Chapter 121: Sword Pointing to the Championship (2)
Lore's attempt seemed to have been shut down by his opponent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoJust when the audience thought so, the basketball in Lore's hands was suddenly withdrawn, shook his wrist and threw it back, the basketball was thrown straight behind Lore's back, and Dawn slapped the horse to raise his hand to throw the basketball in his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Li Jing!" ”
"Roger!" A figure outside the restricted area cut in from outside the left penalty area and jumped high, jumped up in the air behind the white edge and the Heat power forward, who had just landed with both feet, and grabbed the falling basketball in the air and dunked it into the basket.
Li Jing!
That's the fit!
……
Again, this time Dawn's ball didn't go directly into Lore's hands. The cross pass outside the three-point line was handed to Clarkson, who had a eye exchange with Dawn when he received the ball, and after comprehending it, he pretended to dribble the ball but suddenly passed the ball, and the basketball was handed to Lore on the inside again. With the experience of the previous few times, the Heat players, who were already frightened birds, did not dare to slack off, outflanking his passing routes left and right, leaving White to defend his attempts to attack inside.
Lore jumps!
At the same time, the white edge jumped up and raised his hands to intercept Lore's shooting lane.
The basketball is thrown lightly, and a small arc is hoisted before falling past the white-sided defense towards the basket.
In the air, Bai Bian turned his head in encouragement, and under his gaze, the basketball rubbed the rebound line and flew into the basket.
This time it's Mike? Lore's own goal.
"Beautiful!" The man in the audience slapped his hands in admiration, and turned his head to the man next to him, "This center is not bad!" ”
"But he's ...... tall"
The man interrupted the person next to him: "Height is not the most important thing, his passing awareness and ability to accurately grasp offensive opportunities are the most important." At 212 centimeters tall, he is already tall among center forwards in the league. After finishing speaking, he looked at Liming, Li Jing and Luoer one by one, and praised, "It is really enviable that a team has gathered three super-first-class players, and if such a combination fights for a few years, it will be time for a dynasty to be born." ”
"Who's to say it isn't. But I think it's always the defender and the forward who is a little bit better in the Lakers. ”
The man exclaimed, "That's him?" ”
"That's him!"
Off the court, the coach of the Heat, who had been pressing, finally couldn't continue to sit and watch, got up and called a timeout.
Timeout, adjust tactics, this is the time for the coaches of both sides to battle their wits. Both sides were in full swing to set up their tactics, the whistle blew and the game continued, and the players on both sides returned to the pitch.
The test of the wits of the two coaches is the performance of the players on the pitch.
The Heat's players made changes, and the fourth-year player at the power forward position was replaced, and a first-year player came on the court. This man has proven to be a more versatile, well-balanced player in the past and is considered a rising star for the Heat. After returning to the court, the first thing is the Heat's offense, and the offensive tactics have not changed much, perhaps their coach also knows that the room for improvement on offense with the ability of this group of players is really quite limited.
Skillful tactical coordination allowed them to find opportunities to shoot, and the lack of individual ability of the players made them unable to grasp the best opportunity to shoot, and the lack of ability to grasp the opportunity eventually made this attack useless.
The Heat's players, who had no success in attacking, quickly returned to defense, and the Lakers' counterattack chased them on their heels. When the Heat returned to the three-point line and turned to consolidate their defensive position, Dawn had already dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line. When he encountered the defense, he didn't stop, and sent the ball out casually, and after receiving the ball, Li Jing suddenly shook and started to kill the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.
The blind spot of 3-2 joint defense has always existed. Li Jing's activation speed was so fast that the opponent couldn't react, and he had already crossed over. The inside player's position is too far away, which makes Li Jing a flat horse after entering. An easy dunk under the basket.
The so-called taking care of one or the other is like this, and the tactics that the Heat coach bothered to arrange have not yet been shown, so he ate the first blow from the Lakers. Too much concern for the existence of Lore's powerful center made them unconsciously ignore Li Jing's threat.
