Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 365
The Heat have a very important feature. Their interior defense is terrible, unless it can be slightly improved when Haslem is replaced, and the starting Bosh + Anthony can basically only make the interior into a sieve.But their perimeter defense is very strong. Although James and Wade are the top offensive players in the league, their defense should not be underestimated either. Direct steals from the outside and then fast-break counterattack dunks are their consistent style.

Therefore, when the Blazers are attacking, the Heat's inside line is a point that can be used, or let Aldridge hold the ball in singles, or let the players on the weak side keep trying to cut the basket and attack the basket directly. There is no doubt that they can hit the Heat's weakness.

After the defensive end can only know their fate, the Blazers have to focus more on the offensive end, and they are almost fearless in this regard.But this time Ye Feng is willing to become the initiator of the attack, not the terminator. Of course, if there is an open three-pointer from the outside, he will also shoot without hesitation.

Obviously, Bosh's defense can't do anything to Aldridge. The other players in the Heat can only watch Aldridge hit mid-range shots continuously in front of Bosh.James originally planned to go up to help defend, but when he first helped defend, Aldridge transferred the ball to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng passed it to Matthews who was open because Wade came to defend. .When Matthews hit a three-pointer, James no longer dared to go in and help defend.

Aldridge's jump shot gave the Blazers more confidence. He scored 4 points on 3 of 6 shots and grabbed 3 rebounds in less than half a quarter. This shows how weak the Heat's defense and rebounds are. Degree.However, his jump shot requires physical support, and the Heat also saw this. Spoelstra walked to the sidelines and gestured to James. The latter nodded knowingly and ran to Bosh. Said something to him.

So after Aldridge received the ball in the elbow area again, James has already replaced him to defend him. Bosh mentioned that the high position prevents Ye Feng from shooting a three-pointer, and his moving speed allows him to do so.Although James is 8 centimeters shorter than Bosh, he weighs 6 kilograms more than Bosh, and he prefers physical confrontation than Bosh. It seems that Aldridge, who is not so tough in defense and relies on jump shots for food, is very good. reason.

Seeing James defending himself, Aldridge was a little nervous at first, but he soon relaxed, because he had the advantage of height, and his straight-arm jumper had a certain backward angle. He didn't believe James at all. Can block his own shots.

Aldridge guessed right, James really can't block his shots, but he doesn't need to block shots either.When Aldridge hit the back a few times and was about to turn around and shoot, James stepped forward and tightly squeezed to occupy the space. The body collision between the two directly disrupted Aldridge's shooting rhythm.As soon as the basketball was shot, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the basketball directly hit the front of the basket, and the rebound was taken away by Wade.

Aldridge didn't believe in evil, he thought it was just an accident, so he still stubbornly asked Ye Feng for the ball in the next offensive round, Ye Feng saw a clue, but he was not sure, so he passed the ball to him again hands.However, Aldridge missed another shot under the interference of James. Fortunately, Camby, who was stuck in the basket, struggled to grab the rebound this time.

This time, Ye Feng finally understood that the Heat had arranged for James to defend Aldridge, and it seemed that the defensive effect was quite obvious. With Aldridge's previous super high shooting percentage, now he has made two consecutive shots. Feng knew that it was unrealistic for Aldridge to play singles, so he could only attack by himself, so he yelled and signaled Camby to come up to cover instead of Aldridge.

Ye Feng has his own reasons for choosing Camby to play the pick-and-roll. Now it is obvious that the Heat want James to follow Aldridge on the defensive end. For James, this is the same as not having a pick-and-roll. It is better to let Camby pull up to the high position and leave Anthony at the basket, so that it is relatively easy to get to the basket.

But the plan can't keep up with the change. Camby did set a high screen to the left 45 degrees, and also blocked Bosh on the other side, but when Ye Feng just bypassed the screen, James let go of Aldridge Jumping up, Anthony came to the elbow to defend Aldridge.Ye Feng secretly sighed, as expected of No.1 in the league, he was able to make the most correct response in such a short period of time, James' worth and status really did not come for nothing.

However, just as he was about to give up the pick-and-roll and return to the three-point line to reorganize the offense, there was a change on Aldridge's side. Matthews even called for an off-ball screen from the outside. Aldridge was stunned and continued. Pulled to the high position to cover for Matthews, and by the way, Wade was stuck on the outside.Facing Anthony, Matthews was not so aggrieved. He accelerated and wiped Anthony, and quickly went to the basket.

Ye Feng was overjoyed. He leaned on James and threw the ball directly to the basket. Matthews, who made a successful cut from the weak side, received the ball and easily completed a layup.James glared at Anthony, but didn't say anything. The Blazers' round was a tactical victory. Unless Anthony was the league's top rim protector, he couldn't stop Matthews' cut layup anyway.However, James still felt a little angry. Although he was about to defend against the Blazers' attack this time, his opponent still found a loophole and scored the ball. This is undoubtedly a big blow to the morale of the Heat.

But the Blazers players gave each other high-fives. Ye Feng hugged Matthews affectionately and praised him for his wit just now.Indeed, although Ye Feng scored an assist just now, the hero who scored this goal was Matthews. It was he who made a decisive decision to pull Aldridge to a high position for off-ball screens. They were able to make it, and even McMillan applauded excitedly for them on the sidelines.

This is what McMillan wants to see the most. The players under his command did not stubbornly play according to the tactics, but waited for the opportunity according to the situation on the field, and caught the opponent's negligence in one fell swoop. Maybe they can really beat Maybe the Heat are stronger than themselves.
