NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 173 Change Tactics
In the first half of the second quarter, Xue Liancheng missed.

Spoel let Gasol lead the team temporarily.

In the past, when Wade was not injured, Spoelstra made the same arrangement. Xue Liancheng played the entire first quarter, while Wade rested early to connect in the first half of the second quarter.

This staggered playing time is actually to maintain offensive firepower.

After all, the overall strength of the Heat's bench is quite average, and there are very few players who can be named.

Chalmers is one.

others……

No more.

People such as Knox Cole, Shannon Brown, veteran captain Haslem, Ennis, etc., basically can't be counted on.

But now after the transaction, the Heat's bench is relatively better.

Marcus - Morris and Chalmers together, can barely maintain offensive firepower, if Wade is not injured, it can also add a Batum organizational ability.

In this case, the Heat's offensive power is not bad.

Now put Gasol on the court, Xue Liancheng guessed that Spoelstra mainly didn't want the two of them to overlap.

reason?

Spoelstra has already tasted the sweetness of playing with a small lineup in the first two games.

Spoelstra naturally wanted to replicate the success of the five minors in the first two games and expand this advantage to the end.

But Xue Liancheng felt that Si Bo took it for granted.

Because the Warriors just went to the suicide five.

Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Barnes, Green.

In addition to playing fast and chasing three-pointers, their lineup is the essence of using the space created by Curry and Thompson's super three-pointer ability to pass and cut.

But just now the Warriors' overall three-pointer feeling was not good, coupled with the need to face the no-fly zone jointly woven by Ibaka and Gasol Jr., the Warriors did not have an advantage.

In other words, the dead five little ones were not very dead.

Even after falling into the positional battle, he was restrained by the Heat's lineup just now.

of course.

The advantage of the Warriors' death and five small strikes is still obvious.

The Heat's death five and the Warriors' five are completely different concepts.

If the essence of the Warriors' five juniors is to pass and cut, then the Heat's five juniors simply only have to pass.

That's right,

It is relying on Xue Liancheng's superb and extremely sharp passing to directly nail down the opponent.

And other teammates, more is to play the role of terminator.

Without the existence of Xue Liancheng, this set of dead five, it would be real death.

The kind of death that kills oneself...

Next.

When Xue Liancheng appeared on stage, Sipo really arranged it like this.

but.

This time the five small lineups became Xue Liancheng, Batum, Ennis, PJ-Tucker, and Ibaka.

In terms of Ibaka's mobility, this can be regarded as a complete top five.

Coincidentally, the Warriors also came up with five juniors, Curry, Thompson, Barbosa, Iguodala, and Green.

Xue Liancheng looked at the five people across from him and laughed dumbfoundedly.

What a tacit understanding!
Game start.

The Heat's possession of the ball.

After Xue Liancheng received the serve, he first raised his hand and made a gesture.

All the members of the Heat moved in an instant, moving wildly and irregularly like a turbulent current.

As the founder of the five minors, the Warriors have unquestionable defensive experience.

But in the face of this battle, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Why does it look like running around, disorganized, and there is no trace to be found.

I just feel like I can go wherever I want, very casual.

And at the moment when they were confused.

Xue Liancheng had already thrown the ball.

After Ibaka from the free throw line completed the double screen, he just went straight to the basket.

Then he rushed straight to the basket.

In fact, he didn't understand why he ran like this, but during the rehearsal, Spoelstra arranged it like this, letting him go left and right, or go straight from the free throw line, and run to the basket.

Very confusing.

I don't have the ball in my hand, so what can I do if I run to the basket?
And what's more, Spoelstra asked him to jump as if he had the ball and be ready to catch the ball at the same time.

Now he rushed up smoothly.

But there was no excitement in his heart, and he even felt like a fool.

That is at this time.

He subconsciously looked up.

Startled suddenly, I yelled in my heart.

I boil...

The ball is coming?

what's the situation?
What's more, when he jumped up to the highest point, the ball landed on top of his head.

It was caught with a light push.

Yet the basket is in sight.

