In the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat reversed the Celtics 2-3, G6 James scored 45+15+5, how does Wade Bosh perform

As one of the greatest players in NBA history, James has left too many highlights in his 22-year career, especially in the playoffs. When it comes to James' most classic series performance in his career, we have to say that he played against the Celtics in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals. That round of series was the most critical turning point in James's career. If he failed to stand up at that time, fans would probably not see that James could still play in the NBA.

First, let's first review the background of the times. In 2010, James announced that he would bring his talent to the Miami Heat. You should know that he had just won two MVPs at that time, so his transfer to a player of his level naturally caused a sensation in the league. In addition, he left his hometown team Cleveland, so no matter which team he joined, many of the fans who originally supported him would become his "black fans".

However, the most important reason why James' decision was "ccused" this time was that he chose to join forces with Wade and Bosh, which led to the most luxurious lineup of his career at that time. Although the outside world sneered at James' decision this time, they also thought that James could finally win the championship this time. However, in the first season of the Heat's three giants joining forces, James provided his black fans with the biggest material.

The 2011 Finals were one of the few times James was optimistic in his career. As a result, when the team led 2-1, they were reversed by the Mavericks. Considering James' real strength, his performance in this round of series was terrible. His average of 17.8 points per game was not even better than Jason Terry, who played opposite him, and he also left a "famous scene" of 8 points in the finals. Therefore, in the end, the Heat lost, so James naturally took the biggest blame.

After losing the finals, James fell directly to the lowest point in his career, and not only public opinion mocked him, but the most important thing is that the team is also facing disbandment. After all, the only goal of the Heat team is to win the championship, so even the runner-up will still disappoint the team. Under such circumstances, the 2011-2012 season is very important for James. He must lead the team to win the championship this year to avoid the Heat's ending. At the same time, for him personally, even if he still didn't win the championship in the end, he could not accept that he would perform like the 2011 Finals. He must prove his strength, but fortunately James did it this time.

The 2011-2012 season only played 66 games due to the shrinking of the regular season. Under the leadership of James, the Heat achieved the first record in the league with 50 wins and 16 losses. He personally won his third MVP trophy with his average of 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals. In the playoffs, the Heat eliminated the Knicks in the first round without any effort. In the second round, facing the Pacers, due to Bosh's injury, the team's inside line, which was originally a short-term player, was even more stretched. Fortunately, with the better star quality, the Heat eliminated their opponents 4-2. In this round of the series, James and Wade performed very unsolvable. The former averaged 30+10+6 per game, while Wade averaged 26+5+3 per game.

The finals played against the Celtics, who had only 39 wins and 27 losses in the regular season. At first, I thought there would be no suspense in this round of series. After all, in 2011, the Heat eliminated the Celtics with a 4-1 score. However, due to the recovery of Garnett's form in the playoffs this year, the Celtics were actually better than in 2011. The 35-year-old Garnett averaged 19.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in the playoffs. After the

The Eastern Conference Finals officially started, the Heat still became the first to win. They won two games in a row and quickly took a 2-0 lead, and this was the game that was won without Bosh. James scored a total of 66 points, 23 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks in these two games. It can be said that he was the first hero to be the team's leading position. At that time, he was not only the team's main ball holder on the offensive end, but also had to fight with his opponents in the interior on the defensive end.

However, starting from G3, the situation in the series ushered in a sudden change. G3 James scored 34+8+5+2+2 with a 61.5% shooting percentage, but he failed to lead the team to win. The reason was that the Celtics scored 20+ in this game, Garnett scored 24 points and 11 rebounds, Pierce 23+4+4, Rondo 21+6+10. In addition, although Ray Allen had fewer scenes, he also scored 2 three-pointers and scored 10 points. With their concerted efforts, the Celtics successfully won a game. In the G4 of the

series, James was still the best player. He scored a game-high 29 points, but his performance was not without flaws. That is, he made 7 mistakes in the face of defense, and in the end, he made consecutive mistakes and fouls, resulting in his sending off. In the end, the team also lost the game with a 2-point disadvantage. In addition, Wade's offensive performance was also not good in this game. He only made 7 of 22 shots and contributed 20 points. On the other hand, the Celtics won the game again with 6 players scoring in double digits.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Bosh ushered in a comeback, but he only played for 14 minutes on the bench and performed very poorly. He made 3 of 8 shots and scored 9 points and 7 rebounds. Only James and Wade scored in double digits in this Heat team, with the former scoring 30 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, while Wade scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The Celtics, who won the game, rely on their performance as everyone was in the army. The team scored in double digits in this game, with Garnett also scoring 26 points and 11 rebounds. It is worth mentioning that Pierce only scored 19 points in 19 shots, but at the last critical moment, he hit a priceless three-pointer.

After losing the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Heat were pushed to the edge of the cliff again. They had lost three games in a row and seemed to be powerless to make the situation happen. Therefore, at this time, some fans began to imagine which team the Heat's Big Three will join in the offseason. However, James did not let this happen at this time. When G6 faced the overwhelming booing and insulting fans of Celtics home court, he still focused on the game, so we also witnessed one of the greatest individual performances in NBA playoff history.

James was aggressively stretched out from the beginning, as if he was "incarnated" by Jordan and Kobe, and began to make all kinds of unreasonable shots, and he made every shot. His shooting percentage was as high as 85.7% (12 of 14 shots), so when he scored 30 points after halftime, the Heat also led to double digits. James's touch fell in the third quarter, and in the end, he scored the highest 11 points in the game with a shooting percentage of 62.5%. The subsequent game entered garbage time early, so James no longer took a lot of shots, so his data in this game was frozen at 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, and a shooting percentage of 73.1%. It can be said that if the Celtics resisted and resisted in that game, he would be able to win the only 50+15 game in his playoff career.

Under James's outbreak, the Heat finally dragged the series into the tiebreak with Wade scored 17 points on 6 of 17 shots and Bosh scored 7 points on 3 of 8 shots, and returned to their home court. In the last game, James still performed well. He scored a game-high 31 points and 12 rebounds again. At the same time, Bosh, who was still a substitute, scored one of his best performances in the 2012 playoffs. He contributed 19 points on 8 of 10 shots in a single game, while Wade scored the team's second highest 23 points on 8 of 17 shots. With the combined efforts of the Big Three, the Heat easily won the tiebreak.

Looking back at the entire series, James averaged 33.6 points, 11 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks, and his shooting percentage was 52.7%. It can be said that he is the only player on the court. Wade averaged 21.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. His overall performance is worthy of his status as the second in command. However, Bosh only played 3 games due to injury, and his performance was poor in the first two games. Fortunately, he did not continue to pull the ball in the most critical G7, which can be regarded as saving his reputation.
