Chapter 225 Easy~~Ball
At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Xiao, who scored 12 points in a single quarter, went to the bench to recuperate.

"You're going to be excited when you play the Heat, huh?" The banter between Chen Xiao and Walker next to him provided the best footnote for the game.

After Charlotte Deng continued to hit the ball, he stole Ray Allen. Gordon, who is good at three-pointers, picked up the explosive bag and rushed in, causing Cole, who still had a short crew cut, to foul.

Defender Janello Pargo, who was temporarily signed due to Sessions' reimbursement, made a mistake and recovered the ball. He received a pass from his teammate and hit a three-pointer.

Making mistakes first and then making up for it, the bouncing Bobcats' bench lineup can be called stinky and fragrant stinky tofu.

On the Heat's side, the bench lineup led by Ray Allen and "Mr. Billion Dollar" Lewis made mistakes, fouls, and missed shots.

The score difference was originally 13 points, but when Chen Xiao and his comrades stepped onto the field again, the score difference reached a new high, 38:20.

Coincidentally, the current maximum point difference in this game is 18 points, which is exactly the average point difference of the Miami Heat's first three consecutive reversals.

During the fast break, Ray Allen, who was slow and slow and positioned outside the three-point line, received a pass from Cole who rushed to the basket and attracted a lot of defensive attention.

Ray Allen, who just missed consecutive jump shots in the past few minutes, had a stable posture and standard movements, and he pulled up and shot a three-pointer.

Chen Xiao, who was at the free throw line, could only watch as the basketball passed over Middleton, who was defending him, and fell straight into the basket, "Whoosh".

"Ray~~Allen!! Three-pointer!"

"Whoa" once again received Cole's pass. Ray Allen jumped up and steadily picked up the basketball. His straight body in the air seemed to have a bit of the nickname "Jesus" brought by the movie.

"The reversal starts from now on!! There is no reversal without heat, go ahead~~"

"The 18-point difference is considered a P. James hasn't even used his strength yet, and two three-pointers are almost 10 points. If he uses his strength again, it won't be a problem to catch the score to 3 or 5 points in this quarter."

The shouts of the live DJ echoed in the American Airlines Arena, complementing the invisible carnival sounds on the Internet.

"Drop the ball in." Chen Xiao told Walker, who was about to catch the ball in the backcourt, and headed to the frontcourt.

When he first came on the court, he wanted to let his teammates continue the feeling of outside shooting, but consecutive missed shots allowed Ray Allen to find opportunities to chase points. Then it was time for him to take action to stop the approaching point difference.

Steadily leaning on the "Plesiosaur" behind him who puffed up his chest and tried to fight, Chen Xiao opened his right hand and easily copied the basketball flying in mid-air.

At the same time as he caught the ball, his left foot extended under Bosh and pushed his left back shoulder towards Bosh. For a moment, he squeezed and collided with Bosh's vigorous muscles. Sensing Bosh's slightly tense body, Chen Xiao passed the ball He swung to the inside, twisted his hips and shoulders, and turned his huge body around lightly. In an instant, Bosh, who was originally blocked between the baskets, was wiped behind him.

"Bang!" The basketball held in Chen Xiao's giant palm deformed slightly and was thrust into the basket.

"One-arm dunk, turned around and faced the empty basket. Chen Xiao changed his preference to the energy-saving layup option. He raised his right hand high and stuffed the ball into the basket. Obviously, the Bobcats' misfired perimeter group at this moment needs Chen Xiao's wake-up call. ', the whine of the opponent's basket is the best motivation for Bobcat players." Barkley commented.

"Gerald!"

"Chris!"

The basketball was separated from Chen Xiao's hands, and he had already taken a catching posture. Henderson, Middleton and other "catch-and-shooters" who caught the ball steadily lived up to Chen Xiao's trust and hit the ball.

Henley and Midou, who scored 4 of 2 and 3 of 2, with over half of their field goal percentages in a single quarter, continued the Bobcats' outside firepower.

Henderson and Middleton are working hard, but what are Wade and James doing on the Heat's side?
Wade was watching the game on the bench wearing a suit and leather tie, his face serious and motionless.

James, who scored 8/20 of the team in the first quarter and scored 90% of the points, finally opened his game [-] seconds before halftime. After cooperating with Chalmers on a screen at the left waist, he suddenly rushed into the basket and protected the ball at this moment. The framer Chen Xiao was pulled to the free throw line by Bosh, who was accurate from mid-range in this quarter, and the basket was empty.

Miller in the bottom corner flicked the ball, and James caught the ball and hit the board with his right hand, scoring the first point of the quarter.

Cutting, cutting inside, alley-ooping, just relying on "Easy Ball" to score some points obviously cannot stop the bleeding and chase points. In the last attack before halftime, facing the dazzling score difference, James got the ball in the low post and chose to hit Middleton with his back. .

