NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 65 Strong Willpower
The last quarter of the game has begun.

James was not replaced, he was directly in the lineup.

Su Chen dared to come up when he saw James, so he naturally wanted to send players to continue to consume James.

But this section of James is different.

From the very beginning, James was asking for the ball off the ball.

When Barnes went up to defend James, trying to confront James to prevent James from receiving the ball, James directly hit Barnes.

Barnes was knocked away by James' forceful slam.

Taking advantage of Barnes staggering, James rushed in directly.

Jefferson was also on the court, but because Barnes was knocked away at once, Jefferson's double-team did not keep up in time.

James rushed in and it was a dunk!
boom!
He dunked so forcefully that the basket shook.

Heat 80:75 Warriors.

After James dunked, he beat his chest domineeringly, his eyes full of determination.

"Hey, he fouled with an elbow."

Su Chen roared at the referee.

Su Chen was on the sidelines, just now he saw James throwing his elbow at Barnes, which should be a foul.

But the referee ignored Su Chen at all, and even gave Su Chen a blank look.

Obviously, when the Warriors made those moves against James before, the referees saw them.

Since the level of the whistle is relatively loose, everyone is loose and cannot double standard.

Su Chen nodded. Since it was this standard, he would consider inviting James to drink Lafite.

Su Chen gestured to get Carl Landry ready to play.

Carl Landry nodded, threw the training suit on the ground, and walked to the front of the technical table.

But halfway through, Su Chen pulled Carl Landry.

"Tougher defense against James."

Su Chen nodded to Carl Landry.

Carl Landry nodded and immediately understood.

He almost got into a fight with James just now, what does it mean to be tougher, Carl Landry is realizing.

It just so happened that Thompson was rushed by James, who was on defense, and took the ball directly.

Ball goes out of bounds, Carl Landry enters.

After this offensive round is taken off, there is no time to attack, so I can only make a hasty shot, and then quickly return to defense.

The Warriors returned the ball to defense early, and the Heat did not find an opportunity to switch between offense and defense and fast break.

Seeing Carl Landry on the field, James chose to greet him toughly this time.

Carl Landry was going to hit James directly, but James kicked off the ball ahead of time, and Carl Landry was knocked to the ground.

boom!
After knocking Carl Landry to the ground, James got up and dunked directly.

beep!
Before Carl Landry was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, the referee blew his whistle.

Just now Carl Landry was called a blocking foul, so this ball, James is 2+1.

Hearing that he was blown 2+1, before waiting for his teammates to pull, Carl Landry got up and asked the referee to justify.

But the referee obviously didn't want to listen to him at all, and didn't even look at him.

Jefferson is still an old man, and he knew what the referee was going to do when he saw the referee's appearance.

If Carl Landry continues to say this, he will be blown a T for sure.

Jefferson ran over and put his body against Carl Landry to calm him down.

In the past games, Su Chen intentionally or unintentionally established Jefferson's position as the big brother in the locker room. In these games, Jefferson also set an example in many games to gain the trust of his teammates.

Seeing his big brother Jefferson stop him like this, Carl Landry also calmed down a bit, and gave up complaining to the referee.

James walked to the free throw line.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The Heat fans in the audience yelled for MVP. Obviously, James at this moment conquered the Miami fans.

James flicked his hands, then took the ball and made a free throw.

The ball goes in.

Heat 83:75 Warriors.

As soon as it came up, the point difference was stretched to 8 points.

beep!
Su Chen also raised her hand to call a timeout.

James is crazy!

This should at least interrupt James' momentum.

"This wave of James has brought the Heat into momentum, so it's hard to target."

The old assistant coach Ron Adams was very experienced. He immediately saw the situation on the court and discussed with Su Chen.

"Play Box-1 tactics."

But Su Chen just picked up the tactical board and said with a blank expression.

Box-1 tactics?

Ron Adams is of course no stranger to this tactic, after all, Popovich used the Box-1 tactic against Curry before.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen would use Box-1 tactics against James.

"Using Box-1 tactics against James, isn't it good?"

Ron Adams didn't argue with Su Chen either.

He said it from the bottom of his heart.

Of course Su Chen knew that the Box-1 tactic was not suitable for James.

Because what James is best at is to break through and score the ball. His passing vision is very wide.

When playing the Grizzlies, he can let the role players handle the ball because the Grizzlies' role players are not accurate enough to punish the Warriors.

But the Heat's shooters are luxurious.

Ray Allen, Battier, Miller, James Jones, Mario Chalmers, and Lewis who fell out of the rotation are all shooters.

Although Bosh rarely shoots three-pointers now, his mid-range is very accurate and he can also open up space.

James points to these people, and they can quickly add points.

Moreover, once James breaks through the tight defender, the box behind one probably won't work either.

Because James rushed up, it was difficult to stop.

Fouls, 2+1, points to the baseline three-pointers are all things that James can easily do.

It is useful for Curry purely because Curry is not large enough, and the passing route is easily covered. Facing a tall striker like James, it is difficult to cover his passing route.

But it's not unreasonable for Su Chen to dare to use Box-1 tactics.

"Green, you will play the role of one, but I want you to properly let him shoot three-pointers so that James will not break through."

"But it's not just a three-pointer, just put one to defend the other, disrupting his rhythm."

Su Chen arranged for Draymond Green.

Obviously, this is why Su Chen dared to use Box-1 tactics against James.

In this playoffs, James is shooting 35 percent from three.

It is not high to say high, but it is not low to say low.

Su Chen didn't arrange to shoot James before, but now James has gradually developed a three-pointer.

But this time is different.

Su Chen knew very well that James didn't rest the whole game.

It seems that James is crazy, but in fact he is only playing with strong willpower.

Brute force can still be used with willpower, but whether there is still that level of willpower on the three-pointer is a question mark.

With such high physical exertion, James can still maintain a high hit rate in the face of Green's true and false shots, which is considered to be really good for James.
