Chapter 370: The brilliance of the Heat veterans
"At the end of the second quarter, I need you to step up!" Riley didn't have any nonsense and said directly: "There is no need to say anything else, I think the two of you also understand our problem, except for our two cores, I can only trust you two in the team!" ”
"Remember! This is our first Eastern Conference Finals for the Heat! I'm sure this will be the last few times of your career! You won't even have the time and ability to use your own strength to fight for the championship in the future......" After looking at the expressions of the two veterans fiercely, and watching their expressions become quite silent and angry, Riley continued, "Please don't underestimate your own strength! Please make those who underestimate you pay the price they deserve! Your career deserves such a wonderful moment! ”
didn't lay out any specific tactics, nor did they say anything to the other three, at this moment, the Heat team will definitely not rely on tactics, the only thing they can rely on now is themselves, and the most important belief!
Faith, there is no such thing as a rather difficult thing to explain! The Heat will not succeed! This is the only thing that cannot be lost when challenging a mature and strong team like the Knicks because of the status of a real weakling!
Antoine? Walker, one of the Celtics' twin stars that year, was the only candidate to serve as the core of the team before Pierce, a representative of the 96 golden generation, and a typical first-line star degenerate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In one sentence, you can summarize a series of reasons for the fall of some first-line stars, injuries and lifestyle habits. Nowitzki's multi-year career has been extremely strict with his diet, and it's hard to imagine how a player with modest physical potential can play for so many years.
Duncan, Nash...... Who among these players with excellent and long careers is not extremely demanding on their daily lives? Even the current Hill, after coming to the Knicks, started by improving his diet.
Walker is not so lucky, he has an easy-going personality and no strong beliefs, he relies more on the body built by daily training, and he has begun to enter the other extreme since he was injured, and he likes to shoot three-pointers very much...... If Walker really worked the three-point line, but Walker's three-point performance is more of a willful behavior, and it can also be said to be a typical representative of being pampered by the coach, Walker may open up the situation on the court for some willful things, but when the team really needs him to stand up, he can stand up very rarely.
Riley is not in a predicament and desperate situation, and he will never easily give a player like Walker unlimited firing rights, but Riley ultimately relied on the list he selected that year.
In the face of Battier's defense, Walker, who doesn't dare to make some moves, can have another big role, a high-quality player who creates opportunities for a player's blocking, Jason's breakthrough ability has always been within the league's first line, even if the current Jason has various situations due to a series of his own reasons, but at some critical moments, Jason is still reliable.
The defence laid out by Posey and Haslem is also a key point that Riley can trust, and these are the real reasons why Riley finally decided to take a gamble.
Of course, the more important point is that Riley believes in a person.
When O'Neal was rested, Yao Ming was subsequently replaced, and it was Bosh who replaced Yao Ming, an inside partner with Dior, plus Battier, Paul and Ray Allen to form the current Knicks lineup.
The Knicks' lineup is difficult to defend, but there is another point that the Knicks' interior defense will become relatively weak at this time.
When Battier was confined to the outside by the Heat's series of measures, it actually allowed a veteran to find a good opportunity to take advantage of.
When Mill saw that the Heat's tempo was extremely low, and all the players were in no hurry to do anything, and even after the team couldn't find a good opportunity on the periphery, Mir frowned tightly.
The Knicks' best interior defense is undoubtedly Yao Ming, but Yao Ming's current height and weight gain due to some arrangements from Thibodeau, Yao Ming's playing time has always been a big problem for the Knicks.
Although an agreement has been reached with the Knicks to renew his contract in advance, the arrangement of Yao Ming is the biggest problem facing the Knicks, except for strengthening Bosh's defensive practice time in the low post, the Knicks have not found a better way now.
Now is the moment when the Knicks are quite uncomfortable, especially when Mourning, who can't look at it well, seems to be risking his life to do something, and Bosh is even more struggling in the face of this desperate uncle.
If Mo Ning didn't have that serious kidney disease, I'm afraid some of the patterns in the eastern part of the alliance would have changed.
It only takes one thing to see what some teams in the league think of Mourning, when Mourning is found to be seriously ill and may never play again, but some people who want to perform in the Finals or playoffs have their eyes on Mourning.
In the past few years since Mourning left the Heat, he has been to the Raptors to escort Milicic, and he has also been to the SuperSonics and has made quite embarrassing contributions.
In the past few years, Mo Ning has tasted injuries and criticism, but Mo Ning still did not give up some things, and when O'Neal came to Miami, the opportunity that Mo Ning wanted appeared in front of him again.
Mourning is well aware of his physical condition, and he no longer has the strength to fight hard for the next title.
This time it really came to the most critical moment, 3-1 and 2-2, and the Heat team had reached a life-and-death point.
Seeing that Mo Ning once again relied on his body to forcibly squeeze out a trace of space, hooked the ball and then clenched his fists hard to cheer himself up, Wade, who was sitting on the court, bit his lip tightly.
Bosh's defense can't be said not to work hard, but although Bosh has improved a lot in the third year, really entered the first-line star, and even broke his rookie wall and became a reliable scoring point for the team, but the defensive ability is not so easy to improve, the accumulation of experience, the way of defending in the past, this is always what Bosh lacks.
Now the Heat's defense is just slowing down the pace of the game, but the Heat really don't want to rely on defense to get through this period of time.
Basketball is a round-by-round game, and by halftime, as long as the Heat can keep the score within five points, it's actually a big win.
In particular, some of the things that appeared in Wade's eyes were what Riley wanted most. (To be continued.) )
