Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 324 A Little Surprise
After the whole team experienced extra training on outside three-pointers, the Cavaliers showed a very ferocious outside three-point shooting rate at the beginning of the game.

古登三分球2中2，马绍尔5中3中，达蒙琼斯也在外线扔进了2记三分！
"The Cavaliers' outside touch in this game is really good, the team hit 10 three-pointers in a single quarter!
They scored a full 30 points on three-pointers alone! "

As the Cavaliers played a one-star lineup in the playoffs and their power gradually emerged, Kenny Smith also had the idea that three-pointers are really important in his heart for the first time.

Before the emergence of the Cavaliers' one-star lineup, all the coaches in the league, even D'Antoni, who likes to bombard the most, only regarded three-pointers as a threat tactic.

Their ultimate goal is to hit the ball into the basket.

Including Spurs head coach Popovich and Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, in their teams, the task of the three-point shooter is to open up space so that the team can easily score the ball under the basket, And hitting those open threes.

But the Cavaliers are different. The purpose of their one-star four-shot tactic is to score three points!
The role of James on the court is to attract double-teams and make outside three-pointers more accurate!

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Heat by 40 points with a terrifying 30:10.

Off the field, Pat Riley frowned.

Judging from the results of these few games, it seems that as long as the Cavaliers' three-pointer opens the situation, the Heat's end will be uncomfortable.

This is extremely intolerable to him who is known as a fortune teller.

Because this also means that the initiative is completely in the hands of the Cavaliers, and winning or losing is entirely in the hands of the Cavaliers' outside players.

The key is that the Cavaliers' touch is not bad most of the time, which makes Pat Riley very embarrassed.

In the second quarter, Zhao Hao suddenly felt hot, breaking through Wade in a row and scoring three.

This made Wade, who was still only a small cheek, very upset, and also wanted to retaliate.

However, Zhao Hao's defense against Wade was two meters away!
The reason why Zhao Hao dares to do this is naturally because Wade's average three-point shooting rate this season is only a pitiful 17%.

Even if Wade's touch is also explosive tonight, it doesn't matter if he makes a few three-pointers.

Compared with Wade's excellent breakthrough ability and foul-making ability, this choice is also extremely beneficial.

Faced with such a defense, Wade wanted to close himself.

He first tried to shoot a three-pointer. After hitting the iron without any accident, he could only bite the bullet and continue to break through to the basket.

It's just that under such a defensive strategy, the breakthrough efficiency is not that high compared to Wade's previous level, and it is extremely easy to be caused by offensive fouls.

At the end of the second quarter, the Heat's loss continued to expand.

Pat Riley also has a premonition that this game may be lost!
But he still encouraged the players to keep going.

The old O'Neal then killed the Quartet again in the third quarter, turning the Cavaliers' inside line upside down.

But at the same time, the Cavaliers' outside three-pointers are equally powerful, and they frequently shoot in response.

This result also suddenly made O'Neill feel that two-pointers are not as important as three-pointers.

He played really too aggrieved!
By the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers still maintained a lead of more than 10 points.

In the end, even though Wade once again set off a high offensive trough, he unfortunately failed to win the game.

Because the Cavaliers' Wang Bo combination also played their Zhan Hao connection during this time period.

The game is over.

The Cavaliers won again with 113:103.

The big score is 2:1!
It is difficult for Pat Riley to accept such a result.

Because the Heat are the biggest favorites to win the championship besides the Spurs this season!

As a result, they lost to the little-known Cavaliers with such a disadvantage?

Even if the Cavaliers achieved the league's first record this season and James won the regular season MVP, Pat Riley still looks down on this team that has no championship genes and background at all.

He even dared to assert that the Cavaliers don't even have a player with deep playoff experience, so what can they do!

"No, a change must be made!
If the Cavaliers still feel so good in the next game, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Heat.

And at that time, with a big disadvantage of 1:3, it may be harder than going to heaven to make a comeback! "

Thinking of this, Pat Riley also decisively wanted to cut the mess quickly.

