946. The Heat's pressing defense! (1st 4K)
James's spinning top turned around and looked at the fans who rarely watched his game for a moment, and he was indeed a head that could be played smart, even if the life was not very detailed, but it was also quite ornamental.
Offense and defense switched, the Grizzlies attacked, Gasol Jr. just sent the ball out, Sun Ce, who received the ball, quickly pouted his ass and resisted Wade, who pounced on the defense all over the court, Wade failed to rush and slowly retreated.
Sun Ce cautiously dribbled to the frontcourt, James and Wade followed closely Sun Ce and Paul George, the two pressed the defense of the whole court, although they did not directly stick up, but the two beast-like guys were about to press up at any time, which brought a great sense of pressure to the ball holder.
Sun Ce had already felt this feeling twice last season, and he had already been mentally prepared, and he didn't encounter a pressing defense and rushed to pass the ball, otherwise he was pounced on by Wade when he received the serve just now, and it was the obvious "sneak attack", which was thrown to Paul George in a hurry.
The reason why Janway went up to save instead of James, who is more suitable for defending Sun Ce, is because they want to scare Sun Ce to pass the ball out, so that Paul George, who is not so good at controlling the ball, can control the ball, and James has a better chance to steal.
After arriving at the frontcourt, the defense of Sun Ce changed back to James, Sun Ce encountered a rough defense as soon as he approached the three-point line, Sun Ce didn't care about face at all, pouted sideways to avoid James' hand, Randolph pulled out to help Sun Ce block James, Sun Ce turned back, and broke into the middle distance by turning around, and Bosh followed.
Bosh's defense is also good, but the template is Garnett, who can't defend the inside, but he has a good set of anti-blocking and pick-and-rolling.
Sun Ce made a mid-range jumper to meet Bosh's pounce...... Miss!
James immediately turned around to stop Randolph who wanted to rush inside, and Bosh retracted to grab the defensive rebound, but was stopped by Gasol Jr., who was unable to rush and run back! Wade picked up the defensive rebound.
Wade wanted to fight back, Sun Ce went up and followed closely, James was pushed by Randolph and failed to start at the first time, but James was still very fierce, rushed to the front court to attract Randolph and Paul George double attack, Gasol Jr. has retreated to the basket Wade was followed by Sun Ce, and he will face Gasol Jr. and Sun Ce's front and back strikes, noticing the position and movement of his teammates and opponents, he chose to pass, and the long pass was hoisted to Chalmers, who had just run outside the left three-point line.
Chalmers received the ball and made a three-point shot, Klay Thompson made up for it, and the interference came!
Chalmers' three-point miss!
The ball smashed into the frame and bounced out quickly, and Gasol Jr. blocked Joel Anthony as he rushed in, but the ball was more out of the way, and Bosh, who was released by Klay Thompson, pounced on to grab the offensive rebound...... A player wearing the number 3 jersey flew past him and picked the rebound......
When Wade passed the ball out, Sun Ce had a contraction movement, and when Chalmers was forced to lean back and throw the ball out, Sun Ce was immediately ready to grab the rebound, be prepared, and take the rebound away in front of Bosh first.
The Heat are pressing all over the court!
Sun Ce won the defensive rebound, and James pressed up.
The Heat's pressing defense is really strong, because there is no inside line to guard the basket, the Heat's defense is very leaky, so they chose to go to the front with a sword, and the five positions of the pressure ability are good, using ferocious physical confrontation and quick changes to force the opponent to make a choice.
Under the defense of the Heat team, Sun Ce doesn't have a good way, the opponent's defense is good, the physical confrontation is big, and if you want your teammates to fall into the low position and slowly chisel, you have to have that time to wait for your teammates to fall into the good position, but just to deal with James's defense, so that Sun Ce can't be distracted, and there is no way to wait for Randolph to fall into the low position, so he can only launch a blocking and demolition attack immediately.
And Bosh is good at blocking and dismantling, the short-distance explosion speed is very fast, and the defensive coverage area is really good, Sun Ce does not have the top impact of Bosh like Ross, and the quasi-top collision explosiveness is still a little worse than the confrontation that Bosh pounced on.
After a few rounds, Sun Ce has personally felt how fierce the defense of the league's fourth-lowest scoring team per game is, with the Heat conceding just 92.3 points per game this season, nearly one point higher than their Grizzlies average of 93.2 points per game.
