Although the 2011~2012 season was a shortened season, the first game of the finals was very popular, and 16 million viewers in Amelica chose to watch this year's finals on ABC channel.

Unlike traditional teams in the past, both the Thunder and the Heat rely more on the perimeter, and the two sides play somewhat similarly, often relying on the individual ability of the stars to solve problems.

And in 2012, the 5-small lineup is also a rare tactic!

At present, most teams in the league are still pursuing big men, but the tallest of the Heat team with 5 players on the court is 2.06 meters LeBron James, this contrarian configuration is indeed very eye-catching.

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, head coach Spo stood on the sidelines frowning, a little different from what he expected before the game, and although the Heat's role players played very well on the outside, the situation on the court was still very anxious.

In the second half of the first quarter, LeBron James hit the iron on the outside, while Sean Battier took advantage of James' breakthrough and hit three 3-pointers in a row from the outside.

Chalmers also performed well, with 1:02 left in the first quarter of the game, he hit the iron for the first time outside the three-point line, at which time Li Ze had been substituted, and when he saw the turtle receiving the long rebound, he immediately rushed across the half court with a roar, and immediately got up and waved the towel in his hand.

After Chris Bosh replaced Haslem, the Heat's one-big and four-small lineup continued to be mobile defensively, and successfully contained the Thunder's transition offense through rapid retreat.

In the remaining rounds of the first quarter of the game, both sides played two irons each, and the Russian fans at the scene were completely relieved, and at 29:28, the Heat temporarily led the Thunder with the excellent play of role players.

"Coach Spo's small man lineup performed very well on the offensive end, facing the Thunder's 23 joint defense, although James and Wade had an average outside touch, Battier was 3 of 3 outside and Chalmers was 3 of 4, and the two contributed 17 points!"

On the commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy began to sing praises for Coach Spo, and commentator Mike Brin praised the performance of Li Ze and Durant:

"The Heat are 5 of 6 from the outside, but the Thunder are also very good, Kayce is 1 of 2 from the outside and has 7 points, and Durant is 2 of 3 with 10 points, I don't know if the Heat will maintain this lineup structure in the future."

In the second quarter of the rotation stage, Coach Spo had a complete showdown, and the Big Three came directly on the court, and like the starting lineup, Chalmers and Battier continued to play, but replaced Haslem, and the current Heat team is a six-man rotation.

Coach Brooks also shortened the rotation lineup, with Li Ze, Durant, and Ibaka continuing to play, Sofrosa replacing Turtles, Collison replacing Perkins, and the Thunder 7-man rotation.

In the second quarter, the Heat took the lead in attacking, and the Russian fans on the scene immediately cheered for the home team's defense:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

After Chalmers dribbled past halfcourt, the Heat were still in a five-out position, Battier was in the bottom right corner, Wade and James were on both wings, and Chris Bosh was the first to mention the free throw line.

In the first offensive round, Wade received the ball outside the three-point line, faced Li Ze's defense, and immediately called Bosh to block and dismantle, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and Li Ze quickly squeezed through the cover.

Wade noticed that Collison did not delay and defended directly, relying on Li Ze at the same time, the ball in his left hand suddenly accelerated and broke through to the baseline, while Bosh stood at the free throw line and continued to open up the offensive space.

thought that the sudden acceleration could get rid of the defense and rush to the inside, but Wade underestimated Li Ze's defense, and the sudden acceleration not only did not pull away, but was successfully predicted by Li Ze, and was directly driven to the left near baseline position by the pressed defense.

The body was completely enveloped, and Sofloza also gave up Chalmers on the flank at this time, and quickly came over to wrap up, Wade was completely numb.

With an idea, he threw the ball directly to Li Ze's feet, and the ball popped off the bottom line, which resolved the crisis.

The Russian city fans at the scene saw Wade's embarrassed appearance, and immediately screamed excitedly, Li Ze felt a little pity in his heart, his reaction was still half a beat slower, and when the opponent served, he said in a brisk tone:

"Not so lucky next time, man, I'll lock you up completely!"

