The first game of the 2013 finals will start on time at 07:30 pm Pacific time.
Tonight, the Staples Center courtside was full of stars. Many big names in sports, entertainment, and music came to the scene to choose the most expensive and most conspicuous seats.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At that time, online marketing was not particularly prosperous in 2013, so the celebrities dressed in a normal way, which was really good-looking.
But as time went on, there were more and more weird clothes, which even affected the NBA. Some players also started to wear strange clothes before going on the court.
In the past few years, the Clippers have almost replaced the Lakers and become the new sports and social event in Los Angeles.
With David Beckham leading the sports world and Kanye leading the music world, showbiz still lacks a number one fan, but there will always be one.
In the opening show before the game, according to Min Congda's request, the most dazzling national style was played and Chinese dances were performed.
Min Congda originally wanted to use this earthy song to bore American fans, and then he didn't want to come to watch the game.
Who knows that Americans are more rustic than Chinese, but listening to the most dazzling national style is very addictive, and everyone likes it very much!
Min Congda really had no choice but to sit quietly on the sidelines and watch the game.
The starting lineups of the two sides, the Clippers are still the regular five tigers, and the Heat are Howard, Bosh, Nash, Wade and Lewis.
The lineups on both sides are quite strong, and the Heat's lineup looks more luxurious, with five All-Stars, of which Nash, Wade, and Howard are all All-Star starting-level superstars.
Their biggest loophole is Lewis. Lewis used to be an All-Star player, but as he gets older, he no longer has the skills he used to.
The main value of Lewis is to open up space on the offensive end with three-pointers and provide a certain height and defense on the defensive end.
At the same time, Nash is 38 years old, and he can only last about 20 minutes in a finals-level game.
Before the game, Nash was shown on the scene several times. The former son of wind cut off his long hair and kept short hair in hot Miami.
His expression was very calm, and he couldn't imagine how excited Nash was after defeating the Cavaliers in Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals to win the Eastern Conference championship.
He jumped three feet high, and he was almost able to dunk, just like when Stockton lore the Rockets to reach the finals in 1997, years of persistence finally paid off on the highest stage.
Now, he will face the challenge of Stephen Curry, a rising star super point guard. Before the game, Curry was extremely excited. Nothing can stimulate the desire to win more than meeting an opponent like Nash in the finals.
The game started under the flashing lights of the scene, the ball was jumped, Howard jumped high, and was the first to touch the ball.
The Heat started their first offense in the finals. Nash held the ball and quickly crossed the half court, handing it over to Wade who came to meet him.
Wade received the ball on the left, dribbled the ball in a large arc on the right, from left to center and then to right, circled a large circle, and then cut in from the bottom line on the right.
Suddenly accelerated—although the speed wasn't that fast, he went to the basket, made a throw shot looking back at the moon, and scored two points.
The Heat scored first!
In the Heat's first offense at the beginning, Wade used his slow speed to break into the gaps in the Clippers' defense and used his personal ability to score goals.
It can be clearly seen from this ball that Wade's tactical awareness is very strong, and he has an excellent grasp of the timing of breakthroughs, but his physical fitness is really not as good as before.
In 2006, if the ball went to the basket like this, it would definitely be a reflexive one-handed dunk, or it would be a dunk without circling around the bottom line.
But now his knees no longer support him to do such an action. He uses his brain and consciousness more to catch the loopholes in the Clippers' defense.
The inside combination of Clippers Randolph + Gasol Jr., the biggest problem on the defensive end is mobility.
Bosh and Howard happened to be able to face Randolph and Gasol Jr., and the two sides must be fighting in the paint.
The Clippers' start is also very characteristic of their tactics. Curry dribbled the ball halfway and handed it to George.
I slipped to the bottom line without the ball, and also slipped from the left to the right. After using the screen to get rid of Nash, I received the ball from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and made a quick three-pointer!
Curry's shot was like a samurai's sword-drawing technique. It was launched from the waist, quickly thrown, and the sharp blade was unsheathed. Before the opponent could react, the head fell to the ground.
Curry scored three points at the start, which is a good sign for the Clippers.
