Both sides are confident in their respective positions. Before you know it, the remaining two minutes of the second quarter have passed. Coaches on both sides were satisfied with the message: the Lakers kept their lead, and the Heat also spied on the opponent's flaws, providing the possibility for the later efforts to turn around.

After the break, the players from both sides returned to the court.

The Lakers' side didn't go as the Heat coach expected, and Lore immediately returned to the court, regrouped and launched an onslaught. Not only did Lore not return to the court, Li Jing and Liming also sat on the bench to rest. Mozgov, who had been fighting on the inside for the entire half, was also rested on the bench.

This tactical arrangement of Wharton clearly had a surprising effect. But that's more than what he wants. Against the Lakers' bench lineup, Wharton really practiced several sets of offensive and defensive tactics. This time he was going to "surprise" the Heat's coach.

The performance of the substitutes after coming on the court really satisfied Wharton, not only played a role in the offense, one after another attack, but also made the Heat's originally not strong offense feel like a kick to the iron plate.

The Heat coach's face was gloomy, he didn't expect the Lakers' bench players to be able to have such strength. Seeing that the time of the second half is flying quickly, his plan has not yet been developed, but the gap in points is getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, the Heat coach couldn't tolerate his team stepping back in front of opposing bench players, so he called a timeout and adjusted his tactics. Compared with the Lakers' bench lineup, the Heat's tactical adjustments had an immediate effect. Soon after returning to the court, the Heat players quickly deflected Clarkson's shots in favor of the basket — a result that was not surprising when pressed by the opposing team.

Wharton replaced the substitutes and joined hands to get back on the pitch. The effect of the Lakers' adjustment was also immediate, with two powerful dunks from Lore announcing his return.

The Heat are already trailing by fifteen points, and it will be about fifteen minutes before the end of the game, which is almost a point difference that makes the Heat players desperate if there is no way. Action is needed. The Heat coach made a hidden gesture, and the players on the court were slightly stunned when they saw it, and looked at the coach with inquiring eyes, and saw that the coach nodded firmly.

The Heat players silently took orders. The Heat's offense, a wide range of passes from the outside, and then opened the Lakers' defense. Suddenly, the basketball hangs under the basket. The white side of the inside line accelerated with the ball, and the huge body rushed to the blue like a tank, jumped up, and made a layup? "Boom!" Under the basket, the offensive and defensive sides turned on their backs, and the white side and the defender of the basket fell to the ground on their backs at the same time.

Bumping people? Blocking fouls?

The referee's whistle blew but the verdict was not made for a long time. The referee and assistant referee urgently negotiated. With the help of the slow-motion replay of the scene, it can be seen that in the face of the white-edged and menacing layup, when there is no room for fire, Lohr, who is guarding the basket, raises his arms high, but his feet stand still and do not retreat.

It's a foul!

“yes！” The Lakers players cheered in unison, cheering on Lowe's beautiful defense. On the field, Li Jing pulled up Luoer, who was still lying on the ground, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Well done!" ”

"Of course!" Lore said proudly, "Sample, you want to make me foul, and you don't see who I am." ”

Beside. Liming said: "The coach on the other side thinks that the three of us can't play without cooperation." ”

"What a joke." Lore scoffed, "Didn't the first half wake him up?" ”

Liming asked leisurely, "Li Jing, how long has it been since I saw your solo show?" ”

"It was a long time ago." Li Jing turned his wrist. Sometimes it's really nostalgic. ”

"Then let me revisit it today." Dawn raised his hand to grab Clarkson's outside line out of the earth in his hand, "Lore will watch from the wall." ”

"Understood!" Lore nodded, "It's up to you." ”

"Smack!" The basketball slammed into the ground, as if it was the contemptuous anger in Dawn's heart. Again, the figure was already flying towards the opposite side like a feathered arrow from the string. On the left and right are the figures of Li Jing and Luoer accompanying each other. When he was blocked from outside the three-point line, Dawn moved across the right side of the three-point line without slowing down, and Lore cut to the basket. also came to the right to answer, Clarkson stood at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Li Jingdi was on the left side of the penalty area.

