Chapter 909 Whose Stage Is It?
"Let Durant spend more time on the defensive end, completely let go of Rondo, and not give Yes any offensive space!"
"The Miami Heat have found the key to victory in this series!"
Kenny Smith is excited right now.
When James apologized for being undercover, many people thought that this game would be a turning point in the series.
Kenny Smith thinks so too.
He has always believed that in the finals between the Heat and the SuperSonics, except for James being undercover, he really didn't know why the Heat lost to the SuperSonics!
"Now, the game is finally back on track!"
On the right track!
Why is it that if the Heat are ahead and the Heat are in control of the situation, it is on the right track, but if the Sonics are in the lead and the SuperSonics are in control of the situation, it is not on the right track? !
Buckley was tempted to argue.
But just like he doesn't have a championship, every time he is ridiculed, his rebuttal not only fails to earn him dignity, but even makes him lose more dignity!
He knows too well that in the current game situation, if the Sonics are only at a slight disadvantage, he can still use his eloquence to change something.
The key is that now the Seattle SuperSonics are really not just at a slight disadvantage, but completely at a disadvantage!
Halfway through the first quarter, the score on the court is now 16-24!
In just half a quarter of the game, the Seattle SuperSonics fell behind by eight points!
After watching this half of the game, no one would think that such a score difference is abnormal.
Some people may even think that the Seattle SuperSonics may lose more in this half of the game!
In the previous two games, the Sonics scored more than 35 points in the first quarter. At the beginning of this game, not only did the offense have problems, but the defense also had huge problems!
In the first half of the first quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics failed very badly!
If Durant hadn't used his giant swing to stun Bosh twice in the first half of the quarter and get five free throw opportunities from the outside, the Sonics would have lost even more miserably in the first half of the first quarter.
Don't think that just because the SuperSonics scored 16 points in the first half, there is no problem with the offense.
In the game between the SuperSonics and the Heat, the pace was set very fast by the Heat.
With such a fast pace, except for Durant's five free throws, which scored five points, and Yes's four free throws, which scored four points, the Sonics scored only a meager 7 points in the entire half of the quarter!
In the first half of the first quarter, there were really only a handful of SuperSonics goals. Durant scored 1 of 2 and scored a three-pointer. Milicic scored 1 of 3. Two points, Rondo made 0 of 5, missed one, Millsap scored 1 of 2, yes, 0 of 0, no shot in the mobile game.
It was really miserable to allow the opponent to score 24 points in less than half a quarter, but compared with the offense of 3 of 12 in the half quarter, the defense that allowed the opponent to score 24 points in the half quarter was not necessarily so miserable!
"Now Nelson needs to find a way to break the Heat's strategy of letting James play as a free agent!"
"In this game, James is not only a free man on the defensive end, but also a free man on the offensive end. On the defensive end, James has given the Heat a lot of defensive flexibility. No matter who is out of position on defense, James can help defend and make up for it. In place, this allows the Heat defensive players to increase intensity against Yes and Durant without any scruples. Durant and Yes made a lot of free throws in the first quarter, but exchanging such intensity and free throws for the Sonics' poor offense is worth it!"
"This is the value of James's game on the defensive end. On the offensive end, James' value is also huge. Rondo's outrageous strikes,
Most of the rebounds were taken away by James. The fast break connection between James and Wade is the reason why the pace of this game is so fast! "
"In addition, Durant did not play Yes on the offensive end like he did in the first two games. Instead, he focused on suppressing Durant and Millsap on the offensive end, making Durant and Millsap very uncomfortable. , Although Durant's offense has been affected, it is still okay. He has many methods. Millsap looks worse than the previous two games!"
"Scoring, rebounding, organizing, and linking up, after the start of this game, James is almost omnipotent. In this game, James showed that he has the same perfect abilities as Yes!"
"I believe that if Yes is not double-teamed, he will definitely be able to show the same or even more abilities as James. But unfortunately, the Heat are stronger than the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics do not dare to double-team James because James' teammates They are all giants, and Yes’s teammate includes Rondo, so the Heat can attack Yes unscrupulously!”
