Chapter 733: All taller than you
ps: The new book of Still Life has been released "Basketball Emperor"
"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and James's foul was made. ☆→☆→,
The Zen master called a timeout on the sidelines. Jeremy Lin fell too badly now, and it might be fine if he didn't dunk, but choosing to dunk to make him jump too high, so he naturally fell even harder.
When Nets players saw this tragic scene, many players couldn't help but hold their heads in their hands and stood on the sidelines to know what happened to Jeremy Lin who was rolling on the floor?
James did not celebrate the blocking. After the basketball went out of bounds, he immediately went up to check Jeremy Lin, patted his shoulder lightly, indicating that he had no malice.
The referee stepped forward to separate him. Regardless of whether there was any malicious intention or not, the Nets players were very upset now. The various abuses from home fans filled the Continental Aviation Center for a while.
But what embarrassed them was that through the replay of the live large screen, James's ball was covered very cleanly, and he was completely aimed at people, and there was no foul.
The referee blew the home whistle this time and has taken care of the emotions of home fans.
James did not come forward to protest. Most of these balls would be judged for fouls on the away game. After all, Jeremy Lin was still lying on the ground and fell quite a bit.
Jeremy Lin’s weight of 200 pounds saved his life. If he had changed to a thin man this time, he would probably have been seriously injured even if he didn’t die.
"There is no problem with the joints. Go to the hospital to see if there is any concussion. It should not be a big problem."
The team doctor checked on the court for a long time, mainly to check whether Jeremy Lin's joints felt pain. Fortunately, his body was relatively strong. Although his head was dizzy and his back muscles were numb, he did not hurt the joints. With the physical fitness of a professional player, this injury can be cured in one night.
This accident made Nets players' morale even higher. Although Jeremy Lin is gone, he has scored two important free throws for the Nets.
The Zen master took the opportunity to replace the main lineup, Ji Guoqiu made both free throws, with a score of 29:36. The Nets narrowed the gap to 7 points.
"For Jeremy, kill them!" Ji Guochou scored two free throws and shouted at his teammates.
"Yes, we're going to take the lead."
"Kill them!"
Nets players responded one after another. Morale was aroused, and Jeremy Lin died as if he was.
Ji Guochou felt bad, and the same was true after he reappeared in the second quarter, but this could not stop him from creating a threat. His every move in the low post could make Heat fans feel frightened.
Many people say that Panda Brother is similar to Peak Duncan. But in fact, the two are very different. At least Duncan's peak attack has almost never changed in ten years. Ji Guoqiu's attack is stronger than Duncan. His score is increasing every year, and his number of shots is also increasing. This is the biggest difference between the two.
Duncan's ability is not found in any flaw. If he insists on finding faults, the only thing that is not worthy of his historical status is his free throws and mid-range. Shi Fo is not as good as Brother Panda in shooting, which is also the reason why he strictly controls his shots.
Ji Guochou strengthened his turn and breakthrough after a strong back-to-body fight in the low post. He also broke through with the ball in the face frame. Since the touch was not good, he used the breakthrough to create damage.
Bosh found that his foul numbers were no longer controlled. He only made a foul in the first quarter and felt very good at that time, but he didn't play for a long time in the second quarter, and he got the second foul in a blink of an eye.
If this continues, wouldn’t it happen yesterday?
The Hots began to double-team Ji Guoqiu, and if Bosh's defensive pressure was not relieved, he might be beaten by Panda Brother again.
Spolstra hit the hand hard. They tied up Panda brothers with one pair, and they would definitely miss someone from the outside. Once the Nets' role players are in good shape, they will go back to the old path of the previous game in this game.
The Filipino's idea has not yet fallen. Korver received a pass from Ji Guoqiu and raised his hand to hit a three-pointer.
Today, Zen master reused Korver and Tony Allen, a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages. Such players are easily caught by weaknesses, so how to use them is also a science.
The Heat team began to lose defensively, but the attacks of the Big Three were still stable. Wade was used to exerting strength in the first half, and there was no annoying Tony Allen entangled around him today. He was in good shape, breaking through and layup and causing Korver to foul, scoring 3 points in a row with free throws and free throws. Then he shook his opponent away from the wing, hitting the middle distance, and scored five points in a row to stop the blood.
At the end of the second quarter, Nash made consecutive three-pointers, and the Nets narrowed the gap to 6 points with 38:44.
The cheers in the Continental Airlines Arena turned into a heat wave and hit Miami players. The Nets' goal chasing points in this quarter was extremely strong, and they kept hitting outside shots, and the score difference narrowed to within 5 points several times.
Spoelstra can only hope to use timeouts to interrupt the Nets players' feel, but he knows that it is sprinkling boiling water to put out the fire, and treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Everyone knows that the root of the problem lies with Ji Guoqiu. As long as they pinch the panda in the inside, all problems can be solved.
But, how to pinch him?
