Chapter 81 Sweep
In the second round, the Heat were not the only team with a stable performance.

The Pacers, Knicks, Lakers, Jazz, and Trail Blazers all defended their home court perfectly.

It seems that most of the chaos predicted by the media did not occur. Only the two most entangled opponents in the east and west experienced twists and turns. It was Derrick Coleman who broke out, and the Spurs, of course, were David Robinson.

Both of them are not young, such an outbreak is probably very rare to reproduce.

In the Bradley Center Arena, the Bucks trailing 0:2 can only fight with their backs.

The Heat are also unwilling to procrastinate for too long. Tim Hardaway decided to take a break. Facing the outside line of the Bucks, he was really overwhelmed.

Although Anthony Carter's defensive effect is also average, at least he is young, strong and hardworking, and is more suitable for the intense physical playoffs.

"Just like the last two games, winning the game, the away game is actually no different from the home game."

Mourning won the jump ball again, and the ball was in Zhang Chen's hands.

As soon as he dribbled the ball, he found that Cassell and Ray Allen surrounded him, and they didn't care about Anthony Carter on the other side. The Bucks' defense was already desperate.

Zhang Chen passed the ball to Anthony Carter. He had a chance to shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't make a shot. Although he is a defender, he basically has no three-point ability. If he has shooting ability, it is possible for him to completely replace Hardaway.

Anthony Carter dribbled the ball twice and handed it to Mourning. As soon as Mourning caught the ball, the opponent also surrounded him with two people. The Bucks were really desperate.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it well, Mourning smashed the ball to the ground.

A figure rushed over quickly, caught the ball and scored a layup.

Zhang Chen scored the first 2 points. If he double-teams him with the ball, he can still play without the ball.

Although his running position is not that good, but with his quickness, starting speed and ability to squeeze, he can still run out of position.

The rest depends on the passing of teammates. If the passing of teammates is not good, then he will play organization.

Anyway, there are many things that can be done, and a simple double-team cannot completely lock him up.

And his one-on-one defense doesn't mean locking up Ray Allen, there is no problem restricting the opponent.

He has a lot of experience as a ball-handling jumper.

In fact, Ray Allen, who has a high spirit, is not very willing to double-team, but the team has been pushed to the edge of a cliff, and he has nothing to do.

He must win offensively, and he also secretly competes.

And after he returned to the home court, his hand feeling did have a tendency to improve, which is also because he has adapted to Zhang Chen's defense a little.

"Ray Allen hits a pull-up jumper against the defense."

"The Bucks need that kind of performance from him, and the home fans are chanting his name loudly."

Zhang Chen wiped off his sweat, the opponent's rhythm of controlling the ball was really good, and the shot was very concealed and very fast.

He has to stick tighter. His heart is full of fighting spirit. After each defense, he will sum up how to have a better effect. If he is beaten by the opponent several times in a row, he will not be absolutely desperate, but I will be thinking about how to block this kind of attack, and what is the opponent's habitual action before shooting.

Summing up again and again, practicing again and again, the joy of finally succeeding in defense is no less than scoring.

This game is more difficult than the previous two games. Hardaway’s inability to play still has some influence. Although Hardaway’s shooting percentage is also poor now, his reputation is still there. The opponents dare not let it go too far. - Carter's attitude is that they don't care about outside shots, but this one really dare not shoot casually.

Zhang Chen can run out of position, but this opportunity is fleeting, and his teammates must not be able to wear it properly.

Zhang Chen's weapon running is generally related to the Heat's playing habits. Even Hardaway is not the kind of back who can grasp the timing of passing the ball very well, so the Heat play very little without the ball, because there is no one who is good at passing. Defender of the ball.

The defense of the Bucks is still effective. The score of the Heat is obviously much lower than that of the last two games, but under the active defense of the Heat, their score is only slightly higher.

In fact, it was a stalemate again, but this time the theme was defense.

More wins and less wins are wins, and the Bucks hope that this situation can be maintained.

"I will definitely win this game." Ray Allen also worked hard, and his offense was obviously decisive. This time he hit another three-pointer.

"Whatever, our team will win this game." Zhang Chen responded lightly.

Ray Allen snorted coldly, turned and walked towards their half.

At 40:44, at halftime, the Heat trailed by 4 points.

This kind of point difference is within the acceptable range, but Pat Riley is not superstitious about the team's outstanding performance in the last quarter. "In the second half, play a small lineup and shoot when there is an open space. Don't hesitate."

