Chapter 503
"Erwin, the Pacers completely suppressed the Heat just after the game started!" Just a few minutes after the game started, Michaels asked his partner Magician in disbelief when he saw the current situation on the field. Johnson, originally expected before the game that this game should be a close game, but now there is a one-sided situation!

"Yes, the Heat were suppressed by the Pacers. Shaq looks a bit helpless now. Stan Van Gundy needs to call a timeout to adjust." Not only Michaels, but even Magic Johnson saw the opening few minutes. In minutes, after the performance of the two teams, it was a little unbelievable. Like the Pacers, the Heat had achieved a complete victory record in the previous games. Even in today's game, countless people are looking forward to it. The Heat ended the Pacers' winning streak at home, but the performance of the Heat and the Pacers on the court is obviously a bit unexpected.

After Meng Xu blocked O'Neal and Haslem consecutively in the first round after the opening game, the Pacers completely controlled the situation on the field. Even on the offensive end, it seemed extremely difficult. Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo launched crazy double-teams on O'Neal, and Meng Xu also rushed over to help defend from time to time. , O'Neal failed to score in the three offenses after the opening. With O'Neal facing the Pacers' crazy double-teaming, the performance of several other Heat players on the field was also very unsatisfactory.In addition to picking up an offensive rebound after the opening game and trying to complete the second attack, but was blocked by Meng Xu, the Heat's power forward Haslem was completely invisible in the following games under the defense of James Posey. , and Eddie Jones, under Reggie Miller's defense, has never been able to get rid of Reggie Miller's entanglement. As for Dwyane Wade, under Meng Xu's key care, he basically has no chance to perform. The most tragic thing is undoubtedly Damon Jones. In the case of being basically emptied by the Pacers, Damon Jones only hit 4 goal in 1 shots, and even made two three-pointers.

"It seems that we still have a long way to go!" Just as Michaels and Magic Johnson were discussing the performance of the Pacers and the Heat, Rick Carlisle, who was sitting on the bench, shook his head slightly , although the Pacers suppressed the Heat from the beginning, Rick Carlisle was still a little dissatisfied with the team's performance on the field. This dissatisfaction came from the Pacers' defensive end. After taking over the Pacers, Rick Carlisle A new defensive system was formulated for the Pacers, that is, 2-3 zone defense. However, it has been a month since the start of the new season, and the Pacers' defensive system has not yet taken shape. These players on the field played "too casually" on the defensive end "Well, taking this game as an example, the Pacers' position on the defensive end is indeed in accordance with the 2-3 zone defense, but in the process of defense, they involuntarily become man-to-man. Defensive, and because Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal have a huge defensive range and a strong sense of defense, Jermaine O'Neal, who should have been on the left side of the basket and cooperated with Mutombo, often Pull to the 45-degree angle of the left three-point line, or even near the free throw line to help defend, and Meng Xu often helps defend to the basket.Therefore, although in the first few minutes after the opening, the Pacers' defense can be described as impenetrable, but Rick Carlisle is still a little dissatisfied, because his tactical intentions are not reflected on the court at all.

"Rick, the new season has just started, and we still have enough time to adapt and run in." After hearing Rick Carlisle's voice, Lester Conor instantly knew what Rick Carlisle was worried about Yes, but for Rick Carlisle's worries, Lester Conor has some different thoughts in his heart, and Lester Conor, who can't hide things in his heart, went on to say: "And , and I don't think there's anything wrong with the defensive strategy we've got in front of us."

"Lester, that's not what I'm worried about." If Rick Carlisle is a nanny coach, then Rick Carlisle is completely satisfied with the Pacers' current performance on the court, but Rick Carlisle is A very ambitious coach, otherwise Rick Carlisle would not come to pick up Larry Bird's stall. As an ambitious head coach, Rick Carlisle naturally hopes that the Pacers he coaches can surpass his own Big brother, so Rick Carlisle needs to transform the Pacers and let the team play according to its own tactical philosophy. Only in this way can Rick Carlisle truly control the team, otherwise even if the Pacers To win the championship again, this team still belongs to Larry Bird in its bones, and it is impossible to talk about surpassing Larry Bird. As for the zone defense tactics, it is only the beginning of Rick Carlisle's transformation of the Pacers.

