Guard With a Knife

The Miami Heat are obviously in a bit of trouble.

Snoopy's super three-pointer made them mentally tense, and they had to put too much defensive attention on Dugger. Even when Dugger was running without the ball, James and Wade's footsteps followed him unnaturally.

And this... gave the bad old men of the Purple and Gold Army an opportunity.

When Artest Jr. hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner of the three-point line, when Carlos Boozer and Steve Nash played a classic pick-and-roll, they went down to the paint and completed a one-handed dunk. When Steve Nash kept riding and shooting arrows….

The purple and gold army that swept across the west and frightened the mighty powers in the west is back.

Pat Riley's eyes were indeed vicious, and he pointedly pointed out that these bad old men did not have the ability to provide help in times of need. However, icing on the cake has always been the specialty of seasoned professionals.

When the Duke took away a large number of defenses and Steve Nash was able to thread the needle again, these old guys immediately fired like shotguns.

Although they can't defend against the offensive of the Big Three, their offensive efficiency is even slightly higher than that of the Heat.

This allows the Purple and Gold Army to always maintain a two-three-point lead.

When there were 2 minutes left in the game, the Heat suddenly realized that Snoopy had not been able to attack on his own since he threw that three-pointer. Maybe he did not have the ability to shoot at all. He was trying to hide his plan. So, one by one, the defensive attention was diverted.

Miami was indeed fooled before. There was some luck in Dugger's three-pointer, but it does not mean that his firepower was really turned on.

However, after three or four minutes of high-speed running, his body did heat up.

When Nash was locked up by Dwyane Wade.

He quickly ran out to catch the basketball, and then, after taking two quick steps around the three-point line, he didn't even look for a cover and shot directly over James' head... when the basketball instantly penetrated the basket like a accurately cruising missile.

Uh-huh!

James was stunned.

Is this the fire control radar turned on or not?

He can't figure it out.

Soon, Dugger used his second three-pointer to tell him: It's on!

Then, Miami fans consciously began to leave.

There's no way to play anymore.

As long as Duke Dog's shot is fired, who the hell can stop it? Even the twelve-star shining dream team couldn't stop his madness. Can Miami stop him?

To be honest, this made Dougal feel a little depressed. What he wanted to say in his heart was: It's really not that scary. I just feel it is a little smoother, it doesn’t mean it’s always on target. You’ve all watched it for so long, and you’ve finally seen the finale! Give your team some face.

The departure of fans hastened Miami's failure in a sense.

Although James worked hard to score the next two offenses and assisted Wade to hit a three-pointer.

But it couldn't stop Snoop from making 2 of 3 shots from beyond the three-point line, and Whiteside grabbed the missed three-pointer and added 2 points.

Miami just lost.

The process is still very exciting, and the ending is still no suspense.

Although they once pushed the Purple and Gold Army into desperation in the first three quarters, they even made Kobe Bryant try his best until he cramped up. But in the end, as Snoopy threw a three-pointer, a group of old fritters added insult to injury: Miami's Big Three just lost.

Looking back, can you say LeBron James didn't play well? 32 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. He is still outrageous in all aspects, and his efficiency can still compete with any ancient sages.

However, if you lose, you lose.

Despite what Pat Riley tried to explain in the locker room after the game: At least in this game we have figured out the Lakers' limits. Kobe Bryant will definitely play less minutes in the next game. As long as we lead more in the first three quarters and restrain Snoopy, winning will be easy. We still have a 45 percent chance of reversing this series.

However, the frustration of the Big Three is still palpable.

LeBron James even sat in the locker and was silent for almost fifteen minutes. He didn't raise his head for a long time.

Images from the past flashed through my mind like a movie slideshow.

He thought about the time when he was popular across the country in high school, when he signed his name on a record-breaking endorsement contract, when he came to Cleveland as the No. 1 pick, and when he led the team to the finals. Second limelight.

At that time, I was absolutely the pride of heaven.

But why did everything change when Snoopy entered the league.

Why should I join Miami?

LeBron James deeply doubted the decision he made in the summer of 2010. He originally thought he could get everything he wanted in Miami. At that time, he even thought that the Big Three could monopolize all championships together. After all, the Boston Celtics were exhausted at that time, and the Purple and Gold Army was no longer sustainable. The remaining Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder are young and inexperienced.

Everything is under control.

Therefore, he betrayed his hometown in public, taking great risks and accusations.

However, who could have imagined that Snoopy would rise so quickly? He sniped against the Heat twice in the Eastern Conference. This season, he finally watched him commit suicide and go to the Western Conference to join the Lakers. His performance in the regular season was not satisfactory, and all championship targets tended to be in Miami. Unexpectedly, they broke out without warning in the playoffs. They swept the Nuggets and got a quadruple-double, swept the Thunder, swept the Spurs, and now, it seems that the Heat will be swept soon.

