The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 360 [The whole court is pressing, the substitute is mighty] (sixth)
Although there are four stars, the Heat are a team that relies on defense to win. The offense depends on the personal ability of the stars.The Heat's three outsiders have a lot of experience in preventing breakthroughs. Although Wade is only 193cm tall, he knows how to use his body to get in position in advance, so that Smith can't run and can only jump.

In the third quarter, Smith hit the basket more and attacked with his back, and finally scored 8 points.It was only at the critical moment that they realized who was the most important person in the team. Love and Curry misfired, and it was still up to Smith to stand up and help Ye Feng.

Thibodeau decided to use a substitute at the beginning of the fourth quarter, allowing Ye Feng and Smith to rest for a while before playing a decisive battle.

When playing against the Celtics last season, Thibodeau did not dare to boldly employ players in the first two games. He kept using the main force to fight against the Celtics. He did not distribute the physical strength of the starters reasonably, which resulted in a loss to the Celtics at home. one game.The score has not been opened yet in this game, and the Clippers can't guarantee victory. At the last moment, the Heat have three star outsiders who are good at attacking with the ball. Don't worry about no one standing up at the critical moment.The Clippers are used to relying on Ye Feng at the last moment. If the Heat were to guard against Ye Feng until the last few minutes, the situation would be unfavorable for the Clippers.

Thibodeau drew a few times on the tactical board and said: "Stephen (Curry), Marcus (Thornton), Matt (Barnes), Marcin (Gortat), Yi Jianlian play, attack JaVale Pull out to cover, Marcin is in the low post, if it is against Haslem, pass the ball to the low post for singles, man-to-man when defending, press the whole court!"

The full-court press is the last desperate play, and Thibodeau is about to start using it now.McGee and Love have played for too long, O'Neal is too slow to play and there will be loopholes in defense, and only Yi Jianlian has not played in the inside line, and he has plenty of energy.At this time, Thibodeau replaced him, believing that he can make some contributions to the team by relying on his physical strength, and he can play for only a few minutes without being overwhelmed.Moreover, Yi Jianlian once limited Bosh to single digits in the Bucks game against the Raptors. Bosh was afraid of his type of defense.

Before playing, Thibodeau stopped Yi Jianlian and told him: "Don't be nervous, run, and keep up when defending! Don't miss your own people."

Yi Jianlian nodded vigorously. He was very excited. He finally stood on the field of the finals. Although he was only a substitute, he felt that his life was not in vain.Close to Zhu Zhechi, close to Mo Zhehei, in the Bucks and Nets, two lazy teams dominated by outside players "shooting birds randomly", Yi Jianlian couldn't get up, and he really took the team to the Clippers. The victory and defeat of the game was linked with personal honor and disgrace, and he began to integrate into the team.Even if he broke his leg in this series, he was willing and vowed not to hold back the team.

The Heat, Wade, Mayo, James, and Bosh stayed on the court, and the inside line was replaced by Juwan Howard, one of the Rockets' "two old men".

Uncle Huo is a strange person. He has been in a downturn since he left the Rockets, but because he has a stable mid-range shot and can withdraw from the inside, many teams are willing to give him a contract and let him be the "auspicious" in the team. thing".The Heat replaced him and didn't expect him to do anything else, just wait for the opportunity to shoot after the pick-and-roll. If there is an open spot, he can really make the ball.

Seeing that the Clippers made a substitution in the fourth quarter and replaced Yi Jianlian, Barkridge said: "What the hell is Thibodeau trying to do? Why did he replace him at this time? If the score is widened at this time, it will be difficult to play. The Heat have all four stars on the floor right now."

Kenny Smith was also puzzled, and sighed: "It's really too risky to be on the bench at this time. Chinese fans may be very happy, and finally waited until Yi Jianlian played."

On the side of ESPN, "Magic" Johnson also questioned the Clippers' formation, thinking that this is a bit of "digging their own grave", and the Heat are likely to seize the opportunity to exceed the score.

The only one who has confidence in the Clippers is Van Gundy. He knows Thibodeau and analyzed: "I think Thibodeau has his own plan. Resting Ye Feng and Smith is only one aspect. It is estimated that the Clippers will change their defensive strategy and speed up the pace. "

The Heat had the ball, and as soon as the baseline ball was sent, the Clippers began to press the ball.Those present didn't have much playing time. Barnes and Yi Jianlian were both full of energy, and the Clippers had an advantage in athletic ability.In order to break the full-court press, the Heat's main players must also consume some energy.There is another problem. The Heat also do not have a regular No. 1 position. Wade and Mayo are more like shooting guards. The Clippers sent Curry and Thornton very quickly.

Wade brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Barnes defended more thoroughly than Ye Feng, defending James closely without the ball.Howard came out to screen, Gotatra went out to defend the pick-and-roll, Bosh was in the low post, and Yi Jianlian was responsible for the top defense.

The Heat sent Howard to liberate Bosh and let him attack in the low post. If Love is defending, Bosh has two advantages in height and speed. Thibodeau sent Yi Jianlian, but Bosh has no advantage. Yi Jianlian A little taller than him.James was flanked by Barnes and Gortat on the perimeter and passed to Howard, and Gortat let go of James to prevent Howard from shooting.

