Li Yang ran forward with the ball, James had to quickly retreat to defense, and then cautiously stared at Li Yang who rushed forward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not only James, after seeing Li Yang advance with the ball and launch a counterattack, all the Heat players nervously accelerated the retreat, Li Yang's impact power, they had already seen it in the previous game.
After rushing to the three-point line, Li Yang shook out of James's defense to break through space, and then rushed to the basket with the ball, which immediately caused the Heat's defense to shrink sharply.
Attracted a double bag, the ball in Li Yang's hand was immediately thrown out and sent to Danny Green outside the three-point line.
Green's three-point shot in these games is too accurate, so this game belongs to the Heat's focus on defense, and after seeing Green take the ball, the Heat players immediately pounced.
And at this time, Green also passed the ball, and Leonard was at the top of the arc.
"Huh!"
After receiving the ball, he made a steady shot, and Leonard hit a three-point shot.
7:0, less than two minutes after the start of the game, the Spurs played a wave of 7:0, which immediately lowered the atmosphere that was originally frenzied because of the start of the game.
Coming to the other side, the Heat's offense is finally no longer handed over to James to break through, obviously, they can also see that Li Yang is smashing James today, and it is not easy to find a breakthrough from this point.
Wade controlled the ball and Bosh broke through to block and break, and when Leonard shrank to the basket to defend, Wade passed the ball to Mike Miller on the perimeter.
Miller received the ball and shot directly into three points, in the past two games, although Miller started, but the offense did not play well, especially in the previous game did not score a point, but back at home, Miller seemed to find a feeling, three-point shot directly hit.
Seeing Miller shoot a three-pointer, Heat fans at this time finally found a reason to cheer.
The Spurs attacked, fell into the positional attack, and the Spurs also played a blocking tactic at this time. Duncan and Parker played a pick-and-roll, and after Parker broke through and led Bosh's defense, the ball went directly to Duncan.
After catching the ball, he glanced at the direction of the basket, and Duncan shot the ball at a 45-degree angle and hit the board!
The Spurs hit all the first four shots, and such an excellent state made the fans on the scene extremely worried, but fortunately, at this time, Bosh also hit a goal, at least so that the difference between the two sides did not continue to widen.
The Spurs attacked, and Duncan responded with the ball high post, but neither Danny Green nor Parker had too good catch-and-shoot opportunities at this time.
At this time, Li Yang habitually ran to Duncan to catch the ball, and behind him was James.
At this time, James obviously did not despise Li Yang, seeing Li Yang running to the high position to receive the ball, he immediately followed closely, and even when Li Yang received Duncan's pass and was about to rush to the left, he also chose to squeeze past Duncan, instead of shrinking to the rear defense, just to be able to keep up with the defense.
Li Yang, who received the ball, was about to bypass Duncan's body, when he found that James was also squeezing from the upper line, and his heart suddenly moved, and he smashed the ball on the floor while his body turned flexibly, and he had turned to the right side again.
Li Yang's trick was learned from Parker and Ginobili recently, but it was wonderful to use it here at this time, James was still trying to squeeze past Duncan, but the next moment, he found that the figure in front of him flashed, and Li Yang was gone.
James, who had come back to his senses, was busy turning around to follow, but at this time, the experienced Duncan would let him get his wish. Directly pushing forward, Duncan pushed James to the upper line.
"Chris, make up the defense!"
At this time, James knew that he could no longer keep up with Li Yang, so he could only shout to remind Bosh to defend.
In fact, Bosh also found out that Li Yang had taken the ball to the basket at this time, but it was one thing to know it, and it was another thing to be able to stop it.
After turning around, he accelerated, and Li Yang rushed directly past Bosh, who had an excellent movement speed among interior players, which was completely inadequate for Li Yang.
"Bang!"
Rushing into the inner line, Li Yang directly slammed his hands to end the attack!
Li Yang's attack finally stimulated James, received the ball from the backcourt, and James rushed to the front court with the ball and directly forced Li Yang.
Such a strong burst is destined to have a lot of physical contact, and James also made up his mind to complete an offense at this time, and forcibly squeezed Li Yang into the basket, although he missed the layup under Li Yang's interference, but he got a foul.
Watching James walk to the free throw line, Li Yang pouted, his ball was actually very clean, and there was no obvious foul action, but the referee still blew it, who let this be the home of the Heat.
James hit one of two free throws, but that didn't change the fact that under Li Yang's desperate defense, his offense was completely blocked after the opening.
Although James hit the free throw in this round, however, in the next two or three rounds, James was not able to please Li Yang's defense, once he got rid of Li Yang's defense with the help of blocking and dismantling, but in the face of Duncan's defense, he also found an offensive opportunity, and the pass was almost stealed by Li Yang.
For the Heat, James is pestered by Li Yang and can't play too well on the offensive end, which is bad news. The good news is that both Mike Miller and Chalmers were in good offensive form this game, and both hit a three-pointer each, which also kept the Heat from falling behind too much in the score.
At 16:12, the first quarter of the game played for nearly 6 minutes, and the Spurs' shooting rate began to come down in this period, on the one hand, the Heat's defense has been strengthened, and on the other hand, after the Heat's offense is completed, the Spurs have fewer opportunities to counterattack.
The Spurs attacked, Parker controlled the ball and fell into the half, still playing with Duncan. With Duncan's pick-and-roll, Parker dribbled directly to the basket, and after the Heat's defense shrank slightly, he immediately passed the ball to Danny Green on the perimeter.
Outside the three-point line, Green took a shot directly after receiving the ball. However, the Heat's defense against him in this game was significantly strengthened, and in the face of the Heat's players' save, Danny Green's shot bounced out of the basket.
The ball bounced high, Bosh and James stayed inside and waited for the basketball to fall, Bosh stuck Duncan, but James did not jam Li Yang.
One step inside the three-point line, Li Yang suddenly started to rush forward, quickly hit the basket, and squeezed directly into the middle of Bosh and James.
"Not good, rebound!"
James and Bosh suddenly noticed a Spurs player popping out of their side, and immediately reacted, the two were busy getting up and down to pick up rebounds, but they were still a step too slow.
"Smack!"
Jumping high in the middle of the two giants of the Heat, Li Yang held the basketball with both hands.
Li Yang grabbed the rebound and landed, James and Bosh immediately stepped forward, clamped Li Yang tightly in the middle, and tried to directly force the ball down.
However, Li Yang's reaction was far faster than the two imagined, and when the two of them came over, Li Yang's hands holding the ball had quickly poked out of James's waist.
In the process of rushing forward to grab the rebound, Li Yang saw Duncan's position, so after landing, he knew that he was about to fall into a pinch, so he immediately passed the ball in his hand.
"Young grabbed the frontcourt rebound between the two Heat players, a beautiful pass, and Tim ...... Bang!
After receiving Li Yang's pass, Duncan did not have any players in front of him, took a step forward, and Duncan grabbed the ball with one hand and dunked it into the basket!
"Bang!" The moment Duncan dunked the ball into the basket, the entire basketball hoop shook slightly, showing the power of Duncan's ball, and it was clear that Duncan had no reservations in this game!
"Tim, nice buckle!"
Looking at Li Yang who high-fived and celebrated with Duncan, James's eyes flickered, this game can be said to be completely beyond his expectations, Duncan had 3 shots and 3 hits before this, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he found that after the game started, Li Yang's performance and limelight completely overshadowed him.
"Can't let this guy go on like this anymore!"
James secretly thought in his heart, especially after coming to the offensive end and being stopped by Li Yang again and forced to pass, James immediately made up his mind. (To be continued.) )
