The Cavaliers are holding back their strength and want to get back on the field in this game.

After all, they lost too badly in the last game.

Lost by 58 points!

This is the largest margin in a single game so far this season.

The Cavaliers have been nailed to the Pillar of Shame and of course want to get back on the field in this game.

Can......

It's just that there is this idea.

In the face of reporters' inquiries, from head coach Scott to LeBron James, the "son of the city" of this team, they couldn't say anything ruthless.

The Cavaliers' recent record is indeed better than that of the Heat.

But the last game really left a shadow in their hearts, even if they had the idea of getting back on the field, they only thought about it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it at all.

Before this game, the toughest sentence on the Cavaliers' side came from head coach Scott.

He said:

"Do your best!"

If it's tougher than this, he really can't say it!

However, ESPN boldly predicted that LeBron James and the Cavaliers would have more chances of winning this game before the start of this game:

"The Heat haven't been in great shape lately, they've only won 1 of the last 4 games, while the Cavaliers have won 3 of the last 5 games, LeBron James's adaptability to the league is getting better, and the whole Cavaliers' tactics are around him, the Cavaliers have gone through the toughest phase, and that's where the Cavaliers win this game is the most critical:"

"How to use LeBron James well!"

It's also an old-fashioned one, first binding the Cavaliers' win to LeBron James, highlighting the importance of LeBron James to the Cavaliers.

And then add the phrase "how to use LeBron James well" just in case.

If the Cavaliers still lose, or even lose miserably, including LeBron James not playing well, this sentence can be used to explain the reason:

Didn't use LeBron well......

If you want to say that ESPN has some experience now.

No way, LeBron James's performance is indeed not as expected, and Woody's momentum is so ferocious, he still has to be coaxed.

But it should be blown or it must be blown!

What if LeBron James really played well in this game and the team won?

Well......

Now that LeBron James is reporting, they can only bet on probability.

It's just that LeBron James saw this report but had a chill behind him.

He felt like he was being targeted by something.

Not to mention, sometimes, this kind of hairy feeling is really accurate.

At the same time that LeBron James was furious, Stan Van Gundy once again reaffirmed to the rest of the team the defensive arrangement against the Cavaliers.

Just like the last game, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, everyone is dominated by LeBron James!

This defensive strategy is not deliberately aimed at LeBron for Woody, but the current Cavaliers have only one ball-handler and playmaker left since Ricky Davis left, and other outside players have no ability to handle the ball.

The Cavaliers' team environment is as LeBron James would have liked.

That's it......

Limiting LeBron James is equivalent to limiting the Cavaliers' tactical initiation point!

Especially from the analysis of LeBron James's technical characteristics.

Good at breakthroughs, almost no projection ability, the overall view of the organization needs to be improved......

So many deficiencies add up to four words:

Come and surround me!

How could Stan Van Gundy not use such a ready-made defensive trick?

On the night of the game, there were also a lot of posters and banners in the audience that are not usually seen, such as:

"The best rookie has to be Woody's!"

"Woody is the strongest of the 'Three Heavenly Pride'!"

"LeBron could get Rookie of the Year, but without Woody!"

……

Miamians at the scene rightly waved banners in their hands to cheer for Woody.

Woody took the initiative to walk over to LeBron James before the game and hugged him.

Speaking of which, when LeBron saw these banners, his whole mind was waiting for the game to start later. LeBron, who was already thinking of proving himself in this game, has added a little more motivation at this time.

He wants to make this group of Heat fans take the initiative to put away the banners in their hands through his performance.

Well!

Don't look at him facing media reporters, he can't let go of his arrogant words, but his heart has long been like a mountain of flames, burning until now.

If it weren't for Woody walking towards him, he would have forgotten that he and Woody were "good brothers"!

"Come on tonight, man, and hopefully contribute a good game!"

"You too, I still have to learn from you tonight!"

……

Just like the last time I hugged you, that smile, not to mention how intimate it was!

