Center first

Chapter 485
Lin Yi's flying interception severely slapped Jamison's shot. Mike Brown and the little emperor didn't know if it was an accidental accident. At least at the moment when the little emperor passed the ball, he didn't look at it. When Lin Yi rushed out from the basket ahead of time and moved to the predetermined position, maybe all of this was just a coincidence. Maybe only this kind of thinking can make them feel a little calm in their hearts, otherwise, they Knowing what kind of predicament he was about to face, the little emperor absolutely did not want such a defense to be a premeditated trap.

It may be that this fierce block hit the little emperor's confidence in cutting the ball. When he received the bottom line serve, he did not pass the ball to Jamison again. Instead, he chose to shoot after hard-pressing Millsap, but This time a somewhat reluctant shot did not hit directly, and Big Ben firmly grabbed the falling rebound. The idea of ​​​​the Clevelands wanting to quickly open the score did not come true at the beginning of the second quarter, at least in their first quarter. On one play with the ball, the guy with the big slap dealt the Cavaliers a blow that wasn't fatal, but it hurt.

The little emperor didn't have too many regrets about his shooting choice this time. The hasty time made his shooting feel bad, but now he is more worried about the guy who suddenly rushed to Jamison's side, not just his presence Worried about it, Mike Brown also began to feel that the uneasiness was buried in the fat black man's heart, and the little emperor's uneasiness was clearly on his face. He didn't know if it was because he was a little too worried.

But the sudden appearance made him hesitate in the attack just now. He has been thinking about whether that guy has started to mark Jamison deliberately. He really hopes that this is not the cruel reality. The helper he just found has not been able to provide him with enough help to carry the offense of the whole team by himself. He does not want to let this opportunity to turn the tide of the battle slip away from him.

But soon his illusions began to be shattered. The Miami people not only relied on Wade's layup from the bottom line to equalize the score in the next offense, but also readjusted their formation in the next defense. Now These Cleveland guys finally saw who the guy standing next to Jamison was. Lin Yi's big hand was already on Jamison's waist, and his defensive position was even closer to the three-point line. This defensive formation has already explained everything. What this guy just did was not accidental. He was here to defend Jamison.

And it's that kind of one-on-one staring defense. Mike Brown is standing on the sidelines and watching everything that happened on the field in astonishment. He subconsciously looked at the Miami Heat dugout. Responding to his gaze with a smile, Mike Brown understood that none of this happened by coincidence. That guy just consciously put Lin Yi next to Jamison. That crazy Miami coach was going to stare at Cleveland like this. The Cavaliers have just recovered their scoring points, and they can even let Lin Yi sacrifice the defensive task of the basket to follow up.

This is a fucking thing that only a group of lunatics can do. When your team still has a big shark under the basket, will you let the best defensive big guy on your team leave from the place with the heaviest task? ?Those lunatics in Miami made such a choice. They even gave up the basket in such a risky way, in order to kill the little emperor's helper. It would be suicidal to let Jamison compete with Lin Yi in terms of footwork and running positions, not to mention that guy has an advantage in height.

Lin Yi's defense at the bottom line just now is a proof. In terms of his moving speed and tough posture when defending close to him, it is almost impossible for Jamison to take advantage of him. Even if Jamison wants to catch the ball and shoot It is too difficult. After all, he is not a pure shooter like Ray Allen. He must have enough room to shoot. Even if he wants to face the basket and directly hold the ball and make a strong shot, he is facing Ben Wallace. A trick that would only be used by a slow-moving guy like a soldier, to deal with Lin Yi?Come on, don't you know how fast that guy moves when he's in close quarters?

From the second Lin Yi stood next to Jamison, the possibility of this guy scoring again has been eliminated. Even Jamison himself knows that it is impossible for him to score as crazy as in the first quarter. Look at O'Neal How many points can only be scored under Lin Yi's close marking? Jamison has not naively thought that he is more powerful than the mighty Sharks. In the first case, he really didn't have much confidence that he could pass the big man and score a goal. After all, that big slap gave him too much psychological pressure.

From this moment, the game returned to the rhythm of the first half of the first quarter. The Cavaliers once again returned to the offensive mode with O'Neill and Little Emperor as the scoring points. Jamison, who had already scored eight points in the first quarter, started again. Falling into silence, it's not that he hasn't tried to get rid of the big guy next to him and defending him. He used to run continuously to find an open space where he can shoot, but he still couldn't find an open space.

