The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"The flanking attack on the other side is too fast." Wade said panting.

Sipo still couldn't see any expression on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.

"Damn it, is the opponent cheating? Why did the good defensive tactics in the first two games suddenly go away, and suddenly started double-teaming Wade, and they are too fucking accurate."

Xu Xiao predicted Spoelstra's change of formation, and Spoelstra boldly used Norris Cole in this game for this purpose.

Cole is the most accurate basket among these people. He can completely open up the space, and it is still the James system.

It's just that planb is used this time.

James is on one side and Wade is on the other. When James has no chance, he will immediately distribute the ball to Wade, and Wade's singles or James' inside will complete the attack.

But Xu Xiao decisively used the strategy of shrinking defense + free throw line pinching in this game. Because James and Wade at the top of the arc are not good at the basket, the Timberwolves' upline defenders came up and pinched very decisively.

Let Cole stand in the middle, and there is no room for breakthrough.

"The only way now is to let James go near the bottom corner, let Wade and Cole stand on the upper line, so that their tactic can be played, but this will greatly reduce the power of James, and doing so is equivalent to letting James delegate power. It should be difficult for James in this period to accept the team handed over to Wade."

Xu Xiao was thinking about his own wishful thinking in his heart.

At this time, Sipo called a timeout. Xu Xiao guessed that Sipo should change his offensive strategy, and his defensive strategy should be fine, so let's arrange the offensive tactics. After all, the few attacks just now were a bit reluctant.

The Heat's bench on the other side.

"LeBron tell me, what are you willing to give for victory?" Spoelstra looked at James seriously.

"Want to give everything."

"Does it include the status of the team and the influence of public opinion?" Spoelstra asked again.

James was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized what Spoelstra wanted to say, and looked at his old friend Wade. At this time, James also had some hesitation in his heart.After all, he once flaunted Jordan and Kobe. He knew that he had chosen to team up, and his public opinion had fallen into a trough. If he could not win the championship as the team leader, the voice of doubt would only grow louder.

But he is also a smart person. He can also see that the situation in front of him seems to be beyond his ability. He has never faced the Timberwolves squarely. Then catch up with Jordan Kobe.

"weareteam." Wade patted James on the shoulder and said.

Then James looked at Spoelstra and said again: "I am willing to give everything, as long as I can win, everything is worth it."

"Okay, then let's fight like this." Sipo quickly arranged tactics.

The timeout ended quickly, and the Heat didn't choose to make a substitution, which surprised Xu Xiao. He thought that Miller would be replaced at the end of the round, or Okafor would be replaced to open up space for the offense.

The Heat attacked, and James really went to the bottom corner of the wing. After receiving the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, he went straight to the baseline, and the ball was returned to Wade.

But this time Bosh came up to cover for Wade.

After the screen, Wade took the ball and went directly to the basket. Although Bosh was thin, the quality of the pick-and-roll was very good.

At this time, the Timberwolves' defensive formation was not formed. Westbrook chased Wade behind him. Ibaka, who was marking Bosh, did not follow out at the first time but chose to defend Wade.

Wade directly gave the ball to Bosh. At this time, Bosh was threatened by three-pointers, but Xu Xiao knew that Bosh's three-pointers in this period were not his conventional weapon. Bosh was the three-pointer in the last two seasons of his career. The output and hit rate only come up.

"Don't be fooled, he won't shoot." Xu Xiao yelled anxiously from the sidelines, but Ibaka had already stepped up. The inexperienced Ibaka was directly thrown by Bosh, who dribbled a step and hit the ball. Steady hit from the free throw line.

"Keep quiet and don't affect the players on the field." Xu Xiao stood up and shouted just now, but was warned by the referee.

At this time, Xu Xiao felt a little bad. If James despised the Timberwolves team, then Xu Xiao despised Bosh, the "true giant".

It was only at this time that Xu Xiao realized that in his previous life, it was because of Bosh's sacrifices in ball possession and tactical status, but it didn't mean that he was weak. It was difficult for a young player like Ibaka to limit Bosh.

"Wade also feinted just now, and the core of the Heat's tactics will be Bosh. We really have no countermeasures for this, and we can only watch on the spot." Xu Xiao reminded himself and also reminded his assistant team.

Sure enough, in the next round, the Heat began to use Bosh as the core and launched a tactic. Wade and Bosh picked and rolled. In response to Bosh, this time Bosh directly chose to hit the basket and hit the ball very hard against the defense. middle.

Afterwards, Wade continued to pick and roll at high positions. This time, the Timberwolves' defensive focus was entirely on Bosh. The defensive formation was obviously scattered, allowing Wade to see the opportunity and hit a light throw.

25 to 19, the point difference came to 6 points, and the Timberwolves immediately called a timeout.

"Look, we're going to do more rotation at the free throw line now, never mind Bosh's [-]s, he's faked most of the time from the [-], we're going to defend the pick-and-roll like before, the pick-and-roll from the [-]-point line Go around, pick and roll at the free throw line, don't rush to pinch the zone before three seconds, make up defense from behind, and don't lose the rebound position.

