"Hello audience friends, this is the first game of the NBA Finals Hornets vs. Heat broadcast live by Tianchao Channel 5 for everyone, and now the game has reached the end of the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides is 101:100, the Heat is 1 point behind the Hornets away, and the audience and friends who missed the previous exciting games can log in to xxx online to watch the video broadcast. Coach Zhang, how do you see the situation developing next? ”

Zhang Weiping coughed, and then said: "At this time, it is necessary to test the strength of the stars, the individual performance of the stars at critical moments is the most important, the Bulls had Jordan at critical moments, the Lakers had Kobe Bryant at critical moments, and the Heat are now by James at critical times, of course, the key figure of the Hornets is Wang Meng, at this time, their performance will determine the outcome of the game." At the moment, it is the Heat's ball possession, so I speculate that it should be James who completes this offense. ”

Yu Jia, like many viewers, rolled his eyes helplessly, there is no difference between what Zhang Weiping said and what he didn't say, since James is on the court, the Heat will definitely hand over the ball to James, there is no suspense, even if it is usually done like this, let alone in such a critical period now?

Ray Allen, Battier, Miller, the Heat's strongest three-point shooters, didn't play in the first quarter, which made Wang Meng a little strange all the time, it stands to reason that the Heat have so many three-point shooters, there shouldn't be such a thing as a rotation failure.

Wang Meng immediately knew why, because at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Heat's lineup changed dramatically. Ray Allen, Miller, James, Battier, Anderson.

Looking at the players on the court of the Heat, Wang Meng's pupils shrank slightly, he didn't expect that the Heat would offer such a lineup, except for the only inside birdman Anderson, the Heat can be said to have no inside players.

The firepower that this lineup can burst out is indeed amazing, Ray Allen, Battier, Miller, James, these four people average 40% three-point shooting rate per game in the regular season, you can imagine what the result of the four of them on the court at the same time.

However, this lineup also has a very big drawback, that is, the already weak interior line has become more vulnerable, Anderson's block is not bad, but his defensive ability on the interior can only be described as average, and many interior defenses in the league are better than Anderson. But even so, Anderson is currently the strongest defensive player on the Heat's interior line, this lineup, the Hornets only need to use a big man with offensive ability, and scoring on the Heat's interior line is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, it just so happens that the lineup that the Hornets discharged in the second quarter is Fisher, Roy, Wallace, Yi Jianlian and Oden's lineup, so Oden has naturally become the main point of attack of this lineup.

Because the jump ball was won by the Hornets, the ball in the second quarter was on the side of the Heat, and the Heat was responsible for controlling the ball by James, who dribbled the ball across the half court, and then passed the ball to Ray Allen, who tried to catch the ball, but Fisher, who defended him, did not give Ray Allen many shots, so Ray Allen passed the ball to Miller again.

The basketball was transmitted several times in the hands of several outside players of the Heat, and finally pulled out a little space, Battier received a pass, because Yi Jianlian moved a little slowly as an interior player, and did not keep up with it for the first time, Battier took advantage of this short time and shot quickly, this was his first shot in this game, because of the good feel, this three-point shot steadily.

"It's really troublesome to keep this group of shooters at bay!" Wang Meng sat on the bench and watched the game, and said secretly in his heart: "But Oden should have a great advantage on the inside, even if the Heat can shoot three points on the outside, it may not be able to pull the score away." ”

The situation was as expected by Wang Meng, Battier just hit a three-pointer, and the Hornets immediately responded with one from Oden, but compared to the Heat's half-day space on the outside, Oden seemed much more casual.

Stand up on the inside, wait for Fisher to drop the ball to himself, and then be beaten Anderson, when Oden faces this Mr. Birdman, all he needs is to pay attention to his block, the basketball is dunked into the basket by Oden with one hand, Anderson has nothing to do about it, this is a gap in strength, even if the Birdman's positive surname is high, it is useless.

