Chapter 939 Pat Riley’s Helplessness
Barkley smiled: "The only difference is that the Suns are also good at positional warfare, which is why the Hammers believe that the Suns are a traditional team.
In traditional tactics, the offense starts from the inside, with the center as the main player and the outside as the supplement.
But the small ball is completely opposite, weakening the center, starting from the outside, and starting to increase the number of three-pointers. This is the most fundamental point of difference between the two playing styles.
In particular, the birth of the "no touching with hands" rule in 2005 made it easier to break through from the outside, which intensified the development of small balls.
Of course, with the Hammer dominating the paint area, he kept the perimeter out of the paint area with one hand. Even breakthrough masters like Kobe, Iverson, and Marbury could not break into his penalty area. Prevents the development of the ball.
In fact, it is difficult to say that things have two sides. The emergence of the hammer not only promotes the development of small balls, but also inhibits the development of small balls.
Speaking of the Suns, from the perspective of the first offensive option, it is a traditional team that starts from the inside, so the Hammer is right. His Suns can indeed be said to be a traditional team. "
At this time the game started, both sides jumped the ball, Garnett won this time, and the Heat attacked.
The Heat's offensive lineup is spread out, Haslem moves in the paint area under the basket, Garnett moves to the right short corner, Wade moves on the right wing, Ray Allen moves on the left wing, and Williams moves at the top of the key.
"Open the formation. But the Hammers didn't follow Garnett?" Zhang Lili shouted in surprise.
On the court, Garnett was also surprised to find that it was not Li Ba who was guarding him, but Marion.
Li Dam defended next to Haslem, Battier marked Ray Allen, Ginobili marked Wade, and Rondo marked Williams.
At this time, Heat players began to move.
Barkley shouted in surprise: "Oh, there is no zone defense, the Suns play man-to-man defense?"
On the court, except for Li Ba and Haslem who couldn't be pulled out, there were also Garnett and Marion. The other six people were chasing each other. There was no change of defense, and it was obvious man-to-man defense.
At this time, Garnett relied on his tonnage and height to trap Marion, and stretched out his long arms to get the ball.
Williams passed the ball in, Garnett caught the ball and turned around and made a fadeaway jumper. Marion jumped to block the shot but missed.
Li Ba jammed Haslem under the basket, but he found that the ball was about to go in.
Brush, the basketball brushes past the basket.
At this time, Li Ba had already started half a beat in advance and was about to go down.
"This is the Heat's biggest weakness. Just like the Lakers, the inside can't keep up with the Hammers and Marion. Although Garnett is fast, it's relative to the inside. He's still slower than the Hammers and can't guard against the Hammers' quick moves. !”
When he saw Li Ba crossing the center line and only Wade was left in front, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
At this time, Marion passed the ball to Li Ba. Li Ba received the ball and immediately moved it to Ginobili on the left wing.
Wade had no choice but to immediately return to defend Ginobili.
At this time, Li Ba rushed into the paint, and at the same time Ginobili passed the ball from behind. He flew up, caught the ball with both hands, and smashed it instantly.
"boom!"
The huge basket rack sank suddenly amid the violent sound of the basket exploding.
2:2, flat.
Heat offense.
Garnett once again asked for the ball.
"Sean, he doesn't dare to come in, stare at his hat." Li Ba said proudly to Marion under the basket.
"Yes." Marion replied.
"Damn hammer!"
Garnett cursed secretly, but he was right by Li Ba. This position was three meters away from the paint area. Li Ba was right inside the paint area. He really didn't dare to break through.
Even in this position, he didn't dare to make any more moves after getting the ball. He just shot, otherwise he would worry about being double-teamed by Li Ba.
The ball arrived, and Garnett turned around very quickly and hit a fadeaway jumper again.
This time, Marion was more proactive in blocking shots. Although he still didn't block the shot, it affected Garnett's shot. This was a beautiful defense.
Two arms as thick as iron rods stretched out to both sides, Li Ba firmly stuck Haslem to death.
At this time, the ball hit the basket and was caught by him.
He didn't play fast break because the rebound was right under the basket. His position was too deep and he couldn't take advantage of fast break.
The Suns attack and the positional battle begins.
Marion, Battier, and Ginobili are all separated, and Rondo is at the top of the arc.
The Heat did not let Rondo go. Battier is not Tony Allen. The Suns are the most accurate three-pointers. If they let Rondo go when they are all stretched out, Rondo will go directly to the basket.
Li Ba moved towards the basket and was blocked by Haslem. As soon as he turned around, he got past the opponent and rushed towards the basket.
At this time, Rondo passed the ball, and Williams' defense was poor and unable to prevent his pass.
With a bang, Li Ba smashed the Heat's basket again.
4:2, the Suns lead away from home.
Pat Riley was a little helpless. His original tactical idea was that Garnett would pull Li Ba out, and then Wade would cut in from the weak side.
Between Garnett and Haslem, there is no doubt that the former is ten times more threatening than the latter on the offensive end. Of course, Li Ba must guard against the former, but the result was unexpected.
"Does the Hammer think Wade is a greater threat than Garnett?"
Now Wade's breakthroughs are getting better and better. This tactic should be able to be used for a dozen times, but unexpectedly the Suns used Marion to defend Garnett. With Li Ba guarding the paint area, how can Wade break through?
This change completely broke his tactical assumptions.
The Heat attacked, and this time Wade broke through with the ball on the right wing.
Li Ba blocked the right sideline of the paint area. Haslem did not want the open space under the basket, but blocked him behind.
Li Ba locked on Garnett behind him, and he "saw" that Garnett behind him had moved to the edge of the paint area.
Wade's breakthrough is really better. With one step, you can't judge the direction of his breakthrough in the next step.
Ginobili is the same type of breakthrough master as him, but he was also thrown away by his continuous changes of direction. He dribbled the ball towards Li Ba.
Just one step away, when Li Ba was preparing to steal, Wade took a step forward, but suddenly changed direction downwards.
Li Ba was well prepared. Wade either broke upward or downward. He moved his feet and took a step laterally, blocking Wade in front of him in time.
But at this moment, Wade landed one step in front of Li Ba, but he suddenly stopped, pulled the ball back, took a step back, and then jumped up.
This retreat not only widened the distance from Li Ba, but also allowed Ginobili who rushed up from behind to miss.
Wade made a fadeaway jumper, and Li Ba quickly turned around, but at this time Haslem turned around, spread his arms, and stuck him behind him, and Garnett also moved to the basket. Regardless of whether the ball went in or not, Nothing can be saved.
He immediately turned around and was about to get off.
The next moment, the ball goes in.
At the same time, the Suns' fast break has begun.
