NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 264 20, I have the advantage!
The result was no surprise.

The Warriors finally missed a quick three-pointer, and Xue Liancheng pushed over and made another shot.

The game is over.

The Heat defeated the Warriors 97:85 and got off to a good start.

The 12-point difference seems not small, but if you exclude Xue Liancheng's two 100% hits, there is only a 6-point advantage.

and so.

The process was not as easy as imagined. It could even be said that the battle was fierce until the last minute before the final winner was decided.

薛连城表现还可以，14投7中，三分球5投3中，砍下了21分11助攻6篮板。

He made 10 of 4 shots in the first three quarters, and finally pushed his shooting percentage to 50%. It was mainly the last two three-pointers that saved his efficiency.

However, 11 assists still reflect his unparalleled ability to read the game.

After four quarters of the game, he did everything he could to get double-digit assists. How could an average person do this?

But he unknowingly got 11 assists.

This is a reflection of his ability to read the game. As long as there is the slightest opportunity, he can firmly seize it.

Wade's performance in this game was pretty good. He made 19 of 9 shots and scored 23 points. However, he did not have Xue Liancheng's super ability to read the game. He only had 3 assists and 7 rebounds. Overall, he was not as good as Xue Liancheng. It's not as unsightly as last season's finals.

This also proves that Wade's current strength is still very strong.

The performance of the double gun in the backcourt was pretty good, and another hero was Ibaka. He scored 11 points and 6 rebounds on 17 of 7 shots. He was the third scoring point after Xue Liancheng and Wade.

The three of them scored 61 points together.

I have to say that Gasol's absence is more of an opportunity for Ibaka.

Because Xue Liancheng often completes pick-and-rolls with Ibaka.

The separated ball also allows Ibaka to finish more often, which makes his data even better.

If Gasol was there, Ibaka would be more likely to pounce in the corner or follow up with air cuts, but he wouldn't have so many opportunities.

Except for the three of them, the others performed relatively averagely and were just passable, but no one could score in double figures.

PJ Tucker made 7 of 2 shots and only scored 5 points. After that three-pointer, it was a mess.

Batum had 8 points, Chalmers had 7 points, Marcus Morris had 6 points, and Beasley had 5 points.

Haslem held on for a while and scored 2 points, while Ennis scored 3 points.

That's all the Heat scored.

The performance of the bench was okay, but compared to the Warriors, it seemed to be a step behind.

For the Warriors, Curry made 19 of 8 shots and scored 23 points, plus 6 assists and 6 rebounds.

However, his 9-for-3 three-pointers were not very good. The last two three-pointers really scared people into cold sweats.

But it was just a little scary.

Thompson made 16 of 6 shots and scored 17 points. He also made 8 of 2 three-pointers.

The Warriors' double guns in the backcourt can be regarded as a collective flameout.

Chai Dan was the loudest, but he scored 10 points on 2 of 7 shots. Except for the third quarter, he had no performance at all.

Bogut scored 4 points and 2 rebounds on 4 of 6 shots, which was pretty good, but he didn't play much time and had no room to perform at all.

Barnes?
Swallowed 0 eggs.

of course.

He didn't perform very well on the offensive end, but he still did a good job defensively. He is an important part of the unlimited defensive strategy.

And Iguodala on the bench had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. His performance was very comprehensive and his efficiency was also good.

Speights had 11 points, Livingston had 4 points, and Barbosa had 4 points.

Overall, the Warriors bench performed better than the Heat, at least in terms of scoring.

But Iguodala is a pseudo substitute. His playing time is as high as 32 minutes, which is longer than the real starters Bogut and Barnes.

If Iguodala is excluded, the benches of both sides are almost the same.

It was a good start without any danger, and the reaction from the outside world was not too great.

Because that's to be expected.

If the Heat lose at home, then the problem will be serious.

And after the game.

The two sides started to argue again.

Ibaka immediately updated Twitter: Facts have proved that bad mouth can only disgust people and not have much effect.

