Chapter 328 Poison (9000 words)
October 1st, 10:8pm.

Outside the Oracle Center, there was a lot of traffic and crowds. The 19596 fans who came one after another made the 880 road very congested.

In the past two seasons, all the home games of the Warriors have been full, and there will never be any vacancies. Today's game against the Heat is a strong matchup, full of topics, and the ticket price has risen even higher, selling out early.

Rick Wertz stood by the window of the office, with his hands in his pockets, his shirt was unbuttoned at two openings, and his hair was a little messy.

He quietly looked at the Warriors fans pouring into the arena below, and after a while, he turned his gaze to the signboard of "Oakland Arena" (Oakland Arena) erected on the top of the arena, with regret flashing in his eyes The color, murmured:
"We have so many fans, and across the bay, there are still a large number of fans above the middle class. However, due to the location and ownership of the arena, we cannot really develop the commercial value contained in them. It is a pity... ..."

Rick Wertz shook his head lightly, looked away, returned to the desk, gathered up the thick and messy documents on the desk, put them aside, and threw the finished takeaway packages and a small amount of food leftovers in the in the trash.

He didn't go home last night, he stayed in the office and was busy all night selecting the site for the Warriors' new arena. It wasn't until ten o'clock this morning that he fell asleep in the office and just woke up.

After packing up all the things, Rick Wertz sat down, sorted out the emails communicated with his subordinates during the day, browsed through the contents, smiled with satisfaction, and whispered to himself:
"Soon, we must start building our own new arena this year, a arena that belongs exclusively to the Warriors..."

He turned off the computer, got up and went to the bathroom, tidied up his shirt, combed his hair neatly, put on a well-tailored high-end suit, and walked out of the office slowly.

Rick Wertz only slept for a little over six hours, but he was very energetic and didn't feel sleepy at all.

As the president of the Warriors, he wants to watch the team beat the Heat with his own eyes.

……

In the locker room of the home team, Zhang Yu was standing near the door, discussing tactics with Silas, Ron Adams and Bruce in a low voice, making the final preparations. The players were sitting in their seats, chatting and laughing with each other, or keeping Quiet, sorting out his jersey, sneakers, wrist guards, knee pads, ankle pads and other equipment.

Butler and Leonard's seats were next to each other. Butler adjusted the tightness of the shoelaces, straightened up, stomped his feet, and looked at Leonard who was seriously putting on his socks:
"Kawhi, the heat is about to hit, are you nervous?"

Leonard put on his socks, shook his head, hesitated, and nodded again:
"A little."

Butler laughed:
"It's okay, don't look at the Heat with the Big Three, but they lost more against us than they won. You also took video lessons yesterday. The Heat can only play singles, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

When Leonard heard this, he smiled a little, and his expression relaxed a little.

Yesterday, the Warriors team spent two hours in the video class, watching the Heat's game video under the explanation of the coaching staff, and had a more detailed and clear understanding of the Heat's offensive and defensive tactics. The young players represented by Leonard , I am no longer afraid of the Heat, but due to the prestige of the Big Three, it is inevitable that I will be a little nervous.

Butler withdrew his smile and patted Butler on the shoulder:

"Of course, don't relax too much. Today you have to take on heavy tasks, and you must maintain a certain sense of tension, which is conducive to your performance."

Leonard nodded slightly. He knew very well that although Butler entered the NBA two years earlier than him, he had played in the Western Conference Finals, had rich experience in major competitions, and spoke good words.

And today's game is a "big game" for him.

Leonard put on his ball shoes, stepped hard on the ground, made a muffled "bang", and said in a deep voice;
"Jimmy, I will definitely guard James."

