Chapter 365
Seven p.m., Staples Center.

As the announcer shouted 'Kobe' loudly, the cheers in the entire arena reached a new peak. The more than 9000 fans who were uniformly wearing yellow support T-shirts stood up and applauded, and Su Yang's name followed closely. out of the announcer's mouth.

Su Yang raised his head upon hearing the sound, and naturally looked at the live broadcast camera, and his relaxed and calm appearance was simultaneously reflected on the large central screen.

"King of Forecast!"

Some fans suddenly shouted loudly, followed by fans booing, and soon most of the arena shouted his new nickname in unison.

Su Yang responded with a smile and waved his hands. Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting in the commentary seat, smiled and said, "He's a big star now!"

"If you can accurately predict the trend of the series, including the specific performance of the players, you can also enjoy that kind of treatment." The guest Mark Jackson laughed, "That is a kind of performance similar to a god, and a consortium has already invited him to serve as a consultant for the presidential campaign. "

Brin chuckled: "I guess if he predicts who will become president, it should help that person win a lot of votes."

On the field, Su Yang took the time to accept the photo request from 'Thanos' performer Josh Brolin before the game started.

'Mom' Christina, director Spielberg, famous star Jerry West and others also watched the game from VIP seats on the sidelines, and ESPN specially made statistics, including stars sitting in ordinary auditoriums, a total of 50 people, large and small.

Part of it is true fans like Snoop Dogg, and part of it is hype. After all, 23V24 traffic explodes.

The long whistle sounded in a blink of an eye, and the ten starting players of the two teams entered the field one after another, and the central large screen gave an explanation of the matchup relationship.

Curry at point guard against Chalmers, Kobe at shooting guard against Wade, small forward Artest against LeBron, power forward Mike Roberts against Bosh, center Gasol against Hasler Mu, head coach Su Yang is facing Spoelstra.

There were cheers in the arena, and the referee Scott walked to the middle circle with the ball, gestured left and right to calibrate the position, and then raised his hand and lightly tossed it.

Snapped!Gasol jumped up, relying on his height and wingspan advantage, grabbed the ball before Bosh, and moved back smoothly and vigorously.

The basketball flew straight to the Lakers at halftime, and the audience chanted "Go Lakers" in unison, and Curry slowly pushed forward with the ball.

According to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, the opening horn formation started. Gasol raised the 45-degree three-point line from the right elbow to cover the wall. Curry took the opportunity to accelerate to get rid of Chalmers and tried to break through the right. On the Heat side, Haslem decisively double-teamed.

Seeing that situation, Su Yang knew that the Heat hadn't adjusted their defensive strategy, and those bright cards before the start of the series started to bear fruit.

Curry, who was double-teamed, turned to pass the ball to Gasol who had already disassembled and ran to the top of the arc. Artest simultaneously ran from the basket to the sideline with the help of Mike Roberts' cover, but suddenly stopped and turned around, riding the Heat The basket is empty, trying to kill a carbine and steal points.

Gasol tacitly raised his hand straight to the basketball, and Bosh, who was about to switch defenses, reached out and tried at will, without even turning around.

But it may be such a coincidence that the high-speed flying basketball hit Bosh's outstretched palm and was shot backward by Bosh.

The basketball went straight to the free throw line, and Chalmers grabbed it in his hand and galloped forward, driving the Heat to the third line to play fast break in the middle.

In just two seconds, Chalmers made an emergency stop and passed the ball at the top of the frontcourt, while LeBron received the ball from the right wing and rushed like a thunderbolt.

Gasol, Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant tacitly shrink towards the basket, but LeBron suddenly raises his hand to score the ball.

Wade, who followed up in the middle, bowed to take the ball, took two big strides, and stood up from the ground, aiming at the basket for dunks with both hands.

Boom!The basketball exploded into the net.

"Good defense, keep it up!"

