Without any surprise, the Heat immediately agreed to Deng Fang's proposal.
On the Warriors side, Yao Ming and the four players only played 5 minutes per game, and the Splash Brothers only played two quarters. The premise was that no one could be injured due to Heat players. In addition, the Heat could not double-team Curry. Correspondingly, Deng Fang provided a complete
health insurance services.
The Heat have no reason to refuse!
There are many players in the Warriors, but Yao Ming and the four are the absolute main force of the Warriors. They only play for 5 minutes each time, which is basically equivalent to taking a rest!
The Splash Brothers only play two quarters in each game, which is also a very harsh restriction!
The first quarter is important, but isn’t the third quarter important? What about the last quarter?
If you don't do well at the beginning, will you still be able to fight in a meaningful way later?
If we don't play in the third quarter, how can Yong Sanman be able to play?
What if the score is stalemate in the final quarter and the Splash Brothers can't play?
As long as Deng Fang agrees to this proposal, the rest is easy to talk about!
As for the proposal not to double-team Curry, the Heat don't care.
Anyway, in the past two years, Curry was swept away when double-teamed, so the Heat had an idea to change their style of play!
Of course, the Heat just wanted to give it a try and catch the Warriors off guard.
If it works, keep using it. If it doesn’t work, just replace it!
At least it seems that this is a path for now, and it is a path that is likely to be easy to follow!
It’s not that this road has an end in sight, it’s that other roads have been proven to be impassable!
The Heat originally wanted to do this, but now that Deng Fang has offered such a great benefit, the Heat will certainly not refuse.
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s pie in the sky!
Based on Curry's statistics this season, what if he is allowed to throw it around?!
Come on, Curry, we are not afraid!
…
The two teams made a commitment in front of many media, and the matter was settled.
For a time, the finals became a hot topic in major media and forums!
The two dominant Warriors from the East and West meet in the third year of the Finals with the Heat. Who will win the championship?
Can James defeat the Warriors and win his first championship? This year is his best chance!
The Warriors actually agreed to give up most of their main players. This was the finals! Deng Fang was dazzled by the victory!
The Heat promise not to double-team Curry, is Spoelstra crazy?
Without intrigues or injuries, the most exciting and pure finals in history is coming!
There is no longer the problem of double-teaming, Deng Fang threatened that Ku Ritian averaged 50+ per game!
The college entrance examination takes place every year, the last battle between Reyong and Yong is so exciting that you can’t miss it!
…
At 8 p.m. on June 6, 2013, the first game of the Finals officially started at Oracle Arena.
The Heat's starting lineup is Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh and Haslem.
These five people are regular starters for the Heat in this year's playoffs.
Because many people on the Warriors side have time constraints, and there is no telling when the Splash Brothers will play, so to be on the safe side, Spoelstra did not make adjustments to the starting lineup.
The Warriors made some changes to their starting lineup, with Curry, Clay, Barnes, Ariza and Yao Ming playing.
Ariza replaces Hayward!
There is a reason why Deng Fang did this.
Hayward is both offensive and defensive, has strong support capabilities, and has good independent offensive capabilities. It would be a waste to let him play with the Splash Brothers.
If the opponent double-teams Curry, Hayward is indeed very useful, but the Heat have promised not to double-team Curry, so it makes little sense for Hayward to stay on the court.
If the opponent doesn't double-team Curry, Deng Fang only needs a useful 3D player!
Just considering three-point shooting and defense, Ariza is no worse than Hayward, and even has more experience.
With Ariza starting, Hayward can stay and play as a substitute.
The Splash Brothers have limited playing time, and Lowry only has 5 minutes of playing time. The Warriors only have two point guards. Without them, it is necessary for Hayward to stay on the court.
Draymond Green can also play point guard, but firstly Deng Fang doesn't want to give Green too much playing time. Secondly, Green's three-point shooting has not yet been fully developed and is not reliable. It is a hidden danger at critical moments.
Yao Ming and Bosh jumped the ball, and the Warriors took the lead in gaining the ball.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and signaled Yao Ming to come up for a pick-and-roll.
It's not impossible to defeat Chalmers alone, but it's still more reliable to force the Heat to switch defenses and then hit the big one with a small one!
Yao Ming stepped forward to block Chalmers, Haslem switched in front of Curry, Yao Ming walked down to the basket, Bosh came over to switch, and Chalmers tacitly ran in front of Barnes.
That’s right, the Heat didn’t double-team Curry!
Since they agreed not to double attack, the Heat were certainly prepared. Haslem stood outside the three-point line with his feet open, staring at Curry closely.
You can break through, but you can't shoot three-pointers!
This is something Spoelstra has told me many times!
I'm standing outside the three-point line and I'm taller than you. What can you do?
At the same time, Bosh and James were also ready to help defend.
The Heat promised not to double-team Curry, but they didn't say they couldn't help defend!
No matter who the opponent is, or when the basketball game is played, the basket is always the first thing to protect!
It's not okay for Curry to shoot a three-pointer, nor is it okay to rush in to the basket and score!
It's okay to rush in and score the ball, but the Heat's lineup is very well coordinated and the rotation speed is enough, so they are not afraid.
But Curry didn't care what the Heat arranged. He took two steps back and accelerated his dribbling.
Haslem quickly took a step forward.
The coach said that after half the game, Curry is in shooting range, so he has to follow him wherever he goes!
Curry doesn’t care about that!
You are a center, no matter how fast you are, you can't compete with the defenders!
If I stand still and shoot a three-pointer, of course you will block it, but am I that stupid?
Curry dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right hands, getting faster and faster. Haslem quickly moved his center of gravity following Curry's movement.
Curry suddenly paused and glanced at the basket.
not good!
Haslem suddenly flew up!
The coach said that Curry must not be allowed to throw three-pointers!
Unexpectedly, Curry's move was a fake move to worship Buddha. Seeing Haslem jump up, he quickly dropped the ball and took two steps to the side!
Haslem was flying in the air, knowing that he had been tricked, but there was nothing he could do about it.
According to the great Newton's law, people cannot change the direction of flight in the air!
Curry avoided Haslem, raised his hand and shot!
Why wait for such a good opportunity if you don’t take action!
The coach said, I can take any shot in this series!
No problem shooting three-pointers every 30 times!
The basketball flew through the air, hit the basket with a bang and bounced out.
On the first kick of the game, Curry's hands were a little tight.
James picked up the rebound and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. The Warriors retreated quickly, but James was very decisive. He dribbled the ball a few times, glanced at Barnes in front of him, raised his hand and threw it!