"Boy, don't talk big in front of me! I'm going to win! ”

Wade, who served from the bottom line, had a calm face, pretending not to care and choked back, but he became more and more angry in his heart, he was basically at the bottom of the two years against Li Ze, not because of the technical gap, but because of the stiffness in his body

After sending the sideline ball, Wade came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line again to receive the ball, and it was still Bosh's blocking, this time he did not choose to break through, but briefly got rid of Li Ze's entanglement, and quickly jumped out after two points!

"Bang!" Hit the nail in a rage!

The rebounds were easily protected by Ibaka, and the Heat's 5-out style of play sacrificed frontcourt rebounds most of the time, and after Li Ze received the ball, he quickly dribbled across the halfcourt.

Wade, who returned to the defense, noticed that the Thunder were still playing a 1-4 flat game, and immediately reminded Battier and Bosh to pay attention to the delay, and Ibaka immediately raised it.

Li Ze protected the ball with his back outside the three-point line and did not give Wade a chance to cut the ball.

Seeing that Ibaka was about to come to the three-point line, he suddenly accelerated with the ball in his left hand, and immediately dribbled under his crotch after taking a big step in his dribble, while lowering his body's center of gravity, and pretending to break through with the ball in his right hand.

Wade was forced to slide to the left rear, saw Li Ze dribbling the ball on the spot with his right hand, suddenly made a sharp stop, immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted out to Battier:

"Change the guard!"

Ibaka just stood outside the three-point line, Li Ze pushed the ball with his right hand and changed direction, and accelerated the breakthrough with the help of the covering left hand.

As soon as Battier heard Wade's shout, he found that Li Ze had rushed in front of him, and hurriedly slid backwards, and the next second he saw Li Ze suddenly retreat sharply in the middle of his rapid march, and he made a mid-range stop-and-jump shot!

"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

The Russian fans at the scene began to cheer loudly, and everyone in the Heat team was a little numb, this kind of breakthrough was unreasonable, coupled with excellent projection ability, the defenders could not predict Li Ze's offensive options at all.

Wade even thinks that Li Ze is a super-strengthened version of Derrick Rose, with the same excellent explosiveness, greater range of movement, better projection ability, and stronger physical confrontation.

In the next few rounds, Battier was completely blinded, and the Thunder's offense was launched from the No. 4 position every time.

As the Heat's defensive spearhead, Battier deserves to switch defenses continuously.

As a result, Li Ze scored two goals in a row in the same way, and Coach Spo on the sidelines frowned, but he just looked at the bench for a while, and finally could only loudly remind the players on the field to maintain defensive focus.

This time the Heat attacked, after the outside quickly passed the ball, LeBron James got an empty opportunity on the right wing outside the three-point line, and saw that Durant had no intention of stepping forward to defend at all, so adjust it and shoot an empty jumper!

"Bang!" Three points of iron!

Seeing that the long basketball actually bounced into Li Ze's arms, James scolded secretly, and hurriedly beckoned his teammates to retreat, and the fans in Russia cheered for a while, and then cheered loudly for the home team again:

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

Wade has been pressing on his side, not giving Li Ze a chance to switch easily, the two were entangled for half time, the Heat team has completed the retreat, and seeing that James is still close to Durant, he immediately made an offensive gesture.

Ibaka mentioned the left elbow area of the free throw line, and after Li Ze passed the ball, he immediately cut in without the ball and moved to the left bottom corner.

After Durant on the left wing shook, he suddenly ran back, saw that James was not shaken, cursed in his heart, and finally received the pass at the top of the arc away from the three-point line.

LeBron James' defense is aggressive, he has been prepared for Durant's offense, and after two changes of direction, he still did not lose his defensive position, and the Thunder's offensive rhythm slowed down suddenly.

There is still half of the offensive time, Durant is not reluctant to attack, after holding the ball in his left hand, he steadily protects the ball, moves to the left flank, and Li Ze in the bottom corner of the left quickly starts and comes to the upper line to complete the hand-to-hand.