After listening to Rick Carlisle's words, Lester Conor did not continue to say anything, but got up and left the bench, picked up a few towels and walked to the sidelines, just before Lester Conor and During the time Rick Carlisle was talking about, Heat coach Stan Van Gundy called the first timeout of the game.Although Lester Conor's level is not as good as Rick Carlisle's, but in terms of insight into people's hearts, Lester Conor still has a little bit of means. For Rick Carlisle's ambition, Lester Conor Hall can also fully understand, this is exactly what Lester Conor thinks Rick Carlisle is better than himself. If Larry Bird handed over the team to Lester Conor, Lester- Conor will definitely stick to the rules and continue to follow Larry Bird's coaching ideas, but Lester Conor also knows that in this way, it will be difficult for the Pacers to obtain Larry Bird in their own hands. Brilliant, after all, he is far from Larry Bird's coaching talent and skills, but Rick Carlisle is different. If Ke Carlisle's approach was changed to Lester Conor, it would be impossible to do it anyway.

"Guys, you performed very well in the previous games, but I still emphasize one point, that is, your defensive positions. We have rehearsed countless times in normal training. Why did you get on the court? , you will have all kinds of problems Reggie, James, don’t keep running with one person, it will destroy our overall position, and Jermaine and Meng, it’s good to defend teammates, but you absolutely You can't leave your respective defensive areas for a long time, because it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of it."

Listening to Rick Carlisle's gradually high-pitched voice, Meng Xu nodded expressionlessly, James Posey stared at Rick Carlisle without any expression, and Jermaine O'Neal curled his lips, Obviously, Rick Carlisle is still some distance away from subduing the proud Pacers and truly mastering this team.

"Understood!" Seeing the embarrassed expressions on the faces of Rick Carlisle and Lester Conor behind him, Meng Xu took the lead in shouting. After Meng Xu spoke, James Posey, Jayme Yin-O'Neal and others also followed suit. For these players, Rick Carlisle's face can not be given, but Meng Xu's face must be given. Who makes Meng Xu the boss?

"Well, let's go next..." After the awkward atmosphere eased, Rick Carlisle took out the tactical board, called all the starting players to his side, and began to explain the next tactics.

"Teacher, it seems that we are still far from the strongest team in the league." In a box in the American Airlines Arena, an Asian face holding a notebook and writing on it put down his hand After holding the pen, he said to Pat Riley, who was smoking a cigar with a back hair and a cigar.Originally, after the Heat won 14 consecutive victories, the Heat executives, including Eric Spoelstra, began to think that the Heat already had the strength to win the championship, but through today's match against the Pacers, they found that, The current strength of the Heat is still far behind the Pacers, especially the Heat's outside line, which is completely suppressed by the Pacers. After the outside line is suppressed, even if the Heat have a big killer like O'Neal, Completely unable to function as it should.

"Yeah, although we have Shaq, our outside strength is still too weak. I hope Dwyane can grow up as soon as possible and become the most powerful assistant around Shaq." After putting down the cigar and exhaling a smoke ring, Pat Riley said leisurely.Watching Meng Xu dribbling forward on the court, Pat Riley remembered the summer two years ago, when Meng Xu's contract with the Spurs ended, Pat Riley immediately contacted Meng Xu's agent People, I hope to bring Meng Xu to Miami and form a super combination of one inside and one outside with Mourning, but facing the conditions offered by Meng Xu's agent, Pat Riley backed down and let Mourning, who is at the peak, Be Meng Xu's younger brother!How is it possible, and it is for that reason that the Heat withdrew from the competition for Meng Xu, but that decision has made Pat Riley regret it to this day. The wrong trade choice, Mourning's kidney disease, made the Heat slip from the contender for the Eastern Conference championship. To the lottery area, and after the Pacers got Meng Xu, they won two championships in two years. Every time Pat Riley thinks about it, he feels like he has missed hundreds of millions.
