NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 172 Confidence to compete for the championship

Curry came over with the ball.

Using Bogut as a wall to block it, everyone thought he was going to break through.

result.

He stepped back directly.

Raising your hand means three points.

The shot speed is very fast.

Even before PJ Tucker could react, Curry completed the shot.

but.

There is no use being quick.

The fans at the scene were greeted with a bang.

Marcus Morris protected the rebound and found Xue Liancheng immediately.

The Heat ran wild.

But it was no use, the Warriors retreated very quickly.

Xue Liancheng could only slow down the speed and let the team fall into a positional battle.

Waved for Gasol to come up for the pick-and-roll.

this time.

As soon as Xue Liancheng went around, Thompson and Bogut immediately formed a flanking situation, and they stopped letting him unleash their firepower unscrupulously.

But when the two men came towards him, he had already anticipated it and gently threw it back.

Gasol, who was in the high post, took off without hesitation after receiving the ball.

Two points.

Go in again.

12:0

This time.

Cole, who had his hands crossed on the sidelines, was a little uneasy. The smile on his face had gradually disappeared, and his eyes looking at Xue Liancheng were a little more sharp.

But forcing the king is forcing the king, even for this sake, he can still hold his breath.

Off-site attack and defense.

Curry dribbled the ball over.

Then two steps away from the three-point line.

Sudden.

Just cum.

That's right.

Raising his hand is a super long three-pointer.

Since the start, Curry has contributed two fine shots and two turnovers.

If anyone else had shot like this, the head coach on the sidelines would have been furious.

But put it on Curry.

It seems that all members of the Warriors took it for granted, what they should do or what they should do, Cole on the sidelines just subconsciously held his breath, and did not react too much.

next second.

Swish!

The sound is very crisp.

Xue Liancheng couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and he couldn't help but have a very bad premonition.

Is this going to be open to elementary school students?

Once primary school students open it, it will be very exciting!

After receiving the serve from Marcus Morris, Xue Liancheng calmed down and continued to advance quickly.

Anyway, did the elementary school students open it?

He needs to do it all at his own pace.

Come to the front court.

Gasol no longer left the paint, but circled at the top of the arc, seeming to have realized that Xue Liancheng needed space to attack.

Batum interspersed with Marcus Morris at the same time, and suddenly hit an off-ball screen in the paint.

Batum blocked the egg chaser.

then.

Marcus Morris suddenly reversed and ran into the penalty area.

Xue Liancheng raised his hand and passed the ball.

The two successfully completed the alley-oop.

14:3

The score difference is still big enough.

But Xue Liancheng does not believe that the Heat have an absolute advantage.

After all, once the Splash Brothers throw away, it will be very scary, and they can recover 10 in minutes.

Off-site attack and defense.

Curry and Green pick and roll, hand to hand, then pick and roll again.

Form a defense directly.

Curry faced Marcus Morris and adjusted his rhythm.

then.

Suddenly retreated and hit a three-pointer.

this moment.

Not to mention other people, even Xue Liancheng couldn't help but feel excited.

of course.

Others in the Heat were surprised that Curry was acting like this.

How can you play ball like this?

This kind of shot is simply unreasonable.

Just bite the bullet and cum...

This is so...

It's simply incomprehensible.

Xue Liancheng voted away because he was worried about primary school students.

It is clear.

Sometimes the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

Swish!

The sound is equally crisp!

This time.

It's Marcus Morris' turn to be dumbfounded.

What is this ghost?

Even if Curry retreated far away, he had already pounced on and reached out to interfere.

result.

This kind of long shot is a super long shot against people.

Can actually enter.

Incredible.

And Xue Liancheng lamented in his heart, the primary school student really opened it...

But there was nothing he could do.

You can't block or defend this kind of ball.

It's just so arrogant, so rogue...

What can I do?

I can only calm down and sort out my offense.

Look back.

Xue Liancheng continued to press the ball past halftime.

Choose to force Klay Thompson again.

This time the Warriors attacked very resolutely, and Xue Liancheng quickly passed the ball to Marcus Morris on the wing.

The latter shot from a high position.