"The weakness of the Heat is too deadly, the interior is weak, which has made the Heat suffer several losses in this playoffs. Barkley shook his head and said analytically: "The teams that have won championships in recent years, the Lakers have Gasol Bydam Twin Towers, the Celtics have Garnett, and the Spurs have Duncan, except for the Heat last season, basically no team will have a weak interior line, a decent championship team, even if the interior strength is not the top in the league, but at least in the middle and upper reaches, the Heat's interior line can be said to be the bottom of the league." ”

"You don't need to look at it at all." O'Neal, as a top interior lineman, certainly has a certain say in this regard, "Of the 16 teams that have entered the playoffs this season, the Heat's interior line is the weakest, although it has an All-Star interior line like Bosh, but the Heat can't even compare to the interior line of the Clippers, who are ranked eighth in the West, and the Heat was able to win the championship last season because of the play of the two superstars James Wade and the lack of run-in of the Lakers' Big Three." ”

"That being said, it doesn't mean the Heat are going to lose." Smith offered a contradictory view at this time with the two retired commentators on interior players. "After all, the Heat have the strongest backcourt strength in the league, once these shooters go crazy, what's the use of being strong inside?"

"You also said that once these shooters go crazy." Barkley shook his fingers and said leisurely, "The key is when do they go crazy?" ”

"Hey!" The sharp-eyed Smith pointed to the field and said proudly: "Look, now they are crazy." ”

Buckley O'Neal looked down at the court and was speechless for a moment, because the Heat were really crazy.

Oden attacked the interior 3 times and scored 2 times, and the efficiency can be said to be very good, but the Heat made three shots on the outside, and they all scored, including two for Battier and one for Miller, although James and Ray Allen did not score, but the running position of the two of them also brought a lot of pressure to the Hornets.

When Battier hit his second three-pointer, Monty called a timeout.

There is no way, the feeling of this thing is getting more and more powerful, if the Heat is allowed to throw like this, maybe the Hornets will be behind by twenty or thirty points at the end of the second quarter.

"Defend them from the outside, don't give them an open shot from the outside!" Monty emphasized over and over again, and at the same time replaced Fisher, who couldn't keep up with Ray Allen's footsteps, and let Tony Allen go up, the other players did not change, and Wang Meng did not play in advance.

Such a change seems to have had a bit of an effect when it came on the court, because the Heat came back from a timeout and missed a three-point shot, which was shot by Ray Allen, and Tony Allen's defense was timely, causing Ray Allen's shot to go wide.

There is almost no suspense in rebounding, and the Heat can almost be said to be not competitive at all in this regard, and maybe occasionally be lucky enough to pick up one or two frontcourt rebounds, but that possibility is too low.

The Hornets are still carrying out the rhythm of carrying out the inside line to the end, but it is Yi Jianlian who receives the basketball this time, it is true that Yi Jianlian can only be regarded as a soy sauce player in the NBA, but this does not mean that Yi Jianlian's strength is very weak, at least in the face of Battier, Yi Jianlian has many ways to send basketball to the basket. Although Battier is famous for his defense, he is excellent at outside defense, and Battier is not very good at interior defense, because the interior line is mostly physically collided, and Battier's body is really weak to death, even Yi Jianlian can also use his physical advantage to fight with Battier.

Yi Jianlian leaned his back against Battier, dribbled the ball and went in twice, Battier couldn't stand up at all, and retreated again and again, he also knew that this kind of going down would be squeezed directly into the basket by Yi Jianlian, so when Battier took advantage of Yi Jianlian's dribble to squeeze back, he suddenly shot out, wanting to poke the basketball in Yi Jianlian's team.

However, Yi Jianlian was already waiting here, Battier had just made a move, Yi Jianlian immediately hugged the basketball with both hands, turned around and threw a jumper, Battier was caught off guard, and watched dryly as Yi Jianlian threw the basketball into the basket.

