Center first

Chapter 149
The existence of Lin Yi is the Heat's restraint on the Magic's tactics. Originally, for this kind of flexible center, he might be more taboo to fight against the talented and powerful center under the basket.The difference in strength could easily lead to excessive consumption of physical strength, but Lin Yi's advantage in foot movement and amazing performance in physical explosiveness completely defeated Stan Van Gundy's plan.

Originally, among the centers, whether they are flexible or powerful, it is not a permanent conclusion who is stronger and who is weaker. Now Lin Yi and Howard are in a state of extreme excitement. Both of them can attack or defend. Exhibit the highest level of competition.

When the basket does not have an absolute advantage, the magic team is in trouble, mainly because of the singleness of the magic team's inside players. Although they have two big men over 2 meters apart from Howard, those two These guys are always on the perimeter, and they rarely get into the paint.

Lewis and Turkoglu's inside attack and defense are relatively weak. They are more like traditional European big men who are used to solving problems by shooting, rather than those traditional American centers who are used to playing in the middle. Down the opponent at the basket.

The lack of integrity inside is the fatal shortcoming of the Magic. They have been unable to deal with Yao's singles in the interior, because when Yao faced Howard, he was not at a disadvantage in terms of strength and height, and he could use these advantages to restrain him. Inside the Magic.

When Warcraft can't overwhelm the inside, the overall operation of the Magic team is almost at a standstill. Although Lin Yi can't reach the point where Yao Yao can fully restrict Warcraft, his attack power and defense put pressure on Warcraft. , are enough to make the opponent unable to control the area under the basket.

There is a weakness in strength, but Lin Yi has been trying to make up for this gap. He kept harassing Howard, and his subordinates began to gradually increase their movements. Howard turned around twice in a row, Lin Yi broke the ball from his hand with his long arm.

The basic skills at the basket were rough, and Howard's shortcomings were infinitely magnified at this moment. Ewing couldn't help frowning as he sat on the sidelines. His interior is causing so much trouble.

Spoelstra's gamble this time has achieved the result he wanted. Although Lin Yi did not completely suppress his opponent, the Warcraft, which has been unstoppable in the east, has finally found an opponent that he cannot defeat. Counterpointer.

The most proud tactic of the Magic is nothing more than Howard bullying the opponent's weak inside, or the breakthrough and scoring tactic initiated by Nelson. In addition, the pick-and-roll between Turkoglu and Lewis is also their best attack method. .

Nelson is no longer as sharp as he used to be to break through. Under Raja Bell's endless pestering, he has been very reluctant to even pass the basic organization.Now Nelson can finally experience the pain when Kobe was stalked by Bell.

"Damn it, it was a disaster. My surroundings seemed to be covered with spider threads, and he was going to suffocate me." Nelson complained to the Orlando media in an interview later. It is the role of Bell replacing Chalmers.

Although he is not young, this guy who is famous for his iron-blooded defense never gives his opponent any chance to break through easily. Even if it is a foul, he must stick to his post. In this game, Nelson is very honored to enjoy Kobe once. The treatment, of course, the ending is very painful.

Nelson has enjoyed this kind of 24-hour personal and uninterrupted all-round three-dimensional care, and their three-point shooters have not been much better. Spoelstra's arrangement has taken care of almost all of the Magic, except for Courtney. Except for Lee, because that guy is going to face Wade, so Spoelstra doesn't need to arrange anything specially. Do you think The Flash will easily let his opponent go?This guy is not a god, he is not that kind.

Faced with two big men doing a pick-and-roll, I am afraid that any head coach will scold Stan Van Gundy's whole family in his heart when he encounters this style of play. This is simply a scumbag tactic.Who do you choose to defend against?The one that prevents breach?The guy who emptied outside was also not a vegetarian in his shooting skills.The guy you're on the perimeter, what about the other guy who drives into the paint?
However, Spoelstra's targeted defensive plan worked at this time. He even used the old man Horry on the field in the second half of the first quarter and the entire second quarter.He can take Marion off the field, then let Horry go to mark Turkoglu, let McDyess go up in front of Lewis, so that the pick-and-roll between the tall men of the Magic is often blocked by these two. An old slippery guy ruined it.

Lin Yi has been using his hands to keep interfering in the interior. Any attack by Howard has to use his whole body. The usual World of Warcraft that likes to be alive and kicking during the intermission also disappeared without a trace. Howard seized every opportunity to rest on the bench. Only he and Lin Yi knew how fierce the confrontation was between them. Each impact requires several times more physical effort than usual.

The battle of attrition is a kind of exhaustion that the Magic can't bear inside. Although Lin Yi's physical strength is more serious than Howard's, he can continue to fight Howard inside.When Howard is off the court, the Magic are left with a useless Gortat, and the Heat's Haslem is much better than him.

They are also blue-collar insiders, but the roles between the two of them are very different. Don't forget, Haslem is one of the members who won the championship ring.Although he is not the best in the interior, his blue-collar work is envied by many teams, and a qualified interior coolie is not so easy to do.

At the same time, Lin Yi also wanted to prevent Howard from mentioning the high post and Turkoglu did the pick-and-roll. His footwork had already taught Howard a lesson at the basket, but Turkoglu tried twice without giving up.

But unfortunately, in Lin Yi's eyes, the speed of his footsteps was no different from slowing down. Although Turkoglu entered the restricted area through Howard's cover, Lin Yi followed immediately.

