Chapter 343: Scene 2
Today's Heat, in the starting lineup, made some slight changes, Kidd returned to the starter, and Bosh also returned to his accustomed position as a power forward, center, which was played by Anderson, who played well in the last game. But no matter how you change it, the fact that the Heat's interior line is weak still can't be changed. Therefore, in this game, the Hornets still carry out tactical arrangements for the Heat's interior line, or interior offensive tactics.
It may be a bit boring and less interesting, but this is the Grand Finals, winning the game is the most important thing, and if you want to see the game play well, the regular season and the preseason are both very good options.
But soon, Wang Meng found that the Hornets' interior offense today was no longer as good as in the last game.
As the saying goes, the same move can't be used twice in front of a Saint Seiya, and although the Big Three of the Heat are not Saint Seiyas, they still have a little in common in some aspects.
Today, the Heat used a trap tactic when dealing with the Hornets' strong interior attack, and the effect was very good.
It's not that the Heat are stupid, I didn't expect the bag in the first quarter, in fact, in the regular season game between the two sides, the Heat has tried to use the bag to limit the Hornets' twin towers, but Gasol, as a big man who can pass the ball, will certainly not be limited by a simple double bag, in the face of the bag, Gasol can always pass the ball back to other teammates to help other teammates create scoring opportunities, which also makes the Heat's double bag become a leak, for this reason, the Heat's bag has become timid.
But today, the Heat's bag has become extremely firm, even if you pass the ball to Gasol, then the score is a matter after the pass, at least now I can't let you score.
With this in mind, the Heat's outside players are particularly targeted at the Hornets' interior today, as long as Gasol or Oden receives the ball on the inside, there must be a man on the outside who will rush forward to cover the ball, and unless the ball carrier gives up the offense and passes the ball out, he will never stop.
Not only that, but the remaining two outside players also carried out joint defense against the three outside players of the Hornets to prevent Wang Meng and others from receiving the ball and rushing into the inside.
In this way, Wang Meng and the others felt at a loss.
The first game was played so smoothly that after the second game was targeted, the Hornets didn't even change it at the first time.
The Heat's defense put the Hornets in a difficult position, and the Heat's offense made the Hornets look helpless. In today's game, Wade finally broke out strongly, even if he was injured, Wade temporarily put his pain out of his body, and tried his best to lead the team to charge like a wasp inside.
Wade plus James, these two like small tank charges put a lot of pressure on the Hornets' interior defense, and when the game was only about 3 minutes into the game, Oden had already committed 2 fouls.
"No more! Tony, I'll switch guards with you. Wang Meng said seriously: "If it goes on like this, the Hornets will be too passive in this game."
Wang Meng's defensive skills may not be as good as Tony Allen, but in the case of instant explosiveness, Wang Meng's defensive Wade effect is still more advantageous than Tony Allen.
Defending Wade is a chore, and if you want to defend Wade, Wang Meng also needs to consume a lot of energy and physical strength, but now Wang Meng has to do this, because the current situation is a little bad, and the inside line cannot effectively play a certain advantage in the case of the Heat's package, and when Gasol points the ball to the outside, the outside players do not have a particularly good offensive opportunity.
This has to talk about a fatal weakness of the Hornets, although Wang Meng's three-point shooting rate is very high, and it is also one of the best three-point shooters in the league, but the three-point shooting rate of other players of the Hornets is very average, except for Fisher, none of the Hornets' players have an average three-point shooting rate of more than 40% per game, in fact, including Roy, Tony Allen, Wallace, Barnes, these Hornets are more major outside players, In the league's few seasons, he has rarely shot more than 35 percent from three-point range.
In other words, the Hornets' three-point shooting is not strong, except for Wang Meng's effective three-point point, the Hornets' three-point shooter is left with Fisher.
In this case, the effect of Gasol's distribution is minimized, and after the ball reaches the player's hands as soon as possible, the Hornets players shoot three points with average efficiency, and the players who break through the interior offense and pack the game also have a certain amount of time to catch up with the defense.
"It's so bad, I have to open it up! Let's start by locking Wade! Wang Meng said secretly in his heart.
The reason why the Heat is attacking is because Wade and James take turns to hit the basket on the court, these two guys, one is extremely strong, and the other is scary with fast feet, either of them rushing up is incomprehensible, let alone two together? Not to mention the Hornets, no team in the league can stand this situation.
Therefore, Wang Meng is ready to kill Wade, compared to James, Wade is obviously easier to deal with, after all, he still has an injury in his leg, the reason why he can break out such a strong strength is because of the perseverance that cannot lose, as long as Wang Meng can let Wade's breath out, Wade will be as dull as the previous game.
found that Wang Meng began to defend himself, Wade's eyes revealed some excited looks, as a top superstar in the league, Wade is not a person who easily admits defeat, and one after another planting on Wang Meng has made Wade very unhappy, Wade admitted that he really can't prevent Wang Meng on the defensive end, but if he is always restrained by Wang Meng on the offensive end, he really has no face to get tens of millions of annual salaries, even Kobe Bryant at his peak, he has never said that he has suppressed himself like this.
