NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 269 Immediate results!

The game starts again.

Warriors attack.

The pick-and-roll screen for Curry came as expected.

Green held the ball at the top of the arc, and then Curry kept circling Green.

When it turned to the second lap, Green and Curry completed the hand-in-hand, and then Green took a big step and blocked Xue Liancheng.

Curry took the opportunity to retreat, and Ibaka rushed to pounce, but it was obviously too late and the distance was a bit far. Curry completed the shot in a semi-open position.

pity.

nor……

Haotian, who was in great form before, doesn't seem to be doing so well this time.

After PJ Tucker grabbed the rebound.

The Heat pushed the fast break again.

However, the Warriors also have a small lineup of five and retreat quickly, and the Heat do not have many opportunities.

Xue Liancheng took the ball and observed it at the top of the arc, but did not act rashly.

The teammates were moving in an intricate manner, seemingly disorganized, with no tactics at all.

Sudden.

When Batum and Ibaka interspersed, the latter screened for the former, and Batum took the opportunity to sneak back and go straight to the basket.

Xue Liancheng was dribbling, and he threw the ball over with a raised hand.

Batum caught the ball and completed a dunk.

15:0

Cole's face turned dark at this time.

There was also a faint sense of oppression at the scene, making the entire arena extremely dull.

Starting at 15:0, this game was really disappointing.

You know, we are now 2:3 behind, standing on the edge of a cliff.

They also had a home court, and they originally expected the team to go all out and win another victory, evening the score to 3:3, and heading into the final tiebreaker.

Many people even believe that they can win the tiebreaker and become the first team in history to complete a comeback after falling behind 1:3 in the finals.

As a result, just a few minutes after the opening, they were given a blow to the head.

Not a single goal was scored…

Now let alone making history, whether we can qualify for the tiebreaker is a huge question.

Because if this trend continues, it will get colder.

There is no tie-break at all...

There’s no bullshit about making history…

How could they not be depressed and silent?

It's just so depressing.

It was like an invisible hand was holding their hearts.

next round.

Iguodala made a layup and finally got it.

The hanging heart finally relaxed a little.

But they were not happy.

Because in the next round.

PJ Tucker received a pass from Xue Liancheng and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

And it's a sure hit.

It seems to feel pretty good.

You know, since the Eastern Conference Finals, PJ Tucker has not been very stable, especially the three-pointer, which has been stable in three games.

Many times it is the object of short selling.

But now, he scored three points.

This is definitely not good news for the Warriors.

Originally, the Warriors' defensive strategy was to double-team when Xue Liancheng broke through. Once double-teamed, one person would definitely leak out.

And the person who leaked out was either PJ Tucker or Wade.

Wade is the Heat's main attacker. Many times Xue Liancheng will move and let Wade break through.

As a result, the only person left who can really let go is PJ Tucker.

Now PJ Tucker scored a three-pointer, which directly disrupted their defense.

This means that they cannot let go of PJ Tucker rashly, and the Heat's offensive space will be infinitely expanded.

Next round.

The problem of the Warriors' defensive disarray was highlighted.

Xue Liancheng and Wade continued pick-and-rolls, and then Wade rushed in with the ball.

The Warriors could only use a light assist defense, which was a harassing assist defense. Although Wade had problems with his knees, he was still somewhat confident in a single confrontation.

Fight in.

The basket hits again.

20:2

Not even halfway through the first quarter, the score difference was stretched to 18 points, allowing the Heat to score an unprecedented 20 points.

Cole went crazy and immediately called a timeout.

Come on.

Cole roared, "Where are your operations, unlimited defense changes, unlimited assist defense, and unlimited supplementary defense?"

The warrior generals did not dare to breathe, and were also a little confused.

They thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why suddenly, the Heat seemed to have transformed, and everyone's touch was extremely explosive.

And they themselves, so far, have only scored one goal, which is simply incredible.

In the end what happened?

