The Basketball Court Swordsman

Spoelstra is not stupid, this is what Henson has been telling himself. Sure enough, the Filipino coach did not sit still. At the beginning of today's game, Henson saw his changes in tactics.

Since it is difficult to break through Leonard's defense from outside the three-point line, let LeBron James act like an insider, with his back in a deep place.

On the first goal of the opening game, James hit Leonard with his back and turned to the basket to score a goal. Since losing in the 2011 Finals with the Mavericks, LeBron James has been honing his back attack skills. Last season, James' back offense was no longer his weakness. And this season, James' back has become one of his scoring weapons.

In the first offense at the American Airlines Center, the Heat scored a goal, which undoubtedly made the fans all over the arena cheered.

"LeBron did a good job catching the ball in the low post. It seems that Coach Spoelstra did make his own changes based on Leonard’s starting start. On the defensive end, let’s see, the Heat. What will change."

Mike Brin was one of the commentators for this game. In the first two conference finals, he explained the Spurs vs. Grizzlies game in San Antonio. Although the Grizzlies eliminated the Thunder this season, they made it to the Western Conference Finals when no one was optimistic. But after encountering the Lao Lao Spurs, the Grizzlies seemed to be somewhat powerless.

At present, the big score in the Western Conference Finals has become 2-0, and Brin has long heard that the Eastern Conference finals will be quite intense. The big score is 1 to 1, not to mention, the two games were only at the last minute. Today, he finally has the opportunity to witness the style of the Eastern Conference Finals!

The Eastern Conference finals are more exciting than the Western Conference finals, and if there were no Indiana Pacers, this might not have happened.

For the first time the Heat defended, as Henson expected, they were more concerned about Leonard.

With the first goal in the opening game, Leonard used the screen to break through James to hit the basket. Leonard's performance in the last game has always been talked about, and Henson does not intend to hide it. That number 2 is his main offensive point, there is nothing to hide.

But unlike the contraction of the previous game, in this game, the Heat resolutely implemented a man-to-man defense, which prevented the rest of the Pacers from getting a gap. In the last game, if it weren't for Leonard's last minute breakthrough and assists George to hit a three-pointer, the Heat would not be so passive.

Although Leonard still relied on his long arms and his already greatly improved offensive ability to make a layup to tie the score. But I have to say that the Heat's tactics are executed very correctly. I would rather allow Leonard to make a 2-pointer than a 2-pointer than the Pacers to use a three-pointer to open the score.

The first round of both sides' offense and defense was very fierce, and they played back and forth. And this game did not disappoint Mike Brin and Henson. The Heat really weren't that easy to defeat. After 8 minutes of the game, the points difference still did not widen. In the same way, it is no longer possible to contain the Heat.

"Maybe, today there will be another game with a very close point difference." Eight minutes later in the first quarter, Henson called the game to stop, and Mike Brin was able to catch his breath.

"For now, although both sides have successful offense and defense, they can't find a way to open the score. Let's see how the coaches of the two teams will rotate the lineup after this timeout." Kay Wen Harlan cast his sights on the benches of the two teams. On the Heat's side, Mike Miller and Battier have removed their training uniforms.

It seems that the Heat's rotation is the same as before. The Big Three will continue to play, with James holding the ball instead, Mike Miller and Battier providing three-point firepower. James has a very strong impact, and equipping him with a shooter is undoubtedly the most effective way to tear the Pacers' defense.

Kevin Harlan couldn't understand the rotation of the Pacers.

Ray Allen and Livingston are still wearing training uniforms, but Stephenson and Jimmy Butler are already wearing jerseys eager to try. Harlan smiled, it seems that Henson's change is coming!

"Remember the content of your two-day practice, don't care about people's eyes, do what you should do!" Before the timeout ended, Henson pushed Stephenson and Jimmy Butler onto the court.

At this time, the lineup of the Pacers became Paul, Stephenson, Jimmy Butler, Yi Jianlian and Anderson, which is an extremely unusual lineup match. And every time he saw Henson's substitutions not playing cards according to the routine, Spoelstra was nervous.

"Playing Jimmy Butler and Stephenson at the same time...this is not a regular rotation. The functions of these two guards are somewhat overlapped. It stands to reason that this lineup should be on the'death defense' lineup. Once again, We don’t know what Coach Henson wants to do, but I hope his plan will succeed."

After coming back from the timeout, James always felt uncomfortable. Finally, he discovered that the cause of the uncomfortableness was that fellow Stephenson, who had been staring at him.

James tried to ignore it, but his eyes never left James' body from start to finish.

In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, the Pacers attacked first. Paul was personally taken care of by his friend James. This lineup gave James reason to believe that Paul was the Pacers’ first scoring point at this time.

