Chapter 744: Equal
Bang!
Mario Chammos threw a mid-range jumper near the free-throw line, and even though he had shaken off Stephen Nash's defense, the shot was still a little shorter.
Dwight Howard struggled to grab the rebound, but it was still a little bit short, Blake Griffin took the rebound, and then handed it to Stephen Nash.
After Stephen Nash took control of the basketball, he moved forward steadily, methodically, and did not have the slightest intention of suddenly hitting the run.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Xiao Po is still running wildly, and he is messing up the Heat's defensive system. But it didn't work very well, because the Heat's side of the defense is quite mobile, from the second position to the fifth position can be changed at will, and the defensive ability of Cinmos is actually above the level.
Therefore, in the face of such a team that can change defenses infinitely, the slick running effect is not so obvious.
Bang!
Byron Davis' jumper missed the basket, Dwight picked up the rebound, and the Heat moved forward with the ball steadily.
They also kept the tempo slow and didn't execute their league-leading defensive counter-attack.
In the frontcourt, the basketball was handed to LeBron James.
LeBron James launched a sprint against Xiao Xiao's defense outside the three-point line, Xiao Xiao has always been with him, whether it is speed or confrontation, Xiao Xiao is not weaker than LeBron James, and because of the advantage of being shorter, he can create a greater threat to LeBron James's dribbling...... Who knows when he'll reach for the ball?
When LeBron James led the slick defense to the free throw line, he hurriedly handed it to Chris Bosh, who shook his way and made a jumper...... Bang!
Basketball is also iron, and it was Jeffries who grabbed the rebound.
Then, the basketball was handed to Davis, and the Clippers played at a slow pace.
The style of play of both teams tends to be slower and more focused on defense.
Therefore, the game did not look very good on the screen, and the score rose extremely slowly.
After nearly six minutes of play, the score was 8:9. The Heat took a one-point lead, and the Clippers called a timeout.
"Both sides played very patiently tonight, the Heat didn't play defensive counterattacks, the Clippers didn't get into the run-and-roll, and they didn't even intervene in the offense. If this continues, the total score of the game may not exceed 70 points in the end. ”
The TV commentator commented worriedly: "I thought it would be the best Finals matchup, but I didn't expect them to play an ugly game that was even uglier than the Spurs vs. Pistons back then." At this time, Xiao Hua should be crying in the office, this is not the finals he wants. ”
"Of course, it's not the finals that the fans want to see, and I guess everyone is starting to get sleepy."
They're making fun of the game.
The timeout ended quickly, and the Clippers took the lead in changing the lineup, and the change was complete, becoming the point guard of the new lineup, partnering Michael Petrus, Jamario Jeffrey, Glenn Davis, and Daco Milisic.
Four up and four down.
"Xiao Shi is going to further expand the defense."
Commentators commented worriedly that, in their opinion, the game was going to turn into the most thorough defensive battle. They all thought that without DeAndre Jordan, the Clippers would definitely run away. Who knows, Xiao Sao is once again unexpected.
However, this is not the case. Although Xiao Xiao changed three defensive giants, they played a dynamic offensive concept, Xiao Xiao began to sprint to the Heat's box with the ball, and under his arbitrary cut, the Heat's defense inevitably slackened, and then he began to pass, and then Petrus hit an unguarded mid-range.
There's no way around it.
If LeBron James's breakthrough is S-level, passing is A+ level, mid-range jumper is A-level, and three-point projection is B-level, then Xiao Squeng's rating should be, breakthrough S-level, passing S-level, mid-range jumper A+, three-point long-range shooting S-level. When an offense can create a threat in every position and can pass the ball to an open teammate in the first place, you can't defend.
As the Clippers took the lead in changing their offensive routine, the Heat also quickly changed, and after Petrus hit a shot, they immediately launched a quick counterattack, James and Wade were running hard, and with Xiao and Jeffries and Petrus all ran back to defend for the first time, but they still seized the opportunity to create a layup opportunity for Chris Bosh who cut in the air.
Swish!
When a team has four of the league's top 10 superstars at the same time, you don't really know which one to defend, and that's a bug.
The Heat and Clippers each have their own bugs and strengths.
So, they quickly reached a balance on the offensive end, you go back and forth with each other, you and me, it's not lively.
At the end of the first quarter, at 25:25, the two sides were tied.
Both teams are evenly matched both defensively and offensively.
This kind of flamboyance is undoubtedly the most attractive weapon for the audience, because in addition to the home team fans, it is difficult for passers-by fans to be attracted to the one-sided audience, because who wants to watch the things that already know the results? Or is this kind of suspenseful, all kinds of wits and courage games more exciting.
"Now the victory point between the two teams is between the Clippers and the Big Four, and if the Clippers play better, then the Clippers win. And if the Big Four play stronger, the Heat win the game. It's as simple as that, it's up to the superstars to decide! Shaq O'Neal was serious about it, and it was rare for him to give his opinion in a serious way, and it was clear that the match had captured his full attention.
"I still think the Clippers have a better chance of winning, and although the Big Four are the Big Four, they are not completely connected, which is their disadvantage. And although Xiao Xiao is only one person, he can do whatever he wants, he is very comfortable. "There are no surprises on Charles Barkley, who has always been determined to stand behind the show when it comes to picking sides.
"I also agree with Charles, because Xiao can still solve the battle with crazy projection in the fourth quarter." Kenny Smith also stood on the side of Xiao Shi, since he lost the three million, he did not plan to continue to be the enemy of Barkley, as if the knot in his heart was untied at once, he stood on Xiao Shi's side with great determination.
