With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers and Heat both made substitutions to adjust their lineups.
At this time, the score on the court was 26 to 22, and the Los Angeles Lakers led by 4 points.
After adjusting the lineup, the Heat players on the court are Chalmers, Wade, Norris Cole, James and Chris Bosh.
The Heat's Big Three are still on the court, and the remaining Chalmers and Cole are the Heat's two newly emerging young players.
This season, Cole's three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is as high as 50%, and Chalmers is one of the few players in the Heat who shoots more than 40% of his three-pointers in the regular season, averaging 1.6 three-pointers per game.
In this lineup of the Heat, the four players on the outside can control the ball and play in isolation. At the same time, the four players around James all have excellent shooting abilities.
The Heat's lineup is a lineup that fully utilizes James' pick-and-roll ability.
"The Miami Heat's counterattack has begun!"
"LeGo! Miami!!!"
Under the guidance of the on-site Dj, the Heat fans who had been numbed by the display of the Lakers' top five guards could finally cheer for the Heat!
"Our king is back!"
"Ouch~Kg-James!"
"Our King will bring us victory!!"
"Ouch~Kg James!"
"Our King will kill everyone!!!"
"Ouch~Kg James!!!"
Amid the cheers of Heat fans in the audience, James, who was the focus of the game, looked like a king sitting on a throne overlooking all living beings, once again showing his murderous eyes.
"The eye of death reappears, our king is completely resurrected!!!"
"Ouch~Kg! Kg! Kg!!"
It can allow James to try again the Eye of Death that was just defeated. Of course, the Lakers' lineup on the court at this time is too suitable for him.
Kobe, Carter, Ebanks, Artest, Y.
These five people all look tall and tall, and it seems that each of them can defend him.
actually not.
Being tall means moving slowly, and all the teammates around him can open up the space. As long as he breaks through in the pick-and-roll, these big men can't fill in like McGrady.
Moreover, except for Carter and Y, all the Lakers players now have problems with their offense.
Carter has already consumed a lot again.
Finally, only Y can attack.
This is very simple.
You can attack yourself with unlimited pick-and-rolls.
The defense just needs to shrink.
"When the top five defenders are here, you can attack me like crazy because you have the invincible offensive capabilities of the top five defenders. No matter how many points you lose, you are not afraid."
"Now, let me see if you dare to flank me!"
This is his confidence!
Pat Riley is right, as long as he waits, he will be king!
The Lakers' lineup has flaws. James can see it, and the commentators on the scene can naturally see it clearly.
Every player on the Heat can attack, and every player can open up space and attack.
As for the Lakers players, except for Y and Carter, no one's shooting is worthy of confidence.
And it looks extremely bulky in front of these small Heat players.
"After Howard was sent off, Coach D couldn't let Y guard the basket defense alone. He needed others to help Y. If Oden and Gasol were added, the lineup would be too big and dangerous. Coach D had no choice. He it's the only way!"
"I understand Coach D's helplessness very well, so I also understand why Coach D is so angry about Howard leaving the game."
"Howard is the key to Coach D's ability to put only one defensive player on the court and all other players to attack. When playing against the Heat, you can't defend. Defense is useless. You must attack. And now without Howard, the Lakers' rotation cannot attack. !!」
The game resumed with the Heat taking a baseline kick.
Wade dribbled the ball across half court.
Originally, James thought he was being defended by either Carter or Kobe.
Unexpectedly, the person guarding him was actually Artest, who was playing power forward! !
This would be great.
No more pick-and-rolls!
You don’t have to worry about others saying that you are looking for a rookie to pick and roll!
I can also be like Jordan, who can guard and beat whomever!
Five players on the Lakers court.
If you want to say who is the best to play, it must be Artest.
Artest is now a famous defensive player in the NBA.
He was blown away by Durant in the 2012 playoffs.
In the past two seasons, when encountering the league's three big forwards, he basically surrendered. He used to be the strongest defensive player, but now, all he has left is shouting and scaring young people.
So after halftime, Wade hit the ball directly to James.
In Wade's view, James played Artest casually.
After James caught the ball, he looked at Artest with the eyes of death.
Artest looked at the death eye of James, who had been knocked out by his coach once. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked seriously: "LeBron, doesn't it hurt when your eyes roll up and stare like this?"
"..."
Artest's problem directly derailed James.
Huh?
The audience at the scene saw James' death eye disappear instantly, and then reappear very intelligently.
and!
"The king is angry again!!!"
"Congratulations to Artest for successfully angering our king!!!"
"Does Artest think he is one of the top four guards? He is worthy of angering our king!"
Amid the crazy cheers from the Heat Dj, the Heat fans at the scene also let out crazy cheers again.
Amid such cheers, James moved.
"Is this kid Ron's brain not repaired recently and he is sick again?"
