A walk in the opening game gave Li Liang a mistake.

Li Liang averaged very few turnovers per game throughout the season, only 1.7.

In contrast, Nash averaged 2.8 turnovers per game, and Kobe had twice as many turnovers as Li Liang, 3.5.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Li Liang completed more than half of the turnover indicators.

Looking back, on the Heat's side, Wade came out to catch a pass from James and missed a mid-range jumper. Howard scored a backcourt rebound.

In the Lakers' counterattack, Kobe dribbled the ball across the half court, used Howard's cover to rush in from the center, and then passed the ball to Li Liang on the wing.

Li Liang catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!

Compared with missing one three-pointer in the first three quarters of the previous game, he made a three-pointer at the beginning of this game.

The Heat fans at the scene were heartbroken and felt a little like leaving the field.

Then both sides' offenses were unsuccessful, the Heat made a quick counterattack, and Bosh caught the ball and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Heat's opening few offenses revolved around Wade and Bosh, and James has been playing an attractive role as a wing.

Spoelstra has learned the lesson from the previous game. When the Heat reach a critical moment, only James and Ray Allen can rely on them.

Bosh, including Wade's state, did not play out.

When the Lakers had Ci Shiping and Li Liang on the outside and Howard on the inside, James forced his way at the last moment and only succeeded twice.

So in this game, it's best for Bosh to start first. Anyway, at the critical moment, his offense can't be counted on. It's better to score more points in the first and second quarters.

Wade's touch needs to be adjusted. His shooting percentage is not very high, but once he feels it, he is really possessed by Jordan, no matter how he shoots.

The 2006 Mavericks can testify.

Subsequently, the Lakers missed again in the offense. Howard caught the ball inside and was double-teamed and missed the hook.

The Heat counterattacked quickly. The Heat caught the ball and quickly dropped it. As a result, the layup was destroyed by Li Liang who followed behind.

Referee Crawford rolled his eyes and awarded the Lakers the ball.

The Heat fans at the scene booed, and Li Liang applauded, thinking that the bald man was still reasonable occasionally.

As a result, after serving in the backcourt, Nash dribbled the ball halfway, and Li Liang came up to cover.

As soon as the screen was finished, Crawford blew his whistle again and called Li Liang a screen foul.

Li Liang is not happy now, is your bald man sick?

Give a slap to a sweet date, put the sweet date in your mouth and haven't chewed it yet, slap it up again and slap the date away.

Li Liang rushed forward to play Li Liang with Crawford, and Crawford warned Li Liang to be careful about technical fouls.

Li Liang didn't care, anyway, he didn't swear, he just turned on the hair dryer and beeped with Crawford for a while.

Crawford, a typical referee, is too controlling. At the beginning of the game, he wanted to show the players, "I have the final say in this game, and I will control the scale. If you are troubled, listen to me obediently."

And looking at the ten players on the court, the most difficult thing to deal with is not James, not Kobe, not Howard, not Wade, but Bruce Lee.

So when Crawford came up, he gave you a walk as a meeting gift, a throw-in to give you some sweetness, and a screen foul to let you know who is the real boss in this game.

But Li Liang did not bow to the bald evil forces, he will fight for this ball no matter what.

Not just for the foul, for the game, but for the whole series.

A senior referee like Crawford will definitely enforce the law after four games in the finals.

If he is messed with so casually, he may suffer a disadvantage in the following games.

So Li Liang argued hard and pestered Crawford not to let him go.

In the end, the audience was booed everywhere, because Crawford did not give Li Liang a technical foul. Several other referees surrounded him and tried to persuade Li Liang.

In the end, Crawford was still Crawford. He couldn't take it anymore, even the hair dryer couldn't hold it down anymore, so he gave Li Liang a T.

There were cheers at the scene, but to be honest, the players on the field, including those from the Heat, wanted to applaud Li Liang.

As a referee, Crawford has a high professional level, but his style is indeed domineering.

The desire to control the arena is very strong, and he likes to show off, often stealing the show.

