Chapter 377 Blowing the Charge

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the two teams switched offense and defense.

Curry received the ball in the backcourt, led the defense against Chalmers, and led all the way across the center line, and the other four Lakers settled in the bullhorn formation.

Artest had a 45-degree screen on the right side, and Curry took the opportunity to speed up the breakthrough, but Wade took the initiative to double-team, so he had to stop and turn around to score the ball.

Boos suddenly erupted in the arena. Artest took the ball to the top of the arc, observed it for a while, and then passed it to the left wing. Kobe took the ball and broke through.

LeBron exerted all his pressure, but due to his height and weight, his speed was at a disadvantage, coupled with the lack of space available on the sideline, he just couldn't stop Kobe.Seeing this, the other four players of the Heat quickly shrank towards the inside, and Curry easily got a big open in the right bottom corner.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe suddenly stopped and took off and threw the ball vigorously. The basketball flew back from the heads of the Heat and went straight to the bottom corner on the right.

Chalmers turned around in a hurry, seeing Curry catching the ball and raising his hand to shoot, he jumped up instinctively to block the shot, but was a little slower.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound of thugs, followed by the sound of a basketball hollowing out the net, and the whistle of the referee, and finally the audience sighed.

The referee yelled at the technical gestures: Chalmers got a foul, Curry's three-pointer was valid and received an additional penalty.

Assistant coach Mike Brown applauded and said: "The Heat players are very tense, can we take advantage of it?"

Su Yang smiled and nodded: "Win or be eliminated, it is indeed easy to get nervous, or it may be that Curry's three-pointer is too threatening..."

No way, most players would rather choose to take off and be cheated when facing Curry who is open to catch the ball, than to let go of three-pointers. Three points, it is better to delay Curry's shot.

During the conversation, the audience booed wildly, and Curry stood on the free throw line and made an extra penalty steadily. The Lakers led 13 to 10.

The two teams switched offense and defense, the Heat made a three-point line in the front court, and LeBron received the ball from the right wing to face Artest, who was actively retreating.

At the same time, Chalmers and Bosh formed an echelon screen on the left, and Wade took the opportunity to get rid of Kobe and ran to the free throw line.

That tactic, the Heat have played too many times, is too obvious. The Lakers simply cooperated, and Kobe easily caught up with Wade.

After a long confrontation, Wade turned around and passed the ball back to the right wing. LeBron took the ball and saw that Artest had shrunk to the free throw line, and he pulled it up and shot.

when!Three-point strike.

Gasol grabbed the rebound casually, turned around and threw it to Curry, the Lakers launched a fast break counterattack, and directly settled in a five-out formation.

There were boos at the American Airlines Arena, and Curry pretended to go to the top of the arc to cover, but turned around and passed the ball to Kobe on the right wing.

LeBron hurriedly raised his foot sideways to get stuck in the space on the main sideline, forcing Kobe to break through from the free throw line, intending to encircle him.

That thought, Kobe still turned towards the sideline, raised his hand at the same time and threw the ball first, then raised his leg and squeezed past LeBron sideways.

LeBron was really unprepared for a slanted move with a sword. He was in a hurry and had no time to turn around to catch up, and suddenly shouted: "Let's go!"
The referee ignored it, and Bosh let go of Gasol in a hurry and rushed to Kobe's defense, but the basketball rebounded and flew to the basket.

Gasol caught the ball and lifted it upwards. Who would have thought that Wade rushed out from behind him, slapped the basketball away, and successfully stole it.

LeBron next to him bent down to pick up the basketball, leaned over and buried himself in the start, sprinting forward like a [-]-meter sprint, moving like lightning.

Mike Brown made a rare complaint: "Kobe only scored 60 points on this pass. It is difficult for a big man to bend over to catch the ball at the basket."

Just as Su Yang was about to answer the call, Wade dribbled the ball inside against Kobe.

The basketball fell to the ground, and Curry picked it up, rushed to the top of the frontcourt arc, stopped suddenly, turned around and threw the ball 45 degrees to the right.

Kobe followed up and took the basketball. Seeing LeBron retreat to the free throw line ahead of time, he immediately stepped up and took off to shoot a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 16 to 10.

The referee blew his whistle at the same time to suspend the game. In the ESPN commentary booth, Van Gundy said: "The Heat's offense and defense were very chaotic in the past two rounds. Wade actually didn't wait for his teammates and forced a four-man encirclement. I thought their play style became reasonable."

Brin said with a smile: "If it's just two mid-range shots, the impact will be very small, but both times are three-pointers, and there are additional penalties."