In front of the TV, in different places, Reggie Miller, Stephen Jackson, and O'Neal all had worried looks on their faces and frowned.
Artest is as fast as a dead man and is defending James closely. What does he think?
On the court.
Facing Artest, who had only half his life left, James didn't even think about it. He opened a distance and went directly to the right to attack Artest!
This time, he didn't even bother to steal a step, not even a single step.
With James' explosive power and impact, Reggie Miller, O'Neal Jr. and Stephen Jackson couldn't bear to watch in front of the TV.
This guy Ron must have died miserably!
When James started, the Heat fans at the scene were already ready to laugh at Artest and Du Kang, who replaced Artest.
There was a bang!
James' tank breakthrough did not run over Artest, but directly hit Artest!
How can this be? !
The Heat fans who were ready to cheer were momentarily speechless.
Even O'Neal, who was about to mock Artest, his eyes widened at this time, thinking he had seen it wrong! !
James' breakthrough was very fast, but Artest did block it! !
Isn’t the lateral movement and speed enough to rely on advance judgment?
Everyone had this idea for a while.
Including James.
At this time, on the court, James, who had not killed Artest for the first time, looked unhappy.
The Eye of Death became even more angry.
With Artest's current weight and strength, he slammed into Artest's body like this, which shows how much energy was caused.
In this huge energy rush
Hit down.
He almost dropped the ball and almost fell backwards.
And Artest... remained motionless!
This guy!
In this sudden attack, he didn't expect Artest to be able to stop him, so he suffered a loss!
It doesn't matter if you suffer a loss, it's the same thing to regain the position!
You can predict me once, let me see how you predict me the second time!
James adjusted and prepared for another tank breakthrough.
"Congratulations, you totally pissed me off!"
After James finished speaking, he rushed out to Artest's right side.
This time, he rushed to Artest before putting the ball down.
No matter how strong his defensive prediction ability is, it's useless!
This time, it was his strongest tank breakthrough!
Only releasing the ball when a breakthrough is about to occur is impossible to predict!
Artest didn't move laterally.
The lateral movement must be slow.
He couldn't retreat fast enough, but he had the hand!
"Thanks to the coach, my reflexes are back!!"
Snap!
James finally put the ball down and heard the sound of the ball being broken almost at the same time as he put the ball down!
How can this be? !
"Oh my God, James passed and the ball stayed!!!"
"Artest stole the ball from James!! Artest actually stole LeBron James' tank breakthrough! Oh my god, this is the first step of an invincible tank breakthrough!!!"
Seeing James stealing the ball against the aging Artest in a single, the Heat fans at the scene were dumbfounded.
The Heat's DJ, who was enthusiastic just now, had already fallen silent.
Pat Riley in the stands stared wide-eyed with an expression of disbelief.
Can Artest steal James?
Can Artest steal James' tank breakthrough now?
James does often drop the ball in his tank breakthroughs, but this is not a dropped ball, this is a direct steal!
Pat Riley looked in shock at the man standing there smiling in front of the Lakers bench not far away.
"Coach D?!"
This man, actually! ! !
Tell Artest not to pass the ball and attack directly! !
Meanwhile, on the field.
After Artest stole the ball, he started a fast break.
Artest's dribbling posture is very interesting.
Many people say that Artest's breakthrough is like a toad, with broad shoulders and wide open legs. When he squats down, doesn't he look like a standing toad?
In fact, this was after he gained weight. Although Artest's breakthrough with the Pacers was not picturesque, it was still very satisfying, especially that little moustache.
Later, it became ugly, mainly due to the decline in athletic ability, plus the weight gain and firmness.
Although Artest is now dreaming of returning to his peak.
but……
Because of his weight, like Maizi, his athletic ability is temporarily in a state of slight decline.
So ability is peak ability.
But the posture of playing ball is that of an elderly person, which is very joyful.
And not that fast.
In this case, Artest should be the best passer. .
But Artest didn't pass the ball.
He feels that he can still be faster, and he is adapting to his body.
Then, the coach asked him to attack!
"Oh my God, is Artest even waiting for James to come up again?!"
The four major guards and Nash just waited for James to come up and fuck hard.
Do you think Artest is a ball?
Are you worthy of facing off against James?
When we were on defense just now, it was okay to be dominated by the four defenders.
Now even Artest dares to challenge himself in front of him.
Who can bear this?
James, who had been chasing Artest after the ball was stolen.
At this time, I feel that my speed is much faster.
finally!
When Artest was about to lay up, James caught up!
Artest is not Iverson.
He felt that James' pursuit was coming behind him.
However, pulling the lever, turning around in the air, and looking back at the moon are all too difficult for Artest.
Therefore, when he felt James' pursuit, Artest changed one hand to two hands, and changed a layup to a dunk. After completing a confrontation with James in the air, he dunked the basketball in his hand!
