After the first quarter of the Seattle SuperSonics and Miami Heat, the scores were very, very close.

The Seattle SuperSonics scored 38 points in the first quarter, while the Miami Heat also scored 38 points.

Throughout the first quarter, the performance of the SuperSonics and the Heat was basically not much different from the last time the two teams met.

On the scene, the Heat is still suppressing the supersound.

But the Heat's suppression can't be translated into victory.

Don't look at the supersonic being overwhelmed by the heat, but the supersonic can always score.

Not only is Durant able to shoot the ball on the offensive end no matter how he is impacted by James, not only does Rondo suddenly explode at some point in the first quarter of this game, but even in the first quarter of this game, Milicic is more comfortable playing Chandler.

After Milicic turned into pork belly this season, his power on the defensive end has dropped very, very much.

But why did Nelson Sr. never give up Milicic's starting position, but straightened Gasol Jr.?

It's because after turning into pork belly, Milicic's destructive power on the offensive end has risen very quickly!

Milicic was versatile in attack and defense last season, but in the finals against Chandler, there was a little bit of offensive incompetence and nowhere to use defense, after all, Chandler didn't need his defensive ability.

In this case, Milicic was arguably one of the worst supersonic starters to play in last season's Finals.

Well, alongside Millsap.

And this season's meaty Milicic has more means when facing Chandler, the bitter opponent in last season's finals, I don't know how much.

Milicic made himself a pork belly last offseason, apparently not just because of the kindness of the people back home.

What's more important is that Milicic understands.

Rather than being offensive and defensive in an all-round way, it is better to let go of one piece and strengthen the other.

The SuperSonics are excellent on the perimeter, and against the average team, even if he doesn't move as fast, he won't be a hole on the defensive end.

And in the face of strong teams, whether it is Chandler facing the Heat or Kwame Brown of the Mavericks, their offense is not so strong, and it is a bit wasteful to keep the defense, it is better to exchange the movement of the defense for the meat and power of the offense.

Whether Milicic's choice ultimately succeeds or fails will take time to judge.

But against the Heat, Milicic's choice was still very correct.

If Milicic is still the Milicic of last season, even if there is Durant's god-like ability to bite the game, even if there is Rondo's outburst.

In the first quarter of this game, it was absolutely impossible for the SuperSonics to tie with the Heat.

Last season's Milicic was definitely not going to be as comfortable as Chandler and Garnett's defense.

Last season's Milicic will still be the kind of all-around or all-around that can be a bit of a chicken when he faces Chandler and Garnett.

The Seattle SuperSonics, under such domineering pressure from the Miami Heat in this game, actually tied with the powerful Heat after the first quarter.

This is really incredible.

Including live commentary, the audience in front of the TV, and many NBA professionals in front of the TV.

"The Seattle SuperSonics weren't intimidated by such a powerful heat......"

To be reasonable, Kobe Bryant was really amazed at the first quarter of the game for these young people of the SuperSonics.

Even he and the Lakers, when they see a lineup like the Heat, they will feel powerless, not to mention scared, but they are definitely very, very powerless.

Now that the news has been coming out, even the kid Arenas is in despair that has lost his dream by the Heat.

Before the start of this game, although the whole Heat team did not say anything cruel, the idea of tearing supersonic apart in a gesture is simply known to passers-by.

Thinking about the last game, the supersonic starters were suppressed and couldn't do it.

The prediction of many experts for this game is that the supersonic speed may be destroyed as soon as it comes up.

And now, after the first quarter, the supersound has not been broken.

Even the powerful Heat, even if they live the supersonic suppression, can only accept the reality of being bitten by the supersonic speed.

For the SuperSonics after the first quarter of the game can bite their own team.

The Heat players were very unhappy.

In this game, the Heat players are chasing a little more.

Looking at the big players of these teams on the bench, Spoelstra was not as unhappy as they were.

For Spoelstra, a first-quarter tie in this game was not unacceptable.

In the last game between the two teams, the Heat also dominated the first quarter, but they fell behind by three points.