A super striker is always a super striker. Even a slight flick is enough for them to pull off a beautiful attack.
It can be said that the coaches of both sides at the tactical level, Li Jing's raid won for Wharton first.
……
Once again, it's the Lakers' turn to adjust the Heat's defense. This time the offense was again launched by Dawn from beyond the three-point line. Lore came out of the penalty area to cover high, and Li Jing cut the inside line without the ball. Dawn dribbled the ball and confronted the opponent outside the three-point line. The Heat players are still in a 3-2 defensive position.
With the lesson of the last time, Heat no longer dared to be careless about Li Jing. One of the three men responsible for the interior defense blocked the way for the Lakers to cut into the basket.
Dellor's pick-and-roll cover. Dawn easily shook off the opponent and dribbled in the direction of the change of direction, while Lore, who had completed the task of covering the high position, quickly turned and cut to the basket, ready to attack. Lor's move naturally followed the white edge back to the defensive basket, one of the "2s" that the Heat responded to on the outside. also intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to the inside line to curb the straight passing channel between Liming, Li Jing and Luoer. The other of the "2" was naturally drawn by the movement of the dawn.
I have to say that this kind of defense has been considered by almost everyone who has taken care of everything. When the running involved the opponent's defensive lineup, the situation on the court immediately became clear - Clarkson at the top of the arc outside the three-point line was unguarded for a while.
The essence of joint defense is to play more and less, and the way to crack the joint defense is also to play more and play less, how could the Lakers miss this unguarded opportunity, so Dawn's pass arrived, so Clarkson shot. The basketball draws a succinct arc in the air and plunges directly into the basket.
The three-point line at the top of the arc is where Clarkson shoots the most three-pointers. The performance was so dazzling that people almost forgot that the Lakers also had five people on the court.
The game of basketball is always a five-on-five matchup. No amount of light can hide the fact that the other two people on the court exist.
Looking back at the whole process of Dawn's passing: the left-handed dribble moves along the three-point line, the opponent follows him inside, and when Dawn reaches the baseline, it is really when Clarkson is unguarded. At this point, Dawn theoretically has no chance to take Clarkson's situation into account. But the pass came so suddenly, Dawn stopped at the bottom line, shook the momentum and broke through the bottom line, and suddenly reversed his right hand. The basketball bounced off the ground at a fast speed, flying from between the legs of Li Jing in the confrontation with the opponent to Clarkson, and directly to him, and Clarkson, who received the ball, didn't even need to adjust to shoot directly.
Amazing passes!
The Heat's negligence was not originally considered an accident, and it was difficult for any other guard to accurately find an unguarded teammate in such a situation, and pass the ball so quickly and accurately, that the Heat did not even have time to react.
Only the Lakers can. Only the Lakers with Dawn can attack with an omission that wasn't supposed to be an oversight.
Clarkson's resurrection also dealt another blow to the defensive confidence of the Heat players. In addition to having such a shooter, what can this kind of opponent do to be able to defend? In previous games the Heat have faced, they have never had the experience of defending such an opponent. To defend four great scorers, how do you have five players on the court?
For the first time, the Heat's confidence in their defensive abilities was shaken.
Off the court, the Heat coach also frowned with a solemn expression on his face. The Lakers have exceeded his expectations. Frowning, he pondered tactics that could change the situation.
"In fact, with such a player playing to this position, the coach of the Heat is already quite powerful. Compared to all the teams the Lakers have played against in the past. The Heat have actually done quite well. Unfortunately, they meet today's opponents with the strongest offensive power in NBA history. "Somewhere in the audience outside the venue. Zhou Jie, who came to the stadium to watch the game, sighed that there was no lack of appreciation for the Heat in his words.
"And that's the end of this game?" King asked.
