Chapter 503: Change of Tactics (Part II)
"James!"
Coach Van Gundy immediately followed Qin Yang's train of thought and said.
The two defensive coaches looked at each other and nodded.
"This tactic is okay, the Heat team seems to be the Big Three, but the core of this season is James, he has the most balls and the best passes, as long as he is restricted, Dwyane Wade alone has nothing to do with the overall situation, without Shaq O'Neal, he can't win the championship alone."
The other referee said.
At the beginning, Wade performed in the finals, won the championship with O'Neal, and when he fell behind in the final quarter, he scored consecutive points and reversed the game directly.
A lot of people are boasting about Wade's ability to lead the team.
In fact, the Heat's defense was very strong at that time, and there was Shaq O'Neal at the end of his prime, so Wade could turn the game around and win the championship.
If James is locked up, Wade alone will not be able to win.
That's the sadness of a pure scorer.
Even Kobe Bryant has a hard time getting into the playoffs when he doesn't have a helper.
"Okay, then let's plan our tactics and seize the time to conduct tactical drills." Coach Van Gundy made the final decision.
It's hard to say whether this tactic will work or not.
But after winning the first game, there is still a long time to adjust, and even if you lose the second game, it doesn't matter the big picture.
Before the home game, a 1-1 draw would have been expected by coach Van Gundy.
In fact, against the Heat's Big Three, a 1-1 draw on the road is already a very good result.
In the afternoon tactical training, the adjustment of the team for the next game was very obvious.
Rudy Gay and Klay Thompson have been treated with the focus of Coach Van Gundy, and the only goal for each to play is to lock up James.
Regardless of the others.
Wade vacancy?
Don't switch defenses, let him shoot.
Locking James is victory.
Cosby and Grant Hill have also been given opportunities and will play more in the next game, and the two will make their own contributions on the offensive end.
Even Hassan Whiteside will play more minutes in the next game.
Desperately training veterans, that's not Coach Van Gundy's style.
The Kings made adjustments, and no one knew about it.
……
Heat's training ground.
Coach Spoelstra was still training his players, while Pat Riley stood in the distance, watching the Big Three exchange ideas.
Wade and James stand together.
"LeBron, I think we should make a change, play more aggressively, and work a little bit more with each other."
Wade whispered.
James nodded: "I'm worried about making mistakes and giving the other side a chance, but if we don't play more together, this series will be difficult to play, and this year is our best chance to win the championship." ”
James had a good grasp of the situation.
In the first game, although the Heat team lost, it was a strange loss, and in terms of the battle situation, the Heat team did not lose.
In the end, Qin Yang's performance has not been encountered for ten years, and when he encounters it, he can only consider himself unlucky.
That said, there is a good chance that the Heat will win the championship in this series.
If you don't win the championship, you're a failure.
The Big Three were at their peak, and they were knocked down by the Mavericks in the first year, and lost to the newly established Kings in the second year.
This Nima is a joke.
James was under a lot of pressure.
Wade is relatively more pure and thinks less.
But the desire to win is not at all small.
The two were on the training ground and began to conduct tactical drills, not to mention the coordination of running and passing between the two. The two most impactful suspect superstars are in a team, and it is actually very simple to share the ball, but how to cooperate well is not easy for the two.
……
Both teams are walking and preparing.
Coach Pat Riley turned around and went back to the office, sitting in the office looking at the data of the last game, Pat Riley couldn't help but sigh when he saw Qin Yang's performance.
Jingle bells!
The phone rang, and Pat Riley picked it up.
"Hello, this is Pat Riley."
"Mr. Pat, here's a confidential piece of information about the Kings, I think you'll be interested." On the other end of the line, a voice rang with excitement and eagerness.
"Oh, what's the news?"
Pat Riley asked casually, seemingly unconcerned.
"About Seattle and the Kings, this news, I want half a million dollars, I think for an NBA championship, half a million is not high, what do you think, Mr. Pat Riley."
"Okay, but I need more details."
Pat Riley hesitated for a moment, then replied.
"Of course, it would be a wise choice."
On June 2, in the second game of the Finals, the Kings faced the Heat away.
Before the game, during the interview, the Heat were united.
James:
"We're ready, we're going to win this game, and we don't have any way back, and for the Heat, no championship is a failure."
Wade: "We're going to give our best and defend our home honours. ”
Bosh: "The last game was just an accident, and we will establish the advantage early in this game and will not give Bruce any chance to turn around. ”
……
But when the Kings were interviewed, they were at peace.
Coach Van Gundy: "The last game was not very convincing, so we decided to change our tactics in this game and hopefully it will bring us a new change. ”
Qin Yang:
"I think it's going to be a good performance and only God knows if it's going to win or lose."
……
The game begins.
But when the starting lineup appeared on the court, the commentators were shocked because the Kings starting lineup changed so much today.
Qin Yang, Ray Allen, Klay Thompson, Darko and Cousins start.
Compared to the previous game, the lineup of Francisco Garcia and Rudi Gay, this starting defense is weaker.
Kenny Smith:
"There's something special about this starter, and if the Kings don't do well on the defensive end, there's a good chance they'll be beaten through the perimeter by James and Wade."
Charles Barkley:
"Yes, with such a lineup, the Kings' perimeter is obviously much weaker on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the Kings are also strong, and this is an opportunity."
"I think the Heat are going to win, can you bet it?"
"Thirty dollars, I bet on the Kings to win?"
"Why not $10,000, I think I have more confidence in the Heat."
"Kenny, you're going to teach bad boys that gambling isn't a good thing."
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith talk about cross talk, and the game begins.
On the first ball, Cousins still had no suspense to jump the ball, and Bosh tried hard to jump the ball, but there was absolutely a bounce gap, and there was nothing to do.
Qin Yang held the ball, and after dribbling past half court, Klay Thompson came up as a cover.
After covering, Qin Yang broke through directly.
Wade stepped forward to assist in the defense, Qin Yang slowly dribbled, pretending to break through the inside line, and then changed the rhythm and shot directly from the middle distance.
Forty-five degrees in the middle distance.
Wade jumped a step slower.
On the first goal, Qin Yang scored as steadily as a dog.