This is a powerful response to Egg Chase Green calling him an orphan.

After all, we won!

In the world of competitive sports, winning is worth everything and is worth a thousand words.

Winning is the hardest truth, and winning brings the hardest confidence.

Logically speaking, after losing a game, most people should huddle up like quails and not dare to say anything.

But it was obvious that Chai Dan Green was not an ordinary person. He immediately asked: Orphans are orphans. Do they lack love?Just winning a game made me feel like I had won the whole world.

Marcus Morris: The mouth is really tough, but that’s fine, it’s just loud enough when you slap him.

Green: What are you?
马库斯-莫里斯发出胜利的宣言：我好歹5投2中拿下6分，有人10投2中拿下7分，我也不知道你是个什么东西，垃圾吗？
Ibaka immediately hit Marcus Morris: Haha... Bro, you used the adjectives very well.

Chasing Egg Green is unafraid: I am in the starting lineup even though I am playing so poorly, but some people are playing so well but are squatting on the bench and struggling for playing time. It is really rubbish.

……

The scolding war between the two sides was endless again.

Moreover, Green not only quarreled with Ibaka and Marcus Morris, but even some Heat fans were picked out by him and yelled at him, showing his strong fighting ability.

The players were yelling at each other off the field, not to mention the fans, who were yelling at each other louder and louder.

"Haha, what about dominance? Does 21+11 mean dominance?"

"Without Wade, you're just a chicken."

"You're right, this is Wade's team. They brushed up some statistics and forced Lai Lai to think they were the savior."

"Why can't this work? Isn't it crazy?"

The main point of attack for Warriors fans is Xue Liancheng.

There is no doubt that they are still aggrieved by the issue of MVP ownership.

It happened that Xue Liancheng's performance was relatively average in this game, only scoring 21 points and 11 assists, which immediately became a gap in their attack.

of course.

Only in relative terms.

21 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, and a shooting percentage of 50%. Such statistics are extremely outstanding for any defender and can be called a top-notch existence.

But only Xue Liancheng couldn't.

Because Xue Liancheng is the regular season MVP, he is known as Miami's savior, a new superstar, and full of dominance.

Especially in the Eastern Conference Finals, Xue Liancheng scored 34.2 points, 14 assists and 6.2 rebounds after his comeback.

Compare.

Isn’t 21+11+6 frustrating?
The answer is no doubt, frustrating as hell.

This is how the public has differentiated their standards for Xue Liancheng, and their requirements for Xue Liancheng are also different.

在大家的期待值中，薛连城应该大发神威，不说维持34.2分14助攻6.2篮板的超级数据，但至少也是30+10+6才说得过去。

21+11+6 is obviously not convincing.

This has become a point of attack for Warriors fans.

However, the public did not think there was any problem. 21+11+6 was indeed relatively average for Xue Liancheng.

Of course, the Heat fans were not to be outdone and took advantage of this to fight back.

"Mad! When will the data of 21 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds be criticized?"

"Look at your Curry. He made 19 of 8 shots and only scored 23 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds. What qualifications do you have to criticize Xue Liancheng?"

"Isn't this OK? Then tell me, what is OK?"

"The last two three-pointers killed you and made you jump?"

"The Heat have always played with a dual core in the backcourt. Wade played really well, but where did Xue Liancheng go wrong?"

"Without Thompson and Iguodala, who is Curry?"

The two sides began to discuss this issue, and then turned into a war of words.

And it's kind of out of control.

And in the midst of the turbulent sound.

The second game of the finals begins.

Still at the AmericanAirlines Arena Center in Miami.

As soon as the show started, the smell of gunpowder was ignited.

When Ibaka and Green were blocked, they somehow got entangled and started pushing each other.

This brief conflict quickly subsided.

But this is only the beginning.

Subsequently, the confrontation between the two parties became more and more fierce and violent, and there was more and more saliva.

