Chapter 45 A Super Strong Opponent

Zhang Chen blocked Miller's lore for the third time, the time on the basket had become zero, and the Heat narrowly won by 1 point again. Their calling and the desolation of the Pacers formed a sharp contrast.

Miller stood on the field without moving for a long time, and he never thought that he would still be blocked.

In fact, because of the influence of absolute control, Zhang Chen didn't completely eat the opponent's fake move. He discovered the problem the moment he jumped up, and immediately retracted his body. When the opponent stepped back and shot again, he had already shot twice. take off.

This kind of thing can't be done by a player who has reached the ultimate in physical fitness, but Zhang Chen has reached this extreme under absolute control.

Unless Miller chooses to pass the ball, it is impossible for him to get rid of Zhang Chen's defense at this time.

But how could he choose to pass the ball at this time, so he was blocked at the last moment three times in a row.

This kind of ending is not just a matter of the media touting Zhang Chen. Everyone is shocked. This is not an elementary school student playing a game, but also playing like this, let alone a player at the level of Reggie Miller, even in the NBA. Just find any guy to execute the last shot, and it's impossible to be blocked for three consecutive games.

At this time, if the Heat are still playing in the playoffs, it is estimated that many teams should have received inquiries about the transaction. What a good player this is. He can decide the outcome of the game at a critical moment without the possession of the ball. It's simply out of print, good boy.

Whether it is winning by 1 point or winning by 10 points, the result is the same. Pat Riley also encouraged the players. As long as they win another game, it will be the finals. Yes, he really enjoys the feeling of transforming a team.

When the two teams were training, the outside media had already hyped up the fourth game, and the ** company also gave the odds of a block at the end of the fourth game, which was very lively.

In the playoffs without Jordan, everyone finally found something interesting.

But the fourth game did not show the picture that people imagined. Reggie Miller increased the pass, the Pacers broke out, and the role players played the best performance since the playoffs. , Beating the Heat 7:105.

There is no way to prevent this situation. When the opponent can almost get the ball, the Heat players are powerless.

After the game, there were media reports that the Heat did not do their best. They planned to save the moment of winning the Eastern Conference Championship at home. Zhang Chen can prove that this is completely nonsense. All were criticized by Pat Riley.

In the fifth game, Reggie Miller chose to trust his teammates more based on the experience of winning the last game, but it turned out that the situation in the fourth game was really unexpected. In this game, they hit the iron continuously, and the Heat always had the advantage, and finally won the fifth game with a score of 92:80.

The blocking at the last moment did not continue to appear in the game.

The first Eastern Conference championship, Miami's airport, enthusiastic fans greeted the returning Heat players like heroes.

There is really a feeling of a tsunami, this feeling is great, this is the feeling of victory, this life starts with this feeling, the NCAA championship, the NBA Eastern championship, what else lies ahead.

Zhang Chen really liked this feeling. Walking down the ladder of the plane, feeling the wind brush his cheeks, he secretly swore that he would always pursue victory.

There is no big celebration, because there is still the finals waiting for them, and the opponent is the Spurs who swept the Trail Blazers.

There are two new faces in this year's NBA Finals. No matter who wins the Larry O'Brien trophy, there will be a new overlord in the history of the NBA.

If you want to think that the strength of the San Antonio Spurs, which entered the finals for the first time, is only average, you are very wrong. Since the playoffs, the Spurs have lost one game to the Timberwolves except for a nap in the first round, and they have not lost in the following games. .

In recent years, the NBA has gradually shifted from being strong in the east to being weak in the west to being strong in the west and weak in the east. The team also only stole the championship when Jordan retired for the first time.

But it must be admitted that the East without Jordan is indeed worse than the West, and this year, when there is no Jordan, and judging from the regular season record of the teams entering the playoffs, this statement is not out of thin air made up.

How strong the Spurs are, Zhang Chen is a time traveler, of course he knows that this year's championship was originally theirs, this matter is unknown to others, but both the media and the so-called experts are almost overwhelmingly optimistic about the Spurs.

Why the outside world is so optimistic about the Spurs, a new face who always feels like the Heat, starts with their two champions.

The two No. [-] picks are David Robinson and Tim Duncan. Both of them are All-Star players as soon as they entered the NBA. They both won the best rookie by the way because they are as powerful as monster Man, other rookies don't stand a chance against players like them.

