Chapter 747: The Vampire Count
At this time, Van Gundy kept shaking his head, it seems that his position has been seen through by the opponent, once the opponent sees through his false strength in the half, then he will definitely strengthen the rhythm, and strengthen the defense in the half, forcing the team to make mistakes is a fast attack.
Van Gundy's guess was right, and that's what Spoelstra thinks now, yelling at his players on the touchline:
"Pick up the tempo, defend and be proactive!"
Putting Spoelstra's words together, it is not difficult to imagine that there is such a practice after the active defense and the acceleration of the pace later, at this time Van Gundy also gestures to his teammates, asking his players to play more cautiously.
When the Pelicans wanted to return to the offense this time, Wade had Spoelstra's arrangement, and his defensive offense was even stronger, just when Oladipo was dribbling, he stepped forward several times in a row to harass, fortunately, Oladipo's quick reaction did not let Wade succeed, but when the dribble came over, it was several seconds later than usual.
Oladipo usually hands over the basketball to Brewer after halftime, but he didn't expect Wade to pay attention to himself on this side, and Ray Allen, who was over-energetic, actually began to take the first two steps to cut off his connection with Brewer.
Oladipo himself dribbled the ball and fought hard against Wade's defense, Brand watched Oladipo in the low post to deal with it more difficult, and he kindly came out of it to cover Oladipo!
Oladipo saw that Brand came out to help him, and he was really overjoyed, and he took advantage of Brand's familiarity to shake off Wade behind him.
However, Oladipo was after shaking off Wade. The route that Justbrand stepped back was a very good way to cut in, and Oladipo quickly passed the basketball to Brand's hands.
After Brand received the basketball, he also saw that there was a path in front of him. As long as he can cut in, he can give the opponent a fatal blow, at this time, Brand received the ball and slashed towards the Heat's inside, at this time, looking at Brand, who rushed up, Haslem felt that he finally had another chance to take revenge, and ran over from the side, originally if Brand's offensive skills were proficient, he didn't care about Haslem's defense at all. But the problem is that Brand doesn't attack at all, and even if he has half a body in front of him, he doesn't have the ability to complete the attack.
Because he doesn't make one-handed layups. will not dodge in the air, Haslem blocked, that is, both hands feel the ball on the rebound, this wipe can be said to be inaccurate. There is no guarantee of any posture either. The basketball landed on the edge of the basket, rolled twice and jumped out.
The basketball was picked up by Haslem just in time, and although Brand didn't score, he was conscious!
Although he blamed himself for wasting a great opportunity, he was still clever enough to stick in front of Haslem and interfere with his pass.
If the first pass is disrupted, the opponent's fast attack will be delayed, and then the team will gain enough time. At this time, the time was one, and Brand went up and was in front of Haslem.
The war between Haslem and Brand. Looks like it was Haslem who just won!
But Haslem, who picked up the basketball, found that he didn't have a route to pass the ball at all, and he couldn't form a fast break, so he would immediately fall into the Pelicans' half-court quagmire at halftime.
When Haslem was blocked by Brand on the baseline, Spoelstra secretly screamed badly, while Van Gundy yelled wonderful, Brand's method of delaying the opponent's first pass was very simple and delayed the Heat's fast break.
At this time, Wade, who had realized that he could only win by speeding up the pace, rushed to the bottom line, and this time Haslem finally had another chance to pass the basketball.
At this time, Oladipo was a beat slower, and if he delayed it a little longer, the Heat's fast break would be completely costly, but now that Wade received the basketball, the whole form changed.
After Wade got the basketball, he turned around and stuffed it, Ray Allen, and then Ray Allen turned around and ran, the Heat's fast break was still played, and after the rhythm was stopped by Brand, it immediately unfolded as fiercely and quickly as a rushing river.
Ray Allen ran wildly, and the American Airlines Center made a noise in advance before Ray Allen scored.
Hubbie Brown is yelling:
"Ray Allen is attacking again, he's coming again, does it mean that the Heat have found a way to deal with the Pelicans, does it mean that the Pelicans don't have a little bit of defense in the fast pace?"
Hubbie Brown is shouting excitedly here, and the American Airlines Center is clamoring, all of which stimulate Ray Allen's desperate run!
But at this time, Caron Butler still caught up, and he struggled to catch up with Ray Allen, abandoning his defenders, as if they were lightning, just when the American Airlines Center was expecting Ray Allen to score again.
Ray Allen passed the ball, the route of the ball has been backwards, when the basketball reached the target location, people saw that the end point was actually Lewis, at this time the old gun Lewis came to the edge of the three-point line, directly after Lewis received the basketball, calmly shot, as if he was not shooting three points, just a small joke of practice.
