Chapter 144 Beyond the three-point line...Strong play
It stands to reason that with an 8-point difference in a single quarter, the coach who is behind should be in a hurry.

But Carlisle did not show anxiety or irritable emotions during the team break, and he was calm and calm in front of the players as usual, talking about the team's arrangement for the second quarter.

The Pacers player basically achieved his psychological expectations, and he couldn't find any obvious flaws on the defensive end.The Heat can take the lead, more because their players are in better condition, and they can still score after defending several shots to the face. There is no way.

"It's impossible for them to maintain such a high offensive efficiency all the time. Persevere and maintain fighting spirit. In this series, we are fighting for patience, especially you, Ron, you performed well just now. When you play in a while, you are still the same as the first quarter." Do everything possible to consume him, don't let him easily connect the team."

"It's still the same as I said before the game. When defending, don't focus on the ball. Watch people. Switch defenses must be timely and decisive, and you must trust your teammates."

"If you really can't prevent it, just be ruthless. We don't have outstanding talents like them, but we also have fangs, understand?"

When he said the last sentence, Carlisle cast his eyes on Artest.

Artest understood what Carlisle meant, and nodded heavily. However, although he didn't show anything on his face, the hands behind him shook twice.

In fact, in the first quarter, he had unreservedly displayed eighteen martial arts.

But after not seeing him for a season, Mo Wen not only became stronger physically, but also became more sophisticated in his game skills, and his small movements were also a level stronger than when he was a rookie.

In the past, relying on rough skin and thick flesh, even if it was a tank like Ben's... Forget about getting rid of a tank like Ben's, he would not accept anyone in the underworld.

But, who would have thought that Mo Wen would break through.

He always thought that a strong man like himself would never lose his composure because of pain, but the fact is, if he hadn't clenched his teeth tightly, he didn't know how many times he would scream.

In the past, when confronting others head-on, he could exchange injuries with his physical strength, but in front of Mo Wen, he couldn't even exchange injuries with injuries, he exchanged injuries with his life.

He really didn't understand why he still suffered on the field after learning martial arts for several months.

Could it be because he didn't wear boxing gloves?
Want to further strengthen the defense against Mo Wen?
Yes, but that's really hard work.

This desperation does not only refer to desperation to defend against Mo Wen, because Mo Wen's greatest ability in the Heat is not scoring, but organization, so this also requires him to be extremely focused and desperate when changing defenses.

The short break is over soon.

In the second quarter, the Pacers did not have any personnel adjustments, and Mourning on the Heat's side replaced O'Pang, who played the first quarter.

The defensive pressure on the inside is not so great, and the Pacers' overall defensive coordination has been strengthened a lot.

The experienced Mo Wen knows that the Pacers will definitely strengthen their defense in the second quarter.

So on the first ball after the break, he and his teammates played a V-shaped pick-and-roll evolved from the horn tactics,
This tactic is one of the commonly used tactics by the Heat. Except for Mo Wen, the remaining two players pull apart in the corner or at a fixed position 30° outside the three-point line.Ha Pang and Mourning mentioned the elbow area. Mourning first covered Mo Wen, who was being chased by Artest, and after Mo Wen passed by, he quickly ran off the ball in the direction of Ha Pang next to him or went straight down.

After Artest was delayed by the screen, he was unable to catch up and defend, and the inside line must switch defenses to make up defenses.

At this time, if Artest continues to chase and block Mo Wen, then Mourning will be empty, and if Artest chooses to chase Mourning, then Mourning can still get a chance to easily enter the inside line if he is delayed by Ha Fat's pick-and-roll.

And if Ha Pang's defender chooses to switch defenses, then Ha Pang has a chance to go directly to the basket.

It can be said that as long as this screen is successfully played, relying on Mo Wen's strong observation skills and quick passing ability, he will definitely be able to find someone who has a chance.

In this tactic, Mo Wen doesn't have to work hard to pursue a perfect breakthrough for the sake of more space. He only needs to open half of his body. After the cover of this tactic is transformed, it can be expanded into a body advantage. , or inside position.

The advantage of half body position is actually not rare.

There is one thing to say, Artest's defense is at a historical level, but he mostly interferes with the opponent's offensive actions through strength confrontation. As long as he can pass his strength confrontation, he can win half of the body. Advantage is not a big deal.

Artest's lateral movement can barely be said to be excellent, but it is definitely not top-notch, which can be seen from his offense.His style of play is similar to that of James, both of which are bulldozer style.

But this time, although the Heat's tactics came out, Mo Wen also passed the ball to Mourning who was running short, but before Mourning made a shot, Artest's defense followed.

Mourning is not a hesitant person, he wanted to seize the only time difference to force a shot, but Artest's big elbow covering his eyes stretched out in front of him faster than he thought.

Oh, this young man.

Eyelids twitched, feeling that Mourning, who was working hard on Artest, chose to respect him. He was also a hot-blooded boy when he was young, but in the current Heat team, only the Big Three have the right to be willful, other players will not In the absence of opportunities for performance, the only requirement is to be reasonable.

After holding the ball for a glance, Mourning gave the ball to Wade on the outside.