The Grizzlies have the league's best defensive five-man group, but have the fifth-lowest points per game conceded in the league due to their run-and-gun play, limiting opponents to the lowest scoring team is the 76ers' 88.5 points per game, followed by the Celtics at 90.5 and the Bulls at 91.8.
The Grizzlies had a tough start to the game, and Sun Ce felt that the defense of the Janway combination was stronger, more fierce, and better coordinated than the defense of Holiday + Iguodala!
And the defensive end of the Grizzlies' side didn't do so well at the beginning, Gasol Jr. met the Heat's version of All-Out Zhan for the first time, compared to James, who had more obvious flaws last season, James was too strong this season, and there was no player who could really carry James' breakthrough on the front line, the 76ers had Iguodala, the Bulls had Roel Deng, and the Lakers had Artest and Kobe...... The Grizzlies replaced Paul George, Klay Thompson, and Sun Ce's three-person defense, but none of them worked, only Randolph could withstand it, if Randolph was tightly attached, it would not be so easy for James to get up and down, but James would borrow the block and find Klay Thompson or Paul George to play, just like the future Finals in the original time and space to find the block and pick and tear wireless single Curry.
And let James rampage into the inside, Gasol Jr. did not defend well.
Given Gasol Jr. a day or two to think and practice his movements, he may be able to find a way to deal with how it feels like to defend James himself, but this is the first time he has played against James this season, and watching the video is still much worse than feeling it in person.
This season, even Howard, Noah, and Garnett were beaten up when they met James for the first time, and it was only later that they found a way to limit them.
And Wade's side is not a vegetarian, the decline is serious, but this is compared with his own personal peak, in terms of strength, no one on the outside of the Grizzlies can compare to Wade on the offensive end except Sun Ce.
This is a quasi-top-level breakthrough defender!
At 4 minutes and 22 seconds into the first quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout!
5 to 9, 4 points behind!
Nearly 4 and a half minutes, the Grizzlies only scored 5 points, the opponent's score is not high, and it looks like they scored two points in 1 minute, the Grizzlies want to say that the defense is okay, at least they don't let the other side play too many offensive and defensive conversions, Sun Ce and Randolph, Paul George have a good defense of Wade and James' starting speed, which plays a role in making James or Wade fall into a positional battle breakthrough or blocking, forcing the two to consume more physical strength.
But overall, the Grizzlies are very passive, and this kind of defense is also physically exhausting for Klay Thompson and Paul George in the first and second years, and the key is that their side can't score points!
In this case, Coach Hollins also wants to be sideways, running and fighting! You have to try everything......
……
Sun Ce played alongside the lineup of Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jordan Jr.
On the Heat side, a combination of Wade, Maddy, Mike Miller, James, and Bosh played.
Joel Anthony ended with honor, Sun Ce knew the role of Joel Anthony, this short and tonnage guy, with excellent mobility ability, is willing to do any dirty work, no wonder he can get a 3-year contract of 10.5 million US dollars with the Heat.
And the substitution on the Grizzlies' side, even Pat Riley behind the Heat bench was surprised, too daring, played less than 4 and a half minutes at the beginning, the best player on the team like Randolph was directly replaced, since Nash, who had better ball control and passing, came up, and there were three pitchers and an impact player, catching Randolph's low-post ability to keep chiseling how good, simple and direct.
But this is Pat Riley's reverse thinking, and he actually wants the Grizzlies to play like that and keep the tempo low, because the Heat have the fifth-lowest number of shots in the league this season, and they are the team that limits opponents the fewest shots.
Obviously, as a defensive expert, Coach Hollins also saw that the Heat team wanted to press the rhythm, although after falling into the positional battle, the Heat team was forcing the opponent to make quick decisions, but in fact, the rhythm was already very slow, the Heat's full-court pressing defense, the opponent's ball-handling player had to stick to the defense after half the court, and the 24-second offensive time of the opponent's hand-held player was almost halfway past when he reached the three-point line.
That's the Heat's defense!
I don't know how to solve it from the tactical level, and it is not necessarily a good way to have a way, and it is not uncommon for the head coach of an NBA team to make pig-like tactical decisions, and Coach Hollins decisively avoided the possibility of becoming a pig-like coach, just replace the appropriate lineup, and leave the tactical decisions to the players.
