I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 47 How could it be useless?

In the third preseason game, the Heat met the defending champion Spurs.

Facing the Spurs, who have a balanced offense and defense and almost no weaknesses, the Heat's defensive counterattack, mobility advantage, star one-on-one, pick-and-roll tactics, and side-screen air cuts are not easy to use.

As if falling into a quagmire, he seemed to be struggling.

The Heat's players are full of talent, but facing the seasoned Spurs, the Heat's offensive and defensive system has been dismantled to pieces, naked.

……

On the field.

The Heat shrunk the inside defensively and used mobility to switch defenses infinitely. Bowen took the lead in the corner three-pointer, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and raised his hand for a three-pointer jumper.

This ball was passed by Duncan.

Boom-!
Three points wide.

It's okay, the Spurs still have rebounds, Duncan continued to score the ball, Turkoglu came from the wing with open hands, and made a jumper three-pointer.

Swish-!
Have it.

Outside, the Heat defend or not?
The Heat know that facing the Spurs, a team with a top inside line like Duncan, if they defend, the inside line will be defeated in all likelihood, so it is better to hold on.

However, the Spurs have many players who can shoot three-pointers. Ginobili is also aiming for three-pointers from the outside.

That's right.

That is to lift the ball beyond the three-point line and aim at the basket. He is as smart as Ginobili and knows how to mobilize his opponents.

If the Heat hadn't jumped out, Ginobili, the man who could kill the American Dream Team with his shots, would not be so easy to dismiss.

Swish-!
And hit.

Ginobili made an easy three-pointer and made a precise hit.

At this time, the Spurs are still sitting on the bench with Horry, who can also shoot three-pointers.

If the Heat can persist unwaveringly, Horry probably will come and give it a try.

Of course, shooting a three-pointer is not a killer move after all. How could a team as sophisticated as the Spurs follow the Heat's wishes and just shoot from outside the three-point line?
They also have pick-and-roll tactics, Tony Parker and Duncan, both of them have mid-range shots, pulled to a high position, can the Heat remain indifferent to the outside defense?

If the Heat can't survive, they can also get out of the sheath.

It should take some effort for Ginobili to break through to the inside and score, but the final score will definitely be scored.

In the end, the Heat still expanded their defense, so the Spurs began to frequently lob the ball into the paint.

Slap, swish! !
Duncan hit the board in the low post and got into the basket with precision.

Whoosh.

Ginobili's European step, like a spirit snake, reached the inside and scored like a bag, with ease.

No matter how the Heat defend, the Spurs always have a way to break through the Heat's tortoise shell, and then hammer the Heat's head hard.

Since the defense can't defend, let's fight the offense!

Unfortunately, the Heat team that came out of the attack encountered the strongest part of the Spurs.

defense.

The strongest point of the Spurs is the defensive system.

The Heat will find that they cannot increase their speed and cannot fight back.

The stars are singled out, but it is the most difficult for the Spurs to defend, and it is also the favorite to defend.

Because, in the eyes of the Spurs, a single player cannot beat the Spurs who play team basketball.

Unfortunately, many times, the Spurs lost and lost to the kind of offensive star.

The Heat are currently in the formation, but they don't have such a level of star.

Only the sound of hammering iron still rings in my ears.

Boom-!
……

Boom-!
When the Heat used the most inefficient star to single out to solve the battle, the loss of the game was not far away.

91 to 87! !
Just looking at the score, the Heat only lost by 4 points, but if you watch the game live, you will find the details.

At some point, the main players of the Spurs have been sitting on the bench for a long time.

The reason why the Heat were not slaughtered was not because of their own strength, which was not far from the Spurs, but because the Spurs had a tradition of playing dead.

How could the Spurs be desperate for an unimportant game?

If the Spurs are desperate, there must be a reason and purpose for them to be desperate.

Facing a strong team, the Heat once again exposed their unsystematic offense.

Wade's organizational ability is still unable to master this team, he still needs time.

……

In the preseason game of the fourth game, the Heat met a strong enemy again, and they ran into the Kings, a strong team in the Western Conference.

The Princeton system of the Kings has a gorgeous offense, and its offensive firepower is among the best in the league.

The kings at this time are in the golden generation, and it is very difficult to defeat such a kings team.

The only good news for the Heat is that the king's tactical core, Chris Webber, has not yet returned from injury, and Brad Miller, who has just joined, has replaced him.

Brad Miller's running-in problem with the Princeton system of the Kings is likely to become the key to the Heat's defeat of their opponents.

