Chapter 361: Is it a nemesis?

'We played a great game, we limited their offense defensively and we played what we wanted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At the post-game press conference, James, who helped the Heat win the first game, was in a very good mood talking about the game that had just ended.

After the last game, the Spurs trailed the Heat by 9 points, and because of the poor shooting from the outside, it was very worrying for Spurs fans. Everyone knows that if the Spurs don't get back to shooting from the perimeter in the second half, they're going to be completely passive.

As a result, the Spurs, who returned to the court after a halftime break, still did not find their senses, and when the Heat still paid great attention to outside defense after the start of the second half, Green and Li Yang missed shots one after another.

In this case, the Spurs could only attack the interior more through cooperation, and although the first few rounds worked well, then when the Heat chose to shrink the defense, the Spurs' plan to attack the interior was affected.

The Spurs' offense was greatly limited because they couldn't shoot on the outside and were heavily defended on the inside, and the Heat on the other end, who had been holding back for a whole year because of last year's Finals loss, were completely out of shape in this game, and their shooting outside the three-point line was hot.

In the third quarter of the game, the difference between the two teams widened by 21 points, although the Spurs narrowed the difference to only 18 points before the end of the third quarter, but this situation is also difficult to see the Spurs' hope of winning.

After the start of the fourth quarter, after trying to force the half of the game, Popovich decisively chose to give up the game, allowing the main players to save their strength and prepare for the next game.

In the whole game, the score was 113-96, and the Spurs lost to the Heat by 17 points, and there was a scene at this time when James was talking about the game just finished at the press conference.

"After last year's Finals, we have been motivating ourselves to get back to the Finals, and although we had ups and downs in the regular season this season, we have come out stronger in the playoffs and we hope to make up for last year's regrets and get back what we lost!"

When James said all this firmly, the flashing lights of the reporters in the audience kept turning on, and under the illumination of the flash, James at this time seemed extremely high-spirited.

In the Spurs press conference after the Heat, whether it was Popovich, Duncan, Ginobili, or Li Yang, they all expressed their regret for the loss of this game.

"We had terrible outside shooting, we missed a lot of shots that we should have shot in the past, but tonight the basket seemed to help us add a cover. ”

Li Yang said a little helplessly, the whole team's outside shooting feel very bad today, including himself, he shot 0 of 2 outside the three-point line today.

"But we're not worried, we have a lot of good shooters on our team and we're able to get back to shooting like we've been doing this season. ”

Although it is a pity for the loss of the game, Li Yang also seems neither humble nor arrogant at this time.

Indeed, the morale of the Spurs team has not been affected because of this game, the hand feeling is not good, this can be adjusted, the Spurs' attack power on the outside, the Spurs players know very well, so although it is a pity, but they are really not too worried about the next game.

It's just that the outside world obviously doesn't think so, and the Spurs, who played with the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, lost to the Heat by 17 points in the first game of the Finals, which made those media reporters explode.

"The Heat beat the Spurs by 17 points, and Zhan Huang said that he would take revenge"

"Without a French sports car, the Spurs can't beat the Heat"

"Magical Yang Encounters Nemesis, Confrontation with Emperor Zhan is no longer magical"......

It is enough to see everything from the headlines of these media, especially for many media who like to speak from the data, in this game, the Spurs' bad outside line is one reason, and Li Yang's limitation by James and the Heat is another reason.

In this game, Li Yang was criticized for two reasons, one was his assist, Li Yang only gave 3 assists in the whole game, which in the eyes of the media, this is obviously inconsistent with his identity as a guest starting point guard.

On the other hand, although Li Yang scored 19 points in the first half, the team trailed by 9 points at halftime, and it was also because the Heat focused on outside defense. In the second half of the game, because of the Heat's contraction of the defense in the second half, Li Yang's scoring and shooting rate plummeted, Li Yang only scored 7 points in the second half, but only 2 of 6 shots, and 3 points came from free throws.

So even if Li Yang scored a team-high 26 points, he was still considered by these media reporters to be an important reason for the Spurs' loss.

"Obviously, against LeBron, who has excellent physical fitness and defensive ability, Young's offense is very limited, his scoring efficiency in the three-second zone has decreased, and his passing is not as lethal as in the Western Conference Finals. ”

"Young's biggest problem is that he relies too much on breakaway scoring when he has the ball, his shooting after holding the ball is not very effective, and his pull-up jump shot is not stable, although he has a good shooting percentage this season, and even a good three-point shooting percentage, but this is more dependent on open three-point shooting. So in the latter game of the Western Conference Finals, it's almost hard to see Young shoot a three-pointer because once he has the ball in his hands, he's going to think about rushing to the basket. ”

"Against the Thunder, Young can still use his excellent physical fitness and breakthrough ability to enter the interior to complete the score, but LeBron's physical and defensive ability is not comparable to Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, and Young's breakthrough ability will be greatly affected in LeBron's defensive alignment, especially when he still has the ball in his hand, it is difficult to break through LeBron's defense. ”

"The Spurs will still have this problem in the next game, and if Young is less powerful to break through the interior, he won't be able to contain the defense and then help his teammates create opportunities like he did in the Western Conference Finals. So unless Tony Parker returns, their playmaking offense will still suffer. ”

After "Hoop World" issued this report, it immediately attracted a lot of approval from the outside world, because it is true that in the game, when Li Yang holds the ball, he prefers to rush into the inside line to score.

This season, although Li Yang's shooting rate in the middle and long distance shooting is not bad, but it is limited to the outside catch shot, when Li Yang holds the ball to face the defense, his shooting rate is not very high, many times, Li Yang even if he is a stop-and-go jump shot, he likes to rush to the three-second area to complete.

So, in the eyes of the outside world, Li Yang, who likes to break through, faced James with excellent physical fitness, as if he had met a nemesis.
