Legendary basketball manager

"It's so cool, a match for Yao and McGrady to prove their name together! Yao Ming beat the second defense center, proving that he deserves his position in the first round. McGrady also broke through the first round of the curse, showing his true qualities as a star!"

"4:0! The Rockets took down the Grizzlies, which are known for their ferocity. Before the game, I believed that the Rockets would win, but I didn't expect them to win so easily."

"Win every game, with an average margin of 30 points per game! The firepower of this Rockets team is enough to go down in history, and their basketball is different from other teams!"

"The thing that surprised me the most was Yao Ming. Originally, I thought that although he had the ability of a star, he lacked the scoring power of a first-class star. But today, he slapped me in the face with an epic large triple-double. I'm so happy!"

"In the future, no one will win a round of tours and talk to me about it. Although Yao Ming performed the best today, McGrady's 27 points and 8 assists are considered very good, and his shooting percentage is very high !"

......

For the Rockets, in addition to praising the fans, they also began to discuss their opponents in the next round.

"The Rockets should play against the Thunder in the second round. To be honest, the biggest surprise for me this year is the Thunder, besides the Rockets! These two teams are full of vigor and gorgeous style of play...they can't be more let down when they play games. People are looking forward to it!"

"I think McGrady and Durant's style of play have many similarities. Does anyone feel the same as me?"

"I feel the same way! Both are skilled strikers and top-notch physical talents. If you want to talk about the difference, I think McGrady is more elegant and picturesque. Durant is like a terrifying scoring machine , I can't even think of anyone who can restrain him!"

"I don't think the Thunder can pass the Spurs 100%. Although they are in a good situation now, the Spurs have the heart of a champion to win three games in a row. It is not an impossible task for them."

"I might have believed you when I put it upstairs, but this year is different. Duncan is really old this year. Although I can't tell where he is old, I feel that his dominance has dropped too much compared to last year. Maybe The twilight of a hero can happen in just a few months."

......

The fans held their own opinions and discussed in full swing throughout the night.

The rest of the first round continued the next day.

The first thing to do is the game between the Heat and the Pacers.

In the first four games, the Heat led 3:1.

Returning to the Heat's home court in the fifth game, the morale of the players is high, and they are obviously determined to win this battle!

Shen Fei was also in the office and turned on the TV on time to watch the match.

In order for the Rockets to successfully win the championship this season, he is heartbroken.

Even if the team is strong now, Shen Fei dare not be careless.

The best situation is that he can find the weakness of the Heat in the game, so as to help the Rockets defeat such a strong enemy more easily.

............

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

As soon as it came up, the Heat showed a determined mentality.

Granger is at a 45-degree angle on the left, holding the ball and singles James, who is forced to the bottom line by the latter.

Wade on the side waited for an opportunity to attack decisively.

James and Wei fit together, needless to say defensive ability.

In a panic, Granger accidentally lost control of the ball.

After Wade won the basketball, he immediately picked up his speed and launched a counterattack.

At the same time, James followed up at high speed behind him.

Soon Wade came to the Pacers half court and rushed to the free throw line.

Facing Deng Tai-Jones in front of him, the Flash did not suffer any flaws, but suddenly threw the ball high.

The next moment, a red figure descended from the sky, caught the basketball, and slammed it into the basket!

The person who comes is naturally the little emperor-LeBron James!

2:0, the Heat took the lead.

In the next round, James and Wei launched a high-position press again.

This time, Pacers point guard Darren Collison reacted quickly, hitting the ground and passing the ball between the two defensive champions.

The young Hibbert decisively chose to attack the frame after receiving the ball inside.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, his dunk was slapped by Howard.

The basketball flew directly to the stands on the second floor, greeted with cheers from the fans.

At the same time, Hansbrough, who was ambushing in the bottom corner on the right, spread his hands helplessly at Hibbert.

Just now if the latter has a wide field of vision, he can pass the ball to him who is unguarded.

But for a blue-collar center, the passing vision is obviously a bit difficult.

Hibbert could only smile apologetically.

The Pacers serve the ball to the sideline.

