Chapter 78
Although the Bucks are a team with extremely fierce outside firepower, unlike the Suns, the entire team shoots outside. They still have two blue-collar workers inside, with a clear division of labor.

Scott Williams at the fourth position and Irvin Johnson at the fifth position are full-time defense and rebounding, so the Heat only need to play the regular lineup.

Before the players officially appeared on the field, the fans were already cheering loudly. Many people held up slogans such as "Win the championship" and "Successfully defended the title" and sang and danced.

"Gentlemen, show your tough side, win the game, and the Heat will win."

"The Heat will win!"

After trotting into the stadium, Zhang Chen felt the cheers of the fans to his heart's content. Their enthusiasm always gave him unlimited motivation and made him eager to win the game.

As an All-Star teammate, Zhang Chen went over to say hello to Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson.

He is the kind who doesn't give an inch on the court, likes to talk trash, and is a bit crazy in front of the media, but he belongs to the quieter and more polite type off the court. With this personality, he has almost no close friends. , but people who have been with him for a long time like him more.

Ray Allen looked serious as always, but Glenn Robinson, who had once sprayed each other on the court, chatted with him with a big grin.

The game started with Mourning's jump ball victory. In the East, his success rate as the first center center jump ball is also very high.

Hardaway dribbled the ball and handed it to Zhang Chen after halftime, and experienced another injury. Hardaway has fully accepted his current position in the Heat. He can speak in the locker room, but in terms of team tactics It's just a very ordinary No. [-] position, without any special tactics, mainly responsible for delivering shells to Zhang Chen, Mourning and Mashburn.

After Zhang Chen received the ball, Ray Allen quickly posted it. Many outside teams are not very good at focusing on offense and defense, but the Bucks are not the kind of team that does not pay attention to defense. Their head coach George Karl also I highly recommend tough defense, otherwise the Bucks would not prefer to use two coolie insiders, rather than get an insider who can shoot three-pointers to increase firepower like other outside teams.

Therefore, for the Heat to score points from the outside like Zhang Chen, they are strictly guarding and defending Mourning on the inside. But whether they can defend or not is another matter.

Zhang Chen made a breakthrough posture, but passed the ball to Mourning with a single hit. Mourning caught the ball and dribbled it before the opponent came to pinch and hit the first ball with a half-hook, which attracted loud cheers from the fans.

When it was the Bucks' turn to attack, Cassel dribbled the ball twice and handed it to Ray Allen. At this time, they hadn't passed halftime, which was a surprise to the Heat. After all, Cassel was not that A guard with a low sense of presence, he is the controller of the ball in the Bucks.

Zhang Chen originally planned to mark Ray Allen as soon as halftime passed, but now that the opponent dribbles over, he definitely can't post it directly. He can only post it when the opponent is near the three-point line.

Ray Allen has the ability to catch and shoot, but it doesn't mean that he can only do this trick. He is also very capable of playing with the ball. Now the Bucks obviously let him play with the ball.

When there was still one step away from the three-point line, Ray Allen made a three-pointer without warning.

Zhang Chen really didn't expect him to do this. After all, the game has just started, and it's not the time to chase points. Generally, few people shoot like this in the first offense, but Ray Allen shot decisively, and he also It made a hit, which seems to show that his three-pointers in the game are much better than the three-pointers in the shooting contest.

Ruthless enough, Zhang Chen ran towards the opponent's half, waited until Hardaway dribbled the ball, suddenly started running to the front three-point position, and made a shooting motion after catching the ball.

Ray Allen jumped up high, but Zhang Chen smiled slightly, and rushed over with a sinking body.

It's just a feint. Normally, he would not be obsessed with finding the field in the same way. Seeing him rushing in, the Bucks' inside line immediately came to defend, Zhang Chen threw the ball to the basket, Mourning picked He grabbed the ball and smashed it into the basket.

Ray Allen's face was not very ugly, and he was easily shaken up, which was not his style.

This time the opponent attacked, when Ray Allen dribbled the ball to their half court, Zhang Chen pasted it when the opponent was still two steps away from the three-point line. Nothing to say.

Ray Allen can pass and shoot with the ball, but the most threatening thing is his shooting.

It should be said that compared with his physical fitness, his speed has not reached the extreme, which may be related to his playing habits. He is more of an emergency stop jumper, rather than rushing in regardless. In this case, he will always keep half a point Even if he gets closer, Zhang Chen is not afraid of being passed by in an instant.

Changing direction to the side to accelerate, Zhang Chen stretched out his arms and followed closely.

Ray Allen made an emergency stop to make a shot, and Zhang Chen adjusted his body in an instant, jumping up in front of him. His body coordination ability has always been his strong point.

Fake, Ray Allen's shot is also a fake.

