NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 266 The confidence of Desperate Soup!

Warriors fans are finally proud.

This big victory finally brought back the momentum that had been lost before.

After all, if they lose this game again, it will be 0:3, just like the Heat did in the last series with half a foot in the abyss.

but.

They don't have the confidence to win four games in a row.

The reason why making history can be called making history is because they are non-replicable and extremely difficult.

The reason why the Heat were able to successfully reverse the situation was because the three games they lost themselves lacked the team's absolute offensive core.

The three games they lost were not the Heat's full strength.

What's more...

Even if Xue Liancheng came back, he almost died in the fifth battle and won by luck.

There are also factors such as lineup conflicts, morale damage, and psychological advantages that give the Heat an opportunity.

The Warriors were 0:3 behind, but without the above-mentioned factors, wanting to make a comeback was almost like a delusion.

Now the score is 2:1, and their hearts finally fall back into their stomachs.

This means that the strength of both parties is between Zhong Bo.

Even if you study carefully, you will find that the Warriors may be a little stronger.

Among them, "ESPN" famous media person A-Smith pointed out that in fact, the Heat's victory in the first and second games were gifts from the Warriors themselves.

First of all, in the first game, the reason why the Heat won was mainly because Cole stubbornly went to David Lee, which caused the score to be widened.

The Warriors finally caught up, but Xue Liancheng scored two three-pointers, killing the game.

Data shows that in games with Xue Liancheng, when the score was deadlocked in the last 2 minutes, the score difference was no more than 5 points, and the Heat had never lost.

In other words, if you want to beat the Heat, you must widen the point difference in the critical stage of the final quarter, otherwise you are likely to be killed by Xue Liancheng or kill the game.

and so.

The Warriors lost in Game [-] because of the few rounds they played against David Lee.

In that game, it can be said that the loss was unclear.

In the second game, it was even more obvious. Green was directly expelled, causing the Warriors' offensive system to collapse and their defensive system to be full of loopholes.

In summary.

The first game was lost to Cole and David Lee.

The second battle was lost because Green committed suicide.

In the third game, the Heat had no chance and were beaten without the ability to fight back. This illustrates a problem. Under normal circumstances, the Heat's strength is not as good as the Warriors.

and so……

A-Smith predicted that the Warriors will eventually become the biggest winner this year and reach the championship.

……

As soon as this comment came out, it immediately attracted crazy questioning and abuse from Heat fans.

"19 three-pointers! You can score 19 three-pointers every game?"

"Everyone has times when they feel good, and everyone has times when they feel bad. When the Warriors feel great every time, just give me a hard blow. Is that interesting?"

"That makes sense, don't say it next time."

"After a long time of analysis, it's not a question of whether the hand feels good or not."

"Ha! Who is stronger and who is weaker? The big score is enough to explain everything."

A-Smith's influence is still great, and it quickly caused a huge response.

to this end.

A reporter came specially to interview Xue Liancheng.

Reporter: "A-Smith publicly said on Twitter that you are not as good as the Golden State Warriors and that the championship this season will be the Golden State Warriors. What do you want to say about this?"

Xue Liancheng was not angry and responded calmly: "Everyone has the right to analyze and predict. As a media person, this is just his point of view. He has successfully attracted people's attention. I don't think this is anything."

In my impression, this A-Smith has his own logic, his speech is very sharp, and he always gets to the point. His famous trick is to criticize popular superstars.

Like James in the early stage, he suffered deeply from it.

For example, he criticized James for being cowardly at critical moments, having insufficient skills, and liking to complain about referees, etc.

But this guy is very smart. Although he often criticizes James' problems here and there, he has never denied James' strength.

As such.

It won a full house of applause without offending James' fans.

This is also the key to its topic creation.

just now……

A-Smith has changed his target and started to operate on him.

This is actually understandable.

After all, as a media person, this is how you can get traffic. A-Smith’s skills in capturing traffic are very good.

The reporter was surprised: "He is looking down on you. Are you not angry at all?"

