Chapter 305: If It's a Brother, Come and Beat Me (10,000-Word Chapter)

With home-court advantage in hand, more blossoms, and winning the Finals G1, this is definitely the most wonderful start for the Heat team in the past three years!

The nightmare of '11 and '12 seems to have dissipated, and the Heat fans, who like to leave the court early, continued to shout after the game that they would win another championship with just three more games.

Maybe it was too easy to win the game, or maybe the Clippers were weaker than they thought, and it wasn't just LeBron James who was smiling, Wade was also laughing.

And Chris Bosh stood on the sidelines after the game and kept roaring loudly, venting the excitement in his heart.

For the first time, the Big Three feel so close to the championship!

The media reporter of Amerika, who was the grass on the wall, forgot the previous ridicule and began to praise the performance of the three people wildly.

For a while, in the press conference hall of the American Airlines Arena, there was a tide of sycophants, and Wade, who was 7 of 13 in this game and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 turnovers, did not forget to ridicule his little brother when facing questions from reporters.

"Wade, it is said that Chris Paul turned down your invitation, will the finals affect your friendship?"

"Of course not, I don't mix work and life, it's the first time Chris has reached the Finals, and I love playing against him."

"Of course, I hope he'll be ruthless in the game, but we're going to win the series!"

The sports reporters in the audience watched Wade shrug his shoulders and say this with a smile, and also smiled slightly, Paul really can't limit Wade's play.

Winning and grinning, at the press conference, Wade, James, and Bosh looked relaxed, and the business blows each other offstage, as if the Heat team has won the match point and won the next game directly...

The game kicked off at 21 o'clock in the evening, and the game was not going fast, and by the time of the post-match press conference, the time had come to 23 o'clock.

Maybe the sports media are night owls, these guys looked in good spirits at the Clippers' press conference, and it's good to lose!

"Kayce, how do you assess tonight's game, do you think there is something wrong with the team's tactical arrangement?"

Yahoo Sports' reporter's question is not very friendly, as a rookie coach in the finals, De Nagro's employment is indeed more passive, and he is almost led by the nose by Coach Spo.

However, Li Ze, who was dressed in a dark gray suit, just said with a relaxed expression in the face of such a question:

"Maybe we had too much rest, so we didn't feel good on the outside tonight, but there was nothing wrong with the team's tactics."

"I was the only one in the starting lineup who had experience in the finals, so everyone was a little nervous in the first game, which was inevitable."

"Of course, the series is seven games, we will adjust our form in time, and the finals also start with an away win!"

14 of 26, including 4 of 8 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, 40 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

When the sports media at the scene heard Li Ze's answer, they all shook their heads secretly in their hearts, there was no explosion! It seems that there is something out of nothing after the game, and then soon the media will target Paul:

"Paul, there were a lot of times in this game where you switched to Wade, but the defensive effect was very average, is that why you lost?"

Although Paul was in a bad mood, he explained in all seriousness when he heard such a question:

"Superstars can't be limited, the reason for losing is just that we lost the rhythm of the game, and we will adjust to it!"

"I've learned a lot in this year's playoffs, be patient and aim to get an away win, even if we lose in a row, we're going to keep the confidence and then protect our home stadium."

Also dressed in a dark gray suit, Paul looked confident when he said this, and a 40-point cut on the golden thigh next to him was as simple as drinking water, and offense would not be a problem for the Clippers...

It's just that the media won't interpret it normally, and after the press conference, there was a direct article:

"Chris Paul is low on confidence, and the Clippers may continue to lose"...

After that, all kinds of media fully staged what it means to make something out of nothing, which is simply a master of psychology per capita:

"Griffin played with an injury just for the stats, and there was a serious disagreement within the Clippers";

"Kayce thinks the team is tactically backward, and the Clippers will consider changing the head coach"...

On the morning of the 7th, when the Clippers had a video lesson, Griffin was almost blown up by the boring media, and he was described as a locker room cancer, but in fact, in the G1 game, he only played 16 minutes, 3 of 6, and cut down 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Can this also be black? Young Griffin really wanted to find the sports reporter who wrote this article and give the other party two old punches directly, so that he could understand that words are not allowed to be nonsense!

