Chapter 239
As soon as Big Z received the ball, the Heat's two strikers Odom and Butler leaned over.

Double team!

This sudden attack made Big Z a little unprepared, and he almost made a mistake and was robbed of the ball by his opponent.

But after all, Big Z is a veteran who has been around for many years, and he hugged the ball desperately to avoid being robbed.

Everyone was shocked, did the Heat change their defensive strategy and attack Big Z?
I still remember the close-up before the start of the second quarter, Riley pulled Odom to talk to Butler.

Now to the flanking, many people realize that the flanking is Riley's idea.

"The Heat started to make changes, but I don't think it's a smart move."

"Where is it not clever, it is simply stupid!"

However, the two on-site commentators did not approve of this trick at all.

And most fans think so too.

The inside-to-outside tactic is to use the advantage of the inside line to create opportunities for the outside line.

This double-team is tantamount to sending the opportunity to the Cavaliers.

Sure enough, after Big Z reacted, he immediately made a choice.

Taking advantage of his super height, Big Z can see the whole field clearly at a glance, find teammates who have a chance, and immediately pass the ball.

The Heat make up the defense, and the Cavaliers pass again; the Heat make up again, and the Cavaliers pass again...

With the passing of the ball, this loophole is getting bigger and bigger. After all, it is impossible for a person to run faster than the ball.

In the end, the ball was in the hands of Ye Feng who was completely open.

Wade, who was in charge of defending Ye Feng, was 2 meters away from Ye Feng at this moment, and he couldn't get back at all.

Ye Feng raised his hands high, flicked his wrist easily, and easily flicked the ball away.

Swish!
Hollow three-pointer, 28:20.

Odom narrowed the point difference with a mid-range shot, but Ye Feng made the point difference even bigger with a three-pointer.

Just this round fully proved that the tactic of double-teaming the big Z is absolutely unworkable, and it can even be said to be a dead end.

However, the Heat have always insisted on this tactic, and the double-teaming has become more and more decisive, and they have started to press at every turn.

As the point difference got bigger and bigger, the players on the Heat field began to doubt Riley's tactics and relaxed their attitude.

At this time, Riley would yell or call a timeout from the sidelines, letting the Heat players continue to stick to this tactic.

This scene looks weird.

"I always feel that Riley is not trying to win, but to consume Big Z."

"What's the point of this? Double-teaming the big center just ran into the Cavaliers' tactical intentions. Isn't this why you know there is a hole in front of you and you still step into it?"

No one knew what Riley was up to.

Many people dare not question Riley. After all, Riley is also a legendary coach, and his reputation as a fortune teller makes every opponent dare not underestimate him.

But there are always people who are bold, "Riley is old, I'm afraid he has lost his head." Someone questioned Riley like this.

But in any case, because of tactical problems, the game started to be one-sided.

Until the last minute, the Cavaliers were still suppressing the Heat.

109:87, the Cavaliers won by 22 points, which can be said to be a big victory, or a big away victory.

It was a great boost to morale.

其中大Z今晚打了38分钟,23分9篮板5助攻3盖帽,毫无疑问地本场MVP。

On the contrary, James has never adapted to tonight's tactics and only scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

另外,叶风21分4篮板3助攻,威廉姆斯13分7篮板,布泽尔16分15篮板,卡波诺11分……

Five players in double figures.

For the Heat, Odom performed the best, with a quasi triple-double of 19 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

艾迪·琼斯18分4篮板3助攻,巴特勒17分5篮板,哈斯勒姆9分11篮板,韦德只有7分3助攻。

After the game, the Cavaliers received great praise from various media.

"No.4 in the East is well-deserved. They are already a strong team. Don't look down on them just because they are young. Everything is possible at the age of 20."

--"Washington post"

"Although the Heat rank above the Cavaliers because of the impact of the playoff system and the small division, they still have home court advantage. But the Cavaliers are obviously stronger, and they are likely to sweep the Heat."

--"Cleveland Candide"

"The first experience of the Chinese rookie in the playoffs is to reach the peak. The No. 8 pick James has 5 points, and the No. 7 pick Wade has 21 points. The sum is not as good as Ye Feng's [-] points. The strongest undrafted player in NBA history!"

——"Slam Dunk" (China Edition)
……

On the contrary, some people are happy and some are worried, and James and Wade have been questioned.

"No matter how good the performance in the regular season is, it is not as important as the playoffs. After all, the playoffs are the real stage. James and Wade are disappointing. Their performance is not even as good as a draft pick."

—— "FOX"

Although it's unfair to deny others based on just one game, the media is like this, they don't care whether they are right or not, they just want to gain attention and cause a war of words.

And worse than Wade and James is the "magic operator" Pat Riley.

Riley was pushed to the forefront because of the close-up telling Odom and Butler.

Many people think that the Heat lost because of Riley's poor decision-making.

"The fortune teller is gone, leaving only an old man with white hair."

—— "ESPN Special Commentary"

This is even more euphemistic.

"Looking at Riley's coaching career, although he is brilliant, it cannot be regarded as his ability. In the showtime era of the Lakers, there were Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In the era of the Knicks, there was Ewing the gorilla. What is Riley? , just follow the superstar's ass to pick up honor."

-- "Boston Observer"

Such an article is merciless, and it is simply a denial of Riley's life.

Of course, those who say such things are generally small media who want to attract people's attention, and no big media has done so.

When Ye Feng saw the news, he guessed that Riley's situation must be not very good, and he must be in a bad mood.

……

At the same time, the other three games tonight have also come to an end.

First of all, the Timberwolves play the Nuggets. Of course, there is no suspense in this game.

The three-headed monster composed of Garnett, Cassel, and Sprewell is at the championship level. Garnett even won 6 of the 4 Western Conference Players of the Month, and is likely to win the regular season MVP of this season. .

What are the Nuggets?
Rookie Anthony, false core Andre Miller, Camby who can only defend, second-year Nene...

加内特30分20篮板4助攻1抢断2盖帽,卡塞尔40分3篮板3助攻,两人拿下超级数据,锤爆掘金从内到外。

The Nuggets, no one even scored 20...

106: 92.

There is almost no suspense in this set of duels. A 4:0 sweep is just around the corner.

……

Then the Mavericks beat the Kings.

This game may be the most watched matchup of the first round.

On one side is the Kings, the most gorgeous team in this era, the team with the best style of play, team offense and Princeton tactics have been played to the extreme by them.

On the other side is the Mavericks, the five All-Stars, Nash on the court to connect the team, and the "scientist" Don Nelson on the sidelines to command the team, and he will not lose the wind in the slightest.

Winning or losing the game is hard to predict, but one thing is clear.

This game must be an offensive battle, not the usual defensive battle of this era.
