"The essence of a good pick-and-roll offense is the executioner's accurate grasp of the ball or single opportunities, as well as the strength of the interior offensive ability. With-Dream- . "Addison's ability to grasp the ball is no less than that of the top point guards who have been known for a long time, and Bosh's ability to handle the ball has decreased a lot compared to before, but his mobility and scoring instinct are still intact. I remember that the old guy Bill used to say that these two people were like a weakened version of Carl Malone and John Stockton, and they had a very good understanding with each other. ”

** Vicky watched his expression on the court become more and more serious, and he also realized that he still seemed to underestimate the lethality of the Heat's two people, one inside and one outside. Bosh's shooting touch will only get hotter as the number of shots increases, and with the Spurs not being able to keep up with his moving interior, the interior of the Holy City may really be blown up by him.

The 38-year-old Duncan no longer has the ability to block and dismantle all the way to the basket in his youth, and all he can do now is block the basket, so the problem of the Spurs' defensive pick-and-roll in the past two seasons is gradually exploding Bowich looked at James Ennis on the court of the Heat, and then looked at the opponent's bench, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He hurriedly called out to Cowie Leonard, and whispered:

'When you come on, go play as a number four and put Thiem in the centre-forward position. Remember, your job on the defensive end is to keep up with Bosh and wrap up as much as you can, you know? ”

Leonard nodded, he thought for a moment, and asked briefly; "If they play pick-and-roll, should I focus my defense on Bosh or on the Chinese?"

"Go defend Bosh," ** Vic decisively decided, "Thiem is hard to save after a pick-and-roll, you need to do your best to interfere with Bosh." Addison left it up to point guards and Thiem, who wasn't at the level where he could dominate the game with individual scoring. ”

Then Vicky called Tony Parker again and gave him a few words. Parker, who had followed the coach for many years, quickly understood what the head coach meant, and went to the technical desk with Leonard.

"Coach Vicky has changed the main players one after another, and the Spurs' bench lineup did not perform well in the second quarter, and they need the main players to come on the court to change the team's state on both offensive and defensive ends." Kenny Smith reported on the game, "...... Am I mistaken? Leonard's face on the defensive end is ...... Bosh?! ”

"You read that right, Kenny, Leonard is playing at power forward this time." O'Neill raised an eyebrow in novelty, "I smell the smell of conspiracy, guys, I'm afraid that old guy is going to open the eyes of his opponent again." ”

Chris Bosh on the field also looked at Coy Leonard who was following him in surprise, and there was no trace of fluctuation on the other party's calm face, just guarding his every move like a shadow. This not only makes Bosh a little helpless, his mobility ability is definitely the top on the inside, but no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than a small forward with excellent physical fitness...... What's more, Leonard's terrifying arm span can greatly affect his shots, but Bosh has no ability to attack with his back, and his offensive ability with the ball has also been seriously reduced.

Seeing that Bosh continued to run but couldn't shake off Leonard, how could Addison, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, not see the Spurs' strategy at this time? His brow couldn't help frowning slightly, Leonard is indeed the most suitable candidate for defending Bosh in the Spurs team today, and in this game, Lul Deng is absent, and James Ennis, who has no independent offensive ability, only needs Marco Belinelli's defensive restrictions.

** Vicky is pinching the absence of Ruhr Deng, and without the British's skillful off-ball offense and stable projection, Ennis's offensive ability does not need Leonard to focus on defense. Although Leonard is about 10 centimeters shorter than Bosh, his arm span can make up for the height gap well and strongly interfere with the projection of the 'Dragon King'.

"Don't look at it, young man, Chris Bosh can't help you right now." Tony Parker laughed and whispered, "You'd better think about what you're going to do." ”

Addison ignored his words and raised his hand to signal Bosh to the top of the arc to cover, while he dribbled to the left to accelerate to break through.

