Chapter Ninety-Two: Struggle

The essence of basketball is a team sport, although the NBA is a place where all kinds of talented players are crisscrossed, but the foundation of a strong team can never rely on the performance of one or two players with good talent and great ability. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info but through the cooperation between the players, the decay is magical, to achieve the effect that one plus one is far greater than two.

And that's exactly what the Warriors are missing right now, and while they can play amazing games at times, more often than not, they're working on their own in a small area. The integrity can be said to be a mess, relying only on the starting Curry and the bench Duan Tianqing in tandem, if these two are not there, probably Green will have a certain ability to organize and connect.

Of course, this is also because the Warriors' lineup has changed a lot in recent years, with the old and the new alternating, in exchange for many players, and the lineup has been unstable. The degree of tacit understanding between the players is not so high, and I believe that after a period of running-in, this situation can be much better.

However, overall, although the players in the Warriors' roster have good talents, they have their own shortcomings and weaknesses. That's something the Heat's veterans were able to grasp, and they quickly saw the Warriors' inadequacy in their players.

For example, Duan Tianqing's offensive means are single, his defense is strong, and his offense is insufficient. And it's susceptible to emotions, and there are some common problems of rookie players.

Klay Thompson mainly plays off the ball and is not as good with the ball. Defensively, it's okay, but it's not as good for a shooter of the level of Ray Allen.

Another example is Harrison Barnes, who is a good shooter with good offensive ability, but he is not very consistent. The time is particularly accurate, and the balls that are not allowed to get up and throw are particularly unreliable.

Of course, they are just some rookies, and it's normal to have some shortcomings. But the Heat's players have caught these weaknesses of the Warriors and targeted offense and defense.

When defending Duan Tianqing, Ray Allen or Sean Battier will shrink in, not giving Duan Tianqing a chance to break through the basket and let him shoot.

And when defending Klay Thompson, he chased him off the ball very well.

Overall, the Heat played much smarter than the Warriors. And the Warriors struggled.

Although looking back, Klay Thompson forced a shot from the outside with Duan Tianqing's cover and hit a three-pointer, which can be regarded as a repayment.

The two sides are also at a stalemate. Because the explosiveness of the Heat lineup is not enough, it occupies the advantage on the court, but it cannot open up the difference. On the Warriors' side, with the individual ability of the players and the rebound of Thompson's shooting rate, they can always play amazing balls and control the situation after the opponent has scored together.

It can be said that the Heat always create opportunities to shoot and score, and they play very reasonably. And the Warriors always have no chance to forcibly create opportunities to shoot, and create miracles in unreasonableness.

Sean Battier broke through the ball, and Ray Allen borrowed James Jones to block Duan Tianqing and scored from the outside.

On the other side, the warrior went back, and Duan Tianqing grabbed the basket against the opponent's center and played two plus one.

Forty-for-forty-four, the Heat still have a four-point lead. Although it failed to widen the difference, the Heat's goal has been achieved. Because they didn't want to win many points with this lineup, because they were the key to winning when the main lineup was on the field. And this lineup also successfully limited the Warriors' bench depth.

At this time, halfway through the second quarter, both sides fell into a scoring drought for a while.

"Hey, why can't Ray Allen be wrong!" Ray Allen's shot smashed out of the frame and was grabbed by Duan Tianqing on the side.

"Aren't you the same?! Practice how to organize an attack, boy! Ray Allen replied as he stepped back.

It's true that the Warriors' rookie rookie lineup doesn't have a good way to deal with the opposing team's defense.

"Moreover, if you practice shooting well, your killing will be more powerful!" Ray Allen taught unconsciously.

“。。。 You say the same thing?! "Duan Tianqing has a black line, and he was actually taught a lesson by his opponent?

However, his shooting percentage is indeed touching, although Duan Tianqing's shooting ability has improved significantly by following Curry's targeted shooting training during this time.

However, it still can't catch up with the level of the average defender in the league. The free throw shooting rate was about 50 percent, and today it was only one of the four free throws.

"Hehe, I'm a good teacher!" Ray Allen shook his head unconsciously.

"Hahaha, I know why they call you Junzi Lei!" Duan Tianqing said with a strange expression.

"I'm just teasing you like this, and you're not angry, and you're still in the mood to teach me?!" To be honest, in the previous paragraph, because the offense and defense were not smooth, Duan Tianqing was also anxious, and there were no small moves in the open and in the dark.

Unexpectedly, Ray Allen was not angry at all, which made Duan Tianqing lose interest and continue to tease. And here Ray Alun still has the technical problems of teaching Duan Tianqing.

"Shhhh The Heat request a substitution! With four minutes left in the second quarter, the Heat made the first substitution.

At this time, the difference between the two teams was maintained at four points, 48 to 44, and the Warriors' dynamic lineup did not work, but was consumed enough by a group of old men, which also annoyed Matt Jackson.

As soon as he saw the other party's substitution, he immediately made adjustments.

Matt Jackson removed everyone except Duan Tianqing, and made a large number of substitutions, four up and four down, Curry replaced Klay Thompson, David Lee replaced Drummond, Richard Jefferson replaced Harrison Barnes, and Bogut replaced Azeli.

Except for Duan Tianqing, who has the best defensive effect, who wants to stay on the court to limit Wade, the other rookie players of the Warriors who are limited by the Heat's bench lineup are all pressed to the bench by Matt Jackson.

The Heat took the Big Three at the same time, while Sean Battier and Ray Allen remained on the court. This is almost the strongest lineup that the Heat can come up with.

With the Big Three on the pitch, Ray Allen and Battier have a lot less responsibility. You just need to shoot and defend well.

The Heat wanted to play an offensive surge in the final moments of the second quarter and head into the second half with the advantage.

The offensive athleticism of the Heat's current lineup is not comparable to the previous bench lineup, and this substitution, the painting style of the entire team has changed abruptly, and the rhythm of steady play has accelerated rapidly.

The Warriors, on the other hand, have slowed down, because Bogut, David Lee and Jefferson are not the kind of players who are fast.

Instead, it makes it easy for the Heat to play fast-break. The Heat's conversion and fast-break counterattack are also among the best in the league, and the Warriors can only catch up with Duan Tianqing and Curry, but the two of them are powerless for the Heat's fast-break restrictions.