When they were watching the video, they had studied how to deal with this kind of breakthrough. Lin Yi insisted on using substitutions to defend.Howard's mid-range shooting skills are almost negligible. The most lethal weapon of this method is to break through the recent Turkoglu. This Turk has many offensive methods, and he must be the one who must be restricted.

So when Lin Yi faced this situation, he resolutely gave up the top defense against Howard, and went in directly, using the advantage of foot movement to block Turkoglu's breakthrough route, and resolutely sent the opponent to the corner of the bottom line. Drive away, so that he does not have the opportunity to come back to the middle.

Turkoglu has almost no way to block Lin Yi's block height. Even if he ignores other people's return to help defend, he has almost no chance to continue to break through to the basket to score. With Lin Yi's tall body Surrounded, he didn't even have much of a passing angle blocked.

His only remaining option is to make an emergency stop jump shot in the bottom corner, which is the place he is least good at. Turkoglu, who lives by shooting, is not very good at this kind of emergency stop jump shot on the move. Not hot like a soldering iron, and nine times out of ten those shots turn into rebounds.

With careful arrangements and targeted defense, the Heat almost completely blocked all the opponent's offensive methods.The Heat now face strong opponents, and they also show a ferocious face, engaging in physical confrontation in every corner of the court.

Fighting, endless physical contact, this is the task Spoelstra gave them.Break up the rhythm of the opponent's offense, let those old bones play their best, cut off, and when every Magic player has the ball, they have dancing hands around them to interfere.

In addition to these, the Heat also cut off the Magic's playmaker very insidiously.What makes the Magic different from other teams is that in addition to their point guard Nelson, their power forward Turkoglu is also an organizer. This guy averages about 5 assists per game.

Let the cannonball transportation channel be completely closed, the old Horry and Bell teamed up to block the opponent's offensive attempts at both ends, and the penetration of Turkoglu and Nelson is often stifled in the bud. At this moment, the Magic's offensive channel is almost Paralyzed.

Now the only player who is emptied and can hold the ball at will is Lewis alone. McDyess will never restrict Lewis from holding the ball outside, he will give the opponent space to take the ball calmly.

Lewis can easily receive the ball from any direction, but he often finds a problem after receiving the ball. He is not a good player who can organize offense with the ball basket.

It's almost a disaster to let Lewis take on the job of dispatching the ball. When he tries to organize, he doesn't have the chicness of shooting directly after receiving the ball. He often hesitates, which is heartbreaking.McDyess also often uses his body to get stuck in the opponent's position, so that Lewis, who has never attacked with his back to the basket, makes a lot of fools around the basket.

Disrupting these guys' offensive steps, interspersed organization, and shooting rhythm, except for a monster who can thump around the basket, the Magic team was already dying by the hot flames of the Heat in the third quarter of the game.

75:56, the 19-point gap at the end of the third quarter made Stan Van Gundy roar in despair, but when the game progressed to the middle of the fourth quarter, he couldn't think of a better way than to shut up.

An opponent who has been defeated by the Magic [-] times in a row is now tormenting Orlando's nerves with humiliation. Except that they can expect something at the basket, the rest of the players have fallen into despair.

Bench, bench, when there were 5 minutes left in the game, almost all the main players of the Magic team sat on the bench, their dull eyes didn't know where to look, except for Howard's stubborn refusal to take a rest, everyone had already given up resisted.

Slam dunks, spin hooks, basketballs thumping with both hands on rebounds, Howard vents his anger.It's a pity that his current attack is completely venting his anger, and he didn't get any advantage from Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's dreamy moves under the basket with his nimble footsteps made Howard often deceived and lost his center of gravity.

Turning around, making a fake move, Howard jumped up to block the shot, and Lin Yi took advantage of the opportunity to wipe over the opponent's body and lightly completed a layup.

Holding the ball with his back to the left, Howard stepped to block it. Lin Yi leaned on his opponent's body like a top and wiped to the bottom line. After leaping high, he scored a mid-range shot.

The shaking, the continuous turning and fake moves under the basket made Howard dare not intercept easily, and could only follow Lin Yi's footsteps in vain, but when he found that he had deviated from the defensive range of the three-second zone, there was already a black one there. Lightning waited in the air for the basketball thrown by Lin Yi, scoring a perfect alley-oop.

High position support, organization of offense, quick movement of feet, and clean mid-range jumper. Although Lin Yi failed to hold Howard's offensive footsteps on the defensive end, he will use double firepower to fight back on the offensive end.

This battle between centers is like an attack without defense. Both big guys use their best offensive methods to hammer the opponent's defense. When the opponent is on the field, the other side will definitely be on the field.

As if they had agreed, only one was replaced, and the other immediately chose to rest. The two of them were fighting against each other from the beginning to the end of the game. This was not only for the result of the game, but also for the glory of the center forward. .

They are not all the forces that determine the outcome of the game, but they have already had their own performances that have affected the course of the game. The confrontation between these two big men lasted for nearly 40 minutes, allowing all fans watching the game to relive the golden age of centers in the 90s excitement.

Centers are not guys who can only defend. They can dominate the trend of a game. They can change a lot of things with their hands, including changing the perception of guys who dismiss centers.

When Lin Yi and Howard were replaced respectively, the transcripts they handed over made everyone look forward to the dialogue between the two in the future. They are immature now, and when they really mature, maybe the world under the basket will change. become more brilliant.

Lin Yi, 27 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals.

Howard, 29 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 blocks.

Now the two young centers have made many people look forward to the collision of the two teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs. If they played against each other at that time, it might be more exciting, because these two guys are young enough for them to look forward to.
