Chapter 350 Only 500,000

After Game 3, in the Lakers locker room, the jubilation that followed the first two games must have evaporated.

The Lakers played quite depressed in this game. From the beginning of the second quarter to the end, they were always held in the water by the Heat and did not catch their breath.

In the first two games, the front was pressed, and the last one was released. It was extremely happy to win.

This was directly suffocated.

After the game, the Lakers players refused most reporters' interviews in the locker room. Li Liang closed the door and prepared to have a short meeting.

Mike Brown was away and went to the press conference alone.

Buss Jr. and Jenny Buss wanted to go into the locker room to comfort the players, but Li Liang directly blocked the door.

"Tactical secrets, outsiders are forbidden to enter."

Li Liang's statement made the Bass brothers and sisters very angry, but there was no way to do it. Now it was the finals, and everything was about the players.

The Lakers have suffered from disunity in the finals in the past. This time they are so united, let's talk about winning the championship.

The discussion within the team lasted for about half an hour, and the reporters were waiting anxiously outside the locker room.

Wei Dazhi was also among them, and several reporters came up to get close to Wei Dazhi, hoping that he could interview Li Liang later, what was going on in the locker room.

Wei Dazhi waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, everyone. Bruce won't tell me these things. This is the finals. He has never taken it so seriously."

During the finals, Wei Dazhi terminated all other activities and followed the Lakers throughout the game.

During the interval between the three games, apart from training, Li Liang watched videos, kept fit, and occasionally accompanied Zhu Shu.

After the game, there will be a meeting to discuss countermeasures, and Li Liang will definitely not disclose any information.

Half an hour later, the door of the locker room opened and the reporters rushed in.

The Lakers players accepted brief interviews and kept silent about what had just been discussed in the locker room.

Wei Dazhi went to the parking lot and drove Li Liang home together.

Wei Dazhi didn't speak on the way, but Li Liang spoke first: "Hey, why don't you ask, what did we talk about in that half hour?"

Wei Dazhi said: "What's there to talk about, anyway, you don't know how to talk about it."

Li Liangdao: "There is nothing to say, we just discussed how to play the next game."

Wei Dazhi said: "That's your team's secret, how can you say it casually."

Wei Dazhi said so, but his ears were pricked up, for fear that he didn't hear what Li Liang said.

Li Liangdao: "Actually, it's nothing. In the next game, the team will strengthen two points. One is to strengthen offense and the other is to strengthen defense."

Wei Dazhi almost vomited blood, this is not the same as not saying, you are kidding me!

Just as Wei Dazhi was about to complain, he turned around and saw Li Liang lying on the seat with his eyes closed, his face looking tired.

It's really not good to lose, so just make fun of it, and make him happy.

...

On June 12, the entire Lakers team conducted a fully enclosed training session, only allowing half an hour for the media to open.

There is no doubt that the Lakers will make a major adjustment in Game 4.

The fourth game is quite critical for the Lakers. If they can win, they will lead 3:1. In NBA history, no team has successfully comeback after falling behind 1:3 in the finals.

If the Lakers lose, the two sides will be tied 2:2, and the advantage will return to the hands of the Miamis.

At that time, Game 5 will be the Lakers' last home game, and the last two games will go to Miami. The situation will not be very good.

So in the fourth game, the Lakers are determined to win.

Because Mike Brown was in the press conference when the Lakers locker room was meeting that day, he was the last to know what was being discussed.

As the team's head coach, Mike Brown put down his airs, accepted the opinions of the players humbly, and said that he would make changes in the fourth game.

On June 13, US time, at 7:30 p.m., Game 4 of the NBA Finals kicked off at the Staples Center.

Before the game, on the sidelines, Mike Brown was a little nervous.

He sat on the bench, seemingly calm, but kept holding his glasses frame.

He changed his glasses again tonight, a pair of glasses with yellow frames, which is consistent with the main color of the Lakers.

The team is obviously still in an advantage, but because it is an advantage, it will be more concerned about gains and losses.

In comparison, Spoelstra was calmer on the Heat's bench.

Teams at a disadvantage are often "barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes", but they can fight hard.

The Heat originally had the home court advantage, but they lost both home games and the pressure was huge.

After winning the third game, the team's pressure was released at once.

After the third game, Wade and James hugged each other tightly on the court. Winning this game is too important for the team's confidence.

Therefore, before the start of the fourth game, the expression on James' face was much more relaxed.

At 7:30, the Staples Center was full, and many big-name Hollywood stars were present tonight, and the sidelines were crowded with stars.

The starting lineups of the two sides are still the same as the previous three games, with five players already fixed. At present, neither side has the intention to actively change the starting lineup.

The center jumped the ball, and Howard took the lead in winning the ball again.

Bosh has never won a scrum in the opening four games.

If you really can't dance, just learn from Li Liang and don't dance. If you don't dance, you might win once out of four times, but you can't win even if you dance once.

