Center first

Chapter 486
What difference can those 15 minutes at halftime make?Maybe what Mike Brown can do now is to give these big men a chance to breathe. He doesn't know what else he can do. You know, there is only one trick for this fat man to coach Cleveland, and that is to let LeBron James To decide everything, including everything on and off the court, so at this moment, this black fat man seemed helpless.

But it is obvious that the law he relied on was broken today. The omnipotent little emperor did not appear on the field. What was in front of him was just a machine that fell into a crazy scoring situation. The number of assists by the little emperor in the first half The frame was fixed at 4 times. Except for the few scoring opportunities he provided for Jamison, he has completely separated from the offensive rhythm of the entire team. He has completely become a scoring maniac who holds the ball and plays crazy singles.

And the little emperor who was deep in thought did not speak, and no one in this locker room could stand up and lead anything. O'Neill, who was already too tired, did not want to be the leader of the locker room at this time. The more than ten minutes of Zhong confrontation has cost him too much physical strength. Now he just wants to hurry up and recover his physical functions. Maybe the whole team will still rely on him and the little emperor to score in the second half. Whether Shark wants to take over the game and continue to score points, he has to stand at the basket and fight hand-to-hand with that old opponent.

Because this damn game has left O'Neal with no choice, he really doesn't know how long he can last, after all, he is 38 years old, he is not that fierce shark, even he faced Lin Yi in the first quarter At the time, he was already discouraged. If he was crazy to prove that he was not old during the last collision, then at this moment he just wanted to win even one more minute of rest time, because he was too tired.

Yes, this old shark is too tired, because neither Varejao nor Big Z, who replaced him, can control the defensive rebounds and the opponent's inside scrambling, neither Lin Yi nor McDyess It is easy to find defensive loopholes among them and take advantage of them, which is why the score is gradually widening. O'Neal can't even rest on the court for a while, he has to fight hard on the court under pressure.

And the Miami Heat have only one big guy going all out now, and that is Lin Yi, who has been on the court for almost 10 minutes. He alone restrains the inside line of the entire Cavaliers. Big guys, no one can stand up and say that he can completely limit Lin Yi's performance. Almost all the inside players are sitting in front of their lockers with a sad face, without saying a word.

As for Jamison, who was depressed for a quarter of the game, and Mo Williams, who had been depressed for the entire first half, there was no desire to speak at this time, especially after being replaced by Old Bowen and Old Bell. The guy touched Mo Williams for almost 10 minutes. He was even more melancholy. He even had a physical conflict with his opponent in the first half. reason.

But at this time, Larry Brown, who was sitting in his home watching the game, was grinning in front of the TV and admiring everything on the court. Now he has a little appreciation for the Filipino kid in Miami, because that guy is doing what he did back then. What he did in the Detroit Pistons and everything that happened on the field is all too familiar to this old man, because that is the set of tactics he arranged for the Pistons.

Who still remembers how the Los Angeles Lakers were stabbed to death bit by bit by the Iron Blood Legion of the Detroit Pistons when they had the super powerful F4 combination?Don't mention Malone's body has old injuries, and don't say that Payton, who left the Sonics, had already started to decline at that time. After all, they still have a strong O'Neal and Xiaofei, whose scoring ability is gradually reaching the peak of his career. Kobe Bryant, even they have an all-powerful Zen master, Phil Jackson, these are the strong foundation for the Lakers clamoring to win the fourth consecutive championship.

Just like the current Cavaliers, the Lakers at that time also had a luxurious scoring lineup. They had Kobe, O'Neal, Malone, Payton, and even substitutes like Fox and Fisher were better than the Pistons in the finals. The backcourt double guns they rely on are much more famous. The Pistons do not have such a luxurious scoring lineup, but what they have is a whole. They know when to exert their strength and what they should do.

The entire Pistons did not have the best scoring point in that finals. Except for Billups, who has a super big heart, the rest of them made their own contributions. The Los Angeles people fell, but the whole team supported the two of them not only with the delivery of ammunition, but also with the strong defense as their backing, and everyone can score points is the biggest headache for the Lakers a little.

What the powerful Lakers lack is such an overall structure. Although they have a guy who is regarded as a tactical master directing the game, the situation on the court is like a mess. There has never been a clear tactical system, such as the triangle offense. There has long been no room for development in this series. What they can rely on is the performance of individual geniuses, and everyone's favorite weapon for scoring points. The concept of mutual cooperation between players on the field has long been established. What they have forgotten, so in the end no one of them can stand up and carry everything.

