Chat ball does not flicker, there is a picture and the truth.
In the playoffs, "Coin Chat Basketball" continues to restore the winning and losing elements of important games in the way of "there is a picture and the truth", interpret the focus topic, watch the excitement, and also watch the doorway.
If, I mean if the Eastern Conference Finals do have a big comeback that will break NBA playoff history, the Heat will definitely regret their slack in G4.
The Heat had a chance to take the series at home with a bang, but they took it for granted in the second half of G4 that the Green Army mentality had collapsed and would disarm early, so the Heat offense was simplified, the defense was relaxed, and it turned out that the Green Army had no intention of giving up at all, but woke up on the edge of the cliff, giving the Heat defensive intensity, Tatum unlocked the way, teammates built a bridge with three points, and the Green Army killed the route to the victory to save the game point.
The Green Army is above the Heat in terms of talent, and the first three consecutive losses in the Eastern Conference finals are an executive problem, but this does not mean that the Heat can arbitrarily control the Green Army. The East Finals are different from the West Finals, the Lakers really can't beat the Nuggets, and the Green Army has the resources to play the Heat.
In other words, the Heat can't loosen 3-0, once loose the game may be sent, send one game may send two, and then what?
Butler said after the G4 loss that they could slow down by just going back to a pint of wine and listening to music, but the harsh reality is that the Heat not only did not slow down in G5, but was hammered by the Green Army from the start.
The Green Army "defused the bomb" in the opening game, starting with Adebayo, Horford topping, Smart assisting, and the other three blocking the passing route. Smart cut the ball during the Adebayo advance and the Greens immediately counterattacked.
Vincent can't play, Lowry is on the starter, "steel cannon brother" experience is enough, but now almost only experience, in the face of the Green Army's cover combined with around cover, Lowry's handling of the ball is terrible, this kind of jumping into the pile and passing can make Spoo's blood pressure soar.
The Green Army's defensive configuration can change defenses indefinitely, but Mazura had to work in the first three games, occasionally wrapping the ball, only to be pierced by the Heat's pass and cut.
Until he saw that he was going to be eliminated, Mazura changed his defense in the second half of G4, except for Horford, other players changed defense, this strategy became a reversal weapon in the second half of G4, Mazura did not hesitate to continue to take out in G5, let the Heat tactics change, the Green Army can be changed.
For example, this ball, Butler and Strus hand in hand, Brown and Tatum change defense, Strus has no chance to give the ball to Lowry, Adebayo to cover, because "Reba" does not have a three-point skill package, so Horford can rest assured to crouch in the pit, White squeezes through the cover pursuit, Lowry advances not backwards nor back, his choice is to jump up again to pass the ball, and then be cut off again.
After Lowry's pass was broken, the Greens counterattacked, and Tatum's solo burst to attract the Greens, and the ball was thrown into an open three-point shot by Smart in the bottom corner.
The offense showed that the Heat's solo defense of Tatum was not easy in terms of physical condition, and they used a lot of pinch shots in the Eastern Conference, and whether the Green Army can crack it depends on the quality of Tatum's shot and the projection response of his teammates.
Tatum and Smart's cooperation is the template for the Green Army to play the Heat defense, Tatum changed the layout of the Heat's defense, Smart cut in the middle of the air to detour the bottom corner to meet, this tactic should be rehearsed, the two cooperation is very tacit.
Horford sank, others switched defenses, based on the defense to catch counterattacks, the Green Army added Horford's high-post tactics as a ball transfer station in response to the Heat's bag of Tatum.
The picture below is the connection between the defense and the offense of the Green Army, Butler blocked and named White, and White directly changed the defense to prevent Butler's rush. The Greens counterattacked, the Heat clipped Tatum with the ball in hand, Horford followed up in the middle and moved again, and Smart scored another three points in the bottom corner of the ambush.
The Heat's defensive thinking is similar to that of the Lakers when they played the Western Conference final, collecting the weak side to participate in the clip, not the strong side, afraid that the ball carrier would contain the defense and create a gap for the strong side. The Nuggets' response was to position at the top of the arc to facilitate the shift of the strong and weak sides, and the Green Army also made this move, and Horford's dealings played an important role.
Compared to the Heat, who led the overall score and were just one win away from the Finals, the Green Army, who stepped off the cliff with one foot, played calmer, was very patient in handling the ball in G5, adhered to the idea that one more pass may give you a good chance, and controlled the mistakes well.
The Green Army made 9 mistakes in G5 and the Heat 16, which means that the Heat are not good at playing the Green Army's defensive counterattack, and the Green Army is playing the Heat wave after wave.
After the desperate counterattack of the Green Army in the second half of G4, the blood tank that was about to be played before was filled by half, G5 sank + changed the defense to dismantle the Heat's attack, counterattack + arc top strategy broke the Heat's defense, and saved two match points in a row, the Green Army blood tank was full, and the pressure of the Heat skyrocketed.
Now it's the Heat's turn to adjust, Butler's smile doesn't know whether to be confident or hide the tension, the Heat can no longer lose, once back home and lose G6, morale and confidence will be fully tilted to the Green Army, the tie-break will be played in Boston, can the Heat afford to gamble?
