June 11 at American Airlines Arena.
At this moment, the G2 game of the Finals was going on in the arena. All the fans and spectators were attracted by O'Neal. On the court, O'Neal caught the ball in the low post, banged twice, hit Diop, turned around and pulled. The ball was fouled before it even hit the basket.
Beep——!
The whistle blows, that's it?
A physical fight between two fat guys. If they can't beat each other, they'll get a foul. What's so exciting about this?
It's not sumo wrestling, but you can still see your body naked. It's disgusting on the outside, but you're still wearing a jersey.
There are still some points to watch. For example, the one who untie the bell also needs the one who ties the bell. O'Neal tied a body of fat on his body, so the only way to solve him is a fat man like Diop. If not, Yao Ming would also It’s not like he also hangs flesh on his body and becomes the female omen, the sun and the moon.
Of course, that's not the point.
This is not heavy!
Where is the weight?
The important thing is, do you think it's possible that O'Neal has been damaged, fallen off the altar, and is no longer the same O'Neal?
"Gene Era"
Are you dazzled?
The opponent Diop played 12 minutes and was beaten to 5 fouls. He was sober on the bench and got 1 point and 4 rebounds. In terms of comparison, there is no harm.
The weight is 145 kg and has not changed.
Free throws, 1 of 7, still poor.
He grabbed 6 rebounds. The more 6 rebounds, the more glorious it is. At most, it just proves that O'Neal is lazy again.
Score...2-for-5 from the field, plus 1 on free throws.
hiss--!
It doesn’t matter if you look at it separately, but if you look at it together, it’s just 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 28 hours of playing time. This is not enough data to feed a cat. It is also the stage of the finals. There is no saying that Yao Ming is holding back. Does gaining weight become meaningless?
If it's just to limit O'Neal?
Phew, don’t change the subject!
O'Neal probably, maybe, maybe, maybe, the water of the Yangtze River is really rolling eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes...
To put it bluntly, this is not popular!
It's not that I said the wrong thing. I was afraid of offending people. O'Neal really couldn't stand up to him in this finals.
In G1, the Mavericks used Diop and Dampier to restrict O'Neal relatively well.
I didn't feel anything in that game because O'Neal made 8 of 11 shots. Now in the G2 game, O'Neal has been exposed. Diop and Dampier have adapted to the intensity and hardness, and O'Neal has suddenly lost his strength.
O'Neal is not strong, and the Heat are left with Wade's single-core offense. Do you think there is still a chance to win?
Of course, anything is possible, Zhou Shuren said.
What about the 0-for-4 shooting percentage in the first quarter?
Well, there is still hope, we still have to have dreams, what if they come true? Zhou Shuren's words are still very reasonable.
Nowitzki, Josh Howard and Stackhouse, all three have found the feeling of shooting. Although Terry did not have convulsions, he performed normally. Do you think it is possible that Wade can still win if he is not in good condition? ?
That...is gone.
You can be more confident and eliminate the possibility that Wade and the Heat will never win.
The cornerstone of the Heat's championship is O'Neal. To put it bluntly, it is holding O'Neal's thigh. When it was discovered that O'Neal's legs were not thick, the Heat's system collapsed.
The score was 98 to 83. The Mavericks defeated the Heat with a 15-point advantage. They won two consecutive games at home and took a 2-0 lead.
In the G2 game, Wade couldn't hide behind him. He had to stand in front. Facing the defense of Josh Howard and Adrian Griffin, Wade's offensive efficiency plummeted.
Without a stable mid-range shot, the offensive skills are still very monotonous, and there is no great success in the Mizongbu. Every time, he has to attack the Mavericks' well-guarded position. When he was young, Jordan couldn't grasp it. Even if he rushed to the penalty area, he still had to protect the basket in the penalty area. Damn it if Wade can play Diop or Dampier who are very capable.
If it weren't for 10 of 11 free throws, Wade's 6-for-19 shooting wouldn't be much better than O'Neal's, with 23 points and 8 rebounds. In a breakout system, he only got 3 assists, and the offensive efficiency can be imagined.
Su Bei made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. His performance was not bad, but it was a pity that the two protagonists Wade and O'Neill were kneeling. Su Bei was an ordinary player. Role players cannot make waves in the overall game.
Nowitzki made 8 of 16 shots and 10 of 11 free throws. While he found his shooting skills, he also became tougher and scored 26 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. O'Neal was declining seriously, but the young Dirk was every He is improving every game and has reached the peak of his career.
