On May 23, the Eastern Conference Finals began in Atlanta.

Compared with the opponent in the semifinals, the Pistons, the Heat are lacking in strength. The aging Sharks and the half-blooded Wade are not a big threat to the Hawks. More importantly, the Heat players lack the range.

The most accurate three-pointer in the starting lineup is Peterson at the small forward position, with a shooting percentage of 35%. Williams and Wade's shooting percentages are even lower than 33%.

O'Neal is in desperate need of space inside, but there is no shooter on the outside. This combination is very unreasonable and affects the Heat's combat effectiveness. Therefore, in the past few days, Ke Yan rehearsed the defensive formation in advance.

The referee on duty, Joe Clifford, blew the whistle, threw the ball into the air, and the game officially started!

Garnett was already eager to try, overpowering O'Neal, passing the ball to Paul, and then ran forward.

He did not stay directly at the top of the key, but first came to the inside. It was not a one-shot move, but to first pose a deep threat to the Heat, press O'Neal into the penalty area, and then move up to serve as a cover, taking advantage of his mobility.

, mobilize O'Neal up and down to find offensive opportunities.

Paul and Garnett were playing a pick-and-roll, and O'Neal followed him two steps, keeping a distance to interfere with shooting, and he could also return to the basket to cover at any time. Haslem came over to double-team Paul.

Paul passed the ball to Garnett, and Garnett faked a shot, attracting Haslem's defense and then passed the ball to the basket. Diaw caught the ball and scored an easy layup. (2:0)

The Heat attacked and faced Battier's defense. Wade broke into the penalty area and was double-teamed by three people. The ball went out to the outside and Haslem made a shot from the left side. (2:2)

Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, played a pick-and-roll with Garnett outside the three-point line, and got rid of Williams.

"White Chocolate" was very popular when he first entered the league. His passing was incredible and superb, and his outstanding skills even influenced the Chinese music king Jay Chou. However, his mediocre physical condition restricted his defensive ability, and he was easily defeated by Paul.

opened the distance.

O'Neal did not follow up, and Paul took the shot easily without being defended and hit the ball accurately. (4:2)

The Heat attacked, and O'Neal moved to the center to screen for Wade. Wade got rid of Battier's defense and broke into the inside. He was blocked by Garnett. Wade, who was injured, did not force the ball and passed the ball to Haas.

LeBron, this time Garnett turned around faster and pounced on Haslem to interfere with the shot. The ball went wide. Battier actively retreated to the basket to get the rebound, and then stumbled to the ground.

O'Neal deliberately pushed someone behind him, and the referee called a foul on O'Neal before the Eagles players could gather around him, nipping a potential conflict in the bud.

The Eagles attacked, Paul held the ball across half court and handed the ball to Joe Johnson on the left side.

Joe Johnson caught the ball, leaned inside, bumped Wade, shook his left shoulder slightly, turned towards the baseline and made a fadeaway jumper. 6 to 2.

Wade had an injury on his right shoulder, and the defensive end was taboo for opponents to attack his side; Joe Johnson took advantage of his timid mentality to launch a personal attack, and easily hit the ball in singles.

White Chocolate dribbled the ball past half court, and Paul left him a full step of space. The meaning was very clear, he could shoot three-pointers as he pleased, but there was no way to break through!

Putting the ball in Wade's hands, Battier's defensive strategy was exactly the same, giving the Flash one step.

This wave of shrinking of the Eagles' defense makes the Heat very uncomfortable. First, it limits O'Neal's low-post play. As long as the Heat gives the ball to O'Neal, the Eagles will definitely attack. Second, Wade's breakthrough has also become difficult, especially now.

Wade is still in a state of residual health, and his strength is less than 70% of his usual strength.

Wade took a step forward and took a two-point shot. Garnett was pushed down while grabbing a rebound. Haslem raised his hand and took a foul on O'Neal's behalf.

In the next defense, the Heat had another problem with the pick-and-roll. Paul singled out O'Neal, successfully broke through in a different direction, and scored an easy layup from the left side. (8:2)

Pat Riley simply called a timeout at the beginning. The Eagles relied on the pick-and-roll offensively to defeat the Heat. The defensive strategy also effectively curbed the Heat's offense. If the problem is not solved, the point difference will only widen.

The bigger!

After the timeout, Laili asked O'Neal to be more active in guarding pick-and-rolls. The Hawks' response was simple: O'Neal came out and Garnett went in.

Haslem is only 2.03cm tall, and he is not very agile in his movements. He mainly relies on his strength in the bottom plate to make him the main force of the Heat. It is relatively easy for Garnett to catch the ball under the basket and beat him.

