The game went on.

The score on the court is also led by the Timberwolves.

There is a minute and a half left in the first quarter.

Timberwolves 25:20 Heat.

Honk!

Su Chen called a timeout at this time.

This made Eric Spoelstra frown, this quarter was over soon, why did Su Chen suddenly call a timeout?

Pause back.

Su Chen made a substitution.

Timberwolves lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Lore Deng (PF), Chris Middleton (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

As for the Heat, the lineup has continued without changes.

The Heat don't have any people, and the long rotation is basically to fix those people.

As soon as the Timberwolves came back, they directly put on a 5out formation.

The 5out tactic, as the name suggests, is five people pulling away.

The ball carrier is alone at the top of the arc and the others are in a 45-degree corner.

The most basic requirement of this tactic is that everyone on the court has three points.

In addition to the one-on-one pulling away and eating alone, there are also various air cut tactics, as well as cover tactics.

Of course, these tactics are also added by analog glasses and tactical notes, so you don't have to worry about being rusty.

And when Giannis Antetokounmpo was on the floor, the Timberwolves played a 5out strategy, but they didn't start much because the restrictions on Giannis Antetokounmpo were better in the playoffs.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's 5out in the presence and Giannis Antetokounmpo's 5out in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo are two different styles of play.

In fact, the 5out tactic Su Chen thought about using it to beat the Heat from the beginning, but when Giannis Antetokounmpo was present, Su Chen did not launch it.

This tactic is very targeted for today's Heat.

Because the Heat's current group of older role players are all slow, and it is easy to keep up.

5out directly and simply emptied the paint area, so that the Heat's veteran players could not be mixed.

Sure enough, this set of tactics was very useful for the Heat.

The Heat were frequently broken through to score points in this minute and a half.

Especially the two points of Ray Allen and Lewis.

Ray Allen's defense is actually not a weakness, his career has always been an above-level defense, but now Ray Allen is 39 years old.

At the same time, Lewis is also 35 years old, and he also gets a veteran base salary.

For those two, they're still shooting those shots on the playoff stage, and you can't expect them to be like defensive giants.

Moreover, even in his prime, Lewis was not known for his defense.

End of the first session.

Timberwolves 33:25 Heat.

The Heat's score was under the Timberwolves' 5out tactics, and they put the weakness in front of the Timberwolves at once.

Except for Middleton, the Timberwolves all have the ability to break through efficiently on the inside, even if Middleton meets Lewis, he can play a dozen.

James glanced at the scoreboard, and he felt a feeling of weakness.

Even though he has worked hard to defend and assist in individual defense, and has to take on the heavy responsibility on the offensive end, he has worked hard to score two points and easily lose two points with a conversion offense.

This made James mentally unstable.

The last time I experienced this feeling was when he was in the Cavaliers, taking the Cavaliers to face the Spurs, whose GDP was still at its peak.

It was the same at that time, his teammates couldn't give him much support, and the opponent was able to score points with all the soldiers.

Even, this Heat team may not be as good as the original Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers had Big Z Zajunas Ilgoskas and Drew Gooden on the inside, and they were able to score some points each of them efficiently against Duncan's inside.

At the same time, the two teamed up, and they didn't let Duncan go too far on the inside, and they were a little restrictive.

But what about the current Heat?

Whoever saw Lewis on the other side looked very excited, picked up the ball and hit Lewis.

Although Bosh will not be named, his defense is not Duncan Garnett's kind of defensive system.

Wade can still score points, but not much.

The Cavaliers can take a look at the defensive end, and the defense of this Heat team is simply the kind that cannot be evaluated.

The role players are all older and slow to keep up.

And their physical exertion, all the way to the finals, also made their speed even slower.

It's not just that teammates can't compare to each other, even coaches can't compare to each other, which is what makes James the most angry.

From the very beginning of his arrival with the Heat, James has already expressed his displeasure with Eric Spoelstra.

Preconception is a big mountain.

Eric Spoelstra also didn't have much experience as a player, he didn't have the respect of James, or even the other giants.

During the break in the first quarter.

Eric Spoelstra wants to gather players, and he also wants to talk to James about setting up tactics.

However, James didn't seem to want to talk to Eric Spoelstra, took the drink and walked over to the bench.

When the Heat win, when the wind is down, these contradictions are covered up.

But in the current situation of the team, James has little patience to maintain the semblance of unity.

The truth is, his teammates didn't support him, and neither did his coach.

Eric Spoelstra couldn't help it, but he still took the tactical board and beckoned the others to walk towards James' place.

Eric Spoelstra is a more basketball-focused coach who doesn't care if James hits him or not.

At the beginning, when James bumped shoulders with him during the timeout, Eric Spoelstra also defended James in front of the media, saying that he didn't mean to.
