Chapter 596 No one can stop me
Nash's consecutive goals at the beginning helped the Heat bite the score and not fall behind too far.
But they still fell into a disadvantage after all. At the end of the first quarter, they trailed the Clippers by 17 points at 24:7.
In a game like the Finals, it doesn't matter how you play, scoring is the most important thing.
Although Nash is known as a master of organization, the ultimate goal of organization is to score. If you organize for a long time and your teammates can't make a shot, you might as well do it yourself.
The Heat have never been the kind of team that grinds the ground and plays a beautiful offense. It was not when they won the championship in 06.
Defense is their foundation, and on the offensive end, they have always tended to maximize the individual abilities of their players.
Riley was like this when he was in the Lakers. He didn't care what set tactics he had to play. He could let the star players play their energy and just put the ball into the basket.
Spoelstra has inherited Riley's basketball thinking to a certain extent, and tactics are just a means, not an end.
The purpose is to score goals and score. Players here do not rely on system bonuses to play easy basketball, but to squeeze their physical fitness and talents to the limit to support the team's combat effectiveness.
This is an out-and-out utilitarian basketball style, but Riley has won honors all over his body by relying on this set.
Nash is 38 years old and he is willing to drain everything he has left in exchange for a championship ring.
In the first quarter, Nash made 5 of 4 shots, scored 9 points, and sent only 1 assist.
The Heat bite, and in the second quarter they tried to counterattack, and Spoelstra replaced Odom to increase the overall height of the team.
Odom, Bosh, and Howard constitute the top three of the Heat.
Want to use offensive rebounds, the most unpretentious, yet simplest and most effective method, to break down the Clippers' defense.
Offensive rebounding is indeed the biggest X factor for the offense.
The defender formed an army and took a long time to prevent the opponent from a shot.
As a result, the offensive team hit an offensive rebound and easily dunked under the basket.
This has a huge impact on the morale of the defender.
One of the Rockets' tactics back then was that they just threw the ball toward the basket when they felt they couldn't make a play.
It's good luck if you throw it in. If you don't throw it in, Moses Malone will grab the offensive rebound and score it under the basket.
Relying on this set, the Rockets eliminated the defending champion Lakers and made it all the way to the finals. They were defeated by the Celtics.
This unpretentious routine is often the most effective, because he touches the essence of basketball: the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score, and the natural advantage of height.
As a result, the Heat grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds at the beginning of the second quarter. Howard dunked once, was sent to the free throw line once, and made two free throws.
Odom and Bosh also rushed in desperately, putting a lot of pressure on the Clippers inside.
The Heat once chased the score to 27:30, only 3 points behind the Clippers.
Under this situation, Tyronn Lue boldly replaced Anthony Davis, who performed averagely in the first game, and replaced Randolph.
After being tempered in the first game, Davis contributed a winning shot in the final stage of the fourth quarter. His mentality has been completely adjusted.
As soon as Davis came on the court, the Clippers' inside defense effect was immediate.
He is paired with Milicic, two tall giants, plus Leonard and Butler, the height of the Clippers is not inferior to the Heat.
The only shortcoming is Curry...
But Curry's role is offense, not defense.
The result of the Heat's heavy accumulation of troops inside is that the perimeter defense will definitely be empty.
Odom's defensive footwork is more erratic than he was with the Lakers.
After Curry's continuous dislocation, a fake move broke through the basket and made a throw.
One step back to the right, after throwing off Odom, he made a three-pointer and hit it again!
The Heat tried to continue to attack the Clippers inside, and the Clippers players were tough.
Davis nailed Bosh, Leonard and Milicic pinched Howard and broke the ball from his hands.
The Clippers played a wave of extremely high-intensity defense in a short period of time. In conjunction with Curry's consecutive hits, an 8:0 offensive shock wave stopped the Heat again!
Spoelstra replaced Nash again, and Nash rarely received the ball with his back at a 45-degree waist position to organize the offense.
Min Congda took a look and wondered what kind of strange move this was. Did Si Bo really have no move?
In fact, this trick is not too strange, Nash played like this a lot when he was in the Mavericks.
Like Nash, the older generation of point guards who entered the league in the 90s, sticking their butts out and hitting them is an ancestral skill, and they can more or less master it.
It's just that after entering the new era, it won't be used very much.
When it comes to the finals, as long as the tricks are usable, it doesn't matter what the era is, as long as they can score points.
Nash carried Curry with his back at 45 degrees, and Curry really didn't know how to defend.
As a result, Nash turned around and made a lay-back shot and scored two points!
The last game relied on Ray Allen, and this time the Heat relied on Nash. The two 38-year-old veterans also fought for the championship.
Then, the Clippers misfired, the Heat counterattacked, and Nash once again took the ball with his back at 45 degrees.
After a few hits with his back, he turned inside, made a fake shot and passed the ball. He deceived Davis and passed the ball to Bosh. Bosh dunked with both hands!
