Chapter 359: Countering Weakness with Weakness, Heat Stronger

Heat power forward Johnson, small forward Richardson, center Whiteside, all three did not intercept Zhang Feng to break through the inside, but chose to immediately concentrate under the basket to protect the rebound.

And looking back, Dragic went straight down, which completely showed that the Heat had gone all out to attack, and Zhang Feng saw Spo's tactical strategy from these two aspects.

Now that you have seen through the opponent's tactics, the next thing to do is to target.

Respond to the fast break, either delay their pass infinitely, or return the favor with others – faster than the opposition. In terms of speed, Zhang Feng is the first in the league, and the Heat is fast, it is simply that there is a way in heaven and he doesn't go, and there is no way to break in from hell. After paying attention, Zhang Feng leaned over to Hill and whispered: "They are going to play a fast attack, let's fight with them."

When Hill heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, and he dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed directly to Willy. Hill knew to play fast, but Willie didn't know that the Kings usually trained in the team, and they didn't communicate how to use gestures and code words to represent fast, and after Willy received the ball, he still slowly and leisurely turned his back to find the rhythm and prepared to play.

"Pick up the speed, let's play fast attack!" Zhang Feng didn't care, and shouted loudly to remind.

This roar, except for Zhang Feng and Hill, the players of both teams are in a short period of confusion, and there are such communication tactics?

However, after a short period of confusion, Willie reacted and suddenly turned around and accelerated to the basket, Johnson, who was defending him, could not react and failed to stop, Randolph immediately spread his hands and backs to block Whiteside.

Randolph made such a move, naturally to create a good layup space for Willy, and Willy Ye lived up to his expectations, easily hitting the board and scoring 2 points.

The ball was converted, the Heat attacked, Dragic ran to the front court with the ball, and Hill followed closely. The pair stopped at the three-point line, and Jones Jr. strode up to block Dragic. Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng knew that Dragic would definitely not go to his side, so he made a detour to Jones Jr. and blocked Dragic's way in advance.

But Drajic is also a point guard, and in the face of Zhang Feng's detour defense, he immediately slowed down to pull the ball, changed direction and rushed in the direction where Zhang Feng came.

It was definitely too late for Zhang Feng to chase after him, but Hill still had a chance, and he moved his feet, turning around Jones Jr. and chasing Dragic wildly.

It can be said that Zhang Feng and Hill's defensive strategies are very risky, but they also have to do it, after all, they have to fight with the Heat, the Heat is fast, and the King can only be faster.

Fortunately, using such a strategy was very effective in delaying Della's fast break, and he still failed to break through the defense on the outside with a block and a change of direction, and there were only 10 seconds left in the offensive time, and the Heat's fast break failed.

When the fast attack failed, Della immediately stopped the ball and commanded, intending to use the last 10 seconds to organize a positional attack.

But the art of war is cloudy, and it declines again and again, and the Heat does not have an advantage in height, and when they play positional battles, the chances of scoring goals become smaller. But it can't be helped, this is a game, and if you can't score, you have to play, and Della chooses to hand over Whiteside.

Whiteside was unambiguous with the ball, and he immediately turned and accelerated to the basket, trying to take advantage of the time difference to beat Randolph with a rub.

But this is his wishful thinking, Randolph has played in the NBA for 17 years, and it is already very powerful for a routine to deceive him once, and it is a fool's dream to deceive him a second time, the moment Whiteside accelerated, he also accelerated, and as a result, the two collided together, and the referee blew the whistle.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Whiteside immediately put down the basketball and prepared to go to the free throw line, but he never expected that the referee actually made a gesture at him: an offensive foul.

β€œhatοΌŸβ€ He immediately rushed to the referee to theorize, but the referee did not respond.

"Shouldn't Randolph be fouled?" He continued to theorize, but then he thought that the basket was a reasonable collision zone and did not block the statement, but he did not give up and continued: "Don't you see that Randolph is beating? ”。

The referee still ignored him, but pointed to the top of his head, he looked up and saw that the video of the attack was playing on the big screen in the center of the court, and when the video was close-up, he realized that the referee was blowing his elbow.

"Okay......" He knew he was wrong, and walked away.

The two teams continued to play the entire first quarter of the game according to the strategy of 'see who is faster', Dragic was constantly disturbed by Zhang Feng and Hill's high-speed defensive changes on the outside, and the Heat's offensive rhythm was forced to slow down, and the King basically gave up the idea of grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt, and the Heat did not score a single fast break within 6 minutes.

