NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

Chapter 416: Tactics first show their power

Li Kaiming made an extreme rescue, not only saving Xiao Ka's ball that was about to fly out of the baseline, but also successfully scored with a very coquettish hand-change layup. This scene stunned everyone on the court!

Especially Bosh, who mainly defended Li Kaiming, was so angry that his face turned green!

Damn it, I, the Dragon King of the North, managed to force this guy into a corner, can I let him in?

And Kawhi, who was passing the ball, still maintained the calmness that a paralyzed face should have. This calm look made James standing next to him look at him!

This guy handles the ball well!Look down on this facial paralysis!

In fact, at this moment, Leonard's hands were hidden behind his back, trembling slightly. He couldn't help but torture himself in his heart:

Am I stupid?Did the goal go in?My assist?Could it be that I can really handle the ball?

Seeing Li Kaiming running over to give him a high-five, Leonard swallowed and then stretched out his hand towards Li Kaiming. At this time, Li Kaiming opposite also stretched out his hand...

Snapped!

There was a sound of hitting, and Leonard's body shook!

Li Kaiming slapped Leonard on the butt angrily, "You kid, what kind of birdie did you pass? You could have just thrown it on the timer!"

Li Kaiming would never have thought at this time that his casual joke about Leonard would be realized by a guy who looks like a sewer turtle in the future...

The Heat served the ball and handed the ball to James in the frontcourt. Seeing James take the ball, the Wizards' entire defensive formation took a step inside. There was no way, who let the great King's outside skills fail.

However, James was at his peak at this time. Even though the Wizards were stuck in the paint and had a top-level defensive player like Kawhi on the outside, he still managed to break through to the basket, and then faced Leonard and Bu Lucky scored twice!

Even Li Kaiming next to him was speechless when he saw this scene. James's physical talent is really terrifying. If he didn't play basketball and move bricks on the construction site, he could earn over [-] yuan a month!

After scoring, James jumped sideways to the backcourt while bending his left arm to show off his well-developed upper arm muscles to the camera. This is a common celebration move used by NBA players to express their strength, but I don’t know why James did it a bit weird...

After watching for a while, Li Kaiming finally understood. It turned out to be because others were running forward or backward like normal people, but James was walking sideways...

The Wizards served to the frontcourt. Hinrich held the ball and cooperated tactically with Li Kaiming. This time the Heat were well prepared. Not only did Chalmers and Bosh come to defend, but James Wade who was standing on the line also blocked the ball. Part of the focus is on the top of the key, always ready to double-team Li Kaiming.

It seems that after an offseason of hard training, Spoelstra's defensive philosophy has been updated a lot. It can be seen that at least he has put a lot of effort into how to defend Li Kaiming.

But what Spoelstra did not consider was that Li Kaiming, who led the team with his offense last season, would completely change his style of play this season. The Wizards' off-ball movement tactics have become more than a hundred times richer than last season.

After Li Kaiming's pick-and-roll ended, Hinrich hit the ball from Bosh's crotch and passed the ball to Li Kaiming. At this time, Thompson and Leonard on the outside began to cooperate without the ball.

Blatche stood on the baseline. Leonard first gave Thompson a screen at 45 degrees. Wade knew that Thompson was a threat from outside shooting, so he had to follow him. Leonard's first screen did not block Wade, but Thompson The movement was not over. After Wade squeezed past Leonard, he was about to catch up with Thompson. A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him!

It's the bottom line of Brachi!

Blatche, a standard center with a height of 213 meters, is here. Wade can't avoid it no matter how flexible he is. Thompson successfully used two consecutive screens to get to the bottom corner on the other side. This is the moment Li Kaiming has been waiting for. , passed directly to Thompson.

After Thompson caught the ball, he adjusted his feet on the spot, then took off and shot smoothly. With a bang, the Wizards hit their first three-pointer of the night!

2 is better than 7!

Wizards coach Sanders applauded and celebrated beside the bench. Thompson's performance completely exceeded his expectations. Although his scoring average is not as high as that of Nick Young, his understanding of tactics, especially his awareness of moving without the ball, How much higher than Nick Young!

The Heat served from the bottom line. The Big Three discussed a few words while walking. It was obvious that LeBron James was very dissatisfied with the missed three-pointer. He opened his mouth while dribbling and gestured at Wade and Bosh. Draw.

However, this level of communication failure was just a minor episode for the Heat's Big Three. The great king quickly dealt with his own internal affairs and then came to the frontcourt to control the battle.

This time James decided to do it by himself, but he also discovered that the facially paralyzed rookie he was facing didn't seem to be easy to mess with, at least he was definitely not a good candidate for singles, so James waved his hand and point guard Chalmers came over. Blocked Leonard.

This style of play has been used almost throughout James' entire career. His ability to catch mispositions may be unmatched by anyone in history. Coupled with his good passing awareness, opposing players dare not double-team him and leave him open. teammates.

However, the current Heat obviously do not have the space environment for James to worry about one-on-one mismatches. Chalmers' pick-and-roll did not allow Leonard and Hinrich to switch defenses. Instead, they unanimously chose to leave Chalmers open, and James Without hesitation, he passed the ball to Chalmers, who was open at the top of the arc. After receiving the ball, the latter showed a hesitant expression on his face. He reluctantly took the shot when he realized that Hinrich was about to come over!

