Chapter 286 A Calm Trading Market6600 Words Chapter(2/2)
Wade was well prepared, but he was still crushed by Li Ze into the left block with his body. He saw Li Ze suddenly use his right foot as the axis and pull the ball backwards with his left hand.
Wade's defense paused slightly, and before he had time to react, Li Ze quickly twisted his body forward and shot a mid-range fadeaway jumper!
"Whoa!" The two-point ball was hit steadily.
"Shh!"
Hearing the huge boos that broke out at the scene, Li Ze just quickly retreated with a smile on his face. This seemingly random choice of action was actually very confident for him.
Facing the short defender, he was no longer interested in doing any fancy moves, just shoot! If Wade hadn't been so strong, Li Ze would have directly turned on the strong attack mode, waiting for the [First Step Master] badge to return.
Waiting for him to gain experience.
In the first offensive round, fragments of past battles began to reappear in Wade's mind, and he couldn't help but secretly cursed that being tall would be great!
The Heat's offense was also very clear. In the first round, LeBron James asked for the ball directly from the right wing outside the three-point line.
Looking at Griffin in front of him, James directly chose a tank breakthrough. After a simple triple threat, he held the ball in his right hand and accelerated with all his strength.
Naturally, head coach De Nagro would not let James lead his teammates, so others continued to mark their defenders.
James, who was breaking through, naturally discovered the Clippers' plan, but he didn't care. Like a speeding tank, he resisted Griffin's defense and scored two points from the basket!
Regarding such a star's ability, the Heat fans at the scene were screaming as they rushed inside and crushed Griffin. This scene was exactly what the fans were looking forward to!
In the Clippers' offense, Griffin began to perform a hand-off pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. After Billups handed over the ball, he cut away the defense immediately.
Li Ze started from the right corner and quickly reached the top of the arc to receive Griffin's pass. After completing the pass, Griffin went down again.
After receiving the pass at the top of the arc, facing Wade's defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, then accelerated with all his strength while holding the ball in his right hand.
Different from previous breakthroughs, Li Ze did not cut in with all his strength, but took advantage of the defensive pressure from Wade's side to consciously adjust his stride.
When he broke through to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Li Ze suddenly changed his rhythm and suddenly took a big step forward with his left foot. Then he exerted force with his foot, quickly connected the ball, twisted his body, and shot a fadeaway jumper that drifted to the right.
!
"Shua!" The two-point ball hit again!
"A very exciting pull-up fadeaway jumper. Compared with previous seasons, Kayce's ability to combine the ball and shooting has improved!"
Reggie Miller, who has been paying attention to Li Ze, is very aware of the changes in his skills this season. Except for three-pointers, Li Ze rarely relies on step-back jumpers to create space for his shots. In the mid-range, Li Ze has become more concise.
Efficient.
In just two rounds, Wade was a little numb and couldn't defend! He didn't even know how to defend effectively.
If he sticks too close, he may even be passed by with one step. If he stays too far, he may be pulled out directly. And with such a close distance, he was forced to throw twice. In both attacks, Wade did not make any move.
Any defensive reaction.
As a Heat team that has frequently played against Li Ze, head coach Spoelstra saw Wade's situation and immediately made a gesture to indicate that Battier would defend the next round.
In the next few minutes, Coach Spoelstra was a little helpless. The Clippers' defensive strategy was very obvious. They were trying to kill three-pointers. After being defeated by the Warriors for two consecutive games, Coach Gennagro also began to pay attention to it.
A three-pointer.
LeBron James played very well. Facing a defender like Griffin, he made full use of his speed and scored points at the basket for several consecutive rounds.
The same is true for Chalmers. Facing the defense of veteran Billups, he also suddenly became popular. A simple pick-and-roll at the 5th position can always achieve good results.
When there were 5 minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 19:14, and the Heat, who were playing well, were 5 points behind.
It was another pick-and-roll at position 5. Chalmers went straight to the basket facing Jordan, who was switching defenses. Finally, under interference, the ball hit the basket!
Jordan easily collected the rebound and gave the ball to Li Ze immediately. At this time, the Clippers had replaced veteran Ray Allen and Billups, and Li Ze moved to the No. 1 position.
.
The Heat's small lineup retreated quickly, but Li Ze didn't care. He simply made an offensive gesture and then slowly moved through the half court.
At this time, the Heat's defense was already a little overwhelmed. In order to limit the Clippers' big man, the Heat defended Li Ze alone throughout the first half. As a result, he was beaten 4 of 5 from the mid-range.
In the last few counterattacks, the Clippers easily took the lead.
Battier, who switched to Lee Ze, saw Jordan directly move up to the top of the arc, and suddenly became numb. Haslem also hesitated at this time.
But sometimes, hesitation can lead to bad things. In a simple pick-and-roll, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. The moment Jordan passed down, Haslem's defense was half a beat slow. Although he still stayed in front of Jordan, this
This time, Jordan easily reached a deep position.