That's right, when the Heat team is on offense, it is very powerful, Wade vs. Rondo, James vs. Durant, it's all physical crushing, and it does have a great advantage on the screen.

But actually, in terms of offensive effectiveness, James and Wade have an advantage over Durant and Rondo on the offensive end, and Chris Bosh also has an advantage over Millsap.

But on the other hand, when the SuperSonics are attacking, although the offense of Durant and Rondo is not as physically overwhelming, the Heat team actually can't prevent Durant and Rondo, and Milicic now has an offensive advantage over Chandler.

It can be said that in the case of Yes's complete non-offense in the first quarter, the two teams each had three offensive strengths, and each of them could not defend the opponent's offensive strengths.

Isn't a draw a deserved outcome in this case?

Even, Spoelstra felt that this result was lucky for the Heat.

Because Yes didn't shoot a single shot in the entire first quarter, with 0 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds.

Whether it's because James and Wade are very effective in wrapping up Yes in this game or Yes still has no desire to attack, the defense against Yes in the first quarter is still very successful in terms of Yes's scoring.

In this game, James and Wade were sandwiched Yes, but he directly gave up Rondo's defense, and even Durant's defense was a one-on-one combination.

No one can defend Rondo anyway, and James can't defend Durant anyway.

Then just adjust the defense of these two people, and put Wade and James, the two players with the best outside defense in the Heat, in front of Yes.

As long as Yes's score is truly suppressed, Spoelstra believes that the rest of the SuperSonics will not be able to beat the Heat!

He has a lot of confidence in the current Heat.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heat was so strong, he would never dare to use such a defensive strategy against the superSonics.

At the moment, judging by the first quarter, his strategy is successful.

Of course, he was happy with the first quarter, and the Heat players were understandably unhappy.

It is normal for players and coaches to be inconsistent except for the goal of winning.

As a manager, he never aims to humiliate opposing players.

His goal has always been to play against top coaches like Nelson Sr.

"Damn, these guys are so annoying!"

James is very uncomfortable, and if he wants to plant an invincible image in front of Yes and the SuperSonics, such a score in the first quarter is naturally impossible.

"LeBron, Yes hasn't scored yet."

James, who was sitting on the court, heard Wade say this, and the expression on his face was stunned for a moment, and his face improved slightly.

Yes No score has been scored in this game!

This gives James and the Heat players a lot of other ideas.

Even if you can't humiliate the supersonic and can't plant the invincible image of the Heat in the minds of the supersonic in this game, the Heat can have other pursuits in this game.

For example, don't let Yes get 20 points!

Yes has scored 20 points in 33 consecutive games this season!

Even, not only did they not let Yes score 20 points, but in this game, they could even pursue not allowing Yes to score more than 20 points, so that Yes's career score fell below 20 for the first time!

Yes's 20+ points per game in the NBA is now on the path to the NBA's No. 1 legendary stats.

If you interrupt the data that may become the NBA's No. 1 legend in the future, there is an incomparable temptation for James.

Thinking of this, James, who was very dissatisfied with the result of the game in the first quarter, calmed down a little and looked at the players on both sides on the court.

Now on the court, the superSonics' rotation players are still Gasol Jr., Serge Ibaka, James Harden, Sessions and Tucker.

The lineup on the Heat's side is Garnett, Chris Bosh, Rasheed Wallace, Pierce, and Money.

The Heat had an eight-man rotation in this game, and in order to trade Garnett and Pierce, the Heat not only lost Ben Gordon, but also lost the team's bench depth.

Fortunately, the absolute strength of the Heat is strengthened, as long as the Heat can beat the game out of garbage time, the eight-man rotation does not matter, and there will not really be too much consumption.

So the eight-man rotation of the Heat has no problem playing a weak team, but there are a few problems playing a strong team.

The Heat's eight-man rotation adjusts their rotation based on their opponents.

In this game, in order to contain Yes at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Ray Allen and Wade James are the same as Yes.

Yass played the first quarter, and the three men also played the first quarter.