But looking at Chalmers' constipated expression, he probably didn't like this method of attack.

The ball hit the basket but did not go in. Joel Anthony and Blatche under the basket fought fiercely to fight for even an inch of position.

Unfortunately, besides them, there were two other people who were also eyeing the rebound. Li Kaiming and Leonard rushed to the basket almost at the same time. Li Kaiming's height and wingspan advantage allowed him to pick off the rebound.

After passing the ball to Hinrich, Li Kaiming patted Leonard's waist again, "Good rebounding awareness!"

Leonard still had a paralyzed expression on his face, but he was actually extremely happy in his heart!

Wow!Li actually complimented me!

In his memory, Li Kaiming would always beat him easily in every duel training, and then left with a domineering "rookie" sentence. He had never praised him before, but he didn't expect that he would praise him today!

Although Li Kaiming's voice was very small and his movements were very slight, this scene was still keenly captured by Thompson who was passing by.

Thompson couldn't help but clenched his fists. Why didn't you praise me when I made a three-pointer, but why did you praise me when I grabbed a rebound with a paralyzed face?

right!I must not have scored enough three-pointers!

Clay found the source of the problem very easily, and then secretly made up his mind: I will hit more shots, and I will also get praise from Lee!

The Wizards went to the frontcourt and started with the same tactics. This time the Heat's defensive communication was very good, and Thompson's off-ball movement did not leave the space.

While James loudly directed his teammates to defend, he was secretly proud of himself.

I still have to take command. As long as I take action personally, what tactics can't be prevented?

Just as James was making a fuss, the paralyzed man standing next to him suddenly disappeared. When James looked back, the smile on his face froze instantly.

It turns out that the Wizards' tactics have changed. Thompson did not run out of space without the ball, but in order to defend him, James followed for a while and waited for Wade to get off the screen before defending Thompson. That is where During the process, Leonard was kept short.

Thompson's movement created space for Leonard. He cut directly into the basket according to the tactical drill. Li Kaiming hit the ball to Leonard, who hit the layup before James arrived!

This move was given to him by Li Kaiming, and Leonard still remembers what Li Kaiming said.

"As for your skill, don't think about throwing into the basket when you go for a layup. If you see the box mark on the backboard, just aim at it and hit it. Your hit rate will be much higher than your shooting..."

After more than a month of regular season practice, Leonard has now mastered the trick of making layups. The layups are becoming more and more difficult and the distance from the basket is getting farther and farther.

The Heat attacked, but didn't score for a long time. The ball finally got to Wade. Facing Thompson's one-on-one defense, Wade directly changed direction and went to the basket, then faked a move to activate Thompson, causing a foul and scoring!

This is a common problem for rookie players. They lack physical confrontation and have little experience. They are easily deceived into fouls by veterans. Moreover, rookie players also have a problem that they play too politely. The ball was replaced by Li Kaiming just now. He should jump directly when he jumps. Press Wade down and commit the foul to the end. It is best not to let him take action. If the player is more ruthless, he will even use a big foul to scare the opponent.

Wade went to the free throw line and hit the extra free throw, 5 to 9. Coach Spoelstra heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the team score. Originally, he was planning to call a timeout if the ball failed to score.

The Wizards served to the frontcourt. There was no pick-and-roll this time. Li Kaiming asked for the ball from the outside and prepared for a one-on-one. After all, he had been looking forward to this game for a long time. If he was not allowed to score more points, wouldn't the expectation be in vain?

When Bosh saw Li Kaiming's posture, he immediately felt the fear of being dominated by Li Kaiming in a one-on-one challenge, so he hurriedly followed out and yelled at his teammates without looking back!

"Help me defend!"

Bosh simply shouted the most cowardly words at the most domineering volume. If there is an audience whose native language is not English, they will definitely think that Bosh is saying, "Don't come over, I can prevent him to death!"

The Heat's defensive response was also very quick. Leonard, who was facing James, was not a threat on the outside, so he stood not far from Bosh. As long as Li Kaiming broke through to the basket, James could help defend immediately.

At this time, the audience at the American Airlines Arena also began to help the Heat players defend. They still remember the record Li Kaiming set here last season. They were simply riding on the Heat's face to output!

So when the vindictive Heat fans saw Li Kaiming holding the ball and preparing for a one-on-one challenge, they stood up one after another, made noise, and kept shouting along with the DJ at the scene.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Li Kaiming started, and he made a small change of direction in front of his body to find a rhythm. Bosh lowered his center of gravity and remained unmoved, so Li Kaiming straightened his dribbling arm and made a gesture of making a large change of direction. Bosh His body shook violently, and then his feet reacted immediately, adjusting in advance in the direction he predicted.

It's a pity that Li Kaiming's move was just a fake move. After finishing his suspended dribble, he suddenly pulled up the ball and hit a three-pointer under Bosh's ashen-faced gaze!

5 to 12!

American Airlines Arena suddenly became extremely quiet!
