Chapter 416: Tactics Begin to Show Their Might
Li Kaiming made an extreme rescue, not only rescued the ball that was about to fly out of the bottom line, but also successfully scored a layup with a very coquettish change of hands, this scene stunned everyone on the court!
Especially Bosh, who defended Li Kaiming, was so angry that his face turned green!
Damn, my Northern Dragon King finally forced this guy into a corner, can he let him in?
And the passing card still maintained the calm that his facial paralysis should have at this time, and this calm and relaxed appearance made James standing next to him look up at him!
This kid handles the ball! Underestimate this facial paralysis!
In fact, at this time, Leonard, his two hands were hidden behind him, trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but send out a soul torture to himself in his heart:
Am I grass? This goal scored? My assists? Could it be that I can really handle the ball?
Seeing Li Kaiming on the opposite side running over to high-five him, Leonard swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then stretched out his hand at Li Kaiming, and at this time, Li Kaiming on the opposite side also stretched out his hand......
Syllable!
A striking sound sounded, and Leonard's body was shocked!
Li Kaiming slapped Leonard's ass with anger, "You kid, what kind of bird ball did you pass?" You just threw it on the timer! ”
Li Kaiming would never have thought at this time that his casual words of ridiculing Leonard would be realized by a guy who looks like a sewer turtle in the future......
The opposite Heat team served, handed the ball to James after going to the frontcourt, and saw James get the ball, the entire defensive formation of the Wizards took a step inside, no way, who let the great Kings not pass the outside skills.
However, at this time, James is at the peak of his body after all, even if the Wizards stick to the inside, and there are big lock-level defensive guards such as small cards on the outside, he still successfully broke through to the basket, and then scored against Leonard and Blatch!
Even Li Kaiming next to him was a little smacked when he saw this scene, James's physical talent is indeed terrifying, and if he doesn't play basketball and go to the construction site to move bricks, I'm afraid he can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month!
After scoring the goal, James jumped sideways to the backcourt, while bending his left arm to show off his well-developed upper arm muscles to the camera, which is the usual celebration of NbA players to show their strength, but I don't know why James made it a little weird......
After watching it for a while, Li Kaiming finally understood, it turned out that it was because others were running forward or backward like normal people, and James was walking sideways......
The Wizards served to the frontcourt, Hinrich held the ball and Li Kaiming played tactical cooperation, this time the Heat team was well prepared, not only Chalmers and Bosh came to defend, but James Wade, who was standing on the bottom line, also put most of their attention on the top of the arc, ready to come over and wrap Li Kaiming at any time.
It seems that after a hard training in the offseason, Spoelstra's defensive philosophy has been updated a lot, and it can be seen that at least he has put a lot of effort into how to defend Li Kaiming.
But what Spo didn't consider was that Li Kaiming, who led the team with his own offense last season, would completely change his style of play this season, and the Wizards' off-ball running tactics were more than 100 times richer than last season.
After Li Kaiming's blocking, Hinrich hit the ball from Bosh's crotch and passed the ball to Li Kaiming, at which time Thompson and Leonard on the outside began to cooperate without the ball.
Blatch stood on the bottom line, Leonard gave Thompson a cover at forty-five degrees, Wade knew that Thompson had an outside shooting threat, so he had to follow, Leonard's first cover did not block Wade, but Thompson's running position was not over, Wade squeezed Leonard, and was about to catch up with Thompson, and a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him!
Exactly the bottom line of Blatch!
Blatche's 213 standard center height and size are placed here, Wade is impossible to avoid even if he is flexible, Thompson successfully used two consecutive covers to pocket to the bottom corner of the other side, Li Kaiming was waiting for this moment, and directly transmitted to Thompson.
After Thompson received the ball, he adjusted his feet on the spot, and then jumped up and shot smoothly, and with a bang, the Wizards hit the first three-pointer of the night!
2 to 7!
Wizards head coach Saunders next to the bench applauded and celebrated, Thompson's performance completely exceeded his expectations, although the average points per game was not as high as the previous Nick Young, but the understanding of tactics, especially the awareness of running without the ball, is not much higher than Nick Young!
The Heat served from the baseline, and the Big Three discussed a few words as they walked, and it could be seen that LeBron James was very unhappy with missing this three-pointer, and he opened his mouth to Wade and Bosby while dribbling.
However, this level of miscommunication was just a small episode for the Heat Big Three, and the great king quickly took care of his internal affairs and then came to the front court to drive in person.
This time James decided to come by himself, but he also found that the facial paralysis rookie he was opposite did not seem to be a good target to mess with, at least certainly not a good target for a list fight, so James waved his hand, and point guard Chalmers came over to block Leonard.
This style of play has been played almost throughout James' career, and his ability to catch mismatches is perhaps unmatched in his entire history, coupled with a good sense of passing, which has caused opposing players to dare not trap him and empty his teammates.
But the current Heat obviously does not have the space environment for James to rest assured that he is going to go out of position, Chalmers's blocking did not let Leonard and Hinrich change their defenses, but they unanimously chose to let Chalmers go, James did not hesitate to distribute the ball to Chalmers who was vacant at the top of the arc, and the latter showed a hesitant expression on his face after receiving the ball, and found that Hinrich was about to come before he reluctantly shot!