Every time he tried to find a free shot with interspersed running positions, the big man who followed him would always block his moving route one step ahead. The difference in moving speed made Jamison always at a disadvantage in the confrontation. There was only one time in the second quarter that he successfully received a pass from the outside, but when he was about to shoot, the big guy covered the basketball with both hands, not only rewarding Jamison with another block, but also It was a direct use of such a block to launch a quick counterattack. When the second quarter ended, Jamison never scored again.

58:50, this is the score at the end of the second quarter, but the leading side has been replaced by the Miami Heat. In this quarter, they won the Cavaliers by a full point in a single quarter. This is not a game Among them, they are all ahead, and they have been following their own procedures in terms of personnel adjustments, but Mike Brown can only passively start personnel rotation, and his every move is counted to death by the Filipinos.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who were forced to start a rotation, not only failed to open up the score as quickly as they had thought in advance, but also began to become a lagging side on the court, and their main starters also seemed to be more physically exhausted than those There are more people in Miami. The little emperor even only rested for 2 minutes in the first two quarters. When he didn't even dry his sweat, he had to play again, otherwise they didn't know how many points they would be behind.

However, the Miami Heat did not encounter such troubles. Their offensive distribution on the field was more reasonable, and everyone had enough space to attack, instead of relying on their own bodies to force out a bloody path. The only one on the field gave physical strength Lin Yi is the position that consumes the most. Not only does he need to recover the basket at the right time to cause some trouble for the little emperor who breaks through the layup, but he also needs to chase and defend Jamison, who is looking for a gap. This big guy When attacking, he also acts as a transfer station on the field. He must maximize his high point effect.

But compared to O'Neal and Jamison, who are already in their 30s, Lin Yi's youth and good physical strength are his greatest capital, especially since the Miami people have never been entangled with the Celtics until the seventh game, which also gave them enough With more rest time, when both O'Neal and Jamison needed to rest, Lin Yi could continue to run on the field, and the score gradually opened up, also because this guy stabbed the Cavaliers inside.

Lin Yi's offensive contribution is to link up the firepower network of the entire team. With him on the field, those teammates can fire and shoot unscrupulously. Spoelstra's rotation system also revolves around Lin Yi from the beginning. As long as this guy Occupying the commanding heights of the basket, he can deploy enough offensive personnel around Lin Yi. As long as his attack efficiency does not decrease, even an absolute core like Wade can get enough rest time. After all, Ivor Sen's scoring ability is not weak, and he is even more suitable for attacking teams like the Cavaliers with weak point guards.

Lin Yi's practice of marking Jamison in the high post has paid off. He has completely misfired this scoring point, and even the opponent has never had a decent shot. This is what the Filipino needs Lin Yi to do. Since he has chosen The risky approach must be taken back with profit. Although the little emperor's score has soared to 26 points and O'Neal's score has reached 14 points, what's the use of this?They are still lagging behind on the field, and they are paying more and more physical strength. Putting two on three, Spoelstra's tactical adjustments have seen the best results.

Spoelstra understood that his approach was a risk. He even selectively ignored the threat O'Neal posed at the basket. Compared with the scary-looking shark, he wanted to completely trap Jia Mison is a scoring point that may revitalize the entire Cavaliers. He can let the little emperor penetrate his inside and attack. He can also let O'Neal carry Big Ben in the low post and forcefully attack the basket, but he will never allow the Cavaliers to find the third. Scoring points, a Cavaliers lacking enough scoring points is not terrible, but a Cavaliers kneaded into a whole is a huge threat.

Spoelstra doesn't want to see the little emperor's breakthrough drive the entire Miami defense line. He would rather let this guy score consecutive points than let him drive the whole team's offense. Becoming the one who was sieved by the Cavaliers, Spoelstra has been looking for ways to destroy the opponent's offensive structure. He even gave up the inside siege tactics he has always relied on.

Lin Yi's mobility and strong defense are the primary conditions for Spoelstra to execute this tactic. Only this guy can completely prevent Jamison in one-on-one staring. This is why the Filipinos put the big stupid The reason why Zhong stays on the court is, yes, without Lin Yi's defense at the basket, O'Neal's scoring threat at the basket is constantly increasing, but what a 38-year-old guy can contribute is still limited after all.

What's more, this big shark is surrounded by a former best defensive player who is harassing. Compared with McDyess and Haslem, who are more mobile, it is obvious that Big Ben's body is more suitable for sharks. Their old opponents are too familiar with each other's habits. Big Ben has more experience and lessons in the actual combat against this big shark, and Big Ben's control over rebounds is also a Filipino gambling. The point is that he believes that this old guy can bring rebounds to his team, and from now on, he has already won the bet.