Chris Paul was also angry enough, obviously he was full of confidence, but it turned out to be a lack of confidence...

7-of-14, including 0-of-4 three-pointers, 4-of-5 free throws, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 turnover, Paul thinks his performance is decent, and he lacks confidence in the first game.

Between G1 and G2 in the finals, both teams have more than two days to adjust, and in terms of fitness, there is no problem for either side.

In this case, how to adjust the lineup and how to choose the right alignment has become a difficult problem for the Clippers.

Chris Paul at 183 is very good at defending in the No. 1 position, but his height is always a hard injury, and the first game has proven that switching to Wade is very mediocre.

In terms of speed, the two are half a pound, but in size and strength, Wade has a big advantage, although Chris Paul also has a huge hip, but when he defended Wade, he was never able to make too much interference in the face of continuous middle distance.

"Andrew, you have to pay attention to Bosh's position, and at the same time, the rebounding ball should also be stuck in time, don't be easily shaken up by the opponent, the first two quarters of the game, control your fouls!"

Hearing the assistant coach's words, Jordan Jr. nodded obediently again, averaging 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game throughout the playoffs, and shooting 39.1% from the free throw line.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one on the inside, Coach De Nagro might have pressed this big man who likes to jump silly to the bench...

Jordan Jr.'s performance near the basket is not bad, but it's a pity that Chris Bosh always likes to stand in the circle of the free throw line, and he can't go up or down the defensive position, which makes Jordan Jr. completely numb.

In addition, Bosh does not have many low-post offenses, either catching the ball and jumping shots or breaking through with the ball, last night's game, Jordan Jr. basically couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

Li Ze also reviewed last night's game in the explanation of the assistant coach.

James likes to receive the ball on the left and right wings, and then either block and break through, or play a defensive hand-to-hand with the guard, and then cover the down, go to the blocking position to play a single, and approach the basket to complete the offense.

Li Ze's single defense cooperates with the Clippers' interior line, and the overall defensive effect is still very good.

However, perhaps it was too much emphasis on James' defense, coupled with the fact that Paul always switched to Wade, which led to the Heat playing best in last night's game.

He was 6-of-12, including 2-of-4 three-pointers and 5-of-5 free throws, and scored a team-high 19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Rashad Lewis, who came off the bench, scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-5 three-pointers, and Mike Miller also scored nine points on 3-of-3 three-pointers.

Overall, the Heat shot 10-of-19 from three-point range and shot 52.6% from the field, which also shows that the Clippers' man-to-man defense has completely failed.

Jamal Crawford was also a little weak-hearted, shooting 37.2 percent from three-point range in the regular season, only to drop to 27.3 percent in the playoffs.

In the face of the Heat's three-point projection, the Clippers suddenly messed up the rhythm and followed the trend, and the opponent seized the opportunity to convert.

"Be patient! Our goal is just an away win, the last game was my problem, we need to readjust our defensive set-up! ”

"Do what you're good at! Believe in each other! ”

Coach De Nagro immediately clapped his hands again after completing the video lesson and sent out chicken soup for the soul.

Fortunately, there is Li Ze in the Clippers locker room, as long as the superstar has no opinion, then no matter how much others have, they have to hold it in their hearts.

Every team has contradictions, and some of the Clippers' players don't really like this chicken soup level and usually give up the white head coach who manages the locker room.

A lot of black players are actually playing with a lot of enthusiasm, and sometimes it works more than detailed tactics.

When it was time for lunch, everyone on the Clippers team was in the hotel, the married ones got together, and the unmarried ones were on Li Ze's side.

Chris Paul was a little skeptical about the coaching staff's tactical adjustments, and took the initiative to get next to Li Ze and Griffin, chatting while eating:

"Kayce, do you think it's really a good idea to let LeBron go? I know him well and he's definitely going to play well in the big games! ”

Before Li Ze could speak, Griffin on the side responded in a relaxed tone:

"James has lost to Kayce for two years in a row, these are key games, I don't think he's played very well, KD has played better than him in the last two years."

