Swish!

Swish!

Dwyane Wade hit both shots from the free-throw line to widen the margin.

In the rematch, Hawks point guard McBibby controlled the rhythm steadily, and then passed the ball to Marvin Williams, who had a better chance, Williams singled James Jones with the ball, opened up a little space, and quickly passed the ball to Josh Smith who cut in the air.

This time, Sean Marion completely let go of his defense.

However, after Josh Smith received the basketball, he did not rush to the basket and dunk. Instead, choose to throw outside the reasonable collision zone.

Josh Smith's jump shot was consistently below the passing line, and his pull-and-go shooting was understandable...... Bang!

While the basketball was playing iron, Dugg jammed Horford hard, and Sean Marion ran in to get the rebound.

"Josh Smith's air cutting ability is so strong? The Heat's four forwards can't even control Shaun Marion? Earl Johnson said in amazement.

Kenny Smith next to him replied sharply: "No, it's Sean Marion's defensive ability that has declined." He seemed very hesitant in the last ball, and this time, he was directly thrown away by a simple 'big cross reverse cut'. All players who leave Stephen Nash will have a decline of varying degrees. Obviously, Sean Marion is no longer worthy of the high annual salary of $17.81 million. ”

Their conversation was broadcast live on a large-screen TV in the VIP box at the American Airlines Center.

Mitch Ellison's expression twitched visibly.

He didn't expect Sean Marion's flank defense ability to degrade to this extent.

Pat Riley was also unexpected.

But it's a great event. Originally, Boss Mitch's words could not hide his attachment to Sean Marion's flank defense. Right now... He was actually passed by Josh Smith. Isn't this a godsend?

"Why is Josh Smith so cowardly?"

Banks, who was sitting on the bench, complained to himself in the dark. It was a very good one-shot opportunity. But... He actually gave up.

Compared to Banksys being anxious on the bench, Dugg told Josh Smith directly: "You're really not brave at all." ”

He didn't mind spurring Josh Smith a bit.

He hopes Josh Smith is increasingly keen to hit the paint, which means Atalanta's attacking pattern will be more one-dimensional and inefficient.

"Seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, I can do it on your head at any time. What are you anxious about? Josh Smith's tone was very haughty.

"Come on, then."

Dugg straightforwardly initiated the invitation.

"Wait and see!"

Josh Smith dropped a word and ran quickly to the frontcourt.

After the restart, Dwyane Wade pulled away the singles and broke into the paint again, and he handed the basketball to Duge. Dugg sent a behind-the-back pass to the box, and Wade received the ball behind him and scored on a backhand layup.

The small-area pass was very delicate, and the two "short" players completed the delicate combination of embroidery in the long-standing Atalanta penalty area.

"Dwyane is becoming more and more willing to work with Snoopy, and he hasn't given the ball to Shaun Marion for five consecutive rounds."

Pat Riley said meaningfully in the VIP box.

Boss Mickey was silent and lost in thought.

Back to it.

Atlanta still executes a singles strategy.

McWoodson has stressed to the outside world more than once that the biggest tactic of the current Hawks is to give the basketball to Joe Johnson alone. (Original.) ）

And Joe Johnson's singles ability is not enough to force Wade.

Moreover... Although the second scorer Josh Smith always insisted that he could dunk on Dug's head at any time, he just didn't execute, and even though Sean Marion released water again and again, he still kept choosing to throw or pass.

Based on this situation, the Atlanta Eagles have all but come to a standstill in the air cutting to create kills.

The Heat, on the other hand, have gradually formed a new style of play in which Dwyane Wade is the main axis and Snoopy is the central axis. Led by the two, Miami began to be able to hit some goals in various positions.

This is something that even head coach Spoelstra did not expect: because it is completely detached from the 19 technical and tactical styles of play in the tactical manual.

Although this style of play still looks frizzy and does not have many layers of variation from a professional point of view, it is enough to deal with the Atlanta youth team.

As a result, the score difference gradually widened.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter.

Miami already has a 15-point lead.

At this point, Spoelstra opted to replace Wade, Marion and Dugg, and he decided to grind in the rotation.

When Dwyanwade was replaced by Dug, the front court trio of Ronald Murray, Josh Smith and Zazapachulia on the other side immediately set out to dominate the paint. Joel Anthony, Haslem and Dorrell Wright were beaten straight to scum.

There is a saying in China that if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.

When Snoopy was on the floor, he didn't think he stood out much, after all, the Heat didn't have an absolute advantage in rebounding statistics, and Elhov and Marvin Williams could also hit some shots in the restricted area.

However, when Snoopy went off the court, the team's interior was completely wiped out by the Eagles' bench.

That's when Mitch Ellison realized how important Snoopy's conscientious slot was.

While he sometimes struggled with Horford's jumpers and back-to-back hooks, he never let his opponents get what he wanted, and the Hawks never treated the Miami paint area like they do now...... Rumble!

"Josh Smith dunked again."

Mitch Ellison sighed helplessly.

At this moment, his perception of Snoopy has been turned upside down. Originally, he thought that Pat Riley's selection of Snoopy was more based on business considerations, and that he himself was treating him as a cash cow, and did not really have high hopes for him in basketball.

But now, he's starting to think Snoopy has the potential to be a good team player, and his blocks, slots, and passes give Mitch Ellison a sparkle in the eye.

But... He was conservative about Pat Riley's previous idea of trading Shaun Marion to make way for Snoopy, although that attitude was shaken by several flank defensive failures by Shaun Marion.

Rumble!

Thirty-five seconds later, Josh Smith once again ate Dorrell Wright's defense in a quick transition between offense and defense, and entered the box to complete a left-handed dunk under Pachulia's thick cover.

His last three consecutive runs have ended with a dunk.

Immediately afterward, the first half of the game ended with the whistle that Banks missed a three-point shot.

56：48。

The Heat still have an eight-point lead.

But in the last three minutes, Atalanta recovered seven points.

This made Spoelstra look heavy as he walked into the locker room, and if the Heat's starters were still ranked at the league average because of Dwyane's Wade. But... Rotating the lineup, Spoelstra simply wants to go to the NBDL for another massive draft.

While this problem will ease with Michael Beasley's return in the next game, but... Should he lead the rotation or let Snoopy, who was a standout performer tonight, execute?

This is the immediate priority before Spoelstra.

"I'd like to be the sixth man on the team."

Before entering the locker room, Dugg seemed to read Spoelstra's thoughts.

It was the first time he had taken the initiative to pitch his ideas to the manager.

Spoelstra was a little surprised, and said, "But, your agent said. If you get 40 starts, your Nike contract will increase by $800,000 a year. ”

"That's 800,000 dollars. I want to be the heart of the rotation and I want to dominate the ball on my own. Dugg said seriously.

Spoelstra thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll let you try this game tonight." If you can lead the team to stabilize the decline in the rotation. I would consider putting you at the heart of the rotation in the next games. ”