After more than half of the season, Middleton, who has improved in all aspects, has also made slight progress in weight. At more than 225 pounds, he is not too bad for the No. 3 position.

But facing the tank-like forward, the "top priority" 270-pound LeBron James, Middleton was like a boat on the sea facing rough waves, constantly swaying, as if it was about to capsize in the next second.

James played in the low post, and Miller, Battier, and Chalmers shot three long shots to the three-point line. The only exception was Bosh who occupied the mid-range position close to the baseline in the short corner.

In a matchup with an obvious size difference, Middleton was slowly pushed back. However, from the perspective of Chen Xiao, who was stepping on the edge of the paint area, James was a little floaty in the confrontation. It felt as if he was pressing the opponent, taking a step forward, and then retreating half a step. Step by step, there is no solid sense of advancement.

"Turn up." Looking at James' body posture and center of gravity movement, Chen Xiao made an instant judgment in his mind.

The signal in his brain was immediately transmitted to his steps. Chen Xiao left Bosh behind, took a big step, and stood in front of the basket.

James, who was squeezing Middleton into the paint area with a huff and a breath, turned around and turned to the line. When he turned around, his vision went dark. The opponent "got bigger and longer", and the road to the basket was suddenly airtight.

Can't you do it yourself?It's not a big problem. Zhan Huang is not afraid of danger. He jumps up and drifts outward. In the wider and wider field of vision, Bosh has slipped into the bottom line.

James, who is an excellent scorer, shook his hands, and the basketball passed around Chen Xiao, who was standing in front of the basket with his hands raised as if holding a door board. Bosh, who had already raised his hands, fell into the hands of the solid basketball.

After catching the ball, he looked up at the basket. Bosh, who was about to dunk the ball with both hands behind his back, was shrouded in shadow. A big hand came over. Was it the two hands intending to dunk faster, or was it the one hand that swung like a fly swatter? Faster?

His flying momentum remained unchanged, he made close contact with the rim, and the flying basketball gave the answer.

"Go outside and shoot, Chris. That's your strength. The basket doesn't belong to you." Chen Xiao's understatement stabbed Bosh in the chest. Chen Xiao seemed to read the shame and anger in Bosh's eyes.

However, Chen Xiao didn't think that attacking at the basket meant hard, and he was waiting for soft shots from outside. It was just that his shooting rate was higher when he was close to the basket, which made Chen Xiao chase towards the basket.

And Bosh was so accurate in this quarter, but when he came in, he was disturbed and looked for a hat, so why did he come in?Outside shooting can also kill people. As a person who has experienced it, Bozi should know it. It has only been two years.

At 41:55, the score difference at American Airlines Arena was still obvious at halftime. "14 points, the Bobcats led by a full 14 points at halftime at the Heat's home court. Let's think back to the first two games. The two teams met for the first time after Christmas. The two teams were tied at 54 at halftime, with a score difference of 0 points; before the All-Star weekend In the second meeting, the Heat fell behind by 3 points. The Heat, who are first in the league and second in winning streak in league history, are in a dangerous moment."

Ernie pressed his glasses, looked at the data table clearly, and reported the data clearly: "At halftime, LeBron scored 12 points for the Heat, Bosh had a hot hand today and scored 10 points, and Ray Allen scored two three-pointers. A total of 8 points, the three of them scored 30 points together, and the others performed mediocre; as for the Bobcats, Chen Xiao, who scored 40 points and 39 points against the Heat in the first two games, still steadily scored almost half of the points, with 18 at halftime. points, Henderson, Middleton, Walker and other teammates also played well, helping the Bobcats take a big lead at halftime."

...

"Don't some people say that chasing points is like drinking water? Chasing from 18 points to 14 points, chasing 4 points. That's not right. Chasing points depends on the beginning of the quarter. In fact, it should be chasing minus 1 point."

"Something is wrong. Nine out of ten points are wrong. The Big Three are all here and we are just a little behind. Without Dwyane Wade, we are going straight to a big defeat. The opponent is missing two rotations."

"You know who is the real leader of the Heat? If you have good statistics and high scores, that doesn't mean you can lead the team to win points and games. Don't you have to give me D Wei to play difficult and key balls? And today Bosh shot the old Right."

"I won't tell you who will be invisible in the second quarter. Cut inside, cut inside, and play quickly. You can play with the Easy Ball."

"Okay, okay, now that I'm behind at halftime, you idiots and villains who are jealous of LBJ's achievements are all coming out in a swarm, right? Let's see if James doesn't slap you in the face in the second half."

……

Coming back in the second half, James, who seemed to be aware of the turmoil outside, was full of firepower.