Instead of replacing McDyess with Haslem and Jamison, it is better to throw Lin Yi in front of the opponent and fight for a round. At least that tough kid can guarantee that he will block the opponent's attack. For firepower, what Spoelstra is asking for is a comprehensive ban, not a temporary one. He needs Lin Yi to use such defensive efficiency to reduce the power of the little emperor's breakthrough. At least for now, it seems that the Filipino has already achieved this. .

Although Big Ben didn't have much advantage when defending against O'Neal in the interior, and even he didn't do very well in restricting the opponent's scoring. Under his marking, the Sharks also won in the second quarter. 8 points and 4 rebounds, that data is obviously much better than that in the first quarter, but Big Ben's powerful muscles can exhaust O'Neal's physical strength to the greatest extent. This is a physical exertion match between two old guys.

This kind of continuous and tough confrontation forced O'Neal, who has been playing continuously under the basket, to be replaced halfway through the second quarter for physical recovery. Anyone can see that this big guy When he walked off the field, he had already started to breathe heavily. He obviously couldn't bear such crazy energy consumption, and Big Ben was able to grab 6 rebounds desperately in this round of confrontation. The addition of 1 blocked shot has shown that Spoelstra made the right decision to leave him on the court. When Big Ben was replaced for a rest, the veteran was greeted by a wave of cheers from the entire American Airlines Arena. Crazy cheers. At this time, not many people would doubt the Filipino's vision. He was absolutely right to put the big ben on the field. That guy not only completed the task, but also completed it very beautifully.

Let the big shark wreak havoc on the inside, just arrange a Big Ben to entangle him, let the little emperor break through, throw a strong Millsap on his side to pursue the confrontation, and then let the old Bowen on the outside die Pinching Mo Williams' scoring points, Wade completely suppressed West's organizational rhythm with his strong interference, and Jamison, who was finally emptied, could no longer get rid of Lin Yi's stare. Miami's defensive system is not only fierce So simple, what they are deploying now is a more ruthless tactic than encirclement, and the little emperor has been completely isolated by them on the court.

There was no pass, no coordination, no reasonable connection between inside and outside lines, and no interspersed running. When the little emperor held the ball in his hand and prepared to attack, he was left with a moment of confusion. Teammates perform screens or pick-and-roll cooperation, but the offensive points he can find have been firmly restrained by the Miamis. The only thing he can control now is his own freedom of movement. He can attack, and the Miamis want him to attack. , but what can such an attack bring?Is it the statistics of nearly 30 points in that half game?
Even if you have already scored 30 points at halftime, what's the use?Can a simple stat maniac save a team from failure?Maybe this is okay in the regular season, but don't forget, this is the playoffs where you have to go all out at any time. There won't be too many opportunities for a scorer to be a god. Maybe you can score as much as you want, but please Note that what you have to pay is several times more physical strength than usual, and the shooting rate is getting lower and lower. Your hands cannot always be as hot as a crater. When your hands start to get cold, you can still What are you going to fight with each other?
During the intermission, that black and fat Mike Brown didn't know what to do in his locker room. He could only repeat the ball over and over again with these big guys with their heads down. How to implement the team's tactics, how to create enough gaps for the little emperor, not only to cooperate with the little emperor's offense, but also to allow these people to contribute their abilities where they are suitable to shoot, but how difficult is this? Can a person listen to it?They are completely immersed in the predicament of being held down by their opponents and unable to score. Jamison, Mo Williams, these guys who usually score in the game have all become pitiful creatures caught in the opponent's calculations. Now there is no one can help them get out of trouble.

O'Neal is taking the time to recover his physical strength, maybe this ferocious old shark has also sensed that the only people the Cavaliers can rely on in this game are only him and the little emperor, he must let his physical strength Recover as soon as possible, otherwise, that mighty little emperor will also enter a situation where he can't stand alone, "This damn game..." O'Neill said in a voice that he could hear alone.

Yes, this damn game, this is what the little emperor wants to say now. He doesn't know if he can do better. He was dismembered, he didn't know how long he could continue to play with such an impact, but now James could clearly feel his heart getting colder, and he rushed down to score a few seconds later. It will be rewritten by others. If he misses an offense, the score will immediately be widened. Now even he himself has begun to feel at a loss.

No one knew what the outcome of the night would be, but those in Cleveland clearly felt a sense of crisis. . .
