Chapter 503 Change of Tactics
"James!"
Coach Van Gundy immediately followed Qin Yang's train of thought.
The two defensive coaches looked at each other and nodded.
"This tactic is okay. The Heat look like the Big Three, but the core of this season is James. He holds the ball the most and passes the ball the best. As long as he is restricted, Dwyane Wade alone has nothing to do with the overall situation. Without Shaquille O'Neal, he alone cannot win the championship."
Another referee said so.
At the beginning, Wade performed superbly in the finals and won the championship with O'Neal. When he fell behind in the last quarter, he scored consecutively and directly reversed the game.
Many people are praising Wade's ability to lead the team.
In fact, the Heat's defense was very strong at the time, and there was Shaq O'Neal at the end of his peak inside. In this case, Wade could reverse the game and win the championship.
If James is locked, Wade has no way to win alone.
This is the tragedy of a pure scorer.
Even for Kobe, it is difficult to make the playoffs without helpers.
"Okay, then let's plan our tactics and hurry up to conduct tactical drills." Coach Van Gundy finally made a decision.
Whether this tactic will work or not is hard to say.
But after winning the first game, there is still a long time to adjust. Even if the second game is lost, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Before the home game, a one-to-one tie was originally expected by Coach Van Gundy.
In fact, against the Big Three of the Heat, a one-to-one tie in the away game is already a very good result.
After tactical training in the afternoon, the adjustment of the team's next game is very obvious.
Rudy Gay and Klay Thompson have been treated by Coach Van Gundy. As long as one of them plays, the only goal is to lock James.
Regardless of the others.
Wade open?
Don't switch, let him shoot.
Locking up James is a victory.
Casspi and Grant Hill also got a chance, and they will have more opportunities to play in the next game. The two will make their own contributions on the offensive end.
Even Hassan Whiteside will play more minutes next game.
Desperately training veterans, this is not the style of Coach Van Gundy.
The Kings made adjustments without anyone knowing.
……
Heat training ground.
Coach Spoelstra is still training players, Pat Riley is standing in the distance, watching the exchange between the Big Three.
Wade and James stand together.
"LeBron, I think we should make a change, play more aggressively, and cooperate with each other a little bit more."
Wade said in a low voice.
James nodded: "I'm worried about making mistakes and giving the opponent a chance, but if we don't play more united, this round of the series will be difficult to play. This year is our best chance to win the championship."
James has a good grasp of the situation.
In the first game, although the Heat lost, the loss was very strange. From the perspective of the battle situation, the Heat did not lose.
In the end, Qin Yang's performance was unprecedented in ten years, and he could only admit that he was unlucky.
In other words, the Heat have a great chance of winning this round of the series.
If you don't win, you fail.
The Big Three held together at their peak, and were defeated by the Mavericks in the first year, and then lost to the newly established Kings in the second year.
This Nima is a joke.
James was under a lot of pressure.
Wade is relatively purer and thinks less.
But there is no shortage of desire to win.
The two were on the training ground and began to conduct tactical drills, not to mention the cooperation between the two in running and passing.Two suspected superstars with the strongest impact are in the same team. It is actually very simple to divide the ball, but how to cooperate well is not easy for the two.
……
Both teams are walking and preparing.
Coach Pat Riley turned around and went back to the office. He sat in the office and watched the statistics of the last game. Pat Riley couldn't help sighing when he saw Qin Yang's performance.
Jingle Bell!
The phone rang and Pat Riley answered it.
"Hi, this is Pat Riley."
"Mr. Pat, here is a confidential piece of news about the Kings. I think you will be very interested." On the other end of the phone, an excited and eager voice sounded.
"Oh, what news?"
Pat Riley asked casually, not seeming to care.
"About Seattle and the Kings, this news, I want $50. I don't think $50 is a lot for an NBA champion. What do you think, Mr. Pat Riley?"
"Okay, but I need something more detailed."
Pat Riley hesitated, then replied.
"Of course, it would be a wise choice."
On June 6, in the second game of the finals, the Kings played away against the Heat.
Before the game, when interviewed, the Heat were united.
James:
"We are ready. We will definitely win this game. Besides, we have no way out. For the Heat, no championship is failure."
Wade: "We will contribute our best self and defend the home honor."
Bosh: "The last game was just an accident. In this game, we will determine the advantage as soon as possible and will not give Bruce any chance to reverse."
……
But when the Kings were interviewed, their mentality was very peaceful.
Coach Van Gundy: "The win in the last game was not so convincing, so we decided to change our tactics in this game. I hope this will bring us new changes."
Qin Yang:
"I think it's going to be a good performance and God only knows."
……
Game start.
But when the starting lineup appeared on the court, the commentators were shocked, because the Kings starting lineup changed a lot today.
Qin Yang, Ray Allen, Klay Thompson, Darko and Cousins started.
Compared with the lineup of Francisco Garcia and Rudy Gay in the last game, this starting defense is relatively weak.
Kenny Smith:
"This starting is a bit special. If the Kings do not do well on the defensive end, they are likely to be penetrated by James and Wade."
Charles Barkley:
"Yes, with such a lineup, the Kings' outside line has obviously weakened a lot on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the Kings are also very strong. This is an opportunity."
"I think the Heat will win, you bet?"
"Thirty dollars, I bet the Kings win?"
"Why not $[-], I think I have more confidence in the Heat."
"Kenny, you're going to teach bad kids that gambling is not a good thing."
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith talked about cross talk, and the competition began.
On the first ball, Cousins still succeeded in jumping the ball without any suspense. Bosh tried hard to jump the ball, but there was no way for the absolute bounce gap.
Qin Yang held the ball, and after dribbling for half court, Klay Thompson came up as a screen.
After covering, Qin Yang broke through directly.
Wade stepped forward to help defend, Qin Yang slowly dribbled the ball, pretending to break through the inside line, and then changed his rhythm and shot directly from the middle distance.
Hit the board at 45 degrees in the middle distance.
Wade jumped a step slower.
Qin Yang scored the first goal like a dog.
