Change is impossible. It’s only less than two rounds. Let’s not talk about whether Zhou Mubai can still attack Huanglong in the next round. Even if it can, the Heat will not be able to change it easily, and the tactical adjustments are not so easy.

Spoelstra pointed at O'Neal Jr. and shouted, "Jermaine, collect it inside!"

O'Neal was stunned and pulled it into the basket. It was nothing wrong to protect the basket, but this kind of closing was equivalent to giving up half of the basket!

Spoelstra's idea is very simple. He can't hold the middle distance at first. If O'Neal goes a little further, he can't hold the basket anymore. He might as well give up half of the basket and concentrate on guarding the basket. Zhou Mubai asked Haslem to chase and defend. O'Neal is guarding the basket, which is equivalent to destroying Chandler's attack and making Zhou Mubai unable to attack the basket.

The half-basketball is between the middle distance and the basket. In fact, this point is the same as the middle distance, and it is quite difficult to grasp. Grasp what can be defended and gives up what is difficult to defend. This is Spoelstra's defensive philosophy.

Facing Zhou Mubai, Spoelstra felt that his tactical reserves were insufficient for the first time, and he didn't know how to deal with Zhou Mubai.

In fact, this is not his problem, but all NBA coaches.

The first time a freak like Zhou Mubai appeared in NBA - this is an existence with no shortcomings in offense.

NBA players, whether they are super giants or ordinary players, have advantages and weaknesses.

Players at historical level, such as Michael Jordan, Kobe, and James, also have weaknesses.

James' breakthroughs and passes are all historically level, but there are defects in shooting that can be used. Of course, James is not bad at it, but compared with breakthroughs and passing, shooting is a shortcoming. The opponent only needs him to attack with the lowest efficiency.

Kobe is good at offense and shooting breakthroughs, but his personality and vision are not as good as James, so his opponent will make him fall into a single fight.

Even Michael Jordan was not so perfect from the beginning. Jordan was extremely sharp at the middle distance in the early stage, but three-pointers were his shortcomings after all.

Zhou Mubai's range covers the basket, half-bass, mid-range, three-pointers, and ultra-long three-pointers. His shooting percentage is consistent on both sides. He has super high reading game ability, historic top passing ability, breaking through the top level of history, that is, he can break through to the top level of history, that is, he can shoot and pass.

When dealing with such a player, you will choose a bottle of poison to take, and it depends on which bottle can make you live a little longer.

The game continues.

The Heat's use of such a defensive method is indeed to block the performance of other players, but it is too big for Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai played in the middle distance and even half a basket. He was not unavailable to shoot in the long three-pointer, but that choice was not the best way.

In half a quarter, Zhou Mubai scored 10 of 12 in the middle distance and half basket position, scoring twenty.

Haslem's defense is very oppressive. With the referee intentionally relaxing his whistle, he has a very strong defense. However, Zhou Mubai's ability to confrontation is too strong. Haslem feels that he is about to punch and kick, and Zhou Mubai can still throw the ball into the basket.

Spoelstra felt that he was about to breathe. The pressure Zhou Mubai put on him had already been reflected in his body. At this time, he only had one idea - how could a player be so strong?

Spoelstra is under great psychological pressure, but in fact the difference between points is not very big. The Knicks scored 24 points in the first half, and the Heat actually scored 18 points, which is only a 6-point difference.

But the accounts cannot be settled like this.

This result is to play in the Heat's ideal way. The Heat's tactics were executed very perfectly. Their original intention was to let Zhou Mubai shoot these difficult and inefficient balls. Zhou Mubai was indeed conscientiously playing in the way the Heat arranged for him. In this case, Zhou Mubai still played in the high efficiency.

Generally speaking, tactical failure means that there is no way to force the opponent to play in the way he arranges. The so-called cracking of the opponent's tactics mostly refers to me that I understand your tactical ideas, so I will play in the way you least want to see, so that is a cracking.

But he played according to the tactics I expected, but he was able to score. So, is the tactics a failure or success?

Spoelstra didn't know, but he knew that he would not know whether the tactical failure would be possible if he continued to play like this, but this game would definitely be a failure.

The next one is the difficult choice - whether to change the tactics?

The Filipino is proud, but his body is honest.

After a timeout, the Heat's defensive strategy changed.

After seeing the tactical changes, Zhou Mubai and D'Antoni looked at each other and smiled.

When dealing with the Knicks, who has Zhou Mubai as the absolute core of the ball, the opponent often doesn't have many choices. Either restrict Zhou Mubai or his teammates, choosing to restrict the Knicks' entire team. This is not a separate option, it is still a restriction of his teammates, because if Zhou Mubai does not attack, he will give up his defense against him.

So the Heat's defensive change was to let the center forward attack Zhou Mubai, so Chandler broke out.

Chandler's downturn could no longer be stopped. If the players on both wings retreated, the Gallinari and Kevin Martin cannons on both wings began to roar.

After the Heat changed their defensive tactics, the Knicks blossomed from one point to full bloom!

The Knicks opened fire with all their energy. At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks expanded their lead to 14 points!

The Heat fans finally understood the game when watching the game on the spot. They began to understand their players - it wasn't that they were good at it, but that their opponents were so powerful!

So they have a question - why do those bullshit experts think the Knicks are not a championship team?

During the holiday break, Van Gundy sighed: "I have praised Zhou Mubai countless times. Some people call me the first week of the commentary world. In fact, there is no need. You can remove the commentary world and directly list me as the first week of the world, because I am going to blow Zhou Mubai again.

If we remove honors, individual abilities, reputation, popularity, etc., we only judge who is the greatest player in the history of the NBA by using the dimension of [the ability to lead the team to win]. There is no doubt that that person is Zhou Mubai!
