Chapter 521 Doesn't Stephen have a cylinder?
When the Heat players saw the Warriors' dead five, all the smiles on their faces disappeared.

They clearly remember that G1 faced death for five hours, the feeling of being forced to fight and move at high speed all the time.

It was a suffocating feeling. They had to keep their full attention, because their opponents were extremely aggressive and mobile. If they were not careful, the ball in their hands would be intercepted and the Warriors would push back.

The same is true for positional warfare. The space of the five small lineups is extremely wide. Just simple running and covering can create a great threat. The Heat players dare not slack off in the slightest.

Seeing that the Warriors had replaced the Death Five, they immediately became vigilant.

However, Spoelstra had already planned for this. They knew what to do and didn't feel flustered. It's just that the effect still needs to be tested in the game.

On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Green made a high pick-and-roll.

Bosh hesitated, but chose to attack Curry.

Before Spoelstra gives new instructions, he still has to play according to tactics.

Curry gave the ball to Green, and Green took the ball and rushed into the Heat's interior and went straight to the basket.

At this time, Klay, Butler, and Leonard were all standing outside the three-point line. After Bosh expanded, the Heat's inside line was extremely empty, and James had to shrink to help defend.

Butler didn't wait in the same place, he followed James and cut towards the penalty area. After Green attracted James' attention, he threw the ball into the sky. Butler dunked successfully with both hands, 64:64.

"Good shot! The Warriors played a classic four-on-three combination. Curry attracted a pincer and passed the ball to Green. Green then slid down. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball to Butler who cut in the air. The cooperation was smooth and smooth." Yu Yu Jia said.

Yang Yi smiled and said:

"As soon as the Warriors went to the fifth team, the space immediately opened up, which created a problem for the Heat's defense. If they continue to double-team Curry, the Heat will be too empty inside, and they will not be able to prevent the Warriors from attacking the frame."

Yang Yi's words came true soon.

The Heat attacked, James broke through the frame, and gave the ball to Bosh who followed up. The latter made a layup and overtook the score again.

But looking back, Curry and Green had a high pick-and-roll, and after encountering a pinch, they passed the ball to Green. James paid attention to guarding Butler behind him this time, but Green directly made a layup and easily equalized the score.

After the round transition, the Heat continued to storm the Warriors' basket. This is Spoelstra's tactic for the dead five.

Death Five has a very obvious shortcoming. No matter how strong Green's ability to protect the frame and how tough he is on the defensive end, his height is only two meters. The Warriors lack height, and the inside defense is inevitably much weaker.

After losing G1, Spoelstra carefully studied the video of the game and thought of many offensive tactics, which were specially used to target the Warriors' dead five, the most important of which was to attack the basket.

The Heat deployed two shooters on the perimeter, James used the impact, and Bosh used the height to forcefully attack the frame.

Attacking the inside line, from the inside out, is the best way to crack the dead five. The Heat have no low-level killers and can only rely on the Big Three to kill them.

But Zhang Yu is also very aware of the weakness of the five death squads. He took advantage of the mobility of the five squads to hoard a large number of troops inside and shrink the frame. It is not so easy for the Heat to attack.

This time, the Heat suffered a failure. James' layup was interfered by Green who was helping to defend, Leonard grabbed the rebound, and the Warriors launched a counterattack.

The Heat retreated quickly, but the interspersed running of the Death Five was dazzling and disrupted the Heat's defensive formation. Clay got an open opportunity in the bottom corner, received a pass from Curry, raised the knife and dropped the three-pointer. Into the net, 69:66.

Looking back, the Heat still forcibly killed the basket. Wade caused Clay's foul and made two free throws, 67:69.

However, before the Heat fans had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the Warriors' offense followed one after another. Curry seized the opportunity of the Heat's retreat and chaos, dribbled all the way to the frontcourt, broke through to the Heat's restricted area, and attracted the cooperation of three people. Defense, give the ball to Butler on the outside.

After Butler received the ball, he continued to initiate a breakthrough, and the Heat's defense was compressed again. Butler gave the ball to Leonard who followed up at a 45-degree angle.

Leonard was unguarded around him, and he even had time to dribble to adjust his rhythm before shooting a wide-open three-pointer.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 72:67.

"Di-"

After Leonard scored, the referee blew his whistle and Spoelstra called a timeout.

Yang Yi said:

"The Warriors haven't hit the Heat's basket very much, just relying on defensive fast breaks and half-converted fast breaks, they beat the Heat 10:3. It is worthy of death!"

