The Heat flanked Curry in advance. Curry passed the ball directly to the open space, and the open teammates caught the ball and shot!
If it is a pick-and-roll, Lopez will get a lot of assists as a setter. Although Curry contributes the most, there is no reflection in the statistics.
Singles like this are different now.
As long as the Heat are flanking, Curry will pass to an open teammate to get an assist!
No flanking attack?
Then I will have unlimited singles!
Why is this possible?
Or because Curry has the strongest shooting in NBA history!
When running without the ball, I have to switch defenses. Once I switch defenses, I can challenge!
In the final analysis, this result is caused by Curry's diverse scoring methods and outstanding shooting ability!
Otherwise, let Rose and Westbrook try it and see how the Heat will deal with them!
In the Eastern Conference finals between the Heat and the Bulls, Rose was the one who was left short!
As long as he is outside the three-point line, no one cares about him!
After the pick-and-roll, Mike Bibby always stayed behind and couldn't come out!
Rose running without the ball?
You can run as you like and follow slowly, as long as you are not allowed to catch the ball in an open position under the basket!
Do you have teammates to cover for you?
Useless!
Even if no one gives you cover, I won't chase you too closely!
To put it bluntly, everything is caused by not having a basket!
When you are accurate in three-pointers and can throw the ball in any position or posture, the opponent will not dare to let you go!
In order to limit Curry, the Heat had to attack in advance.
Prince and others immediately got a lot of shooting opportunities!
The Warriors are raining down arrows!
There was nothing Spoelstra could do.
Let Curry take on Mike Bibby, Haslem and Bosh?
It's better to bet on Tucker and Kirilenko's three-pointer!
Fortunately, Wade and Bosh stepped up. The two felt good and hit several mid-range shots in a row to help the Heat cling to the score.
Soon, after the first quarter, the score became 39:22, with the Warriors leading by 17 points!
Curry scored 15 points in a single quarter and also sent out 7 assists!
Most of the Warriors' scoring is related to Curry!
James did not score in a single sports game, only grabbed 4 rebounds, and scored 1 point on a free throw with a second offensive opportunity obtained from a frontcourt board!
Even the free throws were one of two!
At the same time, James also made three mistakes!
This is the consequence of not shooting!
The game started quickly in the second quarter. The Warriors put on the second lineup, and the Heat also put on several substitutes: Chalmers, James Jones, Mac Miller, James and Bosh.
The Heat have a purely offensive lineup. James Jones and Mac Miller are both very reliable shooters, and Chalmers and Bosh are also good three-pointers.
Obviously, James has become ruthless. Spoelstra paired him with four shooters!
Joel Anthony and Haslem are no longer needed, the ones who come up are all capable of shooting!
One star everywhere!
Let’s see if the Warriors dare to shrink their defense this time!
Deng Fang wants Curry to get better data, and the Heat do the same.
Deng Fang wants to restrict James, and the Heat will definitely not let Deng Fang succeed.
Although the Heat are the Big Three, and although James, Wade and Bosh were the bosses of their respective teams before, it is obvious that James is stronger and his status is higher.
Even compared with Wade, the team spirit of the Heat, James' right to speak is not much worse, or even more!
With Wade's character, even if the Heat treat him a little badly, he won't have any complaints, at least he won't leave.
James is different!
If the Heat dare to make James unhappy, he might just walk away!
Therefore, making James feel comfortable and happy is Spoelstra's first mission!
Only when James is comfortable can the team win!
Only when he wins can his coaching position be stabilized!
How to make James play comfortably?
That is to equip him with more and better shooters!
What our emperor needs is offensive space!
Our emperor doesn't have a shot, so give him a few guys who can!
If you defend well in the starting lineup, then let me come on the bench to improve the statistics!
Deng Fang was well prepared for this.
The five players on the court for the Warriors are Lowry, Azubuike, Laga Bell, Hayward and Kirilenko.
Bosh goes to Kirilenko!
Do you want James to brush up the data? I won't give you this opportunity!
Are you outside shooters? I will play a small lineup, switch defenses infinitely, and never give you a chance to shoot outside!
Even if he can't prevent it, he won't give James a chance to improve his statistics!
Deng Fang's arrangement is very simple, that is, unlimited defense changes and assisting defense to fill positions!
