Center first

Chapter 222
(To explain something, the Heat held a retirement ceremony for Jordan jerseys in April 03, but the No. 4 jersey was half Bulls and half Wizards. There is no 23, as a show of respect for Jordan. So Mourning was the first number retired in Miami, and his 23 was the first Heat jersey to hang on the ceiling.)
Lin Yi's understanding of countermeasures made Rick Carlisle helpless. He had tried his best to arrange his inside line to double-team Lin Yi, but this yellow-skinned kid's never-greedy style of play often made the double-teaming ineffective, and That pass skill is really good.

Nowitzki faced such a big insider, no matter how fast he double-teamed, there was no way to guarantee the restrictions on Lin Yi, let alone Dampier, this black big man with an annual salary of tens of millions and Lin Yi One's matchup defense has almost no effect at all.

He also only had defense left, allowing Dampier to get points from Lin Yi's defense. . .Rick Carlisle knew that he was dreaming. The only people he could count on now were the pitchers led by Nowitzki, because Carlisle had already seen Mark Cuban's liver-like expression.

McDyess and Lin Yi teamed up to attack the Mavericks' interior, which made the Mavericks' interior defense often have to focus on one thing and lose another.Nowitzki can only try his best to ensure that McDyess will not get a free shot.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yi would not have defended any chance to play singles. His mid-range shot and footwork under the basket were fully displayed when facing Dampier.

As for restricting Lin Yi, it is basically out of the question. The Germans can only watch Lin Yi carry Dampier in singles, and the poor Dampier has fouled Lin Yi twice in a row. His own statistics There are only two rebounds.

However, Nowitzki did not evade Lin Yi's provocation. The German carried the offensive banner of the Dallas Mavericks with his own hands.Nowitzki did not choose to take a step back in the face of McDyess' close defense. He used his strong body to hold his opponent to death.

After all, the height of the German is a line higher than that of McDyess, and his strong upper body strength will not suffer in the confrontation. McDyess can only rely on his own moving steps to keep up with the Germans, trying to use his body to fight and delay the Germans. Intrusion inside the team.

But Nowitzki is not the kind of guy who can only score when he squeezes inside. His attack range can always be extended beyond the three-point line. Nowitzki's strong sudden, but also to prevent him from firing on the periphery.

Moreover, Nowitzki played very proactively in this game. He was not afraid of physical contact with McDyess. He even took the initiative to find opportunities for physical contact, using his height and weight advantage to try to compress McDyess's defense. area.

In this way, there will often be defensive holes at Nowitzki's point, and the two pitchers around the German are ready to respond at any time. Once the Heat's replacement has problems, Josh Howard and Jason. Terry can strike at medium and long distances.

Even though Raja Bell is trying to stick to Jason Terry, Nowitzki can still cause loopholes in the Heat's defense system, especially when he breaks through the McDyess defense line, he often Leave a brief gap in the Miami Heat's defense.

Don't forget, as an inside player from the European continent, Nowitzki has a very strong sense of overall cooperation, but when a loophole occurs, his passing skills are not inferior to Lin Yi, Terry and Howard. Will receive the basketball from the German inside the pass on the run.

In this way, the defensive pressure on the outside will become very high. Marion and Bell Sr. are often led by the nose by two shooters. Frequent running will inevitably lead to undue defensive gaps. Feeling hot and hot today.

As for Kidd's defense against Chalmers, he is more than a level higher in terms of experience and control of the rhythm. Although Kidd's shooting skills are still as poor as ever, he can use his own breakthrough to open up. Situation, Chalmers can only fall into passive defense.

The Mavericks' crazy counterattacks made Lin Yi often go out from the inside to make up defenses, so when he was far away from the three-second zone, he also had problems controlling the rebounds. Dampier also took advantage of his loss of position and scored two consecutive times The opportunity to attack is finally a draw.

Although the Heat can suppress their opponents with their own offensive advantages, the point difference between the two teams has not been widened. The Mavericks have kept the point difference at about four points relying on Nowitzki's fiery touch. Until the end of the first quarter, the two teams were still in such a tug-of-war.

At 30:26, the Miami Heat only lead their opponents by four points. Even though Lin Yi and the others have been trying to suppress their opponents, the results are not satisfactory. The two teams have fallen into a situation of mutual explosion.

Lin Yi played hard inside or responded to score points. When he returned to his defense zone, he had to face the attack of three shooters shooting from different directions. Moreover, the touch of these three players was very hot today. Spoelstra has no good way to limit them.

When playing in the NBA, the most fearful thing is to encounter a group of shooters who are at their peak at the same time. It is really hard to guard against. If there is one person in the group of shooters who is taller than [-] meters, then you can only pray to God , there is no other way.

The Dallas people, who had been pushed to a desperate situation, burst into the strongest attacking state at home in Miami. Nowitzki's 5-of-5 shooting made McDyess lower his head helplessly. After all, he was defending the Germans. He became a gap in the team's defense, which made McDyess hold his breath in his heart.

In addition to scoring 10 points in mid-range shots, Nowitzki also grabbed three defensive rebounds, forced McDyess to cause a foul, and made two free throws.With such achievements, the German sat in the rest area and wiped the sweat from his head with a towel.

