Chapter 440: James Erupts

Before the start of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on June 7, the Western Spurs GDP combination had already decided with the Thunder Sanshao, and the series did not even reach Game 7, the aging Spurs were taken away by the Thunder Sanshao 4-2, Durant led the team to the Finals for the first time in his career, and it seems that it is his turn to score this year.

The opponent in the west has been decided, and the east side is still fighting hard, so all the eyes of the world on NbA are on the Wizards and the Heat, wanting to see whether the Big Three of space battleships The Heat is more old, or the sudden Li Kaiming is more dominant?

It wasn't long before the answer was revealed, and on June 7, two days later, the Wizards-Heat game was played at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Probably because there are too many schedules ahead in the West, in order not to wait too long for the finals like Mars hitting the earth, the interval between each game in the division finals is two days, whether or not the venue is to be changed, which means that whether it is the Heat or the Wizards advancing to the finals, they will have less rest time after the division finals than the Thunder!

Unconsciously, the Thunder team has formed an advantage in terms of physical strength.

The familiar eight o'clock in the evening, the familiar American Airlines arena.

The game has been played to the sixth game, the cards that should be played by both sides have basically been played, and the rest is to play according to the tactics step by step, and then compete which side has stronger physical strength and will!

The two sides were able to draw 2-2 in the previous 4 games, indicating that the gap between the two teams is not large, even if there are objective referee factors that play a role from time to time, but the Heat is a team with an epic triumvirate after all, and if you change individual Eastern teams, even if the referee Black Wizards can solve the opponent within 5 games.

In Game 6, the pressure on the backward Heat team is naturally greater, after all, a game can determine whether the team wins or goes home.

Under this kind of huge pressure, some people will be crushed by the pressure, and before the game starts, they have already had the fear of defeat in their hearts, which will affect their game status and performance, and even more hesitant to play, and they can't even play at the usual level.

In fact, in the face of this situation, it is to distinguish whether a player is a historical superstar or an ordinary star, those who are famous in history, in the face of this pressure, not only will not be crushed by the pressure, but like carbon, under the huge pressure to complete self-sublimation, and finally become a dazzling diamond!

In the opening jump ball session, under the pressure of the whole court, Bracy's play was still stable, helping the Wizards win the first offensive opportunity.

Hinrich dribbled over half court, Li Kaiming went to block and dismantle, these two people's blocking and dismantling Heat team has long been familiar with it, Bosh has been put on the starter, he and Chalmers two people very tacitly blocked Li Kaiming, who was ready to go down, leaving a route for Hinrich to attack inside.

Hinrich dribbled to the restricted area, and in the face of the center's retreat, he chose to throw directly in the free throw line, but James next to him suddenly let go of Leonard and chose to come over to interfere with Hinrich's shot, the latter missed the throw, and the whole Heat team worked together to get stuck in the position and won the backcourt rebound.

Chalmers dribbled the ball over half court and handed it to James, who was stuck in Leonard's back at the waist to ask for the ball, who changed from his back to a face frame after receiving the ball, and then suddenly broke through with his elbow, used his tough body to fight against the immature Leonard, rushed to the basket, and scored a layup against Bradge's defense!

James's desire to attack tonight is so strong, even in the face of two people's defense, he has to shoot himself!

There was applause and celebration in the American Airlines arena, but James did not put on any celebratory poSE this time, which was the same as the previous game.

The Wizards served from the bottom line, and after coming to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming also chose to ask for the ball in the waist position, but the Heat used the bag to prevent Hinrich, and there were too many assistant defenders around him, Hinrich did not dare to pass the ball, Li Kaiming had to start blocking and dismantling his teammates on the inside, and finally Thompson ran out of the point guard for a second with the help of cover on the outside, and then caught the ball!

It's a pity that he didn't score, James grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break, like a tank that stepped on the accelerator to the end, all the Wizards players on the road couldn't stop his rush, James dribbled to the basket, and caused a foul against Brackey's defense and successfully scored!

4-0, there is one more chance to add a penalty!

James still has no intention of celebrating, and Heat fans have never seen such a serious James, like a lion, glaring at his opponent, ready to eat him alive!

Plus free throws, 5-0!

The momentum at the beginning of the game was seized by the Heat, Li Kaiming had to stand up, and after arriving in the front court, he still asked for the ball inside, this time Hinrich passed quickly, but the Heat's help defense came faster, almost the moment he received the ball, Li Kaiming was surrounded by James and Bosh one after the other!

At the same time, the rest of the Heat team also began to rotate on the defensive end, and the player who was furthest behind Li Kaiming let go of the bottom corner, and then the rest of the people rotated in turn, blocking all the positions that Li Kaiming could see!

But the Wizards' tactics are not one person to play four people, Li Kaiming got the ball at the same time, the Wizards' shooters also began to run, Hinrich responded on the same side, but was under the defense, and Thompson used Bracy's cover to successfully come to the bottom corner of the opposite side!

This is a completely empty seat, but the problem is that unless Li Kaiming also has eyes in the back of his head, he can't see Thompson who is in the empty seat at this time!

