Chapter 931: Substitute Warriors
As it turned out, the Heat weren't as skilful as Nelson Sr. had guessed, and the pride of the days, after all, had just become teammates in the summer, and their run-in was largely based on in-house training and a few preseason games, which may have produced some chemistry, but nowhere near enough to bring their amazing talent together.
This is also in the expectation of Heat fans, they are not actually expecting their team to win the championship in the first season of the Big Three combined, this season their task is to accompany the prince to study, of course, it would be better if they could mess with the Warriors' championship.
The Warriors are now a thorn in the side of any team that wants to win a championship, and they want to destroy them as quickly as possible.
The Warriors could lose, they couldn't have won 82 games in a row in a season, but it had to not be this one, because they had just picked up their championship rings before the game, how could they come back and lose? Chamberlain couldn't afford to lose this man.
In the second quarter, the old Nelson made a full change, and this time even Carter was off the court, replaced by Ibaka, Jamison, George, Curry, and Iverson.
George defends James, he has only seen James games on TV before, even if he goes to watch it live, it is a fan and not a player, and now he is opposite James, and this unlucky kid only knows why the flowers are so red.
The Heat team was led by James, Miller Sr. and Chammos controlled the perimeter, and the opening game was Miller Sr. pulling away from outside the three-point line and passing the ball to James.
James was also uncomfortable against Jackson, whose kraft gum defense made it difficult for him to catch the ball, and that's what limited him.
George's defensive potential is greater than Jackson's, but he's still a rookie, and it's self-defeating to let James catch the ball.
James got the ball in his hand and pushed forward like a bulldozer, but he pushed George ********, and when he lowered his center of gravity to stop his body to defend, James suddenly changed direction to break through, and when he passed George, he accelerated and rushed in, and he came with a magnificent dunk.
The momentum of this dunk was very strong, and James roared at George after he landed, his face was hideous and murderous, and he intended to leave a psychological shadow on George.
As is customary, James roared: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!" ”
George's face was loyal, but in fact it was thick and dark, he pouted and said: "What are you pretending to be, do you have a kind of going to the top of Chamberlain's head to buckle one, and you still have a face after deducting a rookie?" You call it again, you go to ABC and BBC to broadcast to the world, you say you detain a rookie who has just entered the NBA! ”
James had nothing to say for a moment, and he realized that this damn rookie had a lot of point, and there was nothing to refute.
Curry took the ball from Ibaka and ran down, grinning and saying, "LeBron, are you going to speak to the world again?" Don't use ESPN to use ABC and BBC this time? ”
James wants to kill these little bunnies so much, it's really a pot that can't be opened, George is already poisonous enough, but Curry's words are really heart-wrenching.
Curry's words mean that James broadcast his decision to the United States live through the ESPN last summer, and I have to say that it was the stupidest thing James has ever done since he entered the NBA.
Looking back, when LeBron James replied to his destination with "Miami" on ESPN's live broadcast, he was so beautiful at that time, it is estimated that in the hearts of his fans, he was the real emperor at that time.
But others obviously don't think so, take the little emperor's godfather NBA commissioner David Stern as an example, he later said "I'm willing to give LeBron some opinion in advance" when talking about this live show that was widely considered a "show", but James obviously has no intention of talking to the president, he is the emperor, he makes decisions, and no one else needs to interject.
Even godfathers can't understand it, let alone anyone else.
There is no doubt that people who can't feel James's deep domineering will naturally stand on the opposite side of James, and "betrayal" and "fooling" are just textual counterattack weapons. Miami's comfortable sunshine, who knows who knows the general trend of the NBA in the new season, has its own enemies of the Heat.
George's defensive leakage against James was frequent, and the current lineup was not suitable for defense, and James became the Heat's leading scorer in the early second quarter.
first broke through the dunk, and then he and Miller came to a cooperation, Miller covered, James broke through, George and Curry were subconsciously pulled inward by James - this is no way, Curry must go to the trap, even if he knows that this will let Miller go.
After encountering the bag, James did not attack strongly, and passed Miller back to the ball, and Miller got up and down with his hand, and scored three points!
Hill Nelson called a timeout to replace George, and he said, "Boss, this is not appropriate, Paul's little guy will be abused by LBJ, shouldn't you protect him?" ”
Nelson Sr. is very patient with Hill, he is about to retire, and he wants to train a successor, a Hill and a Billups, who are his most optimistic people, but Billups went to the Clippers, and it seems that he will not retire in three or four years, so he plans to pass the mantle to Hill.
This is Hill's last season in the NBA, and he has already decided to retire after this season.
Hill entered the NBA in 1994, his 18th season in the NBA! And he was born in 1972 and will be 40 years old soon!
No one expected Hill to play in the NBA for 18 seasons until he was 40 years old, thinking about the double happiness year, Hill's ankle injury was so severe, many people thought he would retire at that time, but he was stunned and persevered for another ten years.
Similarly, no one thought that Hill, who entered the NBA as Jordan's successor, would be such a lack of achievement when he retired.
Old Nelson smiled slightly and said, "That little rookie's psychological endurance will be beyond your expectations, Grant, take a good look, what he needs is not protection, but carving and polishing." Larry Bird, that guy has a really hard time, if I didn't know that he had to choose this kid, I really wouldn't have cut off my beard! ”
James carried the offensive banner of the Heat, just like he did when he was with the Cavaliers, Caesar the Great, who held the ball in his hand and controlled the seal, dominated the world.
Under the control of the little emperor, the Heat counterattacked smoothly, and a wave of 9-0 climax chased the score to 45-48.