This time, LeBron James directly changed the defense, Li Ze released the ball with his right hand after receiving the ball, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, James hurriedly slid backwards, and saw Li Ze suddenly pull back from his crotch, change the center of gravity of the defense again, and quickly stick to the defense.

In the face of LeBron James's defense, Li Ze did not press his center of gravity very low, and at the moment when the opponent was on the defense, his body shook to the right front, snapped twice on the spot and dribbled under his crotch very quickly, and then retreated directly.

Shake off the space to shoot, meet James's block, and quickly jump outside the three-point line!

“Kayce Open the three！ Yes！ ”

The stalemate, with Li Ze's three-point shot, was broken again, and commentator Mike Brin saw that the Thunder team was leading by 4 points, and immediately raised the volume of the commentary, and the Russian City fans at the scene also shouted with excitement.

LeBron James saw Li Ze waving to the fans with a relaxed expression, and was very depressed in his heart, it's you again.

Coach Spo immediately asked for a timeout, and in the face of an opponent like the Thunder, he didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately got back the main lineup after the timeout, he didn't want the Heat to fall behind at halftime.

Fortunately, LeBron James responded on the offensive end, scolding Durant, and even shooting with sudden shots, withstanding this wave of offense, and before halftime, tied the score again.

"It's very funny, at halftime, 55-55, Wade was 1-of-4 in the second quarter, and Durant was 1-of-2 in the second quarter, and the two teams invariably chose to strangle each other's other core player."

"In this quarter, Kayce and LeBron James played very well on both ends of the floor, James was 4-of-7 and scored 10 points, and Kayce was 4-of-6 and scored 11 points, and I don't know how the two sides will adjust in the second half."

Although in the second quarter of the game, the shooting rate of both sides began to decline, but Jeff Van Gundy watched it, and began to comment on the game endlessly at halftime, and the five-small lineup was really interesting!

At the start of the second half, the Thunder took the lead in making changes, with Durant in charge of the online defense with the Turtles, and Li Ze starting to play against LeBron James.

In the third quarter of the game, both sides played the main game, and the Heat still took the lead in attacking, LeBron James found that it was Li Ze who was opposite him, and asked for the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line in the first round, and then with the help of Haslem's blocking, the ball was accelerated with his left hand.

Li Ze successfully predicted the opponent's offensive options, slid backwards, and at the same time gave a physical confrontation on his side, James immediately found that Li Ze's strength was stronger than Durant's, and the tank broke through and did not rush.

Crushed to the left blocking area, after LeBron James slowed down, he used his right foot as the axis, pulled the ball back with his left hand, and then twisted his body, quickly closed the ball, took his right foot as the axis, moved three steps in a row, and carried Li Ze up and down

"Squeak!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle and signaled LeBron James to walk in violation of the rules, and the crowd cheered.

“？”

LeBron James had a question mark on his face and spread his hands, indicating that he was incomprehensible, and Durant on the side almost laughed, and the depression of the game in the second quarter made him feel more relaxed without defending James.

Sending a baseline ball, the turtle dribbled through the half, and the Thunder also changed their offensive strategy in the second half.

In the "V" position, Li Ze and Durant both sank into the bottom corner, and Ibaka and Perkins both went up to the left and right elbows of the free throw line at the same time.

As soon as Chalmers wanted to remind Haslem to pay attention to the delay, he saw the turtle with the ball in his left hand suddenly change direction, and Perkins' broad body played a role, Chalmers could not squeeze through, and could only watch the turtle make a mid-range pull-up jump shot.

"Brilliant goal! It looks like Westbrook is going to explode in the second half, and the Thunder seem to have changed their offensive strategy! ”

The offense was very sudden, and commentator Mike Brin didn't keep up with the Thunder's offensive rhythm, and only added an afterthought after seeing the Turtles complete the goal.

Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene, the turtle did not celebrate too much after the goal, quickly retreated, and then high-fived continuously to cheer up his defense.

Coach Spo on the sidelines was a little numb, Durant in the first quarter, Li Ze in the second quarter, Westbrook in the third quarter? Is it really a turn?

In the first half of the third quarter, the Heat's offense gradually stretched its hips, and when Li Ze switched to LeBron James, he chose to squeeze through the cover most of the time when he encountered a block, although he suffered a loss in strength, but Li Ze was more excellent in defensive agility.

After Haslem was replaced, Chris Bosh's pick-and-roll was still squeezed by Li Ze, which is also a benefit of playing at home, and most of the moving pick-and-roll referees will blow.

This time the Heat attacked, outside the three-point line and defended the wing with the help of the pick-and-roll, LeBron James accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, Li Ze kept the defensive position on his side, and Ibaka also moved towards the three-second zone.

Three consecutive rounds of attacking misses, also made James's mentality change, this time directly to the end, ignoring the defense, after a big jump, directly into the paint area, after shaking, seeing that Li Ze was still not shaking, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched.

Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, he defended against the defense and completed the throw with his right hand, but the ball just shot, and Ibaka, who returned to the penalty area, quickly jumped up and sent a pegboard hat.

"Oh!"

The Russian fans at the scene were so excited that they shouted, and after the ball rebounded, Li Ze immediately controlled the ball, and when he saw that the turtle had been activated, he immediately threw the ball to the front court.

After receiving the pass, the turtle accelerated in a straight line, completely shook off the defender behind him, 1 hit 0 in the front court, and after jumping with both feet, the tomahawk-style buckle was strong and heavy!

"The Thunder's signature transition offense, LeBron James seems to be in trouble!"

Jeff Van Gundy didn't expect Li Ze to defend James so well, counting this round, the game played half a quarter, James is currently 0 in 4, and the tank breakthrough after the block and demolition didn't work.

"Ahh

After landing on the ground, the turtle pounded his chest and roared at the camera under the basket, counting this dunk, the turtle has already scored 8 points in a single quarter.

At 65:70, the Thunder finally led by 5 points, Wade saw James dumb and began to receive the ball in a row, but Durant stopped shooting and in this case, Wade also hit the iron

Coach Spo asked for a timeout again, and the Heat were gasping for breath when they returned to the bench, and the offense suddenly lost power, which they were very familiar with, but unlike previous opponents, the Thunder's offense was not easy to pull across.

After the timeout, with Chris Bosh's mid-range, the Heat steadied their ground.

But the Thunder team was not affected in any way, and Li Ze had been smoking in the bottom corner in the first half of the quarter, and this time he directly asked for the ball with his back in the right blocking area.

Li Ze has been holding Wade stuck behind him, but the two of them tore apart in the low position, and the turtle was not good at passing the ball for a while, and when he saw Li Ze's card position, he suddenly raised his eyebrows at him, and then relied on Wade's dexterity to turn around.

Turtle Turtle understood and quickly sent a high throw pass, Wade, who lost his defensive position, just came back to his senses, and Li Ze had already cut into the basket.

Jump with both feet, stay in the air for a short time after receiving the ball, take advantage of the situation to rotate the ball in the air, grab the ball with one hand with your right hand, and directly put the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" The windmill storm is a good deal!

“OH！ What a play By Kayce！ ”

The wonderful air catch dunk made the commentator Mike Brin scream excitedly, and the Russian fans at the scene also screamed excitedly, frantically shaking the white handkerchief in their hands.

The turtle who sent the wonderful pass was very excited, and immediately went over to celebrate with Li Ze's chest, and the Thunder team was full of momentum for a while, and the defense was more energetic.

The Heat's offense, after LeBron James missed consecutive shots, the offense also began to hesitate, this time to the left elbow of the free throw line to receive the ball, facing Li Ze's defense, two consecutive tentative steps with his right foot.

