Spoelstra now really wants to smack the mouths of expert reporters who write that "the Nets lineup has declined in thickness". This is called lineup thickness decline? This is simply a lineup prepared abruptly to deal with James, isn't it!

In fact, it’s a coincidence that the Nets don’t have that much demand for Butler. If Leonard is not injured, the Nets may not be so active in locking Butler in advance. But it was Leonard's injury that made the Nets eager to strengthen the wing lineup and took Butler early. And Leonard's comeback with almost full blood also allowed the team to fully form the wing group to encircle and suppress James. If one Leonard is not enough, then three heavy flanks will follow you slowly.

Wade and Mayo attacked one after another, narrowing the point difference to 10 points. The Heat finally cracked the Nets' muscular lineup. However, this lineup can be considered to have completed their mission and won enough rest time for the main players. And when Curry returned, the deformed lineup became the Heat.

Although Mayo entered the league as a combo guard, if he could really transform into a point guard, how could he end up where he is today. There is a lack of organization for point guards, a disadvantage in height for point guards, and insufficient strength. Mayo has a super giant face. Under the careful cultivation of the Grizzlies, he has only grown to the level he is today, but there is a reason. The Heat can only allow James to organize more ball-holding organizations on the court. In this way, Leonard's defense is more active and consumes more of James.

In fact, the Heat's lineup on the field is already the strongest lineup they can come up with. James organizes, Mayo, Wade to attack the Nets' defense, Bosh, and Battier to open up space. However, the situation presented on the scene is that Mayo has no obvious advantage against Curry, the "weakest" defensive lineup on the Nets' lineup. Although he can output, his efficiency is not high.

Curry's defensive level is roughly in the middle of the league's point guards. Against Westbrook, Wall has nothing to do and hopes for the assistance of his teammates, but Mayo's physical condition is not outstanding, and Curry is really not afraid of him.

Looking back, on the defensive end, the Heat's defensive expansion was a bit difficult when encountering the Nets' passing. Battier, who is seriously aging and has declined significantly, has found it difficult to defend in high-intensity confrontations, while James needs to be restrained by Leonard, unable to support the distribution of firepower covering the entire penalty area.

A deep sense of powerlessness shrouded James' heart. He even knew that the Nets he was facing were not even the strongest Nets in theory. Leonard was still facing the limit of playing time. Meng Green also didn't give enough playing time because of seniority issues, but even so, the Heat still couldn't beat the Nets! You know, entering the playoffs, Stevens will no longer be unreasonable, Leonard's playing time limit will definitely be lifted, and once there is a chance, Stevens will not hesitate to send Green in the starting lineup , by then. . . . . .

The Heat have sacrificed too much because of the formation of the Big Three. Now it is time for James to feed back the Heat and support the future of the Heat. But James doesn't think so. A championship is not even enough to support him to enter the top ten in history. If he is firmly suppressed by Curry's Nets, he is not even considered the king of this era, so what is the top ten in history? Top five, top three?

And his next family must be capable. . . . . . Now no one can say that they have the ability to beat the Nets. It should be said that they have the potential to beat the Nets!

James had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the half, and the Heat trailed the Nets by 13 points 48:61. This is the embodiment of the strength gap between the two sides.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nets used a wave of hearty consecutive scoring to instantly widen the score gap.

Curry and Leonard teamed up to take advantage of the Heat's unstable foothold to attack one after another. On the other hand, the Heat's offense made frequent mistakes. In just three minutes, the point difference widened to More than 20 points.

Spoelstra had to call out consecutive timeouts to stabilize the rhythm, but the situation did not improve.

The scoring efficiency of the Big Three is far inferior to that of the Nets, especially James. After facing Leonard in the third quarter, his offensive efficiency of 2 of 5 shots is really average. You can’t say that he doesn’t fight hard. He wanted to paddle, and he would not choose to play in a nationally broadcast game. The Nets were lined up with two lines of defense inside and outside, and James' offense was not so smooth.

In fact, the only teams in the league that dare to defend against James with a single defense from the outside, break into the penalty zone and have a big center make up for it. Only the Spurs, Thunder and Nets, these three teams, can resist James. The other teams don't have the capital to keep the wing defenders who are not scattered. They can only use double-teams to disrupt James' rhythm, but this will leave gaps for other Heat players, and James' pass Vision will definitely find its teammates.

Having Leonard is also why Stevens is relatively less afraid of the Heat. To make an inappropriate analogy, Leonard stops at James, and has some early Nadal feelings for Federer. If Nadal hadn't sniped Federer at the French Open several times, Federer might have created more incredible miracles. Of course, Nadal eventually proved that he was not only the king of clay, but eventually grew into the king of tennis against Federer.

When the third quarter ended, the score of the two teams had become 78:98, and the Heat trailed the Nets by 20 points.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Big Three of the Heat did not give up. First, James hit a three-pointer from a long distance, and then Wade and Bosh scored in singles one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Stevens quickly called a timeout and replaced all the main players on the field. After the timeout, the Nets' offensive rhythm slowed down significantly, reducing the number of offensive and defensive transitions. began to increase.

In the first offense after his debut, Curry countered the Heat with a precise three-pointer. More importantly, the ball was shot under Wade's defense.

Murder! In a strong dialogue, this kind of answer ball is a huge deterrent to the other party's heart. The 15-point difference is one aspect, and what makes the Heat even more helpless is the confidence shown by the Nets from top to bottom.

The Heat were attacking, passing the ball continuously, but never got a shot. Wade forced a shot against the defense near the free throw line, but the arc of the ball was a bit high, and the ball hit the back edge of the hoop. Fernandez jumped high from behind and forced the rebound off Beasley.

The Spaniard dunked Howard in the Olympic finals. He participated in the slam dunk contest in his rookie season, and his physical fitness is also very good.

Grabbing the rebound, Fernandez pushed the fast break at the first time, but was fouled early by Wade. The Flash's eyes at this time also showed confusion. If he was placed before, would he foul early like this? The answer lies in everyone's mind. heart.
