NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 258 Sweep and see sweep again, 40 Heat!

(This week from the 12th to the 16th, I will participate in a training study of the Writers Association, and I have no time to update. I have tried my best to praise the manuscript these days, but the current manuscript is only enough to keep 1 update of 4000 words per day, so there will only be one update in the next five days. What's more, I will bring my computer and send out as many codes as possible when I have the opportunity. I'm sorry, I can resume the normal amount of updates after I come back from training.)
For the Heat, as Wang Chao thought, apart from James, there really isn't any player who can score efficiently to help the team.

Under the defense of Jimmy Butler, Wade's shooting percentage plummeted, and Bosh had to face Wang Chao's marking in the paint.

In other words, James can still maintain a normal offensive efficiency in the face of Leonard's full-time marking.

Two of the Big Three were crushed to death at once, and the situation of the game was completely one-sided.

After the third quarter, the Rockets' main players are already sitting off the court, and the standard three-quarter clock-out game is over.

The Heat fell behind from the beginning to the end, never leading once.

The Rockets have indeed become weaker than last season, but the decline of the Heat is more obvious than that of the Rockets. After all, although Dayao and Garnett have declined with age and injury status on the Rockets side, there is still Renner De, Butler and other rookies are constantly rising and getting better.

On the other hand, for the Heat, only the Big Three can handle them. With the decline of Wade and Bosh, their competitiveness will only continue to decline.

首战20分告负后，火箭队一鼓作气，在6月8日进行的系列赛第二场105:98再胜热火，总比分2:0取得领先。

Unknowingly, the Rockets already have a record, and that is the winning streak at home in the playoffs.

Since the beginning of last season, the Rockets have never lost a game at home in the playoffs. The super high home win rate has made the Rockets' home field, the Toyota Center Arena, one of the devil's home games in the league for the past two years.

But in fact, the pressure of the Rockets' home court is not very strong. There are neither site factors such as the plateau climate nor the crazy fans like the Green Kai's home court. What is really strong is the super combat effectiveness of the Rockets themselves.

In the blink of an eye, they lost two games. The Heat, which had fallen behind 0:2, could not retreat and had to fight their backs at home.

In the third game of the finals, the Heat showed an extremely powerful momentum, and all the players on the team showed their will to fight to the death under desperate circumstances.

James and Wade frequently rushed into the Rockets inside with the ball as if they were carrying dynamite packs to cause damage, including Dayao, Whiteside, Garnett and others who were fouled many times.

As a result, the Heat took the lead in the game for the first time in the series.

"Oops, it seems that the league doesn't want the finals to end so easily. The Heat's home whistle is quite serious, and many body whistles that shouldn't be blown are also blown!"

Some fans immediately discovered the problem. The Heat had a lot of whistles in this game. Several insiders of the Rockets were fouled at least three times in the first half, especially Dayao, who was fouled in the halfway through the first quarter. After getting two fouls, he had to end the game to avoid the limelight.

Without Dayao to overwhelm the inside, the Heat's defensive pressure in the penalty area has been greatly reduced, and Bosh can breathe a long sigh of relief.

It is not only Dayao and other inside players who are affected, but the Rockets' outside players are also restricted to varying degrees.

Leonard, who is good at death entanglement, was called two blocking fouls in a row when defending James, and Butler didn't dare to reach out rashly when facing Wade.

Even Wang Chao is the same.

After Dayao and other insiders left the field, Wang Chao took advantage of the situation and moved to the center position.

Facing the Heat's rebounders, Wang Chao can easily grab offensive rebounds in the penalty area.

However, the referee's whistle followed, which made Wang Chao a little dumbfounded.

The referee called him a foul by pushing someone while grabbing a rebound, but in fact, Wang Chao never had physical contact with anyone when he jumped to grab a rebound.

The league's intention to help the Heat win back is very obvious, and Wang Chao also knows that it is meaningless to argue with the referee by himself, but it will make him anxious and angry.

"It's a bit of a stretch, so I won't go into the main office of the internal line, right?"

