Chapter 314

At [-]:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, the entire Lakers team rushed to the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Arena, for pre-game warm-up and training as usual.

After Su Yang arranged the training content, he went into the media center and accepted pre-match interviews from various reporters as usual.

"There are a lot of well-known commentators who think this game is going to be a preview of the Finals? Do you want it to be that way?"

Su Yang chuckled when he heard the words: "Of course our goal is to reach the finals. We are also willing to face any opponent and go all out, but if the opponent is the Heat in the finals, I think there will be higher ratings. After all, Kobe Fight LeBron."

Since LeBron James won the first regular season MVP in 09, the idea of ​​the league wanting to stage LeBron VS Kobe in the finals has gradually surfaced. The ratings are absolutely explosive. After all, there are 60 billion Komi and 120 billion James. honey…

It's a pity that such a beautiful wish has never been fulfilled. On the contrary, because of blowing some side whistles, it has caused many disputes.

"What do you think of ESPN's original prediction that the Heat's probability of winning the championship was 88%, while the Lakers only had 69.5%? But as of now, you rank first in the league with 22 wins and 3 losses, and the Heat rank second in the Eastern Conference with 19 wins and 7 losses. Obviously, the Lakers are even better. good."

Su Yang shrugged slightly: "They are very good at making predictions, and we are very professional in playing games, but neither they nor us can predict trades and injuries, so those predictions are just for fun. To lock the championship in advance, you have to rely on time travel."

It is very unreliable to make predictions, but ESPN's main purpose is to increase the popularity of topic discussions. It doesn't care how accurate it is. It even wants to be ridiculed by fans because of wrong predictions and get more traffic.

"The Heat lost to the Magic in the last game. LeBron shot 33.3%, only scored 17 points, and made 3 turnovers. O'Neal thinks that LeBron is difficult to fight against a team with a super center. Do you agree with that view? "

"of course…"

Su Yang said with a smile: "Not only is it difficult for LeBron to fight against a team with a super center, it is also difficult for us to deal with a team with a super center. difficulty…"

Compared with other superstars, LeBron does perform slightly worse against super centers, mainly because LeBron's style of play requires a lot of breakthroughs to support, and super centers will greatly limit LeBron's breakthroughs, which naturally lowers his performance. its performance.

So Su Yang was still on the plane, and he had already arranged a defensive strategy for the Lakers, mainly on two points.

First, always ensure that there are big men like Gasol or Bynum in the basket to prevent the Heat from scoring easy layups.

Second, led by Artest and Kobe, continue to guarantee the pressure of LeBron and Wade to force the two giants of the Heat to make more long-range shots and reduce the number of free throws. Divide the ball.

Anyway, it only gives the Heat a lot of mid-range shots, and mid-range shots are a relatively efficient way to score, and it is easy to trigger a counterattack.

The pre-match interviews were quickly finished, and Su Yang returned to the locker room, just in time to see the relevant interviews with the Heat's players and coaches.

The questions from the reporters were not much different. They were nothing more than how they viewed the preview of the finals, how they viewed the difference in the probability of winning the championship at the beginning of the season, and the difference between the two teams' records. Finally, they asked the Heat how they planned to deal with Bynum and Gasol.

Compared with Su Yang's answers, the Heat, whether coach Spoelstra or the Big Three, all use more official terms, what needs to be defended to avoid mistakes and counterattacks, and what needs to be more resolute to avoid falling into the trap of the heart.

After the interview was broadcast, ESPN commentator Stephen Smith went on to say: "God, I am full of starting points for my speech on the Heat. They are obviously prepared to play against the Lakers, especially LeBron. This game is related to the MVP competition between him and Kobe!"

After Su Yang basically listened, he continued to discuss with the coaching staff how to deal with the local pressure that the Heat are best at.

If I had coached the Thunder before, I wouldn’t have to worry about such problems at all, because the Thunder’s three juniors could hold the ball and launch an offense, but the Lakers are different. They can only rely on Kobe for the starting lineup, which is easy to consume too much energy. Big flaw.

"I think the game where the Jazz beat the Heat is something we can learn from. Their players have poor ball-handling strength, and their shooting percentages are mediocre, but they are not afraid to shoot. Instead, they use fast and decisive shots, which makes the Heat unable to retreat in time , And then grabbed as many as 22 offensive rebounds, the Bucks and Magic also have the same routine in beating the Heat..."

After assistant coach Snyder finished speaking, assistant coach Mike Brown proposed strategies to reduce turnovers and slow down the pace to prevent the Heat from counterattacking.

Su Yang repeatedly nodded in agreement. He had thought of all those suggestions, but he just asked the teaching assistant team to think more about improving their abilities.

In a blink of an eye, at [-]:[-] pm, the Lakers' away game against the Heat officially started, and the American Airlines Arena was crowded with people.

The cheers suddenly exploded in the audience. Su Yang looked up at the big screen curiously. It was Pat Riley, the president of the Heat, and Magic Johnson, the famous Lakers. He was a little surprised.

Ludacris, the hacker who starred in "Fast and Furious", was also on the sidelines, and Rihanna, a loyal LeBron fan, deliberately wore the LeBron Heat No. 6 jersey and stared straight at LeBron who was pulling his pants , slightly excited.

Su Yang was slightly surprised, and even more surprised that the magician also appeared. Could it be that he expressed his support for the faction of Jenny Buss?
While thinking about it, the short whistle sounded, the starting players of the two teams entered the field, and the game entered the jump ball link.