This made Chamberlain anxious, and old Nelson was unmoved, and he didn't even call a timeout, he smiled: "Believe your comrades-in-arms, don't you know how powerful they are?" ”
Iverson has been running back and forth on the court, and he will hand over several offenses to Curry and Ibaka, who he knows will be the pillars of the team in the future and good helpers for Chamberlain, and he is about to retire, so he will try to develop new players as much as possible.
But when his teammates couldn't open the situation, he no longer kept a low profile behind the scenes, and attacked again, Iverson stepped up, he asked for the ball from Curry, and shouted: "The ball doesn't play like this, look at it, watch my demo ......"
As the words fell, Iverson turned into a sharp arrow and broke through Chanmos with speed, but after rushing into the three-point line a few steps later, he suddenly dropped his rhythm, staggered his legs and changed direction under his hips, pulled his forward posture, and rose from the ground to open his offensive curtain with a precise pull-up jump shot.
Chammos was in a lot of pain today, first he was taught a lesson by Carter, and this time it was Iverson's turn, two of the former big four quarterbacks needed him to face.
But Iverson's defense was already very problematic, and Chammos pushed in with his strength, and he was a little unable to withstand it.
Chammos passed the ball to James, and the little emperor made a gesture to Miller to divert Curry away, and he turned around and shot, forcing George to shoot from a distance.
He underestimated George, this guy's body made old Nelson laugh for days, and in the face of James's unscrupulous shooting, he jumped up and gave the little emperor a big hat.
Iverson turned and ran, he had already seen Jamison go to grab the ball, and Chanmos lacked this awareness, and even ran out to grab the ball, knowing that he was far enough away from the ball.
Jamison picked up the ball, turned around and staggered the outstretched arm of Chanmoss, at this time there was only one Iverson in the front court, thousands of miles of smooth road, leading to the sky!
Jamison shook his hand to pass the ball, Iverson received the ball and ran to the basket, after accumulating strength, he took a deep breath, trampled on the floor with both feet, and his thin body flew up with a 'whoosh', he grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it above his head, and pressed down his wrist to dunk.
Iverson laughed after the dunk, and the crowd erupted with shrill whistles and loud cheers, a scene that had not been seen in a long time as he got older.
Si Shuai paced anxiously off the field, and the defense of the players on the field made him very unhappy, which was simply nonsense.
James also lacks respect for Shuai, he can't trust the young Filipino coach at all, and if it weren't for Riley, even if Anthony, Bosh and Wade were all in the Heat, he wouldn't have come.
Mike Brown has done too much damage to James, and the little emperor knows that if a country lacks an excellent national teacher, then the country does not want to build a dynasty.
Si Shuai called a timeout, he redeployed his tactics, James frowned and listened, and quickly understood that this head coach actually has no real material, at most it is Brown's grade, and the gap between Zen master Riley and Nelson Popovich is not ordinary.
Indeed, Si Shuai's tactical arrangement was actually useless, he called a timeout, the purpose was to make substitutions, and both Bosh and Wade were substituted.
But after coming back, Iverson continued to go berserk, when the Warriors attacked, Curry missed three points, the rebound bounced out, he rushed in quickly and rushed to grab the rebound in the front court and shot directly to the basket.
Haslem hurriedly waved his hand and slapped Iverson on the hand, but the ball was already out of the way, Iverson completed a three-pointer, and the Warriors still maintained the lead.
The offense of the Big Three has not yet been run-in, but the three are very talented, Wade and James have a simple cooperation, the two have two consecutive revers, the Warriors' defense is torn and bloody, Iverson can still show some strength on the offensive end, but not when defending.
Wade lays up, James dunks, Bosh shoots, James makes a fast break, and the Heat has a small 8-0 climax, and then the old Nelson has to call a timeout.
With two and a half minutes left at the end of the first half, the Heat finally had a chance to take the lead.
Nelson Sr. arranged substitutions, Chamberlain replaced Ibaka, and the others were still fighting on the second line, he deployed tactics and came back around Chamberlain, because Chamberlain at this time had too much advantage in the face of the Heat's interior line.
Si Shuai obviously knew the old coach's intentions, and this time he also made a substitution, replacing the tall Ilgoskas on the field.
Ilgoskas came to the Heat with James in the summer, no wonder Cavaliers owner Dan Gilberg hates James so much, this guy didn't run to the Heat team by himself, and took the interior big man away.
At the beginning, Iverson broke through the ball and gave the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Ilgoskas couldn't do anything against Chamberlain, and in the finals, he was troubled by his opponent's dreamy footsteps.
Shuai arranged for Ilgoskas to go to the main defense, and Bosh flanked him, so that he did not suffer in terms of strength and footwork.
Chamberlain held Ilgoskas and looked back, and after calculating the distance to the hoop, he took a step back and turned to break into the box.
Bosh immediately defended up, and Chamberlain was waiting for this moment, leaning sideways and crossing the iron shoulders, and fiercely slammed into Bosh's thin chest.
Under the blow, Bosh was unable to resist and was knocked back, Chamberlain grabbed the fleeting fighter plane, and took a series of steps, changing the direction of attack from both flanks, and Ilgoskas had to retreat and pull away to react.
As soon as he retreated, Chamberlain suddenly roared, put away the ball with his big hand, shrank his body, and rushed towards the hoop like stepping on a spring!
Just like a B-52 bomber diving, Chamberlain's sturdy posture flew into the air, Ilgoskas didn't have time to react, and was directly ridden by Chamberlain's head and face, and Chamberlain's right arm stretched forward, violently pressed, and dunked!