Wang Chao didn't intend to follow the wishes of the league. If he could sweep the Heat 3:0 or even 4:0, he would not give up even a game.

After all, this is the finals, and being able to sweep the opponent in the finals is also a very valuable honor. This is completely different from the previous playoff series. After all, throughout the history of the NBA league, the team that can complete the sweeping opponent in the final How many more?

Now that the league is helping the Heat and blowing their whistle, try to distance yourself from your opponents.

Wang Chao's offensive methods are not limited to just one or two.

In the first half of the game, under the blessing of the home team, the Heat led the Rockets by 57 points at 44:13 in the half.

But in the third quarter of the second half of the game, Wang Chao began to change his style of play. The Rockets began to frequently perform pick-and-roll screens outside the three-point line.

Wang Chao holds the ball and sits at the top arc of the three-point line. As long as James in front of him relaxes a bit, he will immediately score a three-pointer.

The players of the Rockets and the Heat seldom even have the opportunity to get close to each other when they are running all over the field. The Heat can't keep up with the pace of the Rockets' outside players. At least Bosh inside is the most powerless one. .

The Rockets' players are also competitive enough, and they can almost seize the opportunity for any open shots.

Throughout the third quarter of the game, the Rockets made 20 crazy shots from outside the three-point line, hit 9 goals, scored 27 points from the three-pointer alone, and scored 34 points in a single quarter, directly closing the point difference to within 5 points!
The Heat were completely stunned by the Rockets' unreasonable three-pointers. When the Rockets deployed a super five-forward lineup, no matter how hard the Heat tried their best, they couldn't completely block the Rockets' outside shots unless they put the 1 meter tall Chalmers and 88 meters 2 Bosh all replaced.

Chalmers is because his height is too low. None of the Rockets players on the court is less than 2 meters tall. Due to his height, he has no way to form effective defensive interference.

Bosh's mobility as an insider is relatively poor. In fact, Bosh's speed has been considered outstanding among the insiders, and his footsteps are very flexible.

Whether it is Wang Chao, Leonard or Chandler Parsons, the speed is not comparable to Bosh. If you want to get rid of Bosh's defense, you only need a wide range of lateral movement and teammates' One off-ball screen is enough.

Chalmers can go off the field, just let Wade or James control the ball, but if Bosh goes off the field, what should the Heat do with the inside?
Therefore, in theory, the Heat cannot completely block the Rockets' three-point shooting. Just like the future Warriors, everyone says that as long as they defend three-pointers, they will be fine. It is still one of the teams with the most three-pointers and the highest shooting percentage in the league.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. In the fourth quarter of the game, Yao, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time, returned to the game due to the number of fouls. Yao, who was full of anger, vented all his anger on the Heat basketball team. on the basket.

All kinds of small hooks and throws defeated the Heat.

Only 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, Dayao made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points in a row.

The last bit of the Heat's lead was also wiped out in Dayao's scoring streak.

During this period, James and Wade continued to attack the frame with the ball to cause damage, but Wade's injury eventually affected his ability to break through with the ball, so the main force of attacking the frame was James.

As we all know, James, known for his versatility, has a very obvious shortcoming, that is, as an outside player, his free throw percentage is not high. Throughout his career, his free throw percentage is only in the early 70s.

所谓的罚球在很多时候对于詹姆斯而言都是1分球，他最擅长打的2+1也被不少球迷们戏称为2+0。

Even if James gets a lot of free throw opportunities, the scoring efficiency is still not as high as the Rockets' three-pointers combined with Dayao's unsolvable inside scoring.

What's more helpless is that the Rockets still have a lot of inside players. There are Dayao, Garnett, Whiteside and Gobert, who can be rotated. No one is available.

Taking a step back, even if the four inside players all leave the field with 6 fouls, Wang Chao can still play center forward.

The Heat's home fans could only watch in despair as the Heat's score advantage was eroded a little bit in the second half, and finally fell behind by more than 5 points.

This is the stark difference in strength. Even with the bias of the home whistle, the difference in strength between the two teams still prevents the Heat from winning the game.

