Center first

Chapter 143 The War Between Man and Beast
There are only two days of preparation period left, and the time is so short that Spoelstra hasn't had time to figure out how to deal with the possible threats from the two big shooters on the periphery.But now there is not too much good news for him. The Magic's swingman Michael Pietrus has been confirmed to be on the injured list due to injury.

There is one less player in the Magic who can average [-] points per game, which can finally reduce the pressure on the entire Heat's perimeter defense.Now if Spoelstra really wants to win this game, he must get rid of those annoying shooters on the perimeter of the Magic. I really don’t know what the Magic thinks. There are so many shooters hoarding on the perimeter. It's outrageous.

"Damn it, Stan Van Gundy, what the hell does he want so many three-point shooters on the team. Now besides the super monster inside the basket, I have to worry about the remaining four shooters. The three-point shooting percentages of the four regular starters are all terribly high, and the worst one, Courtney Lee, has a shooting percentage of 40%, which is fucking unbearable!" Spoelstra waved his hands Pulling his black hair and complaining desperately, his biggest desire now is that God can put these guys on the injured list collectively, so that he doesn't have to think about how to limit the opponent's damn pitchers, but , It's a pity that no one pays attention to the laments of this Filipino kid now that God is on vacation.

The Magic is indeed a very strange team in the NBA. Although they have an extremely destructive inside monster, their main offensive point is in the hands of outside attacking players.Dwight Howard's shooting opportunities are far inferior to Lewis and Turkoglu on the perimeter. His role is more reflected in compressing the opponent's defense and competing for rebounds, but even so, he can still win every game. 20 points and 10 rebounds are enough to show how terrible he is.

However, in this game, this monster may not crush the Heat's inside defense so easily. Spoelstra knows how Lin Yi's strength is in the inside matchup.He didn't believe that the destructive power of that monster would be stronger than that of the big shark or YAO.However, at the same time, he is also very clear that in this game, Lin Yi will lead the inside pressure will be very high.Lin Yi had to put all his energy into fighting the monsters at the basket, and it was impossible to be distracted from dealing with those guys who broke through. In this way, Spoelstra had to pay special attention to the protection of the inside line.He wants to use the defensive system built around the perimeter as much as possible to stop those guys who try to break through, but in this way, those shooters who make him scratch their heads will have their own space. There is still no fundamental way to solve this problem that has troubled him for several days , the pressure remains.

Let Lin Yi stand up against the monster under the basket. This is the task Spoelstra entrusted to Lin Yi. No matter what method is used, don't let that big guy have a chance to open up the situation in the paint.Of course, Lin Yi knew what this task meant, and he also wanted to try to fight this big guy one-on-one. There are not many insiders who can really compete with him inside, and more people adopt the siege type. tactics.Now a well-matched opponent is exactly what Lin Yi longs for, perhaps just like those media reports, this Warcraft is a very good opponent.

Even if the opponent's attack line is not all concentrated on the inside line, but Lin Yi knows that if they can't properly control the compression of their inside line defense by the monsters, then their outside line defense may face the possibility of collapse at any time.Now the duel between him and Warcraft is enough to determine the direction of the game. He can't have a chance to retreat. He must completely stop Warcraft's attack at the basket.

As for the attack points on the outside of the Magic, the big man Turkoglu handed over to Marion.Although Moon Man's defensive awareness and defensive attitude are much better than Marion's, but facing a large pitcher of 2 meters, it is obvious that his height will suffer a lot, so Spoelstra put this task Handed it over to Marion, he hoped that the hacker's long arms could block the opponent's sight, as long as it interfered with Turkoglu's shooting sight.And in terms of physical confrontation, Marion's strong body will not give Turkoglu any chance to take advantage.

Lewis, another strongest point on the perimeter, will encounter McDyess' comprehensive marking in this game. Old Horry and the stocky Haslem are not suitable for this task. Their lack of movement speed will Let Lewis have a chance to break through, and McDyess's bounce and movement speed are enough to ensure that he can keep up with this Lewis who can go inside and outside.

