The Basketball Court Swordsman

During the intermission, George's ultra-long-range buzzer three-pointer was played back again and again on the big screen. The fans of the Pacers are never tired of it. Every time it is replayed, they can cheer.

Seeing George becoming more and more superstars, the fans are naturally very happy. It seems that he has forgotten how much he received when he decided to pick George with the tenth overall pick.

But Mike Brin did not forget Henson. Of course, it was not the fact that Henson chose George, but Henson's composure when playing back George's shots on the big screen.

It's how confident you are in this game that makes you so relaxed. People say that having its own game is a classic. But Mike Brin feels that as long as there is a game with Coach Henson Joe, it will not be boring!

At this time, in the Heat's locker room, James is boosting the morale of his teammates. After all, it is very hurtful to be hit by others at the buzzer three-pointer. The Filipino coach Spoelstra was thinking about the issue of employment in the second half.

Spoelstra is not stupid, he did not fail to see the Pacers' strategy, nor did he fail to see Henson's use of Dafa. This tactic itself is not a secret, it's just relatively unpopular.

It is also very simple to crack this tactic. You just send two insiders who can shoot. The Heat already have Bosh, so you only need to match Bosh with a shooting partner. With the threat of shooting, are you afraid that he will not mark people?

But the difficulty lies here. The Heat can't even make up a few blue-collar insiders, let alone those who can shoot!

Joe Anthony, Turiaf and even Heat captain Haslem, their shots are better than nothing. To open the Pacers' defense in the penalty area, Spoelstra must use Bosh to top the center, and then transfer from other positions to play the fourth position.

For example, Sean Battier.

Battier's range can be extended beyond the three-point line, so Henson's "if you get away" Dafa will not work. But at the same time, the Heat must also face the shortcomings of short height and soft defense.

As mentioned before, no tactic is a panacea. If there is gain, there must be a loss.

But now, Spoelstra has only a try. Rather than being late on the offensive end, Spoelstra is more willing to sacrifice defense.

"Listen, guys, I have a plan." So Spoelstra knocked on the tactical board, and it was time to fight back!

"In the first half of the game, the Heat's offense was a mess. The Pacers completely blocked the penalty area, and the Heat are by no means the kind of team that is good at shooting. Once LeBron and Wade can't open the situation in the three-second zone, the Heat The attack will become very uncomfortable."

"That's right, Mike. So I think the key to the Heat's victory in this game is to find a way to open the inside. The most direct way to open the inside is to hang the opposing center forward out of the three-second zone. Let's see , Will coach Spoelstra follow a similar adjustment."

Brin and Weber have always been experienced and really guessed Spoelstra's plan.

Because at this time, the starting fourth in the second half of the game became the experienced Sean Battier, and blue-collar centers such as Joe Anthony and Turiaf were sitting on the bench.

"It's changed. They replaced one who can shoot the ball." Vogel curled his lips. In this way, "Range Ruo Li" Dafa is not easy to use.

"Well, it's a substitution, he has no choice. In the second half of the game, it depends on whether our offense is fierce." Henson said, standing up and making several gestures at the players.

Means: Switch back to man-to-man defense and attack quickly if you have the opportunity!

Sure enough, after Battier started, in the first round of the second half, James exploded with a dunk!

James scored only 8 points in the first half, playing so frustrated. In the second half, the door opened wide, James naturally will not miss the opportunity.

"Coach Spoelstra's adjustments are immediate, let us see how the Pacers will respond!"

As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, Horford delivered the ball. The Pacers are advancing very fast. Although they have not been able to make an "advanced attack", it is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the Heat.

Look for teammates in the opportunity, teammates in the opportunity... Once the Pacers players have the ball, the first thing that comes to mind is this idea. Henson's special training method yesterday afternoon transformed the players' thinking mode on the offensive end.

As a result, Paul gave the ball to West, who was leaning on Battier for the ball.

Sean Battier, as the former Rockets captain, Chinese fans are undoubtedly very familiar with him. As a Duke graduated small forward with fairly solid basic skills, Battier's style of play may not be gorgeous, but it is absolutely efficient.

