Chapter 66: Strike the Whirlwind
"Let's play the No. 1 tactic!" Spoelstra glanced at the players around him and said with a grim expression, "No matter how the next offensive rounds are obtained, as long as the ball is in our hands, then run for me!" ”
"Chris, cheer up! Neither of the two inside lines on the other side can move faster than you! Use your flexibility to crush them! The Filipino stared into Bosh's eyes and he needed the tall, lanky interior to pour out all his firepower instead of cowering at the opposition's defense.
Spoelstra's offensive line on the tactical board is centered around Addison, which is much simpler and much more open than before.
"Intensify your running! I'd like to see our projections and cuts work! If you can't attack in the face of the opponent's overall defense, I suggest you disband and take a vacation here! You simply don't have what it takes to make the playoffs! ”
It was the first time Addison had seen a hint of anger in the tone of the well-mannered head coach, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Dwyane beside him. Wade. 'The Flash' pouted noncommittally to the boy, saying he was used to seeing the shrewd Filipino spur players in a different tone.
Back on the court, Addison took the serve and changed his previous steady style, slammed the ball hard, and began to accelerate from the backcourt. The Heat all picked up their speed and fanned down to the opposing half. Yes, the so-called 'No. 1 tactic' is not mysterious at all, it is run and bomb.
Bosh didn't go deep into the box after halftime, but made a cover for Addison in front of the three-point line, and the Chinese boy in the high-speed sprint used this cover to get rid of Jeff. Teague.
It's too fast!! While Teague is trying to get rid of Bosh, he worries about his teammates on the inside.
Horford, who was in charge of the blockage, only saw a shadow rushing towards him, and the shadow suddenly paused in front of him, and then rushed past him with a messy direction!!
The Eagles center's turn wasn't done yet, and Addison had already finished the fight with a light pick-and-roll. The Hawks, including Horford, were a little stunned by this, and they hadn't even reacted yet......
“My God! This rookie swept through the Atlanta half like a hurricane!! O'Neill blinked his eyes vigorously and sighed in disbelief, "If this continues, I'm afraid Dwyan's title of 'Flash' will be transferred!! ”
"You're out of shape, Shaq! Look at me and I'm very calm! Barkley, who had seen Addison's speed for a long time, looked calm, "I'll tell you the truth, guys! In terms of speed alone, Addison can at least rank in the top five or even the top three in this league! ”
"That's why Coach Spoelstra let his team start bombing, isn't it?" Kenny. Smith smiled and said, "As we all know, the most important thing you need for a run-and-gun tactic is a point guard who is fast enough and has good passing ability. ”
It's actually starting to run...... Budenholzer on the sidelines frowned, and he couldn't help but admire the Filipino's resilience in his heart. Indeed, the Eagles under his current direction are not good at dealing with run-and-gun tactics.
Slow interior movement is the biggest drawback of the Hawks on the defensive end, especially against opponents like the Heat who can move quickly in all five positions, and once the opponent plays fast and fast, this drawback will be exposed to the greatest extent. Although he was trained by Popovich's Spurs, Budenholzer knew that his team was missing the most important thing — a Tim Holzer. Duncan.
Al. Horford's ability on the defensive end can only be regarded as qualified, and his defensive pillar role and ability to defend the basket in the box are far from being compared to the 'Stone Buddha'. You must know that the San Antonio Spurs once relied on Duncan's excellent ability to defend the box and the tenacious defense on the flank. Nash's run-and-gun Phoenix Suns battled several games and eliminated their opponents.
Although the Miami Heat team has not systematically trained to run and shoot, with Addison's organization and others' good air-cut shooting ability, their fast play tactics are also good. It just happened to choke the Eagles' relatively weakest point.
The Hawks again relied on continuous passing balls to allow Millsap to find an open space in the left mid-range, and the power forward's mid-range shot made it back again.
But the Heat don't care about it at all, Sean. Williams quickly sent the ball to Addison, and the Chinese rookie rushed forward with an instant. Jeff. Teague tried to block Addison's sprint, but the boy suddenly changed direction from behind his back, and an acceleration swept past him.
Addison, who hit the front, still didn't entangle with Severosado, who was making up for the defense, and used Ruhr. Deng's cover shifted to the right, drawing Korver into a lay-up and passing to Wade, who saw the opportunity to cut away. Wade dribbled towards the free-throw line, and despite his mid-range shooting ability, Millsap had to make up for it.
'The Flash' seized the opportunity to transfer the ball to Shaun who was ambushed outside the three-point line on the right. Williams, the Heat's power forward, made a three-pointer before Sefrosa made a stoppage and scored his first score since the opening game.