Laga Bell takes a step back to defend James? Doesn't give him a chance to break through? Others are ready to help defend against the attack.
If James breaks through and scores the ball? Then focus on covering the first open space? Don't let James get an assist!
If the Heat want to score? They have to pass the ball one more time? They can only let others solve the battle!
Since James controls most of the ball, the players who play around James are used to catching and shooting? Their ability to handle the ball is not very good.
The less accustomed you are to what you do? The more I want you to do it!
James broke through to the free throw line? Laga Bell and Kirilenko double-teamed, and James had to pass the ball to James Jones on the outside.
Azubuike desperately rushed to block James Jones' shot, and James Jones had to pass the ball to Mac Miller.
Lagabell had already used this time to run over from near the free throw line and stood in front of Miller.
Of course, no matter how fast Lagabell is, it still takes time, so Mac Miller has time to shoot.
But in this way, Miller's chance to shoot is not very good, not a wide open space.
The most important point is that even if Miller made the shot, the assist was not from James!
The five players on the Warriors field are all very defensive, even Lowry can switch defenses infinitely!
The name "Little Steel Cannon" is not deserved!
Laga Bell only plays ten minutes in each game, so it would be appropriate for him to come up and fight James for a while!
Even the rookie Hayward has no problem on the defensive end due to his excellent golf intelligence and physical fitness.
It's a headache for James to play Laga Bell in isolation, and the pick-and-roll is not easy to use.
The one guarding Bosh is Kirilenko. As long as Bosh comes up for the pick-and-roll, it will be Kirilenko who is in front of James!
It’s better not to pick and roll!
Military training Lori?
Lowry is faster than Laga Bell, and his strength is not bad, but he is a little shorter.
The disadvantage of short players on the defensive end is that it is difficult to defend shots. What they are least afraid of is breakthroughs.
And James just doesn't shoot well!
Deng Fang carefully found this lineup during the offseason, just for this time!
The Warriors' defense is airtight, and James is still playing very unhappy.
Relying on James' breakthrough, the Heat can still score, but James' data has not changed at all!
One doesn’t matter, two is fine, but what about three or four?
My emperor is very calm and shrewd, and any changes on the big screen can be observed.
Our emperor wants to be the best in history. How can we fight without data?
Better than the champion?
It seems impossible at the moment.
Than loyalty?
That is a joke to our emperor!
What else can you compare to?
Just data!
Now that I can’t even get the data, of course my emperor is not happy!
The Warriors were well prepared on the defensive end, their defense was airtight, and they also did well on the offensive end.
Lowry constantly cooperated with his teammates in pick-and-rolls, seizing the Heat's defensive weaknesses and hammering them hard!
Since you have an offensive lineup, you must have weaknesses on the defensive end.
James Jones and Miller are just that, Chalmers' defense can't be said to be that good!
After a season of practice, Lowry is also good at shooting three-pointers.
Although it is much worse than Curry, Lowry's emergency three-pointer still poses a certain threat.
At least the Heat don't dare to shrink their defense. They can only switch defense when Lowry picks and rolls.
This is what the Warriors want!
Regardless of whether it's James Jones or Mac Miller, as long as he switches defense in front of Lowry, he becomes a wooden stake. Lowry is accurate every time he breaks out!
The Heat can only help defend.
Lowry's passing ability is also good, and the Warriors' outside shooters continue to get open opportunities!
Although Lowry is much worse than Curry, the scoring efficiency of the Warriors' second lineup is not low.
At least it's much better than the Heat!
The second quarter lasted for more than 5 minutes, but the point difference widened by 4 points!
Spoelstra called another timeout.
James still hasn’t scored a single point in a sports game!
James played for 17 consecutive minutes and only scored 4 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 turnovers!
James scored 3 points in the second quarter, 2 of which were obtained from the second attack after grabbing the frontcourt board, and the other 1 was a technical foul free throw!
There was nothing Deng Fang could do about it.
What can you do if a small forward transforms into a center, does not retreat, rushes wildly to grab the frontcourt board and then scores on the second attack?
Technical foul free throws are not allowed to James Jones, who has a free throw percentage of over 90%, but James takes the free throws himself. What can you do?
Deng Fang can't help but let James take free throws...
The point difference widened to 21 points, and the Heat were already in danger.
