Chapter 908 The Strongest Heat!

Relying on his super physical talent and mobility, James severely slapped away Durant's shot in the first defense at the beginning. This is a momentum that James has never shown in the previous two games.

In the previous two games, James stood one-on-one in front of Durant, which greatly limited his impact ability and physical talent.

When standing in front of Durant to defend Durant, the most important thing is height, weight and lateral movement ability.

Defending Durant's long-stepping breakthrough requires strong lateral movement ability, defending Durant's pull-up requires height, and defending Durant's back-up requires strength.

As for other physical talents or skills, it is really difficult to play their best role in front of Durant.

As for the three most important talents for one-on-one defense of Durant, apart from strength, the other two are not James' strengths.

Even relatively speaking, James' lateral speed and his height have always been relatively disadvantaged.

If you can't use your strengths, you can only use your weaknesses.

It would be really strange to be able to defend Durant.

Therefore, before the game started, after confessing everything to Spoelstra, James' request was that he could no longer face Durant or Yeez, otherwise no matter what he did now, he would only be Undercover.

Finally, Spoelstra gave him an answer that satisfied him.

Chris Bosh doesn't need to guard Durant. He just needs to prevent Durant from easily pulling up from the outside, forcing Durant to attack more inside, and forcing Durant into James' defense range. Come, James can exert his strongest power.

In this new role designed by Spoelstra for James, James is very comfortable.

After James blocked Durant's shot, even the Heat players on the court and on the sidelines were a little surprised.

Compared with the previous two games, James' blocking of Durant's shot was really so brutal!

"Did this guy really cut off all ties with the Sonics and yes?"

After James apologized, except for Wade, most Heat players still did not believe James.

It's just that the team's head coach Spoelstra and the team's boss Wade are willing to believe in James, so they can only choose to believe in James.

Although they said they forgave James and believed James on the surface, in their hearts, they still had doubts.

Obviously, James' defense this time has a bit of a reputation.

"The feeling from the Miami Heat players is different!"

"There is less hesitation among Heat players!"

The SuperSonics offense continued again. Rondo sent a sideline ball. Yes received Rondo's pass and once again found Durant with a jump pass as a transfer.

This time, facing Bosh's defense, Durant did not choose to make a drastic change of direction and break through, but directly took action on the spot.

Bang!

The Seattle SuperSonics' first possession of the game ended in failure.

"The Miami Heat's targeted defense against Durant in this game was successful in terms of the first defensive effect."

“It’s not just a success, it’s a great success!”

After Kenny Smith finished speaking with a smile, even Barkley agreed,

Even Barkley agrees with this more than Kenny Smith does.

The Heat's change in James' role on the defensive end in this game not only affected Durant's offense.

It also affects yes's offense!

The reason why Wade and Ben Gordon are so defensive is because they have James' protection behind them, so they don't have to worry about being crushed if they press too hard.

Anyone who knows the NBA and basketball knows that the tighter the defense, the better.

The premise that the tighter the defense, the better, is that the defense must be flexible.

If the defense is inelastic, the tighter the defense collapses, the easier it will collapse.

And James' current defensive role provides the Heat with defensive flexibility!

"Spoelstra is an underrated head coach!"

"He's definitely more than just a dog being tied up on the Heat bench by Pat Riley!"

Of course my disciple is not a dog tied to the bench!

Pat Riley in the stands was pleased with the Heat's start to the game.

In particular, I am very satisfied with Spoelstra's performance.

Even when he was disgusted with James, Spoelstra still maintained his patience and tolerance for James.

In the end, James was successfully influenced.

Pulled back James who had been undercover in the previous two games.

Per James' request, Spoelstra didn't tell Pat Riley everything.

In Pat Riley's opinion, he was very satisfied that his disciple was able to come out of such a difficult situation and do well.

Nelson, who was on the sidelines, was also looking at Spoelstra, who suddenly became the focus of the game at this time.

This is an excellent tactical adjustment.

The Seattle SuperSonics played crazy in the first two games, and the Heat beat the Heat in each game.

But in the final analysis, the Sonics have reached a critical moment, and the only players who have truly demonstrated the ability to kill are Yes and Durant.

Yes and Durant averaged 785 points per game in the first two games, while the Seattle SuperSonics averaged 1,225 points per game. That is, in the first two games, Yes and Durant scored a total of 65 points for the team. score.

This ratio is too high!

Don't forget, the Sonics' bench performance in the first two games was also good.

In other words, the Sonics' starting scoring points are too concentrated on Yes and Durant.

This is not to say that Milicic and Millsap's scoring ability is terrible. In fact, their scoring ability is not terrible.

It's just that the two of them encountered a lot of trouble in the first two games, and it was the kind of trouble that couldn't be solved.

Milicic can't solve Chandler.

Millsap couldn't solve Chris Bosh's offense before, and he certainly can't solve James' offense in this game.

Therefore, the only one the Sonics can really solve and has the ability to solve is Durant.

In the first two games, Durant did not receive any test on the defensive end, and he devoted all his energy to the offensive end.

As for yes, the Heat tried to use James to play yes on the offensive end, but James always avoided playing, which caused the Heat to be defeated by yes in the third quarter of two consecutive games.

With Nelson's eyesight, he could see what Spoelstra's intention was in this game.

James' defense became a free man, completely letting go of Rondo, allowing Wade and Ben Gordon to strengthen their attack. This is to trap Yes' ability to solve problems!

At the same time, Spoelstra will definitely find ways to trap Durant's problem-solving ability!

Even Nelson can now think of what kind of method Spoelstra used to trap Durant!

