Chapter 1093 The Arrival of the Match Point Game

The Heat's lineup is extremely mobile, with Reba on the inside as the support point and frame protection point, the offensive shooters are lined up, and the defensive defense is highly scalable, which can protect individual players with poor defensive capabilities to a large extent. Dunro and Hero.And Butler's superstar ability shown in the playoffs allowed them to step past strong teams like the Bucks and Celtics.

But in fact, the Bucks and Celtics are uncomfortable facing the Heat's zone defense, because the two teams actually lack the core players of offense and defense.

The Bucks Antetokounmpo has a serious lack of shooting, and the defensive end likes to put the opponent's top of the arc and two wings 3-pointers, which allows Crowder to shoot the most accurate 3-pointers in his career.

The Celtics didn't have a good coping ability and couldn't become the axis to crack the zone defense, and their insider Theis was eaten to death by Reba, and when Butler broke out, he was finally powerless.

So to beat the Heat, first of all, you need to be able to break the zone defense, and then you need to be able to defend against the opponent's shooters, and you need to have many excellent perimeter defenders.

The Clippers have Xie Kai, Paojiao and Beverly, three outside first-defense defensive champions, who can steadily cover the opponent's Dun Luo, Hiro and Butler.

Although Reba can defend and support, he is very comprehensive, but he has a big problem. First, he cannot shoot 3-pointers like thick eyebrows, and he lacks the ability to open up space; second, as an insider, he does not have a strong attack. Ability, unable to make the Clippers' "5Out lineup" pay the price.

This is why it was predicted before the game that the Clippers defeated the Heat 4:1 to win the championship, because it is true that from all aspects of analysis, the two teams are not at the same level.

After the start of the game, the Heat did not surprise anyone, they defended the familiar zone defense.

There are relatively few defensive zone defenses in the NBA. A large part of it is because of the existence of three seconds of defense.The existence of the defensive three seconds prevents the defender's inside line from staying under the basket to protect the basket, which greatly reduces the power of the zone defense.

The Heat's zone defense position is very interesting. There is nothing surprising about Reba standing in the middle. Two white shooters stand off the line respectively, and Butler and Claude are on the line.

Spoelstra's arrangement is of course to protect these two players, because the defensive pressure on the line is high and they are easy to be eaten by people.

Compared with man-to-man, zone defense can hide the shortcomings of players' lack of individual defensive ability to the greatest extent, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to miss people, and it has higher requirements for players' defensive positions and cooperation.

The Clippers' style of play is direct and effective, which is to let Xie Kai, who has the best passing ability on the field, go to the free throw line to support, and the rest of the shooters will open up space.

The "5Out lineup" is very restrained against the zone defense, because what the zone defense is most afraid of is the support near the 3-pointer and the free throw line.

And once it falls into a one-on-one situation, whoever Dun Luo and Hiro defends will hit them, or they will play a pick-and-roll with the person they are defending, or they will be pulled out to fight.

The NBA is indeed a place where the weak prey on the strong. If you have a loophole on the defensive end, you will be stared at and beaten. There is nothing you can do.

Jimmy Butler's ability to hold and control the ball has improved rapidly, and he is already a stable core with the ball.But he has an obvious flaw, that is, he is inaccurate in 3-point shots, and he makes few shots, and he can even be missed.

James' 3 points are not particularly accurate, but now no one dares to let him go easily.Jimmy can shoot suddenly, but the 3-pointer is really not good, which makes Xie Kai, who defends him, even give him a step, just to prevent you from breaking through.

The Heat have a lot of off-ball blocking and cutting, while the Clippers have a lot of switching defenses, which are blocking and cutting and off-ball screens aimed at you.

Except for Butler, the Heat's offensive ability with the ball is limited. Originally, Dragic would have two shots if he was not injured, but he was injured in the Eastern Conference Finals and needed a truce for 1-2 games. The team's offensive starting point is one less.

Xie Kai almost became the axis of the offensive end. He didn't shoot many shots, but he assisted a lot.The Clippers are rich in shooting resources. With a space leader like him, other players only need to move and don't have to worry about the ball not reaching their hands.

Judging from the scene, this is simply a beating.It feels easy for the Clippers to score. After a few passes, the opportunity will come out, but it is very difficult for the Heat to score.

Many people realize that these two teams are not at the same level at all.

Many people lamented on the Internet that the Los Angeles Derby in the Western Conference Finals was the most exciting round of the series this season, and the finals have ended early.

There was no suspense about the result of the game. The Clippers took the opponent lightly and won G1.

After the game, many people were bragging about how awesome the Clippers were, and compliments like the finals ending early.

Xie Kai was very calm and calm in the locker room. He beat his teammates: "The series is not over yet. Before we have won 4 games, any relaxation and underestimation of the enemy is extremely dangerous. If Miami is really that bad, They can't beat Milwaukee, they can't beat Boston!"

Xie Kai's words refreshed the Clippers' generals. Indeed, winning was too easy and it felt fake. This Heat team is not bad, because everyone knows the strength of the Bucks and Celtics. How could it be possible for these two teams to advance to the finals like G1!
Xie Kai's caution really helped them, because Dragic made a comeback in G2 of the finals.Although Dragic's personal offensive state is mediocre after paying, the Heat's offensive routines have been enriched and become more difficult to defend, and they have learned from the experience of the first game. , it is difficult for the Clippers to create shots by simply passing the ball.

The Clippers are in their biggest challenge since the Finals.Of course, compared to the hand-to-hand fights in the last few games of the Western Conference Finals, today is actually better. Compared with G1 of the finals, the difficulty is really several levels higher.

But the Clippers still won, but with fewer points!
The Clippers lead 2:0!

The trend of G3 in the finals was similar to that of G2. The Clippers played hard, but the result remained the same.

After a 3:0 lead, the Clippers have basically won the first championship trophy in team history.

On October 10, G7 of the NBA Finals.

If the Heat lose this game again, they will be swept out.Although the championship is basically hopeless, it is still a bit ugly to be swept away, so they are likely to fight to the death.

But the Clippers don't want to have long nights and dreams, they will think about ending the battle in this game.Everyone has been away from home for a long time, and they are tired of living in the bubble, and they all want to go home to meet relatives and friends.

A mix of emotions made it feel like the last game of the season.

The O'Brien Cup and the Bill Russell Cup have been transported to the game site, because this game is a match point game, and it is likely to give birth to the championship of this season.