……

In the locker room of the visiting team, the Heat players were quietly preparing for the game. Spoelstra held the tactical board and stood directly in front of everyone, making the final arrangements:

"...Fight according to our usual tactics, but don't take it lightly. The Warriors' offensive and defensive efficiency is terribly high. Their record is even better than ours. They are a strong enemy. Dwayne, you must keep an eye on Curry. Kill his three-pointer, as long as he calls a screen, double-team him for me. Others pay attention to the rotation and don’t miss people. The Warriors are a team that likes to run without the ball. If you lose your mind for a second, Might miss an open three-pointer..."

His expression was very serious, as if he attached great importance to the Warriors, but he did not make targeted adjustments.

It's not that Spoelstra doesn't want to adjust, but that he has no way to adjust.

The Big Three occupy most of the salary space of the Heat. This is the result of their salary cuts and sacrifices. The Heat can only use a large amount of basic salary to fill the team lineup. The highest salary around the Big Three is Mike Miller's $540 million , the annual salaries of the rest of the players are all $400 million or less, and 7 of them earn no more than $150 million.

It is conceivable that the quality of the players recruited with such a salary is good. Of course, there are many veterans like Battier who have lowered their salary for the championship, but most of them are Juwan Howard, James Jones, Eddie Curry is a former balloon star who takes a veteran's basic salary as a facade.

With the team full of basic-salary veterans, Spoelstra has very few available cards. The Heat are very dependent on the Big Three on both offense and defense, and they can only rely on the Big Three.

After the finals crashed into the sand, Spoelstra did not dare to stay strong, and went all out at the beginning of the season. While the Heat's record has been advancing all the way, there is very little room for adjustment. Fine-tuning, powerless to make big changes.

After studying the Warriors' game video, he was also shocked by the Warriors' dynamic and disciplined offensive and defensive system, but he believes in the strength of the Big Three. The Heat have two superstars. As long as James and Wade play well enough, With Bosh adding bricks and tiles, the Warriors are definitely not the opponents of the Heat.

Spoelstra clapped his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Let's cheer up. I hope to start this trip to the Western Conference with a big victory. Our goal is to win the championship. Before that, we must win the first place in the league, keep the number one position in the league, and win the home game. Advantage!"

……

After Spoelstra finished speaking, the Heat players responded, and then made their own pre-game preparations.

Wade put the black elbow pad on his left arm, and his movements were serious and meticulous.

Since his rookie season, his left shoulder has been plagued by injuries, which made Wade pay great attention to the protection of his left arm.

After wearing the elbow pads, Wade seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to James beside him:
"LeBron, do you remember one of the things I told you when we were training together in Miami in early July, the one I saw running down the street with Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler in the morning thing."

James thought for a while, adjusted the hair band on his forehead, nodded and said:

"Remember, what happened?"

Wade put on his sneakers and said:
"You said at the time that they might be training. Now it seems that they should really be training, and they must have been training for a long time, otherwise they would not have made such great progress."

James laughed:
"It's been so long, you still think about it?"

Wade sighed softly:
"I can't think about it. The Warriors are now gaining momentum and are our potential opponents for the championship. To be honest, after watching the Warriors' video, I feel that we can't play the same effect as they do. Although the Warriors have many young players, they cooperate Very tacit understanding, even complex passes and cuts can be played well, but it is difficult for us to play tactics that need to be coordinated. In the finals last season, we couldn’t break the Mavericks defense, and finally fell short..."

James' expression sank slightly. Last year's Finals was an eternal pain in his heart. He didn't like others to mention this scar, but it was Wade who said this. He could only explain patiently:
"The Mavericks are no longer our opponents. We won the opening game by nearly 20 points. Not only that, the Celtics were our defeat last year. Rose is too young. The Bulls' offense is a mess. The Spurs were just hacked last year. , The Lakers lineup is seriously aging...Dwayne, I still say the same thing, as long as we don’t have any problems, no team will be our opponent. Are you worried that the Warriors will pose a threat to us? They are too young. Still winning, but in the playoffs, the Warriors won't go very far."

"But, LeBron, I can feel it. I'm not as fit as I used to be. I can't score as easily as I used to. If there is another accident this year ... Honestly, the Warriors seem to have the potential. "Wade said with some concern.

