NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

The perfect performance of both players in the sixth game, coupled with the fact that the referee did not interfere with it, made this game the highest-rated game since the playoffs, bar none!

The second half of the game also started with the fans waiting anxiously. The Heat and Wizards changed into the starting lineups of both sides in a tacit understanding. At this time, the rotation should be shortened and the starting lineup should be dead, otherwise the boss will give the stars and main players so much money. , why does the coach give them such a high tactical status?

As the saying goes, it takes raising an army for a thousand days but using it for a while. Now is the time to fight for the starting lineup to see which side can't withstand it first.

James is indeed a guy with the best body in history. He rested for a few minutes in the first half, and when he came on the court, he basically tried his best to break through to the basket. Even if there was a defender on him at the right time, he still had to go to the basket. This way of playing Most people's legs will become weak after one game, but James was still lively in the second half!

Fortunately, the Wizards also have a physical monster, and Li Kaiming played obviously much more easily than James in the first half. It can be seen from the assist data that James mainly scored by himself tonight, while Li Kaiming When you have a good opportunity, you hit it by yourself, and when your teammates have an opportunity, they pass it to their teammates.

However, just because he is a physical monster does not mean that his teammates are physical monsters. This rule also holds true for James' teammates.

Especially after the high-intensity airtight defense in the last few minutes of the first half, the physical strength of the players on the field was already a little red. Even after a twenty-minute rest, they could only take a breath and could not be eliminated at all. The physical loss and fatigue caused by high-intensity competition.

So in the third quarter, the game became a game between the two teams. Only Li Kaiming and James could score. At the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied again at 64. Even Zhang Weiping in the broadcast area sighed. , Today’s game is really good to watch. This is the first time the two teams have tied!

During the break, Li Kaiming only felt that the sweat on his head had never stopped, and his body also sent fatigue signals that had not appeared for a long time. When his consciousness entered the system a little, he could find that at some point, the fatigue level had already reached At 50, the color is slightly more orange-red.

This is the first time that Li Kaiming's fatigue level has exceeded 95 after he upgraded his physical strength to 50. This shows the high intensity of tonight's game and the strong physical confrontation between the two sides!

Sanders had no good solution at this time. In the first four games of a series, the coach's tactical role was greater than the performance of the players. After four games, both sides almost knew each other thoroughly and what tactics they could come up with. I have basically figured it out. In this case, the next few games will basically depend on the player's level.

The coach can only ensure that the average level represented by a team's lineup is brought out. At the critical stage, it is the team's superstar players who can finalize the game.

Even those coaches at a historical level will completely leave the game to their favorite disciples at this moment, and then wait for the result of the game on the sidelines. The same is true for Sanders tonight.

In the last quarter of the game, Li Kaiming led the five foreign lineups to go out again, and the opponent also came up with their own five small lineups tit for tat. The two sides launched a life-and-death struggle around the last quarter!

There is no doubt that the protagonists of this quarter are still Li Kaiming and James.

James' performance tonight was impeccable. Not only was his basic tank breakthrough as solid as an old dog, but even his usually most criticized shooting was a dumpling. He even made 3 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. James is unable to defend in this situation.

Leonard could only make it as difficult as possible for James so that he could use up more energy. But what surprised Leonard and Sanders was that even Leonard, who was only responsible for defense, was a little tired. , James actually didn’t see any signs of tiredness!

The game soon came to the last five minutes. At this time, the score between the two sides was 80 to 78. In the fourth quarter, the physical strength of both sides dropped, and the defensive intensity was much lower than in the second and third quarters. James and Li Kaiming took the opportunity to take more shots. , got a lot of points.

However, in the last five minutes of the game, Li Kaiming was able to upgrade once, but the opposite Heat team had no chance to improve.

When the Wizards attacked, Li Kaiming went to the frontcourt and directly took the basketball from Hinrich's hand. The rest of the Wizards were far away. The Heat did not dare to double-team rashly and could only let Bosh defend alone.

Bosh also lowered his center of gravity in fear, and made a gesture to James with the back of his hand, asking him to help him defend.

Li Kaiming launched the ball. Facing Bosh, he first made two small changes of direction in front of his body to find a rhythm and confuse Bosh. After Bosh's center of gravity began to move, Li Kaiming suddenly made a large change of direction and passed the ball from The left hand was switched to the right hand, and Bosh gritted his teeth and followed.

But it was not over yet. After the ball reached his right hand, Li Kaiming connected with a right-hand push to the left. The advantage of this change of direction is that it is much faster than the normal change of direction and is more unexpected.

Sure enough, Bosh didn't expect that Li Kaiming's change of direction would have a back-up move, and he was directly passed by Li Kaiming's breakthrough from the left. James behind him was already ready to help defend. As long as Li Kaiming went inside, he would double team him front and back. Or he was pulled down for a deliberate foul.

But Li Kaiming didn't shoot a three-pointer, nor did he hit the basket. The half court was so big, why did he have to shoot a three-pointer or a layup?

The middle distance is the weapon of God! The space from the basket to the three-point line is actually the sweet spot of the half-court offense. This does not mean that shooting in this area will allow players to achieve higher efficiency. On the contrary, compared to three-pointers and layups, Mathematically speaking, mid-range shooting is the least efficient!

But when talking about efficiency, one thing that cannot be denied is that in this huge area, no tactic can completely block mid-range shots. Shots from outside the three-point line can be defended or even double-teamed to force the ball. The inside can be stacked up to defend, and only the mid-range can be used. Except for the player's individual defense, there is no way to prevent a player who is determined to make a mid-range shot.

