Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Because of the foul problem, Li Liang had to leave the game early to rest in the first half.

Spoelstra's tactics have undoubtedly achieved results. Once Li Liang is off the court, the Lakers' defensive vitality will undoubtedly drop.

The guy who can wipe his ass the most is gone, and the Lakers' tactical layout and personnel rotation have been disrupted.

Mike Brown could only replace Gasol in advance, and the Lakers' lineup suddenly changed from nimble and agile to a little cumbersome.

During the timeout, Mike Brown asked the players to play at a slightly slower pace, stop competing with the Heat for speed, and increase the success rate of positional battles.

"Hit the ball to the inside, give the ball to Dwight and Pao! Take advantage of our inside advantage and compete for offensive rebounds!"

Mike Brown asked the inside to grab more offensive rebounds. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat were almost exploded by West and Hibbert.

Li Liang didn't quite agree with Brown's arrangement.

"Mike, I think it's risky to grab offensive rebounds now. In the first quarter, we should play more safely."

Li Liang is equivalent to half an assistant coach when he is resting off the court. He often discusses tactics with Brown, and sometimes even leads the tactics.

Brown pushed his glasses and said, "Try it, let's try it!"

The scene at the American Airlines Center was very noisy, and the two had to yell loudly.

Mike Brown is the head coach. If he arranges a strategy during the timeout, and then is rejected by the players, it will be embarrassing.

But when Li Liang said this, Brown still had no idea.

For things like offensive rebounds, grabbing them is sometimes more effective than a successful tactic, and it hurts the morale of the opponent.

If you can't grab it, you may not be able to retreat in time and be counterattacked by your opponent.

The Heat's counterattack was very powerful.

Brown also knew that what Li Liang said made sense. The Pacers' configuration was different from that of the Lakers.

The Pacers have Paul George and Granger on the front line, and George Hill and Stephenson on the back line.

Several of them have strong defensive abilities, and George Hill can occasionally defend James.

Therefore, Hibbert and West can safely and boldly rush to grab offensive rebounds without worrying about retreating.

And the Lakers' front line and back line are old and weak. If one is not careful, they will not be able to grab the offensive rebounds and will be torn to pieces by the Heat's counterattack.

But the game is sometimes a gamble. Brown felt that when Li Liang left the game early due to a foul, it was necessary to take a chance and use offensive rebounds to stabilize the situation and even gain an advantage.

Otherwise, if the Heat take the initiative in scoring in an away game, it will be very difficult to catch up later.

Brown insisted on his own adjustment, Li Liang didn't say anything more, he still respected Brown at this time.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

"Let's take a look. After the Lakers replaced Li Liang, they replaced Gasol. In this case, the pressure on the Lakers' outside defense will be greater, and the corresponding inside offense will be strengthened. We know that in the Eastern Conference finals, the walking The insiders have created a lot of trouble for the Heat."

"Yes, the Heat's inside line has always been a problem. Let's see what changes the Lakers will have."

The Lakers changed from Nash to Kobe on the outside. After making a three-pointer in the opening game, Kobe also hit a mid-range shot and made two of two shots.

It can be seen that Kobe played extremely carefully tonight.

His possession of the ball on the outside attracted the Heat's defensive attention. Howard went around to the front of the center, and Kobe made a through pass to Howard.

Howard caught the ball and turned around, hooked and missed.

"Oops, the goal didn't go in, the distance was a bit far, rebound! Hey, Gasol, clicked, out of bounds, look, it was the Lakers' ball, and James stabbed it out. Gasol is really tall. "

Howard's hook was too far away, but Gasol fought against James and Haslem for offensive rebounds alone, and finally helped the Lakers get the ball.

Nash quickly served the ball from the bottom line, Kobe received the ball from the right, and drove the ball from the bottom line to the basket.

Ci Shiping catches the ball, makes a three-pointer from the left corner, and hits it!

Ci Shiping made a three-pointer!

For the Lakers fans, Metta World Peace made a three-pointer last time, and it feels like they have forgotten when it was.

Seems like it was in 2010?

Anyway, Ci Shiping's outside shooting percentage this season is really cheating, and he often misses wide open spots.

But in a game like the finals, Ci Shiping was relentless and hit a three-pointer.

Originally, Li Liang was off the field, and the Lakers' outside three-point threat was greatly weakened.

But Ci Shiping's three-pointer made the Heat dare not shrink easily.

