Legendary basketball manager

In the last game, the Heat were upset by the united Celtics.

In this rematch, the Heat players all looked serious, obviously more serious.

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

Howard leaps high and wins the scrimmage.

The Heat go first!

The ball was transferred to James.

In the previous few games, the Heat started from the inside, playing steadily but at a slower pace.

But today, the Heat clearly have a different arrangement.

Just when people thought they had to wait for Howard to fall to the low position step by step, and then implement singles tactics, Warcraft suddenly accelerated to throw off O'Neal's defense and rushed to the hinterland of the Celtics!

Little O'Neill was shocked, and quickly started to defend.

But just after he ran two steps, Wade suddenly appeared and stood in front of him.

Little Ao had to stop and watched Howard drift away.

At the same time, James flicked his wrist and made a long pass, sending the ball directly over the Celtics penalty area.

The next moment, Howard soars into the air, grabs the basketball in the air...

"bang!"

Warcraft used a powerful one-handed dunk.Open the record for the Heat!

2: 0.

The Rockets players far away in Houston all had their eyes lit up.

"The ball shouldn't have come out by accident."

Mark Jackson said while taking notes.

"Spoelstra is a thoughtful coach. This should be the opening tactic he designed for the Heat."

Maddie nodded.

"Why do I think...we can use this tactic too!"

Lowry said.

"That's Blake, I can't run that fast."

Yao Ming turned to look at Griffin and said with a smile.

"Can we learn from it? We have to think of a way to defend this tactic first."

"Anyone have an idea?"

Mark Jackson asked.

"This tactic is actually not difficult to crack. It is essentially a simple off-ball screen. It's just that the tactic happened in the few seconds after the opening, and the opponent's attention has not yet fully focused on the game."

"So...as long as we remain vigilant, the success rate of this tactic will immediately drop significantly."

"In addition, Howard's mobility is really good, but as long as he gets stuck, it is difficult for him to rush to the basket in time."

Ben Wallace touched his chin and analyzed.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

The Rockets players are very convinced by Daben's opinion on defense!

"If he passes by me, I will definitely block him!"

Curry said seriously.

As soon as the words fell, many players in the conference room couldn't help laughing.

Of course, this is not to mock Curry.

It's just that Mengshen, as the most "thin" one among the starters, is the first to express his attitude, everyone is inevitably a little surprised.

Other starters followed suit, expressing a willingness to defend.

"The premise of this tactic is to win the scrimmage."

"The success rate of our team's jump ball is definitely in the forefront of the league. If we win the scrum, we can also play the same tactic and engage their mentality."

Tony Allen added, with a sly twitch at the corner of his mouth when it comes to "getting the mentality."

Everyone smiled knowingly and nodded.

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

Looking back at the game, the Celtics attack.

Rondo advanced with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.

In the last game, Director Long carried the team on his shoulders and scored 35 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists alone!

The Heat's point guards, whether it's Chalmers or Mike Bibby, have nothing to do with him.

But in this game, the Heat are clearly prepared.

They no longer let Chalmers defend Rondo, but let Wade, who is stronger and more explosive, defend.

As soon as everyone in the Rockets saw this arrangement, they immediately realized that the Heat must also be studying their own game.

"This should be based on our defensive strategy against Russell...letting Rondo shoot and cutting off his connection with his teammates can indeed greatly reduce Rondo's power."

"Rondo's passing skills are top-notch, but the impact is definitely not as good as Westbrook. Being targeted like this, it is basically impossible to play like the previous game."

"Damn it... Boss is such a good strategy, just like that."

......

Everyone said something to each other, and Shu Hao, who usually doesn't talk much, also said: "The boss came to see my training once before and said a word, I was very impressed."

Everyone immediately became interested and focused their attention.

Shu Hao continued: "He said that in the future of basketball, if a guard cannot shoot steadily, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the league. Moreover, the shortcomings of insufficient shooting ability will be magnified in the playoffs. "

"Well, although this sentence is a bit absolute, it is indeed the truth."

