Center first

Chapter 293
The fiasco of the Miami Heat was just an upset in the game that day. The other victim was the Orlando Magic led by Warcraft. No one would have guessed that on this day, No.2 and No.4 in the East They fell at home, and they all lost to opponents who were not optimistic before the game.

This is completely at ease. Among the top four players in the Eastern Conference, only the Cleveland Cavaliers successfully defeated their opponents during the two-day competition. Opening the door, the three teams that are usually rivals have become comrades-in-arms this time.

(A BUG was written in the last chapter. Teams with good results should be hosts first, and then guests. I made a typo when I wrote it. I took it myself and admitted my mistake... But fortunately, it has been corrected. Sorry, next time Never make such a low-level mistake...)
But the worst is the Miami Heat. After all, the Magic and the Celtics only lost two points to their opponents. Sometimes, you have to allow accidents in basketball games. These two games are likely to come down to one. An accident, but Miami can't find any excuses.

It is impossible to call it an accident that the opponent opened up a gap of 26 points in a game. Besides, the accident is too big. No wonder the Miami people were criticized by many reporters who were optimistic about them before the game. After a while, there is no way, who made the loss of the game too ugly.

Such a result made Pat Riley furious. Almost all the directors watched such a massacre in the boxes of the arena. No one could sit quietly until the end of the game. When the game progressed to the third quarter , the entire box was empty.

There are not too many accusations, but the frost on the faces of those directors is enough to show their attitude. No one likes to see the team they pay for play like this. Don't say that these guys don't understand basketball. Even if you understand, it is impossible to stick to it.

Not only are these directors expressing their dissatisfaction with such actions, even the fans who fanatically supported the Heat team also expressed their protests in silent silence during the fourth quarter. It won't be played by the team they have in mind.

But the reality is like this, the group of people running on the field are the heroes in their hearts, but this kind of game makes people unable to applaud, who made the Miami Heat play like a pile of mud in this game, if it is not because With a couple of unlucky ghosts on his side, maybe the next day's sports papers would be filled with news about the Heat's fiasco.

Even so, the local media in Miami didn't have any plans to let the Heat go. A series of critical articles flooded the sky, and those famous people on TV unceremoniously compared the performance of the Heat to a bunch of dogs. shit.

Of course, these are just criticisms from the media. What Spoelstra can't stand the most is some voices from the NBA, such as Mike Brown, who makes him more and more disliked now, accepting TV During the interview, he grinned and commented on the Heat.

"Oh, in fact, playing well in the regular season does not mean that they will definitely play well in the playoffs. In fact, such things as revival cannot be accomplished overnight. He needs precipitation and accumulation, and it is not because of the change of a few people. It can have an immediate effect, so I am not surprised by the result of this game."

"We generally make the worst estimate when we play a game. Of course, our tactical system has not changed. Only by clarifying our core can we make the game fall into our own track, so I think keeping the ball The stability of the core of the team is the most important."

"If we can still meet the Miami Heat in the second round, we will definitely be as serious as we are now treating the Detroit Pistons, because our goal is the final championship, and we will continue to work hard for this goal , There will never be any slack until the goal is achieved.”

Mike Brown talked eloquently in an interview on TV. There was nothing embarrassing about it. They were the only ones who won the first game of the top four in the Eastern Conference. The other three opponents all collapsed, especially The defeat of the Miami people made Mike Brown even more refreshed.

This old guy who looks quite gentle with glasses is not a kind person. He will seize every opportunity that can damage the morale of his opponents to tease his potential enemies. What he said in the interview is obviously Belittle the opponents you may encounter in the future.

There is never a shortage of things like war of words, but obviously if there is a war of words this time, it will be Spoelstra who will suffer, because it is really nothing for his team to play such a shitty game. The reason is easy to refute, but he has already remembered the opponent's attack in his heart.

"Damn, this grandson is so arrogant! If there is no LeBron on his team, this guy will probably not get any results of his own in this life. Are the eyes of the judges blind? They are going to let such a one Guy wins Coach of the Year award."