Griffin's opinion, in fact, also represents the view of many young players, victory is the most important thing, losing for two years in a row, no matter how good James is, some players have begun to look down on the chosen son.

Li Ze glanced at Griffin, this guy really can't speak, but for Paul's question, he just replied simply:

"Everything will have to wait until after G2, and it is really more pragmatic to keep Andrew under the basket and shrink the defense near the paint field than to mark man."

"Actually, I'm very good at defending Wade, he's been terrible from beyond the three-point line this year, and he always likes to block and pick from below the free throw line every time he attacks, you have noticed!"

Paul watched the game video for more than a week, and knew the playing style and data of his good brother Wade well, and when he heard Li Ze's words, he finally shook his head with a smile and said with emotion:

"It's true that Dwyane's 25 percent shooting from beyond the three-point line in the playoffs is down a bit compared to last year."

Li Ze gulped down the steak, and when he heard Paul's response, he said lightly again:

"So, I'll limit Wade's mid-range, you limit Chalmers, and as for LeBron's play, it's up to God."

"Two-pointers can't beat us, but it's a pity that everyone's outside touch is average this year, otherwise we would have had an easier playoffs!"

Paul thought about it and felt that what Li Ze said did make sense, and the coaching staff's decision seemed to be correct, although he thought that his brother James was strong, but it was not an easy thing to score 50 points alone.

"We're going to have to re-train our defense for the next two days, Andrew, and you're going to have to keep working on free throws in the offseason!"

Little Jordan, who was also shot while lying down, could only nod silently aggrievedly, although he was 10,000 dissatisfied in his heart, but when it came to the most critical period of the team, he didn't dare to have any complaints...

At the mention of free throws, Griffin raised his head, and a real man has to do what he says.

In the playoffs, the surface brother's free throw shooting rate also came to 80.8%, and he is no longer the team's drag!

Li Ze looked at Paul's chattering appearance, and did not mean to interrupt the other party, someone in the team must urge the slackers...

At the end of G1, Amerika's sports media didn't make much predictions about the series, except for a few wall-to-wall grass jumping up and down, and mainstream commentators were waiting for G2.

If the Heat succeed in protecting their home court, then everyone can collectively incarnate as Zhan Blow.

If the Clippers manage to steal an away game, there are already pundits ready to shout "Clippers championship," considering that the next three games are in Los Angeles.

More than two days passed quickly, and the Clippers were training in a low-key manner, and Coach De Nagro didn't want to attract any attention, and most importantly, he didn't want Coach Spo to guess his tactical adjustments.

Superstars are indeed unlimited, and the Heat's outside shooting ability is indeed strong, averaging 20.2 shots per game in the playoffs, hitting 7.7 shots, and shooting 38.1% from three-point range, compared to 39.6% in the regular season, which is not much down.

Among the 30 teams in the league, the Heat ranked second in three-point shooting percentage in the regular season and second in the playoffs.

And the team with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the regular season and playoffs is the Warriors...

On the night of June 9, the atmosphere in the American Airlines arena was extremely hot, and before the game even started, the excited Heat fans were already shouting along with Hi Qu Wow.

The appearance ceremony of the Heat team was very distinctive, and the DJ on the scene first used a deep tone to briefly introduce the Clippers team.

As the big screen in the center of the field played the highlights of the previous game, the DJs on the scene began to raise their voices and introduce the home team players with enthusiasm.

There was another screaming at the scene, and after the Heat team formed a circle in front of the bench, Wade stood in the middle, looking excited and constantly shouting to his teammates:

“we are fight! we are fight! we are fight! ”

Everyone shouted along with them, and the Heat team was like a rainbow for a while.

With the lights on, the G2 match is about to begin.

