Chapter Seventy-Nine: Super Far Three-pointer, Stopping the Heat Three Times in a Row
The goal was scored to Eric Spoelstra's slight relief, at least not without a single effect.
But what keeps Eric Spoelstra from relaxing too much is the Warriors' next offensive round.
"And what tactics will it be?"
Eric Spoelstra frowned.
Su Chen's recent tactics are very rich and diverse, many of them are tactics that have not appeared before, and there is no conventional response plan.
The thought of this makes Eric Spoelstra a little tired.
All of Su Chen's tactics are not fixed, and it is difficult for players to deal with them except for calling a timeout.
That's when Curry gave the ball to Thompson at the top of the arc.
This formation looks very familiar!
After seeing Curry cut inside while also seeing Draymond Green and Azeri standing, Eric Spoelstra immediately realized something.
"It's an elevator door tactic!"
Eric Spoelstra reacted immediately as soon as he saw Curry's run.
But before he could say anything, he saw Curry squeeze through the elevator door and get a three-point chance.
Curry, who ignited the heat zone, has a big increase in three-point ability.
Brush!
Warriors 9:2 Heat.
Honk!
Eric Spoelstra didn't hesitate at all and called another timeout.
This is the finals, and now that the decision is lost, there is no tolerance for him to see two rounds first.
If the point difference is widened at the beginning, this game will not be played.
Su Chen's expression was calm, and Eric Spoelstra called this timeout, which was more decisive than he expected.
But that's what he thought about.
Su Chen took the tactics board and continued to lay out the tactics.
Eric Spoelstra will certainly have a defensive set-up for the elevator door and he will have to update his strategy.
[Hot Zone Ignition] lasts for one minute, and only the time it is carried out on the field is counted.
Timeouts, serves, and free throws are all times that do not count towards the [Hot Zone Ignite].
At the same time, Su Chen also changed his defensive strategy to a pressing steal.
In the minute that Curry's hot zone was ignited, he couldn't let too much time on the court be consumed by the heat, and Su Chen would rather turn on the scramble mode.
It will give up some two-point points, but it will save Curry one minute to light up the hot zone and allow Curry to make more three-point shots.
Pause back.
Eric Spoelstra has a new strategy in place, and he's ready to let the Heat settle down first and play slowly on the offensive back.
But as soon as they served, the Warriors pressed the defense all over the court.
"It's not a foul round, and it's not his five-man lineup, so why defend the whole court at this time?"
O'Neill, who was on the commentary seat, was stunned.
The whole court pressed the defense, and the Heat could only play fast.
By passing the ball, Wade found a basket opportunity and scored an easy layup.
Warriors 9:4 Heat.
The goal was scored, and the Heat spent a total of five seconds.
The main Warriors are not only a full-court pressing defense, but also a gamble-style defense with all the players making steals, so it is a must to play when there is an opportunity.
If you don't punish the Warriors for this defensive style, then the Warriors' steals will be even more ferocious.
The Warriors were beaten by a two, and instead of trying to stabilize themselves with the offensive round, they made a quick serve.
Curry gave the ball to Thompson, and the Warriors were in another elevator door position.
"Come back!"
Eric Spoelstra didn't expect that he had just sneaked a ball and hit the elevator door.
Eric Spoelstra has set up a defensive rotation that may not be able to be blocked, but he can still make some restrictions.
The Warriors' elevator door tactic, Eric Spoelstra has also studied, unless the referee blows the block and the scale suddenly rises.
Otherwise, if you want to completely prevent this elevator door tactic, you basically can't do it.
The reason why Eric Spoelstra called this timeout so urgently was because through the last round, he saw that the referee's scale was not very strict.
In the last round, the Warriors' pick-and-roll was at the level of blow-free or not-blow, but the referee did not choose to blow.
It was Wade who was in charge of chasing Curry, and Wade saw Curry cut towards the basket while chasing Curry to prevent the ball from really cutting inside the basket.
At the same time, he looked at the position where Curry might run, and he wanted to use his strong athleticism to intercept Curry's running route.
This time, however, Curry didn't change course.
Curry didn't stop running all the way to Jefferson's position.
And Jefferson, who has already made a pick-and-roll move, is ready to cover Curry.
"Pay attention to the pick-and-roll, catch up!"
Eric Spoelstra spotted early and yelled on the sidelines.
But Curry bypassed Jefferson, Thompson's ball still didn't pass, and Curry didn't stop running.
Curry continued to run towards Thompson's position.
Thompson also ran towards Curry, who ran a cross-handed hand to cover Curry.
The Heat's defense is still chasing.
But then Curry continued to run down with the ball, bypassing Draymond Green's pick-and-roll and then Azery's pick-and-roll.
No Heat player can catch up.
In the library, there is an empty position, and you can choose to shoot directly.
Brush!
Curry was on fire, stood on his shooting hot zone, and hit another three-pointer.
Warriors 12:4 Heat.
And after the ball, Eric Spoelstra did not call a timeout, he was a little confused.
Can basketball still be played like this?
Just the whole Warriors team, made a three-point shot for Curry?
At this time, Curry didn't have time to celebrate, and once again threw himself into defense.
The Warriors took the full-court press.
I don't know if Curry's ball just now stunned the Heat, and Eric Spoelstra didn't call a timeout, and the Heat didn't pay enough attention on this serve.
Bosh's serve was broken by Draymond Green.
After the steal, Draymond Green didn't even think about it and went straight to Curry's position.
Curry was almost two steps from the three-point line, and there were no Heat players to catch up and defend.
After Curry received the ball, he shot a long-range three-pointer directly two steps away from the three-point line.
Throwing such an outrageous three-pointer in the finals, if it is replaced by any team, it will be criticized by the team.
Because the Heat defense is very chaotic at this time, if Curry is patient and relies on him to attract defense, Jefferson or Azeli will have the opportunity to score easily under the basket at this time.
But Curry was given unlimited firing rights by Su Chen within this minute, and he was even limited to shooting in any way or anywhere.
Curry also hid and chose a long-range three-pointer.
If the team loses if he can't shoot, Curry will definitely be ridiculed for making this choice in the Finals.
But.
Brush!
Entered!
Warriors 15:4 Heat.
Inside the Oracle Arena, a huge cheer erupted all of a sudden.
Such a huge cheer made Eric Spoelstra want to communicate with the players, but it was overshadowed by this huge cheer.
The Warriors started with momentum.
Honk!
Eric Spoelstra had no choice but to make a gesture to the referee asking for a timeout.
It was only a short time before the Heat were hit three timeouts in a row, and it didn't seem like a single timeout helped the Heat.
