Chapter 366 The Founding of the Dynasty
After finishing the post-match interview, Li Yue returned to the locker room, took a shower and left the arena directly. Taylor called halfway and talked about some endorsement matters.
After returning to the apartment, he didn't even care about social network comments, and fell asleep after talking with Chen Xi.
Early the next morning, he got up to make breakfast, and turned on the TV to listen to the news, just in time for ESPN's "FIRST TAKE" program, the host was the beauty Molly, and two guests, Stephen A. Smith and Scape, were taken.
The show happened to discuss Li Yue and LeBron, who gets more benefits from teammates.
["Everyone only sees the Heat losing, but I firmly believe that LeBron has no responsibility." Scape said, "He doesn't have a qualified Finals-level teammate. Wade used to be one, but now it has fallen sharply. Personal strength can only be regarded as the starting level of weak teams, and Chris Bosh basically has no positive effect, and he is not even as good at rebounding as Anderson."
"You can criticize Bosh's low scoring average, but you can't criticize him for not being as good at rebounding as Anderson." Stephen said, "Because after he came to the Heat from the Raptors, his tactical position changed from the inside core to the outside turret. Unless the rebounds are coming to him every time, there's no way he's going to grab too many rebounds, it's not about his individual ability."
"We have seen a lot of NBA games. Every dynasty-level team, there will always be someone who needs to make changes, especially the team formed through trade and free market," Scape said, "It's like the Celtics back then, At the beginning of Garnett's joining, the number of personal rebounds per game dropped from 12.8 to 9.2, but then it remained stable. How can it be like Bosh, which has been declining every season? Is it because Coach Spoelstra prevented him from rebounding? "
Stephen opened his mouth to speak, but Scape continued: "I know some people will say that it is because LeBron pursues triple-double data and takes away too many rebounds from Bosh, but please check carefully the number of rebounds per game that LeBron joined the Heat. In fact, it is almost the same as when he was in the Cavaliers. There was a little improvement last season, and this season has reached the second last in the last ten years.
Moreover, the Heat's inside lineup has not changed much, so Bosh, as a forward and center, seriously drags the team back in terms of personal rebounds, and the offensive end cannot achieve stable scoring, which is completely a side effect for the Heat. "
The voice fell, and after waiting for three seconds, Stephen A. Smith said: "Maybe you are right, but this does not mean that LeBron is irresponsible. He made a few key mistakes at the last moment..."
Scape shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Michael Jordan will also perform abnormally, but if LeBron did not rely on his own strength to carry the situation in the first three quarters, the fourth quarter would be completely garbage time. He scored 45 points, so what else? "
Molly interjected: "Guys, we should return to the topic, who benefits more, Li Yue or LeBron?"
Stephen was about to speak, but Scape rushed to say: "Is there still a need for discussion? Of course, Li Yue benefited more. He was fouled five times. The Lakers coaching staff directly arranged for him to play point guard. The position of small forward was determined by Iguodala was replaced by the first-team defender, and Bryant Kobe, the nine-time first-defense winner, can be partnered in the backcourt. It can be said that there is no pressure and no impact."
Stephen hurriedly said: "I admit that you are right, but Iguodala was also won by Li Yue and the Lakers management, including their two potential rookies. The Heat also enjoyed the same benefits at the beginning, and now they are just paying off their debts. The Lakers are also about to face the problem of salary space explosion, so there is no such thing as who benefits more, it can only be said that whoever wins first wins first.”
Scap chuckled: "I suggest that LeBron jump out of the contract to join the Golden State Warriors in the summer. Curry and Thompson are two excellent three-point shooters, and they can achieve a very low percentage of the ball. They can form a perfect match with him. , the Warriors also have Draymond Green and Harris Barnes, two immediate players in the rookie contract period, who can form a very powerful substitute lineup. Only in this way can they hope to beat the powerful Lakers, otherwise LeBron will Will be restricted for a long time..."]
Hearing this, Li Yue just finished breakfast, sat on the sofa with a bowl in his hand, and listened while eating.
The two guests followed the topic to discuss the feasibility of LeBron joining the Warriors, and read a few comments from netizens by the way. They did not listen to the specific content carefully, but in general, the entire network defaults that the Heat will lose to the Lakers. The difference lies in the number of games.