But although he thinks so, Wade can't think of any way to deal with Wang Meng in a short time, Wang Meng's often sudden monster-like explosive power is something Wade can't compete with, Wade's trick is lightning breakthrough, but no matter how fast Wade's breakthrough speed is, he will definitely not be able to get rid of Wang Meng, because Wang Mengbi Wade is a lot faster.
In the face of Wang Meng's defense, Kobe Bryant can use his excellent jump shooting ability to score, but Wade can't do it, Wade's jump shooting ability can only be described in general, although due to the rise of age, many of Wade's offenses on the court are mid-range jumpers, but this kind of shooting is obviously looking for death in the face of Wang Meng, who is 5 cm taller than himself and bounces far beyond himself.
If it is in the regular season, Wade can ignore the team's victory and play with Wang Meng, even if the team loses, at least his data will not be lower than Wang Meng, but now it is true that in the playoffs, every time he misses a shot or misses, it is very likely to lead to the failure of the game, for the championship, Wade has sacrificed a lot, and the formation of the Big Three has made Wade lose a lot of things, which cannot be made up for with just one championship.
Therefore, for the sake of the general situation, Wade still did not choose to single Wang Meng, but passed the ball to James.
Seeing Wade's pass, Wang Meng suddenly had a smile on his face. Wade doesn't choose to attack, it's obviously the best for himself, Parker's desperate offense in the Western Conference finals really made Wang Meng sweat, that kind of lifeless offense Wang Meng's defense needs to be turned on to explode instantly to consume physical strength, and the opponent can score without defense, which is really a very tangled situation.
If Wade is also like Parker, sparing no physical strength and ignoring the crazy attack of the hit rate, Wang Meng is really not sure that he can completely lock Wade without an instantaneous explosion, but with an instantaneous explosion, Wang Meng's physical strength is consumed too much, and the dominance will be correspondingly weakened on the offensive end.
"It's a really uncomfortable feeling." Wang Meng secretly said in his heart, in terms of defense, the Hornets' outside defense can almost be regarded as the strongest in the league, Wang Meng, Tony Allen, Wallace, plus a sixth man Roy, these four people's defense is one of the best in the league, and they are the core of defense in any team. However, when encountering a star with particularly strong offensive ability, the Hornets can often only sacrifice Wang Meng's move of opening up an instant defense at the expense of physical strength.
There are two main reasons for this, the first is that the Hornets are all individual defense masters, which also makes them not good enough at rotating defense, because they are confident to defend their opponents. The second point is that the head coach of the Hornets, Monty, as a rookie coach, his coaching ability cannot be said to be bad, but among the head coaches of 30 teams, he can only be regarded as average, and he and his assistant coaches can design and arrange defensive tactics, which are obviously not enough to kill the top stars of some teams.
These two points make the wasp often encounter this embarrassing situation.
Of course, this is just Wang Meng's own thorns, the current Hornets are strong enough, if they are really strengthened again according to Wang Meng's ideas, then the other teams in the league don't have to play anymore, just watch the Hornets play with the championship.
Even if Wang Meng is very unhappy now, there is no gap between the scores of the two sides, and the Heat James Wade and the two hit the inside line desperately, and in the end they only played a draw with the Hornets, which shows how strong the Hornets are, iron-blooded defense, stable and efficient offense, this is the Hornets' endorsement.
James singled Wallace, but it was still a waste of strength to get rid of this muscular man whose muscles were no less than his own, and he hit a mid-range shot.
The Heat made arrangements for the Hornets' interior attack, and the Hornets naturally did not have a tactic against the Heat, and what the Hornets were aimed at was the Heat's speechless three-point shot.
People really can't be compared, and the whole Hornets team is only Wang Meng who is reliable for three-point points, but the Heat does have a bunch of three-point reliability, not to mention anything else, this season's three-point shooting rate is more than 40 percent, and the Heat has 4 players, namely Kidd, Ray Allen, Miller and James, of which Ray Allen and Miller's three-point shooting rate is more than 45 percent.
Under these four people, the Heat also have several excellent three-point shooters, Wade averages 32 percent of three-point shooting per game, which can only be said to be average, while Chalmers averages 37 percent of three-point shooting per game, which can be considered qualified as a three-point shooter, and defensive expert Battier's three-point shooting rate is 39 percent, infinitely close to 40 percent.
This vote of three-point shooter really made the league a little speechless, once it was cast, it was unbearable for one person to throw a three-pointer.
Therefore, for the Heat's group of three-point shooters, the Hornets arranged a fairly targeted tactic to guard against three-point shooting.