Coach Hollins didn't expect that he would one day be the one who wanted to speed up.
After the timeout, under Nash's leadership, the Grizzlies turned on the run-and-gun mode.
If you can't prevent James, then it doesn't matter, Nash and Jordan Jr. pass to Sun Ce in the positional battle by blocking and dismantling, counterattacking, and shoot quickly if they can shoot quickly, and cut in to score if they can cut in, and they have to speed up.
The Heat tried to press the tempo, but Nash's ball control was stable and his passing was good, Wade was useless to defend, and Sun Ce's side was no longer holding the ball, running to reduce physical contact with James.
And James really didn't expect that a team would face them to play a run-and-bomb, the key is that the run-and-run core lineup of Nash + Jordan Jr. + Sun Ce plus two pitchers played very well!
Playing and playing, the Heat team slowly couldn't suppress the rhythm, and they were supposed to retreat quickly after each goal, constantly giving physical contact, but that also made them miss a lot of counterattack opportunities, although they wanted to press the rhythm, but who doesn't want to score easily? Obviously, it was easy to score, and the defense was tight and couldn't prevent it, from 4 minutes and 22 seconds to 8 minutes and 58 seconds, the Grizzlies scored 14 points in less than 5 minutes!
When it came to the Heat's offense again, James saw Klay Thompson retreat directly to the basket to prevent him from shooting from mid-range and long-range, and was hit by the Grizzlies with a wave of 14-11, the score has been chased to 19-20, and the Heat are only 1 point ahead, James chose to try the first three-point of the game......
Miss!
Jordan Jr. and Klay Thompson jammed Wade and Bosh who wanted to rush, and Sun Ce received the defensive rebound, landed and passed it to Nash, and immediately rushed to the frontcourt.
Sun Ce rushed to the front court and received Nash's long pass and stepped into the basket, James retreated very quickly, wanting to come to a chasing hat, Sun Ce shook a shot, James immediately jumped up, Sun Ce got up again, and the overlord buckle was triggered! The bullet speed increased significantly, and before James jumped twice and reached out to block the block, a quick one-handed split dunk smashed into the basket, 21-20, and the Grizzlies overtook by 1 point!
James was also detained!
James didn't know that Sun Ce was feintting just now, but Sun Ce's dunk under the basket was too fierce.
It's not that he has to shake the opponent to trigger the overlord dunk to be a threat to the opponent, except for him, maybe only the American God knows that he has to shake the opponent to trigger.
The opponent's impression of Sun Ce is that he catches the ball and dunks very fiercely under the basket.
Seeing Sun Ce turn around and run back, James immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Wade who ran back, grabbed Jordan Jr. and Klay Thompson to follow up, and Sun Ce was still running back, Wade directly started a fast attack!
At this moment, the Heat team can no longer suppress the rhythm, but the Heat's offensive efficiency has also improved.
Similarly, Nash's strategy was successful, he was about getting the tempo up, cutting down on the confrontation, and taking advantage of Neil, Klay Thompson, and Paul George's shots.
Indeed, tonight fell into a positional battle, they Grizzlies did not take advantage, if it was a series in the playoffs, it would be fine, maybe I could think of how to solve the problem that the front line did not have someone who could carry James, but now it's not a rut, just the existing way to solve this game.
The two teams went on a 12-11 run in the final 2:40 of the first quarter, with the Heat having a really good grasp of two three-pointers, with Maddie and James Jones coming off the bench playing important roles.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored a super high score of 32 draws!
……
Sun Ce returned to the bench, and he was really tired in this quarter of the game!
First, he fought a positional battle, didn't take advantage, and then attacked again, and the Heat team also insisted on defending the oppression for nearly half a quarter, and Sun Ce was against James, which felt too difficult! Fortunately, Mr. Na commanded properly, and Sun Ce worked very hard to cut in or run to catch the ball and shoot, and receive the ball and setter, and only in less than 8 minutes did he smooth out the 4-point difference, and even overtook him for a time.
This game is tougher than you think! James scored 17 points in a single quarter, which is too strong!
If you want to say good news, it is that Bosh played 9 minutes in the first quarter and didn't get a single rebound!
Bosh sitting on the sidelines is going to collapse, every time, every time, every time! As soon as the ball was about to fall on top of his head, someone took it away!