And soon, Cole gave the answer, "Stephen, you have to find a way to get rid of Xue Liancheng, we need your firepower support."

This is why the Warriors are in trouble right now.

Xue Liancheng contained Curry and prevented Curry from taking a good chance. Since the beginning, he has not taken many shots, which is equivalent to their offensive engine stalling.

This sap hit caught them off guard, their heads were buzzing, and they were unable to adjust.

This resulted in their offense not being able to open up.

Green dealt the cards, and the threat was gone.

Thompson's defensive pressure increased in vain.

The air cuts of Iguodala and Barnes are of no use.

In one sentence, the Warriors' offensive threat is gone.

The root lies here in Curry.

Cole continued, "And you, you have to adjust your mentality. Don't always think about letting Stephen connect the ball to create opportunities for you. You all have to take action, relieve your dependence on Stephen, and play how you want."

Everyone slowly realized.

They finally understood the crux of the problem, which was that they relied too much on Curry to create space.

Once Curry fails to create space, they become unable to play.

This is actually a matter of mentality, not state or anything else.

They must correct themselves in time before they can unleash their offensive firepower.

After a pause, Cole continued, "This is the offensive end. Let me talk about the defensive end. When Xue Liancheng and Wade break through, they must be flanked to prevent them from scoring easily. This strategy was decided early on. It must not change. Even if others make a shot, we cannot waver. I just want to see how many shots they can make..."

"Of course, assisting defense and supplementary defense must also be quick. Everyone must rotate. Unlimited defense changes are our advantage. We must not give up."

This time.

It turned out to be quite fruitful.

Warriors attack.

They finally stopped relying on Curry and started running on their own.

Thompson, Iguodala, and Barnes connected, and finally the latter made a backhand layup.

The bleeding finally stopped.

20:4

Off-site attack and defense.

They implemented the tactics laid out by Cole and flanked Wade or Xue Liancheng when they broke through with the ball.

Once someone is missed, they will quickly and infinitely switch defenses, assist in defense, and supplement defense. They will implement the tactics to the end and try to block the space where people are missed.

of course.

Even if it can't be blocked, it doesn't matter, let you vote.

Entered.

Then admit it.

What they are betting on is that the Heat's other role players will miss three-pointers or miss shots.

Cole really made the right bet.

Batum hit a three-pointer.

Next.

The offenses of both sides quickly returned to normal.

The Heat are not so accurate either.

On the Warriors' side, it's not that bad.

The first quarter ended in a stalemate like this.

The Heat still lead the Warriors by 36 points at 22:14.

This is an acceptable margin for both sides.

For the Heat, this point difference is not small, enough to give them a certain psychological advantage and not have such a great sense of urgency.

after all.

It's impossible for them to really hold the Warriors scoreless.

For the Warriors, the 14-point difference is not much. If they want to catch up, they can catch up quickly as soon as the touch comes.

Most importantly, they can finally take a breather.

The commentator of this game concluded, "Cole still has his own tricks. Even after being beaten 20:2, he did not lose his composure and quickly stabilized the morale of the army. This is worthy of praise."

Commentator: "But I think the person who deserves the most praise is Spoelstra. He actually used Xue Liancheng to defend Curry, and it played an unexpected role. This courage is extraordinary."

The commentator agreed: "Yes, as a two-time champion coach, Spoelstra's ability to adjust is obvious to all. He showed us Riley's legendary temperament."

Commentator: "I have to say here that Xue Liancheng is really good at guarding against runs. Everyone in the league far underestimates his defensive ability. Spoelstra does have a way of training players."

The two flattered Spo wildly.

I don't know.

This adjustment was made by Xue Liancheng himself, and because of his good defense, it had nothing to do with training. It was entirely due to his golden thighs.

And even if he strives to lead and defend Curry, Spoelstra is still not very relieved.

If Curry had made two goals in the opening game, nothing would have happened.

Spoelstra's adjustment ability is indeed good, but it is not as amazing as imagined. Otherwise, the Heat would not be so miserable and suffered a severe beating from the Spurs last season.

