NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 64 Falling into the Warriors
"Let me go."

James resisted the sense of rest caused by physical exertion and stood up from the bench.

Eric Spoelstra thought for a moment, then nodded.

Eric Spoelstra can also see that Su Chen is going to hit James up, and James will use his full strength as soon as he goes down.

The Warriors' five small lineups were restrained by the Heat's small lineup.

But there is a prerequisite for this.

That is what James needs to be in this five-small lineup.

If it's just a backcourt composed of Wade and Chalmers, Ray Allen or Battier will bring a 3D, and Bosh will play center.

Such a small lineup really can't beat the Warriors' five small lineups.

That being the case, Eric Spoelstra also decided to simply let James lead a small lineup and quickly destroy the Warriors small lineup.

But Eric Spoelstra didn't notice that Su Chen was secretly staring at him just now, not knowing what he was looking at.

Of course, Su Chen activated [Eagle Eye] at this moment.

I showed Eric Spoelstra's lineup adjustments, as well as his offensive and defensive strategies.

Ron Adams spoke for Su Chen first, and Su Chen came over halfway through to arrange a new defensive strategy.

Ron Adams is used to this, and so are the players.

Although I don't know the significance of Su Chen's doing so.

But every time after such a timeout round, the effect is not bad, so no one thinks much about it.

Instead, for Ron Adams.

Every time Su Chen asked him to set up half of the first, and then he set up again, the team usually had a wave of advantages.

In this way, Ron Adams will feel more at ease when he hears that Su Chen is going to make such an arrangement.

It's like a conditioned reflex.

Soon the two sides played again.

When Erik Spoelstra saw the Warriors lineup, he clenched his fists.

Because he saw Carl Landry get on.

Carl Landry has no tactical position on the offensive end. He is basically responsible for running screen pick-and-rolls or cutting inside when he has the opportunity.

The effect of going to Carl Landry is not as good as going to David Lee.

But David Lee can't beat James, Carl Landry can.

So as soon as he saw Carl Landry play, Eric Spoelstra knew that this was Su Chen's prediction that he would play James, so he played Carl Landry to attack James.

James saw Carl Landry on the court was also sick for a while.

These guys don't have very high wages, and they don't have much means to attack, but they just have strength.

Not only did Landry and Green have to fight him physically, but their subordinates also made small movements, and at the same time, their words were dirty and broken.

The two of them didn't do anything, they just provocatively waited for James to do it, and if James did it, they would hit their hands.

They can't wait to have a conflict with James for a one-for-one exchange.

Even if they change one for Green, it is very profitable for the Warriors.

But James knows that he can't miss this game, so even if these two treat him like this, he can only bear it for a while.

Su Chen saw through Eric Spoelstra's arrangement through [Eagle Eye], so both offensive and defensive ends were targeted.

Not only did the Heat's small lineup not play out, but because of the weak defense on the inside, they were sent to the inside with pass-cut tactics.

At the same time, James was exhausted by Carl Landry.

You can see Carl Landry's hand, whether James has the ball or not, is on James.

This level of irritability once reminded James of the game against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the man named Stevens who blew on him.

The match between the two sides once again entered a tug-of-war.

The kind that no one can get rid of.

The Warriors were still playing a whirlwind before the timeout, and after the timeout, they dragged the Heat into a slow positional battle.

Erik Spoelstra was sweating coldly, but he didn't dare to wipe the sweat in front of the camera, and he couldn't be caught by the players doing it.

What's more, he was spotted by Su Chen on the other side doing this action.

Erik Spoelstra felt caught in a situation Su Chen had set up, even though he had thought of many ways to get out of it.

But every time he wanted to climb out, he was grabbed by Su Chen again.

The Heat did not hit their familiar rhythm.

The Heat's favorite small lineup did not play out at a fast pace, and the double pick-and-roll tactics they are good at, the diagonal pick-and-roll tactics, and James' 1-3 pick-and-roll tactics did not play out.

Instead, he is playing a triangle offense that is not played often.

This triangle offense is to deal with the current situation. With James' restraint, it will create offensive opportunities for Bosh and Wade.

But they played too little, and the cooperation between the Big Three was obviously not very proficient, and there were mistakes in cooperation or slow passing, which led to the loss of offensive opportunities.

Many of the Heat's current scores are actually obtained by relying on the personal abilities of Wade and Bosh.

beep!
The third quarter is over.

Heat 78:75 Warriors.

The score between the two sides has not been opened. Although the Heat have a three-point lead, the lead that can be wiped out in this round means nothing.

At this time, the Heat players also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Originally, they could maintain the lead all the time, but when the opponent pinched James, Wade and Bosh both stood up.

But after all three quarters were played, the score never opened up.

Although the other party also has particularly tired people, James' physical strength is consumed too much by the other party at this time.

Although James didn't play the whole game today, he still couldn't do without much.

James only rested for more than three minutes in the first half, and did not rest for a while in the third quarter, and was played again.

And basically there is no chance to rest on the court. Even if James stands without the ball, he will always be confronted by the Warriors defending James.

Obviously the Heat are the team leading the score, but judging from the team atmosphere off the court, they are more like the team behind.

Eric Spoelstra held the tactical board and was still working hard to explain the tactics.

But although the Heat's players seem to be listening with their heads down, they don't know how much they have listened to.

"Guys, we're still in the lead, forgot what you said before the game?"

Erik Spoelstra clapped his hands when he saw this.

He knows that this time is to mobilize the atmosphere of the team, so he will not talk about tactics for the time being.

"That's right, we're going to win this game and defend our own home court."

James also stood up at this time.

Although he was exhausted, he was still eager to win and encouraged his teammates.

Seeing that even James, who is the most exhausted, has set an example, the others have no reason to continue to be depressed, so they also stood up one after another.

James stretched out his fist, and the others gathered their fists together in the middle.
