Legendary basketball manager

The starting lineups for both sides are as follows:

For the Heat, Chalmers and Ray Allen partnered in the backcourt, Wade and James played the two core positions of three and four, and Howard was in the restricted area.

For the Celtics, Rondo is in charge, Delonte West and his partner are in the backcourt, Paul Pierce and Big Baby are on the front line, and Jermaine O'Neal is the center.

Xiao Ao and Howard stood on both sides of the center line.

As the referee threw the ball high, the two took off at the same time...

Howard was superior and slapped the ball back to his own half.

The Heat go first!

Chalmers passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Howard got stuck in the low post and asked for the ball.

Chalmers understood and passed the ball to the penalty area immediately.

After getting the ball, Howard immediately opened his back and hit.

O'Neal, who defended him, is no longer the All-Star insider.

After his physical fitness declined, he was just an ordinary insider.

Seeing that Xiao Ao was easily crushed, Rondo decisively gave up the defense against Chalmers and rushed to the inside to help defend.

Howard found that the opponent wanted to double-team him, and immediately waved his hand and passed the ball back to Chalmers.

But at the same time, the Celtics' defensive rotation started to run.

After Xiaocha received the ball, he didn't have a chance to use his mobile phone, so he could only pass the ball again.

After three passes and two leads, the ball came to Wade.

Facing Pierce's defense, the Flash made a false throw to shake the former's center of gravity away, and then accelerated to kill the Green Army inside.

After coming to the penalty area, Wade took two European steps towards the big baby.

The big baby couldn't react in time, and turned around in the wrong direction.

Wade smiled slightly, stepped on the ground with his left foot, and jumped high...

"BANG!"

Almost all players finish with a layup after using the Eurostep, but Wade is different. His explosive power allows him to make such a large fake action, and there is still room to complete the dunk.

This is the Flash!

2:0, the Heat took the lead!

The offense and defense switched, and Rondo dealt the cards online at the top of the arc.

Delonte-West took advantage of the cover to get out and successfully got rid of Ray Allen.

Rondo led with the ball and guided West to the most suitable position to catch the ball.

After the latter received the ball, there was no defense one meter in front of him, so he raised his hand and shot...

"Snapped!"

A black shadow appeared out of nowhere, and slapped West's shot from the side...

It's James!

As early as when West threw off Ray Allen, he was stooping and equipped with "sneak attack".

Rondo's guided pass caught James off guard, but with his super explosive power, he finally arrived in time before West's shot and delivered the hot pot!

Moreover, James' blocking angle is very particular.

He didn't simply destroy the opponent's shot, but slapped the ball towards the Celtics' half.

In this way, after completing the block, James has the opportunity to go directly to the fast break!

However, Rondo is also a player with a very high basketball IQ.

He quickly discovered James' intentions, rushed to the basketball's landing point immediately, and finally took control of the ball first.

James clapped his hands after landing, with pity written all over his face.

Fortunately, although Rondo blocked his fast break, the Celtics' offensive time was running out.

Director Long dribbled the ball across half court and could only make a hasty shot, and the ball flew out of bounds and directly out of the baseline.

"Mario, you can't put this kind of ball like this. If the shooter is replaced by Stephen, he may score!"

James reminded with dissatisfaction.

"I know, but he is Rondo, I know it in my heart."

Chalmers argued.

James shook his head speechlessly, turned and walked to the baseline to catch the ball.

He knew Chalmers' character well.

This third grader has a lot of self-confidence.

He has his own judgment, and he will not be timid because his teammates are super giants.

This confidence is a double-edged sword.

The advantage is that Chalmers will not be stage fright when facing the opponent's star; the disadvantage is that a big brother like James wants to give opportunities face to face, but he will also be rejected.

James knew Chalmers well, so he didn't say anything more.

The game continues.

The Heat attacked, James held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Howard.

The defensive strategy of the Green Army is very clear-letting shots and not letting go.

