The Basketball Court Swordsman

"This guy has a brain disease."

This is James' evaluation to Stephenson. He glanced at Stephenson disgustingly. At this time, the referee blew a whistle and the Heat's sideline ball came out!

James immediately ran according to the tactics. According to Spoelstra's pre-match arrangement, most of the out-of-bounds **** should be taken by James. But Stephenson would not let James do what he wanted. He has been blocking James, of course, still staring at James with that funny look.

James sees that he can't get rid of Stephenson, and his service time is not waiting for anyone. So he raised his hand gently and motioned Bosh to pass a high ball.

"Oh." Seeing this scene, Henson whispered strangely. Do not raise your arms in front of Stephenson!

"Ah!" The next second, Stephenson yelled, then fell back exaggeratedly, covering his right eye.

"Toot toot!" The referee's hastily whistle cut across the court. Judging from his gestures, the referee blew LeBron James an...offensive foul! ?

"What!?" James' arm was still in the air, and he admitted that he had touched Stephenson, but he would never have the effect of an elbow! This scene reminded him of David West of last season!

Through the slow motion playback, everyone clearly saw that the moment James raised his hand, his elbow did touch Stephenson. But such a thing as strength is insignificant through playback alone. God knows if James deliberately elbow Stephenson, after all, that funny guy even breathed at James...

In this way, James was inexplicably called an offensive foul, and the ball returned to the Pacers!

"Fuck, a bunch of filthy guys!" James muttered. It used to be troublesome to have a David West, but now there are more people who "touch porcelain" outside.

"You let him do it?" Vogel walked to Henson and asked, holding back a smile on his face. If he is caught smiling by the camera, things will be revealed.

"I'm not that kind of coach, Frank. I just called him to "stimulate" LeBron. As for how to "stimulate", that's what Stephenson should consider."

James knows to remain calm on the court, but Stephenson has also successfully stimulated him. A seemingly "mentally handicapped" blow and a dive were enough to make James angry. What's more, it was still in the situation where the game was so anxious.

With the next goal, Paul finally broke through with Yi Jianlian's screen. Battier clung to the compatriots of former teammate Yao Ming, while others were attracted by Paul, who shot into the penalty area like a bullet.

Paul leaped high in the air, and Bosh, Wade and James rushed to block! But in the air, Paul "changed" the ball from the gap of a few people into the hand of Jimmy Butler like a magic trick. As a result, the Heat's generals could only watch Jimmy Butler dunk with his right hand with horrified eyes.

The last round was Stephenson, this round was Jimmy Butler. The Pacers were using the most unexpected offensive points for the Heat to score, and the draw was pulled to 4 points. The situation is undergoing subtle changes.

Stephenson and Jimmy Butler, they may not be the most dazzling players on the Pacers, but they are definitely the kind of players that can change the game.

In the next few rounds, the Heat's offense began to become unstable. The defenses of Stephenson and Jimmy Butler are a bit too tough, which annoys James.

In the last 15 seconds of the first quarter, after James missed another layup, he complained to the referee that the two guys Jimmy Butler and Stephenson were too dirty, but instead he ate a technical foul.

The referee certainly knows that Jimmy Butler and Stephenson are not honest, but the Heat players are not honest. It is true that Shane West’s lower body is true, and it is true that Bosh and Haslem elbowed Horford again and again. But this is the conference finals. As long as there are no accidents, of course the more intense the better!

In the case of equal treatment, the referee does not call the Heat foul, and it is naturally impossible to call the Pacers foul. Therefore, James' complaint is ignored by the referee.

So, with this stubborn energy, James finished with a technical foul after playing the full 12 minutes of the first quarter. The Miami Heat are 4 points behind the Pacers at home!

During the break, Jimmy Butler and Stephenson undoubtedly became a hot topic. Of course, on the Heat’s bench, Spoelstra is also "enthusiastically" discussing these two boys.

However Henson did not intend to let Stephenson and Jimmy Butler continue to play, he wanted to let Spoelstra a pigeon.

So when the game came up in the second quarter, the Pacers switched back to a regular starter, only to replace Paul, who played a long time in the first quarter, with Livingston. The energetic starters of the Pacers made the Heat almost collapsed at the beginning of the game. In the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Heat scored two points with Wade's mid-range shot.

