The opening three-pointer in basketball

Tomorrow is the start of the finals, and the Timberwolves have a team training today.

In fact, whatever techniques and tactics you need to train at this time are all bluffing. This team training is just a warm-up.

Let the players not play too crazy and maintain their physical condition.

It also has a mobilizing effect.

Bai Yi naturally also participated. He found that everyone was in good mental condition and seemed to have good shooting skills.

The entire team is in a positive state.

But there is one thing that is a little strange, that is, head coach Adelman did not come to the training facility.

Soon after, the warm-up was over and the media photo-taking was over.

Bai Yi was about to leave when Connelly called out to him.

The head coach didn't come and the general manager called him to stop him. Bai Yi was a little surprised and he had some guesses.

"Bai, are you surprised? Adelman didn't come over today."

"There will be some."

"I have some bad news to tell you. Adelman is sick. He has a high fever. Considering his age, he may need to rest for about a week."

That's three games a week.

In other words, Adelman will have to take three games off, two at home and one away.

This is the finals. Without the coach's on-the-spot guidance, it will definitely be a test for the Timberwolves.

Bai Yi was a little irritated. Morris was injured before, and now Adelman is sick.

God seems to be making his road to promotion more difficult.

They rest less than the Heat, and they rotate less.

Faced with such a situation, I can only say that it is too difficult.

It's simply hell mode now.

Connelly continued: "Adelman said that he believes in your ability. You are the head coach on the court and you can take his place."

Bai Yi couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

Adelman is seventy years old and has been coaching for decades.

How could he, a young man, have better coaching ability than the experienced Adelman?

More importantly, he has limited energy on the court.

When playing against the Heat, he has to be distracted to observe the form of the game. How can he have such good energy?

The Heat are a stronger team than the Thunder, so where does he have so much energy to think about other things.

Connelly also saw that Bai Yi was in a dilemma, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "This is the only way we can do it now, we have no other better way."

It's not that Bai Yi can't understand.

He was just a little irritable, but after he calmed down, he would not refuse his responsibilities.

If he doesn't step forward, will he rely on Rubio, Love, or even Connelly?

He paused and then said: "Coach, needless to say, I understand the team's difficulties. Since Adelman trusts me, I will not let him down."

Connelly patted Bai Yi's shoulder gratefully, "There is a pile of information in Adelman's office, as well as game suggestions. You can go and browse it at any time."

Bai Yi nodded and went directly to Connelly's office.

Soon after he saw the information.

As a traditional old-school NBA coach.

Adelman is very meticulous in searching for information. There is information about all Heat players here.

For example, James’s points per game, steals per game, and rebounds.

As well as James' accustomed breakthrough route, as well as defensive suggestions.

In addition to the players, there is also the coaching habits of Heat coach Spoelstra.

For example, when Spoelstra likes to make substitutions, and what kind of techniques and tactics he likes to shout after a timeout, they are all here.

Bai Yi himself also watches Heat games, and he is also studying the Heat.

But to be honest, he doesn't have such a deep understanding of the Heat.

After reading Adelman's information, he realized that there was so much information about the Heat, especially some of the details, which were very important to him.

Bai Yi watched carefully and with great concentration. He watched for three hours. By the time he came to his senses, it was already noon.

He then ordered a pasta and sat in Adelman's office to continue reading.

In the evening, Bai Yi left the training base and took away a piece of information collected by Adelman.

According to Adelman, the Heat are the most complete team in the league.

This completeness means that the Heat are very comprehensive, attacking both inside and outside, as a team, as individuals, in positions, and on fast breaks.

When the game is tense, they still have superstars stepping up.

The defensive end is also very good. He can help defend or defend alone. The players cooperate well and the core players are in their prime.

No team in the league can compare with this comprehensiveness.

The Pacers are somewhat similar, but the Pacers are not very good at superstars and offense.

So it is actually very difficult to beat the Heat.

In last season's Finals, the reason why the Mavericks won was not because their team had a better lineup, but because of the superb performance of Nowitzki and several teammates.

It can be said that it took the Mavericks' luck for several years to win the championship.

Facing a team like the Heat, it's difficult to limit them on the defensive end.

However, the Heat are also inferior to the Timberwolves, and that is that the Heat's scoring power is not as explosive.

The Heat's most stable scoring point is James.

The most powerful thing about Lao Zhan is attacking the frame, but once the opposing team shrinks its defense, Lao Zhan will feel a lot more uncomfortable.

James isn't used to being double-teamed either.

Under such circumstances, the Heat's daily score is 978 points, which is nearly 120 points compared to the Timberwolves. There is still a big gap.

Adelman's suggestion is to shrink the defense when the time comes and not easily give James Wade the space to rush to the frame.

Then compete with the Heat to score.

Bai Yi thinks Adelman's idea is correct, but this suggestion may not be successful.

After all, almost all teams in the league know James' characteristics, but even if they shrink the defense, as long as they rush up, neither of you can stop him, and you can only foul.

In other words, even if the defense is reduced, it is impossible to completely restrict James.

As the face of the league after Kobe Bryant, James is definitely strong enough.

In addition, don't look at James's ugly shooting posture.

But his shooting percentage is higher than Westbrook Harden, which means he can't compare to mid-range experts like Durant.

Even if you shrink your defense, it doesn't mean James can't score points.

Wade's type is somewhat similar to James.

Wade is also good at rushing the frame, but he relies more on speed, while Lao James relies on strength.

And Wade can also shoot, with a higher shooting percentage than James.

The Thunder's three young men are terrible when they shoot crazy, and the Heat's big three are equally powerful when they shoot crazy.

So it doesn't mean that shrinking defense will solve the problem.

Whether the game can be won at the end depends more on whether the team can outscore the Heat.

Bai Yi looked at it for a long time and thought a lot. He felt that maybe he should add some points to other attributes again, especially the ones he relied on most, which were not far from the full value...
