basketball legend manager

James closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated. After exhaling a breath, he opened his eyes again with firm eyes.

He faced the boos of the audience, steadily passed the ball... missed the free throw, and scored 20.

After taking the free throw, James shook his head in annoyance. He had only played half a quarter and he had already missed two free throws.

The game continued with Curry dribbling the ball across half court.

Since Tracy McGrady had already played several rounds in a row, this time the cute god decided to attack on his own.

He waved to the inside line, and Griffin rushed over to set up a cover for him.

At the moment when he bypassed the pick-and-roll, Curry's center of gravity sank slightly and he looked toward the basket. The two Heat players, Chalmers and Bosh, were deceived at the same time and pounced on him.

Unexpectedly, Curry flicked his wrist and made a beautiful ground pass, passing the ball to Griffin.

The next moment, the white monster comes out of the cage!

"bang!"

A powerful and heavy one-handed chop set the court on fire again.

A minute later, the Rockets came back.

This time, George used a series of dazzling dribbles from beyond the three-point line to successfully dodge James' defense.

Then he broke into the basket and successfully challenged Bosh's frame protection with a folding layup.

As soon as the goal was scored, both CCTV commentators sighed:

"The Rockets' offense is completely alive! All five players are in full bloom, and the Heat's proud defense seems to have no effect on them."

Yu Jia sighed.

"I think Curry's presence has improved the Rockets much more than everyone expected! His creativity and containment are difficult for Lowry to achieve."

"Before, many Rockets fans felt that it was not worthwhile to trade Lawson and Martin for Curry. But now, I believe no one will question Shen Fei's original decision."

"Our Boss Shen's vision is truly unique and extremely vicious..."

Yang Yi also sighed with emotion.

His eyes returned to the playing field.

After Yao Ming left the game, the Heat began to try more to attack the Rockets' basket.

However, Oden, who came on as a substitute, showed his strong ability to protect the frame.

Whether it is James or Wade, after rushing into the Rockets penalty area, they must take into account the presence of the emperor.

Not to mention the other Heat players.

If the inside line cannot be opened, it will be difficult for the Heat's shooters to get easy shots.

With four minutes left in the first quarter, Spoelstra replaced Big Z and Wade and replaced them with two shooters-James Jones and Mike Miller.

At this moment, the Heat's lineup has become: Chalmers, Mike Miller, Jones, James, Bosh.

This is a small lineup, with LeBron playing the fourth position and Bosh playing center.

At the same time, the Rockets also made adjustments to their lineup.

Mark Jackson made a bold move and replaced all the main players.

The Rockets' on-court lineup becomes: Lowry, Roy, Danny Green, PJ Tucker, Oden.

It is worth mentioning that Tucker was entrusted with the important task of defending James.

In the stands, Shen Fei was quite curious about how well the Shoe King could defend himself.

After all, in the original time and space, whether Tucker was with the Raptors or Rockets, he had played against James' team in the playoffs.

In both series, he, who has always been good at pressing defense, had nothing to do against James.

But the current situation is different from the original time and space.

Tucker no longer served as the main defender, but came on the court to confront James after he had played most of the quarter.

In other words, the shoe king now has a considerable physical advantage.

[George, Tucker, Danny Green, Tony Allen, and even McGrady can all be guarded.]

[If that doesn’t work, just use wheel fighting and learn the Warriors’ “Four Famous Catchers”.]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

Although the game had only lasted less than one quarter, he already had a basic idea in his mind.

The Heat now do not have the strength to challenge the Rockets.

Although they are the Big Three on the surface, Bosh does not play at the level of a star. Instead, he is more like an ordinary space-oriented fourth position.

Without his performance, James and Wade alone would not be able to cause a devastating blow to the Rockets with Yao Ming and Oden.

............

The game continues.

The Rockets continued their previous defensive strategy against James - relying solely on one-on-one defense, never double-teaming, and not giving him a chance to drive his teammates.

This trick works well.

In the next few minutes, Tucker really had nothing to do with James.

But even if LeBron gets past the shoe king's defense and breaks into the penalty area, he still has to face Oden's back-up defense.

This is undoubtedly a big challenge for James, who has not yet achieved great shooting.

Although he was fierce and singled out for six consecutive rounds, he successfully reached the inside line all the time.

But facing Oden's defense, James attacked the frame six times and only hit three goals. His shooting percentage was far lower than his average (his season shooting percentage at the basket was nearly 70%).

What's worse is that continuous attacks to the basket also consume a lot of James.

Although he is at his physical peak, James's weight this season is also the highest in history (in order to make up for the lack of inside, he chose to gain weight).

