Chapter 349: Only 500,000

?? After Game 3, in the Lakers' locker room, the jubilation after the first two games must have disappeared without a trace.

This Lakers played quite depressed, from the beginning to the end of the second quarter, they were always pressed into the water by the Heat without breathing.

The first two games were pressed in front, and the last one was released, and it was extremely happy to win.

This one was directly suffocated.

After the Lakers players refused interviews with most reporters in the locker room after the game, Li Liang closed the door and prepared for a short meeting.

Mike Brown was not there, and went to the press conference alone.

Bass Jr. and Jeanne Bass wanted to go into the locker room to comfort the players, but they were stopped by Li Liang directly at the door.

"Tactical secrets, outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Li Liang's statement made the Bass brothers and sisters angry, but there was no way, it was the finals now, and everything was based on the players first.

The Lakers have suffered from the disunity of players in the past Finals, and this time they are so united that they will win the championship.

The discussion lasted about half an hour, and the reporters waited outside the locker room door with great anxiety.

Wei Dazhi was also among them, and several reporters came up to get close to Wei Dazhi, hoping that he could interview Li Liang later and what was being talked about in the locker room.

Wei Dazhi waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, Bruce won't tell me these things, this is the finals, he has never been so serious." ”

During the finals, Wei Dazhi terminated all other activities and followed the Lakers throughout the game.

In the interval between the three games, in addition to training, Li Liang watched videos, kept fit, and occasionally accompanied Zhu Shu.

This time, there was a post-game meeting to discuss countermeasures, and Li Liang would definitely not reveal any information.

Half an hour later, the door to the locker room opened, and reporters poured in.

The Lakers players gave brief interviews and were silent about what had just been discussed in the locker room.

Wei Dazhi went to the parking lot and drove Li Liang home with him.

Wei Dazhi didn't speak on the way, but Li Liang spoke first: "Hey, why don't you ask, what did we talk about in that half an hour?" ”

Wei Dazhi said: "What is there to talk about, you won't say it anyway." ”

Li Liangdao: "If there is anything that can't be said, we just discussed the way to play the next game." ”

Wei Dazhi said: "That's your team's secret, how can you say it casually." ”

Wei Dazhi said this, but in fact, his ears were erected high, for fear that he didn't hear what Li Liang said.

Li Liangdao: "Actually, it's nothing, in the next game, the team will strengthen two points, one is to strengthen the offense, and the other is to strengthen the defense." ”

Wei Dazhi almost vomited blood, isn't this TM the same as not saying, you tease me!

Wei Dazhi just wanted to complain, but turned his head to see Li Liang lying on the seat with his eyes closed, his face looking a little tired.

It's really uncomfortable to lose, just tease, and make him happy.

……

On June 12, the Lakers had a fully closed practice session, giving only half an hour of media time.

There's no doubt that the Lakers will make major changes in Game 4.

The fourth game is quite crucial for the Lakers, if they can win it, and take a 3-1 lead, no team in NBA history has successfully turned the tables when they are 1-3 down in the Finals.

If the Lakers lose, the two sides will be tied 2-2 and the advantage will return to the Miamians.

Game 5 will be the Lakers' last home court, and the last two games will go to Miami, and the situation will not be good.

So in the fourth game, the Lakers are determined to win.

Because Mike Brown was at the press conference when the Lakers' locker room met that day, he was the last to know what was being discussed.

As the team's head coach, Mike Brown put down his shelf, humbly accepted the players' opinions, and said that he would make changes in Game 4.

On June 13, U.S. time, at half past seven in the evening, the fourth game of the NBA Finals kicked off at Staples Center.

Before the start of the game, on the sidelines, Mike Brown was slightly nervous.

He sat on the bench, seemingly calm, but his hands kept holding on to the frames of his glasses.

Tonight he changed his glasses again, and changed into a pair of yellow-framed glasses, which are the same as the main colors of the Lakers.

The team is obviously still in the advantage, but because it is an advantage, it will suffer more gains and losses.

In contrast, on the Heat's bench, Spo was a little calmer.

The team that is at a disadvantage is often "barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes", but it can fight hard.

The Heat originally had a home-court advantage, but as a result, they lost both home courts, and the pressure was huge.

After winning the third battle, the pressure of the whole team was released at once.

After the third game, Wade and James hugged each other tightly on the court, and winning this game was too important for the team's confidence.

Therefore, before the start of the fourth game, the expression on James's face was much lighter.

By 7:30 a.m., the Staples Center was full, and many of Hollywood's biggest stars were present tonight, and the sidelines were star-studded.

The starting lineups of both sides are still the same as the previous three games, with five people who have been fixed, and at present, neither side has the intention of taking the initiative to change the starting lineup.

The center jumps the ball, and Howard takes the lead again.

In the opening scrum of four games, Bosh did not win.

If you really can't jump, just learn from Li Liang and don't jump, if you don't jump, maybe you can win once in four times, and you can't win even if you jump once.

