Chapter 402 Learning to defend
Eating milky popcorn and drinking delicious fruit juice, Qin Tao focused on the screen, keeping his eyes on the defense of the Heat and Pacers.

That's right.

Ever since he had the opportunity to watch the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Qin Tao has paid close attention to their defense.

And from their defense, I also learned something.

nowadays.

As the game gradually deepens, the defensive level will naturally become stronger. At this stage, they also have to show the skills of pressing the bottom of the box.

And perhaps because the Rockets' defense is not very good, Harden and McHale all have this idea in order to learn something and find a way to dismantle the Spurs' defense.

of course.

This thing is not achieved overnight, at least they are not purely defensive players instinctively.

While they were watching intently, the game between the Heat and the Pacers had entered the second half of the second quarter.

As they thought, because the two teams played 1:1 and both wanted to take the initiative, this prompted their defense to become stronger and stronger, so that the frequent contact between the bodies prompted the referee on duty to do it. A warning was issued.

However, this situation cannot be curbed by whistling. They all want to win the game, and the confrontation will only become stronger.

a time.

Regardless of whether the game was exciting or not, Qin Tao and the others had a great time watching it.

If they are allowed to practice defense by themselves, some tactical things and their own defense will not be as clear as bystanders after all.

There are times when the defense just doesn't feel right, but watching these two teams now, something just goes away.

And when they see the exciting part, they will cheer like watching a blockbuster movie.

When the heat and the Pacers finished the first half, the Heat also relied on their core advantages to temporarily lead the Pacers by seven points with a score of 55:48.

During their intermission, Qin Tao and the others naturally would not continue to stare at the screen. Although the cheerleaders are good-looking, they are immune to watching them every day.

During the break, McHale stood directly in front of the screen and gave Qin Tao and the others a brief summary of the previous game.

The first is synergy and cooperation between players.

McHale made an analogy for this point. If more than half of them can maintain the same defensive and offensive attitudes, then if they are supplemented by offense, they will really be at least one step stronger.

of course.

McHale also knows that this thing is really not just talking.

Anyone who plays a professional knows that if you are talented on the offensive end, and then rely on your energy to defend, then first of all, your physical strength and spirit are not enough to complete such a heavy task.

But it doesn't mean that no one can do this. At least for a while, Kobe played like this, with full aggressiveness on the offensive end and fierce oppression on the defensive end.

But this kind of people is only a minority after all. If they can attack and defend with all viciousness, it would be a bit unthinkable not to become a superstar.

So at this time, it's time for the role players to make a move.

Taking the Rockets as an example, if Harden and Qin Tao fully focus on the offensive end, then Asik, Jeremy Lin and Parsons must be required to work hard on the defensive end.

Otherwise, their offense is smooth and powerful, but others only need to defend against other role players, and only the two of them can play. The final result is really hard to say.

At least in the NBA, there are many such things, such as the Thunder that have been eliminated.

For defense, McHale really has a headache.

If it is said that last year, he deliberately trained the Rockets' defense and played defense for a period of time, but this season, with the adjustment of personnel and the rise of Harden and Qin Tao, playing defense is not so good. What's up.

of course.

His vision is still very far-reaching.

After the Warriors showed great potential, he has a keen sense of the future.

But it hasn't exaggerated to the point of a small lineup, but he is very keen on offense.

But just like the problems they are encountering now, if they are still at the level of the first round of the playoffs, they naturally don't need to care about such "small things".

But all the way to the Western Conference Finals can be called a miracle, not to mention the defense is a bit too inflated.

As the old saying goes, offense wins box office and defense wins championships.

Now that they are playing one game less, they need to improve their fault tolerance and try their best to win the games they should win.

then.

McHale took the opportunity to talk about the defensive tactics of the Heat and the Pacers, and how to break their zone defense combined with man-to-man tactics, and then the game between the two teams began again.

In the second half of the game, the Heat and the Pacers played very aggressively.

The physical confrontation is constantly escalating, and the defensive intensity is getting stronger and stronger.

When the third quarter was over, the two teams were sent off two people brazenly.

On the Pacers' side is Lance Stephenson, and on the Heat's side is the close thug Haslem.

Both were sent off, prompting a great deal of uncertainty on the pitch.

But if you analyze it carefully, it is obvious that the Heat are stronger. After all, they have the Big Three on their side.

And the end result is basically the same.

The Big Three of the Heat made a strong impact, and it only took the first 5 minutes for the Pacers' defense to be broken, and eventually collapsed directly.

The audience is over.

Relying on the performance of the giants and tough defense, the Heat won the third game with a 115:100 advantage of [-] points.

after the game.

Only scored four points in the last quarter, but James, who averaged eight points in the first three quarters, became the MVP of the game.

In an interview on the sidelines, James gave the Pacers a very high evaluation.

Especially Paul George who is playing against him, he is very optimistic about this little brother and will become a top star in the future.

As the host, the Pacers did not receive an interview with TNT, but after Paul George was selected by Fox Sports, everything he said reflected what the leader should do.

He said.

This game will be played like this, and that is entirely his responsibility. He did not communicate well with his teammates, nor did he do what the coach asked him to do.

But anyone who has watched this game will understand that this game is not his responsibility at all.

On the defensive end, Paul George tough steel James, that is not timid at all.

Even though his strength and body are not as good as James, Paul George still never retreated half a step, trying his best to block James' footsteps.

Simultaneously.

虽说他的防守只能打60分，但在詹姆斯的防守下，他可是全场拿到了30分9篮板6助攻和2抢断的巨星数据的。

You must know that James only scored 28 points this time, and his rebounds and assists are not as good as him.