He's not Iverson, he's not afraid of confrontation.
Jordan could break two ribs, let alone James?
James, who was chasing Artest from behind, never thought that Artest did not lay up and dunk directly, but instead dunked after confronting him.
After Artest elbowed him in the air, James flew straight away!
Yes, it flew directly!
When Artest's body was knocked crooked, he had a basket to grab onto.
James can't catch the basket!
And the most disgusting thing about James is that Artest’s elbow was resting there for a dunk, and he hit it himself!
Bang!
Bang!
The fans in the audience were silent!
Yes, all the fans in the audience were silent!
Even the on-site commentators were all standing at this time, looking like they didn't know what to say!
The referee on the scene, after being stunned for a few seconds, ran up to Artest and whistled a flagrant foul.
Seeing the referee give Artest a first-level flagrant foul, Du Kang on the sidelines laughed.
Then……
Another T!
"Coach D is eating T!"
"Coach D got the first T of his career because of his smile!"
Seeing Du Kang eating T, the commentators from various countries in the on-site commentary box were all excited.
In the aerial confrontation between Artest and James just now, was Artest's elbow intentional or not?
This is indeed a very heart-warming thing.
On purpose, it must have been Level 2, and Artest was ejected directly.
If it was not intentional, it was just a normal dunk action, and the defensive player bumped into it, it seems that the penalty should not be imposed like this.
Simply put, it’s like a red dot package for football.
Either you don't blow, or if you blow, there should be red dots instead of yellow dots.
Since you are taking the initiative when you brag about Artest, it should not be Level 1, but Level 2. If it is not the initiative, then you shouldn't be bragging like this.
No wonder Coach D is laughing because you are playing Level 1.
I saw that Coach D was also given a T.
Logically speaking, the Heat fans at the scene should be happy.
However, now they are really not happy at all.
Even James, who was pulled up from the ground by Wade, looked very ugly at this time.
He suffered losses in both offensive and defensive confrontations with Artest!
If it weren't for this penalty, he would have been intercepted and dunked by Artest.
Amid the sparse cheers of the fans at the scene, James waited fiercely for Artest.
His anger level continued to soar.
Let's put it this way, against a star small forward like Artest who is supported by thousands of people, a 50-50 tie is a shame.
"Coach D is really awesome in this game. First he asked the four top guards and Nash to fight James like crazy, and now he asked Artest to take the initiative to fight James, and he still had the upper hand!!"
"Hahahaha, James must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. If it were me, I would also feel very uncomfortable.
It’s uncomfortable. It’s okay to be beaten by the four top guards and Nash, but I’m actually being stared at and beaten by Artest. Hahahaha... Coach D is so crazy! ! "
"In order to avenge Howard, Coach D seems to be determined to defeat James in this game!"
"As long as you can fuck James, do you want to do it all?"
The referee watched the replay and confirmed that Artest's foul was a first-level flagrant foul, and the Heat made two free throws.
Including Du Kang's technical foul free throws, there are 3 free throws.
At the free throw line, James rubbed his cheek while shooting free throws.
In the end, he made 1 of 3 free throws.
26 to 23!
The Heat still have a chance to attack.
No one would be happy after being elbowed like that by Artest.
Of course James wants to regain his place.
and!
An ordinary venue is not enough, it must be a big venue!
"Dwyane, give me the ball!"
This time Artest must be crushed in order to dispel his hatred!
After James got the ball, Artest quickly posted it.
James wanted to find a breakthrough opportunity, but what shocked James and the Heat fans at the scene was.
"James didn't use the pick-and-roll, but he couldn't hit the 33-year-old Artest?!"
"Is this the number one person in our alliance?"
"Is this the future new king of the NBA?!"
James can't beat Carter. It's okay to say that, after all, Carter also has a super reputation.
And Artest...
At his peak, Artest only made one All-Star appearance and was a substitute.
In terms of reputation, the elderly Artest is almost equal to JJ Barea!
He can't beat the aging Artest in frontal singles with the ball.
It's almost equivalent to being unable to beat JJ Barea with a post-up.
"How can this be?"
James once again distanced himself from Artest, preparing for another breakthrough.
But Artest got close to him when he opened the distance, not giving James any room to accelerate.
This resulted in James not only failing to complete a one-on-one breakthrough against Artest, but even moving further and further outside.
Every time he has to distance himself and attack, Artest will stick to him every time, so he will naturally move further and further outside.
"Pass the ball, LeBron, pass the ball!!!"
Seeing that James was being forced into a desperate situation by Artest in a one-on-one singles, Wade hurriedly came over to respond.
But what made Wade unbelievable was that it was okay if he didn't speak. After he spoke, James became even more impatient.
Without closing the distance, he bumped directly into Artest.
