Chapter 360 Top Strategic Competition(1/2)
Dwyane Wade hit a 3-pointer.
He broke through Vince Carter's defense, retreated to the three-point line with a step-back, and hit the shot.
Both Wade and James are working hard to increase their three-point shooting training this season. Although they are not good at three-point shooting, they both know that if they want to win, they must contribute more from outside the three-point line.
This is also where they privately discussed and evaluated the biggest difference between themselves and Fan Xi. Fan Xi has a stable three-point shooting ability. Although his three-point shooting ability with the ball is mediocre, his three-point shooting without the ball is at the level of a professional shooter.
Wade's three-pointer saves face for Miami.
Looking back, Fanci made a single attack deep into the paint area. Miami quickly shrank. Fanci easily passed the ball and Nowitzki caught the ball and hit the ball in the mid-range.
The Miami Heat are actually inferior to the Lakers in terms of overall performance and defense.
Fanshee doesn't even need a screen to get into their paint with ease, and Marcus Camby's defensive quality is a few notches below Dwight Howard's.
If the three major rotations were not unable to play, under optimistic conditions, Fanshie even felt that it would not take five games to defeat Miami.
Nowitzki entered attack mode, and LeBron James also launched an attack.
James has made rapid progress over the years, and all of his skills have improved. Although when he fell into position, Leonard thought he was better defensive than Kobe, but when LeBron James rushed forward, Leonard's defense seemed weak.
He couldn't stop James' attack. James drove to the basket, attracted a double attack, and passed the ball to Chris Bosh, who hit a mid-range jumper.
It's almost the same as Fan Xi's moves.
The difference is... Miami has two such engines. Although Wade's condition this season is slightly worse than last season due to injuries and other reasons, he is still one of the top five players in the league.
The game moves forward according to this rhythm.
For a while, the fight was inextricable.
The first quarter ended quickly.
The Clippers, playing away games, went to the bench with a 5-point lead at 32:27.
The game didn't turn out to be as devastating as Miami expected. They didn't lead.
However, the Heat quickly found their rhythm after being beaten in the opening game and showed long-term resilience.
"Although I hope the Clippers can win this game, if the game continues like this, it is very likely that Miami will win. Miami's Big Three are more outstanding. They just lack Haslem and their combat power will not suffer much.
The Clippers' rotation is going to have a big problem."
Charles Barkley said this during a timeout between quarters.
This made the audience in front of the TV sigh. Their mood was even stronger than that of Barkley. Who didn't want Fan Xi to win? Especially the women, they didn't want to see Fan Xi defeated by those evil ugly monsters.
.
The second quarter of the game started quickly.
James and Wade started the counterattack, and they played particularly well. Sean Battier, who came on the court, shot very accurately from beyond the three-point line. He made up for the lack of Mac Miller.
The Heat gained some initiative with the support of their home fans.
But they did not recover the points in the second quarter.
Because the Clippers' rotation of Arenas, Hamilton, Grant Hill and Yao Ming all performed well.
The Clippers made frequent substitutions in the second quarter, and every player played a microwave role.
The Heat's charge failed to work in this wave of crowd tactics.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers still led by 3 points at 55:52.
On the scene, the Heat's Big Three seemed to be quite magnificent. James and Wade both performed eye-catchingly, and the wave of counterattack surged like a tidal wave.
At halftime, even Kenny Smith, a die-hard Vanhee fan, began to worry about the Clippers' victory.
Because it seems like the Clippers have used up all the moves they can use.
The atmosphere in the American Airlines Center has reached an unprecedented high. When the Heat players left the court, they all started shouting MVP.
Although I don’t know whether to shout it to Wade, who performed well tonight, or to James.
The Clippers players were also very excited. They high-fived the excited fans in the tunnel.
In contrast, the Clippers players walked back to the locker room calmly one by one.
Fan Xi refused a half-time interview with a tnt reporter.
These comparisons and information seem to show that the Clippers are relatively depressed, while the Heat are already enthusiastically preparing to win the game.