After the timeout, Spoelstra replaced Wade and Haslem.
The first thing the Heat adjusted was their offense. Spoelstra no longer competed with Deng Fang, and he began to let Wade control the ball more.
Although making James comfortable is his first priority, winning is still more important.
If James doesn't play well, the team may lose. If the team loses, he, the coach, will be fired.
In other words, losing is the number one reason why a coach is fired.
If we can win, it doesn't matter even if James is uncomfortable playing!
After working hard for more than one session, Spoelstra has tried his best.
The Warriors' targeted defense is in place, and James' control of the ball will do more harm to the team.
Then give the ball to Wade!
Spoelstra is a coach with a lot of personality and he also has something in his stomach.
Wade began to control the ball more, and the Heat's offense became much better.
Wade felt good today and made frequent mid-range shots.
With the shooting, Prince didn't dare to retreat too far, and Wade began to have the possibility of a breakthrough.
Mid-range shots, breakthroughs, and distribution, Wade single-handedly leads the team's offense.
After Wade and Haslem returned to the court, the Heat's defense also got much better.
Without the two defensive black holes of James Jones and Mac Miller, and with James focusing more on defense, the Heat's lineup is still terrifying on both offense and defense.
Under the Heat's targeted defense, Lowry was also restricted, making the Warriors' offense much more difficult.
After all, Lowry is not Curry, and his emergency three-pointers are still unstable. After the Heat adapted, they began to focus on defending his breakthroughs, and Lowry's threat was much smaller.
The point difference is slowly narrowing.
Soon, the second quarter was over and the score became 69:58, with the Warriors leading by 11 points.
Wade showed off his power in the second quarter, scoring 15 points and 4 assists in a single quarter!
Spoelstra's solemn expression looked a little better.
The 11-point difference is not that much.
The Warriors are good defensively, but their greatest strength is their offense.
The pace of playing with the Warriors is very fast. As long as the offense is good, 11 points only takes a few minutes!
The second half of the game started quickly, with both teams starting the game.
This time Spoelstra learned his lesson, stopped competing with Deng Fang, and handed the ball directly to Wade.
On the Warriors' side, Curry still ran without the ball, forced a defensive switch, and then challenged.
If the Heat are flanking, they will pass the ball; if they are not flanking, they will continue to play singles!
After resting for a whole quarter, Curry is full of energy and has unlimited physical fitness!
The third quarter completely turned into a one-on-one show between Curry and Wade!
There are two people, one for you and one for me. The pace of the game is very fast.
One moment, Curry would throw a three-pointer, and the next, he would break through and assist his teammates in scoring. The fans at Oracle Arena enjoyed watching it.
For Warriors fans, Curry is the owner of Oracle Arena and the soul of the Warriors!
Although he only played two seasons with the Warriors, Warriors fans have already fallen deeply in love with this funny primary school student!
Both teams played well offensively, and the only one who was depressed was James.
Wade has a hot touch and he has the ball, so James can only act as a top shooter.
This is not the job of my emperor!
Of course, my emperor cannot do this job well...
James was very depressed: I have always been the one to take the blame, why am I being asked to take over now!
He caught the ball in the open space and missed two shots. James no longer even had the desire to shoot.
It was Wade's assist that made the shot. Doesn't that mean he was helping others make a wedding dress?
Wade is playing so well. We really want to win the championship. The FMVP belongs to Wade too and has nothing to do with me!
I'm here to be the boss. My role is Jordan, not Pippen!
James was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
The Warriors defended him very well and didn't give him a chance to score at all!
The third quarter ended quickly, and the score became 102:90, with the Warriors leading by 12 points.
Wade showed off his strength again in the third quarter, scoring another 13 points in a single quarter and dishing out 4 assists!
Curry also performed very well in the third quarter, scoring 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.
James only scored 2 points in this quarter, and he got them by relying on the second attack on the front court.
In total, James played for 36 consecutive minutes and only scored 6 points, no assists, and 7 turnovers!
Fortunately, James worked very hard and grabbed 12 rebounds in total, which made his data not so ugly.
Curry's statistics are much better. Counting the 15 points in the first quarter, Curry has scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists!
The best performer for the Heat was Wade, who scored 28 points and sent out 7 assists!
