The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 192 Refusing to Lose Streak
For the other events of the All-Star Weekend, no one from the Heat signed up to participate.

The team's mind is still on the official game. Back to Miami, they have no time to rest, and directly accept the challenge of the Celtics to play back-to-back.

The Celtics aim to rebuild, they only dumped people in the summer, they didn't reinforce at all, and of course their record wasn't good either.

The Heat used James as the core of their tactics, which can be described as an easy start.

The Celtics also have no defense masters inside, and Jeff Green is still slow to defend James.

The Heat made great progress all the way, because the opponent restricted James to switch defenses, Zhang Xiaotian was also a beneficiary, and got some good opportunities on the outside.

This is already the norm. The Heat's first and fourth juniors have been used for so long, and many teams still don't adapt, or they can't change what they are good at for some opponents.

However, Celtics coach Brad Stevens is a thoughtful coach, and some rookies and low-salary players can also play well in his hands.

The main lineup was suppressed, and he immediately made a large number of substitutions.

During the rotation period, the Celtics played significantly more dynamic.

This has nothing to do with the player's ability, but the reason for the tactical system.

The role players of the Heat are used to playing with the giants. It is definitely not possible for them to play team basketball like college, and the Celtics do not have players of that level this season. Brad Stevens can easily put His tactics carried on.

Which tactic is better is a matter for the beholder to see the benevolent and the wise.

Tactics are only a part, and the players who execute the tactics are the key. There is no best tactic, only the most suitable tactic. .

Tactics can determine the lower limit of the team, but the upper limit of the team must be supported by talented players.

Relatively speaking, the Heat's style of play in the league is the mainstream.

Saving energy is only one aspect. The NBA is a place that needs to produce results quickly. More importantly, when the game reaches a critical moment, it is basically star time.

This is determined by ability. In the professional league where the data record represents the US dollar, not all players are capable of taking responsibility for the decisive moment.

It was not the first time that the Heat lost points during the rotation period, but the main lineup left a double-digit advantage, so at the end of the first half, they still held an 11-point lead.

It's just that in the second half, the Celtics suddenly became enlightened.

In other words, they have become more fierce, and the key is still on the rebounds. The Heat lost backcourt rebounds time and time again, and the gap between the two teams has gradually narrowed.

Every time he made a mistake, Bosh had to take the blame again, and he didn't grab a single rebound.

Bosh, this buddy is always very extreme on the court, but fortunately, his shooting touch is still good.

At the closest, the Celtics caught up with only 2 points.

But in the last quarter, their style of play was not effective. Although they still went inside, the effect of the Heat's shrinking defense was not good.

They also have a disadvantage in implementing team tactics, that is, there are no pure three-point shooters on the outside.

And at the end of the quarter, they don't have a strong leader to stand up, and the result will become very sad.

Zhang Xiaotian and James joined forces, and the game quickly lost its suspense.

The head coach was also relieved after winning the game, and the team once again avoided losing streak.

Two days earlier, the Heat also made a small deal, sending the soy sauce party Joel Anthony out for a third point guard, which saved some dollars by the way.

As for the problem of rebounding inside, there is no way, this is something that small transactions cannot do.

Now count on Greg Oden to play a little role, although it seems that the role he can play now will not be great.

If this buddy hangs up again, the Heat will probably have to take a small amount of money to sign somewhere. After all, apart from Oden, the Heat have only Chris Anderson at the center position, and there will be no emergency help if there is a problem.

However, their tactical decision is that nothing is a problem inside, and it is enough to store a group of shooters for James.

The past few days have been playing away games, and the Heat will enjoy a period of time at home during this time.

Don't underestimate the difference between home and away games. It's much more comfortable to stay at home and wait for work. Zhang Xiaotian doesn't like to go to away games anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to save time on the road with his wife.

On January 1, the team that came to Miami was the Lakers.

Kobe was selected as an All-Star starter by the fans while he was recovering from his injuries. This kind of love is the envy of all players.

However, the Lakers' results must be kneeling. The team's No. 1 scorer turned out to be a substitute with a basic salary, and there was no one else in the league.

Of course, Yang Shaoxia has shown a talent for scoring, and his salary will increase next season.

It's good to work in the NBA, and any increase will definitely be in units of millions of dollars.

Therefore, athletes should work hard and play less. The improvement of strength is a lot of money. If you want to play, you will have a lot of time after retirement. Zhang Xiaotian thinks very clearly.

There were problems with consecutive rebounds. In yesterday's training, Spoelstra was also earnest.

James also felt ashamed, and went to talk to Bosh during training.

In the team, James and Wade have a close relationship, and there are a bunch of younger brothers. Usually, the relationship with Bosh is just average.

So James put on the airs of the boss, and Bosh was a little depressed.

After talking about the Big Three, why is he living like a supporting role now.

Bosh also took the opportunity to bring up the issue of possession of the ball, but James didn't think there was a problem at all. He said very positively, buddy, you just need to shoot more. Be firm in the fight, and he passed the ball.

The two talked on different channels for half an hour, and finally reached a consensus.

This kind of thing belongs to the category of the team leader, and Zhang Xiaotian has no part in it.

But in this game, James and Bosh are much more active in rebounding.

It may also be because the opponent is the Lakers. Although Pau Gasol is a very comprehensive insider, it is a bit difficult to rely on him alone to support both offense and defense.

It is also rare for the Heat to take the lead by relying on rebounding advantages at the beginning, but when it comes to the rotation period, they suffer again, with a double-digit lead, even if it is said to be even.

Greg Oden also showed his rebounding ability again, grabbing offensive rebounds consecutively, but his physical condition still made the team very worried.

In addition, Bosh increased the shot.

Bosh still has strength, and he is not afraid to face Gasol, and he scored in double figures in the first half.

Zhang Xiaotian is very envious of being able to score points given a chance. It may take a long time for him to reach this level.

The Heat easily led by 11 points in the first half, showing the demeanor of a strong team.

But the Lakers also reacted after the halftime break. They put more energy on the rebounds. To win this game, the Heat cannot take it lightly.
