"Anthony. Davis shot high up the left and faced Haslem's defense...... In You Face！！！ Drexler watched as 'Thick Eyebrows' hit an easy jumper from the high post against Haslem's defense, "The Heat captain's defense was completely ignored by Davis!" ”

With this goal, the Pelicans already have a 12-point lead over the Heat on the road! There are about 5 minutes left until half-time! "Bill. Wharton's brow furrowed as he was unhappy with the Miami's performance on both ends of the floor, "I think it's time for Coach Spoelstra to call a timeout, his team is still in the midst of the tactical chaos of Bosh's absence...... The offense is much tougher than the opponent. ”

The old man's words were immediately fulfilled, and Spoelstra, who had been watching the field with his arms folded, asked the referee for a timeout. With a serious expression, he beckoned his players to gather and took the tactics board from the assistant coach.

The root of the problem is Bosh's absence, which everyone can see. Defensively, the only team can keep up with Anthony. The only thing Davis has speed and interferes with his offense is Bosh, and on the offensive end, everyone should know what it means to be missing the team's leading scorer.

And through Spoelstra's observation, the player on the current Heat team who is the least suitable for Bosh's absence is actually Addison.

That's the biggest problem, Addison is the heart of the team, and with Bosh not on the court, he has lost the right person to play pick-and-roll. And Haslem has cooperated with Addison too little before, the tacit understanding between the two is not high, and Haslem's offensive flexibility is much worse than Bosh, especially the stability of high-post projection.

Without a sharp pick-and-roll, the Heat seem to have dulled their offense a lot, even their outside shooting and air cutting have become less efficient, and even the players' running and Addison's shots are not as precise and accurate as they used to be.

Speaking of which, the Heat did their best on the defensive end in this game, except for Haslem who was killed by Anthony Brown. In addition to Davis's explosion, several players on the outside are still good at marking. The Pelicans were defeated by Zhu. Holiday was injured, so he fielded a starting lineup without a point guard. Gordon, Tyrick. Evans and Quincy. Ponteside is on the outside.

Eric. Although Gordon's weight is much heavier than Addison's, his speed and explosiveness are even better than those of a Chinese point guard, and Gordon is not good at back-to-back offense, Addison can still limit him. Gordon has only shot 2-of-6 so far and has not played the role of the first point of fire from the outside.

Tyrik. Evans and Quincy. Ponteside was also replaced by Wade and Ruhr. Deng was confined to a manageable range and did not cause much damage. Only Anthony. Davis exploded wildly, using his physical fitness and excellent offensive skills to bully the aging Haslem to the fullest, and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in less than 20 minutes.

This is still the lethality caused by Whiteside being in the box and Davis not daring to easily get to the basket...... In short, Haslem's defense of Davis in the first half was a complete failure, and it was also an important reason why the Heat trailed by more than 10 points.

Spoelstra replaced Haslem and certainly couldn't let the veteran continue to defend Anthony. Davis. But the head coach will never let Whiteside raise the restricted area to mark the 'thick eyebrows', which is tantamount to giving up his greatest role and putting the Heat in a weak state under the basket.

With all the players on the team in mind, Spoelstra decided to move James. Ennis came on the pitch and then put Ruhr. Deng pushed up to the number four position and let the British use his agility and long hands and feet to pester Anthony. Davis. This is where he came from the Spurs against Chris. Bosh's strategy was inspired, and although Davies's offensive ability with the ball was significantly stronger than that of Bosh now, Spoelstra didn't count on Ruhr either. Deng was able to completely restrain the opponent, and he just needed to keep Davis from being as unstoppable as before.

"Add, get used to the situation as soon as possible, okay?" For Addison, Spoelstra can't ask for anything, he can only hope that the Chinese point guard will adapt to the absence of Bosh as soon as possible, and dispatch the best state of the team's offense as soon as possible, "The team needs your offense, your organization, everything you can do ......"

Addison nodded to the head coach and wiped the sweat from his head with a towel. The continuous dissonance with Haslem almost aroused the anger in his heart. After a long time with an inside partner like Bosh who is very good at blocking and scoring, Addison's requirements for an inside partner have unconsciously increased, so that he has just looked worse and worse on the court.

Sitting back on the bench, Addison felt much more sober, a little surprised that he had almost lost control of his emotions on the field just now. His gaze swept over the Pelicans' bench on the other end, and then at his teammates who had been reassigned to the court by the head coach, and he had some plans in mind.

He needs to admit that no matter how effective Bosh's treatment is, this season's regular season 'Dragon King' will not be able to catch up. He needs to change his passing habits in a timely manner, even if it is for his stats not to slip due to the absence of his teammates.