Lewis's shot was so easy, but the arc of the basketball was so accurate, with a whoosh, it had already fallen into the Pelicans' basket, and the Heat actually overtook it!
The Heat overtook the score all of a sudden, and at this time, Van Gundy immediately realized that his team's weakness was fully exposed, and what he was playing was playing fast-paced basketball, that is, he was going to drag down his perimeter.
At this time, Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout and changed his substitute lineup back! When Oladipo and Brewer ran back to the bench together, Oladipo said apologetically:
"I'm sorry! Jeff, I didn't look at Wade,"
Van Gundy patted Oladipo on the shoulder and said:
"It's not your responsibility! The next time you meet Wade, you'll know how to defend him! β
Van Gundy, who has always been stern, actually said such a thing, which made Oladipo very excited. Because it shows that the team has a long-term plan for themselves and has some confidence in themselves, Oladipo sat down in the chair with gratitude.
Then Van Gundy and his team said:
"Gentlemen! It's time for us to change tactics! Derrick Rose, you replace Oladipo. Gilbert Arenas you go for Brewer! β
When Van Gundy said this, Li Feng stood up, he thought that he would also replace Caron Butler, but he didn't want to fly to Van Gundy looked at Li Feng twice and said:
"Li Feng! You need to take a break! CuarΓ³n's table just now was great, and CuarΓ³n continued to stay on the field! β
Saying this, Li Feng's eyes widened in surprise, but at this time, Kalombate laughed. He laughed and said:
"Li Feng! Well, now your playing time is all mine! β
Li Feng reluctantly returned to his chair, and then Van Gundy swept his eyes over Brand and said:
Brand also stayed. Al replaces Henson, and now we can finally pick up the tempo a little bit, Derrick protects the basketball, Gilbert knows how to deal with Ray Allen! β
Arenas nodded. He knew it very well. How to deal with a gentleman's sword like Ray Allen!
The game between the two teams restarted, Van Gundy's substitution was not a complete substitution, but still used some good substitutions, Van Gundy mainly only replaced the ball control ability and defensive ability are stronger, so that the Heat's strengthened defense and fast offensive process can not play.
Van Gundy has changed half of the guys here, Spoelstra has also retained Dwyane, Wade and Ray Allen here, the small forward has been replaced by LeBron James, and the big forward has been retained by Haslem. Then he pushed Chris Anderson on top.
Spoelstra's substitution strategy is the opposite of Van Gundy's, who strengthened the back line. Spoelstra, on the other hand, is strengthening his strikers.
Li Feng himself did not play, he knew in his heart that Van Gundy was afraid that his body would not be able to support the fourth quarter, and he was now protecting himself, so there was nothing to complain about.
Li Feng was sitting there just as he was about to enjoy the game, when he felt that there was a person next to him arching back and forth, leaning towards his side, Li Feng looked back very uncomfortably, and just happened to see Oladipo, and almost put his face on his face.
Li Feng looked at Oladipo like this, and he asked very strangely:
"Count Victor, look at what I'm doing, don't go to the game!"
There is also a vampire Victor in "Tales of the Night", so Li Feng gave him a resounding nickname.
Oladipo didn't feel himself at all and asked Li Feng:
"Li Feng! You will be my master in the future, and today you taught me to deal with Wade, and I actually scored on his head, that is Wade! β
"I'm sorry, I only accept female apprentices!"
Li Feng actually didn't think that Oladipo himself really had a good talent for fast shooting, when people taught Oladipo, it was pure luck, how could he have seriously thought about anything, so now Oladipo is grateful to himself, Li Feng still feels very embarrassed in his heart, of course, he won't say it!
"But, Li Feng! I have a question, can you help me improve my defensive skills! At least let Dwyanwade not be so arrogant. β
Hearing Oladipo say this, Li Feng felt that it was really a problem!
He taught Oladipo to shoot, and then he had to teach defense himself, but defense is something! If you want to become a defensive master, then the subjective will to defend is the first, and then there is a physical element, and there is a physical element to defend, a child can't let go of an adult at all, and a small man doesn't want to compete with a big man on the inside, and finally it's technology!
Thinking of this, Li Feng turned his head to look at Oladipo, this guy is still relatively hard-working, and he also wants to let go, the first condition is met, the second condition Oladipo is a little thin, and Wade is very disadvantaged, so he can only rely on team defense.
Li Feng thought of these in his mind, and immediately said to Oladipo:
"Victor, it's really difficult to deal with Wade in your current physical condition, but as long as you can take advantage of the help of your teammates, you can think of some ways to make Wade uncomfortable, it's still no problem,"
What Li Feng said was to let Oladipo use a little skill, but at this time Oladipo completely understood it wrong!
