Chapter seven hundred and twentieth IX dismemberment of the Heat
In the middle of the third quarter, both sides entered the defensive battle. The Heat didn't score a single point in three minutes, but the Nets' offense was not good. During this period, they only scored 4 points with free throws. Ji Guoqiu made 4 free throws and only expanded the gap to 9 points. ~,
The Heat team began to feel pain. They were unable to make the inside, so they could only rely on the outside to break through or shoot to score points. However, the Nets' defense line had no worries and could expand out unscrupulously.
James was double-teamed on the offensive end, passing it to Uncle Huo Er to a misplaced shooting opportunity in the penalty area. His opponent was Tony Allen, 193m. But this close-knit shot eventually missed, and Uncle Huo Er couldn't jump up at all. The only help his height advantage brought him was not to be blocked by the opponent, but it was still affected by the shooting prospect.
Ji Guoqiu and Matthews previously double-teamed James. After Uncle Huo Er took action, the two immediately ran towards the frontcourt.
Nash received the pass, and the Nets made three rounds of the game. The two inside players of the Heat didn't have time to return to defense. Chamos's speed was about the same as the old fish when he was young.
Wade and James returned to defense in time, but were teased by three Nets players with quick passes. Nash finally made an air relay, and the giant pandas flew up, and a double-handed dunk made the difference between the two teams finally become double digits.
James and Wade stood under the basket with their waists pinched, and they didn't want to talk at this moment.
This game is so difficult for both of them. The Nets double-teamed them at the same time, and they can still not miss someone and dare to believe it if they say it out?
The Nets players intend to end the suspense of the game in the third quarter. Spoelstra can now replace Bosh and bet, but the chance of losing the bet is too high, so he dare not put all the chips on.
All the Heat can rely on at this moment is Zhan Wei and the two of them to explode. Even if there is only one explosion, it is fine. As long as they survive the third quarter and do not fall behind the double-digit score difference, they will have a chance in the last quarter.
Ji Guoqiu and Valaijo played the whole quarter in the third quarter. The Brazilian is the inside with the best offensive ability in the Nets except for the Panda brother. He can contribute stable mid-range and frontcourt rebounds to the team. Secondly, Valaijo's overall performance on the defensive end is also better than Humphries and Ben Wallace.
James then made a foul and made one of two free throws. Wade made his first three-pointer in this game, and the offenses of the two giants of the Heat began to recover.
Ji Guochou once again stood up to score. Valaijo also grabbed the frontcourt rebound and played two plus one. The Heat team's efforts were still useless, and they were still behind double digits.
Mike Miller, who was injured, received a three-pointer from James' pass. The forward guard who was highly anticipated by the Heat was hit by injury after coming to Miami and was directly reimbursed in the regular season. Although he forced his comeback in the playoffs, his performance was already half as big as Jones.
Bledsoe then broke through and made a layup under Ji Guocho's cover.
The Nets identified the Heat's weak inside line. Not only did the two inside lines attack in the penalty area, but the outside players also strengthened their ball-holding breakthroughs.
Ji Guoqiu's pick-and-roll cooperation is simply a plea for the current lineup of the Heat. Whether Ji Guoqiu is playing pick-and-roll with Nash or Bledsoe, once it is disassembled, Daz and Uncle Huo will only sigh at the ball and sigh, and can't do anything.
James and Wade also performed extremely well. Both sides began to enter the offensive battle.
At the end of this quarter, the yellow combination of Giant Pandas and Jeremy Lin showed their strength again, and joined forces to score a 9:4 offense, successfully expanding the lead to as many as 14 points.
Wade made his last shot, but the Heat still trailed the Nets 80:92.
Ji Guochou scored 13 points in the third quarter, and his personal data rose to 36 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals. The Panda only took three quarters to score a large triple-double data, and defeated the Heat by one alone.
James scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Wade scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Bosh scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
The performance of the three giants of the Hot Team is not bad. The only thing that blames Ji Guoqiu for his performance is too outrageous.
