The second quarter was about to begin, and the Trail Blazers put on a half-main and half-substitute lineup, led by Lillard and Batum.

On the Heat's side, James, who played the entire first quarter, did not rest. This year, his playing time averaged 37 minutes per game. Although it was not as good as the Cavaliers' average of 40 minutes per game during the 1.0 era, it is still considered worthy in the league.

Become a model worker.

The teammates who partnered with James are Norris Cole, Ray Allen, Battier and Lewis. All four teammates have enough three-point threats.

One star everywhere!

The lineup put together by Heat coach Spoelstra can maximize James's historic scoring breakthrough.

After the interval, the referee blew the whistle to start the second quarter.

Lewis served from the backcourt to Norris Cole, who advanced.

In the frontcourt, Norris Cole handed the ball to James, and according to the tactical requirements, he worked with Ray Allen and Battier to open up the space.

James received the ball and saw that the defender of the penalty area under the Trail Blazers basket had changed from No. 36 to No. 19, whom he did not recognize, and he no longer had any worries.

It’s impossible for all young people to be so supportive!

Batum sensed James' intention and rushed forward, but this was not enough to stop James from breaking through. The latter's speed first slowed down for a beat, then increased speed twice, and went straight to the basket.

Batum's interference slowed down James' rhythm and gave Aldridge a chance to help defend. When James rushed one step outside the reasonable collision area, Aldridge rushed out and collided with James.

After the two had physical contact, James relied on his career-high weight of 120 kilograms and the inertia brought by the charge to knock away the 109-kilogram Aldridge, and came to the basket and relied on his strong core strength to stabilize the ball.

Hit the layup.

When James took off, Aldridge subconsciously spread his hands to interfere, but soon regretted it.

"Beep... defensive foul on No. 12!"

James chewed on his braces and hit the extra free throw, making it two plus one.

"It's hard to imagine that LaMarcus inside can't stand up to LeBron." Kenny Smith sighed with emotion, and turned around and said: "By the way, Charles, if you meet LeBron at his peak, can you stand up to him?"

Kenny Smith looked at Barkley beside him with curiosity. The latter once dominated the league with a height of 1.98 meters, and his physical strength was average.

"This is really a difficult question to answer, isn't it?"

Buckley wiped away his usual playful smile and began to think seriously.

After winning his first career championship, James was less than 30 years old and at the peak of his career. Facing such a historical giant, Barkley couldn't help but be moved.

"If it's a purely physical confrontation, I'm absolutely sure that I won't fall behind."

After a long time, Buckley finally spoke.

Kenny Smith on the side nodded.

The body of this flying pig is really awesome!

Barkley continued: "But if you want to guard LeBron, you are undoubtedly talking nonsense. Real super players can explode with each other, but it is difficult to limit each other."

"What if it's Michael? Can he guard LeBron?"

Kenny Smith named the last person Barkley wanted to hear.

"I can tell you with confidence, even Michael can't guard LeBron!"

Perhaps worried about causing unnecessary controversy, Barkley quickly added: "The two are not players at the same position at all, and LeBron weighs more than most centers this season. If you want to choose one at the forward position,

The player who gives LeBron the most defensive strength, my first recommendation is Scottie Pippen."

…

The official pause time has come.

At 35:43, the Trail Blazers were about to fall behind the Heat by double digits.

In the first half of the quarter, both teams lost to the Trail Blazers without any suspense. The entire defensive end of the team was penetrated by James. Of the 17 points scored by the Heat, James scored 11 points alone.

If James is defending closely, he will break through. If he takes a step outside the three-point line, the latter has a three-point shooting rate of over 40%. A sudden shot from the dark side makes Batum look sad.

In addition, once James sets a pick-and-roll screen, with the Blazers' current rim protection, as long as James starts speeding up, no one can stop him.

…

When the lineup returned to the bench, Coach Terry looked at Wang Zelin and said, "Wang, it's your turn to play."

Wang Zelin nodded.

Coach Terry responded and replaced Batum, Joel Freeland, and Wickett Clever, and replaced Aldridge, Matthews, and Will Barton.

In view of Batum's mediocre performance on the court, the restrictions on James are unnecessary. Counting Lillard who stayed on the court, the Trail Blazers can almost be said to have replaced all players.

Batum: "..."

The Heat bench opposite.

"LeBron, do you need me to play?"

Wade handed the towel to James and asked.

"No need for now, the team is leading now, you need to rest for a while, and your knees..." James replied.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Where is it?"

Bosh on the side looked at this scene with amusement, feeling strange in his heart.

…

After returning from the timeout, with Wang Zelin's return, the Blazers' rim protection performance has obviously improved qualitatively, and the offensive threat has also greatly increased.

The Heat's current inside combination is Lewis and James. Lewis obviously can't handle Wang Zelin. As long as he pays attention to James's defense, he can easily dominate the basket.

Trail Blazers offense.

Wang Zelin passed down the screen from the high post and dunked over Lewis. James, who couldn't get back in time, stood with his hands on his hips and watched all this with cold eyes.

This is also the reason why he doesn't let Spoelstra onto the main lineup.

Because he knows that even if Bosh plays again, the restrictions on Wang Zelin will be minimal.

Since the defense cannot prevent the opponent's inside attack, it is better to maintain the current lineup and let the game enter its own rhythm.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Attack against attack!

Before the game, James already had a plan for this game.

"Ray, Sean, make more moves later. As long as you are out of position, I guarantee that the ball will be in your hands."

James caught the ball in the backcourt and said suddenly.

"Um!"

"good!"

Ray Allen and Shane Battier responded quickly.

"After the King came on the field, the changes in the Blazers were obvious. No, the two points have been obtained." Yang Yi said.

"The Heat still maintain the same lineup as before. It is estimated that the point difference is nearly ten points, which makes Coach Spoelstra feel confident, but I think he may have underestimated the Trail Blazers..."

Before Director Zhang finished speaking, James easily passed Will Barton on the court. When he came to the basket, he did not choose to fight hard, but distributed the ball to the outside.

At the same time, Ray Allen suddenly ran back from the baseline and got back to the three-point line, and James' pass arrived.

"Whoosh!"

The gentleman raised his sword with his thunder hand and dropped it, water splashed out, and he hit a three-pointer.

"Ray!! Allen!!!"

The DJ on the scene roared excitedly.

"Three-point king! Three-point king..."

This was Ray Allen's second three-pointer of the game. As if to tell the outside world that he was still young, it caused a stir inside the arena.

"This old guy..."

Wang Zelin thought as he served the baseline ball.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

James shouted.

Ray Allen's consecutive three-pointers made him more determined.

The Trail Blazers attacked and the ball came into Wang Zelin's hands again. Wang Zelin leaned back, held the ball with both hands and turned towards the basket.

"Bang!"

Another chop.

But then, James quickly came down with the ball, and when faced with Will Barton's defense, he rarely chose to force it, but distributed the ball to the outside.

At this time, Battier ran to the three-point line of the top arc, received a pass from James, made a slight adjustment, and took a decisive shot.

"Pah! Whoa!"