A reporter looked at the freeze-frame shot of the two of them hugging, and said directly: "The relationship between these two people is really good, and it will definitely become a legendary story in the future!" ”

The competition then officially began.

The first offense belonged to the Heat.

Wade came up and played pick-and-roll with Woody, and as the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two gradually became the main style of play for the Heat, more and more games were accumulated, and more and more samples were studied by other teams.

Knowing that after Wade's acceleration is over, the explosive power of the breakthrough is fierce and difficult to block.

Therefore, the opposing players who are now following Woody out will often directly change the defense and delay.

This goal, the Cavaliers' selection is the same.

Boozer stepped one step ahead of the free-throw line and waited for Wade to shoot himself.

Woody is directly opposite LeBron, and even if it's a downward move.

LeBron hurriedly followed, but Woody suddenly ran back at this time, and this feint shook LeBron, who was in the right position, stumbled.

He's not very good at defending this kind of player without the ball.

Especially this kind of player who runs without the ball......

But his physicality was here, and it didn't stop him from keeping up with Woody quickly.

But Wade, who was holding the ball, suddenly stepped back at this time, and just stepped into the gap between Woody and LeBron.

Woody had just passed, and LeBron slammed into Wade's body solidly.

This is a "reverse pick-and-roll" that Wade did for Woody, and the ball went to Woody's hand at the same time.

Boozer's reflexes are not very slow and he is very maneuverable.

But if it had been Boozer before, he might have hesitated for a moment and pounced again. But now Boozer did not hesitate at all, and immediately narrowed the distance between him and Woody. I'm afraid that Woody will shoot directly and hit the middle distance.

And he quickly narrowed the gap with Woody, Woody just seized this opportunity and rushed straight to the basket, a simple "three-step layup", and easily completed the score before Big Z came up.

2 to 0!

Scott didn't blame Boozer.

Just said: "Watch the distance!" ”

After Woody got the ball, he immediately pounced, this is his arrangement!

Why......

Woody has seen a significant increase in his mid-range shooting per game over the past four games.

Prior to those four games, Woody was averaging 3.3 mid-range shots per game and was averaging about one per game.

Recently, he averaged around 6 mid-range shots per game and 2.4 shots per game!

That's a 40% hit rate!

Such a shooting percentage and a shot percentage can no longer be ignored, so he made such an arrangement in this game.

Originally, the Heat team's firepower to hit the interior line was ferocious, and if Woody was allowed to surrender again, tonight's game would be stunned by the Heat team at the beginning!

He knows that the Heat's offense depends on Woody, as long as he attacks smoothly, the Heat's offense will definitely not be small.

It's just that Boozer's reaction just now seems that his pre-match instructions are a little too solemn. So much so that this guy took this matter too seriously, as soon as Woody got the ball, he immediately rushed up, but gave Woody a chance to score easily!

This is a hand-shot, and it is really too crucial......

After Woody scored easily, he couldn't help but mutter.

His mid-range shooting is still just 72 points.

But I don't know if I know that I have great potential in the middle of the pitch now, and Woody is very confident when he shoots the mid-range.

The change in mentality allowed him to shoot around 40% from the field.

In fact, since the last game, Woody can feel that the opponent is wary of his mid-range shot, which makes it easier for him to get the opportunity to break through the basket in close range situations, and no longer feel tricky about closing the distance.

With Woody's mobility, bounce and explosiveness, as long as the opponent takes the initiative to get close to him without confrontation, then he can completely wipe the opponent in one step, just like he just broke through Boozer.

easy！

Offense and defense transitioned, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

LeBron James also called for a pick-and-roll from Big Z.

Recently, the Cavaliers have also established such a pick-and-roll system.

The Miami media is clamoring that the Cavaliers are learning from them.

Scott also dared to answer this question head-on, because of this trick, he was indeed referring to Wade and Woody.

At present, in the league, the most frequent and most used trick is the Heat, and the Jazz team is no longer centered on this set of tactics because of the disintegration of the "Utah Twins".

