The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: At halftime, 67 to 61, the Miami Heat, who had to play the first half with all their main players, got an "ideal" result. They did not allow themselves to enter the second half with a double-digit gap.

For a team whose average age and roster depth are inferior to their opponents, this is the best result.

However, the Celtics are clearly more satisfied with this result.

Yao Yueban made a joke to the reporter: "Our substitutes performed very well. In the last few minutes of the first half, they were fighting against the opponent's full lineup, but they did not back down and did their best!"

Details can make or break a success.

Lineup depth is a factor that cannot be ignored in the playoffs.

In order to prevent the second team from being suppressed, the Heat made the main lineup play six or seven minutes more than the opponent, and correspondingly, the Celtics' core players also rested for six or seven minutes more.

The consumption of these six or seven minutes can be large or small from an overall point of view.

And the outcome of a game sometimes depends on the big and small gaps.

"I like this first half." Louie said to ABC's on-site reporter, "I especially like Wish's performance in the first half. In my impression, this is his most charismatic performance."

Afterwards, the abc reporter asked again: "Coach Lu, as a world team full of international players, the Celtics lack black players who can play due to injuries, which also makes you the most famous player in the past half century. The first no-black team to make it this far in the playoffs, do you think that's an achievement?"

Louie is glad someone finally figured out what it means for a no-Blacks team to make it this far in the playoffs.

"I don't want to cause any misunderstanding, I think..." Louie said cautiously, "This is the honor of all the players on our team. Basketball is a jewel given to black people by God. Whether it is in the United States or other basketball in the world. In the league, black players have always dominated, and now, in the world's highest level of nba, a team has come here without black players because of injuries, it's really unbelievable, unbelievable matter."

The abc reporter excitedly turned to report the scene to the TV station, and Louis also completed the half-time interview that must be conducted in every game.

When he turned and walked towards the player tunnel, there was an acquaintance standing in the tunnel.

That was Heat president Lewis Shafier.

In recent years, the head coach Billy Donovan has represented the Heat at league meetings. Compared with the early 1990s, Lewis has kept a low profile.

It had been a year since Louie had last seen him.

Looking at Shafier's gray temples and his age, Louis thought, maybe he should find a time to give this old friend a copy of Dylan Thomas' poetry collection.

"Coach Lu, I thought our two teams could compete head-to-head, but it turns out that I was wrong." Shafier said, "The gap is bigger than I thought."

If Arenas hadn't made such a fuss, if Duncan hadn't been plagued by plantar fasciitis and chosen to lose weight, the Heat would have been stronger.

But if everything is possible, the best player in NBA history is McGrady.

"Never mind, Lewis, under your rule, the Heat are undoubtedly the best NBA team in the 21st century so far."

There is no doubt about this.

From the millennium to today, the Heat have won three championships, the most in the NBA. It is no problem to say that they are the best team of the century so far.

Of course, this position won't last long, because Duncan will get old and retire, and there are still many decades in the 21st century.

This time span is so long that most contemporary people can be buried in the ground.

"The Celtics look unstoppable, but unfortunately we are not at our best." Shafir sighed, "Only the Heat in 2001 had the strength to fight the Celtics."

01 Heat, that is the best Heat team in Shafier's mind. In fact, the 95 Cosmic Heat may be the strongest, but according to Shafier, the 01 Heat is the team that made many Miami Heat fans.

He doesn't know the ball that well, and he can't tell why, but if you ask him 10,000 times, he will always say that the 01 Heat are the best Heat team in history.

Also, it's hard to tell if he loves that Heat team too much or hates Danny Manning too much.

For Louis, the Heat in those years were normal championship teams. In his heart, the 93 Knicks are the benchmark for measuring all championship teams.

Even though what he thought was the best team of all time was only there for one night, it still outweighed all the great teams he's ever owned.

As Dylan Thomas said in a poem: Darkness is the way, light is the destination, and the heaven that never and never will come is the truth.

After exchanging a few words with his old friend, Louis returned to the locker room.

It's full of high-spirited young players.

"Guys, the Heat are on their last legs, their main force can't even beat our heroic substitute!" Lu Wuxia was stepping in and giving an inspiring speech for his loyal father, "Compared to us, the Heat are lifeless Withered grass, they are dying, and we are..."

Lu Wuxia was embarrassed to continue after seeing her father come in.

"What is it?" Louis looked at him playfully, "Continue."

"We are the rising sun," Wuxia said, "the rising sun."

"Yes, well said, now let's talk about business." Louis picked up the tactical board, first circled Duncan's name with a colored pen, "Tim is the soul of Miami, with him, the Heat will not collapse .But he has fouled three times now. In the second half, we have to attack the inside more frequently. As long as Tim encounters a foul crisis, the opponent will be self-defeating."