After getting the ball, Wade didn't rush to start immediately, but cruised to a high position, and waited for other players to reposition before starting to attack.

They looked at each other with Mo Wen on the side, and at the same time they started to run towards each other with a tacit understanding.

Mo Wen made a catch action in advance to attract Artest's attention.But he didn't catch the ball, but immediately set up a screen after Wade passed by him and delayed Jackson, who was following him.

Artest did not switch defenses immediately, causing Wade to successfully break into the inside lane, but after realizing his mistake, Artest also made a remedy immediately, but this time he was not chasing Wade, but toward the bottom corner Mourning rushed over.

Foster, who was defending Mourning, deliberately moved closer to the inside when he saw Wade holding the ball. After Wade completed the screen breakthrough, he left Mourning and blocked Wade's breakthrough.

Wade did not choose to rush, but subconsciously distributed the ball to Mourning who should be in the open.

But an accident happened. When he passed the ball and subconsciously turned his head to look at it, the picture in his eyes showed more black hands than he imagined.

Snapped--

In a hurry, Artest abandoned his balance and chose to steal. Before his body fell, he slammed the ball forward with great force.

bang——

Seeing the basketball flying into the stands, Carlisle, who was about to applaud Artest, shut his mouth.

More than ten seconds of wonderful offense and defense finally ended in comedy.

Immediately after seeing the ball hit the fans, the referee blew his whistle and ran to Artest's side to check #阿泰STATUS#.

After Auburn Hills, basketball, Artest, and fans can only choose two out of three.

Fortunately, Artest is really playing, and he doesn't have any higher thoughts.

After seeing Artest throw the ball out of bounds, the Heat players were relieved, and some even smiled.

But Mo Wen didn't, he was still frowning thinking about everything just now.

"Although it was a mistake in the end, Ron's performance in the defense just now was not to be challenged." Hubby Brown in the ESPN commentary room did not laugh, but praised Artest's defense just now by name.

"That's right, the Heat's tactics didn't make any mistakes this round, but the Pacers' defense was too resolute and beautiful, especially Ron, it's really hard to believe that he can play this kind of performance in the second game after his comeback. "Another Albert also affirmed from the side.

Objectively speaking, defense is always passive, but active defense may turn passive into active.

Just like in the legal sense, men cannot be victims on certain issues between men and women, but in practice it is not necessarily true.

After resuming the attack, Mo Wen's vigilance had risen by two levels.

Other Heat players may not be able to see it, but he can clearly feel that the Pacers' defense has become much stronger because of Artest's desperation.

As the founder and stepping stone of the Pistons championship, Carlisle's understanding of defense is absolutely top-notch.

[Top defensive executive] + [Top defensive coach] =?

Countless dungeon scenes flashed through Mo Wen's mind, and finally settled on those parts that Mo Wen didn't want to recall the most.

Sum it up in four words: ultimate torture.

"We may have to increase strong shots in a while, and get ready for Dwyane."

When passing by Wade, Mo Wen reminded.

Wade was a little confused, but he could still vaguely realize something after sending a bad pass just now.

Nodding, he also put on a serious face.

Fight hard.

He and Mo Wen are the only ones capable of strong play on the field, and when strong play is needed, he is the first choice for offense.

Under the guidance of Mo Wen's gesture, the Heat's formation expanded.

Seeing Mo Wen and Wade standing on both sides of the high position, Carlisle was short of breath.

This formation is the Heat's classic outside singles formation.

No, the reaction is so fast?

However, this can be regarded as their defense taking effect.

If you can't play the whole team's linkage, relying on individual singles alone, the efficiency will not be too high.

Carlisle was smiling, and he believed that the two perimeter gates would not let him down.

Da Fan, who trusted Mo Wen, was also a little strange at the moment. He could also see that the Pacers' defense had become stronger just now, but there was no need to take out the big killer so early, right?
Mo Wen dribbled the ball smoothly on the outside, and his thoughts could not be seen in his eyes without emotional fluctuations.

Artest's eyes were full of excitement, and he was happy to be able to fight 1v1 again.

In an instant, Mo Wen moved.

Just when Artest opened his arms and waited for Mo Wen to hit him hard, Mo Wen actually worshiped the Buddha and took a half-step jumper.

In front of the TV, Kidd had a long-lost smile on his face, as if he had seen a hint.

{Artest joined this group, click Welcome. }
Gou Ba's best defensive player doesn't even know [Mo Wen's First Law].

[Mo Wen's First Law] It is also called the law of half-court shooting. The specific content is: Mo Wen must defend as if he has entered the three-point line after half-court.

Back on the court, he was embarrassed by the tall Artest, Carlisle froze, and Wade was stunned while watching Mo Wen's performance and waiting to pass the ball.

Do you call this a strong beating?

Are you serious about hitting hard from beyond the three-point line?
I really believe you ghost!

Black brother spread his hands.jpg
Looking at Wade's eyes glowing like a dead fish.

Mo Wen smiled slightly, saying that you have never seen a bearded man riding an electric donkey and a migrant worker who is 2 meters high. Isn't it normal to hit hard from beyond the three-point line?
　Forget it, I live in Bengbu myself...
　　One more night
