NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 499 It's Hot!Go crazy!
After this attack, seeing the morale of the Trail Blazers getting higher and higher, the Heat did not hesitate. Spoelstra called a timeout and replaced Wade on the court in advance.

The Heat decided to fight, this is the most critical game, if they lose, there is only a chance to comeback in theory, but the distance between theory and reality... I understand it.

Therefore, all the Big Three of the Heat continue to play, just to fight Wang Zelin to the end.

If you can't survive the first half, then you probably won't have a chance.

I have to admit that some people are born for big occasions. The bigger the occasion, the more thoroughly the potential in their bodies can be stimulated.

After one quarter, the two teams continued to play inextricably, and the equestrian skills really survived, which also left suspense for this game.

Wade and Ray Allen's touch suddenly came up. They hit the perimeter one after another and scored 19 points in a single quarter. James also hit a three-pointer. The Heat scored 1 points in a single quarter and successfully overtook the score.

At halftime, at 58:55, the Heat led by 3 points.

Back in the locker room, the faces of the five Blazers were all flushed, and they took a few deep breaths to adjust their breathing rate.

What a hell of a day!
Miami is the warmest city in the United States in winter, with an average temperature of 1°C in January and 19.5°C in July. Now it is June, and even the hottest time of the year in Miami.

But logically speaking, no matter how hot Miami is, it is impossible to reach this level.

Sure enough, not long after entering the intermission, head coach Terry Stotts heard an unfortunate news from the staff.

"Boys, it's a big deal."

When Terry Stotts returned to the away locker room, Wang Zelin saw that Terry Stotts had taken off his tie, and his suit jacket was thrown away, and the back of his upper shirt was soaked.

"There is bad news. The air-conditioning system in the American Airlines arena has broken down and is currently being repaired. But we don't know how long it will take. Therefore, in the second half, we must continue to fight at a high temperature close to 40 degrees!"

What the hell!

The moment he heard the news, several hot words suddenly flashed in Wang Zelin's mind: the first game of the 2014 Finals, the Spurs home air conditioner broke down, and the famous James' thigh cramps incident.

Although this game is G3 of the finals, the history is always surprisingly similar.

what is this?
A strong revision of history?

Of course, there must be no conspiracy theories. This kind of emergency is uncontrollable. It is equal to the two teams, because the members of both teams are in the same environment, and everyone usually trains in a constant temperature environment.

Of course, if you insist, the Blazers may be the dominant side.Because their bench lineup is obviously stronger than that of the Heat, even the rookie Adams has played time in garbage time since the finals.

In this case, the Blazers naturally have relatively little influence.

It's just that the Heat's bench lineup is not reliable. The Big Three plus a gentleman, especially James, need to work hard on both ends of the offense and defense. Otherwise, no one will wipe the ass of the Heat's relatively weak defense. The consumption is not ordinary!

Therefore, a broken air conditioner should have a greater impact on the Heat.

No, look at the other side.

James, who still maintained high-intensity training before the finals, en... I guess he was about to cry.

Outside the locker room.

In the TNT commentary booth, O'Neill and Webb had already taken off their jackets, and even unbuttoned a few collars, but even so, the temperature at the scene was still unbearably high.

In contrast, Wei Ping Bryant and Yang Jian, the duo of Chaotingtai, were hindered by the image of Chaotingtai reporters, even though the sweat on their backs had completely soaked their clothes, they still struggled to maintain their smiles.

The camera hit the stands, and thousands of fans became greasy.Some male fans simply took off their T-shirts and shouted from the stands shirtless.

"Shit, why did this happen?"

Mourning began to complain while drinking the same oral liquid from Ao Pang.

Less than 2 minutes after the intermission, they learned that there was a problem with the air conditioning system in the American Airlines Arena.But the game must not be interrupted due to time. Once the battle between the Trail Blazers and the Heat is interrupted, the impact will be great.

Therefore, everyone can only endure the brutal high temperature and continue to watch the game.

Had he known this, Mourning would not have come to be the special guest today, and naturally he would not have encountered such a bad luck.

The only good thing is that the Heat are leading now, and he may be able to see the Heat's first victory tonight.