Without the slightest space to think, he took advantage of the situation and pressed down.

bang.

It was a dunk directly.

The warriors and generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

They were chasing the opposing player, and it turned out that in such a flash, the opponent had already scored.

Especially Egg Chaser Green.

After two screens, he was delayed, but followed behind Ibaka.

When he saw Ibaka take off, he felt baffled.

And look up.

The ball has come to Ibaka's head.

He was really stunned.

What's the matter?

Does Ibaka have eyes in the back of his head?
How did you know the ball was passed?

He confirmed that he had been following Ibaka, and he confirmed that Ibaka had not looked back.

Then the problem is coming.

How did Ibaka know that when he took off, the ball would fly over his head?

It's just incredible...

Don't say that the Warriors are ignorant.

Even Ibaka, who had completed the dunk, was dumbfounded.

I Nima...

What is the situation?

This completes the slam dunk?
That's the score?
He didn't know what was going on, and completed the dunk at the basket in a daze.

When returning to defense, he looked up at Xue Liancheng again, his eyes had changed.

He didn't know how Xue Liancheng did it, but he knew that his new boss was very powerful, Klass.

Look back.

The Warriors' passes and cuts also have their own unique features.

Because of the presence of Curry and Thompson, the inside space is directly expanded invisibly.

Barbosa and Iguodala's cuts will become unimpeded.

In addition, Green's vision is very wide, which makes the Warriors' passing and cutting cooperation extremely sharp.

When Curry ran, he completed the screen for Iguodala, and Iguodala went straight into the penalty area, and Ennis couldn't keep up.

at this time.

Green's pass arrives.

The Heat's penalty area is unguarded, and Iguodala is naturally regarded as the back garden.

After rushing up, he faced Batum on the other side to make up defense and dunked successfully.

This is the Five Minor Flaws of Death.

There is no ability to protect the frame at all.

The Heat didn't.

Neither did the Warriors.

Look back.

After Xue Liancheng pushed past halftime, he didn't find too many opportunities.

Push Thompson forward directly.

All the members of the Heat pulled out of the three-point line in an instant, and at the same time consciously moved along the three-point line, keeping a certain distance.

no doubt.

Thompson couldn't stop it at all, and was just pushed in by Xue Liancheng.

It didn't take long.

Just rushed into the basket.

then.

Suddenly a sudden brake.

Thompson was grinning and squeezing desperately, but he suddenly lost his strength and shifted his center of gravity.

Xue Liancheng slammed the ball over and flew directly to pick the basket from the other side.

Easy points.

No rim guard.

Scoring points was also easy for Xue Liancheng.

Off-site attack and defense.

The Warriors' offense is equally sharp.

After Thompson passed the cover, he suddenly rushed in.

Here Curry just finished running without the ball. The moment he received the ball, everyone's attention was on him, but he passed it to Thompson.

Thompson catches the ball and shoots straight away.

There are also.

Heat attack.

After Xue Liancheng pushed the ball over, he also observed it.

Still no chance.

Make a gesture again, indicating to pull away.

Then he carried Thompson in and killed him.

This time the Warriors chose to flank.

Xue Liancheng gave it to the vacant Ibaka.

Also scored three points.

Next.

The pace of both sides is very fast.

Although there is no opportunity to defend against fast breaks and counterattacks, after all, everyone retreats quickly and consciously moves quickly, so there is no 5-on-4 situation.

But their mobility is too strong, it takes almost ten seconds to complete a round of attack.

With this switching speed, if there is a big center on the court, it will be really exhausting, and it will really become a drag.

The Heat dare not send Gasol up easily.

The Warriors also dare not let Bogut come up to protect the frame.

On the offensive end, both sides are extremely sharp and smooth.

The Warriors' cutting power was developed to the extreme by Cole.

The Heat used Xue Liancheng's absolute containment and passing vision to create very good shooting space for teammates.

The difference is.

The Warriors' Curry and Thompson's three-pointers fell silent, failing to truly combine passing and cutting with three-pointers, launching a tsunami-like attack frenzy.

of course.