Zhang Weiping echoed:

"Warrior is a fast punch, slap, slap, hit the Heat by surprise, Wu Xiao is too fast, the defense shrinks quickly, and the counter push is fast. The Heat want to fight back, and the Warriors can no longer fight back. .”

At this time, in the American Airlines Center, the joy and excitement at the beginning of the third quarter were no longer there. The Heat fans became quiet and watched the field silently.

Their worries came true, and the Warriors' dead Wu Xiaoyi came on the field and immediately regained the disadvantage.

Could it be... Are the Heat going to repeat the same mistakes?

On the sidelines, Spoelstra, like the Heat fans, had a stern expression. If you look closely, you can even see a trace of sadness in his eyes.

The strong attack on the inside has not yet seen the effect, and the Heat's defensive line collapsed. Spoelstra was very angry and very helpless.

He knew how to break the defense of the fifth little death, but he still couldn't find a way to defend the fifth little death.

Zhang Yu configured a lineup of extreme space around Curry, and everyone has the ability to handle the ball. This has exceeded the Heat's defensive upper limit. No matter how the Heat defend, they are bound to leak space.

In the past few rounds just now, the Heat didn't want to miss people on the outside. Two people on the line flanked Curry, and two people on the three-point line watched Clay and Leonard, and the penalty area was penetrated; The Warriors found an opportunity on the three-point line.

In the final analysis, the Warriors still have too many people who can shoot and handle the ball, and the Heat's defensive resources are not enough, so a trade-off must be made.

But the problem now is that no matter how the Heat choose, they seem to be unable to bear the points that were "discarded".

Now, it's time for Spoelstra to make a choice.

Whether to give up the penalty area, or the three-point line, or... give up the flanking attack on Curry.

The timeout was short and the choice was difficult, but Spoelstra couldn't hesitate, he just hesitated, and quickly made his choice, but he didn't know whether this choice was right or wrong.

……

After the timeout, the two sides returned to the field and the game continued.

The Heat's offense is still to attack the inside.

Spoelstra never thought of opening the situation from the outside. The rotation speed of Wu Xiao is too fast, and it is difficult to leak space from the outside. Only when the inside is opened, the outside will have a chance.

Bosh singled Leonard, the Warriors did not pinch, Bosh turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper, 69:72.

He didn't have an advantage in front of Leonard in the confrontation, so he used his height to fight. Leonard had already stretched out his hand as much as possible, but it still didn't interfere with Bosh's shooting.

Zhang Weiping said:
"The Heat have been very good in the past few rounds. They played very reasonably and did not mess up their positions. The Warriors' five small heights are not enough, so they have to forcefully kill the inside."

Yang Yi said:

"The Heat can't catch up with offense alone. They still have to look at defense. Let's see how the Heat prepare to defend this round. If they can't defend, they won't get more points."

The Warriors attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, looking at the opponent in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

Chalmers, who has faced Curry for four and a half games, ran to the bottom corner to defend Klay, and Wade was standing in front of Curry.

Yu Jia was puzzled and said:
"Spoelstra directly asked Wade to lead the defense against Curry, so what about the subsequent rotation? Chalmers' defense ability is far worse than Wade's!"

Yang Yi was also a little puzzled:

"Let's take a look first. Spoelstra may want to increase the intensity of flanking Curry. This matchup is a bit interesting..."

On the court, Curry didn't think much, stretched out his hand, and Green offered to cover him.

Anyway, they are both pincers. There is no difference between Chalmers and Wade. He has the confidence to pass the ball.

At this time, every possession of the ball is very precious, and every round is controlled by the star, and the two sides no longer run tactics.

Green raised it, and Bosh followed suit. Curry was ready to be flanked. He bypassed Green's screen and was about to pass the ball to Green.

But what surprised him was that Bosh didn't post it. Instead, he stepped on the three-point line defense as he did at the beginning of the game, one step away from Curry. Although he opened his hands, he didn't cover his shooting space. It's just stuck in the breakthrough route.

At the same time, Wade struggled to squeeze through the screen and rushed towards Curry. His confrontation and strength were much stronger than that of Chalmers, and he squeezed the screen much faster.

But Green didn't disassemble and roll down after covering Curry as before, and responded to Curry's pass.

This time, he only screened and did not roll, and made a solid screen for Curry, slowing down Wade's speed of squeezing the screen.

