The Wizards controlled the rhythm of the game as soon as they came up, especially Li Kaiming, who was very involved in today's game, and in just one quarter of the game, he scored 9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

It doesn't seem like there is much to score, but the impact of the game is no less than the day when he cut 60+, mainly because under his leadership, the Wizards are full of intensity on both offensive and defensive ends.

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led the Heat by four points, 28-24.

In the second quarter, Li Kaiming still did not get off the court, and Sanders changed to a five-out lineup, ready to open up the firepower on the offensive end in the second quarter.

On the Heat side, Coach Spo also changed to the Heat's version of the five-outside lineup.

Chalmers plays point guard, the point guard is Ray Allen, the small forward position is Shaun Battier, James swings to the No. 4 position, and the center is still Li Kaiming's old friend Bosh.

When the game came back, the Heat attacked first.

Without Wade as a point of possession, the Heat's rotation lineup is centered on James.

Chalmers possessed the ball past half court and handed it to James, who opted to call Battier over to cover.

The No. 4 position in the Wizards' five-out lineup is the old cold leg of Rashad Lewis, and of course Sanders can't directly let him defend James alone, which is almost the same as the dish delivered to the door.

So on the defensive end, Sanders made a small adjustment, letting Leonard defend James, and Lewis going to play against the Heat's shooter Battier, it just so happens that these two buddies don't have much ball-handling ability, and it's good to stay in the bottom corner and chat together.

But some things can't be dodged, and James certainly won't choose to rush to the basket with the facial paralysis in front of him, and there are better options on the court.

Lewis and Leonard both opted to raise the delay, James stepped back to open the distance, and then distributed the ball to Battier, who was split beyond the three-point line, who caught the ball and shot the three-point iron.

Li Kaiming, who was inside, picked up the rebound and handed it to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt.

The Wizards put on a triangle offensive formation, with two people on the same side of Li Kaiming on the outside line to form a triangle, and the other two shooters on the other side to open up space.

Hinrich gave the ball in, and the Heat's bag soon arrived, but Leonard, who was on the same side of Li Kaiming, decisively chose to cut inside, and Li Kaiming passed the ball to Leonard who rushed into the restricted area, who hit a layup unguarded!

30-24, the Wizards scored one point in the second quarter.

The Heat dribbled over half the court, James called a timeout this time to start more quickly, and Lewis was still a little slower to grab it, and James caught the opportunity to pass it in one step.

rushed to the basket and met Li Kaiming's frame, James twisted his body in the air and shot, his legs split in the air into an ugly outer eight, like a river fresh that had just been fished out of Yangcheng Lake.

Li Kaiming's position was maintained quite well, but the referee on the baseline still blew his defensive foul.

In the past few games, the players of the Wizards have been tortured by this whistle to the point of losing their temper.

Of course, this kind of temperlessness does not mean that they have given up resistance, but basically they don't have a very excited attitude and referee theory, anyway, they will find it back in the players of the Heat team......

James walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws to help the Heat stabilize the point difference.

26-30, the Wizards served to the frontcourt, the triangle offensive tactics began to work again, Li Kaiming ran without the ball along the three-point line, came to the top of the arc and Hinrich who held the ball handed him a hand, the two people on the Heat line were decisive to wrap him, and Hinrich took the opportunity to go down!

Li Kaiming found the gap between Bosh and Chalmers, and a shot was given to Hinrich, who rushed to the free throw line, and James under the basket was already in place when the latter received the ball, but it was Leonard who was released from outside the three-point line.

Hinrich made a good choice in an instant, and directly hit his own mid-range shot!

The Heat's current defense is mainly the Wizards' three-point and basket, which is not so tight for the mid-range, or in other words, it is already very good to be able to prevent two of the three, and few teams can take care of all three.

The score came to 32-26, and the Wizards led by six points.

The Heat attacked, a no-ball cover on James' side, forced Lewis and Leonard to switch defenses, and then received the ball at the waist position, and a turning protector pushed Lewis to the basket!

Lewis is worthy of being an experienced veteran, and in this case, he knows that he must not cause trouble to Li Kaiming, the core of the team, let alone let the latter fall into a foul crisis!

So Lewis directly slapped James and pushed him out of the bottom line!

Honk!

The referee immediately blew for a foul on Lewis, and James got out of a group of cameramen and spread his hands and complained, "Isn't this a deliberate push?" Shouldn't a malicious foul be blown? ”

In the face of the much-talked-about son of Amerika, the referee did not dare to have any slackness and hurriedly explained to James.

Seeing the referee's attitude so good, the gloom on James' face lightened slightly, but he listened and noticed that something was wrong.

