Chapter 111 Tactics and Players

When it comes to the top three defense of the Heat, everyone will give a thumbs up. They have the league's top small forward James and shooting guard Wade, plus Battier, Mike Miller, and Chalmers and other outsiders. Defensive champions, the Heat's perimeter defense is the top in the league. Any team's perimeter players will be shivering when they encounter the Heat.

But such a super team failed to play a stable dynasty like the Bulls, Lakers, Spurs or future Warriors because their lineup has two fatal weaknesses.

The first point is the fragile inside line like paper.The super high wages of the luxury Big Three directly exploded the salary cap of the Heat. They really couldn’t spend money to reinforce qualified insiders. Let’s take a look at the insiders of the Heat in those years. Hassler, who is hardworking but average in ability Tom, the fringe man Pittman, Oden who came back to work after a serious injury, Qiaoer Anthony who is a stocky rebounder, and Uncle Huo who has only a little oil left. Except for the passionate birdman Anderson, there is no reliable guard. As a frame hand and rebounder, Chris Bosh, who is mainly a face-up attack, had to gain weight to top the center. Back then, the Heat really exploded at the center. Hibbert of the Pacers, nicknamed Gao Yuanyuan, met When the Heat almost turned into a Super Saiyan, when they met the Mavericks in the finals, Dirk Nowitzki broke through the inside to kill them, and when they met the Spurs, they were ravaged by the old Duncan in every possible way. These tragedies are vivid in my mind. The giants are so glamorous, but they have paid too much hardship and sacrifice, because their lineup is really deformed and the inside line is extremely weak.

The second point is to put too much emphasis on double-teaming, almost double-teaming any ball holder on the outside, in order to force the opponent to make mistakes and counterattack as much as possible, and get the easy scoring opportunities that the Heat are best at. This kind of ultra-high intensity lasts for a whole game The oppression has caused headaches for countless teams. As long as they are brought into the rhythm by the Heat, they will directly harvest the game in waves.Of course, the heat's pressure on the ball from the outside and that sense of dominance can be said to be the strongest in history. Even the new MVP Derrick Rose couldn't penetrate the defense of the Janeway duo; but this also brought many problems. , only relying on James and Wade cannot support the high-intensity defense of the whole court, and the defensive pressure of other players has a gap in grades. More importantly, if the opponent has smooth and tacit ball transfer tactics, or is very good at quick balls Transfer the ball in a wide range, or the opponent first plays the advantage inside and then passes it to the outside, etc. In these cases, there will be extremely large gaps on the weak side of the Heat. Once the opponent catches the loophole, it is easy to be hit wear.

If it is said that the Big Three lost to the Mavericks in the first year of their establishment, it was because James was immature and under too much pressure to win the championship, and the running-in between the Big Three had not yet reached a suitable and just stage, then after 12 After two consecutive championships in 13, the Heat have completely solved the above problems, but they still lost 14:1 to the Spurs in the 4 finals. It was because of these two fatal and ineradicable problems that the Spurs beat them.

Back then, the Spurs had Tim Duncan on the inside, and it was like a second spring against the Heat on the inside. They also had an extremely silky pass and cut coordination trained by Popovich on the outside. If the Heat were not careful, the Spurs would use fast The conductive ball was given to the open teammates outside the three-point line, and the Heat could only continue to maintain a high-pressure defense in order to force the Spurs to make mistakes and then pick up leaks. From the perspective of the balance and rationality of the lineup, the Heat's three There were big problems in the giant period. Being able to win two consecutive championships already shows the super strength of the two of James and Way, as well as Bosh's generous sacrifice.

Channing knows this very well, so he will continue to pay attention to the next tactical arrangement of the Philadelphia coaching staff. If he really wants to go in that direction, Channing must remind the coaching staff to pay attention to these issues.

But this is all for later. As far as Philadelphia's current lineup is concerned, it is still not enough to play high-pressure defense in an ideal state. Players in many positions are not suitable for this tactic. It depends on whether the management will promote the transaction.

But then again, Channing is just a rookie. Although he has become a core member of the team through his performance in a few games, he still focuses on cultivating stars, but after all, he has not yet become a star rookie like Durant and Oden. At that time, it was inappropriate to speak up to promote the transaction. Besides, Channing clearly knew that the goal of the Philadelphia 76ers this season was to break into the playoffs. Channing also needed to further understand the thinking of the coaching staff and management. If he doesn't want to be too active, then he will naturally focus on his own leveling skills first, and let's put aside the championship and so on.

After successfully cracking Philadelphia's defense, Paul immediately relaxed. He believed that he had found Philadelphia's loophole. Look for breakthroughs in other Philadelphia players.

The Philly pincer tactic, which has just shown its embryonic form and has not experienced wind and rain, is facing the current point guard who is the best at passing the ball in the league. One side is trying to contain the opponent and cut off the opponent's conduction route. As long as it can be broken, Philadelphia is a All members fast break; the other side is to run and transfer with all their strength, try their best to avoid Philadelphia's defensive strengths, as long as they can pass to the open space, the Hornets will be a three-pointer or an undefended dunk at the basket.

The rest of the game became an immature tactical offensive and defensive drill. The Hornets only had Paul as a reliable passing point. This became the straw that crushed the Hornets. Paul did not dare to have any rest time throughout the second half. Taking a breather, there had been a series of mistakes there, so they had to put down the Goji Cup and play again, and the young Channing played the entire second half. Relying on this advantage, the Philadelphia 76ers had the last laugh.

88:84, although it was difficult to win, Philadelphia was the final winner.

"Beautiful! The brothers are all good!"

The 76ers gathered in a circle, pushed each other, and celebrated the victory of the game. Channing went to find Iguodala and hugged the big brother of the team for a long time. They are the core of the new tactics. It is very necessary to have a good relationship with the boss of the team. In the jubilant atmosphere, Iguodala seems to have temporarily forgotten the threat of the fast-improving Channing to him, and hugged Channing very happily.

"Great job, guys! Tomorrow is a day off, go play!"

Coach Cheeks used this sentence to push the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room to a high level.
