Chapter 316 New Defensive Tactics

The Heat eliminated the Hornets with a score of 4-0. Although many people in the outside world did not expect it, in the Heat team, everyone felt that it was reasonable.

In this series, Lin Hao averaged 16 points and 4.5 steals per game.

It doesn't seem very good in this way, but Lin Hao's average playing time is only 23 minutes per game, and his efficiency is the highest in the team.

More importantly, Lin Hao's net rating of +15 points with the presence of Lin Hao speaks for itself.

At this time, the Heat's next opponent will be decided between the Pacers and the Raptors. Now the big score is 2-2, and it is inextricably divided. It is estimated that there will be 7 games.

This allows the Heat to have a full week to adjust and further run-in.

On the second day back in Miami, Eric called everyone to the arena.

"I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first round of the competition." Eric said at this time, concluding and praising.

"But this is only the first step. Next, we have the second round, the regional finals, and even the finals." Eric roared.

When Eric talked about the finals, the eyes of most players flickered.

Yes, most people in the team now believe that they can beat the Cavaliers with the top three picks and No.1 James in active service.

"I know what you are thinking, but I must tell you seriously today that we have only one goal this year, and that is the championship." Eric said forcefully.

When Eric said the goal of the championship, everyone except Lin Hao and Wade was dumbfounded.

"If you believe in me, in this team, and in yourself, the 2016 championship is right in front of you and within reach." Eric said with his hands behind his back.

Lin Hao also secretly admired Eric, this is the difference between a good coach and an ordinary coach.

Putting aside the on-the-spot tactical changes and contingencies, the ability to mobilize and motivate players outside the game alone is not at the same level.

Every great coach is a great speaker.This sentence is really true.

"However, we are still unable to win the championship trophy." Eric continued.

"So, we need new tactics. From today until the moment before we win the championship, we will not be easy."

"In the heavy playoffs, we have to train and train again for all the extra rest time, can we do it?" Eric glanced at the crowd and shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Everyone, even Wade, the boss, responded loudly.

"OK, now we start training new tactics." Eric said.

"Before we were on the offensive end, we practiced Lin Hao's offensive system without the ball, or the tactics of putting Lin Hao inside."

"And now, what we want to train is the defensive tactics with Lin Hao as the defensive core." Eric set his sights on Lin Hao.

Everyone also looked at Lin Hao, even Lin Hao was stunned, not knowing what Eric wanted to do.

"Lin Hao's defensive ability is obvious to all, and everyone knows it well." Eric said ignoring everyone.

"There are three main defensive strategies." Eric walked to the tactical board.

"The first dislocation defense." Eric picked up the magnet.

"When defending, the point guard and Lin Hao switched defenses in advance, allowing Lin Hao to defend the opponent's point guard."

"And Lin Hao, you have to use your body and wingspan to entangle the opponent, restrict the opponent, and even steal the opponent." Team Eric looked at Lin Hao and said.

I have to say that Eric's professional vision is really outstanding.

In the game against the Hornets, in the first game, Lin Hao's initiative to press the defense was immediately noticed by Eric.

And in the past few days of the game, Eric and the tactical team discussed a suitable defensive tactical system.

"As for the rest, try to form top pressure, try to stand in front or side of the defender, don't let the opponent catch the ball easily, give Lin Hao enough time, and rely on his personal strength to steal."

"Lin Hao should also pay attention at this time. He must be flexible. He must take the initiative to attack, but he must not attack blindly. Blindly trying to steal can easily lead to mistakes." Eric reminded.

"I will." Lin Hao nodded.

"If Dragic, Wade, and Lin Hao are on the court at the same time, once Lin Hao goes to the outside to defend, the two of you will be assigned according to the strength of the opposing players."

"I see." Wade said lightly.

"No problem," Dragic said.

In fact, Dragic and Wade are about the same height, and Wade is slightly better in their defensive ability.

What's more, the defensive styles of the two are different. Dragic plays more steadily, does not lose his position, and rarely steals.

Wade, on the other hand, can play steadily and aggressively.

"The second defensive tactic is to pile up the defense on the strong side." Eric fiddled with the magnet again.

"The strong side accumulates defense, mainly for teams with strong defensive shooting ability."

"Now in the league, small ball tactics are prevalent, and many teams are more or less influenced by the Warriors."

"Even the Cavaliers have a small-ball lineup," Eric explained.

"Since there's strong-side stacking, there's weak-side defense."

"And the task of putting two on the weak side falls on you, Lin Hao." Eric set his sights on Lin Hao again.

Lin Hao also pricked up his ears and focused on listening to Eric's words.

Lin Hao has heard of this strong-side accumulation of defense before, but he has never seen any team that will really implement this tactic.

Because of this defensive tactic, the defensive requirements for the weak side are too high.

No coach would be so bold as to let a player defend on the perimeter.

But Lin Hao didn't expect Eric to propose it when the playoffs were in full swing, and put the trust in his own hands.

There is no doubt that once it works, even facing the Warriors who currently have the league's highest small-ball lineup, they can kill most of the opponent's firepower.

"It's hard to give you the details of this strong-side stacking tactic first, because there are too many detailed things that need to be refined depending on the opponent."

"Wait a minute, this tactic, I'll wait a moment, first practice the basic formation of the three positions."

"Specifically, when we know the specific opponent, our tactical team will give each of you detailed information."

"Lin Hao, your task is the top priority. You must be familiar with the information and offensive habits of almost all the opponent's players."

"In the Eastern Conference finals, we will definitely face the Cavaliers. You have to start watching the video these days. We have sorted it out for you. You can take it back later and let Bob take you to watch it." Eric Said to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao also felt the unprecedented pressure at this time. It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Hao belongs to the whole team and hopes to win the championship.