If you can successfully mark the two deadliest pitchers of the Magic, that is the result Spoelstra most hopes to see.However, he doesn't expect to be able to limit the number of shots these two guys take. He just wants to disrupt their shooting rhythm as much as possible and reduce their shooting percentage as much as possible, so that it is possible to destroy the peripheral threats. With these two sharpest teeth, the threat of the Magic will plummet.

This may be the first time since the transfer of Banks, the first-year Mario Chalmers did not play as a starter. He was replaced by Raja Bell, and his opponent was the small Jameer Nelson.This chunky guy stimulated everyone with a blowout explosion this season, and he also had a chance to be selected to the All-Star team for the first time. His offensive power is not something that Chalmers can handle.Spoelstra hopes that the experienced Bell can control this guy who is almost crazy about breakthroughs and three-pointers. He believes that the old Bell's defensive skills will not allow anyone to easily break into the inside.

Now the most threatening point for the entire Heat team is Wade. He is about to face the encirclement and suppression of Courtney Lee, but the first-year rookie wants to keep an eye on the Finals MVP-level Flash, which is almost nothing like a dream. The difference is that Wade will not give him any chance to breathe. He will use the stormy attack to directly defeat the opponent at the beginning of the game. For this point of attack, Spoelstra is the most assured. of.

The point that needs the most attention now is the little guy Lin Yi. If he can't open up the situation with this point or if he can't defend against the attack of the monster Howard with this point, then the arrangements made by Spoelstra in front of him will be in vain. , he can be said to be gambling, betting that this little guy can carry the opponent in the paint, this is also the confidence that Lin Yi gave him in the first half of the season, he believes that he will not lose, because Lin Yi will not give up any to the chance of victory.

Lin Yi looked at the head coach Spoelstra with the most determined eyes, and the meaning revealed in his eyes was to assure the head coach that he would not let anyone down. Leave it to him to protect, he will not let anyone have a chance, including that monster.

While the Heat are making careful arrangements, Stan Van Gundy is also simulating the recent staffing situation of the Heat. He is also estimating what tactics the opponent will use to deal with him. This away game is after all Regarding the ranking, he didn't want to make any mistakes.

The absence of Pietrus caused him a lot of headaches. He originally planned to let this strong guy defend the lightning paced Wade. Now he can only rely on a first-year rookie Courtney Lee to try this task. However, he may now have little hope of being able to defend Wade.

Few people in this league can do the task of defending against the Flash alone, but Van Gundy has already arranged for these guys who are good at breakthroughs. They can win consecutively against the Cavaliers by relying on that defensive method, which is stronger than the little emperor. The same breakthrough masters can't penetrate their defenses, let alone the Flash, the overall defense is the most powerful defensive weapon.

Now the most threatening thing in Van Gundy's eyes is the big man standing under the basket besides Wade. This may be the most dazzling center in this year's regular season. It has been a long time since there has been a convincing center player Now, this kid from the Heat seems to have made many people look forward to the big insider showdown in the future.Of course, that opponent must be his Warcraft.

How much energy this first-year kid possesses, he has not yet seen through, but as far as his current ability is concerned, Howard still has his own absolute advantage.

Lin Yi's two games against Shaquille O'Neal and YAO were the games that Van Gundy paid special attention to. Lin Yi's power gap kept him at a disadvantage. This is what Van Gundy liked to see most. His strength advantage over Howard That is quite confident.

In terms of skill at the basket, that Warcraft may still be a little rough, but in terms of strength alone, few people in this league can withstand his impact, and Lin Yi's thin body is even less hopeful. Big Van Gundy asked Howard From the first minute of the game, try to use your own advantages to suppress the opponent.

In this way, their outside line can find shooting opportunities when the opponent's defense shrinks. Four three-pointers, this is a big meal that Van Gundy prepared for the Heat. Few teams can really To limit the Magic's three-pointer tactics.

