1421.The Situation of the Finals (Part 2)
After the first game of the finals, Sun Ce estimated that the psychological blow suffered by James would not be less than that of Paul after the first game of the Western Finals.
Although there was a suppressive effect of the "King of the Western Finals" at that time, this effect was to amplify the negative emotions of the opponent, not to increase the negative emotions out of thin air, Sun Ce felt that the Western Finals lost, no matter how much it was magnified, the shadow in his heart was not as large as James's psychological shadow after the 2011 finals.
However, James and Paul are very different, Paul's mentality has collapsed, James has slowed down for a day and adjusted!
As the core of the tactics, if James doesn't collapse, others won't collapse, and they all know that if they lose two games in a row at home, there will basically be no next game in Miami this season, so tonight fight, although Wade only scored 17 points in the whole game, he scored 10 points in the final quarter and locked the win with Ray Allen.
Sun Ce felt that his side played no problem, although he only played 37 minutes, but the strategy was executed better, and his state was good, all 20 points, 14 boards, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal, and there were only two turnovers.
But there was no way, the opponent's pitcher played really well, and Ray Allen played 22 minutes and scored 26 points.
On their side, they have Paul George with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a single game, and Ray Allen on the opposite side has more opportunities.
……
After playing their first two away games, the Grizzlies returned to Memphis in a good atmosphere.
Although it lost to the Heat last night, the big score was 1-1!
has grabbed the home advantage, although it was not directly 2-0, this is not bad, in the finals want to win away from home at the beginning, it is not so easy, except for the kind of strength disparity is particularly large, otherwise it is basically to the fifth and sixth games to really see which side has a greater chance of winning.
The whole team on the Grizzlies side knows that the victory or defeat between them and the Heat depends on which player plays better.
Back in Memphis, Sun Ce and his teammates gathered at the arena to discuss the issues exposed in Game 2.
In fact, in the first two games, they didn't do a very good job of cutting off James' passing, the first game was won, and the problem was covered up, but the second game was lost, and it was lost by James's 14 assists in a single game, which made Sun Ce and his teammates feel a sense of crisis.
Especially Sun Ce, he knows that this year's Heat team is not the Heat team in 2014 where James' defense began to decline, Wade's state declined further, Bosh played center more and more, and Mike Miller and other role players lost a lot after two consecutive championships.
It's the Heat team that faced the Spurs in the 2013 Finals, except for the sixth game that was won by luck, and the other three victories were all real wins!
Moreover, the team has become stronger with Nene, James has done a better job of blocking and pick-and-roll, and Bosh has played with ease at the power forward position......
In the second game, the Grizzlies focused on defending the cooperation of James and Bosh, and James seized the opportunity to pass the ball to the pitchers, as well as the play of Wade, who still had gas in the tank at the critical moment.
In response to the problems exposed in the second game, Sun Ce and his teammates discussed for an afternoon.
By the next morning, in the team's tactical meeting, the coaching staff focused on the same direction as the players, focusing on the offense against James.
The others had to rely on the two leading scorers in regulation time to help the team bite the difference, and it was best to take the lead, so that Sun Ce and Randolph could have more favorable conditions in the second half.
The strategic goal is very clear, and the defensive coordination of the opponent's tactics has also been practiced, and the next game is still to watch the performance!
Just like Sun Ce's 20 points in the third quarter in the first game, and Ray Allen's 7 three-pointers in the second game, no one can say anything about the state.
That's very simple, try to find your groove and try your best to play better!
……
The two-day rest day between home and away went by in a flash.
On June 12, the Grizzlies' first home game day in this year's Finals arrived.
The local fans were thrilled to have the opportunity to see their team win the title at home!
When the Heat players came to FedEx Arena for training yesterday, they already felt the fanatical atmosphere of Memphis.
Yesterday there was no game, and thousands of fans came to the arena to greet the Grizzlies players to prepare for the game, and at the same time, to boo the Heat.
It's an atmosphere that Heat players don't feel on their home court, and just after the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the Finals, more than 9,000 spectators left the American Airlines Center early.
The media refers to the fans who leave the court early as "spectators", which is quite obvious, and it is a good interpretation of the "loyalty" of Heat fans, and Miamins are probably the most fond of joining in the fun but also the most impatient sports fans.
The Grizzlies find the Heat difficult to deal with, and James, too, feels that the Grizzlies are difficult to deal with.
Now playing three games in a row against the Grizzlies on the road, James thought about being defended 6-of-18 in the last game, thanks to Ray Allen and Mike Miller's good shots, Wade scored 10 points in the crucial fourth quarter.
The tactical strategy used by the Grizzlies is very clear, and their Heat team has to fight with the Grizzlies in the regular phase and in key moments.
If people don't play false, they will fight for strength.
At this time, apart from strengthening the coordination of offense and defense, there is nothing to use.
However, after winning the Finals for the first time in his career, James is now very combative, as long as he wins one of the three away games, he will bring the Finals back to Miami and regain home-court advantage!
When there is not much difference in strength, the outcome of each game in a series may determine the final outcome of the match.
And the home court advantage is the most important, for example, in the fourth quarter of the first game, because Klay Thompson made a three-point shot in the last round, Wade couldn't keep up with Klay Thompson's running position and pulled Klay Thompson, Klay Thompson didn't take it seriously, but Wade himself still came up and chattered.
In the away game, Wade has a high probability of being ejected for two technical fouls, but there is none.
Although the Heat didn't win that game, it also proved the importance of home-court advantage.
Just like now, James is facing the threat of being 4-1 because he lost the first game, and if he wins that game, even if the Grizzlies win all three home games, there is a high probability that they will end up in a tie-break.
That's where the existing schedule doesn't make sense, but that's what the existing schedule is.
Therefore, for three consecutive away games, James is very determined to win at least one game!