The Heat's five-man team is Chalmers, Wade, LeBron, Bosh, Joel Anthony, and the Lakers' five-man team is Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum, high-five High fives, handshakes, the atmosphere is particularly friendly.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Bynum jumped up to touch the ball first, and then used his strength to push the ball towards the Lakers' half.

Kobe picked up the basketball and handed it over to Fisher. The Lakers launched their first attack, and the regular one-in-four-out formation was settled.

The UCLA FIST FLEX tactics on the right side of the frontcourt started. Kobe pretended to be ready to catch the ball from the waist and attack, but actually covered Gaso to lift the ball up and then shifted the ball to the strong and weak side. Fisher, who regained the ball, made a low pass. For Bynum on the left waist.

Bynum is 213 centimeters tall and weighs 129 kilograms. He easily holds the ball against Joel Anthony, who is 206 centimeters tall and weighs only 111 kilograms.

No way, the Lakers started to hide Bynum's intention to catch the ball, and the Heat's Joel Anthony didn't have time to go around and interfere.

Seeing that Joel couldn't hold back with two tough shots, Chalmers hurriedly double-teamed from the elbow area, and Bynum immediately scored the ball.

Fisher received the ball from the 45-degree three-point line on the left, ignored Chalmers and flew back, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer with a big heart.

The basketball slammed into the net, and the Lakers scored a three-pointer first. The magician on the sidelines applauded with a smile, as if he couldn't let go.

The two teams switched offense and defense. Chalmers dribbled the ball across the center line and passed it to Bosh at the top of the arc. The bottom corner rushes to the left 45-degree three-point line.

That tactic was too obvious, and Kobe calmly circled around the inner circle to catch up, not at all worried about Wade catching the ball and rushing to shoot a three-pointer.

The key is from the perspective of distance, even if Wade grabs the ball and rushes to make a shot, Kobe can save it in time to interfere, let alone break through.

Perhaps aware of that, Bosh suddenly turned to the right and dribbled, hand-to-hand with the oncoming LeBron.

LeBron takes the ball and breaks through the top of the arc, encounters Gasol's delay in switching defenses, and Artest bypasses the interception and hastily hit the ground for the ball.

Bosh, who was disassembled and cut in, received the ball, faced Gasol who returned to the defense in time and Bynum who shrank early, and chose a mid-range shot.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

Artest grabbed the rebound, took advantage of the momentum and led the team to launch a three-man fast break counterattack. Kobe and Fisher quickly rushed down from both sides.

LeBron retreated quickly, suddenly stopped and pressed, and Artest hurriedly distributed the ball to Kobe on the left sideline on the right side.

Gasol, who was a little slower, was in place at the same time, and directly made a trailing screen to form a rush attack. Kobe took the opportunity to throw off Wade and enter the inside lane.

LeBron hastily switched defenses and delayed, teaming up with Wade to pinch Kobe back and forth, and the three of them sprinted at high speed like three war horses.

I thought, Kobe changed his normal pass behind his back, and Artest, who followed up, took the ball and took off, and made a cowardly throw.

The basketball crashed into the net, and the American Airlines Arena suddenly resounded with sighs. What's so good about Kobe's pass?
Everyone is like watching Kobe force LeBron and Wade to attack for a layup, either they dunk the two, or they are blocked by the two.

Anyway, Kobe's pass is really ugly.

Su Yang stood up and applauded, deliberately shouting loudly: "Ron, be tougher, this ball should be a slam dunk!"

Artest responded with a smile, since he was not as ruthless as he was when he broke Jordan, he might have indeed lost his explosive power.

The two teams switched offense and defense, the Heat made a figure-of-eight conduction on the three-point line, LeBron took the ball from the right wing, and rushed to the basket with the help of a screen.

Seeing this, the Lakers gradually shrunk into the paint. Bynum blocked the frame in front, Artest followed him to limit the shot, Kobe and Fisher cut off the passing route, and Gasol also stared at LeBron. , Ready to team up with Bynum to intercept.

In the blink of an eye, LeBron was a little helpless. He suddenly lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, ignoring obstacles and rushing to the basket.

"Zi la..." The sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor sounded one after another, the basket was crowded with players, and LeBron forcibly took off.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

The Heat's bench yelled fouls, and Bynum grabbed the rebound, held it tightly in his arms, and handed it to Fisher.

The Lakers immediately launched a counterattack, and after some conduction moves, Kobe put his back on Wade on the right waist and beckoned to the right wing for the ball.

Fisher hit the ground to give the ball, and Kobe bent over to catch it. At that time, Wade suddenly went around and stretched out his right hand to press, and then pushed hard with his left hand.

Kobe suddenly lost his center of gravity, staggered and almost fell, but he grabbed the basketball and turned forward, leaving Wade aside and rushing to the basket. Facing LeBron and Joel Anthony who were shrinking from the weak side, he kicked off without fear. Hit the buckle hard.

Boom!The basketball exploded into the net.

Kobe Bryant nearly dunks Joel Anthony!

The boos in the American Airlines Arena stopped suddenly, cheered and applauded excitedly, and stood on the opposite side of the people of Miami for a while!
Su Yang stood up at the same time and shouted at the referee that Wade was fouled by pushing, but the referee threatened him to sit down with his eyes instead.

In the TNT commentary seat, Isaiah Thomas said: "At present, the Lakers are suppressing the Heat in all directions. I can't think of how the Heat can win the game. The Lakers are too relaxed on both ends of the offense and defense. There is no excitement at all. It's like eating and sleeping..."

　The work and rest have been chaotic in the past two days, and the previous update rhythm will be restored as soon as possible.
