The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

Xu Xiao saw Wade waiting on the technical table and understood the Heat's intentions. After the Heat requested a substitution, Xu Xiao also requested a substitution and replaced Yao Ming with Ibaka.

James’ mid-range pick-and-roll tactic just now, if he really wants to play, no one is more suitable than Wade. Wade’s mid-range offensive method is not a joke, so Xu Xiao made adjustments in time.

At this point in time, Wade was playing early, and Telfair was replaced, that is to say, James is now playing the No. [-] position for organization.

This rotation completely disrupted the Heat's regular rotation.

This lineup is generally the Heat's winning lineup, and this time the winning lineup in advance shows that the Heat really have no cards. What they can do now is to avoid the score being pulled apart, and then compete with the Timberwolves in physical fitness.

If nothing else, James and Wade's playing time in this game should be full.

As far as the back line of the Heat is concerned, as long as these two dare to rest for a while, the Timberwolves can blow you up immediately.

After Wade came up, the effect was also obvious. The continuous impact helped the Heat stabilize the score.

With 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the second quarter, Xu Xiao replaced Josh and replaced him with Jimmy, allowing Josh to catch his breath.

然而就是这2分钟，热火直接打出9比2的小高潮，一举反超了比分，让热火在半场结束的时候以54比51领先了3分。

"I'm sorry, my fault, I wasted the advantages everyone has worked so hard to build." Jimmy Butler kept confessing and apologizing in the locker room.

"Relax buddy, it's not your fault, you know he's LeBron, if he can be guarded by you, a rookie in the first grade, then he might as well stop winning the championship and go to the next door to use wifi."

Xu Xiao's two words eased the tense atmosphere in the locker room. After all, it was his decision to let Butler play, and he was also responsible for his decision. It's just that apart from Jimmy, he really has no pawns in his hands.

Various commentators outside the court were also commenting on the first half of the game.

espn: "James's strength is unquestionable, but Josh is also very strong. Josh's strength cannot be reflected in the statistics. You can see that after Josh is off the court, James is like a fish in water. You don't need to look at it. Josh's plus-minus value must be is the highest."

US media: "Heroism vs. Team Basketball"

Yang Yi: "Actually, I'm still optimistic about the Timberwolves. It's not that there is Dayao. We just mean that the depth of the Timberwolves lineup is not available to the Heat. Now that the Heat have broken the regular rotation, can they continue to maintain such a high intensity? Confrontation, maintaining one's own physical fitness is an unknown."

I have to say that Teacher Yang still has something.

The second half started quickly, with no changes on the Timberwolves side, and the Heat replaced Chris Duhon with Mike Miller.

Spoelstra also saw that this situation was not something that Duhon could handle, so he directly used Miller to consume Roy, the offense let James play the first position to organize, and the defense let Wade defend Westbrook.

The change did pay off, allowing the Heat to stretch the score to 9 points at one point.

After that, Josh also stood up and faced James from the mid-range. One after another, the mid-range shots helped the Timberwolves stabilize the situation.

"Have you noticed that today's game seems to be a little different from what we expected?" Weber asked Miller in the commentary.

"Indeed, before the game, we always believed that the Timberwolves and the Heat are two young teams, and they are particularly good at offensive and defensive transitions. They should play at a fast pace, but today's game made me feel as if I was watching the Spurs and Pistons. The pace is slow. If it weren't for LeBron, the audience might have turned off the TV."

"Also, the Timberwolves are the team that took the most three-pointers in the regular season, and averaged 15.8 shots per game in the playoffs. They are the team that likes and is the best at three-pointers among all teams, but today, there is almost no Every three-point shot, it’s all from the mid-range.”

As soon as Miller's words came out, many people realized that today's game was surprisingly slow-paced, and almost 24 seconds had to be played for the ball. If it weren't for the good shooting percentages of both sides, the score would not be 50 now.

This is the effect Xu Xiao wanted. I am good at playing fast, but I can also play slow, but you can't. I can use mid-range shots one by one, but what about you?

The former Thunder lost here. If the Thunder were to drop out and let Durant play ball by ball in the middle distance, and Harden would organize it, then the Thunder would not be swept by the Heat 4-1. Fighting for a game or two.

