0161: [Uncontrollable]
Backbite!
The whistle blew for the second half.
The Heat fielded a second team of Dug, Haslem, Dorrell Wright, Daquin Cook, and Marcus Banks.
Spoelstra was undoubtedly a risky move.
Generally speaking, the NBA's player rotation rules ignore the foul factor, and the first round basically occurs in the seventh or eighth minute of the first quarter, when there will basically be one or even two substitutes, and then as the game gradually transitions to two starters leading three substitutes, or even one starter leading four substitutes.
The second quarter continued the lineup at the end of the first quarter for two to three minutes, and then began to switch to full benches, entering the rotation between substitutes and substitutes. At this time, it is basically the world of bench players, and if it is not beaten into a sieve by the opponent, there will be basically no changes. It wasn't until the last two or three minutes that the starters were gradually replaced.
At the beginning of the second half, return to the starting lineup for the first quarter. Of course, if a starter plays particularly badly in the game, or if the substitute plays exceptionally well in rotation time. It's going to change, too.
However, the Super Sixth Man doesn't follow this rotation pattern. They started playing at the end of the first quarter and continued their playing time until the end of the third quarter, when they came to the first rotation after halftime before going to rest.
At this time, players will basically be affected by the number of fouls, and the number of rotations will also increase. In the fourth quarter, the speed of the rotation will even expand to every two minutes.
Tonight, Spoelstra broke that pattern.
Because he found that the team didn't have a real tactical sixth man, and that Dugg was teaming up with Wade to lead the tempo, he pushed back the rotation from the first two minutes of the second quarter to the last three minutes.
In addition, Snoopy expressed his willingness to be a super sixth man to himself at halftime. So, he decided to put the idea of putting the main players on the field to set the stage for the start of the second half, and instead let Snoopy lead the second team to take on the opponents.
In fact, Mike Woodson was also unconventional at this point. He didn't change the full starting line-up either. The central striker is still Zhazapachulia, who has covered Josh Smith well, and he is undoubtedly taller and thicker than Erhoffd, a sophomore.
Although his movement speed and offensive ability are not as good as Horford's, Josh Smith has repeatedly applied to McWoodson. Pachuglia is a perfect fit for my style of play, and if he plays, he can help me easily block the opposition in the penalty area, and even if Snoopy is on the pitch, he can't climb the European mountain.
With McHaywood's affection for Josh Smith and his confidence in becoming the 'next Eagle King'. So... The Atlanta Hawks' second-half starting lineup became: Mike Bibby, Morris Evans, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams and Pachulia.
"So... The current situation is: Has Haslem become the Heat's on-court commander and Josh Smith has become the Hawks' core? ”
Earl Johnson questioned from the commentary box.
"Josh Smith is at the heart of the Eagles, there's no doubt about it. But... The heart of Miami doesn't have to be Haslem. ”
Kenny Smith had a vague feeling that Snoopy was more suitable to be the leader of the Heat's second lineup, but... He doesn't have the ability to score. For the Super Sixth Man, grabbing points is the most important task.
Pat Riley, who was sitting in the VIP box, actually appreciated Spoelstra's decision to change the rotation pattern.
But he thinks Spoelstra is not thoughtful, even stupid.
After all, Snoopy almost shoved Daquin Cook's head into the trash on his first day of training camp. He then intervenes in the fight between Michael Beasley and Sean Marion, although he makes it clear that he is not with Beasley. But... The UNLV team still regards him as an enemy.
So, in this lineup, there are actually only... Haslem is friendly to Snoopy.
It's a-tasting and mouth-wrenching decision.
Having Snoopy lead the second team is smart and can quickly improve his leadership skills, but you can never expect a rookie to dominate the 'dissidents' like Michael Jordan.
Pat Riley muttered inwardly, "Even if you put Chris Quinn on the court."
At this time, the boss of Mickey next to him said seriously: "Actually... Marcus Banks has some ability to steal points, and with his strong stature and resolute play, he is the most suitable player to play as the team's sixth man. Of course, the premise is to change the incompatibility between him and Dwyane Wade. ”
Pat Riley smiled and nodded, not retorting to his face.
In fact, in his mind, Marcus Banks is the seventh or eighth man on the team. Although he is big, he doesn't have the defensive ability to match. And although he has a certain projection ability, but... He can't pass the ball, or he has very poor passing vision, and he can't open up space at all... Complete the quick transfer of basketball.
So, after the start of the game.
Dugg was reduced to an inside coolie, and Marcus Banks shot in the outside incarnation, occasionally giving captain Haslem a pass in a good mood. The other players did not fall into his eyes at all.
Fortunately, his hit rate is not bad, and it can be maintained at about forty percent.
Coupled with Dugg rushing to grab the rebound in the front court under the basket, the two sides played a tie.
Because of the five players of the Atlanta Hawks, except for Bibby, who has an average level of individual autonomous offensive ability, the other four are all 'feeding the ball'.
As a result, Josh Smith had to bite the bullet and cut inside.
His first cut was a success.
Snoopy was really blocked by Zazapachulia and hit an easy layup of his own.
This ball gave him a lot of courage and self-confidence.
So, when he heard Snoopy complain to the referee and look back at the camera, he walked over and said disdainfully: "Why are you chirping crookedly like a?" If you can't break through the cover, it only means that you are not as good as others? Do you think everyone is going to be superstitious that your balls are harder than the shot put? ”
When Duge heard this, he immediately put away his thoughts and continued to complain: Regarding this misjudgment, I must use the actual block to tell these arrogant referees who are full of prejudice against rookies: If I didn't secretly clamp my arm behind me, how could they stop me?
Therefore, he walked to the front with an indifferent expression.
Then he watched as Marcus Banks forced a jumper from beyond the three-point line, before he even had time to jam the restricted area.
His mood was extremely depressed.
It was the first time he felt like he was out of control of the game: because everyone wasn't going through the normal basketball mindset anymore. When he stuck Zazapachulia under the basket, Daquin Cook would even rush in at the same time as Dorrell Wright, just for a rebound. As a result, he gave up the basketball in the scramble, and the Atlanta Hawks took away the frontcourt rebounds for nothing, and all his efforts were in vain.
And Marcus Banks, he doesn't even have the concept of passing in his mind, he shoots when he gets the ball when he has the opportunity, and he forces it when he doesn't have the opportunity. And the offensive logic doesn't care about the position of teammates and the operation of tactics at all.
"I've said a long time ago that Snoopy should go to a strong team with a complete playbook, and he's going to be the best team basketball executor. But in Miami, he's always a lone ranger, even if he's a true team player. Kenny Smith re-emphasized in the TNT live room.
And, he was also reassuring Snoopy: "As a rookie, you must be prepared to be ignored by the referee." This is a necessary process, and you must adjust your mentality. ”
Meanwhile, Josh Smith received a basket in the bottom left corner, shook off Dorrell Wright with an acceleration, and headed straight for the restricted area!