However, looking at Chalmers's constipation-like expression, this way of shooting should not be his liking.
The ball smashed into the basket and didn't score, and Joel Anthony and Blatch under the basket fought fiercely for even an inch of space.
It's a pity that in addition to the two of them, there are two other people who are also eyeing the rebound, Li Kaiming and Leonard rushed to the basket almost at the same time, and Li Kaiming's height and arm span advantage allowed him to pick up the rebound.
After passing the ball to Hinrich, Li Kaiming patted Leonard's waist again, "Good rebounding awareness!" ”
Leonard still has a paralyzed expression on his face, but he is actually happy to death!
Wow! Lee actually complimented me!
In his memory, Li Kaiming has always easily beaten him in every heads-up training, and then left a "rookie" in a flying manner, never praised him, but I didn't expect to praise him today!
Although Li Kaiming's voice was small and his movements were slight, this scene was keenly captured by Thompson, who was passing by.
Thompson couldn't help but clench his fists, why don't you praise me if I shoot a three-pointer, and you praise me for grabbing a rebound with facial paralysis?
Right! It must be that I didn't score enough threes!
It was very easy for Clay to find the source of the problem, and then he secretly made up his mind that I was going to hit more shots, and I wanted to be complimented by Lee!
The Wizards went to the frontcourt and started with the same tactics, and this time the Heat had very good defensive communication, and Thompson's off-ball movement did not run out of space.
James was secretly smug as he loudly commanded his teammates to defend.
I have to be in command, as long as I personally go out to fight, what tactics can't be prevented?
Just as James was stinky and farting, the facial paralysis standing next to him suddenly disappeared, and James looked back, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
It turned out that the Wizards' tactics had changed, and Thompson's off-ball did not run out of space, but in order to defend him, the Heat team followed him for a while, and then defended Thompson after Wade got rid of the cover, that is, in this process, Leonard was always in a state of being empty.
And Thompson's running position created space for Leonard, and he cut directly to the basket according to the tactical drill, and Li Kaiming hit the ball to Leonard, who hit the board and hit a layup before James arrived!
This move was given to him by Li Kaiming, and Leonard still remembers what Li Kaiming said at the beginning.
"Just your handwork, don't think about throwing it into the basket when you go to the basket, and when you see that box mark on the rebound, you just aim at it, and the shooting percentage is much higher than your shooting......"
After more than a month of regular season practice, Leonard has now mastered the art of playing the board and layup, and the layup is getting more and more difficult, and he is getting farther and farther away from the basket.
The Heat attacked, didn't score for half a day, the ball was finally given to Wade, in the face of Thompson's single defense, Wade directly changed direction to the basket, and then feint to point Thompson to cause a foul and score!
This is the common problem of rookie players, lack of physical confrontation and little experience, it is easy to be deceived by the old birds to foul, and the rookie player also has a problem is to play too Sven, just now the ball for Li Kaiming, he jumped up and should directly press Wade, foul to the end, it is best not to let him shoot, if it is a ruthless player, he will even use a big foul to make the opponent afraid.
Wade walked to the free throw line and hit a free throw, 5-9, Coach Spo on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the team score, and he was going to call a timeout if the ball didn't go in.
The Wizards served to the frontcourt, this time there was no blocking, Li Kaiming asked for the ball on the outside and prepared for a heads-up, after all, he had been looking forward to this game for a long time, if he didn't let him score more points, wouldn't it be in vain?
As soon as Bosh saw Li Kaiming's posture, the fear of being dominated by Li Kaiming immediately surged in his heart, so he hurriedly followed, and yelled at his teammates without looking back!
"Help me with the defense!"
Bosh simply shouted the most cowardly words in the most domineering voice, if there was an audience whose native language was not English, he would definitely think that Bosh was saying, "Don't come here, I can prevent him!" ”
The Heat's defensive response is also very fast, and James's Leonard is no threat on the outside, so he stands directly not far from Bosh, as long as Li Kaiming breaks through to the basket, James can help defend as soon as possible.
At this time, the audience at the American Airlines Arena also began to help the Heat players defend, and they still remember the record set by Li Kaiming here last season, which was simply riding the Heat's face output!
So when the resentful Heat fans saw Li Kaiming getting the ball and preparing to go head-to-head, they stood up one after another to make noise, and kept shouting with the dJ on the scene.
"Defend! Defend! Defend! ”
Li Kaiming started, he changed the direction of his body a little to find a rhythm, Bosh lowered his center of gravity and was unmoved, so Li Kaiming stretched out his arm to dribble and made a posture of a large change of direction, Bosh's body shook violently, and then his feet immediately reacted, adjusting in advance in the direction he predicted.
It's a pity that Li Kaiming is just a feint, he suddenly closed the ball and pulled it out on the spot after the suspension dribble, and then hit a three-point shot under the gaze of Bosh like ashes!
5 to 12!
The American Airlines Arena was instantly quiet!