This problem is not solved for the time being. If they double-team, there will be gaps on the outside line; if they don’t double-team, Bosh will not be able to defend it alone.
So in the final analysis, there is still no inside player who can defend Panda Brother alone. Even if there is a player like Noah in the Hot Team, it can reduce the threat of Panda Brother at a low post, and then he will have more means of operating.
But these are all fantasies. The cruel reality is that he only has a few inside players to use, so he can only let Bosh, a real power forward, fight against Ji Guoqiu, a pseudo power forward. This is an unfair battle.
After the last game, Bosh complained privately that Panda Brother was obviously the center forward, so he asked him to defend over the level, and he could play 70% or 80% of his strength, so he was naturally not Ji Guoqiu's opponent in the end. On the contrary, the Nets often defended him not Ji Guoqiu, but Valaijo, so such a showdown was too unfair.
The two teams have been in stalemate for nearly 3 minutes. With the last 35 seconds left in the quarter, James assisted Wade to break through and layup, causing Ji Guoqiong to make a foul. However, with 5 seconds left in the quarter, Nash made another three-pointer, and the Nets chased the score gap to 4 points in the first half with 46:50.
Ji Guoqiu was double-teamed by the Heat and did not make much in the first half, but his data was still very eye-catching just like what the Dead Fox said before the game.
The big screen on the scene released the half-time data of Brother Panda, with 10 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks. Such data is more than just eye-catching. Today, Ji Guoqiu's triple-double will definitely not be able to escape. Getting three assists in the second half is just a task for Brother Panda.
Ji Guoqiu's performance today allowed fans to know what a superstar is?
A superstar can still adjust his state in any unfavorable situation, especially in this bayonet-like playoffs, the performance of a superstar determines how far the team can go.
Ji Guochou felt bad today, so he hit the inside line more. His data and contribution to the team have risen sharply, which is obvious to everyone.
The second-in-command of the Nets performed well today. Nash made three three-pointers in the second quarter. His outstanding performance on the outside was the key to the Nets chasing points. As long as one of Nash and Ji Guoqiu had more assists and the other scored more, the Nets rarely lost the game.
The Heat were able to lead the Nets in the first half all rely on the performance of the Big Three on the offensive end.
This game is a contest between the two teams on "offensive". Since everyone can't defend against each other, whoever gets more points can win the final victory of the game.
James scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half, and his performance was still versatile.
Wade is the Heat's highest scorer in the first half. He scored 15 points in the second quarter and scored 3 rebounds and 2 assists at the end of the half. Once Tony Allen plays too little, Wade cannot be suppressed, which also proves in disguise that Tony Allen's strength in defending the second team is not a flaw.
Chris Bosh only scored 8 points and 5 rebounds in the first half. He has been criticized by fans for too long. His slender mummy figure, Huang Xiaoming's long neck, dissatisfied face, and his short and fat ugly wife all make people feel that this guy is too soft.
During the intermission, the Zen master not only ordered the team to stabilize the defense, but also hoped that the inside would strengthen the rush to the frontcourt rebounds.
In the last game, Valejo and Ji Guoqiu each grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds, almost 20 points for the team. This is where the Heat were very injured. The losses were heavy and they also severely damaged morale.
Today, the Nets lost first and then won. If they could grab a few more frontcourt rebounds in the second half, it would be difficult for the Hots to win.
The second half started again. After the first five minutes, the Hots replaced the pseudo-Graduate Z, the Nets immediately sent a high lineup: Nash, Matthews, Paul George, Ji Guoqiu, and Valaijo.
"George, you can get closer, it doesn't matter if you let him break through." This time, Zen Master ordered the team to lure the enemy deeper on the defensive end and let Paul George put James in to defend.
When I heard this, it seems a bit like the trick of Old Dunleavy's second game. Does the Zen master also want to close the door and beat the dog?
The Nets are different from the Clippers. Valaijo is much more useful than Jordan Jr. At this stage, the Nets are actually playing in a double center. Ji Guoqiu's ability to confront each other clearly reaches the center level. It is difficult for James to get a bargain for defense against these two inside lines under the basket.
James made two shots in the third quarter, but Nash made another three-pointer to respond, which was the fifth three-pointer that the Canadian hit in this game, and he had already scored 20 points.
In the second half, the Nets players' shooting was more decisive. Two 7-foot-long men would rush to the basket to compete for rebounds every time they attacked. Spoelstra seemed to understand the Nets' intention. Are they going to make trouble on rebounds?
The Filipino's idea was not over yet. Ji Guoqiu jumped up under the basket and stretched out his long arm to click the basketball that Matthews missed on Haslem's head to the outside.
Nash watched the basketball fly over and actually bullied Chamos' height. He didn't let the other party jump, so he reached out to take advantage of his height to catch the basketball.
Nets fans laughed at this. They only now realized that their five positions in their team were actually taller than the Heat, and they had an overwhelming advantage in height! (To be continued.)
