The strongest basket king

Chapter 331 Can't Wait

During the finals, Jim Smith did not intend to distract Xiang Chu. He pushed some meeting requests to the back and accompanied Xiang Chu to prepare for the game.

He's so excited that his players have a good chance of taking the throne after a few games.

Olivia was more excited than this guy, and it seemed that everyone around her was even more excited than Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu is excited during the competition, but at other times, his mind is basically on how to beat his opponent.

The frequency of his communication with George Karl has increased in the past few days. He will immediately communicate with the coaching staff when he has new ideas after the simulated game. George Karl doubts that he can lead a team as a coach now. .

Although the Heat have already won two championships, no one will dislike the number of championships. They can't find a suitable meat shield now, so they have studied the details of the game many times in the past two days.

Do the details well, and then just like the Nuggets, use the power of the stars to solve the game.

On June 6, the second game between the Nuggets and the Heat came as scheduled, which attracted much attention.

Both sides are the original starters, there is no need for the Nuggets to adjust, and it is difficult for the Heat to adjust.

Now that small lineups are becoming more and more popular, the Heat never thought that they would encounter unavoidable problems in the interior.

The big center can't defend, the big center is outdated, is it true?

At the beginning of the Heat game, Bosh and Lewis were allowed to pull out to shoot. The big man was pulled outside, and the shooting opportunities could still come out.

The two of them shot okay, and they looked neither bad nor bad, slightly better than when they played.

The Heat's defense is not purely pinching, they are interviewing the team's defensive contraction, and when the Nuggets ball turns to that side, there must be preparations to pinch it inside.

Coupled with the need to defend the Nuggets' outside line, the requirements for the defender's movement speed and anticipation are very high.

In this regard, the Heat are relatively adaptable. They have tried a lot to deal with teams with inside attacks, but other teams do not have the super strength of Xiangchu. Coach Spoelstra made some fine-tuning of the defensive tactics.

Judging from the first quarter, the Heat's defensive quality is really good.

Of course, it's mainly about movement. Xiang Chu still has no solution as soon as he receives the ball.

Bosh can also make shots from the outside, as if it is really impossible to carry Xiang Chu.

Spoelstra took a look and decided to stagger Bosh and Xiang Chu. In less than half a quarter, the Heat replaced Anderson.

Although Anderson couldn't handle it, he was just a blue-collar man. Whether it was a foul or anything else, just use it up as much as possible, and don't let Xiang Chu beat him too much.

This strategy is correct, Bosh should be used on the offensive end, but the fundamental problem has not been resolved.

Xiang Chu scored in double figures in the first quarter, but the Heat didn't make a three-pointer. The Nuggets also gained the lead by virtue of Xiang Chu's offense.

The Nuggets' outside shooting is still not good, but all outside shots that can play with the ball scored.

Knight played Chalmers twice. After Williams came up, his scoring ability was no worse than Ray Allen.

It seems that the Heat's defense is not bad, but they have always been behind.

At this time, any tactics are empty, that is, someone must stand up and score.

In the second quarter, James couldn't bear it anymore, and if this continues, the team will lose again.

He started to have a strong personal offense. Although the Nuggets took turns to consume James, if they really wanted to defend, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Generally, all-star players can have a matchup advantage, let alone a player like James.

The Nuggets didn't go to flank, James played the ball very well.

They fight when they don't have the ball, interfere when they have the ball, and try to make James mid-range.

Outside players are different from inside players. It is easier for Xiang Chu to hit a high shooting percentage. If he wants to score a game with James, the Nuggets are willing.

Of course, if James breaks in, Xiang Chu will definitely help defend.

If James passes the ball at this time, it depends on the Nuggets' defensive rotation speed.

They are not as good as the Heat, but they will not let Heat players easily get open opportunities.

Anyway, if the player defending James is passed, don't continue to chase, but switch to other people on the outside of the Heat, and there will naturally be players to supplement the defense.

It's not just Xiang Chu alone, if there are other people near the three-second zone, they will also choose to attack.

In fact, it is the same as the pick-and-roll and switch defense. It is an overall defensive move.

The overall defense of modern basketball can be said to be much stronger. If James doesn't want to play such a complicated game, he can keep pulling the middle distance.

Because the efficiency shown by the Heat outside is not very high, James is mainly in individual singles in the second quarter.

He's full of energy now, and he's shooting from the mid-range at a high rate.

But Xiang Chu's performance in the interior was still wonderful. Before the end of the first half, Xiang Chu's rebounds were in double figures.

If Xiang Chu's singles can be limited by the Heat sometimes, the rebounds are really helpless. The Heat's insiders are not heavy enough, and it is difficult to get stuck.

Relying on James' offense, the Heat's performance in the second quarter was about the same as that of the Nuggets.

The two teams are now relying on the core to play strongly. If James starts playing as soon as he comes up, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to lead in the score now. Once the atmosphere of the finals comes up, the role players will really weaken a lot.

It doesn't mean that role players can't play. This needs an opportunity to activate. Maybe once activated, they can directly solve the game with more points like the Spurs.

In the first half, Xiang Chu scored 21+10, and the Nuggets also led by 6 points.

During the intermission, Xiang Chu said to everyone: "If the opponent wants to grind and play well, just fight them."

It is very difficult to speed up the star matchup, and it is indeed a suitable way for the Nuggets. They do not want to change.

George Karl also felt good, and immediately gave the players opinions on the Heat's performance in the first half.

When the players are playing games, the coaching staff is doing their own work. They will give the observations and suggestions to the head coach, and then the head coach will make adjustments. This is the most important thing during the intermission. It seems that Say a few words but definitely not casually.

Xiang Chu seized the time to eat something to replenish his strength, and infinite energy cannot appear out of thin air. He also consumes a lot between games, and he can't stand it without eating.

At the beginning of the second half, James attacked more resolutely.

Moreover, the Heat have begun to pay more attention to offense, and everyone plays decisively.

There is no doubt that they also made adjustments during the halftime break. They don't want to play against the Nuggets anymore. It is offense, and they must rely on offense to solve the problem.

As James scored 2 consecutive three-pointers, the Heat caught up with the score.

Everyone in the Nuggets felt the pressure on their faces, and the Heat fought hard, and they have this ability.

If they can't return it, they can only be the background board for this game.
