Chapter 238 Playing with Wade with Lost Steps
In the stands on the second floor, Su Qun also felt that there was a problem with the defense.
Zhang Lili said cheerfully: "The Lakers have tasted the sweetness. James was robbed twice in a row, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. But this unconventional method is fine once or twice. It doesn't work."
Everyone thought it was the Lakers' mistake, but they didn't know that this was the effect Qin Xiao wanted.
Forcing Wade to attack alone, it doesn't matter even if he scores.
After all, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to blow up the Lakers by himself.
Once a few balls are defended by the Lakers inside, it might collapse.
Looking back, the Lakers sent the baseline ball, and Qin Xiao observed his teammates' positions from outside the three-point line.
His first choice was to get the ball to the basket, since he scored a lot of points in the paint in the first half.
But the Heat didn't give a chance at all here, Bosh and Haslem both chose to go around the front defense.
"The Miami Heat also made adjustments to the defense of the penalty area in the second half. In this way, it will be more difficult for Howard to catch the ball in the low post. Let's see how Qin can crack it..."
Before Charles Barkley finished speaking, Qin Xiao suddenly fused the ball and made a shot.
After reacting, James had no time to take off, so he could only extend his hand symbolically.
However, this did not interfere with Qin Xiao's shooting. The basketball spun into the air, drew a beautiful arc, and then fell into the basket with precision.
"It seems that this is Qin's answer. This three-point shot is unexpected!"
"But this kind of unreasonable fighting has become Qin's conventional weapon."
"Facing Qin, you need to maintain your focus at all times, and you may pay the price if you relax a little!"
Barkley could feel the pressure from Qin Xiao just sitting in the commentary booth.
At this time, the most uncomfortable thing is James.
After the start of the second half, he was first intercepted by Qin Xiao twice in a row, and now he was shot by Qianba.
The better Qin Xiao's performance, the greater the pressure on him.
After all, he once declared that he was going to become No. 1 in the league, so how could he fall into a disadvantage in the matchup with Qin Xiao.
As everyone knows, the next few rounds will be James' real nightmare!
He wanted to get back in front of Qin Xiao, but the Lakers didn't give him a chance at all.
As long as halftime is over, the Lakers will encounter strict defense and even be double-teamed.
That's how the Spurs dealt with Qin Xiao in the Western Conference Finals, but Qin Xiao chose to play off the ball to break the Spurs' double-team tactics.
And James can't do this, his role off the ball is not great, far inferior to Qin Xiao's off-ball running.
During this time, the Heat began to make frequent mistakes.
Even if Wade can forcefully score a few goals with his personal ability, it cannot change the fact that the point difference is gradually widening.
With Kobe Bryant hitting a mid-range jumper, the Lakers expanded the point difference to double digits.
After the three quarters, at 76:87, the Zijin Army entered the final battle with an [-]-point lead.
"It turns out that this is the real intention of the Lakers. Double-teaming James and letting Wade short is not a tactical problem, but it has become a key factor to widen the point difference."
"They managed to limit James so that he couldn't connect the team to organize the offense."
"In this way, Wade is fighting alone, and Dragon King Bosh is restricted by Howard, and he can't play at a normal level."
"When Wade is the only one left in the Big Three of the Heat, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"
"Director Zhang, do you think it is possible for the Heat to make a comeback under such circumstances?"
Su Qun asked Zhang Lili.
Zhang Lili said slowly: "This question is not only about whether the game can be reversed, but about the entire finals."
"The Heat must solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise, they will always be in a passive situation."
"That is to say, when James is double-teamed and locked, someone needs to stand up to organize, connect, and score."
"It's not about watching Wade play alone. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he can't last a whole game."
Soon, the final game started.
During the intermission, coach Spoelstra re-deployed, and the effect is still unknown.
On the first offense in the last quarter, Qin Xiao and Howard played a pick-and-roll and immediately formed a misplaced defense.
This is the first time Qin Xiao faces Dragon King Bosh in this game.
"LeBron and Dwyane have done background panels, now it's your turn."
Facing Bosh, Qin Xiao was very confident.
From small to big, except for the disadvantage of height, Qin Xiao is not at a disadvantage in all aspects.
Bosh did not respond, looking quite dignified.
He didn't dare to be careless, and put on the most serious defensive posture.
But in Qin Xiao's view, his defense was useless.
[Super-speed dribbling] When used, the nimble footsteps are definitely not something this big man can keep up with.
Although Bosh's footsteps are also fast, but compared with inside players, he is still far behind Qin Xiao.
Without any extra movement, Qin Xiao swiped away from Bosh with one turn.
James was stuck by Howard, unable to make up defense, and Haslem was also entangled by Gasol.
Fortunately, Wade rushed over immediately and stood in front of Qin Xiao trying to stop the attack.
The most reasonable choice now is to give the ball to Kobe who was emptied, but Qin Xiao didn't do that.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and in the next second he used Flash's famous stunt 'Misty Step'!
Qin Xiao's speed is no worse than Wade's, and his left and right moves are greater, but his fluency is slightly lacking. After all, this is not his usual offensive method.
Regardless of the imperfection of the action, Wade successfully swayed the defense and put the ball into the basket.
The main thing is a surprise!
At that moment, countless ways of attack flashed through Wade's mind, but Qin Xiao didn't expect Qin Xiao to use this move.
"How is it? Doesn't it feel good to be hit by your own trick?"
Qin Xiao's voice reached Wade's ears, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
In the past, he was the one who played tricks on his opponents with his lost step, but he didn't expect that one day he would also be played tricks on himself.
This is to use your best moves to score on top of your head.
Qin Xiao's humiliation to Wade made Wade extremely uncomfortable!
In the next few minutes, the Lakers completely controlled the initiative of the game.
In order to crack the Lakers' defense, James was forced to play off the ball, but he also ran some opportunities, but his shooting efficiency was not high.
Compared with his own offensive efficiency with the ball, it is simply a world of difference.
With less than 3 minutes left in the game, the Lakers extended their lead to [-] points.
Coach Spoel saw that there was no hope of chasing points, so he had no choice but to call a timeout and give up the game!