"Probably not, the coach of the Heat is not an idle role, and the game should still have some fluctuations. But the difference in strength between the two sides determined the outcome of this game. No matter how good the defense is, it is always the scores of both sides that determine the outcome of the game, if you can't score more points than your opponent in close attack. No matter how successful you defend, you can't win the game. The Lakers' lead has always been a pain in the hearts of the Heat players. The lack of offensive ability of the Heat players is really their biggest weakness, and you must know that the Lakers are not weak defensively! ”
"That's right, the Lakers average more than 100 points per game, and the Heat barely break the 70 mark per game, even if the Heat can suppress the Lakers at 80 points in this game (this is calculated based on the Lakers only scoring 20 points in the first quarter), they can't win this game." For the Heat, this game was just too difficult. ”
"It's not enough to play against the Lakers by simply relying on defense or simply playing offense, only a team that really has both offense and defense can hope to beat the Lakers. Judging from the current situation, it is the Spurs who can win them, but unfortunately the Spurs are eliminated. ”
Kink** nodded.
The game goes on. Time passed little by little, and the difference between the two teams began to widen little by little. The Heat coach standing on the sidelines remained silent, and he did not rashly ask for a pause to adjust his tactics. Standing there with his arms folded, his eyes were firmly fixed on the game, observing the advance and retreat of the Lakers players on the court. I thought about the opportunities I could use.
How to contain it in defense has been a topic for many strong teams since the Lakers' unstoppable rise this season. This game has attracted the attention of many strong teams, and as a strong team in defense, this game of the Heat has great reference value.
From the Heat's standpoint, it is necessary to curb the individual scoring ability and excellent passing awareness at the same time. The combination of an even more tacit combination, and another outside guard who clearly has a pretty good shooting ability, Clarkson, is a really difficult task. The Lakers are scary not because they have three super-first-class players, Li Jing, Lore and Liming -- otherwise the U.S. team, which has the most and most of the best players in the world, would not have lost the World Championships and the Olympics in a row -- but that these three people really form an inseparable whole. On the basis of straightforward tactical theory, the Lakers' use of off-court tactics has reached the point of being free to do as they please. It is enough to see him adjust his tactics and the immediate effect is enough.
It's the team every coach dreams of.
This is also the most headache and even the fear of every coach.
The coaches who followed the game off the court and in front of the TV stood in the position of the Heat and thought about a way out of the current predicament for the Heat coach, and they all frowned, like the Heat coach who was standing off the court. There was no movement for half a day.
No, unlike them, the Heat's coach has gradually developed a clue in his mind, and now his silence is waiting for an opportunity to seize and exploit.
In the eighth minute of the second quarter, Walton replaced Lore after a defensive foul under the basket. As an interior player, fouls are almost unavoidable, and in the Lakers' past games, Lore has been the player with the most fouls on the team in almost every game. He has yet to be sent off the pitch so far, though.
It was his third foul of the game.
The opportunity that the Heat coach was waiting for has finally arrived.
The Lakers are certainly the most perfect team and the most impeccable combination when they are all on the court, but are the Lakers still so flawless when one of the players is off the court? Or is it so uncontainable?
Not necessarily!
In all the logarithms that the Lakers have encountered before, there are many teams that want to invite one of them in various ways, but with the strength of these teams, the Lakers have not been able to win the game when they will take turns to play.
It's not a team with a lot of power, and even if the Lakers give them a chance, they can't take it.
The Heat clearly don't belong to that ranks.
Li Jing, Luoer and Liming, only one of these three people got off the field and turned into a double arrow, which was immediately equivalent to disintegration for the group. The combination of two first-class players is not uncommon among many strong teams in the NBA, and there is too much experience and too many ways to deal with this combination of the Heat. Even though the remaining two of them are more clever than the top players. But after all, it's much easier to deal with.
Let them choose one of the three opponents, and most of them will choose the brain, the Lakers' on-court commander Dawn, to get off the court. However, Dawn has always been regarded as one of the most gentlemanly and civilized players in the NBA, and his fouls have always been the fewest of the team's main players. (To be continued.) )