Seeing that Li Ze had no reaction at all, LeBron James immediately put the ball with his left hand, crossed the dribble and broke through, facing each other, Li Ze was also a little helpless, and was directly hit by the tank to the paint area.

As soon as Ibaka's defense retracted, LeBron James immediately passed the ball, and Battier in the bottom left corner received the ball without making adjustments, and quickly jumped from outside the three-point line:

"Bang!" Hit the nail in a rage!

The rebound was easily accepted by Perkins under the basket, and Li Ze could clearly feel that the Heat's shooting rate was declining, so in the last three minutes of the third quarter, he immediately turned on the [Enter the Rhythm] Buff.

The Heat's defense was so fast that after dribbling across the halfcourt, the Turtle noticed that the opponent had completed the defensive positioning, and immediately gave the ball to Ibaka, who was in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

then signaled Li Ze to receive the ball, then quickly cut in without the ball, took away the defense, and moved to the left bottom corner, Li Ze on the left flank was still entangled with Wade.

Sensing that the Thunder were going to make a hand-to-hand pass, Wade strengthened his off-ball defense, and although he couldn't get on directly, he used his flexibility to keep Li Ze away from the three-point line to catch the ball.

The kraft candy-style defense did cause some trouble to Li Ze, realizing that he couldn't complete the hand-to-hand catch, Li Ze suddenly started, moved to the top of the arc, and then immediately ran back to the left sideline.

Seeing Li Ze running away from the three-point line, Wade breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly adjusted his body's center of gravity, stepping on the three-point line to keep an eye on Li Ze's movements.

Observing Wade's defense, he actually took a small step, and after receiving the ball, Li Ze did not make any adjustments, and quickly jumped out of the left wing outside the three-point line from a long distance!

“BANG！”

“Kayce From downtown！”

Long-distance three-pointers, once again let the commentator Mike Brin scream excitedly, Wade was completely numb, he barely had any reaction to this ball, and saw Li Ze chuckle at him again, almost being blown up, and he was 1 of 5 in this quarter

Seeing that the point difference was about to widen again, Wade began to break through desperately, constantly throwing himself into the air, although he could score free throws, but the Heat's outside line was completely dumb.

Coach Spo kept yelling at his players, but he still couldn't change the offensive state of the Heat, and in the last two minutes, he hit iron in a row, and the Thunder seized the opportunity to convert, completely widening the point difference.

At 19:30 in the third quarter, the score of the two sides came to 74:85, and when Li Ze faced LeBron James, the Thunder seized the opportunity and took an 11-point lead.

"It's unbelievable that the Heat's offense is suddenly problematic, and that's been the case many times in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but in the Finals, against a team like the Thunder, you have to be up to 12 points."

"Kayce has been very successful defensively against LeBron James, Coach Spo needs to adjust his offensive strategy, and the shooting percentage of his role players is also declining."

Jeff Van Gundy looked at the technical statistics in his hand and sighed a little in his heart, as if the Thunder were more like a Big Three team, with the trio taking turns to break out and harvest the game in the final quarter.

Once the Thunder take a double-digit lead, the Heat will be very uncomfortable, and if the three-point shot continues to hit the iron at this time, and then take two transition offenses, the difference will go to 15 points.

However, in the face of a smaller and smaller joint defense, it is very difficult to break through and score, coupled with the away game, the referee's whistle is more biased towards the home team, and in this case, the role players of the Heat team do not dare to shoot easily.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat seemed to be back to last year's Finals, the outside line fell backwards, almost 24 seconds, barely finished the offense, LeBron James two consecutive rounds of arc top dealing, as a result of Bosh and Battier each hit a tie.

Durant completed a transition offense and scored two points on free throws, extending the margin to 13 points.

When Wade broke through and missed the shot, the Thunder launched another transition offense, and the head coach Spo on the sidelines yelled at the players to retreat, but in the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat, who were almost in the six-man rotation, had their physical fitness dropped greatly.