The focus of the joint defense is to put heavy pressure on the ball handler, and Li Jing has only one opponent in front of him.

Dawn passed, and the basketball went straight to the hands of Lore under the basket, and at the same time he quickly cut into the air, and Lore passed with his hands. Basketball is back at dawn from the three-point line. In the process of passing the ball back and forth, Dawn had already dodged the marked opponent in an instant. Receiving the ball and throwing it vigorously, the basketball flew straight across half the court to Li Jing on the other side of the three-point line.

Li Jing had only one opponent in front of him, and the players under the basket struggled to pounce, but for a while, it was obviously beyond the reach of the whip.

For a good striker, don't give him room to start or it will be a nightmare for the defender. For a top striker like Li Jing. A defender who is a step away obviously can't pose any threat to him. After receiving the ball, he stepped out and shook the opponent over, Li Jing's figure seemed to be a heavy tank racing at Ferrari speed, roaring and rushing to the opponent's basket, the ball was raised, dribbling the ball two steps, jumping high after shaking the opponent, "boom" one-handed dunk, the rebound shook violently, and the basket trembled even more.

“yes！” The emotions of the fans in the audience were completely excited by this powerful dunk, and they were jubilant.

This goal is a complete embodiment of Li Jing's personal ability.

On the court, Li Jing split his left and right fists and lightly hit Luo Er and Liming, "Well done!" Dawn cheered. Just keep it at that, we'll keep passing you the ball. These are the words of Lore.

"No problem!"

……

The Heat are still trying to get Lore off the court. However, the Lakers' response was unexpected and the players on the court quickly set up a perimeter barrier under Dawn's command to share the defensive pressure for Lore. Without the impact of outside players on the basket, it is difficult for the Heat interior players to pose a threat to Lore alone. When it comes to the encounters between interior players under the basket, Lore is much more experienced than his opponents.

……

Offensive and defensive casting, Lakers' offense. Lore is in the center, cutting the basket in the air, Liming is on the left, forcing a breakthrough with the ball, and Li Jing is on the right, doing an empty cut without the ball. After Liming broke through the opponent who was blocked by the perimeter, he passed the ball, and under the basket, Lore received the ball and turned his back to hit the opponent alone, attracting the opponent to surround him, and the basketball passed back to the outside line, and Clarkson immediately handed the ball to Li Jing after receiving the ball.

The situation is the opposite of just now, Liming's breakthrough and Low's basket "strong attack" have attracted enough firepower, leaving Li Jing to still be an opponent who stands in a joint defense, and an inside player who struggles to pounce to support. After receiving the ball, Li Jing shook his hands in front of the opponent very simply, and then rushed to the inside player before he pounced, and made a neat jump shot, and the basketball arc went directly through the basket. With this kind of shooting from a 45-degree position, he never has a low shooting percentage.

……

Time is flying, and the gap between the two teams is widening. The expression of the Heat coach outside the court was uncertain, and he was hesitating in his heart, whether to use the last resort: there is not only one way to ask Li Jing to get off the court, in addition to foul tactics, there is also a desperate method: kill the opponent and make the opponent have to go off! This is a means that no coach or player will confess. Under the premise that everything is for the sake of victory, there will be teams that use this method. But here, in the end, the Heat's coach sighed and finally gave up on the idea. In addition to his own moral bottom line, Li Jing's personal ability on the court is also a very important reason. If Lore is really invited off the court, can the Heat really stop Li Jing's scoring? And that terrible Chinese defender? The Heat coach is very unconfident.

On the court, the Heat players have been working hard to get Lore off the court. Because their coach said: as long as there is one less person, their opportunity comes.

The players on both sides worked hard all the time and no one gave up the game early.