Su Yang clapped his hands and shouted. He didn't mean to be ironic, but he really thought so. The Lakers lost the ball purely by accident. Shrinking and blocking LeBron was also a defensive strategy determined before the game. If they want to achieve the restrictive effect, they will inevitably miss the Heat. Some cuts and threes.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and the referee took several seconds to give the ball. The Heat took the opportunity to defend a full-court zone defense, which was quite strong.

Curry didn't want to cover, ran all the way to the center line with the ball, waved his hand to execute the zipper tactic of attacking from the left side, and then passed the ball to Kobe who reached the top of the arc on the screen, and then also used Gasol to cover and cut to the bottom line across the paint.

In the blink of an eye, Curry circled to the 45-point line on the left, raised his hand to receive a pass back from Kobe, and took advantage of the momentum to hit the left elbow.

The Heat instantly flanked the three.

Wade shrinks at the top of the arc to control the dribbling route, Bosh intercepts and breaks through the space at the waist, Chalmers chases after Curry, and LeBron synchronizes his back to interfere with Artest and does not give him a chance to catch the ball. Slem circles forward to block the space for Gasol to receive the ball.

The defensive pressure is full to full!
But Curry joined the ball with both hands, made a stride to forcefully break through Bosh and Wade, and then made an emergency stop and jumped, throwing his hand high.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

There were cheers everywhere in the arena, and the Heat immediately grabbed the fast break. Wade dribbled the ball to the right wing and handed it to Haslem.

The basketball was passed to the top of the arc again. Bosh took the ball and observed it for half a second. He raised his hand and threw it to LeBron, who was stuck behind his left elbow. The paint area shifted to the left waist, forming a high-low connection.

LeBron turned around and passed the ball to Wade, then strode out to the right half, leaving a huge one-on-one space.

Kobe waited for Wade to get ready, he went around and stretched out his hand to press, and slapped the basketball in Wade's hand, as fast as lightning.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Wade picked up the basketball, turned around and shot a jumper impatiently, but that was not a skill he was good at, and facing Kobe, he was at a height disadvantage, his whole body leaned back obviously too much, and the shot bounced back with a bang. .

Artest jumped high to get the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Kobe. The Lakers launched a fast-break counterattack and the audience cheered.

Kobe Bryant hit 45 degrees to the right of the frontcourt in three seconds, and Gasol tacitly set up a wall to block Wade, and the attack was easily formed in advance.Haslem was forced to switch defenses, facing Kobe, who was super fast and low center of gravity, and fouled in a hurry.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle and Kobe gets two free throws.

In the ESPN commentary seat, Mark Jackson said: "Once the Heat don't get dragged into a positional battle, the tactical purpose is very obvious every time. I just saw Su Yang and instructed Wade to go to the left waist in advance. The Heat's efficient scoring range is too close. Basket..."

Van Gundy said: "That's normal. I was surprised that Curry broke the double-team. The Heat were very defensive at the time, but Su Yang didn't arrange for Curry to pass the ball. It shows that he fully believes in Curry's finishing ability at the basket. Value him three points."

Between words, Bryant made two free throws, 4 to 2.

The two teams switched offense and defense, LeBron dribbled the ball to the left wing, and cooperated with the oncoming Wade, who followed the process like a ghost cover.

That kind of cover is useless. The main reason is that Wade's three-point threat is relatively low, and the Lakers also have defense inside, so they are not afraid of sudden air cuts.

Haslem hurriedly ran to the left wing to set up a wall to cover, LeBron immediately started and went to the right to break through, but encountered Gasol's frontal interception, and Kobe's side shrinking to help defend, and Artest squeezed through the screen and frantically chased. Three defenses and two strategies.

But despite that, LeBron still ran to half a body away from Kobe before he stopped and turned and threw the ball to the top of the arc.

That's a great confidence in LeBron's level of stability in his possession, and it can also help Wade gain more time and space.

Anyway, the details are full, and compared to Wade's previous ghost cover, the effect is not known to be much better.