In the five finals played in total, O'Neal and Kobe were the only scoring points the Lakers could rely on. O'Neal scored 34 points in the first game, Kobe scored 33 points in the second game, and they were the Lakers in the third game. There are only two players who scored more than 20 points. In the fourth game, O'Neal made a breakthrough under the basket, but his 30+ points failed to redeem a victory. In the final game of the fifth game, only O'Neal And Kobe Bryant scored over 20.

Except for the two of them whose scoring has been constant and efficient, the rest of them have completely disappeared. Maybe those people can find excuses for Malone's hand injury, maybe they can also say that Payton's knees and running ability have been exhausted. It's not as good as before, and they can even say that these two later old guys and the entire Lakers' tactical system cannot be integrated together. You can also say that Zen Master's law of three consecutive championships played a role at this time.

Some people will even look for the reasons behind this defeat, and the reasons have become strange, such as Malone trying to seduce Kobe's beautiful wife, no one can prove whether it really happened, or Zen Master Too much trust in these old guys caused instability in the team. After all, during the halftime break of the third finals, there was news of internal strife in the Lakers. Old courtiers like Fox and Fisher tried to Let Zen master return to the style of play during the three consecutive championships, thus abandoning the core role of Payton and Malone on the field, but this is also a kind of rumor from inside the locker room. No one dares to stand in front of the media and shout loudly, so no People really know what's behind these things.

But what you can’t deny is how effective the Pistons’ method of cutting the entire Lakers offensive line is. Although they don’t have absolute superstars, what these guys have is a powerful offensive and defensive system, and they can use multiple people to run. The opponent's defense line can use their strong body to defend their own defense zone, just like these Miami lunatics on the field today, they have the courage to fight to the death.

What is a soft knife?The Miami people are now dealing with the Cavaliers with soft knives. They just slowly and gradually opened up the score. They don't have any violent attacks like a storm, and the Filipinos definitely don't expect to kill these Clevelands directly with a stick. So he has only one requirement for his players before he goes on the court, don't think about how to quickly open the score, what the whole team has to do now is to stabilize their emotions, fight the opponent to the end bit by bit, and attack completely according to their own To implement the tactical intention, the defense must block the scoring points other than O'Neal and the little emperor, just like what the Pistons did when they dealt with the Lakers. Give the opponent a chance to score, but don't give them hope of victory.

Now O'Neal on the field may be repeating the feeling he had in the 03-04 season finals. Although he has already scored a double-double, this may be the first half since the last few dozen games. Although the little emperor has almost scored 30 points, what he can see is that the gap between the Cavaliers and the Heat is getting stronger and stronger. big difference.

Except for the little emperor and O'Neal, the rest of them only contributed 10 points, but the scoring opportunities they wasted have already made people feel numb. The Cavaliers couldn't find any one among so many scorers. Carrying the third scoring point, except for Jamison's sudden burst of shots at the end of the first quarter, they couldn't find anyone who could score in the first half, the only one who contributed the remaining two points , it turned out to be West who was tortured by Wade and Iverson for almost 10 minutes. I really don’t know if he was fooled by the two-pointer. It took five shots before it was changed back. Such a wonderful scoring efficiency is really speechless.

That's right, the current little emperor's scoring ability on the court may be more terrifying than Kobe in that finals. If he continues to play like this, he may score [-] points or more on the court, but O'Neal beside him has already It's not the most powerful shark back then, and the rest of those guys are even more bleak than those scorers of the Lakers back then. There are very few opportunities for the ball, and a few forced shots can only be exchanged for constant strikes or embarrassing scenes of non-stick.

Now no one can stand up and say that he can take over the game. The entire Cavaliers offense can only be held in the hands of the little emperor. During the 2 minutes of his rest, the entire team fell into a scoring drought. In 2 minutes, the Miamis scored a total of 6 points, while the Clevelands didn't count for one point. They also sent two turnovers in vain, and they were all unforced idiot mistakes.

And the highest scorer of the Miami Heat now is Iverson who stood up from the bench. He used the impact of the second quarter to score 11 points and 3 steals. Their most active big man on the court is Wade The combined score of the two is only 16 points, but they sent out 10 assists together, but the Miami's full-court offense is no longer what the Clevelands can defend. Lin Yi's high-level support drives the entire team .

