Chapter 891 Dongzhan Xidu!

On May 22, 2009, in the third Eastern Conference Finals game between the Heat and the Cavaliers, many people were predicting before the game that after the Heat slaughtered the Cavaliers for two consecutive games on the road, they would definitely still have two massacres at home.

But what is shocking is that LeBron James, who performed very well in Cleveland, instantly stretched his hips after returning to Miami!

In the first two games, James played a total of 60 minutes. Each game was almost three 30-minute quarters. In these short 60 minutes, James scored a total of 84 points, 17 rebounds, and 15 assists. It’s as high as 70!

These are two almost god-like games!

Such godlike performance made the Cavaliers, who were very strong in the regular season, seem to have turned into a weak team.

At the same time, these two games also let the world see what a powerful team the Heat is when James is not undercover.

Just when the whole world thought that the Heat were likely to win six consecutive games and win the championship, James went undercover again!

Anyone who watched the third game between the Heat and the Cavaliers would have a hard time understanding how James could have such a bad performance at the Heat's home court.

It's okay to have a low hit rate, a lot of turnovers, and the data isn't pretty enough.

Every time Wade and the other Heat players finally caught up with the score, James stepped up and took over the Heat's offense.

Either a mistake or a strike.

And those mistakes and those strikes are really jaw-dropping!

In the third game between the Heat and the Cavaliers, James even played Nowitzki's golden rooster independence in the game, and although the posture looked a bit ugly, the difficulty was really not low at all. As for the effect, of course it was Bang-dang-dang!

After all, James is not beating his opponent, he is beating O'Neal independently with a golden rooster!

In addition to facing O'Neal in the game and playing Golden Rooster independently.

In this game, James was still crazy about learning how to jump up and pass the ball without looking at the person behind his back.

Anyone who knows something about the NBA knows that James played a pass that Nash called the strongest pass in history.

In the NBA, many people have learned to pass the ball like Nash, but in the end only Nash has mastered it.

And even if you have mastered it, according to Nash, it is only the beginning.

Therefore, the difficulty of Ye Si's pass is recognized to be difficult.

If James wants to play such a difficult pass in a formal game and a formal game at the level of the Eastern Conference Finals, the final result is also obvious.

Mistake!

Mistake!

It was all a mistake!

A victory that should have been an easy win for the Heat.

In the end, James made him lose.

Players from the Leafs and SuperSonics also watched the game.

After the second game between the Heat and the Cavaliers.

Super Sonic's expressions were solemn.

The way James looked at him was sympathetic to Durant and the team's small forward.

But after watching the third game between the Heat and the Cavaliers.

The way the Sonics players looked at James changed.

"This guy...isn't he a fool?"

"I think I'm sick!"

Listening to the surrounding teammates' comments about James, Ye Si's face was not surprised.

If he wasn't a real fool or a sick person, it's really hard to imagine that he would do such things again and again on the court.

Of course, Ye Si didn't think so.

Obviously, James wants to make final preparations.

He wants to try his best to become more perfect before the finals.

He knows James.

James is a very complicated person. He is a person who is willing to challenge the difficulty, but at the same time, he is not a person who is willing to challenge the difficulty.

He is willing to take risks, but he is not willing to take risks without complete preparation.

He longs to confront himself, but he is afraid of confronting himself.

If you understand James' personality, it is not difficult to understand his sudden behavior now.

At the end of the first game between the Cavaliers and the Heat, Yeos saw James killing the Cavaliers with great power and felt that he had completed the reshaping of his style of play.

Now it seems that James is still not that confident.

I still want to keep procrastinating.

Therefore, no matter how this James changes, in terms of personality, he is still the James he is familiar with...

The Miami Heat lost the game at home, which was a bit embarrassing for those around the world who shouted that the Heat and Sonics could consider their next opponent.

"There was a little accident in the Eastern Conference Finals. There shouldn't be any surprises in the Western Conference Finals, right?"

Will there be any small surprises in the Western Conference Finals?

This is something a lot of Seattle SuperSonics fans are a little worried about right now.

After all, the Lakers are a very strong team.

After all, the Lakers' regular season ranking is second in the Western Conference, while the SuperSonics are eighth in the Western Conference.

Although Durant is slowly finding his offense.

But Durant is still at a low point in regaining his offensive form.

Maybe they can stop worrying about Durant being deposed now.

But we do need to worry about Durant suddenly being unable to climb out of a trough.

Durant's performance in the last game was 8 of 24 shots. This data is not very good, much worse than his first game against the Lakers.

Will Durant be worse in Game 3?

This is a problem that many coconut flours are worried about now.

In fact, the head coach and players of the Sonics are also a little worried.

Durant's current offensive status really needs to be adjusted.

Seven games in the last round, two games in this round, no games for a year, and only nine games in the playoffs this season. It is really difficult to ask Durant to maintain a certain level.

Therefore, even if he performs worse against the Lakers, he cannot be criticized harshly.

Others are worried that Durant, a player who helped the Sonics win in the first two games, will become a big pit for the Sonics in the next game.

Ye Si has never worried about this issue.

Durant will indeed dig holes in the game, especially after the Lakers changed their defense against Durant in the last game, Durant's offense did encounter great difficulties.

In the first game of the Lakers' game, Artest allowed Artest to focus his main attention on Yees, but for Durant, he let it go a little bit.

By the second game, Artest had completely ignored Leafs' defense.

Instead, the whole person hung on Durant's body.

Confrontation with Durant, physical combat with Durant, constantly squeezing Durant's offensive space.