Most of the players don't like this guy very much, and he tends to influence the trend of the game at critical moments.

Li Liang is the only one with a big mouth in the entire league who dares to argue and reason with domineering referees like Tony Brothers, Crawford, and Scott Fox.

Some superstars, such as James and Kobe, will also communicate with referees, but they cannot do what Li Liang does.

The last person who dared to do this was Allen Iverson. His rebellious temperament made the referee a little scared.

After eating T, Li Liang didn't say anything, but he gave Crawford a hard look.

He was sure that Crawford would at least not target him again.

This small episode consumed about two minutes, and the game continued.

The Heat made a throw-in, and Chalmers missed a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Wade outside.

Then, Kobe counterattacked and missed a mid-range jumper, and Li Liang grabbed an offensive rebound again!

Sipo's heart twitched, can this guy still grab it?

But this time Li Liang failed to make a layup and was interfered by Bosh.

Another grab, still missed, but Bosh fouled this time.

Going to the free throw line, another point was sent, two free throws were made, and the start was 5:2.

The Heat's players were a little flustered, and the Heat's offense felt average after the start.

But the Heat's defense did not collapse, and their defensive strategy has changed compared with the previous game.

It means that the team has increased the defense, especially for the outside line, basically changing on the pick-and-roll.

This made the Lakers a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

After Li Liang made two free throws and swept the Lakers' five points at the start, the Lakers didn't score for three minutes.

The Heat Bosh hit Li Liang in the low post and turned around and hit a jumper.

Then Wade used his footsteps to reach the inside, and a high-strike throw helped the Heat overtake by two points.

After more than half of the first quarter, the Lakers and the Heat scored 8:11, and the Heat led by 3 points.

To be honest, the Heat's offense is really lackluster, there really isn't much there.

The outside line kept moving the ball, and he shot when he found a gap, and the inside line occasionally hit it piecemeal several times.

When there is no other way, leave it to James or Wade to play singles.

After stopping the ball and timeout, Spoelstra will arrange some effective tactical moves. With the help of James' strong vision and passing ability, it will have a miraculous effect.

In addition, the tactical flexibility of the Heat's offense and the sense of attack hierarchy are quite mediocre among championship-level teams.

But the reason why they can become a championship-level team depends on their extremely strong defense, especially the perimeter defense.

And because of the high-efficiency and quick counterattack brought about by high-intensity defense, this is their killer feature for pulling points.

The Lakers were in trouble in the opening game against the Heat, because they were temporarily at a loss for the Heat's defense strategy.

The reason why Spoelstra strengthened his defense changes and changed in the first gear was to cut off the Lakers' pass.

Nash's pass, Kobe's pass, Li Liang's pass.

With this cut, Nash, Kobe, Li Liang and Howard are all trapped in singles.

If all of them except Li Liang are still at the peak, then this kind of defense switch is courting death, and they will be beaten by the Lakers' misplaced singles so that they can't take care of themselves.

But their singles ability has degraded, including Kobe.

This made the Heat's defense change work, and the Lakers' previous very smooth offense could no longer be played.

At this time, it should be the time for head coach Mike Brown to play a role and make adjustments.

But as soon as the timeout came, Mike Brown took out the tactical board and drew for a while, but nothing seemed to be drawn.

In the end, Nash stood up and reminded the players to adjust their offensive strategies.

"Low post, they are switching defenses, we need to reduce the pick-and-roll, play from the low post, Kobe, this is your time. Bruce, don't go to the high post, squat in the corner, help Kobe open, we have to put the Heat at this point in the low post Hold it down, don't give them a chance to switch. I will attack myself, confident, everyone play more confident!"

Confidence, this is Nash's mantra. This white Canadian guard who was once very underestimated and accomplished a lot has never lost the word self-confidence.

That's why he was able to achieve such a great achievement in the end, and now he is not far from the ultimate goal.

Mike Brown listened carefully, and he added: "YES, that's it, get our offense going!"

Li Liang looked at Brown, thinking that this is the end?

Damn, I really don't know how to get this best coach.