The crazy three-point rain of the Magic has already made the perimeter defenders of many teams cry. Now Stan Van Gundy also wants the Heat to try what is called, and it has been raining.

Both teams have already accumulated their own strength, and they are only waiting for the moment when they go on the court. They both know their goals. This is a full-scale confrontation game. Whichever starts to collapse first will face a complete defeat first. As for the two big guys inside, they will definitely play sparks in the game.

Everything is speculation, and the mystery will be revealed when the game time officially arrives. When the American Airlines Center arena is full of fans, all eyes are on the two big men who are warming up on both sides of the field. In this game, they are the protagonists. Even Wade knows very well that in this game, the inside line is the key to victory.

It wasn't until the face-to-face moment that Lin Yi could feel how powerful the monster's accumulated power was. Before the match, when the two teams were adapting to the field, the two of them were pulled in front of the camera by TNT TV and shook hands.Everyone has already decided that this is a duel about who is the strongest center in the Eastern Conference. TNT TV is going to use this as a gimmick for this game. Maybe after the YAO Shark duel disappears completely, they can still hype these two. The guy's confrontation, they are still young, and there is still a long time to come, maybe the confrontation between them can continue the glory of the center position for a long time.

Howard's strong muscles tightened the Magic uniform on his body, every muscle seemed to be beating, and the power contained inside seemed to be released at any time, but there was still a simple and honest smile on his face.But Lin Yi knew that this guy with a silly smile all day long would transform into the most ferocious offensive machine at the basket as soon as he stepped on the floor, and the next matchup on the court would be tough.

The two shook hands in front of the camera as a sign of friendship. Both of them knew that the confrontation between them would never be such a harmonious scene after they got on the stage. It was just for show. Separated, they are all accumulating strength, maybe the next outbreak will make everyone look sideways.

Wade stopped Lin Yi when he walked to the sidelines, and asked quietly
"How do you feel about your opponent? You must know that when you looked at you from the side just now, this guy can definitely put you in. I'm really worried that after the confrontation between the two of you, you will really be knocked out by this guy. You know, when he was on the U.S. national team, I saw him hit that Bosh guy, and I don't think you're much stronger than Bosh."

"Dwyane, I don't think you need to worry too much about me. I can use Bosh's paper figure to fly him with my shoulders. If it wasn't for O'Neal who would carry me to the basket every time, I think you would have You can see that scene, but this guy Howard is really strong." Lin Yi thought about the feeling when the two faced each other just now, and he could clearly perceive the power contained in the opponent.

"However, his muscles are too much for me to bear." Lin Yi and Wade complained quietly.

"Ah? What makes you unbearable?" Wade asked puzzled.

"He filled his clothes to the brim, and his muscles were still shaking back and forth just now, which made me feel nauseous." Lin Yi was really not used to this body shape that seemed to be full of silicone, Although strong, it is really disgusting enough.

"...What the hell are you thinking..." Wade realized that he had nothing to say to Lin Yi, he didn't seem to know what it was like to be nervous, and he didn't have any emotional fluctuations in the face of such a strong opponent.

Lin Yi is very clear about what he is thinking in his heart now, he will not be afraid of confronting any opponent, he only has an impulse in his heart now, he wants to see whether the monster can rule everything in the basket, or he Being able to take the initiative, this is a confrontation between centers, and the fierce confrontation at the basket will start from the moment the whistle sounds.

This is not the continent of Azeroth. Orcs are not the rulers, but humans are. In my territory, even the most ferocious beasts have to keep their heads down. Lin Yi slapped the basketball in his hands heavily. .

The muffled sound of the basketball seems to be the drumbeat that heralds the beginning of the war. The confrontation between humans and monsters is about to begin. . .

(Category promotion, should everyone consider increasing my popularity??? Yesterday I watched the most depressing game ever, TNND. After playing like this, these guys still have the nerve to live? I’m so mad, I am so angry that a lady like me can't help cursing! His uncle!)
