Chapter Seventy-Three: The Alliance Can't Watch It Anymore?
There have been no games in the past few days, and the media and fans are quite lively.
However, whether it is for the Heat or the Warriors, social media is basically closed at this time, and both teams are concentrating on preparation.
Soon.
NBA2012~2013 Season Finals G2 once again kicked off at the American Airlines Center.
American Airlines Center Arena.
The defeat in the last game, although it was a bit disappointing for the fans.
But the finals are seven, not one.
In the finals last season, the Heat actually lost one game at the beginning, and then immediately found their form and directly failed to let the Thunder win the championship.
Many Heat fans feel that this is a problem of slow heating for the Heat.
The last game was familiar with the Warriors' style of play, and the next game is the feast of the Heat.
At this time, the American Airlines Center was still full of stars, and everyone still looked full of fighting spirit.
Of course, those who have no fighting spirit will naturally not come tonight.
The second game of the finals.
It's okay to lose one game, but if you lose two games in a row or at home, then even if their overall strength of the Heat is stronger, it will be difficult to turn the tables again.
So this one is really important for the Heat.
This heat is going to fight!
The momentum of the Heat can be seen from the players' entrance ceremony.
The fans at the scene were still excited, while the Heat players were grim-faced.
Especially James, whose eyes are firm and full of fighting spirit.
It's not just a battle for the Heat, it's a battle to defend face and honor, and for head coach Erik Spoelstra.
It's also a battle for him to break the doubts personally.
After the last loss, many people began to comment that he was just a lying coach who won a championship with the Heat's Big Three.
There are still many people who think that he is just a puppet supported by Riley, and he has no ability at all.
The Heat's configuration is obviously much more luxurious than the Warriors.
James has been targeted and has played good statistics, and Wade's statistics are acceptable.
Even Bosh, who is usually responsible for carrying the blame, actually has good statistics on the court.
Then he, Heat coach Eric Spoelstra, is on the back.
So this one is very crucial for Eric Spoelstra.
Eric Spoelstra has some dark circles under his eyes, which is the result of his overnight research on the video of Su Chen's coaching games in the past few days.
At the same time, he didn't understand something, and he didn't choose to consult his teacher Riley for the sake of face.
Riley also had no reservations, and worked with his disciples to study how to target the new Warriors' new coach with this small-ball tactic.
When shaking hands before the game.
Eric Spoelstra's eyes were all staring at Su Chen.
This made Su Chen almost laugh.
It's not that he meant to make fun of Eric Spoelstra, it's that Eric Spoelstra has a look that looks a lot like a later player named Siakam.
It's the Siakam with two eyes and a bulge.
Soon, the game began.
Heat starting lineup: Udonis Haslem (C), Chris Bosh (PF), LeBron James (SF), Dwyane Wade (SG), Mario Moneys (PG).
Warriors starting lineup: Festus Azeri (C), Draymond Green (PF), Richard Jefferson (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry (PG).
There were no changes to the starting line-ups for either side.
As soon as this game started, the Warriors didn't feel very good.
Except for Curry, who can maintain a good shooting percentage, the other players feel a little cold.
Even Thompson didn't feel like it today and became more iron, but he shot more firmly.
Klay Thompson, became Hulai Thompson.
Eric Spoelstra actually had the meaning of testing the feel of the Warriors players at the beginning.
It was found that the other players of the Warriors had a mediocre hand tonight, and immediately adopted a strategy against Curry.
This has made the Heat work well.
The first quarter is over.
Heat 23:18 Warriors.
At the end of the first quarter, they took a five-point lead over the Warriors.
Su Chen is not without countermeasures.
But the small actions of blocking and dismantling that I usually don't blow much are starting to be arrested by the referee tonight.
Especially David Lee, his pick-and-roll quality has always been average, and if you want to achieve a good pick-and-roll effect, you have to make small moves on the pick-and-roll.
This makes the Warriors, who already have an average feel, lack the support of high-quality blocking and pick-and-roll, and the offensive end becomes lacking.
The referee didn't have a double standard this time.
The heat block is also blown with small movements.
But the Heat is not a team that relies on blocking and dismantling, the Heat is originally a breakthrough stream, and they can do it without blocking and dismantling.
Half time over.
Heat 50:39 Warriors.
In the second quarter, the Heat expanded the margin to 11 points.
At this point, Su Chen already knew that this game was not on the Warriors' side.
The Heat Big Three is the most popular team in the league today, and it is a guarantee of the league's ratings and ticket sales.
Xiao Hua will not take office until next season, and the league is no different from an ordinary team for the Warriors at this time.
Let the Warriors win all two of the Heat's home courts, and then three consecutive Warriors' home courts, the suspense of the game will drop significantly.
This is not allowed by the Union.
The 2-2-1-1-1 format of the finals was only changed in October 2013 by a vote of the league's board of directors.
This rule will take effect the following Season.
In other words, it's still a 2-3-2 format.
After playing two home games, the Heat will face the Warriors three in a row on the road.
In fact, Su Chen has always felt that this competition system is beneficial to the warriors.
The pre-game analysis of the Heat's home-court advantage is not at all.
If the Warriors win one of the first two games, then they can attack the championship in the next three consecutive home games!
Just one home win is already good for the Warriors, let alone two.
If the Warriors win these two home games, and then three home games in a row, it is conceivable that the ratings will drop a lot in the future.
In fact, before the game, Su Chen felt that the alliance would make a move tonight.
Now it's really a shot.
If the Warriors have a banging pair of hands tonight, and the other role players are super accurate, then it is possible to win this game.
But tonight, only Curry felt online, and even Thompson didn't reach the level of normal feel.
With the league shooting, it will be too difficult to win this game tonight.
At the time of the locker room.
This time, Su Chen didn't make any passionate speeches or make any big moves.
Just tell the players to play well.
The overall strength of the Warriors is under the Heat, and there is no need to force the league to fight this game.
