There is no doubt that the Miami Heat is Thibodeau's biggest imaginary enemy, and as for the Spurs or something, they will not be considered until the Hawks have the ability to break out of the Eastern Conference.

And if you want to extinguish this heat, how to limit the two big players in Miami to the greatest extent is the key.

Wade, the 03 generation, is gradually revealing his outstanding leader, which is not terrible for the Eagles, and the most important thing under Thibodeau is the outside gate, and Iguodala is a superman who combines speed and strength.

What worries Uncle Tom even more is undoubtedly the shark that has been criticized by critics and is gradually aging!

In fact, against O'Neal, Thibodeau is not without more labor-saving methods, such as the road of speeding up the small lineup, but the Hawks coach obviously wants to solve this big problem head-on.

Holding a large number of inside chips and gaining the upper hand in the fight for every inch of land in the paint area, this is positive in Thibodeau's view, and the fast attack bombardment uses speed to drag down the old shark, and even force the old shark away to sit on the bench, which is strange.

There aren't many chances to win by surprise, and the most confident thing about beating your opponent with integrity is to go through a brutal playoff game and finally fight for a championship, and tactics are always built on real strength.

Thibodeau was in the locker room making the final tactical arrangement before the game, saying that it was a tactical arrangement, but the content was more about the mobilization before the game, stimulating the adrenaline rush of the players. Lao Jiang stood silently outside the door of the locker room, although the door of the locker room was very tight, he could still faintly hear the sound coming from inside, and the words "shark", "old man", "kill him", and "champion" popped out one by one.

When the gate opened, the players rushed out. One by one, they clenched their fists like bulls who had been teased. Old Jiang couldn't help but win. While shouting "kill them", he high-fived his players in turn, and finally walked into the locker room with a red slap.

"You've been shouting for a long time, what do you think are the chances that we'll kill the shark this time?" , Jiang Qi smiled and asked Xibode, who did not have a relaxed look on his face.

Uncle Tom shrugged, "You know, a player like Shaq is not an ideal pre-game tactical plan, and no one knows if the next moment the shark will open his intimidating mouth. Showing sharp teeth......"

Thibodeau's words were soon fulfilled!

This season, O'Neal's form has been up and down, and he often falls into a slump, but at Phillips Arena, the old shark seems to have a "second spring", rampage under the basket like a bulldozer.

Originally, in the tactics set by the Hawks, Da Yao only faced O'Neal on the offensive end, and the one responsible for resisting the shark beast on the defensive end was the big white bear Purzbilla, but O'Neal made two fouls in a row in just three minutes, which made Thibodeau have to call the first timeout after the start of the game.

"Listen to me. Guys! Uncle Tom's face was solemn. It's not that you're not doing well, it's that this shark is showing his true colors! ”

"Against the beast, we need to use sharper weapons to hurt him, and defense alone can't contain him!"

"Joel, you take a break first and carefully observe Shaq's footsteps and attacking style today!"

"Yao!" , Thibodeau stared at the little giant, "The prefix of the center is not something that can be crowned by any inside line, and the premise of wanting to prove that you are a center forward is to defeat another center!" Use your advantage to confuse Shaq on the offensive end, you have the ability! ”

"Chris! With the help of cover, you can try to charge at Shaq, but of course the timing and choice of the attack is up to you! ”

"Josh! Andre! I'm sure they're going to create your chances, don't hesitate, the Heat's hinterland is actually empty! ”

Thibodeau's words are not purely to motivate morale, in addition to O'Neal, the Heat's interior line is indeed Pat? Riley's heart disease, no matter how diligent and hard Haslem is, he is only a blue-collar worker after all, Anthony? Walker's guy is an all-star first-class, but the degree of unreliability is maddening, compared to the white chocolate Williams who "changed the evil and returned to the right", the fat head is a little blind to the expectations of the god operator.

As a result, the Heat's offense on the interior will rely very much on O'Neal's personal play, and the defensive end is not solid, and the Sharks' footsteps are already a little faltering, and the deterrent power is greatly reduced.

Obviously, after this timeout, the eyes of the audience at Phillips Arena were focused on the relationship between Da Yao and the Sharks, and in the current league, the "Yao Shark Duel" represents the pinnacle of the center level, and Howard is not yet able to compete for this level.

Paul dribbled on the flank, and Da Yao suddenly strode to the high post and reached out for the ball, which was something that had never happened before......

The Eagles' playmaker did not hesitate for half a minute, and in the next second, the ball was comfortably stuffed into the hands of the little giant, and O'Neal on the opposite side was stunned and did not step up in time, his afterglow had already swept to the birdman who came on as a substitute for the big white bear was slipping the bottom line, and the athletic talent of this goods was not something that Haslem could compete with.

It's just that in response to him is the crisp and neat voice of the shabu net, Da Yao's shot is extremely firm, even if O'Neal pounces on him and overwhelms him, it will not change at all!

Perhaps, when facing Garnett and Stoudemire inside, Da Yao's footsteps are a shortcoming, but in front of the shark, with his height and range, this has become his advantage.

The hard-hitting confrontation is only part of the inside fight, not the whole story, Da Yao uses the hook hand on the outside of the body, the flexible baseline turn at the foot, and the mid-range shot that suddenly steps out of the high position...... He found the prefix of "center" in front of O'Neal, the "Shanghai Dance Move" that turned around on the bottom line twice, and successfully created two fouls on the shark.

But on the other hand, Jiang Qi's painstakingly hoarded internal resources successfully thinned out O'Neill's impact.

Purzbilla, Gortat, and Chris? Anderson, all three of them have set up a wall for Da Yao, and in the past, Wade, another blade of the Heat's killing inside, was overwhelmed by Iguodala's single defense and Smith's rotation defense, and from time to time Barnes, a bandit, came up to disrupt the situation, if it weren't for Posey and Williams contributing outside firepower to contain it, this game would have lost suspense in less than three quarters.

In the end, the Hawks beat the Heat by 13 points at home, which fully illustrated the difference in depth between the two teams on the bench, and also made the shouts of Phillips Arena spread throughout Atlanta.

When the final whistle sounded, Thibodeau stretched out his slap to Jiang Qi behind him, "The future I hope for is slowly becoming a reality, in addition to the rankings, maybe we are also in a leading position psychologically!" (To be continued......)