"Hoho! This is Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Reading Power! Barkley pointed to one of Yi Jianlian's naturally raised legs, and said with a quacked smile: "Yi Jianlian joined the Mavericks last season, although he didn't get much playing time, but he also learned a good thing, and he often used this trick to score in the Olympics last year, and the effect was quite good." This season in the Hornets, he has attacked with the ball alone, and most of the time he only uses this trick. ”

"It's nature." O'Neal nodded and said: "Yi Jianlian is just a substitute in the Hornets, he can get very few shots, and the situation of being able to attack with the ball is even less pitiful, in this case, he must increase his success rate to the maximum, and use all the tricks in one go, so that he can show his strength in the limited playing time, so as to win more playing time." ”

"He's got a lot of minutes to play now." Smith said: "In the current rotation of the Hornets, with five starters, and excluding the sixth man Roy, Yi Jianlian has the most playing time, almost on par with Barnes, another main substitute, completely overpowering his rival Jason Smith. ”

Barkley nodded and said: "The current Yi Jianlian, if you want to increase the playing time, you need to reduce the playing time of Gasol and Oden, which is basically impossible, although Yi Jianlian played well, but compared to Gasol Oden, there is still a bit of a gap, more importantly, compared to excellent offensive ability, Yi Jianlian's defensive ability and rebounding ability are much weaker, if Yi Jianlian can't rise in these two aspects, he can only be a substitute in the NBA." ”

The game between the Hornets and the Heat continued, although the Heat's three-point firepower was curbed a lot after a pause, but it was not completely gone, relying on James's breakthrough shot, the Heat's three-point shot was still able to maintain a certain shooting rate, and the Hornets were on the side, as long as the Heat did not cover it, Roy tried his best to hand over the ball to the inside to deal with, which made the Heat feel very helpless.

Halfway through the second quarter, the two sides took a timeout to make another substitution, and all five Hornets were replaced, with Fisher, Wang Meng, Barnes, Gasol and Milicic on the court. The Heat replaced James, who had played for a long time, with Wade Chalmers, and also replaced Anderson on the inside with Bosh.

No matter how the lineup changes, the Heat will always be unable to get rid of the fact that the interior line is weaker than the Hornets.

As soon as Wade came on the court, he immediately showed a strong attack, and the continuous impact on the basket caused a lot of impact on the Hornets, and his knees seemed to be covered by his violent impact.

"Derek! Let's change the guard! Wang Meng said decisively to Fisher.

Today's Fisher, who has the same problem as Kidd, has seen a significant decline in his level as he ages.

Although Fisher was not necessarily strong in his prime, he is now a big colander when he breaks through defensively, and he has been subjected to various things. Now Fisher is on the court, relying on the same experience as Kidd, just thousands of games of experience and an excellent three-point shot.

As soon as he switched defenses with Fisher, Fisher's defensive object became Chalmers, although Chalmers's speed Fisher may not be able to defend it, but at least it is much better than defending Wade.

On the other side, Wang Meng and Wade took the position.

"Your current level is too poor, there is no shadow of the Flash at all, are you really old?" Wang Meng looked at Wade and said lightly.

In the Heat, Wang Meng's biggest opponent is Flash Wade, although James is strong, but after all, he is not a player in the same position as Wang Meng, and the one who can really compete with Wang Meng is Wade, Wang Meng's first season was to win a championship in Wade's hands.

Wang Meng knew very well how strong Wade was at that time, the terrifying impact, the inexplicable mid-range shooting, even Wang Meng, who had a full version of the instant explosion, it was difficult to take more advantage from Wade.

But the current Wade is too much worse than Wade two years ago, the knee injury has greatly reduced his impact power, and a flash without speed is still powerful? The only thing he can rely on now is his punctual mid-range shooting, which is also an important reason why Wade's statistics have dropped significantly.

"No, it's not up to you." Wade smiled slightly, and there was a very dangerous aura in his eyes.