On the King's side, Zhang Feng and Hill took the lead, and the whole team quickly moved the ball on offense, and the Heat couldn't defend it, and the King played an 18-8 small climax. At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led the Heat 36-28.

Off-court, Spo gathered the Heat players and prepared to change their tactics, but this time, Spo surrounded the Heat players tightly and instructed the assistant coach to keep an eye on the others and not let them get close.

Why did Spo do that? Because he suspected that the previous tactics were overheard by the king, otherwise he really couldn't figure out why his tactics and strategies were completely cracked by the king in only 2 rounds.

On the king's side, Zhang Feng was listening intently to David's tactics, but the strange behavior of the Heat aroused his interest, and he thought: "Could it be that what kind of secret tactics are you?" Do you want to eavesdrop? ”。

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng subconsciously leaned closer to the Heat bench and pricked up his ears.

To be honest, Zhang Feng admires Spo, an Asian who started as a videographer and persevered for so many years, and was finally favored by Riley to become the coach of the Heat.

He was very fortunate that he was able to coach LeBron, Wade, and Bosh shortly after taking office, and his record in the early days of his coaching career was all the way red, reaching the finals four times, which is a treatment that many rookie coaches have never had.

But there are always two sides to things, the Big Three brought him the highest honor in his NBA career, but at the same time, he was questioned by fans whether he had coaching strength, and LeBron and Wade left, Bosh was injured, and the Heat's record declined rapidly, which made the voice of doubt him more and more intense.

Fortunately, this year's 'non-nuclear' Heat finally allowed him to prove himself, facing the Cavaliers, Celtics, Raptors, and Bucks, he can take the Heat to fourth place in the East.

As far as the tactics just now are concerned, Spo is also a coach who knows how to make good use of people and has flexible tactics, if it weren't for Zhang Feng's quick reaction, the Heat might be able to get a few more points.

"Forget it, it's better not to eavesdrop tactics, if you win by eavesdropping tactics, you also have a pimple in your heart, if you can't cheer as much as you can when you get it, then it's a big loss" Zhang Feng paid attention and withdrew his steps.

At the end of the pause, the second quarter of the game began, the Heat lineup remained unchanged, seeing this situation, the Heat owner Alison in the VIP stands was not happy, he Nunu said: "Spo's tactics are not too rigid, I can see that he is rushing to break fast, the lineup in the second quarter has not changed, is it giving up."

When Riley heard this, he first raised his eyebrows without a trace, and then said with a chuckle: "You just emphasized that you are a patient person, Spo has been in the Heat for so many years, don't you know what his coaching level is?" Besides, even if you don't believe him, believe me."

When he said this, he was obviously a little angry, after all, Spo was his close disciple, and Alison hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm afraid that he will leave a bad impression on Zhang Feng, if he recruits Zhang Feng in the future, because of this failure, it will be a big loss."

"It's okay, just look at it, Spo must have a new way"

On the court, the Kings' first offense of the second quarter was hampered, and Hill was deliberately put down a few steps by Dragic, who seemed intent on trapping Zhang.

It stands to reason that Hill should shoot directly at this time, but his shooting percentage in the first quarter was not ideal, only 1 of 5 shots, so he hesitated now when he has the opportunity.

"Vote, what do you want?" Randolph reminded urgently.

But Hill didn't move, he glanced at Zhang Feng, and waited until Zhang Feng also nodded, and then he took the ball away. But his hesitation, the shooting was iron, the Heat still got three people to grab the board, Randolph was powerless, and the rebound was picked up by Johnson.

In fact, seeing the trajectory of the basketball flight after Hill's shot, Zhang Feng knew that he would definitely not be able to hit, so he chose to retreat early to prevent the Heat from playing fast break.

His Heat lineup has not changed, and the playing style must be the same as before, but Dragic got the ball but did not accelerate the sprint, but leisurely dribbled to the frontcourt, calmly making gestures to direct the Heat players to run.

"I rub? Could it be that the tactics have changed? Zhang Feng was a little unconvinced.

But the truth is that Dragic was not only slow to dribble through the halfcourt, but also slow to pass the ball, and he stayed motionless until Whiteside was fully positioned before passing the ball in.

"What the hell is this tactic?" Zhang Feng subconsciously speculated.