And David West and Horford began to fight the Heat inside. In the first quarter of the game, the Pacers were still attacking the outside line, but in the second quarter it became the main line of attack. For James, who likes to fall into the low post, Henson also used occasional pincers to defend. In this way, even James does not know when he should prepare for the pass in advance and when he should prepare for the offense in advance.

At the end of the second quarter, Henson once again offered Stephenson and Butler. After the two energetic young men came on the field, they gave a slam hammer, which made the Heat fall behind the Pacers by a full 10 points after halftime!

"Coach Henson's strategy is very changeable, he almost stuck the throat of the Miamians! As long as you continue to use force, the Heat will suffocate at home!"

"Coach Spoelstra was caught off guard by the Pacers' strategy because Henson has been changing strategy. And the most frightening thing is that his changed strategy has worked very well!"

Mike Brin and Kevin Harlan have seen the problems of this game, but they have not summarized well enough.

To sum up with Henson's words, it is-when you have enough changes, 4 victories will come in handy.

In the second half, the two sides still played fiercely. But with a 10-point difference hanging over the head, the Miami Heat were suppressed at home instead.

At the end of the third quarter, Wade scored 6 points to catch up to 74 to 70. But in the next three minutes, the Heat experienced an embarrassing period of three minutes without scoring under the Pacers' high-pressure defense. The Heat's offense in this series is always intermittent, either continuously scoring or continuously not scoring. But there is no doubt that such an offensive model does not benefit the Heat at all.

When they can score, the Pacers can also score. And when they can't score, the Pacers can still score! One come and two go too much, the points difference will be opened.

James received the basketball 4 seconds before the end of the third quarter, ready to launch an impact. At this time, it was Stephenson who defended James! Stephenson's defense was very tight. When James broke halfway, Stephenson suddenly fell to the ground and the referee once again blew the whistle. Through slow motion playback, James had an elbow movement when he attacked, and he was blown offensive foul, but left the Pacers 2 seconds!

This time, James did not explain to the referee because he did have an elbow. As soon as he saw Stephenson's funny face, plus the current 10 points difference, James was upset. Therefore, in the breakthrough process, the "emperor" failed to control the intensity and behavior.

"Once again, Lance made another offensive foul for James! This is already LeBron's fourth foul in this game, and there are two offensive fouls made by Stephenson! The last quarter of the game, LeBron You have to converge a bit!"

When Mike Brin said these words, the third quarter ended with 2 seconds left. Henson did not hesitate to call a timeout for these 2 seconds, arranged a sideline tactic, and then replaced George and Ray Allen.

Naturally, the Heat's defensive players put the defensive focus on George and Ray Allen. They seem to have forgotten that what the Pacers did the most today is to make you mistakenly think that you have caught their offensive point!

George made a reverse run and cut to the rim, while Ray Allen took advantage of West's cover to catch the ball. Such big moves by these two men naturally attracted the attention of the Heat's defense.

But in the end, Horford passed the ball to Stephenson! At the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Stephenson caught the ball and jumped and shot! James intended to help protect against mine Allen, but unexpectedly Henson would let Stephenson throw the ball! By the time he lunged at Stephenson, No. 1 in the corn yellow jersey had already finished his shot!

The backboard glowed red, and the electronic buzzer sounded through the audience. At the same time, the sweet voice of the Nets also caught people's ears. Of course, for all the Heat fans present, this sound is not pleasant to the ear.

"Lance Stephenson, haha, the substitution of Coach Henson is just a pretense, he deceived everyone! A three-pointer at the buzzer, Lance widened the point difference to 13 points before the end of the third quarter!"

James looked up unwillingly, but found that Stephenson was playing an "air guitar" on the floor of the American Airlines Arena.

Henson's various unexpected changes in this game have completely stunned Spoelstra. And James has committed 4 fouls at this time, which is quite dangerous. Not to mention, after the three quarters, the gap between the two teams has come to 13 points.

Henson confidently picked up the tactical board and greeted everyone on the field. Spoelstra had his hands on his hips, his eyes blurred, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe he is thinking, the loss of this game is only a matter of time...