Wang Meng understood this look, which was a precursor to Wade's desperate efforts. Wang Meng's words, for a 30-year-old veteran like Wade also has a certain lethality, at Wade's age, the most taboo is to say that he is older than others, and he can't play, in fact, 30 years old is still the peak of a player, especially defender players, generally around 32 to 33 years old, physical function will decline significantly, and the average data per game will decline to a certain extent. Like Kobe, he is now 34 years old, and he will be a full 35 years old at the beginning of the new season, but due to his style of play, he can still maintain a pretty good form.

Since the playoffs, Wade has always listened to the dissatisfaction and speculation of various people around him about his performance, Wade hates this feeling very much, this group of guys, it's not that they don't know that they are injured, they always question that they are old and can't keep their original state, these voices keep coming and going in Wade's ears, as annoying as flies, and now, these words are coming from Wang Meng's ears, Wade suddenly felt a little unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

"What are you kidding?! Will I be old? Perhaps! But definitely not now! Wade roared angrily in his heart, his body suddenly accelerated, and he rushed past Wang Meng's side.

"Huh?" Wade's speed surprised Wang Meng a little, perhaps because of the anger that made Wade forget the pain for a while, the speed he showed at the moment was almost infinitely close to his peak period, Wang Meng was caught off guard, and was slightly pulled away by Wade.

Wade took advantage of this gap to accelerate into the interior line.

"I am who I am! I'm The Flash! What old! There is no state! None of them are possible in front of me! Wade held the basketball with both hands, jumped up in two steps, this jump was very high, Wade felt that he had never jumped so high this year, he raised the basketball with both hands and dunked it down fiercely towards the basket. I'm going to use my performance! Tell everyone! I, Wade, am still at the top, and I still can't stop it! At this moment, Wade's momentum has risen to the peak, and a domineering dunk is about to be completed.

But at this moment. "Smack!" A crisp sound came into Wade's ears, accompanied by a huge force from the basketball in both hands, Wade had already grabbed the basketball very hard with both hands, but under this force, he still couldn't hold it, and the basketball flew out of his hands.

The basketball that flew out did not stop, but continued to fly forward at a fast speed, smashed on the rebound, and then rebounded straight back, from the strength of the rebound of the basketball, Wade could clearly feel how huge the power of the basketball was.

"How is this possible!" Wade was a little dumbfounded, and slapped the basketball away from his hands, and the basketball still had such a terrifying flight speed, which shows how powerful this beat is. "Is it Wang Meng?" Due to the lack of physical collision, Wade, who did not complete the dunk, landed safely, and at the same time as he landed, Wade immediately turned his head to look back, and as Wade expected, behind him was Wang Meng, who had just landed from the air.

"Hey, hey." Seeing Wade looking at himself, Wang Meng smiled at Wade, and at the same time he was very excited in his heart, the instant explosion that increased his power by 20% felt different, it was so cool!

Kebei looked at twenty percent, although it was not as good as the full version of Wang Meng's original instant explosion, but the power of this instant burst should not be underestimated, the cover just now, if it was an ordinary Wang Meng, although it could also be covered, but it definitely did not have that shocking power.

The rebounding basketball flew directly out of the three-point line and was picked up by Ray Allen on the outside, Ray Allen did not pause at all, and immediately raised his hand to throw the basket, and the basketball hit into the basket, but the Heat players did not have much excitement in their hearts, especially Wade, who finally broke through Wang Meng, and was blocked like this, and the mood was a little worse than before.

Three points, on the basketball court is not particularly important, on the court, the most important thing is the momentum of a team, the reason why there are a lot of dunks in basketball games, it is because dunks can well drive the momentum of the team, compared to dunks, the block is undoubtedly more momentum, even if this block finally assists the Heat to shoot a three-pointer in disguise, but in front of the Hornets who have skyrocketed because of the block, this three points are really a little small.