On the ESPN commentary seat, commentator Mike Bryn, wearing a black suit and a white shirt and red tie, first looked around the arena, and then said briskly to the camera:

"The victory in the G1 game has brought a huge boost to the fans of the Heat team, and in tonight's game, the Heat team did not change the starting lineup, and it can be seen that Coach Spo is very satisfied with the performance of the G1 team."

Jeff Van Gundy wore a gray suit tonight, wore glasses, faced the camera, and said with a serious expression:

"The Clippers were the first to make changes, veteran Ray Allen started the game, the Clippers have had problems with the No. 3 position this season, and tonight Coach De Nagro is obviously more concerned about the offense, but I'm not optimistic about such a change."

"If we shrink our defense, the Heat's perimeter will definitely respond, and maybe we can be in the middle of the game and be mindful of the rotation behind the Clippers."

LeBron James, who wore a white headband, although he looked serious, still showed a smile in front of the technical table, after finishing the part of throwing magnesium powder.

Compared with the Heat team shouting and shouting, Li Ze of the Clippers just compared a few sets of bells and whistles with his teammates, and then everyone quietly carried out the final warm-up.

Coach De Nagro did not make too much chicken soup before the game, and even sat on the bench in a low-key manner before the game began.

The on-site director has been giving the Clippers coaching staff the camera, and seeing that everyone is sitting back on the bench, he was a little speechless for a while, and the head coach Spo on the other side is still loudly reminding everyone on the Heat team.

The referee motioned for the players from both sides to come to the center of the court, and the American Airlines arena immediately erupted in a huge cheering sound, compared to G1, the fans of the Heat team tonight were more enthusiastic and shouted wildly:

“ lets go heat! lets go heat! lets go heat! ”

Paul stood alone on his own half, on his knees, staring intently at Jordan Jr., who was about to jump ball.

As the ball was thrown, Jordan Jr. jumped to his feet and easily jumped to the ball again for the Clippers.

Paul stepped forward to take the ball, and then quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and the Heat fans at the scene shouted again for the home team's defense:

“defense! defense! defense! ”

But just after shouting three times, it immediately stopped abruptly.

Li Ze took advantage of Griffin's upper cover, started quickly from the bottom left corner, got rid of Wade's entanglement, received Paul's pass, took a step inside the three-point line on the left wing, and quickly jumped out with two points!

"Huh!" Hit the two-pointer steadily!

Hearing another burst of false sound at the scene, Li Ze simply clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to quickly return to defense.

Compared with Leonard and Tony Allen's all-out tool-man defense, Wade's chasing defense is a little worse, and Li Ze has also readjusted the pace of his shots after the last game.

The Heat didn't care either, quickly sent out the baseline ball, Chalmers dribbled across half court, and then quickly twitched the corners of his mouth, and found that the Clippers almost shrunk into a ball.

Li Ze and Paul stood on the left and right elbows of the free throw line, Jordan Jr. stood near the baseline on the left side, and Griffin stood near the baseline on the right.

Only Ray Allen stood slightly forward, facing James, behind the three-point line, and this kind of defense that completely surrounded the paint area simply ignored the Heat's perimeter.

Seeing such a defensive style, Bosh quickly came to the free throw line as soon as possible, and after receiving the pass, Jordan Jr. also followed the defense, but he strictly guarded his left hand, leaving only his right hand for Bosh.

Bosh spotted Griffin ready to shrink the basket and quickly passed the ball to James on the right wing beyond the three-point line.

Receiving the ball in the position he is most familiar with, James noticed that Ray Allen let him take a big step, and at the same time guarded his left hand, immediately put the ball with his right hand, and broke through directly.

It didn't take long for James to realize that something was wrong, and Ray Allen didn't put him under a lot of defensive pressure, just letting him go right hand to break through.

Observing that Griffin and Jordan Jr. were both waiting for him under the basket, James immediately jumped up and passed the ball back to Chalmers, who was receiving from outside the three-point line.

Paul's defense immediately caught up, who then fed the ball back to Bosh at the free-throw line, and after a lap, Jordan Jr. couldn't return to the defense, and finally Bosh made an easy jumper from mid-range.