Zhang Chen didn't panic, he didn't let go of his raised arms, and firmly blocked the opponent's shooting route, and even if the opponent wanted to hit the time difference, he was not very afraid, because he had the ability to take off continuously, and the bullet speed would be faster than the thunder. - Allen is faster.

Seeing that the expected effect was not achieved, Ray Allen passed a pass to Cassell who cut in.

Hardaway had a little difficulty defending Kassel, and Kassel made a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

This is where the Bucks are so good. They have three outside players who can defend and attack. It is difficult for an ordinary team to have three such good outside defenders to deal with them at the same time. Therefore, some of them will always appear Chance.

For example, now that Hardaway is facing Kassel, he will suffer from height and movement.

As for Mashburn, he and Glenn Robinson should be able to blast each other, but they are in the same situation, waiting for someone to feed the ball, and neither team will give them the privilege to play with the ball on the perimeter.

When the Heat attacked, the ball came to Zhang Chen. He was the first choice to initiate the offense, and Mourning was the first choice to end the offense. The two of them were not worried about not having the ball in their hands.

It was passed to Mourning again. This time the Bucks' attack was extremely fast, but after Zhang Chen passed the ball, he also ran back and rushed in. Mourning threw the ball in time, and Zhang Chen jumped up to catch the ball. Alley-oop.

With two alley-oops, the atmosphere at the scene was about to explode from the very beginning.

This is the Heat's offensive tactics, showing the determination to go in. Facing the outside team, the general situation is to shoot from the outside, so that the opponent does not dare to shrink the defense too much. Today, the Heat did the opposite and attacked the inside. Forcing the opponent to shrink further.

This is also to show the momentum of a strong team from the beginning, and establish the lead with the highest shooting percentage. Otherwise, if you shoot outside to open up space, it is estimated that the defense has not been completely pulled out, and the score will be opened by others.

In the first game of the playoffs, we must play with the momentum of the defending champion. We must suppress the Bucks so that they dare not defend, and they can easily shoot from the outside.

This is also because with Zhang Chen, the Heat's team is close to a balance inside and outside, not afraid that the opponents will all squeeze into the penalty area, and his shooting has never disappointed.

"Hold him, don't let the opponent pass by your side easily." Seeing the momentum of the Heat, Bucks coach George Karl was not satisfied with the team's defense and shouted from the sidelines.

His requirements are actually similar to those of Pat Riley, a hand-to-hand iron defense, but among the three bosses of the team, only Cassel seems to be able to do it. Robinson is habitually distracted, and Ray Allen's defense Although good, he is not the kind of player who likes to use hand-to-hand defense. His characteristic is that he always follows the offensive player or stays in front of the offensive player. He is not happy to ask him to wrestle.

He actually likes Zhang Chen's defense very much, but it's a pity that this is a player from the opposing team.

Ray Allen's two attempts to break through failed to pass Zhang Chen's defense, so he simply made a quick lateral move and made another three-pointer.

Although his shooting speed is fast, Zhang Chen's speed of extending his arm to block the shot is not slow.

In order to avoid the block, the ball was slightly off-point, and Mourning received a rebound.

Originally, Ray Allen was allowed to receive the ball and attack in advance, intending to display his full offensive power. The Bucks also referred to Zhang Chen’s choice of Reggie Miller’s off-ball defense. It's not very effective, but the team's offensive connection is not so good.

George Karl can only change the method immediately and return to the regular mode, when Kassel takes control of the ball.

"Cassell's breakthrough pass, Robinson turned around and picked the basketball after a fake move."

"Mourning backs Johnson, Williams pinches, Mourning makes a P-J-Brown jumper."

"Kassel speeds up the breakthrough, makes an emergency stop and hits a fallback jumper."

"Zhang Chen changed direction and accelerated, riding a horse and shooting an arrow, and the ball hit the board into the frame."

Both sides felt very good. In the first quarter, the two sides fell into a stalemate. The Heat took a slight lead, but they couldn't open the score.

At this time, it depends on who can support it. The main lineup played a lot in the playoffs because they have to stand on it when they encounter a stalemate.

But now the Heat don’t need everyone to be on top. Zhang Chen and Marsh were going to be fighting against each other’s firepower. Hardaway’s physical condition couldn’t keep up and Anthony Carter was replaced. Mourning also went down to rest first. , put on Thorpe.

The Bucks have no offensive power inside, so Mourning doesn't need to be on top all the time.

Relying on Zhang Chen and Mashburn to bite the game, and when the opponent's outside firepower is about to rest, Mourning, who is in full strength, can win the opponent in one fell swoop. This is the plan of the Heat.

"The Heat took the lead in making adjustments, and it's time for Zhang Chen to fully fire. Let us look forward to it together."