But after a season of running-in, Li Kaiming already knows the running habits of his starting teammates, and while protecting the ball, he knows that there must be a vacancy in the bottom corner!

And only Thompson can't see his teammates, who else but him?

So in Zhang Weiping's ghost-like exclamation, he passed the ball directly without looking at the back of the head, and the target was pointed directly at the bottom corner of the opposite side!

This ball is really tricky, even the Heat players in the passing path did not react, especially Bosh who defended Li Kaiming behind his back, the ball simply flew past his scalp, but this kind of risky pass was just right in Thompson's hands!

The latter received the ball and sank his center of gravity slightly, and then jumped directly to shoot his wrist, and the Heat's Chalmers rushed over to save without giving up, but it was useless, and with the sound of a bang, the Wizards scored the first point of the night!

5 to 3!

The Heat continued to serve and attack, and tonight's Heat players and Spo chose to fully trust James, who also lived up to the trust of his teammates, not only with a high success rate under the assault basket, but also with an extremely accurate shot from the outside.

In the first quarter, he scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and even Li Kaiming had to admit that James was indeed strong tonight!

Of course, there are still necessary home whistles, but fortunately there is no outrageous front airport tonight, probably considering that the Heat team is in good shape, even without the help of the referee, they can win the game.

Li Kaiming was heavily defended by the Heat in the first quarter, and he only made two personal shots, hitting a fast-break three-pointer and scoring 3 points in a single quarter, but his passing shone in the first quarter, with 4 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter, but even so, the Wizards still trailed the Heat by 3 points 25-28.

Thompson's performance tonight can be described as a dazzle for the Wizards, a rookie played the division finals for the first time in his career, and he was able to face the boos of tens of thousands of fans on the road, and threw the ball into it as usual!

There is a price to be paid for wrapping Li Kaiming, and tonight's Thompson hit two three-pointers in the first quarter and became Li Kaiming's most reliable partner.

However, Leonard, who had been stable before, finally showed his immature side in the face of James, who was crazy tonight.

Leonard is indeed a very talented defensive player, but this is only his first year, even if the Wizards and Li Kaiming train him like crazy, they can't play a role in pulling out the seedlings, first of all, in terms of physical strength and strength, the serious James is definitely not something that the current Leonard can stop.

So when James struggled to break through and could shoot in the face of Leonard's defense, Leonard looked a little embarrassed in the starting lineup, because he not only couldn't prevent James, but also became a space black hole when attacking, allowing James who was opposite him to arbitrarily empty him to wrap Li Kaiming.

After a short break, the second quarter began, and the Heat bought a little rest for James, who played the entire first quarter, and now Wade took the court with a rotating lineup.

On the Wizards' side, Li Kaiming led the five, Leonard was replaced with his head down, although Sanders was still encouraging him, but in Leonard's heart, he had the desire to become stronger!

He doesn't want to be just a defensive engineer, defense is very important, but if he doesn't attack and only defend, he will look very weak at some moments, like now, so he has to improve, he has to play on the offensive end, at least he can't drag his teammates back.

In the face of the Heat rotation lineup without James, the Wizards' five-foreign lineup is a group of veterans plus Thompson, who has a very hard hand tonight, so under the leadership of Li Kaiming, they quickly overtook the score, and the Heat team couldn't prevent Li Kaiming and his passing.

The Wizards' team cooperation has been seamless after a season of running-in, even if the Heat can fill the first two vacant positions through defensive rotation, but the Wizards' players can quickly get empty spots again with subsequent pass balls and runs, and at this time, the defensive formation of the Heat players has long been messed up.

Midway through the second quarter, with the Wizards leading the Heat by two points at 36-34, Spo took advantage of an official timeout to bring James back and then brought out the team's strongest lineup, Chalmers, Wade, James, Battier and Bosh.

Although Leonard couldn't guard against James tonight, he couldn't make it easy for the latter, so Sanders took Leonard on the court again, and the Wizards' lineup became Hinrich, Thompson, Leonard, Lewis and Li Kaiming.

Around this lineup, the two sides started the last six minutes of the first half, the sound of violent muscle collision accompanied by the sound of wheezing one after another, constantly sounded on the court, both sides showed the strongest defensive will and team cooperation, in this case, no one can easily break through to the basket.

Even James and Li Kaiming, if they want to go to the basket, they must break through the defense, and finally hang a defender to score a layup, and the referee also let go of the scale of the blowing penalty in a timely manner, so the last period of the first half has become the most airtight episode of defense since the start of the East Finals!

In the end, the first half ended at 42-43, with the Wizards trailing by one point, that is, in a six-minute period, the Wizards scored six points, while the Heat scored nine points.

The main thing is that James was really hot tonight, he was 10-of-12 in the half, had 23 points and 5 rebounds, and he got half the team's points alone, and only made 5 free throws in the half.

Of course, Li Kaiming in the second quarter was not far behind, 6 of 9 in the first half, got 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, counting points and assists, at least 30 of the team's 42 points have something to do with him.
