Chapter 656 The Creativity of a Top Superstar
"Isn't Toronto afraid of Chris's outside shots? Miami let Chris open the inside, but Jonas still stays under the basket and can't come out. Isn't this going to be shot?" Mike Breen asked.

"Any defense has flaws. Ideally, it would be one-on-one half-court, but the problem is that the existence of superstars prevents you from relying on the strength of one person to completely limit it. At this time, you need the strength of the team." Strength, and basketball is a team sport. Miami has Dwyane and LeBron, two top scorers in the league, so Toronto has never been in a small lineup, and has always kept Jonas at the basket to protect the frame. As for Chris's 3, Toronto never planned to completely empty it, didn't they send Amir out to sweep the defense?" Van Gundy said.

"Miami's first five players can shoot 5 points, isn't it necessary to miss one person?" Mike Breen asked.

"It will definitely be missed. The key is who the shot is missed. Toronto is obviously not willing to let Mario, Sean and Chris on the outside. They let Jonas go to Dwyane, which is to show that Dwyane Oh, three!" Van Gundy explained.

Mike Breen suddenly realized: "This is really bold, how dare you let go of a quasi-Hall of Fame superstar guard!"

首节进行到还剩4分11秒，此时场上的比分说17:15，猛龙队暂时领先2分。林书豪在之前的一个暂停时被洛瑞换下。

Lowry dribbles over and holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Amir Johnson came out to cover, and Lowry used the screen to pass the ball and break through to the inside. Suddenly, he passed the ball on the move and gave it to the air-cut Yingxiong. Slam dunk!
——Obviously, the main attack direction of the Raptors is the Heat's inside line.

"The problem of the small lineup has gradually emerged. Due to various conditions such as injuries, Dwyane's outside pressure on the ball, whether it is moving or rotating, the effect is not as good as in previous seasons. Relying on With LeBron alone, it is too difficult to stop the rush of many people in Toronto." Van Gundy said.

On the Heat's side, James rushed to the basket and moved Battier from the corner in a wide range. DeRozan saw it through and directly intercepted it!

DeRozan came over with a dribble and rushed to the basket causing a foul by Bosh!
The Heat made personnel adjustments. Birdman came on to replace Bosh, and Ray Allen went off to replace James.The Raptors also made personnel adjustments. Patterson replaced Amir Johnson and Terrence Ross replaced DeRozan.

Raptors frontcourt throw-in.

Ying Xiong received the ball from Lowry, dribbled the ball over by himself, faced Battier's defense, and called Valanciunas inside to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Although Birdman is not young anymore, his moving speed is still very fast, not inferior to those agile insiders at all.He came out to delay Yingxiong, and at the same time, he was careful not to let Valanciunas take the opportunity to attack the frame.

Birdman originally thought that Yingxiong would deliberately play for Valanciunas, but when he wanted to take care of both, Yingxiong suddenly lowered his waist and pressed his center of gravity to pull the ball to break through.

In this case, Battier was already at a disadvantage in speed, and was delayed by Valanciunas.

Ke Yingxiong's quick start made Battier even useless for fouling...

Ying Xiong held the ball and went to the basket to kill, Wade let go of his defender and came to help defend, but the so-called "defender blocker king" faced Ying Xiong who was already like a speeding sports car, and he could only lament "the waves of the Yangtze River". push forward".

Ying Xiong dodged Wade in one step, jumped up from the basket, and dunked violently with the tomahawk!

With the sound of "Bang——", even the basket was shaken non-stop.

"Bang—bang—!" Mike Brin yelled.

For the Heat, Ray Allen made a 3-pointer—miss!
Lowry dribbled the ball and handed it to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc.

Ying Xiong still took the medicine according to the prescription, screened and rolled with Valanciunas at the top of the arc, and then started a breakthrough.

The two wings of the Heat had to recycle to protect the basket, because if they didn't do this, Ying Xiong would be a slam dunk if he went in...

However, Yingxiong started to pass the ball...

It's just that Terrence Ross just came on the field, the first time he took the shot, it felt relatively cold, and he missed a big open shot-the Heat escaped!
However, Ying Xiong has offensive rebounds!He was on top of Wade and Ray Allen at the basket, took off the rebound, forced a layup to score 2 points, and caused Ray Allen's pulling foul!

The fans of the Raptors are completely high... Ying Xiong is omnipotent. He used to score by himself and pass the ball to his teammates. Now he is like an inside player, grabbing rebounds and 2 offenses under the basket.

"MVP", "MVP"... There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

Coach Spoelstra of the Heat reluctantly requested a timeout!

Back from the timeout, Norris Cole replaced Chalmers.

Ying Xiong went to the free throw line, but missed the extra penalty...

Here for the Heat, Wade made a difficult fadeaway jumper-hit!The bleeding was successfully stopped!

Lowry dribbles over and gives it to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong used Valanciunas' pick-and-roll to force his way to the basket again.He gave the ball to Terrence Ross outside the 3-point line in the right corner at the moment the opponent's wings recovered.

This time, Terrence Ross lived up to expectations and hit a 3-pointer with the ball!
"Why keep driving to the rim?" asked Mike Breen.

"Because of the space!" Van Gundy said, "After Patrick and Terrence came on the field, the offensive space was widened. At this time, because the big man in Miami was called out, once he was passed, there would be a lot of open space inside. If Ray and If Dwyane does not receive the basket, he should attack the frame directly; if he receives the basket, he will face the threat of a 3-pointer from the opponent's shooter. "Choose one from two bottles of poison."

"How does it feel like LeBron + 4 pitchers?" Mike Breen said.

"In fact, the essence is the same. Created by superstars with the ball and surrounded by outside shooters, this style of play is not complicated, but it tests two points. One is the threat of the ball holder itself; The ability to divide the ball in defense, that is, the ability to make decisions in an instant." Van Gundy explained.

"Should you have a strong ability in this area?"

"Of course, the league's top!"

While Mike Brin and Van Gundy were talking, the Heat flanked Ying Xiong, and Ying Xiong gave a hit to Valanciunas, who went straight to the basket and succeeded in a one-handed dunk!
"This is the ability to make decisions in an instant. This ability can make opponents dare not double-team you easily!" Van Gundy explained.

Before the end of the first quarter, with Ying Xiong's excellent operation, the Raptors widened the point difference to 11 points.It seems that facing such an opponent is also a bit tricky for the Heat.
