Chapter 391 Crazy Play

"ball."

Kyle Anderson took the ball at the top of the arc and gestured to his teammates. The teammates stepped forward to pick and roll. Kyle Anderson took the opportunity to shake off Meng Yun, quickly rushed to the inside, swayed the defender with a European step, and scored a layup.

But before Kyle Anderson could celebrate the Heat's counterattack, Tries served from the bottom line, Meng Yun took the ball and advanced quickly, and Joseph Young, Johnson, and Whittington even ran away when the ball was scored just now. Half court to the Spurs, when the ball was delivered, all three had passed the center line.

Meng Yun glanced at the front court, pushed hard with both hands, and the basketball passed half the court and was sent to Johnson, who had already reached the left three-point line.

Seeing Johnson receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line, the Spurs players were taken aback and immediately rushed forward. Johnson passed the ball to Whittington in the middle, and Whittington did not stop and assigned it to the right.

Right, beyond the three-point line.

Joseph Young took the ball and made a three-pointer.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the Heat overtook the score.

Shocking cheers sounded from the auditorium, and Heat fans shouted excitedly.

On the sidelines, Becky Harmon stood up abruptly and immediately called a timeout.

"You see?" Popovich said.

"Yeah." Becky Harmon nodded subconsciously, and then realized, "You have long seen that the Heat are trying to disrupt our rhythm and speed up the game, right?"

Popovich nodded and said: "I can see it, but I'm just a spectator now, and you are the coach of the team. Becky, do it according to your own ideas, don't think about me."

Becky Harmon was startled: "I see."

The Spurs players came off the field, and Becky Harmon spread out the tactical board: "The opponent is deliberately speeding up the tempo so that we can follow their tempo. We can't let them do what they want. We will slow down the tempo later. It is possible to play positional warfare. We have to compete for rebounds, especially offensive rebounds. If the opponent cannot get the rebound, he will not be able to launch a quick counterattack. In addition, even if the opponent gets the rebound, he must pounce on it and keep the rhythm Squeeze it."

"Yes." The Spurs players responded in unison.

Here, McAdoo frowned. It was unexpected that the other party called a timeout so quickly, which proved that the other party had seen his intentions and would definitely respond.

So, what should I do?
"There is not much time left in the first quarter." McAdoo glanced at the timer, his eyes swept over the players, and finally stopped on Meng Yun, showing a slight smile, and said: "Come here, let me tell you something. "

Soon, the pause is over.

When the two sides returned to the court, the Spurs' offense was still unhurried and very patient. They were always able to wait patiently for opportunities to appear, and once opportunities appeared, they were extra decisive.

With a bang, the Spurs scored and the two sides tied.

Meng Yun took the ball from the bottom line, and when he looked up, the Spurs had completely retreated and set up a defense line.

"The Spurs' defense is indeed excellent, but we don't play with you like this." Meng Yun chuckled, came to the frontcourt, and gestured to his teammates. Trice came up to pick and roll, Meng Yun took a step to the side, Throwing away the defender, Meng Yun saw that the Spurs players had already covered the defense, Meng Yun retreated and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

"what?"

"Is this the vote?"

"It's too urgent, I can't get in."

In the auditorium, the fans were shocked.

Some people shook their heads, thinking that the ball could not be scored, they were too anxious, and they were simply messing around, but before they could finish their words, there was a soft swish, and the basketball hit the net and made a hollow hit.

The fans were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

"Huh?" Popovich raised his eyebrows, looked at Meng Yun, then at McAdoo, thoughtfully: "Is that so? They really dare to take such a risk?"

Becky Harmon was still half a beat behind Popovich. He just frowned slightly and didn't realize anything.

Spurs attack.

Just like their regular rhythm, after advancing to the frontcourt, pressing down, and then launching a positional battle, the offensive time was consumed until only 7 seconds were left before attacking. In the end, Kyle Anderson failed to score.

Whittington took the rebound and passed it to Meng Yun.

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, looked at the situation on the field, and then gave Johnson a wink. Meng Yun passed the ball to Johnson, circled the baseline, and came to the left corner beyond the three-point line. Johnson immediately passed the ball, Meng Yun took the ball and jumped up, ignoring the defender who was chasing him, and made another three-pointer.

"Again?"

"Are you kidding, can there be a second time?"

"This goal... actually scored again!"

With the sound of "shua", the fans were all stunned. The goal was scored again. For Meng Yun's second three-pointer, the entire offense only passed the ball twice, and it took less than ten seconds.

This feeling is too sharp!

"Not good." Becky Harmon finally came to his senses, his face became ugly, "In order not to follow our rhythm, they dare to do this and throw a three-pointer when they come to the frontcourt, are they crazy? "

The Heat's strategy is indeed crazy. They throw three-pointers in the frontcourt, and they don't play positional warfare at all, so they won't follow the rhythm of the Spurs, but is it reasonable to throw it like this?
Popovich shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Because they have Meng."

Becky Harmon was shocked, a little unbelievable: "Just because Meng is here, they dare to take such a risk? McAdoo has such confidence in him? Or, they don't care about whether they can make a shot, but just want to Breaking our rhythm in this way. Well, it's very possible, throwing like this, even if it doesn't go in, it can scare the opponent."

Here, McAdoo smiled.

The Spurs just want to suppress the rhythm, bring the game into a positional battle, and bring it into their rhythm. McAdoo can't let them do what they want, because once the game is dragged into a positional battle, the Heat will inevitably suffer under the Spurs' positional defense. .

In order to avoid this, McAdoo decided to take a risk. The Spurs thought that grabbing a good rebound and then suppressing the Heat's counterattack would suppress the rhythm. McAdoo simply went slanted forward. We will not play a quick counterattack. Let you take it easy Arrange the defense line, but it is useless if you arrange it, because as soon as we reach the frontcourt, we will still score three points.

The Spurs want to block the Heat's counterattack. Once the Heat's counterattack is delayed, the Spurs can calmly arrange the defense line, so that the Heat have to fight positional warfare.

The Heat bypassed this step directly this time. We are not in a hurry to launch a counterattack, but we will not fight with you after we get to the frontcourt. We will directly still make three points.

It's also thanks to McAdoo's boldness, because although this strategy can work in theory, it is too risky to implement. If you throw a three-pointer in the frontcourt, how can you guarantee the hit rate?
"Fortunately, Meng is here." McAdoo looked at Meng Yun on the field and heaved a sigh of relief. It was because of Meng Yun's presence. Without Meng Yun, McAdoo would not have dared to do this.
