I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 482

Si Bo was also a little stunned.

He didn't expect that the Knicks would make such a big tactical change in just one intermission.

But after all, they are also a battle-tested team, and they have played against other powerful teams in the East many times.

Coach Spoelstra believes that James and the others on the court can definitely handle a mere inside-cutting tactic.

But what Coach Spoelstra didn't expect was that the Knicks had even made changes in their defensive tactics.

Randolph went to top Bosh, and Jordan took the initiative to defend James.

The way Jordan defended James also left all Heat fans stunned.

James held the ball and stood for a three-pointer. Jordan retreated and defended inside the three-point line, not caring about James' three-pointer.

James was also dumbfounded.

This was the first time he saw someone so defensive about him.

In the CCTV studio, Teacher Zhang Weiping also sounded a little surprised.

"Did the Knicks take the exam directly?"

Yu Jia was also a little surprised.

"It's a bit too much to directly test James for three points."

The word "examination" is a commonly used word on the field.

That is to say, it means testing the opponent's three-point ability.

To put it bluntly, it is to catch the opponent without shooting, directly let him take a three-pointer, and let him take the shot.

This method, no matter where it is placed, is somewhat insulting.

During the halftime break, when Su Ye asked Jordan to guard James, people around him thought that Jordan couldn't guard him.

"put!"

"Just let him vote!"

"If you die for us, it's mine!"

With Su Ye's words, it would be hard for everyone to continue arguing about this issue.

Stand back and defend.

Even if Jordan's feet are not flexible, he can still defend James' attack very well.

James was completely dumbfounded now.

He didn't expect that the Knicks would just let him go.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on James.

James was sweating heavily on his forehead.

He knows better than anyone that he is not good at three-pointers.

He can shoot, but he rarely does so, and his shooting percentage is so-so.

After taking action, even he himself did not have the confidence to guarantee to others that he would be able to hit.

James dribbled and paced near the three-point line, but did not take a shot.

The commentators also frowned.

"Is this going to be released directly?"

"What do you mean, do you want to vote?"

"I feel like I have to shoot. If I score, I won't lose. If I miss, I'll go back to defense."

"LeBron, how do you decide?"

James looked at his teammates looking at him, and then at the eyes of his opponent, the Knicks.

He was sweating profusely at this moment.

Shooting?

Or continue to break through the inside line?

There is no doubt that by forcing Jordan into the paint, his offensive success rate will definitely be much lower than it is now.

If you don't shoot now, your opponent will be more sure to let you three-pointers later.

If Hu is scored, the Knicks may give up double-teaming themselves.

James gritted his teeth and his heart skipped a beat.

tmd!

Voted!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on James.

Everyone saw James getting ready for a jump shot and the basketball came out.

Everyone on the court also noticed the arc of James' basketball flight.

Everyone in the Heat's expressions froze.

There was joy in the eyes of everyone in the Knicks.

Needless to say, there is something wrong with the obvious curvature of James' ball.

The moment the basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced high, exclamations of "regret" came from the CCTV studio.

"Ouch! What a pity! It's too short!"

"It is true that James is not good at three-pointers."

"If it's two points, James still has a chance. The three-pointer has completely touched his knowledge blind spot!"

"You see, James took three-pointers in the regular season, averaging 3.5 per game, but he could only hit 1.2."

"That's not his style of offense."

"That's true. His three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs this year is not as high as in the regular season."

The basketball bounced out of the frame, and Jordan turned around and jumped up to grab the backboard.

The Heat's open position is destined to have no offensive rebounds.

After grabbing the rebound, Jordan passed the ball directly to Su Ye.

Su Ye took the ball and launched a fast break.

When he saw James positioning himself to defend him in advance, he passed the ball directly to Stephenson who was coming next to him.

When James saw that Su Ye was not the one to end the offense, he turned around and went to help the team stop Stephenson.

But his front foot just reached Stephenson.

Stephenson hit the ground and passed the ball to Su Ye, who was cutting inside.

Su Ye jumped high and completed the dunk.

In a fast break 2-on-1 situation, James was completely played by two people and had no room to fight back.

At this moment, on the Heat bench, Coach Spoelstra's expression became a little ugly.

He didn't expect that the Knicks would directly defeat the Heat with this offensive method.

Two consecutive hits have shortened the point difference between the two sides to only 1 point.

When it's the Heat's turn to attack.

DeAndre Jordan once again fell back.

This made James furious.

He stared at Jordan and spat out trash talk, preparing to try to anger Jordan.

"Don't you dare to guard against me?"

"The championship center is so cowardly?"

"You are really not half as good as Hayes, otherwise you wouldn't have cost the team 7 points in the second quarter!"

Little did you know that Jordan was completely unmoved by James' trash talk.

He didn't even frown, he just stood quietly behind with his arms open, ready to stop James from attacking the inside.

James was really anxious now.

He clearly remembered that Jordan had a bad temper and was easily irritated.

Why is Jordan so weird today?

Could it be that someone had taken away his body?

James wondered.