Spoelstra felt that there were other reasons for the lag in the score. The Nets' role players performed far better than their own, especially Jeremy Lin, who scored 9 points in the third quarter. This guy only played for 12 minutes. The Hot Team allowed such a player to perform like this. He was not defeated so badly, and it seemed unreasonable.
The Nets often play the double point guard tactics today, and then use Matthews to defend James. The backcourt is all small. But the Heat team just can't take advantage of their height, but instead the Nets play their speed advantage to the fullest.
Paul George and Korver didn't get much playing time today, and the Zen master's arrangement was unexpected in advance. Spoelstra could not think of a good idea for a while when facing the Nets' small backcourt.
In the fourth quarter, the Nets sent out a rotation lineup: Nash, Korver, Paul George, Humphries, and Ben Wallace.
The Heat team sent out: Wade, Mike Miller, James Jones, Bosh, and Big Z's semi-main lineup.
Spoelstra hopes to use this semi-main lineup to narrow the score difference, and Zen master also replaces Nash to maintain the team's attack power.
Korver made a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, and Ben Wallace defeated Wade's layup on the defensive end.
The Nets, the best defensive player of the four-time season, contributed his abilities at critical moments. This blocking caused the morale of the Heat team to plummet. It seemed that the old guys on the opposite side were also better than the old guys on their side, and there was one more reason to lose.
Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, as Nash used Ben Wallace to hit a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll, the Nets had already led the Heat by 16 points.
The Mainland Airlines Arena has already shouted the slogan of "mvpmvp". I don't know if they are cheering Nash or Ji Guoqiu?
Nash is often separated by Zen Master and Ji Guoqiu in this game. Phil Jackson defends the three giants using the time difference to chase points. It seems that the effect is good at present.
If Nash wants to score, it will be difficult to defend. The Canadians are silent and have scored 17 points and 7 assists today. The most important thing is that Nash's playing time is not higher than the regular season. He only played 22 minutes today and is very efficient.
The Zen master is worried about Nash's defense issues and dare not use them too much in the playoffs. His playing time is similar to that of the regular season, which is also the reason why he has Bledsoe and Jeremy Lin.
The Heat team had no choice but to call a timeout, replaced James again, and prepared to make a last try.
The Zen master also replaced Ji Guochou again, and the inside partner was Ben Wallace.
Spoelstra was so disgusting that he had just replaced Uncle Huo with Haslem. But judging from his height, Haslem doesn't necessarily have Ben. Wallace Gao. Even though Big Ben is old, Haslem is not young. As expected, he was eaten by the 4th best defensive player at the beginning.
"It's really not that I'm not good at it. There's really no one to use it!" The Filipino was comforting himself. He only had a few inside players he could use, what else could he do.
Spoelstra didn't think about it. He held the Big Three in his hand, and James was another superstar who could play in five positions. Why didn't he move to the fourth position?
Originally, in time and space, the Big Three began to play with James in the second year, which greatly made up for the weakness of the inside line. But now, they have not tried such a way of playing. In fact, Black Bread tried this tactic with the Cavaliers three years ago, and the effect was pretty good. But later Brand went to the Cavaliers, and James did not continue to serve as power forward.
Basketball is a sport of five people, and this sentence is true, but with three giants in one team, it can actually make this sentence invalid to the greatest extent. If it cannot be done, it only means that the team's coach is not yet in a good mood.
The Filipinos have too little coaching experience, and there is a magician behind them who ruled the country from behind. He couldn't control the three giants. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. It was difficult to sit in his position.
After the Nets suspended, the defense was strengthened, and the score advantage was already big enough. Now defending the opponent was victory. The five players replaced by Zen master are also a lineup that tends to be defensive: Bledsoe, Tony Allen, Matthews, Ji Guoqiu, Ben Wallace.
Big. This clock's experience came in handy at this time. After the Heat team was suspended, they failed to score five consecutive attacks. The score not only did not narrow. Instead, they were hit by the Nets twice and the score difference widened to 20 points.
The Continental Aviation Center is already a sea of joy, and the Heat team will not be able to move back to a huge 20-point gap in this situation.
