Chapter 378 Lakers Are You Ready?
The game went on anxiously.

The Heat unexpectedly fell into a scoring drought. They hadn't scored in a sports game for a long time. They barely relied on LeBron and Wade to break through and draw fouls to maintain the situation.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led 32 to 19. ESPN predicted that the probability of the Lakers winning G5 rose to 90%.

The second quarter started immediately. On the Heat's side, LeBron left the court to take a break after making a pretense, and replaced Wade on the court to lead the team. However, after four and a half minutes, only 7 points were scored. Fortunately, the defensive mobility was strong enough. , Only allowed the Lakers to score 10 points off the bench.

Kobe and LeBron and other main players returned to the court at the same time. LeBron found his form and made consecutive shots, and Kobe also responded with consecutive shots.

After returning from the intermission, Su Yang casually glanced at LeBron's statistics, and found that LeBron was 5 of 2 in the first quarter, 6 of 4 in the second quarter, and had 16 points in the half, while Wade was 11 of 5 in the half. With 6 assists, both of them played normally.

In the third quarter, the game started in a blink of an eye, and the situation turned into a defensive battle as expected. Kobe made 6 shots in a row, and Wade paid the price for 3 fouls. Similarly, Wade was also made frequent shots by Kobe, and Kobe paid 2 fouls. .

Seeing that the referee whistled the penalty fairly, Su Yang temporarily instructed the Lakers to take turns to hit the basket, which soon caused the Heat to increase their fouls.

After the third quarter, the Heat made 16 of 7 shots and the Lakers made 20 of 7 shots.

Kobe, who played well in the first half, became the iron king, and Janeway, who played fairly well, became a lagging player.

The Lakers went into the fourth quarter 86-73.

Su Yang wanted to let Kobe rest for a while, but LeBron, who was facing a desperate situation, entered the God of War state again. In just two and a half minutes, he had three assists and a mid-range shot, leading the Heat to a 10-5 attack wave, allowing the Lakers to lead by only one 8 points left.

The Heat made a lot of big defensive and offensive moves. It cannot be said that they are absolutely fouled, but the Lakers will get different whistles for the same actions.

Su Yangna dared to take the risk to let Kobe rest more, but after Kobe came on the court, he got a foul first, and then shot and hit the iron continuously, and linked other Lakers players to also hit the iron crazy, causing LeBron to play 12 games without Wade's help. 4 attack waves.

Seeing that the score was tied, the Heat's momentum was like a rainbow, and the American Airlines Arena cheered wildly. Su Yang suppressed his anger and asked for a timeout.

"It's too much! Those referees are double-marking! No wonder they favored us before!" Assistant coach Mike Brown slammed the tactical board, and McMillan, who has always been gentle, also yelled at the referee. Snyder rushed directly to the referee to argue.

Mike Roberts almost got a technical foul for questioning the referee, but Artest, who had a bad temper, went up and pulled him away.

After everyone calmed down, Su Yang slowly said: "Don't look at the score, don't pay attention to the statistics, don't care about how much time is left before the end of the game, we must position accurately, pass the ball quickly, shoot resolutely, without fear of confrontation.

No matter how the referee whistles, we stick to our own style of play, we can control the result of the game and our destiny! "

After finishing speaking, Su Yang raised his right hand to signal, and all the generals of the Lakers raised their right hands together and cheered in unison.

The whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the game continued, and the live announcer loudly announced the substitutions of the two teams.

On the Lakers side, Artest replaced Diaw, and on the Heat side, Wade replaced Mike Miller. In the ESPN commentary booth, Van Gundy heard the broadcast and suddenly laughed: "Wade's appearance at this time may be an excellent opportunity for the Lakers to end the game."

Brin asked curiously, "Why?"

Van Gundy curled his lips slightly: "A guess, not necessarily true. If the Heat finally win this game, then Wade's 3 fouls in the third quarter will become the key, which makes Wade not appear until now in the fourth quarter, and also makes LeBron Leading the team to chase points efficiently.”

On the court, the referee blew his whistle, and the Lakers launched an offense from the bottom line in the backcourt. There were 3 minutes and 48 seconds left in the game.

ESPN gave the winning percentage of the two teams on the central screen, and the Lakers dropped from 90% to 48%. It was like breaking through three lanes and preparing to push the base, but they were defeated by four consecutive waves. There may be a super big comeback.