"The reality is so cruel. Yes is stronger than LeBron James, but because his teammates are stronger and the wind can open up space for him, LeBron James is the most shining person in this game, even more shining than Yes!"
"This game is a stage that belongs to James!"
"After this game, this round of the finals will also enter James' stage show time!"
The game entered the official timeout, and the ultra-fast rhythm of the game came to a halt because of the timeout. Commentators from all over the world, who were previously shocked by the game's over-tempo, were able to take time out at this time. Excited commentators commented on this game. Views of the game.
Regardless of nationality or language, the content is almost the same.
That is, the Seattle SuperSonics are very, very pessimistic right now.
In fact, on the Seattle SuperSonics bench.
The SuperSonics players are indeed feeling quite uncomfortable right now.
From the first quarter of this game until now, the Sonics have been really uncomfortable.
Durant was forced to use his big loop at the bottom of the box.
Durant's giant loop has always been known to the Sonics as something that is not used until critical moments.
Just like Yes shoelace Yes.
If Shoelace Yes is the real bottom line for the Seattle SuperSonics, then Durant, who does whatever it takes to score, is the other bottom line for the Seattle SuperSonics.
The crisis is felt by everyone.
The key is how to survive this crisis now.
In the past, when the Sonics encountered a crisis, Yes was the one to solve it, but now Yes is being attacked so hard.
Rondo was useless and could not save Yes through his own performance. Instead, his poor performance of 0-for-4 from beyond the three-point line and 0-for-5 in total made the Heat's defense against Yes even tighter. Wade and Ben Gordon is almost hung up on Yes.
The stronger Rondo becomes, the more uncomfortable Yes becomes.
Although Rondo was strong most of the time, in this game, Rondo was already strong. Naturally, Yes was also pinched by the Heat's life-threatening defense!
The Sonics lost Yes' ability to solve problems, and Durant did not have enough problem-solving abilities.
In this game, the defensive end has to be against James, and the offensive end has to be assisted by Bosh and James. Durant's performance is already very good.
In the first half of the game, he made 1 of 2 and scored 8 points on 5 of 5 free throws. This is very, very qualified, and he scored half of the Sonics' points.
The point is, it’s useless!
Against other teams, Durant's performance and the SuperSonics' 16-point half-quarter performance can bite any team. Durant can guarantee the team's bottom line.
But the key is, this is the Heat!
The Heat, the strongest team in the NBA, can score 24 points in half a quarter!
If it weren't for Durant, the SuperSonics would have collapsed in half a quarter!
It can be said that with the SuperSonics playing like this in the first quarter, Yes cannot be asked to do more. The Heat really put up the most life-threatening defense this time, a defense they have never encountered before, and Durant has also already It's done well enough.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame the other Sonics players for not having good independent offensive capabilities. If you want to blame it, blame the Heat for being too strong!
The SuperSonics bench is very silent now, and Ye Si is frowning and trying to think of a way. If his 94 save touch was not used against the Mavericks, it would be the best weapon at this time.
But if he didn't use his 94-handle card in the tiebreaker with the Mavericks, he and his team would most likely not make it to the finals.
Now Ye Si is thinking of ways, but there are not many.
Facing the Heat's unscrupulous defense, with Rondo's iron support, unless he staggers around and throws the ball under the tightest attack of Wade and Ben Gordon every time.
With his current strength, even if he takes the most difficult shot, he still has a decent shooting percentage, but such efficiency is a drop in the bucket and may even be counterproductive.
When the Heat players see him follow suit, the Heat's momentum will rise and their morale will increase dramatically!
Some people just hope that the other party will resist, so that it will be more exciting and interesting, and it will also stimulate their bestiality.
He can still remain intimidating even if he doesn't take action. At least the Heat players can still feel uneasy in their hearts. No matter how angry the Heat fans are, they will not dare to do it completely because of the sword hanging over their heads. Explode.
At the same time, Sonics players can also have a line of defense in their hearts that they can stick to without collapsing.
,
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Ye Si would not dare to risk his life by wandering around like that.