The irritable voice had already drifted out through the crack of the office door. Lin Yi and Wade, who were undergoing physical therapy, could hear it clearly. Listening to Spoelstra's roar in the office, Lin Yi and Wei De and the two looked at each other, gently wiped a drop of sweat off their foreheads, and then whispered.

"Hey, Lin Yi, do you think the boss is so irritable because we lost so badly in the last game, or is it because of something else? It's the first time I saw this little man lose his temper so much. After the game yesterday , I thought this guy was going to close the door and pull out an AK47 from behind to chug us all."

Wade still remembers Spoelstra's ferocious expression yesterday. Looking at the tactical board on the wall that was directly smashed and deformed by him, one can imagine how terrifying this guy was at that time.Having said that, this Filipino is more and more fond of using the tactical board as a prop. Since the game when Lin Yi was injured, he used the tactical board in his hand to vent whenever he was not going well. Counting yesterday's one, it is already The sixth piece that died recently.

"The loss of the game may be one of the reasons. After all, you can see that our general manager's face is not good today, and it is said that none of the directors can survive until the end of the game. Riley must feel the same in the box." It won't be good."

"In addition, I feel that the boss seems to have other reasons for being so irritable. Didn't you hear that he cursed the blindness of the selection staff in the office just now? In fact, our great little head coach seems to be I don't mind him being overwhelmed by that Mike Brown."

Lin Yi whispered to Wade quietly, how would Spoelstra feel if he could hear these two boys commenting on him behind his back?One thing is for sure, that is, the training hours of Wade and Lin Yi will increase greatly.

"Well, in fact, men are also good at jealousy. To be honest, our boss has actually done a good job this season, no worse than the guy who hugged James' thigh." Wade looked at Spoelster with a very understanding look. La's office, then patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and continued.

"In fact, these people in our team are quite jealous of you. You can have such a beautiful celebrity girlfriend. In fact, if I were you, the recovery speed of my ankle might be slower. After all, some movements will involve the injury there. It's okay, it's about you The problem of slow recovery, I can understand."

"Your uncle! We are a pure male-female relationship!" Lin Yi looked at the lustful Wade, and now he just wanted to use a basketball directly to hit this unscrupulous guy in the face, of course, if he saw After Wade and those old guys discussed Lin Yi's expression behind their backs, he would reward each of them with a basketball.

"Well, in fact, my wife and I have always had a pure relationship between men and women when we didn't roll over on the bed. When your heart is full of justice, all primitive desires are nothingness. Don't explain, they are all men. Who doesn't care about it?" Know who, the only piece of advice, don’t take selfies, I’ve been stuck recently.”

Wade spoke in the tone of a person who has experienced it, but the heavy expression on his face seemed to be telling a great entrustment. It would be more perfect if there was no lewd smile on the corner of his mouth, but the training day At that time, all the players saw that Wade's uniform had a big footprint on the buttocks.

Although he lost a game, although everyone was blaming these players of the Miami Heat, Spoelstra only got angry once in the locker room after that game, and he tried to take all the responsibility He took it all over himself, after all, he himself underestimated the enemy.

But that was only a stance when facing questions from the media and the management. Although the Filipino didn't scold these big guys, everyone could clearly feel that this guy had started to increase his volume in training. I want to lose to my opponent twice in a row at my home court.

If they continue to perform like this in the next game, they are destined to be drowned in the center of the American Airlines Arena by more than 2 cups of ice-cola. Spoelstra also began to seriously summarize the results of the first game. Gain or loss, he didn't want to repeat the passive situation of the previous game.

Everyone will say something nice after something happens, but the Filipinos prefer to find the crux of the matter. In hindsight, the pig-like situation before the event will not appear in Spoelstra. The video of the game, looking for the opponent's defensive loopholes.

The existence of Horford makes the Miami Heat's inside line very tight. There is no way to do it. It is impossible for Spoelstra to risk using Lin Yi because of such a game, and he does not want to take all the burden. It's all on that kid.

