Chapter 211 Defensive Battle

Li Lianggang reached a deal with Kobe, and sat on the sidelines to watch the rotation continue to play.

James didn't end up on the Heat's side. As a result, at the beginning of the second quarter, Battier and Ray Allen surrounded Morris on the outside.

Morris panicked, no one came to the frontcourt to respond, and jumped up and passed the ball to Jamison hastily.

James broke the ball all at once and hit the basket for a dunk!

Wonima, Li Liang jumped up from the bench, and said to Mike Brown: "Let me go, let me go, what's the defense?"

Mike Brown quickly appeased Li Liang, the second quarter just started, don't worry.

Brown is thinking that the team's recent rotation is relatively tight, and the team tied in the first quarter, and the team has a bit of buffer space.

So let Kobe wait for the main force to take a break, and let Gasol lead the fight.

As a result, Mike Brown hadn't appeased Li Liang, and Chris Bosh cut Jamison's pass to Gasol.

Another steal!

It exploded, and it was only a little over a quarter. How many steals did the Heat have against the Lakers?

James took the ball and started a fast break, Li Liang yelled "Foul! Foul!"

Morris reacted and quickly pulled James, not letting James continue to rush.

Brown's IQ was suppressed by Spoelstra. If the two giants of the Heat continue to play and James is still on the court, you dare to replace Li Liang, Kobe, and Nash as a pure substitute?

Brown knew his mistake and corrected it. He quickly replaced Li Liang, replaced Ebanks, and replaced Morris with Meeks.

At this time, I can no longer save energy and rest, and it will be troublesome if the score is accidentally pulled away.

That's exactly what Spoelstra thought. He had studied the Lakers' rotation strategy, so he didn't let James go off the court to rest, but he wanted to beat the Lakers.

Unexpectedly, Brown reacted very quickly.

However, this also disrupted the Lakers' rotation deployment, and there will inevitably be some problems with the physical distribution of the players behind.

The Heat re-served the ball from outside, and Li Liang began to face James directly on the defensive end.

James showed off his dribble in front of Li Liang, successive crotch, changing hands, crotch, changing hands... Hey, where is the ball...

James dribbled the ball too much, but the ball dropped and flew into the hands of Gasol next to him!

This was a big embarrassment, Li Liang started to run to the frontcourt directly, and Gasol made a long pass.

The ball was interfered by James and the pass was too big.

Li Liang let go of his girl and chased after him fiercely. After he chased him, he found that he was almost running to the bottom line.

The Heat players have retreated and returned to their positions, and it is impossible to dribble to the basket.

Li Liang dribbled the ball directly to the bottom corner, turned around and took a look, and shot a three-pointer.

The three-pointer from the left corner is Li Liang's point. At this point, his three-pointer shooting rate is as high as 60%.

Hit!

At 28:29, the Lakers lead by one point.

Li Liang's three-pointer really has the effect of quick relief. Seeing that the Heat were about to use a defensive counterattack, they were suppressed by Li Liang.

The Heat have already replaced Cole. Cole dribbled the ball inside. Meeks and Gasol acted as if they were not defending.

30:29.

Outside Bosh and Cole began to double-team the ball holders, and Meeks was surrounded and had to rush out the ball.

After Jamison received the pass from the outside, he made a lob pass to the inside. Gasol made an empty cut to the basket and made a layup!

As the high point on the field, Gasol has little problem playing inside the Heat.

At 30:31, the two sides criss-crossed each other.

James has been playing for more than one quarter and looks a little tired.

He stopped catching the ball during the offense and set a screen for Ray Allen, and Ray Allen made a mid-range jumper.

miss.

Jamison got the backcourt rebound.

Meeks took possession of the ball, was double-teamed again near the center line, and gave the ball to Li Liang.

The Heat's defender Li Liang was changed to Sean Battier.

The Heat have a lot of defenders on the front line.

Battier's defense has always been sticky, and he immediately posted it to interfere with Li Liang's next move.

Li Liang was terribly disturbed in the high position today, and the Heat's outside targets were really powerful.

Li Liang didn't try to dribble the ball himself or do some tricks, he passed the ball back to Meeks.

Meeks took a step in from the center after receiving the ball, Battier immediately shrank, and Li Liang took a step out.

At this step, Meeks returned the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang and Battier opened up the distance.

After catching the ball, he made a three-pointer and hit it again!

Li Liang made 3 of 3 three-pointers tonight, and his shooting percentage is surprisingly high.

He is very determined to shoot, and he will shoot whenever he has the opportunity.

