Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 169: The First Person in the Alliance

The starting lineup is not too big for the Heat. Fernandez on the bench has become a surprise player of the Nets. Although it has not been officially finalized, but according to the tone revealed by his agent, the chances of staying in the NBA have been greatly increased, which has also stimulated the Spaniard's state. Facing the Heat's perimeter defense, Fernandez found opportunities to get rid of Miller twice. , hit a three-pointer, and brought the point difference back to within 10 points.

In the second quarter, the Heat focused on Wade and Bosh, but the result was not good.

Judging from the scene, Wade's decline is relatively easy to see. The knee injury made Wade's explosive power much worse than before, and his playing style and method were completely different from those at his peak. The number of hits to the basket has been reduced, the number of mid-range jumpers has been increased, and the time difference between the pick-and-roll and rhythm changes is mainly relied on when breaking through, rather than using the speed to pass the opponent in one step. Wade's transformation is timely and sensible, but the decline in lethality is visible.

But James is relatively weak. His off-ball running is not very able to help Wade involve the offensive space. Wade is facing the Nets' row upon row of defensive formations, which is very difficult to play.

In contrast, the offensive environment on Bosh's side is slightly better, West is tough enough, but lacks height, and Camby, alas, is really a deal that Jiang Mingliang actually made and slightly regrets. Fortunately, the Heat's other insider Haslem's offensive power has degraded significantly. Under the unscrupulous defense, Bosh's shooting rate is not high. Relying on tough defense, the Nets slowly narrowed the game. Points difference.

Except for the two games against the Clippers, the Jazz were killed. In most other games, even if the Nets are in a weak position, most of them can always drag the opponent into encounters and bite. This team is quite aggressive. Immortal quality of will. While torturing yourself, you can cause more trouble to your opponent. And it was Stevens, who had achieved quite good results during his coaching college days, who brought this quality to the Nets. The final stage of college basketball is a single-game elimination system. No matter how many popular rookies you have in your team, no matter how strong your team is, enter March Madness, and you will lose one game. It is from this environment that Stevens has cultivated his skills. Instilling this kind of quality in players does not rely on Rivers-style chicken soup, but uses his own set of effective tactics to make players feel that they can help themselves and target the opponent. A trust that develops in the coach.

"After Liggins left, the team's defensive strength was really weakened. In tough battles, Coach Stevens was reluctant to use Korver." Jiang Mingliang said with some regret.

When facing James, even Anderson's playing time was compressed, and the team relied more on West. However, there is no way to do this. Who in the league will carry the Heat head-on, without compressing the rotation time, and try to let the main players play?

Thinking about the wing group prepared by the Warriors for James in the previous life, Jiang Mingliang also had the idea of ​​preparing a set for James.

In the second half of the second quarter, James, who regained the team's offensive dominance, continued his wonderful performance, shooting 5 of 8 shots and scoring 12 points. After halftime, he has already scored BT data of 24 points and 6 rebounds!

Under his leadership, the point difference was pulled back to 12 points.

"The team is still very young, facing the Heat, we still have a lot of shortcomings." The tone of the squatting girl really said this sentence from the standpoint of the protagonist.

"I don't think so. I think the Heat's shortcomings are more obvious than ours. On the contrary, we are a more comprehensive team. It's just that our advantages are not as prominent as theirs." Jiang Mingliang disagrees with the squatting girl.

Being young is not the reason to lose. How many of those teams that win in the future can really win in the future?

Looking at Jiang Mingliang, who had a different expression, the squatting girl's eyes were a little strange.

Whether facing media reporters externally or communicating with Stevens or players internally, most of Jiang Mingliang's answers are no pressure, no hard targets, and the highest requirement is not to be worse than last season. But that is to decompress the team and avoid some problems. In fact, Jiang Mingliang hoped to make some achievements to be worthy of the praise others gave him.

The performance in the first round of the playoffs last season can't match the praise he has received now. Only by performing in the playoffs can Jiang Mingliang truly feel that his work has a positive effect!

After a brief stalemate at the beginning of the second half, Stevens took the lead. Camby, who had high hopes but failed to perform well, was replaced and replaced by Fernandez. He used the strongest offensive lineup to deal with the Heat. After Fernandez came on the field, the Nets' defense turned to a faster pressure. During the rotation, the defensive strength inside continued to weaken.

However, in the two minutes that Fernandez played, the Nets played a 9:2 spurt, narrowing the point difference to 4 points, and once again made Spoelstra feel that the danger was coming.

Stevens' change has had obvious effects, but the opposite Spoelstra is not Thibodeau, and Negro's rigid and stubborn use of troops, he made adjustments immediately and let Bosh top Center, replaced by Battier at the top of the power forward position.

Veteran Haslem wants height but not height, and speed but not speed. Except for a little bit more strength to help block and protect rebounds, it is really not very useful. To put it bluntly, regardless of factors such as team culture and locker room stability, after the formation of the Big Three, it is a bit extravagant for the Heat to throw the little remaining salary space on Haslem.

This summer, with a 3-year contract to join the Heat, Battier can play most of the role. First of all, Battier's defense ability on the defensive end is at the top level in the league, which is a good supplement for the Heat. On the offensive end, Battier also has a good three-point shooting rate. He is currently the most stable three-point shooter on the Heat team under Mike Miller. Especially the three-pointer from the bottom corner is quite sure.

Battier's debut made George, who was the main defender, feel a little uncomfortable. At the same time, it also relieved James' pressure on the defensive end to a certain extent. As an opponent, Stevens also praised Spoelstra's timely response. Such a coach is very suitable for the current Heat, or in other words, it is very suitable for James.

The Heat's lineup has an absolute advantage. After all, the combined lethality of James and Wade can compete with the strongest combination in history. The Heat's counterattack only needs one of them to lead and become quite sure. Then the opponent had better get out of the way, so as not to be marked as 2+1.

The Nets have a deeper lineup, and Korver can still appear on the court for a while in this small lineup, and hit a three-pointer by the way. The Heat team is absolutely stronger, but James and Wade go down one, one less containment point, and the offensive threat drops geometrically. 5 points.