So when Zhan Huo and Zhan Huo played the pick-and-roll, both Big Baby and Little Ao chose to shrink, and the opportunities were almost retreated into the penalty area.

Upon seeing this, James decisively chose a mid-range shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

4: 0.

After 1 minute, James made a comeback and launched an attack with the ball again.

This time, he turned around and passed the big baby, and came to the inside and threw the ball high.

Xiao Ao looked up in a daze, and the next moment, he felt a huge force coming from behind him, and then flew out.

And at the same time as Xiao Ao fell down, the monster had already come out of the cage!

He catches the ball in the air and dunks it into the hoop with both hands...

"BANG!"

After dunking, Howard also grabbed the basket and swung for a while.

In an instant, the entire basket was pulled precariously.

Only then did Xiao Ao, who fell on the ground, realize what had happened.

He immediately spread his hands to the referee to express that he was violated, but the referee just glanced at him lightly and did not make any indication.

6:0, the Heat made a perfect start.

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

The Rockets generals far away in Houston saw this situation, and there was a lot of discussion.

"The talent gap between the two teams is too great. The Heat are going to swallow the Celtics alive."

Tony Allen exclaimed.

"Jian Weihuo's defensive abilities are all top-notch in the same position. We have to think about how to deal with this."

Mark Jackson spoke.

"Chalmers is a breakthrough point. In addition, although James has strong single-defense and assist-defense capabilities, he is a small forward after all. It may be effective in a short period of time to reach the fourth position, but for him It's also costly."

"So, we can design corresponding tactics for Stephen and Blake, let them be the pioneers, and open the situation for us."

Ben Wallace said in a low voice.

Among the players present, he is one of the few players who has the experience of winning the championship and was once the core of winning the championship.

After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"Blake, if you were asked to beat LeBron in the low post, would you be sure?"

Mark Jackson turned to look at Griffin and asked.

"em...I think I can!"

"His height and weight are about the same as mine, but my inside offensive skills are definitely better than his inside defensive skills!"

Griffin said seriously.

There is some truth to what he said.

But after everyone listened, they only nodded encouragingly.

Everyone knows that James is a strong contender for the best defensive player.

How easy is it to overcome the defense of such a talented monster who is at the peak of his career?

What's more, Griffin is just a rookie playing in the NBA in his first year.

"Okay, if the finals really meet the Heat, our opening tactic will arrange for you to play LeBron in the low post."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

For young people, he has always been encouraging.

Since Griffin has such confidence, Mark Jackson is also willing to give it a chance.

Then, the Rockets Marshal set his sights on Curry again.

Among the five sets of double-starters, Mark Jackson felt that Curry had the greatest advantage.

"It's not a big problem, leave it to me."

Curry said confidently.

Mark Jackson smiled and nodded, this is the answer he wanted.

"Actually, it's not difficult to beat their defensive strengths."

It was McGrady who spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

The MVP of the new division really showed his domineering side in his words.

"It's definitely not difficult, who can't beat the MVP~"

Lowry said with a smile.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

But Lowry was right.

MVP represents the highest level in the league this season.

Since it is the highest level, any player should have an advantage against them!

"Well, everyone is motivated, which is good."

"However, the Heat's high-position press is amazingly powerful. Let's take a closer look and see if there is a suitable way to break it."

Mark Jackson said seriously.

The generals of the Rockets nodded when they heard the words, and turned their eyes back to the TV.

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

The game continues.

The Heat always have the upper hand relying on fierce defense.

Among them, the old Celtics player Ray Allen played particularly well.

He received passes from James and Howard successively, and made two long shots from beyond the three-point line to help the Heat expand their advantage.

More importantly, Ray Allen's consecutive three-pointers directly caused the Celtics not to dare to shrink the inside line.

This also allows the Heat's two breakthrough masters, James and Wade, to have room to flex their muscles.