Curry did not disappoint Green's screen. He and Green seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection. After seeing that Bosh was not defending, he immediately raised his hand and shot a three-pointer. He didn't take Wade's pursuit into consideration at all, as if he had already As expected, Green will definitely not go down, but block Wade behind him.

brush!
The basketball was hollow into the net, and Wade didn't expect Green to change the way he screened. He took a full step and didn't interfere with Curry's shot, 75:69.

"Curry's three-pointer! The Heat stopped attacking Curry, and Curry immediately made a three-pointer. As expected, the Heat changed their defensive strategy. Spoelstra didn't want to miss the outside line and wanted to protect the basket. Let Curry shoot super long!" Yu Jia said.

Zhang Weiping smiled and nodded:
"This defense is very good. The penalty area must be defended. If there is no gap, it will not leak. I would rather let Curry throw it like this, and I can't pinch him again, otherwise the Heat will have no way to defend."

Spoelstra thought so too.

He didn't want to give any of the basket and open space, so he could only give up the flank attack on Curry.

Spoelstra also had a vague expectation in his heart. Maybe Curry was flanked for a half court, and he made fewer three-pointers, so he felt cold?
He can't make three-pointers from far away, can he?
There is Jordan, the god of basketball, and Curry, the god of three-pointers?
In the end, Spoelstra chose the safest kind of defense.

However, back from the timeout, the Warriors' first offensive round made Spoelstra's heart sink.

Could it be...Curry is really a super long three-pointer and he can make it whenever he wants?

On the court, the Heat attacked, Bosh hit Leonard with his back, Butler shrunk to help defend, and Bosh gave the ball to Ray Allen on the outside, who caught the ball and shot.

Clay's replacement speed is already very fast, but Ray Allen's shot is very resolute, ignoring Clay's interference, and a three-pointer hits the frame, 75:72.

"Yes!" Spoelstra secretly applauded.

The Heat's inside attack worked, and the Warriors finally began to shrink. The Heat can then drive the overall offense from the inside out, which greatly reduces the pressure on Spoelstra.

Looking back, Curry and Green had a high pick-and-roll, Bosh stepped on the three-point line to defend, and Wade squeezed the screen with all his strength.

This time, Wade estimated the quality of Green's screen, and his action was firm and tough. He quickly squeezed through the screen and rushed towards Curry.

But Curry's shot was more determined. The moment he bypassed the screen, he pulled up and shot without fear of Wade's pursuit.

It is true that Wade failed to block Curry's shot, but after Curry's three-pointer, he couldn't catch up and hit Curry directly.

Snapped!
Curry was knocked directly to the ground, but his eyes were fixed on the basketball flying towards the basket. After seeing the ball hollow into the net, he looked at the referee as if he had just woken up.

The meaning is obvious, why don't you blow the whistle?My cylinder has been violated!
But the referee Foster didn't seem to see Curry's gaze, but just raised his right hand to indicate that Curry's goal was valid, without any intention of blowing the whistle.

Curry was stunned for a moment, and then felt a surge of anger from his heart. He took off his braces, raised his hands, and yelled at the referee:
"Don't you see? It's a foul! Foul!! Why don't you blow?!"

Curry's voice was loud, and Foster finally looked at Curry, but he was still indifferent, turned and ran to the frontcourt.

Wade was standing next to Curry. After he knocked down Curry, he immediately looked at Foster. Seeing that Foster didn't whistle, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but there was still a flash on his face. Ashamed.

Wade's foul this time was too obvious. Foster didn't blow it, and he was a little embarrassed himself.

But Wade is an old fritter after all, he quickly adjusted his mood and ran to the front court.

"This is a foul!!" Curry appealed to no avail, so he could only shout angrily, and retreated angrily.

And Foster may know that he was wrong, maybe he didn't hear Curry's roar, he didn't call Curry's technical foul, he just paused, but didn't look back.

When Foster passed by Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu also said angrily:

"It's a foul! Wade violated Steph's cylinder!"

Foster finally reacted. He glanced at Zhang Yu and warned:
"Sir, please pay attention to your attitude towards the referee!"

"I... I just hope that you don't miss the Heat's foul. Doesn't Stephen have a cylinder?" Zhang Yu barely suppressed the anger in his heart.

At this critical moment, he must control his emotions and not get a technical foul, which will affect the rhythm of the game and damage the morale of the team.

But this misjudgment didn't seem to be all bad, and Curry was completely irritated.

He glared at Foster, bit his braces hard, and looked away.

Since the referee doesn't blow it, then I will shoot and get back the points that should belong to me!