***
Dwyane throughout the first half of the game. Wade didn't play much of an offensive role with the ball, and the Heat also expressed a calm understanding of this. After all, from the moment the coach decided to run and bang, it meant that the protagonist of the game was Addison.
However, not holding the ball does not mean that Wade's contribution will be less, in the Heat's fast running and running that lasted for half of the court, the 'Flash' has scored 10 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the half with his skillful air cutting skills and Addison's always timely passes.
And under the run-and-gun tactics, it is Sean who benefits the most. Williams, the most underappreciated power forward in the original starting lineup, was full of hands today, hitting 3 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, scoring 12 points in the half. The Miami's fast-hitting tactics make Paul. Millsap was uncomfortable, and his footsteps couldn't keep up with Williams, who was bobbing back and forth on the outside.
But even if the Heat's run-and-gun tactics worked, they still trailed by seven points at halftime, 55-62. Although the Miami people led their own offensive tempo, it did not affect the rhythm of the Hawks. Budenholzer's team is still playing a sharp team on the offensive end, especially on the inside.
Spoelstra did not criticize the team's defense at halftime, and he also knew that it was a luxury to demand that the current roster configuration should be more frequent and maintain a high level of defense at the same time, and the Heat team itself has a roster that is inferior to the opponent.
"Keep our offensive, lads, and don't let yourself go." Spoelstra clapped his hands and encouraged his players, "Andre, come on in the second half to replace Dwyane and play your projection." Dwyan, I need you to build up enough stamina to use in the most critical moments, understand? ”
Wade sat on the side, wiping his sweat and nodding to the manager. The fast but frequent continuous running of the run-and-bomb tactics has made the physical fitness of the Heat team decline faster than before, not to mention that his physical fitness is not particularly abundant after a long period of injury.
The third quarter kicked off with the referee's whistle, and the Hawks' first offense ended with Horford's inside hit missed. Bosh, who was blown up in the low post in the first half, actually defended the ball hard, and pressed the opponent to grab the rebound.
As soon as Addison received the pass, there was a huge boo at Phillips Field, and it intensified.
"Listen! Listen to the shrill boo! It's usually a gift for a superstar! "Barkley's excitement is always different from the average person, and now he is emotional again.
"Atlantans aren't fools, and it seems that they know exactly who is responsible for the Heat's ability to keep the margin within 10 points." O'Neal let out his unique deep laugh from his chest, "In my heart, if it weren't for this Chinese rookie, the Heat's run would not have been able to hit at all." The 8 points and 8 assists stats don't quite show what he contributed to the team in the first half, in fact, I don't think the rookie did any better in the first half than Steve. What Nash did in Phoenix was worse. ”
As he spoke, the Miami's fast break spread again into the Hawks' half, and Addison sprinted beyond the three-point line with the ball to face the Hawks' backup point guard, Dennis Brown. Schroeder.
The young man from Germany is also said to be fast, but Addison didn't bother to play one-on-one with him, and the ball was handed to his left hand and neatly covered by McRoberts to get inside. In the face of Millsap's delayed defense, the boy held back a glance at the basket and chose to hand the ball to Chris, who was brought up. Bosh, then sped away as Millsap turned his head in distraction and skimmed the short inside. Bosh got the ball over again, and Addison made a nimble small throw to the left of the reasonable impact zone that went past Horford's block.
It took less than 15 seconds from Bosh grabbing a defensive rebound to Addison's throws into the net. Budenholzer's face was a little ugly.
The head coach of the Eagles noticed that the rookie seemed to pick up the pace again in the second half and seemed to have stepped up his individual offense, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had underestimated the No. 8 rookie's individual ability before the game.
***
Dennis. Schröder dribbled the ball past half the pitch and the youngster, who came from the German league, had a lot of confidence in himself, especially in terms of speed.
"I heard you're fast, rookie?" Schroder slapped the basketball back and forth in front of the three-point line, his swarthy face sneering at Addison.
Addison ignored his opponent's words, just stared at every movement of his opponent's body with a calm expression. But his silence was misinterpreted by Schroeder as nervousness, which made the German's smile even more obvious.
"Don't be nervous, rookie, do you want to compare speed?"
Nervous? Ratio speed? Addison couldn't help but frown at this, and looked at Schroeder with an idiot's eyes, trying to make sure if this guy's brain was burned out......
"I don't like that look in you, rookie, so I'm going to tear your ......defense apart completely," Schroeder's gaze froze, apparently offended by Addison's look just now.
The Chinese boy had no choice but to curl the corners of his mouth and lower his defensive center of gravity slightly.
- Let's compare it...... I hope you don't feel too sorry for yourself later......
