Legendary basketball manager

As soon as the second half came up, the Heat made a huge change in offense.

Their offensive goal became extremely clear-Steph Curry!

Yes, whether it is James, Wade, or even Ray Allen, they all played extremely decisively and resolutely when facing Curry's single defense.

They were like sharks in the sea, smelling the smell of blood, they began to pursue and attack.

Curry was also a little confused.

In the previous game, although the Heat played a tight defense when he attacked.

But when it came to defense, the Heat still played normally and didn't have too many targeted offenses.

But at the beginning of the second half, Ray Allen rarely launched a post-up at the elbow and hit two points on Curry's head.

Subsequently, James replaced the defender with Curry through non-stop pick-and-rolls, and then used a tank-like breakthrough to score two more points.

At 61:57, the Heat narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

In the transition between offense and defense, Curry was still panting heavily when he was advancing with the ball.

Obviously, the defensive round just now consumed him a lot.

Sure enough, in this offensive round, Curry's very good throw missed under Ray Allen's interference.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the rebound, and gave the Rockets a chance to reorganize their offense.

In the vip box on the stand, Shen Fei frowned slightly.

Targeting Curry on the offensive end can be said to be one of the strategies commonly used by opponents when facing the Warriors in the original time and space.

Although Curry relies on his tenacious spirit and positive defensive attitude, he can deliver good single-defense results from time to time.

But after a desperate defense, Curry tends to be less efficient in the final quarter.

In a long series, he will even decline in the next few games.

From Shen Fei's point of view, Curry in the original time and space has entered the finals many times, but has not been able to win the fmvp for a long time. This is due to frequent double-teaming and physical problems.

And the opponent's targeting of him on the offensive end is definitely an important factor causing Curry's physical problems.

Now, the Heat began to "name" Curry in the second game of the series.

This happened much earlier than Shen Fei expected.

"The coach of the Heat is capable."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"You mean... he arranged for the Heat to pick Curry for this spot?"

Ajali asked.

"Well, after all, Curry is only a rookie in the second grade. He has strength but lacks experience. Now that he encounters this situation, he may panic."

"If he suffers frequently on the defensive end, the change in mentality and physical consumption may cause Curry to have problems on offense."

Shen Fei explained.

"That's the trouble...I feel like Steph is the No. [-] on the team now."

"If he is restricted, the Rockets' offense will be affected a lot."

Ajiali frowned, and said worriedly.

"It depends on whether he can handle it well."

Shen Fei murmured.

............

While the two were talking, George missed a mid-range shot and the rebound was accepted by Howard.

The Heat's offensive round.

The ball came to Wade's hands, and it was Tracy McGrady who defended him.

The Flash didn't rush to attack, but waved at Ray Allen.

Obviously, after James, Wade also wants to name Curry.

Soon, Ray Allen stepped forward to cover.

Curry took a step back, and Tracy McGrady aggressively grabbed the pick-and-roll.

The methodical defense of the two also made the Heat's first screen fail to achieve its goal.

But Wade was not in a hurry at all, and continued to direct Ray Allen to stand.

Soon, the two launched a second pick-and-roll.

This time, Wade sped up after going around the screen, heading straight for Curry.

After all, McGrady is not a defensive expert, and he cannot guarantee that every squeeze screen can pass quickly.

After being blocked by Ray Allen, he could only watch Wade rush towards Curry.

Curry quickly moved laterally to block, and successfully blocked Wade's first impact.

The Flash took two steps back, and then signaled his teammates to pull away.

At this time, the 24 seconds of attack time are running out.

After Wade looked up at the timer, he decisively launched an offensive.

I saw him dribbling the ball under his crotch to his right hand, then suddenly pressed his center of gravity to the lowest level, and accelerated to break through to the right.

Wade is extremely explosive.

Even if the speed is started on the spot, the speed can be increased to the fastest in a short time!

In just a moment, Wade rushed to Curry.

Mengshen tried his best to block, and the two rushed to the free throw line together.

At this time, Curry was already very passive.

To stay in the defensive position, his center of gravity leans forward considerably.

At this moment, Wade suddenly dribbled the ball back under his crotch, and the left hand protecting the ball was placed on Curry's back at some point.

The next moment, Wade completed the emergency stop, while Curry flew out backwards.

"woo..."

The scene was amazed, because Curry's fall almost fell from the free throw line to near the baseline.

Wade didn't rush to shoot the ball after he knocked him down. Instead, he "waited" on the spot for a while, and then shot slowly...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net.

61:59, the difference between the two sides is only two points.

Moreover, this shot that knocked the opponent down made the morale of the Heat players reach its peak.

In the defensive round, they were extremely active.

Curry, on the other hand, had mood swings after being shaken down.

Eager to get back on the field, he didn't play the ball immediately when he was picking and rolling with his teammates.

This directly led to him being pressed by Janeway's sudden high position and forced to near the sideline.

Facing a double-team, Curry's vision was completely blocked, and he fell into Rose's predicament.

"Beep!"

Soon, the whistle sounded and the referee whistled for a scrimmage.

The scrimmage is between Curry and James.

There is a huge difference in height and athletic ability between the two, and the result of the jump ball is self-evident.

Wade caught the basketball that James dialed back in the backcourt, and immediately ran towards the Rockets half with the ball.

"The situation is not good. If this goal is scored, the Heat will overtake it!"

Sun Qun said anxiously.

"The situation changed suddenly in the third quarter. The Heat's tactics at halftime were very effective!"

Yang Yi added.

............

In the Heat's offensive round, the pressure came to Curry again.

This time, it was James who challenged him.

It was still a defense change formed through a screen, and Lao Zhan began to hit Curry with his back in the middle.

Curry dismounted and struggled to withstand James' impact again and again.

But even so, he gritted his teeth and didn't let the opponent advance easily.

At this time, George dropped Wade, who was facing him, and stepped forward to help Curry defend.

Upon seeing this, James immediately passed the ball.

After Wade received the ball, there was no one in front of him.

He took a step and shot mid-range...

Come on!

61:62, the Heat overtook the score.

This is also the first time they have taken the lead since this game.

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson frowned.

He knew that the Heat would counterattack in the second half, but he didn't expect the counterattack to be so fierce!

[Hold on, Stephen...]

Mark Jackson looked at Curry on the field and thought to himself.

He had a conversation with Shen Fei before.

During the conversation, the two reached a consensus-Curry will become the absolute core of the Rockets in the next few years.

Because of this positioning and expectation, Mark Jackson had no intention of replacing Curry at this time.

Instead, he hopes Curry can find a solution and get over this difficult situation.

Because... As early as in that conversation, Shen Fei predicted the difficulties that Curry encountered today.

But Shen Fei also said at that time that Curry has the ability to solve these difficulties!