"Marcus, did you see that? As long as we maintain our emotions, we can easily win. Ignore Jack Fan's psychological tactics, he is best at irritating his opponents."
When Wade walked into the locker room, he was the first to find Camby. He said to his old teammate: "Nothing is more important than winning the championship."
Wade said Camby nodded repeatedly. Camby entered the league in 1996. He is an outstanding representative of the golden generation, but as of now, he has not won a championship.
If he had a championship ring, this grumpy guy would be able to tolerate some things. Although being dunked twice by Fan Xi made him anxious.
"Brothers, a great situation has begun. We don't want to give Los Angeles any more chances."
"As long as we get the first win, the second win will come naturally. Then, we'll go to Los Angeles and get the third win, and then the fourth win."
James was particularly excited and gave a speech in the locker room: "The Clippers are on the verge of collapse. Did you see the second quarter? They can only frequently use old players to cover their shame, but this kind of unsystematic battle is impossible in the finals."
It's about to start. We're going to destroy them in the third quarter, and it's going to be a massacre in the fourth quarter. Then we can win by as many points as we want!"
"Victory belongs to Miami!!"
James shouted loudly.
Teammates around him echoed: "Victory belongs to Miami."
The Heat players were very excited. Under James' words, they saw the possibility of winning the championship and winning it all.
Before the start of this game, they already knew that the Clippers were on the verge of collapse, and tonight was just another huge boulder thrown on the dying camel.
The home team's locker room was filled with excitement and anticipation.
They can't help but dream about wearing a championship ring.
…
In the visiting team's locker room, Fanci was sitting next to Nowitzki. Nowitzki was flanked in the second quarter and he didn't play very well.
Nowitzki is a player who is very capable in singles with the ball and also very capable off the ball. In terms of offense, he is the strongest power forward position.
"Let's play pick-and-roll in the second half."
Fan Xi said to Nowitzki.
This was a secret weapon they had buried during the regular season, and they originally planned to use it when they faced the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. But by some strange combination of circumstances, they advanced without even using it against the Lakers.
This time, the Clippers did encounter a serious crisis.
Then, the only way is to take out this secret weapon.
Nowitzki thought for a while and said: "We are still ahead now, how about we work hard and rush forward?"
Fan Xi also thought about it and nodded.
Then, he called Billups over, and he said to Billups: "In the second half, you take charge. Just like Jason Kidd did last season, let Dirk lead the offense. I moved without the ball, and Lennon
Nader plays the secondary offense and Jordan defends."
Billups nodded quickly: "That's no problem. I can do everything that old Kidd can do. Even if I don't do it well in some aspects, you can still help guide me. What's more, my three-pointers are better than the old one."
Kidd is much more stable."
Then, Fanci chatted with Leonard and Jordan again, and then made plans with the coaching staff.
Next, Nowitzki personally drew the Mavericks' tactical line on the tactical board.
Everyone understands it instantly.
After all, Jordan's function is similar to that of Tyson Chandler, and the two are complementary to each other.
Nowitzki is still the same Nowitzki.
Although Leonard is not as mobile as Shawn Marion, he is worse than the elderly Marion in every aspect. This is an indisputable fact.
It was not easy for Fan Xi to defeat Jason Terry in seconds.
Billups and Jason Kidd each have their own merits.
“Dream come true!”
After Nowitzki discussed the tactics with the coaching staff, he felt strong emotions. He did not expect that the Mavericks vs. Heat, which was not completed in the playoffs last year, would be completed in this way with the Clippers this season.
The Mavericks coaching staff shouldn't scold me for leaking tactical secrets, right?
Nowitzki couldn't help but laugh.
Because he realized that since the team sent him to Los Angeles to realize his dream, wouldn't he be using the Mavericks' tactics to help Dallas realize their dream?
…
Beep!
The second half of the game started quickly.
Mark Cuban has been sitting in front of the TV watching the game. He has deep feelings for Nowitzki and has always supported Dirk. So when the Clippers entered the finals, he burst into tears because he wanted to do it so much.
