    Clippers fans hope that Game 6 will be the time to decide the winner.

    After the game, people who hate LeBron James seized the opportunity to ridicule him.  With Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen around him, he couldn't even beat the Clippers with an incomplete lineup. This "emperor" really failed.  Fortunately, the Heat were eliminated by the Nets last season, and they were swept into the finals, which was even more embarrassing.

    Last season, the Clippers' lineup was invincible. Although it is a little weaker this season, it is still strong.  The super core is the reason why the Clippers are strong.  As long as Ye Feng doesn't leave, the foundation will not be broken.

    When people see Josh Smith put up good numbers with the Wizards, they feel that the Clippers have lost an indispensable general. In fact, Smith is not tall enough at the 4th position, and his shooting at the 3rd position is not particularly good, and his offensive role is not obvious.  The main thing is defense.  Tony Allen is even more like this. His shooting is terrible and he cannot be used in confrontations.  Curry and Thornton have overlapping positions, so giving Thornton more playing time is the same.  Now because these three are missing, people have mythologized Ye Feng.

    Take this year¡¯s Nets team as an example. Having more people playing is not necessarily a good thing.  The Nets have to allocate playing time to each position. Everyone cannot exert their full power. Over time, their self-confidence will be affected, and their performance will not be as good as last season.  Players like Ariza, Hayward, and Hayes have been almost used up.

    There is also the Los Angeles Lakers. Before the start of each season, the lineup makes people think about it and is regarded as the favorite to win the championship.  But that's not the case at all.  What's ridiculous is that the Lakers didn't make the playoffs, and there are still a group of die-hard Komies saying that Kobe's teammates are not good.  The team's salary is hundreds of millions, but the teammates can't do it?  So much money might as well be donated to charity.

    On June 12, the whole world focused on this game.  Two hours before kickoff, the square outside Staples Center was filled with fans.

    This time people have unified their uniforms, which is a big move. Fans spontaneously wore Clippers jerseys to watch the game. As a result, a "wonderful scene" since the birth of basketball appeared in the audience. Almost all the audience wore Ye Feng's 74  Jersey number.  certainly.  This is also related to hype and momentum building.  After the team went to the away game, the Clippers began to promote the uniform number 74 at home.  The fans saw the promotion and spontaneously changed into clothes.

    Ye Feng had known about this for a long time when he entered the stadium.  Still almost moved to tears, what an honor this is?  He felt like a god!

    Before the game started, a small ceremony was held.  Ye Feng donates to charity every year based on his total points scored during the regular season. He gave a check to the president of the charity at the scene, and the audience cheered.  Such a show can also boost morale.

    Amid people¡¯s expectations, the game begins.

    The Clippers¡¯ starting five are Pau Gasol, Ye Feng, Barnes, Harrison, and Thomas.  The Heat sent Bosh, Parsons, James, Wade and Chalmers.

    The Heat launched a fierce attack at the beginning.  James and Wade frequently broke through to the inside under the cover of their teammates.  Parsons can start with Bosh on the outside, leaving the low post completely to the two superstars.

    Wade and James are both people with a lot of offensive skills.  Especially Ye Feng couldn't block James' fadeaway jumper, so he could only try his best to interfere.  James scored three consecutive goals in the opening game, and Wade also made it difficult for Gasol to defend after being misplaced.

    When Barkley saw the Heat's double pick-and-roll, he couldn't help but sigh: "If the Heat had played like this earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been the Clippers leading 3-2. They always wanted to achieve a balance of offense and defense before, but they were not as determined as the Clippers."

    After half a quarter, the Heat took the lead.  And at 7 minutes and 22 seconds, James broke through with the ball and caused Ye Feng's second foul.  Thibodeau had to replace him and requested a timeout.

    Today James was very aggressive and overwhelmed Ye Feng, who had a poor touch.  The Clippers replaced Marcus Thornton and Marc Gasol.  Replaced Ye Feng and Harrison.  The Heat replaced Wade and replaced him with Ray Allen.

    Ye Feng only scored 4 points and was fouled twice. He felt a little depressed. He only hoped that his teammates could withstand the pressure during this period and not let the score open too much.

    Thornton shouldered the task of holding the ball and attacking.  His overall strength is better than Thomas and he is an important rotation player for the Clippers.  If the Heat wants to completely guard him, it will take a lot of effort.  Before the injury, everyone said that signing him and giving up Curry was a wise decision. His strength is not as good as Curry.  Or Eric Gordon of the Bobcats.

    Thornton did not disappoint, and soon scored 7 points from inside and outside shots, helping the team bite the score, falling behind 25-29 in the first quarter.

    In the second quarter, the Clippers sent a combination of Gasol, Sacre, Jones, Thornton, and Hinrich.  The Heat landed Dalembert, Bosh, Lewis, Ray Allen, and Moore.

    The pick-and-roll cooperation between Thornton and Thackeray worked well. Thornton scored another 6 points in two minutes.  Overtaken the score.  Jones did not suffer a disadvantage in the matchup with Lewis and hit a three-pointer.?.  However, the Heat's entire team was misfiring, including Bosh. Thackeray's low-post defense had an effect.

    34 to 29.  The Clippers went on a 9-0 offensive run, going from 4 points behind to 5 points ahead.  The audience cheered as if the championship was within reach.  Seeing that his teammates were playing well, Ye Feng did not take the risk of playing early and sat on the sidelines to watch the game.