The Eagles could not be contained on the defensive end, and the Heat could not break the Eagles' shrinking defense on the offensive end. Pat Riley encouraged Wade and Williams to take decisive shots when their shooting rhythm was good, but neither of them was good at shooting.

Hitting one or two mid-range shots is just a drop in the bucket and won't help.

"Wade missed the mid-range shot. Just like in the opening game of this season, the Heat are in big trouble!" Yuga explained.

It is also a conversation between the Hawks and the Heat. It is also a contest that was considered "evenly matched" before the game. It also presents a one-sided situation. There are too many similarities between the Eastern Conference Finals G1 game and the season opener. It is like going back in time.

generally.

"Yes, it can be seen that Ke Yan has done thorough research on the Heat and realized that the Heat's outside players are not stable in mid- and long-range shooting. And Wade and Williams are really giving face. They are really

The shot cannot be made. In this way, the Eagles have a greater advantage." Zhang Liangli's voice was a little lonely. It was not that he did not support the Eagles, but that he had made full preparations to explain this game, but he saw something

An unexpected "massacre".

It is said that "Those who are in authority are confused, but those who are onlookers are clear", which obviously does not apply to Ke Yan. No one realized that it was so easy to beat this Heat team.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led 41 to 21. Not only did they have a sharp offense, they also limited the Heat's offense.

Wade had 6 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, O'Neal had 5 points and 2 rebounds. If Williams hadn't scored 5 points and made a three-pointer, the Heat would have surrendered in the first quarter.

For the Hawks, Paul scored 10 points and 3 assists, a brilliant performance; Garnett scored 8 points and 5 rebounds, and Joe Johnson scored 10 points. The Big Three alone scored more points than the entire Heat team!

In the second quarter of the game, the Heat still failed to make any waves. O'Neal was getting older and his physical fitness was unsustainable; Wade was deeply affected by injuries, his breakthrough was greatly affected, and his finishing ability was greatly reduced. Ke Yan watched from the sidelines.

They all feel worried.

A normal coach, even if he gave up this series, would have to protect Wade to prevent the injury from getting worse and affecting his career. Only Pat Lailey, a notoriously ruthless person, not only allowed Wade to continue playing,

He was also asked to take on the heaviest task.

If the team is lagging behind or in a stalemate, Ke Yan may choose to let the players focus on Wade's right side to attack, but there is no need to do so in a game with a big advantage. Ke Yan instructs the players to be gentler on Wade and try not to let him

The opponent's injuries worsened.

At the end of halftime, the score reached 78:46, and the point difference was widened to 32 points. There was almost no suspense in the game.

However, in the locker room, Ke Yan did not ask the players to hold back, but asked them to beat their opponents to death while ensuring "safety"!

"I want this game to knock the heat out of the Heat!"

That's what Ke Yan said, and his players did the same. So, in the second half of the game, the Hawks continued to take the initiative, and the Heat completely collapsed.

During the timeout, Patelli stabilized the players' emotions and prevented them from having any overreaction.

On the stage of the Eastern Conference finals, causing any trouble will not be good for the Heat in the future; besides, Wade is still here, and the Heat will not be worth the gain if they dare to take any action and retaliate against their own star.

"It's over~" Pat Riley sighed, already anticipating the ending of this season.

The Eagles led 105 to 67 entering the final quarter, and the game completely entered garbage time.

In the final quarter of the game, O'Neal and Wade were watching the game from the bench. The Heat's Payton, Quinn, Peterson, Haslem, and Mourning were on the court, seizing the opportunity of the Eagles' slack defense to score.

Both Payton and Mourning plan to retire after the end of the season. Although this series will be humiliating, they won the championship last season and reached the Eastern Conference finals this season. Their careers are still considered complete.

The Hawks basically finished the fourth quarter as substitute players. The best performer was Gibson. The substitute point guard scored two three-pointers in the last quarter. He made 3 of 8 three-pointers in the game. His production and efficiency were still good.

Yes, it caught Patrelli's attention.

Compared with the Heat's former Damon Jones, Gibson has better athletic ability and can complete mid-range shots through pick-and-rolls. He is obviously an enhanced version of the former, and most importantly, he fits well with Wade.

The final score was fixed at 125:97, and the Eagles got a good start in the Eastern Conference Finals, leading 1:0.

After losing the first game, and the gap was too big to recover, Patrily directly announced at the press conference that Wade's right shoulder injury had worsened and he would not play in the remaining games of the playoffs.

"Dwayne has a strong willingness to play. But as the team's coach and management, we need to respect the players' wishes and also consider Dwayne's health. Moreover, his injury has prevented him from playing normally on the court.