"Boss is always talking about court space. If you have a player on the team who can't shoot, space can't be maximized."

Mark Jackson nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Tony Allen touched his nose in embarrassment,

A guard with insufficient shooting ability...he is the most suitable for this characteristic in the team!

But Mr. Tony's basketball philosophy is - I don't understand offense, so don't try to understand it either.

This sentence can be translated as: The team will have no offensive space when I play, but it is useless if you have offensive space, because I will prevent you from making shots.

Ben Wallace and Birdman Anderson also had complicated expressions.

They have all reached the age of retirement, their basketball skills have already been finalized, and it is impossible to cultivate their shooting ability.

But that doesn't mean they disagree with this view.

On the contrary, the two of them felt that if Shen Fei had appeared a few years earlier, maybe they would have made greater achievements on the offensive end!

"Greg, you can practice shooting if you have time after regular training."

Ben Wallace turned to Oden and said.

The emperor nodded solemnly.

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

On the field, facing the situation of being emptied, Rondo made the same choice as Westbrook yesterday.

He shot decisively from beyond the three-point line...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

3:0, the Celtics took the lead!

In the transition between offense and defense, after Chalmers dribbled the ball across the half court, he passed the ball to James, and he ran away.

James and Howard run high pick-and-rolls.

In this regard, the Celtics' defensive strategy is very clear-shrink the inside!

Both O'Neal and Pierce chose to "sink back" and did not give the opponent a chance to break through the inside.

Seeing this, James also received the ball from outside the three-point line and made a decisive shot...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

The ball bounced high, giving Howard time to hit the rebound.

Warcraft squeezed O'Neal away with a stride, rushed to the penalty area, then jumped high and received the rebound.

This is not over yet, Howard took a step forward, and then the overlord raised his tripod and ran to the basket...

"bang!"

A powerful dunk caused the American Airlines Center Arena to boil instantly.

"superman!!!"

"Dwight, I'm going to give you a monkey~"

"Crush the inside of the Celtics, my Superman!"

The fans' excitement was not without reason.

Howard is too horizontal!

From grabbing the offensive rebound to dunking the ball, his performance can be said to be unmatched!

3: 2.

After changing sides to fight again, after Rondo came to the top of the arc, he was emptied again.

Yes, even if he made his first three-pointer steadily, the Heat still insisted on the "release" strategy.

Faced with such a "courtesy", Rondo readily accepted and made another three-pointer...

This time, the basketball god didn't favor him.

The ball hit the side of the rim and bounced out.

Howard jumped high, took a look at the mountains, took off the rebound, and immediately handed the ball to Wade beside him.

The Flash lowered his head, stepped on the accelerator, and ran towards the Celtics' half.

At the same time, James also plugged in at high speed from the other side of the court.

The two of them, one left and one right, quickly killed the green army's hinterland like a storm.

Their speed was so fast that the Celtics, who are good at defense, had no time to return to the defense, and only Rondo returned to the basket alone.

Looking at the combination of James and Wei in front of him, Director Long felt that his arms were in the van, and he wanted to use tactical fouls to destroy the Heat's fast break.

But when he just rushed towards Wade, the Flash flicked his wrist and lightly tossed the ball into the air...

The next moment, James "overlord the world" and succeeded in an alley-oop slam dunk!

4:3, the Heat overtook the score.

Celtics attack.

Rondo was emptied from beyond the three-point line again and again.

This time, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

The existence of the Janeway combination means that as long as the Heat are given the opportunity to fight back, they will quickly make you pay.

Therefore, the attack success rate is particularly important.

If you continue to shoot from the outside, after a few counterattacks, the game may be over!

Rondo is very sensible, and he directly turns into a sexy dealer, waiting for his teammates to move at the top of the arc.

After waiting for a while, Delonte West finally got rid of Chalmers' defense and went outside to catch the ball.