He didn't finish his first sentence, but James knew what he meant.

James tucked the jersey into his pants, patted Wade on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Dwayne, rest assured, we are now on the right path. No matter how potential the Warriors are, they need time to grow. They have too many young players in their lineup. What we need to do is to stick to the current style of play. , as long as you, me and Chris unite, we can definitely build a dynasty!"

Wade nodded slightly, he was persuaded by James.

He only wants a championship now, as long as he can win the championship, he is willing to make any sacrifice, even if it is to give up his ball rights and team status.

Seeing the change in Wade's expression, James smiled slightly, stood up, stretched out his left hand towards Wade, pulled him up from the seat, and said:

"Let's go, brother, to win the victory, I have a hunch, the first step in the league is just the first step for us to win the championship. As I said earlier, we will not win one, two, three championships, but five or six championships. , seven!"

……

"Friends from the audience, good morning, everyone. I am very happy to meet you on Wednesday morning. Today is the NBA game day. What we bring to you is a focus battle between the Warriors and the Heat. I came to the studio today as a guest commentator. Yes, it is Zhang Weiping, who is very familiar to everyone... I hope that the audience friends will actively send text messages to communicate with us while paying attention to the game. A is to support the Warriors, and B is to support the Heat..."

In the studio of CCTV5, Yu Jia proficiently recited this opening line which he has used countless times. Finally, he looked at Zhang Weiping sitting beside him and asked:

"Director Zhang, what do you think of the game between the Warriors and the Heat?"

Zhang Weiping smiled and said:
"Today's game was also broadcast live across the United States in the United States. Everyone should know that the national live broadcast is amazing, which is enough to show that this game has a high standard and a lot of attention. When I was in the United States..."

Yu Jiapo was a little speechless watching Zhang Weiping gossip, and finally turned to the topic:
"...Today, I am more optimistic about the Heat. Although the Warriors have not lost a game yet, the Heat have the Big Three after all, and the Big Three are in very good condition. The Warriors are very difficult to defend. And the Warriors are good everywhere. There are too many young people. When there are too many young people, the team lacks experience. Today’s game is very much concerned, and it may put a lot of pressure on the young Warriors. Curry’s playing is unreasonable. Spurs Terra should send Wade to guard him. Everyone knows Wade's defense. He is a top guard. Whether Curry can make those unreasonable three-pointers is also a problem, so I am still more optimistic about the Heat. But Zhang Yu will definitely make targeted arrangements, he has always been very thoughtful in tactics, this may be an opportunity for the Warriors."

After Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took it:
"Okay, thanks to Director Zhang for his analysis. The game is about to start, and the broadcast screen has also been cut to the scene. We can see that the Heat are still the stable starters of Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh and Joel Anthony. The Warriors did not make any adjustments to the lineup. Curry, Clay, Butler, Green and Chandler all appeared on the starting five. They all played an important role in the Warriors' eight-game winning streak... Yes, both sides jump the ball, Chandler handed the ball to Curry, the game begins!"

On the field, after Curry received the ball, he didn't advance immediately, but stopped for a while, and waited for all his teammates to pass halftime before slowly dribbling the ball across halftime, which was very steady.

Curry came to the top of the arc, Wade forced up to him, and stopped one step away from him.

Curry stopped, and his dribbling movements became more cautious. Wade is a top single-defense expert. With his explosive power and agility, Curry may be intercepted by him if he is a little careless.

Curry protected the ball and waved inside, and Chandler immediately stepped up to cover him.

Joel Anthony immediately followed, stopped in front of Curry, stretched out his long arms to cover Curry, Wade also struggled to squeeze through the screen, and rushed towards Curry, trying to block his shot.

Curry saw two people pounced on him, and instead of forcing a shot, he lobbed the ball to Chandler who was down.