In this game, Xu Xiao also asked to take as few three-pointers as possible, and not to give the opponent a chance to counterattack with long rebounds.

The Heat's poor interior doesn't mean that he has poor interior defense. With the cooperation of James Wade and Bosh, the Heat's zone defense is also in place for the protection of the interior.

And this year with Okafor, the inside top defense has also been strengthened, so if you really hit the basket one by one, it's really not easy to hit the Heat's inside. Woke up.

But the Heat have a little problem inside, which has not been resolved until now.

That's the rebound.

A famous Japanese center Takenori Akagi once said: "The person who controls the rebound is equivalent to controlling the game."

.....

The Heat's rebounding has always been poor, and this is also related to their tactical arrangements. They like to press on the line. The overall defensive position is relatively high, and James tends to seize opportunities for fast breaks. Needless to say, Bosh is very good at rebounding. His protection has always been poor, and his overall height is not high and he can easily lose offensive rebounds.

So today the Timberwolves are almost starting from the middle distance. If they don't score, they can use the height and athletic ability of the striker to fight for rebounds.

In this way, it suppresses the rhythm of the Heat, brings you into my rhythm, and then uses my rich experience to beat you. This trick is simply too easy to use.

At the end of the three quarters, the Timberwolves regained the lead and overtook the Heat by 74 points 72 to 2.

In the fourth quarter, the Heat's physical strength obviously had problems, and their shooting percentage began to decline. Throughout the fourth quarter, James scored 7 points on 1 of 4 shots, while the Heat only scored 14 points. In 50 seconds, hit the game-killing three-pointer.

In the end, the Timberwolves also took the lead 94 to 86, taking a 1-0 lead in the series.

In the second game, the two sides did not have too many variables. The Timberwolves still used a tall center + athletic striker to suppress the Heat's rhythm.

The Heat lost 20 rebounds in the whole game, and Bosh really deserved his title of "Bosh One Rebound". There was only 1 rebound in the game. Can't stop the Timberwolves from hitting the rebound.

奥登全场拿下10分18篮板的怪兽级数据，值得一提的是，沉寂许久的罗伊这场终于爆发，三分球7中4，全场18中11，罚球8中7豪取33分5篮板6助攻的豪华数据。

Because the Heat's defensive focus in this game is all on Westbrook, Wade almost marks Westbrook all over the court, which gives Roy a lot of opportunities.

The Timberwolves are also in the next game with 103 to 99.

"Although the old thief Bobo is not a good guy, there is absolutely nothing to say in terms of tactics." Xu Xiao looked at his teaching assistants with a proud face after the game, accepting their admiration.

Xu Xiao clearly remembered how Popovich dealt with Heat James in his previous life.

In 13, although he lost to Ray Allen's three-pointer, in fact, there was a problem with the tactical arrangement that year. Popovich suddenly changed to play a major and a junior, and let Xiaoka play the fourth position. Put Ginobili in the starting lineup.

Although you can keep up with the speed of the Heat by doing this, you will lose your own rhythm and advantage. Once you are not playing well, it is normal for the Heat to lose more than 30 points. Once you are playing smoothly, it is normal to win more than 30 points. of.

Giving up his inside height, this point, whether it is Bosh's last life-saving rebound or the 14-year championship, has proved this for the Spurs.

Playing against the Heat, rebounding is definitely the key, and how to take advantage of rebounding is also the key.

It is most correct to suppress the Heat's offensive rhythm, let James go ball by ball in the positional battle, and let him shoot.

This is why James hit his career-high shooting percentage in 14, but he still couldn't escape the bad luck of being swept by a gentleman.

In the final analysis, James is not a player like Kobe. Compared with Kobe, he represents reasonableness, all choices are reasonable, has his own exclusive system, and is very effective and fast.

However, your rationality is also within the tactical theory, and within the tactical theory there is a way to counter it. At this time, a breaker like Kobe is needed to put the ball in in the most unreasonable way.

James is not such a person, so there must be a one-on-one master next to James, Wade during the Heat, and Irving during the Cavaliers.

"So in the next game, Wade will be another focus of our attention."