But Jordan was very calm.

During the halftime break, with Su Ye and the others guiding him, he just wanted to play the game well.

He didn't hear any nonsense.

Although James's words did anger him for another moment, Jordan has now learned to reconcile with himself.

Stephenson, who was next to Jordan, suddenly heard a trivial chattering in his ears.

"Can't hear, can't hear, can't hear."

"What? I'm a coward? Huh... As long as you can win if you're cowardly!"

"Not as good as Hayes? Huh... Hayes is my brother, LeBron is the most cowardly, he doesn't even dare to shoot three-pointers."

Stephenson wiped away cold sweat.

He also didn't expect Jordan to be so calm tonight for the team.

On the other side, James on the three-point line was really anxious.

How could he break out if Jordan didn't show up?

The only opportunity left for him now is to take a three-point shot.

James bit the bullet and threw another three-pointer.

The three-pointer still bounced out of the frame.

DeAndre Jordan grabbed the rebound again and showed two rows of big white teeth at James.

At this moment, James almost burst his lungs with anger.

He never thought that one day he would be guarded like this.

Two consecutive three-pointers really made the atmosphere on the Heat a bit awkward.

As the star of the team, he was restricted by his opponents.

The blow to morale was huge.

But when it was the Knicks' turn to attack, James directed all his anger at the Knicks.

During their defensive round, facing Stephenson's layup, he jumped up and slapped him hard.

The ball was not fanned away.

But Stephenson's hand was sore from the beating.

There is no doubt that Stephenson scored two free throws, but he could only make one of two free throws.

The score between the two sides was equalized.

During the free throw, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia also discussed the Knicks' defensive strategy in the third quarter in the CCTV studio.

"Teacher Zhang, do you think the Knicks' defensive tactics will always be effective? After all, it's not that James doesn't have three-point ability, he's just not stable enough. Aren't the Knicks afraid of his shooting touch?"

Yu Jia's problem is indeed what Knicks fans are most worried about now.

As someone who has commented on NBA games for many years, Mr. Zhang Weiping has watched countless games, large and small.

When he heard this question, he explained it without any panic.

"First of all, the key point of this problem is that James' three-pointers are not stable enough."

"Even if he makes a good shot, it won't be too late for the Knicks to start defending."

"On the contrary, James wasted offensive opportunities again and again before making a move, which gave the Knicks a chance to counterattack."

"Look, for example, right now, the 7-point difference at the beginning was equalized in less than 2 minutes!"

"There is no doubt that the Knicks' tactics were very successful this time!"

Teacher Zhang Weiping's words also made Knicks fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Yu Jia looked at the Heat's offensive round that had started on the court and asked doubtfully.

"Teacher Zhang Weiping, do you think James will take action again this time?"

"Probably not."

As soon as he finished speaking, James reached the three-point line and directly and decisively threw a three-pointer.

A perfect three-point shot.

At this moment, James had a straight face, raised his right hand high, gestured with three fingers, and signaled to the fans that this was a three-pointer.

Heat fans, who had been silent at first, cheered excitedly after seeing James hit a three-pointer.

This ball made James very satisfied.

He felt that after hitting a three-pointer, the Knicks would no longer dare to let him go.

Unexpectedly, in the next offensive round, when James walked to the three-point line with the ball, Jordan crouched behind again, with no intention of guarding him at all.

this moment.

James was stunned.

Si Bo was dumbfounded.

The fans were also silent.

There is no doubt that the Knicks are determined to test James' three-pointer tonight.

After all, with the Heat's offensive formation, five people are on the outside. As long as James takes action, they will have no chance of rebounding.

Even returning to defense may slow the Knicks by half a beat.

This method left James completely speechless.

Since you let it go, let’s vote!

But before taking the shot this time, James waved to everyone in advance, indicating that he was ready to grab rebounds at any time.

Now he has no confidence to continue taking action.

Sure enough, the three-pointer hit the frame again.

James made 4 of 1 three-pointers tonight, completing his normal regular season indicators.

Even the fans are talking about it.

"James, stop shooting, come on!"

"Don't be angry! This is a crucial game!"

"If you can't give it to Wade, let Wade come!"

Sure enough, on the Heat's next offensive possession.

James stopped shooting.

He picked up the ball and went straight towards Jordan.

Jordan, who had already taken a stance, spread his hands and faced him with a solid big hat.

If you want to challenge a center who has already set up his position, let alone Jordan, even if other centers come, they can give James a bloody blow.

The forum instantly went crazy.

Many fans burst into laughter.

"I'm so laughing that I'm scared!"

"Don't dare to vote! This James!"

"No, where did your arrogant energy go when you just scored a three-pointer?"

"I just like James' unruly attitude when he scores goals. Can you perform another one and shoot more shots?"

James was also feeling miserable.

He also didn't expect the Knicks to play dirty tricks.

Just five rounds of back and forth, and a full four minutes had passed.

The Knicks relied on James to give opportunities in turn and directly scored 12 points.

The Heat have only scored 3 points from the beginning to now.