Based on the strength of the Big Three of James, Wade, and Bosh, it stands to reason that they should have a chance to compete with the Spurs.

result……

There is no fighting back.

The problem doesn't just lie with the players, the coach also has a big problem.

However... Spoelstra will still show a certain ability in the future, leading the Heat to the finals twice, especially as a black eight, running all the way to the finals.

It's really impressive.

Section 2.

<divclass="contentadv">Xue Liancheng came down to rest, and the Heat's challenge came.

Wade's finishing ability has declined due to knee problems. With a group of substitutes, he is worried about whether the Heat's offensive firepower can keep up during this period.

result.

His worries were obviously unnecessary.

The performance of Chalmers and Marcus Morris was okay. Although Wade's finishing ability has declined, he only breaks through and does not shoot. He can also use his breakthrough ability to create some space for his teammates.

The fight with the Warriors' bench was back and forth.

In the end, it was Cole who couldn't stand it anymore and switched to the full lineup in advance.

This time he stopped pretending.

of course.

The most important thing is that there is no capital to show off.

The Warriors were trailing by more than ten points, and they were trailing 2:3. Their one foot was already hanging over the abyss, and there was nowhere left to waste.

They must go all out and use up every last bullet.

Replacing all the main players was their determination.

Curry also took advantage of these two rounds to finally perform.

Made a three-pointer.

The ball caught the ball and hit the ball on the bottom.

Scored 5 points in a row.

but……

Due to Curry's performance in the first quarter, he made 3 of 0 shots and scored 2 points on free throws.

So even if he scored two goals, Curry's overall performance was not very good. He scored 5 points on 2 of 7 shots, but only had one assist.

Quite miserable.

You know, in the Warriors' tactical system, Curry's ability to connect the ball and assist his teammates with sudden points is also a great skill. He averages 7.8 assists per game and is by no means an ordinary player.

He only sent one assist in this game, which shows that Curry was very isolated and basically did not create many opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, he also lost himself on the offensive end.

Seeing that something was wrong, Si Bo quickly asked Xue Liancheng to come back early.

The effect is immediate.

Curry once again ran out to catch the ball, but was caught up by Xue Liancheng in an instant. Curry took two steps and suddenly retreated.

He pulled it out directly and attacked Xue Liancheng.

No more.

6-of-2 from the field.

And Xue Liancheng's return not only has an immediate effect on Curry's defense on the defensive end, but also has an immediate effect on the offensive end.

He rushes in to catch the ball, attracts the defense, and throws high to assist Ibaka to complete the small throw on the other side.

The Heat once again stabilized their position.

Then, the fighting between the two sides was very fierce for a while.

No one can score, no one can break the situation for the team.

Xue Liancheng did not activate the 16% hit skill because the team was still points ahead.

It’s the warriors who should be anxious.

He didn't panic at all.

In the end, Thompson stepped forward and hit a three-pointer to open up the situation for the team.

Strange to say.

Seeing the Warriors' touch coming, the Heat seemed to have found the feeling.

Xue Liancheng once again used the sudden connection to tear up the space.

But this time he passed the ball outside, and the person he passed it to was Batum, who was missed.

Batum lived up to expectations and finally made a three-pointer.

Look back.

Not to be outdone, Iguodala also scored a three-pointer.

Off-site attack and defense.

This time the Heat is gone.

After passing the ball for a while, he failed to move out of position in the end. Wade squeezed the time and made a strong shot.

It may indeed be affected by the knee, so the bias is a bit outrageous.

Look back.

Thompson is at it again.

Use the pick-and-roll to run back.

Just catch the ball and shoot.

Another three-pointer.

The scene finally responded, everyone was excited, stood up and cheered.

Narrator: "Oh my God, is Thompson coming?"

Commentator: "The Warriors' offensive firepower is indeed fierce. They scored three consecutive points. No one can withstand it. The Warriors' momentum is rising..."

