Chapter 149: Who to Choose at a Critical Moment
Pierce stepped forward tentatively, stepped back and pulled up after body contact, and hit a mid-range shot.
After killing the inside line twice, Pierce became a little excited, and this match was his first single Zhang Xiaotian success, without cover, just like he was in his prime.
Then he shouted at Zhang Xiaotian: "Little guy, I can beat you at any time, you have to learn to respect your predecessors." ”
Zhang Xiaotian responded without thinking, "Yes, old man, I am respecting the old now, I haven't made any effort at all, you will know that you can't keep up with the footsteps of young people, it's better to take care of the elderly." ”
He'd long since discovered that the toughness of his skills was good for trash talk, and now he was getting more and more comfortable with incorporating this part into provoking opponents.
"Also, old man, if you are not afraid, we will fight on the field, everyone is not called cover, whoever doesn't come is a soft egg."
Pierce didn't expect Zhang Xiaotian to be quite able to squirt, and suddenly spit out words starting with F in his mouth, "Boy, you'll be crying soon." ”
Everyone plays a small lineup, which is actually more tiring than everyone standing in a regular lineup.
The star effect is about the same for the time being, and the Nets are still strong inside.
There is no need to play with zero defense like Brach, because it is difficult to play, but on the offensive end, the Nets still have more options than the Heat.
If the Heat don't follow the usual path, they will definitely have to pay the price.
What should they do after Ray Allen and other shooters are targeted, the answer has long been in tactics, that is, the unreasonable scoring of James, Wade and other main heads.
When they failed, the Heat fell behind by double digits in the same way that Lopez was alive in the first quarter.
Zhang Xiaotian was replaced, and the Heat now need a pure shooter.
At the end of the third quarter, James rested for two minutes and began to fight hard when he came back on the court.
He was still a little hesitant between the rush and the shot before, and seeing that the team was about to finish playing, James rushed inside, anyway, everyone didn't have an inside line.
Now standing in front of him is the former defensive ruthless character Kirilenko, but now Kirilenko's defensive awareness is still there, and he can also grab rebounds in the front court, but his feet are too slow, even if he has long arms, he can't limit James.
James scored easily, and then Wade went inside to draw a foul on Kirilenko.
The two teams play this way, and the fouls are so bad that people can't use it at all.
On the Heat side, Chris Anderson also quickly made five fouls, and he did so for a while.
The Nets couldn't help but replace Lopez when they saw the Heat chasing points, but the big brother didn't hold up for even a minute when he came up, and he was brought down again.
Against James and Wade, a little slower would be deadly.
The Nets can only use Bracy with peace of mind, this big brother will never try to block when he sees the Heat players rushing in, and there is no danger of fouling at all.
After Chris Anderson was beaten, Bosh came on the court, and Zhang Xiaotian was also substituted.
At this time, just after more than three minutes in the final quarter, James and Wade played with the bench to have an effect, but the effect was not great, and Spoelstra simply changed to the strongest lineup in advance.
On the Nets' side, in addition to the substitutions caused by foul problems, they are still in the normal rotation.
Zhang Xiaotian faces Alan Anderson, a physical swingman who works hard both offensively and defensively, and has played in Europe and across the ocean.
He didn't stay in the league all the time, mainly because there were times when he had problems with his choices on the court, and to put it bluntly, it was a ball quotient.
Zhang Xiaotian made a breakthrough posture after receiving the ball, and then pulled it up and hit it directly.
Obviously, Alan Anderson is not tall enough in the No. 3 position, and his arms are not good enough, and if he is not good at anticipation, he will not be able to have muscles.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Nets made a bold challenge, that is, the roster suddenly became smaller than the Heat, and Pierce was also put on the No. 4 position.
The interior became Pierce, who couldn't jump, and Blach, who was defensive hole, and they probably thought Pierce would be able to stop James from rushing inside.
However, there is no need for James to rush inside, Zhang Xiaotian can break this lineup.
After Zhang Xiaotian hit the inside twice to score points, the Nets finally realized that it was not cost-effective for Brach to put it inside, and Garnett, who had already committed four fouls, went on the court to the center position.
How to put it, Garnett's offense is almost useless now, but with his height, reach, and awareness, he is still much better than Bracky on the inside.
But it was only second, James hit Pierce in the low post and then assisted Ray Allen for a three-point shot.
This is the first three-pointer that Ray Allen hits, which is of great significance, he can score a three-pointer, and when James, Wade and Zhang Xiaotian kill inside, the Nets will be afraid to help defense.
Seeing that the score was about to tie, the Nets also quickly paused and replaced the final lineup, and compared with the starting lineup, there was one less Lopez with five fouls.
The timeout worked, as Joe Johnson hit two three-pointers to widen the gap to 10 points.
Joe Johnson is the best three-point player among the Nets, and he can only be said to live up to his name.
'There's still time, we just need to defend them three or four times and then take the attack and we'll be able to win the game and I'm sure you're better than them.'
At the timeout, the tactics that should have been said had already been said, and Spoelstra only highlighted a wave of situations.
After James scored 4 points in a row after coming on the court again, Zhang Xiaotian has been trying to run hard, and by the way, Alan Anderson has not even had a chance to shoot.
Now the key is time, it is the last three minutes, a difference of 6 points, they have to do better offensively and defensively than the opponent.
After the Nets went without scoring for a few rounds, Deron Williams singled out for a foul on Moneymoss.
Spoelstra thought about it for a moment and replaced him with Ray Allen, who had just gone down.
Chanmos's face darkened, and he returned to the bench looking very unhappy.
In fact, in terms of efficiency, he did not lose to Delong, and he was not convinced by letting him go down at critical moments.
Spoelstra could only pretend not to see it, if he had been before, he would definitely not have replaced Qian Moss, but after Zhang Xiaotian came, with the personnel neat, he was a little worried about which five people to use at the last moment.
In addition to the Big Three, there are Zhang Xiaotian, Ray Allen and Chanmoth, Zhang Xiaotian can hold the ball and have a big heart, and the other two can catch and shoot without possessing the ball, and their hearts are not small.
He needs to settle down early, otherwise the team may be at odds.
And the best reason is undoubtedly that the team has gotten better.
Whether Zhang Xiaotian can make the team better at a critical moment is what Zhang Xiaotian wants to tell everyone.
After running a big lap, he finally received a pass from James, he didn't choose to catch the ball and shoot, Spoelstra's heart tightened, but the next moment, he turned excited.
