Chapter 753: The Gap

Spoelstra's vision was good, but the Pelicans' steely will continued to wield its own huge inertia, and Arenas missed the first three-pointer and then shot a second long-range shot, but this time he hit it.

The Pelicans' defense had problems, but they didn't stop on offense, and if they didn't stop the Pelicans' offense, the Heat's desire to win was tantamount to quenching their thirst.

"Now the Heat feel like they're finally coming alive tactically, and they've got their own opportunities from the outside after they've opened up LeBron's offense......"

Hubi Brown looked at the arena and said in surprise:

"I didn't think of Spoelstra gambling at all, it seems like it really can!"

"But they didn't stop the Pelicans from attacking, they didn't have a way on the defensive end, they couldn't have won the final victory."

Antoine Walker strongly disagrees with Hubbie Brown's statement, and goes on to point out the contrast:

"Now the Pelicans are still 16 points ahead of the Heat, and if the Heat can't look directly at the other team to score and then complete their own points, they have no chance to close the distance with the Pelicans, and the Pelicans' offensive success rate is very high."

"Although it seems that the success rate of the Heat's offense is very good, the offense is not reasonable and will score when there is a chance, which is a matter of chance, as if it were a lottery."

Antoine Walker has a point, even if the Heat's offense is starting to open up now, the success rate is quite good, but the Pelicans, who have taken a step, have also kept following their own rhythm step by step, and have never given the Heat a chance to catch up.

Spoelstra finally went crazy in a hurry, he suddenly changed the formation to form a tight defense Rose just received the ball from behind, Chalmers and Ray Allen hit Rose from both sides, in fact, Spoelstra's move may be more effective against other teams, but you must know that the Pelicans' point guard is Rose, who has been in the Chicago Street Court for a long time to deal with such a scene. His ball-handling skills are at work.

After a few dodges with the ball, he dodged the double defense, scurrying around like a small loach, and finally found an opportunity to quickly hand the basketball to Al Jefferson, who then received the ball and passed it directly to Millsap.

Other teams hand over basketball to the inside, and basketball has to pause, but in the Pelicans, Millsap's awareness and vision are different, allowing him to be competent enough for the role of an organization's insider.

After Millsap received the ball, a light base was suddenly passed to Li Feng, who ran to the Heat basket, and Li Feng had no chance to show his way up in the third quarter. I have been chasing LeBron, and I have wasted my body and will on chasing LeBron.

Now that he got the basketball on the inside, how could Li Feng let LeBron go lightly, Li Feng received the ball with his back, then twisted his body and then quickly turned around and raised his hand, two quick feints in a row.

After completely attracting LeBron's attention, he quickly broke through from LeBron's side, deliberately slowed down in the process of breaking through, and used his rhythm and body to lean against LeBron. The other hand is a light hook hand.

LeBron had no choice but to watch Li Feng score, and after Li Feng used the rhythm so lightly to score a low-post attack, LeBron also looked at Li Feng helplessly

But at this time, Hubby Brown was very surprised:

"Li Feng's inside footsteps just now are very beautiful, and LeBron's desperate defense didn't stop this guy. And his last little hook hand, it seems that he has also practiced this guy on purpose, although there are not many attacks today, but each one is representative enough! ”

"Yes, Li Feng's table today is very eye-catching. Although he didn't score as many points as he did with the Knicks, he just defended and worked in the system, occasionally coming out to score. But you can see and feel that the whole game has a good relationship with Li Feng's defensive quality! ”

Antoine Walker, a guy who doesn't like to defend himself, also said quickly at this time.

After Li Feng hit the small hook hand, he made a small hook gesture towards Al Jefferson a little proudly, and Al Jefferson smiled when he saw Li Feng like this.

But at this time, Spoelstra couldn't stand it, because although his team's offense was okay, but the defense was not good, the Pelicans' offensive pace continued to advance, so he immediately called a timeout.

When all the Pelicans players returned to the bench, Van Gundy looked at the opposite side of the Heat and smiled, Spoelstra are you still struggling now, then I will gently put the last link on your Heat's failure

He was anxious that after the team members gathered around him, he immediately said to all his team members:

"Guys, now it's time for us to make a move, first we have to change a little bit on the defense to come up with a 23 defense, and then we have to do a lot of offensive defense!"

After saying this, Van Gundy glanced at Millsap and was obviously a little tired, and he still had to use him in the fourth quarter, so Van Gundy said:

"Elton, you for Millsap,"

Except for Biedrins, the Pelicans are very honest people on the inside, like Millsap and Elton Brand, who are very honest and disciplined and obedient to commands, such players are originally good, but if they are too honest, they will suffer a little loss on the court, so the Pelicans lack a kind of impact on the frontcourt, lack of a savage bloody, tearing power.

