NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 403 The finals begins! Lakers no longer reserved! (page 12)

There was only one day between Game 1 and Game of the Eastern Conference Finals, and they started on time in Miami.

The result of this game was as Su Tian expected, and the Heat won firmly.

This game is like a replica of the previous game, except that it was the Heat who took the lead at the beginning of the game.

Vincent, Hiro, and Adebayor went crazy at the beginning of the game, hitting all kinds of fairy balls one after another.

Although the Heat's lead in the first quarter had little to do with Butler, the Heat did win the game, and Butler was naturally not boasting.

Of course, although it had little to do with Butler in the first quarter, the Heat maintained their lead in the second three quarters, but it was inseparable from Butler.

The Heat won this game, which also represented the complete end of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat defeated the Celtics 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Finals!

The opponents in this season's finals are determined to be the Lakers and Heat.

At the same time, after receiving the news, Wharton began to actively prepare and conduct more targeted tactical drills.

The atmosphere within the Lakers team is maintained very well, mainly because the main players here, except for the thick eyebrows, are all members of the team that won the championship last season. Everyone has the experience of winning the championship, so they will naturally be much more calm.

The Lakers are very calm, but the Heat seem more cramped because the Heat only have two days to prepare.

"Jimmy, the focus of the Lakers is undoubtedly Su Tian. I will trouble you with Su Tian's defense." Spoelstra looked at Butler and said.

"No problem coach, but if I deal with Su Tian, ​​then who will deal with George?"

Spo stroked his chin and said: "Su Tian is the absolute number one core of the Lakers. If we can contain Su Tian, ​​we will be half successful. Davis can only be handed over to Adebayor, plus the help of other people on defense." , as for George’s side.”

Spo scratched his scalp helplessly and said helplessly: "George can only be left to Claude and Hero. Vincent can also participate in assisting defense. Hey, there is no way. We have limited manpower and can only temporarily Here comes the key personnel."

Butler also knew the current situation of the Heat, so he didn't force anything, he just asked for a clear conscience.

Two days passed quickly, and the finals came soon.

The first game of the Finals was played at Staples, and the Heat also arrived in Los Angeles one day in advance.

Speculation about this series began before the game even started.

"Although I appreciate Butler's tenacity and mental attributes, there is an insurmountable gap between the Heat and the Lakers. I am still optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship." Barkley said on social media.

"Nothing needs to be said about the strength of the Lakers, but the Heat are also an opponent that cannot be underestimated, especially Jimmy Butler. He is really a mysterious and powerful player. I think the Heat can at least win one game." This is O'Neill's view.

"Actually, everyone knows that the Lakers are very strong and have obvious advantages over the Heat, but everyone underestimates the Heat and underestimates Butler. Butler will give you a miracle!" Wade also made his own remarks.

For a time, many retired stars also spoke. Paul Pierce, Stickie Pippen, and Kobe also expressed their opinions.

But what the game will look like still depends on the performance of the two teams on the field.

Soon, the two teams entered the stadium separately. Su Tian also saw the Heat players and looked at each other from a distance.

Originally, Su Tian wanted to go up and "greet" him, but when he saw Butler, he turned away and was not willing to talk to Su Tian at all.

Su Tian saw this and did not go up to talk to him.

Soon, the game begins.

The Heat's starting lineup is Dragic, Butler, Crowder, Adebayo, and Olynyk.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is Brunson, Su Tian, ​​George, Big Eyebrow, and McGee.

Obviously, the Lakers maintained their regular starting lineup, while the Heat specially adjusted their starting lineup for the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, McGee took the lead in grabbing the jump ball. Brunson got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Dragic is not good at defense, but Brunson did not act rashly. Instead, he reached out and called for thick eyebrows to step forward to pick and roll, preparing for a tactical cooperation in the opening game.

This tactic seems to be the cooperation of Brunson and thick eyebrows, but in fact it has a back-up move. It depends on whether the Heat will be fooled.

Brunson took the ball directly to the basket with the help of the pick and roll. The Heat changed defense quickly. Adebayor blocked Brunson's path in time, so Brunson directly passed the ball back to the thick eyebrow outside.

After the pass was released, Brunson turned and ran outside the three-point line. Adebayor immediately followed after seeing this.

At this time, Nongmei and Dragic faced off. Everyone thought it was a classic big vs. small game, but Nongmei did not start the fight directly, but passed the ball to the basket.

At this time, George, who was sneaking an air cut, just received the pass and made an easy layup.

2-0

"Beautiful! This Lakers tactic is really wonderful. George's air cut is just right. I never expected that one day Walton's tactical literacy would be so good." Barkley sighed.

"This tactic is indeed beautiful, but it's not necessarily what Walton came up with." Kenny Smith joked from the sidelines.

At this time, Walton, who was on the sidelines, saw that the opening tactics were successfully scored. He crossed his arms directly to his chest and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Oh, ordinary people, you know nothing! This tactic seems simple, but in fact it has 5 variations! I can't kill you!"

On the other side, Spoelstra was also surprised that Walton arranged the opening like this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it because Spoelstra was also confident in his own arrangement.

The ball was transferred, and Dragic advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

After Dragic came to the frontcourt, he did not reach out to call for a pick-and-roll, but stretched out his hand to make a gesture. It was obviously a tactic.

After the other Heat players saw this gesture, they all immediately stretched to the three-point line, and the space under the basket instantly became extremely wide.

The Heat did not stand still at the three-point line. Instead, several players moved back and forth to cover the movement, trying to use movement to confuse the Lakers' sight.

And just after Adebayor blocked Crowder, he turned his head and ran directly to the basket.

The Lakers were careless and did not switch defense in place. Dragic showed no mercy and passed the ball directly to the top of the basket.

Adebayor jumped up, caught the ball in the air and dunked directly.

2-2

"Wow! The Heat opened the game with an alley-oop dunk! The Heat are coming with such force!" Barkley couldn't help but cheer for the Heat.

At this time, O'Neal suddenly said: "Did you notice that in the opening game between the Lakers and the Heat, neither of the two stars touched the basketball!"

Barkley and Smith were stunned when they heard this, and only then did they react.

"That's right, the bosses of the two teams actually didn't touch the ball! Both teams are using the boss as bait!"

"Yes! This kind of situation was too rare in the original era!"
