Legendary basketball manager

......

......

"duang!"

The sky failed as people wished, the ball hit the side of the basket and bounced out of the basket.

Korver did not seize this excellent opportunity.

And as he missed a three-pointer, the game was settled.

In the end, the Heat defeated the visiting Bulls 112:101 at home and won the first victory of the series.

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

After watching the game, Mark Jackson immediately asked the players for their opinions.

"The Bulls tried their best, but they relied too much on Rose on the offensive end. At the end of the game, Rose was not physically fit enough and had to face double teams. The Bulls' offense stalled immediately."

Shu Hao analyzed.

"If you want to beat this Heat team, it is not enough to rely on only one person. On the offensive end, you must have at least two strong points in order to deal with the Heat's high press."

"In addition, outside players must have a fast ball speed. Once they are forced to the sideline or corner, it is difficult to avoid mistakes. LeBron and Dwayne are in great physical condition."

Maddie said lightly.

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to Curry.

As the core point guard of the Rockets, if he meets the Heat, Curry is bound to enjoy the treatment that Rose has today.

But talent is as strong as Rose, and it is a bit overwhelming in this game.

If Rose's position is given to Curry, can he do better?

This doubt not only appeared in the minds of the Rockets generals, but Curry was also thinking about it.

"I don't have the bounce and explosiveness of Derrick, but ... I'm going to figure out a way to get the ball out before they double-team."

Curry pondered for a moment before giving his own answer.

"But there is no sign of their high position pressing."

"Do you still remember the scramble in the fourth quarter? That time James and Wade suddenly went up and pinched Rose."

Tony Allen asked seriously.

"This kind of grabbing, even if it's Janeway, he will only do it 3-5 times in a game, right?"

"Because they are the core of the Heat's perimeter defense, if they both save, as long as I pass the ball, my teammates will basically have an open shot."

"So, at the critical moment, I will hand over the ball after halftime, and then I will run without the ball."

Curry just figured these things out.

Assuming that the person being double-teamed is McGrady, with t-mac's height and vision, he is capable of passing the ball.

And when the opportunity of an open shot falls on a shooter like Curry, it is basically equivalent to sending points.

After thinking about this point, Janeway's high position pressing will be self-defeating.

This tactic may have an effect in certain rounds, but at a critical moment, the Heat themselves dare not use it.

And all of this is based on the fact that the Rockets have a player with talent like McGrady and a shooter like Curry!

"It's quite...very reasonable."

Tony Allen didn't expect Curry to answer so quickly, and there was nothing to refute.

"Stephen's thinking is similar to mine. The Bulls did not make any mistakes in this game, but there are still flaws at the tactical level."

"In the following games, Thibodeau can replace Bogans with Korver while maintaining defensive strength, which may be able to break the Heat's high press."

"The specific method is what Stephen just said."

Mark Jackson looked at Curry with admiration and said.

"However, with Derek's height, it is not an easy task to pass the ball under Janeway's double-team."

"The Bulls want to break the game, it's too difficult..."

Yao Ming sighed.

"Okay, it's getting late now, let's discuss it in detail tomorrow in training, now everyone go back and rest."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"Goodbye, coach."

"seeya~"

......

After the players left the video analysis room, Mark Jackson sat back in his seat and continued to write and draw in his notebook.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Shen Fei's phone.

"Hey, Boss, do you have anything to do with me?"

Mark Jackson said hello.

"Did you watch the game just now? I have a few ideas. Listen to them and see if you can get some inspiration."

Shen Fei said straight to the point.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'm going to get ready." Mark Jackson hurriedly turned the notebook to a new page: "Okay, you can start now."

"At present, the Heat's sense of space on the offensive end is insufficient. The three of Jan Viejo are mainly breakthroughs, but Ray Allen and Chalmers can't open up enough space for them."

"So, the Mavericks used zone defense tactics in the last game, and we can learn from it."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"Zone defense? Zone defense can indeed limit breakthroughs, but it is not enough to protect the two bottom corners. Ray Allen is definitely a killer in the bottom corner position."

"If you really want to use zone defense, you have to make some targeted arrangements."

Mark Jackson recorded and analyzed.

"Well, this fine-tuning is the work you want to complete."

"The second point is the tactic of 'cutting Huo'. This tactic is very suitable for us. We have a deep bench lineup and can boldly implement this tactic for a long time."

"But you don't get stuck in a fixed mindset, you have to be like a bull and use it when you are behind."

On the other end of the phone, when Shen Fei spoke later, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch a sly arc.

"It doesn't have to be used when you are behind?"

Mark - Jackson some doubts.

"Yes, for example, when the Heat want to gain momentum, or when the hand is hot, we can chop Howard and disrupt their rhythm."

"For another example, in the last half of the game, we can also chop Howard so that they can't chase points."

"In a word, be flexible and don't fall into a fixed mindset."

Shen Fei reminded.

"Can you still play like this...I learned, I learned!"

Mark Jackson suddenly realized, and quickly wrote down the two examples given by Shen Fei.

"If you think of anything else later, I'll call and tell you."

"There are 7 games left, we must win every game."

Shen Fei couldn't help emphasizing the mission plan again.

"Don't worry, boss, the team members and I will do our best."

Mark - Jackson vowed to respond.

"Well, that's it for now."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fei hung up the phone.

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

While the two were talking on the phone, discussions about the Eastern Conference Finals had already begun on major social media.

The famous ESPN commentator-a-Smith wrote on his personal Twitter:

"In this game, the Heat still won a strong victory in an extremely unfavorable situation. I think. The tenacity of this Heat and their desire for a championship are far beyond everyone's imagination."

His statement has been affirmed by many netizens.