"Huh!" Two-point goal!

Despite Jordan Jr.'s defense, the Clippers accepted the score, and Coach De Nagro on the sidelines got up and clapped his hands, signaling that this was good defense, and then sat back on the bench, looking as steady as Tarzan.

is also a quick baseline shot, compared to the G1 game, the Clippers no longer have the luxury of breaking down the opponent through the inside.

Griffin's knee is still plagued by injuries, and as for Jordan Jr., the coaching staff has completely defined him as a pick-and-roll tool.

After Paul dribbled through the half, the Clippers' offensive space stretched wide, with Ray Allen on the left wing, Griffin on the left elbow, and Lee in the right corner.

For a while, there were only Jordan Jr. and Paul at the top of the entire arc, far away from the three-point line, a simple high-post block, and Paul's right hand changed direction in front of the body to get rid of Chalmers' defense.

Facing Bosh who came up from the switch, the misdirection changed after the shoulder swayed, and the right hand held the ball sheep suit to break through diagonally.

Coming to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Paul suddenly made a feint of hitting the ground, and Chalmers and Bosh paid attention to Jordan Jr. at the same time.

When the two people reacted, they saw Paul take advantage of the strength of the ball rebound and shoot an easy jump shot from mid-range.

“oh——! chris paul! knocks it down! ”

The wonderful shaking made the commentator Mike Brin instantly raise his voice, and the Heat fans at the scene continued to boo.

Chalmers dribbled across the half court again, saw that the Clippers' defense had not changed anything, and suddenly had a big head, and gave the ball to LeBron James as soon as possible.

James, who received the ball on the right wing, did not attack immediately, but began to direct his teammates to move and run.

As a result, no matter how tossed, Li Ze and Paul just shrank at the free throw line, Joe Jr. didn't go out, and Griffin was waiting for James to break through on the right side near the baseline.

As for Haslem, he was almost completely let go by the Clippers.

After a lap of play, LeBron James again fed the ball back to Chalmers at the top of the arc, who received the ball and immediately passed it to Wade on the left wing.

Haslem moved from near baseline on the left to the right to open up space for Wade to break through, while Bosh from the free-throw line came to the left elbow to block and pick up.

Wade soon found out that Li Ze did not choose to defend himself, but leaned on Bosh, ready to go down the line to defend, in the face of such a huge long two-point opportunity, Wade on the left wing took a step forward and shot a long two-point jumper in the open position!

"Huh!" Two more points!

The Heat fans cheered, and after the goal, Wade Bangbang beat his chest, showing the appearance of a big boss.

Li Ze doesn't care, if the ratio is two points longer, Wade and James combined may be able to compare with his output.

Paul was in good shape, and in the next few minutes, Li Ze mostly opened up space in the bottom corners of the left and right sides at all times, and it was really not good, so he took the pot at the end.

As soon as the game started, the two teams scored consecutive response shots, and the Heat patiently conducted, while the Clippers tried to find misalignment, striving to form a small hit with each offense.

More than six minutes into the first quarter, the Heat still couldn't resist the opportunity to shoot from the outside.

Taking advantage of Jordan Jr.'s poor defensive completion rate, Bosh hit two mid-range shots in a row, and this time after completing the block and dismantling with James on the right wing, he bounced outside the three-point line, received a pass, and quickly jumped to shoot.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the back edge, and almost all the players under the basket were Clippers players, Griffin stuck James who rushed to grab the rebound, Jordan Jr. easily blocked Haslem behind him, and finally Li Ze accepted the rebound, and then immediately launched a conversion attack.

After receiving the rebound, he suddenly accelerated, Li Ze first wrapped the ball behind his back, passed Bosh who wanted to delay him, and then gave the ball to Paul near the middle line, and then ran without the ball, accelerating in a straight line.

The Heat's defense was fast, and Paul had just dribbled past half court when Chalmers and LeBron James were already on Paul's side, and just as he was about to delay, Paul quickly threw the ball to the top right of the basket.

Amid the exclamations of the fans at the scene, Li Ze, who was close to the paint area, suddenly took off between Bosh and Wade.

