After the timeout ended, the Heat's lineup did not make adjustments.

It was still Wade who stood up, faced Kobe's defense, cooperated with Bosh to make a false screen, pulled out a step-back mid-range jumper and made a hit.

For so many years, Wade is still the most reliable player of the Heat.

Since his rookie season, his big-hearted performance in the playoffs has never stopped.

In the first game of his first playoff tour in 2004, when the Heat played against the Hornets, Wade faced the Hornets' main player Baron Davis at the last moment, went to the basket and made a throw. Kill the opponent.

It can be said that Wade was born for fighting fires and for critical moments.

When the Heat needed him, he could always stand up. In the last game, he scored 32 points, surpassing Kobe's 30 points.

However, Kobe responded immediately. After reaching the basket with the ball from the middle, he missed a layup with his left hand, but he shot and grabbed the rebound and succeeded in the layup.

Later, James and Bosh cooperated on the strong side, passing and receiving the ball consecutively, but Metta World Peace and Howard defended quite well and did not give them any chance.

Bosh held the ball and wanted to rush inside, but he couldn't go in and returned the ball to James.

James broke through with the ball, then hit the ground and passed the ball, hitting Bosh's feet.

Chalmers got the ball from the outside and made a breakthrough by himself, but was interfered by Howard and missed a layup.

Bosh struggled to grab the offensive rebound and made a layup that caused Li Liang's defensive foul.

The Lakers did not make major adjustments in their defensive strategy this time, but the players' focus has improved a lot.

It's just that the Heat are also very hard-working. Bosh used all his energy to grab the offensive rebound and make a foul with great difficulty.

As a result, he went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Heat substitutions, Mike - Miller replaced Haslem, strengthen the team's offense.

Li Liang scored the rebound and the Lakers pushed back.

Nash had no chance to kill the basket with the ball. He passed it back to the outside line.

Kobe was very aggressive in this game. At 7:15, the Lakers maintained their suppression of the Heat.

The Heat's response is to push and counterattack.

After James rushed to the basket with the ball to attract the defense, he passed a long pass to Mike Miller who was following up from the outside. Miller caught the ball and made a three-pointer!

At 10:15, the score was a little closer.

The Heat immediately took advantage of another mistake made by the Lakers. James quickly passed to Wade, and Wade caught the ball and made a layup!

The Heat's quick counterattack came out, which is their most terrible weapon.

The Lakers implemented an inside strategy for five or six minutes, but were hindered after the Heat strengthened their inside protection.

Mike Brown called a timeout to adjust the lineup.

Looking at the time, there are still 4 minutes before the end of the first quarter. Brown feels that it is time to make a move.

At this point in time, the Heat will replace Wade and let James lead the team's shooter lineup to play.

In the first three games, the Lakers will take O'Neal and Pau Gasol, and use the inside to suppress the Heat.

But in this game, the Lakers made a change. Instead of O'Neal, they replaced Jamison, who had never played before, replaced Metta Shiping, and Gasol replaced Howard.

Only Kobe and Li Liang are left in the starting lineup.

As soon as this lineup played, the TV commentators were a little surprised, because Jamison was basically in a state of abandonment in the playoffs.

He only played briefly when he played against the Rockets in the first round and the Clippers in the second round, and basically had no chance to play against the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

The reason is simple, the defense can't keep up.

Playing Jamison on the Heat and facing LeBron James looks very risky.

"Jamison, who hadn't played before, played. He was always criticized for his defensive problems and never got a chance to play. Is the Lakers suddenly expanding their rotation? Jermaine O'Neal's performance before can be said to be quite amazing and outstanding. He Inside protection ... I don't think that's what Jamison can provide, but we'll see."

The commentary is obviously not very optimistic about Jamison's tactical role.

But a player gets a chance to play, not necessarily just because of tactics.

Basketball isn't just a tactical game, either.

After Jamison came up, there was a little confusion on the Heat's defense.

Because Jermaine O'Neal was in the heart before, so he defended according to the inside method.

As soon as Jamison appeared on the court, the Lakers' formation became different from before, and the space was stretched even further. Jamison has the ability to shoot three-pointers.

And Jamison's first ball after his debut detonated the audience. He received the ball from outside the three-point line on the right side, shook Miller away with a shot fake, dribbled directly to the basket, and then succeeded in a two-handed dunk!

Another slam dunk!

