"We can't give them easy shots and tear up their defense at the same time...... Strong, we need to play to our advantage. ”

Obviously the team's record is good, but Spoelstra is a little worried.

Playing the rebuilding team can't be destroyed and won, which means that the team has problems that have not been solved.

The two sides speed up and bang

So in the second half, Spoelstra wanted James to take the team a little more steady.

The small lineup doesn't need to be blindly fast, the opponent doesn't have a strong star, and the Celtics should be more uncomfortable if they fall into the position.

Celtic weren't very happy with the first half either, mainly defensively.

They made direct personnel changes in the second half, with Gerard Wallace playing the No. 3 position with the main lineup, Jeff Green going to the No. 4 position against James, and Brandon Buss was a fast player on the inside, but it was too hard to keep up with James.

As soon as the lineup changed, the styles of the two sides became closer.

Gerald Wallace is an all-around fighter with great physicality, but that was before.

Some players in the league have degraded quickly for a variety of reasons, and Gerard Wallace is one of them.

He is only 31 years old, and he still has an annual salary of tens of millions, but his strength is far from being at his peak.

The all-around player has degraded miserably, and it doesn't work as well as those players who don't have the same tricks, but Gerard Wallace is experienced defensively and that's why Celtic let him play.

For Zhang Xiaotian, whether it is Jeff Green or Gerard Wallace is similar on the offensive end, but he is now more relaxed defensively.

Of course, the Celtics were there to target James.

It's a shame that the Heat aren't the kind of team that has only one strong point.

The Celtics strengthened their marking of James and even took a pinch shot, and others had opportunities instead, because James also likes to give assists.

Not only Wade and Bosh, Zhang Xiaotian also took advantage of the opportunity to hit an open three-pointer.

In the case of the Heat taking the initiative to slow down, they grinded the ball one by one and forced the score to overtake.

The only trouble is the bench side, especially the interior, the Heat is a team that is used to All-Star level players, and they don't do as well as the Celtics in the use of players.

But in the final quarter, there was no need for them to slow down.

When both sides are speeding up, it is not that the Heat can't do well, but that they have to take into account the physical strength of the main players.

Moreover, during the rotation period, the Celtics had more good interior players, and the Heat and rhythm began in the fourth quarter when James went down to rest.

Wade led the rhythm, and the Heat broke through the ball in succession.

In James' absence, Wade, Zhang Xiaotian and Norris Kerr can actually break through, and the target is not as obvious as James.

And Jeff Green, who returned to the No. 3 position, found that Zhang Xiaotian suddenly became difficult to deal with.

Zhang Xiaotian's breakthrough suddenly made him a little unable to keep up, and Zhang Xiaotian also caused him a lot of trouble on the defensive end.

"How is that possible!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaotian pass him in one step and rush in is a violent buckle, Jeff Green was stunned.

Could it be that James is possessed, originally the team asked him to stagger the time with James, and he used this time to make a wave, but he didn't expect him to even get the small role of the Heat.

The Celtics' current interior personnel, like Salinger and Humphries, still have some offensive ability, and it is a little difficult to protect the penalty area.

James was still resting, and Zhang Xiaotian and others burst the Celtics into a sieve.

It only took two minutes for Celtic to adjust.

But it still didn't work, Zhang Xiaotian continued to score, and then assisted Ray Allen to hit a shot.

After another two minutes, seeing that the score was about to fall behind to double digits, the Celtics could only change the final lineup in advance, and the Heat also let James come back and let Wade rest by the way.

Spoelstra is in a good mood, and if Zhang Xiaotian can continue to play like this, James and Wade will be able to have plenty of rest, and the Heat will be able to maintain their strength throughout the season.

James came up, and Jeff Green followed him to the No. 4 position, but in the face of James, who was rested and broke out with all his strength, Jeff Green's confidence that had just been destroyed was completely out of order.

What's going on, did the Heat play with him before?

He was also a little indignant, seeing that James's side couldn't get the Celtics to suffer, and their guard Avery Bradley stepped up.

The Heat have two weak points, the inside line and the No. 1 position.

Bradley's speed, Chanmos couldn't keep up, but now that the other party's hand suddenly got better, Chanmos's tragedy.

The Heat made a mistake, Bradley scored 5 points alone, and the score was close in an instant.

Spoelstra looked at the time and took a timeout to switch back to Wade.

Someone on the other side felt good, and the Heat made a big move and changed defenses.

There is more than one player above the average level of the Heat's defensive level, James often changes defenses at critical moments, and Wade can too, plus the current Zhang Xiaotian.

If the big man is really helpless, there are people on the outside who are arrogant and the Heat really don't worry.

Ray Allen's defense also held up well, so Moneymos was frustratedly replaced.

After strengthening the defense, James on the offensive end is to pull out and then burst in, playing a small lineup There is only one big man in the penalty area, and James often solves the problem as soon as he accelerates.

It doesn't matter if you want to flank it, Zhang Xiaotian, Ray Allen and Bosh are all waiting outside.

The Celtics played very tenacious, and in the final three minutes of the game, Bradley and Jeff Green both hit three-pointers, closing the gap to within five points on both occasions.

But the Heat will immediately counterattack, and following the Heat to play a small lineup is tantamount to giving up some aspects of their advantages, and at this time Brad Stevens can only sigh that the talent of the players is different.

Especially Zhang Xiaotian, he didn't expect it, it didn't seem to be fully integrated into the Heat's system, but he played well at a critical time.

It is the Celtic who has no special arrangement for him that will cause the current embarrassing situation.

Although Zhang Xiaotian also scored more than ten points, he had this point outside the Big Three, just like Rondo in the year when the Celtics won the championship, which was the last straw that crushed other teams.

At 115:108, the Heat's winning streak continued.

No matter what the process is, the current result is enough to make the outside world exclaim that the wolf is coming.

Of course, the Pacers are also strong.

It's just that the configuration of the Pacers can only be regarded as good, and it is still far from the level of the Big Three.

If the two teams compete, eighty percent of them will be optimistic about the Heat.

Many teams in the league are already studying how to deal with the Heat this season.