The fourth quarter ended at 6 minutes and 08 seconds. The score was still 108:88. All the main players of the Nets returned to the court, and the Hots had no chance.
The final score was 119:102. The Heat team began to collapse at the end of the third quarter. The Nets took advantage of the situation to pursue and successfully defended their first home court.
Ji Guochou scored 44 points, 19 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals in this game. He won his third triple-double in the playoffs this year. Nash contributed 20 points and 9 assists, Valaijo scored 22 points and 10 rebounds, Bledsoe scored 10 points and 2 assists, and Jeremy Lin scored 11 points and 3 assists.
James scored 30 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, Wade scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and Bosh scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
In the first game of the Nets' semi-finals, the Heat allowed Bosh to guard against Ji Guoqiu, but the former became a tragic man. After scoring a few points in the fourth quarter, he was killed and injured by Panda brother again. In the end, six fouls were sent out.
Ji Guoqiu looked at Bosh as if nothing was missing in the game. The realistic and fake shaking at the low post made the Dragon King unable to defend. The ball-holding breakthrough at the high post also made Bosh helpless. The match between the two can almost be said to be a complete blowout.
After the game, Bosh was forced by a New York reporter to ask if he could defend Panda Brother? As a result, the third giant left the court angrily.
Ji Guoqiu gave Bosh enough face. After the game, he said: Bosh's downturn may be related to the tactical arrangements of both sides. Today, both teams adopted sports wars, and pick-and-roll breakthroughs and defense replacements were very frequent, so many of his scores were not obtained on Bosh.
The good guys let the giant pandas do it, and the New York Times naturally want to be bad guys. They also think that they are not satisfied with winning the game. Columnist Da Sabi wrote an article the next day to comment on the relationship between the three giants of the Hot Team.
In his opinion, although the two superstars performed well in the game yesterday, the relationship between the two had already undergone subtle changes, especially when James missed key shots. In yesterday's game, Wade's performance of 11 points in the final quarter may have been a silent protest against James.
Since the Heat's "Big Three" was formed, many people have been worried about the problem of these three players living together. After all, they were all leaders of the teams in their respective teams. After the Heat, the number of attacks between the three players will undoubtedly be restrained and reduced. However, after the running-in at the beginning of the season, there seems to be no problem with the cooperation between the three.
However, the game that the Heat just lost is their fourth defeat to the Nets this season. The question of whether the three can coexist again, especially the relationship between James and Wade, the two superstars, seems a bit subtle.
As early as after losing to the Nets in the fourth game of the regular season, James and Wade were both disappointed. That time, at the last moment of the game against the Nets, James was blocked for a layup, and Wade grabbed the rebound and missed the shot, and the Heat lost with two points. It was after that, Wade talked about the issue of the distribution of the last-minute shooting rights.
“I used to play with the ball in the fourth quarter of the game and make my own contribution to the team,” Wade admitted. “You have to try to do the best, that’s what you need to do. When we first decided to be together, we already knew that we wanted to make sacrifices for such a situation. This is the consensus that you have to take all the responsibilities for it.”
From Wade's words, it may be seen that he is a little dissatisfied with James's key shot at the last moment. After Wade made these statements, James also joked about this issue with Wade.
"Did we have any conflict after that game?" James asked.
"Oh, oh." Wade was obviously not ready to discuss this in person.
From the current point of view, it is very difficult for any team to have two superstars like Wade and James in the team. This is different from the situation when O'Neal came to the Heat. After all, O'Neal had already passed his peak period when he came to the Heat, and James is currently at the peak of his career, so the problem of coexistence with Wade is not easy to solve.
"Previously, many people said 'James and the Heat' when they talked about the Heat. Now I hope everyone can say, 'James, Wade and the Heat'. I don't mean to replace his name with my name." Wade made similar remarks more than once, and he still made some slight remarks about his decline in his position, especially when the team cannot win.
There has not been any real unpleasant incidents in the two giants yet, but if they continue to lose in the playoffs, such as falling behind 0:2, it is likely to become a catalyst to accelerate the conflict between the two, and ultimately become a fatal blow to defeat the Heat!