James was "cutting" one by one over there, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Looking back, the Rockets' two outside shooters, Curry and Roy, were playing easily and contentedly.

Facing Chalmers' defense, Curry first dribbled the ball behind his back and hit a super long three-pointer.

Then, he dribbled the ball like a butterfly through flowers, easily completed the breakthrough, and succeeded again in the mid-range with an emergency stop.

When facing Mike Miller, Roy gave him everything he wanted.

He hit consecutive singles with the ball, making this veteran shooter lose face.

The score difference between the two teams also gradually widened.

After the first quarter of the game, the Rockets scored a crazy 41 points, while the Heat only scored 28 points.

And this 13-point gap was created when James played the entire first quarter!

During the break, Toyota Center has turned into a sea of ​​joy.

At this time, the Heat's bench was deathly silent.

James wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and kept shaking his head.

He expected that today's game would be very difficult, but he never expected that the Heat would be completely helpless.

"Tracy, Yao, and even Brandon's performances were all within expectations. But that guy No. 30 is so unexpectedly sharp!"

Bosh sighed and said.

Curry also played 12 minutes in the first quarter, hitting four three-pointers, scoring 15 points and 4 assists, and was the best player in the game.

His performance not only shocked the audience, but also caught the Heat players off guard.

"The current Rockets are actually a Big 3 (Big Three), but the third Big Three is not Griffin or Roy, but Curry."

Wade said seriously.

The other players nodded after hearing this.

Obviously, Curry has "conquered" the Heat generals with his performance.

"I will strengthen my personal offense in the second quarter and give it another try."

"No matter what, we can't be defeated so easily."

Wade continued.

At the beginning of the second quarter, James will rest off the court for some time.

During this period, the Rockets' offensive will not stop. Wade knows that he must stand up!

"It's only 13 points. If you play well, you can get back within a few minutes."

"Cheer up and don't act like you're in a hurry."

Wade clapped his hands vigorously, trying to boost the morale of his teammates.

"Work harder and fight back!"

A powerful voice spoke, Udonis Haslem, the leader of the Heat's locker room.

Like Wade, he was drafted by the Heat in 2003 and has been playing until now.

Both of them have absolute say in the team. When other players heard their encouragement, they gradually came out of their disappointment.

Sibo saw this and silently stretched out his right hand.

The Heat generals responded one after another and folded their hands together.

"one.two.three..."

"Let's go heat!"

............

The timeout ends and the game continues.

Both sides made fine adjustments to their lineups, with the Heat replacing Wade and the Rockets replacing Curry with Lowry.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat served first.

Arroyo carried the ball through half court and immediately handed the ball to Wade.

After the Flash got the ball, Haslem quickly stepped up and set a screen for him.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Wade accelerated past Roy and rushed to the basket.

Tucker, who was assisting in defense, followed closely and worked hard to defend.

But Wade's speed was so fast that the shoe king was eventually thrown away and could only watch as the former completed the layup.

41:30, the Heat are off to a good start!

During the transition between offense and defense, Roy's pull-up jump shot was blocked by Wade's interference, and Haslem jumped up to collect the rebound.

He immediately handed the ball to Arroyo, allowing the latter to launch a counterattack.

This Puerto Rican defender plays with great arrogance.

In the Olympic Games that year, he scored 24 points in the game against the "Dream Six", helping Puerto Rico upset the beautiful country.

There is no doubt about Arroyo's aura on offense, but in today's game, he seemed to be overshadowed by Curry.

But now, his opponent is Lowry.

This gave Arroyo the urge to prove himself.

During the fast break, he made an in&out feint with his left hand and successfully swayed Lowry away.

After rushing to the free throw line, Arroyo faced Wade on the right, but his wrist flicked to the left...

A no-look-pass passed the ball directly to the left corner.

There, James Jones, the "King's Sword Guard", waited for a long time.

He raised the knife and hit a hollow three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 8 points!

After Jones scored, Arroyo and Wade shook hands in unison.

Obviously, this three-pointer was very important to the Heat, giving them a chance to get back into the game!

Later, Arroyo smiled at Lori and shook her head.

Lowry instantly turned black and turned to ask for the ball from his teammates on the baseline.

The next moment, while the corners of the mouths of the Heat generals were still rising, the little steel cannon was already advancing rapidly with the ball.

Arroyo came to her senses and retreated quickly.

Unexpectedly, Lowry stopped shortly after passing half court.

He stood about three meters away from the three-point line and directly chose to take a shot...

The basketball rotates at high speed, drawing a rainbow-like arc in the air...

"Shua~"

Hollow into the net!

After the goal, Lowry shouted to the front: "Do you think I'm a little boy? Motherfxxker!!"
