Chapter 372
The Heat attacked, James controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and observed his teammates. The Hornets adopted a man-to-man approach. The Heat players had no chance, so facing Paul George, they suddenly started to accelerate and rushed in!

James is a player with his own system, and the most suitable tactic for him is to shoot from one star!Use your powerful breakthrough ability to force the opponent to assist in the defense, and then distribute the ball to the shooter on the outside, who takes the opportunity to make a shot!And Presti knows this too well, so he still uses Paul George to defend alone!Although Paul George can't prevent James, he can be slightly restricted and delay his speed!

In his previous life, when Paul George was "fighting against James" in the Eastern Pacers, Paul George faced James. Although Paul George couldn't guard James, he could delay the speed!When James rushes to the basket, the Pacers' Hibbert in the early stage and Turner in the late stage will help prevent interference!Sometimes staged volleyball caps!

James rushed in and rushed to the basket, Davis came to help defend, and missed the layup!Green took the rebound and quickly led the frontcourt!Give the ball to Curry!Curry takes the ball and moves to the left,
Davis came over to cover and continued to play the pick and roll! , With the help of a cover left breakthrough was blocked by Bosh, Curry took a step to the middle, pretending to throw a shot!At this time, Bosh rushed over directly, and Curry took advantage of the opportunity to foul early!
Bosh's defense is actually pretty good. Heat fans in the previous life often criticized Bosh's defense, but the main reason was that Bosh's inside defense was not good. Although Bosh played the position of power forward, he was more of a small forward in terms of size and style of play. If Bosh was in the small ball era in the previous life, he would be very popular!
The main reason this time is that I am too afraid of Curry's shooting. Letting Curry shoot in this position is basically two points for sure!Curry made two free throws, Wade quickly led the frontcourt, and suddenly started to accelerate facing Thompson!Go easy!Wade's current breakthrough is still a must in the league!After rushing in, Green came over to block, and Wade directly scored Bosh in the low post!When Green went back to defend, Bosh opened the shot!Go in!
Green was in a hurry for this ball, he threw it too fast, before Wade came in, he was anxious to block it, of course it was also because Wade's breakthrough ability was too sharp!
The Hornets attacked, and the players pulled away. With a simple move from the side, Curry passed the ball to Thompson in the middle. The latter attracted Wade to switch and pass to Green.Davis immediately divided the basket again, and Haslem immediately covered Davis!
Davis in this position is a bit uncomfortable for him. His head is open and he wants to squeeze Haslem away, but Haslem weighs 235 pounds and Davis weighs 220 pounds.Everyone in the Heat is staring at them very hard, and they are determined not to pass the ball.

Davis couldn't dribble anymore. At this time, Paul George asked the defense to meet Davis. Davis immediately passed the ball to Paul George, but there was a mistake.Bosh was active in defense, double-teamed in time and went around the front to steal successfully!After getting the ball, James made a long pass and made a quick pass!
James is very fast, rushing to the frontcourt with the ball, and directly takes off with the tomahawk and dunks!Once James has a chance to break fast, then this point is basically a must. Unless there is a foul, when James rushes up, not only can't catch up, but more importantly, who can block a rushing tank!
The Hornets attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball in the middle. Facing Wade, Davis immediately stepped forward and played a pick-and-roll. It would be extremely unwise for Curry to single Wade. Wade's speed and explosive power will make Curry very uncomfortable!
With the help of the pick-and-roll, the Heat were forced to switch defenses. Curry faced Haslem this time and played decisively in singles!Other players in the Heat also understand very well that it is impossible for Haslem to guard Curry, Bosh and James are ready to make up at any time!