When the Spurs only had "Admiral" David Robinson, they were just regulars in the playoffs and hadn't reached the level of competing for the championship. This second-time "Dream Team" member and one of the NBA's 50 superstars, The man who scored 71 points in a single game suffered an injury in the 1996-1997 season, so the Spurs ushered in the "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan in the second year, and instantly entered the ranks of the top teams.

Last season, the Spurs fell in the Western Conference semifinals, but Duncan injured his ankle in that round, otherwise the Jazz who stood on the battlefield of the finals may not necessarily have crossed them.

This season, the Spurs rank first in the league in the regular season, and the "twin towers" of the Spurs composed of Robinson, who is still strong, and Duncan, who is stronger than last season, are really strong.

How powerful, both of them can grab more than 10 rebounds per game, and both of them can average nearly 3 blocks per game. If the Heat's restricted area is a famous no-fly zone because of Mourning's existence, the Spurs The team's penalty area is that even flies can't even think about flying in.

But these two are not defensive-oriented players, both are all-round players with both offense and defense. It can be said that the strongest inside line in the league is the Spurs' "Twin Towers" combination.

What is the strongest Heat team, and why they won the game until now, don't look at Zhang Chen's limelight, the most important player for the Heat team to win is Mourning, whether it is offense or defense, he is the absolute core of the Heat team, All the way to the finals, no team's insiders can beat him.

Even when changing formations to play point forward tactics, it is because of Mourning that they can succeed. Otherwise, the opponent would have already unscrupulously flanked the forward who has obtained the ball. The reason why they dare not is because of Mourning's restraint at the basket , otherwise the ball will pass into the paint and dunk properly.

However, this situation will not be repeated in the finals. For the first time, the Heat's inside advantage has become a disadvantage. Compared with defense, Mourning is facing the "Twin Towers", which is not fair at all, because P -J-Brown is not a player of the same level at all, and the Heat's inside defense is worse.

Compared with offense, Mourning can be regarded as a good offensive insider, but whether it is Robinson or Duncan, their offensive skills are more comprehensive than him.

When a team's strongest points are completely inferior to the opponent's, you will understand why the public opinion thinks that the Spurs will win.

In other positions, the Spurs' players are not weak. The key is that the main players of the Spurs performed better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

The "little general" Avery Johnson at the 1st position played much better than Tim Hardaway, who almost lost his way into the playoffs. The former All-Star Sean Elliott at the 3rd position After the game, he also rejuvenated a bit. Jamal Mashburn’s unstable state may not be able to fight. The only absolute strength of the Heat may be Zhang Chen. His opponent Mario Leigh is the weakest part of the Spurs. Although he can contribute nearly 10 points per game, his strength is not as good as his special experience of "kiss of death". Cole's threat is not very great, and he has to guard against it.

But do the Heat want to change their offensive tactics of focusing on the inside? Pat Riley is also a headache.

There are two ways to beat the Spurs in theory. One is not to play inside with you, but the Heat are not good at using outside tactics.

The other is to directly defeat the Twin Towers with a powerful inside attack, which is even more difficult. Now who is the strongest inside offensive in the league, of course, is the fat "big shark" O'Neal of the Lakers. Unfortunately, he has been directly blown by the "Twin Towers" Went fishing and was sweeping.

Therefore, the Heat are not sure how to deal with the Spurs.

Before the game, Pat Riley said in front of reporters that he fully believes that Mourning is not afraid of the "Twin Towers" and that the Heat will insist on playing inside. Don't tell him that the Lakers were swept. Mourning is a team this year, but O'Neal is not.

In fact, that is to say, even he himself does not believe in such a thing. In the training of the Heat, there are obviously many drills of outside tactics, including the real ball forward tactics, that is, the forward players directly hold the ball on the outside. style of play.

Of course, Zhang Chen, the team’s key player in the playoffs, was also asked by reporters about the finals. Zhang Chen faced the camera and said loudly: “Don’t talk to me about who is strong and who is weak. Basketball games are not based on data comparison. It’s not about talk, it’s about hard work on the court, no matter who the opponent is, I will only do one thing, that is to win, no matter how strong the opponent is, I will definitely win.”