The most important thing is that the Heat's individual defense is really good.

Tucker bit Curry almost non-stop, never giving Curry an easy shot.

Batum also followed Thompson closely, constantly using his body and defensive skills to confront Thompson.

And Ibaka's defense and supplementary defense also played a huge role, and sometimes it can also affect the Warriors' pass and cut cooperation.

The Heat completely depend on the touch and movement coordination ability of other players except Xue Liancheng.

For now.

The offensive end is evenly divided.

On the defensive end, no one can pinch anyone, everyone has no ability to protect the frame, and the defensive strength is maintained purely by the enthusiasm of the players.

The individual defense of the Warriors is not bad. Thompson, Iguodala, and Green are all very good defensively.

Anyway, neither side has much advantage, and everyone can completely guard against the other.

After halftime.

The Heat still lead the Warriors by 63 points at 55:8.

Xue Liancheng personally contributed 10 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, and again contributed 6 points and 7 assists in the second quarter.

Halftime has scored a double-double of 16 points and 11 assists.

This is undoubtedly a positive signal.

It shows that the teammates feel good.

What made Xue Liancheng even more excited was that they were evenly divided in the confrontation with the five warriors who died.

Just because others don't have a deep understanding of the horror of Warrior Five, doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about it either.

Put it bluntly.

This season, the Warriors can play 30 wins and 5 losses to lead the league's start, because of Cole's bold adjustments, including the dead five into the tactical library and using them as regular tactics.

This allowed the Warriors to increase their scoring average to 110 points per game.

Coupled with the presence of talents on the bench, David Lee, Iguodala, Barbosa and others.

Let the Warriors always be invincible and invincible.

Even in many cases, after completing three quarters, clock in and leave work.

That's right.

Once the feel is opened, a wave of Death Five can take away the game.

And they, unexpectedly, were able to not fall behind in front of the pure death five minors.

this fact.

No doubt he was very excited.

This means that they already have the capital to compete with the Warriors.

According to the historical trajectory, the Warriors reached the finals without bloodshed this season.

If they want to compete for the championship, then they must find a way to solve the death five.

Look now.

There is already an answer vaguely.

As long as Wade returns, their dead five can also be played to the extreme, and it is unknown who will win the game.

of course.

It would be even more perfect if the problem of Gasol's playing can be solved.

It is enough to cut the pass of the Warriors, and the gram is dead.

He couldn't think about this question, so he had to leave it to Sipo.

The second half.

The confrontation between the two sides gradually escalated and became more intense.

Tucker and Curry had a quarrel once, both blushed and clashed again.

But this was a small episode, the two sides didn't even push and shoved, just shook hands and greeted each other a few times.

It didn't take long.

Chasing Egg Green and Ibaka almost fought again.

This time it was a bit serious, and I started pushing and shoving.

but.

The referee still didn't give a technical foul, and I don't know if it was for balance reasons.

After all, Tucker didn't blow it up. Although this one is more serious, I'm embarrassed to blow it up.

Both of them are the defensive generals of their respective teams, important rotation players, and they have already carried a technical foul. If they call again, they should be expelled.

There are 6 minutes left in the third quarter.

Spoelstra finally couldn't hold back and sent Gasol Jr. on the field. If such a defensive weapon is rotten in his hands, it is his responsibility as the head coach.

result.

Just came up the first round.

Thompson and Green completed the pick-and-roll, and Green went straight down. Batum had no choice but to chase, and the defense was completed, forming a small fight big situation.

Everyone pulls away, Thompson adjusts, then pulls back abruptly.

Three points.

I also raised it.

Gasol Jr. is tall and big, and when he defended, almost his whole body was shrouded in Thompson's body, and Thompson's movements seemed a little stiff and unnatural.

But don't doubt Thompson's soft touch.

as predicted.

Swish!
The crisp sound is so pleasant.

Little Gasol's face was darkened, and he was beaten when he came up. One can imagine his mood at this time.