Spoelstra called a timeout and originally planned to solve his own defensive problems, but when he came back, he saw that the Pelicans actually changed to a 23-in-1 defense, and the half-court, especially the bottom line, was the same as an iron bucket.

In this way, the Pelicans players have their own place, no matter how you run LeBron, how you play tricks, you still have to name the Pelicans big man in the low post, and there is no chance to pick up cheap land before.

The Heat suddenly trapped in front of the Pelicans' 23 defense, and the Heat wasted a lot of effort to send LeBron into the low post, but left LeBron alone to face Brand and Lee Feng to attack, this time he finally did not score and lost the basketball.

Seeing that the Pelicans lightly put out an iron bucket formation and protected their inner line tightly, Spoelstra sighed that today's game made Spoelstra feel as if something was pressing on his ground.

No matter how you change. The Pelicans either don't change, and once they change, they can hold themselves down steadily, which is the truest portrayal of the fact that they have just waved LeBron's destructive power out The Pelicans immediately came to a joint defense, and what else did they have to do Van Gundy is so light and simple with a simple move, he blocked all his offensive paths

Just as Spoelstra was trying to change his own lineup after the Pelicans changed lineup, the Pelicans had already begun to rampage on the Heat's position, and Li Feng sprinted the Heat's baseline to cover Al Jefferson and play attention-grabbing tricks with Brand.

Li Feng is actually not tired of playing today's game, because his main energy is spent on defending LeBron, and the main waste in this section is his foot power, because LeBron is just running under the cover. There wasn't much wrestling, and Li Feng didn't have much offense himself, so his body was still relatively abundant.

Just when Li Feng was comfortable in the Pelican system, he looked back and saw that LeBron was already sweating profusely at this time, and LeBron's demeanor looked very tired.

Li Feng saw LeBron like this, and his heart moved.

Today's LeBron is very tired, and it is quite tired, from the beginning to the present, LeBron has been resisting the Heat on his shoulders, he broke through in the first quarter, he scored quickly in the second quarter, and in the third quarter, he worked hard to play the low post, LeBron has not rested. But it has always been shouldering the heaviest task of the Heat.

If it is a smooth game, it is fortunate that it will not look so tired, but the Heat has always been pressed and beaten by the Pelicans, so the pressure in LeBron's heart has actually been very great, as if it was a mountain pressing on Spoelstra's heart and body.

Psychological and physical stress. made LeBron feel very tired, and when he ran with Li Feng, he took a big step back, and at this time, Li Feng was about to run to about the degree, and it was just a moment to steal chickens, and Li Feng yelled at Rose:

"Give me the ball!"

Li Feng yelled, Rose swept with the corner of his eye, and now Li Feng is really vacant here. So he shoved the basketball over at a rapid pace

Li Feng received the basketball, and quickly came to a scrubbing degree shot to help the Pelicans get the score, and when Li Feng shot. LeBron is still moving very slowly in the back.

At this time, even Hubbie Brown saw it and said loudly:

"LeBron looks tired, he's not in the end, it's just the third quarter, so the whole Heat can't play!"

Hubbie Brown's exclamation also made Spoelstra notice LeBron's situation, Spoelstra glanced at LeBron, and then looked at his own watch in the 7th minute of the third quarter, and he could let LeBron rest after holding on for a while, so Spoelstra was ruthless and did not let LeBron down.

If LeBron is off the court, Spoelstra still really doesn't know what to do with the current situation on the courtJust when Spoelstra was confused, Van Gundy gave Spoelstra another problem, and Bosh just put the basketball in the hands of Chalmers.

The Pelicans suddenly came to a tight defense, Rose and Arenas suddenly sandwiched Chalmers in the middle, Chalmers guarded the basketball and wanted to pass the basketball to Bosh, but as soon as the ball was shot, he felt bad, because Li Feng knew why, he didn't go with LeBron to the other half of the court at all, he was just waiting for the basketball here

As soon as Chalmers shot, Li Feng had a prediction, and then quickly stole the basketball and broke the basketball Li Feng directly posed a threat to the Heat's basket, Li Feng did not choose to dunk, and came over with an easy layup.

LeBron is really tired now, not only physically tired, but also very tired mentally and doesn't know what to do.

LeBron's psychology even comes up with such a burst of thoughts, give up, give up, but every time a little bit of this idea pops up, LeBron forcibly suppresses it, so as not to let his psychology affect his own state.

LeBron also always thought that he was in a fighting state, but twice in a row, he saw Li Feng, who was originally defending, gradually become active, a scratching jumper, and then immediately a layup, at this time LeBron understood that he couldn't keep up, so he let that guy play.

