Chapter 195: It's Not a Bad Thing
"Anthony. Davis! The high post ball went to Ryan on the left. Anderson! James. Ennis quickly fills the defense! Drexler said quickly as the game was raging, "Anderson was distracted, this shot missed!" β
The bouncing basketball was taken by Anthony who was standing far away from the basket. Davis got it, and the 'thick eyebrows' who won the offensive rebound stepped forward to prepare for a second attack on the basket. But a loud shout in his ears slashed like thunder, and Whiteside's palm slammed into Davisto's basketball, and the pegboard hat knocked it out of the box again!
Ruhr. Deng rushed inside to grab at Tyrick. Evans won the basketball and then handed the ball to Addison. The Chinese point guard didn't dribble at all, but took the basketball down with his right hand and pushed it towards the left side of the frontcourt.
Wade, who was fast enough to cut to the three-point line along the left wing, didn't make it all the way to the basket, dribbled two steps before a sudden breakdown and then jumped just in front of the paint. Retreat to Quincy in the box. Pontheside was taken aback, and it was too late to pounce again, as the basketball thrown by 'The Flash' had already slid into the net.
βBingoοΌοΌοΌ The Miami fought back again!! "Bill. Wharton exclaimed, "Look at the scoreline now, who would have thought they were behind the visitors before half-time!! β
Eight minutes into the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat had a nine-point lead over the New Orleans Pelicans at 92:83, completely reversing the double-digit deficit of trailing their opponents before halftime.
The Pelicans have improved a lot this season. Davis is officially recognized as a new generation of superstars in the league, and teammates like Asik, Holiday and Evans can also provide strong support for 'Thick Eyebrows'. Now they have a record of 27 wins and 27 losses, and they are competing with the Thunder for the eighth place in the West, and they are no longer the weak team in the French region that was regarded as a fish belly after CP3 left.
However, such a Pelicans team was gradually suppressed by the Heat team, which lacked the first scorer on the road, and it was difficult to find a chance to turn the tables around. Anthony. Davis moved back and forth between the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, even though Ruhr was able to move back and forth. Deng and Whiteside defended him tightly, and he still scored 30 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and his state was very hot.
But on the other hand, Davis's teammates played sluggishly throughout the game. Gordon made 5-of-14 shooting, and Tyrick. Evans made 4-of-10 shooting, Quincy. Ponteside has only made four shots so far, and only one shot......
"Despite the fact that Chris. Bosh's absence has forced the Heat to influence and adjust on the offensive end, but they are as strong as ever on the defensive end. That's Drexler's assessment of the Heat's defense, "especially for the blockade of outside players, which is so dense that it's almost brutal." β
"This doesn't really mean that Bosh isn't important to the Heat's defense, in fact, the Heat have been able to average only 97.1 points per game this season, and Bosh has played a huge role as a pick-and-roll line defender." Bill. Wharton analyzed the Miami's defensive strategy, "But in this game, we can clearly see that there is no Zhu . Holiday 's Pelicans simply couldn't play a decent pick-and-roll offense, and even Anthony Brown. Davis has to constantly move to the top to act as a response center. In the modern basketball world, a team that can't play pick-and-roll can do very little damage. Davis pulled out all the stops, and it was hard to compete with the Miamins, who had re-awakened on the offensive end. As long as the Heat keep an eye on the opponent's perimeter players, coupled with the strong defensive ability of Whiteside in the restricted area, they can do a good job of limiting the Pelicans' offense...... After all, it's hard to win alone, and I think Davis should be very aware of that by now. β
As noted by Bill. Wharton said, Anthony. Davis is playing hard right now, and although he has scored 30 points, he feels like he has more difficulty scoring every time he scores than before. Monty. Williams thrust 'Bush' into the center position in the fourth quarter and replaced him with Ryan. Anderson, hoping to strengthen the team's offensive firepower. But Anderson was reinstated as the No. 4 Ruhr. Deng stared at the barely able to find room to shoot, while against Whiteside's Anthony. Davis was also in trouble.