Listening to the referee's meaning, tonight is the home court of the Wizards, and I have to give some face......

What's the situation? Didn't you say before that the league would keep us qualified?

James keenly sensed the meaning of the referee's words, and his brow furrowed.

Is the Alliance going to give up on me?

Risking the world's disapproval, the formation of the pinnacle triumvirate, but unfortunately it is still nothing after the third year, and James is naturally very anxious in his heart.

If you don't come to the Heat, with the operation of the Cavaliers, plus the publicity and preference of the media, it is possible to get a regular season mVp in the past three years......

On the contrary, Li Kaiming has been the regular season mVp for two consecutive years, and he led the team to win the championship last season, which has a tendency to succeed the first person in the league......

Hearing the referee's words, James couldn't help but think of the worst outcome: the league was ready to give up on him, and then fully support Li Kaiming as the new speaker......

However, James really thought too much, and the referee's meaning was actually superficial, and there was no deeper meaning at all.

If I have to emphasize the deeper meaning, it is that the league doesn't want this tie-break to become too ugly, and if it still wants to let the Wizards play six on the Heat's home court before, it will definitely cause a drop in ratings!

Ratings are a lifeline for NbA!

Although he James is now recognized as the darling of the league, he also needs to make concessions for ratings.

No one noticed that standing on the free throw line at this time, a rare trace of confusion and panic flashed in the eyes of the distraught James.

In such a state of mind, James' two serves were all off, which made Mav Albert on the commentary bench also very puzzled!

"What is LeBron doing? This is a tie-break, why can't you grasp this kind of opportunity to score? ”

No one can answer Albert's question, or rather, this is a question on the minds of many people.

Li Kaiming protected the rebounding ball and passed it to Hinrich in the front court, because the Heat team's return defense speed is very fast, and Hinrich is not good at breaking through the basket, so he can only brake outside the three-point line and wait for Li Kaiming to pass the half.

After coming to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming and Lewis went over to make a double cover for Hinrich, and the Heat naturally focused most of their attention on Li Kaiming.

Hinrich managed to flick the ball off to Lewis in the empty box.

Lewis received the ball and made a lame layup, but was interfered by Bosh rushing from behind, and Battier defended the rebound.

James held the ball and hit quickly, and after arriving in the frontcourt, he hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his head to the basket!

Leonard's choice was very smart, using his body to resist, and then constantly interfering with James' vision with his other hand, and definitely not cutting the ball and stealing.

After rushing to the inside, James found that the speed had slowed down, which made it difficult to challenge Li Kaiming, so he jumped up in the air to distribute the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner.

At this time, Li Kaiming, who was under the basket, suddenly burst out like lightning, and his long arm was a little on James's passing path like a ghost, and then the pass deviated from the direction and was turned around by Thompson, who was forty-five degrees on the other side.

Seeing that the ball had been converted, Li Kaiming used his strength at his feet, and the powerful explosive force instantly rushed out from under the basket in the backcourt with his body and rushed towards the frontcourt.

The Heat didn't expect the ball to be stealed, so Li Kaiming broke through the Heat's human wall that had not yet had time to form with lightning speed, and received a pass from Thompson after arriving in the frontcourt, gliding in the air and taking off, with one arm heavy dunk!

The dunk ignited the center of the mcI and became a turning point in the second quarter.

In the following games, James was immersed in the referee's words and self-doubt, and behaved as a completely different person on the court.

On the offensive end, hesitant to play and when to pass.

On the defensive end, he was even more distracted at every turn, and he saw Spo on the sidelines jumping straight to his feet.

I can't even take the free throw opportunity that comes to the door, and basically two free throws can only score one......

Wade, who was sitting on the bench, and Spo, who was standing next to him, both had a bad feeling in their hearts after seeing this familiar James......

That's right, that's the same James in the 2011 Finals, and when he gets into this situation, the damage to the team is huge.

If you can't attack and defend, you can't make mistakes.

Let James lead the team like this, and the Heat will not be far from going fishing!

Fortunately, Spo is a very flexible coach, and when he took advantage of a dead ball, he immediately replaced James and let Wade lead the team.

As the "soul of the team" of the Heat, Haslem began to perform another of his functions, that is, to give James psychological massage and counseling.

This kind of behavior may seem funny, but most teams really need such a mascot.

Without James' sudden threat, the Wizards, under the leadership of Li Kaiming, were on fire in the second quarter, leading the Heat by 9 points at halftime, 57-48!

Li Kaiming played 22 minutes in the half, scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals!

This statistic made Barkley in the commentary bench a little unbearable, "Lee won't want to get a quadruple-double or something in this game......
