Chapter 1978 Frustration Education

The comeback attempt failed.

Milestones turn into milestones.

After the game, although James won the honor of being the youngest person to score 3,000 points in the playoffs, it was very embarrassing and not many people cared. On the contrary, James once again became the target of public criticism.

Just look at the headlines in the Boston media.

"Coward! A reversal at the last moment!" The Boston Sports News could be said to be merciless, mocking James to the point of being completely naked.

From the data point of view, James had 29 points and 6 rebounds, Wade had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Chalmers had 12 points, and Haslem had 12 points and 17 rebounds.

For the Celtics, Pierce had 23 points, Garnett had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Ray Allen had 16 points, Rondo had 15 points and 15 assists, Buss had 11 points, and Dulin had 10 points.

James' statistics are still not bad, with the highest score in the game and a shooting percentage of just shy of 50%. He is one point away from continuing his streak of 30+ games in the playoffs. However, he is still criticized. The key is that except for the first quarter He scored 18 points, but after three quarters and five minutes of overtime, he only scored 11 points.

Forget it, in the most critical last 40 seconds of the fourth quarter, the entire game process can almost be said to be in the hands of LeBron James. With 5 fouls, he can definitely use these last 40 seconds to play his own game An epic battle, but at the last moment, James once again chose to pass the ball and trusted his teammates. This once again left a big question in people's minds. After all, this has almost become a hallmark of LeBron James' career. Shortcomings.

There is no doubt that in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals when the Heat lost 91-93 to the Celtics on the road, James' last-minute choices became a laughing stock again, and he himself suffered an offensive foul in overtime. And leaving the game with 6 fouls - this was also the first time he left the game with 6 fouls after putting on a Heat jersey, and the first time since 2008.

Let's go back to the last 40 seconds and see what happened at that time. Garnett's easy score under the basket once gave the Celtics a 3-point lead, but after returning to the offensive end, the Heat just conducted a simple With the cooperation, Wade controlled the ball to attract the defense, and when James went around to the right at a 45-degree angle, he was in an absolutely open position. Rondo could only watch James take off from a distance - in the end, James succeeded, with this shot. With the ball, James also helped the Heat tie the score to 89-89. Obviously, both sides of the game still have the opportunity to change the score.

This time, James once again played a key role on the defensive end. His forward defense seemed to annoy Garnett. Garnett actually knocked down James on his right side. The referee once again awarded Garnett a foul. At this time, there are 21.1 seconds left before the end of the game!

Everyone's eyes were focused on James, thinking that he would decisively choose to attack as he did 37 seconds before the end - but everyone was wrong. After James attracted the opponent's double-team defense, he did it before the end. At the last moment, he chose to pass the ball to his teammate, but Haslem failed to make this key shot, so the two sides entered overtime.

This offense is really, so classic and so right. This is the epitome of James in the final moments of this period.

On March 3, when the Heat lost 98-99 to the Jazz in an away game, James originally had a chance to end the game by himself, but he ultimately chose Haslem who was open, and Haslem also failed to hit at the time.

After the game entered overtime, James once again failed to perform, but spent most of the time on the bench watching his teammates swallow the bitter pill of defeat.

Exactly the same!

Of course, many people may say, why can't this ball be passed? Couldn't we play more rationally at the last moment? Why can't we pass the ball when being double-teamed? He shot in an open position. Shouldn't he be blamed for not scoring?

First of all, before answering this question, we need to clarify why there are such things as empty seats at the last moment.

That's because the defender let him go to flank others. Why let him go to defend others? Naturally, it's because he's not a big threat. Letting him go will have the smallest impact on the overall situation. To put it simply, let him go. The seat became vacant at the last moment because: Look! No! rise! you!

Now everyone understands it.

Haslem, as a man who averaged 9 points per game in the playoffs, as a center with a score of 203, and as a defensive-oriented person, he has almost zero threat from mid-to-long range. In that position, he cannot even make an open shot. How many can you count on him to kill? ? ?

Outrageous!

Extremely outrageous!

Do you really not understand why you let him go during a double attack? !

So at the last moment, it was a very funny thing to pass the ball to an unknown number in the team and let him execute the final kill.

So it is natural to be ridiculed.

Some good people even edited the classic scenes of the last moments of Ji Feng's career with the scenes of James, which was widely circulated on the Internet.

James may have been scolded as DER. He defended himself after the game, saying, "Udonis was open at the time and could complete a jump shot at the free throw line after receiving the ball. This was my reaction to reading the game."

However, the fans did not buy it, which led James to announce directly after the game that he would not log on to social networks until the end of the playoffs.

This is not the worst thing. James, who was ridiculed for his small mentality, had to face the next difficult schedule. After losing two games in a row, the big score had become 2-2. The two sides returned to the same starting line, and Tianwang Mountain was close to In front of you.

What's even more uncomfortable is that Game 5 will still be played at the North Shore Garden, and the Heat, who have the home advantage, are facing an embarrassing away situation.

If Tianwangshan loses again...

Well, maybe this is something that many Heat fans don't want to face, but maybe it's a good thing for the Heat and James. After all, the only thing that can make people grow is setbacks.

This can be regarded as frustration education...

…

Just when the Eastern Conference Finals became tense and anxious, the situation next door was calm. The Lakers held on to a 3-1 lead, leaving the Thunder with only a theoretical possibility of a comeback.

However, the Thunder will naturally not give up hope. They have issued a call to protect their home court, and Hun naturally does not want to delay it any longer. Although they have two more home games in the future, delaying one game will be more dangerous, so the Lakers will not Let the Thunder win easily.

However, in the game on the 7th, the Lakers, who were accurate for four games, encountered problems. They played well in the first half, but the situation suddenly changed in the second half, and the Lakers suddenly lost their sights from top to bottom...

The Lakers only scored 18 points in this quarter, which was the lowest score in a single quarter in this year's playoffs. Although the Thunder only scored 25 points, combined with their lead in the first half, they led the Lakers by 14 points in three quarters.

In the last quarter, the Lakers still failed to find the right goal, and finally lost 98-109, and the score was tied to 3-2!