***

After returning to the court, Addison first handed the ball to Wade, then ran empty-handed and switched positions with the 'Flash' to the left wing of the three-point line. Wade immediately passed the ball back, and Addison slowly dribbled the ball while watching the opponent's movement in the box from the side.

Whiteside, who was in the paint area, quickly ran over and blocked Eric. To Gordon's left, Addison quickly moved with the ball in a direction that was deflected towards the top of the arc, accelerating towards the free-throw line area.

Previously, due to Haslem's poor shooting percentage in the high post, Anthony Brown. Davis often lets go of him and lifts him up to defend pick-and-rolls. But now his counterpoint has been replaced by Ruhr. Deng, Davis did not dare to let go of this Englishman who was very good at empty projection, and could only be made by Omil. Asik proposed a penalty area for a block.

Addison, who moved to the free throw line, pulled the ball up with his right hand and tried to break through Asik's defense, but Gordon, who was free from the block, immediately pounced on him from the flank.

The Chinese point guard's right-hand movement changed from pulling up quickly to pushing out, and the basketball crossed the rushing Eric in a high arc. Gordon, coming to Whiteside, who cut in from the side. The Heat center slapped the ball hard, took two steps into the basket, squeezed Asik with one side of his body to the three-second zone, and put the basketball into the basket with his left hand in a motion that seemed to be a hook and a throw!

"Finally let me see the smooth pick-and-roll coordination! I was on the verge of suffocating to death with Addison and Haslem's pick-and-rolls...... Whiteside played well and had a good balance against them. "Bill. Wharton nodded in satisfaction, hoping that the Heat could get the offense back on track with this timeout.

"Addison intends to replace the interior executor of the pick-and-roll with Hassan. Whiteside? While the young center has proven his energy on the defensive end, we don't yet know what his offensive prowess will be. Drexler said with some skepticism that he really didn't know how far Whiteside could go on the offensive end.

But Addison knew, even more than the team's uniform crew......

He knows that Whiteside has a lot of offensive potential, and he is very different from those players who enter the league and are destined to be defensive centers. As can be seen from the ball just now, Whiteside's hand to attack the basket in the confrontation is much softer than that of most blue-collar workers, and he scored with a non-dominant hand on that ball. On weekdays, Whiteside would occasionally show off a low-post single or half-volley jumper during training, and Addison was surprised by the level of his performance. Although it is not yet up to the level of those excellent offensive interior players, Addison is really amazed that Whiteside can have a whole set of high-low offensive offensive capabilities in a state like Whiteside, who has not experienced much offensive training before joining the Heat.

He has a certain accuracy in the box with small hooks and high shots, but he has not used them much due to his lack of confidence in the game and the opponent's high-intensity defense.

But now he's going to explode his offensive ability in the game anyway, and Addison must create an interior player who can play with him and have some self-offensive ability after Bosh's injury, and Whiteside is the most suitable person.

Turn around Anthony. Davis suffered the hardest defence since the opening kick-off, even when he ran without the ball. Deng Du followed him closely, constantly exerting entanglement pressure, making it difficult for his teammates to pass the ball. The frustrated 'Thick Eyebrow' came to the right low post and struggled to put Ruhr. Dunka was behind him, took the pass and immediately turned his back to single.

and his development template Kevin. Garnett is a lot like, Anthony. Davis' back-to-back offense usually ends with a turnaround jumper, and this one was no exception. He has a wide range of shots, squeezing his back and jumping up immediately, holding up the basketball with his slender arms and gently flicking it out.

This trick has been tried many times against the 203-centimeter Haslem before, but this time I don't know if it's Ruhr. Deng interfered well, but Davis himself deviated from the crosshairs, and the basketball he threw bounced off the basket.

Whiteside was keenly grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly handed the ball to Addison. The Pelicans' timely return defense prevented the Miamis from playing a counter-attacking fast break, and Addison didn't look for cover after coming to the frontcourt with the ball, but pointed to the Whiteside derby with a gesture.

The Heat center hesitated slightly, but his absolute trust in Addison made him obey the other party's orders. Whiteside moved slightly to the left edge of the penalty area and rolled over sharply to jam Asik behind him!

The basketball that was hoisted in was not hindered in any way and fell into the hands of Whiteside. After passing the ball, Addison ran to the other side of the three-point line with Gordon, trying to keep the opponent away from Whiteside, who was holding the ball.

His meaning is already clear, that is, to let the Heat center single Omir. Asik.
