Chapter 273: Pat Riley
Subsequently, Ye Feng dribbled across the halfcourt.
The first playoff game of my career really began.
Wade guarded against it at the first time, clinging to Ye Feng.
Now the whole league knows that to defend Ye Feng's three-point shot, he must not be given any vacant opportunities.
The Heat apparently gave that task to Wade.
Although Jones's defense is not bad, after all, he is old, and it is impossible to run with Ye Feng for the whole game.
And to be honest, Jones when he was young couldn't outrun the current Ye Feng.
The Heat's three outside lines, Wade, Jones, and Butler's defense are all good, but only Wade is suitable for defending Ye Feng.
Wade defended very fiercely, the body contact was obvious, the two D-cup big chest muscles on his chest slammed against Ye Feng from time to time, and the two thick arms would occasionally pull and touch, trying to compress Ye Feng and make Ye Feng make mistakes.
However, Ye Feng at this moment is no longer the Ye Feng he used to be in the preseason, his body is stronger, his ball control skills have improved greatly, and ordinary defense will never let him make mistakes.
What's more, Ye Feng is not the main point of attack tonight, and the pressure is not great.
According to the strategy formulated before the game, Ye Feng sent the ball to Ilgoskas, and then withdrew to the corner outside the three-point line to ambush.
(The horn is the position of the angle of 45 degrees.) )
At the same time, Eric Williams lay in ambush at the bottom corner.
Boozer pulls into the middle distance and James runs back and forth.
And all this is to create offensive opportunities for Ilgoskas.
The 221-centimeter Ilgoskas is the Cavaliers' biggest advantage, after all, Odom and Bryan are both less than 210 centimeters, and they are dwarfs in front of him.
The Heat are obviously aware of their shortcomings, but there is nothing they can do.
The team's interior line is generally short, and the backup power forward Haslem is even only 203 centimeters, which is even more disadvantageous.
Bag clips? That Ye Feng, Williams, and Boozer can kill you.
Even Pat Riley, a god operator, is a clever woman who can't cook without rice.
It was Odom who defended Big Z, and Big Z didn't take it too seriously, leaning on his back and making a jump shot directly.
Odom tried to block it, but couldn't reach it.
So this goal can't be scored, it just depends on Big Z's own feel.
Swish!
The ball scored, 2:0, and the big Z lived up to expectations.
Offense and defense switch, Heat offense.
Eddie Jones had just dribbled past halfcourt when the Cavaliers defended a 4-1 pseudo-combo.
James was a man-to-man defender of Jones, and the other four men defended.
Boozer and Big Z fell to the low post, while Ye Feng and Williams stood on either side of the free throw line, and the four surrounded the entire paint area.
"Ahh
The on-site commentary was the first to sigh.
That's right, the Cavaliers have been prepared for a long time, aiming at the characteristics of the Heat's strong breakthrough and poor long-range shooting.
The Cavaliers' three outside lines are all good at breaking through, Wade, Jones, and Butler, among which only Jones has declined a little because of age.
But on the contrary, their long-range shots will not work.
Wade has shot just over 30% of his three-point shooting this season, and to be honest, he hasn't practiced his three-point shooting to an average level in his entire career, perhaps because the breakthrough is too sharp.
Butler has a relatively accurate career, but he is shooting less than 30% from three-point range this season.
The most accurate Eddie Jones is at the level of 37% of his career.
So in the face of such a team, as long as James follows Jones, the Cavaliers can shrink unscrupulously.
Jones tried to get rid of James and break the Cavaliers' pseudo-joint defense with a three-pointer.
But several attempts have ended in failure.
It seems that Jones is also really old, once an All-Star level point guard, but now just a high-level 3D player.
Jones didn't get a chance and passed the ball to Wade and Butler in an attempt to get them to break the situation.
Wade is known as the Flash, and his breakthrough ability is historic, even in the first season, he is not weaker than anyone else, and he is a powerful instant combat force.
(That is, combat power, which can be used as the main force when selected, does not need to be cultivated for a long time.) )
But Ye Feng closed very inward, and retreated directly to the three-point line, with Williams on one side to assist in the defense, and Boozer and Big Z behind him, and the defense was Wade's breakthrough.
In such a situation, Wadekong has the ability but cannot use it.
Every time I squeezed in, I hit the human wall, and I couldn't find space at all.
Just tried left and right, the Heat never found a way to break the formation, and the time passed second by second.
Seeing that 24 seconds were coming, Wade forced a shot from outside the three-point line.
Bang!
The ball was so deflected that it didn't even touch the basket and smashed directly on the rebound.
rebounding, the four-person shrinking Cavaliers already have an advantage, coupled with the height advantage, the Heat can't grab rebounds at all.
Boozer steadily guarded the backcourt rebound and handed it to Ye Feng to advance.
Playing offensive and defensive transitions, non-existent.
While the Heat do not have an advantage in height, they are very fast, and rarely let opponents catch the loopholes in offensive and defensive transitions.
In addition, the defense of the three people on the outside is good, and the sense of pressure is great, and the opponent's fast attack can be destroyed in an instant.
The moment Ye Feng caught the ball, Wade was entangled, not giving Ye Feng a chance to accelerate directly.
There was no way, Ye Feng could only advance slowly.
There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world, knights have a height advantage, so don't think about having a speed advantage, Ye Feng is also acceptable.
The Cavaliers attacked, still playing with the ball in Big Z, showing their advantages.
Big Z isn't particularly strong, but at least he's an All-Star level center.
encountered these "short" insiders of the Heat team, and set him off to be extraordinarily "tall".
Big Z leaned his back to Odom and didn't exert any force, just simply shook from side to side, and then suddenly hooked his hand sideways, and easily threw the ball into the basket.
4:0。
The situation of the Cavaliers is very good, whether it is offensive or defensive, they have overwhelmed the Heat.
"Seriously, the Cavaliers are better than the Heat."
On-site commentary.
The Heat has three cores, the outside line is slightly stronger, and the inside line is weaker.
From the outside, Wade averaged 16.2 points, 4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.
Eddie Jones averaged 17.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks per game.
There is only one Odom on the inside, averaging 17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.
And the knight has four cores, balanced inside and out.
From the outside, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game.
Ye Feng averaged 18.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.
Inside, Boozer averaged 15.1 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 0.7 blocks per game.
Ilgoskas averaged 15 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
The numbers don't tell the whole story, but they tell a lot about it.
The Heat can still compete with the Cavaliers on the outside, but they are too far behind on the inside.
"Strangely, though, tactically, Paul seems to have completely suppressed Pat Riley."
"I'm not saying Paul is bad, but it shouldn't be at Pat Riley's level!"
Another commentator said.
The Heat's nominal coach is "Big Van Stein" Van Gundy, but fans know that the person who really controls this team is Pat Riley.
Da Fan is just a puppet in Riley's hands, how dare a first-season coach not listen to Riley?
On the side of the Heat bench, Pat Riley sat on the side, without any anxiety and dissatisfaction on his face, as if the scene was dominated by the Heat.
This scene made many Cavaliers fans uneasy.
Pat Riley, no matter what his character is, but his ability is definitely at the level of a famous handsome, and it is impossible for Paul to be suppressed to this extent.
