Legendary basketball manager

This tried and tested tactic before is also effective in this game.

After the four shooters opened up space for Howard, Warcraft got a chance to flex its muscles.

And so far, Noah has consumed a lot of physical energy in order to fight against Howard.

At this time, the two fought again, even if Noah used some small moves in the gray area, it would be difficult to parry Howard's back.

In the first round, he was pushed into the basket by Howard, and he could only watch the latter complete the layup.

25:21, the Heat continued to narrow the point difference.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Backup guard cj watson passes the ball down low.

Boozer received the ball smoothly, and his defender was James Jones of the Heat.

At this point, the other Bulls players quickly moved to the other side of the court.

Especially Noah moved to a place close to the three-point line.

Such a position also made Howard a little uncomfortable.

If Noah is completely released and runs to the other end of the court to help defend, then Noah can move easily without hindrance.

Howard is not worried about Noah's long-range shots.

What he is worried about is that Noah, who has been liberated, will make an off-ball pick-and-roll for Korver, and then the opportunity will fall into Korver's hands.

And for a first-class shooter like Korver to get an open shot, there is a high probability that he will lose points, and one loss will still be 3 points.

Therefore, Howard did not leave Noah easily.

[Wait for Boozer to get to the rim and I'll make it up... If he shoots outside the paint, let him do it. ]

Howard thought to himself.

However, Boozer did not mean to attack the paint.

On the contrary, what he is best at is the mid-range shooting.

Facing an old shooter with cold legs like Jones, Boozer played extremely easily.

I saw him chisel in twice, and then a fake movement of shaking his shoulders left and right caused Jones to shift his center of gravity.

And Boozer keenly sensed the direction of Jones' deviation with his back, turned around in the opposite direction, and then turned over to shoot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

27:21, the point difference returned to 6 points.

In the next few rounds, the two sides scored respectively.

Simply put, you can't guard me, and I can't guard you.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately. At the end of the first quarter, the score was temporarily fixed at 32:26, ​​and the Bulls entered the second quarter with a 6-point advantage.

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

Taking advantage of the break during the festival, the Rockets players in Houston discussed again.

"At present, the Bulls have achieved half of the solution that the boss said. Starting from Boozer's point of view, and letting Noah take Howard away...Under this strategy, the Heat are really not easy to defend."

"It depends on whether Thibodeau can think of using foul tactics to completely crack the 'one star and four shots'."

Mark Jackson commented.

"It should be seen soon. Thibodeau's coaching ability is still good. I feel that after the start of the second quarter, he will replace Noah and find a substitute center to execute foul tactics."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"That's interesting! If the Bulls really adopt foul tactics, will the Heat replace Howard as quickly as they did in the previous game?"

"If Howard is replaced, how will the four shooters be adjusted?"

Lori's eyes flashed with big doubts.

"Howard is not the only one in the Heat. He is good at playing 'one star and four shots'. James also played this tactic to the fullest when he was in the Cavaliers."

"However, the Heat currently do not have a big man with shooting ability. If James is really used to replace Howard at that time, a backup center will be replaced accordingly."

Shen Fei analyzed.

"Won't that become 'two stars and three shots'?"

Curry said jokingly.

Everyone laughed.

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

At the same time, on the Bulls' bench, Thibodeau really started to arrange foul tactics.

"Omer, you will replace Jokin in a moment. Your task after playing is very simple."

"Offensively, you have to help Derek do the pick-and-roll, and then block Howard, don't let him easily defend."

"And then, here's the point...whether we score or not, you foul Howard, get it?"

Thibodeau looked at Asik, the great Turkish bear in front of him, and arranged.

Asik nodded: "It's on me."

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Thibodeau nodded with satisfaction, then looked around the crowd and continued: "Everyone played very well in the first quarter. Next, we just need to maintain the intensity and strictly implement the tactics. In this game, we are There is a very good chance of winning it!"

With that said, Thibodeau stretched out his right fist.

With firm eyes, everyone stretched out their right fists and put their fists together.

They didn't shout slogans, but silence speaks louder now!

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

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

Bull serves.

Rose held the ball through half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

The Heat fine-tuned the lineup in the second quarter.

Chalmers replaced Bibby who felt bad.

Xiaocha is not as good as the veteran Bibby in terms of organization and three-point shooting, but his defensive ability and athletic ability are much better than Bibby's.

Spoelstra predicted that Thibodeau would not allow Rose to rest for too long, and there is a high probability that Rose will return to the court at the beginning of the second quarter.

Chalmers' playing is mainly to defend Rose!

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

In the first confrontation between the two, Rose passed Chalmers with a very fast crossover.

At this time, Howard couldn't care about Asik anymore, and immediately shrunk to the basket to protect the basket.

And Rose's countermeasure is a throw with a very high arc.

Howard hurried back to the basket, so he didn't have time to fully take off.

In the end, the basketball will pass over Howard's fingertips and fall into the net.

34: 26!

Howard clapped his hands in annoyance.

He just came close to taking Rose's throwing cap off.

[Look, I will call back immediately! ]

Howard thought to himself.

The opponent's main player scored on him. As the core of the Heat on the field, Howard naturally has to respond quickly.

"Pass the ball to me later."

Howard went to the bottom line to pick up the ball, and told Chalmers while serving.

Xiaocha nodded.

Howard passed the ball and then ran to the Bulls half court.

At this time, a big white bear ran towards him aggressively.

[? ? ? ]

Howard looked at Asik suspiciously.

Then, the latter stretched out his right hand and "stroked" the Warcraft's chest.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and the Bulls made a defensive foul.

"shit..."

Howard naturally understood the other party's intentions.

This damned foul tactic came to him again!
