Chapter 630: Pat Riley's Dread

It has to be said that the match between the Hans and the Heat attracted special attention, so that after the Hans "miracle" back a round, the entire United States and even the Chinese people who have been concerned about the Hans have increased their "investment" in the next few games. degree.

This is what Stern wants to see. Of course, this is probably what Heat coach Pat Riley doesn’t want to see. No one wants to see someone stepping on their upper position, especially Pat Riley. The hated Han team.

It is conceivable that this Han Chinese and the Heat behind the game can be expected to have a lot of "sparks"!

Sure enough, on May 11, 1997, the Hans of New York were a guest in Miami and lost to the Heat with a 73-116. On the 12th, the Hans of New York once again lost to the Heat with a 87-136, turning the big score of this series into 1 to 3. .

After the game, Heat coach Pat Riley raised his arms and cheered, which greatly eased the long-standing grievances in his heart.

Since the Hans pulled back a game at home, Pat Riley’s pressure has doubled. It’s not that the Heat boss Mickey Allison questioned his coaching ability. The main reason is that the Heat actually lost to the Han who has three fewer players. Let this big guy be very shameless. If you didn't win the game that should be won, you said who would feel comfortable with it.

Fortunately, the Heat resisted the pressure or won the game. Even the Heat fans in the field were very happy, not to mention the others.

Of course, the main reason for the Hans’ miserable defeat was that the team was too exhausted. They had to play at least three games within five days. Moreover, the intensity of the playoffs was not comparable to that of the regular season. This also resulted in the lack of it. The Han Chinese of Major General Bing made the situation worse.

Therefore, the Hans are always arranged as a substitute starter in the game, allowing Kevin Garnett, who is a little injured, to stand on the sidelines and take a good rest on the bench so that he can play in the home game later.

It can be said that there are only 8 Han players in total, and most of the players take turns to play the game. The number was originally 3 fewer. However, the Han coach Paul Westphal still pressed Kevin Garnett. On the bench, this shows that it is basically impossible for the Han to win the game.

Although the players rotate on the field, the Han players still don't feel too tired. Why?

That’s because Paul Westphal’s designated tactics in the game are still “one star and four shots”, but the main “star” has changed from Kevin Garnett to veteran Buck Williams. This makes it impossible for the Han to have such a good chance to score the ball outside.

If the ball can't get past, what should I do? You can only play the pick-and-roll while implementing the "one star four shot". This is also the most energy-saving play.

As for the overall hit rate of the Han, it is really unbearable to look directly at it.

Only 12 of 39 three-pointers were made in the two games. You can imagine the others. How cold it feels!

But in any case, both sides achieved their goals in the two games. The Heat need to win at home to boost their military spirit, while the Han people have to save their energy in order to win another game or two in the following games.

The G5 game will be held on the 15th, which means that the Han people can have one day to rest, which is undoubtedly a long drought for the Han people!

Especially in the G5 game, power forward Clifford Robinson returned from the lifting of the ban, which shows that the Hans' inside line is no longer relying on Kevin Garnett and Sam Perkins to support 5 scenes.

With Clifford Robinson, Kevin Garnett has an absolute backup, so that Buck Williams can be mentioned as a center forward for Sam Perkins as a backup.

The inside line of the Han people added vitality. This is not a good thing for the Heat. They could have swept the Han people with a big score of 4:0, but now it’s better. The Han people are slowing down and they have added a new force. , This completely increased the pressure on the Heat.

Although the Heat have already held the match point, they really have no confidence when they return to New York. Not only do they have to prevent the Han Chinese from using "delay tactics" and "one star and four shots" again, and also that they can no longer be like before. In a few games, you can unscrupulously hit the inside of the Han people.

The inside line of the three Han people is definitely good for impact, but adding one more person to four people means that the tricks of "fouling" are useless, especially Clifford Robinson is still relatively fierce, 2.08 Meters are tall, have excellent defensive awareness, and can launch long-range missiles from beyond the three-point line.

This is very scary for the Heat. It's not good news for the Hans to "one star and four shots". Another outside scorer has been added. Can this be good news? Didn't you see what Pat Riley was worried about?

Pat Riley never thought that he would be afraid of overturning the boat in the final gutter when holding the match point. This is definitely a "wonder"!

Can you not be afraid? !

The Hans use Kevin Garnett as the "star" inside. Look at how many scorers are allocated to him. Inside are Sam Perkins and Clifford Robinson, and there are more outside. Yes, in addition to Mark Jackson and Scott Brooks who specialize in organizing the team, Glen Rice, Steve Nash, Dell Curry, Jaylen Rose and other players are all shooters.

Pat Riley really didn't know that the Hans found so many players with such a strong shooting ability.

Maybe they didn’t play very well in those two games in Miami. But looking at the two games of the Han people, the Han people used the games as regular season games, and the intensity was not so strong at all, so that the two games were played by the Han people. It's understandable that his accuracy is not good, after all, people have retained their strength!

But now, there is one more pitcher, so there is no need for people to live.

In fact, it is a trivial matter for Clifford Robinson to come back from the lifting of the ban. The real big thing is that if the Hans win another game, then Kobe Bryant will be able to come back. This is a big deal for the Heat.

After all, Kobe Bryant was tied with Allen Iverson for this award in the just-concluded Rookie of the Year nomination. One can imagine how difficult Kobe Bryant is, plus he is in the Eastern Heat. Having played four games in a row with the Hans in the regular season, Kobe Bryant is definitely the Heat’s "nemesis".

So Pat Riley is particularly nervous about G5. He doesn’t dare to care about it, because if he loses this game, then the next game is really hard to say. Don’t look at the Han who is still two games behind, but once Kobe Bu After Lion's comeback, the ending is unpredictable!
