NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 50
Entering the huge Miami arena, this feeling seems to be wrapped in a black ocean, which makes people feel stressed and suffocated.

Every fan is wearing a black shirt issued by the arena, waving the items in their hands wildly.

With Wade's first appearance and the arrival of Shaquille O'Neal, it seems that this Heat team has brought infinite vitality.

This made the fans seem to see the championship beckoning to them, and further felt that the championship was so close to them.

And the loud shouts from the side made Liu Rui frowned.

In the new season, the two vigorous teams met in the first game of the opening game.

But the difference is that there seems to be a big disparity in the strength of the two teams.

At least from the perspective of the outside world, no one thinks that the Bobcats can win the game.

With the introduction of the game broadcaster one by one, the players played one after another, and the starting list of the two teams was also announced.

Heat starting lineup:
Shaquille O'Neal, Haslem, Rasu Butler, Wade, Eddie Jones.

Bobcats starting lineup:
Brezek, Wallace, Kapono, Bernard Robinson, House.

For the starting game of this game, Liu Rui did not arrange a direct confrontation between Buffalo White and O'Neal.

Because although White can bring O'Neal some troubles on the defensive end.

However, facing the Heat with Shaquille O'Neal and Haslem inside, if White is sent to play on the offensive end, it will bring a big deviation to Wallace's personal efficiency and the team's overall offense.

Therefore, instead of choosing to restrict O'Neal at the beginning, Liu Rui felt that it would be better to use Brezek and O'Neal to check and balance each other at the beginning.

On the defensive end, Brezek really couldn't guard O'Neal in 1V1.

But on the offensive end, Brezek was able to pull O'Neal beyond the three-point line.

As early as the Lakers period, O'Neal was most annoyed by defending pick-and-rolls and outside switches.

He is really like a big shark, preferring to sit on the basket, waiting for other players to break through, and giving them a big hat.

In order to accommodate O'Neal, the Heat will switch defenses and rotate on the defensive end.

Then the rotation of the Bobcats will definitely create open opportunities. Whether it is House, Kapono, or Brezek, Liu Rui has never doubted their open three-pointers.

The two sides jumped the ball, and the ball was taken by Brezek.

After halftime, this time it was Brezek holding the ball at the top of the arc in the middle, watching O'Neal in front of him not sticking to the free throw line.

Without any hesitation, according to his usual practice, Brezek took a little aim and made a decisive three-pointer.

sigh~
The ball crashed into the net!

3:0
No one thought that the first goal in the opening game would come so quickly, and it was such a simple goal.

Without any tactical moves, it's just a one-on-one three-point shot.

In this regard, Van Gundy frantically gestured to the Heat players off the court.

Based on his preseason observations, Van Gundy thought that Liu Rui would mention Buffalo White to the starting lineup in this game to check and balance O'Neal.

But never expected that Liu Rui would take the risk and continue to use Brezek as the team's starting center.

This arrangement disrupted Van Gundy's explanation before the game.

In the opening game, Brezek scored an open three-pointer.

Van Gundy hurriedly signaled the players to make changes on the defensive end. Presumably, Van Gundy also did further investigation and research on Brezek before the game.

Barkley in the TNT studio: "Oh! My God, what did I see!! Only six seconds into the opening, the Bobcats scored their first goal of the game on the Heat."

"I think this is something that everyone didn't think of before the game. This is a tactic without any running position. It is a three-pointer shot by the player on the court according to the situation. It is so simple, so straightforward, but so effective!!"

"I think a large number of experts will be slapped in the face for predicting the result of this game. I have always believed that coach Liu Rui is a magical guy."

Smith: "No.No.No. The Heat must have suffered from unpreparedness. I think in the next round, if the Bobcats do not make enough adjustments before the game, then after that, it will be difficult for them to get this opportunity to score again."

"So I don't think there will be any change in the final result of this game, and this goal can only help the Bobcats collapse more slowly. If you don't believe it, let us wait and see."

And at the beginning of the game, Brezek made such a three-pointer on his head, which made O'Neal's face not very good-looking.

On the Heat's next possession, O'Neal used his massive frame to position himself deep under the rim.

Wade understood and lobbed the ball to O'Neal under the basket.

When facing O'Neill, Brezek exerted all the strength in his body, all the blood vessels in his body were stretched, and even his face was flushed.

But it still failed to prevent a physically energetic O'Neal from scoring at the basket.

With O'Neal turning around and throwing at the basket.

score came
3:2
In the Bobcats' offense, the Heat have switched defenses based on Van Gundy's adjustments.

The Heat are not going to guard man-to-man, but in order to accommodate O'Neal, the Heat have carried out a zone defense.

It's just because of the terrifying three-point firepower of the outside players of the Bobcats, although the Heat's defense can keep O'Neal from coming out at the basket.

But this is a pain for the Heat's outside players. The biggest shortcoming of the second and third defenses is that they are afraid of teams with strong three-point firepower.

It's just that in this era, there are still very few teams that have been shooting three-pointers. Players prefer to hit the basket and find physical confrontation for free throws.

Therefore, the second and third joint defenses can often work wonders in this situation.

But with Kapono and House, the Bobcats not only shoot more three-pointers, but also have a long range.

So this requires the other players of the Heat to make up for the perimeter defects caused by O'Neal's defensive end by constantly moving and rotating.

And if you want to defend the three-two zone defense, O'Neal can indeed not come out at the basket, and further limit the outside line of the Bobcats.

But the biggest disadvantage of the three-two defense lies in the two bottom corners.

Based on O'Neal's current lateral speed, it is difficult to take into account the two positions of the basket and the foot at the same time.

The Bobcats, through non-stop running and rotating the ball, finally Wallace broke through the inside and scored the ball, giving the teenager Robinson who was open at a 45-degree angle.

Robinson raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

sigh~
6:2
Looking at Robinson who was high-fiving the players on the court, Liu Rui also smiled off the court, and took the orange in his hand and ate it with confidence...