Although the heat's interference was strong, Li Liang didn't let them affect his feel.

At 30:34, the Lakers led the Heat by 4 points.

Then Li Liang fouled on the defensive end and Chris Bosh went to the free throw line.

One of two free throws, 31:34, James finally rested, Wade played.

Now the Heat keep at least two giants on the court at all times, with two ball-holding attack points, so that there will be no big offensive and defensive gaps.

Li Liang served Meeks the ball from the baseline and said, "Play a corner tactic."

Meeks nodded. The Heat are now very aggressive in double-teaming and oppressing outside ball-handlers, so there will be gaps in the bottom corners.

Sure enough, Meeks dribbled the ball over half court, and Gasol made a screen in the high post.

Then, Li Liang, who was standing in the bottom corner, suddenly stepped up and completed a cross exchange with Meeks.

After getting the ball, Meeks walked to Li Liang's original position in the bottom corner, and Gasol cut in.

Both Cole and Bosh were in front of Li Liang on the line, Ray Allen went to talk to Gasol, and Meeks was completely empty.

Li Liang passed the ball to Meeks, and Meeks shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Go in!

31:37!

In the few minutes without Kobe, the Lakers opened the gap to 6 points.

The Lakers made three consecutive three-pointers, which Spoelstra did not expect.

He didn't expect that the outside line has already oppressed the opponent like this. How can they still make a three-pointer?

The status of players is indistinct. When the status comes, the gods can't stop it, and when the status is gone, the gods can't pull back.

For the Lakers so far this season, Meeks is in better shape.

Because he has impact, is physically strong, and dares to fight, and cooperates with Li Liang.

In comparison, Duhon is slowly fading out, Morris is not purely strong, and Blake is still recovering from his injuries.

After the goal was made, Spoelstra dared not let the Lakers' three-pointers wreak havoc anymore, and called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, the two sides played two more rounds and made mistakes again and again.

On the Lakers side, Jamison dribbled and made a breakthrough error. After Cole made a steal, Ray Allen rushed to the basket with the ball and was interfered by Li Liang who followed behind.

Meeks got the rebound and the Lakers counterattacked.

Li Liang observed the Heat's defense after the timeout, and the expansion was very strong.

This is a three-pointer that clearly wants to pinch the Lakers.

Li Liang received a pass from Meeks in a very outside position, and then lobbed it to Gasol in the low post.

The Lakers want to play one in the low post, and it is Battier who defends Gasol.

Battier is also exhausted, defending Li Liang for a while, and going against Gasol again.

Gasol turned around with the ball, and the referee blew Battier's defensive foul.

Just halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers' main lineup reappeared.

Kobe and Nash are finally back.

Mike Brown gritted his teeth to let Kobe Nash rest more, and let young people like Li Liang go up and play more.

Facts have proved that Li Liang is trustworthy, playing better than Kobe.

No, as soon as Kobe came up, he caught the ball from the outside and missed a 45-degree mid-range jumper on the right.

This feeling, the Yitian sword has been hit halfway today.

The Heat won the backcourt rebound and counterattacked quickly. The Heat spared no effort to play fast today.

I just want to take advantage of the emptiness of the Lakers inside and the aging members to bring up the rhythm.

In fact, Spoelstra was wrong about this. The Lakers did have such a problem, but because of this, the Lakers also wanted to play fast.

Moreover, the Lakers' defense is not irreversible.

The ball was passed to Bosh's hands, and he went down from the middle, but it hit Li Liang all of a sudden.

The referee immediately blew his whistle and called Bosh an offensive foul!

Bosh spread his hands helplessly, feeling aggrieved.

Li Liang looked innocent, as if nothing had happened, but he couldn't help secretly giving the referee a thumbs up.

The score was still 31:37, and both sides failed to score for several rounds.

Gasol made another mistake. He wanted to pass in the low post to Li Liang who was cutting in, but he was interfered by Bosh and the ball fell down.

The Heat's defensive strength and stealing strength tonight made the Lakers players very uncomfortable.

The Heat counterattacked, and Wade dribbled continuously on the outside. He was considering whether to play one by himself.

Kerr has a chance on the wing, and Wade passes the ball to Kerr.

Cole took the ball from 45 degrees and went straight to the basket, and Li Liang was guarding the basket!

Cole challenges Li Liang, and it's not too late to avenge the summer league tonight!

The two confronted in the air, and Cole found that he couldn't get away from Li Liang.

Then there was a backhand layup after a fold and change of hands in the air!