Sitting off the court, Tyronn Lue was greatly relieved to see Curry hit a three-pointer.
He knows that if the Clippers can make a three-pointer, the Heat have little chance of winning against the Clippers.
If even Tyronn Lue can understand this truth, Heat coach Spoeldo has no reason not to understand.
He knows that letting Nash start against Curry will have a great disadvantage on the defensive end.
But there is no way, whether it is due to Nash's status or the starting offensive combing, the Heat need Nash to be able to support at least 10 minutes.
We can only hope that Nash can make up for the loopholes on the defensive end on the offensive end.
The Heat's second offensive round used the same tactics as the first round.
Nash takes the ball outside the left three-point line, then walks the baseline to take away the defense.
Wade started to circle again, from left to right, Bosh inside attracted the defense.
But this time the Clippers learned their lesson. George didn't focus on Bosh, but faced Wade one-on-one on the baseline.
Wade had no way to steal the bottom line and kill the basket like he did just now, so he passed the ball to Bosh in the low post.
When Bosh faced Randolph, Sigma turned to face the basket and missed a 45-degree mid-range jump shot.
Howard got an offensive rebound, but Gasol Jr. played the ball very well. After being pushed by Howard, he fell forward.
The referee called Howard for a rebounding foul.
Spoelstra saw it from the sidelines and argued loudly with the referee, saying how could the ball be fouled?
Less than 2 minutes into the game, Howard received a foul, which was quite detrimental to the Heat.
Min Congda shook his head slightly while sitting off the court. He was dissatisfied with neither the referee's call, nor Spoelstra's weakness.
"You are a Filipino, you can't even argue with the referee, you are too fucking soft! Curse! You can't do it later, I will scold you later."
Min Congda is full of anger now. Just now he asked the system if he could collect fees by accepting interviews.
As expected, he was rejected by the system. If he wanted to make money, he still had to follow the rules given by the system, which made Min Congda very angry.
I can’t even collect money for interviews by myself?This system is too domineering, but I have no choice but to bow my head.
Now that Howard is called a foul at the beginning, it is very detrimental to the Heat. As long as the Clippers have a normal mind, they will attack Howard.
Sure enough, in the second round, Curry received the ball at 45 degrees, broke through the left center, Howard defended, and Curry scored the ball to Randolph who cut in from the wing.
Randolph caught the ball for a layup, but Howard turned around and blocked Randolph with his left hand in the air!Successfully blocked this attack!
"nice shot!"
Min Congda couldn't help but praise, and then hurriedly silenced.
This ball Howard is really bold, knowing that the two fouls in the opening will be extremely passive, but he still took the risk to block the shot.
Moreover, he first assisted Curry with this ball, and after it landed, he turned around and then defended Randolph. His reaction speed can be described as top-notch.
It can be seen that Howard is also in excellent condition, and he has made enough preparations for this finals.
After all, after defeating James to enter the Finals in 2009, people believed that Howard's center era was coming.
Unexpectedly, what was thought to be the beginning turned out to be the pinnacle.
In 10 years, Howard focused on developing his own shooting and offense.
But it turns out that he is not this material. The more he develops, the more damage he will actually do to the team.
In the next few years, Howard and the Magic fell into silence. It was not until this year when he came to the Heat that Howard ushered in a new life.
Under the guidance of center guru Pat Riley, Howard is in his best form since 09.
After all, Howard's master was Ewing, and Ewing's former mentor was Riley.
The master is here, if you don’t listen to him, who else can you listen to?
When Riley came to the Knicks, he built Ewing into a defensive behemoth.
Howard is also a center who contributes much more to defense than offense.
He doesn't realize this himself, he must let reality teach him how to be a man.
Of course, the Heat still let Howard play one occasionally.
On the next ball, Howard quickly passed halftime, then quickly sank into the low post, stuck Gasol Jr. for the ball.
Nash's value at this time is reflected, a precise through ball directly to the basket.
Howard received the ball, turned around and made an easy layup, scored two points, and the Heat overtook 4:3.
At the beginning, the Heat performed quite well, with a very clear tactical idea, a very organized game, fast and slow, and a solid defense.