After receiving the ball, Chandler was about to attack the frame, but Bosh rushed over from the left side of the penalty area in time to help defend, blocking Chandler's breakthrough line.

Chandler also didn't force the frame. He didn't even look at it. He flicked his hand and threw the ball to the left corner.

According to the rehearsed tactics, Green stood there, opening up space.

As expected, Green, who was in the bottom corner, took Chandler's pass, adjusted slightly, and raised his hand to throw a three-pointer before the rotating James arrived.

Bang!

Green's shooting angle is very positive, but the strength is a little weaker. The basketball hits the left edge of the basket and bounces high.

Inside the Heat penalty area, Chandler and Bosh were entangled together. The rest of the Heat were standing on the three-point line, and it was too late to recover. Chandler took advantage of the dual advantages of height and weight to beat Bosh to grab the offensive rebound. Strong on the spot, dunking the basketball with both hands.

2: 0.

Bosh picked up the basketball, took a step back, and quickly sent the baseline ball. After James received the ball, he rushed to the frontcourt immediately, trying to push a fast break, but the Warriors had already prepared for it. Butler stopped in front of him and delayed his attack. Speed, while the rest of the Warriors quickly played back when Green missed the shot, laying down a tight line of defense, and did not give the Heat an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Yu Jia said:

"The Warriors retreated very quickly and did not give the Heat a chance to push the fast break. It seems that Zhang Yu made sufficient preparations before the game. This season, the Heat's fast break points per game are as high as 16.5 points, ranking second in the league. It is their An important means of scoring. It is worth mentioning that the average fast break points of the Warriors is as high as 18.7 points, ranking first in the league. Today we are likely to see a fast break battle where you come and go, and who can limit The opponent's fast break will have a great impact on the outcome of the game."

On the court, James saw that there was no chance for a fast break, so he slowed down after halftime and raised his hand. Joel Anthony immediately came up to cover him, and the others opened up space.

Although James' position is a small forward, he is only a small forward when he transitions from offense to defense. He is a pure defender in positional warfare.

Facing the pick-and-roll launched by James, the Warriors did not switch defenses. Butler chose to circle the screen. Chandler also shrank to the free throw line and let James enter the inside.

James hesitated for a moment, instead of taking advantage of this fleeting space to initiate a breakthrough, he adjusted and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Under normal circumstances, James must have held the ball and killed the inside line without hesitation. As long as he is given a gap, no one can stop his rampage.

But Chandler's defensive position was chosen very delicately, completely blocking James' breakthrough path. If James wants to kill the inside line, the two must meet head-on, and Chandler's confrontation and frame protection make James very afraid. He didn't want to challenge Chandler's defense early on.

Bang!

The basketball hit the front edge of the basket, bounced out of the basket, and was collected by Green who shrank under the basket.

Zhang Weiping said:
"This is not James' specialty. The Warriors' strategy is very clear, that is, let him shoot three-pointers, and he really made them. Isn't this just right?"

Yu Jia added:
"But James' three-point shooting this season is not bad, with a 36.2% shooting rate, but he only made 1.1 three-pointers per game, and the output is very low"

Zhang Weiping nodded and said:

"James's three-pointers were made by others when he was left open. He didn't shoot too many. The Warriors are doing the same now. They just saw that his three-pointers can't kill people. If he wants to win, he must go kill."

After James missed the shot, he immediately retreated to the backcourt with a slightly ugly face.

After losing in the finals, he learned from the painful experience. He practiced shooting, footwork and post-up singles hard in the summer, and made great progress, especially the back-up and footwork. After the start of the new season, his criticized "crab steps" have decreased. a lot.

But his progress in shooting is still negligible. Even if the opponent puts him wide open, he is still ineffective. Whether he can make it or not is purely dependent on the sky, and the volatility is extremely high. Judging from the shooting just now, he should be strong today.

The Warriors attacked, but Curry did not take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack. He slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and still played a pick-and-roll with Chandler. Intentionally short Green.