American Airlines Arena was booed everywhere, Curry stopped the ball on the left wing, raised his hand and passed Kobe in the corner, and Gasol fully blocked the left waist.

Bosh desperately pushed around and interfered, Gasol obviously couldn't complete the card position efficiently, Kobe thought for half a second and chose to break through.

Wade didn't dare to guard against four fouls on his back. Battier quickly emptied Roberts, shrinking from the top of the arc to double-team the free throw line.Seeing this, Kobe decisively stopped and scored the ball, but Roberts received the ball wide open, hesitated for a while and did not dare to make a shot, and passed back to Kobe who ran to the right wing.

Kobe gritted his teeth and broke through again. Facing LeBron's encirclement, he jumped up and shot forcibly. Wade flew a big cap.

Cheers erupted in the American Airlines arena. LeBron took the ball and did not rush, but slowly brought it across the center line and passed it to Chalmers.

The pick-and-roll coordination of the early offense was formed. Su Yang shouted a reminder from the sidelines, and Artest and Curry immediately chose to switch defenses.

With that kind of operation, Chalmers' breakthrough was a great success, but Curry faced LeBron, and the height and weight gap was too big.

Heat coach Spoelstra frantically shouted reminders from the sidelines. Charles turned around and threw the ball to the right wing, making it clear that he wanted Battier to catch the ball, and then passed the ball to the waist to help LeBron create a chance to eat Curry alone. That was absolutely easy.

In the blink of an eye, seeing Battier catch the ball, Artest gave up on Chalmers and directly inserted the passing line between Battier and LeBron. Curry took the opportunity to run to Chalmers, also interfering with Battier. The passing lane between Thiel and Chalmers.

At the same time, Roberts pressed Battier close to him, and the three of the Lakers cooperated to perfectly fill the defensive loopholes, and the Heat's offense returned to zero.

With only 7 seconds left in the attack time, LeBron took the initiative to withdraw to the left corner to catch the ball, made a few random attempts, and pulled out a three-pointer.

The basketball slammed like iron, Gasol jumped high and caught the rebound, landed and turned around and handed it to Kobe beside him, the Lakers launched a counterattack.

American Airlines arena booing again, the Lakers under the cover of the front court to turn into a triangle attack, and Gasol hit Bosh with the ball on his right waist.

DuangDuang chiseled fiercely, Gasol turned around and hit the iron with a hook, and Wade's rebels grabbed a defensive rebound from it.

The Heat launched a counterattack amidst the cheers of the audience. After some conduction and running, Wade gave Kobe a hard push and finally got the ball on the left waist.

The referee didn't whistle a foul, and Kobe didn't complain. He staggered to stabilize his figure, and immediately ran over to continue defending.

Wade slapped his back left and right, shook his shoulders and shook his shoulders, his movements were terrific, and then he turned over and took off and shot backwards, but it was a pity that he hit the iron.

Artest grabbed the rebound and moved forward quickly. Kobe caught the ball from the center line and rushed all the way to the basket, using the screen to hit the board.

97 to 95, the Lakers regained the lead.

Assistant coach Mike Brown led a group of Lakers players to cheer, but before the cheers fell, Chalmers used LeBron's pick-and-roll to break through at the top of the arc, and suddenly passed the ball to Wade, who was stealthily cutting. Kobe turned back in a hurry. It's too late to prevent.

Wade took off on the spot and scored a dunk dunk, and the Heat tied the score again, with 2 minutes and 09 seconds left before the end of the game.

"I'm about to have a heart attack..." Mike Brown joked inappropriately, and no one answered the coaching staff.

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field, Curry dribbled the ball across the center line, the Lakers settled in a three-high and two-low formation, the high-post transfers the basketball, the low-post cross-screen runs change the half court, Kobe passes the ball at the top of the arc in the blink of an eye, and the others run FLOPPY situation.

Curry put aside the push and shoves all the way, and used the cover to go around the right wing. Unfortunately, just after receiving a pass from Kobe, he was stuck by Chalmers.

It's useless for Gasol to step forward to cover, Chalmers unscrupulously Handcheck, and Curry can hardly get rid of it by changing direction.

