Chapter 233 Kobe VS Wade
"Let me just say, our Emperor Qin is awesome!"
"It is necessary, James is not worthy of being emperor in front of Emperor Qin, only a minister!"
"Even James is not Qin Xiao's opponent, how can the Miami Heat win?"
"Kobe hasn't given his full strength yet. When he plays again, it will be easy to win the Heat..."
All of a sudden, Longguo fans had full confidence in the Lakers.
In the next few rounds, Qin Xiao and James settled down.
There is no verbal quarrel between the two, but they are both helping the team score in their own ways.
For the Lakers, Howard has become the biggest beneficiary.
As long as he is placed under the basket, Bosh can't be restricted at all without double-teaming.
Coupled with Kobe and Qin Xiao who are ready to respond at any time from the outside, the team's offense is extremely smooth.
On the other hand, the Heat's offensive fluency cannot be compared with the Lakers.
Seeing that the team's offense could not be opened, Bosh showed his precise shooting ability in a hurry.
Bosh has a good mid-range and long-range shooting ability, so Howard must pull out of the basket to defend him.
In this way, it gave the Heat more opportunities to cut in.
Once Howard does not come out, Bosh will punish the Lakers with a stable mid-range shot.
Both sides have the means to attack and score, and neither side has been blown up.
Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides battled to 16:19. The Lakers at home led by three points, but the Heat still had the ball.
The game entered the first official timeout stage, and players from both sides returned to the bench for rest.
"The Lakers are in a very good state tonight, they played very smoothly on the offensive end."
"Coach, we have to find a way to limit Dwight. He restrains us too much on the offensive end. This is not the way to go."
Wade raised his opinion immediately, and Coach Spoelstra also noticed this, but for now, there is no good way.
There are only two ways to remove Howard's basket threat.
The first way is to keep him away from the basket, but this is difficult to do.
After all, with his strength, he is almost invincible in the card position.
The second way, making him unable to receive the pass from his teammates, is simpler than the first way.
After much deliberation, Coach Spoelstra finally made a decision.
He said to Bosh: "Then you defend Dwight around the front and cut off the connection between him and his teammates as much as possible."
Coach Spoelstra chose the second solution, but it has its drawbacks.
That is, you may suffer a disadvantage in rebounding. After all, when you go around the front to defend and grab a rebound, you will definitely be stuck behind the opponent.
"LeBron, you and the Harbin team must always pay attention to grabbing defensive rebounds to avoid giving the opponent a second chance to attack."
"Understood, Coach!"
……
On the other side, the Lakers are on the bench.
"Everyone played very well offensively tonight, but our strength on the defensive end is not enough."
"Dwight, you have to guard the penalty area all the time, Paul, when Chris Bosh pulls out for a jumper, you have to take the initiative to switch defenses."
"In this way, Dwight can keep guarding the basket, thereby preventing the opponent's infinite cuts."
It is not Mustache who is telling everyone tactics, but Steve Nash.
As for the mustache, his role is more to draw cakes.
Steve Nash knows better than him about deploying tactics.
And even if there is no Nash, there is still Qin Xiao.
Although Nash did not start the game, his tasks on the bench are no less than those of the players on the field.
Always observe changes in the situation on the court, and remind teammates to make corresponding tactical changes at the right time.
He now has a feeling of being a head coach, with one salary, two jobs...
But Nash doesn't care about this. He only cares about whether the Lakers can win the championship this season.
At the end of his career, the championship is his only goal!
As for the other honors, he has won all that he deserves, and he is only short of a championship to be successful!
So as long as the team can win the championship, he doesn't care about some sacrifices.
Soon after the timeout came back, the Heat sent a sideline kick.
Bosh continued to pull up high at the rim, but this time it was Pau Gasol who followed him.
This change disrupted the Heat's offense in an instant, and Howard still guarded the penalty area. It was impossible for them to cut in unscrupulously.
Wade made a circle from the bottom line and returned to the outside line again. He didn't find a chance to make a shot under the basket.
There was not much time left in the attack, so he had to choose to play Kobe one-on-one.
This is also the first head-to-head confrontation between the two in this game.
The scene where James played against Qin Xiao just now wasn't enough, now it's Wade and Kobe's turn.
Facing Kobe's defense, Wade lowered his center of gravity and started instantly.
The knee that removed the accumulated water was still very powerful, and he successfully shook Kobe away by changing directions twice in a row.
The Flash, who rushed inside, performed his iconic stray step!
In the NBA, many superstars have fallen under this trick.
At this moment, Howard was also miserably played. He turned around in embarrassment, and Wade easily put the ball into the basket.
"As expected of the Flash, Mi Zongbu is still so ecstasy. Kobe in his peak period can still keep up with his footsteps, but it is really difficult now!"
Charles Barkley is very observant, which is one of the reasons why Bryant's defensive deterrence has declined.
The scoring counter flashed, and at 18:19, the Heat were only one point behind.
Looking back, it was Kobe's turn to attack with the ball.
He is getting older, but his competitive spirit is still the same as before.
Wade scored a goal on his head, of course he has to find the field himself.
Qin Xiao knew Kobe very well, so when he passed halftime, he passed the ball immediately.
Kobe took the ball to the weak side and also faced Wade.
The fans stood up from their seats again, just like cheering Qin Xiao just now.
"Kobe!"
"Kobe!"
"Kobe!"
The deafening shouts gave Kobe great confidence.
He can't break through like Wade now, but he has another way of attacking.
I saw Kobe sitting on Wade with his back, pushing towards the middle distance with all his strength.
Seeing this picture, everyone guessed what Kobe was going to do, including Wade also thought it was going to turn over and shoot a jumper.
However, in the next second, Kobe's actions were beyond everyone's expectations.
He made a turn, but didn't choose a jumper.
And Wade reacted instinctively and immediately jumped to block the shot.
As a result, Kobe pulled the ball back, turned around again, easily passed Wade, and then rushed into the penalty area, playing with Bosh who came out to defend, slipped the bottom line and pulled the bar for a perfect layup!
He responded successfully, and the Los Angeles Lakers once again led the Heat by three points!
