Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Chapter 80 The Arrival of the 2011 All-Stars

Just when everyone thought James was going to break through, he directly slammed the ball into the inside!

Just after Wade handed the ball to James, he has already started running.

With Bosh's off-ball screen, Wade squeezed directly past the Clippers' defense and rushed into the restricted area.

People arrive at the ball.

Wade gets the ball and is about to jump for a dunk.

Millsap suddenly appeared in front of him, arms outstretched to seal the space for his layup.

Facing Millsap's defense, Wade still jumped high.

Millsap followed suit.

Wade, who was jumping in the air, suddenly changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to send it to the middle.

James, who made an air cut into the penalty area, received the ball, and then jumped high with both feet for a dunk.

It is impossible for Millsap to turn around and block James at this moment. After landing, he can only watch James take off in the Clippers' restricted area.

Just when everyone thought that the Heat played a wonderful "Janeway Connection" cooperation, Ibaka appeared!

He suddenly appeared from James' side, leaped high, and pressed his hands hard on the basketball.

Bang!

The bodies of James and Ibaka slam into each other hard, and the basketball hits the back of the rim and flies out.

beep!

The referee whistled to signal Ibaka's defensive foul.

"Nice job!" Millsap went up and patted Ibaka's ass.

This ball foul is the best choice, as long as James is not allowed to dunk in.

James' free throws have always been unstable, not to mention that he has consumed too much energy today.

In the first free throw, the ball went slightly wide, and James slapped his teammates calmly.

In the second penalty, James blew on his hand, trying to slow down the rhythm before shooting.

The ball went out of the basket again, and Dayao stuck Bosh firmly behind him and got the defensive rebound.

James looked disappointed. Although he made free throws, he rarely missed two free throws.

But he didn't give up yet, he rushed up and hugged Dayao, trying to chase points through foul tactics.

"LeBron, don't, Loeb...oh, damn it!" Barkley couldn't hold back, and burst into foul language.

Seeing James rushing forward, he had a premonition that something was wrong.

When James hugged Dayao, he couldn't hold back for an instant.

Yang Li, oh Yang Li, you want me to die!

Dayao walked to the free throw line and hit two free throws steadily.

His personal score also came to 20 points.

This means that Barkley lost again today!

Check out the score on the scoreboard:

Clippers 115:99 Heat.

With one minute and 15 seconds left before the end of the game, the Heat trailed by a full 16 points.

Spoelstra replaced all the main players before Dayao made the second free throw.

There is no need to play this game again.

In the end, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Miami Heat 118:105.

At this point, the Miami Heat's 13-game winning streak was ended by the Los Angeles Clippers.

They failed to make history.

However, the Heat's performance is good enough.

Whether it's the media or commentators, almost all of them believe that this year's championship must belong to the Heat!

In this game, the Clippers can be said to be all soldiers, and 3 of them scored more than 20 points:

Curry scored the highest 26 points in the Clippers, while taking off 5 rebounds and sending 5 assists.

Harden scored 23 points but grabbed eight rebounds while dishing out nine assists.

Dayao scored 20 points, picked up 5 rebounds and sent 3 assists.

The performances of the three were all remarkable, especially Dayao, who scored 10+ efficiently in just over 20 minutes of playing.

However, compared with the Big Three of the Heat, the data of the Clippers' trio seems a bit lackluster.

Wade scored a game-high 31 points, also picked up seven rebounds, sent five assists, and even three blocked shots.

James had 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Bosh had 26 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Big Three combined scored a full 15 points higher than the Clippers trio!

The crushing of other data such as rebounds and assists is even more outrageous than scoring.

But this also exposed a problem, that is, the Heat only scored 21 points in total except for the Big Three.

As for the Clippers, except for the 5 starters, the substitute players scored 28 points!

This is the gap in lineup depth.

The Big Three are indeed fierce, but the problems brought about by the Big Three cannot be ignored.

That is, due to the constraints of salary space, the team cannot recruit high-quality role players.

In this way, the outcome of the game depends entirely on the status of the Big Three.

As long as the three play well, they can basically win the game.

Only two of the three played well, and the result of the game was hard to say.

If only one of the three is in good condition, it will definitely be a fiasco.

The Heat understand this problem and are very clear, but there is really no way to solve it.

After the game, Barkley fulfilled his bet in the studio, and his funny appearance once again maxed out major social media.

On February 2011, 2, the Heat met the Clippers again.

In this game, the Big Three of the Heat performed well and won the Clippers with a score of 105:97.

The reason why the Clippers lost here was because Curry and Dayao played for only ten minutes before taking a rest.

This is not because they suffered another injury, but because of the protection of the players by the head coach Yang Li.

The playing time of Curry and Dayao was strictly controlled within 20 minutes.

The two are indeed recovering very well, but this does not mean that they are completely recovered.

It is the safest way to play less games and let the body slowly recover to its best condition.

Only in this way can the Clippers go further in this year's playoffs.

Of course, although the playing time of the two of them was reduced, Yang Li gave them both more important tasks.

When faced with the requirements such as autographs and group photos of fans, as long as the two of them can meet them, they must be met.

Yang Li thought about resting the two of them in rotation, but quickly rejected this approach.

On the one hand, it cannot disappoint the tickets bought by the audience.

On the other hand, if they rest in rotation, the number of games played by the two will not meet the requirements for the number of games selected for the All-Star.

After a brilliant rookie season, Curry's popularity is very high, and he is almost certain to become an All-Star starter.

Because of the enthusiasm of the people of Los Angeles, Dayao has the most votes at the center position.

After all, this year's All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles.

In mid-February, the NBA announced the 2 All-Star lineup.
