One is the league's No. 1 team with a 64-18 record in the regular season, and the Celtics, who won the first game of the series. One is the eighth place in the East with only 46 wins and 36 losses in the regular season, which only rushed in by the play-offs, and damaged the main Heat, and at the same time could not find the north in the first game. If you were to predict this series before G2, many people would think that there was no suspense, and G2 would be easy. However, everyone has also seen the final result, the Celtics are deflated on their home turf and have no temper. You must know that during the regular season, the Celtics lost only a handful of games at home. Here we have to admire the adjustment of the Heat, and the tenacity shown by this team.
As we all know, the playoffs are not only about the strength of the players, but also about the ability of the coach. We've all heard examples of building teams with players, such as James, Curry, and Durant, but with the coach as the core, the Heat can be said to have made history. Everyone knows that Si Shuai is the top coach in the league. The talent of the Heat lineup has been mediocre for so many years, but it can turn decay into magic, and Si Shuai has a lot of credit. As far as G2's adjustment is concerned, Shuai has reduced Hiro's ball handling and used him more as a bait. On the other hand, for the connection between the green Kai dual core and the role players, the Heat also made a good cut, and everything was just right.
You can take a look at the performance of the players in this game of the Heat. Si Shuai plays a 9-person rotation, which can be said to be a daring artist. With the exception of Lefou, who didn't score for six minutes, the rest of the players scored. The players on the bench scored 20 points, and the starting side scored a total of 91 points. The team's three-point shooting was accurate, hitting 23 of 43 shots, a 53.5 percent shooting percentage. In terms of the three main cores, Herro had 24 points and 14 assists, Martin scored 21 points, and Adebayo scored 21 points. When the three cores get 24+21+21 scoring data, the game can be won smoothly. In addition, rookies like Harx can also contribute their own strength, which makes Green Kai also very uncomfortable.
Now that the Heat have won G2, they naturally have the confidence to complete their goals in the first two games. In fact, in this round of the series, the foundation of the Heat's ability to play against Green Kai is Si Shuai, and he is also quietly changing the playoff pattern. It may be very difficult for Black Eight this year, but at least it will make Lu Kai lose a layer of skin. The Heat itself is a remnant, and it is not impossible to create a little trouble for the first place in the league. Of course, in terms of the current trend of the series, there has been a bit of a change. Previously, many people predicted that the Celtics would sweep, but now it seems that it will not be so easy, after all, Si Shuai threw off Mazzulla a few streets. Mazzulla is another version of Hamm, and the two are a level of existence.
The next game will return to the Heat's home court, and it will be even more lively when the time comes. Just look at Green Kai's ability to withstand pressure, after all, he was dominated once last season, and there are more or less shadows, not to mention losing home advantage. Green Kai should not think about the quick victory, and treat the Heat as an opponent. Of course, the Heat will not give up the game easily, and with Si Shuai, the game will be full of excitement. All in all, the series has to be played one game at a time, and no one can eat a big fat man in one bite.