Howard moved too slowly, and it was a "slow motion" after receiving the ball. Gortat caught up. Howard didn't make a strong shot and passed it to Mayo. Mayo lobbed the ball over Curry's head to Bosh in the left low post .

At this time, even the Zenith Stars watching NBA games in Battlestar knew that Yi Jianlian was the weakest player on the Clippers court, so the Heat passed on to Bosh.

Bosh dribbled with his back in singles, Yi Jianlian topped the defense, his strength was no worse than Bosh, he resisted, Bosh shook his left shoulder lightly, turned around to the bottom line and made a jumper, Yi Jianlian was not shaken by this simple fake move, and jumped up Interference, it is difficult to block Bosh, but interference can still be done.Bosh missed the shot.Gortat went inside and protected the backcourt rebound.

"Good shot!" On the bench, the Clippers cheered for Yi Jianlian, but it was worthwhile to send him to play just to defend the ball. This was an unexpected harvest. Yi Jianlian restrained players like Bosh.

When the Clippers attacked, Yi Jianlian pulled out an outside screen to block Wade, Thornton made a breakthrough, and Barnes also pulled outside the three-point line, attracting James' defense and preventing him from entering the inside for help defense.Gortat was in the low post, Howard defended, and Bosh was responsible for defending the pick-and-roll, keeping up with Thornton.

Thornton failed to pass Bosh, turned around to protect the ball and passed it out to Yi Jianlian, who had a height advantage against Wade.Wade hurried forward to get close to him.Make it difficult for Yi Jianlian to take off and disrupt his shooting rhythm.Inside Gortat squeezed Howard to the middle to ask for the ball.

This opportunity was obvious. Yi Jianlian sent the ball in over Wade's head and played an internal pass.Gortat was purely bullying the elderly when he faced Howard. He caught the ball and dribbled with his back, turned to the right, and beat Howard to score with a hook! 73 to 68.

Spoelstra was not satisfied with the defense, and Howard didn't get stuck.When he was young, Howard couldn't defend well, let alone now that he has old arms and legs, how can he defend?

As soon as the Heat sent out a foul ball, the Clippers pressed hard again.

Wade dribbles and breaks through, and the Clippers still have time to catch up for the second defense. After all, there is still a long distance from the basket. Reached.

James got the ball in the high position, Barnes stepped forward to get close, and others were ready to help defend at any time, James still didn't have a good chance.The Clippers' tactical arrangement is to let others shoot, and double-team James when necessary. James hit Gortat as soon as he passed the screen, and he didn't pass.

In Ye Feng's previous life, Gortat became famous when the Magic eliminated the Cavaliers in the playoffs. At that time, Gortat defended against James' pick-and-roll attacks many times.James passes the ball outside again, Wade gets the ball, and Bosh sets a second screen.

Man-to-man defense, Yi Jianlian can only switch defenses.Mahon and Mutombo have taught him for a year, even the idiot defensive end should have some improvement. Yi Jianlian's advantage lies in his height, so he is one step away from Wade, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots, preventing Wade from rushing to the basket.With such a contraction of defense, Wade immediately gave up the breakthrough, moved a step sideways and made an emergency stop jump shot, and the ball went into the net hollow. 73 to 70.

Yi Jianlian has nothing to do with this ball. If he can defend Wade, he shouldn't be a marginal player.

The Clippers attacked, and Yi Jianlian went to the outside to cover again. This time, he blocked Mayo. Curry dribbled the ball to the side. Low Gortat.Gortat singled Howard again, took a step behind him, turned around and shot a jumper, and added a small fadeaway, Howard couldn't cover it, and the ball scored again! 75 to 70.

Gortat waved his fist excitedly as he returned to defense.Spoelstra saw that he couldn't do it, so he quickly replaced Howard and replaced Joel Anthony to strengthen the low-post defense.

As soon as the ball was sent, the Clippers' frontcourt press came again.Their goal is to consume the physical strength of the Heat's starters.In the frontcourt, the Clippers guarded against James, and Wade lobbed the ball to Bosh on the right.Bosh hit Yi Jianlian in a low post. This time he dribbled the ball and turned to the middle. Yi Jianlian followed closely. He interfered with the shot again and the shot missed. Barnes got the backcourt rebound.

Bosh is very shameless in this game.Barkley shouted: "Yi Jianlian defended Bosh again, twice! With these two defenses, the Clippers did not bring him in for nothing!"

Barnes held the ball in his arms, and the Clippers took it easy and attacked in position.This is not to hit the success rate, but to delay time.The players kept passing the ball. When there were 5 seconds left in the attack time, Curry used Yi Jianlian to cover and break through, and made a sudden stop and missed a jumper. Although he missed the goal, his goal was achieved.

After playing for 4 and a half minutes, Heat coach Spoelstra requested a timeout, and the Clippers still led by 1 point.The Heat's first start against the Clippers as a substitute failed to complete the overtake, which made him intolerable.