And apart from this guy, Chris Bosh and Chandler have both been alternately rotated.

Garnett can rotate Chris Bosh or Chandler.

And Rasheed Wallace can also rotate Bosh.

Rasheed Wallace's kite flickering was not as effective in restraining Millsap as well.

But this veteran is also a very good kite-type interior line in the league right now.

This season, Rasheed Wallace has shot more than 50% from mid-range, more than 42% from long range and nearly 35% from three-point range.

For this game between the Heat and the SuperSonics, Spoelstra was satisfied with the performance of the Heat in the first quarter.

Spoelstra has always believed that the Heat's victory in this game is the team's change in rotation time.

Compared with the previous rotation of the Heat, the rotation lineup of the Heat has now become stronger in strength.

Garnett and Chris Bosh are more restrained on the inside, whether it is Gasol Jr. or Ibaka, when facing Garnett and Chris Posh, there will not be so strong defense and maneuver space.

And Rashid Wallace against Tucker, Tucker's defense is very strong, but Rashid is very tall, and his shooting is outstanding, Tucker can limit Rashid, but he can't guard Rashid, Rashid can shoot at any time, Tucker and James Harden can't drive Rashid to Ibaka and Gasol Jr. like Ben Gordon.

And the more important point of the Heat is Pierce!

It is very, very difficult for Ben Gordon to beat James Harden with his back, Ben Gordon seems to be all-round offensively, but when he encounters James Harden, his back is almost useless, and he can only be driven to challenge the interior defense in the movement, and in the end he is either taken or hit by iron, which is very inefficient.

But Pierce is different.

Pierce is capable of backing James Harden!

It can be said that, according to Spoelstra's theoretical plan, the defensive end of the last game was almost a desperate supersonic rotation player for the Heat's defense.

The defense of this game will collapse by him and the Heat!

So, Spoelstra has always felt that the way the Heat won this game was the same as the way the SuperSonics won last time.

The starting lineups of the two teams are anxious, and the rotation lineup is decisive, and the winner of this rotation lineup will belong to the Miami Heat!

After the start of the second quarter, the Miami Heat's rotation time performance in this game was significantly different from the feeling of the last time the two teams met.

Tonight's Heat rotation lineup is indeed the strongest opponent for the SuperSonics rotation lineup this season.

"Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh, Rasheed Wallace, Pierce, Money, Heat, this rotation lineup, in the East, I'm afraid it can easily enter the Eastern Conference finals, right?"

"Not only in the East, even in the West, there is a very strong competitiveness, Garnett and Pierce Rashid are poor in physical strength, playing rotation, but not because of more playing time and lack of physical strength, Garnett and Pierce Rashid can go all out to play their strength, if a game is only 25 minutes, this lineup, in the West can also enter the West!"

"Hehe, after the last time the two teams played, many people said that the supersonic have ten All-Stars, and this game is the time for the SuperSonics to prove whether they really have ten All-Stars!"

"How do I feel like I'm gloating when I hear you?"

"I'm just gloating!"

On the court, Pierce, who was leaning back on James Harden, was disdainful of the bearded man behind him.

What supersonic ten all-stars, with this beard, are also worthy of the strength of all-stars?

Barkley probably hasn't played for a long time and doesn't know what an All-Star is!

Now, I'll let you know what kind of player is an All-Star!

Left!

Right!

Left!

Remove!

"Beautiful!"

Pierce's very rhythmic back-and-forth turnaround step-back jumper made Barkley on the sidelines secretly praise.

But......

After Barkley finished praising it, the sound of the basketball clattering iron came.

The sound surprised not only Spoelstra and Barkley on the pitch, but also the crowd on the sidelines.

"Pierce actually beat James Harden behind his back and failed......"

What's going on?

Pierce, who fell from the sky, looked at the cute-looking bearded man standing in front of him in amazement.

The rhythm just now didn't go in......

This kid was actually in that situation, not only was he not fooled, but he was also able to withstand me......

This, how is this possible?

This is truly astonishing!
