Chapter 577 In the way of him, he is also in the body

"Is it better to short Dwyane than to short LeBron?" Webber said a little puzzled.

Barkley said playfully: "Chris, you've been focusing on playing with beauties in recent years, and you haven't watched much of the game. Do you think LeBron is still the same LeBron who faced the Pistons back then? His current 3-pointer , the hit rate is not low at all!"

In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors not only made their opponents uncomfortable on the defensive end, but Jeremy Lin and DeRozan played extremely decisively on the offensive end, and their enthusiasm and aggression were obviously different from the previous games.In the first two games, they played too stiffly and depressedly, and were completely suffocated.

With more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Ying Xiong took a rest, which was earlier than his rest time in the previous games.This made Coach Spoelstra, who was his opponent, feel a little strange.

In Coach Spoelstra's view, the Raptors have changed a lot in today's game.I thought it was surprising enough to let Aaron Grey be the starter. Could it be possible that Ying Xiong is expected to lead the second team against James?
However, the reality told Coach Spoelstra that the Raptors really did this.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yingxiong came on the stage. He led Bargnani, Terrence Ross, Kleiza and Lowry to play against James + 2 pitchers.

Not to mention that coach Spoelstra and the Heat players couldn't believe it, even the Raptors players were a little surprised. They didn't know that the coaching staff had such an arrangement.

"Is Devon crazy?" Weber looked at Barkley with surprise.

Barkley certainly didn't believe that Devon Casey would be crazy.In fact, any head coach in the NBA is an extremely smart person, and they will naturally not do those really stupid things.Not to mention that other members of the coaching staff will remind the head coach and make suggestions.The only explanation is that this is their deliberate arrangement.

"Maybe there is some special purpose!" Barkley said noncommittally.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Coach Casey seemed very calm.The reason why he arranged this way can be said to be forced by the situation, or it can be said to hurt each other.He knows very well that with the current team's lineup configuration, it is impossible to defend against a lineup with James + 4 pitchers.Either let James score a chance, or give the shooter a chance to score.Not to mention the Raptors, even any team in the league cannot rule out a lineup that can completely limit this lineup.

——Unless you have 5 Yingxiong...

Therefore, facing a lineup that cannot completely prevent death, entangled in how to pile up side forces on the defensive end seems to be misled by the opponent and walked into a dead end.

Why not "use the way of the other, and give it to the other body"?

Yingxiong + 4 players with 3-point ability, against James + 4 pitchers.It's not so much about defending as hard as it can, it's better to say that the offense will be carried out to the end.

Ying Xiong completely believes in his coaching staff, and believes that the coaches' arrangements have their own intentions.He could more or less guess the intention of the coaching staff in such an arrangement.What he has to do is not to question or anything else, but to implement the coaching staff's game plan.

After the game started, the two sides entered the confrontation stage.The guard on the Heat's side is Norris Cole, while the guard on the Raptors' side is Kyle Lowry.But everyone knows very well that the core players of the two lineups are Ying Xiong and James.

What the two teams are fighting for is the ability of the ball holders (Ying Xiong, James) to attack and distribute the ball, and it is also a shooting contest between the two shooters.

For the impact of the basket, Ying Xiong is not as good as James.But he has one more accurate middle distance than the opponent, which makes it more difficult for the opponent to guard against him.

The shooters of the two teams, the Raptors are younger, while the Heat are more experienced.

The game was played very well, the attack speed was very fast, no one could guard anyone, and the game instantly became a battle of points.

"It's hard to imagine that you can see such a scene in the Eastern Conference Finals when the bayonet is so popular!" Weber said with deep emotion.

"Well, it's really rare!" Barkley nodded.In his era, the NBA's offensive rhythm was slow, full of hand-to-hand combat in the penalty area and a lot of mid-range jumpers. The combined number of 3-pointers in a game was not as many as in a quarter of this game.At that time, the playoffs were like a meat grinder. The scores of both sides were very low, and there were very few such unrestrained offensive confrontations.

Coach Spoel looked a little dignified.This is not the situation he wants to see, and he does not want this situation to continue.At this time, the team is still behind by double-digit points difference, soaring points like this is not good for the team at all.The lineup of James + 4 pitchers, which originally existed as a killer, actually lost its advantage. This is something he never dared to think about before.

"It's unbelievable that there is such a way to deal with it!" Coach Spoelstra fell into deep thought.

After playing for a while, the Heat still couldn't close the score, so coach Spoelstra could only ask for a timeout.

After the timeout, the Heat replaced Birdman and Haslem, playing a traditional lineup; the Raptors also replaced Along Gray.

But after the Heat took down the shooter lineup, the court space suddenly became narrower, and the offensive efficiency immediately dropped.

At the end of the day, if you want space, you have to have baskets.As soon as there are more players without a basket on the field, the opponent will naturally shrink and lock the penalty area.For the Heat, neither of the two major perimeter cores, James Way, has a very stable long-range shooting ability, and the ability to catch and shoot is even more urgent. Once the inside players have no shooting ability or shooting deviation, the team's offense will be very sluggish.

The Raptors' ability to open up space is actually not excellent. DeRozan's 3-point ability is on the same level as Wade, and their inside only one player, Bargnani, can open up space.But their middle distance is better than that of the opponent, and the height of the inside line and the frame protection are also stronger than the opponent.

The two teams fell into a state of coming and going, and the Heat could not close the score. Until the end of the first half, there was still a double-digit point difference between the two sides.

In the second half of the game, the Heat relied on the strength of the defensive end to try to reverse the situation.However, DeRozan and Jeremy Lin played exceptionally well in this game, which made the opponent's defense method of pinching the ball holder pay the price.

In the end, with the excellent performance of the whole game, the Raptors won the opponent away and rewritten the big score to a 2:2 tie.

应雄全场出战41分钟，砍下35分12个篮板12个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，用一个30+的三双，帮助球队拿下这场关键的比赛。

DeRozan and Jeremy Lin performed well in this game, scoring 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists together, becoming Ying Xiong's solid right-hand man.

"Chris, the game is getting better and better!" Barkley laughed.

Weber nodded and said: "Indeed, without 6 games, this round of the series will not end!"