Everyone can score, everyone can have a chance to shoot. The Miami Heat now rely on the strength of all players to control the game. Each of them stares at their target in defense, and then surrounds Lin when they attack. From one point to the next, he began to run wildly, either to open up enough gaps for his teammates to break through, or to directly create a suitable open scoring opportunity for himself under the cover of his teammates' pick-and-roll. This is Miami. The soft knife wielded by people on the field may not be so sharp, but it is deadly enough.

15 minutes isn't enough time to recharge a tired Cleveland, but those Miami guys have already lit the battle flames, and they are waiting for the second half duel with the Clevelands on the court. These tough guys can't give the Cavaliers much. Taking a break, when the Cleveland team was about to kick off at halftime, West, who was preparing to serve from the bottom line on his own side, almost failed to send the ball smoothly within the specified time, because those fierce Miami people, already The craziest full-court press began. Their battle will start from this half.

Mike Brown may still be looking forward to finding the Miamis' flaws from the slow pace of the first half, but now the Filipino obviously won't give him this chance again. At the beginning of the second half, these crazy Miamis They began to scramble all over the court, whether it was in the Clevelanders' half or their own, physical confrontation became the only main theme, and they were deliberately pursuing such physical contact.

Even Big Ben at the rim started pulling O'Neal into a confrontation. It was obvious that Spoelstra changed his tactics at halftime. They have only one request. In the third quarter, they will use a more powerful way to defeat those knights who want to win the game, and use a large-scale confrontation to force the little emperor to exert his strength in this quarter. .

Don't let the opponent have a last chance to fight. Spoelstra doesn't want to let the opponent have enough energy to drag the game into the fourth quarter for a duel. If you want the game to end suspense earlier, then the best way is to Started a crazy press, disrupted the opponent's rhythm, and made their newly recovered bodies start to tire again. The Miamis needed to hold the Clevelands in this way, and they could not give these Cavaliers a chance to rest.

"Give him enough gaps to break through, but don't make his scoring too easy. From this quarter on, let the Cavaliers become LeBron James' one-man show!" What the Filipino said in the midfield is so straightforward Bai, two opponents scored in the first two quarters, so from this quarter on, no one will be given a chance to easily score points. Even O'Neal will let him enter a scoring dormancy state.

You can let go of the stalking of the little emperor, but you must always keep him playing at a high speed. You can't let these Clevelands find the feeling of scoring on the court, and you can't let these guys recover from the cold touch. Come here and grab it!This is the choice of the Filipino. He has the capital to implement such an extreme tactical arrangement. The leading score, the control of the court, and the abundant physical strength of his players are all the advantages that the Filipino can rely on now. Lin Yi has enough breathing room in this confrontation, so why not let everyone go crazy in this quarter.

Squeezing, pushing, entanglement between limbs, this is the situation that the big shark is facing now, maybe he has been in this way in more than ten years of NBA life, but now the pressure brought by Big Ben is this The shark has no way to settle it. He can only put all his energy on competing with the opponent for the position. The purpose is not to score, but to pick up the dropped rebound. The score has now become the shark extravagant hope.

I don’t know if it was because the ten minutes of the intermission made Shark’s hands cold. After the opening, he failed to score in two singles, and he couldn’t even grab a favorable shooting position. Those crazy The Miami guys have been interfering with him, and the Cleveland guys are really starting to rely on the little emperor to score alone. This is a really fucking bad situation for those Cleveland guys.

The little emperor's scoring show continued crazily. He wiped Millsap's defense time and time again, and crazily charged the Miami defense, but the Cavaliers behind him could only look at the back of this strong leader , They couldn't even provide even a little help to this tough guy, everyone was enjoying this kind of performance like a spectator, maybe those guys also understood that this was not their game.

When LeBron James scored No. 40 points from the basket at the American Airlines Arena, the third quarter was over, and the only thing the little emperor could do with his headband soaked in sweat was panting Grossly, he looked at the score on the scoreboard blankly, 84:66, the red game is not only dazzling, but it has deeply penetrated into the heart of the little emperor. At this moment, the darling of the Cavaliers Can only feel alone.

This night, he could only endure this kind of loneliness. . .
