Chapter 519 Curry is playing a very new basketball
Looking at the players who walked back to the bench, Spoelstra was very embarrassed.

He called a timeout, but hadn't figured out what to do.

This timeout had to be called. Curry made three ultra-long three-pointers. Seeing that he was about to break the psychological defense of the Heat players, he had to pay a timeout to interrupt the momentum of the Warriors' offense.

Moreover, the 0:9 lag has also brought the Heat to a very dangerous situation. If they fall behind by more than double digits in the first quarter, the Heat will have almost no initiative.

However, the Warriors' offense was completely beyond Spoelstra's expectations. He envisioned many possible tactics for the Warriors, but he never imagined that the Warriors' tactics would be initiated by Curry near the middle circle. High pick and roll!

Spoelstra has watched video replays of thousands of games for more than ten years. In his memory, he has never seen such a tactic.

The Heat are good at pinching pick-and-roll ball-handlers. That’s because most guards initiate pick-and-rolls, at most on the three-point line, and there are even many who initiate pick-and-rolls at the free throw line and then break through immediately. The Heat’s pincers will not Destroying one's own defensive formation, on the contrary, has a high probability of causing mistakes by the opponent's defender.

But Curry initiated a pick-and-roll directly in the middle circle. How does this make the Heat pinch?

If Bosh expands out and flanks with Chalmers, he will be pinned by Curry two meters beyond the three-point line, and the Heat's follow-up defense can already be declared a failure.

In the first few games, the Warriors had the opportunity to play four-on-three, but it was only a momentary opportunity. After Bosh flanked Curry, he was able to quickly shrink and fill the position. Overall, the Heat were still able to maintain a stable defensive formation.

But when Curry initiates a pick-and-roll near the middle circle, if the Heat attack again, it will be a real three-defense and four-defense. It really doesn't work if Jordan comes, even Pippen and Jordan come together.

Spoelstra was struggling, and Pat Riley, who was sitting in the box watching the game, fell silent after seeing the Warriors' tactics.

He looked at Curry with complex eyes, shocking, puzzled, admiring, regretful...

He has been in the NBA for so many years, what scene has he not experienced?What kind of superstar hasn't seen it?

But he has never seen a player like Curry. He has never seen the pick-and-roll tactics in the middle circle. He has never even thought that there are players in this world who dare to shoot three-pointers like this, and there are coaches who dare to arrange them like this. tactics.

At this moment, how much he hopes that Curry is a player of the Heat. As an extremely bold head coach, Pat Riley has a high degree of acceptance of various new tactics and alternative stars.

He was the one who proposed at the beginning that the best basketball team in the future would be composed of five players around two meters in length. This prediction also made him receive a lot of ridicule.

But now, his prophecy has become a reality. The Warriors' death squad is composed of five players who are about two meters long.
No, Curry is only 1 meters.

If Curry is a player for the Heat and Coach Z is the head coach of the Heat...

Pat Riley knows that this is impossible, but seeing his basketball philosophy being realized by another young and bold head coach, it is hard for him not to cherish his talents.

But it is a pity that the Warriors' success was achieved by stepping on the Heat's corpse. Zhang Yu and Curry are the Heat's biggest enemies.

Pat Riley suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and his expression calmed down again.

He can only trust Spoelstra and the Big Three. Even if he appreciates Zhang Yu, whose basketball philosophy fits him perfectly, he can only accept one reality.

The Warriors are the biggest enemy of the Heat. What the Heat need to do now is to smash Pat Leary's basketball philosophy to pieces!

……

The timeout ended quickly, the two sides returned to the field, and the game continued.

The Heat players have regained their composure, and the timeout has had half the effect, and the Heat's morale has stabilized.

The remaining half depends on the Heat's restrictions on Curry.

Heat offense, the Heat played an unusual tactic, Chalmers ball, and James pick and roll.

As the Warriors' defensive attention was focused on James, Chalmers used the cover to break through to a position near the free throw line and hit a jumper with an emergency stop. At 9:2, the Heat finally got their first point of the game.

Looking back, Curry dribbled the ball halfway, and the auditorium suddenly fell silent. The Heat fans watched Curry nervously, waiting for his next move.

