Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1058 No, are you fighting Jiang Zi? (Part 2)

If we play at the pace of these two games, the Heat are likely to be blown away by the Pacers, even if Bosh comes back.

The Heat's transformation started in the fourth game. He knew that even if Bosh came back, he would still be weak inside. Even if Bosh broke his tooth, he would still be able to compete 50-50 with Hibbert.

Yes, according to the requirements of the Heat's lineup for Bosh, it would be good if he can split 50-50 with Hibbert.

So Spoelstra, or Riley behind him, changed tactics in Game 4.

position?

do not fight!

Insider?

No more!

He placed "3D player" Battier in the starting fourth position, partnering with James and Wade.

This move is commonly known as the "wonderful move". When Battier came to the fourth position, it seemed that the Heat were shorter and couldn't hit the inside. However, the Heat made up for Battier's weakness by increasing the speed.

At the same time, this move defensively makes up for the team's lack of defensive rotation, and offensively it also opens up space under the basket for James and Way to break through.

So in that game, Wade scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, while James scored a near-triple double with 40 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists.

In the end, relying on Spoelstra's temporary formation and the explosion of James and Wade, the Heat defeated the Pacers 101:93, with a big score of 2:2, and evened the score.

This game also exposed the biggest problem of the Pacers. They are sticklers for traditional basketball. They have height and weight inside, but they are too slow and move very slowly. The time per round is the first in the league. Once they are caught and converted,

It will be very uncomfortable for walkers.

The Heat relied on this to reverse the Pacers without Bosh.

Unfortunately, this time, the Pacers encountered an even more terrifying Knicks team.

In fact, the Knicks can also play very traditional. Their inside depth is much deeper than that of the Pacers. However, the Knicks' dominance in the league relies not only on the inside, but on the combination of inside and outside, as well as the ability to quickly switch.

Therefore, in this game, the Knicks carefully prepared tactics for the Pacers.

…

The game started with a left-right jump ball victory.

Hibbert turned around and ran back. It was obvious that he was already speeding up, because every time he met Zuo Li, Hibbert would always be bullied by Zuo Li with his speed, so much so that Hibbert was unconscious when he met Zuo Li.

starts to accelerate.

However, he still felt very at ease, because according to the coach's requirements, he only had to go up when Zuo Li went to the low post. At other times, he was responsible for guarding the inside and did not need to pull out.

This is a good thing for the Pacers, because Hibbert is the absolute core of the Pacers' defense. If he is pulled out, the inside will be ruined.

The person responsible for defending the left winger is David West in the fourth position. Of course, he is only responsible for keeping up with the left winger. Paul George will help defend at any time. On the bench, Hansbrough is prepared by the Pacers for the left winger.

Another defender.

The Pacers' defensive focus is also very clear. It is impossible to ignore Zuo Li, but it cannot be too much, because the abilities of other Knicks are also online, so it is best to cut off the connection between Zuo Li and others.

On the defensive end, adopt a staged defense against Zuo Li!

I have to say, I thought very well.

However, the Pacers were fooled on the first ball.

Immediately after the jump ball was completed, Zuo Li seemed to have a hot wheel under his feet and stepped into the three-point line in three strides. At this time, Hibbert was still trying to defend near the center circle.

Curry got the ball and threw it high. The ball flew over Paul George's head. George didn't jump because it was too high.

"Can this be received!?"

Paul George feels this was a mistake.

However, when he turned around, Zuo Li flew up and grabbed the basketball to complete a violent alley-oop!

Bang!

2-0!

"It has to be you! Zuo Li, the alley-oop dunk at the beginning, wonderful!" Yu Jia said!

"Curry's pass is a bit too big. He still needs to practice a little more, but with the left winger, the fault tolerance rate is too high." Director Zhang said.

Except for Zuo Li, I guess no one could do this to retrieve the ball that was about to fly out.

Zuo Li, who scored the goal, quickly returned to defense. Hibbert watched Zuo Li running past him and thought to himself: "A show of force, a show of force, good guy, he just flew away!"

But Hibbert doesn't worry, this is just the beginning.

The Pacers played steadily, George Hill dribbled the ball across half court, and Paul George came out to catch the ball. However, Paul George, who took the ball, found that he was not particularly confident when facing Battier one-on-one, so he called a pick-and-roll.

Hibbert pulled out and Paul George stopped in a pick-and-roll. However, Zuo Li predicted his move and blocked Paul George's shot with a slap.

Battier had quick eyesight and quick hands to get it directly, and then quickly gave it to Zuoli.

Fast break again!

Paul George tried his best to chase back and caught up, but he didn't dare to make a move.

Bang!

4-0!

"Paul George is very calm. In his position, he starts with 2+1," Barkley said.

"Well, it seems that the Knicks want to switch. Basically, the first time they get the ball is to go on a fast break. Curry and Battier are here for this ball. The Pacers need to pay attention to their success rate." Kenny

Smith said.

"Don't be anxious, hold on, give it to the inside line!" The Pacers coach also noticed it and gave his own reminder.

However……

Insider!?

When David West got the ball, he felt the fear he had in the Hornets. At that time, Zuo Li was not so blinding, but he could not find a chance to take action. Now, David West feels that he

It can’t even be spread!

Reluctantly passing the ball, George Hill from the outside received the ball and hit a three-pointer. Randolph was stuck in position and Battier confiscated the rebound.

Then the ball was quickly released again, left standing, Danny Green, Curry, three-line fast break.

Paul George was on guard three and was slipped away, and Curry made a direct layup.

6-0!

The Pacers made a comeback, and this time Hibbert caught the basketball with his back, but he was too slow, and he dared to dribble in front of the left wing!

Snapped!

Zuo Li steals +1.

After cutting off the ball, Zuo Li held the ball for a fast break, distributed the ball in the midfield, and Danny Green caught the ball and made a layup again.

8-0!

Subsequently, the Pacers launched a more ferocious attack, but whether it was David West's mid-range shot or Paul George's jump shot, they all failed!

10-0,12-0,14-0,16-0……

When Zuo Li slapped Hibbert's layup on the backboard, the Knicks started with a 16-0 run.

Hibbert looked at Zuo Li who quickly disappeared in front of him after covering him up...

No, you’re a bastard!?

So fast!!!

"Didi!"

The referee stopped the game.

The Pacers finally called a timeout...

"This... an unexpected start. The Knicks increased their defensive intensity. They blocked all the Pacers' attacks, and they completely gave up positional warfare. The average offense only took 8.5 seconds! The ultimate offensive and defensive transition, Randolph

There wasn’t even another half!”

"The Knicks-style run and gun is back!"
