I really just want to strike

This is a classic reverse breakthrough on the basketball court.

Su Feng, who predicted that Kidd would successfully bypass the pick-and-roll, seemed to want to use O'Neill's big butt to cut inside, but in fact, he had already slowed down in advance and was ready to attack the other side at any time.

So, at this moment just now, is there any way for Kidd to stop Su Feng?

the answer is......

No.

No matter how strong Kidd's defensive ability is.

With the offensive side occupying the absolute initiative, on the basketball court, one defense against two is an impossible task.

What's more, this is a pick and roll played by Su Feng and O'Neal?

Take the ball just now as an example.

O'Neill made a wall for Su Feng on the left side of the top arc.

At this time, Su Feng was holding the ball to the right of the top arc.

And if Kidd doesn't slide around O'Neal in time...

After holding the ball and moving towards the side of O'Neal's body, Su Feng can easily get an unmarked shot.

But......

Even if Kidd can get around it...

Once Su Feng chooses to break through in the opposite direction, then with Su Feng's lightning-fast first step...

Unless Kidd has the time-pause button in the island country action movie in his hand, otherwise, it is impossible for him to keep up with Su Feng's footsteps.

but......

The difference from the G1 battle is that...

On the court, Su Feng just dribbled the ball and was about to cut in. Howard rushed towards him on the flank.

In the G1 game, the Mavericks, who had to be forced to change players every pick-and-roll, can be said to have tasted the pain brought to them by "killing crazy pick-and-rolls".

So tonight...

Davis also made adjustments to the strategy of defending the "crazy pick-and-roll".

It is different from the general pick-and-roll substitutions.

tonight...

When defending the "kill the crazy pick and roll"...

What the Mavericks take is impressively...

Double-team every pick-and-roll!

Before the game, when replaying the G1 game between the Heat and the Mavericks...

Davis discovered that if he switches defenses when encountering a "crazy pick-and-roll", not only will Chandler be lifted off the inside, but in this way, no matter whether it is Su Feng and Chandler's small fight, or O'Neal's success The Mavericks will be unable to cope with the big fight with Kidd after the game.

Therefore, under the suggestion of Mike Brown, Davis decisively decided that even if the Mavericks double-team every pick-and-roll, it will cause other Heat players on the court to get open shots, and the Mavericks must also play in the next round of the series. Saili implements this defensive thinking.

Because compared to the points that Su Feng and O'Neill got on the field through their personal abilities...

Once in the game, the Mavericks made Su Feng and O'Neal form a linkage...

The efficiency of these two teaming up to score points is too exaggerated.

On the court, the moment Howard threw himself in front of him, Su Feng quickly transferred the ball to Butler who was already on standby in the right corner.

At this time, on the Mavericks' bench, Davis had folded his hands and began to pray.

"John... what are you doing?" Brown asked sweating.

"Of course I'm praying that no one else in the Heat can make a shot." Davis replied solemnly.

Brown: "..."

when--!

On the field, perhaps Davis' prayer moved the heavens.

Butler really didn't make the shot.

In the penalty area, Chandler turned around and protected the rebound for the Mavericks.

In the first quarter of the game, in the following games, whenever Su Feng sent a wonderful pass to his teammates...

On the Mavericks' bench, the heartfelt prayers of Davis and the rest of the Mavericks' bench players also became a particularly interesting scene on the sidelines tonight.

But don't tell me...

With the prayers of Davis and the rest of the Mavericks, in the first quarter, Su Feng and the Heat players other than O'Neal combined, only made 13 of 3 shots.

"John...are you really a 'wizard'?"

At the end of the first quarter, looking at the scoreboard of 30 to 23, Mike Brown was shocked on the sidelines.

But after hearing this, Davis smiled and said: "If I am really a 'wizard', then we may lose our first game against the Heat?"

In fact, the reason why the prayers of Davis and the Mavericks took effect is mainly because Davis, who has rich experience in the finals, knows that in a round of the series, the players of the two teams cannot remain outstanding from beginning to end. status.

Especially after the Heat won G1...

Davis firmly believes that in the G2 game, some Heat players will definitely carry the ideological burden of wanting to win and fearing losing.

This has nothing to do with whether this part of the Heat players want to win or not.

It's purely because in competitive sports, the actual performance of athletes will be imperceptibly interfered with by their own mentality.

Why is it not difficult for you to become a strong player or a strong team in various sports events...

But you want to become the final champion but it is even more difficult?