It's a game where if you win, you continue, if you lose, you collapse.
The whole world says that Ye Si is a domineering person who likes to gamble his life. He is the God of ultimate kills. If he doesn’t like gambling, James might become the God of ultimate kills? Why can't James become the god of kills?
But Ye Si knew that he was actually a very cautious person, and even sometimes overly cautious to the point of being boring.
Just when Ye Si was frowning about how to break the situation.
Nelson, who had been silent since the timeout, actually spoke...
"Rajan, you will still be the main attacker in the next game."
Old Nelson's voice was soft.
The expression on Rondo's face was a little confused. In fact, after Nelson spoke, the expressions of the Sonics players present were a little confused.
Rondo was so determined in the first half of the quarter, and Rondo was still allowed to attack?
At this time, everyone looked at Old Nelson strangely.
Does Mr. Nelson think that Yes's double-teaming is not tight enough?
Or do you think Rondo is not embarrassed enough?
Want to completely embarrass Rondo?
Mr. Nelson, is this paving the way for me to rise to power? !
Except for James Harden next to Barea, whose honest and honest beard was a little excited, the other Sonics players were very puzzled.
"However, Rajon, after the timeout, I don't want you to continue shooting from outside the three-point line or from mid-to-long range."
Ignoring the confusion from the surrounding Sonics players, Nelson continued.
"I hope you can take the ball to the basket, stick to the ball as much as possible, and try to go directly to the basket to complete the layup. If you have to pass the ball, when you really can't dribble or attack anymore, you can pass it again. ball."
When Nelson said this, the Sonics players who were originally confused were already dumbfounded.
Just let Rondo play the main offense, but let Rondo stick to the ball to challenge James and Chandler? !
Isn't Mr. Nelson suffering from Alzheimer's disease again?
"Rajan, I believe you can understand what it is that you can no longer dribble or attack. As for whether you can pass the ball on the most dangerous edge, I believe that with your intelligence Passing ability, you can do it too.”
Nelson still ignored the other Sonics players who looked at him like he was an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He knew that there was no malicious intent in the eyes of his players.
,
Don't look at these young guys criticizing him crazily with their eyes, but these cute young guys will carry out his every order.
This is a very, very tactical group of kids.
"KD, Darko, and Paul, I hope that when you go on the court later, you can involve more running on the offensive end, no matter whether there is a problem on the defensive end, no matter what the rhythm of the game is, what the situation is. You don’t have to worry about anything. On the offensive end, don’t stay where you are. Move regardless of whether you have the ball or not.”
The reminder that the long timeout was over had already sounded, but Nelson continued to talk.
In this year's playoffs, it was the first time that Nelson said so much during a timeout and arranged in such detail.
Other Sonics players are still confused about Nelson's arrangement.
As for Ye Si, the frown he had just frowned had already relaxed.
After arranging the other Sonics players, Nelson finally looked at Yes.
When he saw that Ye Si's previously frowning brows had completely unfurled, Old Nelson was stunned for a moment, but finally a smile of relief and satisfaction appeared on his face.
"As for Yes, I won't make any demands. I think you should already understand."
Clam?
No arrangement?
Understood?
Why did Yes and Mr. Nelson suddenly start a charade?
"I understand, Mr. Nelson."
Also ignoring his confused teammates, Ye Si nodded to Nelson seriously and respectfully.
This is respect from the heart.
"SuperSonics timeout timed out!"
"Solving such a problem in such a short time is still so difficult that it is almost impossible, even for a coach of Nelson's level!"
"The gap in strength between the two teams cannot be made up by manpower!"
"Old Nelson is doing useless work!"
The commentary reporters and experts at the scene were sighing and gloating about the misfortune.
And Spoelstra, who made the world recognize him again in half a quarter of this game, had eyes twinkling.
Once upon a time, he was known as a dog tethered to the sidelines.
From now on, he will finally be on the stage of the NBA, and he can compete with Nelson, who is at the center of the coaching stage...
"Boys, this is your stage, come on and take back the stage that belongs to you!"
