Net: With Durant you can do whatever you want, Miami you are not convinced and bright superstar?

Net to heat.

It was originally the first in the Eastern Conference regular season against the eighth in the Eastern Conference regular season.

But after half-time, we saw the win or loss.

The net beat the heat as if they were the first in the East.

It's a bit cruel to say that, but this one really shows it: in the face of top talent, diligence and team, sometimes can't stand it.

A few days ago Weibo wrote a few words:

The Miami Heat is still number one in the East, but right...

In two weeks, they've lost 3-4, with the Thunder and Pistons in three games, winning the Cavaliers and giving up an Allen.

After the comeback of Oladip and Morris, the form and run-in are not very good for the time being, and they are not much better than Martin and Vincent.

Hot starts attack with average intensity and rely heavily on substitutes to win; hot wins rely more on order, enthusiasm, thickness and desperation.

Encountering a strong team in the fourth quarter, the heat can not overpower the opponent.

To put it bluntly: when Jimmy, Ade, and Hiro are in poor shape, heat is in trouble.

This is probably also the fate of small teams: you have to compete against the opposite side in every game, and shoot accurately than the opposite side.

LeBron and Wade can take over, and the only thing that Can Take over is Jimmy - Hiro is still a bit of a look, and Dunroe has regressed this season.

Heat is undoubtedly one of the most competitive teams of the season — interfering with three-pointers, falling to the ground to save the ball, creating offensive fouls are all top five in the league, and running the league sixth in every game — but in the starting lineup: Lowry is 35, Jimmy is 32, Tucker is 36.

Whether their recent record and mood are to avoid the net in the first round, or whether they really can't fight at the end of the season, I don't know.

This kind of team that relies on team hard work, the good side is tenacious and desperate to press not to die, so now the East is the first.

The bad thing is that once the interior can't continue to burn wildly, it will become unpleasant.

And they don't have a superstar compared to Philadelphia, bucks and nets.

Jimmy is very diligent and excellent, but he is not a superstar who can solve problems indefinitely.

And: Jimmy's personality is actually a bit like KG: hard-working and competitive, fierce and selfless.

Get better and you'll be able to put the Tropics into the 2020 Finals.

But when it doesn't go well, it's like he's in timberwolves and Philadelphia, and the collision of personalities will make the locker room float up — for example, KG took the MVP in 2004 to take the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals, and the next year he can knock his teammates' teeth crooked.

That's what he said three days ago after the Heat lost to the Warriors.

Then the Heat lost to the Knicks, and today they lost again, four straight losses.

The net played 67-46 in the first half today, in fact, it won at halftime. Durant had 19 points and four assists in the first half and played casually in the second half.

Durant shot seven goals in the first half, except for one chase shot, the opening goal was a single Adebayor, and all the other balls were strong shots against Tucker.

Tucker: I'm not out of place! I'll stand in front of him!"

Durant: Sorry I didn't see it!

Of course, in reverse, Tucker can also say: I shot 3 of 4 in the first half! I'm awesome!

But in the first half Adebayo shot 3 of 6, Dunroe shot 0 of 1, Jimmy Butler shot 2 of 8 and Hiro 3 of 9.

The Heat shot 3-of-17 from three-point range.

You must have seen it.

The net's heat-proof strategy today: the three-point shot is better to save than let go - Lowry flew over Irving on the three-point fake action - block the sudden, collectively started.

Tucker wants to shoot the bottom corner to throw a small throw, the net allows him to dash; Dunroe and Hiro are resolutely strangled; to break through, Durant's God Clarkston shrinks under the basket, you have a sharp stop to shoot, Seth, Irving and Brown will copy it.

The net today got the season's most 15 steals, quick attack scored 24 points, the first half but not fast attack, on the position battle let Durant bully strong shot, Irving made up two more sticks.

The strategy of this network is very clear, and it is a clear card:

Heat is good at collective long-range shooting, good at strangling battles, I don't grind with you.

