king of defenders

Chapter 574
"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

Wade looked calm, his eyes were like a pool of water, cheers came and went from the audience, but Wade just turned around and silently ran towards his own half.

Nothing for the fans, but Thompson felt an unusual atmosphere, as if there was a volcano brewing under Wade's calm appearance.

"Klay." Seeing Thompson in a daze, Curry yelled, "It's time for us to attack."

"Oh." Thompson came back to his senses and ran forward.

A few more rounds passed, and the Warriors played as usual, moving the ball quickly, making clean outside shots, everyone was able to score, the offense was sharp, and the pace was fast.

Speaking of which, the Warriors' style of play is actually somewhat similar to the Heat's X tactics, but not exactly the same. The Warriors rely more on the outside three-pointer than the Heat, but the tactical coordination and rhythm of the two are similar. They both pay attention to tacit understanding and fast rhythm. Quick counterattack.
The Warriors played in an orderly manner, while the Heat's Meng Yun and Wade were fully fired. The others did not score. After more than three minutes in the first quarter, only Meng Yun and Wade scored. Meng Yun scored 4 points and Wade scored 5 points. He hit a three-pointer, and another time he hit the inside line and caused Green to foul. He made two free throws at the free throw line and scored [-] points.

The score became 9:10, with the Heat trailing by 1 point.

Of course, it's nothing to be behind by one point, but everyone can see that the Heat rely on Meng Yun and Wade, and the others are completely foils, not soy sauce.

Is it too easy to play like this?

It's really very simple, because the purpose is too clear, Coach Cole called a timeout, and rearranged: "As you can see, the Heat have no way to solve their problems, they can only put all their eggs in one basket and rely entirely on Wade and Meng." .Then our defense will be aimed directly at the two of them, as long as they are restrained."

"What if they split the ball? It's intentional to get us to focus our defense on them and create opportunities for others." Curry asked.

"It doesn't matter." Cole said: "The other players on the Heat team are in poor condition, even if they have a chance, they shouldn't be afraid. And the Heat may not have this idea."

Yes, the Heat did not intend to do this.

Morale is low, players are in a slump, others are unreliable, and maybe they can score some points, but you want to rely on them to beat the Warriors?That is an idiot's dream.

After all, it still depends on Meng Yun and Wade. It is not difficult to fight, but it is difficult to fight.

"Let me talk about it." Spoelstra still made some arrangements, "The opponent will definitely further strengthen the defense against Meng Yun and Wade later. You have to help them cover and pick-and-roll. There is also an open space, Air cut, if you have a good chance, Meng Yun will pass the ball, and all you have to do is shoot. I don’t care if I score or not, you have to shoot for me. It doesn’t matter if you shoot or not, but whoever doesn’t shoot, Come down for me then."

Hearing this, Whiteside, Luol Deng, and Green responded in unison: "Yes, coach."

They are also very clear that the pressure of the team is on Meng Yun and Wade. They just did some simple things. If they can't do it well, what face do they have to stay on the court?

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

Back on the court, the Warriors attack.

The Warriors' offense is as fierce as ever. Their transfer of the ball is very fast, and the threat of three-pointers from the outside is very great, forcing the Heat to expand the defense line, which makes it easier for the Warriors to break through.

Curry controlled the ball. Facing Meng Yun's defense, he tried it and found that it was not easy to break through. After all, Curry's physical fitness is not particularly good. His advantages are shooting and skillful control skills, as well as his understanding of skills and rhythm. control.

"Pick and roll."

Curry asked for a pick-and-roll, then quickly threw Meng Yun away, and made a gesture to move forward, but it was only a tentative step, and then quickly retreated, his feet returned to the three-point line, and his wrist flicked.

Swish!
The goal was scored and a three-pointer was hit.

"The shot is really fast." Meng Yun sighed secretly. His reaction was fast enough and his judgment was accurate enough. He knew that Curry might choose a three-point shot, so he quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll man and flew towards Curry, but it was still slow. A little bit, Curry's three-pointers are very fast, so even if his take-off height is not high and his height is not high, it is still difficult for defenders to block shots.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

After Meng Yun arrived in the front court, he felt a pressure, and the opponent really strengthened his defense.

"Pick and roll!"

Meng Yun made a gesture, Whiteside came up to pick and roll, Meng Yun quickly threw away Curry, and then exploded in speed, killing inside like a phantom, the Warriors shrunk inside, forming a human wall, blocking Meng Yun.

Meng Yun jumped up, curled up in the air, and then flicked the ball behind his head. The basketball fell straight into Whiteside's hands. Whiteside jumped up holding the ball, knocked Bogut and Green away, and dunked with both hands.

The sound of "哐" caused the home fans to erupt.

Tens of seconds later, Meng Yun broke through again, tearing apart the opponent's defense, and then passed the ball to Wade. Wade crossed continuously, and then accelerated to break through the bottom line. Thompson quickly retreated, clinging to Wade.

I have to say that Thompson's personal defensive ability is really good. He has height and consciousness, and is very balanced in all aspects. One-on-one defense is smart enough and very targeted.

But Wade has more experience than him.

I saw Wade suddenly stopped, lifted the ball, Thompson subconsciously jumped up to block.

"No, I was fooled."

As soon as Thompson jumped up, he knew he had been fooled. Wade didn't take off at all, and he didn't shoot the ball. Instead, he bent down quickly, took a step forward, and hit the board.

Swish!
Go in again.

"It didn't stop again." Thompson shook his head, a little annoyed. Wade is 34 years old and has no speed and explosive power. But he still has skills and experience, which made Thompson feel a headache.

Here, the Warriors scored. After Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, he suddenly scored and passed it to Wade. After Wade broke through, he passed the ball out and passed it to Green. Green made a three-pointer. Fortunately, the goal was scored.

The two sides came and went, and another few minutes passed.

Ten minutes into the first quarter, the Heat trailed by 10 points.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, not bad."

"The main reason is that Wade and Meng played well. Otherwise, at this time, I'm afraid they are at least 10 points behind."

In the auditorium, the fans were discussing.

The two sides began to change players and entered the rotation time.

Meng Yun and Wade came to the sidelines, and someone handed them a towel, and they wiped their sweat, but in a blink of an eye, fine beads of sweat seeped out, gathered along their foreheads and cheeks, and finally fell down their chins.

"They have a heavy burden, and their physical energy is exhausted too quickly." Spoelstra's heart was solemn. It seemed that the two sides played evenly in this quarter, but in fact the Heat still suffered.

This is another question.

How long can Meng Yun and Wade last with such consumption?