Leonard mentioned that the upper line was slightly delayed by the Chinese point guard, and his great power and quick movement allowed Addison to find a breakthrough space in time and had to continue to run along the three-point line to the left. However, Leonard only made a slight block and refocused the defense on Chris Bosh, with Addison continuing to deal with Parker who was out of cover.

"Did you all see that? Guys, I saw super defensive strength and defensive awareness! Charles Barkley said loudly, "Leonard's online blocking can make a breakthrough master like Addison unable to find space to attack!" This is equivalent to directly destroying the Heat's pick-and-roll offense! ”

It seems that this is the response of ** Vic, and Leonard mentioned defending Bosh in the fourth position...... If done right, it could indeed take down nearly half of the Miami's offensive firepower. O'Neill couldn't help but nod his head and applaud the Black and White Legion's response.

Addison, who failed to execute the pick-and-roll, passed the ball to Wade on the same side, and the 'Flash' broke through Danny Green along the baseline, hit the low post and dummy a shot before forcing a backward jump shot. The basketball bounced off the front basket and was protected by Duncan for defensive rebounds.

The Spurs' offense was still completed by the whole team running back and forth, Parker used the cover to break through Bosh and then handed the ball to Duncan in the high post. Facing Addison and Ennis, who were coming from the wing, 'Stone Buddha' did not force a shot against interference, but threw the basketball at Coy Leonard, who fell to the bottom corner.

Leonard threw a three-pointer from the bottom corner before Ennis pounced, and the basketball slashed through a gentle arc and into the net, causing another burst of excitement and excitement in the court.

Cowie Leonard has shot nearly 40 three-pointers this season, and his scoring momentum has been getting hotter since last year's Finals. Today, Leonard is not only the team's best outside defensive gatekeeper, but his average of 168 points per game is also a team-high, and he has begun to gradually surpass Tony Parker to become the team's leading scorer.

Attacking and defending, Leonard is already on his way to becoming a true superstar and is becoming more and more mature and well-rounded......

Addison brought him to the Spurs' half, Bosh was still frantically chased and entangled by Leonard, and the Chinese point guard decisively gave up the idea of continuing to play with the 'Dragon King'. He raised his left hand and motioned for Whiteside to come forward for cover.

Is he going to observe the Spurs' defensive plan through this method, is it for Leonard to defend and pick-and-roll? Or is Duncan doing the delay and blocking and the flank to assist in the defense?

Whiteside's generous frame kept Parker firmly in front of him, and Addison slammed the basketball into the basket and picked up his speed to break through from the right to the inside.

Bosh tacitly wanted to run away from the Chinese rookie position, trying to keep Leonard's defensive range out of the breakaway Addison. Sure enough, Leonard didn't care about the Heat point guard, but continued to keep an eye on the running Chris Bosh. This made Addison secretly relieved, although he wanted to face Leonard head-on, but the game situation at this time made Addison, as a point guard, feel that it is safer to avoid the opponent's attack as much as possible.

Marco Berinelli on the flank pounced on the Chinese rookie to help defend, and the Italian put a lot less pressure on Addison's defense. He deliberately made a feint to pass the ball to the side, then moved to the left and slapped the basketball from behind with his right hand.

"Successful breakthrough! Addison goes straight into the box and faces Tim Duncan's defense! ”

At the age of 19 and 39, this was one of the few times in this game when Addison faced Duncan directly, and 'Stone Buddha' calmly adjusted his position to prevent the opponent from easily completing the breakthrough. Addison was close to the reasonable collision zone when he suddenly pulled the ball with his right hand to the side and stepped forward with his right foot.

Duncan couldn't anticipate the rookie's intentions, just in case he moved half a step anyway. Addison suddenly pulled up the basketball with the help of the half-step of the 'Stone Buddha', and quickly turned around close to the opponent!

The Heat point guard moved much faster than Duncan, and before 'Stone Buddha' could pull back to his feet, Addison had already put the ball in his left hand and gently picked it up to the basket.

The flying basketball did not encounter any obstacles, and after rising to the highest point, it quickly fell, hollowing into the net basket.
