Chapter 175: Targeted Tactics
Jazz was reluctant to think about it, but so what.
At the beginning of the game, they were crushed by the Heat, and it was difficult for the young core Hayward to even have a chance to shoot.
It wasn't until the rotation period that the Heat's roster got older that they showed some improvement.
The bench lineup is indeed stronger for the Jazz, but this is at the expense of the strength of the main lineup, and their main lineup is too far from the Heat.
In the third quarter, the Heat made great efforts to widen the gap, and the last quarter became a place for training.
The Heat rarely let all the players take turns to play, and they all refreshed their muscles.
If there is no suspense in the game, it will not attract much attention, and the next battle in the east is the key.
The Heat are also very serious in training, and the last game has shown that the Pacers will be their true competitors and that they will cherish every encounter with each other.
The Pacers' means, one is defense, and the other is the interior.
The battle on the outside can only be a needle-to-needle battle, but there is a way to deal with the inside.
Especially Hibbert, a big threat, this guy doesn't move fast and has a chance to get him into a foul trap.
However, this method is also a double-edged sword, if you fail to make a foul, it is likely to be a hat mistake and then the opponent takes the opportunity to open the score.
It can't be too deliberate, and it needs players like James and Wade.
In other words, the Heat are one of the most likely teams in the league to succeed in using foul making, and they are better suited to teams with strong interior lines without their risk.
The Heat don't have a strong interior line, so they need to choose whether to take risks or not.
There is still a lot of attention from the outside world, but the Heat's players, including Zhang Xiaotian, are already very suitable for this situation.
The scolding between his fans and Woolley's side has escalated, and in addition to their mutual contempt, there is also a crooked topic, that is, whether Zhang Xiaotian's importance in the Heat can make the name of the Big Three become F4.
Except for Zhang Xiaotian's iron fans, probably no one would think that Zhang Xiaotian had reached this height.
However, there are differences in the strength of the Big Three themselves, Zhang Xiaotian's ability to turn the tide at critical moments, even if the data is a little worse and the annual salary is a little less, the importance is beyond doubt.
It's just that the Heat are a championship contender, and it's too early to say anything.
The Heat can defeat the Pacers in the last game, which can be said to be related to Zhang Xiaotian's variable.
In this game, the Pacers will also target him, at least not give him a chance to shoot a cold arrow.
If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short, and in the American Airlines arena, Bosh won the jump ball and hit it first.
No one wants to be despised, as the team's internal barrier, the head coach Spoelstra scolded and scolded, coaxed and coaxed, and Bosh also had to show the temper of a giant.
In this game, the Heat started with a contraction of defense, and although it gave the Pacers a lot of opportunities on the outside, Hibbert was targeted.
David West's offensive methods are not very easy to lock, but David West's style of play is not so murderous, and Hibbert's upheaval on the interior really has too much impact on the Heat.
On the defensive end, the pinch shot, and on the offensive end, it is to use speed to impact the inside.
Wade paid the price of being capped, but with home-court advantage, the Heat's results were still obvious.
Hibbert received a second foul and went off the court early, which was a victory for the Heat.
Home advantage is a big concept, less tired, more physical, more familiar with the field, can be blown or not blown ball has some advantages, and there are psychological hints.
In fact, some things are deliberately stirred up by the league to stir up the atmosphere, adding some dramatic conflicts in order to attract more attention from fans.
For the development of the alliance, many senior managers are also heartbroken.
Hibbert went down to rest, but the Heat also paid a lot of costs, most notably that they were behind on the scoreline, and the tactics against the interior allowed Paul George and Lance Stephenson to get a lot of good shots.
There are pros and cons to any tactic, and the Heat can't just get the benefits.
But when the pressure on the interior is reduced, at least the rebounds won't be so embarrassing.
It's just that this benefit can't be immediate, and it may seem like a loss to make the opponent shoot two more three-pointers and make up a few rebounds.
But when it comes to crunch time, the Pacers could have big problems when the inside advantage wanes.
This is to bury hidden dangers for the other party, and how many opportunities can be seized depends on their respective abilities.
At halftime, the Pacers were in the lead, but the Heat's tactics wouldn't change.
If this time changes, the efforts of the first half will be in vain, and besides, losing to the opponent in the regular season is really nothing, and finding the most effective way to deal with the Pacers is the key.
Although the situation of the strong players in the playoffs will be very different from the regular season, the basic situation is still the same, and the limited few temptations in the season must be taken advantage of.
Relatively speaking, the Pacers' core players like Paul George have played at playoff level.
In this case, Zhang Xiaotian was also taken care of, and the performance in the first half also made Kuroko excited.
In the third quarter, the Heat's tactics against Hibbert were more successful.
Bosh's rare strong attack made Hibbert receive his fifth foul early and had no choice but to end the game.
In fact, Bosh's offensive means are really good, but he lacks some domineering.
This is related to personality and style of play, and the real giant's position in the team can only be ranked third, that's it.
After Hibbert left early, the Heat stepped up their defense on the outside, and the Pacers' offense was in trouble all of a sudden.
Except for Paul George and David West, who can play individually, everyone else has taken a break.
That's when the difference between Lance Stephenson and the key players becomes apparent, and he's not the kind of player who can break the deadlock.
The opponent's offense is in trouble, but the Heat's offense is impressive.
Can the outside line alone lock their outside line, the answer is no.
Without the inside defense, James can't stop it at all, he can rush inside without any scruples, and he can drive the team's outside projection, and the Pacers' defense is not chaotic.
That's the power of the top All-Star level players, and single defense doesn't work at all.
Even if it works, after a cover, defense in the NBA still depends on the system, and the combination of strong individual ability and system is the guarantee of victory.
The score was shortened in the third quarter, and Zhang Xiaotian, who was a little silent at the beginning of the fourth quarter, suddenly hit two consecutive shots to help the team overtake the score.
The Pacers could only take the risk of letting Hibbert play, but Hibbert, who had five fouls, was too timid to threaten the Heat.
Paul George and David West are still doing well.
It's just fighting to attack, how can they fight too hard against the Big Three of the Heat and Zhang Xiaotian, who has activated his skills.