No matter how you run, I'm sure to defend you from the three-point line, and if you have the ability, you're on the inside, or you're shooting on the outside against my defense.
This method looks stupid, but it is undoubtedly the most effective when facing a three-point shooter, and at the same time, the Hornets' interior line is not completely empty, Gasol may follow Bosh to the outside, but Oden will always guard the basket, no matter who tries to attack the basket, he will pass Oden.
Of course, this method has encountered a little trouble for the time being, because Oden has already committed two off-court games to play soy sauce, and the substitute is 03 parallel goods list Milicic, although this girl's defensive awareness is also very good, and there are some achievements in rebounding protection, but after all, there is a big gap compared to Oden, and Milicic alone cannot completely protect the Hornets' interior line.
"In this case, the whole defensive system is flawed no matter how you look at it." Wang Meng dribbled past half the court, but he was still thinking about defense. "Forget it! Since you can't defend it, use offense to make the Heat tired of defense! ”
It's still James who defends Wang Meng, no way, the Heat have practiced it many times, and it's really up to James to defend Wang Meng, others including Wade Battier and others, defending Wang Meng will only make it easier for Wang Meng to score.
Wang Meng stood in his position, glanced at the players, and found that Gasol was entangled by Bosh, Bosh was a rampant game, since the playoffs came, he had never played comfortably, playing with that team, and any inside confrontation, Bosh was at a disadvantage, how could this be acceptable to the All-Stars? This game Bosh is also a broken jar, damn, can't you suppress me and restrict my mother? Am I not attacking?! But I don't attack, and you don't want to attack! Bosh used the trick of burning all the jade and ending up together, using various methods, almost almost biting Gasol, coupled with the help of the outside players from time to time, Bosh really locked Gasol, although he did not score himself.
Wang Meng gave Gasol a look, and the latter understood and immediately ran out of the outside line to block Wang Meng.
Although a lot of inside attacks were used in the last game, the real strongest tactics of the Hornets are still Wang Meng and Gasol's blocking and dismantling tactics.
The red-eyed Bosh didn't notice this at all, and ran out after Gasol.
James was suddenly blocked by Gasol, he hurriedly took a step back, and Gasol wanted to catch up, but was stunned to find that Bosh should be in front of him. "I'm rubbing! Chris, what are you doing?! ”
"Huh?" Bosh woke up like a dream, he was already red-eyed, and said that Gasol ran out to shoot on the outside, who would have thought that Gasol would be a blocker at this time? It stands to reason that a player of Bosh's level would not make such a low-level mistake, but Bosh has put all his mind on how to defend Gasol and has neglected other situations.
Wang Meng didn't expect that it was just such a simple block, and he completely got rid of James, and the opportunity was not to be missed, Wang Meng, who was originally going to break into the inside, immediately stepped back and exited the three-point line, and shot three points outside the three-point line.
"Huh!" The basketball hit, Wang Meng suddenly laughed, can't you shoot three points? How does my three-pointer look?
"Bosh is really interesting, I think he took the black money from the wasps, right?" Barkley smiled and said, "I actually helped Wang Meng block and block James, this spy is very creative." ”
"Don't hurt Bosh, it's not easy for him, he played for half a day and didn't score a point, it's a very difficult thing to do, and I'm wondering how hard he worked to do it as a starting power forward." O'Neill shook his head, but his mouth was no better than Barkley's. "I can't imagine how he would have curbed his offense if it were me, working hard, and limiting his scoring to single digits at most?"
Smith: "You talk, I'll make soy sauce first." "No way, compared to the extremely evil duo of Barkley and O'Neill, Smith is definitely a good citizen, and he can't say such irritating words.
Back to the game, the Hornets' tactics of attacking the inside line did not work, so they launched a blocking and dismantling tactic dominated by Wang Meng and Gasol, as a reversal of the Jazz double-brake blocking and dismantling tactics, this blocking and dismantling tactic is really not so easy to prevent, mainly because there are too many follow-up changes after the blocking, Wang Meng plays alone, wears the ball to Gasol and then divides the ball, even the Heat cannot effectively limit the implementation of the blocking and dismantling tactics.
However, although there is no way to limit it, the Heat can still ensure their offensive rhythm, although Wade was temporarily contained by Wang Meng, but the other positions of the Heat do have a group of very good players, under the leadership of James, the Heat's offensive rhythm is not much worse than the Hornets.
This situation is too comfortable for the Hornets, but the Hornets are still sitting on Roy and because of the two fouls left early, this has already been gearing up Oh Ah and other two people, although the Heat also has Ray Allen, Battier and others, but on the surface, there is no doubt that the Hornets occupy a very big advantage, as long as the score can be ensured smoothly, then when the Hornets come off the bench, Roy, as the Hornets' biggest bench bandit, will definitely be able to create a satisfactory score gap for the Hornets' starting force.
