Chapter 1519 Pay tuition to the highest stage

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the south coast of Florida, this is Miami, this is the American Airlines Center, and this is also the scene of the 2012-13 NBA Finals. The Clippers have met, will the Heat successfully defend their title and achieve two consecutive championships, or will the Clippers go all the way, complete a counterattack, and win the first championship of the season~?!, let us wait and see~!!"

With the opening remarks of the ESPN live anchor, the finals began.

Judging from the progress of the first half of the game, the probability of the Heat defending the title seems to be greater.

Whether it is from the team's tactics, the players' game state, or the shooting percentage, the Heat are better.

58: 41.

The Heat had led by 17 points at halftime.

The game showed a one-sided situation.

Since the playoffs this season, the Clippers have never been as passive as they are now.

"This is the true strength of the defending champion~huh~, it's really strong~"

Lan Shengli sighed as he walked towards the locker room.

Is the Clippers really going to hand in their guns and surrender in this game~? ! Let's see if Lan Shengli can create a miracle.

"Now our young players are obviously still too nervous. This won't work~ We should try our best to persuade them to let go. We only got 4 free throws in the first half. There are certain reasons for the referee's scale, but more The big reason is that we didn’t play aggressively enough, there were still too many outside shots, and the opponent’s inside height is actually not very high~!!”

In the locker room, Harper reminded Lan Shengli.

"Hmm~, I thought of this~"

Lan Shengli nodded and responded.

"In the second half, we reduced some outside shots and played more inside shots. The disadvantage of 17 points is not enough to grab a three-pointer desperately. We need to be more resolute~!! On the defensive end, James and Wade's breakthroughs should be as much as possible. It's better not to double-team ~, cut off the passing line, and,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to exhort.

For the Clippers, there may be another thing that is more terrifying than being 17 points behind, that is, Lan Shengli used five small lineups in the second quarter, but it did not achieve good results.

After the Clippers have already used their nirvana, they are still behind by nearly 20 points. Perhaps it is really a gap in pure strength.

The second half of the game started quickly.

"Beep~!!"

"Beep beep~!!"

In the second half, the Clippers did increase their inside offense, played more aggressively, and scored some free throws, but it was indeed too difficult to catch up point by point.

If you want to chase points, the three-pointer is more important.

And there is a more important problem that the Clippers have no way to limit the Heat's offense.

"Duang~!!"

James can still complete unstoppable tomahawk dunks.

"Swipe~!!"

Bosh's mid-range shooting also remained stable.

"Click~!!, Swipe~!!"

Wade's comeback jumper turned over and hit the board.

As long as the Big Three can continue to output firepower, the Clippers will not be able to further catch up with the point difference.

The subsequent games basically turned into garbage time. The Heat basically made no mistakes and did not give the Clippers any possibility of reversal.

115: 96.

The Heat won the first victory in the finals, leading the series 1:0.

This is also the first away game the Clippers have lost in the playoffs this season.

"How do you evaluate the team's offensive and defensive performance tonight~?!"

At the post-match press conference, Lan Shengli sat there with a serious expression, accepting questions.

"Because we lost the game, of course we didn't perform well~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"This game reminds me of the scene when I led the Clippers to the playoffs for the first time three years ago. I was very nervous and excited. I thought of many difficult situations before the game, but in the face of these situations, it seems There's no way to solve it, it's just more entangled~"

Lan Shengli continued to answer.

"Maybe tonight is our Clippers' tuition fee for the finals, the highest level stage in the league~"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"Does the team still have room for adjustment? Is the defense of the opponent's key players not doing well~?!"

The reporter continued to ask.

"Indeed, we didn't do very well. Facts have proved that the level of the finals is not comparable to the previous rounds of playoffs. We adapted to the finals at the cost of losing the first game. I hope we can make a difference." Adjustment~, our coaching staff will discuss it when we go back~, maybe we can be more competitive~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"I think, maybe we can send the fifth little one ahead of time, and increase their appearance time~!!"

"When we have a big center on the field, our return defense is very slow. And it is easy for the opponent to use the pick-and-roll tactics to target~!!"

During the preparation for the second game, the Clippers coaching staff held a meeting and analyzed it.

Coming to a stage like the finals, it can really be said that there is no need to keep it~! !
The second game of the finals started as scheduled.

After the start of the game, the Heat quickly took the initiative again. Heat coach Spoelstra may have guessed that the Clippers would use the fifth player in advance, so he also made player adjustments in advance. Battier, Players such as Ray Allen also debuted in advance.

Although Lan quickly came up with five small lineups after the victory, Spoelstra put on a more exaggerated lineup.

Wade, Ray Allen, Battier, James, Bosh.

Two defenders, three strikers.

Such a lineup quickly and completely restrained the Clippers' five minors.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Battier and Ray Allen hit a three-pointer from the bottom corners on both sides, and the point difference easily broke through double digits again, and they went towards the garbage time.

Perhaps it was also a bit of "seeking medical treatment in a hurry". After Lan Shengli, he used a three-tower lineup. Kaman, Love and Landry were all on the court.

But the effect is very unsatisfactory.

Facing such a lineup, the Heat's mobility has once again been magnified infinitely.

"Duang~!!"

First, James completed the steal, and Wade completed a fast break dunk.

"Duang~!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Wade dribbled the ball and found James who made an air cut to the basket, and the "Janeway Connection" was staged again.

James dunked vigorously, with seamless coordination, and a wonderful alley-oop.

The Clippers are getting further and further away from winning.

109: 94.

The Clippers lost again, and it seems that their tuition fees have not been paid enough.

Or is there really a huge gap in hard power~? !
Can the Clippers bottom out? !
Does Lan Shengli still have an ultimate weapon~? !