When retreating, Xue Liancheng really wanted to go to comfort Gasol, after all, there is nothing the gods can do about such a ball.

But think about it or give up.

The little Gasol is also a well-known figure in the league. It's okay if he doesn't comfort him, but if he comforts him, it will make Gasol very embarrassed.

Look back.

Xue Liancheng cooperated with him, and both went down after the pick-and-roll.

Xue Liancheng was taken care of intensively.

And he has become accustomed to this, throwing high to the other side of the basket.

It was too late for Green to react. He was not as tall as Gasol Jr., so naturally he could only watch Gasol Jr. complete the alley-oop.

After landing.

Little Gasol punched fiercely to vent.

Off-site attack and defense.

The Warriors countered with a fast break, and Thompson rushed over to catch a pass from his teammate and made a three-pointer.

Three points again!

Xue Liancheng's heart skipped a beat.

Is it Thompson's three-point rain coming this time?
His fears soon became reality.

next round.

It was still a defensive counterattack, Thompson used the wall to cover, and made another three-pointer.

Hit again.

It would have been a lead of nearly 10 points.

All of a sudden there are only 3 points left.

So terrifying!
And this is just the beginning.

Next.

Still a fast break counterattack, Barbosa made an open three-pointer.

Also hit!

Straight to tie.

Spoelstra gritted his teeth on the sidelines, but in the end he didn't call a timeout.

Look back.

Xue Liancheng and Gasol Jr. completed the cooperation again, and made a high mid-range shot.

Scored 2 points.

Stabilize the situation.

But sometimes, when the three-point rain falls, it is really not easy to stabilize.

next round.

Curry, who had been silent for a long time, used cover continuously, and finally found a gap.

Three points again!

In this game, the Warriors completed the overtake for the first time.

The scene exploded with a bang.

The cheers of the mountains and tsunami were deafening, and all the audience stood up.

Waited all night.

They finally waited until they wanted to see the three-point rain frenzy, and they couldn't help being unhappy.

The Warriors bench also waved the towel heartily, yelling.

Five consecutive three-pointers, such an attack wave, I am afraid it would be unacceptable for any team.

so cruel...

Spoelstra finally had no choice but to call a timeout.

After coming to the field.

Spoelstra said, "They feel great. At this time, we need to hold our breath even more. They can shoot three-pointers, so can we. Everyone stay focused. After receiving the ball, shoot as soon as possible. Don't hesitate."

"Mark, you continue to play, but on the offensive end, you try to finish at a high position. Don't they want to play fast? If you are at the top of the arc, you have enough time to return to the defense, which can also reduce your consumption. Your main task is to guard the basket and kill all the opponent's passing and cutting cooperation in the cradle."

"Giselle, your task is the same. On the defensive end, you need to assist Mark and fan all the people who try to break into the penalty area. I don't believe that they can always be so accurate."

"On the offensive end, let's stop pursuing defensive counterattacks. We need to use our height to play steadily."

"And here, I need to emphasize one point in particular. Except for Mark, everyone is fighting for offensive rebounds. There is no fast break. I will see how they respond."

After listening to Si Bo's arrangement, Xue Liancheng secretly nodded in agreement.

Facing the Warriors' dead five, their defensive counterattacks have no effect, so it's better to slow down and make full use of Gasol's height and support.

On the defensive end, they also need to give full play to their absolute height advantage and weave a no-fly zone. Once the Warriors' three-pointers fail, it will be the Warriors' death.

And fighting for offensive rebounds sent the Warriors to the execution ground in advance.

As for why Gasol was not allowed to join the fighting team, it was naturally to allow Gasol to quickly return to defense.

After all, they made a shot, and Gasol needs to return to defense immediately. If he stays at the basket, it will be a brutal 5-on-4.

This is what Spoel did.

Xue Liancheng thought it was very reasonable.

They need to try to keep Gasol on the court, and now is a rare trial period.

After all, they want to meet again, probably in June.

At that time.

There is no room for loss in every game, and of course you can't leave it to that time for experimentation.