You shoot three points and I lock in, collectively push back, quick attack to solve the problem.

Positional warfare is when the superstar pulls away and punches and knocks over.

Heat could have relied on his tenacity to fight the net, but when James Johnson hit the only goal of the game — a frontcourt dunk early in the second quarter, 35-30 — Heat's defensive communication began to collapse, looking at each other, visibly overwhelmed.

In the next minute, Irving scored eight consecutive points on a three-pointer and a three-pointer. The heat starts to mess up.

Durant returned, Clarkston returned, and the net began to threaten.

When Chuang Shen is on the floor, the net will also let him protect the restricted area; as soon as Clarkston comes up, the pressure of the net rises.

Brown steals, Durant steals, Durant blocks, Durant steals again, the two-minute difference changes from 7 to 17 points, and then the game is over.

In those two minutes, Lowry and Hiro made a mistake in passing, Jimmy and Lowry missed the shot, and Hiro broke through and was copied by Seth. Durant, in turn, whizzed over Tucker's head.

So the game ended.

Although on paper, Durant's 23 points Irving and 11 points are not obvious, but this game is a straightforward display of real star power.

The heat would be embarrassed once the three-pointer was pressed to death, and the net was very blunt: counterattack + superstar, win.

You know the net hits you like this, but you can't help it.

In the playoffs, teams that rely on thickness and unity will be slightly discounted, and teams with single offense and defense + strong defense will benefit.

I think the Celtics, the full version of the Nuggets, the full version of the Clippers (which seems to be difficult at the moment) and even the full version of the Lakers may be able to create some surprises, but also out of a simple logic - the Celtics have the league's top change of defense routines and double masters, the Nuggets have a complete system and Jokic (and a possible comeback Murray), the Clippers if the full health of the infinite change of defense opposite is difficult to move; and don't look at the Lakers are up and down now, if LeBron and Davis are really healthy, a series, who knows what will happen?

In contrast, even if the net is messy at the moment, it is quite scary to fight for superstars in the playoffs, and Durant + Irving will stop there.

Say back to the heat yourself:

The net is tenacious and diligent and reasonable, Adebayo is my defensive player of the year this season, and Hiro is the sixth man of the year.

But it's hotter than the average team to win, and when it comes to the playoffs short rotation to fight for superstars... In addition to hoping for Hiro to explode, he finally had to look at Jimmy.

One of the most obvious things today: Jimmy's three-pointers in the past two years have dropped to the point where the Net has dared to ignore him. That is, there are three people in the Hot starters — Jimmy, Ade, Tucker — with limited ball-free containment.

The net boldly snatched and swept today, as if "anyway, Tucker and Jimmy's three-pointers can be made up after it, and it is better not to let Dunro and Hiero move."

Now the Eastern Conference finals are between the top four and each other, and no one knows whether the heat will end up in the east first or fourth, but even if the first place is in the playoffs, they still have to change a little.

Of course, they have a wide range of points and many possibilities for change. Maybe by the playoffs Dunroe's feel is back, Oladip's feeling seems to be improving, Ard has found a comfortable position again, and Hiro may really be able to carry the team throughout the series... But they always have to change a little bit to make it happen.

At least, Jimmy, who is in his current form, is not the Jimmy who can bring the team to the finals in 2020.

Finally, a little guess.

Jimmy's three-point rate dropped off a cliff when he was 30. In the past two years or so, the state of attack and defense and even the free throws are still at their peak, except for the three-point shot.

And he's the typical double-action shooter — jumping high, curving flat, looking at the legs.

Westbrook and DeRozan, both are similar throwing methods...

The paragon of high bounce curvature Mattie, the three-point rate cliff-like decline is 30 years old after the big injury.

Bryant's three-point percentage began to decline, and he was 31 years old.

Although Jimmy is an Iron Man, he is also 32 and a half years old.