Curry changed direction continuously, directly to the right, and passed easily!At this time, Bosh quickly made up to block Curry's breakthrough route, but Green cut over from the basket, the ball immediately passed, and Green took the ball and made a strong move!James rushed over to cover!Beep!The whistle blew, and James made a thug foul!
Curry and Davis playing pick-and-rolls are unsolvable for the current Heat lineup on the field. Of course, if the Heat play a small-ball lineup and let James play at the 5th position, then the pick-and-roll can be easily solved, but the Heat's penalty area has once again become a stab for thousands of people!In short, the shortcomings of the Heat's lineup are too obvious!
The Heat attacked, and Wade continued to attack Thompson. This time Thompson changed his defense and let Wade shoot to prevent his breakthrough.Hit!
Although Wade opened the middle distance, Presti did not intend to change his defense against Wade. Wade's killing move was at the basket!

The Hornets offense, this time handed over to Paul George, Paul George faced James in the middle, it is much more difficult for Paul George to defend, in the playoffs Paul George shot 46%, and the three-pointer reached 39.8%, the projection is very stable!It is very difficult to make defensive shots. Obviously James chose defensive shots this time. Paul George seized this momentary opportunity to speed up his breakthrough and go to the left, passing James directly. James chased and defended, but he really couldn’t catch up.That is James is chasing and defending, but he can't catch up at all!

Seeing Paul George's speed, Bosh and Haslem gave up the help defense directly. Paul George went to the basket, took off directly, and dunked with one arm!This split button directly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the climax, the entire New Orleans arena boiled, and the Hornets' bench jumped up in surprise, frantically tossed the towel, and then danced embarrassingly with each other's shoulders!
Beep!The Heat paused, and the Hornets' momentum was fully up. Spoelstra knew very well that it might take a quarter if he didn't pause again!
After returning from the timeout, the Heat attacked. This time Chalmers tried to hold the ball. After picking and rolling with Haslem, he immediately passed to Wade, who was running on the side. Green switched defenses in time!Wade held the ball in a misplaced position, broke through without hesitation, Europe stepped into the penalty area in the middle, faced Green's defense and threw a shot, avoiding the blocked shot and scoring!

It is simply impossible to limit Wade to death. Wade's arsenal is still very comprehensive, and Green's defense is no problem at all!
The Hornets attacked, Davis continued to come over to cover, and still replaced Haslem for Curry to single out. As long as the Heat did not replace Haslem, Presti would resolutely use Curry to single!This time Haslem knew that if he posted it, he would be completely wiped out, so he took two steps directly. If Curry shot directly, then the splicing of the long arm can still interfere a little bit!

Curry faced Haslem's crotch continuously, swayed left and right, suddenly changed direction to the right, and took a step forward. Haslem quickly moved laterally, but Curry dribbled the ball to his right hand, changed direction and swayed away, directly received the ball and stepped back to shoot!
Haslem was completely shaken away, and he could only interfere slightly when he stretched out his hand, and he hit a three-pointer steadily!Traditional big men are completely unable to guard against Curry's excellent shooting and breakthrough guards. Curry is best at playing small and big!I remember the Warriors and Cavaliers finals in the previous life, when Curry singled Love, that was really bad tempered!
The Heat attacked, James went to the top of the arc, faced Paul George and called a pick-and-roll this time, Haslem stepped forward to cover, Davis did not come out at all, Haslem did not threaten the projection, received the screen breakthrough, Haslem went down!The high throw wanted to come for an alley, but Davis immediately stood up!The beep sounded, Haslem knocked over Davis, offensive foul!Another successful defense.

"The Heat are completely suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense! This year the Heat should be dead again!" Barkley said while looking at the field and shaking his head.

Chris Webber said: "Not necessarily, the Heat haven't adjusted yet. Don't forget that they have the best small forward, the best shooting guard and the top power forward! These are the three top players in the league at their peak."