……

After all, the Kings have one less Chris Webber in the lineup, and they look very strong.

Point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Doug Christie, small forward Peyton Stojakovic, power forward Brad Miller, center Verati Divac.

On the bench, although the name of the bench undercover is a bit false, he has been poached by other teams in the past two years.

However, the Kings also have a super sixth man, Bobby Jackson, and their combat power cannot be weak.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings attacked first, and after only the first offense, the Heat discovered that maybe they had no chance of winning this game.

Brad Miller pulls up high and catches Bibby's handoff.

Stojakovic saw that Stojakovic cut into the inside line on the left, and then used Christie on the right to run backwards, getting rid of Ye Feng's defense.

Directly use a pass without looking at people, and distribute the basketball to Stojakovic on the left.

Swish-!
The basketball draws an arch in the air.

With a knife in his hand, Stojakovic did not miss his shot and accurately sent the basketball into the basket.

The Princeton system offense of the Kings did not appear to be in any trouble because of the absence of Chris Webber, and it was operating as usual.

The Heat's counterattack and individual duels played smoothly, and they fought against the Kings offensively. It seemed that the Heat had the strength to fight the Kings.

In fact, this is just an illusion.

The Kings have never been good on defense, and their real strength is in offense.

The Kings relied on the Princeton system. They got a lot of open shots, a lot of direct baskets, and easy shots.

The Heat, on the other hand, have to face the Kings' defensive players. Although their defensive players and defensive ability, except for Christie's level, other players are not up to the mark.

But how could it be useless?Even a pair of underwear and a piece of toilet paper have their uses.

What's more, a Kings player, just standing on the court, no matter how strong the Heat player's physical talent is, no matter how good the offensive state is, there will always be times when he misses.

At this time, compared to the Heat's offense, the Kings are nothing more than shooting open shots.

In the end, the Heat's offensive firepower, as long as they can't keep up with the Kings, will immediately be opened up.

119 to 106! !
The Heat lost Game 13 of the preseason in a [-]-point loss to the Kings.

After four games, the Heat's record is 1 win and 3 losses.

The only thing the Heat can only sigh is, why are the opponents they encounter so strong?
The Kings, Spurs, and Nets, whether they can win or not, are all championship-level teams.

Now the Heat are just a newly formed team, how can they beat a championship-level team?
……

Fortunately, the Heat will face a weaker opponent next.

In the fifth game, the Heat played against the Suns.

This?
Which opponent is called weak?
Last season, the Suns ranked No.6 in the Western Conference in the regular season. They played back and forth with the Spurs in the playoffs. In the end, they lost the game 2-4.

Their strength is definitely not weak.

However, they are really not strong in the West, at most they are only a playoff-level team.

If the eastern team is called a strong team, at most it can only mean that the eastern team is a rookie, and none of them can play.

In all fairness, the current lineup of this Suns team is very similar to that of the Heat, and it is also full of talents.

Point guard Marbury, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Hardaway, power forward Marion, center Stoudemire.

It can't be said to be very strong, it can only be said to be very strong.

The current starting lineup is simply an all-star lineup.

Of course, the current Joe Johnson is only a second-year rookie, and there is still a long way to go before the future Eagle King.

Stoudemire, the ninth rookie in 02, is just the best rookie of the previous year. He is only one Nash away from the future bully.

Facing the Suns with such cards, the Heat actually suppressed their opponents.

The Suns didn't play run-and-gun tactics, but actually liked to play positions. Under the tactical system of head coach Frank Johnson, they struggled.

On one side, D'Antoni, looking at Marbury, ignoring other teammates, was completely empty. Instead, facing the Heat's defensive pincers, he buried his head and broke through to the basket, shaking his head.

However, Marbury is really strong!
In the face of the Heat's mobile defense, the powerful Marbury was able to score points.

Wade's defense, in front of him, is completely like paper.

only…

The only thing that makes Marbury dissatisfied is that he has already scored 20 points.

As a result, the Suns fell behind in the score.

In his heart, he could only feel very upset, the Suns' configuration was too poor.

Teammates are completely useless!

He felt that he was too tired, and he couldn't move this mediocre Suns team.

98 to 93! !
The Heat finally won by 5 points in a thrilling manner.

The reason why it is called thrilling is because in the second half, the Suns started running and bombing.

If it weren't for the main players on both sides, most of whom were resting on the bench, the Suns are likely to reverse the final game.

The Heat beat the Suns, ended their two-game losing streak, and won the second game of the preseason.
