Chapter 171 Finals 3
When it was the Heat's turn to attack, Spoelstra frowned.

Chalmers handed the ball to Wade after dribbling the ball for half court, but what surprised everyone was that the Timberwolves decisively double-teamed Wade, very decisively. no hesitation.

To be honest, Wade didn't expect the opponent to double-team him at all. There was no sign at all. Wade also made a pass error in a haste. The ball that should have been thrown to James was jumped up. Te blocked it, and then the basketball was also taken by Middleton.

Timberwolves' counterattack opportunity, Middleton did not hand over the ball but directly dribbled forward quickly. Wade patted his head with some regret, and then accelerated to entangle Middleton.

Bennett, who double-teamed with Middleton, also accelerated and ran forward, while James followed Bennett, and suddenly a two-on-two situation appeared in the frontcourt.

Middleton suddenly made a sudden stop and followed by a crotch dribble and passed the ball to his left hand. At this time, Bennett also ran towards Middleton's position, and the two crossed quickly with the ball.

At this time, Wade was also blocked by Bennett, and it was this blocked opportunity that gave Middleton a chance to complete the shot, and immediately jumped up when he was half a step away from the three-point line. shot.

Although Wade's follow-up speed is already very fast, he still failed to block Middleton's shot.

Moments later, the basketball fell into the hoop with precision.

After scoring the goal, Middleton also changed his previous low-key style and pointed directly to the stands with one finger.

5 to 0, after the opening, the Timberwolves used their actual performance to tell all those who are optimistic about the Heat that they are fully capable of playing the role of the dark horse this season to the end, and at the same time telling Pat Riley who came from afar in the box , It may be difficult for the Heat to sweep themselves.

Spoelstra kept frowning on the sidelines. He wasn't thinking about the three-pointer just now. To be honest, the Timberwolves made three-pointers this season. What he was thinking about was why the Timberwolves decisively double-teamed Wade in his first attack in the opening game. It seemed that it should have been arranged before the game, but as for why the opponent arranged it this way, Spoelstra also didn't know why. I do not understand.

Next, the Heat took possession of the offensive ball. This time Chalmers handed the ball to James who stepped forward to respond after reaching the frontcourt. Bennett stuck to James tightly, strictly implementing Chen Dazhuang's arrangement and not giving the opponent a little bit. Opportunities from the outside line, and forced to constantly consume physical advantages to play.

Despite the blessing of the system buff, Bennett was successfully broken by James and scored a mid-range shot.

And then as time went by, everyone who followed this game also understood the Timberwolves' defensive strategy in this game, which is to defend against James alone, and you can score if you have the ability, but it is difficult for other people in the Heat to score. As long as Wade is holding the ball on the outside and ready to attack, Middleton will post it without hesitation, and then Rubio or Bennett will directly step forward to double-team, without sloppy at all.

And as long as James gets the ball, the Timberwolves don't care at all. Oden and Yi Jianlian on the inside are ready to meet the supplementary defense, that is, let James and Bennett fight hand-to-hand, and the most important thing is that the Timberwolves pay special attention to opposing The Heat's perimeter defense, the Heat's perimeter was not very accurate this season, coupled with such a tight defense, the result can be imagined.

In addition, the more critical thing is that while defending the Heat's perimeter, after Oden established the advantage in the interior during the offense, the Timberwolves also opened up their perimeter.

This made the Heat feel uncomfortable. It's not that they can't score. Although Bennett is desperately defending, James' scoring efficiency is still very high, so the score difference is not much, but anyone can see it. The consumption of James is huge. According to this style of play, James cannot maintain such a high efficiency throughout the game.

And that's exactly what the Timberwolves want to see.

In addition, because the ball is always in James' hands, it means that other people don't have many shots. In this way, all the pressure on the Heat's offense is forced to be transferred to James alone.

Spoelstra also knows this. He knows that if there is no way to change this situation, then the chance of winning this game is not high. The current situation is undoubtedly slow suicide for the Heat.

The higher James scores, the faster the Heat die.

This guy is so insidious, he actually used the trick he used against the Lakers to deal with him. Spoelstra turned his head and glanced at Chen Dazhuang on the other side.

At this time, Chen Dazhuang was discussing the situation of the game with Smith.

"Chen, you are not afraid that James will go crazy. This guy is still very difficult to deal with once he is in a fight. Anthony is unlucky in this game."

"A person's strength is always limited. I admit that this guy is indeed very powerful. The only one who can compete with him in the current alliance is the Thunderclap guy. However, these two people are not of the same type, but the best is the best." , he is not a god, he is just a person, he will be tired, he also has limits, there may be a few games where he alone can change the situation of the battle, but that is just an accidental phenomenon, even Michael cannot be alone Win all the games."

"I have to say, you guys are really insidious. I see that guy on the opposite side has been watching you, and I guess he must be scolding you at this moment." Smith said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he's praising me. After all, next season he will start to study how to play LeBron. I taught him in advance. He should charge him some tuition fees."

"Hahahaha, then you can try asking him after the game is over."

The atmosphere on the benches of both sides at this time explained the situation of the game on the field at the moment.

At 6 minutes and 13 seconds into the first quarter, seeing that there was still no change in the situation on the court, even if Spoelstra didn't think of any good solution, he could only call a timeout, even if he couldn't Making a change, at the very least, might cool down the opponent's touch on the perimeter.

17 to 12, the Timberwolves led by five points, and the Heat called a timeout.

"Everyone, the game lasted a little over 6 minutes, and now the tactical arrangements of the two sides are basically clear at a glance. What do you think about the current situation and share with our fans."