Xue Liancheng: "There is nothing to be angry about. It all depends on the final result. I like to let the results speak for themselves."

Xue Liancheng's conclusive speech also received a lot of criticism.

Especially Warriors fans feel that Xue Liancheng is showing off.

Ok……

This is where it gets interesting.

No matter what Xue Liancheng says, it will attract huge attention, and his influence is no longer what it used to be.

Once upon a time, he was still a small character that James didn't even want to deal with.

Now, he has grown into a superstar whose every move, word and deed will trigger huge reactions.

For example, Curry also vowed in the post-game interview that he would win the championship.

result.

It didn't make much waves.

The two were treated very differently.

There is only one reason.

That is, Curry's influence is more than one level lower than Xue Liancheng.

Originally, according to historical trajectory, the Warriors' record this season was the league's best, and Curry also relied on the team's glory to win the first regular season MVP of his career.

result……

All of this was taken away by Xue Liancheng, and the light that shone throughout the alliance was naturally transferred to Xue Liancheng.

Coupled with Xue Liancheng's vigorous intimidation of the league and his spectacular comeback, he overcame four consecutive games after falling behind 0:3 to reach the finals.

The momentum is really booming.

and so……

The same speech by Xue Liancheng was like throwing a depth charge. It was repeatedly reported by the media and fans rushed to discuss it.

And Curry?
Deserted, no splash.

And amid the turmoil, the fourth battle came.

The Heat's problem still exists, and the three-point shooting is like a ghost and sometimes it doesn't work.

When Xue Liancheng broke through, he was decisively double-teamed by the Warriors as always.

This caused the Heat's offense to reach a dead end.

If the three points are not working properly, the space will be compressed.

Once the space is compressed, it becomes difficult for Xue Liancheng to break through.

If Xue Liancheng's breakthrough cannot effectively create space, he will not be able to create opportunities for his teammates.

Without an absolute open shot, these shooters are becoming more and more inaccurate.

It really creates an endless loop.

Halftime is over.

The Heat trailed by 45 points at 53:8.

The Warriors' state is not as hot as the last game.

Thompson, in particular, was in a fugue throughout the first half. He only scored 9 points on 2 of 4 shots and 3 of 0 three-pointers, which was quite miserable.

This is why the Splash Brothers are ultimately led by Curry and serve as the first core of the team.

Thompson is too inconsistent.

It's terrifying when he's on target, and he can single-handedly save the team in desperate situations.

But when it’s not accurate, it’s really unpredictable.

Curry is relatively stable, and the number of times he pulls his hips is relatively limited.

Moreover, Curry's breakthrough is actually very strong, but it is covered up by the three-point light. His vision and passing are also much better than Thompson.

In terms of comprehensive offensive capabilities, Curry is obviously more suitable to serve as the core of the offense.

Thompson, on the other hand, is more like a top-notch 3D player, with great defense, accurate shooting, and good air-cutting awareness.

Singles?
Yes, but the efficiency is average and cannot reach the top level.

But even if Thompson stretches his hips like this, they still lead the Heat by 8 points at halftime. You can imagine how strong they are.

Halftime break.

Spoelstra immediately found Xue Liancheng and asked, "Xue, I need your movement to create space for Dwayne to attack. Is there any problem?"

Xue Liancheng paused and shook his head: "No problem."

He also felt that this should have been done long ago.

Now that others on the outside are inaccurate from three-point range, he, the person with the highest three-point deterrent, should step up and move to create space.

Only when space is released can they find effective opportunities, release their offensive firepower, and improve their efficiency.

This is also the best way to break a pincer attack.

I'm not holding the ball, how can you double-team me?
What's more...

His ability to connect the ball is also very powerful. Just like when he was fighting against the Cavaliers, he was positioned as a shooter, using the space created by his movement to give the Cavaliers a heavy blow.

Apart from that, there is one more thing.

Wade's main attack can better cover up his shortcomings of unstable three-pointers and maximize his breakthrough advantage.

and so……

Now is the time to make such a change.