On the Lakers bench, all the players stood in a three-layer circle inside and outside. Su Yang took the tactical board handed over by Snyder, thought quickly and said after a moment: "The Heat should make adjustments. They are seriously lacking in shooting. They dare not take the risk of falling behind. Too many, I guess they should replace Chalmers and replace Battier, so we need to pay attention to three-pointers on the defensive end and avoid fouls..."

Between the words, the timeout ended, and Su Yang Dior replaced Mike Roberts, instructing Artest and Dior to take turns to keep an eye on LeBron.

The on-site announcer loudly reported the substitutions of the two teams, and the Heat really used Battier to replace Chalmers.

"How did you guess?" Mike Brown was full of curiosity. "I have seen you make accurate predictions many times, but this time..."

"It's very simple. The Heat don't dare to replace Wade or LeBron." Assistant coach Snyder interjected. Adams is the best option for the Heat."

Mike Brown nodded thoughtfully, and Su Yang also nodded in agreement: Chalmers was already known as a dribbling guard.

The game continued on the court, still with the three-point line from left to right, and then the left waist formed an echelon screen.

Wade quickly circled to the free throw line, raised his hand to catch the pass from LeBron on the right wing, ignored Kobe's pursuit, and took off directly to make a mid-range shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

Cheers erupted in the American Airlines arena. Unexpectedly, the referee blew his whistle and waved his hand, indicating that Battier's push was the first to make an offensive foul.

Two points are invalid, and the player is transferred to the Lakers.

Boos suddenly resounded in the American Airlines arena, and Su Yang was quite puzzled: Why did the referee favor the Lakers tonight?
In Artest's 2+1 before, the referee was a little slow to blow the whistle, and Kobe Bryant scored the ball, but he was suspected of walking.

Immediately, he thought of a possibility: blow the whistle to the away team first, causing heated arguments among the fans, and then blow the whistle to the home team.

But if the referee insisted on making a game, there was nothing he could do. After thinking for a while, Su Yang put aside his worries and continued to pay attention to the game.

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, the Lakers' frontcourt has three highs and two lows, and the three high positions quickly performed Iverson's cross-cutting and figure-of-eight conduction.

However, Wade followed Curry closely and did not give the slightest space to catch the ball. Diaw at the top of the arc could only turn around and move to the right to find Kobe.

The hand-to-hand cooperation was formed immediately, and Wade may have relied on double-teaming, so he didn't squeeze through the cover for the first time to catch up.

Seeing this, Kobe jumped with the ball without hesitation, and threw a three-pointer against the flying Mike Miller, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

19 to 10, the boos at the American Airlines Arena stopped.

Who would have thought that Kobe made two consecutive three-pointers?
You must know that Kobe has the highest three-point shooting rate of 38% in the past ten or so seasons. Although the 02-03 season and the 05-06 season playoffs had a 40% three-point shooting rate, but the continuous rush to hit this kind of Things are still a little weird.

Su Yang sighed in his heart: "My boy, if the fans in the [-]s saw this, they would have to say that Kobe won the FMVP..."

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, Wade gave the ball to LeBron in the frontcourt, LeBron took the ball to observe for a while, and then chose to pass it back to Wade.

The scene was a bit embarrassing immediately, Wade took the ball and simply used Bosh to cover, slowly ran to the short corner on the right, and singled out Kobe.

The audience will cheer and cheer when they see this. Wade sways his crotch in different directions, then turns around and leans against Kobe to hit with his back.

At the moment Wade turned his back, Kobe suddenly stretched out his left hand to take out the ball. Wade hurriedly grabbed the ball and turned around to take off, the movement was very reluctant.

Kobe took off at the same time and raised his left hand to block the block. Although he failed to block the shot, Wade's shot became untouchable, and the basketball fell suddenly.

Diaw easily picked up the ball and threw it to Curry. The Lakers launched a three-line fast break, and the Heat retreated in confusion.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe took the ball from the left wing. Seeing that there was no Heat player defending in the right corner, he raised his hand and made a long pass first.

Tacitly, Diaw used Gasol to cover the air cut almost at the same time, received the ball from the short corner on the right, and took advantage of the trend to score a three-step layup.

21 to 10, the Lakers led by 11 points, Heat coach Spoelstra was pacing back and forth anxiously with his hips on his hips.

In the ESPN commentary seat, Van Gundy sighed: "If it were me, I would choose to replace Wade and let LeBron lead the team alone."

Brin Quan pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "The Lakers have already started playing charge music, how should the Heat respond?"
