Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

Before the game, the coaches of the two sides once again emphasized the matters to be paid attention to in this game. They boosted the morale of the team for the last time. Even though these words and these tactics, they have already said almost the entire series, but on this night , Whether it is D'Antoni, who reached the finals for the first time, or Pat Riley, who has already created the Lakers dynasty, they have all become wordy old mothers.

They tirelessly repeated the strategies they had set up before, and told the players what to pay attention to. This game, no matter who it is, cannot be missed!

As the time passed by every minute and every second, no matter how worried you were, no matter how much you thought about exhorting, you had to watch your most trusted disciples walk onto the court.

With the urging of the referee, Lin Zhan has already taken the lead and walked into the court.

Immediately bursts of overwhelming cheers and shouts came from the scene!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin"

"Kill the Heat! Let the Miamis go home and fish!"

The cheers and cheers of the fans resounded through the stadium, Lin Zhan has unknowingly become the most popular player in the current team!

Stoudemire, who also came to the scene to support the team and expressed that he was with the team, became the cheerleader among the fans at this moment. Even though his knee had not fully recovered, he was wearing the team's orange T-shirt , waving a huge orange towel in his hand and shouting non-stop, he seemed to be the leader and the number one fan of all the fans.

Stoudemire's excitement was written on his face, and tonight the big screen kept showing the front scorer of the team who couldn't play, as if to prove how united this team is, How much the city looks forward to tonight.

They are all looking forward to the team defeating the Heat tonight, accomplishing their best in one battle, and winning the first championship in team history!

The Suns entered the Finals in the 1990s. Under the leadership of Barkley and Kevin Johnson, they were once one of the best teams in the league. Unfortunately, as Barkley went to the Rockets, Kevin Johnson gradually aged. The glory of the past is gone forever, and the Phoenix people waited for another ten years before finally getting the revival of the team!

'Small Bully' Amare Stoudemire 16!

"Hacker" Shawn Marion!

'Zonda' Steve Nash!

And most importantly, joining the team this year has brought earth-shaking changes to the team and is irreplaceable.

‘God of War Kratos’ Lin Zhan!

Now, as long as they succeed in the last 48 minutes of the game, they can give this team and this city a feeling they have never experienced before!

The deafening cheers and shouts never stopped from the moment the players entered the arena. The shouting like a tsunami continued until O'Neill and Dior stood on the middle circle and the referee threw the basketball into the air. Stopped a little.

Well, because O'Neal easily defeated Diaw again, the Western Heat got the first wave of the ball.

The fans cheered at this time, somewhat cheering for O'Neal.

"Fatty man, hurry down! You are 43 years old, what are you still doing on the court?"

"I bet you will be too tired to stand up if you play for 3 minutes at most, go down and lie down!"

"Maybe you need an oxygen machine, or a defibrillator, or you're going to die suddenly on the field!"

Phoenix fans held back for three games, and finally waited for the team to return!

From the first second of the game, they launched their own offensive style to help their team as much as possible!

The Heat’s first attack, as usual, hit the inside and handed over to O’Neal to attack. After the first few games, Lin Zhan no longer played against O’Neal. D’Antoni still thinks Lin Zhan’s firepower and offensive ability , is what the Suns need most. At least in regular time, the person who deals with O'Neal is still Diaw.

Facing Dior, O'Neill had already shown his experience. With his body size, strength, and skills all suppressed, Dior couldn't make any effective resistance at all. He was completely wiped behind by O'Neill's turn, and he didn't even give him a hand. With Marion's chance caught, O'Neill jumped quickly and completed an earth-shattering dunk with both hands!

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the entire basketball hoop was shaken uncontrollably by O'Neal, who was doing his best. It made people worry that the basketball hoop would be directly pulled down by O'Neal.

Many fans at the scene couldn't help but gasped. Tonight's O'Neal has an extraordinary momentum!

However, Dior still didn't care about his 58th dunk in this round of the series. He lowered his head to look for the ball at the first time, and then quickly retreated outside the bottom line. With an extremely accurate long pass, he directly found Nash outside the 3-point line. .

The Suns' fast break starts again!

7 seconds or less will always be the real magic weapon for the Suns to settle down!

Jackson, Marion, and Lin Zhan split up and went down quickly. Nash was alone in the center to attract the Heat's defense. Payton, who was put on the starting lineup, played the top defense that he is famous for. Although his speed slowed down, he was still dead. Wrapped in front of Nash, to prevent the Suns from completing the fast break.

