Chapter 213: How to Defeat the Heat

Hinrich missed a three-point shot, and the Heat launched a counterattack with a rebound.

Zhang Xiaotian seized the opportunity and shook Gibson's center of gravity unsteadily with consecutive cross-dribbles, hitting two points again.

The Bulls were forced to take a timeout, and after the timeout, they managed to hit two more inside shots.

But Wade, who has been low-key for a long time on the Heat's side, also caused the opponent to foul and hit both free throws after a successful steal, and the Heat still led by 5 points, but the time was already in the last minute.

The Heat also switched to a double-interior defensive lineup, no longer giving the Bulls a chance to play directly inside.

Hinrich withstood the pressure at the critical moment and hit the outside, but then Zhang Xiaotian returned the color.

20 seconds, 5 points apart, the Bulls substitution tried a three-point tactic, and the game had no point in continuing after missing.

Zhang Xiaotian's score in this battle is still not as good as that of the Big Three, but ambitious strong teams have seen his value, if the playoffs are going to shake the Heat, Zhang Xiaotian is the threshold they can't bypass.

The ability to score at key moments is simply the best role player.

The Heat originally had a big three, if it weren't for the fact that the style of play didn't take into account the inside, plus Wade's decline due to injury, other teams could have no chance.

But when other teams saw the opportunity, Zhang Xiaotian plugged the Heat's loophole again.

For a while, the coaching staff of each team was analyzing the way to defeat the Heat.

It's been thinking about this for most of the season, but as the playoffs get closer, it's getting more and more imminent.

Attacking instead of defending, attacking its weaknesses, the first three quarters can be successful, but the fourth energy saving can not be stepped up.

This problem is actually quite unsolvable, there are more internal constraints at critical moments, it is necessary to have a strong outside point of possession, and it is best to have the ability to ignore all defenses, but this has nothing to do with tactics.

If you can't attack and win the Heat defensively, then you must have a master of co-defense, a master of single defense, and a good team defense.

The Spurs and Bulls have set an example, which can only be sighed for teams without goods, and it is very valuable for strong teams.

If you have both offense and defense, it's the battle in front of the Spurs.

The Spurs' All-Star caliber roster has faded from its halo, and it seems that they can do what most teams in the league can do, but it is extremely difficult to do it.

The Heat's coaching staff is also working overtime, and everyone is thinking about playoff tactics.

After beating the Bulls, the Heat had to fly to Washington again to play back-to-back.

The Wizards have risen this season, and it's a bit difficult to play.

In fact, they also initially have the configuration to kill the Heat, the interior line that can help defend, and the interior line that can also attack, Gortat and Nene are also small twin tower levels, and the outside line has defensive master Ariza, as well as offensive masters Wall and Beal.

Just looking at the configuration, they seem to be stronger than the Spurs, except for the slightly younger core players.

But judging from the record, it is clear that their core players are not as strong as the Big Three, and they do not have the team ability of the Spurs, so they are not stable enough.

Take out the Heat, they have a chance, but in the playoffs, they are a little more likely to lose.

The Heat are back-to-back on the road, and the Wizards still have a lot of hope of defending their home court.

At the beginning of the game, the Wizards were rebounding pressing.

However, their attack was launched from the outside, and it was also because of the injury of Nene and did not play.

Gortat grabbed 10 rebounds in the first quarter, making Bosh doubt his life.

They did everything well, and Wall and Beal showed attacking power as well.

But what they didn't expect was that they held on to James' breakaway, and James hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

There's really no way to do this kind of thing, it's obviously a textbook-like defense, and James' shooting weaknesses are gone, so it's really impossible to defend.

On the pitch, there is also a bit of luck, although luck is based on strength.

That is, there are seven games to be played in each round of the playoffs, otherwise there will be no fewer upsets like the World Cup.

In the second quarter, James's hand was back to normal, and although he shot two points well, the Wizards were satisfied with the three-point shot in the first quarter.

Losing by only 2 points at halftime, rebounding, doing well on both the offensive and defensive ends, and the rotation players seized their chances, they just needed to work harder to win the game.

With this kind of thinking, most of them have to be sad, the second half of the force, is the patent of the strong team, to beat the strong with the weak, you must seize the opportunity before the strong team strength, the Wizards have done a good job in all aspects, it is too decent.

Unless it's time to fight for the stars, they can do better than James.

As soon as the second half began, the Heat raised the defensive level.

After halftime, the athlete's body tends to be in a state of not being tense enough.

Increase the strength, you can kill the opponent by surprise.

The Wizards made a series of mistakes, but they forced them to adjust.

The way to do this is to attack the inside, and Gortat has done it, and Bosh playing the No. 5 position will indeed make some quasi-first-class insiders play first-class standards.

And when James tried to shoot from the outside again, he found that the feeling was no longer there.

If you are not good at it, you are not good at it, if it can be easily solved, with James's training efforts, it will be solved a long time ago.

However, James's ball quotient is very high, and he is not reluctant to feel it when he finds it, and then he focuses on organizing and impacting the inside.

When it came to the rotation period, James's shortcomings of bad hand were magnified.

The Wizards' bench players Drew Gooden and Martell Webster both played well, while the Heat's shooter group played mediocre.

This has happened a number of times this season, and it seems that the shooter doesn't need to be too physical, and it doesn't matter if he's older, but it's not so easy to find a shot in a high-intensity game.

The Heat's shooter group is so old that they all need James to feed the ball, and it's easier to be targeted.

In the final minute of the third quarter, Wizards veteran Al Harington hit a three-pointer to put the two sides on the same starting line.

Increase strength, increase speed, and the wizards have caught it.

Then, the winner can only be decided in the final quarter, and both sides are full of confidence.

Many teams have studied Zhang Xiaotian, but they have only seen the surface.

Nice role player, the best addition outside of the Big Three, big heart player.

But what his real strength is, it is basically difficult for the team to know, and everyone's definition is a great role player, or the level of the team's three leaders.

It's not wrong, Zhang Xiaotian's strength is indeed like this, the general team is the third, and the Heat is the fourth.

But his strength is uneven, when he doesn't turn on his skills, the team generally starts, and when he opens his skills, he is a quasi-all-star or all-star, and the sum of them is everyone's judgment.

Well, it's not okay to defend without focus.