After Sibo received Xue Liancheng's approval, he nodded: "The next step is up to you."

Xue Liancheng: "I will make a three-pointer."

He made 4 of 2 three-pointers in the first half, which was pretty good.

He is also the most intimidating three-point shooter in the Heat.

But this is far from enough.

Only by shooting more three-pointers can we create greater deterrence and effectively stretch the space.

otherwise.

Who will block you?

Like Wade, no matter how you run, people will always let you go, just because they are sure that you will not make a three-pointer. What can you do?
In fact, Wade can't do anything.

His three-point shooting is just inaccurate. What can I do...

The second half of the game will start soon.

Come up.

Xue Liancheng started running.

The effect was indeed immediate.Xue Liancheng went back and forth, directly disrupting the warrior's defense.

Sometimes Thompson loses track and someone has to pick up the slack.

But at this time, a gap appeared.

Wade makes good use of this gap to complete quick attacks, finishes, or passes.

but……

After a few rounds, the Warriors gradually adapted to Xue Liancheng's movement.

Sometimes Thompson loses track of him, and others just help delay him without actually chasing him.

The reason is that Xue Liancheng did not take a three-point shot and did not form an absolute deterrent to scare them.

in this way……

There is no space again.

and so.

on the next turn.

After Xue Liancheng came to the frontcourt, he gestured to Wade and then started running.

soon.

He caught an opportunity.

After turning back to cover, he suddenly bypassed Batum. When he saw Thompson blocking the front, he suddenly turned back.

In this way, a semi-vacancy state is formed.

Wade gave the ball to him immediately.

He just raised his hand and shot.

Thompson rushed over. Although it did not cause much interference, it also deprived him of his 15% hit rate bonus.

A shot.

He felt like he was about to suffer.

In order to show his three-point deterrence, he gritted his teeth and finally activated the 100% hit skill.

Swish!
middle!

This time.

Finally aroused the nerves of the warrior generals.

The score difference was also caught up to 1 point.

really.

In the next round, the Warriors did not dare to relax on his defense.

Thompson lost the chase, and Iguodala followed.

Iguodala lost the chase, and Green followed.

At the time when they switch defenses, it is easy to form an uncooperative defensive transition.

What an opportunity.

It also came out.

However, Xue Liancheng did not stop there. He ran quickly and used the screen to get another semi-open opportunity at a 45-degree angle.

Wade gives the ball quickly as always.

But this time.

He didn't cast immediately, but clicked.

Sure enough, Green took off.

But he had a good sense of defense. He immediately noticed something was wrong after jumping up and made adjustments in an instant.

Like a giant monkey, it dances and twists in the air.

Xue Liancheng didn't touch the porcelain because he couldn't touch it. He waited until Green showed a tendency to fall before he jumped up.

This time it's an open three-pointer, with a 15% hit rate bonus.

A shot.

The feeling is coming.

The ball drew a beautiful arc.

really.

Swish!
Again!

The score finally came back.

The on-site commentators were excited: "Miami changed tactics in time, and it really worked wonders. Xue Liancheng scored two 3-pointers in a row, and is currently 6 of 4 three-pointers. This feeling is going to explode!"

Commentator: "Yes, I have to say here that Spoelstra's on-the-spot reaction was good and he was quite courageous. Seeing that the offensive space was compressed, he made immediate adjustments and used Xue Liancheng as a shooter. It was really unexpected. Most coaches would not Give up Xue Liancheng’s extraordinary passing ability.”

Commentator: "The most important thing is that Xue Liancheng and Wade complement each other. Xue Liancheng's three-pointers are more accurate, and Wade's breakthroughs are sharper. Only by switching their tactical positions can this effect be achieved."