In the Lakers' first attack after the opening, Li Liang squatted in the corner, but Howard came out to pick and roll Nash.

After a pick-and-roll screen, Howard cut inside, and Nash hit the ground with a tricky pass.

Howard caught the ball in the middle and hit Haslem in front of him. He hit a hook with his right hand and scored the Lakers' first point!

In the last game, the Heat used Bosh to defend Li Liang and Haslem to face Howard.

Under Haslem's top defense and defense around the front, Howard only scored 12 points in the game, which did not reflect the matchup advantage.

As soon as the game opened, Howard succeeded in singles against Haslem, which was a warning to the Heat.

The Heat responded by Wade. With the help of a screen, he made a big circle around the three-point line. After slipping to the bottom line, he turned over and hit a right-handed throw.

After the first two games, Wade's self-aggression has become much stronger, and he will fight one-on-one when he has the opportunity.

Even if the person defending him is Kobe.

Kobe didn't keep up with this ball in time, and missed the bottom line.

Li Liang served Kobe from the baseline and scolded Kobe by the way.

"Will you follow the defense? Follow up tighter? This game has just begun, cheer up!"

Afterwards, Kobe really cheered up and made a bottom line breakthrough, and then he scored the ball to Howard.

Howard caught the ball for a layup, was fouled by Haslem, and went to the free throw line.

But it's a pity that Howard missed two free throws, and the Heat got a backcourt rebound to fight back.

Bosh received a pass from Wade, played Li Liang one-on-one, and missed a jumper.

The two sides tentatively attacked each other for two rounds, but the hit rate was not high.

Before Game 4, many reporters were covering the Lakers locker room meeting.

Of course, the Heat's players and coaching staff also got the news, and Spoelstra, Riley and others all know that the Lakers will definitely make adjustments.

So after the start of the fourth game, the Heat didn't start with a fierce attack like the third game, but wanted to see what changes the Lakers had made.

It turned out that the main change for the Lakers seemed to be Howard at the beginning.

This kind of adjustment strategy is an old routine, open up the inside line, and the Heat's inside line is relatively weak.

Of course, Spoelstra was prepared. The outside line paid great attention to the defense of the inside line, and Haslem began to defend Howard around the front.

After the Lakers moved the ball several times from outside, Li Liang caught the ball at 45 degrees on the left side. Seeing that there was not much time, he directly shot a three-pointer!

Three points hit!

After more than two minutes in the first quarter, Li Liang hit the first three-pointer of the game.

As soon as Li Liang scored a three-pointer, Spoelstra became restless. He couldn't sit still, so he got up from the bench and walked around.

The sharp knife of the Heat is still Wade, and after a strong break in the middle, the ball is passed to Bosh who goes down, and Bosh hits the basket and hits the basket.

Kobe had already defended the ball very well, and Howard also blocked the shot, but Bosh still scored the ball.

The key to the Heat's victory in Game 3 was Wade's start to take over the game and Bosh's outstanding contribution.

Wade played mediocre in the first two games, and Bosh was beaten all over his head. James alone couldn't beat him.

Of course, Kobe would not keep watching Wade play, and then he broke through the bottom line with the help of a screen, and made a pull-back jumper.

After that, the two sides each wasted another opportunity.

Among them, Wade was blown a rare move in the counterattack, because he didn't catch the ball well, which led to a violation.

This ball undoubtedly hit the morale of the Heat. They didn't feel very good at the beginning. This counterattack was very valuable.

But the Lakers seized the opportunity, Li Liang received a pass from the left corner, and after shaking Bosh away with a three-point fake, he dribbled one step and hit a mid-range jumper!

As soon as the goal was scored, Mike Brown breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

This kid Li Liang really dared to vote and shoot.

At 9:4, the Lakers led by 5 points, and they had a good start.

The Heat played an attack wave at the beginning of the last game, but this game is obviously in a much worse state at the beginning of the game.

Except for the layup that received a pass from Wade, Bosh made none of the next few shots.

And Nash and Kobe repeatedly broke through the Heat's inside line. Finally, after Nash hit the basket on the left side, he split the ball to Howard who inserted in the middle.

Haslem's defense did not lose its position. Howard seemed to be about to catch the ball. Unexpectedly, after he lifted the ball, he received the ball again, twisted his body, and handed the ball to Li Liang who inserted from the bottom!

After receiving the ball, Li Liang jumped up and made a dunk with one hand!

This dunk was exactly the same as the first game, and it stopped the Heat again.

Spoelstra called a timeout, he looked up at the big screen, 11:4, the Heat trailed by 7 points.

The bad thing now is not that they are 7 points behind, but that Spoelstra hasn't seen where the Lakers' real adjustments are.

At the same time, he was worried about the state of the Heat, as Bosh rose to prominence and then withered.

How can an All-Star who has been in the league for 10 years not be as good as a second-round pick?

Spoelstra couldn't help thinking, if Bruce Lee was in the Heat, they would have swept their opponents 4-0.

And this guy only needs 500,000.
