Indeed, the Miami Heat adjusted their strategy in the second half, with James starting to lead the offense. However, the Clippers immediately changed their formation, using Spider-Man-like agility to block the area inside the three-point line. Combined with Yao Ming, the rim protector whom James fears the most, James was left with no options for his breakthroughs.
Unable to penetrate, James could only opt for shooting. His shooting was decent tonight, but not enough to turn the tide of the game.
On the contrary, the Clippers unpredictably accelerated the pace of the offense.
Yu Fei brought the ball up the court, facing Curry, lightly lifted his hand, and shot an ultra-long three-pointer from two meters beyond the three-point line.
Then, Yao Ming came out after setting a screen, received the pass and also shot a three-pointer.
Curry tried to use his speed to counter Yao Ming, but in return, Antetokounmpo triumphed over James with his exaggerated footwork.