    "Magic" Johnson said: "If Thornton keeps this state throughout the season, he should be an All-Star."

    Maybe it¡¯s an exaggeration, but Thornton is indeed very strong, and Ray Allen can¡¯t guard him.  Right now, the only players with good defense for the Heat are Wade and James.

    The Heat made a substitution and allowed Wade to return to the court. He has rested for a long time since the first quarter and has almost recovered his physical strength.  Unexpectedly, even if Wade played, he could not suppress Thornton's scoring trend.  After he gets the ball, he relies on the screen to break through inside. He can get rid of Wade and meet Dalembert in a misplaced position.  Dalembert couldn't prevent Thornton's breakthrough.  Thornton scored two more points with a layup.

    In the next round, Wade failed to make a breakthrough shot. Thackeray took the backboard and passed Hinrich, who launched a fast break for Thornton.  Only Moore of the Heat returned to defense. Thornton didn't wait for his teammates to attack with the ball. He was confident of scoring.

    Moore did not stick close to him and followed him to the basket.  Thornton made a throw.  38 to 29.

    Just as people were cheering, they found that the hero of the goal fell to the ground

    There is a saying in China that goes ¡°Extreme joy brings sorrow¡±.  Thornton stole everyone's limelight today. Listening to the cheers of the audience, he also felt that he was a star. He became a little arrogant and became more and more confident. He lost his previous caution and even ignored protective actions.

    The key to throwing is to keep a distance from the opponent, shoot quickly without jumping much, and it is best to ensure that both legs land together.  In order to pursue speed, Thornton took off on one foot and landed on one foot.  The shot was subtle enough to deceive Moore, but when his right foot came down, it happened to step on Moore's foot.

    Back then, Bruce Bowen of the Spurs liked to stretch his feet under the opponent's feet when others were shooting jumpers. This would have a high chance of spraining his ankle.  Moore was only in his second year and had no such experience, which was a surprise.  Thornton could only blame himself for being unlucky when he stepped on his foot.

    Thornton sprained, both players and fans, in the arena and in front of the TV, all had an ominous premonition.

    The team doctor came on stage and checked Thornton¡¯s ankle, which was already swollen.  Thornton is not Koken Akagi, and this is not a caricature, so even though this game is very important and the Clippers need him, he can't play.  Thornton left the field with the help of Lamb, and he will undergo detailed examination next.

    The game continued, the Heat attacked, and after Wade hit the mid-range shot, Thibodeau requested a timeout. He was originally smiling, but now he looked like he had been slapped, with an ugly expression.

    The players surrounded the city, and Thibodeau said: "Isiah (Thomas), you come on the court and try to break through. Ye and Isiah cooperated in the pick-and-roll. Marc (Gasol) and Paul (Gasol) were in the low post, one person pulling  Go to the perimeter to cover. On the defensive end, Ye defended James, Matt (Barnes) defended Wade. Isiah defended Ray. Allen, Paul and Mark protected the basket."

    The Clippers sent out a 32-zone defense.  It will be more difficult for Thomas to defend against Ray Allen, and the Heat may not let the Clippers do what they want.

    The Heat also made substitutions, and James returned to the court, replacing Moore.  The Heat have only one substitute, Dalembert, in order to strengthen the low-post defense.

    Thornton is injured and the Clippers are weakened. This is an opportunity for the Heat.  Love's absence has damaged the inside line, and now the outside line has lost another general.

    Thomas's breakthrough may not be worse than Thornton's, but his overall strength is much worse, and his defense is especially bad.  He didn't feel very good today either. He got a chance to shoot when he came on the court, and his pull-up jumper missed.

    The Heat seized the opportunity and started to counterattack.  Bosh cooperated with Wade on the outside in the pick-and-roll. Wade broke through and distributed the ball. Bosh squeezed Thomas out of the way to catch the ball and broke through from the center. He dunked and scored with one hand, and also caused a foul on Gasol's defender.  Bosh added a free throw and the Heat got closer.  38 to 34.

    Ye Feng provided a screen for Thomas, who missed a layup and the rebound was taken by Bosh.  The Heat attacked in position, Ray Allen held the ball in singles, and the players pulled away. He dribbled the ball to beat Thomas, and turned and hit a jumper.  38 to 36.

    Ray Allen is not a player who can only shoot three-pointers. If there is a good opportunity, he can also attack with the ball.

    The Clippers attacked, and Ye Feng went to the outside to cover. After Thomas broke through, he was unable to pass the ball back to Ye Feng. James went around successfully.  Ye Feng ran 45 degrees from the right side. Gasol covered without the ball and helped him avoid James. When the space appeared, Thomas' passing awareness was not good enough and he failed to immediately stuff the ball to the baseline. Instead, he passed it out  outside line.

    James bypassed the screen and followed Ye Feng.  Thibodeau shook his head on the sidelines. If the Clippers had a ball-handling perspective,Guard, the positional attack will be sharper.

    Ye Feng asked for the ball in the low post on the left, and Barnes lobbed the ball in.  James defended, Ye Feng leaned back, turned around and made a throw in the middle!  40 to 34.

    Ye Feng has to take on more offensive tasks and is under great pressure.  This game must be won. If they lose and Thornton cannot play in the next game, the Clippers will be absolutely passive.  (To be continued)