It’s time to play ball,” Patelli emphasized.

Just hearing this, do you still think that the Hawks injured Wade? tmd Wade was injured in February, and you arranged for him to come back at the end of the regular season, in the first round of the playoffs, and in the second round

Don't consider the health of the players; seeing that they are being beaten to death, they are clamoring to be reimbursed for the season?

When Ke Yan heard the news, he also sarcastically said something to Pat Laili: "I don't even need a medical report from an expert. I can feel from the sidelines that Wade is enduring a lot of pain while playing. I think it is important for the players to

Playing the game under such circumstances is a very irresponsible behavior for him, so the Heat made the right decision to let Wade recover from his injury. I hope Wade recovers well in the offseason and that we will be able to compete against each other for many years in the future.

.”

Although both sides have verbally denied that the series is over, anyone with a discerning eye can see that even Wade, who is at full health, cannot fill the gap in strength between the aging Heat and the Hawks.

The Heat's decision to reimburse Wade is already a signal of surrender with a white flag!

At the same time, the Western Conference Finals are also in full swing. Although the Jazz's book strength is slightly less than that of the Suns, coach Sloan's team is good at fighting tough battles. Deron and Boozer, the new generation of Utah's two evils

The strength cannot be underestimated. The strength comparison between the two sides is basically 4.5:5.5. The Suns dare not say that they are as sure of victory as the Eagles!

In the G1 game, the Jazz showed their resilience. Deron and Boozer played well in the pick-and-roll, and dragged the game into double overtime before finally losing. Throughout the game, Deron and Boozer played well in the pick-and-roll.

Long and Boozer both scored 30, overwhelming the Suns' defense!

In the Eagles' office, Ke Yan, Atkins, Hornacek, and Hamblen also watched the game together. After the game, everyone gave their opinions.

"48 minutes of regular time plus two overtimes, a total of 58 minutes, D'Antoni only used a total of 8 lineup rotations. Nash and Marion should have played more than 50 minutes! This way until the end, the core

The players are so tired!”

"Compared to the regular season, Barbosa's performance dropped significantly, which is why Nash played for so long. Although Marion contributed a lot on the defensive end, he only scored 12 points.

.

.

.The shrinkage is quite serious!”

"Nash's slow lateral movement is an old problem. Kimi, you can take a closer look at your previous roll call tactics. I think it will be of great use against the Suns in the finals!"

Compared to watching the Spurs' game videos and doing tactical analysis before, the coaching staff was more enthusiastic about the discussion today. This is also normal. Compared with hammering the Spurs' turtle shell, it is definitely more interesting to play against the Suns.

If Key Yan were a football coach, he would definitely rather fight against Barcelona than attack Mourinho's coach.

On May 26, the G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals continued at the Phillips Center. Since the Heat surrendered early, the game did not receive much attention. TNT commentators Kenny Smith and Barkley also commented on the game.

I have been looking forward to the finals, discussing what might happen if the Hawks play the Suns, and what might happen if they play the Jazz.

In line with the principle of "surrender and lose half", Ke Yan did not arrange any special tactics for this game. The Eagles players basically controlled the court and did not compete with the Heat players. They did not even double-team O'Neal and let him go.

The Sharks scored a double-double in the first half of the game with 2812.

Even so, the Hawks also led the whole game, giving the Heat no hope. In the end, they successfully defeated their opponents 112:94, changing the big score to 2:0.

Garnett continued to play in three quarters of this game, making 8 of 13 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, best in the game.

Paul also beat the Heat's outside line, sending out comprehensive statistics of 22 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. He and Garnett's pick-and-roll play was very successful. Compared with Deron and Boozer, Paul and Garnett's

The cards better correspond to Stockton and Malone.

After the game, the media interviewed Ke Yan and asked questions about the finals.

"It is undeniable that we are only one step away from the finals.

.

.

." Keyan said and also laughed, "Just wait a little longer. I hope we can be the final winner."

"So are you forcibly restraining your emotions now?" the reporter asked.

"It's not restraint, but worry. In fact, I haven't won anything so far. I don't have much successful experience. So, the closer I am to success, the more careful I will be. I hope all my

Emotions can be released at the moment of real success." Ke Yan said sincerely.

The nemesis Pistons were overtaken by the Hawks; the two more difficult teams among the top three were originally suffocated in the Western Conference. Whether it was the Jazz or the Suns rushing out of the Western Conference, the Hawks had an advantage in terms of strength; including the Eastern Conference Finals Heat

It's a direct nod to surrender; in this year's playoffs, everything is moving in a direction favorable to the Eagles.

However, the better the opportunity, the closer you are to success, and the greater the pressure!