Not this time.

The Warriors are crazy about the underground fast attack, and the speed is very fast.

The Heat's recent offensive and defensive tempo is also very fast, so the speed of retreat is not slow.

result.

Curry dribbles to the top of the arc.

Yang again.

Still fighting Marcus Morris Young.

Swish!

Hit again!

I'm crazy...

Marcus Morris' mentality collapsed.

The whole person looked confused.

The expressions of the rest of the Heat also changed.

It is really……

Incredible.

The most important thing is that this kind of three-point shot gives people psychological pressure and is extremely fatal.

Just imagine.

The Heat worked hard to score 14 points, scoring a total of 6 goals and two free throws.

And what about the Warriors?

Only a few goals scored so far?

Just three.

Three three-pointers.

That's right.

It’s these three three-pointers from Curry.

And it was a continuous investment.

That's 9 points.

At 14:9, the score difference suddenly narrowed to a controllable range.

It is conceivable how serious this kind of goal is to the psychological devastation of defensive players.

It is this kind of unreasonable goal that makes the defender's psychological defense easily collapse.

How to cast how there is.

Who the hell can bear this?

This……

This is the secret code for the Golden State Warriors to dominate the league. The continuous rain of three-pointers can easily destroy a team's confidence.

Xue Liancheng had expected this, but the impact was not that big.

But it was still enough to make his hair stand on end.

He finally realized the fear that comes from three-point shooting.

In the past, when I watched elementary school students play, I felt like they were throwing hard and then scoring hard. It was fun to watch, but I didn’t have any personal experience.

Now, as an opponent, on the court in person, he finally felt the breath of despair spreading.

next round.

Xue Liancheng came over with the ball.

The Warriors directly attacked in advance.

He had no choice but to play the ball.

But at this time, Gasol's three-pointer was equal to nothing, and he didn't dare to take it at all.

To Batum who cut in.

Batum's mid-range drift didn't either...

After Chasing Egg Green took off the rebound, he started running desperately.

After coming to the frontcourt.

After giving the ball to Barnes, he took advantage of the situation to help block people.

Barnes also made a three-pointer.

Swish!

There are also.

14:12

This moment.

The Heat's scalps exploded.

What the hell is going on?

Only conceded two goals.

After only missing two goals, he was immediately chased by 2 points.

Really devastating!

Seeing that something was wrong, Spoelstra quickly called a timeout. When he returned to the court to get the tactical board, his entire face was completely black.

On the other side, King Cole just bent the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, as if everything was under control.

That's right!

The forced king succeeded in pretending again.

The existence of Curry and Thompson is the confidence that Kerr can be 10+ points behind without calling a timeout.

In just a few rounds, the 10-point gap was about to be wiped out in an instant.

This scoring explosion would make anyone shudder.

Spoelstra: "Their three-pointers are very accurate. I said before the game that everything is expected, and we just need to walk according to our own rhythm."

After a pause, Spoel continued, "The offensive arrangement is still the same as in the past. Mark, you come to respond, and Batum, you are ready to respond. If the Warriors attack Xue in advance, then Mark needs to pay attention to his position. Come on." To the three-point line, it belongs to your attack range, I need you to be able to shoot immediately after receiving the ball."

Marc Gasol nodded repeatedly, "Understood."

Spoelstra continued, "On the defensive end, we need to make some changes. We also attack Stephen in advance. Everyone is close to the defense. The speed of the defense must be fast. Wherever there is a shortage, we need to make up for it. Everyone reacts faster, and Mark, you still have to You need to pay extra attention to the basket, this is your area, I believe you can protect it well."

Marc Gasol nodded again, "No problem."

Spoelstra encouraged: "Okay, boys, cheer up. We have the best defensive player in the league and the best point guard in the league. You just need to do your job well. I believe we will definitely succeed." Can win.”

These words are still useful.

Xue Liancheng has now grown into the team's anchor. As long as he is around, everyone will feel confident.

What's more.

They have another top center who can protect them.

Ok……

That is to say, the bottom line.

Finally, Si Bo turned to look at Xue Liancheng, "Xue, do you have anything else to add?"

