177 Planning Strategies For Shiba (4/5)

Chapter 177 Strategizing Small Shiba (45)

The Heat and Spurs game is coming soon, and James' pre-match interview has also been exposed by the media.

Tang Tian felt a little speechless when he saw the content of the report.

James' image in front of the media is really good, and he can tell nonsense with his eyes open.

But maybe for him, things have been forgotten.

Well, he happened to be able to remind this "Little Emperor".

The attendance rate of the arena in the ATT Center Arena that night exceeded 80%, and the venue seemed to be full.

Probably only a game full of gimmicks against the Heat can make San Antonio fans come to the arena together.

The Spurs have a poor away record and urgently need a home victory to boost morale.

The Heat need to use an opponent like the Spurs to justify themselves, which is a must-win game for both sides.

At the opening ceremony before the game, the fans on the scene also cheered.

Tang Tian felt something called enthusiasm for the first time in this arena.

The right time, the right place, and the right people, everything is just right.

Others didn't notice, but Ginobili in a suit and leather shoes noticed the different expression on Tang Tian's face tonight, and he had a premonition that Tang Tian would be different.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

The Spurs have Parker and Green on the outside, Jefferson and Duncan on the front line, but the center is not Blair but Splitter.

Obviously, Popovich knows this Heat team well and knows that the inside is their weakness.

On the Heat side, Mario Chalmers and Wade are on the perimeter, James and Bosh are on the front line, and Joel Anthony is the center.

Bosh and Duncan's jump ball, Duncan dialed the ball back to half court, and won the first attack for the home team.

Parker took the ball to the frontcourt and was about to signal the team to play tactics.

But before the Spurs players started running, Wade on the weak side double-teamed him directly.

The Heat chose to double-team the ball holder in this opening game!

Parker gave Green the ball, and Green had a three-pointer.

But at the moment of his shot, Wade quickly returned to the defense to interfere.

"boom!"

Green's three-point opportunity failed to grasp.

Splitter was stuck by Anthony at this time, and James flew inside and grabbed the defensive rebound.

After the Heat got the rebound, they played a defensive counterattack directly.

Wade quickly advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the pass from James, avoided Green's interference in the air, and pulled the bar to score the ball.

From defending to attacking, the timer only took 3 seconds.

"What a fast counterattack!" The commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim.

Defensive counterattack is the most impressive label of this Heat team.

Parker took the ball to the frontcourt, and the Heat continued to double-team.

At this time, the camera was shown to Spoelstra, the head coach of the Heat on the sidelines. Obviously, this was a tactic he specially prepared for the Spurs.

Parker scored the ball quickly, but Green didn't dare to shoot again after receiving the ball this time.

James and Wade double-team him with the ball at the same time, and Green gives the ball to Jefferson.

Jefferson broke through and rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, but James had retreated back, and Bosh at the basket stretched out his hand to double-team him.

He wanted to hang the ball to Duncan under the basket, but Bosh predicted it, and he caught the ball directly after jumping up!

Heat steal!

Bosh gave the ball to James, and James quickly advanced with the ball, throwing off Jefferson who was chasing him in the fast break.

After seeing Green coming to help defend, he threw the ball directly into the air.

Wade cut in from the wing at this time, jumped up to catch the ball and dunked directly with one hand.

Janeway connects!

Wade squatted down after the dunk landed, stretched out his right hand, stared at the outstretched hand, and made a "hand love" celebration imitating O'Neal.

There was a commotion at the scene.

In the opening two rounds, the Spurs were completely suppressed by the Heat.

In today's training session during the day, Popovich also made tactical analysis in addition to daily training.

After James came to the Heat, this team has two obvious characteristics.

One is that the lineup is deformed. They haven't had a reliable enough center for a long time.

Another point is their style of play, oppressive defense followed by defensive counterattack.

Popovich is an S+ level coach, and his analysis and response before the game are the most appropriate.

Start with Splitter and use his length to create interior offense and second-rebound opportunities;

The success rate of playing positions does not give the Heat too many opportunities to counterattack.

But it seems that the old man was also robbed by Spoelstra on the opposite side this time.

The Heat's starting lineup has not changed, but the defensive strategy has changed.

Don't give you a chance to play position at all, double-team your ball holder infinitely, forcing you to make a passing error like just now.

This tactic is actually very simple, and somewhat risky.

But I have to say that Spoelstra knows Popovich very well, and he made a surprise move in front of the old man.

Standing behind the Big Three of the Heat, the head coach who has always been inconspicuous is underestimated.

In the Spurs' offense, Parker directly gave the ball to Duncan on the inside this time. After being double-teamed, Duncan gave the ball to Jefferson on the outside.

Jefferson had a three-point chance, but his shot speed was obviously not fast enough. He was interfered by James who returned to the defense, and his shot also missed.

Joel Anthony and Bosh's thinking was very clear at this time, and they didn't jump, they just stuck Duncan and Splitter and didn't let them go to the penalty area.

Wade returned to the inside at this time, jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Heat counterattacked again, this time Wade reciprocated, and returned the ball to James after breaking through. James directly knocked Jefferson away and scored a layup.

The Heat turned their backs and beat the Spurs 6-0.

Tang Tian sat on the sidelines thinking.

Spoelstra's tactics are actually quite simple, and really risky.

If the Spurs open wide shots, the blow to the Heat's defensive confidence will be fatal.

But I have to say that Spoelstra has the capital to take this risk: the Heat have Wade and James.

At this time, Wade and James are both at their peak, and the speed of double-teaming and returning to defense is very fast.

The opportunity that seemed to be open a second ago was disturbed when the Spurs players were about to make a shot.

This is the case with Green's first ball at the beginning and Jefferson's ball just now.

The Heat's talent is at that level, which gives Spoelstra more room to play than Popovich.

But in fact, this tactic is also very simple to crack.

As long as the open players are fast enough and accurate enough to make all those shots, the Heat will naturally not dare to double-team the ball holder like this again.

You must know that for the Spurs, with Parker, they don't have to worry about not being able to pass the ball.

The Spurs' Zip tactic, Jefferson's open three-pointer from the bottom corner still failed to score. After James rushed to grab the rebound, the Heat pushed back.

Wade's layup caused Green's pull foul.

After making two free throws, the Heat made an 8-0 dream start.

At this time, Popovich turned around and walked back to the bench, calling Tang Tian and Leonard up.