On the court, the Miami Heat are attacking. This is the Heat's first offense of the game.

The Heat's first offense in the previous two games was initiated by Wade.

The Heat's ball is in Wade's hands.

And this time, the Heat's offensive player turned out to be James!

In the previous two games, the Heat allowed James to control the ball, asking James to say yes.

But now, James is carrying the basketball on the court to attack Durant!

After LeBron James used his terrifying tank-like impact to knock Durant away, facing the help of Milicic who rushed towards him, James did not hesitate and made an emergency stop in the mid-range to complete the shot.

A swipe!

James hit the first goal of the game.

2 to 0!

Seeing James score two points so cleanly.

Unexpectedly, the Heat fans on the sidelines even forgot to cheer for a moment.

To be honest, Yes was quite surprised by James' choice of attack this time.

Give Durant physical confrontation, not Milicic.

This is the way James plays with a high golf quotient.

However, facing Milicic's assisting defense, such a decisive mid-range shot is definitely not a regular James offensive method!

Based on Ye's familiarity with James, even James in 2016 would hesitate when encountering someone who could hit the basket or shoot. He would even choose to hit the basket most of the time. For his own shots, Even when James is in the open position, he is not that confident, let alone pursues that kind of clean, decisive and quick shot.

In fact, in the more than 2,000 games when James was teammates, James liked to aim for a period of time before taking action when faced with an open position.

In the first two games, after his mentality was broken by his various operations, James had no chance to show his difference. In this game, James, who completely let go of everything, has begun to make Ye Si feel that this James is different from the James he knows. More and more things are different.

His body is now at its peak.

His technique is now thoroughly mature.

What's more important is his mentality. Now he is finally no longer confused.

James is very strong now!

James' strong offensive and defensive performance after the start of the game made the Heat fans and many reporters and media spectators at the scene a little distracted.

After all, James' performance in the previous two games was not like this.

In the first two games, James was undercover.

How could a person who had been undercover in the previous two games suddenly break out in this game? !

James' current data is 2 points and 1 block. Such data is far from the requirements for a big explosion.

But anyone who has watched this game can feel how big the gap is between James' performance in this game and the previous two games.

At the very least, from the beginning of this game, James is the protagonist on the court!

Of course, it is Spoelstra's request to let James become the protagonist in the opening game.

The sooner the Heat players let down their guard against James, the better.

Spoelstra is not a taker for granted, and he doesn't think other Heat players really believe in James without any evidence.

James needs to let the team see his vote.

The opening attack and defense are a vote of fame!

His plan was correct and the effect was very good. Spoelstra could clearly feel the changes in the faces and expressions of the Heat players.

It's not just the Heat players on the court who are changing their views on James, but the Heat players on the sidelines as well.

The Seattle SuperSonics attacked again. This time, the Heat didn't even give Ye Si a chance to connect the ball.

In the last SuperSonics offense, although the Heat ignored Rondo and completely let him go, it was just a show. Ben Gordon didn't stand with Wade to double-check Yees from the beginning. Ben Gordon completely let him go. Rondo, but as long as he goes back, he can still go back to Rondo.

But this time, in order to double-team Yes' catch from the beginning, Ben Gordon really wasn't even prepared to go back and defend Rondo!

In other words, as long as Rondo is willing, he can shoot from outside the three-point line. As long as he is confident in his ball control and layups, he can also carry the ball to the basket to challenge James and Qian. Dele!

Looking at this vast road, Rondo, who was dribbling the ball, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and even his dribbling hands were trembling.

How disrespectful to the second master!

I have always felt that Phil Jackson and Ji Bu Gong are the ones who give the second master no face!

Now the second master knows that there are worse people in this world than Phil Jackson and Kidd!

Damn it!

Whether that guy Du Shiwu can score or not depends on the sky, and it has nothing to do with the defensive players.

Whether the second master's shot will go in or not is also up to the sky and has nothing to do with the defensive players.

Why can't you use this to humiliate Du Shiwu? !

Why do you not only have a targeted defense against Du Shiwu, but why don't you deploy such a targeted defense against Erye? !

Damn it, aren't you being too double-standard? !

The second master is very angry!

The second master feels so angry now!

Damn it!

The indignant Rondo looked at the annoying basket that had been losing weight but not gaining weight, and threw the basketball in his hand directly.

The second master has never been a coward!

If you dare to let the second master go, the second master will dare to endure it!

Bang!

Rondo's shot from beyond the three-point line, which he didn't know how many meters away, hit Lan's neck hard.

Seeing the basketball that Lao Gao hit on Lan's neck, even Ye Si opened his mouth in despair and didn't know what to say.

There are not many things in this world that can make him feel despair. One is James' acting skills in the finals, and the other is Rondo's shooting...

"You can get such an opportunity and smash it like this?"

"No wonder so many people say that as long as Rondo stands on the NBA court, he is an insult to all NBA players."

Barkley on the sidelines felt that he was definitely not Black Rondo when he said this.

Almost at the same time, James quickly grabbed the rebound that hit him far away. James grabbed the rebound and threw the basketball in his hand directly into the frontcourt without any pause.

The one who took the lead and ran at the front was Wade!

And yes, he was being dragged by Ben Gordon just now...

Three people are entangled, one is pulling, and the other is pushing away and running away. Even the explosive power of yes is useless.

Bang!

The sound of Wade beating the frame completely exploded the American Airlines Arena!

"Jane Way is on the line, this is the James Wade line!"

This game, no, this series, is going to be difficult for the Sonics!

In front of the TV, Kobe shook his head regretfully.

The Heat are indeed the strongest...