Positional warfare! That's what the Heat should be fighting for.

Payton's defense made it impossible for Nash to complete a quick advance, but the Suns still had their own three strikers. He didn't bother with Payton at all. He crossed with one hand and gave the ball to Marion at the end. After receiving the ball, Lyon only took one shot before passing the ball again, and it was passed to Lin Zhan who had already rushed to the basket.

"Boom!"

Lin Zhan started straight after receiving the ball, and dunked with both hands!

"Lin, do something fancy!"

"Learn to dunk with Amare! We love you even more!"

"You are better than Amare, you are just short of dunking! If you learn how to dunk, you will be even better than him!"

The fans booed and roared happily. This is one of the repertoires of the Suns' home court, but this time, the speaker had no intention of listening to it.

Riley on the sidelines looked ugly. Only in the first round, the Suns played the fast break that he had warned before the game, that he must pay attention to and guard against. This time, Riley, who had always been handsome and calm, finally became furious. Said: "Damn Gary! Did I let you go up for a walk? What did you do? Watch Nash pass the ball!"

"That's how you lost to Jordan back then, right! Give me a good defense, or you'll be a loser all your life! You're all rubbish! If you continue to let Nash play like this, you get out of here, this game you No need to start, you can go directly to write a retirement application, you goddamn idiot!"

Riley's yelling stunned Payton for a moment. He has almost never been yelled at by a coach in his life. He has always been yelled at by his "glove" Payton, but it is not the first time he has been yelled at. Definitely the first time in years!

If Payton is 28 years old now, he might just rush off the court and have a good chat with Riley, but now Payton is 38 years old, impulsiveness and willfulness have nothing to do with him, and now he, It was even more clear that tonight might be his only chance to win the championship!

So Peyton didn't retaliate, but nodded solemnly. Next, he will look down on Nash!

Then, Riley yelled at O'Neill: "Shaq! And you, what are you going to do after dunking blue, have you forgotten? Didn't I tell you! Remember it, and be serious!"

O'Neill also nodded, this year is also a rare opportunity for him!

He wants to prove that he is much better than Kobe!

He wants to prove that it is extremely stupid for the Lakers to choose the latter between him and Kobe!

The Heat's second offense still found O'Neal. He continued his offensive style of raising high and hitting quick shots. He pulled up directly to meet Dior, dunked with both hands again, and did not allow any Suns players who were helping to defend to double-team. Opportunity.

But this time, after the dunk, O'Neal quietly pushed Dior.

He also secretly tapped the basketball with his toes, causing the basketball to roll towards the bottom line.

Dior staggered, looked up at the referee, and found that they didn't intend to blow the whistle at all, and lowered his head to look for the basketball, but found that the basketball was kicked by O'Neal's not too light and not too heavy. When they ran over and bent over to pick up the ball, most of the Heat had completed their defense and reached the defensive position.

In addition to O'Neal still looking at Dior with a hippie smile on the bottom line and Payton and Nash entangled with each other, the Suns have no Heat players in the halfcourt

If the Suns want to play a fast break, they will definitely not be able to play.

Dior had no choice but to send the ball to Jackson, who pushed the ball across the half court.

After a series of transmissions, Lin Zhan received the basketball from outside the 3-point line at a 45-degree angle. Posey, the defensive champion who also made the starting lineup today, immediately greeted him, and his feet got stuck between Lin Zhan's legs, allowing him to He can't exert force comfortably, let alone shoot a 3-pointer directly!

Lin Zhan frowned, the Heat's defense against him has obviously changed!

Posey's close defense can prevent Lin Zhan from shooting a 3-pointer, but in the same way, this kind of close defense is almost equivalent to being defenseless against Lin Zhan's breakthrough!

Lin Zhan changed two angles in a row, pulled out his feet, and then suddenly exploded the ball to speed up, flashing past Posey!

As soon as he entered the inside line, Wade rushed over from one side and interfered with Lin Zhan's breakthrough route. Posey also caught up from behind Lin Zhan, while controlling the distance so that Lin Zhan had no chance to brake suddenly and cheat for a foul. Lin Zhan's defense is very good, they can catch up at any time, but they all give Lin Zhan a certain amount of space.

This defense does not allow you to stop and find space to handle the ball, nor does it allow you to easily kill the basket, but it is also very easy to find his flaws.

Just stop and jump!