Xue Liancheng slowly turned his head and looked at PJ Tucker, "Give Stephen more physical confrontation, adopt a full-court press, and guard the whole court. Even if Stephen goes to the bathroom to smoke, you have to squat there and keep giving him Pressure and drain him of energy, then we will succeed.”

Do you know how Tyronn Lue defended Curry?

It is to use a full-court press method to keep Curry in physical confrontation. As long as Curry gets the ball, regardless of whether Curry shoots or not, he will definitely choose to attack from a flank.

Anyway, Curry cannot be given an opportunity to shoot easily.

PJ Tucker's body trembled slightly, and he stretched out his hand to signal, "My question, next, I will keep staring at him throughout the audience."

He was indeed negligent just now and did not give Curry much physical confrontation at all. He was not even ready for Curry to shoot when he was two or three steps outside the three-point line.

Now they really need to escalate the confrontation.

The game starts again.

After Xue Liancheng got the ball, he stood at the top of the arc for a while, naturally to observe who would come up to flank him later and who he needed to pass the ball to.

After roughly forming a prediction in my mind.

He initiates a breakthrough.

When it was about to reach the top of the arc, Chasing Egg Green really came up.

Xue Liancheng did not rush to pass the ball, but dribbled the ball with his hips and continued to rush to the other side.

Gasol, who was left short, went straight down.

After Xue Liancheng confirmed that Chasing Egg Green and Gasol were at a safe distance, he shouted, "Mark..."

Then throw the ball out.

Gasol faced the rushing Barnes and shot with a straight arm without any hesitation.

Also hit.

And look back.

Curry wanted to control the ball, but was directly pressed by Tucker.

After stumbling all the way, he finally dribbled the ball across half the court. The primary school boy couldn't hold himself any longer and gave the ball to Chasing Green.

Then start running without the ball.

Tucker remembered Xue Liancheng's instructions and pursued him desperately.

As soon as you catch up, make physical contact immediately.

Anyway, it is when Curry is not allowed to have any ease.

The ball was passed by Chaser Greene and ended by Bogut.

But Gasol's best defensive player is not blocked.

He just stood close to the person, raised his hands, and leaned against Bogut without making any unnecessary movements.

Bogut spun around and could only use a small hook he hadn't used in years.

no doubt.

The iron is struck.

Today's Bogut doesn't have the demeanor of the No. pick back then.

In the Warriors, in addition to picking and rolling, his job is to eat the cake, and the most important thing is to cover the defense at the basket.

The means of attack have deteriorated beyond recognition.

Off-site attack and defense.

The Warriors once again attacked early.

Xue Liancheng still chose to give it to Gasol Jr., who faced the attacking supplementary defense and immediately gave it to Tucker who was in the open.

A three-point shot from the corner.

Also hit!

Warriors attack.

After the off-ball movement screen, Curry once again took the ball at the top of the arc and went straight to the basket.

Small cast.

There are also.

Heat offense.

Xue Liancheng did not pass to Gasol, but passed to Marcus Morris who broke into the basket.

Bogut couldn't keep up.

I can only watch Marcus running to the basket.

From this point of view, Marcus and he have formed a certain tacit understanding.

But Marcus Morris' shortcomings are still obvious.

The pace is too slow, and the physical fitness is not strong enough. If it were Ibaka, their cooperation should be better, and he would have more space to pass the ball.

Look back.

Thompson, who had been silent for a long time, finally took action.

He also made mid-range shots.

Heat offense.

This time.

The Warriors no longer dare to attack in advance.

Xue Liancheng felt a little happy, this showed the importance of Marc Gasol.

As a central supporter, Gasol's threat lies here, he can shoot, and he can accurately pass the ball to other teammates.

in this way.

The Warriors didn't dare to attack him so unscrupulously, and even now they have given up on attacking him in advance.

If it were Bosh, it would be difficult.

Because Bosh's first reaction when he got the ball was always thinking of doing it alone, and he didn't have the passing awareness and passing skills, so he missed many opportunities to pass the ball to open teammates.

That's like saying.

