Chapter 163: The Difference Between Strength and Weakness
The No. 1 spot is a pain in the heat for both the Chanmos and Norris Kerr teams.
MoneyMos should be thankful to Norris Kerr, this guy is very the court, but he really doesn't play as a starter, so the team will continue to use him.
As for the inside line, Bosh is at least one of the Big Three, and sometimes there are tactical reasons for the collapse of the inside line.
The Suns lost by only three points in the first half when the three-point system was very average, and the Heat limited their No. 1 spot too little.
The Heat are also well aware of their problems, although the organization can allow James and Wade to come, but the No. 1 position must be put alone, and it is a pity that the team that has paid a lot of luxury tax has not enough people to play.
The Suns started the second half well, but their lineup with Dragic at the core had a big problem, that is, they didn't have the characters who could open up the situation forcefully when they were on the ground.
On the Heat's side, James went in and out, and let PJ Tucker foul three times.
After the Suns' defensive attention was forcibly attracted, Zhang Xiaotian and Ray Allen and Battier, who played in the rotation, both scored three points.
The score was gradually pulled apart, hovering around 10 points.
The Suns look like they're going back and forth with the Heat, but their defensive weakness shows no signs of coming back.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, first Zhang Xiaotian's face scored, and then Ray Allen made two three-pointers, and the Suns collapsed.
In the end, the Heat played very easily in this quarter, Wade and Zhang Xiaotian led the team for half a quarter, James and Bosh led the team for half a quarter, and won the Suns without blood.
Zhang Xiaotian had 15 points and 6 rebounds, and his performance was very stable.
Fourteen consecutive wins, one more win can tie the record, and there are no ruthless characters in the next few games.
Predictions are already underway that the Heat could set a new opening streak.
They will next travel on the road, and their first opponent will be the Cavaliers.
Cavaliers player Dion Waiters said in a high-profile interview with reporters, "They won't succeed because I won't allow it, I don't care if they're the best team in the league, this is my home court." ”
"Zhang Xiaotian, no, no, no, I'm focusing on James and Wade, and I'm looking forward to playing against them."
The Cavaliers have struggled since James left, and every time James comes back, it raises some buzz.
Now is the time when the Heat are ready to set a record, and reporters like to have someone say harsh things.
The Cavaliers have also worked hard in the summer, bringing in former All-Star Andrew Bynum and using the No. 1 pick to select forward Anthony Bennett.
However, their current situation is a little bad, Bynum does not have the same means as he used to be because of injury, and the champion is also showing signs of unadaptability.
And Dieng Vitesse, although his strength is good, has a somewhat conflicting style of play with Irving, who they focus on developing.
After the duo didn't start well, the team put Dion Vitesse on the bench.
However, this did not affect Vitesse's self-confidence, and he firmly believed that he was the best player in the team.
Even if he plays off the bench, he can prevent the Heat, who have the league's best record, from winning at the Quickloan Arena.
The so-called honey confidence is like this, but this one still has strength, and the Heat really have to be careful, most of the players who are confident in honey are nerve knives, and they can't let them play smoothly.
Zhang Xiaotian don't worry, a good-looking person like James will definitely organize the team well when he goes to his old club, as for the guy Vites, Zhang Xiaotian doesn't want to respond at all, they are still teammates in the rookie game.
At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers took the lead in attacking inside, and although Bynum was not as good as before, the offensive methods were still relatively familiar.
The point is that Bosh is in a bit of a bad state during this time, and maybe his mood is also one thing.
The Heat have been on a winning streak, but Bosh hasn't received much praise.
Because of the change of formation, Bosh often has to go to the inside line and fight with black and hard.
It's not something he likes, in essence he's still a power forward, and it was a bit more pleasant to have Haslem do foul language Bosh before, and now playing center takes a lot of time on him.
Of course, now that Haslem has a situation, it's not just a matter of playing style.
Coupled with the fact that it hasn't been long since the start of the season, it's normal that you haven't adapted yet.
So although the team is on a winning streak, not everyone is so happy.
Now facing the interior playmaking of Cavaliers Bynum and Tristan Thompson, the Heat rebounds are frequently missing.
However, the opponent's offensive efficiency was really average, and they had to start adjusting very early.
To be honest, except for Irving, who is absolutely strong, the Cavaliers' starters are not much better than the bench.
Needless to say, Waiters was on their bench, with Jarrett Jack, Vallejo and others also being experienced.
So after entering the rotation period, the Cavaliers are much more fluent in offense.
The two sides once played very tangled, and the Heat bench was basically an old lady, and it was stable at the critical moment, but it was generally not as impactful as the young people.
Vitesse is also worthy of the pre-match boast, and the attack is frequently successful.
But there's a problem, his offense is a bit out of the same frequency as the team, and when he scores points, the inside advantage is gone.
By the time the main players of both sides came on the court and the Heat strengthened their defense, the Cavaliers' offense was a little troublesome.
Because they don't play fastball, they fall to the ground and hit the ball one by one, and the Heat's defense on the outside is among the best in the league.
In terms of the interior line, the Heat also have a way to deal with it after adapting to it, because the Cavaliers' interior line is not the top after all.
The most important thing is that Irving is a bit iron, and he can't play this advantage point, and it is basically impossible for the Cavaliers to stop the Heat's progress.
Their offense is blocked, but the Heat won't stop waiting, and James and Wade are both types who can tear apart each other's defenses.
Sometimes a player's ability seems to be just a little bit stronger, but just a little bit can make a whole difference.
In the final moments of the first half, Zhang Xiaotian ignored the defense and hit a three-pointer, allowing the team to enter the break with a 10-point lead.
At the start of the second half, James continued to exert his power.
Seeing the score gap widening, Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown couldn't sit still at all, and adjusted the lineup in three minutes, replacing several players with the most attacking power to give it a go.
How to say it, the score gap did not continue to increase, but the Cavaliers wanted to get it back, but they couldn't see the slightest possibility.
They have some problems with their lineup, and all the players who can score need to be on the ball.
Owen, Vitesse, Jack, and all of them are average organizational types.
It stands to reason that the Heat also have this kind of trouble, but James and Wade are more organized, defensively stronger, and stronger, and this gap distinguishes between strong and weak teams.
