Chapter 348 Battle of the Century!

new York.

In May, the rain in New York continued, which made people upset. The people who came to Miami felt upset after staying here for two days, but this upset may not be due to the weather, it may also be The pressure from the opponent.

Inside the Hilton Hotel, the rain was pattering outside the window, and the Miami Big Three, Eric Spoelstra and others were sitting inside the window. President Pat Riley was also present, and they gathered to discuss how to deal with the Knicks.

Spoelstra said: "Stoudemire's reimbursement for the season is a great benefit for us. If Stoudemire is here, our inside will be tight. Now only Bogut, Chandler and Gallinari are left. The interior offensive ability is slightly insufficient, as long as we can contain the Knicks outside, then we will be able to win this round of the series smoothly."

Wade frowned and said: "The key is that Gatsby is not easy to defend. Boston's defense in the last two games is very clear, which is to limit Gatsby, but they can't do it!"

James said: "Chalmers has proven in the regular season that he can't restrain Gatsby. Let him defend me, and I think something big will happen!"

Bosh nodded his head like a giraffe: "Our best defensive method of pressing the ball holder on the strong side may not be able to prevent him. His ball is too fast. Once he is let out, Cameron and Martin Not ordinary people, their ability to seize opportunities is not bad."

The conference room suddenly fell into silence. Gatsby has become a headache for all opponents. He has too many routines, and the team doesn't know how to target him.

Pat Riley made a decision: "In any case, Gatsby cannot be allowed to open, even if three people pinch him, he cannot be opened. Once he opens, the Knicks will open. I would rather let other people beat us. Don't let him open it!"

Pat Riley clearly understood that Gatsby is the Knicks' engine. Once Gatsby is fully operational, the Knicks will be difficult to stop. Only by strangling Gatsby can the Heat have a chance to win!

The Knicks are also in a meeting.

They are discussing how to limit James and Wade.

D'Antoni called Gatsby's name: "Gatsby, what do you think?"

Gatsby reclined on the comfortable sofa, and when D'Antoni called him, he quickly sat upright and said with a smile, "Coach, it doesn't make much sense to just discuss how to restrict the two of them, we have to think about it holistically."

D'Antoni's eyes lit up, and he knew that Gatsby's vision was always sharp, and as long as he put forward a point of view, it would have a great effect.

"It's not a good thing to simply discuss Janeway. The Heat are a team with three superstars attacking the ball and supplementing role shooters. It would be a big mistake if we focus on them." Gates Bi smiled.

Anthony was surprised: "Don't we focus on defending them? Instead, we have to defend other role players, then we will be beaten!"

Gatsby looked around at the others, and their expressions clearly agreed with Anthony.

"emmm!"

Gatsby smiled: "What LeBron is good at is attacking with the ball and then distributing the ball to the shooter. Wade also has a similar role. Of course they are both super scorers, but compared to super scorers, their The most terrible thing is to split the ball and connect the teams.

To deal with this heat, let's talk about defense first. We don't want to man to man. This method is very effective against teams with insufficient talent. Against James Way's team, we will be suddenly killed. We need to use a lot of zone defense. Coupled with a bold contraction, let Wade and James go long shots, they can't kill us!

Our offense should be centered on Cameron, with me as the transfer axis, Danilo, Wilson, Kevin, and Chauncey as shooters. What the Heat are best at is a large number of pincers, as long as we pass the ball quickly , their pincer attack will be broken without attacking!

But the premise is that we must create opportunities for them to attack. My idea is this:

——Me and Chandler's pick and roll, which is to let them flank me;

——Me and Cameron's low-post screen forced James to chase me, giving Cameron the opportunity to single out in the low post to attract a flanker. Once flanked, Cameron, you should know what to do. "

Anthony smiled: "This is something I've been familiar with for a long time. It's too simple to split the ball when you attack!"

Everyone laughed.

Gatsby smiled and said: "That's it. There is another method that I will use only when I have to. I will go down to the low post to single Chalmers, but this kind of opportunity will not be too many, because Wade may confront me. position, although it can also be played, but the efficiency will not be too high, so it can only be used as a backup."

D'Antoni exclaimed, "Gatsby, I've got a lot of confidence after hearing you say that."

Gatsby smiled and said: "Hey, this is still your usual teaching, coach. I just thought about it more. Oh, by the way, James may misplace me at that time. At that time, the defensive strategy will not change, just switch defenses directly." Yes, keep the zone defense. In addition, Tyson, when switching defenses against James and Wade, let him take long shots, and defend against their breakthroughs, switch defenses must be firm!"

Chandler nodded.

"In short, high pick-and-roll, transfer, grasp the open shot; Cameron is double-teamed, split the ball, not double-teamed, singles; Chauncey and I try to push the rhythm. We need to move the ball smoothly and run without the ball. Move hard, rush to the offensive rebounds, grasp the shooting opportunities, that's it, do these, facing the Miami Heat, we will definitely win!" Gatsby made a summary.

Even though Anthony and Billups have long been accustomed to Gatsby's monster, Gatsby's overall strategic vision still shocked them. Even they, old ball players, cannot be as far-sighted as Gatsby. Not even D'Antoni!

Well, geniuses exist after all!