After changing defense, facing Mullens, James took out the basketball with a small hand. Facing the flat half court, James stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to the end. He entered the paint and started slowly. He jumped up effortlessly, raised his eyes slightly, and approached. Look at the basket from a distance and dunk into the basket with the back of your hands.

He is heavy, runs at high speed, and can easily jump to the basket. This dynamic talent and physical fitness make people salivate.

Walker and Chalmers competed for the ball at the Heat's half-court free throw line to determine the ball.

The basketball was hit by Chalmers first and flew towards Chen Xiao. Just when Chen Xiao was about to catch the pie falling from the sky, Bosh rushed to hit him with his left hand and the basketball flew over Chen Xiao's head.

James, who had already taken the lead, caught the basketball and dunked with both hands behind his back, followed by another Heat James signature high right hand, one-arm split dunk.

He provided alley-oops for his teammates, strode past his teammates in the bottom corner to score the ball, and helped defend Adrian, who got the offensive rebound under the basket and attempted a second attack.

The third quarter can be said to be a typical James game, with invincible fast breaks, invincible impact, exquisite passing, accurate ball distribution, quick defense, and an expert in chasing shots.

单节12分3助攻5篮板1断1帽填满数据栏，可谓是全面到家了。

Looking at James flying in the sky and hiding from the ground, and looking at Chen Xiao who plays with his back most of the time, he can only score points, occasionally pick and roll, and mostly cover for his teammates. His style of play is too unsmart.

At the end of the third quarter, James, who felt the fans' expectations, led the team to chase points strongly, 65:76, and the point difference narrowed by 3 points.

"The team scored 24 points in one quarter, and James scored half of them. This should stop you idiots, right? Bosh was 2 for 0, Miller was 2 for 0, Haslem and Ray Allen were both 2 for 0. , this can chase 3 points, which is very good. James has given everything he has for the Heat."

……

"Wait, Kemba, give me the ball." Walker, who felt uncomfortable facing the Heat today, missed consecutive shots in the final quarter. The familiar voice that sounded in his ears in time made Walker feel relieved, and the person in charge was here.

This kid, Chen Xiao glanced suspiciously at Walker. Others thought that the Bobcats were the Heat's nemesis. When they met the Bobcats, the Heat were in trouble. But you kid is a counterexample in everyone's opinion. When you meet the Heat, you are soft.

Seeing that the point difference continues to shrink under the influence of Cole and Ray Allen, Chen Xiao must increase his efforts to arrange the Heat's inside line.

After catching the ball, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate. He hit Bosh's chest with his back shoulder. One blow was not enough, and he hit him with all his strength. Bosh, who had been tempered in this game, felt that he was on the verge of breaking out. Upturned, crumbling, like a crooked-necked tree that is just short of being felled under the chain saw.

After running into the basket, facing Bosh whose feet were almost off the ground and unable to interfere, Chen Xiao hooked his left hand and easily scored the ball with his left hand.

"Easy~~This ball is very easy to watch. I think Chris Bosh may still be ravaging his Chen Xiao in his dreams. I hope Chris has a good dream at night." O'Neal gloated and laughed.

When Chen Xiao was playing Easy~~Ball, Heat star James also refused to give in.

The Heat's attack failed. Chen Xiao protected the rebound and pushed the ball straight to Walker. Walker rushed with the ball, and his chance to prove himself was here! !

When he got to the basket and faced Battier, Walker was not afraid. He grabbed the ball and circled it in front of his chest. He aimed at the backboard and threw the ball to the predetermined position.

"Bang!" The sound of nailing the board that was already familiar to Chen Xiao as his teammate rang out, but this time his identity changed from a bystander to a victim.

The flying birdman completed the chase, and the basketball bounced back to the three-point line. Cole, who was in excellent light condition today, rushed out instantly, took the ball, and pushed it with both hands.

Seeing Walker being blocked, Chen Xiao immediately turned around and watched the basketball fly past him. He and Henderson, as the last line of defense in front of the Bobcats' basket, had been broken through by LeBron James.

The master of transition, King of fast breaks, has already sensed the transition of ball ownership and has been waiting at the Bobcats' three-point line.

Jump up, swing your arms, and dunk hard.

Facing the cheers of the audience, his arms were slightly strengthened and his muscles were arched. James' expression remained unchanged as he stared at the audience for a moment, as if to say, "This is my horse."

……

A steady stream of three-pointers for most of the quarter kept the Heat closing in on the score, but Chen Xiao, who took over the ball and responded from time to time, was always able to catch the Heat head-on when they were on the rise, playing by himself and dealing with Henry who was cutting inside from a double attack. Desen's skillful hand provided assists and offensive rebounds to reorganize the offense.

The point difference never widened and remained within 6 points. However, facing the Giants' barrier, the Heat's hopes of completing a major comeback in four consecutive games were eventually dashed as time passed.

"Buzzing~~~"

Bobcat, win.