But Paul stopped two steps away from the three-point line. He didn't intend to break through, and he didn't want to cover. Instead, it hangs the ball high and sends it low.

"Give it to Anderson!?" James turned his head in surprise, only to find that the ball was not in the hands of Chris Anderson, but instead fell into the hands of Stephenson, who was in the middle of the right side with a back position!

"Stevenson faces Wade with the ball, won't he? Coach Henson wants to use Stephenson to open the score?"

Turning on the phone yesterday, there were countless hot girls nearby sending messages to Stephenson. As long as he wants to, he can turn his hotel room into a paradise that all men dream of with a few text messages. But he chose to obey Henson's orders, turn off the lights and cell phone, and go to bed obediently.

So when training this morning, Stephenson's state made Fraser very happy. And this move suddenly turned around after holding the ball behind his back, Stephenson and Fraser have repeated countless times on the training ground!

After feeling Wade's defense with his back, Stephenson suddenly turned and approached the basket with Wade as the axis! Stephenson turned very quickly, and Wade made a big step in time to get stuck in Stephenson's position. The experience and consciousness of the "Flash" are still there, but the knees that are one year old are obviously a little overwhelmed.

When Stephenson turned hard and hit the rim straight along the bottom line, Wade felt that he could not keep up with the speed of the No. 1 guard!

Stephenson took two strides, even before Chris Bosh arrived with a light arm, licking the basket beautifully!

"The goal is scored. Stephenson's low post single Wade succeeded! This..." Mike Brin didn't know how to explain the game for a while. Stephenson had always had scoring talent, but Henson asked him to single Wade. , It seems unreasonable...

In fact, Henson doesn't care whether a thing is reasonable. Two years ago, it was unreasonable for him to play a major and four minors, and it was unreasonable for him to pick a player who was not favored in the draft. Henson does not judge a thing by reason, he only cares whether it is effective!

Stephenson and Wade are not the same level of athletes, but Stephenson singles Wade can score, then this is effective!

In the next round, James thought he could kill the Quartet after getting rid of Leonard. However, the guy in front of him named Jimmy Butler is not annoying on the defensive end.

James still remembers that when he played in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, this guy was not even selected for the Pacers' final 12-man roster. But this year's regular season, Jimmy Butler suddenly appeared. The Heat lost to the Pacers for the first time this season, precisely because of the emergence of Jimmy Butler.

James continued to sit inside, planning to use the old method to deal with Jimmy Butler. But he just received the ball in the low post, and the double-team of "Birdman" Anderson came!

"The double team was very decisive. Coach Henson must have arranged it long ago!"

Under the double-teaming of two rough guys Anderson and Jimmy Butler, James doesn't even talk about passing the ball, he can't even see the picture before his eyes.

After struggling for a while, James passed the ball to Wade. Wade hurriedly shot from the horn on the right, but unexpectedly Stephenson leaped forward and fanned the basketball out!

Wade didn't have many matchups with Stephenson in this series. After all, in the previous two games, Stephenson played most of the time as a defender at the position.

Compared to George's calmness, Stephenson's defense is more aggressive. With the kind of ball just now, George would at best stretch his arms to interfere, and he would definitely not take off. But Stephenson doesn't care about you so much, if you dare to vote, he is not afraid of fouls!

"Nice blocking! Stephenson's enthusiasm is the reason he can have a place in the Pacers! The Pacers have started to double-team James, and the Heat's offense is in trouble again!"

Although this block caused an uproar in the audience, James and Wade did not react much. The two of them have been up and down for so many years, have they not seen anything? It's just a cap once, no big deal.

Bosh is ready to serve the touchline, while James is standing at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, ready to run to catch the ball. At this moment, Stephenson, who had been staring at him, stood beside James, as if he wanted to defend him himself!

James didn't care, whoever defends himself is the same, he will destroy it.

The Heat No. 6 thinks he has seen all the situations on the basketball court and he is always able to face all kinds of situations with ease.

However, Stephenson was close to the base of James's ears, and saw that the boy bulged his thick lips into an o shape, and approached James' ears ambiguously. When he approached, and then approached, James felt a gust of airflow. Then he was startled, and the braces came from his mouth. It spurts out-"Gosh, only my wife can do this to me"!

Lance Stephenson, when this joke was defending James, he breathed into the ears of the league's first man!

James thinks he has seen everything on the basketball court, except for this one.

"What is he doing..." Off the court, Vogel was stunned by Stephenson's actions.

"Good question, Frank, the ghost knows what he's doing!" Henson shook his head. He asked Stephenson and Jimmy Butler to stimulate James and Wade, who knew that Stephenson was actually using this strange way. .

James gave Stephenson a disgusting look, and Stephenson smiled triumphantly.

Obviously, in today's game, James will see a lot of strange encounters he has never encountered before...
