Chapter 597 Pacers' Strategy

Green made a sudden point and passed it to Luol Deng, who scored with a hook.

Then the Pacers counterattacked. Hill came to the front court and passed the ball to George. Meng Yun stepped forward. He is still defending George today. With the experience of the previous game, he believes that he will be able to defend better.

However, George's strength is too strong. After the last match, Meng Yun sorted out some of George's characteristics, but facing George today, he found that he still couldn't stop George from scoring.

Sometimes it's not something you can prevent if you know how to defend.

For example, James, Harden, Durant, everyone knows how they want to play, and countless people have studied how to defend them, but knowing it is one thing, and defending it is another.

For some players, you know how to defend, but you still can't defend.

This is actually not surprising. Assuming that a player can defend a certain one or a few super players one-on-one, then his value will be immeasurable, not even worse than some superstars.Because at critical times, such as the playoffs, many teams actually rely on their stars. If you can really completely defend against the opponent's stars one-on-one, then your team has already won more than half of it.

However?

Throughout the history of the nba, no such person can be found.

All superstars are not famous for their defense alone. They may also have excellent defensive ability, but their strongest is offense, because you can't completely defend against a super player, even if Jordan and Pippen are here.

Therefore, it is impossible for Meng Yun to completely guard against George. It would be good to have certain restrictions on George.

The scary thing is that it's hard to even limit.

"Drink." George drank low, single-handedly hit Meng Yun, and accelerated his forced breakthrough.

Meng Yun clung to George tightly, and the two confronted physically. Meng Yun didn't suffer a lot, but he really didn't get the slightest advantage. The two entangled and moved to the inside line, and Whiteside had already moved forward.

The two blocked George.

But George suddenly stopped and lifted the ball. Meng Yun subconsciously raised his center of gravity, but George just swayed, quickly landed on one foot, leaned back, and threw the ball. The arc was very high, and Meng Yun had no time. Jumping up, he could only stretch his arms, and Whiteside jumped up behind him. He was tall and had long arms, but he still couldn't touch the ball.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

"This is the strength of a superstar." Meng Yun clenched his fists with emotion, and his heart was full of fighting spirit. The stronger the opponent, the more excited he was.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Heat attack.

After Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Wade, but the Pacers double-teamed the next moment.

"Damn it." Wade cursed secretly, feeling a little suffocated from the beating.

From the beginning of the game, the Pacers double-teamed Wade, and immediately double-teamed Wade as soon as he saw the ball, even if Wade was still outside the three-point line, they directly double-teamed and forced him to pass the ball.

Double-teaming is nothing. Wade has experienced it many times, but there are not many double-teams like the Pacers.

Wade scored the ball again, with a gloomy face. After 4 minutes in the first quarter, he only took two shots, one of which was relatively reluctant and failed to make a shot. He made 2 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points.

Meng Yun was also frowning, thinking solemnly: "Is this the Pacers' strategy? Double-team Wade, limit Wade at all costs, and destroy our integrity."

Double-teaming Wade, limiting Wade's performance, although this will make the Pacers' defense have loopholes, and was even used by the Heat twice and successfully scored.But without Wade, the Heat's offense has some problems. The overall tactics are not smooth enough, and important scoring points are missing.

Others can also score, and Meng Yun can also score, but the situation is completely different.

First, other people's scoring ability and stability are not as good as Wade's. Wade can seize any opportunity to score the ball, but others can't.

Second, Meng Yun's scoring ability is very strong. If the opponent double-teams Wade, he can also get more scoring opportunities, but in this way, Meng Yun becomes a scorer, and his organizational ability is weakened instead. .

"What should I do?" Meng Yun thought, broke through through the pick-and-roll, and then scored the ball outside the three-point line. Green made a three-pointer, but failed to make it.

Wade was restricted and even affected the state of other players.

In a blink of an eye, halfway through the first quarter, even many fans saw that something was wrong.

"The situation is not good. Wade only scored 2 points at this point in the first quarter."

"Yeah, and the other players are not in good shape. Only Meng scored the most points. But look at the score. At 17:10, the Pacers have already led by 7 points."

Just over halfway through the first quarter, the Pacers played well, while the Heat scored 6 points for Meng Yun, Wade 2 points, Luol Deng scored 2 points at the beginning, and the Heat scored 10 points in total. Got [-] points.

Obviously, the Heat fell into a disadvantage.

"We can't continue playing like this." Rostern said anxiously: "The opponent is consciously trying to stare at Wade, and it's too difficult for Meng Yun to carry the team alone."

"Yes." Howard also said: "The reason why we won the last game is because Meng Yun and Wade both performed well at the critical moment, and the opponent can only rely on George alone. If our two cores have One is marked to death, relying on the other person may not be their opponent."

Hearing this, Craig and McAdoo also nodded in unison.

Bill Duffy's analysis in the previous game was actually correct. Meng Yun is amazingly talented, but lacks experience and skills. Wade has rich experience, but he is old after all.

If it is a one-on-one match, neither Meng Yun nor Wade is George's opponent. Only the combination of the two can suppress George and beat the Pacers.

"Request a timeout," Spoelstra yelled.

The Heat called a timeout.

Not far away, Pacers coach Frank Vogel smiled at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Spoelstra, and said to himself: "See? But it doesn't matter, I just want to double-team Wade , try to limit Wade as much as possible, as long as Wade is missing, you will lose."

After the last loss, Frank Vogel was thinking about how to make changes.

After discussing with several assistant coaches, Frank Vogel realized the problem of the Heat. Meng Yun was too young and Wade was too old, so he had this strategy-double-teaming Wade!
The reason why Wade is double-teamed instead of Meng Yun is because Wade's speed is slow now, his physical fitness has declined, and his playing depends on experience and technology. It is relatively easy to limit him.Meng Yun has excellent physical fitness and fast speed, so it is difficult to limit him, and Wade is the "spirit of the sea" of the Heat. Meng Yun has not really grown up yet, and the leader and soul of the Heat is still Wade.

So since he wanted to double-team someone at all costs, of course it was Wade!