Three non-stick...

The ball flew quite high, but it didn't touch anything. After landing, Li Liang took off again and took the rebound.

Look at what you are rushing for, and make a few shots blindly.

Folding in the air and changing hands for a layup, really thought that a subject could do this job?

But the Lakers' offense didn't make any progress either. Kobe picked and rolled the ball to Pau Gasol.

Gasol made a layup under the basket, but was missed by Battier and Bosh!

The ball was supposed to be an easy ball, but the Heat's striker abruptly interfered with the ball.

The two sides have not scored for nearly 4 minutes.

The game turned into a defensive battle.

At this time, James was sitting off the court to rest, and Spoelstrom gestured to him, indicating that he was ready to appear on the court.

After all, the Heat's scoring drought was broken by Wade.

He drew a defensive foul on Gasol on offense and went to the free throw line.

With James back on the court, the Heat's offense stalled a bit in the few minutes he was away.

Gasol also rested, Metta Shiping re-entered the game.

At this time, the Lakers put a small lineup on the court.

Nash, Kobe, Li Liang, Ci Shiping, plus Jamison.

In the commentary, Kerr believed that the Lakers' small lineup was "suicidal."

Although the Heat are not good inside, the breakthroughs of Wade and James are very powerful.

Besides, don't treat Chris Bosh as a human being?

Thackeray's height and weight put Li Liang in the center.

Mike Brown's idea is actually to fight offense, regardless of defense.

Even with Gasol and Thackeray, the effect is not too great.

Just after taking the ball, Gasol made a defensive foul. His footwork and strength are no longer enough to protect the basket.

Gasol just came back, and his state is relatively average tonight.

He made two mistakes on the offensive end and missed a layup close to the basket. Brown wanted him to get off the court and adjust.

Well, now Li Liang is really a center forward, but his goal is still aimed at James.

The task of marking James on the defensive end fell to Ci Shiping for the time being.

Wade made two free throws, 33:37, the Heat approached the score.

Then on the offensive end, Kobe asked for the ball in the low post, and the man defending him became Cole again.

Spoelstra, you look down on Kobe, send Cole to defend Kobe?

The real Woco will let you understand, what kind of pass to accept, the bottom line rolls back and jumps!

"Bang!" Missed again...

1 out of 7.

Although he didn't make it, Kobe showed Kerr what a real shot is and what a real picture is.

It doesn't matter whether you get in or not, the key is to be handsome.

Kobe felt that Cole had fouled the ball, turned around and the Heat counterattacked, and Wade went straight with the ball.

Kobe couldn't keep up, Li Liang came to help Kobe and delayed Wade's advance on the line.

After Kobe came back, he switched defenses and went back immediately, not giving Wade a chance to accelerate.

A good defensive player should help the team in such details.

Otherwise, as soon as Wade rushes up, you want to block shots inside? Just dream, it's either a dunk or a foul, maybe a 2+1.

Wade handed the ball to James to reorganize.

For this five small lineup, James is still observing.

Based on his experience, of course he should play inside first, especially Bosh.

Sure enough, Bosh cut into the three-second zone from the middle, and pressed Li Liang with his back to ask for the ball.

James lobs to Bosh.

Before Bosh received the ball, he heard Li Liang muttering in his ear:

"...According to Prajna Paramita, the heart does not hold the ball; without holding the ball, there is no victory or defeat. Stay away from brother basketball, and finally Nirvana..."

Bosh didn't understand at all, but felt his head froze for a moment.

Then Li Liang went around and poked Bosh away!

Li Liang's steal!

James has sharp eyes and quick hands, rushed forward to get the ball, and was about to rush to the basket with an acceleration.

Kobe's hand on the wing was faster, and he knocked James' ball away!

Can't your Heat steal it? Let you break, we can also break.

Nash rushed forward to control the ball, and the Lakers now need to score.

Halfway through the second quarter, one of the two sides scored 7 points and the other scored 11 points.

This intensity, this efficiency, is really a confrontation between the league's top teams.

It's a pity that the offense is classified as CBA.

This time Kobe didn't waste another chance. He ran to the right without the ball, CS, and made a catch and jumper.

Finally made it, and it was Kobe's first shot of the night.

At 33:39, the Lakers regained their 6-point lead.

Bosh is still in a daze, what happened just now?

Li Liang chuckled, this scripture is really useful.

I just don't know how it will affect James.

This chapter says that it will resume on the 6th, and there will be no complaints from sand sculpture netizens for the time being.