Nash's one shot and one pass allowed the Heat to chase the point difference to single digits.
When Min Congda saw this tactic, he also admired it a little bit, thinking: "Interesting, did the Heat really discover the weakness of unlimited defense?"
The Clippers switched defenses very sharply tonight. Except for Curry, everyone on the court was a strong individual defender.
Davis and Milicic have no problem defending big and small, and they protect the backcourt rebounds well, which makes the Heat have nothing to do.
And the best way to deal with unlimited defenses is actually to drop one thing with one thing. The traditional style of play used to be one hit and four looks, and 45 degrees of strong attack.
This is called no matter how much you change it, if my ball is in a stronger hand, it will be useless no matter how you change it.
As a result, the Heat asked Nash to hit Curry at a 45-degree angle. Curry was the weakest point in defense. This move actually revitalized the Heat's offense.
The Heat gradually regained their composure, Wade also hit a key mid-range jumper, and the point difference was approaching again.
However, Curry couldn't guard Nash well, and Nash couldn't do anything to Curry. He fouled twice in a row on defense, and Curry went to the free throw line.
With many soldiers and generals, Tyronn Lue, known as the "Taoist of Many Treasures", immediately adjusted and replaced Harden to increase his firepower.
Since you and I are playing singles and we can't switch on the defensive end, as the leader, I might as well put my firepower on top to maintain the point advantage over you.
Curry made two free throws, and the Clippers led the Heat by 43 points at 36:7.
Nash's physical energy had been greatly depleted in the first half, and Spoelstra replaced Nash with Ray Allen.
The Heat used a point guard-less lineup, letting Ray Allen and Wade partner in the backcourt, and Odom was given the ball-handling responsibility.
Odom made a pass through the three-second zone to Wade. Wade made a layup and was blocked by Anthony Davis from behind!
Although defense depends on the overall situation, personal ability is also very important!
Especially the inside line, an inside line with strong blocking ability is really quite a deterrent to the opponent.
This ball was originally a good pass, an unexpected cut during the counterattack, and a very good pass.
But under Davis' long arm, the offense failed, and the Clippers counterattacked.
Curry gave the ball to Harden, Harden passed the half court slowly, turned around and made a fast break like a tiger, catching the ball and making a one-handed dunk!
Subsequently, Anthony Davis misplaced himself to defend Howard alone.
Howard spent a long time in the low post, but the hook after turning around failed to score.
Davis firmly controlled the backcourt rebound and gave the ball to Curry.
The Clippers regained a large lead and are ready to finish the second quarter.
Although Howard is stronger and more experienced than Davis, his post-up singles are really lame.
At his peak, he was pretty good in the regular season. In the playoffs, the Celtics, who played the Cavaliers without Garnett, were still able to kill.
In the finals, facing the Lakers' top three, they were sluggish. Facing the Clippers' talented and powerful inside combination, there are not many ways to do the same.
Besides, Howard is no longer in his prime. In order to prevent the recurrence of back injuries, he wore a special vest and lowered his weight last summer.
From more than 280 pounds in the peak period to more than 260 pounds, I lost almost 20 catties of meat.
20 kilograms is a decisive weight in internal confrontation. If you lose 20 kilograms of meat, your low-post confrontation ability will drop by two levels.
So Howard is in the low post, and he doesn't even have the power of the peak period, let alone compared with the top insiders.
In the team, in fact, Bosh's low attack is more reliable than Howard.
It's just that the good performance in the first game gave Howard confidence, and before the game, Spoelstra asked to attack the inside with all his strength, allowing Howard to get more opportunities to attack with the ball.
Obviously, the effect is not good.
After being guarded by Davis, Howard immediately rewarded Harden with a big block on the defensive end.
Harden broke through to the basket, but he didn't get up to speed. He was slapped out of the sideline by Howard's volleyball cap, venting his anger.
But then, Harden served the sideline ball and passed a long alley-oop pass to the inside without looking at anyone. Davis jumped high and dunked with two hands in the alley-oop!
The ball was passed and cut suddenly, and the Heat players' attention was on Curry on the outside.
Who knew that Davis would engage in a surprise attack.
And it's really not easy to catch such a high and fast ball.
The talent of the Clippers is really hopeless.
Spoelstra and Riley sighed as they watched.
Last year's defending champion also got the No. [-] pick and selected Anthony Davis.
Doesn't this allow people to live?When Davis grows up in the future, he will be the perfect replacement for Randolph.
But what qualifications does Riley have to talk about the Clippers?
The Lakers he coached back then were the same, the defending champion won the No. [-] pick.
During the peak period, the team had four No. [-] picks, a No. [-] pick and a No. [-] pick. Where could other teams reason?
At the end of the first half, the Clippers led the Heat by 48 points at 40:8.
The scores of both teams are very low, but the Clippers are clearly at an advantage compared to the previous game.
Had Nash not exploded, the Heat would have fallen even further behind.