101: 97.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the scores of the two teams were frozen. The Rockets won the Heat's home court by 4 points, won the third game of the finals, and rewritten the big score to 3:0.

The whole game can be described as the ultimate competition of 1-pointers and 3-pointers.

热火全场罚球数高达46次，其中光詹姆斯一个人便罚球出手21次，可以在NBA总决赛历史中排名第四，与05-06赛季总决赛第六场的韦德，01-02赛季总决赛第一场的奥尼尔以及96-97赛季总决赛第二场的乔丹并列。

Correspondingly, the Rockets made 47 crazy shots from outside the three-point line, which is more than the Heat's free throws. The Rockets made 47 of 21 shots and made 44.7% of their three-pointers. They scored 63 points from three-pointers alone!
Facts have proved that three-pointers are more accurate than free throws...

The score of 3:0 has already announced in advance that the Rockets successfully defended the championship. After all, there has never been a team in history that can come back from 0:3, and the referee's home whistle in the third game of the finals has been so exaggerated. To the extent that the Heat failed to win the game, it is useless to give you a chance.

The referee has helped to such an extent that there is no way to win the game. How can the Heat have a chance to reverse the game?

After three games, the Heat can actually start preparing for next season.

In the summer of 2014, the contracts of the Heat's Big Three will expire at the same time.

In the past four years of the Big Three of the Heat, one thing to say is not a success.

Gathered three top three superstars in the league at the time plus an all-star combination, and only won one championship in four years. Neither the team's management nor the three stars themselves were obviously dissatisfied. Especially James.

As the chosen one, a superstar who many people think will rule the league in the future, James' goal is to be the best in history, and he wants to attack Jordan's historical status.

But so far his honors have been lackluster, not to mention being compared with Jordan, even Kobe can’t compare. After all, although Kobe was also affected by Wang Chao and lost a championship, he still has 4 championships in his hand after all. With the three consecutive championships won by O'Neal, Kobe and James have just the same honor, a regular season MVP, a championship plus FMVP.

Looking at the current Heat team, there will be no hope of winning the championship in the future. Wade's state is declining too fast, Bosh is always unable to stand up at critical moments, and James is alone. There will be another chance to win.

Likewise, both Wade and Bosh need to think about their futures.

At this time, the finals are not over yet, but the Heat's management and players have different thoughts, how can they have the mind to deal with the next game?

On June 6th, in the fourth game of the Finals, all members of the Heat team sitting at home were sleepwalking. The Rockets seized the opportunity to score a wave of 12:12 at the beginning of the game, and then the difference between the two teams remained at two. digits or more.

Halfway through the game, most of the Heat's home fans had dispersed.

No one wants to witness the scene of other teams winning the championship at home, and this scene is so familiar. At almost the same time last year, the fans of the Heat watched the same scene at home. The Heat were also defeated by the Rockets. The team simply and neatly swept 4:0.

Who would have thought that after a year, the result would be exactly the same.

Facing the same opponent, the result is exactly the same. Is the strength gap between the two really that big?
103: 85.

This is the final score of the fourth game of the two teams.

Heat here, James scored 28 points and 8 rebounds in vain, Wade and Bosh were only 10 points and 12 points.

In fact, for the Rockets, Wang Chao and Dayao's two core offensive points did not score high. Wang Chao only had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and Dayao scored 15 points and 7 rebounds.

It's not that the two of them don't feel good, but that they play too little time.

Dayao only played in the first half, and Wang Chao only played less than 5 minutes in the third quarter of the second half.

Five of the Rockets scored in double figures, which is a world of difference from the Heat.

For these young Rockets players, the Heat's management and general manager Pat Riley's saliva is about to flow out.

The same team, why the gap is so big?

It would be fine if the Rockets were all high-ranking rookies, but only Leonard is a rookie near the lottery zone. Others such as Butler and Middleton are at the end of the first round. Chandler Parsons And Thomas Jr. is the second round, even the Heat once had a full chance to win.

But the fact is that the Heat didn't get any, or that no other team in the league got it. These young rookies with good potential were all monopolized by the Rockets. How can there be any reason for this?