After jumping high, ignoring Bosh jumping in front of him, he grabbed the ball with one hand in his right hand, condescendingly, and pressed the ball into the basket fiercely through Bosh!

“kayce——li! alley-oop!”

“oh my god!”

Li Ze almost pressed Bosh to dunk the ball into the basket, and when he saw that Bosh hit the street directly after landing, he fell headlong next to the camera, and commentator Mike Brin suddenly screamed.

"Shh

The boos in the American Airlines arena did not affect Li Ze's celebration, and he was also expressionless, slamming his chest at the camera under the basket.

There were 5 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, and the score on the court was 15:13.

There was jubilation on the Clippers bench, and everyone stepped forward to high-five Li Ze in celebration, while on the other side, Coach Spo hurriedly replaced Battier to strengthen his outside projection.

"Listen guys, we have to believe in each other, show up for opportunities, shoot decisively, and pay attention to protecting the rebounding ball in the backcourt!"

The situation of the outside line going back and forth has already made Coach Spo feel that something is wrong.

After the timeout, the Clippers replaced Griffin and Turiaf came on, and this time the Heat attacked, LeBron James received the ball on the left wing, and then forced the ball to the basket with his left hand.

Hanging Ray Allen and Turiaf, and against the block of Jordan Jr., he scored 2 points with difficulty, and the outrageous goal not only boosted the morale of the Heat team, but also made the fans on the scene scream excitedly!

Lee made an offensive gesture, then Paul waved at his teammates, and the Clippers quickly passed half court.

Battier was stunned when he saw Li Ze holding the ball directly, and saw Li Ze on the left wing continuously dribbling under his crotch and changing direction before his body, approaching the three-point line, and suddenly his scalp was numb.

At this point, Paul was standing at the logo waiting to be answered, Ray Allen was standing on the right wing to open up space, and Turiaf and Jordan Jr. on the inside had no desire to block at all.

The two big men of the Clippers are desperately stuck in the basket, and Li Ze has not made a move, and the inside line is about to wrestle.

The defensive Battier didn't know which side to defend for a while, and when Li Ze suddenly changed the rhythm of the dribble, his body shook to the left after dribbling under the crotch, and Battier subconsciously slid to the right back.

In the next second, Li Ze completed a large change of direction in front of his body and passed his defense in one step.

"Oh!"

The fans at the scene also exclaimed, and Battier was shaken so hard that he almost slipped on the floor.

Li Ze didn't dribble too much, completed the change in front of the body to the back, made a force with his left foot, easily retreated to the three-point line, no one defended, and quickly jumped out of the three-point shot!

“kayce hits the three! yes! ”

Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and the Spo coach on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with the defense of this round, and immediately reminded Battier loudly:

"Prevent it as soon as possible!"

As the record holder of three-point shooting in the regular season and three-point shooting in the playoffs, all teams will not give three-point shots easily when facing Li Ze.

Since the Grizzlies adopted a defensive strategy of guarding one side and sending Li Ze to within the three-point line, the Spurs and Heat have also followed suit.

After all, once the three-point shot is smooth, the game may be spent directly, and in contrast, the two-point shot is more acceptable...

James' offense didn't go well, the Clippers almost let go of his mid-range and three-point shots, and the two interior players were always waiting for him under the basket, and in this case, Wade took over the main offensive task.

Wade, who received the ball on the left wing, first completed a pick-and-roll with Bosh at the left elbow of the free throw line.

After Bosh dismantled, he immediately went to the basket, and Li Ze's defense went off the line and stuck to Wade for the first time.

Holding the ball in his right hand, he dribbled quickly behind his back, then Wade continued to accelerate with the ball in his left hand, and finally in the left blocking area, he suddenly stepped back and raised the ball to shake.

After a series of shaking, finding that Li Ze was still firmly in front of him, the corners of Wade's mouth twitched.

At this time, Bosh under the basket was ready to rush for the rebound, and Wade, who hesitated for a moment, did not force a shot against the defense, but returned the ball to Chalmers at the top of the arc.