Commentator: "Yes, I strongly agree. Wade's three-pointers are not very good. If he can't hold the ball, he can't use his lightning breakthrough. Although Xue Liancheng has an invincible passing vision, his teammates are not very good at three-pointers. Coupled with the compressed space, it will be difficult to break through, and he will be resolutely flanked. It is actually very uncomfortable for him to be like this. Now he is running, which directly releases a lot of space, allowing Wade to break through with ease. The two complement each other. , so that this tactical adjustment has a miraculous effect."

The two people's comments hit the nail on the head and pointed out the core key...

Next.

As expected, the space became larger, and the Warriors' defensive formation was also messed up.

Coupled with Wade's explosive form in this quarter, the Heat not only maintained the score, but also tended to expand.

Xue Liancheng's ability to connect the ball also began to emerge, constantly receiving the ball and assisting his teammates to score.

The situation suddenly turned around.

After three quarters.

Instead, the Heat led by 7 points, which equaled a 15-point win over the Warriors.

Wade made 7 of 6 shots in a single quarter and scored 16 points, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's lead.

Xue Liancheng was also good, hitting 3 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring 11 points and 5 assists.

While attacking in series, they also took into account the offense and stretched out the space at the same time.

The Warriors began to lose sight of the other.

Double-teaming Wade?

Then Xue Liancheng must have run out of space. 8 of 5 three-pointers are no joke. Just like the berserk Curry, he has extremely strong pressure.

Once it gets violent, it can really kill someone.

And under the leadership of Xue Liancheng, the other people's three-point touch finally recovered a little. How dare the Warriors let it go?
Therefore, it is obviously not feasible to flank Wade.

But if there is no flank attack?

That Wade can really penetrate their hearts like a sharp blade.

One can imagine how terrifying the hit rate of 7 out of 6 is.

He could only foul and send Wade to the free throw line.

But obviously, this is not the way to go.

This is where the Warriors are currently helpless.

The Heat powered by dual cores is terrible.

He unleashed all his offensive firepower and scored 42 points in a single quarter.

This is the finals!

Isn't such a score equivalent to killing someone?

Cole was furious on the sidelines, but still couldn't find an effective solution.

Section IV.

The Heat continued this tactic resolutely.

Wade is still furious.

Xue Liancheng relied on his last 100% shooting skill to maintain his three-point deterrence. He made 4 of 2 shots in the single quarter and 12 of 7 shots in the game, completely controlling the Warriors.

But Curry still maintained a high level of condition and barely maintained the situation, but he never waited for the desperate soup to appear.

finally.

The Warriors ruined the good game and lost another game 117:122.

in this way.

The big score became 1:3.

When the warriors truly reached a point where their lives were hanging by a thread, their despair suddenly broke out.

This can be seen from the reaction of the audience after the game.

The moment the final whistle blew.

The whole place fell silent. There was no sound.

Countless people held their heads, their eyes were dull, and their faces were full of loss and unwillingness.

1:3 ah!
Is there still hope?

At this moment, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

They don't have an answer.

of course.

Mainly because I dare not think about it.

This victory sent the Heat bench into a frenzy.

Even Wade was jumping up and down with excitement.

3: 1.

It means the finishing touch.

They once again reached the top and won the championship. How could they not be excited?
Especially for Wade, he proved himself again.

He is not old yet.

Without James, he can still do it, he is still a top-notch existence.

In this game, he made 26 of 17 shots, scoring 44 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, becoming the biggest contributor to the win.

Xue Liancheng also performed well, with 30 points and 18 assists, and his brilliance was not overshadowed by Wade.

18 assists!

This is the finals!

And he scored 30 points, which can be said to be very dominant.

And Curry once again scored 38 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Such a super performance is still rare to win.

The culprit is Thompson.

In this game, he made 18 of 4 shots, 7 of 0 three-pointers, and only scored 7 points.

Everyone else performed well, like Iguodala, Green, Barnes, and Bogut all scored in double figures.

Only Thompson was held back in this game.

I don’t know what this guy thinks.

The more he missed, the more he shot.

The more you shoot, the more you miss.

possible……

This is the confidence of Jiejietang.

pity.

He personally put the team into a desperate situation.