"Our problem is inside. We don't have a good five."

Dwyane Wade suddenly started a criticism meeting: "Whiteside, Milicic and even Jordan Hill can have an advantage defensively. We need a top blue-collar center. If we don't solve this problem, we will never kill the Lakers." !”

From what the Flash said, he seems to be targeting offseason signings.

But...can Miami's cap space afford the current prices? A top blue-collar center will cost at least 15 million.

Pat Riley felt really distressed when he thought of this: Why are the Lakers so strong and their salary space so healthy? Where did they get the information from, and why were they able to sign so many high-quality and low-priced top blue-collar centers.

At the same time, Snoop stood in front of reporters and said very sincerely: "Miami is very strong. You have to do your best to play against them, and you need some extra luck. Fortunately, our luck in these two games is still there. good."

Reporters automatically interpreted this statement as unfashionable modesty.

But, that's certainly true for Dugger.

If he hadn't allowed himself to move quickly and catch the touch in the last quarter of these two games, the Miami Heat might have led 2:0.

Although the final scores of these two games are relatively disparate, the difference between the two is a thousand miles away if the masters compete with each other.

Therefore, Dougal always kept a clear head.

Compared to the Duke's caution.

Young Artest and others were very optimistic. Although they did not make much effort in the finals, they shouted louder than anyone else: "Facts have proved...the Big Three's idea of ​​building a team is wrong. Why should we form this kind of super team?" What? Is it bad to be like our Lakers? A superstar, an old superstar who is about to retire, plus a group of experienced veterans, and a group of motivated young people, such a team can be healthy, balanced and harmonious. "

"There's actually nothing much to say about the game. We won as always, it's that simple!"

Little Artest became more and more angry.

And even more angry than him are the Lakers fans. Lakers fans have been yelling at the sky and the ground recently. When they meet fans of any other team, they always say: Lakers championship!

It made Kupchak feel that these guys were a little too proud.

"We can't go on like this. We have to save some character and not show off everywhere. You see, the points won in the second game were much less than the first game. We have to keep a low profile!" Kupchak told the little boy more than once Bass said.

Therefore, Buss Jr. stressed very restrainedly on TV: "I hope we Lakers fans will stay quiet. If you continue to celebrate like this, we will not be able to sweep the championship! Keep the joy in your heart, okay?"

Forehead….

Bass Jr. emphasizes it so much, it's better not to emphasize it at all.

This is so much louder than shouting 'Lakers Championship'.

However, the conscience of heaven and earth, Bass really wants the fans to keep a low profile from the bottom of his heart.

However, there are no eggs!

…

As a Lakers shareholder, Ms. Daphne is very satisfied with the two games the Purple and Gold Army won in Miami.

Coupled with the troublemaking fans and Buss Jr., the market value of the Lakers club has skyrocketed due to the jealousy of other teams. Now the investment from her and the Duke Girl Foundation has almost doubled, which is equivalent to saying that Snoopy joins the Lakers. Since then, their market value has nearly doubled. And it is still expanding rapidly. I believe that after the end of the season and various financial reports are released, all shareholders will experience a wave of skyrocketing assets!

so.

When Ms. Daphne hurried back to Los Angeles from Orlando, she decided to celebrate with her biggest hero, Duggar.

In fact, before she did this, the members of the Duke's Foundation had already held a unity and friendship congress with the Duke.

The meeting was very successful and the strong demands of all members were fully met.

The Duke also received great satisfaction and recharge from the members.

This gives him more confidence to contribute to the club.

And when he sat across from Ms. Daphne in the Sky Restaurant, he obviously lost his domineering attitude during the meeting. He seemed very reserved.

"Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to a place like this for dinner?"

Dougal is a little unaccustomed to being in such a romantic setting with Lady Daphne.

"We haven't officially dated yet." Miss Daphne reminded with a smile, and then she looked at the dim lights of downtown Los Angeles. This sky restaurant has a very wide view.

However, from this angle, Daphne is really beautiful.

Doug couldn't help but stretched out his hand and grabbed Daphne's left hand. He said: "The night is so beautiful today."

Daphne was slightly surprised, and then the smile on her lips flowed out uncontrollably.

It was a fun, sweet, ambiguous dinner.

Both parties were careful to show their emotions.

When they finished dinner and walked out of the restaurant. The reporters in Los Angeles who had heard the news had been waiting for a long time. They had not followed the Duke's emotional movements for a long time.

"After this season ends, my personal relationship issues will also come to a successful conclusion."

Doug said to the flashing spotlight.

Then he took Daphne's hand without hesitation and walked into the car. They would return to the Duke's castle.

I hope that this time, there won’t be any rash professors knocking on the door to disturb me.