After the conduction of Curry-Chandler-Green, the basketball reached the hands of Green in the right corner.

The Heat counterattacked, and the Warriors were methodical, fast and orderly, with layers of defenses, eliminating the Heat's counterattack invisible, and the Heat could only fall into position.

James launched the pick-and-roll again. This time, he didn't gamble on his hand, but took advantage of the gap Butler left him when he went around the screen, suddenly started it, and went inside.

Butler came up from the side, exerting a physical confrontation on James and slowing his speed. Chandler stopped in front of him, raised his hands and stepped back, removing James' strength in the confrontation without giving him room to accelerate.

Under this flexible defensive formation, James' brute force had nowhere to play, and his speed dropped quickly. He was about to be cornered by Butler and Chandler, so he could only pass the ball to Joel. . Anthony.

Joel Anthony wanted to attack the frame directly, but Chandler's footsteps were quick, and he immediately turned around and shrunk to the basket, blocking Joel Anthony's downward route. The latter stopped the ball in desperation, looking left and right for a long time, Before passing the ball to Wade who came to meet him.

After such a toss, the Heat's offensive time was running out, and Wade had no time to hesitate. He adjusted his dribble and made a mid-range shot under Clay's interference.

brush!
2: 2.

"Hey, yes!" Zhang Weiping yelled, "Wade's shot is difficult enough, the Heat's pick-and-roll can't hit it, and James has no good way to face the pincers of Chandler and Butler."

On the court, the Warriors sent the baseline ball, and after receiving the ball, Curry slowly dribbled across the half court, not in a hurry at all, and had time to look at Zhang Yu on the sidelines.

Yu Jiaqi said:

"The Warriors are the fastest-paced team in the league, but today they don't play any fast breaks or counterattacks. This is determined to lose ground."

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu gestured to Curry who was looking towards him. Curry nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then turned his attention back to the game.

Today the Warriors can only play positional warfare, not fast breaks, or even counterattacks.

No one knows James better than Zhang Yu. James has the most powerful transition attack ability in the league. As long as he rushes up, no one can stop him. Even the 36-year-old James, as long as he gets a fast break opportunity, he is still on the court. Rampant and domineering, there is no way to stop it.

Zhang Yu will not fight the Heat for fast breaks. Although the Warriors are good at switching offense, it is a very unwise choice to fight fast breaks with the peak James.

There are safer ways to win, why would he take the risk?
Zhang Yu put his hands in his pockets and took two steps towards the center line. Looking at the situation on the court, he smiled and looked relaxed.

……

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he stopped playing pick-and-roll with Chandler, but beckoned Green to come up as a screen.

Seeing Curry's gesture, Green immediately went up to the top of the arc. Butler and Clay ran to the right bottom corner and 45 degrees outside the three-point line, bringing James and Chalmers over. Chandler He also withdrew from the Heat's penalty area and came to the left corner. Joel Anthony had to follow him to the left side of the penalty area in order not to be blown to defend for three seconds.

Curry watched his teammates fall at the top of the arc before launching a pick-and-roll and going to the right to break through. Like Joel Anthony before him, Curry pinched Curry. Curry hit the ground and passed to Green who was running down After Green received the ball, he rushed to the Heat penalty area with the ball, and James and Joel Anthony shrunk to the basket to help defend.

Green took the ball and started, tilted his head to the right, and swung his hands to the right, making a gesture to pass the ball to Butler in the corner. James paused and ran back, but Green immediately received the ball and rushed to the basket. Joe Anthony came up to block, Green took off and threw the ball into the sky, Chandler came out from behind Joel Anthony, caught the ball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket!
boom!
4: 2.

"Chandler, dunk with both hands! Green's pass is too subtle. He first made a fake pass to deceive James, and then faked a real pass to deceive Joel Anthony. His passing ability is definitely not better than that of a point guard. Poor!" Yu Jia praised.

