Chapter 292: The Giant's Victory
Hu Qingniu has always believed that in a top team, strong players and a continuous system are indispensable.
Pat Riley apparently thinks so, so he immediately set out to solve the team's system problems after the Heat's talent accumulation was completed. The arrival of Webb and Williams reminded Riley of the Princeton system for the first time.
Riley has only had the players test run for a week, and so far, it seems that the players are quite adaptable, and the results are good.
However, scoring on the offensive end doesn't mean everything.
The Heat's defense hasn't changed in the slightest, for example, Wade inserted an arrow directly into the restricted area, forcing the Heat four to shrink.
Seeing that the encirclement was formed, Wade's little hand shook, and the ball had been passed out covertly.
Only the attentive Webb noticed this, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the big shark standing behind him, and that he had already caught the basketball.
Webber went up with his teeth and claws, and the fat man hit it directly without mercy, and Webber suddenly flew out of the bottom line and became a rolling gourd.
In the face of Maddie and Haslem, O'Neal directly pulled out a violent dunk to end the attack.
Next, the Heat's Princeton came again, and their movement was like a whirlpool, and Webb stood in the high post to become the center of the vortex, and his teammates all rotated around him.
The Bobcats were tightly defended and didn't seem to stand a chance like this.
Suddenly, Haslem stopped running and he gave Maddie a barely cover.
From Hu's point of view, it was almost a move cover, as Haslem was constantly moving with small broken steps.
Hu protested, but the referee was indifferent.
Golden opportunity! Webb hurried to throw the ball out!
Maddie got the basketball in the bottom corner, and the defender Josh was already entangled, and Maddie immediately opened his hand and shot, a long two-point shot.
Both sides were so sharp in attack that they fought against each other until the final round, when the two teams were tied 125-125.
Heat possession.
Pat Riley called a timeout, and he was ready to lay out the final attack.
The Bobcats players are also off the court, and the Heat have had many illegal covers just now, so that the players have some opinions.
I don't know if it's because the Heat's tactics are not very skillful, so they often use mobile screens when they run in the wrong position, which is an obvious foul, but because it is on the home court of the Heat, the referees have a certain tendency, and they turn a blind eye to it.
Haslem pouts his ass to block Josh on the move, or Webb leans out in small steps to slow down the opponent's passage through the screen. It's all a matter of detail, but it has a big impact on the situation on the pitch and the mentality of the players.
It is the most discouraging thing to be able to prevent it, but the opponent scores in an illegal way.
Hu Qingniu briefly comforted the players, he knew that this disadvantage was inevitable in the away game, and the players had to correct their mentality.
After getting on the field, the players quickly settled into position, and the big battle was about to break out. The players on both sides are staring at where the basketball is, and no one can be sloppy with the most critical ball.
In the last ball, the Heat still ran with Princeton, and it was Maddy who found an opportunity to catch the ball on the side.
This time, Haslem made another move pick-and-roll, and Hu Qingniu angrily protested to the referee. The referee was expressionless and deaf.
Maddie opted for a breakthrough this time, and since Josh was kept behind Haslem, there was no difficulty in the slightest.
Maddie was in the hinterland in an instant, but what was waiting for him was Ragabel, who happened to flash out from behind Haslem and Josh, standing upright and steady.
Maddie's heart was cold, and she yelled that it was not good!
But helplessly, I couldn't stop it, and I hit it directly with a "bang". Both fell to the ground.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and under the watchful eyes of the Bobcats players and Hu Qingniu, the referee signaled an offensive foul.
Maddie hits someone with the ball and fouls!?
The Heat fans at the scene just quit and began to make noise, such a key ball was blown for an offensive foul, which was almost a death sentence for the team.
The referee motioned for the technical station to play it back on the big screen. However, the replay showed clearly that Bale had already established his footing, and it was indeed Maddie who fouled someone with the ball.
Fans who know a little bit about the rules are embarrassed to make noise now, so they can only wait for the game to restart, but the ball changes hands, put down the ball, and the Heat still have a chance.
Hu Qingniu looked up at the timer, and there were still more than 4 seconds, less than 5 seconds. He called a timeout decisively, and there was still a chance to attack, and whether he had a good idea or not, he had to call a tactic to serve up front.
It's not good, for a coach like Hu Qingniu, who is full of bad water, how can there be no arrangement for the last attack.
After gathering the team members, Hu Qingniu Balabala began to talk non-stop.
"The last shot, it's better to have a basket ......"
The two teams are evenly divided, and the closer they get to the basket, the better the certainty, at least for now.
Hu Qingniu changed formations, he went up Howard, replaced Dazhi, went up Sabonis, and replaced Josh.
"Shaq, Dwight, Lao Sa, you three pay attention to rebounds, we may have a second chance to attack."
In the previous regular season, Hu Qingniu never let any two of O'Neal, Howard, and Sabonis play together.
And this time......
Three-center tactical ......
Hu Qingniu's task for Wade was very simple, after receiving the basketball, he threw it to the basket.
To put it simply, O'Neill is currently around 2.16,320 pounds, and Sabonis is 2.21 meters, which is also more than 300 pounds. And opposite, Webb 2.08m, Haslem 2.03m, two dwarfs.
At this time, in the Heat restricted area, under the attack of the two giant beasts of O'Neal and Sabonis, Webb and Haslem, the two "thin" short men, were simply squeezed into meatloaf. The Heat's restricted area has been completely dominated by the two strong men of the Bobcats, and even Howard can only watch the two big brothers turn over the river on the inside and swim around on the perimeter.
Wade chuckled and threw the ball inside, sending it straight to the basket and bouncing high on the inside edge.
Without any suspense, Sabonis also gave in, and the fat man ended the fight with an easy dunk.
At this time, the audience was still dumbfounded.
Including Pat Riley, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. When did the game turn into a meat grinder game, two big men dominated the restricted area, and his Heat team was powerless to resist.
Riley couldn't help but think of his own language for the future of basketball, five athletes around 2m to 2.05m, regardless of position.
Will they be ruled by five taller but equally athletic players?
Riley quickly shook his head, how could this be above 2.10 meters and still maintain athleticism, this is too fantastical, unless it is a giant in Greek mythology.
