Chapter 1356 Two Burdens
Kenny Smith said: "Pat Riley wanted to build a five-forward lineup, but unfortunately he failed. He failed when trading Paul George. Now this lineup is a lineup of three forwards and two guards."
Barkley continued: "Although Pat Riley's five-forward lineup does not emphasize the inside and outside, this is not a five-forward lineup, so we still analyze this lineup according to the inside and outside.
From the inside, Millsap + Favors have good defense and rebounding. The offensive end is weaker than the defensive end, and Favors has no ability to stretch.
From the outside, both offense and defense are good.
Overall, the fourth position is slightly weaker, but Favors is not bad either. This season with the Jazz, he averaged 23 minutes per game and scored 9.4+7.1+1+.09+1.7. With the Heat, he averaged 32 minutes per game. minutes, averaging 13+9+1.2+1+1.9 per game, which is not bad. "
Kenny Smith said: "Including Favors, the three forwards can play multiple positions. Wade and Deron can also play point guard and shooting guard. All five of them can pass the ball and attack. He is good at defense, can also rebound, can play fast breaks, and can also defend fast breaks, so the Heat's lineup is very versatile and strong on both offense and defense."
Barkley said: "Although this is likely to be the Hammers' last NBA game and the last finals, the Suns still have to be vigilant when facing the Heat. The Heat are very strong. The most important thing is that the Suns have not yet touched the Heat. This lineup.”
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili analyzed: "Millsap is a player with a range. He doesn't shoot three-pointers very much, but he can shoot two or three shots from two-point range every game, and his shooting percentage is above 40%. He is slightly more capable in mid-range. Bad, but cannot be ignored.
In terms of position, on the offensive end, he is not as close to the basket as Rivers. Favors has no shooting range and is active in the paint area.
So the Hammers should defend Millsap, and Drummond should defend Favors at the basket.
As for the outside line, like the Lakers, the three outside lines of the Suns are weaker than the three outside lines of the Heat.
At the third position, Jimmy Butler will be blown to pieces by James.
On the back line, the combination of Wade and Deron will also outlast Harden and George Hill.
In short, the Suns' lineup is still too young. In this final finals of the Hammers, we cannot be careless and must be careful. "
Yu Jia said: "There are thousands of words to say, but it also depends on the performance of the Hammers. On the defensive end, he should play the fourth position. With Drummond's huge tonnage, it is definitely impossible to defend against the Hammers. The outside defense should be good.”
Xu Jicheng said: "Judging from the games after the Heat changed their lineup, they passed a lot of passes and ran a lot of pick-and-rolls, especially the three forwards who frequently changed positions. This is a big trouble for the Suns' defense and must be done. Good defense against pick-and-rolls.”
In the visiting team's locker room, head coach Erik Spoelstra and general manager Pat Riley were both present, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.
Although the Suns are all young players, the Heat players are more mature, but except for James and Wade, the other three starters are all rookies in the finals, not much better than the Suns, and the pressure is super high.
The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was equally tense.
Five starters, a first-year rookie, a second-year rookie, and a third-year rookie. Harden has only one playoff experience, and George Hill has also only played in the playoffs once. Such qualifications make them very nervous. .
Payton and Li Ba discussed it and said: "Hammer, if these rookies come on the field like this, they will definitely make mistakes again and again. You have to shoulder it. You need to play the point guard first and let them adapt to the atmosphere."
"Okay, no problem." Li Ba nodded.
A few minutes later, the first team came on and the second team met at the exit.
James and Wade had mixed emotions when they saw Li Ba.
This guy who has suppressed them for ten years is likely to leave the league completely, leaving them a little uncomfortable.
Wade opened his mouth, and finally asked: "Hammer, you won't quit for a year and then come back, right?"
"Pfft!"
Several people from both teams laughed.
"Shut up, you big cheek, I think your face is getting swollen, right?" Li Ba said angrily.
"This is called Xinggan. You have no sense of beauty. You know, fashion magazines like to take pictures of my cheeks."
Wade gently stroked his two big cheeks and shouted dissatisfied.
Li Ba raised his hand with some disgust and pushed away Wade who jumped in front of him, and said to James who was not wearing a headband: "Old man, I think you should wear that thing. If you don't wear it, you will instantly age twenty years. "
"Pfft!" Several people laughed again.
James' face twitched and he thought to himself, you'd better leave. If you leave, no one will dare to call me old man.
At this time, the visiting team came on the stage. They walked out with their heads held high, and then were shrunk by the shocking boos.
Although only a small number of today's fans are Phoenix fans, these fans from all over the United States and all over the world are definitely Liba fans. Their attitude is more fanatical and their boos to the Heat are even stronger.
"Hammer! Hammer! Hammer..."
The home team came on the field, and when Li Ba's name rang out, the whole audience shouted his nickname.
Amid the cheers from the entire stadium, Li Ba raised his chin high, waved to greet the fans, and walked into the stadium unhurriedly.
"Hammer!"
Jay Chou stood up from his seat and shouted loudly.
He started watching Li Ba's games since his rookie season. Over the years, he has come every year. This has become a part of his life. He feels empty when he thinks that Li Ba will never appear in the NBA again.
Next to him are dozens of domestic stars such as Chen Daoming.
"Hammer!"
Scarlett Johansson shouted.
Next to her, Anne Heatherway, Alba Jessica, etc. are all friends of Li Ba.
There are also many NBA superstars, including a large number of active and retired players, including Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, Marbury, Marion, Joe Johnson, Grant Hill, Iverson, Carter, McGrady, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Da Zhi, Durant, Westbrook, etc., as many as fifty or sixty people.
There were too many people, and Li Ba didn't have time to greet them one by one. He walked around the court and waved.
Guo Guo led Li Ba behind her, and there were two little followers behind her.
In order to keep up with their father and sister, Li Yi and Li Yang walked and ran, falling down from time to time, groaning a few times, and then got up and followed.
Guo Guo saw the second and third children stumbling behind, and felt annoyed. He ran back and grabbed the two brothers with his two little hands, and then ran to his mother Liu Yifei.
"Yiya..."
Li Yi and Li Yang couldn't struggle free, and kept babbling.
"Haha..." The scene burst into laughter.
"Oh, Guo Guo, don't fall on your brother." Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly ran up to pick up the two sons.
"Mom, keep an eye on these two encumbrances." Guo Guo shouted, and then ran away again.
Liu Yifei's face darkened. This is your brother, what is an encumbrance?