The Heat center's agility is slightly inferior to that of 'Bushy Eyebrows', but his basket awareness and terrifying reach are a big headache for Davis. Anthony who struggled to get into the basket to score. Davis had to focus his firepower as much as possible on the high mid-range, and Whiteside preferred to let the opponent shoot in the high post rather than go too far from the box to prevent the Pelicans from breaking through the air.
This defensive style has caused the Pelicans to be extremely injured, and no matter how it changes, it will still fall to Anthony in the end. Davis is fighting alone. However, the French team could not stop the new blocking offensive line composed of Addison and Wade, Deng and Whiteside, and after Bosh was injured, Wade and Deng burst out with a stronger desire to attack, and Addison also intended to find more cooperation with these two. Aside from Bosh, the duo are undoubtedly the Heat's best scorers at the moment, with a strong personal style and experience.
"If there's one thing I really admire about Addison, it's his ability to adjust himself on the field." Drexler watched as the Chinese point guard used the cover to distribute the ball to Wade who was running to the high post in time, and then blocked Tyrick for the 'Flash'. Evans, let Wade hit a jumper within two steps from the three-point line, "Most point guards need several or even a dozen games to adapt to after losing their partner, and some people will never be able to adapt...... But Addison only took less than half a game to get rid of the discomfort of losing his inside partner and began to build a new firepower. β
"That's what I think a good playmaker should be, it's not about creating an attacking system with themselves at the core, it's about adapting quickly and connecting into different attacking systems." Bill. Wharton added, "A top-tier playmaker should be able to seamlessly integrate with his team and make the team's offensive system burst into strength through his own playmaking. β
"Beal, in this era of offensive point guards, the kind of people you're talking about are basically on the verge of extinction." Drexler smiled and reminded him that he was telling the truth.
"It's not a bad thing, because the more attacking players you have, the more likely you are to build around them." Bill. Walton did not blindly lament the nostalgia for the former league like many retired NBA commentators, but gave a very objective evaluation, "I may say it sharply, but it is as strong as John. Stockton, too, has been giving Carl. Malone is just a supporting role...... And Chris. Paul or Delon. Williams, however, has always been at the heart of their respective teams. I'm not looking for Addison to be a purely traditional playmaker, but to be an all-around and powerful point guard like the 'Smiling Assassin'. β
***
At 102:95, the Miami Heat finally defeated the New Orleans Pelicans at home.
The Heat, who won the game, have a 34-19 record, finishing only behind the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors and continuing to sit third in the East. With the first round of the regular season after the All-Star break coming to an end, the whole league is starting to sprint towards the final stage of the regular season!
The teams that were basically hoping for a playoff spot were all pushing forward, while the teams that had no hope of advancing began to look frantically and completely ruined, fighting for this year's draft spotting.
As things stand, 2015 will still be a big year for the draft. Known as the next 'fantasy insider', Karl. Anthony. Towns, a young man with explosive physical fitness, ball-handling ability comparable to that of an outside player, and flexible scoring methods, has long attracted the attention and coveted of various NBA teams; Duke University has 'Al. Jefferson II's title of Jalil. Okafor; Cristaps, who is playing in La Liga. Porzingis, the 7-foot-3" tall white man in the scouting report has the same interior shooting power as Nowitzki, and he also has good defensive skills......
The abundance of talented youngsters has excited and strengthened the idea of the teams that are at the bottom of the list, with the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers being the most prominent.
As the Miami Heat progressed through the season-end schedule, some problems began to emerge. Since Bosh has announced that he will be completely out of the season due to blood clots, the Heat, who are committed to adjusting their offensive style, have lost more games in subsequent games. Fortunately, Addison's quick adaptation and entry into the role, as well as the experience of the team's veterans, allowed the Heat to get through this painful period relatively well and continue to be at the top of the East.
Winter has turned to spring, and when the time enters April, the league's record pattern has changed a lot.