The same is true on the defensive end. Battier won't pursue the elusive data of steals and blocks. He only seeks to interfere with your shooting as much as possible. The essence of defense is not to let the opponent score? Steals and blocks are just a means to prevent the opponent from scoring goals.

However, it is indeed difficult for such a small forward who has a height of 2.03 meters and has always played the third position to top the inside.

After holding the ball, West took two steps back in, then suddenly turned his back to the basket!

Bosh was pulled away by Horford, forming a one-on-one situation between Shane and West at the basket. Without mercy, the "17-foot Assassin" used a dunk this time to end the offense at the basket.

It is undoubtedly an overwhelming advantage for a pure insider to meet an old outside player who has never been known for brute force.

The pros and cons of Spoelstra's transformation are shown in this attack and defense. To put it bluntly, this is a multiple choice question whether you want to attack or defend. The Filipino coach did not hesitate to choose a confrontation. He sits on three giants and is afraid that he will not be able to compete with you?

Unfortunately, the Heat's second offense did not work. Bosh's turn over jumper in the three-second zone was severely interfered by Horford and failed to hit. Although the Pacers' defense is now forced to become man-to-man, the Pacers players' strong single defense capabilities will not be defeated by the Heat.

After grabbing a defensive rebound this time, Horford immediately hit the ball! His pass was fast and accurate, allowing the Pacers to skip the half-court dribbling and positioning and directly attack!

"Launch the attack early!" Mike Brin shouted.

Launching an offense in advance is an offense between fast break and positional warfare. He wasn't catching the opponent's mistake. The opponent had already retired, but he hadn't settled in a good position yet, and the defensive formation had not yet formed.

What the Pacers needs to do is to finish scoring ahead of time before the opponent's defense takes shape!

In front of Paul, there was a Chalmers who retreated in time, but CP3 did not slow down, and a simple one-handed change was wiped from Chalmers.

At the same time, the rest of the Pacers have quickly followed up, the Heat can not be placed, their defense has been messed up by the pace of the Pacers!

Paul plunged inside and found Green in ambush in the bottom corner among the people. Green is not a scoring player, nor is he the biggest star. But as long as there is a chance, he will be relentless!

Hand up the knife and hit a three-pointer! In less than 7 seconds, the Pacers' offense was over. This is exactly the quick offense that the Pacers like to play last season. This season, after Henson dispatched the traditional double-inside combination, he used less of the attack in advance. But this does not mean that the Pacers have lost this characteristic.

"Don't try to challenge the Pacers' three-point shooting percentage. They are one of the league's best three-pointers this season! The Heat lost 5 points when they came up, and they still haven't gotten out of trouble!"

At this point, the point difference has become 11 points, James' dunk does not seem to have much effect. Spoelstra solved the offensive problem, but he was not satisfied with the result of the attack.

In the third quarter, both sides attacked and attacked. Paul played a central role, scoring 6 points in a row, and once again led the team to a small climax. After the timeout, Matthews, who came on the bench, also had an immediate effect, and the three-pointer was the icing on the cake. The Pacers' conduction made the Heat's defense easily torn apart, and as long as there is room, the Pacers' players will not waste it.

The kind that Henson wanted to see blossomed, the Pacers played out. In the first half of the game, the Pacers also played out the inside defense that Henson wanted to see. It can be said that the game has been developing completely according to Henson's expectations! The players faithfully implemented his plan, and it is worthwhile to prepare for this opponent for so long!

After three quarters, the Heat shot only 40%. James scored 20 points, Wade contributed 17 points, Bosh only scored 8 points.

78 to 65, the Pacers stabilized their advantage, did not allow the Heat to counterattack successfully, and entered the final battle with a difference of 13 points.

Chris Paul scored 19 points and 7 assists in three quarters, and he deserves to be the master of the field.

The master of the field behind the scenes is Henson Joe who is holding the tactical board at this time, ready to direct the players to close the game.

Consolidate the inside defense in the first half, and bomb the Heat with unfocused offenses in the second half... Henson calculated the Heat to death. There were only 12 minutes left in the game. Henson wanted to see it, Spoel. How can Stella complete the comeback in just one game time!
