Chapter 1849 The Belated First Victory, Is the Peak Showdown Finally About to Take Place?

The Heat lead the Lakers by 7 points in the third quarter. This is not surprising. Putting aside prejudices, the Heat are indeed the better team. James made a perfect recovery in the third quarter and played the best game in the finals of his career. .

It's full of bitter tears to say it. If you analyze what James went through in the first seven finals of his career, James would probably burst into tears.

That's really tragic.

Of course, the past will eventually become history. Tonight, James is still worthy of the title of Little Emperor. He achieved a triple-double in three quarters, shot 56% from the field, made only 3 turnovers, and had a game-high plus-minus of +11. , such performance finally restored his reputation as a superstar.

And the Heat don't just have James. Wade, who has played bravely all season, was also outstanding tonight. Although his scoring was not as high as James, his efficiency was amazing. He made 7 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. Scored 20 points in three quarters.

Janeway scored a combined 44 points in three quarters. It's no wonder that various commentators praised the game. Tonight, Janeway finally found the tactic that best suited them.

Indeed, James controlling the ball and Wade playing without the ball is the most suitable tactic for James. Although this weakens Wade's ability to a certain extent, it makes the rest of the Heat come alive.

In addition to Janeway, Bosh had 12 points, Chalmers had 9 points, and Haslem had 7 points. They all performed well in the starting lineup, and the substitutes also made achievements. Old Miller also contributed to the Heat with 2 of 4 three-pointers. A lot of firepower, which is extremely rare to see in previous games.

So even Barkley said, "This is what people think the Big Three should play."

The Heat fans were even more excited. They were leading the score and suppressed the Lakers. The most important thing was that James was back to being intimate again. This was like celebrating the New Year.

Of course, laymen see the excitement, and experts see the door. The changes in the Heat's tactics are also seen by professionals, especially Zen Master. His expression is already very solemn, because he found that the current Heat and the previous Heat are very similar in play. , but the essence is different. James has become the absolute core, and Wade has stepped aside to make way for others. This has greatly improved the Heat's on-court ability.

The Lakers' unfailing tactics in the past didn't work tonight. This is the main reason why the Lakers fell behind in the third quarter.

It stands to reason that Kobe is the big boss tonight, with 27 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in the three quarters, showing a heroic performance, while inside, Gasol made 6 of 6 shots and 4 free throws. He still maintains a 100% shooting rate and contributed 7 rebounds. Although Bynum usually only scores 6 points, he got 9 rebounds in three quarters, including 3 offensive rebounds. The performance of the Twin Towers was already very good, but they still could not regain the advantage.

This is the role of tactics. Many people think that the NBA is all about the strength of the stars, but no matter how good the star is, he still needs tactics to ensure the team's operation. This is the role of the coach. After all, this is a team sport. Even someone as strong as Jordan cannot be defeated by one person. A team.

There is no doubt that the Heat have some of the top stars in the world, but they are too far behind the Lakers in terms of tactics, so they have almost no ability to parry. But now, they have made up for the shortcomings in tactics and finally have the ability to fight the Lakers.

"It seems that the tactics must be adjusted." The Zen master thought to himself.

But not now. Many people have also listened to the voice from the coaching bench during the broadcast, because it can be found that most of the time they are not talking about tactics. Some coaches even encourage or scold the players throughout the whole process. Except when it comes to specific offenses, coaches will To explain in detail, this is because it is impossible to change tactics during the game. A tactic requires countless efforts in the training hall from its formation to use. The tactics of a game are also formulated well before the game, and the players also You need to be familiar with it in advance, and if you change it halfway through the game, the result will basically be bad.

So Zen Master is not prepared to take risks. Although the Heat played well, the Lakers can still fight with it!

In the fourth quarter, Zen Master was also straightforward and the main players came out. The Heat opened the score by relying on the Lakers coming on the bench in the second and third quarters.

"The Heat are ruthless enough. The Big Three don't rest for even a minute." Ji Feng said on the sidelines. Of course, this is understandable. The main force of dead grass is also a kind of play. Besides, these people look real. The endurance, especially James, is still vigorous and vigorous even now. I just don't know if Wade and Bosh can stand it. These two people don't have James's physical fitness.

But it's understandable tonight. After all, if they lose again, they will go home directly. They will have a lot of time to rest, so the Heat really worked hard.

After the pure main force of both sides came on the court, there was no need to test, they just started to get into a posture. Here Kobe made a three-pointer, and over there James made a strong breakthrough to create 2+1. It was simply not giving in to each other.

In 3 minutes, Kobe Bryant scored 6 points and James scored 6 points. The two scored all the first three points of the fourth quarter for both teams. The point difference was still maintained at around 7 points. The most important thing is that people have been looking forward to Kobe Bryant for so many years. It finally happened against James at this moment!

Kobe and James demonstrated their absolute strength in this era, with high passes, sudden inside and outside shots, and crazy output. No one on the court could steal their limelight.

Stern was in a mixed mood in the office. Such a good match would have been great if it could have happened one or two years ago. Unfortunately, 23 is no longer at the top, and 24 is no longer at its peak.

But even so, the two still joined forces to give fans around the world an epic showdown. Especially in the middle of the fourth quarter, the two began to take the initiative to confront each other. Kobe switched to guard James, and James also took the initiative to defend Kobe. This made the confrontation The intensity has once again gone up a notch.

"Damn it, if this happened two years ago, James would never have had such an easy ball." Seeing James using a tank to break through and causing Kobe to hit him, Ji Feng said angrily. Kobe's physical strength is indeed inferior compared to James. Advantage, but it is undeniable that Kobe's physical level has begun to decline this season. Two years ago, Kobe could definitely handle this ball without fouling at all.

However, Kobe also has his own advantages. He uses his back and relies on his back to turn and fall back. This kind of shooting leaves James helpless.

93-98, Kobe helped the Lakers narrow the point difference to 5 points. With 2 minutes and 12 seconds left, the final battle came.

"Kobe, DIIT!" Ji Feng was watching with excitement from the sidelines. He wished he could go up and compete with James. However, he didn't even make the roster tonight and could only cheer for Kobe from the sidelines.

The fans in the audience naturally cheered for James. They saw the hope of winning. Although it was only one game, it was better than being swept.

The last two minutes of the two sides unfolded in this atmosphere.

The first one to show his strength was Kobe. He was not afraid of physical confrontation and forced his way out of James' body. James and Wade were chasing after him like the sky was blocking the sky. Kobe succeeded in a reverse layup, and James' arm directly hit Kobe. On his back, 2+1!

"Beautiful~!!! Referee, this ball was a flagrant foul!" Ji Feng roared, not forgetting to put pressure on the referee.

It is naturally impossible for the referee to call a bad foul. Although this action is indeed very big, it is not important. What is important is that after Kobe made the free throw, the point difference was only 2 points.

"38 points, Kobe was really strong tonight!" Director Zhang said.

However, what is unexpected is that the Lakers suddenly misfired after scoring this goal. On the contrary, the Heat blossomed more. James' two assists allowed Chalmers and Bosh to score 5 points in a row. Bosh even made a three-pointer. Ball, the point difference came back in an instant.

At the last moment, the miracle did not happen. Although Kobe used a three-pointer to bring his score to 41 points, the point difference was a bit big. The final score was fixed at 108-103. The Lakers lost the game with a 5-point disadvantage. The big score changed. Make it 3-1!