"Kobe's pass just now was very beautiful. Surrounded by three people, he was about to go out of bounds and found Metta World Peace in the bottom corner. This three-pointer is very important to the Lakers. The Lakers need such a shot."

"That's right, our Heat's offense, the Heat's side is still the starter at the beginning of the game, and there is no rotation of personnel... James, a post-up single with Metta Shiping, flanking, passed to Wade, Wade's high mid-range shot! A hollow shot outside the basket ?”

The Heat didn't have many ways to attack the position. The Lakers' defense was very tight. Kobe didn't stand on the ribs to direct traffic like in the regular season, but took the initiative to go to the top of the arc in the middle where the defense task is the heaviest.

He first cooperated with Ci Shiping to double-team James, and then after James gave the ball to Wade, he rushed forward to interfere with Wade's shooting.

Wade made a non-stick shot, Gasol picked up a backcourt rebound, and the Lakers counterattacked.

Kobe and Gasol set up a pick-and-roll, hit the ground pass to Gasol, and Gasol missed a mid-range jumper at the horns.

Neither side scored a goal in the next two rounds.

The two sides are in a state of pulling each other. In the first game, neither has found a suitable tactical play.

Although the two teams have played against each other in the regular season, the regular season has never been counted.

Kobe still didn't make an easy shot. He was feeding Howard and Gasol, hoping to open the inside.

James continued to assist, pass, and support, and also expected to drive the team's offense.

But the state of the teammates does not seem to be very good.

At this time, James took the lead to stand up.

When he was attacking the position, he received a pass from Bosh on the right side, Ci Shiping followed a little slower, and James fired directly from outside the three-point line!

"Look at James, three-pointer, oh! Go in! Good goal, James' three-pointer, he didn't score after the timeout, and this time it is tied. James is the kind of you who want to start or I want to fall behind. This one, it’s really powerful.”

Faced with this kind of ball, can Kobe not respond?

impossible.

Next, Kobe held the ball, and with the help of Howard and Gasol's double screens from the outside, he changed direction like a snake and reached the inside with the ball!

Haslem was over a clean, can only pounce on the foul.

But Kobe's footsteps were unstoppable, he picked up the basket with his left hand, and before he was pushed out, he threw the ball into the basket!

"Good shot! It's beautiful, Kobe. Kobe's ball accelerated and hit the inside of the Heat. Haslem's ball was out of control, he could only foul, but he didn't pull people down, he still scored, and he needed to be punished .”

As soon as Kobe scored a goal, Zhang directed the star to become more energetic, and his voice raised a lot.

The two points were valid, and Kobe had to add a penalty, and the penalty hit. The score became 21:18, and the Lakers led by 3 points.

The TV camera showed the current NBA president David Stern who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. Of course, he will come to Miami to watch the game in person tonight. Sitting next to him is his successor Adam Silva.

There was a smile on Stern's face, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

No way, Kobe VS James, just a round, is the best portrayal.

As long as you are a basketball fan, there is almost no one who does not want to watch the finals match between the two.

After so many years of building momentum, I finally managed to see them standing on the stage of the finals. Even if you sew Aunt Si's mouth shut, he will tell you from the corner of his eyes that he is smiling.

Silva, who was sitting next to Stern, had a much more serious expression. He might be thinking, this season Kobe VS James has passed, what should he do next season when he is in charge?

Who could be the Michael Jordan of his presidential era?

He didn't know, and was still looking for answers.

Silva's eyes swept towards the Lakers' bench, the No. 28 Chinese miracle kid.

Anyway, in the Olympia Building, the NBA headquarters, everyone called him that, "Wonder boy".

Silva thought, can this guy be the No. 1 player in the NBA?

His appearance can really be described as "turned out of nowhere". I never thought that such a No. 1 figure would emerge in the NBA.

Silva still remembers that when he was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 55th overall pick in last year's draft, the two shook hands on the stage.

At that time, Silva felt that this was just a passerby, and his mind was full of thoughts about going to the hotel to take a good rest after the draft. The long draft was exhausting.

A season is almost over, and this guy has become a key figure for the Lakers, an All-Star, and stood on the stage of the Finals.

However, it is unbelievable to think of a yellow-skinned Chinese as the top card in the NBA.

He is almost as important as an important force, but he is really far behind the top card, far away.

Silva shook his head and turned his attention to the field.

The two focal points on the court, Kobe and James, the two kings of the old era.

