Chapter 650 is just different from before
At the end of the second quarter of the game, Chen Yinan was already in distress. The Heat were in great shape tonight. The Knicks scored just 47 points in the first half. And the 12-point difference is a lot of pressure for New York.
Defensively, Miami's use of excellent physical confrontation and rebounding awareness has made the Knicks a little disoriented several times. What I felt here in New York was the Heat's strong impact and occasional long-range shots!
Whiteside was pleased to high-five his team-mate at the end of the first half. And the Knicks are obviously a little duller in terms of atmosphere. Chen's expression at that time also made the players of the team feel that there was nothing to say and went directly to the direction of the locker room.
"This tactic doesn't work, Rogge, I also tried your drill, and it didn't work. The opponent's style of play is probably going to win us in this game. Just after the end, Chen walked to the coaching staff, and the group of four found a small room, went in and began to study.
What made Chen feel more relieved was that the Knicks' assistant coaches had similar expressions at this time, and their faces were more solemn. Originally, I thought that even if I spent the third quarter with the Heat, it would be nothing to tie or fall behind by a few points in the first half. I didn't expect to be 12 points behind! This is the rhythm that allows them to defeat the Knicks directly in one go!
Rogge meant to defend with them, but the defense didn't improve much, and the opponent's offense was quite efficient......
"I have to say that in today's game, Miami has played so far, and I still feel that they have basically no problems," Kurt said directly before Rogge could speak. The expressions of the teaching assistants at this time also agreed with Kurt's look.
"I started to think that if we strengthen our defense, the opponent's ability may decrease. But what I didn't expect was that tonight's Heat could be described as sharp on the offensive end! Rogge said with a sad face.
"We can't sit still now, after all, there is still a gap between the two teams. This kind of state can't let Porzingis, Kante and them continue to be on the court in the third quarter," Chan's mind raced as he said this, thinking about who would play the two of them as a substitute in the third quarter.
"How's the onslaught? I mean, basically give up the defense and fight them for points," Kurt said as he said this, and there was an awkward silence around him.
In the silence, everyone clearly knew that the ideas were not too much. As soon as the offense can't be played, the game is indirectly over.
"What about the height?" After Gnaga finished speaking, he looked at the scrutinizing gazes of the three coaches, including Chen, a little nervously.
"I know I don't have much say at this time, but I remember talking to our data assistant the other day, and the Heat's players are relatively low...... I don't know if this can be ......" Gnaga said as his voice lowered, and the expressions of the three men in front of him were different......
"Haha! Gnaga, this suggestion of yours is quite to adjust the atmosphere~ Five big men on the field? Then you're going to be clumsy and keep conceding the ball. Haha, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back~ Today's best mending knife~ Okay, listen to what we talk about, maybe you will be transferred from a trainer to a drill assistant in the future~"
Rogge laughed and said Gnaga, an assistant trainer who also belongs to the coaching staff.
"The idea of five big men on the court is still good~It's bold~," Kurt smiled and took Rog's words and said to Gnaga.
"Then we basically have to rely on cooperation and opportunities, and then try to chase the score as much as possible. In the next quarter, I felt that O'Quinn would ...... play, "Rogge saw Chen standing there and didn't speak, thinking that maybe the coach didn't want to deal with Gnarga's abrupt thoughts just now. So we immediately continued the discussion.
"Wait!!" Chen suddenly screamed like an electric shock, startling the coach next to him!
"Gnaga, what did you just say...... The Heat are generally lower in height, right? β
"Yes, maybe the idea is a bit naΓ―ve, just thinking about it and saying it. You can continue the discussion, I'll just listen. Gnaga said with some embarrassment.
"Alright, let's move on to the idea of Lower Gnagar!" Chen's eyes began to glow again at this time. Rogge and Kurt looked at each other and didn't say anything more.
"We could really be ignoring that!" Chen said to his teaching assistant.
"Boss, you're really not going to let five big men play, are you? Who dribbles? Who organizes? And can they keep up with the Heat's players? Maybe it would be disastrous for our team."
"It's possible that we won't win, but if it's catastrophic, it's not. If you can't keep up, don't follow, just keep a certain distance from each other. Gnaga, you have a good idea, so what, let's take a break. The third quarter will be our key battle! β
At this time, Chen also needs to be calm and calm to sort out the current idea and how to do the specific implementation. Indeed, the Knicks basically don't have much advantage when they are fighting the Heat now. But the height of the other party has always been an unappreciated point!
"Okay, don't sleep, there's time at night!" Chen walked to the players' room and saw six or seven players still dreaming. There's Cornet.
"Is the time so soon?" Ramon said, rubbing his eyes.
"Wake up, wake up. Time is not yet up, but there is not much left for us. Chen walked over and pushed them one by one. The players also feel that something is not quite right with Chen now. Got paid today? No, I guess I won't be able to go outside to play after this game. As Beasley thought about this, he felt the room fall silent.
"Cornet plays the number four position for a while, and Porzingis plays as a central striker. Beasley was in charge of the breakout, while Ntilikina and Ramon put the team together. Offensively, we try to avoid physical contact with them, and on the guard side, we try to use cover as much as possible to break through quickly! β
Chen paused, went over to take an unopened bottle, unscrewed the cap, and stared at his players after taking two sips of water.
"Under the basket, I ask you Cornet to be more defensive. Porzingis tries to pull out and shoot as much as he can, or use his height advantage on the inside to score points constantly. You have to remember to play with your height advantage, pick-and-roll, outside shooting and constant passing."
When I walked out of the locker room, it felt like two worlds were completely different. It's quieter inside. And now the American Airlines arena is very lively! They are waiting to see how the Heat will beat the Knicks, who are already second in the East, in this quarter!
Miami's Kelly, West replaced Whiteside and Dragic. In their thinking, if they can't take the lead in the third quarter, then it is not bad to maintain a score difference of about 10 points and enter the fourth quarter~
Rog: They were somewhat relieved to see that the defenders were Nilikina and Ramon. But these two defenders basically don't have much combat power in the team, right? However, they are indeed quite tall, and Nelikina is close to two meters. Ramon probably brought Jack on at the break.
Chen stood on the sidelines at this time, without any expression on his face. But I'm still a little excited. The Knicks and Nets' coaching staff are not on the same level at all. Borg's words probably feel like it will be more difficult to lead the Nets now...... Brooklyn doesn't have a decent assistant coach at the moment.
Borg is kind of good in it. However, when he became the team's current interim manager, his work can be imagined later. Borg is already under a lot of pressure right now. His own tactical and defensive drills don't win games, and he uses the solutions offered by his team's assistant coaches to sometimes lose badly......
And every game the confidence of the players seems to have taken a certain hit. The current Nets are in a state of rotten again. New York is not the same as before. Chen's heart is so beautiful when he thinks of this~
You can also discuss some things with the TAs during the game. And sometimes it's inspired! After there is a certain gap with the opponent in height, the first thing that is reflected is that on the offensive end, the opponent's defensive pressure suddenly increases.
Sometimes you can't even defend at all! Because you can't reach it! But if you force it to defend, the foul will be easier to get! Back on the court, the Heat are still in good shape!
And the players on the Knicks side watched with some suspicion as opposing players held the ball through the half. Chen was already looking forward to their performance in this section at this time! 8)