In another confrontation, Green directly knocked Ibaka to the ground.

This is incredible!

Ibaka also has a bad temper and is a well-known tough guy in the league. He is not afraid of anyone when he fights.

So after getting up.He directly chased Green and punched him. He was like a bull, unable to pull him back.

Don't look at Green's hard work off the court, and his awesomeness on the court, but in fact he is still a bit of a pusher.

It's relatively good to do a little trick to trick someone.

But if it comes to a real fight, he is the younger brother in front of Ibaka. He was punched so many times that his jawbone was opened.

Fortunately, the other players on both sides were relatively calm and quickly separated the two.

Green was breathing heavily, covering his jawbone with one hand, and his other hand was nowhere to be found. He was obviously stunned.

He didn't expect that just by adding some confrontation and small moves, Ibaka would actually follow him for real.

Zhen raised his fist and greeted him in the face.

Tell the truth.

He never thought about actually fighting.

Now that he was done, he suffered a big loss. This made him wake up quickly, and fire was about to burst out of his eyes.

But helpless.

You can't rush forward and continue to fuck Ibaka, right?
He would not do such a thing as humiliating himself, but he still had this self-awareness.

and so.

He could only stand there angrily and quietly let the team doctor handle it.

He looked quite embarrassed and disgraced.

On the other side, Ibaka was still gnashing his teeth and looking over to protest.

It seemed that as long as Green showed a little dissatisfaction, he would break free and everyone would rush forward to do it again.

Especially with the loud cheers from the scene, Ibaka became obviously more and more excited.

After the two people basically calmed down, the referee went to watch the replay.

The final ruling was that both players were given two technical fouls and were directly expelled from the game.

There is no problem with this whistle.

If Ibaka chases someone and hits him, he will definitely be sent out.

Green knocked the person over, and he also fought back while being chased. However, he had never beaten the egg before, so it was reasonable for him to be expelled.

The staff accompanied the two people, but the emotions of the fans at the scene reached their peak.

When Green walked into the tunnel, abuse broke out on the floor.

"It makes you have a bad mouth..."

"Get comfortable, you weakling!"

"If you dare to provoke me, my head will be knocked off."

"You bully the weak and fear the strong. Do you think you can bully anyone?"

"It doesn't matter whose territory this is."

After a meal of output, the fans felt comfortable.

Green, however, was still very sensible and did not respond. He disappeared into the player tunnel dejectedly.

This episode came and went suddenly.

But the game has to go on.

The Heat sent Marcus Morris to replace Ibaka.

Now Marcus Morris is not as bloated as he was later, and his body shape is relatively well maintained, so his flexibility and speed are pretty good.

Although the physical talent is far behind Ibaka, it is still barely enough.

It's definitely impossible to make up for the deficiencies in offense and defense, but he can finally take Ibaka's place.

The Warriors were not so lucky.

For the Warriors, Green is definitely not reflected in the statistics. Although he only averages 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, his role is extremely huge.

It is no exaggeration to say that Green is the third giant of the current Warriors...

Ah!
Maybe describing him as a giant is a bit exaggerated. To be precise, he should be the third core of the Warriors, and his role is irreplaceable.

In the words of cousin Lillard: Curry is not the Warriors point guard, the real point guard is Draymond Green.

That's right.

In the Warriors' death five small lineup, Green took on the team's offense organizing and supporting tasks, and was even the starting point of the team's offense.

He is the one who receives the ball and makes the Warriors' runs and cuts work. He is the real core member.

One can imagine how high Green's tactical status is.

Besides.

Green is a player who combines speed and strength. He appears to be a power forward, but in fact he is only 201cm tall and has a typical small forward figure. This allows him to take into account his flexibility and the strength to defend the inside. , can also defend against small players, and has outstanding defensive ability. It is the key to the operation of the five small players of death, and is the core of unlimited defense tactics.

and……

Green's current offensive level is still very good. His shooting efficiency is at the league average and his three-point shooting percentage is also at the pass line. He has not deteriorated as seriously as he did later and became a burden on the offensive end.

and so……

The loss of Green is an irreparable loss for the Warriors.

