Chapter 277 The Unshakable Purple and Gold Legion
"From the first half of the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers obviously did a better job."
"As we said before the game, Howard's sudden comeback has put great pressure on the Miami Heat!"
"They suffered a lot in the penalty area tonight."
"Especially Chris Bosh, when he faced Pau Gasol, he was still able to gain the upper hand with his athletic ability and inside skills."
"But in front of Howard, some of his advantages were almost completely lost."
"The Miami Heat urgently need to solve the inside problem, otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to have another chance in tonight's game!"
Zhang Lili said to the camera.
While talking, Howard completed another dunk under the basket, helping the Lakers continue to widen the point difference.
Although it was an away game, the momentum of the game completely fell to the Zijin Army.
On the sidelines, Coach Spoelstra couldn't help calling the first timeout of the game.
For this pause, he had to change his combat strategy.
"Dwight is too strong at this point, we have to keep him away from the basket as much as possible!"
"Mike, when necessary, you must assist Chris to deal with that guy."
"Dwight's skills are relatively rough. Once he is flanked, the offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced."
"And try not to let him catch the pass so easily. Dwight, who doesn't have the ball in his hands, is a stronger blue-collar center."
Coach Spoelstra is especially targeting Howard. He hopes to resolve the huge threat of the Heat's restricted area by double-teaming.
As for Paul Gasol, he can be emptied, after all, Gasol's deterrence is far less than Howard's.
Even if he is given an open shot, he doesn't have the ability to kill the game.
On the other side, the Lakers are on the bench.
"Dwight, the next thing you have to do is to take the initiative to cooperate with me in the high position, or help Qin play some pick-and-rolls."
"This time they called a timeout, and they are bound to make some arrangements against you."
"Your threat in the penalty area may be affected, and with pick-and-roll cooperation, you can make adjustments at any time depending on the situation."
Kobe said to Howard patiently.
You know, he rarely does this, just because this is the match point battle of the finals, and he doesn't want to lose.
Howard nodded. Now he no longer resists Kobe as he did before.
"no problem!"
Howard patted his chest and agreed.
For the championship, he is willing to make sacrifices and changes.
Soon the timeout ended and the game continued.
The Heat sent a sideline kick, and James gave the ball to Wade again. He felt that he was in a bad state.
Instead of holding the ball in isolation, it would be better to give the ball to Wade.
Although he also knows that doing so may be questioned by fans, James no longer cares so much.
He just wants to use the best way to help the team bite the score.
Only in this way can the Miami Heat have a chance to recover the points difference.
When Bosh was restricted by Howard and James was in poor condition, all hopes were pinned on Wade.
In a desperate situation, Wade was unequivocal.
He received a pass from James and launched an attack decisively.
Under the cover of his teammates, he bypassed Kobe and went straight to the basket.
Howard is a pillar of strength inside, and what Wade has to do is to defeat Howard.
The signature 'maze step' was used, and Howard made a prediction in advance.
Wade throws his body into the air, and when Howard jumps to block the shot, he does an extreme bar pull.
Cleverly avoids Howard's block and puts the ball in the basket.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded!
"WOW!"
"Wade challenged Dwight to score head-on, and also caused a foul by the opponent. He has a chance to score 2+1."
"This ball made me see the shadow of the peak Flash."
"In the last four games of the 2006 Finals, he had this amazing performance."
"The breakthrough layup like just now is his big trump card!"
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith said excitedly.
The 'Wade Throw' back then was an invincible move.
It's just that with the increase of age and injuries, Wade has rarely played like he did back then.
And tonight, the Miami Heat have reached a critical stage of survival.
In this desperate situation, the strongest Uncle Wei was finally forced out.
At the free throw line, Wade made a steady free throw.
At this time, his eyes became cold and ruthless, and his whole body exuded a strong fighting spirit!
Even Kobe felt that invisible force.
This is the aura of a superstar, so powerful and meaningless that it even makes people fearful.
This kind of thing is invisible and intangible, but it really exists.
The next round, Wade came again.
Taking advantage of rhythm and speed, he passed Kobe again.
This time, he chose to stop and throw a shot, and also scored the ball.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
After the goal was scored, the Heat's home fans finally chanted the slogan of MVP.
It's just that Wade has not been able to win a regular season MVP until now, but it is enough for him to have an FMVP!
If there is any regret in his career, this should be his biggest regret.
Feeling the fans' expectations for him, Wade started the playoff killing mode!
In addition to making continuous breakthroughs and causing damage, even the outside long-range shots that he is not very good at can hit.
Uncle Wei like this has not appeared for a long time.
But even though he has maximized his personal offense, he failed to narrow the point difference.
The Los Angeles Lakers are also unstoppable on the offensive end. The combination of Kobe and Qin Xiao, coupled with Howard's pick-and-roll cooperation.
The personal abilities of these three people are all very strong, and they are even more unstoppable after joining forces!
Howard's pick-and-roll quality is very high, often helping Kobe and Qin Xiao to form a dislocation.
In this situation, Kobe and Qin Xiao's singles ability with the ball can be fully utilized.
Fight big with small, this is the rhythm that every singles king is very good at!
……
After a while, the first quarter came to an end at 35:28
The Miami Heat at home are seven points behind the Lakers.
It is worth mentioning that Wade scored 12 points alone in the second half of the first quarter, almost playing a superb performance, but they failed to prevent the Lakers' offense.
Therefore, not only did not narrow the point difference, but it was opened up by one point.
For the Lakers, Kobe and Qin Xiao contributed 8 and 10 points respectively in the first quarter.
The best performer was Howard, who scored 8 points and 5 rebounds in the first quarter.
Although the statistics are similar to those of Kobe and Qin Xiao, it is precisely because of his dominance in the penalty area that the Heat's defense is miserable!
If the Heat can't do anything about Howard, this game will be difficult for them!