Just when the ball was about to fall into the hands of his teammates, Paul suddenly came out, successfully predicted the passing route, easily stole the ball, and then accelerated in a straight line, 1 to 0 in the front court, and the civilian layup was successful!

Before Chalmers could even react, Paul, who had successfully scored a steal, had already returned to the defense, constantly applauding passionately and beckoning his teammates to continue defending.

"Why don't you try a three-point shot? I promise I won't prevent it! ”

Wade was so angry when he heard Li Ze's ridiculous voice that he was choked with anger, but at this time he was still expressionless and did not make any response.

"How many points do you think you can score in this game? How about we make a bet! ”

Li Ze paid attention to the movement of James on the right side of the court, and teased Wade again.

was provoked continuously, Wade just wanted to respond, but found that Li Ze suddenly jumped up in the direction of the baseline and intercepted the pass to Battier in the bottom left corner.

"Shet!"

Wade, who cursed in his heart, hurriedly retreated, Paul waved his hand to his teammates again, and everyone on the Clippers slowed down and slowly passed the half together.

This time, Turyaf didn't put a crazy position, but stood on the right elbow of the free throw line.

This made James's defense also follow the free throw line, when Battier guarded his left hand, Li Ze did not have any extra movements, the three-point line on the left wing, the body concealed the hip twist, after the foot force, the center of gravity was low, and the right hand held the ball to break through.

Suddenly, he got up and easily stuck half of his body, Battier desperately slid to the left back, and at the same time, LeBron James at the free throw line immediately caught up.

Li Ze was keenly aware of the Heat's defense, and just before James was about to form a package, he suddenly jumped up and passed, and the ball flew directly into the bottom right corner!

Ray Allen catches the ball with ease, doesn't make any adjustments, and throws it when he gets it!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

"Oh!"

A burst of exclamations erupted in the American Airlines arena, and at 23:13, the Clippers suddenly hit a wave of 8:0, and the head coach of Spo immediately asked for a timeout.

LeBron James regretted a little, just at the moment when he chose to pack, Turiaf made a cover for Ray Allen, Wade failed to chase in time, his side was out of position, and as a result, he lost the ball...

Ray Allen, who walked to the bench, just smiled slightly, chewed gum, looked very determined, and high-fived Li Ze in celebration, and then clapped his hands at everyone on the Clippers, indicating that this was a beautiful offense!

After a timeout, LeBron James, who had been vacated for most of the quarter, finally threw the first three-pointer of the game.

As the ball hollowed into the net, the American Airlines Arena erupted in a huge cheer!

At 23:16, LeBron James helps the Heat stabilize the situation.

Li Ze made a downward gesture, and then motioned for Paul to take control, and soon, the Heat felt some pain, and the Clippers grinded to more than 20 seconds of offense, and they could always score, even if the defense was successful, it would take a lot of effort to protect the backcourt rebound.

The slow pace of the offense brought the Clippers to 30 points, and by the end of the first quarter, the atmosphere at the American Airlines Arena was subsiding.

At 30:22, the Clippers managed to take an eight-point lead.

"It's the rhythm of the Clippers' offense, and even though the Heat have a three-pointer, they have to be more consistent on offense."

"Kayce was 5-of-7 in the first quarter, including 1-of-2 3-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, playing extremely efficiently, 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and the Heat had to limit him!"

Jeff Van Gundy didn't expect the game to turn out like this, and Wade was completely lost, scoring 3 points on 1-of-3 shooting in the quarter.

"I'm sure the Heat will respond, LeBron James is 2-of-4, including 1-of-2 three-pointers, with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover, and he's in good shape tonight!"

Commentator Mike Brin started standing up for the Heat, and he wanted to see a more intense Finals.

Coach Spo didn't want to lose his home field, so in the rotation phase, he just replaced Chalmers and replaced Norris Cole, and at the same time replaced Chris Anderson and replaced Bosh on the inside.