There is also offense, we still have to resolutely attack the opponent's No. [-] position, Russell, make more impact, as long as it is not LeBron's defense, we can attack directly. "

The pause time was very short, so Xu Xiao could only assign tasks quickly.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves' offense improved. The cooperation between Westbrook and Roy helped the Timberwolves bite the score, but soon the Heat found a new way to attack.

Bosh still catches the ball in the middle distance, and this time he supports him and lets James go to cut.

James made two air cuts, one dunk on Josh, and one assist to Okafor at the basket.

The Timberwolves also responded immediately. In this game, Xu Xiao asked Roy and Oden to play pick-and-rolls, giving up their most commonly used combination of Josh and Westbrook. They just wanted to avoid the two strongest defensive points on the opposite side, Wade. with James.

Xu Xiao is not a stubborn head coach either. He knows that the playoffs are a stage to test superstars, but it is also a stage to test the overall strength of the coach and the team.

Now that I know your weakness, I will take advantage of your illness to kill you.

In the first half of the game, the Heat played a miraculous effect in the way they were least good at and scored 58 points in the half. Among them, Bosh scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists alone.

The Timberwolves also played on the spot, changing their established routine and scoring 51 points, Roy 15 points, Oden also had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

In short, both sides played the effect.

In the second half of the game, the Heat took the lead in attacking, and Bosh came to the front, but this time it was replaced by James to play a pick-and-roll with Bosh.

"It's probably what James said during the midfield. In the first half, James was used as the team's youngest. This is hard for James to accept."

So in the second half, James replaced Wade. As the ball handler, Wade stood in the position before James, ready to cut at any time.

Wade's air-cut awareness is definitely not worse than James's, or even worse.

Compared with James holding the ball, he has a wider vision and stronger organizational skills, but there is one thing he can't compare to Wade, and that is his offensive means in the middle distance.

This is what really scares the Timberwolves.

Because the Timberwolves need a center to support their system, their two centers, whether it is Oden or Yao Ming, are difficult to guard against, so they either have a big delay in getting to the line, or they are shrinking inside.

So the mid-range side must be empty. Spoelstra knew this, so in the first half he always used Wade, who has a stronger mid-range scoring method, to hold the ball.

But if James was replaced in the second half, the fear of the Timberwolves would no longer exist, and the two major centers could shrink inside with peace of mind.

Although James has a good shooting percentage, there is still the problem Xu Xiao mentioned, that is, he is too reasonable.

He knew that the efficiency of attacking the inside line was low. After Xu Xiao used the absolute fair card, he also found that the referee's whistle became looser. Not only would the shooting rate not be high when attacking the inside line guarded by Oden or Yao Ming, but it was also difficult to win free throws.

So he chose to use himself to attract the defense to create opportunities for his teammates.

For this reason, Spoel had no choice but to replace Okafor and Hawes.In this way, the two insiders have three-point capabilities, which can completely open up space for James.

But the Timberwolves don't like you at all, and Josh alone is enough to mop up.

However, the replacement of Hawes led to the complete collapse of the Heat's inside defense. Oden overwhelmed the Heat's inside defense, easily scoring 3 points, 7 rebounds and a big hot pot in less than 4 minutes.

Let the Timberwolves catch up with the Heat immediately.

"Brother, you should be more decisive."

James scored the ball to Bosh, but the latter didn't make a timely shot. A hesitation was directly cut off by Josh when he broke through. Roy launched a fast break alone and made an easy layup to tie the score at 66.

Bosh knew that it was his own problem just now, so he didn't dare to talk back, so he vented his anger to the rookie Cole.

"Why didn't you just come forward and catch the ball around the screen? You don't follow that headless fly"

I thought that a first-year rookie like Cole would accept the criticism honestly and take the blame, but I never thought that Cole would directly stand up and start confronting Bosh.

"How do I come up to cover? Can you make a good screen? Your hand-to-hand hand-to-hand is really bad, and are you short-sighted? Can't see the game time? You are wide open, but you still want to find someone to take the blame, I'm sorry, I don't take this blame."

Cole was neither humble nor overbearing, and his voice was loud, which attracted the attention of many people around him. This made Bosh feel very shameless, so he immediately responded.

The quarrel between the two quickly attracted the attention of many people around them.

"Look at the coach, there's an argument over there."

Even the Timberwolves' bench took note of the brawling here.

"Then, are we safe?" Oden saw the quarrel on the other side, and applauded while watching the excitement without thinking it was a big deal.

The Heat didn't have time to pay attention to the opposite side. Now the first problem is to dare to pick them up and pull them away. They played like this at their home court, and the fans can't accept it. It's too shameful for such a thing to happen.

After this episode, the Heat's mentality has undergone some changes. Although the score has not been opened, the team obviously lost the momentum to start the game.

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves decisively set up a "James trap" defense.

It is to shrink and protect the paint area, not to give outside space, especially to block James' passing line, so that James can play casually in the middle distance.

Originally, there was a problem with the Heat's rotation. Others' physical fitness and shooting percentage dropped. Coupled with Josh's trash talk, they have been provoking James, saying that he is not only inferior to Jordan Kobe, but even he is inferior to Josh. .

James is still really good, and he fought Josh in the mid-range, but his mid-range is not as accurate as Josh (Paul).

After wasting two or three opportunities, the Timberwolves allowed the Timberwolves to overtake and open the score.

"3 to 0"
