The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 87
With the blessing of life water, it is really different. Li Ming rushed to the opponent's half of the court without waiting for the opponent's position or his teammates' position.

"Dunk!!!"

There was only a loud thought, and Anderson fell to the ground in pain, the referee's whistle blew, and he dribbled the ball into someone...

Damn... isn't this called a defensive foul? ?Li Ming just wanted to go up to the referee to argue, but Guy pulled him back.

Yes, you read that right, Guy pulled him back!
Life is so ironic, the most impulsive Guy turned out to be the peacemaker on the court, the fate is wonderful.

Li Ming waved his hand and stepped back, muttering words, so love is contagious, right?
With the Heat's possession, LeBron slowly took the ball across the half court, and made eye contact with Battier. Battier quickly pulled to the side, and the pass followed.

Du Lin still suffered from his inexperience. He thought that Battier was going to cut in, but he rushed forward and confiscated his footsteps. Just this, Battier caught the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.

Strictly speaking, Battier's three-pointer is not bad, but he is too restrained, even if he feels hot, he will not compete with his teammates.

This ball is known as a shot, perfect hand shape, perfect parabola, perfect person.

97 to 97, tied again, with less than 5 minutes left in the game, Coach Hollins on the sidelines made a time-out gesture.

"In this substitution, the Grizzlies may play the black and white bears and strictly guard the basket." Alan Houston said.

"If this is the case, then the Heat's one-star style of play will be limited. After all, LeBron James needs to rush up to score the ball. If he just stands, there are not many opportunities and he cannot drive the defense. "Pippen was a little concerned.

Sure enough, after returning from the timeout, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph played at the same time, During was also replaced, and Conley put on his horse again.

"Rudy, you're standing in that position again, go inside." Conley's team immediately changed as soon as he entered the field, and his mental outlook was just like the beginning of the game. Everyone focused on running and pick-and-roll.

"Mike!" Li Ming called out to Conley in a low voice, and a false throw from Conley hit his chest just in time.

After Li Ming got the ball, he went down and gave it to Gasol, who was on the line, and then used Randolph's cover to go to the basket. Gasol's pass flew to Li Ming easily.

99 to 97, the ball passed through the hands of four people. Although Gay did not pass through the hands, at least he was actively running outside, which also played a role in covering him to a certain extent.

Xiaojia's role on the line is too great. Any team is eager to get such a big center. The technical characteristics are very clear.

Almost everything was covered by one person. At that time, Xiaojia's three-pointers had not yet been developed, and Marc Gasol, who developed three-pointers in the later stage, would be even more terrifying.

Bosh took the initiative to come up for the pick-and-roll, LeBron passed the ball back after a downswing, Bosh aimed at the basket and shot immediately, but his touch was so-so, the ball was outrageous.

Battier got the rebound and passed it to Bosh again. Bosh wanted to break into the paint and make damage, but his center of gravity was too big, and the ball was stolen by Conley just after he put it down.

The Heat made a mistake again, LeBron looked a little frustrated, and kept spreading his hands to signal, "I'm open, you pass it, buddy."

Conley quickly led the half court, but Miller and Battier under the basket defended the two corners. Conley smiled and retreated to the three-point line and made another three-pointer.

Conley has hit 14 of 9 goals so far, and scored 24 points efficiently. He is not obvious, very efficient.

This three-pointer made the American Airlines Center arena silent, and the silence was scary.

LeBron came up and dribbled the ball by himself. After halftime, he dribbled outside for seven or eight seconds. After taking two steps back, he squeezed in at full speed, carrying Randolph and scoring the ball.

However, he himself was exhausted enough, panting heavily, and every attack by the Heat had to take a lot of effort.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies here, with every gesture, Conley made another assist. Li Minghuang drove the defender away and went straight to the basket to complete an alley-oop with Conley.

Ray Allen finally got a chance to score a half-stop.

But the Grizzlies immediately made a fast break, and Li Ming seemed to be on the hook, striding tirelessly into the Heat's basket with strides, leaning back and scoring the ball among the crowd.

Immediately after the goal, he intercepted LeBron's pass on the spot and dunked again.

For this ball, neither LeBron nor Bosh reached out to the basket. The two seemed to have some communication problems, and they both felt that the other side would defend.

106 to 99, with the game time less than 2 minutes, it was a bit difficult. The home team had to cheer up. There was only one long timeout and one short timeout left for the Heat, so Spoelstra didn't mean to call a timeout for the time being.

The Grizzlies took a look here, and if you don't call a timeout, then I won't call it either, and I won't call a timeout for you.

Li Ming and Conley were running a pick-and-roll on the line, and Conley took advantage of Li Ming's cover to make another unexpected three-pointer.

109:99.

"If you ask me, this shot is a bit of a gamble. Conley is a mature point guard. It's not his style to make such a quick shot. After all, if he doesn't score, it will hurt morale. After all, time is more difficult for the home team now."

"That's right. The Grizzlies can completely control the tempo and hit a steady success rate. There's no need to shoot a three-pointer just after halftime." Alan Houston agrees with Scottie Pippen's point of view.

The players on the court looked at LeBron James and looked a little frustrated. Spoelstra finally called a short timeout.

After a few simple arrangements, the players re-entered the court. The Heat just replaced Miller and took Anderson, which seemed to be to protect their backboards.

However, it was only at this time that I wondered if it would be too late to change the lineup. After all, the Heat have been playing double inside for so long, and Bosh and Anderson have hardly played together.

LeBron dribbled the ball and passed the ball under the double-teaming of Conley and Li Ming. Bosh hung up the opponent's defender for Ray Allen.

109 to 102, it is rare that he can still go in at this time.

However, the Grizzlies didn't mean to press the rhythm. After halftime, Li Ming didn't pass the ball and raised his hand two meters away from the three-point line to score a three-pointer. !
112 to 102, with 56 seconds left, the Heat are still three points behind, and the glimmer of light that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished.

In the next few rounds, he either made a mistake or failed to complete an effective shot. He even stretched out his hand lazily for a foul. He just stretched out his hand symbolically in the last 16 seconds and sent Conley two free throws for nothing.

In the end, the Grizzlies won the game 114-102 at the American Airlines Center in Miami.