He thought that Li Feng was going to use some little black hands by himself. So Oladipo smiled maliciously at Li Feng and said:
"Li Feng! I thought you had always been an upright man, but I didn't expect to use some auxiliary means! β
Li Feng thinks Oladipo is clever! He didn't say anything, but he had another layer of worry in his heart. This Oladipo can't find himself in offense, and he can't find himself if he can't defend it, so he doesn't have to find himself in the future, but he is not a savior, and he will definitely not always be able to help Oladipo, it seems that in the future, let Oladipo solve the problem by himself!
While Li Feng and Oladipo were communicating, the Pelicans began to attack in the Heat's half. Now the Pelicans' lineup has become very aggressive, with everyone but Brand shooting the basketball. And they are all relatively stable scorers, but to Spoelstra's surprise, at this time the Pelicans played a reverse thinking, that is, the more the Heat felt that Brand was old. The more the Pelicans devised a tactic for Brand.
The Pelicans' maneuvers and running positions have lifted the Heat's defensive experience to the high post and left side. Brand was abandoned on the right baseline like an outcast, and just when everyone was paying attention to Al Jefferson getting the basketball in the low post, Al Jefferson suddenly made a pass and stuffed the basketball to Brand's side!
Brand didn't have any feints after receiving the ball, dribbled and went to the basket in one step, Brand's movements were definitely not fast, and the means of making a layup were also the simplest civilian layups, but Brand's ball. It's just the surprise that wins.
Spoelstra was tactically unprepared, Chris Anderson was mentally unprepared!
No one thought that at this time, Brand would suddenly come up and attack the basket. When Brand suddenly attacked, it was like a flash flood, and no one could stop it, so he could only watch Brand easily score two points.
At this time, Hubi Brown saw Brand's easy layup, and laughed,
"Jeff, who has always been known for being stubborn, is now becoming more and more flexible in terms of tactics! Now he actually took advantage of inertial thinking, and the unexpected effect caught the heat off guard! β
"Yes! But did you see it, Brand's partner Henson is also a young man with potential! β
Antoine Walker is now paying more and more attention to the Pelicans.
"But you know, investing in a big man is a very risky business, and it will be heartbreaking if the investment fails, and the Pelicans have Al and Paul on the inside, and Henson's future is in the future!"
"However, Henson is still young, he is more malleable than Al and Paul, who are already formed, and if he can shoot threes, wow, ......"
Antoine Walker insisted on his point of view and fantasized about making Henson a kite fat like him.
Hubie Brown and Antoine Walker were arguing about Henson's question, and Oladipo continued to ask some questions in Li Feng's ear, but by this time LeBron had already received the basketball.
LeBron played very hard in the first quarter, he has never played a game so hard, even when he met a strong defensive team, the opponent couldn't help himself, but today is different, today LeBron encountered a problem, Li Feng's strength is not lost to himself, explosive power is not lost to himself, and his footsteps are not lost to himself, he can suppress himself in all aspects.
Although he found a way to deal with Li Feng later, he failed to attack twice in a row in the first quarter, and the anger of being chased and intercepted by Li Feng was still burning in LeBron's chest, LeBron himself even knew that there was no reason, that is, he was a little humiliated, but he just couldn't hold back and vented the fire in his stomach, as if someone was angry and wanted to kick the wall twice.
LeBron dribbled like this, brewing his anger in his chest, and looked in front of him, what kind of opponent Caron Butler is LeBron has his own judgment, but at this time he still couldn't help but glance at Li Feng, who was gossiping with Oladipo.
Li Feng, who was chatting, suddenly had a strange feeling, so he raised his head and looked for that wonderful feeling, now Dribbling LeBron was looking at him, so a trace of fire appeared in Li Feng's eyes, natural enemies are incompatible,
This is the first time that Kalombbutler has faced a monster like LeBron today, and he also followed Li Feng's example to put his center of gravity very low, and then pulled away a little distance to judge LeBron's direction. LeBron saw Caron Butler's posture, and suddenly there was a little anger in his heart, that Li Feng trapped himself in a cage, do you want to trap yourself too? Is it possible that anyone will push themselves into a desperate situation?
LeBron was so angry, so wanted to vent, he dribbled and looked at Clauon Butler! But the anxiety and the feeling of wanting to vent made him not wait so long, and suddenly started, and fiercely pounced on Kalombbutler.
Kalombbutler moved, and then he immediately realized that he had learned a wrong object, and he couldn't stop LeBron in this way!
At the moment of physical contact, his body collapsed uncontrollably.
This is the most non-lying force in the world to play a role again, and Caron Butler can't resist!
LeBron's absolute dominance power, so he could only be crushed over, watching LeBron rush to his own three-second zone.
When he crushed Kaloon Butler, a trace of refreshment rose from his heart, this was the first time in today's game that he returned to his usual cheerfulness, and his opponent couldn't stop his breakthrough at all. (To be continued......)