The Clippers had victory in sight, and Lee, who had just taken less than a minute of rest at the end of the first quarter, also came straight on, with Crawford replacing Paul, Matt Barnes replacing Ray Allen, and Griffin also re-arriving.

The pace of the game is difficult to describe in words, but the Clippers, who lead by 8 points, are getting more and more comfortable, and Griffin has taken out the strength to entangle with Randolph, desperately stuck in the position when attacking, and constantly entangles with James.

Although Jordan Jr. always can't go up defensively, he only stays on the inside, and someone jumps in to interfere, which also gives James and Wade a headache.

Excessive shrinkage defense will inevitably give the Heat a lot of open shooting opportunities from the outside.

With 2:05 left in the second quarter, Mike Miller, who came off the bench, received a pass from James and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc!

At 54:48, the Heat narrowed the gap to six points again.

However, the cheers were not as enthusiastic as before the game, and the fans of the Heat seemed to be back to the previous two seasons...

By this time, both sides had regained their main lineups, with the Heat replacing the poor Battier and the Clippers letting Griffin go off the court.

Paul, who dribbled past half the court, appeared confident at this time, and after making an offensive gesture, he attacked from the high post of the No. 5 position.

Bosh's quick pace didn't give Paul an easy chance to play alone, and after a circle, Chalmers switched again.

Wade was already a little anxious, watching Paul's unhurried attack, and loudly signaled to Chalmers:

"Squeeze through the pick-and-roll! Stick it up! ”

Just shouted two words, he was immediately bumped by Li Ze, took a step back, and the next second saw Li Ze easily catch the ball with his back in the left blocking area.

Li Ze didn't have any unnecessary shaking, after putting the ball with his right hand, he hit it twice, and at the moment when Wade came up, he suddenly took his left foot as the axis and quickly turned around in the direction of the bottom line.

At the same time, he exerted force under his feet and rose into the air, after Wade jumped up and blocked, he found that it had no effect, and Li Ze, who drifted to the left rear, was waiting for him to fall, and finally could only watch the backward jump shot!

"Huh!" The two-pointer hit again!

“easy!”

Wade heard Li Ze's light voice, anger surged in his heart, forcibly suppressed the anger, and quickly sent out the bottom line.

Watching the Clippers' shrunken defense, the Heat's outside line fell backwards, and in the end, it was LeBron James who took the initiative to take on the offensive responsibility and made an empty three-point jumper at the top of the arc!

"Bang!"

The long rebound ball popped up and was directly accepted by Li Ze, and the Heat quickly retreated.

Li Ze's dribbling speed was fast, 1 to 5 in the front court, and Mike Miller at the top of the arc just wanted to step forward to delay, but was directly crushed by Li Ze.

Breaking through to the paint area, Li Ze wrapped the ball around the crotch with his right hand, and then suddenly turned around quickly, carrying LeBron James, who came up to help defend him, and after jumping, he tilted his body in the air, dodged the opponent's block, and picked up the basket dexterously at the bottom left of the basket!

"Bang... Swish! ”

After hitting the high board, the ball fell into the basket accurately, and the Heat fans booed wildly.

"It's definitely a defensive foul! He hit me in the shoulder! ”

When retreating, Li Ze took the opportunity to complain to the referee that the penalty scale for tonight's game was too broad...

However, in the end, the linesman just raised his eyebrows at Li Ze and signaled the game to continue, and Coach De Nagro seemed to want to step forward to theorize, but was pulled by the coaching staff.

In the last minute or so, with Paul's cooperation, the Clippers easily wore out time.

At halftime, at 58:49, the Clippers still had a nine-point lead.

In the last 30 seconds of the second quarter, Li Ze wore a towel and walked to the players' tunnel with a relaxed expression, while the Big Three on the other side had no smiling faces at all, and everyone on the Heat team looked solemn.

The fans at the scene still booed Li Ze constantly, how old are you!

Before entering the players' tunnel, Li Ze was even in the mood to wave his hand to the fans of the Heat team, and silently thought in his heart:

"Three-point shot, but it's a double-edged sword!"
