After standing up, James took the initiative to communicate with the referee.
James believed that Zhao Chen's shoulder movements were not legal.
"You are moving and not standing still. His shoulder-sinking movement is a reasonable confrontation." Bald Crawford explained to James.
The NBA does not say that a heavy shoulder is a foul like in the wild. It mainly depends on whether the defender has moved and whether the attacker has malicious intent to hurt the opponent.
Crawford believes that Zhao Chen's confrontation will not cause much harm to James, mainly because James' own focus is not adjusted correctly.
James did not continue to argue.
This ball was because he rashly followed Zhao Chen's pace. Normally speaking, he would not be knocked down by Zhao Chen.
James shook his head and walked towards the locker room.
Wade and Bosh gathered around James and started chatting.
In the first half of the game, the Heat had too many unresolved problems.
.......
"Damn it, Zhao Chen knocked down James at the midfield buzzer!"
"Zhao Chen is awesome, really awesome!"
"James' black material has increased again!"
"Zhan Mi won't even be able to raise her head in front of Zhao Mi from now on."
"There is a suspicion of an offensive foul, but I have to say that Zhao Chen's step back is really beautiful."
Domestic fans are recalling Zhao Chen's goal over and over again.
Zhao Mi was especially excited. When they met James Mi in the future, they could just use the GIF of Zhao Chen knocking James down to confront them.
Instant kill! !
The scene where Zhao Chen knocked down James was remembered by fans.
Zhao Chen's goal was also constantly replayed on TV. This goal was enough to select the top five goals in the finals.
The person who was knocked down was James! ! !
...
Although the last goal was scored and James was knocked down, Zhao Chen didn't feel special when he returned to the locker room.
To Zhao Chen, it was just an ordinary three-pointer.
No points will be awarded for knocking the opponent down.
Zhao Chen's mentality is different from when he first time traveled back. He doesn't think James is a superior superstar.
Now Zhao Chen feels that James is just an opponent of the same level as him.
Being able to knock James down also shows that James' defense is focused enough on another level.
Zhao Chen is not excited, but that does not mean that others in Thunder are not excited.
Durant is great.
James was knocked down, which was a black spot that he couldn't erase.
"Zhao, your step back is really cool. I will try it in the future." Durant said.
"Yes, knocked that guy down." Westbrook also put his arms around Zhao Chen's neck.
Westbrook and James also have a good personal relationship, and they often meet up to train together in Los Angeles during the summer.
Westbrook felt that he could use this to mock James.
........
CCTV studio.
Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng are summarizing the first half of G6 in the finals.
Zhang Weiping said: "Zhao Chen played very well in the first half. He scored 35 points and 7 assists in the first half. His outstanding performance is the main reason why the Thunder can take the initiative in the away game. The Heat's defense is great, but Zhao Chen's offense Be stronger.”
Xu Jicheng said: "Both teams played with their own characteristics in the first half. The Thunder used a super offensive style, while the Heat relied heavily on James' instigation."
Zhang Weiping said: "Zhao Chen's personal skills are very comprehensive, which were fully demonstrated in the last five minutes of the first half. He has three-pointers, can pass people, can dunk, throw, and mid-range. There is no offensive method that he can't do." , Of course, we cannot deny James' excellence. No one can stop James when he rushes. The two have their own characteristics in offense."
Xu Jicheng said: "The Thunder shot 18 three-pointers in the first half and hit 11 of them. Their precise strikes from the outside caused great trouble to the Heat's defense."
Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, Zhao Chen scored 7 three-pointers, and the Heat had no way to guard him."
Although Xu Jicheng knew that Zhang Weiping was Zhao Chui, he couldn't handle such crazy bragging.
.... He simply said nothing and allowed Director Zhang to express himself freely.
Zhang Weiping didn't feel strange. He continued: "According to Zhao Chen's scoring efficiency, this game will be a minimum of 50 points."
"Zhao Chen's goal is to be the finals MVP, haha."
"Look, Zhao Chen's finals MVP is guaranteed."
"Durant's performance in the finals was not as good as Zhao Chen."
Director Zhang faced the camera as much as possible and boasted about Zhao Chen's strength.
In his opinion, Zhao Chen is now the perfect successor to Yao Ming and has become the number one sports idol in the country.
As a basketball media person, he should carry out such value transmission as a matter of course.
Director Zhang also represents the thoughts of the vast majority of basketball media professionals in the country.
Besides, bragging about Zhao Chen's traffic is indeed a lot...
In the Thunder locker room.
Leading by 12 points made everyone feel happy.
Everyone is relaxed and no one is deliberately trying to win the championship.
Although they all know that as long as they persist through the second half, the championship will belong to them.
But before the final time came, no one chose poisonous milk.
After all, they are facing the Heat's Big Three, and they have the ability to chase points.
Compared to the Thunder's relaxation, the Heat were nervous.
The entire Heat team can feel the pressure of losing this game.
However, the gap between the Heat and the Thunder is reflected.
Not everyone in the Heat is bent on reversal.
Their hearts are a little distracted.
Some veterans are already discussing taking a summer off.
Cole even said he was very tired...
Zhao Chen can't defend himself no matter what, so why should he defend himself?
So what if you win the championship?
It would be better to take a vacation early.
Before this game, many Heat players complained to the media that the playoffs were too long.
Many teams started taking vacations in April, but their vacations were reduced by two months.
James didn't come out to boost morale.
The Heat are a bunch of veterans.
Everyone is focused on their own interests, and no matter what they say, it is impossible for them to change their mentality.
Of course, James cannot deny that he is also full of exhaustion.
Playing in the finals for four years, interspersed with large-scale events such as the London Olympics.
This is also a huge physical and mental challenge for him.
Halftime passed quickly.
In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again!
Both teams are in the starting lineup.
The ball is on the Thunder's side.
Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen plays a pick-and-roll with Durant.
Zhao Chen attracted more defense.
Zhao Chen hit the ground backwards and hit Durant.
Durant drastically changed direction and dribbled the ball with a sudden stop in the mid-range! !
Gorgeous arc!
"Uh-huh!"
68 to 54! !
Zhao Chen high-fived Durant in celebration.
Zhao Chen's assists increased again, and the point difference between the two teams further widened, and the balance of victory further tilted towards the Thunder.
Fans at the American Airlines Center also continued to lose momentum.
Fans can feel that this game is getting more and more dangerous!
The championship seems to be leaving them!