Yu Jia said:

"The Warriors' round, let's see if Curry is going to continue the high pick-and-roll..."

Before he finished speaking, Chandler had already run towards the top of the arc, and the hearts of the Heat fans were raised.

However, the picture they expected did not appear, and Bosh followed Chandler to guard out.

This time, he did not choose to stay within the three-point line, but went directly to Curry and switched defenses with Chalmers.

"call……"

At this moment, I don't know how many Heat fans secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they saw that Chalmers was forced to switch to Chandler, who had a huge difference in height, and saw that Curry had a chance to play big, they didn't care anymore.

Whether it is Chandler's violent dunk or Curry's breakthrough after Bosh's military training, they are all goals within their cognition range, but the pull-up three-pointer after the high pick-and-roll is completely beyond their cognition range , scared their guts out.

The one who can best understand their feelings should be a man named Udoka. Nine years later, Curry used a high pick-and-roll to completely defeat the defense of the team he coached.

That team was called the Celtics. The defensive efficiency of the season ranked first in the league. The person who led the defense of Curry was the Celtics' strongest defensive leader. The best defensive player of the season - Sma special.

But it was such a team that was blown up by Curry, from the inside to the outside, in various senses.

Curry blasted every opponent, cracked the Celtics' various defenses, completely smashed all obstacles in front of them, and defeated the Celtics with an unreasonable attitude to win the championship.

Therefore, it is not to blame for the heat fans' panic. Curry is playing a very new basketball. Generally speaking, this kind of behavior is called "dimension reduction strike".

However, even Zhang Yu didn't know that Curry would play such a shocking round of finals after he crossed. These poor Heat fans could only silently bear the pain of being shattered in their basketball view.

Bosh switched defenses inside and outside the tunnel, Chandler immediately went straight to the basket, Chalmers hurriedly followed, James and Wade were also ready to help defend at any time, and Curry must not give Chandler a chance to directly feed the cake.

Curry had this intention. Seeing that the Heat were so defensive and almost cut off all the passing routes between him and Chandler, he didn't pass the ball to Chandler. Instead, he waited until Chandler sank to the bottom and started Singles Bosh.

Bosh's attention is very focused, but unfortunately, Curry's position is too high, there is still a distance from the three-point line, and there is too much room for maneuvering. After a simple change of direction, the center of gravity can be used Low and speed advantage, easily passed Bosh.

Bosh hurriedly turned around to chase, but was half a body behind Curry.

He is also suffering. Curry has already used three ultra-long three-pointers to prove his shooting range. In order to limit Curry's three-pointers, Bosh did not dare to let go. No matter how far Curry stands, he must extend more. Far away, naturally there is no room for reaction.

Curry took the ball to one step inside the free throw line. The Heat's help defense has come up. James emptied Butler and pounced on Curry. the pass.

But today's Curry was extremely murderous. He didn't look at his teammates on the weak side at all. Before James' defense was in place, he slowed down, leaned forward, flicked his wrist very silkily, and made a throw.

brush!
James couldn't interfere, and Bosh couldn't block Curry, who was leaning forward, and the basketball went into the net hollow, 11:2.

"Good shot! The Heat switched defenses and stopped Curry from shooting a three-pointer, so he changed to a drop shot and still scored. Curry's state today is really great!" Yu Jia praised.

But the Heat players were not frustrated by Curry's scoring. When Spoelstra paused to arrange the defense, he reminded them that if they want to limit Curry's three-pointers, it is inevitable for him to break through to the inside. They have long been mentally prepared for the chance to score.

Compared with the ultra-long pull-up three-pointer, no matter how smooth this throw is, it will not break their mentality.

Looking back, James holds the ball and Bosh picks and rolls, breaks through to the restricted area, and returns the ball to Bosh, who succeeds in the shot, 11:4.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry did not always occupy the possession of the ball. Green dealt the cards in a low position. Clay borrowed Chandler's cover to go to the strong side, caught the ball and made a three-pointer, and hit the iron under Bosh's interference.