The Heat relied on Ray Allen in the last game and Nash in the second game. It seems that the Heat have to sacrifice a veteran in each game to maintain competition with the Clippers.
Although the Heat are behind, it must be admitted that the Heat have played quite successfully compared to the Western Conference teams.
The Clippers didn't make much effort in the Western Conference semifinals and finals. Basically, they played as they did in the regular season and played in the playoffs. They tied A all the way and won.
Beat the Lakers, manipulate Paul into the palm of your hand, target him crazily, and magnify the killer Kobe to kill, but you can't kill the Clippers.
When it comes to beating a Grizzly Bear, you can hit it however you want. The Grizzly Bear is like a clay doll that the Clippers can knead at will.
In the finals, the Heat really pushed the Clippers into a hurry. The coaching staff thought of a way, and the players gritted their teeth and fought defensively in the game, competing with the Heat in the safest way.
Director Lue and Mike Malone are generally conservative, and their thinking about the finals is still based on the traditional concept of "intensity and defense" to win.
At this time, Steve Kerr, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching the finals between the Clippers and the Heat, shook his head at the Clippers' tactics after watching the first half of Game [-].
In his view, the Clippers put such good offensive resources to use, instead of using space and speed to dismember the Heat, instead of stopping and slowing down, and fighting against the Heat for defense, it is a bit of exploiting their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths.
Although the Clippers' defensive resources are also excellent, in Kerr's view, offense is the foundation of the Clippers.
If he were still the Clippers assistant coach now, he would definitely support the Clippers to play a smaller lineup, using one large, four small, or five small.
However, this style of play has a greater risk, and it may be a big victory in some games, turning the world around.
But once the opponent seizes the lifeblood and drags them into the quagmire, and their own offense feels lost, it is very likely that the situation will take a turn for the worse and lose the advantage of the series.
This requires the head coach to have superior field control ability, to deal with various emergencies, to maintain the confidence of the whole team, to make breakthroughs in adversity, and to maintain the advantage to the end.
To be honest, from this point of view, there is still a gap between Cole and his teacher Phil Jackson.
Tyronn Lue and Michael Malone also do not have this kind of control ability, and the current strategy is the most suitable.
If Min Congda took the Clippers to play like this, it is also possible.
It's a pity that Min Congda is a traitor.
During the intermission, the mole really wanted to pass a note to the Heat.
He could see that Spoelstra had thought of a way to deal with the Clippers' quick defense changes.
It's a pity that due to the age of Nash and Ray Allen, there is no way to maintain it.
If these two could be 3 years younger, the Heat's situation would be much better.
The Heat still have one point that can break the game, and that is Chris Bosh.
If Spoelstra can make good use of Bosh and further stimulate Bosh's offensive potential, the Heat will still have a chance to play.
It's a pity that Min Congda really has no way to pass the note to the Heat. It's too conspicuous to do so at the Staples Center. Besides, who do you ask to pass it?
The intermission ended quickly, and in the second half, in the third quarter, the confrontation between the two sides became intense.
In the first 3 minutes of the third quarter, both sides failed to score, and the defensive intensity was raised to the extreme.
The confrontation on the field was also extremely fierce, and it became difficult for players on both sides to dribble. It was hard to imagine that this was the second game of the finals, and it was the same as the tiebreaker.
As a result, the game became more and more intense. Randolph and Howard entangled in the three-second zone, and soon there was a physical conflict, arms twisted together, and they pushed each other.
The referee gave a technical foul to one person to calm down the conflict.
Later, Wade used the Foshan Shadowless Kick in the attack and kneed George in the lower abdomen. It took George a long time to recover.
Is the Clippers a team that can be bullied and slaughtered?
Director Lu immediately replaced the top thug in the team, Milicic.
The time for Milicic to play his role finally arrived. As soon as he stood in the paint, the Heat's breakthrough was immediately not as fierce as before.
And Milicic also coincidentally gave Bosh an elbow in defense, almost breaking Bosh's long neck.
Nearly halfway through the third quarter, the score between the two sides was only 53:46, with the Clippers leading the Heat by 7 points.
The scores of the two sides in the third quarter did not exceed double digits, and all their energy was spent on hand-to-hand combat.
This is undoubtedly beneficial to the Heat, and it was also the Heat who first provoked this physical confrontation.
Seeing that both sides are getting bigger and bigger, Min Congda is eager to try off the court, and he can't hold down the gun a little bit.
At this time, Ada gently pressed Min Congda's hand and said, "Mr. Smart, you need to calm down, or you will have to see a doctor again."
When Ada said this, Min Congda took a deep breath and suppressed his active heart.
At this moment, a conflict suddenly broke out on the court, and Haslem and Randolph struggled.
They grabbed each other's collars from the three-second zone and hugged each other all the way to the bench on the sidelines.
At this moment, no one can suppress Min Congda's Saiyan blood!
He jumped up, jumped over the bench bench, rushed toward Randolph and Haslem.
"No one can stop me from being fined!"