Because in this world, no one can guarantee that his physical and mental state on the day of the game are at the best level.

Compared with the G1 game, in fact, the offensive state of both teams has declined significantly tonight.

In the first quarter of the game, the player with the best touch on the Mavericks side was Nowitzki, who made 8 of 5 shots and scored 14 points including free throws and three-pointers.

But the Mavericks' other players combined only made 15 of 6 shots, and the shooting percentage was only 40%, which was far lower than their level in the G1 war.

On the Heat's side, O'Neal, who scored the most points for the Heat in the first quarter, made 7 of 4 shots and scored a total of 12 points including free throws.

Nothing.

Because once O'Neal falls into the low position, the Mavericks have nothing to do with him, so in Davis' view, the 12 points O'Neal got are the points that the Mavericks can only let him get.

But......

It is worth mentioning that......

Of all the 12 points O'Neal scored, all of his last 4 points were free throws.

Moreover, his last three shots, without exception, deviated from the basket.

Yes, that's right!

on this night...

The Mavericks never wanted to target any other Heat player.

Because this part of the players...

When there is iron, there will definitely be a time when it is accurate.

But by pinching Su Feng infinitely when encountering a pick-and-roll...

However, Mavericks successfully prevented the seemingly unsolvable linkage between Su Feng and O'Neill.

and this......

This is Davis' real killer move tonight.

As Su Feng's former mentor, Davis certainly knew that Su Feng could not be restrained...

So in his opinion...

The only way for the Mavericks to win this series is to use offense to beat the Heat.

However, the difference from the G1 strategy is that...

Tonight, the set of tactics adopted by the Mavericks was proposed by him and perfected by Mike Brown. It was specially created for this Heat...

——"New-Su Feng's Law".

That is, after cutting off the connection between Su Feng, O'Neill and their respective teammates...

Use the Mavericks' overall offense to counter the unparalleled individual singles of Su Feng and O'Neal!

In the second half of the first quarter, on the court, since the Mavericks had been retreating, Riley replaced Korver and Ginobili early tonight.

But what leaves Heat fans speechless is...

Korver, who got open opportunities on the court three times in a row, failed to make three consecutive three-pointers.

Ginobili, who has always been a ghost, also failed to grasp two easy open shots.

At the end of the first quarter, on the Heat's bench, Riley's expression became more serious.

Because if the other players of the Heat can't grasp these easy scoring opportunities, the defensive pressure on Su Feng and O'Neal will inevitably increase.

"Take it easy, Pat."

But at this moment, Su Feng calmly patted Riley on the shoulder.

As the absolute leader of the Heat, Su Feng, who knows the characters of these teammates very well, knows that at this time, the more you continue to put pressure on these teammates, the more likely it will be counterproductive.

After all, in basketball, even the best shooters can miss shots that look easier than they practiced.

and......

Compared to those great opportunities missed by Korver and others...

In Su Feng's view, that is not the focus that the Heat need to solve right now.

Because Su Feng believes that as long as the Mavericks continue to adopt this strategy of flanking every pick-and-roll, Korver and the others will make those shots that should be made sooner or later.

And in a five-v-five team event like basketball...

If you can't even believe your teammates...

Then how can you have the last laugh?

Therefore, Su Feng knew...

The real problem facing the Heat right now is...

Can he and O'Neal work together to defeat the Mavericks, who have maintained the framework of the main lineup, chemical reactions, and teamwork in the past N years, all of which are above the Heat.

You know, from starting to build a team around yourself to launching an impact on the championship this year...

This Heat is only less than two years old.

And if you count from when O'Neal joined the team last summer...

In fact, this Heat has less than a year to run in.

In order to shorten the running-in time required by this Heat, from the regular season till now, this Heat has been avoiding those complex passing and cutting coordination.

Running and developing without the ball around Su Feng and O'Neal's containment ability on the field is a tactic that other players in this Heat team have been implementing all along.

Therefore, when Davis and Brown successfully separated Su Feng from O'Neal and other Heat players...

At this time, it is simply unrealistic for you to expect Heat players to play tacit passes and cuts like Mavericks players.

On the field, looking up at the empty dome of the American Airlines Center after the break.  …

Su Feng couldn't help thinking of what he said to Davis when he led his team to the finals for the second time.

"Kobe and Shaq are the strengths of the Lakers.

But we can rely on our whole body to defeat them. "

Time passes.

After being away for several years...

Su Feng never expected that the routines he taught Davis to crack "OK" back then would be used by Davis to deal with him and O'Neill one by one.
