On the other side of the ocean, China Channel is broadcasting this game, and the commentary team is Director Zhang and Director Ma.
"It's hard to imagine that the Trail Blazers are only 6 points behind the Heat." Director Ma said with emotion.
Before the game, no one was optimistic about the Trail Blazers. Most people even thought that this game should be a naked massacre.
Unexpectedly, the Trail Blazers were so tenacious!
Zhang Weiping said: "The main reason is that both sides have difficult points to limit. On the defending champion Heat's side, LeBron and Wade are difficult to limit; on the Trail Blazers' side, Wang is difficult to limit. This game can be said to be a star player. battle between.”
"Wang Zelin? Is his role that big?" Director Ma sneered at this.
"After the first quarter, Xiao Wang's scoring efficiency was terrible. He made 4 of 5 shots and scored 8 points with a shooting rate of 80%. He also sent 2 assists. Judging from these data, the Blazers' first quarter Nearly half of all the points scored were related to Xiao Wang."
"It's hard to imagine that a rookie can perform so well in front of the defending champion. Over time, Xiao Wang is likely to snatch Howard's number one spot in the league."
An unexpected problem arose for Director Zhang.
"The number one center! Who is recognized?" Coach Ma asked again.
"My dear..." Director Zhang was speechless for a moment.
On the message board of Hunting Fox, netizens were going crazy laughing.
It's rare to see Director Zhang, who has always been eloquent, being reviled until he was speechless.
See you soon!
…
At this time, the TNT live broadcast room in the United States.
"This is a battle between stars. As long as the two teams strangle their opponents' offensive arrows, victory is not far away." Kenny Smith said.
"That's true," Barkley said. "Of course it's difficult for both teams to do such a thing."
"Then it needs to be more durable and tenacious."
"I'm good at longevity."
Buckley chuckled.
"..."
In the second quarter of the game, both sides rotated their lineups first.
Facing Junzi Lei, who had a rating of 70+, the Trail Blazers were unable to resist from the outside, and the point difference was widened to 11 points after only three minutes of play.
40:29!
Otherwise, coach Terry can only let the starting players debut early.
After the personnel adjustment this time, James was replaced and rested. Under the leadership of Wang Zelin and Lillard, the Trail Blazers quickly recovered the score with 2 minutes left before the end of the first half.
Enter Janeway!
At this time, the score between the two teams was 47:45, and the Trail Blazers took the lead by two points.
However, all members of the Trail Blazers, including Wang Zelin, had ugly faces and could not smile at all. They were not at all Enron as the leading team.
The Heat attacked and started a fast break under the leadership of James. Wade succeeded in a layup after receiving a pass.
At 47:47, the score difference was instantly wiped out.
Damn it!
LeBron and Dwyane's tacit understanding is too high. Why can they get along so harmoniously even though they are both ball handlers who are good at breakthroughs?
why is that?
Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts had despair written all over his face.
Batum, the team's perimeter defensive leader, was completely beaten by the opponent's No. 6 in this game.
Once James rushes forward, he looks like a black locomotive. With his strong physical fitness, he can easily overcome all obstacles on the breakthrough route.
What's even more embarrassing is that James' outside shooting this season is quite stable.
Many teams have used painful lessons one after another to tell everyone that they can no longer allow James to shoot from the outside like before.
As of the last two minutes before the end of the first half, James had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists; so far in the second quarter, he had 4 points and 1 rebound, and he had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists near halftime.
For a full audience, it would be around 25+5+5.
Stable data, very James!
For the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, the highest score in the game.
He is the team's strongest point against the Heat in this game, so they naturally have to strengthen their offense.
James looked at Wang Zelin's 7-for-9 shooting percentage and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
Are all young people today so good?
The Clippers boy in the past two years averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game for the only time in the past ten years. Now, the Chinese boy in front of him can only achieve this achievement.
As expected of my brother!
The more James looked at Wang Zelin, the happier he felt... and even began to look forward to the future cooperation between the two.
…
The first half is over.
Wang Zelin looked at the James and his wife who were talking and laughing as they returned to the bench, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart.
That’s right, it’s a feeling of powerlessness!
He was already trying his best to score in this game, with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists at halftime, while Bosh, who was opposite him, only got 2 points and 1 rebound.
But even so, he could only maintain the point difference between the two teams without widening it.
55:51!
In the last two minutes, James and Wade scored points to help the team achieve the lead in one fell swoop.
Facing the Trail Blazers' outside players, James played very easily. He easily scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. While becoming the team's scoring leader, he also achieved more success in defense and organization.
In the Trail Blazers locker room.
"Wang, you take a rest in the second half. LaMarcus, you have to increase the number of shots and try to help the team stabilize the score before Wang comes back." Coach Terry said.
"I get it," Aldridge replied.
After it became clear that the Heat's No. 23 line could not be defended, Coach Terry decided before the game on a star-to-star strategy.
The person who was used as the vanguard was Wang Zelin.
According to Coach Terry's request, Wang Zelin must be intimidating before the end of the first half, and even have to break the Heat's inside spirit in one game.
Next, Aldridge will take up the offensive banner and use offense to increase the hope of winning the game.
However, the defending champion deserves to be the defending champion. James is too strong. Although the Trail Blazers have played to the level they deserve, they are still lagging behind.
Coach Terry continued: "Mike, Will, except for James and Ray Allen, the Heat are not feeling very good today. In the second half, we need to narrow the defensive line and don't let Wade easily complete the breakthrough."
"clear!"
"OK!"
Will Barton and Mike Roberts kept replying.
"Damien, you're on the court, shoot more three-pointers when you have the chance, so that the Heat don't dare to double-team LaMarcus easily."
learn. "
…
At the beginning of the third quarter, with James' various breakthrough points, the Heat set off an offensive climax. Mike Miller hit two consecutive three-pointers from the bottom corner, widening the point difference to 61:53.
Seeing that something was not going well, Coach Terry immediately called a timeout.
"The defensive strategy changed, switching back to 1-on-1 marking, and LaMarcus and Mike paid attention to assisting in defense." Coach Terry said.
"Okay!" Aldridge nodded.
After arranging the defense, Coach Terry turned to Batum and said:
"Nicholas, you come on, Will come down."
Once the switch back to man-to-man defense, James will definitely continue to strengthen breakthroughs. Although Batum's defensive efficiency in this game is extremely poor, he is still the best defender among the Trail Blazers' internal and external players.
"Um!"
Batum replied sadly.
In order to limit James, Batum focused entirely on defense in this game. On the offensive end, he only took 3 shots, hit 1 and scored 2 points.
The result...
In addition to the back pain, he also suffered three fouls.
Wang Zelin can currently be regarded as a first-class interior defender, but even if he is added, it will be difficult to limit James' performance.
James, who can pass, can pass, and is effective in shooting training...who can withstand this?