In addition, Stackhouse was in hot form. He made 6 of 11 shots from the field. His shooting percentage was nothing. However, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Josh Howard made 6 of 12 shots and Terry made 5 of 15 shots. Compared to the first game, he was stretched out, but he sent 9 assists.
The Mavericks' outside offense flourished, and they were not beaten inside. They even grabbed double-digit rebounds more than the Heat. With such a performance, the Heat lost without any temper.
After two games, the Mavericks' call for the title surpassed that of the Heat, and their winning percentage went from 40-60 to 730-30.
June 13, Miami.
At the American Airlines Center Arena, G3 of the finals started as scheduled.
After losing the first two games, the big problem is that O'Neal played well.
Laili withstood the pressure and still did not change the starting lineup.
It's still O'Neal, Walker, Haslem, Wade and Jason Williams.
Since the problem arises with O'Neal, it is extremely important for Jason Williams to start the game and pass the ball to O'Neal. With Wade's three-legged cat's passing organization skills, it is really difficult to pass the nuclear weapon O'Neal. Play it out.
Su Bei still can't expect to start, and Wade continues to play shooting guard.
Not to mention, Laili has a good vision, and Jason Williams has really good breakthrough and passing abilities, passing several comfortable balls to O'Neal.
O'Neal had a strong starting performance, making 3 of 3 shots. This performance is not unusual. What is strange is that at the free throw line, he actually made 4 of 4 free throws. The shark-cutting tactics could not help O'Neal, and the Mavericks could only shrink.
Then, Wade, who was hiding behind O'Neal, performed strongly again. He made 4 of 6 shots in the first quarter and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 13 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.
Although the performance of others was average, with the offensive basics of Wade and O'Neal as the two core players, and others focusing on defense, the Heat suppressed the Mavericks in the game.
After the first quarter, the score was 29 to 21, giving them an 8-point lead.
In the second quarter of the game, O'Neal and Wade started to lose their performance. Fortunately, the role players worked hard enough and played with the score ahead. The Heat were not afraid of attacking, just let the Mavericks not understand.
The score was 23 to 22. Although the Heat did not have much, they continued to expand their lead.
However, the game came back in the second half.
In the third quarter of the game, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Josh Howard and Terry played an outside screen, withstood Jason Williams' defense, scored 3 points, and also got a chance to add a free throw.
The score was 3+1!
The Mavericks instantly reduced the point difference to 5 points.
Looking back, Jason Williams wanted to make up for it. He made a fake pass and shot a two-point jumper from close range...
Bang-dang——!
The iron is struck.
The Mavericks launched a quick counterattack, and Nowitzki caught the ball and made a layup, hitting two points.
The difference between the two sides is only 2 points.
Jason Williams stopped playing and lobbed the basketball to O'Neal. With a bang, his whole body hung on the basket, and the point difference returned to 4 points.
Then, the Mavericks offensive possession.
Nowitzki pulled out, played a pick-and-roll with Terry, took Terry's pass hand-to-hand, and shot a three-point jumper...
Swish——!
Jason Williams pounced to switch defense, which was also a useless effort.
185 and 213 are facing each other, and they can’t be reached by hand!
The Mavericks played a smooth game, narrowing the point difference to 1 point, and immediately stopped the game.
Calling a timeout and stalling for time are not useful in basketball, especially for a team as emotional as the Mavericks. When the situation gets hot, it is really unstoppable.
The shooting was so accurate that it was unreasonable, but the Mavericks relied on that unreasonable momentum to defend against the opponent's offense.
The offense has the look of a dimensionality reduction attack. In the comparison of damage, the Heat's offense was actually led astray.
The Heat can't make any shots, but the Mavericks' shots are as easy to hit as they drink water from the street.
This is so unscientific and simply outrageous!
Josh Howard made 4 of 4 shots, Nowitzki made 4 of 6 shots, Terry made 2 of 2 shots, Dampier made 3 of 4 shots...
The Mavericks' offense was full of firepower, beating the Heat with a 34-16 spurt, turning the score from 9 points behind to 9 points ahead.
The time left for the Heat is only 12 minutes in one quarter. If they lose this game, the Heat will be 0 to 3 behind in the finals and have no home court advantage. Maybe Qiao Shen will come and replace the 5cm shorter player. Wade probably can’t be saved either.
Laili didn't expect that the Heat would end up in this situation.
How to break this situation?