Now I really can't keep up. LeBron mustered up his strength and looked at the numbers on the scoreboard on the other side of the field, not getting much closer, they were growing together in parallel, which can only show one problem, that is, his efforts have been in vain.

Just then, Spoelstra began to yell at his teammates:

"Change tactics, change tactics, LeBron attacks from the outside, attacks from the outside."

LeBron understood what Spoelstra meant, and he saw that Li Feng had shrunk back when he was defending 23. If you are in charge of a place that belongs to you, it will be much lighter to cut in from the upper line.

This is a good way LeBron knows that Spoelstra still hasn't given up, and he shouldn't give up, that's definitely not what he should do, and that's definitely not a habit he should have, regrouped his spirits, LeBron hammered his chest, and he was ready for the final battle again.

The Pelicans' tight defense was not the norm, and after one successful shot, they didn't use it again the second time and switched back to a conservative defense. At this time, the Heat's formation is also changing, because LeBron is going to change the way he attacks, and he has to cut the basketball in from the outside of the Pelicans.

At this point, the guard is on the left side of the Pelicans' basket, while Al Jefferson is on the right. After receiving a pass from Chalmers, the Pelicans played very poorly today, except for LeBron and Ray Allen, the rest of the people did not play well. Now it is necessary to rely on LeBron to rush alone, and the pressure on LeBron is too great, if the Heat can really have one who can share the pressure of LeBron, it is best to provide low-post support.

LeBron's side will immediately have a lot easier. But at this time, when LeBron did not help the basketball from the hands of Chalmers, he had already passed the entire Heat team to LeBron's hands, and LeBron at this time seemed to be a lonely swordsman, holding the sword alone, facing many strong opponents who pounced on him.

Although he knows that he is dying, although he knows that this is just a decisive battle of will that refuses to admit defeat, there are more masters waiting for him behind these masters, but at this time, the lonely swordsman is more likely to be arrogant.

Fighting alone, this is tragic, and it is also a battle with amazing courage LeBron is tired, even if he has a superhuman body, but he is still human, he is still limited by his body and will.

The arrogance of the agitation at the moment made him swell, and then quietly lowered his head and dribbled towards the Pelicans' halfcourt, and LeBron, who was still bowing his head and rushing forward alone, seemed to be a beast, quietly approaching his prey.

Hubbie Brown says:

"LeBron received the ball from the outside this time, their gambling offense finally failed, and now they are looking to attack from the outside as before"

"That's not the point, it's not the point at all."

Antoine Walker still shook his head:

"The Heat's problem is not offensive at all, they have LeBron, and after using LeBron, the Heat basically don't have too many problems on offense, their problem is how to defend and how to organize the Pelicans to score, that's the key, Spoelstra didn't solve this problem throughout the game, that's why they've failed so far, and I look like I'm losing more and more."

"But this failure was not caused by Spoelstra, but by Van Gundy forcing Spoelstra, and Van Gundy is constantly changing the offensive posture of both sides, so that Spoelstra can only keep adjusting on the offensive end."

Hubby Brown felt that Walker's words were a bit absolute.

Then LeBron, who was quietly advancing at this time, was like a beast crouching low in the grass, the cat was bent forward step by step, he was waiting for the smell of blood, he was waiting for the last moment.

LeBron kept his eye on the right side of the Pelicans, and above the high post was Rose, who was the weakest, and he had every chance to pass him and then Al Jefferson, Li Feng, and Brand in the back.

Brand is standing in the center, with Al Jefferson on the right and Li Feng on the left, and now LeBron is willing to choose Al Jefferson and Brand to flank himself rather than let Li Feng come over, because he knows how difficult Li Feng is to deal with.

After LeBron saw the route, he suddenly activated, and he chose to cut in from the left side of Rose's ground, cut directly diagonally into the Pelicans' interior line, and attack the basket head-on

It seems that this route passes through the most defenders, but it is also between several defenses, and this route is the most suitable for you, and after careful selection, it is a violent body action.

LeBron is like a fish out of the hole, or a fierce snake attacking, all of a sudden leisurely attack, people know that LeBron is going to attack, and they are all waiting for LeBron's attack, but no one thought that LeBron's attack was so fierce and fast.

Rose's move even only touched a little corner of LeBron's clothes, and Al Jefferson didn't catch a penny from LeBron when he moved from above, so LeBron cut into the Pelicans' three-second zone lightly, and it turned out that LeBron's choice was correct, Rose had no strength to confront LeBron on the outside, and Al Jefferson couldn't get LeBron's footsteps and explosiveness on the inside.

This gap between the two people completely completed LeBron's cut and then the last link, and Brand did not move laterally enough, becoming one of the few hard injuries for the Pelicans. (To be continued......)