After breakfast, Li Yue went out for a run, took photos with enthusiastic passers-by, and received many blessings.
According to the management of the team, there was no joint training on the second day of the game, but he also went to the base for shooting training. It took a whole afternoon, and he returned to the apartment to take a shower, declined the banquet invitation from Legendary Pictures, and sat in front of the computer. Look through the video.
He had previously agreed with Kobe to try to find ways to limit LeBron's sudden runaway.
The team's video editor provided multiple videos, some accumulated before, some recently produced, and other people's ready-made analysis. After watching it for more than two hours, the overall feeling is that LeBron must not be forced. Once provoked, it cannot be stopped.
The way not to irritate LeBron is also very simple, just let his teammates score properly, because LeBron is an extremely calm player, and every time he scores crazy, it is almost passive. For the Walters, the G12 battle is related to the overall evaluation of his career. LeBron didn't put aside all the onslaught until that point.
This is a bit like when the army is encircling and suppressing, it always leaves a way for the enemy to prevent the enemy from doing their best and causing too much damage to themselves.
With such a conclusion, Li Yue felt funny, but he also chose to be loyal to his heart and sent it directly to the team chat group.
All the teammates responded one after another, unanimously thinking that they could try. Anyway, those scores belonged to the Heat. In comparison, LeBron, who was still running wild, was more difficult to deal with, which could easily lead to damage to morale, and then produce unpredictable consequences.
...
The three-day break passed in a blink of an eye. On the evening of June [-], the Lakers continued to sit at home against the Heat.
As before, the Staples Center is full of big names, but the atmosphere is more like a carnival.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers deliberately increased LeBron’s restrictions based on the previous decisions. Bosh and Lewis got more shots because of this. They also made 7 of 5 shots efficiently, but others, including LeBron himself, performed abnormally. The Heat only scored 19 points in the first quarter, while Li Yue scored 6 of 5 for the Lakers, and the team scored 26 points in a single quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, LeBron seemed to see through the Lakers' strategy, and rarely took the initiative to play more, and hit 7 of 5 shots. However, the Lakers' defense collapsed because of the change in defensive strategy but did not achieve the expected effect, which in turn affected the team's offense. Kobe got 3 fouls in a single quarter, the Lakers trailed 17 to 24 in a single quarter, and the two teams drew at halftime.
Back in the locker room, Li Yue first proposed to abandon the strategy he had thought of before and re-enable the original strategy of "defending LeBron alone and strangling others" to avoid more problems. The teammates readily agreed.
Kobe also reflected on himself, thinking that he should not be so greedy, wanting to win and save energy.
With the "new" tactics, the Lakers fought the Heat 35 to 34 in the third quarter, leading by one point into the fourth quarter, but Kobe failed to get rid of the foul trouble and left the field with 6 fouls.
Perhaps because there was no Kobe restriction, after the fourth quarter, Wade's desire to attack soared, and LeBron also played very cooperatively, but Wade only made 4 of 1 shots. Li Yue took the opportunity to lead the team to a 9-2 attack wave.
I thought this would seal the victory of the game, but Iguodala was troubled by fouls again, causing LeBron to get as many as 30 free throws within 5 seconds, and exaggeratedly hit all of them. The Lakers' lead was only 2 points in a blink of an eye.
The two teams started a tug-of-war. The game reached the last 2.8 seconds, and the Lakers had the ball and fell behind by 2 points.
D'Antoni asked for a timeout and arranged a lore tactic for Li Yue, and the audience stood up and watched.
When the referee blew the whistle and timed, the Heat team marked Li Yue as planned, but at the last moment, Bosh made a mistake in switching defenses. Li Yue passed through the crowd, caught the ball at the bottom corner, and made a three-pointer with an extreme jump. Buzzer lore.
After the game, the well-known commentator WOJ updated Twitter and broke the news: The Curry team took the initiative to contact LeBron’s agent Rich Paul to initially discuss the possibility of LeBron joining the Warriors in the summer. Reply, expressing great interest in this proposal, but also depends on the results of the finals for further discussion.
As the news broke, the discussion on social networks tied Li Yue's lore, and soon surpassed it.
Bill Simmons tweeted: "Years from now, when fans look back on this night, they will suddenly realize that two dynasties completed their foundations at the same time, and the difference is that one has reached the peak and is about to decline, and the other is flourishing. "
