Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"WTF! What is James doing!"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Kenny Smith issued a soul-searching question during halftime.

After 0 points in a single quarter, he scored 3 points in a single quarter. Covering his name, he thought it was James White. How the hell could this be LeBron James!?

"To be honest, the Knicks played very well tonight, with sharp offense and solid defense. It's obvious that they have regained their previous abilities after returning to their home court."

Kenny Smith said.

Tonight, the Knicks obviously have a precise understanding of James' style of play. According to the fact that James has strong breakthrough and passing abilities, but no shooting ability or low post singles, the Knicks basically use man-to-man tactics.

Added regional defense.

Battier defends alone, swinging to Danny Green in the second position when he breaks through, and the left winger is the last barrier for James to break through. This is much worse than the Mavericks Barea, Marion and Chandler back then, and

Such a defensive arrangement can not only limit James' breakthrough, but also prevent him from passing the ball easily to drive his teammates' offense. At the same time, it seems to be digging a trap and waiting for the opponent to jump into it, tempting James to take jump shots that he is not very good at.

.

To be honest, this defensive tactic fully reflects the value of the Knicks' introduction of two outstanding assistant coaches during the offseason.

But Kenny Smith quickly changed the subject: "But! This doesn't seem to be the reason why James performed so poorly. He suddenly seemed to be unable to play. He clearly had a lot of opportunities in the first half, but he didn't pass it to his teammates.

, or he was hesitant, or even made a few low-level mistakes, such as walking."

"Obviously, something is wrong with LeBron."

Kenny Smith hit the nail on the head, and James in the first half really refreshed people's perception of him.

Countless fans were very disappointed and began to criticize James. Now Hupu has exploded. If you just open any post, you will find someone scolding James.

Of course, that’s not all. James still has die-hard fans who support him, such as Rihanna. Although she did not appear in New York tonight, she still posted an INS during the intermission to express her support for James:

"Shut up! The king is coming back in the second half!"

This INS also attracted enough fans to wave the flag and cheer. After all, although Lao Zhan did stretch his hips in the first half, there is still half of the game. For superstars, sometimes the half can change everything.

The NBA has never lacked examples of people stretching their hips to the extreme in the first half, but suddenly breaking out in the second half to save the team.

For example, on November 9, 2006, in the game between the Rockets and the Bucks, Dayao, who was troubled by a foul at the end of the first half, only had 6 points, while Bogut scored 7 points, but in the subsequent

Within 24 minutes, Dayao launched a stormy attack. Within 6 minutes of the start of the third quarter, Dayao scored 12 points in one breath. Bogut, who was guarding him, could only watch Dayao's statistics one by one.

The increase in points. In the end, Dayao scored 23 points, while Bogut still had 7 points...

The example of Dayao should be the most familiar to Chinese fans, but it is not the only one. I will not cite other examples because there are too many.

So the fans still have hope. After all, shouldn't comebacks after halftime be the norm?

The Knicks don't dare to be careless. Although they are already leading by 24 points 64-40 at halftime and have one foot in the finals, after all, a non-famous coach once said: "20 points is nothing!"

In addition, Lao Zhan looked too much like a show in the first half and beat even Bosh (Bosh: Meow Meow Meow???), so the German coach even thought that he was holding back some big moves waiting to beat the Knicks in the second half.

A surprise.

Therefore, during the halftime break, the German coach specifically emphasized the need to continue to strengthen the defense against James in the second half, and also warned everyone that although they had a big enough lead, they must not waste it.

The Knicks players nodded repeatedly. To be honest, even if the German coach didn't say it, they thought so.

Curry, who returned from injury in this game, even went to Zuo Li and whispered: "Boss, are they playing tricks on us? Do they want to use such a big point difference to make us relax our vigilance and then make a big comeback in the second half!?"

Zuo Li couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Stephen, I remember when I was in the writing class, you were either sleeping or reading comics or watching games. Now it seems that you are not talented enough to play basketball. You should write novels."

."

"Isn't it?" Curry rubbed his head. Are the Heat's three giants so good?

"Stephen, believe me, just relax and play in the second half, and they can come back and make me lose." Zuo Li didn't say anything explicitly, but patted Curry on the shoulder and asked him to continue carrying.

Curry came back and scored 15 points and 4 assists in the first half. He performed well. If he plays another quarter, he should be able to score 20.

What?

Why is there only one section?

Needless to say!

The Heat's rhythm has obviously broken down. Any comeback in the second half or any major reversal will all be mirrored when the mentality is broken. Not to say it is completely impossible, but the probability is approximately equal to...

Mars hits the Earth!

Zuo Li's guess was accurate. In the Heat locker room next door, no matter how hard Spoelstra poured chicken soup, it was useless. He was trailing 1-3 and trailing by 20 at halftime... This situation was called hell mode. The Heat players were already at the end of their rope.

, and now he is even more defeated.

Especially for James, when a person doesn't believe that he can accomplish something, no encouragement or method from the outside can save him, and self-rescue is the way to go.

But obviously, Lao Zhan is not yet able to save himself. He is beginning to doubt himself, the team, and whether he should come here in the summer.

In this regard, he is not as good as Bosh. Bosh, who scored 10 points and 4 rebounds in the first half, is the only normal player in the Heat besides Wade. His mentality is also the best except for Wade. It is a pity that the Heat gave Bosh

There are really too few tactics arranged.

How can such a mentality make a comeback in hell mode?

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks stayed on the outside and hit three three-pointers in a row, widening the point difference to 30 points in one fell swoop.

When Wade desperately hit consecutive three-pointers from the three-point line, but was still unable to widen the gap with the Knicks, Heat fans knew that this game was about to end.

Oh no!

Not just this game, but the Heat's 2010-2011 season comes to an end tonight.

When James hesitantly passed the ball to Wade again and received an assist, the outside world no longer had any hope for him.

With 5 points in a single quarter, James contributed the highest scoring quarter of the game. However, the point difference changed from 24 points at halftime to 37 points...

"It's over, it's all over! Cheer! Maybe we can open the champagne in advance!" When the DJ at Madison Square Garden celebrated wildly during the break, and the Heat fans couldn't find any angle to refute, everyone knew,

The tide is over...

124-88, the Knicks defeated the Heat in Game 5, eliminating their opponents with a total score of 4-1 to advance.

In the fourth quarter, James, who was sitting on the bench in a daze, only had 8 points, 4 assists, 7 rebounds and 7 turnovers.
