As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

The finals G1 battle!

Los Angeles home court, Staples Center!

Zhou Ze, who has won four consecutive championships, is familiar with the finals, but he is still very excited and thrilled this time...

"LeBron, you finally made it here again!" Zhou Ze said with a smile.

James, wearing the Heat's No. 6 jersey, forced a professional smile and nodded in a relaxed manner.

But to be fair...

Compared to his first time entering the finals in 07, James was more nervous.

After all, in that year's finals, the Lakers swept them 4-0, and Zhou Ze and Kobe both broke various finals records.

This time...

Now that I have stronger helpers, I shouldn’t make the same mistake again.

Facing the Heat's Big Three who have completed their running-in, Zhou Ze also wants to see it.

Zhou Ze volunteered to guard James personally.

For James, although this was not the result he wanted to see most, he had made sufficient mental preparations before the game. If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he had to overcome Zhou Ze.

The ratings for this round of finals once again set a new record for the NBA, and the ratings even approached the NFL, the top of the four major sports leagues in the United States.

Can the Heat's Big Three, formed by the 03 Platinum Generation, challenge the NBA's dominant team, the Purple and Gold Lakers?

Although this is the first year of the Heat's Big Three, James is stronger than at the same time in his previous life. He has a stable shot and his back-to-the-basket offense has also reached a relatively good level.

James found an opportunity to attack through a mismatch through pick-and-roll.

Well...

Among the Lakers' starting five, only Rajon Rondo looked the thinnest, so James naturally wanted to mention him.

After James broke into the restricted area, he found Zhou Ze who wanted to come over to assist in defense, so he immediately slowed down, adjusted his pace, changed from facing the basket to back-to-the-basket, and made a not-so-smooth turnaround jump shot, which hit the target steadily.

"Fuck!" Rajon Rondo tried his best to defend this ball, but it was useless in front of Heat's James.

James started the game with a pick-and-roll, singled out Rondo, a departure from his usual game strategy. The Lakers coaching staff immediately saw through the Heat's thinking. James didn't connect the ball early on, instead focusing on scoring, simply to establish a lead in the first quarter.

In that case, let’s attack.

First, Kobe responded strongly. He didn't need pick-and-roll or screen. Facing Wade's defense, he directly asked for the ball and played one-on-one at the left wing midfield position.

James and Kobe started to exchange blows.

This is the scene that fans want to see the most...

After James developed his shooting ability, it became difficult for Zhou Ze to defend him very well.

Rondo was bullied badly. Halfway through the first quarter, James made 4 of 6 shots, almost all of which were outside the reasonable collision zone.

Kobe was 4 for 7, taking one more shot, but...

Rondo defending James and Wade defending Kobe have completely different mindsets.

One is initiated by pick-and-roll, and the other is point-to-point blasting.

The former did not think that he failed to defend James, but just failed to defend the Heat as a team. The latter clearly felt that he was beaten by Kobe.

And this is...the charm of a super singles outside hitter.

In the first quarter, both sides played back and forth.

In the second quarter, Zhou Ze was fouled twice in a row while rebounding and was substituted off the court early by the Zen Master.

Chris Bosh was also embarrassed by the referee's call, and he avoided his sight when Zhou Ze walked off the court.

Although he didn't dive, Zhou Ze really didn't commit any fouls...

While he and Zhou Ze were fighting for rebounding position, they were simply knocked to the ground by the opponent's force.

At the end of the first half, the Heat took a 3-point lead.

This made the young Heat Big Three very excited when they were interviewed by the media at halftime.

only...

This happiness is short-lived.

After the start of the second half, Zhou Ze took the lead and scored two unreasonable three-pointers in a row.

Immediately afterwards...

Using Kobe-style assists, he led the team to a 10-2 run.

The Heat hurriedly requested a timeout.

However, there are no eggs...

Three people double-teamed Zhou Ze, who quickly passed the ball and assisted his teammates to score...

As a result, the scene that the Heat least wanted to see happened.

The Los Angeles Lakers seemed to have entered the full-member zone.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers' lead reached 18 points.

At the end of the game, the team won the Game 1 of the Finals with a score of 90 to 121, a huge lead of 31 points.

After the game, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had stiff expressions.

They also played against the Lakers twice in the regular season, although they lost both times.

But in the second match, James and others felt that the gap was not that big.

And in the finals...

The Heat's Big Three finally understood why the Los Angeles Lakers were hailed by the outside world as the strongest team in NBA history, bar none!!!

...

...

In the following G2, G3 and G4 games, the Lakers crushed their opponents with absolute strength.

Another 4-0 victory, they swept the Heat's Big Three and advanced.

certainly...

The Heat's Big Three also had their moments of brilliance in the game.

For example, James and Wade were like gods in the second quarter of Game 2 and Game 3 respectively, scoring 19 points in a single quarter.

However, they encountered a combination that could defeat God, Zhou Ze and Kobe, who responded with 28 points and 24 points in a single quarter respectively.

...

...

The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA 2010-2011 playoffs championship, completing an astonishing 5 consecutive championships!

But unfortunately...

The championship-winning Game 4 was played at the Miami Heat's home arena.

Naturally, fans would not shout "MVP" to Zhou Ze who won "FMVP" again.

The Heat's Big Three, who failed to win the championship again, hugged each other and supported each other as they walked off the court.

This is in stark contrast to the purple and gold elbows that won the championship again and were all smiles.

...

...

Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, who is known as the "magician" and "vampire", began recruiting reinforcements in the second year after seeing the Big Three fail to win the championship.

The Miami Heat in the 2011-2012 NBA season had one and only one goal.

That is to win the championship!

If they fail to win the championship, Pat Riley will not hesitate to break up the Big Three.

This year the Heat's Big Three are under a lot of pressure...

Under heavy pressure, the team has also undergone further transformation.

During the regular season, they had an amazing 27-game winning streak.

This winning streak ranks third in NBA history.

Second only to the Los Angeles Lakers (Zhou Ze, Kobe)'s 39-game winning streak and the Los Angeles Lakers (West and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)'s 33-game winning streak.

It is worth mentioning that...

During this 27-game winning streak, they also defeated the Los Angeles Lakers once.

only...

Just when NBA fans around the world thought the heavily armed Miami Heat had a 6% chance of winning against the aging Los Angeles Lakers...

As a result, they were swept 4-0 by the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals.

During the offseason, Pat Riley directly dismantled the Heat's Big Three and announced a rebuild!!!