The effect of the opponent's flank attack on him was very successful.

Once his ball is no longer a threat, he can directly declare his organizational passing to be useless.

There have been many occasions in the past where this was the case, which made Xue Liancheng miserable.

and so.

Trading for Gasol is definitely an extremely correct choice.

Completely liberated him.

At the same time, he shattered other teams' attempts to attack him.

Then.

Once other teams dare not flank him, as long as the ball is in his hands, his threat will become infinitely greater.

This is another great significance of this transaction.

What's more.

Gasol's quality of defense and pick-and-roll coverage is really not comparable to Bosh.

In addition to his strong singles ability and great three-point threat, Bosh cannot be compared with Gasol in other aspects.

Concentrate your thoughts.

Xue Liancheng started, completed the pick-and-roll with Gasol again, and directly passed Klay Thompson.

However, the Warriors' pressing king, Cole, is still very smart. Now he uses Chasing Green to defend Gasol, which causes him to go behind the pick-and-roll.

The player to face was replaced by Green.

Green's mobility and speed are definitely not comparable to Bogut's.

But how can I say that Gasol's pick-and-roll quality is good.

After the pick and roll.

After being able to open up the space immediately, he took advantage of the trend.

Thompson is chasing Xue Liancheng.

So it caused Green to lose sight of the other.

Are you trying to block Xue Liancheng?

Or go after Gasol?

In such a swing.

Xue Liancheng has already released the ball and passed it to Gasol.

The latter made a small throw against Bogut with ease.

Hit again.

This time Cole immediately called a timeout and took down Bogut.

Obviously.

The current situation on the court has become clear. Bogut originally played little role on the offensive end, but now he has become a negative asset on the defensive end.

Of course, you can't stay on the field.

Replacement person.

No surprise, it's Iguodala.

Spoelstra also boldly made adjustments and replaced Ibaka with better mobility and better defense.

The person who ended up was Marcus Morris.

Xue Liancheng had to sigh, the old mentor's reaction was so fast.

If they continue to keep Marcus Morris on the court, they will face the punishment of the Warriors' fast break and pass-cutting.

If Ibaka plays, it will be relatively better.

Because the speed of this product is not slow, especially before it is closed, even though it is an insider, the speed is quite fast.

Even after taking the blocking injection, his speed is much faster than Marcus Morris.

The result was indeed as expected.

The Warriors are very aggressive in passing and cutting.

Fortunately, there are two masters of frame protection, Gasol and Ibaka.

This caused the Warriors' passing and cutting effect to plummet.

Coupled with the temporary shutdown of the three-pointer, the Warriors' offense became very difficult. Except for the occasional two fast breaks of defensive counterattacks, in the positional battle, the Warriors basically had no way to take the Heat.

On the other hand, look at the Heat.

Because of Xue Liancheng's absolute influence, teammates often have many opportunities, and their shooting efficiency is naturally much better than that of the Warriors.

The score was opened bit by bit again.

End of first quarter.

The Heat finally led the Warriors by 33:24, a full 9 points.

This shows that the Heat's defensive strategy and offensive tactical arrangements are correct.

This is the significance of the arrival of Gasol and Ibaka.

Really improved the Heat's offensive and defensive level.

at this point.

Xue Liancheng knows it deeply, especially the improvement on the defensive end, which is really visible to the naked eye.

It was common for his defense to be breached in the past. At that time, the Heat didn't have many ways to deal with it, and the most they could do was assist defense and interfere.

And now.

With Gasol and Ibaka teaming up to guard the paint, he no longer has any worries.

Once he is surprised, he doesn't even have to worry about his opponent and can safely attack the one who escapes.

As for the opponent player who breaks into the penalty area, Gasol and Ibaka will take care of it.

This is the greatest liberation for him.

Perfectly making up for his fatal flaw in defending the colander.

If they get along well and cooperate well, coupled with the return of Uncle Wei, Xue Liancheng really believes that they will definitely achieve great things this season.

You can even make a bold statement.

They are not afraid of anyone.

That's right!

They are fearless against any other team in the league.

This is what it takes to win the championship.
