Legendary star

Chapter 841

"It seems that the Spurs are going to focus on the inside today. After the opening, the Spurs were completed by Tim Duncan and Thiago Splitter. Very targeted, but this arrangement can't give full play to their perimeter strength."

"El, I know what you want to say, but I think Popovich's arrangement is very shrewd. The inside line is the strength of the Spurs and the weakness of the Heat. Use your own strength to attack the opponent's strength. Shortcomings are a very normal and correct thing, and Popovich's arrangement can also bring out Meng Xu's strength. Meng Xu is not a player who can only score. His defense, he The support of the Spurs is an indispensable thing for the Spurs. On the contrary, for the Heat, after the Spurs firmly play inside, they should consider how to deal with this change of the Spurs."

After the start of the Heat's home game against the Spurs, the Heat still followed their established tactics. Basically, James rushed past Wade, Wade finished James, and other players, including Chris Bosh, were all around. The surroundings of James and Wade, either run to support, or wait for James and Wade to score the ball. Compared with the Heat's tactic that mainly relies on breakthroughs and shooting, the Spurs are completely another tactic, regardless of the Spurs' outside How to pass, in the end, Tim Duncan or Thiago Splitter under the basket will make the final decision, because compared to the Heat who only played Chris Bosh as a pure insider, the Spurs have a real advantage inside. It's too big. In this case, if Popovich doesn't grab the Heat's shortcomings and chase after him, then he won't be Popovich.

Similar to what Magic Johnson said to Michaels just now, Eric Spoelstra standing on the sidelines is indeed very anxious now. The Spurs are attacking the inside, and Chris Bosh can't stand it alone. It is undoubtedly the most unwise choice to let LeBron James, who plays the fourth position, go to the basket and Duncan and others to fight hand-to-hand. If Duncan or Thiago Splitter fights hand-to-hand, then James can't take advantage of it at all.

However, Eric Spoelstra is also very hesitant to adjust the tactics on the field and strengthen the Heat's inside defense, because no matter how the Heat strengthen the inside, their inside strength cannot be compared with the Spurs. Eric Spoelstra is also a little worried. Once the Heat strengthen their defense on the inside, will the Spurs transfer the ball and offense to the outside? If so, the Heat will be led by the nose by the Spurs Now, as for double-teaming Duncan, it's not in Eric Spoelstra's consideration. If Duncan is double-teamed, what should Meng Xu do?What's more, in addition to Duncan and Meng Xu, Spurs guard Tony Parker also has the ability to average 20 points per game.

Erik Spoelstra called a long timeout despite some hesitation about how to adjust.

"Meng, after the timeout, the Heat are likely to strengthen their defense against Tim, either by using a full-court press or a half-court press in advance, so after the timeout, you can strengthen your personal offense." Adaptability, Eric Spoelstra is obviously not as good as Popovich, so after the timeout, when Eric Spoelstra was still hesitating how to change, Popovich Qi has already made a countermeasure in advance. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Heat's scope of change is too small. If they want to cool down Duncan, the Heat can only use a few methods.

"Well." After taking the water glass handed over by the assistant coach and drinking it, Meng Xu nodded at Popovich. Meng Xu believed in Popovich's ability very much, and after his comeback, Meng Xu , I don’t care much about statistics, so basically it’s how Popovich arranges and Meng Xu plays.

After arranging the arrangements for Meng Xu, Popovich pulled several other players who were about to play and made arrangements one by one before returning to his seat.

"FVCK, is this guy a roundworm in my stomach?" After the Heat's offensive round ended, Eric Spoelstra had a hunch when he saw the Spurs' offensive position. Duncan was transferred to Meng Xu, and when Eric Spoelstra's premonition became a reality, Eric Spoelstra turned his head and looked at the bench sitting next to him. Popovich, who was chatting with Manu Ginobili, cursed in his heart. Eric Spoelstra thought twice before making a decision to strengthen the inside defense and trade Udonis Haslem for Under Battier's decision, but after the Heat strengthened the inside defense, the Spurs' offensive focus has shifted from the inside to the outside.

Unlike Eric Spoelstra, who was full of anxiety, the audience at the American Airlines Arena was extremely excited at the moment, because when Meng Xu held the ball on the outside, it was LeBron James who was defending him at the moment , This is today's game. James defended Meng Xu one-on-one for the first time, and it was also Meng Xu's first attack with the ball. Meng Xu played against James. The former No.1 VS the current No.1. This is countless fans Both the audience and the audience dreamed of something they liked, so when Meng Xu appeared in front of James with the ball, there was a burst of loud cheers in the American Airlines Arena.

"Come on!" Amidst the cheers of the audience, James bent his body slightly and looked at Meng Xu who was facing him slapping the basketball with concentration. Although in the regular season of this season, even Meng Xu hadn't When he retired, James had played against Meng Xu many times, but in the playoffs, James had never defeated Meng Xu, so after Meng Xu came back, James was waiting for this day, waiting Then he joined Meng Xu in the finals and defeated him in the finals.

As the core of the Heat's offense, James seldom does his best on the defensive end because he doesn't have that much energy and physical strength. But in today's game, after James faced Meng Xu, James He is going to spend 120 points of energy to defend Meng Xu, not only James, but Meng Xu, who is holding the ball, is also very focused at this moment, because Meng Xu smells danger from James, and Meng Xu I also know what kind of existence James will be on the defensive end when he gets serious.

After quickly taking a big step towards the left side of his body, but was blocked by James, Meng Xu took advantage of the opportunity to change his face frame into a back basket, leaning sideways on James, and then Meng Xu began to lower his body's center of gravity, ready to turn his back to break through To get rid of James' defense.

After the center of gravity of the body was lowered to a suitable position, Meng Xu began to twist his body from side to side. First, he lowered his shoulders to the left side, slapped the basketball and pushed it backwards. He turned sideways, but James behind Meng Xu was unmoved. He just stretched out his arm to block it symbolically, and then watched Meng Xu complete his turn and slipped past the right side of his body.

James, whose mind was full of the defense just now, turned around in a hurry, and found that Meng Xu had already thrown himself away, then lowered his body and changed direction, easily swayed past Bosh and scored a layup.

First make a fake turn to one side, then turn to the other side, pull the body back halfway through the turn, and turn in the original direction. This is Meng Xu's most common way of turning his back, although All defensive players know Meng Xu's routine, but there will be many defensive players who will be confused by Meng Xu after Meng Xu's series of fake moves.

James, who was concentrating on defending this time, didn't take Meng Xu's fake action at all. He just stretched out his arm to block it, and didn't move at all. However, James was still waiting for Meng Xu to pull his body back to the original When turning around in the direction, Meng Xu turned his fake action into a real turn, took the opportunity to complete a back turn, and got rid of James' defense.

James, who stopped after Meng Xu made a successful layup, looked at Meng Xu's back, biting his lips tightly with his teeth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and entanglement.