This is also the secret why outside defenders like Jordan and Kobe can win championships. Especially Jordan, as a physically gifted man, can also polish his mid-range to the best level in history. This is also his performance in the finals. Greater than the playoffs, the reason why the performance in the playoffs is greater than the regular season.

When it comes to the real-life stage with increased intensity, outside three-pointers and inside layups are strictly guarded. Only the mid-range is the best weapon to show the player's killer qualities!

So after passing Bosh, Li Kaiming did not stay outside the three-point line to look for opportunities, because he knew it was a waste of time, and the Heat would never let him throw an open three-pointer.

He rushed directly to the three-point line, and then stopped to take a mid-range shot against James who was coming to defend him!

James was not ready to jump to defend, and his movement was a beat slow, and Li Kaiming easily hit!

It was tied at 80, and the two sides were tied again with 4 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game!

The Heat served, and after reaching the frontcourt, James asked for the ball at the waist, and then rushed to the basket with Leonard like a bull in heat. Li Kaiming assisted the protective frame, but James was still able to score!

Cheers erupted at the Heat's home court! The commentators on the scene shouted James' name, because James had already scored 40 points at this time!

The Wizards served, and this time Bosh stayed close to prevent Li Kaiming from catching the ball from the outside. So Li Kaiming changed his mind and began to run without the ball to find opportunities. Leonard's pick-and-roll created an opportunity for him, taking advantage of James and Bosh to switch defenses. In time, Li Kaiming successfully received the ball at the other waist.

But this time he didn't dribble or pass the ball after receiving the ball. After receiving the ball, he turned around and leaned back, and then hit the target against the defense of James and Bosh!

82 square meters! The two sides played inextricably, and no team could open up the gap!

The Heat served, and after James received the ball, he was double-teamed by Thompson and Leonard. The ball was passed to Wade on the outside, but Thompson was in place quickly, and Wade did not dare to take action at this time. A reliable three-pointer.

So Wade changed direction and leaned on Thompson to attack the basket. In the end, he missed the layup. Li Kaiming protected the rebound and dribbled the ball past half court.

There were more than 3 minutes left on the clock. Li Kaiming stopped for a moment on the outside and gestured to his teammates to pull away again. The Wizards players did pull away, but the Heat didn't seem to want to give Li Kaiming a chance to challenge Bosh. James directly In the past, double teams forced Li Kaiming to play the ball.

Of course Li Kaiming would not hit hard in this situation, because it is easy to lose the ball and make a mistake, so he passed the ball to Leonard, who had already cut inside the three-point line.

The Heat's defense was rotating, and Leonard passed the ball to Hinrich on the outside. The latter caught the ball and shot a three-pointer against the defense. As the crisp sound of the net brushing sounded, tens of thousands of people in the American Airlines Arena Celebrity fans are breathless!

This is the first time since the last five minutes that the score difference between the two sides is greater than 2. The Heat players are afraid that this is a prelude to an overturn.

Coach Spoelstra on the sidelines also clenched his hands, and the hand holding the tactical board trembled slightly. On the court, the Heat had passed the ball to James. After the latter dribbled the ball through half court, he chose again in the face of Leonard's defense. Using his body to force the attack, Leonard naturally couldn't withstand it. After breaking through to the basket, Li Kaiming went to help defend. James ignored the defense and forced a layup. Li Kaiming took off on the spot and made a big block, and slapped the ball cleanly!

however……

beep!

The bottom line referee blew the whistle. James got two free throw opportunities and successfully made them. The point difference became 1 point again with 3 minutes left.

The Wizards served, and Li Kaiming directly started to catch the ball from the baseline. All the fans at the American Airlines Arena stood up and booed continuously under the leadership of the DJ on site. At the same time, tens of thousands of people shouted "defense" in unison. The Wizards players in the stadium I just felt a majestic pressure coming over me.

Also pressing the rhythm, when he saw 11 seconds flashing on the timer, Li Kaiming started dribbling to prepare for the attack. The Heat tried to double-team again to force the ball. Li Kaiming repeated his old tricks and passed to Leonard. This time the Heat's outside line The rotation was so good that Leonard could only take one step in the penalty area. The basketball hit the backboard, bounced back and rolled around the basket, and finally fell in!

84 is better than 87!

On the sidelines, Spoelstra had never felt his heart beat so fast. He double-teamed Li Kaiming for two rounds, but the opponent scored both times. Was he still double-teamed?

This choice is to think about heaven and hell. If you succeed and win the game, if you fail, you will become a laughing stock. Does Spoelstra dare to gamble?

The Heat attacked, and James' breakthrough route was blocked, but he once again hit a lame mid-range shot to help the Heat bite the score. There were already voices calling James MVP.

The Wizards directly passed the ball to Li Kaiming. After arriving in the frontcourt, the Wizards had not yet started to run their tactics. Spoelstra's Adam's apple on the sideline rolled up and down, and then a trace of determination flashed in his eyes!

"Come on! Double-team me!"

The Heat players on the court were stunned for a moment, but they still rushed towards Li Kaiming. Li Kaiming scored the ball again, but this time, with a crisp sound of iron, Si Bo let out a long breath, and Sang on the other end Des clenched his fists...

Perhaps it was due to too much pressure on the road, or perhaps too much physical exertion in the front. The Wizards players failed to respond to the Heat's emptying. Instead, they became more and more courageous as they fought against each other, and finally won the game 98-95, a big score. The tie was 3 to 3!

The series has come to its final game!