The two charged and fought, causing the Green Army's inside line to be "messy".

The point difference between the two teams has also reached double digits in the process.

After the first quarter, the Heat led the Celtics by 32 points at 20:12!

In the second quarter, the game entered the transition period, and both sides replaced some substitutes.

On the Heat's side, a "one-star four-shot" lineup with Howard as the core was sent.

For the Celtics, Rondo led four substitutes.

Howard, who just missed a while ago, was already full of anger in this game.

Coincidentally, there was no one inside the Green Army, and Warcraft took over the restricted area very easily.

As soon as the second quarter came up, he succeeded in consecutive post-up singles in the low post.

In order to limit Howard, the Celtics can only double-team it.

But in this way, the Heat's outside shooters have an easy shot.

Ray Allen, James Jones, and Mike Miller made three-pointers from the bottom corners on both sides and a 45-degree angle on the right.

3 three-pointers and two successful shots, the Heat's lead has also expanded to 20 points!

The Green Army coach He Document had no choice but to resort to a timeout.

After the timeout ended, he replaced Pierce early, trying to stop the decline.

After the truth came on the court, he did use consecutive singles to "continue his life" for the Celtics.

However, the huge gap in strength between the two teams cannot be bridged by him alone!

About 5 minutes into the second quarter, Wade went into battle again.

As soon as the Flash came on the field, he turned on the scoring mode.

He hit the inside line continuously, either directly attacking the basket to succeed, or causing a foul, and he didn't miss a single attack in several attacks!

Some of the points that Pierce led the team to get back with great difficulty before were quickly doubled and lost back.

When the Celtics finally found a way to limit Wade, the "charged" James returned to the court.

As soon as he came up, he singled Pierce in a row, and even in a breakthrough, he staged a good show of dunks!

In this way, the Heat's momentum was like a rainbow, and the Celtics retreated steadily.

At the end of the second quarter, the Heat led the Celtics by as many as 70 points with 45:25!

Such a huge advantage is almost a "hole" that is difficult to fill in the era of 11 when the pace of the game is not so fast.

In the second half of the game, although Rondo stepped forward and used breakthroughs and assists to help the Celtics recover some points.

But the Heat, whose overall strength is significantly higher, still firmly control the situation.

In the end, they beat the Celtics 120:99 at home and won the first game of the series!

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

After watching the game, the generals of the Rockets were still a little bit dissatisfied.

In their view, the Celtics, who are short of major generals, did not let the Heat do their best.

Such a game has little reference value.

"I hope we can see something different in the Eastern Conference Finals."

Kyle Lowry said so.

But Ben Wallace sees it differently.

"A crisp defeat like this will never happen again. Even if the old guys in Boston lose, it is impossible for their opponents to win so easily."

"In the following games, they may increase their intensity, may change their tactics, and may even use some outside moves. But in any case, the Celtics will not be defeated like today."

Daben said firmly.

This kind of affirmation is because the game temperament of this Green Army is very similar to that of the Pistons back then.

The Bad Boys couldn't resist time and became weak, but whether they faced James' Cavaliers or the Heat led by Wade, they fought to the last moment.

At that time, the Pistons' strategy was - NoDunk (no dunks).

In other words, I would rather send you to the free throw line, even with a technical foul, than give the opponent a chance to dunk.

That's how they play.

Ben Wallace is sure that the Celtics will not make it easier for the Heat in the following games, even if the final victory belongs to Miami.

"Ben makes sense, let's watch their games together later."

"Okay, everyone, go back and rest early, it's our turn to play tomorrow!"

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yao Ming got up silently, walked to the center of the conference hall, and stretched out his right hand.

Everyone responded quickly, walked to Dayao's side one after another, and folded their hands together.

"o. Three!"

"Go. Rockets!!!!"

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

A day later, Toyota Center Arena.

The second round of the Western Conference playoffs - the game between the Rockets and the Thunder, as scheduled!