The 16-point difference was instantly pulled to 10 points.

This kind of offensive firepower is the familiar Golden State Warriors.

And the premise of all this was accomplished without Curry recovering.

If Curry plays normally, it will really kill someone every minute.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xue Liancheng turned around and decided to do it himself.

After halftime, he made a habitual observation.

No opportunity found.

Only then did he motion for PJ Tucker to come up.

That's right.

He wanted to name Curry again.

Because according to the original deployment, what they have to do is to continue to consume Curry, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.

They played too smoothly before and were far ahead. Naturally, there was no need to forcefully change the offensive rhythm.

But it's different now.

The offensive end has entered a bottleneck period, and he must follow the original plan and also consume Curry on the offensive end.

of course.

The most important thing is that Curry is also the best player in the Warriors.

Adjust the rhythm.

Pull over.

After P.J. Tucker blocked the man, he pulled directly to the other side of the three-point line and maintained a catching posture.

The Warriors didn't dare to let go and directly switched defenses.

Iguodala goes to stare at PJ Tucker.

Curry stared at Xue Liancheng.

And this is the effect Xue Liancheng wants.

Pull back again.

Debug the rhythm again.

Press Curry and take two steps.

Then suddenly pull back.

Then press it from the other side.

The continuous violent impacts made Curry's steps obviously disordered.

And Xue Liancheng was at this time.

Retreat suddenly.

Starting from three points.

Curry failed to adjust in time, and when he pounced, the interference was relatively limited.

But for Xue Liancheng, the impact is still there. After all, there is no 15% hit rate bonus. This is the biggest impact.

However, he still took action resolutely.

The moment he took action, his feeling came over and he did not activate the 100% hit skill.

Swish!

Three points.

The fans who had stood up and cheered suddenly fell silent.

All silent.

On the other hand, the Heat bench stood up to celebrate.

This ball is very critical.

Because the Warriors' consecutive three-pointers have narrowed the point difference to 10 points. If the Heat miss this round, the Warriors have a chance to narrow the point difference to single digits.

Single-digit and double-digit points difference are two completely different concepts.

It has a huge impact on the morale of both sides, the impact on the court, and the excitement of the players.

Entering a single-digit point difference, that is a safe area, and the Warriors can completely complete a true counterattack with a wave of flow.

Now Xue Liancheng made this three-pointer, bringing the point difference back to 13 points, directly extinguishing the Warriors' counterattack momentum.

That's what this three points is about.

It particularly boosts morale and interrupts the Warriors' ferocious momentum.

The commentator was amazed again and again: "Xue Liancheng's key abilities have never disappointed anyone, they are so strong."

Commentator: "Indeed, the Heat very much need someone to stand up at this time, and Xue Liancheng, as the star of Miami, has lived up to expectations. The morale this ball brings is immeasurable."

Commentator: "Xue Liancheng has repeatedly performed like this at critical moments. I have to say that he deserves to be the best in the league this season."

This is the first time this season that the commentator has marveled at Xue Liancheng.

The main thing is that scoring goals at critical moments is particularly inspiring and makes people excited.

Tough enough, strong enough, awesome enough!

The game continues.

Look back.

Curry once again used the screen to run out of position, but because there was a gap to catch the ball, Xue Liancheng had a chance to catch up.

And Curry didn't care.

Step back and make another strong shot.

In fact, this season Curry has frequently made such unexpected shots. Not only forced shots, but also sudden shots two steps away from the three-point line.

At first everyone felt it was very unreasonable.

But as Curry makes more and more shots like this, the shock is extremely huge. Is there anything reasonable or unreasonable?

This is the origin of Haotian.

As long as Stephen Curry takes a shot, there is nothing unreasonable.

And this time.

Curry didn't have such good luck and hit the iron again.

7 out of 2, the feel of this game doesn’t look very good!

This gave all the audience at the scene a bad feeling.

If Curry fails to open, then...

Is there any hope for them?