Deng Tai-Jones looked for his teammates for a long time, but he didn't find a chance to pass the ball.

The Heat's five players are extremely mobile.

Regardless of whether the Pacers players run back or play pick-and-rolls, they can maintain close defense.

Even if there is a mistake in a certain link, the players will quickly switch defenses.

Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, saw this scene and immediately realized that the Heat had also learned a lot from the concept of infinite switching defenses he instilled in the Rockets!

"Sure enough, it is the highest-level basketball game in the world. The learning ability of each team is very strong..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

In the previous life, the Heat during the Big Three era were very good at pressing high.

They used the super physical fitness of James and Wei to implement a sudden pincer attack at the top of the arc, and they were often able to complete steals.

Once the steal is completed, both James and Wade have full confidence in sending the ball to the basket.

In order to avoid the Heat's opponents, they often let the guards hand over the ball immediately after halftime and pass the ball to the inside.

Or by running without the ball, the space on the court is fully opened, and the two of James and Wei are not given the opportunity to form a pincer attack.

Both methods work well.

But today, it is different from the past.

Howard's joining has made the Heat's inside defense a qualitative leap!

If the opponent wants to play inside, he has to weigh it.

Tactically, the Heat have learned from the Rockets' "unlimited defense" strategy.

James, Wade, and Ray Allen can switch defenses at any time.

If the opponent wants to use off-the-ball movement to create opportunities, the difficulty has increased a lot!

Of course, the Heat's understanding of unlimited defenses is still much worse than that of the Rockets.

In Shen Fei's words - not bold enough!

If he is allowed to arrange the Heat's defense, Shen Fei will let Howard and Chalmers also participate in unlimited defense changes.

In this way, the absolute talent of the Heat's starting lineup can be perfectly displayed.

Even if Howard or Chalmers is targeted in a certain matchup, Janeway and James can still use their mobility to make up the defense in time.

However, this is just Shen Fei's talk on paper.

How effective it is, can only be used in competitions.

Of course, it is impossible for Shen Fei to tell the Heat what he thinks.

When the Heat can take this step depends on whether their coaching staff is thoughtful and courageous enough.

But overall, the Heat have improved a lot since midseason.

Their defense has become stronger and stronger, and they are even better than the Rockets in terms of giving opponents a sense of oppression.

"If we can really meet in the finals, the game will be very interesting."

Seeing a strong opponent, Shen Fei became excited instead.

While he was dreaming, the Heat had already established an initial lead.

In the game just now, the Big Three showed their star demeanor one after another.

Facing Hibbert's defense, Howard was overwhelmed in the paint.

He first played back in the low post, turned around and hit a hook.

On the next possession, he grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on the second.

Two minutes later, Howard received another wonderful pass from James in the fast break, and a "O'Neill-style" two-handed abuse of the basket directly knocked Hibbert to the ground!

His monster-like performance directly drove the Heat fans on the scene into a frenzy.

You know, when the two teams met for the first time at the beginning of the season, Hibbert once turned into a black Yao Ming, calling the shots inside the Heat.

At that time, whether it was Joel Anthony or the big Z-Ilgauskas, they were all crushed by this young man relying on his physical fitness.

Times have changed, and now Hibbert has lost his arrogance in front of Howard, and his proud physical fitness looks clumsy.

The nba is so amazing sometimes!

When a player encounters different opponents, he often has completely different styles of painting.

In addition to Howard, the performance of the two Janeway is also very good.

Wade's breakthrough was lightning fast, and no one in the Pacers could stop him.

The only threat to him is Deng Tai-Jones.

This person's style of play can be described as a low profile version of Tony Allen.

Jones's lateral speed and defensive awareness are weaker than Mr. Tony's, but... he is dirtier!

When Wade broke through several times, Jones's lateral movement was all in the direction of losing both sides.

At one point, the two collided head-on with their knees.

Wade's painful expression when he fell to the ground scared the fans at the scene.

Fortunately, this impact was only a flawed injury, and the Flash did not suffer additional damage.

Since then, Jones has been booed deafeningly by fans every time he catches the ball.

The referee also seems to be interested in reducing the time this dangerous person stays on the court.