Possibly two of the best players on the planet, but they're from the Stern era.

...

When Kobe made a free throw, the Heat made personnel adjustments, replacing Wade with Ray Allen and Haslem with Mike Miller.

This is a very risky substitution. Only Bosh is left on the field, while the Lakers still have twin towers on the field.

Spoelstra is sure about this. Howard's offensive state is not good, and he wants to use the first and fourth juniors to drag down the Lakers on offense.

Sure enough, as soon as Ray Allen came on the court, he slid the bottom line and circled a big circle to the left 45 degrees, received a pass from James, and made a three-pointer!

There was a problem with the Lakers' defensive communication on this ball. Kobe couldn't keep up, and Ray Allen easily ran out of the wide open.

As long as Li Liang is not on the court, the Lakers' outside defensive strength and concentration will drop.

The two sides drew again.

The Lakers saw that the Heat used one big and four small ones, and wanted to give Gasol singles.

But Mike Miller went around Gasol, and James was ready to double-team Gasol at any time.

The Heat's defensive height is not enough, relying on strength and coverage, interfering with the Lakers' passing and compressing their space.

But both Kobe and Nash are masters at creating space, and Kobe is even more unafraid of intensity.

With no way to pass the ball to Gasol alone, Kobe opened up one-on-one from the outside, and after changing defenses, he used continuous changes to attack James!

He tore the Heat's defense from the right side, Bosh inside the defense, Bryant finally found a chance to pass a comfortable ball to Howard.

But just as Howard was about to get up with the ball, he was interfered by James behind him.

After defending Kobe, James had to defend Howard, which caused Howard to miss an inevitable layup.

But Howard's height is dominant after all. He grabs rebounds when he misses a layup. Bosh has a long neck, but you can't grab it.

Howard, who took the rebound, is back! Bosh did nothing, fouled, and sent Howard to the free throw line.

"Oh, this ball, Bosh would rather let Howard go to the free throw line than give Howard an easy chance to score. Howard hasn't scored yet."

During Howard's peak in 2009, he averaged only 15 points per game in the finals and only 8.6 shots per game.

It shows that Howard's offense can be used in the regular season, averaging 20 points per game. In the playoffs, if the opponent's inside defense is average or in good condition, he will occasionally explode.

When it comes to the confrontation at the finals level, facing the super strong team, his scoring ability is stretched.

The ball was exchanged for O'Neal, who cooperated with Kobe, and got the ball under the basket. It is estimated that Bosh did not have the courage to foul.

Standing on the free throw line, Howard made two free throws and one, which is not bad, as long as he can make it.

The Lakers regained the lead by 1 point, 22:21.

It was the Heat's turn. This time James stopped passing the ball to his teammates. He took the ball from the outside and the Heat pulled away. He wanted to fight Ci Shiping one-on-one.

Metta Shiping directly puts James two steps away. This is Mike Brown's defensive strategy, let you shoot.

And James really didn't vote, and chose to force Ci Shiping from the left!

Metta Shiping's speed is not good, but she has strength and defensive awareness, keeping up with James' speed.

James was not his dominant player when he went left. When he rushed to the basket, his momentum was obviously insufficient. He wanted to lay up and found that Howard was already waiting to block the shot.

Wants to pass, no angles.

As a result, he jumped and struggled in the air, neither passed nor shot, and finally the ball flew out...

Ci Shiping took the ball down, and the Lakers had a good chance to counterattack.

"This ball is Howard's defense. The replacement is very timely. James is a bit in a hurry."

Howard's offense is indeed not good, but his defensive skills are still there.

In 2009, it was he who stopped the 23vs24 at the time, and single-handedly blocked James, who averaged 38 points per game in the series, from the gate of the finals.

The Heat's defensive end against Gasol is still around the front, Nash tried to play the ball to Gasol, without success.

Moving to the other side, Bryant holds the ball and passes it to Howard in the low post.

Howard received the ball, Sigma stepped back and turned to face Bosh. He hit the basket with his left hand and dribbled the ball into the basket. After pushing Bosh away, he dunked with his left hand!

"Howard, dunks against Bosh at the basket! Great shot! It's been a long time since Howard dunked like this, dreaming back to the top! Who would have thought that in 2009, it was him who blocked James and fought against Kobe in the finals Now, the three of them are standing on the stage of the finals, reunited after a long absence. It can only be said that the world is impermanent and unpredictable."

Four idioms in one breath is really enjoyable.