Not only that, after solving James' problem, Su Ye also showed his firepower on the offensive end.

On the offensive end, the Knicks have only two tactics.

Either the whole team works together, or Su Ye handles the ball on his own.

Facing James, who was far worse than in the previous two quarters, Su Ye pulled out a three-pointer directly in front of James.

This three-pointer hit, and James was also frustrated.

The two teams started with a 7-point gap, and gradually turned into a full 4-point lead with the Knicks.

Soon, the Heat called a timeout to adjust.

After the players from both sides returned to the field, teacher Zhang Weiping began to explain the game even more passionately.

"In the Knicks' offensive round, Su Ye holds the ball!"

"Su Ye breaks into the inside line! Wade is here to help defend!"

"You come to let Su Ye go, what will Delong do?"

"There's an open opportunity! Does Deron want a three-pointer?"

"Huh? I have to break into the inside for the second time!"

"The ball is in!"

"Delong's choice is a bit uncalm."

……

"Let's look at this Knicks offensive possession again."

"This time Stephenson is holding the ball, which is rare in the Knicks!"

"Stephenson beats Jones!"

"no problem!"

"Jones himself is slow and can't keep up with someone like Stephenson!"

"Here it comes! Bosh makes up the defense!"

"The Heat judged that Stephenson was going to pass the ball!"

"Passed it! To Deron?"

"Delong passes again!"

"Su Ye three points!"

"In!"

"nice shot!"

"I have to say that the Knicks' offense in the third quarter tonight was very smooth."

……

The fans on the field also showed surprised expressions.

From the start of the third quarter, the Knicks seemed to be a different person.

The various offensive combinations made everyone feel that the Knicks were different.

Relying on various series of methods, the Knicks directly beat the Heat "8:0" as soon as they came back.

The four-point lead from the beginning was quickly expanded to a full 12 points.

This caused Coach Spoelstra to immediately call a timeout.

A full 6 minutes had passed in the game, and they only got one three-pointer from James, which was obviously wrong.

At this moment, the commentary box was also discussing something.

"How do I feel that since the third quarter, the Heat have been playing around the three positions of Su Ye, Deron and Stephenson."

"Indeed, in this way, three people are working in tandem on offense, frequently killing the inside, and there are basically no outside shots."

"Yes, I think that's the case too. The Knicks' style changed a bit suddenly tonight."

"The Heat must find a way to solve it, otherwise the score will be spread out soon!"

……

Fans also noticed this problem.

At this moment on the Heat bench, Coach Spoelstra is sweating profusely.

In the first two quarters of the game, Bosh felt good. He thought that relying on Bosh's performance tonight, they could easily defeat the Knicks.

Unexpectedly, in the third quarter, the Knicks' intensity changed dramatically.

While observing from the sidelines for half a quarter, Coach Spoelstra has yet to come up with a way to restrain the Knicks' current offensive rhythm.

"Joel Anthony."

"Get ready, you play center."

"We still need to change our tactics. We will play more pick-and-rolls and chase points first!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the Heat were a little complicated.

They no longer looked confident as they did in the first two quarters.

But at this moment, Prosser is smiling all over the Knicks.

He kept patting everyone on the shoulders, praising everyone, and asking everyone to work harder and try to widen the point difference in the third quarter.

Seeing the laughter and laughter in the Knicks team, Su Ye also smiled and drank two mouthfuls of water to replenish his energy.

The Knicks' tactics in the third quarter tonight can be regarded as their trump card.

And it’s a trump card that won’t be restrained by your opponent.

Give up the outside line completely!

Turn into three breakthroughs!

In simple terms, it's a blast.

He, Delong, and his junior brother took turns blasting the inside line, disrupting the opponent's defensive formation with their rushes again and again.

It can be said that it was a revised version of the "Princeton" tactics that was known as the most gorgeous offense in the league.

This tactic can be said to be the King's bottom-line tactic back then. Some of these small-scale ball transfer tactics are still used in the league today.

And it is not that easy to achieve this tactic.

First of all, you need three people in your team to have the ability to attack with the ball and organize the pass at the same time.

There are only a handful of teams in the league that can fulfill these two conditions.

It just so happens that the Knicks are just right to do just that.

Stephenson's addition gave the Knicks exactly the third ball-holding point.

And coupled with a lot of practice during the regular season, they can make perfect use of this tactic to create multiple offenses.

When the three of them link up, they can shoot three-pointers, finish, or give Jordan an alley-oop.

The timeout is about to end.

Su Ye wiped his sweat with a towel, reached out and patted Stephenson on the shoulder, praising him.

"Played well."

"Just fight like this."

"Behave now."

Stephenson nodded sharply with gleaming eyes.

He stole the show tonight.

In the third quarter, this guy noticed that many media were taking crazy pictures of him.

Now he is already thinking about what kind of handsome photos of him will be published in major sports newspapers after tonight's game.

The two sides returned to the field again.

Sure enough, the Heat changed their tactical system.

They changed from their most common stretch in the second quarter to a positional battle like the Knicks.