But Sloan shouldn't have given up on this tactic.

In the previous game between the Heat and the Jazz, a reporter photographed Jerry Sloan watching Wade and Woody use pick-and-roll tactics to complete the offense from the sidelines.

That expression, you can see at a glance, he can't wait for Wade and Woody to be his shape!

The old man obviously did not let go of his "blocking and demolition system......

However, in terms of tactical purposes, the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll system is still different from the Heat.

James and Big Z's set of blocking, in addition to helping LeBron start faster, also has a tactical purpose:

Let Big Z go to the high position and help open up the inside space for LeBron to break through.

There's a reason why LeBron's breakout has become more consistent in recent times.

It's just that in this way, Big Z is completely wasted.

Because in this way, the problem of his slow movement is more obvious.

Especially against a highly mobile team like the Heat.

LeBron successfully got rid of Wade, but collided with Grant head-on, and originally wanted to rely on high mobility to force a breakthrough in the confrontation, but as soon as he confronted Grant, he saw Odom wrap it up.

He hurriedly sent the ball behind him from Odom's side.

Outcome......

"Smack!"

Woody appeared behind Odom and made a steal with precision.

Heat's counter-attacking opportunity.

The ball is given to Odom.

LeBron almost reached out to intercept, but fortunately Odom successfully threw the ball near the halfway line, Wade took the lead and took the ball straight down, and the "tomahawk split" was done in one go.

"Phew!"

Taking advantage of LeBron's passing errors, the Heat easily completed the "defensive counterattack".

The Cavaliers still gave the ball to LeBron to control.

Come over to the half and face Wade.

This time, he didn't call Da Z to block the demolition again.

Once Big Z leaves the inside, LeBron is easy to encounter a "trapped beast fight" on the inside.

The scene just now is proof of that.

It is quite possible that the opposite side studied his passing habits.

With the opposite number three being his "good brother" Woody, he felt that he could get rid of the possibility, and he was sure that the opposite side must have studied his passing route!

In this round, he opted for a singles, a frontal kill against Wade, and then a Heat player to trap him, and then made a breakaway to give to an open teammate.

The plan was perfect, but the implementation was ......

It's very difficult!

The first issues to be addressed are:

The guy on the other side who looks very deceiving, why does he keep such a distance from him?

Aren't you afraid of my shots?

When Scott told Boozer to be careful of Woody's shooting, he was also listening, and the fat head coach opposite him was like a pig's head, didn't he specifically tell Wade to be careful of his shooting?

This is too much to bully King!

Get ready for the King's Wrath!

The more LeBron James thought about it, the more angry he became, and holding the ball was a forced break.

Well......

I was angry for a long time, and I didn't dare to try to shoot.

After all, the start is 0-4, if this goal is not scored, it is difficult to guarantee that the opposite side will not play a defensive counterattack.

Therefore, the shot must be reasonable.

Basketball is a team sport and I'm a person who knows how to use my teammates!

LeBron never forgets what he's good at!

LeBron, who had dribbled the ball for more than ten seconds, saw that he was fast into the reasonable collision zone, and he didn't shake off Wade, so he jumped up and gave the ball to Boozer under the basket in a dangerous way.

Boozer scolded his mother in his heart, but he knew that he didn't have much time, so he hurriedly made a shot, but he was pushed by Odom, and the shot with an unstable center of gravity popped out of the frame.

Big Z grabbed the offensive rebound in the confrontation, just landed, his hand was empty, and he watched the ball fly out of his hand slowly.

I don't know when there was an extra hand behind him......

Woody, slap his balls off!

Wade was able to get the ball down, and this time LeBron followed him well.

But Wade didn't have a chance himself, and when he rushed to the basket, he turned around and threw the ball behind him.

Woody then grabbed the ball and went straight to the basket with a ferocious rush.

This momentum frightened LeBron, and he subconsciously shrank to the side.

"Phew!"

6-0！

A familiar smell spreads across the pitch.