It's a pity that Wade's three-point shooting rate is low, and the success rate of going directly to the basket is also very low, so he has no choice but to pass back.

LeBron took the ball again from the 45-degree three-point line on the left, all members of the Heat stood outside the three-point line, and all members of the Lakers were ready to shrink.

Weighing for a moment, LeBron did not start directly to break through, but turned to use the cover of Haslem, and took the left to initiate a breakthrough.

However, the quality of Haslem's screen was a bit poor. Artest quickly squeezed through the screen to catch up. Gasol also intercepted in front of him. Man is playing a jerry game and the offense is going nowhere.

Wade made a sudden move with the ball. Seeing that Kobe was not fooled, he threw the ball to the right wing. Chalmers caught the ball and passed it to the bottom corner.

The Heat tossed for a long time, with 8 seconds left in the attack time, Bosh no longer hesitated to get the ball, and rushed to shoot a three-pointer against Mike Roberts.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

There were cheers in the arena, and Curry took the basketball from Gasol and took it all the way to the right wing of the frontcourt, and the two played pick-and-roll again.

Bosh didn't hesitate to grab the double-team, but Curry pulled the ball back and patiently looked for opportunities, scaring Bosh back to defense in a hurry.

But at the same time that Bosh returned to the defense, Gasol reversed and mentioned the top of the arc to set up a wall as a back screen, and Curry took the opportunity to accelerate and start.

In a hurry, Chalmers didn't know that there was a back cover, and it was too late to catch up, so he could only hand it over to Bosh to switch defenses and intercept.

Bosh chased non-stop, Wade and LeBron and others contracted synchronously, Curry stopped and turned around and threw the ball to the top of the arc.

Gasol took the ball and immediately turned to the left to distribute the ball, while Kobe received the ball on the sideline and flew back against Wade for a three-pointer.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 7 to 2.

"Come on, Miami!" Van Gundy said sincerely, "Don't let the finals become a one-sided crush, can't you change your defensive strategy? Double-teaming can continue to be executed, but Wade's weak-side contraction, I don't think so necessary!"

Mark Jackson nodded: "The Lakers are accurately using every defensive habit of the Heat. Even the pass error at the beginning of the game was actually due to Chris Bosh's luck. Otherwise, Artest caught the ball and scored at the basket. .”

During the conversation, the Heat started with the horns.

With the help of Haslem's cross-block cover, Bosh moved from the right waist to the left elbow to catch the ball and attacked Mike Roberts.

The Lakers will firmly shrink the encirclement without giving space, Bosh can only stop suddenly, turn around and jump, and throw the ball to the right corner helplessly.

Wade raised his hand to catch the ball, but it was a pity that he lacked a three-pointer, and he didn't have to shoot a three-pointer, so he immediately started to walk the baseline and try to break through.

The Lakers will once again shrink the encirclement without giving space. Wade made an out-of-bounds error and threw the ball to the right corner in a hurry.

LeBron was also a little impatient when receiving the ball. With 11 seconds left in the attack time, he faced Artest's defense and took a small step to take off for a three-pointer.

The shot was clanging, Gasol grabbed the rebound and turned around and quickly passed the center line. Curry caught the ball and flew to the left wing in a blink of an eye.

Mike Roberts arrived on the back foot, took advantage of the opportunity to pick and roll with Curry, then caught the ball and went straight to the basket, facing LeBron with a strong dunk.

The basketball blasted into the net, and the Lakers led 9-2. The Heat immediately requested a short timeout, and cheers resounded in Staples.

At the commentary seat of CCTV5, Zhang Lili smiled unabashedly: "Hey, you said that these two teams, the Heat partially flanked, and the Lakers also partially flanked. The Heat shrank, and the Lakers also shrank. The same defensive strategy, the effect The difference is so big.

The Lakers played really smartly, and Su Yang's guidance is really good. If Kobe had more possessions, it would be perfect! "

On the Lakers bench, Su Yang said calmly: "The Heat should switch defenses and force us to make jump shots..."