Zhang Weiping is also full of praise:
"Green's play was too reasonable. The Heat's shrinking defense was completely broken by him, but the biggest hero in this offense was Curry. He attracted two people to attack and created space for Green to operate. But Green also plays a big role, and the general insiders definitely don't have his precise passing."

The round changed, the Heat attacked, and James just passed halftime, handed the ball to Wade, and ran to the right 45 degrees to open space for Wade.

Among the Big Three teams, James can't always occupy the ball, and he just missed two shots, and the Heat also had to make adjustments. Without Spoelstra's reminder, James consciously handed the ball to Wayne. Germany.

After Wade received the ball, he waved his hand, and the rest of the Heat quickly pulled away, leaving him room to single out Clay.

Facing Clay, who was waiting in full force, Wade made a sharp change in front of his body, mobilized Clay's center of gravity, and then went to the right to break through, overtaking Clay by half, and suddenly stopped when he reached the free throw line. With a horizontal movement of his body, he exerted a physical confrontation on Clay, slowed down Clay's chasing speed, accelerated again, stepped on the European step to avoid Chandler's assisting defense, and succeeded in picking the basket.

4: 4.

Zhang Weiping praised:
"Beautiful! Wade's lost step is really good, but the most skillful thing is when he leans on Clay. This sudden stop and rush completely disrupts the rhythm of Clay's pursuit and defense. If Wade doesn't rely on this , directly kill the basket, there is Chandler in front, and Clay in the back, then he stepped on the lost track to find a hat, but just like this, Clay couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Wei De layup."

The Warriors attacked, others cleared the strong side, Curry beckoned, Green raised to cover Curry, or Curry-Green pick-and-roll.

This is the characteristic of a warrior, and it is also Zhang Yu's habit. As long as the trick is effective, he will keep fighting until the opponent changes or collapses.

After the Heat went online to pinch, Curry gave the ball to Green. Green faced the Heat's follow-up contraction and defense, and then dealt with four-on-three.

This time, the Heat's defense changed. Joel Anthony didn't dare to let Chandler go, and James shrank to the basket to protect the frame.

Green quickly passed the ball to Butler who was emptied at 45 degrees on the right. When Butler received the ball, Chalmers turned around. Butler was not greedy for credit, and then passed the ball to Clay in the bottom corner. Just shoot, three-pointer hollow into the net.

7: 4.

"Good shot! The Warriors did a very good job of passing the ball. Clay got a big open opportunity in the corner. There was no one within five meters of him. The Heat shouldn't miss someone. Clay is the most accurate shooter for the Warriors. Judging from his 46.6% three-point shooting rate, he is even more accurate than Curry, and no one can miss Clay if the Heat misses it." Yu Jia said.

Zhang Weiping said with some emotion:

"Today's ball looks good. The Heat's rotation is already very good. The first-line attack, the follow-up contraction, and the rotation on the outside are all done very well. Green, Chandler and Butler didn't have a chance, but the ball is better. People move fast, as long as you have double teams, there will definitely be a four-on-three situation. The Warriors' passing is also really good, not at all like a young team. They can shoot against people, but they just want to find the open person and let him shoot. This is a reasonable offense and the best offense!"

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu clapped his hands after Clay scored a goal, with a wider smile on his face.

The offensive effect he wanted was fully realized.

Zhang Yu looked at Spoelstra on the other side of the technical stage, with curiosity in his eyes, and whispered to himself:

"Eric, this is the first problem I prepared for you, how will you solve it?"

……

In front of the Heat's bench, Spoelstra stood with his chest folded, his brows furrowed, and he was caught in a tangle.

The Heat's defense was obviously at a disadvantage. The pincers he arranged could limit Curry's personal scoring, but they couldn't limit the Warriors' team offense. He hesitated, and immediately made adjustments to give Curry a chance to shoot a three-pointer , or continue to adhere to the pincer strategy.

Spoelstra's entanglement did not last too long. After Bosh singled Green and hit a two-pointer steadily, he no longer hesitated and chose to continue to pinch Curry.