Rondo's passing was quick and accurate.

West took the ball very comfortably and shot it...

"duang!"

The ball bounced out of the basket again.

Ao under the basket tried his best to take off, but he still watched Howard take the ball off his head.

The Heat launched a counterattack again!

This time James pushed forward with the ball himself, and made a one-stop layup.

6: 3!

The Celtics fell into a passive position.

At this moment, Pierce stood up without hesitation.

He catches the ball in the post and tries to post up James.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

After three pushes, Pierce didn't advance much.

But he suddenly shook his shoulders, relying on changes in rhythm, successfully shook James behind him.

One trick worked, Pierce dribbled toward the bottom line, then stopped and shot a jumper.

James struggled to take off to block the block, but the ball still passed a centimeter from his fingertips...

"Shu~"

6: 5!

After the goal, Pierce raised his arms to celebrate.

Being able to single out James one-on-one is a great encouragement, both for him personally and for the Celtics!

But the good times didn't last long.

After the ball, the Green Army suddenly fell into a scoring drought.

In the next 3 minutes, they didn't score a goal in open play.

The Heat took the opportunity to rewrite the score to 16:7!

Rivers on the sidelines had no choice but to resort to a timeout.

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

"Rajon, they obviously want to let you score in this game, but cut you off from your teammates."

"So far in the series, it is difficult for us to win by conventional means, so the Heat's strategy actually gave us a 'glimpse of life'."

Rivers said to Rondo.

"You mean, let me make a bold move next?"

Rondo was very smart and quickly grasped Rivers' intentions.

"That's right, you are the only one in the team who has an easy shot."

"Maybe the outside world doesn't trust your shooting, but I believe in you very much. Everyone should be the same as me!"

Rivers said, looking around.

Pierce and others nodded solemnly.

"Did you see? Anyway, we have no way out, so we might as well try your hand!"

Rivers clenched his fists.

Rondo didn't refuse any more, just nodded!

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

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Celtics serve.

Rondo advanced with the ball and reached the familiar top of the arc again.

This time, without hesitation, he decisively shot a three-pointer!

Miracles often favor those who dare to try.

The moment Rondo shot with confidence, the result of the ball was doomed!

......

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out.

Howard accepted the rebound with a smile, then waved his hand, and found Wade with a long pass.

The Flash took great strides and quickly reached the hinterland of the Green Army.

Facing the last line of defense - Delonti - West, Wade resorted to the signature European step.

From left to right, West was so shaken that he couldn't find his way, so he could only stand still and watch Wade complete his layup!

18: 7.

The point difference came to double digits!

Shanshan rushed back to his own half, and Rondo shook his head helplessly.

Shooting is not what he is good at.

Some excellent shooters often know whether the ball will go in as soon as they make a shot.

But Rondo's situation is... after the ball is out of his hands, he can only wait for the result in silence.

He has no idea whether the goal can be scored or not!

But even so, in the next few rounds, Rondo resolutely implemented the coach's arrangement.

After the first quarter, he took the most shots in the game, reaching 8 times, but only scored two goals (one goal was scored at the beginning).

Rondo's cold touch also directly caused the Celtics to fall behind the Heat by 15 points at 35:20 in the first quarter!

Seeing this, the Rockets in Houston almost lost interest in watching the game.

After all, with such a huge advantage, the Heat will definitely not reveal any "bottom of the box" tactics.

Therefore, Mark Jackson ended the viewing activities early after the third quarter ended and the game entered garbage time.

"How did you feel after watching it?"

Mark Jackson asked with a smile.

"If I had to say it...the Celtics were chasing some points for a while because they got fouled by the Heat and got to the free-throw line. When they got to the free-throw line, the game was called off, and the Heat didn't Opportunity to fight back."

Yao Ming analyzed.

Mark Jackson was about to comment when the phone rang.

"It's the boss calling."

He raised his hand and shook the phone and said, then connected the call.