The offensive clock was running out quickly, and Kobe hurried to the right wing, took a pass from Curry in a hurry, and went straight for a three-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Gasol and Roberts, as well as Shane Battier and Bosh, the four jumped up almost at the same time to compete, and the basketball was forced to fly to the top of the arc.

In the chaos, Kobe started to rush forward, picked up the basketball first, turned his back and pushed his buttocks against LeBron's pressure, and hugged the ball tightly with both hands to avoid Wade's interference. The situation was precarious, and Su Yang hurriedly shouted at the situation : "Pause, pause..."

Immediately after the whistle sounded, the Lakers returned to the bench and exploded into a circle. Su Yang quickly arranged a sideline ball tactic.

"If the Lakers score in this offense, they will win the game. No coach knows how to suppress the score better than Su Yang..." Van Gundy said seriously, "No team can play an offensive climax when the Lakers defend the zone defense. Great reversal."

Brin laughed: "You just said that Wade is a chance for the Lakers. After he came on the court, he had 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 block..."

On the court, the whistle sounded, and the game continued. Neither team made any substitutions, and there were 1 minute and 51 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Lakers attacked from the left sideline, the referee whistled the ball and timed it, and Curry used the screen to catch the ball at the LOGO position.

The formation of one high and four low was formed simultaneously. Curry faced LeBron directly at the top of the arc. Moments later, Gasol went up to the wall to cover.

Curry took the opportunity to break through to the right. Seeing that Bosh's attack was delayed, he quickly returned to the defense. He hurriedly stopped and turned around to pass the ball to the left.

Amid the shouts of 'defense' all over the court, Kobe received the ball from the 45-degree three-point line, looked at the Heat's 23 zone defense, and then passed the ball back to Curry. Gasol once again raised the wall to block LeBron, and Curry took the opportunity again. He tried to break through at the start, but Naihe was double-teamed again.

Bosh is desperate!
He went up to the pincers very quickly, and retracted back to the defense very quickly. In a trance, he looked like Garnett at his peak wearing a Heat jersey.

Curry had no choice but to pull the ball back, swaying continuously, switching his right hand to his left suddenly, then took off with a retreat step, and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

LeBron's connection was almost seamless, and he jumped up and blocked the block almost at the same time, but it was still so close that the basketball was hollow into the net.

"This ball can only be defended by LeBron. If it is another small forward, there is no such continuous explosive ability." Su Yang suddenly sighed, "But this kind of three-pointer can only be shot by Curry. If it is another point guard , there is no such coordination ability at all.”

American Airlines Arena was briefly quiet as the Lakers led 100-97 with 1:27 left in the game.

The Heat launched a counterattack, LeBron slowly dribbled the ball across the center line, stopped at the top of the arc and waited.Chalmers pretended to run across the paint, but actually stopped and went up to the wall to cover. LeBron took the opportunity to launch a breakthrough, and the Lakers quickly shrunk to encircle him.

Seeing that Kobe emptied Wade to participate in the encirclement, LeBron stopped and raised his hand and threw the ball to the right corner, but Wade did not rush to shoot.

Kobe slowly returned to the defense. Facing Wade, who was pushing the bottom line, he suddenly accelerated and chased closely, leaving no room for easy shots.

Wade went all the way to the basket, facing Gasol's interception, hurriedly raised his hand and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Chalmers received the ball wide open, also did not rush to shoot a three-pointer, forced to the paint area, obviously lacking confidence, but with only 6 seconds left in the attack time, facing the Lakers to intercept, Chalmers Leng Ding put the ball straight Basket, want to pass to Wade.

There is nothing wrong with the idea, but the movement is too slow and the purpose is too obvious. Curry reached out and slapped the basketball hard with a slap.

The Lakers launched a counterattack, and the Heat's defensive formation was extremely chaotic. Artest saw the top of the arc and made a back screen to block Chalmers.

Curry didn't hesitate to use the cover to reach the free throw line, facing Bosh who was trying to make up the defense, he stopped suddenly and took off with one foot to throw.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 102 to 97.

The timeout whistle sounded immediately, and with 58 seconds left before the end of the game, Curry roared all the way to the bench.

Kobe Bryant stepped forward to celebrate by pushing and beating, Su Yang got up and clapped his hands, but he was thinking about how to prevent the Heat from making three-pointers.

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "Lakers, are you ready? We will win the championship!"
