Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 375

There is no doubt that the paper strength of the Heat that formed the Big Three is higher than that of the Blazers, but judging from the first quarter of the game, they are more like the weaker side. The reason is simple. The state of the Blazers in this game It was simply overwhelming, and he played at a level far beyond his own strength.

Although the Heat are temporarily behind by a big score, their pride has not weakened by half a point. It is unacceptable for them to be beaten like this by the Blazers in the first quarter. It is logical to start a large-scale counterattack in the second quarter.In order to seize the opportunity to narrow the point difference, Spoelstra no longer intends to let the Big Three be present at the same time for a long time. He prefers to keep one or two of the Big Three leading his teammates on the field.

So after the start of the second quarter, the core of the Heat's offense became Bosh. After James and Wade finished the entire first quarter, they were still resting on the bench by the head coach.McMillan was unmoved and continued to send a substitute lineup, allowing Cunningham to defend Bosh again.

But this time Cunningham failed to complete the task. Bosh's ability is far from comparable to Jones, and he also has an advantage in height.If Bosh likes to play inside the basket, it's fine. After all, Bosh is tall and has a relatively thin body, which also means that he will not be very strong in post-up singles at the basket.But Bosh often pulls to the mid-to-high position to shoot, which makes Cunningham very painful. It feels really bad that the opponent repeatedly shoots on his head with his height.

Relying on Bosh's consecutive mid-range shots, the Heat recovered the point difference slightly, but were soon hit by Batum's outside three-pointer.If at the end of the first quarter, Toum was restrained because of James' presence, then facing the Heat's substitute is a bit unscrupulous now. Whether it is a breakthrough with the ball or a strong shot from the outside, Mike Miller can do something about him None, the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

With 8 minutes and 15 seconds left, McMillan replaced the main lineup in a leisurely manner, directly suppressing the Heat's substitute.Spoelstra had no choice but to replace James, Wade and other main players, and at the same time replace Bosh with veteran Ilgauskas, allowing the latter to get a respite.

Spoelstra doesn't expect Ilgauskas to make any contribution on the court. He just needs to be able to hold on during Bosh's off-court rest. Wan Howard and Magloire are available, not to mention Joel Anthony.

In Spoelstra's view, although it is difficult for Ilgauskas to perform at the peak of the year after returning from a serious injury, his height of 2 meters is there. It is completely possible for the Blazers' assaulters to interfere, and it can even limit the Blazers' inside offense.

However, Ilgauskas is still too slow, especially when the opponents Camby and Aldridge both have mid-range shots, his role is infinitely reduced.With his movement speed, leaving the basket is equivalent to surrendering the most important area to others, so he can only stay at the basket, which leads to the Blazers maintaining a local advantage of [-]-on-[-] in the middle and high post, mid-range jumper And the three-pointers are played very well.

Although James and Wade are also desperately scoring points, only the two of them are scoring in the Heat's field lineup, and others can't help them at all.In contrast, the Trail Blazers are full of firepower. Everyone can score on the court, and the shooting percentage is not low. They are almost suppressing the Heat who are stronger than themselves in the entire second quarter. Fighting, although the point difference has not been further widened, but anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the upper hand.

After being killed by Ye Feng and Matthews on the inside, Spoelstra replaced Magloire with a livid face, because in his opinion, Bosh still needs to continue to rest, so he can only let others take this After holding on for a while, Ilgauskas was indeed a bit disappointing.

But can Magloire handle the pressure?

The Blazers told Spoelstra with practical actions that it would be useless unless he played Bosh.Although Magloire was selected as an All-Star as a substitute in the 2003-04 season, he is no longer himself. Of course, he is relatively better than Ilgauskas, but only a little bit better. The Heat's basket is still full of loopholes, and Magloire's only contribution is to grab 3 rebounds on the court.

Spoelstra used a bunch of substitute insiders to hold on for more than three minutes, and finally couldn't bear the pressure and replaced Bosh, allowing the Big Three to reintegrate.But Bosh obviously hadn't had a good rest yet. After making three consecutive shots, he consciously went inside to grab rebounds. James and Wade still had the right to shoot.In other words, they still don't get help from their teammates, and it's not a good feeling for two people to fight against the whole team.

The Blazers still held an 11-point lead at halftime, and every player on the floor scored, starting and coming off the bench.Although the home game gave them some bonuses, in the hearts of every Trail Blazers player, perhaps what Ye Feng said before the game inspired them more.

Of course, it is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the Trail Blazers to take the lead in rewriting the big score to 3 to 1, but after the baptism of last season's finals, this team already has the potential of a strong team. Momentum, such pressure has little effect on them, but can force out more of their potential.

This is what Ye Feng wants to see.His words seem very brainless and arrogant, but he hopes that this can help his teammates build a strong heart, no matter how tough the opponent is, they dare to go up and give it a go.Even if this season is still unable to win the championship, it will have far-reaching significance for the future of the Blazers. With such a strong heart, as long as the lineup is reasonable and the timing is right, it is a matter of course for the Blazers to win the championship.

After watching the first half, many media reporters were silent. They did not expect Ye Feng to really do what he said. Although he was not sure about the outcome of this game, at least from the first half, the Blazers firmly Occupying the advantage, it seems that the chances of winning the game are very high.Is it true that the Heat, which has gathered the Big Three to win the championship, will still be empty-handed this season?It's not that no one has thought this way, but it seems that more people are holding this idea now.

Leading the opponent is completely in Ye Feng's plan, he will definitely not slap himself in the face, so let's slap others in the face.