Just as he was talking, Paul George once again used Davis's cover to hit the mid-range!
The Heat attack, James takes the top of the arc, the players pull away, James is going to singles, the Heat have not scored a point for several rounds in a row, the superstar must stand up to solve the problem, start!Strongly rushing to Paul George, George still delayed, James rushed to the basket, Davis assisted in the defense, and scored the ball in the air confrontation!
Here, Curry quickly serves to Paul George, Paul George accelerates to lead the frontcourt, and points to Thompson in the bottom corner. Wade pounces, Thompson shakes, and shoots!Hollow hits!
"It's really hard for the Heat to score! Look at the Hornets scoring easily with one conversion!" Barkley sighed.

"The Heat's configuration is too deformed. Except for Wade, James, Bosh, other players can't compare with the Hornets at all. At least the score is not too wide now. The competition of the substitute lineup will be a disaster for the Heat," Chris Webber said.

The Heat attacked, and James continued to kill the inside. This time, the Hornets quickly contracted and immediately gave the ball to Wade.

Davis grabbed the rebound and gave it to Curry, who passed it to Paul George. Paul George accelerated to the frontcourt and hit the ground to Green who was charging in the middle. Green took three steps with the ball.Green made a layup without pressure!
The Heat attacked, Wade took it to the frontcourt and passed it to James. James hit Paul George with a low back, sat down and pushed to a deep position, turned around and wiped the defense, and made a layup!At this time, Davis flew over to block, and James just clicked and swayed for a layup before hitting the layup!

The Hornets attacked, Curry quickly led the frontcourt, Davis continued to come to the pick-and-roll, this time Wade squeezed through the defense desperately, not letting Curry have space, facing Wade did not force to play, but broke through with the ball, Paul George on the outside line, Paul George forced James to pass, and then Thompson on the outside line, Thompson took the ball and did not immediately shoot, because Chalmers quickly fell into position,
Hold the ball and want to rush to Chamos!But as expected, it was cut!Chalmers got the ball to James!James played a fast break alone, and the Hornets gave up defense directly!Dunk in the frontcourt!
At this time, Presti got up and said to Curry who dribbled over: "Give the ball to Davis. Davis' low post will also be a nightmare for the Heat!"

Curry nodded, took the frontcourt, and transferred directly to Davis in the low post!Davis took the ball with his back to Haslem, turned over and leaned back after hitting it!Although Haslem was very annoyed to interfere, he still hit easily!

Davis and his substitute David West's low-post offense has no way for the Heat. It can be said that Presti has N ways to beat the Heat. In the last finals, there was still a possibility of winning when James, Wade, etc. had good hands, but after reinforcing Davis this year, the Heat's current configuration has no chance.

On the last attack of the first quarter, Bosh hit Green face-to-face, and the breakthrough missed under Green's interference!Bosh's physical condition can't beat Green, but Green can also keep up with the breakthrough!It was very uncomfortable for Bosh to beat Green. At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led the Heat by 31 points at 22:9!
In the second quarter, Presti dispatched Livingston, Ray Allen, Jimmy Butler, David West, and Whiteside. The offensive position was the main battle. David West was the axis to attract the Heat's double-teaming.

The Heat kept James on the court, and added Norris Cole, Mike Miller, Battier, and Birdman Anderson. Cole, Mike Miller, and Battier all have good three-point capabilities and can open up space for James, while Anderson is in charge of the inside!A lineup that is really suitable for James, the Heat's formation of such a lineup is nothing more than planning to chase points on the bench!
But the big problem with the Heat's lineup is that the defense is not good, which is much worse than the starting lineup, whether it is outside or inside!

James led the frontcourt and easily broke through Jimmy Butler's defense!Although Jimmy Butler is also a defensive tough guy, he is 201cm tall and has a wingspan of only 202cm. It can be said that he is not talented enough to defend a center like James.
James' defense from the bench is the same as that of the starter, one-on-one defense. As for the inability to limit James' scoring, it doesn't matter at all. Presti would like to play all James singles, which will consume James' physical strength.

The Hornets attack and give the ball to David West. David West hits Battier with his back and sits down. He can’t defend at all. He turns around and slips to the baseline, gets past Battier and hits a hook. It’s impossible for the Heat to restrict David West without double-teaming.