The Heat will change, and the Bucks have also thought of this possibility, but they don't have too many choices. If they stop the double-teaming tactics, Zhang Chen and Mourning can score immediately. They can only bet on the other teams of the Heat. The player cannot make more shots.

With a small lineup, the Heat put up all the players with the most accurate shots. Zhang Chen will play the first position, Dan Marley will play the second position, and Mashburn and Bowen will be added on the front line, so that all four of them will have three points. Ability, coupled with Mourning, such a combination, they want to see if the opponent dares to continue to attack.

After Zhang Chen dribbled the ball for half the court, the opponents surrounded him again. He waited until the two were close and pushed the ball to Dan Marley. Marley was not Anthony Carter. This veteran player caught and shot.

A three-pointer hit, and everyone in the Bucks suddenly felt cold.

It is almost difficult for Marley to score when he is a substitute, because it is difficult for him to create scoring opportunities by himself now, but if there is an open opportunity with the main lineup, he will still not be ambiguous.

Moreover, the outside line composed of Zhang Chen, Marley and Bowen is currently the strongest defensive combination of the Heat, and it will not be so easy for the Bucks to score.

George Karl's face is cloudy and uncertain. The background of the Heat is really incomparable to them. They can only play similar tactics in exchange, but the Heat can play inside and outside. , The key is that no one of their team can defend the core inside and outside. As a head coach who has defensive requirements, he is very uncomfortable.

He couldn't make up his mind whether to stop the pincer attack or not.

As time passed, the Heat tied the score and the Heat took the lead.

At 64:62, although the Heat only led by 2 points at the end of the third quarter, they defeated the Bucks' defense line.

They can't prevent it, this is how they feel about the Heat, which they didn't have in the regular season.

Thinking of being swept away, the young Bucks players felt a little uncomfortable. They were also swept last year. They thought they would make a difference this year.

"Exert all your energy, use your favorite method to fight, and remember, on the court, you should be a fighter." George Karl shouted loudly, and he was not good at tactics. There is a way, a smart woman can't cook without rice, the team's configuration is there.

But he believes that as long as the players do their best on the court, miracles will happen.

"Win the game in one fell swoop, and then you can go back to Miami and wait for the next opponent with peace of mind."

The Heat's momentum is high, often rising in the fourth quarter, and the players have psychological inertia. At this time, they are always full of confidence.

Zhang Chen caught the ball from the bottom line and dribbled it all the way, and the opponent rushed up habitually.

Suddenly speeding up, Zhang Chen changed direction and rushed past the two of them. The opponent hadn't caught up in time. Zhang Chen had always honestly divided the ball and made them defensive. He never thought that he would attack by himself at this time. Come.

If you can't concentrate, it's useless to add another person to double-team.

It was only George Karl's expectation to fight until the last moment. The Bucks players were a little discouraged at this time. Zhang Chen passed through the two in an instant, and the opponent's defense immediately became chaotic.

The inside players are still hesitating whether to make up or not to make up, but Zhang Chen has already jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket.

This heavy dunk not only aggravated the collapse of the Bucks players on the field, but even the fans on the sidelines shed tears of disappointment.

The opponent's attack continued, but the energy at the beginning was gone.

The fighting spirit was slowly lost, the defense could not concentrate, and the Bucks collapsed all of a sudden.

Even if George Karl shouted loudly on the court, it would have no effect.

The Heat, however, became more and more courageous. In the last few minutes, the Bucks chose to surrender and replaced with a substitute lineup. Obviously, the previous game was still tangled, but they didn't expect it to end up like this.

The Heat also suffered from a substitute player, and the game ended quickly. At 94:78, the Heat swept their opponents 3:0.

"I can only say that the Heat are stronger this season. I am looking forward to the next game. I believe my players are the best." Pat Riley also smiled after the game.

The performance of the team can be said to have basically healed the weakness of opponents with strong outside firepower. In other words, they are more confident in defeating the strong teams in the Eastern Conference.

"Sometimes, many people don't want to believe what I say. Zhang Chen is a very arrogant person. They may define it this way. In fact, I am just a person who works hard and works hard towards victory. No matter who the opponent in the next round is Whoever, I will work hard to defeat them, that's it."

"By the way, don't worry about the so-called experts who want to satirize me. You can watch the playoffs first, and then talk about it slowly."

The team is promoted, it is chic, it is full of confidence.

Having a mouth addiction is actually a way to relax, but it may be slapped in the face.

However, if you don't win, you will be slapped in the face no matter what you do, so the most important thing to do is always win.