In comparison, the Clippers did not give full play to their advantages. Except for Curry's three-pointer, the next two offenses were fruitless.
It must be admitted that in terms of the lineup alone, the Bosh + Howard insider of the Heat is indeed the team that can best target the Clippers.
Many people only see that the Clippers have fierce outside firepower, Curry has three-pointers, Harden is comprehensive, the three small forwards are full of vitality, and the team's passing and cutting tactics are as sharp as a scalpel.
But no matter how Steve Kerr reduced the proportion of Randolph and Gasol in the offense and focused on building the Clippers into an offensive team dominated by the perimeter, Kerr did not give up on Randolph and Gasol. Gasol's basic tactical position.
After Mike Malone came, he emphasized the importance of the combination of Randolph and Gasol Jr., both defensively and offensively.
These two people have always been the Clippers' pinpoint presence in the interior, and they played a vital role in many high-intensity playoff games.
Even in last year's finals, many people believed that Curry should not win the MVP, and Randolph is the real MVP, and he contributed a lot in the comeback game.
Now, Bosh and Howard can face Randolph and Gasol, regardless of offense and defense.
Therefore, an important offensive and defensive basic for the Clippers has been contained, and some invisible advantages will disappear.
For example, the extremely solid backcourt rebounds, Randolph's frontcourt rebounds from time to time, Randolph's stable low-post scoring when the offense cannot be opened, etc.
Seven minutes into the first quarter, the Clippers trailed the Heat by one point at 7:12.
Howard contributed 7 points, 5 blocks and 2 rebounds in 5 minutes with a foul on his back.
It can be said that Howard used his excellent performance at the beginning to help the Heat suppress the Clippers.
At this time, the Clippers have begun to enter the rotation time, and it is time to test Tyronn Lue's substitution level.
With the level of Lu's guidance, he can treat headaches and heal feet, which is already very good, at least he knows that it is headaches.
Therefore, Tyronn Lue replaced Randolph with Anthony Davis, and asked Fatty Lan to rest and take a break.
Randolph didn't score in the first quarter. Howard is indeed a difficult guy. It is definitely not easy to beat Howard one-on-one.
When he played Jordan in the Western Conference finals, Randolph was still quite relaxed. Regardless of Jordan's tall stature and high physical fitness, he is not good at one-on-one defense.
It is easy to be distracted, easy to be pointed, and the defensive coverage area is not enough, and the bullet speed is average.
Howard is different, a high-quality defensive master with a strong deterrent effect on blocking shots.
When you take a shot and Howard rushes in, it's hard to maintain a perfect shot.
But Tyronn Lue on Anthony Davis is not a brilliant move, even a bit risky.
Because Davis is a rookie after all, and his strength is not offense, but defense.
However, Tyronn Lue let Davis appear, mainly to allow him and Gasol to have some high and low inside cooperation.
The idea is good, but it was not successful in actual application, because the Heat's pre-game preparations were very good.
The pace of the game was suppressed very slowly by the Heat, and they fell into a large number of one-on-ones, and the coherent offense was cut into pieces.
The Heat are very good at playing this kind of game rhythm. Everyone is slow, the defense is strong, and the scoring is piecemeal. Don't think about passing and cutting or fast offense.
Don't even think about shooting from a wide open position. It's impossible for you to make a fast break, and you will be pulled down if you pull.
In addition, Anthony Davis was inexperienced. As soon as he came on the court, he was rushed by Wade and made a defensive foul.
Wade stood on the free throw line and made two free throws. The Heat led the Clippers by 15 points at 12:3.
Min Congda didn't expect such a situation, he silently praised the Heat and Spoelstra in his heart.
He also set a rule for himself in his heart: "This time, no matter what, you can't give advice to the Clippers. If you give advice, you are a dog! You are a dog!"
Min Congda still remembers a few times before, giving tactical advice to the Clippers in difficulties, and one time it was leaked by Fan Chen, which caused the Clippers to get out of difficulties.
What is it called?This is called digging one's own grave.How can such a thing be done?
At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led the Clippers by 25 points at 22:3.
They got off to a good start, occupying a favorable situation at the beginning of the away game.