Forcing stars to end offensive possessions with the most difficult moves to defend but also the most difficult to practice, this is the tactic that many long-established coaches like.

Among them, the most famous and favorite person to use this trick is undoubtedly Popovich.

He used a similar trick against James in the 2007 Finals, which resulted in James having the second-worst Finals performance of his entire career.

Then came the finals in 2014. Popovich repeated his old tricks, let James shoot and let him score in the middle and long range. The connection between the teams was completely severed, James won the data, and the Spurs took away the championship.

Of course, there are times when this trick fails.

In the Western Conference finals of the 07-08 season, Popovich also used this trick to deal with Kobe Bryant. He wanted to trap Kobe in the middle distance. He did not believe that Kobe could kill a series of crimes with the middle distance .

result..

Not only did Kobe do it, he also hit Bowen with his head in his arms, chasing Bowen's ass and beating him hard. In this series, Kobe fully demonstrated how exaggerated his shooting skills are, although he averaged 29 points and 53% shooting It doesn't seem to be devastating, but if you consider that he averaged no more than 2 free throws per game in the series, hardly entered the 3-second zone, and spent 70% of his time attacking in areas above the free throw line.

This series is absolutely amazing!

kobe ​​one

Personally, he threw himself into the Spurs and destroyed their entire line of defense!

If Lin Zhan had Kobe's pull-up jumper, he would definitely be able to target Riley's defense to the death, and beat Wade and Posey miserable.

But unfortunately, the special attribute shared by Lin Zhan is not backward or emergency stop, but anti-interference.

This leads to his mid-range still having obvious defects.

When the series hit this situation, Riley finally caught Lin Zhan's weakness!

In desperation, Lin Zhan did not choose to rush to shoot, but slowed down the speed of dribbling at 220. After further attracting the attention of Wade and Posey, Lin Zhan found

When it came to Jackson, who came from an empty cut, he passed the ball.

"Boom!"

Jackson failed to make a shot after receiving the ball and hit the basket. Lin Zhan rushed towards the basket as early as the moment he passed the ball, trying to grab the rebound, but the basket

O'Neill and Haslem, who were under it, also showed the concentration that they didn't have before, turned around one after another, and got stuck directly on the only way that Lin Zhan must pass!

The way they got stuck made Lin Zhan feel a little uncomfortable.

They almost gave up on the rebounds, they didn't care about the rebounds at all, and they didn't even care about whether Dior and Marion could catch the rebounds, they just blocked Lin Zhan first, and then thought about the rebounds!

This desperate, almost gambling way of grabbing the board and blocking people makes it difficult for Lin Zhan to enter the Heat's inside line.

But for this ball, Marion and Dior, who were let go, did not find the right position and opportunity, and the rebound was finally easily taken down by O'Neal.

"Lin, how arrogant you are! We have found a way to deal with you! Tonight is your death day." O'Neill turned around and looked at Lin Zhan with a grim smile.

The defense greatly increased O'Neill's confidence, and once again proved Riley's status and ability as a tactical master!

The person who can build the SHOWTIME dynasty can lead several diametrically opposed lineups in the Lakers, Knicks, and Heat, three teams with completely different styles.

But he can always keep his team in the championship sequence, the "magic operator" Riley is indeed one of the greatest head coaches in NBA history.

In the next few rounds, the Heat continued their own strategy. O’Neal’s tricks at the basket prevented the Suns from serving quickly, Payton kept pestering Nash, and Lin Zhan faced the mid-range

The trap-style defense is also a bit at a loss, and Marion has no ability to score independently. In this case, the Suns rely on Jackson's singles for more than half of their points.

to maintain.

Lin Zhan also tried a few mid-range shots under this kind of defense, but the effect was not good. He only hit one of the 3 shots, and it was difficult for Nash to continue to maintain a fast offensive rhythm.

The Suns inevitably fell into a disadvantage for a while.

Fortunately, Jackson felt good tonight. Except for the first shot that he couldn't grasp, the rest of the shots finally played a good effect. In addition, although Lin Zhan didn't go to defend O'Neal

, but the double line of defense formed by him and Marion also greatly curbed Wade's breakthrough.

In addition, for the strength and continuity of the Heat's defense, the performance of Posey and Payton on the offensive end is not as good as Walker and Williams, and they are both very old.

, and the other has no offensive skills other than catching the ball with one hand and 3 points. Therefore, although the Heat have a clear advantage, they do not lead by too many points.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Heat led the Suns by 3 points with 11:8. .
