Chapter 590 (1/2)
In the first game of the finals, the Memphis Grizzlies, who lost igordala, won the heat by nearly double digits.
There is no doubt that this has surprised most fans and experts.
It was originally predicted that the Grizzlies would become very passive in the absence of Iguodala. Even if the Grizzlies can win, they will win very hard.
However, the process and result of the game surprised everyone.
In fact, the impact of igordala's absence in the first quarter was very obvious. If the situation in the first quarter goes on, the heat is really a big chance to win.
But no one expected that in the second quarter there would be a Jimi Butler!
Butler filled in the gap left by igordala, not only defending, but also helping link on the offensive side.
The first time he played the finals, he was able to score 21 points and limit Wade's scores in the last three quarters to be lower than those in the first quarter. Jim Butler's psychological quality and ability were amazing.
The kid, who was selected at the end of the first round two years ago, has been included in the ”high potential rookie” category.
Memphis is in high spirits as the Grizzlies take a 1-0 lead. That night, the fans celebrated in the street until late at night, as if the Grizzlies had won the championship.
Previously, Memphis fans did not dare to imagine what it would be like for Grizzlies to play in the finals, let alone win in the finals.
For them, although they have not won the championship, but what happened that night is already a miracle!
Memphis team, can also win in the finals!
However, LeBron James doesn't think Grizzlies can make a miracle by winning a game.
A 1-0 score in the series, especially in the finals, doesn't mean anything.
Because the competition system of the finals is 2-3-2, which is different from the 2-2-1-1-1 of the ordinary series.
After two away games, the low ranked team can get three home games in a row! In this way, as long as the series does not play to grab seven, the high ranked team in fact can not get any home advantage!
Although there are rumors that the finals will soon be restructured, it will become 2-2-1-1-1. But as long as it hasn't changed, that's what the heat can use!
As long as the next game to bite the Grizzlies, the total score will be 1-1. After three consecutive home heat, heat on the contrary more favorable!
The previous NBA finals were actually the 2-2-1-1-1 system. However, since 1985, the NBA Finals have been reformed and began to implement the 2-3-2 competition system. This practice is to avoid travel fatigue. Between games 6 and 7, players don't have to go back and forth.
However, with the development of transportation, the impact has been greatly reduced. Therefore, there are rumors that the League will consider restoring the finals stopper to 2-2-1-1-1.
As a result, James knows that the heat are likely to be the last team in NBA history to take a 2-3-2 bonus. In this case, it is more to grasp the line!
In the history of NBA, there are many examples of overturning in the Finals because of the 2-3-2 system.
The heat won the championship in 2006.
In the 2006 finals, the heat once fell behind the Mavericks 0-2, but Wade led the heat to turn over four games in a row, miraculously won the team's first championship. Wade is like the God of heaven, and the efficiency of the finals has surpassed that of Jordan, becoming the highest in history.
However, in the heat's four consecutive games, there are three in a row that are home to the heat. It's impossible to say that the heat didn't take advantage of this.
This year, James decided to repeat the reversal of 2006!
At a time when the world is worried about the heat, the heat three giants are ready to fight to death.
As long as they can return to Miami with a 1-1 score, they will have the advantage. This advantage should not be missed!
After being injured by Ibaka in the western finals, igordala finally returned to the training ground after the first game of the finals.
Although igordala won't be allowed to play until Game 3 of the series, he is now ready to participate in team training.
Igordala's return has boosted everyone's morale. In the finals, it's no harm to have one more player.