In the fourth quarter, the gap in scores was 20 points. This is a score gap that can be truly desperate. The Heat scored just over 60 points in the first three quarters, and they have to catch up with a gap of 20 points in the first quarter of the game, unless the opponent can't score a point.

But even though they knew that there was no hope of victory, the Heat's players fought endlessly, desperately defending, and trying to attack. After the Lakers confirmed the victory in the fifth minute, they will be replaced by a court break. At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 94:80.

When Dawn held high the Finals MVP, the first season of his career was over. His rookie season was perfect, and the world has had a superstar named Dawn.

However, his legend has only just begun.

After the NBA season, it's time for the Olympics. Before the national team training, the Chinese Basketball Association announced to the media with high spirits: "Chinese basketball is facing unprecedented opportunities this time, our goal is no longer the top eight, this time the goal of the Chinese national team is to enter the final four!" Saying that, the officials of the Basketball Association waved their fists, looking very imposing, and they seemed to have mustered up the courage to give an explanation to the fans across the country.

However, when Liming, who was still on the other side of the ocean, heard the news, he was very angry and responded to the Chinese Basketball Association in the media: "A team with two of the world's top players, a team with hundreds of millions of fans at home to support the team, if you don't have the courage to put forward the goal of winning the championship, then I am ashamed to play for such a team." From middle school to college to now in the professional league, all the teams I've played with have been championship-oriented. Even if the strength is not good, the industry will not lose the courage and confidence to win. If a team has the strength to win the championship but doesn't even have the courage to put forward the goal of winning the championship, then I think such a team can't win glory for the country at all, and can only discredit Chinese basketball, and I refuse to play for such a team. ”

Liming's words are equivalent to a slap in the face of the Chinese Basketball Association. The Basketball Association is angry but has no way to vent it, and Dawn has never been the object of the Basketball Association's officials. Expelled him from the national team? It's impossible. Now all fans know that the savior of Chinese basketball is this young basketball demon. Kicking such a figure out of the national team, think of angry fans who dare not have the courage to bear the consequences.

In the end, it was Coach Liu, the head coach of the national team, who came out to play the round: "The goal of the officials of the Basketball Association does not represent the national team. The Chinese national team has two of the best players in the world right now, and we can beat every opponent......"

How could Liming not give face to his mentor, and flew back immediately after receiving a call from Coach Liu. Huaxia Basketball: Because of Liming, the basketball demon king, the Olympic champion is his goal.

After stirring up this period of turmoil, the Chinese basketball demon king did not let his oath fall through, and this Olympic Games finally became the beginning of the most glorious era of Chinese basketball. Liming and Li Jing, Zhou Jie, King and others passed all the way, and played until the final with a devastating momentum. In the finals, the United States team, led by James, a team composed of all NBA superstars. After two extra-time periods. In the end, the Chinese team won the final victory with a one-point advantage in the cheers of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.

Olympic champion, the most glorious era of Chinese basketball began.

Later seasons, the Lakers made minor personnel changes over the summer. The bench strength has been further enhanced. After the baptism of the playoffs, the Lakers are more mature. They quickly became the league's best-performing team at the start of the season, and they moved towards third place in the league with a solid stance. Dawn, the league's youngest superstar, is becoming more and more comfortable at the Lakers' playmaking guard position. After he gradually freed himself from the task of organizing and planning offense, the title of the league's leading scorer began to come his way, and this season, the term "dominance" began to associate with him.

When the regular season of the season ends. Dawn won the scoring title and the assist title. The Lakers are once again third in the league with a record of 69 wins, which is close to the best in NBA history. This time, the regular season MVP was not left behind. Dawn lifted the regular season MVP trophy as he wished.

In the playoffs, the Lakers reached the Finals again. But unfortunately, it fell at the feet of the Heat.

