The Godfather of Basketball

Paul took the ball to the front court, Yao Ming pulled Bosh to the high position, Green and Carter fell to the corners on both sides, and Artest raised the high position to play a pick-and-roll for Paul.

But as soon as the Cavaliers picked and rolled, Thompson and Chalmers double-teamed Paul.

Sure enough, the Heat chose to double-team the ball-handler.

A few days of training won't change the Cavaliers' quality, but the basic concept has been established.

Artest went directly to the basket after dismantling it, Paul did not retreat but advanced, relying on Chalmers, a swinging inside pass.

Artest hit Huanglong with the ball and scored an easy layup.

The tactics of double-teaming the ball-handler are full of aggressiveness, which is a test of the ball-handling and passing ability of the opponent. Rose of the Bulls was at a loss when he was double-teamed before.

But unfortunately the Cavaliers have Paul, who is superb in attacking, ball handling, and passing. He is simply the nemesis of this tactic.

The Heat's offense, Wade held the ball outside, and the other teams opened up space, and he directly singled Green.

Green is very close, but Wade's breakthrough ability is too strong, he has already reached the basket with a change of direction, squeezed through and accelerated, and scored a layup before Yao Ming's defense.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time.

In his previous life, Wade suffered serious injuries in the 2012-13 season. The scene of pouring champagne on his knees after winning that season also became a classic. Now he is still the fast-moving "Flash".

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, still looking for Artest's pick-and-roll.

The Heat still double-team the ball holder, but the double-teaming is obviously not as thorough as before.

They also guarded against Paul's pass.

"Snapped!"

But it was this kind of incompleteness that allowed Paul to seize the opportunity and directly speed up and pass through the double-teaming of the two!

This came down very quickly, and after passing through the Heat's basket, it was Yimapingchuan.

Quick low hand layup.

Paul's performance in two consecutive rounds completely broke the Heat's double-team.

Spoelster stretched his forehead, the Heat's best tactic, and was directly broken by Paul alone.

The Heat attacked in the frontcourt, and Wade continued to attack with the ball.

At this moment, Tang Tian, ​​who was standing on the sidelines, gestured for the team to shrink their defense.

Wade's breakthrough is great, but this Heat team does not have James, and there are few three-pointers on the court, and the space cannot be opened. Shrinking is the best way to defend, and the Cavaliers' ability to shrink and expand the lineup is also very limited. very strong.

Wade squeezed past Green and rushed in, and immediately felt that there were people around, Artest, Carter, Green, it was like getting into a sealed pocket.

But he is Wade after all, found a gap in the double-team, and passed directly to Beasley on the right.

Beasley got a good three-point shot.

But he hesitated.

Three-pointers are not the way he is good at scoring.

With this hesitation, the Cavaliers' defense expanded again.

He shook Artest for a while, and then he shot a three-pointer and was directly interfered with.

"boom!"

The ball bounced off the frame, and Yao Ming pressed Thompson to receive the defensive rebound.

The ball was given to Paul, and Paul was not in a hurry to play a defensive counterattack. He pressed the rhythm to the frontcourt and played pick-and-roll.

This time the Heat didn't double-team again, and Paul played Beasley one-on-one.

Beasley's offensive ability is good, but he has never been a good defender, and he loses his center of gravity by Paul's continuous shaking.

With a change of direction, Paul threw off Beasley and went straight to the basket. Bosh played his excellent mobility and moved laterally to help defend.

Paul didn't turn his head, and threw the ball directly behind Bosh's head.

It was an alley-oop pass, but Yao Ming was too tall. After reaching out to catch the ball, he gently put him in.

There was joyful laughter at the scene.

Spoelstra kept rubbing his forehead with his hands on the sidelines.

Paul's offensive threat is too great, and he can make the most correct choice whether to clip him or not, which gives him a huge problem.

Wade took the ball up front and called Chalmers to come over to do an outside pick-and-roll. He directly faced Paul with the ball.

If you can't prevent it, then you can only foul him and get him off the field.

It's a straight-up counterpoint between two old friends.

The rest of the Heat spaced out and Bosh pulled Yao Ming to the corner.

The continuous change of direction, Paul did not hesitate, the height of 183 can become a top point guard, Paul's anticipation and ability on the defensive end are far underestimated.

Wade couldn't move, he changed direction and accelerated, trying to pass Paul with absolute speed.

But Paul has already taken a step back, blocking his breakthrough route.

Wade turned to lean on Paul again, which was going directly to draw a foul.

However, Paul is very experienced. After standing still, he raised his hands high, interfered enough and signaled to the referee that he did not make any foul actions.

Wade has no room for further adjustments, so he can only choose to adjust the fadeaway.

"boom!"

The ball was too difficult, and the ball went out of the basket.

Artest has rich experience and stuck Thompson to receive defensive rebounds.

The Heat didn't score for 3 consecutive rounds!

Paul dribbles downfield and plays pick-and-rolls.

The players on the Heat felt that their heads were getting bigger.

"Flanker! Flank!"

Spoelstra yelled from the sidelines that, as a head coach, he made a choice.

Beasley and Chalmers pinched Paul again, Paul pulled back and gave Artest a lob.

Artest went under the basket, Bosh retracted, and he returned to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming saw Wade, who was about to change defense, and directly pointed to Carter, who was at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Carter threw a 3-pointer on the catch.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Carter also scored a three-pointer!

9 to 2.

The Cavaliers' offense played smoothly.

Spoelster stretched his hand and called a timeout.

Paul's consecutive singles, Artest's pre-run, Yao Ming's ball, the Cavaliers are clearly prepared!

This is not at the same level as the Eagles and Bulls they encountered before.

After the timeout, the Heat arranged a three-pointer tactic.

Bosh pulled up to the high position to catch Wade's point and hit a three-pointer, and the Heat finally continued to score.

A three-pointer is very thirst-quenching, but Spoelstra is not the kind of coach with a particularly good on-the-spot response. He did not adjust the lineup and insisted on double-teaming Paul with the ball. As a result, the Cavaliers' offensive end directly exploded .

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored 38 points in a single quarter!

38 to 20, with a 18-point difference in a single quarter, the game was ruined in one quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides came on the bench. Jeremy Lin seemed a little uncomfortable under the double-team. The Heat once closed the point difference to about 10 points.

But in the playoffs, there was not much time to play off the bench. After the main force was replaced, the point difference was pulled to 20 points again.

Unable to defend, unable to play a defensive counterattack, and being strangled to death in the positional battle, the Heat were completely defeated by the Cavaliers.