June is hot and the sun is in the sky.

Losing air conditioning in an indoor arena with a capacity of nearly 2 people, what is the difference between this steamer hell on the fifth floor of the eighteen hells?
Really suffer!

In the VIP auditorium, many female stars' faces paled. They were all sitting in such an environment, and they all felt that they could not hold on any longer.

I really can't imagine that after the two-step players return to the field, they will continue to carry out fierce physical confrontation.

At this time, James, who was sitting in the home locker room, rested for more than ten minutes, still sweating uncontrollably, and the water replenished by his body could not even keep up with the speed of passage.

There was a problem with the air-conditioning system of the entire stadium. Everyone had received an official notice at this time, and their expressions immediately became extremely ugly.

Continuing to fight at a high temperature of 40°C, everyone can already foresee how hard it will be in the next halftime.

High temperature + high-intensity competition, which will aggravate the physical exhaustion of players on the field.

Students who have studied sports know that when athletes still choose to fight despite their physical exhaustion, the risk of injury will be far greater than normal.

Therefore, coach Spoelstra decided to strengthen the three-point shooting in the second half. First, the Heat players generally had a good outside touch in the second quarter. Secondly, since the shooting was increased, physical confrontation was naturally reduced, and the risk of injury would also decrease.

Therefore, out of comprehensive considerations, it is necessary to increase the proportion of shots in the offense in the second half.

James has no objection to this. Although James is still a "rough guy" who has not changed for thousands of years in the hearts of the sunspots, and he has no skill in playing, it is undeniable that James has improved his skills every year since he entered the league.

Especially during the four years James was in college with the Heat, except for the freshman period of the 10-1 season during the regular season, his three-point shooting percentage was only 33.%, which was not much different from the Cavaliers 1.0 period.

But in the next three years from his sophomore to his senior year, James, who has experienced painful lessons, continued to study and practice his personal skills during the offseason, and achieved a qualitative breakthrough in his three-point shooting.

In the second year, the three-point shooting percentage exceeded 36.2%, reaching 40.6%. In the third year, the shooting percentage reached [-]%. This is already the field of the league's top three-pointers.

This year, in the 2013~2014 regular season, James hit three-pointers, but he still shot 37.9% of his identity, still a high-quality shooter.

Of course, the reason why James agreed, there is another consideration.That is, if the teammate shoots open, it can also open up enough space for the fuck.

At that time, I can really show my strengths.

As for Wang Zelin?
After all, Wang Zelin is a human being, not a real beast. Even a human being will be restrained by the high temperature.

James thought to himself: Wang Zelin will definitely not be able to fight as hard as before in the second half.

Unless the guy is only going to play three quarters, he's going to have to stay fit for the fourth quarter.

Destiny is on me!

James suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that "heaven will send a great responsibility to man".

What about the high temperature of 40°C?
Back then, Michael was able to defeat the flu and achieved a classic battle.

He can also beat the heat, wait for the victory to stay in Miami, and use this to sound the clarion call to counter Portland.

God, all this is your arrangement, right!

The second half started soon. When players from both sides entered the field, it felt like a steamer.What's worse, with nearly 2 people exhaling and breathing, the heat generated was like adding fuel to the fire, and all of them gathered on the ten players on the field.

heat!
So hot!

too hot!
It's fucking hot!
Now, facing the players as if they are in a huge oven, it is hopeless that they have no way out. The only choice is to eliminate the opponent in this harsh environment, so as to end the pain.

"Fight!"

With no way to retreat, Wang Zelin got up and called his teammates over, and roared to the sky.

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

All the Blazers shouted in unison.

"It's too difficult! The two teams played extremely fiercely in the first half, and the Blazers are only 3 points behind their opponents now. But now, the situation is completely different. In such a hot and cruel environment, it is more about the torture of players' will. The next battle is resilience. Whoever can last longer will be the big winner of this game!"

Yang Jian had already secretly unbuttoned his suit, and said in shock.

To be honest, as an on-site commentator who is famous for commenting on track and field competitions, he has experienced no matter how difficult the summer is.

But it was in the open air!

Under the same high temperature, the feeling brought to people in the open air and indoors is completely different.

