Chapter 493 The Eagles' Targeted Defense
Swish!
The goal is scored, and the Heat will go first.

The Eagles counterattacked quickly. After Teague advanced to the frontcourt, he asked for a pick-and-roll, and then made a sudden point to Korver on the outside. Meng Yun was the one who played against Korver.Although Spoelstra does not limit his position in offense, Meng Yun is still in position 3 in defense, facing Korver.

Korver is a player similar to JJ-Redick, a pure shooter, flexible in movement, standard shooting, quick shots, and an excellent three-point shooter.

Seeing Korver taking the ball from outside the three-point line, Meng Yun immediately rushed forward. He was not worried about Korver breaking through. In fact, Korver rarely broke through. Redick would occasionally feint and then break through. Korver is almost nonexistent. Meng Yun only needs to keep up with Korver's footsteps and limit his shots.

And Meng Yun is fast and tall, so he has no problem facing Korver.

As soon as Korver got the ball, Meng Yun came in front of him. He couldn't help frowning: "The speed is really fast. It's hard to get rid of him by simply running."

Korver passes the ball.

The Eagles are a team team without any big-name stars, and no player in the team averaged more than 10 minutes per game.But it is such a team that had a record of 60 wins and 22 losses last season, even surpassing the Cavaliers with the Big Three of James, Irving, and Love, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

It can be seen that the horror of the Eagles does not lie in a certain player, but in the whole.

After passing the ball a few times, the basketball is shifting rapidly, the opportunity does not stop, and the players are also moving rapidly, like a revolving lantern, interspersed, running, and covering
At some point, the inside line was empty, Horford sneaked over from the bottom line, and the ball from his teammate was delivered just in time, Horford caught the ball and dunked with both hands.

"How could someone miss?" Dragic frowned.

"We had a problem switching defenses." Wade said, with a slight smile, "Okay, it's time for us to attack. Be careful later, switch defenses quickly and clearly, don't overlap, and don't miss people. The Eagles are very well coordinated. Silent, with clear tactics and a strong team." Wade said, looking at Meng Yun, "We have to be careful."

"Ah."

"Yes."

The four of Meng Yun responded and began to attack.

Meng Yun took the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward. Dragic took the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Teague pounced on Dragic. Dragic frowned and asked for a pick-and-roll. Teague was thrown away, but the next moment Bazemore pounced and blocked Dragic. Dragic frowned and passed to Wade.

Wade passed to Bosh again, Bosh singled out, took two steps inside, turned over and hooked, but failed to score.

The Eagles' counterattack was very slow. Teague came to the frontcourt unhurriedly, and the Eagles players started to run. They had to pass the ball at least three times before making a shot, which took a lot of time.

Horford's height is only 208 cm, Millsap is only 203 cm, Korver is only 201 cm, Bazemore is less than 1.9 meters, and Teague is less than [-] meters. The Eagles are at a disadvantage in height, but they are He is very active when rushing to grab rebounds, especially the offensive rebounds, which are very aggressive.

Almost everyone in the Eagles will rush for rebounds, but there is one exception, that is Korver, who does not rush for rebounds, but stares at Meng Yun.

Yes, when defending, Korver stuck close to Meng Yun, interfered with Meng Yun's receiving the ball, and restricted his shooting. After the offensive teammate shot, Korver still stared at Meng Yun, not to go Going for the rebound without even looking at it.

Judging from the Heat's X-tactics in the past, Meng Yun is a shooter and fast-break pioneer in X-tactics, so Korver's defensive strategy is to limit Meng Yun's shots, as well as fast breaks and quick counterattacks.

"mine."

Inside, Whiteside growled, grabbed the rebound, and was about to pass it to Dragic when he found Horford rushing towards him. His heart jumped and he quickly protected the ball.

With such a delay, the quick counterattack would be impossible.

When Whiteside passed the ball, the Eagles had already completed their defense, and Meng Yun followed Korver. Dragic frowned slightly and could only switch to a half-court battle.

This was the case in the next few rounds. The Heat were dragged into a positional battle and had to play half-court with the opponent every time. The Heat were not as good as a team like the Eagles in half-court, and they quickly fell behind. In the disadvantaged.

On the sidelines, the assistant coach of the Eagles laughed and said, "The Heat have to adjust their roster properly. It's fine to let this little guy Meng start. What kind of X tactic is he going to play? It seems to be called 'X tactic'? I remember the media That Spoelstra guy mentioned it in the interview with Spoelstra."

"Tactical X?" Mike Budenholzer glanced at Spoelstra and sneered, "Isn't it just run and gun? I thought everyone wouldn't know if they changed their name. They didn't play conventional tactics, but why If you want to fight and run away, you really want to die!"

"Hey." The teaching assistant next to him smiled even more happily.

The run-and-gun tactic, oh no, the Heat call it the X tactic. This tactic has its advantages, the offense is in full swing, and the quick counterattack is extremely fierce, but it also has its disadvantages.

In response to these shortcomings, the Eagles made targeted defenses.

One is to implement an oppressive defense against Dragic and interfere with Dragic's organization, because running and bombing relies on point guards. If the point guard is restricted, running and bombing will be over.In addition, the Eagles are also consciously consuming Dragic's physical energy. The running and bombing tactics require running, which consumes a lot of physical energy for the players. Coupled with conscious consumption, I am afraid that it will not be as good as Dragic's physical energy in the fourth quarter. There will be problems, and the running and bombing will not be able to run.

The second is to actively fight for rebounds. Except for Korver, the other four are actively fighting for rebounds, instead of just letting Horford and Millsap on the inside.

The most powerful part of running and bombing is the "quick counterattack". If there is no backcourt rebound, then the quick counterattack will not exist.

Of course, it is impossible to have no backcourt rebounds at all, but as long as one-fourth, or even one-fifth of the backcourt rebounds are lost, it is already a blow to the Heat.

The third is to keep calm. The Eagles played unhurriedly, even if they had a chance to counterattack quickly, they pressed down to play positional warfare, just to avoid falling into the rhythm of the Heat.

If these three points are achieved, the run-and-bomb tactics will not be difficult to deal with.

Here, sensing the look in Mike Budenholzer's eyes, Spoelstra smiled and looked at the field: "Look at the Eagles' style of play as if we were running and bombing. It's for the run and gun. Too bad Mike Budenholzer doesn't know that the X is not the same as the run and gun."
