Chapter 660 Killing the Opponent's Hope

On May 5, the second game of the series between the Raptors and the Heat will continue to be held at the home of the Raptors, the Air Canada Center Arena.

This game is 2 games in the series between the two sides, and it is very important for both sides.If the Heat can't win this game, they will return to Miami with a 0:2 deficit. At that time, the third game will be an early decisive battle.They are unwilling to put themselves in such a dangerous situation, so, in the series G3, they urgently need to win.

In this game, the Raptors at home did not change their formation, while the Heat on the road did. They replaced Sean Battier, who started at No. 4 in the previous game, as the starter. Haslem played a traditional lineup.In this way, the burden of defending Yingxiong fell on James.

The Raptors, who are playing at home, have remained unchanged and have not changed.In fact, from the beginning of this season's playoffs to the present, they have not changed.Because they have achieved 9 consecutive victories in the playoffs this season, and also set a new record in team history.

In this game, the Heat's defensive strategy has changed due to the change of lineup. They used James to defend Yingxiong on the outside.And if he splits the ball, he will cut off the passing route and use rotation to make up for the leak. If it really doesn't work, he will empty DeRozan's 3-pointer.

When James defended Yingxiong alone, because of his weight gain, his weight was relatively large, and the lateral movement speed has not been fast, so he gave half a step.

In response to the Heat's defensive style, Ying Xiong made a few tentative attacks at the beginning of the game, and then began to shoot long shots.Since you give me space to shoot, why don't I shoot.

In the first quarter, Ying Xiong made 3 of 9 shots from outside the 5-point line, creating his own number of 3-point shots in a single quarter in the playoffs.

The Heat removed Battier, but the presence of Haslem made their floor space not as good as it was in the previous game.Haslem can also shoot, but only in the mid-range, and 3-pointers are not his forte.If you let him stand outside the 3-point line, it is estimated that the Raptors will not even look at him.

In this way, Valanciunas can stay comfortably near the penalty area without worrying about being hanged out by the opponent.The Raptors don't have to let Wade go.

Judging from the performance of the Heat in the first quarter, the offensive efficiency is low and the defense is not good. It can be said that the change is quite a failure.In the second quarter of the game, they made adjustments to let Wade, who had a relatively low center of gravity, guard against Yingxiong.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ying Xiong began to turn around and shoot jump shots. Taking advantage of his height, he kept turning his back to ask for the ball, and then turned around and made jump shots.

Wade is known as the "king of defenders blocking shots", but most of the time he is assisting in defense. Like Ying Xiong, he does two backs, and then pulls out. He has to lower his center of gravity to prevent being pushed flat by the opponent, and he has to jump up to block shots. , it is simply difficult to balance things.Not to mention that the opponent's height, wingspan, and bullet speed are all better than him. It is not easy to block one-on-one shots.

In this game, Ying Xiong has been using jump shots to attack after knowing that the opponent will double-team when he breaks through.Firstly, he feels hot in his hands, and he doesn't want to break through; secondly, he wants to use the simplest method to force the opponent to make a choice, instead of making adjustments on his own side.

The Heat have been under pressure and have not been able to turn over until the end of the game.In the end, the Raptors made another victory at home, rewriting the big score of the series to 2:0.

应雄本场比赛出战40分钟，砍下了52分10个篮板4次助攻2个抢断。这是他季后赛以来的第2个50+，帮助球队主场击败对手，迎来了队史新高的季后赛10连胜。

This game not only created the Raptors' team history playoff winning streak, Ying Xiong himself hit 10 3-pointers in a single game, creating his personal record for 3-pointers in a single game in the playoffs.

The victory of this game allowed the Raptors to advance to the finals for the second consecutive year, and the possibility has increased a lot.After this game, regarding who the two teams will represent the Eastern Conference in the finals, whether it is the support rate or the odds, they all support the Raptors overwhelmingly.

After the game, Ying Xiong sent a text message to each teammate: "Thank you for your joint efforts. We won two games. The away game is a real battle. Please stay focused. We want to reach the finals together." !"

On May 5, the Raptors VS Heat series G25 will be held at the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Center Arena.This game is a game that must be won for the home team that has fallen behind by a big score of 3:0.

In the last game, the Heat changed their formation, but the actual effect showed that their formation was quite a failure.Haslem did not help the team much on the defensive end, but affected his teammates on the offensive end.

Therefore, the Heat put Sean Battier back in the starting lineup for this game.For them, the height of the inside line is a little lower, and the frame protection is almost not fatal. If the opponent's outside line is played too crazy, there is no chance of winning the game.

In this game, the Heat made an adjustment.When Yingxiong didn't have the ball, they let Battier stick close to him, lead the defense all over the court, stick to the defense all over the court, and prevent him from catching the ball. in the hands of other teammates.

Of course, there are risks for them to do so. DeRozan, Jeremy Lin and others will get many opportunities.That's a trade-off, and after losing two straight away games in Toronto, the Heat are desperate.They hope that DeRozan and others are in a worse state, so that they can reduce the losses caused by pinching Yingxiong.

On the offensive end, the Heat are the two desperate personal attacks of James and Wei.They broke into the penalty area many times and killed the Raptors inside.This is the time to fight for their lives, and the two superstars spared no effort, completely without reservation.Because if you lose this game, the series will almost end early.They don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Eagles and Wizards.

It was a brutal showdown.DeRozan, Jeremy Lin and others did not lose the chain. They seized the opportunity created by Ying Xiong, clung to the score, and fought fiercely with opponents like tigers.

The game has been anxious until the final quarter.But at this time, Ying Xiong, who had been flanked before, suddenly broke out.Because he opened the hidden attribute, he used the 5th style for the first time since the playoffs.

At this time, the Heat couldn't even suppress him in a flanking attack.The Heat fans at the scene could only watch helplessly as this man from China used his incomprehensible personal performance to completely kill the home team's hope of winning.