After getting two quick fouls, Jones was replaced by the coach.

After he left the field, Wade immediately broke through and scored 2+1, and then made a stray step in the fast break and succeeded in a layup.

At the same time, James also frequently used tank layups to hit the Pacers' inside line.

In this way, with the concerted efforts of the Big Three, the Heat achieved a 1-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the game entered the transition period.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra left Howard and Ray Allen on the court together and replaced Mike Bibby with three shooters.

Obviously, with Howard as the core, Spoelstra played the "one-star four-shot" tactic that the Magic used to use in the past.

This set of tactics has made it to the finals in the past!

Although the Heat can't find a point forward like Turkoglu (James counts separately), they have created a low-profile version of the "one-star four-shot" lineup for Howard.

This lineup is definitely more than enough to deal with the Pacers' second team.

In the first round of the second quarter, Howard grabbed a cap on the defensive end and directly confiscated Kirklison's layup.

Later, he was beaten by Hansbrough in the low post on the offensive end.

After two slaps on the back to push the latter to the basket, Holder plucked the green onion on dry ground, got up on the spot and dunked.

"bang!"

The basket was crumbling.

The Pacers' defensive strategy has also changed accordingly.

In the next round, Howard still attacked in the low post.

This time the Pacers decisively double-teamed.

Howard flicked his wrist and passed the ball with one hand with his right hand.

Ray Allen, who was ambushing on the outside line, put away and hit a three-pointer with a knife.

37: 17.

The difference between the two teams has reached 20 points!

In the transition between offense and defense, Granger, the core of the Pacers, stepped forward. Facing Ray Allen's defense, he hit a three-pointer from the outside.

37: 20.

For the Pacers, this three-pointer can be called hemostasis!

But Granger alone is still difficult to stop the radiant Heat.

After another 4 minutes, the point difference was further expanded to 25 points.

The Pacers had no choice but to call a timeout.

After the suspension ended, the two sides made personnel adjustments again.

Spoelstra removed Howard and Ray Allen and replaced them with James and Wade.

The Heat, who were still focusing on three-point tactics just now, immediately changed their combat policy and began to attack the inside with high frequency.

The Flash Wade takes the lead.

He calls the pick-and-roll from beyond the arc.

After Joel Anthony put it on, Wade put the ball forward in a change of direction and passed directly between the two Pacers!

Then, he accelerated towards the restricted area.

Facing Hibbert who was supplementing the defense, Wade jumped high without fear.

In the air, he relied on his strong waist and abdomen to complete a 360-degree rotation, "changing" Hibbert from the front to the back.

But after completing the difficult turn, half of Wade's body has flown to the bottom line.

But this is still not a problem for The Flash!

He flicked his right wrist and threw the ball before his body completely abolished the baseline.

The ball hits the backboard, bounces toward the rim, spins around the rim a few times, and finally rolls into the net.

"Roar!"

"It's my horse (thisismyhouse)!"

After the goal, Wade stood up from the ground with a carp, and then roared passionately towards the stands.

In the next round, the performer changed from The Flash to the Little Emperor.

James calls a screen on the left 45-degree angle.

Granger, who was in charge of defending him, was on the verge of a formidable enemy, constantly paying attention to the direction of the pick-and-roller from the corner of his eye.

Just when he was distracted, James baldly shot a three-pointer.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

After the three-pointer in this game, the point difference between the two teams came to 30 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.

In this way, the Heat became the second team to break into the second round of the playoffs after the Rockets!

......

"drop!"

Shen Fei turned off the TV.

After watching the entire game, he made one point clear.

If the Heat and the Rockets really meet in the finals, Curry's performance will directly lead to the direction of the game!

The double-teaming of James and Wade is the existence that can make the peak Rose fall into the black for 3 minutes...

Can Curry, who is still a little thinner now, withstand such a test (of course, because of his teammates, it is bound to be under much less defensive pressure than Rose)?

"Don't let me down, Stephen..."

Shen Fei walked to the window sill, looked at the bright moonlight and muttered.

Just then, his cell phone rang suddenly.

The caller was actually his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for a long time——Ajiali.
