Division Final Game2

Before the game started, Miami Heat's godfather Pat Riley sent a text message to the whole team: "The strength of the wolf pack lies in every wolf, and the strength of each wolf lies in the wolf pack behind it."

This is the award-winning speech of a Nobel Prize winner in literature.

Chicken soup is not common in the NBA. Those coaches who don’t have real people in their stomachs and can only mobilize the enthusiasm of players are all good at filling chicken soup.

But Pat Riley never cared about this.

Now that doing this is a bit of learning from Phil Jackson. Jackson's triangular offense is famous all over the world, but his psychological construction and spiritual tempering of players on and off the court are commendable.

Due to excessive emphasis on the creation of stadium discipline, Riley, as a coach, experienced two rebellions. The third time he came out at the Heat, was also the rapid retreat after the team lost its potential for championships, and did not continue to oppress the players in the team, which did not lead to the third appearance.

He suddenly learned to learn from Zen master, which shows that there is indeed a problem within the Heat.

He was tortured by the 76ers for four consecutive games. As the defending champion, no matter what, the psychological pressure is huge.

In the second game, the Heat's starting lineup changed.

The original regular starter Rashad Lewis went to the substitute, and the person who replaced him was Greg Oden.

Before, Oden has been playing as the team's mascot, and he played very few games and less time because he was too crisp and his style of play did not match Jen Wai.

The Heat's strategy has been clear from the beginning. They want to play old-school basketball, and they use conservative strategies to defend the pick-and-roll. Oden and Bosh are guarding the penalty area to protect the basket, and around the cover and chase the ball holder, defensively refine the key players.

The 76ers' approach is also the same, allowing Wei Xia to defend LeBron. If James calls for pick-and-roll, he will use Wei Xia's push-down ability and Farid's amazing mobility to use the double-player online delays, forcing the emperor to shoot the ball, and prevent him from using the pick-and-roll to lead his teammates.

Moreover, the Heat actually encouraged 76ers to fight one by one, allowing Wei Xia to use a single block to cover the single challenge, or Cousins ​​will play Oden alone in the whereabouts, and resolutely not to attack, thus achieving the effect of consuming 76ers with dual cores inside and outside.

As for changing the formation, Oden's value is underestimated.

Although Oden's personal ability is far inferior to Cousins, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. He still has outstanding physical talent and his athletic ability has been severely damaged. He can still tie Cousins. The Heat confidently sent Oden to defend Cousins ​​alone.

Cousins ​​was not very lucky and felt bad, and he had no achievements in three consecutive rounds against Oden.

Oden dreamed of returning to the national finals of that year, and gave him hot pot one after another, fell to the ground and rushed to entertain Cousins. The Heat used Oden's successful defensive push to counterattack, James changed to rush forward, and joined forces with Ray Allen to chase three points. Once he fell into the positional battle, James and Bosh picked and rolled up.

After half a quarter, James scored 2 points and 3 assists to sort out the positional battle, and suddenly responded to Ray Allen and Bosh in the bottom corner to break up the mid-range shot, using points to lead the surface, dismembering the 76ers' defense line.

Next, Wei Xia scored consecutively in-person scores, smoothing out the gap.

Jay Wright boldly set up a four-guard lineup, and no longer let Hayward play power forward. Hayward plays small forward on the court, with Farid on the fourth position, and No. 5 position... It's Hayers!

This lineup that is so awkward that fans call it outrageous has some obvious advantages: it can play unlimited defense replacements, and the counterattack speed is fast to grandma's house. The rotation defense speed is amazing, and its athletic ability is outstanding.

There are also disadvantages. The rebounds are not well protected, and they are afraid that the opponent's big center will dominate the penalty area.

At this time, Rajon Rondo began to control the ball and lead the people away. His organizational ability was comparable to any pure point guard. He threw high and empty, and Wei Xia understood it. He also played pick-and-roll with Hayward to create a small misalignment, assisting Farid to attack the basket was a masterpiece; he was sharp and long passes across the court and penetrated the defense line, Wei Xia made a single touchdown - the 76ers four-guard system, and the whole nation was a soldier, hitting the Heat's weakness.

The Heat never expected that the 76ers would make this move and suddenly lost their composure and were overtaken by 4 points after the quarter.

In the next quarter, Holiday changed the formation again.

The four defenders have changed from Rondo to Nash. In addition, Wei Xia has gone off the court and Cousins ​​has become the only big man in the system. The other three positions are Hayward, Farid and Robertson.

Strictly speaking, this is a lineup of one defender, three wings and one inside.

The four-guard system was originally four small and one big, but Wright made a scalpel-like adjustment to the lineup and became four large and one small.

The Heat were beaten to a very bad 4-guard system of 76ers. Seeing that the main controller was Nash, he bullied him in his old age and simply and roughly used two-man attacks to curb Nash's outside organization.

Their approach is too contempt for the two former MVPs, and the point guard position is the most anti-age position. As long as your brain is not infiltrated, your skills are still there, and your body is degraded, their experience and leadership can benefit your teammates.