Fans have left messages in the comment area:

"You can always trust LeBron! After he returned to the court in the fourth quarter, he completely controlled the situation on the field and established the Heat's victory in one fell swoop! #君林天下##阿克伦的儿童#"

"Upstairs, it would be too much for you to attribute all the credit to LeBron today! If he hadn't fallen into a foul crisis, the Heat wouldn't have played so hard. Let me tell you a statistic, when the Big Three were on the court at the same time today , the Heat have a margin of 17 points, how long have they played together?"

"It's not easy to win this game. But Howard really has to practice free throws. If he still hits such a hip-lifting shooting percentage in the finals, it is impossible for the Heat to beat the Rockets."

"After watching this game, I think the Heat are worthy of the Rockets. James, Wade, Howard, three of the top five Heat in the league, as long as they don't fall into the foul trap like today, I can't think of defeating them in the series. their way!"

"You can't see who can beat the Heat, and I still can't see who can beat the Rockets! Didn't the Heat win by only ten points today? The Rockets led the whole game in the last game, and won by more than 20 points in the end."

......

Fans, you say what you say.

Although there is still a dispute over who is better between the Heat and the Rockets.

But in general, after this Eastern Conference finals, fans have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Heat——

This is a strong team that can play against the wind and is very tough!

In previous years, a team with such characteristics is definitely the biggest favorite for the championship.

This is similar to the fact that the Lakers, which had f4 back then, also had the tenacity of their opponent in the finals, the Detroit Pistons.

However, this year there is still a leading Rockets team.

In the absence of a rematch between the two teams, no one dares to say that the Heat are the better team.

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

Two days later, at the Toyota Center, the second round of the Western Conference Finals continued.

Such an important game, CCTV will naturally not miss it.

This time they sent Zhang Weiping and Su Qun to commentate the game.

"Hello viewers, welcome to watch the broadcast of NBA games brought to you by cctv-5."

"I'm Su Qun!"

"Hi everyone, I'm your old friend——Zhang Weiping."

In the broadcast room, two commentators started.

"What I bring to you today is the second game of the Western Conference Finals! Director Zhang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Su Qun asked.

"No problem~ We all know that the Rockets won the last game without bloodshed! Not only did they play a high-level offense, but they also restricted Nowitzki very well."

"Anyone who watched the last round of the Mavericks-Lakers game knows that Nowitzki is basically unstoppable in the entire series."

"Today the Mavericks want to get different results, Nowitzki must recover."

Zhang Weiping analyzed.

"But I think it's very difficult. In the last game, there were mainly two people who were responsible for defending Nowitzki. One was Ben Wallace, and the other was our Arab League."

"The old and the young have very different defensive styles, but they all play very tough. Nowitzki is not easy to play against anyone."

Su Qun said with a smile.

"We definitely hope that the Rockets will win the game smoothly, but objectively speaking, it is difficult for a superstar like Nowitzki to be depressed for two consecutive games."

"I'm guessing... no matter how strong the defender is, he will definitely explode this time. As for the extent of the explosion, it depends on the game between the two sides."

Zhang Weiping continued.

"Well, Director Zhang made a lot of sense."

"I just got the starting lineups of both sides here, and I will read it for everyone. The Rockets' starting lineup is the same as the previous game. They sent: Curry, Tracy McGrady, George, Ben Wallace and Dayao."

"The Mavericks have made some changes. Stevenson, who performed poorly in the last game, was replaced by Caron Butler in the starting position. Their starting lineup is: Kidd, Butler, Marion, Nowis Key and Chandler."

Su Qun introduced.

"The Mavericks still dare not directly put Terry in the starting lineup. In order to deal with Tracy McGrady and George, they sent two forwards with a height of more than two meters in both games."

"I think Carlisle can actually try to mention Terry to the starting lineup and let him play against Curry."

"First, Terry's footsteps are fast and he can keep up with Curry. Second, his shooting ability can help Nowitzki open up the offensive space."

Zhang Weiping commented.

"Maybe Carlisle tends to increase the height of the wings to make the overall defense more stable."

"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"

After all, Su Qun waved his hand, the screen changed, and he came to the center of the court.

At this time, the starting players of the two teams are stepping onto the court one after another.

Interestingly, the players on both sides did not have much greeting.

Among them, there is not only the gunpowder smell of the Texas Civil War, but also the reason why Shen Fei made provocative remarks on Twitter before.

At the same time, Shen Fei belatedly walked into his box.

Today, in order to deal with some projects of Under Armor, he delayed for some time, but fortunately, he was in place before the start of the game.

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

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

Chandler jumped high and won the scrum with Yao Ming.

Mavericks go first!

As soon as they came up, the Dallas Cowboys showed a good game state.

In the first round of the game, Butler faced McGrady's defense, used the screen to break through to the free throw line, and made an emergency stop jump shot...

hit!

2:0, the Mavericks took the lead!

After the transition between offense and defense, their defense was also extremely active.

When Yao Ming received the ball in the low post, Nowitzki decisively dropped Ben Wallace and went to help defend.

Dayao didn't rush to attack, and immediately passed the ball to Da Ben who was in the open position.

But before Daben had time to take off, Butler had appeared behind him at some point, and cut the ball with one palm!

Chandler has quick eyes and quick hands, controlled the ball, and passed the ball to Kidd beside him.

The moment Kidd received the ball, all the Mavericks marched in unison, rushing to the Rockets' half court from various positions!

Such a scene was not seen in the last game between the two teams.

Speed ​​is the most important thing in soldiers. After speeding up, the chances on the field will naturally increase.

With a flick of his wrist, Kidd accurately found Nowitzki who followed up on the right.

After Nuo Tianwang got the ball, he faced Daben decisively and made a three-pointer!