The Lakers' first offense after the opening, Li Liang squatted in the bottom corner, but it was Howard who came out to block Nash.

After a pick-and-roll screen, Howard cut inside and Nash made a tricky angled ground-and-hitting pass.

Howard received the ball and hit Haslem in front of the middle, and hit a hook hand with his right hand to score the Lakers' first point!

In the last game, the Heat used Bosh to defend Li Liang and Haslem to play against Howard.

Howard only scored 12 points in the game under Haslem's top defense and forward defense, and did not reflect the positional advantage.

As soon as this game opened, Howard singled out Haslem to win, which was a warning to the Heat.

The Heat's Wade responded by using the cover to make a big circle around the three-point line, slipping the baseline and flipping over for a right-handed throw.

After the first two games, Wade was much more aggressive, and he would eat one-on-one when he had the chance.

Even if it's Kobe Bryant who defends him.

In this ball, Kobe Bryant didn't keep up in time, and the bottom line leaked.

Li Liang served Kobe Bryant on the bottom line, and scolded Kobe Bryant by the way.

"Will you follow suit? Hold on, huh? This game has just begun, cheer up! ”

Subsequently, Kobe Bryant really cheered up and made a breakthrough to slip the bottom line, and then gave the ball to Howard in the seam.

Howard catches the ball for a layup, is fouled by Haslem and goes to the free throw line.

But it's a pity that Howard missed two free throws, and the Heat got a backcourt rebound to fight back.

Bosh received a pass from Wade, singled Li Liang one-on-one, and missed a jumper.

The two sides tentatively attacked each other for two rounds, and the hit rate was not high.

Ahead of Game 4, a lot of reporters were covering the Lakers' locker room meeting.

Of course, the Heat's players and coaching staff also got the news, and Spo, Riley and others knew that the Lakers would definitely make adjustments.

So after the start of Game 4, the Heat didn't start with a storm like Game 3, but wanted to see what changes the Lakers made.

It turned out that the main change of the Lakers seems to be the main Howard in the opening game.

This adjustment strategy is an old routine, opening the inside line, and the Heat's inside line is relatively weak.

And Spo was certainly prepared, and the outside line paid attention to the help defense on the inside, and Haslem began to defend Howard around the front.

After the Lakers transferred the ball several times from the outside, Li Liang received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, and when he saw that there was not much time, he shot directly with three points!

Three-point hit!

After more than two minutes in the first quarter, Li Liang hit the first three-pointer of the game.

As soon as Li Liang scored three points, Spo began to get agitated, his ass couldn't sit still, and he got up from the bench and walked around.

And the Heat's sharp knife is still Wade, who broke through the middle and gave the ball to Bosh who went down, and Bosh made a layup under the basket.

Kobe Bryant had defended the ball well, and Howard also blocked it, but Bosh still scored the ball.

The key to the Heat's win in the third game was Wade's start to take over the game and Bosh's outstanding contribution.

In the first two games, Wade played averagely, while Bosh was beaten all over the place, relying on James alone, of course, he couldn't beat it.

Bryant, of course, didn't keep watching Wade play, and then he burst to the baseline with the help of a cover and hit a pull-back jumper.

After that, each side wasted another chance.

Among them, Wade was rarely whistled for a step on the counter-attack, because the ball was not caught properly, resulting in a violation.

The ball was undoubtedly a demoralizing blow to the Heat, and they didn't feel good at the beginning, and this counterattack was invaluable.

And the Lakers seized the opportunity, Li Liang received a pass from Shi in the bottom corner of the left side, and after shaking off Bosh with a three-point feint, he dribbled one step and hit a mid-range jumper!

As soon as the goal went in, Mike Brown breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

Li Liang, this kid, really dares to vote and dare to shoot.

At 9:4, the Lakers led by 5 points and they had a good start.

The Heat played an attacking wave at the beginning of the last game, and this one was obviously in a much worse state at the beginning.

Except for the layup that received Wade's pass, Bosh missed none of his next few shots.

And Nash and Kobe repeatedly broke through the Heat's interior line, and finally after Nash hit the basket on the left side, he gave the ball to Howard who was inserted in the middle.

Haslem's defense was not out of position, Howard received the ball and seemed to be about to get up, but he didn't expect him to collect the ball after lifting the ball, twisted his body, and handed the ball to Li Liang who inserted it from the bottom!

After Li Liang received the ball, he jumped up and scored a violent dunk with one hand!

This buckle was exactly the same as the first game, and it stopped the Heat again.

Spo called a timeout, and he looked up at the big screen, 11:4, and the Heat trailed by seven points.

It's not that they're down by 7 points now, it's that Spo hasn't seen where the Lakers are really adjusting.

At the same time, the state of this heat made him worried, and the Bosh guy rose and withered.

How can an All-Star who has been fighting in the league for 10 years be as good as a second-round show?

Spo couldn't help but think that if Bruce Lee was in the Heat, they should have swept their opponent 4-0.

And this guy only needs 500,000.