Just as he raised his hand to ask for the ball, Li Ze's pass arrived immediately. Jordan, who was receiving the ball, was too close to the basket and ignored Haslem's defense. He caught the ball under the basket and made a one-handed dunk.
!
"Boom!" Dunk from the basket!
"ah!!"
After succeeding in the dunk, Jordan shouted loudly, and the Clippers bench was filled with joy.
Coach Spoelstra frowned. The Clippers' tactics were almost a stabbing tactic, allowing LeBron James to stab the basket in a competition to see who could score more consistently.
James naturally discovered this. The Clippers had no help in defense, so scoring was easy and simple. However, the Heat played awkwardly against others. Without the flying cake, they lacked the ability to attack independently, so they could only open up space and sit on the sidelines.
Stand.
What makes James most speechless is that the Clippers rarely shoot three-pointers. After hitting the iron in the mid-range, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan can still rush for the ball. Until now in the first quarter, the Heat's iconic fast break has also failed.
Gone.
After Chalmers passed half court, the Clippers teamed up to defend 1 on 1. Wade immediately stepped forward to catch the ball, and then immediately played a pick-and-roll with Haslem at the 5th position.
Unlike Billups, who has old arms and legs, Li Ze is now getting better and better at squeezing through pick-and-rolls. He lowers his body center of gravity in advance. When Wade notices Wade's sudden move to the left, Li Ze opens the way with his right shoulder and nimbly passes between the two.
squeeze through.
Haslem was still too short and not thick enough, making it impossible for Wade to get rid of Li Ze's entanglement.
Maybe it was because he was unhappy in the first quarter. This time Wade attacked very resolutely, holding the ball with his left hand and accelerating with all his strength, soaring into the air in the paint area, and shooting arrows on horseback while leaning back to the extreme!
Although he completely dodged Li Ze's block, he was still disturbed in the end. The ball hit the front edge and the rebound was protected by Griffin. Li Ze quickly caught the ball after landing and immediately launched a transition attack.
Before Wade, who had just fallen to the floor, had time to complain to the referee, he discovered that Li Ze had already accelerated wildly and rushed past half-court.
LeBron James returned to defense with all his strength. Li Ze took aim at the defense behind him, but still did not give up the acceleration. The two stepped into the paint area one after another. Facing James' pursuit behind him, Li Ze certainly would not slam dunk.
, but jumped up and threw the ball onto the backboard.
Li Ze and James landed almost at the same time. Griffin, who was behind them, jumped up high, received the pass from the board and moved the ball around, and then easily made a powerful and heavy one-handed slam.
buckle!
"Boom!" The conversion dunk was successful!
In the face of huge boos at the scene, Griffin thumped his chest after landing, showing extremely excitement!
"Hey! Be patient! The game has just begun!"
While serving from the baseline, LeBron James began to loudly remind his teammates, which also helped the Heat stabilize their emotions. After all, they were also constantly scoring.
Li Ze was substituted with 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the first quarter. He made 5 of 7 in a single quarter and 2 of 2 free throws. He easily scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists.
At the end of the first quarter, at 32:27, the Clippers led by 5 points.
LeBron James played the entire first quarter, and in the second quarter, Wade naturally took the lead.
Norris Cole and Wade partnered in the backcourt, with James Jones and Rashard Lewis on the front line, and center Chris Anderson.
As for the Clippers, the second quarter was led by Crawford and Griffin, plus Bledsoe, Barnes and Turiaf.
As a result, less than half a quarter later, the Heat directly took the lead. Crawford hit the iron several times and immediately allowed the Heat to launch a signature counterattack. Wade finally let out a bad breath.
Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena screamed with excitement when they saw this scene!
When coach Denagro saw something was wrong, he immediately replaced Li Ze and the main lineup in advance. Coach Spoelstra also immediately replaced James, and the two sides began to enter the stage of responding to the ball.
Throughout the second quarter, both sides made few mistakes and had very few transition attacks. Obviously, neither side intended to give their opponents an easy chance to score.
In this case, the Heat, which has two engines, still has the advantage. At the end of the half, the two sides tied at 58:61, with the Clippers trailing by three points.
Once the Heat take advantage of the mutual stabbing tactics, the Clippers will feel a little uncomfortable!
Chris Paul took off his jacket as he watched from the sidelines. He returned to the locker room at midfield and began to encourage his teammates loudly:
"I know LeBron. His shooting state cannot remain so efficient for a whole game. If he scored 61 points in the half, the Heat's shooting percentage will definitely drop in the second half!"
"Hold on for another 24 minutes! We will win the game!"
Li Ze sat in his seat and looked at the technical statistics of LeBron James, who made 8 of 8 in the half, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, 19 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
Losing for two consecutive years has had a huge impact on James. This guy really focused on shooting.
"Isn't there a butterfly effect in this matter? This person has completely evolved into a complete body this year?"