No one can replace Green.

Looking at this comparison, the main players of both sides were expelled, and it was obviously the Warriors who suffered a big loss.

Although Ibaka is equally important on both ends of the Heat's offense and defense, his role is still far behind Green's role in the Warriors.

And this drawback soon became apparent in the following games.

Whether it is big center Bogut, Speights, or David Lee, they all eventually became the targets of military training by Xue Liancheng and Wade.

The Heat took advantage of the Warriors' slow defense to penetrate the Warriors' defense.

Halftime is over.

The Heat led the Warriors by 57 points 44:13, once again showing the style of a top team.

Although the Heat's own inside line is also stretched, they still have Beasley or Haslem on the bench, which is completely enough.

of course.

The most important thing is that the Warriors themselves do not have a very dominant inside line and cannot form absolute suppression.

Coupled with the lack of Green to receive the ball, their offense had big problems.

Whether it was Curry's movement or Thompson's movement, even if he ran out of position, there was no smooth passing like a thread, causing them to miss many opportunities.

And their pauses were so serious that air cuts turned into invalid insertions.

In the end, after much back and forth, Curry and Thompson still had to play singles.

Both of them had recovered somewhat in this game, but they couldn't stand up to the sluggishness of the others, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, halfway through the fourth quarter, they were already 20 points behind.

He wanted to struggle, but was finally defeated by Xue Liancheng's two consecutive three-pointers.

Finally the game is over.

The score is fixed at 118:96.

The Warriors lost by a full 22 points and were hung up and beaten by the Heat.

Sure enough, without Green, no matter whether they are the first one, the fourth one, or the fifth one, they will not be able to function.

On the contrary, the Heat finally returned to the surging firepower before, and the waves of attacks were so fierce that it was terrifying.

薛连城再次完成爆发，20投12中，三分8投4中，爆砍31分外加还有13助攻5篮板。

He once again showed his devastating ability to lead the offense, leaving holes in the Warriors' defense.

Wade also performed well, making 22 of 12 shots and scoring 30 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds. The strength of the top shooting guard was once again verified.

The two teamed up to score 61 points, accounting for nearly half of the team's scores.

Everyone knows that Xue Liancheng or Wade can attack, but the Warriors just can't hold on. Their unlimited defense is full of loopholes, especially the slow pace of the inside players, who are often passed by in one step.

of course.

The man who can get through it in one step is Wade.

Xue Liancheng doesn't have such outstanding speed and explosive power, but after he adjusts his rhythm, these big men can't stop him.

The two men's alternating attacks completely destroyed the Warriors' defensive weakness.

Marcus Morris had 16 points and 8 rebounds. He perfectly replaced Ibaka on the offensive end, but his ability to assist defense and make up for defense was a little worse, which was also the weakness that Curry and Thompson seized on.

Batum scored 12 points and performed steadily. He had a good three-point touch and scored 2 three-pointers.

PJ Tucker finally woke up in this game. He also scored 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points. His performance was extremely impressive.

Chalmers on the bench also scored in double figures, scoring 10 points.

According to statistics, a total of 6 Heat players scored in double figures, and finally had some of the invincible style of the regular season.

Warriors here.

库里22投11中，三分11中5，也疯狂揽下33分8助攻7篮板的数据，打得非常出彩。

The other Splash Brothers, Thompson made 19 of 10, also scored 4 three-pointers and scored 28 points.

pity……

Except for them, everyone else's performance was a mess, and no one scored in double figures.

This shows Green's influence on both ends of the Warriors' offense and defense.

Also in history, an important reason why the Warriors led 3:1 but were overturned is because Green was suspended, otherwise it would be difficult for the Cavaliers to have a chance.

And now, the Heat have a big score of 2:0, and I really have the advantage.