Since he had to choose one of the two bottles of poison, he chose to strangle Curry and let the Warriors role players shoot.

Basketball is a game of scoring. Spoelstra believes that with the Big Three in hand, the Heat's scoring ability is far stronger than the Warriors who "lack" Curry. Since Zhang Yu wants to use the Warriors' team to attack, he will hold a singles match with the Heat If you fight, then he will accompany you to the end!
……

Then, for the rest of the first quarter, Curry was on the court, but he didn't score much. He just took advantage of the Heat's communication error to make a three-pointer, scored 3 points, and had very few assists, only 1 indivual.

His main role is to pick and roll to attract flankers, and then let Green handle four-on-three.

Under this tactic, Green scored 5 assists in the first quarter and organized the four-on-three situation perfectly. Clay, Butler and Chandler all scored at least 6 points. With the joint efforts of the three, The Warriors scored a total of 26 points in the first quarter, and their offensive efficiency was also extremely high.

But the Heat's performance in the first quarter was not bad, scoring a total of 25 points, which was evenly matched with the Warriors.

Spoelstra chose the "Warrior Team" bottle of poison among the two bottles of poison "Curry" and "Warrior Team", and Zhang Yu also took the initiative to choose the "James" and "Wade" bottle of poison I chose the bottle of Wade.

In the first quarter, Zhang Yu first voluntarily gave up the fast break, suppressed the rhythm, and emphasized retreating, making it impossible for the Heat to play fast breaks and abolishing James' powerful conversion scoring ability.

In the positional battle, under the arrangement of Zhang Yu, the Warriors flanked James, luring him to pass the ball to Joel Anthony, who was emptied, and under the top inside defense of the Warriors League, Joel Anthony handled the ball roughly His ability and poor shooting ability can't pose a threat to the Warriors' restricted area at all. He can only distribute the ball to the outside again, allowing Wade or Bosh to play singles.

For the two of them, the Warriors adopted a single-defense strategy, which gave the two stars a chance to score.

But Bosh is not Gasol, he does not have Gasol's tonnage and strength, under Green's tough confrontation, Bosh's scoring efficiency is somewhat limited, within the acceptable range of Zhang Yu.

Only Wade scored crazy points against Clay. Limited by the talent gap, even Wade, who has suffered serious injuries repeatedly, Clay can't limit his scoring. He can only try not to lose his position and consume Wade's strength physical fitness.

Zhang Yu can only watch Clay being ravaged by Wade. It is impossible for him to let Curry defend Wade, which is equivalent to sending points, and Butler has to face James. Switching to Clay, James can run through Clay with a pick-and-roll, put in a long drive, and succeed in dunks. Chandler has no time to set up a defense.

……

After the start of the second quarter, both sides put on transitional lineups. The Heat had James with four substitutes, and Wade and Bosh went down to rest.

In the first quarter, James didn't consume much physical energy, and he was off the field in 2 minutes. This is the time when he is full of physical energy.

Zhang Yu boldly deployed a full bench lineup of Jeremy Lin, Tony Allen, Leonard, Yi Jianlian and Whiteside, leaving no one in the starting lineup.

After seeing the Warriors' lineup, Spoelstra immediately instructed James to increase the intensity of his personal attack, seize this godsend opportunity, and establish a sufficient lead.

Yu Jia was also puzzled and said:
"Butler's defense against James is very good. Why doesn't Zhang Yu bring him up and continue to match up with James? There is no need to stick to the rotation against the Heat. Let Leonard, a rookie, defend against James. The effect is definitely not as good as Butler. "

Zhang Weiping said with a smile:
"Zhang Yu must have his own ideas. Maybe he should try to bring Leonard up first. If it doesn't work, then replace him. This is not the playoffs. Anyway, there is nothing to lose. It's good to train rookies, but it really shouldn't be used. Leonard against James, this is a reward!"