The opponent's inside attack is only one of the aspects. The biggest problem revealed in the last game is still on the offensive end. The whole game can only score 64 points. After all, it is a bit unreasonable, let alone Miami this season Still known for his sharp offense.

Basketball is a five-man game. It's a phrase that's been used badly, but it was the biggest mistake the Miami Heat made in Game [-]. When their offense faltered, no one used a calm attitude. To stabilize everyone's emotions, instead, he handed over the ball to Wade to handle it.

When Wade broke through and was surrounded by the opponent's net and was frustrated, those passes were still stuffed into his hands as always. At this time, Wade also lost his offensive rhythm a bit. Solve the problem, but the cold touch does not bring the team victory.

When a guy who averaged only 3.5 three-pointers per game in the regular season climbed to 8 times in the playoffs, it would definitely be an inevitable disaster, and the shooting percentage this guy can contribute Only 31.7%, it would be even more of a tragedy.

But the team's collective cold feeling also forced Wade to carry the banner of offense by himself. He has tried his best to attack the opponent, but the tight ground-air integrated defense system allowed him to take off alone. It seemed so weak that the Princeton system almost disappeared without a trace in this game.

Run, use the same wide range of running to pull the opponent's defense, don't rely on Wade's own impact, keep everyone having a chance to impact the opponent, don't let the ball stay in one person's hand for a long time First, Spoelstra began to use the personnel he could mobilize to design offensive routes.

Although there is no guarantee that this will work as well as when Lin Yi is on the court, it is better than relying on one person's performance after all. Even he himself is beginning to understand that he cannot underestimate those guys from Atlanta. This team fought the Celtics for seven games last year before deciding the winner.

Initially perfected his offensive intentions in the preparation, now what Spoelstra needs to consider is the opponent's offense. In a game, the opponent can score 90 points with that kind of shooting percentage. This is not only for the inside Completely lost, or their defensive system has almost collapsed.

The Eagles were able to take the initiative in the first game, relying more on their three young men with strong bodies in the frontcourt to charge. In addition to Hofford, Josh Smith took over. The dominance of the offense, plus Marvin Williams, they are basically running non-stop.

Using speed to overwhelm Raja Bell and Marion's direct line of defense, the Eagles played very smartly. They did not let Eagle King Joe Johnson single out Wade, but directly hit the rest of the Miami Heat's outer defensive position. Two points, they used crazy running to involve all the energy of these two people.

Spoelstra even needs to be thankful now. After all, Joe Johnson's performance in this game was not good, and Mike Bibby, who had convulsions from time to time, didn't fully fire, otherwise the Miami people would lose worse.

To limit the opponent, Joe Johnson was handed over to the old Raja Bell. As for the defense at the small forward position, in addition to requiring Marion to stand up to Josh Smith, Spoelstra was going to try to give it to him. The opponent sets up an ambush circle.

Just like the opponent double-teaming Wade, of course, what he needs to solve most now is the trouble inside. McDyess's disadvantage in physical confrontation makes Spoelstra prepare to use Magloire as the center forward. The big man can also limit opponents in height.

Haslem is ready to double-team at any time, and the old Horry has recovered from his injury. If necessary, he can let the old black hand go to the basket for a top. He no longer has the advantage in terms of body and age, but he is still clearly ahead of his opponent in terms of experience.

What the Miami Heat need to do most is to try to shrink their defensive space in the three-second zone. Don't let these eagles have the opportunity to spread their wings and fly high. They must try their best to protect the defensive rebounds. Appeared again, let people exceed more than 20 rebounds, what a fart!

Although Spoelstra tried his best to weave a trap for his opponent, he knew that this was just an act of desperation. If Lin Yi could be on the court, what kind of double-teaming would he need to let this kid go to the basket directly? Save trouble at the next stop, damn it, it's such a hassle now.

Damn the Celtics, damn the big fat man, these bastards deserved to lose, Spoelstra now has nothing else to do but curse a few words to relieve his anger, but he is not the only one who is cursing , After the Miami Heat lost the first game, there are already countless Heat supporters cursing Glenn Davis.

