basketball never sleeps

Chapter 145 Life is a fxxking movie!

Occasional chicken steals cannot change the overall direction of the game.

Facing the Pacers, who were fully offensive and fully defensive and highly focused under the leadership of Artest, Mo Wen could only choose to avoid their edge.

Even though Artest, an unlucky kid, didn't play much in the regular season, from a certain perspective, he can be considered the chosen one.

Because he did not play many whistles in the rigorous regular season, his "imagination" and "creativity" were not restricted.

The whistles in the regular season are not comparable to those in the playoffs. On the contrary, the defensive freedom in the playoffs is much greater than in the regular season.

Why is it said that the regular season and the playoffs are two different games? 90% of the difference is in defense.

Judging from the number of whistles, it seems that there are not many fewer whistles in the playoffs.

But the standard for blowing the whistle has changed from "strictly disciplining others" to "strictly disciplining oneself."

Even though Stern has made a bunch of rules to encourage offense and will also do some behind-the-scenes operations in some games, when the outcome of the game is really related to the outcome, he will still hand the game back to the players.

Including the current league leaders, they also believe that competitiveness is the real charm of the NBA. In the past two years, there was even a proposal in the league to cancel the three-pointer in the second half of the fourth quarter in order to increase the enjoyment of confrontation.

It has to be said that this kind of proposal has quite sinister intentions. It is simply to sacrifice the health of the players for the benefit of the fans.

It has to be a "joke". Although the NBA's brand value is depreciating under his leadership, the players have gotten healthy and received big contracts, and the owners have also made money. A world where only fans are injured has been achieved.

"We want Shaq!"

"We want Shaq!"

Seeing that the Heat's offense was stagnant, the audience on the sidelines shouted in dissatisfaction.

Shaq looked at the assistant coach, the assistant looked at Da Fan, and Da Fan looked at Mo Wen on the court.

As a democratic coach, he must ask the player representatives on the field when making substitutions. Is this normal?

Listening to the shouts from the coaching bench and the voices of the fans on the sidelines, Mo Wen knew what Da Fan meant without even thinking about it, but he just waved his hand at Da Fan's position without any intention of calling a timeout or substituting.

The score is now 39:33, and the Heat are still 5 points ahead, and they can continue to mess up... Oh, don't delay for a while.

The score difference before the end of the game is just a string of meaningless numbers.

If you fall behind a little, you will get anxious. It looks like it is not your first day as a capitalist. Let O'Pang rest for a while and ensure his condition and health, so that his value can be squeezed for a longer period of time in the playoffs.

Ordinary players are renewable resources, but for a center like O'Pang, one game will be lost.

If O'Brien can't make it, it will definitely be much harder for him and Wade to play as substitutes, but the occasional difficulty in a game is better than letting O'Go get injured again and be out for who knows how long.

There was a timeout or dead ball in the middle, but Mo Wen didn't let Ao Pang come on, but pulled everyone else up to rotate.

Even Wade was replaced by him and took a three-minute rest.

Of course, Mo Wen had no intention of competing for the model worker. After returning with Wade in the second half of the second quarter of the Olympics, he decisively left the game to rest.

The rotation of the main players not only reduced the Heat's offensive threat, but also had a considerable impact on their defense.

Most of the Heat's substitutes are strong offensively and weak defensively.

Damon Jones is taller, but Da Zhi is naturally lacking in strength. Laettner and Mo Wen's substitute Steve Smith are both older, and their athletic abilities, which were not particularly outstanding in the first place, have become mediocre.

Fortunately, the Pacers mainly focus on shooting and do not take advantage of defensive loopholes at a high rate.

Ou, who is the focus of the Heat's defense, did not perform well when Ou was off the court.

In fact, after entering the playoffs, his offensive state has been a bit wrong. When he played the Bulls in the first round, as an inside man, he averaged only 36.5% shooting per game.

Last year, O'Brien's shooting percentage in the playoffs was only 41%, which was already outrageous.

This year, it's even more abstract.

Yasuko worked as a double undercover every day and made 2 of 9 shots in the first half. While using defense to help the Pacers recover the point difference, he also used offense to prevent the Pacers from further widening the point difference.

It would be a pity not to become a werewolf based on his performance today. Being able to kill civilians is not his skill. Those who dare to kill themselves and their teammates are the real ruthless people.

Of course, apart from him, the other Pacers players are not much better, or even worse, otherwise they wouldn't be able to take more shots.

Speaking of which, who would have thought that the most accurate player on the Pacers team would be Reggie Miller, a veteran who is about to graduate.

He really couldn't understand why others were always late for work and leaving early after get off work in the days before they resigned.

As a result, when it came to him, it became a big thigh again.

Under such circumstances, Carlisle cannot help but not pay attention to defense.

At halftime, the score was 47 to 47. The Heat's first-quarter point difference was all recovered, and the two teams were tied.

Mo Wen had 10 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, Wade had 15 points, 1 assist and 2 rebounds, and O'Neal had 12 points and 6 rebounds. It was still the Big Three that took care of most of the Heat's offense.

The Pacers' scoring points were relatively scattered. Only O'Neill scored 11 points in 12 shots, scoring in double figures. The other starters all scored 7 or 8 points.

"What a wonderful offense and defense. Compared to the Suns, I still prefer the Heat's offensive method that combines fast breaks, tactics and singles. This is the real old school, and Carlisle's understanding of zone defense is also quite high. The Pacers

Being able to defend the Heat's two stars on the perimeter while also limiting the Heat's role players is something the Nets haven't figured out in the entire series."

Hubie Brown decided to ask a colleague to collect a video of the game after the game.

Having been a coach for most of my life, offensive and defensive games of this level are rare even in the playoffs.

Master once said: What is strong cannot last forever.

Just as the Heat were unable to consistently maintain an efficient offense in the first quarter, the Pacers' sophisticated defense cannot be maintained forever.

In the second half, the Heat rearranged their starting lineup.

Because the Pacers had been lagging behind before, their rotation was not good, and several core players did not get much rest.

But Carlisle still put the starting lineup on.

Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.

It's not that he is ruthless. When there is a gap in players' physical strength, you have no choice but to risk your life.

Fighting until death is just the beginning. The stadium is like a battlefield. As long as you don't fall, you have to fight.

Bird, who was watching the game with the team, had a solemn look on his face, his eyes lingering on the Heat's Big Three.

Riley, who was sitting across from him, looked quite relaxed and looked at Bird with a bit of teasing in his eyes.

Although the news was not announced to the public, he knew that Bird had originally intended to trade Mo Wen.

However, as the Pacers were the Pistons' opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, it was impossible to get Mo Wen no matter what.

Introduction is life.

Life is a fxxking movie!
