Chapter 161 The Great Victory
When he saw that James had broken through to the free throw line, Yang Ke ran over immediately, and together with Leonard, they carried out a close double attack on James!

In the tough double-teaming of the two, James stagnated in place in an instant, and the attack was blocked. Since Leonard and Yang Ke both had long arms, James could only turn around and support them with his back, and his hands were tightly clamped. Hold the basketball and hang it under his crotch.

call!
As a veteran, James knows that he can't just go on like this, but under the double-team, his passing vision is limited, and it is very difficult to pass the basketball accurately.

In desperation, James jumped up and turned around, and while he was in the air, he vaguely found Chalmers.

Finding that he was in an open position at this time, he was overjoyed. Before falling, James waved his arms vigorously and forcibly distributed the ball!
On the other side, seeing James pass the ball out, Green, who was already in the stealing position, started first, and directly steals it while the basketball is still flying towards Chalmers!
Pretty!

Seeing that his teammate completed the steal, Yang Ke immediately stepped down and ran straight to the frontcourt. Because of his fast speed, he even reached the Heat's three-point line in the half of the court earlier than Green, who launched a fast break. outside.

Standing outside the three-point line, there was no need for Yang Ke to signal. When he saw that he was already in the offensive position, Green threw the ball over without any pause.

Reaching out to catch the ball, Yang Ke didn't choose to rush to the basket even though the inside line was extremely wide. Instead, after aiming at the basket, he confidently chose a three-pointer and made a successful hit!The point difference narrowed to 7 points.

"Not bad!"

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Popovich clapped his hands very satisfied. The two-person pinch can not only effectively restrict players who play with their bodies, but also block the sight of offensive players.Force him to make jump passes.

In this way, since the receiver is almost clear, the route of the pass is completely exposed to the eyes of the defensive players. As long as a player occupies a good position in advance, the ball can be intercepted very easily.

This is the most targeted of the defensive tactics: the combination of "double attack" and "steal the ball"!This defensive system was conceived by Popovich specifically to deal with the Heat!
"Do you double-team?!"

Looking at the situation on the court, Spoelstra frowned, lowered his head and meditated, facing the double-team defense, passing the ball more and picking and rolling is undoubtedly the best solution.

But the problem is that the Heat don't have a stable shooter, even if they pass the ball, it's useless if they can't make a shot.As for the pick-and-roll tactics, the Heat have never practiced it, and it is useless to use it easily.

I couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, which made Spoelstra feel very tricky. If this continues, the team will easily lose.Now, we can only look forward to the performance of the giant stars!
Once again, James took the ball over. This time James didn't easily break through with the ball, but just controlled the ball and walked back and forth outside the three-point line.

With a gloomy old face, James knew very well that as long as he chose to break through, two people on the opposite side would definitely double-team him.After a few seconds, James tentatively stretched out his arms, signaling Haslem to come out and cover himself.

Watching James' small movements, Leonard turned his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Haslem who was slowly pulling out, and Duncan who followed him out.

A moment later, seeing that Haslem had blocked Leonard with his body, James then made an air cut and tried to take the opportunity to kill inside.

But the seasoned Duncan didn't give him a chance at all. He directly misplaced and tightly delayed James. He stretched his arms and carried James all the way into the inside, making him unable to shoot.On the other side, Leonard quickly bypassed the screen and teamed up with Duncan to double-team James.

In just an instant, a human wall formed in front of James again, and this time he was completely trapped in the quagmire, in a dilemma!Faced with this situation, James tried to pass the ball to Haslim who cut to the basket.

But the experienced Duncan has been using his huge body to firmly block the passing route, and Leonard stretches out his hand to interfere from time to time.

In the end, James failed to pass the ball, so he could only slip to the baseline and barely make a shot. With a "bang!", the basketball was rejected by the basket as expected.

"mine!"

Opening his mouth wide, Split let out a rage, and kicked his legs under Bosh's strong position.Splitter jumped up vigorously, waved his arms, and firmly protected the defensive rebound.

Yang Ke took the ball from Split hand-to-hand, and immediately ran with his head muffled. Since Popovich is asking to speed up the offensive rhythm, let's go fast!

Keeping running through the midfield at full speed, Yang Ke frowned as he looked at Wade who was closely following him not far away. He didn't want someone to follow up after launching a fast break.

With a move in his heart, while running at high speed, when the basketball bounced and touched his palm again, Yang Ke directly threw the ball forward for a certain distance.

Afterwards, the rhythm of his feet accelerated instantly, and Yang Ke quickly followed the basketball at his fastest speed. Anyone who has played basketball knows that.

The same player has a huge difference in speed with the ball in his hand and without the ball in his hand, and Yang Ke also took advantage of this, by throwing the ball in advance, so that his speed can be maximized instantly.

The movement of the whole body was not large. Yang Ke ran quickly in a straight line, pursuing the speed to the extreme. Two seconds later, there was already a distance of one meter between Wade and Yang Ke.

Regaining control of the basketball, Yang Ke broke into the inside line like an explosion, took two big strides, and went directly to the basket. Holding the basketball in his right hand, he easily sent the ball into the net!The point difference came to five points!

Because of the tactical advantages, the balance of victory gradually favored the Spurs, and in the next game, the Spurs fully demonstrated the demeanor of the league's first tactical literacy team, and implemented the defensive strategy ordered by Popovich to the extreme.

The outside line is guarded by a single soldier, and the defense line is shrunk to block the inside line. Once the Heat players use the screen to hold the ball and enter the penalty area, they will immediately encircle them, making it difficult for them to get a shot.Especially Wade and James, if necessary, they even sent three players to double-team.

At the same time, Yang Ke and Leonard on the two wings actively ran to intercept the passing route, trying to avoid missing the Heat's outside shooters as much as possible.

As the Heat hit the iron again and again with three-pointers, under the leadership of Yang Ke and Duncan, the Spurs seized the opportunity to win the game in one fell swoop!

At the end of the game, the Spurs beat the Heat 102:80. Under the double-teaming of the Spurs, James, the core of the Heat's tactics, was very awkward in both shooting and passing.