Following Li Liang's opening dunk, Jamison also contributed a dunk!

Is this still the old Lakers? Looks nothing like it, Jamison is 37 years old this year.

This year with the Lakers could be his last.

If you count his experiences and honors, you will find that he is a successful basketball player.

He graduated from the famous North Carolina. He is an alumnus of Jordan and James Worthy, and a classmate of Carter.

In college, he won the Wooden Award and the Naismith Award. In the NBA, he is the player who scored 50 points in two consecutive games. He is a member of 20,000 points in the regular season. He is a two-time All-Star and has a career contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

It's been a successful career by any measure.

But that is based on the standards of ordinary people, not the standards of stars or even superstars. People's expectations of him are much more than that.

In his more than 20 years of basketball career, he has always missed the championship and the competitiveness.

He has never been a member of a championship-level team, let alone a championship core.

He scored 20,000 points in the regular season, but many people don't know that his reputation and prestige are far inferior to players like Ginobili with more than 10,000 points.

The reason is that his career is very stable, but lacks bright spots.

He was always lukewarm, scoring 20 points a game, like clocking in and out of get off work.

In this regard, he is similar to his classmate Vince Carter.

But people will always be unwilling, otherwise Jamison will not join the Lakers. The salary that the Lakers can give is definitely not the highest. What he needs is a championship.

And people are greedy. When the Lakers were very close to the championship, Jamison not only wanted a championship, but he also wanted to play.

Yes, who doesn't want to stand on the stage of the finals and contribute to the team's championship? Instead of standing on the sidelines and shouting cheers to be a spectator.

He is not Thackeray, not Duhon, not Ebanks.

He has strength and he believes he can make a contribution.

After the third game that day, in a small team meeting, Jamison suddenly became very excited and stood up and said that he wanted to play and contribute to the team.

Rashard Lewis on the opposite side can hit the three-pointer, and so can he.

Everyone is desperately defending, and he can do it too.

He doesn't want to watch his team struggle while he can't contribute.

"This is not the purpose of my coming to the Lakers. Watching my teammates win a championship, I can play, I can do it."

The Lakers players talked a lot in the locker room, and Kobe finally told Jamison that if he wants to play, he must defend.

Jamison agreed, and every other player except him said they were ready to play if needed.

After Mike Brown returned to the locker room, Kobe expressed his opinions and opinions to Mike Brown on behalf of everyone.

Of course Mike Brown agreed without thinking about it.

The day before the fourth game, the whole team conducted a joint tactical training, allowing Jamison to try out the effect.

But the real effect depends on the performance after playing.

As soon as Jamison came on the court, there was a thunder, dunks under the basket, and the entire Staples Center cheered countless times.

Seeing this ball, Mike Brown's heart settled.

After other players proposed to expand the team's rotation yesterday, Brown talked specifically to Jamison.

Brown wants to make sure Jamison really has that fighting spirit.

Jamison made a guarantee that he must do his best.

It can be seen from this ball that Jamison really worked hard.

Then, James received the ball in the low post, squeezed inside and made a successful throw.

Come back, on the Lakers side, in the same position, Jamison catches the ball with his back and beats Mike Miller.

Turning over and making a quick hook with his left hand, the ball flew towards the basket in a very strange arc, and then scored!

Jamison scored 4 points in a row!

At 19:14, the Lakers still maintained the lead.

The presence of Jamison did not affect the Lakers' defense.

The Heat's two subsequent offenses were extremely difficult, but the Heat's players really tried their best, got consecutive offensive rebounds, and reorganized the offense.

The Lakers' defense has been persistent, and the Heat's defense is to hit the iron again and again. In the end, James rushed to the basket to score the ball, and Cole hit a short-range throw.

And Jamison's performance is still going on, the Lakers after Jamison debut, in addition to one Gasol inside, four people outside have the ability to shoot.

This kind of situation has never been encountered by the Heat in the first three games!

The Lakers passed the ball continuously, and Jamison caught the ball at the top of the arc and made a three-pointer!

Hit!

At 22:16, the Lakers led by 6 points!

Jamison scored 7 points in a row, using his offensive performance to repay Mike Brown's trust.

"It seems that Mike Brown's substitution adjustment is very effective. Mike Brown's personnel adjustment in this series is indeed very thoughtful."

Mike Brown didn't know it yet, and he was praised again.