The reason why he is suspicious is because the Heat's offensive tactics are a bit different. If it is said that it is a high-level strategy, none of the Heat interior line went to the three-point position to receive the ball; To say that it is a regular run without the ball, but only Whiteside is moving; When it comes to singles, Johnson and Richardson didn't give Whitecedra space.

The current situation is that Whiteside receives the ball in the crowd, with Bogdan on the left, Willy on the right, and Randolph in the back, and as long as he dares to put the basketball on the floor and start dribbling, the Kings will dare to steal.

Zhang Feng was on the left bottom line at this time, far away from the place where the players of the two teams were gathered, and there was nothing for him to do in defense, he stood cross-legged, and silently thought in his heart: "I want to see what tricks I can play, it is difficult to ......."

Before he could finish his thoughts, Whiteside suddenly launched, to be precise, it was the Heat four who suddenly started, and the only one who didn't start was Jones Jr. who was standing next to him.

Richardson raised the three-point line from the short corner area on the right side to block and dismantle, Dragic then blocked and dismantled around the right baseline, Johnson went straight to the top of the arc, Whiteside began to play back, and for a while, the four Kings except Zhang Feng all moved.

Perhaps by coincidence, or perhaps intentionally, while Dragic stood on the right baseline, Whiteside turned and jumped, apparently intending to shoot the basketball.

If he was under the basket, Randolph might have suffered a little bounce loss against Whiteside, but on the edge of the paint area, Randolph directly shot blindfolded interference.

However, Whitesey's shot was a feint, and he threw the ball to Johnson at the top of the arc halfway through his arm.

"I'll go, I'm not mistaken, right?" Zhang Feng couldn't understand why Whiteside didn't pass the ball to Dragic, a point guard with a higher shooting success rate in the bottom right corner, but instead passed the ball to Johnson, a power forward at the top of the arc.

Willie didn't expect this, he had already rushed to the basket to grab the board, and Johnson was suddenly in a state of almost no defense.

Also almost unguarded, Johnson was much more decisive than Hill, and after receiving the ball, he adjusted his posture slightly, raised his hand directly to shoot, and hit a 2-point shot.

Although it was not a 3 point, Zhang Feng was still a little confused, originally he thought that Spo had not made a tactical change, but after Jones Jr. pulled him to the bottom line, he reacted and felt that Spo probably used the same tactics as other teams to contain him offensively and weaken his defensive role to the maximum.

Looking at it now, Spo's tactical changes are obviously more than this, but Zhang Feng can't see what kind of medicine is sold in Spo's gourd house for a while.

Turning back to the Kings offense, Dragic still let Hill take a few steps, but fortunately, Hill didn't continue to hesitate, but unfortunately the shot still missed, and the Heat got the rebound again.

The Heat attacked, Jones Jr. smiled and took Zhang Feng to the left bottom line, although Zhang Feng was unhappy, but there was no way but to go up.

"Could it be that it's the same routine just now?" Seeing Whiteside receiving the ball and standing, Zhang Feng beat a drum in his heart.

Sure enough, the Heat were still the same old routine, Whiteside singled with his back, and when Richardson ran out of position, he passed the ball, but fortunately, Bogdan did not make the same mistake as Willy and clung to Johnson.

But Johnson chose to play hard, Bogdan didn't bounce well and couldn't block, Johnson was lucky, and hit a 2-point shot for the Heat again.

In the next few rounds, the Heat continued to rely on the same routine to score, plus Hill's hand was not good, Zhang Feng was restricted from receiving the ball again, and played the first official timeout in the second quarter, and the score of the two teams became 47:44.

Off the court, Zhang Feng began to wonder why, since the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat have chosen their weakest two points every time they attack - big forward Johnson and small forward Richardson. Why don't you put the more powerful Dragic and Whiteside? It's so weird.

"If only Willy and Bogdan could be prevented every time," Zhang Feng began to sigh in his heart.

sighed at this point, a flash of inspiration appeared in Zhang Feng's mind: "Although Johnson and Richardson are relatively weak offensively, Willy and Bogdan are not good at outside defense. The strength and weakness are all obtained through comparison, for example, Johnson only has 5 points on the outside offense, and Willy has only 4 points on the outside defense.

Spo's tactical strategy is to use the weak point of the Heat to hit the weaker point of the King, although he did not give full play to the strength of Dragic and Whiteside, but the King also abolished Zhang Feng, Randolph and Hill. Fight the weak with the weak, and the Heat will be stronger.