This poor fat man may one day be knocked down by the powerful resentment gathered in the city of Miami. In fact, it was really a not-so-beautiful misunderstanding, but this poor guy has innocently become a punching bag for all Miami fans. He must take responsibility for the Heat's first fiasco.

On April 4, the Miami people ushered in the second game of the first round of the playoffs at their home court. Facing the opponent who had beaten him in the previous game, every Miami player seemed to be a killer. Like red-eyed pit dogs, they used violent slam dunks to vent their anger that was about to emerge during warm-up.

After the first game, Wade once said in an interview, "We have too many low-level mistakes, and I myself have not been calm when handling the ball many times. If we want to win, we must make our own The mind is always in a calm state."

But at the beginning of the second game, the form on the court has nothing to do with the word calm, crazy close defense, fierce physical confrontation, every Miami player seems to be on fire from the body, on the court There is a physical oppressive confrontation in every corner of the game.

Moreover, the offensive force headed by Wade also controlled the situation on the court from the beginning of the first quarter. Breakthroughs, sudden points, empty-handed cuts, alley-oops, Wade entered the invincible mode as if he had already activated a cheating device, and It also shamelessly activated the three-point hack.

The Heat's offensive momentum today is so fierce that the opponent has almost no way to parry. The guy who is playing the vanguard is obviously Wade. Before halftime, the difference between the two teams has not been completely widened, but Wade was silent for a moment when he directly hit the opponent's morale with a wild attack.

If McGrady's 35 seconds is a miracle, then Wade's performance in the 3 minutes before the end of the half is no worse than him, at least in terms of efficiency, he is not lower than McGrady, 3 minutes, 13 points, 3 assists and 2 steals. In an instant, the point difference between the two teams was fixed at double digits.

In the third quarter of the game, when the Atlanta Hawks gradually approached the score within ten points, it was also Wade who used a three-pointer to destroy the opponent's idea of ​​trying to make a comeback. For garbage time, but the Miami people did not stop the pace of attack.

He made 20 of 11 shots in the game, including 10 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 33 points. Wade's score alone has already surpassed the sum of the opponent's two highest scorers. How to play, the Eagles, who had been elated in the last game, were directly burned into a bald chicken by the fierce attack of the Miamis.

108:88, this is the return gift from the Miami Heat to the Atlanta people, but this result does not seem to satisfy the madmen of the Miami Heat. Spoelstra still has no smile on his face. It seems that they don't feel much about such a victory. Only those in the locker room after the game can know why these lunatics are still sullen.

"Damn it, I obviously didn't award several free throws!" Wade leaned against the locker and muttered dissatisfiedly. He was obviously not satisfied with the score of 33 points.

"Okay, you've played pretty well, don't be too demanding on yourself, too much pressure is not good, at least we won the game." Lin Yi could only comfort the always sullen Flash.

"Come on, these bastards are still six points short of us! My lord, go to Atlanta for the next game and let them pay back their capital with interest!" Following Wade's cry, a group of lunatics also echoed, Lin Yi looked at the group of guys in front of him and scratched his head speechlessly.

After an extremely depressing game, the Miamis flooded their opponents with an equally crazy offensive frenzy without any mercy. This is the cruelty of the playoffs. They will not leave any opportunities for their opponents, and they will not Leave no dignity to the opponent.

As long as those who walk on this battlefield will engrave a fighting symbol in their minds, they will never relax from the beginning to the end of the game.

Looking at the date of the rehabilitation examination on the wall, Lin Yi is already counting down silently. This kind of battlefield is what he is looking forward to, and only when he proves himself in this kind of competition can he have the opportunity to stand on the final podium .

play. . .Lin Yi felt a little impatient. . .Maybe the moment this guy hits the floor is the moment the Heat will unleash their bloodiest offensive frenzy.

(One point...The Rockets lost today is really depressing...The Nuggets are mighty...PK lost the Spurs, Anthony exploded...)
