Paper Guilo City|Love becomes the key hole card of the Heat Can't prevent Jokic, but Spall can make a successful game

After the G1 game, we mentioned that the Heat still had one card not played, and that card was Love.

Love is a double-edged sword, maybe just two minutes on the court was taught by Murray in various postures, but the Heat did not have a choice, under the Nuggets' near-dimensionality reduction level, if you want to find a glimmer of life in a desperate situation, then it is necessary for the Heat to try all the players who have a positive effect.

The Heat G1 did not let Love play when trailing by 21 points in the fourth quarter, on the one hand, considering Murray's good offensive form (11-of-22 shooting, 26 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists), to avoid his edge, on the other hand, to keep a hole card for use in G2, so they would rather use joint defense when Jokic was on the floor than let the opponent know in advance how effective Love's presence was.

In fact, this concept is right, when the West Final G1, the Lakers were forced to put out the hole card of the 4/5 dislocation defense of Jokic's main defense in the fourth quarter, although the effect was wonderful, but still lost the game, and also gave the opponent enough time to crack this trick, resulting in the G2 Lakers can only take out another hole card in advance - James main defense Jokic, the story behind everyone also knows, one step chaos, then step by step chaos.

Obviously, the Heat are not chaotic and have always been in their own rhythm, which is not only reflected in the timing of Loafer's activation, but also in the way Loafer is used.

In the use of Loafer, Spoh stands in a different dimension than most of us. It stands to reason that there is a Lakers' defensive case in front, Spall only needs to copy it, let Love top the first line, the main defense Jokic, Adebayo guards under the basket, and the protective frame is on the line, although Love + Reba is a bit far from the defensive configuration of Hachimura / James + thick eyebrows, but you can try to see how the effect is before adjusting!

But Spoh has his own set of plans: Love against Gordon, closed under the basket to assist defense, protective frame; Butler vs. Murray; Adebayo vs. Jokic.

After all, Love is here tall, and it is unrealistic for Gordon to want to eat Love alone like Vincent/Strus in the last game. More importantly, after Love put on the start, he liberated Butler, Butler can go to the opposite Murray, he and Adebayo can switch defenses, to disassemble Jokic + Murray's blocking (G1 Murray shot 22 times, scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists; G2 Murray made 15 shots, with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists).

For a long time, Upper Love was not to Jokic, but to pinch Murray.

In Love's 22 minutes on the floor, the Heat won by 18 points, the second-highest on the team, behind Vincent. This is not only reflected in the offense (2 of 6 three-pointers), but also in the defense under the basket, protective frames, offensive fouls, rebound protection, and long pass fast attack (10 rebounds, the highest in the team).

Love is under the basket, the Heat penalty area has an extra layer of protection, the Nuggets are best at the middle of the empty cut, the bottom line attack frame is also difficult to play, which is equivalent to dismantling the Nuggets' three-dimensional attack into a two-dimensional flat attack.

But as we mentioned earlier, Love is a double-edged sword, but why didn't the Nuggets catch that? The reason is simple - the Nuggets don't catch, the Heat don't give.

Love is Gordon opposite, but Gordon is mostly involved in tactics with Jokic, high and low, empty cuts and other interior cooperation, and if you want to hit Love, you need Gordon to frequently go online as a cover person and Murray/Pope to participate in tactics, play small and big after misalignment, or directly grab three points after a single block, but these did not, but became the Heat's tricks against Jokic.

In addition, the Heat's ability to squeeze and cover the outside is very strong, and the only outside that the Nuggets can punish the misplaced outside is Murray, and if they can't catch the delay time difference in the first time, Vincent/Strus can recover it.

But be aware that when Love vs Gordon and Butler against Murray, it means Vincent and Strus have one to go to match Porter Jr., which is a clear misplaced advantage that the Nuggets need to catch. But the premise is that Porter Jr. needs to feel warm, G1 outside the three-point line 11 of 0, G2 outside the three-point line 6 1, if the "big rush" is inaccurate, the ball breakthrough and can not pass Lofu, then Porter Jr. is really a side effect player.

Fire not only took the right move of Love, but also gave Jokic a "trapped dragon game".

The G1 Heat tried almost all defensive strategies on Jokic, pinching, circling, sinking, single defense, combined defense, and finally came to a conclusion - defense, designated is unpreventable, under Maicheng, no one is its enemy.

So what to do? Just let him suck! A big white fat man can still pick up 48 minutes?

Of course, the Heat let Jokic single pick also have some tricks, Jokic above the free throw line to let Adebayo single defense, once traveled to the three-second zone, surrounded the pocket, but Jokic is high after all, still useless, 28 shots 16, 41 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, but at the same time, there are 5 turnovers.

In turn, the Heat attacked, and Jokic became the breaking point for their offensive launch. Vincent/Lowry holds the ball at the top of the arc and Reba blocks, flanked by shooter cross cover on one side, Butler waiting for the opportunity to make a second break, and when Jokic tries to step forward to delay, Reba's downspeed, after receiving the ball, quickly complete the secondary processing ball.

The Nuggets had too many communication errors when changing defenses, and they couldn't find defenders after two breakaways. The opening game was heavily over-assisted, resulting in leaks and giving opponents the opportunity to open the shooter. Wait until the opponent hits one after another, and overly nervous, giving the opponent a chance to walk to the free throw line.

Although the Heat's execution and tactics were full throughout, the Nuggets' concentration and defensive communication were too poor that Malone said after the game that this was the NBA Finals, and we were discussing the level of effort, which made me confused and disappointed.

Of course, Mr. Jo is a strong and invincible existence, G1 and G2 show different forms of strength, but at the same time, the Nuggets did not play the ideal offensive state, and did not score more than 110 in both games. In fact, the best time period for offense is the rotation of this second quarter, Murray + Braun + Brown + Jeff Green + Gordon, the whole team can change defenses indefinitely, expand the defense, Braun's vitality and scramble, once reversed the point difference to double digits.

But when Jokic returned, although he still had no solution and used various moves to beat the heat, the heat could always use him as a breakthrough, consume him, and bombard him.

Of course, the Heat's offense is based on the three-point feel of the shooter group, G1 three-pointers shot 13 of 39, 33.3% shooting, while G2 three-pointers shot 17 of 35, 48.6% shooting, to win the series, the Heat need to maintain such an "exaggerated" outside feel, and the Nuggets only need to be more focused and harder on the big basic plate of the teacher.

Compared with the two, obviously the latter is easier to maintain, but look at the Bucks, and then look at the Green Army, aren't they shot by such an "exaggerated" three-pointer?

Nuggets, really careful!
