Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

In the last life, after the end of the 2011 season, the Finals naturally became the focus of people's analysis, because everyone wanted to know why the Heat, who were so strong on paper, and why almost everyone was optimistic about it, were defeated by the Mavericks.

There are different opinions, and each has their own reasons. For example, from a player's point of view, the Mavericks' core Dirk beating the Heat's James should be the most recognized. After all, 8 points in a single game in the finals, in addition to being able to pull out Kobe Bryant who left the game early due to being stepped down when he was young.

And in that game where he only scored 2 points, you really can't find any superpower who performed like this.

But in fact, from a scoring perspective, Zuo Li agrees with the view that the Heat were beaten by the Mavericks.

The data doesn't lie. In the last lifetime, the Mavericks averaged 20.7 three-pointers per game, hit 8.5 three-pointers, and hit 41.1% from the field.

The Heat averaged 21.7 three-pointers per game, hitting 7.5 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 34.6%. This three-point shooting percentage ranked seventh among all 16 teams in the playoffs.

.

Just do a simple addition and subtraction and you will know that the Mavericks average one fewer three-point shot per game than the Heat, but the number of hits is exactly one more than the Heat!

Combined with the fact that the Heat only lost to the Mavericks by 2.5 points per game in the entire series, it can be said that it was this three-point gap that destroyed the Heat.

Then it can be seen from the number of shots taken by the two teams that the Heat actually have more opportunities from beyond the three-point line than the Mavericks. It can also be seen from the number of three-point shots the Heat faced different opponents throughout the playoffs. Spoelstra actually

The Heat's outside shots have been added.

The Heat's three-point attempts in the four rounds of the 2011 playoffs were: 19.4 three-pointers per game against the 76ers in the first round; 18 three-pointers per game against the Celtics in the second round; and 18 three-pointers per game against the Bulls in the third round.

Averaged 11.6 three-point attempts.

But obviously, increasing your shots will not solve the problem, because your failure to make shots is the biggest problem!

Making another shot after a missed shot is another kind of harm to the team.

But sometimes, there is nothing you can do if you don't shoot. For example, right now, Wade and James actually don't want to shoot, especially Wade. As you can see from the above data, he is even more reluctant to shoot three-pointers than Lao James, and

His state in this year's playoffs is very, very good. Wade played a major role in the previous victory over the Bulls and can be called the team's biggest contributor.

but!

The Heat's tactics tonight are centered around James for the first time in a long time. Because James played very well against the Knicks in the regular season, Spoelstra formulated this tactic before the game, so Wade was always there in the first quarter.

Cover James, and then occupy space through his off-ball movement.

So in fact, the Heat's passivity at this time is mostly caused by James' slump.

Although James also scored the Heat's highest 6 points halfway through the quarter, it was obvious that this was not in line with the expectations of the fans and the team for him.

After all, Zuoli next door had already scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 6 minutes, and his shooting rate reached 100%.

But James is also in trouble at this time. Of course he wants to perform better. In fact, no one wants to defeat the Knicks and Zuoli more than he does.

But he really encountered great difficulties. The Knicks' defense was too targeted. Of course, what he was most sure of was a breakthrough. But Battier stood in front of him, Zuo Li and Randolph closed the door, and even Dan Dan

Negrin's assist defense and cutting ball made it impossible for him to break through!

In the last life, Chandler and Barea's defense made Lao James miserable. In this life, it was replaced by Zuo Liga Battier, and the defensive attributes soared to the top. James will naturally have more difficulties than in the previous life.

He also tried two three-pointers, but after hitting them all, he was a little timid from taking any more shots.

As I said before, James is not Kobe. He is not the kind of person who dares to shoot the buzzer-beater even if he fails to make the first 20 shots. On the contrary, James plays very smart and rationally. After a few missed shots, he will start to switch.

The way you play, or just start feeding the ball to your teammates.

For example, just now, James started to stand near the free throw line and deal cards. He passed the ball several times, but his teammates failed to seize the opportunity.

There is nothing wrong with this in itself, and it will even have very good results in many cases, but at critical moments, it will definitely lack a bit of momentum to move forward, and now, in fact, what the Heat need most is this momentum.

Bang bang bang bang!

Amidst the sounds of iron, the first quarter of the game ended with the score 30-18. The Knicks successfully completed the task of blocking James. As long as Janeway does not break out, the Heat will be a very ordinary team.

But there is good news. The Knicks basically finished the first quarter with all their main players. In the second quarter, Zuo Li and other defensive players will definitely need some time to rest. This may be an opportunity for the Heat!

Spoelstra thought the same thing, so he asked Wade, who played 9 minutes in the first quarter, to lead half of the main team on the court, with the purpose of attacking the Knicks' defense and best breaking up the Knicks' zone defense.

However, the Knicks' second quarter lineup is: Anderson, David Lee, Ke Liu, Bellinelli and Beverley.

Although it seems that the defense is not good, the Knicks do not play zone defense!

Anderson and Beverley teamed up, one inside and one outside to suppress Wade, one followed like candy, and the other inside stared at Wade to defend.

So although the defense of this substitute lineup has indeed declined, it is still really uncomfortable for Wade!

Accelerate with all your strength, take lightning steps, and make breakthrough throws!

The basketball flew past Anderson's fingertips and landed in the net!

"pretty!"

Commentators from all walks of life were cheering for the reappearance of the European step, but Wade couldn't laugh, because this was his first score in the second quarter. He also knew the reason from the defense he just encountered. Although it was possible to play like this

Fight, but the efficiency will not be too high, and he will also be very tired.

So Spoelstra, who saw this, replaced Bosh in the third minute of the second quarter, wanting to share the pressure with Wade.

However, when Bosh faced David Lee, he could attack offensively, but he couldn't get any advantage defensively. Do you understand the value of David Lee's offense?

So for a while, the two sides formed a situation of mutual explosion, and the scores alternately increased.

When James came back and the Big Three were ready to show off their power, the Knicks immediately made substitutions and added a zone defense in the starting lineup!

James: "@$#%??#!!!"

Lao Zhan’s negative emotions +10086…

After halftime, the Heat were already 19 points behind.

In the third quarter of the game, the Heat's physical fitness declined seriously. Their path to the playoffs was not as easy as the Knicks'. In addition, they were always passive, suppressed, and harassed the main force for a long time, which caused their defensive concentration to decline.

It's completely over now, the offense can't open up, and the defense can't limit the Knicks' attacking group on the left.

When Zuo Li dunked Bosh with a straight and bold breakthrough, and successfully scored the 30th point of the night, the entire Madison Square Garden stood up and cheered for him again:

“MVP————!!!”

After the third quarter, the Knicks led 68-48 by 20 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Heat launched a final attack, but after Lao Zhan was blocked by Zuo Li, Spoelstra decisively chose to let the game go.

There are 6 minutes left on the clock and the game officially enters garbage time.

When he saw James being replaced, Barkley sighed: "This game was so reasonable to win."