Later, the Lakers, who had learned from the pain, began to rebuild. Wharton retired from his coaching position to become the team's manager. Coach Liu, who had just retired from the position of head coach of the Chinese national team, was invited to serve as the head coach of the team. This year, the Lakers' regular season continued unstoppable. The 74 wins surpassed the Warriors' record of 73 wins that year and became the third in NBA history.

Dawn was once again named the Most Valuable Player of the regular season. Coach Liu, who was in his third year coaching an NBA team, became the best coach of the year.

This year, the Lakers once again reached the Finals, this time the Heat unexpectedly lost, and the Western Conference champion was the Lakers. After the last time they reached the Finals, the Lakers choked the throat of fate for the third time, 4:2, and the Lakers finally achieved their championship dream. From there, a Lakers dynasty began.

The Lakers are third in the regular season and the championship! Dawn Regular Season MVP, Finals MVP, Scoring Champion, Assist Champion......

The Lakers are third in the regular season and the championship! Dawn once again encapsulates all individual accolades.

……

The Lakers finished third in the regular season and won the championship, and Dawn once again won the regular season MVP, Finals MVP, scoring champion, and assist champion. This year, he broke Chamberlain's record of 100 points and became a veritable third man in history with 105 points per game. Then Dawn got tired of it, made the retirement statement called "invincible loneliness", and waved goodbye to the NBA.

In his nine-year career, he has achieved seven consecutive championships, eight consecutive scoring titles, eight consecutive regular season MVPs, and eight Finals MVPs...... Leaving behind this dazzling series of accolades, with the title of "Basketball Demon King", Dawn left basketball at the age of 28, which is the prime age of basketball, and left basketball at his peak. The "King of the Ball" Dawn has become at least the supreme existence of basketball and the common idol of all fans in the world basketball world.

The season is over, and as expected, there is no suspense, and our team has won the championship again. Only this time, for me, this may be the last time I lift an NBA championship trophy – because I'll be officially out of the NBA league starting next season.

Ten years ago, I came to the United States, the kingdom of basketball, with a dream of challenging the best basketball in the world. In the past four years, I have grown from an ignorant youth to the basketball superstar I am today.

My coaches, my teammates, my whole team have been very supportive and helpful during my time in the league. Thank you for their great help.

Over the past four years, countless accolades have surrounded me, championships, MVPs, scoring champions, assists champions...... My basketball career is at its peak, and there's still so much time for me to create new myths. Create a new myth for the NBA. What's the reason why I'm going to give it all up?

There's only one reason: I'm tired of it! Basketball can't stir up any passion in me anymore. When an athlete doesn't have any passion for the sport he is doing, it's time for him to quit.

I love basketball because basketball means confrontation, it means constant fighting, it means winning in defeat, it means fighting for victory.

Because I like basketball, I gave up my college studies, because I like basketball, I came to the distant United States alone, because I like basketball, I crazy challenge all kinds of masters, because I like basketball, I desperately improve my strength.

When the opponent is no longer strong, when the game is no longer suspenseful, when victory is within reach, when I can't find someone to challenge, when I can't wait for a defeat, the passion for basketball slowly fades.

In fact, two years after entering the league, I had the intention of quitting the league and ending my career, the reason why I didn't make this decision until today, in addition to the restrictions of the contract, there is also the love of basketball, I always look forward to the day when there will be a close opponent, the rise of a strong team in the league, two years ago, I am still disappointed after all.

For me, the biggest sorrow is not being able to compete with the great players of Jordan's generation, and the biggest frustration is not being able to play a close game, not being able to play to my full strength. What's the point of a game when it can be won with only 70% of your strength?

Standing at the pinnacle of this era, I am extremely lonely, invincible and so bleak.

I have imagined the scene of retirement countless times, but when this day really comes, I am still full of melancholy.

Maybe one day, I'll find out that I can't live without basketball in the end, maybe one day, there will be an opponent in the league that I crave, and maybe I'll come back one day.

But now, goodbye, my friends!

Goodbye, Alliance!
