Coach Spoelstra does not intend to use Doug Laimbeer.
When the Heat signed him, it was only because Adebayor was injured that the Heat signed him to a 10-day short contract.
Later, Adebayor returned from injury. Originally, the Heat no longer needed him.
After all, the Heat still have a 2.13 meter backup center Dedmon standing there;
There is also a third center Ermel who is 2.10 meters tall.
Doug Laimbeer can only be regarded as the fourth center.
Only 2.08 meters, not as tall as others, not as fast as others, and not as high as others in jumping.
Naturally, there is no chance of appearing.
However, because the playoffs are approaching, the Heat want to prevent Adebayor from getting injured again.
In the end, he signed an extension with Doug Laimbeer until the end of the season.
To put it bluntly, he will only have the opportunity to come on as a substitute when both the first center and the second center are unable to play.
So Coach Spoelstra will naturally not take him into consideration.
When the coaching staff was discussing this, they were in the Heat's training facility.
All players are undergoing defensive training.
The focus of their training is how to defend Wang Yi.
But this training really gave the Heat players a headache.
For ordinary players, you only need to defend from the center line to the basket.
More often than not, you just need to defend the three-point line to the basket.
This was good for Wang Yi, who forced the Heat to extend their defensive front to the entire court.
28 meters in length.
How on earth should we defend such a long front?
This is a problem the Heat have never faced before.
It is also a problem that has never been encountered in the entire history of world basketball.
It is naturally impossible for the Heat to solve the problem immediately.
Butler and Lowry are thinking through solutions as comprehensively as possible.
But it's obvious that none of the solutions they imagined before are perfect.
In the entire team, only one person did not participate in the discussion of defending Wang Yi.
That's Bill Laimbeer's son: Doug Laimbeer.
At this time, he was training his upper body strength in the weight room.
He was doing bench press training with the help of a personal trainer next to him.
Generally players like him are at the bottom of the NBA pyramid.
It's basically impossible to afford a personal trainer.
But Doug Laimbeer is not short of money at all.
If he wants, it won't be a problem to hire 100 personal trainers to play with him.
His appearance inherited the viciousness of Bill Laimbeer.
It is estimated that the children will be frightened and cry when they see it.
Because of this appearance, he almost never talked about girlfriends in high school, and the only two girls he had were all for his money.
No other students like to associate with a guy like him.
But he has become a favorite of the team.
It was precisely because of him guarding the basket that his St. Mary's High School won the state championship that year.
At this time, there was no disappointment in his eyes that he had not been able to appreciate his talent.
Only perseverance.
Bill Laimbeer's rock solid character was passed down to him.
Bill told him: "Don't worry about the things in front of you. As long as you train hard and be ready to play at any time. Then when the opportunity comes, you will be the most dazzling star on the field. Even if you cannot become the most dazzling star,
Stars, you will also be a disaster for those stars."
So after coming to the Heat, even though I haven't been able to play.
But Doug Laimbeer has been training hard.
Stay in shape and stay in shape.
Then wait silently for the opportunity.
Originally, he could have been a rich third generation and just rested on his money and enjoyed it.
But he didn't.
He trains harder than most other players.
Now that he has come to the finals, he is training even harder.
What keeps him going is Wang Yi of the Kings.
This finals is his best opportunity.
As long as the coach lets him play, even if it's just for one minute.
He can freeze the opposing Kings' ace.
He will make Wang Yi fear him and make Wang Yi lose the desire to lay up when he sees him.
Wang Yi shivered when he saw him.
His father may not be able to adapt to this era, and may not be able to use his fists due to too many rules and restrictions, but he has studied the rules of this era extremely thoroughly.
Although there are fewer loopholes in the rules now, they are not absent.
And he is very good at catching loopholes in these rules.
They say James Harden is the man who wakes up at 4 a.m. to memorize the rules.
But that was just a joke, no one knew that he really got up at 4 a.m. to memorize the rules.
So he just needs a chance now.
…
Two days later, June 4th.
G2 of the finals begins.
In this game, the Heat consistently implemented Wang Yi's strategy of preventing death.
They can let the Kings take three-pointers against other players, but they are determined not to let Wang Yi take action.
Such a strategy really limits Wang Yi's scoring.
Limiting Wang Yi's score to less than 60 points.
But other Kings players got more open shots.
As long as the Kings players have a wide open space, their three-pointers are still very accurate.
Therefore, Wang Yi's assists increased steadily in this game.
Since Wang Yi still has the finals offensive buff, all offensive attributes are increased by 20%.
So as long as he is willing, he can still easily get rid of the Heat's double-team of two or even three people, and then catch the ball and shoot successfully.
When he did all this, Coach Spoelstra off the court could only shake his head helplessly, and Butler on the court could only shake his head secretly.
Although he is tough, toughness seems worthless in the face of absolute strength.
As for the Heat's Doug Lambert, who was sitting off the court, his eyes almost never left Wang Yi throughout the game.
He has been firmly locked on Wang Yi.
Chance.
He just wants a chance.
It's just that Heat coach Spoelstra didn't give him this opportunity.
As a result, Wang Yi scored 55 points, 10 rebounds, 16 assists, 6 blocks and 5 steals in this game.
Another performance that shocked the world.
The number of viewers in the United States exceeded 10 million from the very beginning.
By halftime, the crowd had reached 17 million.
This once again made Xiao Huale grin from ear to ear.
Under the leadership of Wang Yi, the Kings defeated the Heat with a 127:101, 26-point advantage.
This once again surprised fans all over the world.
The media and experts who had previously predicted that the Kings had less than a 20% chance of advancing were all dumbfounded at this moment.
They previously predicted that the first two games would be 2:0.
The score was correct, but they guessed the beginning but not the ending.
All those trolls who criticized Wang Yi before were severely slapped in the face again.
In interviews after the game, reporters asked Heat players: "You restricted Wang Yi very well in this game, allowing him to only score 55 points, 26 points less than the previous game. How did you do it?"
Every one of the Heat players had the urge to hack this reporter to death.
Listen, are they human words?
What does it mean to only score 55 points?
It also restricted Wang Yi very well.
Chapter completed!