Nash has a clear idea and uses the pinch to expand the area and play less. His shots have linked Hayward and Farid. Hayward also has the ability to pass the ball. His cooperation with Nash helps Farid and Robertson, two monsters who have no other valuable strengths except their bodies, cut the basket continuously.

Wei Xia sat off the court and saw the Heat being defeated by their second formation.

James, who had just had a few minutes of rest, had to come up to stabilize the situation.

"It's not easy for him, either." Weaver smiled.

Rondo said coldly: "No matter how strong the lineup is, it will encounter aging and injury. Only by overcoming these difficulties can you achieve the ultimate victory."

Rondo is right, this is also an important indicator for Wei Xia to judge whether a team is sufficient for the "dynasty" standard.

What is a dynasty team? In addition to official certification, there is also Jackson’s so-called three-game winning streak. For Wei Xia, his game winning streak is not an official, not a three-game winning streak, but maintaining the top competitiveness for 4-5 years, winning half of the championship, and still maintaining the dignity and nobility of defending the champion in the end of the dynasty until the second before losing.

The ones that need to be bloody are needed.

Some champions are still champions before they fall, while others, just like today's Heat, were slaughtered by 76ers in four consecutive games. Does anyone think they are champions? Is the title of defending champion scary?

The loss was too undecent, and it was really hard to call them dynasty teams.

During the five minutes of Wei Xia's rest in the second quarter, Nash not only stimulated Hayward's potential, but also stimulated Hayward's potential. The 76ers' 41 system left the Heat helpless. Cousins ​​and Farid played the screening wall, and Hayward served as the ball holder. Whether it was just one-on-one, the pick-and-roll inside the inside, the pick-and-roll dunk, or the steal counterattack to help Fared Farid connect one after another. The fourth-grade Hayward is benefiting the 76ers' team with amazing defense, organization and creativity. He is the precious asset of the 76ers.

Wei Xia's light has always covered his teammates.

Cousins' rise made Hayward lose his presence.

Everyone sees Wei Xia won the scoring champion for four consecutive years, Cousins ​​has gradually grown from a questioned child to the league's number one center. Who has paid attention to Hayward's average score from 10 to 14 and then 17 for four consecutive seasons, until he was selected as the All-Star 20 points.

Some people say that Wei Xia "learns" the passing this year, so the 76ers have transformed into a championship team. In fact, if Hayward does not make significant progress, who will digest the ball rights that Wei Xia gives up?

Therefore, sometimes not the scoring kings like to rank first in the scoring list. If teammates do not reach that intensity, then naturally those who are capable will work harder.

As for Jordan's bad behavior of sacrificing the ball rights to accelerate growth, while giving up a lot of ball-holding time, becoming the fatal end point in history, while maintaining the level of defense for years, and winning the championship, while using his spare energy to monopolize the scoring champion. Looking at the past and present, this example cannot be counted in real terms.

When Wei Xia returned to the game, the 76ers led the Heat by 13 points.

There was no pressure, and his appearance made the 76ers' 41 system more dangerous changes.

Hayward went to play power forward, Farid was replaced, and Wei Xia played small forward. What would happen if there were two players on the court who could start tactics from the outside?

That's it. Director Lu told us that if there is a guy on the opposite side who can kill you by holding a ball and calling a pick-and-roll, then you'd better get him to death before he wants you to die. If there are two such guys on the other side, you can still get these two guys to death at the cost of emptying the opponent's shooter.

So, what if it were three people?

"Rajon, let's take a break."

Seeing Rondo eager to try, Wright let him sit down with a soft voice.

Yes, the current lineup is not the strongest period for the system.

If the 76ers replace Rondo and Robertson comes down, then the five people on the field will be Rondo, Nash, Weisha, Hayward, and Cousins.

This is a terrible system that has five ball holding points, four core ball holding points on the outside, and except for Rondo, the other three outside ball holding points can open up space.

Wright also knows the principle that killing chickens does not require slaughtering a ox.

So he asked Rondo to rest, and the best way to save this trump card to the finals.

Not only the Sixers are improving, Jay Wright's coaching ability has also improved rapidly after entering the NBA.

His coaching philosophy is not that suitable in the NCAA. In the NBA, there is no defense for three seconds, allowing joint defense, but because the center cannot stand at the basket, the joint defense seems to have been castrated. With a series of rules that encourage offense and the number of cards available in his hand has increased significantly compared to the past, he began to boldly put his former ideas into practice.

The four-guard system is just one of his hand. The 41 system that beat the Heat tonight is another hand.

Even before the power of this hand was maximized, the Heat was over.

The 76ers beat the Heat 30 points in the first half, and 10 players were rotated in the first half, and all players who played scored.

Although LeBron James said that the NBA is where miracles happen and they will do their best to make the miracle of a big reversal appear in the second half, the rational fans are clear.
Chapter completed!
