Soon, the third quarter began.

The Lakers starters are all back, and it looks like they are about to start working hard.

The Heat possessed the ball, and as soon as Wade came up, he shook Bynum and scored two points.

51 to 43.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant hesitated for a moment and didn't play, he chose to pass to Gasol, who was already stuck in the restricted area.

It was Haslem who defended Gasol, who was one size smaller, but Gasol still opted for a hook hand, and the ball spun around the basket before finally reluctantly rolling into the net.

51 to 45.

The Heat played a small match - Wade first broke through to the free throw line with the ball, Beasley on the baseline made a cross cover with Margloyle and tricked the defender to slip to the other side of the basket, Wade immediately gave the ball, Beasley received the ball and hit a layup to add two more points.

53 to 45.

Then, the Lakers scored again by Gasol, and they clung to the score.

In this quarter, the two sides were purely competing for offense, the Heat relied on Wade and Beasley's individual abilities to score points, while the Lakers focused on the interior, and Gasol and Bynum's low-post offense The Heat had no one to prevent, so Kobe Bryant reduced his shots.

Since his team-mates can score, he is happy to pass the ball.

In the third quarter, the score reached 30-36, and both teams maintained a shooting rate of more than 60%.

The two teams entered the final quarter tied at 79.

On the commentary seat, Mike Brin showed a surprised expression: "I didn't expect that the Heat could tie with the Lakers, you must know that they were still a team at the bottom last season, and this improvement is too great!" ”

Mark Jackson picked him up, "Dwyane Wade has grown a lot through the Olympics and I used to think he was a notch worse than Kobe, but now it looks like they're evenly matched!" ”

"Two, isn't Beasley the most critical factor in the Heat's ability to make such great progress? The Heat were 14-3 when he was there, and 2-5 when he wasn't, so such an obvious contrast always says something! "Little Van Gundy was really unsparing in touting Beasley.

"Hey, Jeff, of course I know why Beasley has a big advantage, but Wade is the master of the Heat, do you dare to imagine Beasley leading the team single-handedly?" Mark Jackson still holds his own view.

Van Gundy Jr. laughed directly when he said this, "Come on, Beasley is still just a rookie, and LeBron James only got 35 wins in his first year, what else do you want him to do?" ”

They argue on the sidelines while the game continues on the field.

PS: I myself think the update is too pitiful, so I don't have the face to ask for tickets or anything, I just hope you will be more patient. It's going to get better in September, though, because I have more time to code.

I'm really sorry!