After finishing the press conference, he went straight into the tactical analysis room and pulled out all the videos of the Cavaliers' playoffs this season.

At the same time, O'Neal, who has felt powerless on the defensive end for three consecutive games, also deliberately planned to have a good chat with Pat Riley.

This year, O'Neill is 35 years old!

It was also the last tail of the body that O'Neill could feel.

For a big inside center, it is really not easy to still gallop on the basketball court at this age, and even compete for the championship as the core of the team.

So this season O'Neal once again entered the league with excellent statistics and court dominance, but what about next year?

He will be 36 next year.

Thinking of this, O'Neill couldn't help shaking his head.

Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, and Garnett behind him are all trying to catch up with him. Next year, he wants to make another round or have such dominance again, even he himself is not sure. believe.

And he also has a very clear understanding of his body, this year is his last year of dominance!
Thinking of the scene when he was abandoned by the Lakers and the bold ambitions when he was traded to the Heat, O'Neal took a deep breath, and then walked into the analysis room with burning eyes.

On May 5th, Game 30 of the Eastern Conference Finals!
At the beginning of the game, the situation on the field remained the same as before.

The Cavaliers once again played their due performance from the outside in this game, shooting 10 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, which perfectly opened the curtain of the game.

The Heat's defensive strategy on the field is still to make the Cavaliers' outside shooters uncomfortable as much as possible, but at the same time their defensive focus is still on the inner frame.

"There is no way to do this kind of defensive strategy. After all, shooting three-pointers from the outside always feels bad, but no one can do anything to let James go inside!"

Kenny Smith also has a premonition that the Cavaliers may win this game with a high probability.

Because the Cavaliers made another three-pointer!
At this time, he also took a look at the scores of the two teams, but the result surprised him a little.

The Heat even played a 20:20 tie with the Cavaliers, and neither team was ahead of the other!
"The game has just started, and the slight advantage is difficult to reflect in the score.

However, if the Cavaliers can continue to maintain this level of three-point shooting in the following games, then the Heat will undoubtedly lose! "

Groom Albert explained.

Kenny Smith then nodded in agreement.

As long as the Cavaliers' perimeter can still maintain this level, the Heat really have no chance of winning.

But after the end of the first quarter, the two looked at the score tacitly, and it was still a tie at 32:32!
This surprised the two of them.

After all, the playing styles of the two teams have not changed in the slightest from the previous game strategies and methods. Why did the Cavaliers maintain the lead under the same circumstances before, but now they are only on par with the Heat?
You know, the Cavaliers shot three-pointers well throughout the quarter!
And as the second quarter began quickly, the two finally discovered the source of the problem.

That is O'Neill!

"Shaquille O'Neal didn't rest in the second quarter!

He is still on the court, can his body handle it? "

Kenny Smith exclaimed for a while.

He really couldn't believe that with O'Neal's body and this age, especially now that it's still the stage of the playoffs, O'Neal can still stand up under such a defensive intensity!
And in the first quarter, he forced almost every ball to the basket, which made him barely keep up with the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm.

"In the entire playoffs this season, O'Neal averaged only 32 minutes per game, and he almost had to rest for a quarter and a half.

But there is no way, he is too old, he is no longer the big shark he was when he was young.

At that time, he averaged 38 minutes or even 40 minutes per game! "

With the appearance of such a picture, the Miami fans in the audience couldn't help standing up and applauding the Sharks, and even started shouting MVP early.

O'Neal is also more excited to make various inside hammer strikes on the court.

At this time, the inside all-star big center Big Z sent by the Cavaliers really couldn't limit O'Neal's scoring at all.

This is still O'Neal who has been on the stage for a long time!

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hao couldn't help shaking his head. Even the old sharks of this period are so powerful. He really can't imagine how terrifying the young O'Neill is.

"It's no wonder that he can be called the only one in history who defeated Jordan.

O'Neal, one of the top three centers in history, is definitely not in vain. "
