Facing the near-invincible Jokic, the debunked Heat needs to stack all the BUFFs
After losing to G2 at home, the three words that Maduto repeatedly emphasized were discipline.
The reason for emphasizing this is because the G2 Nuggets play loose enough, and the intuitive point is to give the Heat one opportunity after another to open three-pointers. The so-called dead sheep made up for it, after being reprimanded by Governor Madu, the Nuggets team accepted lessons and greatly improved defensive concentration. At least similar to the last game of frequently assisting in the prevention and oppression of the ball carrier hanging up and dismantling, and then being easily stabbed in the ass by Strus & Vincent.
Of course, everyone will shout slogans, even high school students playing competitions Physical education teachers will emphasize improving concentration, and the game strategy used by Ma Dudu in terms of specific tactical implementation is quite intuitive, simply put, it is four words:
Ejection Prevention.
It can be regarded as hitting the snake and hitting seven inches, after all, the summary of the basic game that the Heat has repeatedly won with weakness is to rush three points.
For example, the first round of the Bucks: G1, 15 of 25, G3, 15 of 39, G5, 17 of 45;
East vs. Celtic: G1, 16 of 31, G3, 19 of 35, G7, 14 of 28;
Finals Nuggets: G2, 17 of 35.
High numbers and high hit percentages are indispensable, and the number of games won basically depends on this. There are exceptions (East Final G2) but very few, which shows that three-point rain has become the basic formula for the Heat to defeat the enemy. Even so, the strategy was resolutely implemented from beginning to end.
"Under the basket, let you attack well, forgive you for playing any tricks." Maduto thought so, and indeed as he expected. When the size of each position of the Heat is one size smaller, it is difficult to do something. To add insult to injury, Vincent, the second best inside of the team, was frequently arrested by the referee in the first half and soon received three offenses.
No team can match the Nuggets in terms of output alone, and the Heat rose in the second quarter, and whether Martin scored eight straight points or Adebayo was too old to make up for the basket on Jokic, it should theoretically be an opportunity for the Heat to re-establish their advantage. However, at the end of the half, I looked up, and it was the Nuggets who held the lead.
It was obvious that the Heat's hole cards had been debunked, and when the outside battery was muted one after another, all the Heat could leave was Jimmy and Adebayo's singles. Jimmy is struggling to support, and the defensive side has been consumed by various things, and he still takes over the game from time to time to avoid the collapse of the team; On the other hand, Adebayo is a little difficult to say, and all kinds of mid-distance strikes are like numbness. Maybe he shouldn't have been counted on, and he wasn't the kind of ruthless horn who could kill the bloody road with his personal ability, and he never was.
It is Jokic's turn to call for wind and rain, no matter who is in front of him, but if you want to attack from the position, it is a high probability. It was so stable that the Heat desperate, and even more desperate was that a Braun popped up before the end of the third quarter, the guy swam away and ate a mouth full of oil, and dared to steal Jimmy's performance of a fast attack and split.
There may be a gap between the coaching level of Maduel and Spoo, but it is only a little, and it will never be as big as the gap between Mazura and Spoo. G2, you play the comfort of losing the five lucky stars, G3 I will take out the surprise soldier to fight back. Not only dared to take out the surprise soldiers, but also entrusted them with heavy tasks, and threw the top-paid thief with the army Porter to the bottom of the field. The warrior dies for the confidant, and the magical rookie Braun who fights more and more gives up his life to charge, and Jimmy beats Shiyi who is a little confused, calling out where this little ghost came from.
The 14-point lead at the end of the third quarter was more favorable than that of G2. Rao is so, Maddu is still bitten by a snake for ten years, and he left Jokic Murray on the field at the end instead of letting them both take a break to catch their breath. It can be seen that the essence of the playoffs is to ruthlessly star and squeeze hard and squeeze out the juice.
The current version is well known, emphasizing space and three-pointers, and looking at the Nuggets' big win, you'll find that the version is quite inverse. Throughout the game, the Nuggets basically did not shoot from long distance, but continued to arch into the box. As for the effect visible to the naked eye, the gap between the two sides of the inner line is almost terrifying.
Rebounds 58-33;
60-34 inside score;
It can be seen that the Heat's inner line has been completely burst and penetrated, and after Gobert Downston has full eyebrows, Adebayo has become Jokic's new toy, the whole toy story. Given that Hiro may not be able to return to the entire Finals, it is Spoh's turn to have a headache.
Without any doubt, Jokic put on a brilliant and incredible solo performance. Murray, who grabbed his 10th rebound in the last minute of the game, Murray also scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, thus joining Jokic to become the first super duo in Finals history to share a 30+ triple-double. So everyone praised Jokic & Murray, which is the OK combination of today's era.
It's just that before you marvel, consider this question:
Does Murray really have the strength of the K level?
No, not at all, look at the west and you can easily list four or five defenders who are better than him. From Curry to Booker, and then Alexander to Lillard. In fact, Murray has averaged 16.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his career in seven seasons since his debut, and his best season is just over 21 points.
As for this season, he averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in the regular season, which is not bad, but it looks ordinary in the torrent of rolling data.
Some people think Murray made sacrifices, but in fact it was Jokic who actually made sacrifices. If the fat man is willing, he can be more selfish and block the mouths of the judges who call themselves "aesthetic fatigue" with more beautiful and luxurious personal data. He gave up, and it wasn't until the playoffs started that the world really realized Jokic's astonishing dominance of the court.
It proves what a blessing it is to play next to Jokic. The fat man is not only versatile decathlon, but also an outstanding teammate enhancer, in short, he can make the teammates around him better and more comfortable, that is, fat and gravitational.
This is similar to but different from the legendary Ku has gravity, which means that Curry can attract a large number of defenses with his almost perverted projection, and fat gravity means that he can give positive feedback to his teammates in various ways. Ku has gravity and eats fresh, and fat and gravity is fresh.
Originally, he was full of confidence in winning G2, but when he arrived at G3, he was hit head-on. Frankly speaking, the Nuggets have the upper hand throughout the Finals, and the Heat need some non-scientific blessing to fight it, or pray for miracles, or hope that the protagonist's aura will continue to shine. Such as G2 Dunluo Shenluo Tianzheng, and then like a collective three-point explosion, any less Buff has not to play. It sounds cruel, but it is an indisputable fact.
In three days, the G4 will become extremely critical, and it is inevitable that it will be breached again. The Nuggets are bound to chase the Heat without saying, and here is another sentence that the Finals don't want to do:
Everyone actually misunderstood Embiid, the line he stated earlier seemed petty and absurd, but it was not, it belonged to criticism and self-criticism, spurring and self-flagging. Yes, that's it:
"Some people took the MVP and still didn't achieve anything."