"But what if under the defensive pressure of the Big Four, Xiao Sao unleashed his ultimate move in the first three quarters? Will the Clippers be able to hold on to the advantage until the end? It's the Big Four. "Shackle O'Neal chose the Heat, after all, he was teammates with Dwyane, Wade and LeBron James.
Both sides have their own arguments, and in fact there is no way to say for sure which team will emerge victorious, because there is no difference in the odds.
The second quarter of the game began quickly.
Both sides have a tacit understanding and no substitutions, still continuing the previous style of play, and the game is as anxious as ever, and both sides seem to be very patient.
Xiao Sprinkle scored points again and again here and brushed up the assist data by the way, and the Big Four over there were also you singing and I appeared, and it was like Sanying vs. Lu Bu...... No, it's the Four Heroes Battle Lu Bu.
Xiao is very experienced, and he successfully proved to the opposite four why he is the scoring champion and why he is the first in the league.
After halftime, Xiao's personal data came to an astonishing 41 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, of which the Clippers' total score was only 59 points, which means that the Clippers had nothing to do with Xiao on a total of six points.
What an amazing personal ability.
Even the Big Four of the Heat standing across from him must admit that the gap between them and Xiao is visible to the naked eye, and nothing else is needed to prove it.
Although they entered the playoffs with a one-point lead at this time, they knew that it was entirely due to the joint efforts of the four of them, and all four of them played well tonight. Otherwise... Maybe it's yourself who is lagging behind.
"It's so terrifying." In the locker room, Dwyanwade couldn't help but look imposing.
LeBron James didn't speak, and this game made him soberly realize the fact that he was forever out of the ranks of competing for the first place in the league with Xiao Spur, and now all he can do is to defend the second place in the league.
Moreover, his pursuit is no longer the number one in the league, and he feels that the championship is the most important thing. He can't sit back and watch a tragedy like last year, where he became a complete joke and if he doesn't win the championship this year, he'll be a joke within a joke...... Even a joke in the history of the NBA.
LeBron James's psychological pressure at this time is undoubtedly the heaviest among the four, because he came to Miami with a reputation for betrayal, and his behavior at the peak of the huddle has been despised by fans all over the world, and he can only use a championship to complete the redemption of himself.
However, because of his humble existence, his road to salvation is incomparably long.
However, now there is no way back for him. The arrival of Dwight Howard made the Heat stronger than ever, and supplemented the last shortcoming, if they still can't win the championship when they qualify, then... I don't have the shame to see anyone.
Xiao can't relate to LeBron James' redemption pressure, but he also has his pressure.
Even if you lose the finals, there are still plenty of reasons to find. For example, this is the first win of the return to the Clippers, such as the absence of DeAndre Jordan, such as the run-in between teammates is not good enough, such as the strength of teammates is not as strong as the opponent.
In short, there are always so many reasons. However, there is only one overall winner!
Xiao wants a championship, not a reason for failure.
The pursuit of victory has always been a one-way street with no way out, and since you have already embarked on this road, then go all the way to the end, and those who give themselves a way out are always cowards.
Xiao Shi has never put a coward's hat on himself, and this time, of course, will not be an exception.
In the locker room, he didn't use sensational words to mobilize the emotions of his teammates, let alone fight for his teammates, he just sat there quietly and ate roast duck.
This is how he uses to replenish his strength.
He was eating quietly, and the other players were also quietly thinking about things, and this quietness did not lower the morale of the Clippers, but made them more combative.
After all, the Clippers' roster is made up of veterans and defensive players. Veterans desperately need a championship ring to declare their careers perfect, and defenders tend to be the more tenacious group of people who are always on the path to challenge superstars, and although they often fail, after each defeat, they continue to throw a resolute back to the world and continue to fight!
The second half of the game came quickly, and Xiao Sao finally changed to a run-and-gun lineup this time, with JJ Redick, Dakomilicic and Blake Griffin on the court, and of course Stephen Nash in control.
When the game started, the Clippers were running at a frantic pace.
The Heat's defense is very fast, but Stephen Nash is too experienced, he is a two-time regular season MVP winner, and the person who can win the MVP will not become transparent when it matters most.
At his instigation, Blake Griffin began to fly like Amarestad Mayer in his prime, and JJ Redick showed his self-respecting shooter instinct in the NCAA.
Milicic continues to give his light and heat on the defensive line, and of course on the offensive end, he can occasionally make a few brilliant hand-to-hand passes.
As for chic, it's everywhere. He's like a screw that he can fill wherever he needs to.
The Clippers' offense was led by Stephen Nash, and the Heat also played flashy offense, and the two teams went into a mercury-like battle from the start of the second half.
This shocked the fans, and this is really the best and strongest NBA matchup in a decade.
Defensively, offensively, they did it to the extreme.
And, it's really comparable! The strength is in between.
The Clippers ran for eight minutes with Stephen Nash in charge.
Drip!
The Heat called a timeout.
At this point, the Knicks were just 4 points ahead.
At such a fast pace, four points is not a huge point difference, and it may be possible to recover it in fifteen seconds.
However, Pat Riley's experience has taught him that it is time to settle the tempo, so he instructed manager Spoelstra to call a timeout.
He really deserves to be the iron-blooded head of the NBA, his thoughts are thought of with Xiao Sa, and Xiao Sa doesn't plan to continue to run like this.
It's time to close this tail with a wave of iron-blooded defense.
Similarly, the Heat are doing this kind of tactical arrangement.
A flashy offense is always just a work of art, and an iron-blooded defense is the key to victory.
