Chapter 497: Battle of Wits and Strength
Point guards vs. point guards generally suffer losses.
Speed, strength, height, and all aspects suffer.
But Qin Yang plays point guard, so it's different.
I'm not targeting any of the outside of the Alliance, I'm saying you can't stop me at all.
The goal was scored, and Wade's face showed anger.
The Heat attack.
Wade went to the basket, but when he got to the basket he met an offer and passed it to Sean Battier, who shot almost empty.
But the basketball popped out of the frame, and Dakoka got the rebound.
Joint defense force.
Shaun Battier's hand is not so good, although he is known for his career as a 3-and-D player, but on the offensive end, he is not stable.
Kings attack.
This time it was still the same routine, after the cover, Qin Yang received a pass and played against Wade again, only this time, Qin Yang's hand shook, and the basketball was passed out.
Cousins took the ball and turned around to accelerate a dunk.
Haslem looked helpless.
I wanted to pull someone to foul and hesitated.
Cousins' talent is too good, his speed is comparable to that of a defender, his strength is strong, and his ability to protect the basket is strong, and under such conditions, Haslem can't let it go.
The Heat called a timeout.
Sean Battier was substituted and Bosh came on.
After Bosh came on the court, he received a pass from James and made a direct high-post jumper.
Qin Yang misplaced the defense, and the effect was not very good.
When Bosh is in good shape, he is very good, the mid-range jumper and the back-to-back singles are very efficient, and Bosh, who had 25+10+5 data, is a superstar on the inside.
And as a teammate of Wade and James, Bosh sacrificed too much.
The Big Three of the Heat, although James left the Cavaliers, is nominally the boss of the team, and his personal honor is not absent, and Wade is guarding his team and has not left.
Only Bosh, a little embarrassed.
Within the Heat's tactics, Bosh also has a low status.
When Wade and James broke through to the interior to complete the offense, Bosh was just a player who opened up space and couldn't get inside, and could only interfere with outside shots from the middle range.
The tactical position is not high, and the defensive end is crucial.
As a result, Bosh is often used as a backdrop, and his stats are dismal.
In the past two seasons, many fans and pundits have complained that Bosh's rebounding ability is extremely poor, often playing more than 30 minutes and rebounding less than five.
As an insider, this is too unqualified.
But no one pays attention to Bosh's position in the team, how can an inside player have rebounds when he stands outside for 10,000 years.
Wade and James are both big rebounders, and they have to rush for rebounds, and Bosh can open up space. In other words, Bosh stayed on the inside and couldn't get out, Wade and James could only shoot from the outside, which killed the Heat, so tactically speaking, Bosh made the biggest sacrifice.
The Heat finished attacking, and the Kings felt the problem.
First, Darko and Rudy Gay each hit iron once, and then Qin Yang's three-point shot also hit iron.
The same Heat team is helpless.
With Cousins and Darko defending, James and Wade scored easily, and the gap between the two teams only narrowed, but did not widen.
Eight minutes into the first quarter, Qin Yang went down.
Livingston came on the pitch and singled out Mario Chammos for the first ball.
Livingston has an obvious height advantage, turning and jumping after a mid-range back-to-back single, Mario Chammos is helpless defensively, and Livingston scores a goal steadily.
The Heat are attacking strongly.
Wade slid out of the basket for a layup, and Livingston broke through and assisted on a hook shot.
Livingston is still very clever in passing many times, and his template is the same as Qin Yang, Magic Johnson.
As soon as Livingston opened, the Kings started to fire again on the offensive end.
The strength of the Kings is not that one person is strong, but that the overall strength is strong.
Ray Allen made a successful layup, and the Heat panicked.
James went straight to the basket with the ball and hit a mid-range pullup jump shot.
James is not young now, he has been in the league for eight or nine years, and many skills have gradually become proficient, when he first entered the league, James's skills such as back-to-back singles and pull-up jump shots were weak and pitiful, almost relying on invincible physical fitness to attack.
But......
Now James has no problem holding the ball with his back, and his skills such as pull-up jump shots are also decent.
The Kings attacked, Rudy Gay made a layup and slid out of the basket, and Darko made a layup.
The Kings' offense is still relatively solid.
Absolute inside strength suppression, sometimes the effect is obvious.
Bench time, Wade began to explode.
In the face of the Kings' bench, the score difference was slowly widened, which is too speechless, the strength of the Heat team is not only in the starters, but more importantly, in the bench.
Because of the Big Three, the Heat can have two Big Names on the court at any given time.
The strength of the Heat team will be strong in normal games.
Strong is strong, but it's useless.
Wade made four shots in a row, 2-of-4, and two free throws, which was Wade's most consistent performance in this game.
But looking back, misplaced singles.
David West faced Wade and turned his back directly to make a jumper.
The absolute height difference is unreasonable.
On the offensive again, David West passed the ball to Hassan Whiteside, who contributed the only dunk for the Kings in just five minutes of playing time.
Seeing the basketball flying, Whiteside directly and quickly provoked it, and taking the ball in the air was a split dunk.
Haslem was knocked to the ground, looking confused.
In the current games of the Kings, most of them are mainly layups and shots, and rarely dunk, which is all learned from Qin Yang.
But Hassan Whiteside was an accident.
He doesn't know much other than dunks and rebounds.
When he first came on the court, he was very reckless and gave Wade a foul, which made his teammates speechless.
But after playing five minutes off the bench, Hassan Whiteside got three rebounds and a dunk, and his performance was still above the level.
His problem is that the interior defense is disconnected from his teammates, and the quality of the basket and the control of fouls are obviously different.
Bench time, Wade and Bosh exert force.
But the scores of the two teams have increased alternately, and there has been no major change.
At the end of the second quarter, when Qin Yang came on the court again, although the last three-pointer hit the iron, the Kings still led by 4 points.
Halftime break.
Coach Van Gundy urgently made the arrangements.
"In the second half, you have to do a good job of switching rooms, Wade and James will definitely increase the breakthrough and interior offense, Rudy, Klay, Francisco, when the three of you are on the court, pay attention to the defensive intensity, especially when you enter the basket, there is enough pressure on them. Even if it's a foul. ”
"Bruce has to do more on the offensive end, and you have to take on the outside to be the core of the offense."
"Darko, Cousins, you two take care of the interior, Wade and James take more than half of their shots to the basket, as long as we can reduce their shooting percentage, we will win this game."
