Chapter 1827: 8 Points in a Single Game, Reverse Super God
Trailing by 17 points at halftime, the Heat once again pushed themselves to the edge of the cliff, and this time it was even more miserable than the first game, because in the first game many people still felt that the Heat had a chance to come back in the second half, but this time In the game, almost no one believed that the Heat had the ability or the chance to escape Staples.
The cause was naturally Ji Feng's domineering three consecutive blocks in a single round. If blocking three shots in one round is incredible enough, then if the target was James, it would make this round even more legendary.
As Pierce said gloatingly during the break: "The moment Ji Feng put his hand on the basketball, the game was over."
Anyone who watched the first half will never be able to refute this sentence, because after that series of blocks, James completely disappeared from the game.
Before Ji Feng blocked the shot, James scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. After Ji Feng blocked the shot, James was completely invisible. Not only did he not score a point, he even had almost no assists. You were even very uncomfortable on the court. It's hard to see the shot where James appears. Unless the photographer misses him, he will quickly switch to it and then quickly pull back to the offensive player. James only took 6 shots in the entire first half, and his data stayed at 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Some fans jokingly said that James spent two games to degrade himself from the level of Ji Feng, to the level of Artest, and then to the level of Barnes.
"When it comes to reverse super gods, I only obey James!" This sentence became a hot post on Hupu.
There is nothing wrong with this statement. In the first half, Ji Feng scored 13 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals. Artest scored 7 points. Even Barnes came off the bench for only 6 and a half minutes and scored 6 points with 2 three-pointers. points, saying that James is on the same level as Barnes is really not an injustice to him!
The Heat were able to score 40 points thanks to Wade and Bosh. The two brothers really tried their best in the first half and had to score hard on the offensive end. Wade scored 15 points in the first half and Bosh scored 12 points. The two teamed up. He scored 27 points, more than half of the total points, and the defensive end had to constantly make up for the holes left by James.
Just like Barkley said: "Wade, I didn't expect that Bosh didn't fall out with James in the first half."
However, their teammates were too frustrated. It was difficult for the two of them to fight with two fists. There was still a 17-point deficit at halftime. Based on the comparison of the two teams' conditions, it seemed that they were going to die.
In addition to some die-hard fans on the Internet, many Heat fans are already shouting for refunds. There are also many neutral fans who say, is this how you brag about winning the championship before the game? Why do we think you are the Lakers' 4-year Finals player? The worst opponent ever.
Mavericks fans all said that if we weren't in the Western Conference, the Heat would have gone home to fish a long time ago and played a trivial Finals. They strongly demanded that the Eastern and Western Conferences be reorganized. The Finals would not be as good as the conference finals.
Magic fans happily expressed that finally, we are not the worst one. It seems that this is a problem in the Eastern Conference, and the Magic is not to blame.
Celtics fans also said, please increase your efforts, sweep the Heat 4-0, and let them be our companions.
Forget about the Cavaliers fans, those who are so excited are about to sell their houses. They all said that James should not play because undercover agents can't get much money.
Of course, there are also Heat fans who posted messages online telling them not to be complacent and that the Heat will definitely recover.
It's just that in the face of crazy public opinion, such remarks are like a small boat in the sea, and a wave will never be seen again.
The turmoil from the outside world can't be felt in the game for the time being, but the first half was once again beaten. James's invisible appearance still caused some disagreements in the Heat locker room. Wade couldn't bear it anymore. He faced James for the first time. He yelled: "LeBron, what are you thinking about! Don't hesitate, we need you. Do you want to see us return to the home court with such a disastrous defeat? Then let's just give up and just disband!"
Wade has been playing brother basketball since James came to the Heat. The two have basically never had any quarrels. They have always cooperated happily and closely. After losing the first game, Wade even prepared an internal dinner specifically to comfort James. At the party, James also repeatedly said that he would explode in this game, but he was beaten like this again in the first half, and Wade broke the defense a little.
"Calm down! Dwayne and LeBron must not want to do this either. We need to find our own rhythm and stay united." Seeing James not speaking, Spoelstra hurriedly came out to smooth things over. This is what he does most often in the team. Things, leading the Big Three to him, a 90% new coach, is not that simple. Just now, James is playing so rubbish, and he can't directly scold him.
He couldn't curse. The situation was already like this. James' recovery was the Heat's only chance to win. He only hoped that James could return to normal in the second half so that they would still have a chance to fight.
However, James did not say a word during the entire 15-minute break. He just said that he would do his best before going on the court.
The result of this all-out output in the third quarter was 1 of 3 shots and 2 points. James' score in the third quarter stayed at 8 points, and he was still 2 points away from reaching double figures...
"James only scored 8 points in the three quarters, which was the lowest score in the three quarters of his career in the playoffs, and he only took 9 shots, which was also a new low in his career. It seems that he still has not recovered from the blow." Smith said .
"However, the Lakers did not play well in this quarter, and their shooting percentage was not high. Ji Feng only played 6 and a half points and scored 9 points. In the three quarters, he scored 22 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds. This is Ji Feng's personal performance this season. The triple-double in the first game of the playoffs continued to set his own record, but except for him, Kobe, Gasol and others had average touch, so the point difference in this quarter was narrowed by two points," Barkley said.
In his opinion, the Lakers have relaxed a little, but that's normal. It's normal for players who are ahead by so many points to be mentally relaxed. It's only because the Heat players are so incompetent that the Lakers only managed to catch up by two points when they were given a chance. , there is a big difference between 10 points and 8 points, but the difference between 17 points and 15 points is not very obvious.
But Heat fans are already in tears. You may not believe it, but this is the first time in two games that the Heat have led in a single quarter!
But soon they were not so happy. In the third quarter, the score was not widened, so the two teams naturally did not make substitutions. The fourth quarter was still a normal game, but James' performance was really eye-catching.
He came up with an offensive foul, and then the roaring referee was called for a technical foul. Ji Feng scored a point in vain, and then his shot bounced out again, and the Lakers once again seized the opportunity to counterattack and score.
What's even more outrageous is that this was the only time James took a shot in the fourth quarter. James made 0 of 1 shots in the entire fourth quarter. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Heat 111-90, and James scored only 8 points! ! !