Faced with this very targeted defense, Durant is no longer afraid of such physical confrontation after gaining weight.

But such defense still has a huge impact on Durant.

This kind of defense not only requires Durant's physical confrontation and back attack capabilities, but also requires more use of his ball-handling offense to get rid of it.

But Durant's current offense with the ball is precisely one of the most unstable links after his body gained weight. Breakthroughs often result in inexplicable drops of the ball, and sometimes even inexplicable falls.

This is why Durant hit 8 of 24 shots in the last game, a stat that paid tribute to Kobe.

Compared with the regular season showdown between the two teams, the biggest difference between the Los Angeles Lakers and the SuperSonics is that the SuperSonics have Durant.

It can be seen that Phil Jackson is working hard to minimize Durant's influence.

This is what Phil Jackson believes is the Lakers' only chance to win.

Durant has now proven that his offense is not dead.

But in this series, Phil Jackson will work hard to make Durant's defense look useless.

And this is the source of worry for Nelson and many Sonics players.

In Nelson's view, the SuperSonics are leading 2-0, and of course they have a great chance of advancing.

But it's not as easy as the media imagined.

Phil Jackson is a very, very tough opponent.

But for Ye Si, he didn't think too much about it.

In this series, Phil Jackson wants to contain Durant and contain Durant crazily. This is actually a very, very good thing for Leafs.

This is helping him train Durant.

And the Lakers are indeed a team very suitable for training Durant.

Artest of the Lakers needs strength, power, and defensive skills, which is very suitable for helping Durant adapt to that kind of close-to-hand defense.

Ariza, the Lakers' backup small forward, is a very good defensive player with long hands and long legs. He does not have the tight physical attributes of Artest.

But Ariza's frontal defense is very good, which is very suitable for training Durant's offensive ability with the ball.

From the perspective of Phil Jackson and the Lakers, there is nothing to say about the other positions of the two teams. Now Durant is the key to this round of competition.

So at the pre-game press conference before the third game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson almost couldn't do without Durant.

"KD is a very good young player. He has what he has become. He may become a player of Tracy McGrady's level in the future."

"After last year's serious injury, it did not affect his growth. He is a lot different from last year, but the same thing is that he is still very good."

"It's always a pleasure and a pain to play against such a great player, especially with the help of a player like yes."

"It will be difficult to completely organize Durant's performance in this series, but we will work hard to make Durant's contribution on the court equal to that of our other small forwards. That’s how we succeeded.”

"I know you are all looking forward to seeing kd show off in the playoffs this year and become the most reliable assistant around yes, but for me, I hope you will never see it again this season, but next time I, like you, will become a fan of KD this season, and I will bless him forever."

Phil Jackson is a very personable man.

Phil Jackson also showed his grace during the pre-game press conference between the two teams.

But for Durant himself, the words Phil Jackson said at the pre-game press conference were a bit murderous.

In the last game, he was made a little uncomfortable by the Lakers' changed defense.

Phil Jackson's intention in this game was to make Durant more uncomfortable.

On the evening of May 23, 2009, Key Arena in Seattle.

Key Arena was packed once again.

After losing the previous two games, this game is generally regarded as a counterattack for the Lakers.

Generally speaking, in such a counterattack, the team must change its formation.

But what embarrasses Phil Jackson and Kobe is that the Lakers seem to be completely unable to change formations when playing against the SuperSonics.

It's so familiar!

Even when the Lakers' core tactic, the triangle offense, is more familiar than even Kobe's, there is no point in changing it unless you create a new tactical system.

It makes no sense tactically, so just start with people!

In the first home game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Milicic beat his old rival Bynum to make a jump ball amid the cheers of SuperSonics fans.

Rondo advanced past half court and handed the ball to Yes. Faced with Kobe's strong personal defense, Yes passed the ball to Durant next to him.

If it was last season, it would not be so easy for Durant to catch the ball in such a high-intensity confrontation.

But now, after gaining weight, Durant has become a veritable perfect pick.

Basically, he can catch any ball.

You won’t be unable to catch the ball because the confrontation is too strong and you won’t be able to jump up, or your body will be swaying due to being squeezed.

However, after receiving the ball, it was still difficult for Durant to deal with a close defense like Artest.

The best way to crack a defense like Artest's is to pull away and then break through with the ball in an instant to get rid of Artest.

Durant would have been able to do this last season.

But now, Durant is indeed a bit tired. He has recovered a lot of pull-ups, but holding the ball...

Now I am still adapting and searching.

Therefore, faced with Artest's defense, Durant finally chose to turn around and fall back to take a difficult shot with Artest holding him back.

The difficulty of this attack...

Most people feel uncomfortable watching it.

Most players in the NBA would probably not even be able to touch the basket when faced with Artest's difficult offense.

But Durant, his shot seemed to have a navigation system, clang!

The sound of hammering made Phil Jackson's scalp go numb!

"This kid is indeed extremely talented!"

Being able to use such a difficult offense to strike is also a gift, the same gift as Kobe!

Don't think that anyone can face being double-teamed by four people and dare to take action!

You are underestimating Kobe's talent!

Phil Jackson, who was used to seeing Kobe's various tricks, was impressed even by Durant's efforts.

But others don't see it that way.

"I have a very bad feeling about this game!"

Watching the Sonics' first offense end in this way, Barkley's eyes went straight!

116 to 111!

After more than 47 minutes, looking at the score on the big screen, Barkley was choked by the score and could not say a word.

"The SuperSonics really lost..."

"Dongjhan Sidhu..."

Durant went undercover again...

These two wizards in the undercover world are going crazy!