The rebound was grabbed by James, the Heat counterattacked, James advanced with the ball, and with his excellent passing vision, he distributed the ball to Wade, who followed up on the left, who made a layup, 11:6.

"Good job!"

On the sidelines, Spoelstra shouted and applauded vigorously.

The Heat finally slowed down and got back on track. This game has just begun.

The Heat fans also cheered up again, and the cheers in the American Airlines Center slowly became louder again.

……

In the rest of the first quarter, the Heat still did not have the upper hand, but they stabilized the situation and the score was not further opened.

The Heat's switch on Curry was successful, and Curry only missed a [-]-pointer the rest of the first quarter, and all other shots were inside the three-point line.

But the Heat's defense against Curry also failed. In order to limit Curry's three-pointers, Bosh had to stand very outside. Curry could easily pass Bosh and break through to the Heat to score inside.

第一节打完，库里砍下16分4助攻，率领勇士以32:26领先热火6分。

Instead of blindly attacking, he took advantage of the Heat's emptiness inside, fed Chandler three times, and sent a three-point assist to Clay on the outside.

Of the 32 points the Warriors scored in the first quarter, a full 25 were directly or indirectly created by Curry. He dominated the Warriors' offense in the first quarter.

The Heat are still the same, relying on the personal abilities of the Big Three to bite the score.

James' state is as hot as ever, scoring 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Even though the Warriors intend to block his breakthrough, he still scored a lot of points in the Warriors penalty area by relying on his powerful and unparalleled impact.

James at his peak is indeed a big killer for attacking the frame, especially when he is full of fighting spirit. In this finals, his state has always been online.

However, Wade and Bosh's performance was not as good as the previous game.

As predicted by Stephen A. Smith and Yang Yi, their state has declined to a certain extent, and their influence on the game has been greatly reduced. They only scored 5 points and 4 points respectively, and their efficiency is not high.

……

For the Heat fans, the first quarter was tense and exciting. Curry's performance made them break out in a cold sweat, and the second quarter seemed a lot more dull.

In the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, both Zhang Yu and Spoelstra were very aggressive and cautious.

The tactics Zhang Yu arranged for Curry were very aggressive, but that was because the Warriors suffered two consecutive losses, and he had to make adjustments, especially at such an important juncture as the Battle of Tianwangshan.

Spoelstra asked Bosh to switch to Curry very aggressively, but that was because Curry's ultra-long three-pointer was too accurate, and he was about to destroy the psychological defense of the Heat players. He couldn't sit back and watch Curry shoot.

However, after the game entered a relatively stable rhythm, neither of them made drastic adjustments, but cautiously left the decisive opportunity in the second half.

The performance of the two teams in the first quarter has already let the other party understand that this game will not be a quick battle, and the battle will be very long.

And the second quarter is a very special period of time, the main players have to rest, and the rotation takes up a part of the time, and neither side can show their full strength.

If you make a move now, the opponent still has a halftime break to buffer and make a response. It is difficult to take the game away in one go.

Therefore, the NBA only has the saying that there is a wave in the third quarter, and there has never been a wave in the second quarter.

So, the second quarter passed at a very steady pace.

The difference is that the Heat still have the upper hand in the rotation stage. Although Wade and Bosh's status has declined, when they travel off-peak, Butler and Klay, who also travel off-peak, are still slightly inferior.

However, out of caution, Zhang Yu and Spoelstra did not allow the rotation to play for too long. After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, they switched back to the main lineup. Wade and Bosh did not have time to shrink for the Heat. Points difference.

Of course, Spoelstra wanted to continue to take advantage of Wade and Bosh's advantages in the transition period, but Zhang Yu took the lead in switching back to the main force. He didn't dare to let the two face the starting lineup led by Curry, so he had to switch back. starter.

而库里果然延续了第一节的出色手感，第二节6投3中，三分球2中1，罚球2中2，得到9分2助攻，率领勇士继续以62:57领先热火5分。

After all, the efforts of Wade and Bosh were not in vain, narrowing the difference by 1 point for the Heat, which was one of the few consolations for Heat fans in the first half.

But they also know that in the second half, the Heat will usher in a real storm!