And the Thunder team rushed with the ball, Li Ze also accelerated wildly after completing the defense, accelerating along the right sideline, and Durant, who was declining in physical fitness, also rushed on the left side, and the three-line fast attack, the Heat team couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

After rushing through the half, Turtle Turtle noticed that Wade didn't seem to retreat back, and threw the ball directly to Li Ze on the right, although there was still one step away from the three-point line, but after Li Ze received the ball and shook it, he still made a backup save and flew directly to Battier.

After completely shaking off the defense, Li Ze calmly adjusted a step and made an easy jump shot outside the three-point line!

"Huh!" Convert three points and hit it steadily!

The Russian city fans at the scene raised their hands after seeing Li Ze throw three points, and they all shouted happily, with a difference of 16 points, the team almost locked the win.

Seeing that the point difference continued to widen, LeBron James completely let go of his psychological baggage, and in the third quarter, he made 2 of 6 in the game, and scored 7 points on the outside frame and free throws.

Of course he knew that the projection was not in good shape tonight, but at this time he had to let go and throw it. Coupled with the fact that his good brother Wade is also not in good shape, LeBron James feels like he has to step up.

In the next few minutes, LeBron James began to score in a row, hitting mid-range shots, and although the offense found its touch, the overall defensive intensity of the Heat began to decline.

The Thunder also brought on Collison and replaced the physically exhausted Perkins, and when the trio began to make hand-to-hand hand-to-hand connections on the outside and play simple pick-and-roll breaks, Coach Spo knew that this game was definitely gone.

Li Ze received Durant's hand-handed pass outside the three-point line, saw LeBron James switch defenses again, broke through with the ball in his right hand, marched to the free throw line, and pulled back his hips sharply.

LeBron James saw Li Ze's left hand pause slightly, and subconsciously pounced, but was completely shaken by Li Ze's sudden push and changed direction, completely shaking off the space for the shot, Li Ze drifted to the left and threw a jump shot!

"Nice shaking, Kayce completely shook off James' defense, maybe Coach Spo can think about the next game."

Jeff Van Gundy had some regrets, he thought the two sides would fight until the fourth quarter, but the Heat suddenly attacked and pulled his hips

After the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the Heat held on for more than two minutes, and with 3:42 left in the game, Coach Spo changed the atmosphere group and replaced all the main players, announcing a complete concede.

The Russian City fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena were jubilant as they celebrated their G1 victory in the Grand Finals!

Li Ze was also quickly substituted, and the Thunder atmosphere group made its debut, and the coaching staff all came over to high-five Kim to celebrate, and the defense of the game in the third quarter was too critical.

"Maybe we can sweep each other, James's projection really doesn't work!"

Durant was in a good mood, and after handing the kettle to Li Ze, he immediately mocked James' performance in a low voice, Li Ze could obviously feel that James's condition was much better than last year, after all, the Heat was already his horse.

'It's not easy to play three consecutive away games, and back in Miami, the whistle won't be like tonight's.

Li Ze is not as optimistic as Durant, James who combines sudden shooting is the complete body, the referee relaxes the penalty scale, too many muscle collisions will definitely lead to a decline in the feel.

As a result, the statistics handed by the assistant coach showed that he was 11 of 20, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 31 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers.

Turtle Turtle smiled and kept waving towels on the sidelines to help cheer the atmosphere team on.

On the bench of the Heat, LeBron James also looked at the technical statistics, hitting consecutive shots in the fourth quarter of the game, allowing his shooting percentage to rebound, 11 of 24, and scored 30 points.

After seeing the data of good brother Wade scoring 19 points on 7-of-19 shooting and Bosh scoring 11 points on 4-of-11 shooting, LeBron James frowned and said that the Big Three.

With the huge cheers of the Russian fans on the scene, the game time ended, and at 94:109, the Thunder team successfully defeated the Heat team and ushered in a good start to the finals.

Li Ze got up and applauded the Russian fans at the scene, and when he saw everyone's happy appearance, he silently thought in his heart:

"Hey, hey, the tentative is done, maybe it's time for the Heat to adjust"