For example, playing in the scorching sun on an open-air court seems to be a harsher environment than it is now, but in fact, it is more just pure heat.

And in the indoor court, it is not only hot, but also stuffy!

What's more, the intensity of confrontation in the open-air court will never be comparable to that of the NBA. Moreover, it is still the finals, and the degree of confrontation is far better than that of ordinary regular games.

An unprecedented challenge!
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and the Heat went first.

The Heat players faithfully implemented Coach Spoelstra's tactics and began to seek opportunities from beyond the three-point line.

In front of the Trail Blazers, it is unrealistic to find opportunities through simple off-ball running.And this requires James and Wade to go inside to create damage.

Therefore, James planned to break through Batum as soon as he came up in the second half.

At this time, the defensive strength displayed by Batum is not much different from that in the first half. The difference is that the physical energy that needs to be consumed on the defensive end every time will exceed that in the first half.

James is also aware of this, so he is not in a hurry, because he firmly believes that the physical talent and physical extreme stress resistance of people cannot be the same.As time goes by, Batum's intensity will definitely not go down.

And he, LeBron James, is recognized as the chosen one!
"Oh!"

Forcibly knocking Batum away, after James attracted the defense, he distributed the ball to Lewis who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

After the Heat changed in the first half, Lewis' playing time dropped significantly compared to the previous games. He only played 6 minutes and scored no points.

But now, Lewis, the "anti-aircraft gun", did not live up to James' expectations. He made a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner, helping the Heat to expand the point difference to 6 points!
"Brother, I knew it, you can do it!"

After receiving the ball, James smiled and bumped fists with Lewis when he returned to defense.

On the sidelines, Coach Spoelstra smiled. Sure enough, in Miami, the game entered the rhythm of the Heat as expected!
"Oh, it's such a pity to lose this hand. It actually made Lewis appear so great... But that's right, who would let James stand opposite him!"

Zhang Lili talked and answered himself, which made the fans in the stands immediately happy.

This little old man is quite interesting.

On the field.

Trail Blazers attack.

Just looking at Wang Zelin, Lillard already knew the answer.

Clap~swish——!
Under Wang Zelin's high-quality cover, Lillard, who got rid of Wade, took two steps to the left wing of the three-point line, and then fired from a long distance to score a three-pointer for the Blazers.

Typical response ball between strong teams!
It doesn't matter if you advanced one, turn around, and I will reward you in the same way.

On such a high-standard grand stage in the finals, it is very difficult to have a matchup with a real gap in strength like the later generations like Qiyong Battle.

In many cases, everyone is a team of the same grade and level. If you want to compare, you can only outlast anyone.

"It's interesting!"

On the court, watching the two Blazers who fountained each other to celebrate and encourage each other when they retreated...

James felt that the Trail Blazers No. 0 kid was really good, but because the team's No. 36 light was too dazzling and too eye-catching, he didn't receive so much attention.

Apparently, Zhan, the scumbag, was once again tempted by Director Li who is good at singing, dancing, rap, and basketball...

Of course, James also understands: If you want to recognize your brother, you must first train your muscles.

On this night, the first thing he has to do is to beat the Blazers, brother basketball, we will talk about it later.

Afterwards, the Heat attacked again, and Wade lost his way back to the rivers and lakes. After attracting the defense, he scored the ball to the outside. Jun Zilei scored the Heat's second three-pointer in the second half.

64:58, 6 points away.

"My fault, I didn't pay attention to Ray Allen's running position just now." Matthews raised his hand and apologized to his teammates.

Obviously missing a three-pointer is more heartbreaking than a two-pointer.What's more, the defensive object he is responsible for happens to belong to Ray Allen, who is famous for three-pointers.

"It's okay, don't panic, keep defending, they can't score every goal."

As the leader of the team, Wang Zelin knew that he should not be the first to mess up.

Even if you are MMP in your heart, you must maintain a confident appearance on the surface.

the other end.

Lewis and Ray Allen's successive hits made James overjoyed. It seems that the Blazers consumed more than the Heat, otherwise the opposite side would not miss people one after another.

So let's make the game even crazier.

The second half is the end of the Trail Blazers!
