Chapter 483: The Heat Lost, But James Didn't!
Swish!
Turkoglu had a good performance today, hitting two points!
The margin is back to 13 points.
Tekoglu's hand is really a metaphysics, and when facing the Eastern team, it is really hot.
Time is running out.
James felt that it was no longer realistic to rely on two-pointers to chase points, so he began to shoot three-pointers again.
Unfortunately, his magical performance in the second quarter was no longer there, shooting four three-pointers and scoring only one.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Heat 126-114 to win the first game of the Finals.
Zhou Yang played 33 minutes today and scored 27 points, and Curry played 32 minutes and scored 23 points.
It was the fewest points ever scored by the Splash Brothers since the playoffs.
James played well today, scoring 41 points, Wade 22 and Bosh 21.
It can be seen that the reason why the Warriors won today is not all due to the main lineup.
The media did a heavy analysis after the game, and they found that the Warriors played so many playoff games that it was very difficult to win.
But when it came to the finals, it was a little easier.
But the strength of the Heat Big Three is obviously not weaker than the Warriors, why did it come to this situation?
Statistically, James scored 41 points, the most of any player on either side, and he also had eight assists.
Therefore, James should not be responsible for the failure, that is, if the Heat loses, James definitely does not lose!
And Wade and Bosh, both of whom also got 20+, shows that their performance is also decent.
So who exactly is the reason for the Heat's loss? It can only be said that the problem of the head coach or the role player.
The Warriors didn't let their guard down just because Game 1 was relatively easy.
James' sudden outburst in the second quarter gave the Warriors a great warning.
If in the first game, James suddenly exploded in the fourth quarter, then the Heat could most likely take the game.
Therefore, Nelson Sr. and Zhou Yang studied very late, and they had to find a way to contain James when he broke out.
Now James is the Heat's No. 1 offensive core, as long as he is contained, then the championship is in sight.
Two days later, the finals G2 started again.
In the first quarter of this game, the Heat was full of momentum again and played extremely efficient.
James and Wade combined for 26 points in the first quarter, showing confidence that they would win.
Zhou Yang played average in the first quarter, only taking 3 shots and scoring 4 points.
Curry didn't take many shots, shooting 4-of-6 and scoring 9 points.
At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 34:26, and the Warriors trailed by 8 points.
Turkoglu became the Warriors' top scorer, scoring 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
Warriors fans are starting to worry again, the Heat are playing too hard, and they don't know if the Warriors can withstand it.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Yang appeared on the court, and he began to chase points with a substitute.
The Heat were also prepared, and after 3 minutes of play in the second quarter, they replaced the main team.
The two sides began to stalemate again, and the Heat always led by about seven or eight points.
At halftime, the score of the two teams was 59-52, and the Heat led by seven points.
The Warriors players are a little depressed, and the Heat Big Three are in great shape today, especially Bosh, who is simply possessed by a Big Mac!
In the first half, Bosh played 16 minutes and grabbed 9 rebounds, including 5 frontcourt boards, which was crazy!
You must know that since Bosh formed the Big Three, in order to make room for Jenway to make room under the basket, the offensive range has been expanding.
So his rebounds are getting smaller and smaller, and he is even ridiculed by Heat fans as a "wave board".
But today, Bosh must have felt the importance of the Finals, and he had to do his best to bring victory to the Heat.
So in the first half, the Heat were able to lead
First of all, the biggest credit is Bosh, and of course, James and Wade are also doing well.
In the Warriors locker room, Zhou Yang and his teammates chatted without nervousness or complaints.
Curry was unwilling, he took the initiative to sit next to Zhou Yang and said, "Second Brother Yang, how to play in the third quarter? The Heat are going on a fierce offensive today!"
Zhou Yang smiled: "Then it depends on our boxing champion!"
Originally, no one in the team called Chandler the boxing champion, but Zhou Yang was used to calling him in the forum before, so he always called him the boxing champion.
Later, his teammates also followed Zhou Yang to call Chandler that.
At first, Chandler didn't understand the reason for calling him the boxing champion, but after Zhou Yang explained, he also accepted the title, thinking it was very good and domineering!
And Tyson is also Chandler's idol.
Chandler raised his hand to self-examine: "It was my fault in the first half, I let Bosh play too comfortably, let him grab so many rebounds, I will hold him down in the second half!"
Zhou Yang walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't have too much pressure, Bosh is very capable, and it is normal to break out once in a while, just fight according to the usual intensity, and I will help defend!"
Chandler nodded: "Haha, I'm relieved to have you to help defend me!"
The second half began.
It may be that the Heat are worried about the outbreak of Yongsan's madness, so the Heat came up in the third quarter and strengthened their defense.
Curry advanced with the ball and was almost cut off by Chalmers, and his movements were very rough.
But after Zhou Yang received the ball, he stepped back and made a three-point shot, hey!
Let's get three points first.
This was Zhou Yang's first three-pointer shot today, which scared the Heat players.
In this year's playoffs, Zhou Yang didn't make many three-point shots, and he gave up all the opportunities for three-point shots to his teammates.
But today's Zhou Yang actually shot three points at the beginning of the second half.
Crazy?
The Heat attacked, and James held the ball through half court and passed to Bosh again.
He hopes Bosh can continue his explosive performance in the first half and bully the Warriors' interior line.
After Bosh received the ball, he chiseled twice under the basket, then collected the ball and prepared to make another turnaround jumper.
With his strength, it is impossible to be tough with Chandler, so he scored in the first half mainly by jumping shots.
At the moment when Bosh wanted to jump shot, Zhou Yang suddenly killed, stretched out his right hand, snap!
Broke Bosh's ball.
Bosh was startled, turned around and saw that Zhou Yang had already started to start.
James and Wade immediately went to block, but Zhou Yang made a ground-hitting pass and passed directly to Curry, who started on the right side.
Curry chased down three points and shot!
Boom!
Unfortunately, the ball was a little shorter and bounced high.
Just when James wanted to protect the rebound, a dark shadow burst up from behind him, bang!
This person actually scored a deduction through James!
Who is so bold?
James was furious, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Zhou Yang!
When did he come over?
James remembered that Zhou Yang hadn't passed half the court just now, why did he suddenly appear in the penalty area?
