Chapter 603
At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Heat by 26 points at 22:4.
Section 2 started soon.The two sides sent their respective second teams to play!
The Heat established a fixed routine of "James + shooter" in the finals of last season, so they would rather not have a center, but also maximize the offensive space of the court.As for the inside defense, as long as you are not black and white bears to hit me, relying on Arthur and Ed Davis to play the president or James one-on-one in the low post, it really doesn't necessarily make the opponent pay any price.
With rules like the 3-second zone and the 5-second post up, the league has become less and less friendly offensively to big men inside.So now those big men who stand up and play post-up singles start to be abandoned by some teams once they move too slowly on the defensive end.More and more power forwards are playing centers, and those insiders with shooting ability are transformed into space-type insiders, opening up offensive space for outside teammates to break through with the ball.
In the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies took the lead in attacking.
As the point guard of the second team, Xie Kai slowly dribbled the ball across half court.Since he entered this Grizzlies team, he has not actually played too many point guards in official games.But in these few games where he played the role of point guard, he played very well.His excellent overall view and passing ability make him very suitable for this role.
Yu Jia said: "Director Zhang, Coach Dave Jogel has asked Xie Kai to be the point guard for the second team. What do you think?"
Director Zhang cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "I remember that he played point guard before, and he performed very well! He could have played point guard. Before Arenas was on the court, he often just dribbled across the half court. , I handed the ball to him. So it depends on the effect, the key is whether it is reasonable or not, it seems quite reasonable for the time being!"
Under the disgusting eyes of the away fans, Xie Kai slowly dribbled the ball across the half.
The defense opened is the Heat's small guard Norris Cole.
Norris Cole graduated from Cleveland State University and was selected by the Bulls with the 2011th overall pick in the first round of the 28 draft.Later, through a trade, he came to the Heat.
Norris Cole has many common characteristics of late first-round rookies-average physical talent and mediocre skills.He has similar characteristics to those of many non-top small guards in the United States: fast, tiger, sometimes iron, and no unique skills.
In this league, if you want to survive, if you are not a star player, it is better for an average role player to have a unique skill. Of course, the more the better.For example, Korver, who is in very average physical condition, is perfect for 3-pointers.
Like Norris Cole, who seems to be quite versatile, but he has nothing special to do. As a role player, he may not be better than that kind of "one-trick" person.After all, generally speaking, the ball will be with the core players. As a point guard, you don't have the ball. If you have no ball ability and defense, it will be very difficult to survive.
Norris Cole is 188cm tall and weighs about 80kg. There is a clear difference in size between Norris Cole and Xie Kai.However, he is different from those wings in that he is very fast and can keep up with Xie Kai's speed.
The two entered the league at different times, but Xie Kai in the 08 class is still a few months younger than Norris Cole in the 11th class!
Arthur came out to cover, and Norris Cole and the president immediately flanked and thanked him!
Xie drove the ball very quickly, and when it was given to Arthur, the Heat's rotation was also very fast. Before Arthur could attack the frame, the defensive players were in place.
"The rotation is so fast!" Yu Jia exclaimed.
Director Zhang smiled and said: "This is the terrible thing about the Heat's defense. It seems that there are no big men under the basket, but they are fast and have strong defensive pressure on the outside!"
On the Grizzlies side, Ellington made an outside shot - crooked!
James accepted the rebound and pushed the conversion directly from the backcourt!
Arthur destroyed the ball with a tactical foul!
Still the Heat have the ball.
The Heat continue to attack!
In the frontcourt, James played Pondexett with his back, but the Grizzlies did not attack in advance.When he turned around and wiped it in, Ed Davis came to flank him when he reached a deep position!
At this time, James split the ball again, and the Grizzlies began to cut off the passing route. Although the ball was not broken, the Heat's chances from the outside line could not come out!
Norris Cole punched Ellington and was interfered by Arthur for a layup-also missed!
Ed Davis grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.
Xie Kai pushed forward and made a strong breakthrough by himself, especially Ellington from the outside!
Ellington points again to Ponteset at the top of the arc!
James, who was assisting in the defense, didn't even pounce fiercely, his eyes seemed to say: "If you have the ability, shoot me to death!"
Pondexett seemed to be stimulated, and shot a 3-pointer-the result was too powerful and almost missed the rebound!
Fortunately, Arthur grabbed the offensive rebound, and when he came down, Ray Allen took it out, foul!
Director Zhang said emphatically: "One of the shortcomings of the Heat's small lineup is the backcourt rebounds. Without big men, no matter how good James is, he can't do everything."
Yu Jia said: "The Grizzlies don't seem to be eager to flank James. They are more inclined to control outside shooters, and they will only flank James unless James is at the basket!"
Director Zhang said: "There is no way for this. Once James is flanked in advance, with his passing ability, the outside shooter will have a chance to make the first 3-pointer. This is too dangerous."
The two teams played their own games, and until the official timeout, they played back and forth, but with little effect.
The reason why the Heat are playing uncomfortable is because James did not attract enough double-teams, and his desire to attack today does not seem to be very strong, so the team's second lineup "one star and four shots" is powerful. On the Grizzlies side, because the opponent pinched Xie Kai and the other players were poor in grasping, the offense also stumbled, and there were no hits.
After the timeout ended, the main players of both sides began to slowly return.The finals are different from the regular season, and the two sides must be the main players.The black and white bears didn't play that much in the regular season, and their playing time will definitely increase in the playoffs.
After the return of the Bears, the Grizzlies began to become a half-court offensive team again.The offensive tempo changed from a value of almost 95 to 65, as if the slow-motion button was pressed.
The two bears who have accumulated energy off the field will do it when they come up, especially the black bears, who can get whatever they want.Facing President Shane Battier who was defending him, he had already completed the attack before the opponent's flanking attack came up.And even if the opponent's pincer attack came up, sometimes two people might not be able to get him down, and he killed the opponent very well.
The Heat had no choice but to replace the veteran Haslem and fight the Black Bears.It is impossible for them to let Bo Yiban go to the top. After all, he is also one of the "Big Three", and he can't stay on the court if he is killed.
