Chapter 65: Strong Willpower
The final quarter of the game began.
James was not substituted and was directly in the lineup.
Su Chen saw that James still dared to come up, so he naturally wanted to send players to continue to consume James.
But James in this section is different.
As soon as it started, James was asking for the ball without the ball.
When Barnes went up to defend James and tried to confront James to prevent James from receiving the ball, James hit Barnes directly.
Barnes was hit by James's powerful blow and was knocked out of the way.
Taking advantage of Barnes' stumbling, James rushed straight inside.
Jefferson was also on the court, but because Barnes was knocked out of the way, Jefferson's bag didn't keep up in time.
James rushed straight into it and it was a violent buckle!
Bang!
The powerful dunk made the basket shake.
Heat 80:75 Warriors.
After James buckled, he beat his chest domineeringly, and his eyes were full of determination.
"Hey, he's got an elbow foul."
Su Chen roared at the referee.
Su Chen was on the sidelines, and just now he saw James elbow Barnes, which should have been a foul move.
However, the referee ignored Su Chen at all, and even gave Su Chen a blank look.
Obviously, when the Warriors did those actions to James before, the referees saw it.
Since the level of the whistle is relatively loose, then everyone is loose and cannot be double-standard.
Su Chen nodded, since it was this scale, then he would consider inviting James to drink Lafite.
Su Chen gestured and asked Carl Landry to get ready to play.
Karl Landry nodded, threw his training suit on the ground, and walked to the front of the technical table.
However, halfway through, Su Chen pulled Carl Landry.
"Tougher defensively against James."
Su Chen nodded to Carl Landry.
Carl Landry nodded, immediately understanding.
He almost got into a fight with James just now, what does it mean to be tougher, Carl Landry is realizing.
It just so happened that Thompson was rushed by James, who was switching defenses, and directly popped the ball out.
The ball goes out of bounds and Carl Landry comes in.
After this offensive round was fled, there was no time to attack, so I could only make a hasty throw, and then hurry back to the defense.
The Warriors returned to defense early and were not found by the Heat to play an offensive and defensive transition fast break.
Seeing Karl Landry on the court, James chose to meet it tough this time.
Karl Landry was going to collide directly with James, but this ball James got up early, and Carl Landry was knocked directly to the ground.
Bang!
After knocking Karl Landry to the ground, James got up and slammed it down.
Honk!
Before Carl Landry could be pulled up from his teammates on the ground, the referee blew the whistle.
Just now Karl Landry was blown for a blocking foul, so this ball, James is 2+1.
Hearing that he was blown 2+1, before his teammates could pull it, Carl Landry got up directly to find the referee to justify.
But the referee obviously didn't want to hear him at all, and didn't even look at him.
Jefferson is still an old man, and when he looks at the referee, he knows what the referee is going to do.
If Carl Landry continues to say that, the guarantee will have to be blown a T.
Jefferson ran over and pressed his body against Karl Landry to calm him down.
In the past games, Su Chen intentionally or unintentionally established the position of the big brother in the Jefferson locker room, and in many of these games, Jefferson also led by example to gain the trust of his teammates.
Seeing Big Brother Jefferson stop himself like this, Carl Landry also calmed down a little and gave up complaining about the referee.
James walked to the free-throw line.
“MVP!”
“MVP!”
“MVP!”
The Heat fans shouted MVP shouts, and it was obvious that James at this moment conquered the Miami fans.
James shook his hand, then took the ball and made a free throw.
The ball goes in.
Heat 83:75 Warriors.
As soon as it came up, the difference was stretched to 8 points.
Honk!
Su Chen also raised his hand and called a timeout.
James went berserk!
That would at least interrupt James' momentum.
"This wave of James has brought the Heat to a boost, and it's hard to target."
The old assistant coach Ron Adams was experienced, and he immediately saw the situation on the field and discussed it with Su Chen.
"Fight Box-1 tactics."
However, Su Chen just picked up the tactical board and said expressionlessly.
Box-1 tactics?
Ron Adams is certainly no stranger to this tactic, after all, Popovich had only used the Box-1 tactic against Curry before.
Unexpectedly, Su Chen actually wanted to use the Box-1 tactic against James.
"Box-1 tactics against James, isn't that right?"
Ron Adams is not raising the bar with Su Chen.
He said it from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, Su Chen knew that the Box-1 tactic was not suitable for James.
Because what James is best at is the ball after the break, and his passing vision is very wide.
He can get his role players to handle the ball against the Grizzlies because the Grizzlies' role players aren't accurate enough to punish the Warriors.
But the Heat's shooter group can be called luxurious.
Ray Allen, Battier, Miller, James Jones, Mario Money, and Lewis, who fell out of the rotation, are all shooters.
Bosh rarely shoots three-pointers these days, but his mid-range is accurate and can just as much of a space.
James gives these people a quick point.
Moreover, once James breaks through the pressing defenders, ONE doesn't work, and the box behind it probably won't work either.
Because James rushed up, it was very difficult to stop.
Making fouls, 2+1, and giving a baseline three-point shot are all things James can easily do.
Useful for Curry is purely because Curry is not big enough, and the passing route is easy to cover, and it is difficult to cover his passing route in the face of a tall forward like James.
However, Su Chen dared to use Box-1 tactics, which was not unreasonable at all.
"Green, you're going to play the role of one, but I want you to let him shoot threes properly and don't get broken by James."
"But it's not just three points, put one defense and one like this, disrupt his rhythm."
Su Chen said to Draymond Green.
Obviously, this is the reason why Su Chen dared to use the Box-1 tactic against James.
In this playoffs, James is shooting 35 percent from three-point range.
It's not high to say high, but it's not low to say low.
Su Chen didn't arrange to shoot James before, but now James has gradually developed three points.
But this time it's different.
Su Chen knew very well that James did not rest the whole game.
It seems that James is crazy, but in fact, he is only playing with strong willpower.
You can still use brute force with willpower, but whether there is still that kind of willpower on the three-point shot is a question mark.
James can maintain high hitting in the face of Green's real and false shots under such high physical exertion, which is considered James to be really powerful.