"Once we achieve our strategic goal—let Tim carry more fouls, opponents must pin their hopes on outside players if they want to reverse the defeat." Louis said, "Ray Allen doesn't have the courage, and Stephen Jackson doesn't." Enough ball possession, Jiang Duo is only a sixth man shooter... So, that idiot who draws his gun on the sidelines will carry the team on his back inappropriately, once the opponent gets to this point..."

"They were defeated." Lu Wuxia continued Louis' words.

Louis asked with a smile, "Why did they lose?"

Lu Wuxia replied, "Because he is too conceited."

"Do you know him well?" Louis asked.

"No, we are not familiar with each other." Lu Wuxia said, "But through contact on the court, I think Arenas is different from the past. As the newly promoted fmvp of the defending champion, he has just come out of a 40-game suspension. He is more eager than ever to prove his strength and value, and Tim is the only person who can hinder him in this matter. Once Tim is troubled by fouls, no one on the Heat will be able to suppress his desire."

Louis did not point out whether Wuxia's analysis of Arenas was right or wrong.

Because this is the only way to go from ace to leader.

A boss who only knows how to charge and can't stop to analyze the pros and cons will easily lead the team into the ditch.

"That's how it is." Louis said loudly, "From the second half, our offense will continue the strategy of the first half, increase the inside cut, put more defensive pressure on the Heat inside, and force more fouls from Tim. With the goal achieved, we will have the opportunity to see if Wish's judgment on Arenas is right or wrong!"

Intermission is over.

Before the start of the second half, Louis specially gave Yao Yue a half-handed trick: "You are like this..."

"Is it okay? Td is very smart." Yao Yue was not sure.

"So, don't avoid physical contact when you make a shot, but take the initiative to stick it up so that he has to have physical contact with you."

Yao Yueban came on stage with a small task.

At the beginning of the second half, Lu Wuxia used the pick-and-roll dribble to cut to the basket. Duncan stood on the standard defense and did not jump when he was killed, but this level of interference could not affect Wuxia's shooting percentage.

Lu Wuxia scored with a side throw.

69 to 61

The point difference came to 8 points again.

In terms of hitting the board, this is Duncan's housekeeping skill. In the next round, he will do the same, cut in for Arenas in a pick-and-roll, and go down to the 45-degree angle outside the paint area on the right to receive the pass from Arenas. , turned around and made a jumper, and hit the board.

63 to 69

Then, Yao Yueban gave Lu Wuxia a wink, and first pretended to pick and roll in the frontcourt. When his pick and roll wall took effect, he suddenly turned around and went down, trying to catch the Heat by surprise.

What a golfer Duncan is, he saw through Yao Yueban's fake pick-and-roll at a glance and his cleverness in attacking the basket.

Although the tactics were seen through, Yao Yueban still had the courage to face the difficulties and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Seeing this, Lu Wuxia knew that if he didn't pass the ball, he would lose face to the old captain.

When the basketball came out, Yao Yue caught it halfway and faced Duncan directly. He didn't stop the ball at all. He neither chose the safest back shot nor swayed his footsteps. have the most intense physical contact with

With Duncan's profound basic skills, it is basically impossible to make the mistake of being whistled for being too wide in contact, but Yao Yueban caught the time lag when old Deng didn't raise his hand in time, and played a game that made him have to fight Oden next month. The temperamental macho who is fighting for the first prize directly called his confidant and swung his arms back and forth.

Yao Yueban forcibly dragged Duncan's hand that could not be raised in time, and it looked like he was catching someone. The referee immediately blew his whistle and gave Duncan an extremely unjust foul.

When the whistle sounded, Yao Yueban had an emoji smile on his face, and then stopped immediately, annoyed that he couldn't grasp the sudden 2+1.

Duncan showed the referee the movement of Yao Yueban forcefully pulling his arm, opened his eyes wide, and muttered something in his mouth, which showed that he was quite puzzled and dissatisfied with the penalty.

Yao Yueban made two free throws.

After doing this ~www.readwn.com~ Duncan felt a little angry, and wanted to wrestle with Yao Yueban inside.

I saw Lao Deng took the initiative to hit Yao Yueban with a spherical basket.

The point difference returned to 6 points again.

Yao Yueban, who had tasted the joy of making fouls, wanted to repeat the same trick, but Duncan would not give him a second chance, holding his hand high, and completely leaving no room for the big loop to drag.

Yao Yueban, who was determined to draw a foul but failed, actually made a low-level mistake, dawdling in the paint for too long, a three-second violation.

"Oh, my brain is really crazy!" Yao Yueban said regretfully.

Louis looked at him helplessly, "This trick can only be used once."

"Coach, give me one more chance, I can definitely win him off!"

"Fuck off, it's enough to use this evil trick once, we have to earn him in a fair and honest manner... No, we need to get him out of the game!"
