Chapter 1990 The Fierce Battle Is in Full Swing, and Lao Zhan Wants to Set the Pace! ?

Test?

In fact, it was still needed. Unexpectedly, after Ji Feng dunked the ball, the Zen master stood up for the first time in a long time.

This season, due to an old knee problem, the old Zen Master spent most of the game sitting down. He would only stand up when he was very excited. He stood up at the beginning, partly because Ji Feng's dunk was really exciting and he was so energetic. Age, on the other hand is also scary!

"Brother, don't be so excited. The discussions outside of the opening ceremony are different!" The Zen Master wiped his cold sweat.

The Lakers' previous strategy in the first game was to test and establish positions, starting from the inside. Firstly, it allows the inside players to find their status. Secondly, it is also to test the Heat's tactics. It is best to expose the Heat's inside line. Enough to get trump cards.

This can be regarded as an old tradition of the finals. In the first game, there is always a test of each other. Even if the gap in strength is obviously too big, there are still some attempts. For example, in the finals, which is recognized as the most hip-drawing in the new century, the Basketball Team When playing against the Lakers, I also thought of no less than 20 ways to target O'Neal, but I didn't succeed.

Therefore, this opening was a heavy blow. While he was excited, Zen Master was also afraid that Ji Feng would have fun and just do it hard. Zen Master was very aware of the anger in Ji Feng's heart. Even though Ji Feng always looked gentle and elegant, once it exploded It was very scary to get up. He knew very well the relationship between Ji Feng and James this year, so he was particularly afraid of Ji Feng getting up.

But don’t worry, if Ji Feng goes up, James will go up too!

The Heat actually have the same arrangement. Although they have studied a lot of the Lakers' tactics, the finals are different. Which team doesn't have a few big tricks waiting to be used in the finals. As a weak side, the Heat must win if they want to win. Tactically, find a way. Spoelstra doesn't even need to win the first game. It doesn't matter if he loses. As long as he can study the Lakers' tactics and preferably force the Lakers' big move, then the Heat will not lose.

Naturally, when the Lakers made a move, they couldn't amplify it at the beginning. Spoelstra also developed a set of tactics, first focusing on defense, stabilizing the position, and then letting Wade and James use singles to open up the situation.

This is the Heat's old tactic from last season. It can be said that the Heat's style of play this season is completely different from last season.

After a summer, the Heat have long completed their transformation. This season, the Heat have switched offense and defense, using defense to press opponents, trying their best to steal, using fast breaks to rush up and play, and minimizing position time. Against Dallas in the regular season, the Big Three almost Convert all 10 of their steals into fast breaks and alley-oop dunks. In the last game of the playoffs against the Celtics, the Heat's sharp steals were on full display. They had 16 steals in the game, and all of them were converted into fast break points. The Celtics only had a net score in fast break. Losing 15 points to the Heat is normal.

This is the change that Spoelstra has been thinking about all summer. The defense itself is not a big problem, the key is offensive efficiency. The efficiency of the Big Three in positional offense is not high, but if they can run and rely on rebounds and steals to convert fast breaks, it is not only efficient scoring, but also what the Big Three are most willing to do.

The Heat's lineup this season, except for the inside height problem that cannot be solved, is better than last season. There are many excellent three-point shooters on the bench, as well as defensive experts like Battier, and some who scored 20 points. A great rookie like Cole.

James and Wade were assigned to play more low-post games instead of shooting three-pointers from the outside, which is the root of the Heat's transformation.

But now, Spoelstra wants to deliberately hide his hand.

Seeing Ji Feng's aggressive pick-and-roll dunk, Spoelstra was very happy. He was about to say hello when he saw that James wanted the ball before halftime and a pick-and-roll after halftime. Ji Feng bypassed him and immediately took the third ball. Two, and then took a step forward, attacked hard despite being interfered by Ji Feng, and succeeded in a slow three-point layup.

The whole process was tiring. It looked like James had used his greatest strength. He was gasping for breath after going to the basket. Although he still didn't forget to complain to the referee about a wave of Ji Feng's fouls, it didn't look like he was the first player in the game. The feeling of a ball.

Spoelstra: ...

No, don’t get involved yourself!

Spoelstra is very flexible, but he doesn't play according to the rules!

James responded very forcefully. Although he remembered the coach's request, he couldn't control his heart at first, so forget it, let's have a good time first!

The Lakers calmed down over there and began to push the position slowly. Ji Feng passed to Bynum, but Bynum didn't have a chance to hit the back. Haslem obviously got the true pass, and he just tried his best to pass Bynum. Bynum pushed outwards and pushed hard, just to let Bynum attack from a farther distance.

Bynum was not in a hurry, passed back to the outside, and then asked for position again. At this time, the Heat chose to double-team. Ji Feng did not wait any longer and directly asked Bynum to come up for the pick-and-roll. Then he passed James in one step and scored inside. Gasol completed a layup over Bosh's head. If the referee hadn't been soft, he almost would have made a three-pointer.

Here, Lao Zhan is still excited and continues to play pick-and-rolls. He really wants to play Ji Feng in isolation, but he doesn't dare to gamble randomly, so he still uses his best breakthrough. This time he also assists Bosh and retaliates against Gasol. ball.

"Hey, each has a goal and an assist. At the beginning, Ji Feng and James were in a head-to-head confrontation, refusing to give in to each other!" Yu Jia said.

"This ball looks good. I didn't try it at the beginning, but just forced it. You see, these two times were not absolute chances, but they were successful. This is based on personal ability. These two people are too strong. "Instructor Zhang looked at it intently.

The fierce start lasted until the first official timeout. Ji Feng and James attacked each other at the beginning, and the court seemed to become 1V1. Ji Feng was slightly stronger, scoring 9 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound, helping The Lakers lead 17-15 by 2 points.

James had 7 points and 2 assists, but his shooting percentage was a little lower than Ji Feng, and he missed one more shot, but his performance was also heroic.

These two people also supported the opening scene, making those fans who were not excited enough get excited one by one.

However, after the timeout, the scene suddenly stabilized. The two sides began to slow down, and positional warfare became popular. Although the internal confrontation was very fierce, and Bynum even had some quarrels with Haslem, it still couldn't compare with the excitement of the first half. of.

28-29 in the first quarter, the Lakers led by 1 point.

In the second quarter, Ji Feng was forced to leave the game due to a bluff, but next door, James still appeared. It seemed that the Heat wanted to use him to open up the second quarter.

James was also interesting enough. He gave Farmar a hot pot when he broke through. Then, while Ji Feng was not on the court, he held the ball and succeeded in a dunk.

After Kobe's singles success with the Lakers, James once again stood up and beat Artest with a back-up. He relied on his weight advantage to turn around and shoot a jumper to score two more points. On the defensive end, he stole Kobe's pass and drew a foul on Kobe!

For a time, the Heat's rhythm picked up, and in turn led the Lakers by 2 points!
