Chapter 366: A Victory That Looks Normal
Jason is actually acquiescing to some facts in the face of Gong Feng's defense, especially now that Jason has been abandoned by the two teams, but I don't know if such a choice is Jason's luck or misfortune.
In the first two games, Jason's approach was to fully confront Gong Feng, from rhythm, attack, passing to controlling the progress of the game, but after this game, Jason chose to avoid Gong Feng's strong choice, but use the ability of the whole team to guide the direction of Gong Feng's attack and disrupt the rhythm that Gong Feng represents.
From the beginning of adopting this tactic, in fact, Jason has recognized Bow Peak's position in the league, and also admitted that Bow Peak's strength is above it, and it is above himself in the field he is best at, even if it is the imagination of passing.
Jason does not provoke in his own offense, does not deliberately use defense to seek the weakness of Gong Feng, does not forcibly use his own offense to make Gong Feng at a loss, and adopts the whole team defense on the defensive end to strangle Gong Feng's offensive desire, which all of this is to illustrate Jason's psychological gap and changes.
Gong Feng was a little silent, and an inexplicable emotion also started from Jason's defense, affecting Gong Feng's state of mind in the game.
The Knicks, who began to change tactics, lacked deadly bloodlust and desire to win, and they began to be slowly eaten away by the Heat team from this time.
Riley is a master tactical coach and a ruthless man who sees his direction and doesn't change easily. Especially when seeing the Knicks' 'relaxation' at the beginning and the state of the players, it is also from this moment that Riley is no longer seeking to win a game, but to think about the future of the team in this round.
The first half of this game was generally quite 'anxious', the score began to rise alternately after the Heat led by eight points, the Knicks seemed to be able to move the score back with a little force, and the Heat's spirit did not dare to relax in the slightest, for fear of losing their rhythm because of their own mistakes.
The Knicks' substitution is the normal rotation of the team, although in terms of the score, the Knicks are on the losing side, but whether it is the Knicks fans or the players who play on the court, they all think in their hearts that such a score can be moved back as long as they exert a little more effort.
The Heat's rotation is a little different, Riley seems to be looking for more rest for the core players, and also agrees with the power of the rotation players.
Peyton, Shanton? Anderson, Posey and Mourning were all heavily used in this game, although Payton didn't work so hard against Paul, and Paul's breakthrough offense could enter the scope of Riley's calculations, but the final result was completely in the imagination of God Operator.
When O'Neal and Wade had enough physical strength in the final moments, and when the Heat's perimeter could provide the necessary help for the two of them, the Heat's finishing ability in the final moments of the game was not ordinarily strong.
Especially when the referee intentionally or unintentionally makes the game look tense but under his control, when the Heat's Wade has made up his mind, he has actually decided something, and it is not so surprising that the Heat team won a game that only won by five or six points.
Mill frowned at Wade and O'Neal's performance at the end, and the two who looked poor at the beginning of the game actually performed extremely well in the end, especially in the referee's very tight whistle.
Mir watched his players launch a strong counterattack at the last moment, but when the team's defense was not very effective, even if they could tie the Heat on the offensive end, there was no way to win, Mill fell into deep thought.
……
"The Heat's performance is within their average data, O'Neal and Wade's data are not super long, our performance cannot be regarded as abnormal, and everyone's data can't see anything, if you have to say something, it's that our defense is a little tepid, so that the Heat's offense can be played!" Gentry looked at the data in his hand, and after some assistant coaches' predictions and reports, he first expressed his opinion.
This kind of summary has slowly become a tradition for the team, especially in games where the score gap is not very large, and after losing, it will be more intensified, let alone in the face of a major game such as the Eastern Conference Finals.
"Our defense is indeed a little tepid, it has to do with the referee's whistle today, and it has to do with the mentality of the players, but I don't think there is anything wrong with our attack, we relied too much on the three points at the beginning, and our offensive mode seems to be very single, even if our individual ability is very strong, but in some moments of handling the ball, we show some self!"
Thibodeau then developed his own opinion, after Gentry stayed, under the team's victory, the two have not been so 'opposed' for a long time.
Mir just frowned and looked at the data in his hand, as if he hadn't heard the insights of his 'subordinates', and didn't say anything for a long time.
It wasn't until the two of them saw Mir like this that the two of them also stopped talking and waited for Mir to continue arranging.
In fact, it is very easy to find the reason for the loss of the game, and even in each round, it seems that you can find one or two detailed problems, the player is not a machine, as long as the game can be won, it is enough to make these problems no longer a problem.
This game was also an unexpected situation, and the quarrel between the two only covered up the fundamental problem, and it was not an argument.
The root cause of this game is that there is some new change in the psychology of the Knicks players, two championships in three years and a second place in the East, these results are enough to make the core of a team and the players have a sense of pride, even if this pride is not visible in normal times, but in the key game rounds, it is always manifested at some moments, such as the players' casual handling of the ball, and for example, in some moments, the extreme self-confidence shown...... The self-confidence that has accumulated over a long period of time is a good thing most of the time, but in some moments it is a weakness that can be exploited.
In this year's regular season, if it weren't for the 'unexpected strength' of Gong Feng's performance, the aspirations of some rookie players for the future, and the honor and restraint of the main team itself, the Knicks would not have gotten such a good result.
The Knicks' new season needs new excitement to make the Knicks go further in the regular season, but under the accumulation of long-term victories, it still makes newcomers and old people have a certain psychology, even if they are not too careful. (To be continued.) )