No matter what others think, today's German's strong explosion in the first quarter has announced to everyone that the German chariot has not collapsed, he is still strong, and he is still the big guy who once won the MVP. Ruin the Miami party with both hands.

Mark Cuban was even dancing on the sidelines and cheering loudly, shouting hello for every Mavericks' offensive success.While there are unfriendly stares all around him, this crazy cowboy doesn't seem to care.

Spoelstra is going to use the rest time to adjust the defense on the field, and Nowitzki is the reason for forcing him to make adjustments.

"Guys, the offense was very smooth just now, but there seems to be something wrong with our defense." Spoelstra held the tactical board and compared with the players around him. He must now find a good one. way to contain the Germans.

"I need to change my defensive strategy against the German. If we let him go crazy, we will be in a very passive position today." Everyone understands what Spoelstra said, and the situation on the court just now is the same , When Nowitzki's offense is not hindered, the Mavericks as a whole are revitalized.

"This is not the responsibility of Antonio alone. I need to review. Nowitzki's recent downturn has made me despise him a bit, and I have been punished. Now let's correct this mistake." Spohr Stella didn't pin the blame on McDyess.

Except that McDyess did not limit his opponents in defending Nowitzki, he has already scored eight points and two rebounds on offense. His joint attack with Lin Yi completely disintegrated the opponent's inside defense. His performance is good enough, let's not forget that he has only just returned from injury for two days.

McDyess has done enough in the face of a sudden burst of MVP players. You can't ask a veteran who just returned to the team to completely block a neurotic shooter, let alone the few shots that the damn German just made. It's really too BUG, ​​every time with a little backward.

You can't ask McDyess to block such a shot, besides, McDyess is a few centimeters shorter than the Germans, and he is still on the defensive side, so what Spoelstra needs to do now is Make an adjustment to your defensive position.

"Boss, let me keep an eye on that guy. I just need to find someone to watch over Dampier for me." Lin Yi interrupted suddenly.

"Why? Give me a reason?" Spoelstra didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking, although now in the Miami Heat only Lin Yi's height and movement could keep him from losing against the Germans. But the paint still needs protection, so Spoelstra needs to know what the little guy is thinking.

"Antonio's height will be a disadvantage when facing that guy, and I don't have this flaw. Our offense now has no problems, the defense that needs to be done, and the German is the hub of their team's offense. Only a complete block He's the one who can win this game, and I think I can do it."

Lin Yi's expression didn't look like he was joking, he seemed to have seriously considered this issue, and it was definitely not a temporary whim.

"Are you sure?" Spoelstra asked.

"Sure, I assure everyone that I will stare at him and never give him any chance to stand up." Lin Yi looked around at his teammates, and he said very sincerely.

"I don't want to lose today's game, so I will try my best to kill the German, and I will leave the rest to you. We can win when they can't open the gap on the outside. Just give it to me."

After staring at Lin for a while, Spoelstra made up his mind, since Nowitzki is the source of the opponent's motivation, well, I will use my core to completely block your spring water.

"OK, now let's reassign the tasks. Since that damned German guy has already been actively marked, let's talk about the defensive tasks of the remaining guys." Spoelstra knew that now Lin Yi hopes to use his mobility to contain Nowitzki's movement.

ok so let those crazy cowboys be completely dumb, that nasty mark cuban has been yelling for a long time in the first quarter, on the day of our team reunion, better shut up that maniac , honestly sat in a chair and watched the game.

"That guy Terry must limit his outside shots. Bell, this is your task. That guy has scored six points in the first quarter. I don't want it to be the same in the second quarter." Spoelstra turned his head. Talk to Raja Bell.

"Understood, I won't make him comfortable." Raja Bell was gearing up.

"Josh Howard is handed over to you, Sean, don't make it easy for him." Spoelstra and Marion confessed.

"Okay." The alien Marion expressed his attitude simply and clearly.

"Antonio, your task in the second quarter is to protect the rebound for me. That Dampier moves slower than you, but he will have a certain advantage in height. I hope you can protect the inside line when Lin Yi goes out. , Sean's defensive position will be retracted as much as possible, so the effect will be better."

Spoelstra was drawing with McDyesper about his area.

"Kidd's guy is still in charge of Mario. I don't need you to stare at his shots, but you must limit his breakthroughs, understand?" Spoelstra and Chalmers said, he needs This little guy exhausted Kidd with physical strength.

"Understood, boss." Chalmers nodded to show that he understood.

"Okay, Lin Yi, I'll watch your performance in the second quarter, remember, don't let that German go crazy again, this is what you promised." Spoelstra patted Lin Yi's back back.

"Don't worry, I will do what I say." Lin Yi clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in the air.

"I believe you, let God bless that German, go and make a good show for the fans present today, don't let the protagonist down today." Spoelstra smiled at Lin, he knew clearly , when Lin Yi tries his best to defend a person, the opponent will definitely enjoy the treatment that only a VIP can have.

It was time to start the second quarter. When Nowitzki was attacking with the ball, he was surprised to find that the person in front of him had been replaced by Lin Yi, that tall yellow-skinned kid, who was lowering his center of gravity, waiting his arrival.

"You come to stare at me?" Nowitzki looked at the little guy in front of him and said.

"Afraid that I won't be able to stare at you? Just come and try, my service has always been very considerate." The smile on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth carried a dangerous taste.

When core meets core, that ignites the most violent collision.
