Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 242 [Experience determines the outcome]

Wang Jun played mediocre, scoring only 7 points and 7 rebounds, and was a bit depressed being defended by Odom and Butler.

Odom and Wang Jun met in New York last summer and know each other well.

Before the game, he greeted Wang Jun and said arrogantly: "Boy, I will switch to you today, so you don't want to get a high score."

This guy really did what he said, and he worked very hard to prevent it.

Wang Jun didn't make Odom feel comfortable either. He defended against him and looked for a confrontation. Odom missed several mid-range and long-range jumpers against him.

Wade is the Heat's highest scorer, with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, most of which are singles during fast breaks.

As the nominal starting point guard, he rushed to the front and disrupted the team's overall rhythm.

Odom's organizational skills are good, he claims to be able to play five positions, and his efficiency as a point guard can't be high.

After the game, Heat coach Stan Van Gundy specifically said that the team's tactics were not played out, and several rookies lacked experience.

He didn't explicitly criticize, but he was actually dissatisfied with Wade's style of play.

But if Wade slows down and competes with the Nets, it will be difficult for the Heat to win.

What the sports media often say is the importance of "playoff experience."

In the second round, Wang Jun fell ⊕⊽, because he didn't feel that he was lacking anything compared to the veterans.

It would be a different story if he was on a chaotic team, or had a personal style that tended to be chaotic.

What exactly is "playoff experience"?

There are mainly three aspects.

First of all, in terms of confrontation intensity, after entering the playoffs, the defensive intensity of nba games has increased compared with the regular season. "Defense wins championships" has always been the truism of the NBA playoffs.

In order to win the playoffs, players must strengthen the defense like crazy. Therefore, the increase and strengthening of confrontation is brought about, which is a huge test for the physical fitness of athletes. How to allocate energy reasonably. How to prevent unnecessary confrontation requires sufficient experience accumulation.

Wang Jun relied on confrontation and physical fitness, so of course he couldn't feel it. Veterans have to go around when they meet someone like him. Who wants to run against him?

Secondly,

It's the player's mentality.

Many young players will carry ideological burdens and feel nervous in the face of the "big scene". Worried about not playing well and being abandoned by the team and criticized by the media.

Tension brings rigidity of muscles, deformation of movements, and slow reaction on the spot. Playoff experience can make psychological adjustments to individuals and the entire team, when to stabilize emotions, and how to adjust when nervous. How to keep a clear mind, how to fight when you are behind, etc...

The players of the Nets who made it to the finals twice wanted to win the championship more than Wang Jun, and the pressure was on those people. Wang Jun was satisfied with his performance and was often praised. How could he be nervous?

Finally, there are technical and tactical aspects.

How to disassemble the opponent's defense, how to block the opponent's offense, and how to arrange the rotation. How to match up, how to stand, when to play fast and when to play slow, all these require the accumulation of experience.

With Kidd around, it's not a problem at all. As long as the boss doesn't mess around, no one will mess up. This is a major advantage of the Nets.

In short. The role of experience is to make players make fewer mistakes and grasp when opponents make mistakes. Know what to do in the most difficult times.

The best teams to do these two points are the Nets and Spurs. Wang Jun has learned a lot from Kidd. It is a precious asset that the basketball training system cannot give him.

Wade has no one to teach. Another point guard for the Heat is Alston, who is more wild than him.

In fact, Wade is still developing on the road to a shooting guard, not the point guard that the management and coaching staff want him to play.

The process of the second game was similar to the first game, and the Heat players felt even worse.

Only two Heat team scored in double figures, Lamar Odom and Wade scored 21 and 19 points respectively. Others took turns hitting the iron on the periphery, and they couldn't make any shots.

Eddie Jones only scored 9 points, without the slightest boss style, and it seems that he has given way to Wade, playing soy sauce on the outside.

Butler was even more miserable. It was difficult for Jefferson and Wang Jun to rely on his body. His outside shots were not accurate. He made 1 of 8 shots and only scored 4 points including free throws.

The five Nets scored in double figures, played well under Kidd's organization, and scored more evenly. The Heat couldn't find the focus of defense at all. Except for Collins, none of them could relax.

The inside defense is slower, Wang Jun and Kittles will catch the ball and shoot, and the inside will expand. Martin catches the ball in the middle and rushes to dunk.

Martin, who averaged only 16.2 points and 9.2 rebounds in the regular season, rose to 19 points and 9.6 rebounds in the playoffs, ranking first in the team in both statistics.

It is difficult for opponents to defend him without a fast and tough inside line. His physical fitness is amazing.

The third game moved to Miami, and the Heat hoped to recover the disadvantage.

It is a pity that Wang Jun, who has been playing soy sauce for six games into the playoffs, broke out.

As soon as he convulsed, the Heat's offense was unstoppable. In the first quarter, he relied on screens to hit three-pointers in a row, and hit a counterattack with a ball. He was misplaced against Grant, and he shot in a shot one meter away from the three-point line.

With five three-pointers in a single quarter, the Heat players Wang Jun shot fell like ice.

In the second quarter, the Nets came off the bench again. Rodney scored two three-pointers, before halftime stretched to 25 points.

At this time, the playoff experience played a key role again. The Nets did not underestimate the enemy just because they played well, but strengthened their defense, continued to reduce the number of rounds, and dragged into positional battles.

Do not grab offensive rebounds, mainly play pick-and-rolls, and limit opponents' fast breaks.

The Heat were eager to chase points, Wade accelerated and scored some points, and the team lacked cooperation.

The Nets are also good at running the game, keeping up with the pace. The Heat ran too far ahead and couldn't come back inside. The Nets can also play fast breaks, which is not a loss.

It was useless for the Heat to catch up with all their strength in the second half. In the end, they lost again 102 to 88, with a total score of 0 to 3.

Wang Jun played 42 minutes, made 12 of 20 shots, 8 of 14 three-pointers, scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, setting a personal scoring record in the playoffs.

He didn't make a single free throw, and he relied on his shooting touch to score.

In sharp contrast to him, Butler made 2 of 8 shots and Jones made 4 of 12 shots.

Both of them have outstanding physical fitness. Back then, Jones was the hunk who let Kobe play as a substitute for two seasons, but he couldn't shoot well, and he had to cry when he encountered zone defense. No matter how good his body was, it was useless.

Not to mention the Heat, the American Dream Team lacked pitchers and was abused in the 2002 World Championships, and achieved the most shameful record in the history of nba players playing international competitions-sixth place!

Wade's performance of 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists is the only consolation in this game.

The team lost and the atmosphere at home in Miami was terrible.

When the Heat took the lead at the beginning, the Miami fans shouted a few times, but they stopped talking once they fell behind by a big score, and many people left the field early in the final quarter.

Miami fans have always had a bad reputation for watching the game. The most famous "crime" is being late for the game. Some fans always like to be late for more than half a quarter and then enter the stadium.

This is a tourist city, and the sports are mainly rugby, which is a disadvantage for the Heat.

If there is a team that fans have always supported, at least there will be no lack of fighting spirit on the spiritual level, and at least they will maintain hard work. Like the situation of the Heat today, it is like being given up by the fans.

No team has ever successfully come back from a 0-3 deficit, and the Nets have actually advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals! (To be continued.)