Such a reckless breakthrough would naturally not knock Artest away.
and!
"James dropped the ball!!!"
"Oh my God! James was defended by Artest again!!!"
James looked at Artest with wide eyes as he passed by after stealing the ball.
Wade had no time to be shocked and quickly chased Artest.
James only reacted when the other Lakers players started all fast breaks.
I have to say that Wade worked really hard.
Artest failed to complete the fast break and was blocked by Wade at the free throw line.
In the end, Artest had no choice but to hit the ball to Ebanks, who was the fastest to catch up.
Ebanks received Artest's pass and faced James rushing up, but did not pass the ball again.
"Ebanks wants to rape James!!"
"Coach D actually asked Ebanks to hit James on the sidelines!!!!"
The enthusiastic audience at the scene and the commentators on the scene were all like crazy!
Even many old fans who have watched the NBA for many years in front of the TV find it difficult
Watch what happens in the game with belief.
Every player on the Lakers will fuck James when they get the ball!
How crazy this is!
And all this madness was brought about by Coach D! ! !
"Because they got rid of Coach D's beloved Howard, Coach D must get rid of their favorite James!!"
"As expected, it's the elegant and graceful Coach D!!!"
James rushed over to block Ebanks' shot.
But Ebanks simply wasn't shooting.
After receiving a pass from Artest while sprinting at high speed, he did not stop suddenly but continued to accelerate and sprint!
James, who originally thought Ebanks would shoot, was almost knocked down by Ebanks!
In fact, if kneeling down on one knee is considered a fall, James has already been brought down.
Wade, who had just blocked Artest, looked at the rushing Ebanks and the Lakers and Heat players who were also rushing behind Ebanks.
In the end, Artest could only be let go to help defend Ebanks again.
He will never allow LeBron to score a ball brought down by a role player!
He will never allow LeBron to become the backdrop for someone like Ebanks!
However!
Facing Wade's help defense, Ebanks ignored it at all and jumped up directly. With Wade's help defense, Ebanks completed a powerful one-handed chop!
"Wade, who ranks first among guards in blocking shots, actually didn't block Ebanks, a role player who was completely unprepared for a dunk!!!"
"It's incredible! LeBron has become the backdrop for a young role player!!"
The four major guards, Nash, Artest, Ebanks...
This is no longer the case! !
James stood up from the ground and looked blankly at Ebanks coming off the basket.
Why is this happening?
Why?
At the same time, the entire American Airlines Arena was silent!
"LeBron's eye of death was knocked away by Coach D again!!!!"
At the end of the first quarter, James, who was originally going to harvest the Lakers, failed to do so.
In three minutes, not even a single point was scored in the sports battle.
When leaving the field.
"Coach is really amazing, you can't even break through me even if you walk, hahahaha!"
"..."
James looked dumbly at the opponent who was smiling happily.
"Coach D..."
Heat bench.
Looking at James who lowered his head at this time.
Heat coach Spoelstra has a headache.
Pat Riley, who had come down from the stands at this time, also had a headache.
Now of course James is not broken.
But LeBron's mentality has changed dramatically.
Maybe, this is just the last straw.
"Coach D!!"
Pat Riley closed his eyes.
And at this moment...
"Mr. Riley, look, the Lakers players are on the court. The Lakers did not use Carter, Kobe, or even Artest in the five-guard rotation!!"
Pat Riley looked towards the court in shock.
"Antoine Jamieson!!!"
"Coach D actually dared to mess with our King's former CBA teammate from the Cavaliers, Antawn Jamison, on the stage of the Finals at such a critical moment!!!!"
Hearing the crazy sound of the Heat DJ at the scene, James, who was originally uncomfortable with a towel covering his head, stood up again this time!
"Spo, rotate in the second quarter, I want to play!"
Seeing the murderous look in James' eyes, Spoelstra was very excited.
LeBron, you are finally back again!
I knew tonight's game was so important to you
Yes, you will definitely not collapse, you will definitely not be defeated by Coach D!
"Our King is here again!"
"Our King is the bravest warrior in the world!!"
The Heat audience, which had been suppressed for a whole quarter, was going crazy.
Pat Riley frowned and looked at Coach D not far away.
Look at the smile on Coach D’s face.
Pat Riley's heart skipped a beat.
trap! !
Pat Riley looks to the field again!
That's excited James! !
There was no way he could stop this super sweet trap!
Farke! !
not good! ! !
But!
Looking at Jamison kissing his wristband on the court.
How could he be a trap! !
Will LeBron be shown off by his former CBA teammates?
Coach D’s idea is very vicious. There is no more vicious plot to kill people than this!
However, he does not have this strength now!
I must be scaring myself! !
"Eye of Death! We saw the King's Eye of Death again!!!"
American Airlines Arena is boiling! !
"The final boil!"
Du Kang smiled.
