Yesterday, the Heat beat the Nuggets 111-108 to tie the big score of the Finals to 1-1, for the actual situation and results of the game, we look back, Coach Spoelstra gave Coach Malone three "questions", the next game, depending on how the latter answers, as follows:
Spall gave Marlon three questions
1. Recruit Lokful.
"It's my fault that there was no starting Loafer before G1", Coach Spoh's post-match apology is the best praise for the role of Loafer in the G2 fight, reflected in the specific game, his role is as follows:
1. With his height and alignment, Love effectively contained Gordon, who was blowing out in the first battle, and cut off the connection between Yoshima and him.
2. Since Love can sink under the basket to guard the paint area, Adebayo can switch to the three-point line at any time, effectively interfering with the Nuggets' shooter group.
Love rebounded, quarterback long pass, Adebayo made a foul on the teacher
3. Love's three-point containment and quarterback long pass to protect rebounds can undermine the Nuggets' defense to some extent.
4. With Love against Gordon, Butler can focus on Murray, and the last-minute interference with his tie-breaker is the epitome, which failed to run away as he did in the first two series of runs.
Butler and Adebayo clip Murray, and Love makes up for the tackle
The Heat's 20 playoff games this season, Love started 15 of the 17 games, which is based on the above role, and from the Bucks, Knicks to the Green Army's first four games, the opponent basically failed to solve the damage caused by Love, the Heat defeated one of the subtle elements of the opponent in a row, until Mazura used Horford's five-way lineup to target Love's defenseless shortcomings, only to completely force him out of Coach Spoo's rotation system, and the Nuggets?
Yesterday's actual battle can be seen that even if Gordon hits two three-pointers, Coach Spoh still dares to empty him, which tests the confidence of Coach Malone and Gordon, does he dare to let Gordon shoot crazy three-pointers? Otherwise, Love can safely put away under the basket, wantonly protect the rebound, change defense, assist defense, supplement defense and even pinch hits. The most important point is that behind Gordon, the Nuggets do not have a better defensive No. 4 against Butler, so it is worth waiting to see how Malone will take Coach Spoo's Love starter.
Second, curb three points.
With a shooting percentage of 48.6% on 17-of-35 shooting, the Heat G2's three-point shooting is a bit of a fool at first glance, but if you look closer, it's no accident that the Heat actually have such an efficient three-point shooting percentage.
In five games against the Bucks, the Heat shot 45 percent from the field and averaged 15.4 three-pointers per game.
In seven games against the Green Army, the Heat shot 43.4 percent from the field and averaged 12.7 three-pointers per game.
In only six games against the Knicks, the Heat were pushed to 30.6% three-point shooting, averaging 11.7 points per game.
The differences between the three teams are that the Bucks have Da Lo, the Greens have Lowe and Horford, while the Knicks' Mitchell Robinson is younger, and most of the time, Thibodeau will let Halten play more time, be able to expand to the three-point line, and return to the Nuggets.
The Strus G1 had a couple of open opportunities, but missed the shot
"I don't think we did well in G1, the opponent got 16 open three-point chances, which is problematic," said coach Malone after winning the G1 game; Gordon said of the Heat's open three-point presence, "It's inevitable, but we need to reduce the number of open three-point positions on the opponent," and the point is here.
1. Mr. Jo has lost weight and his feet are flexible enough, but after all, he is seven feet tall, and his footsteps are difficult to match the three-point shooting speed of defenders such as Vincent after Adebayo blocks.
The Heat's three-point is probably a chance ball created by 3 conductions
2. More trouble, most teams, including the Nuggets, their three-point is probably the goal of Mr. Joe and Murray holding the ball, and the shooters catch the ball to finish; And the Heat's three points, in addition to Butler's ball-holding instigation, the remaining three points are probably through the patient transmission of more than two hands, tearing open opportunities after the opponent's defense, which will cause coach Malone a headache, which is also a big test.
Third, there is no solution to joint defense.
The playoffs are the stage for defense to win, and defense is precisely the soul of the Heat, especially the joint defense created by coach Spoo, which can be called a nightmare for all opponents, roughly a few changes.
1. Coach Spoh's joint defense is sometimes two-three, sometimes three-two, and never solidifies, and even the two consecutive defensive rounds will be fine-tuned for the opponent's offense.
2. Before returning to the half-court defensive position, Coach Spall will let the outside players take the lead in delaying and interfering with the opponent's advance speed, so that the opponent will be left with about 18 seconds to disassemble the joint defense.
3. On the basis of joint defense, Coach Spall will also order the players to carry out local pinching attacks on key people, further consuming the opponent's time to disassemble the defense.
Local pinching after the Heat triple-two defense
The Green Army, which is regarded as having better talent, more stars and more outstanding overall strength, was trapped in the East final by Spoo's joint defense.
Mr. Jo's MVP strength, Murray's single-point explosive effect, so that the Nuggets to crack the Heat's joint defense has a certain solution, but G2 is exactly the epitome, when the Nuggets completely rely on Mr. Jo and Murray to solve the problem, the two will not only be somewhat physically unbearable, greater potential impact, Porter Jr., Pope and Gordon role will be weakened, the other two are okay, Porter Jr., well, fans know his personality, once he can't participate in the entry, he will be lax on the defensive end.
Therefore, how Coach Malone disassembles Coach Spoh's joint defense can be called a "high problem" and is difficult to solve.
Again, purely from the star ability, talent and strength of the Nuggets have the advantage, but the tolerance rate is limited, especially when Coach Spall throws out the above three questions, coach Malone needs to come up with a solution in the G3 battle, and every link must be handled properly, otherwise with the hardness and toughness of the Heat, it will be difficult for them to retreat in Miami.
