Chapter 315: 313. See Through
Playing against Pat Riley's team is torture, and every time you play against the Heat, it's so hard.
Regardless of how the Eagles speed up and counterattack, when the Heat are attacking, Rod Strickland slowly moves over and slowly organizes the attack.
Liu Mang is really looking forward to Pat Riley stepping down to the position of general manager because of his poor performance, and giving up the position of head coach to Stan Van Gundy. Although they are all defensive coaches, Stan Van Gundy's style of play is unique The tactic of a super center and four pitchers is still defensive, but the offensive end still has a rhythm, unlike Pat Riley, even in the championship year of the 2005-06 season, with O'Neal and Wade. Limit the total number of field goal attempts in a game to 150.
Now there is no super scorer, and the Heat's total shots in a game are only about 140. They have about 70 shots and their opponents have over 70 shots.
Liu Mang has never had a chance to dunk, mainly because today's game against the Heat was a little different. The last time they played against the Heat, the Heat's players relied on their defensive habits of quickly retreating to find a way to deal with the Eagles. The team's cavalry tactical approach, this game Pat Riley seems to consciously start targeting defense.
"Pat, didn't you say you wanted to see the new tactics of the Eagles? Why do you want to take the initiative to deal with them?" Stan Van Gundy was puzzled again.
Pat Riley looked at this incompetent student, feeling very sad. He worked very hard, and he knew how to ask questions, but he was a bit too stupid and lacked the ability to learn independently!
Pat Riley is going to give this student the position of head coach after getting good seedlings after he has done bad things in the past two years, but now he is really hesitant about this decision that he has made a long time ago!
But his disciples who have been brought up from a video editor to the present are always reluctant to scold, Pat Riley patiently explained: "We will not keep doing badly, we will deal with this new tactic in the future, although we can't beat it now , but also try to find their weaknesses, in the future..."
Just as Pat Riley explained to Van Gundy, the Heat began to rely on their own mobility to put strong defensive pressure on the Eagles' cavalry tactics.
After seeing the new tactics of the Eagles for the first time, Pat Riley became more determined that there will definitely be a tactical system without positional differences in the future, so whether it is learning their offense or trying to defend them, it is a preparation for the future .
Pat Riley's response to the Eagles sending out the cavalry lineup is to collectively return to defense, block people to defend against cuts, shrink the basket, and block three-pointers alone
The Heat's lineup can really do this. The tallest in their lineup is Mourning, who is only 2.08 meters. Although Mourning's explosive power has been greatly reduced due to kidney disease, his speed is still very fast, not worse than Muhammad and Newbell. , A way for five players to quickly return to defense to put pressure on the Eagles at each stage.
As a result, Liu Mang couldn't find any opportunities to dunk, and he was under pressure to find an open space to follow up during the counterattack, so he simply put aside the task and devoted himself to the game.
The Eagles still have a strength advantage, and their offensive style of play has already taken shape. This is their advantage against the Heat. The Heat mainly defend with a slow pace and half-court defense with constant pressure. The main reason is that the pace is slow. Generally speaking, when Ratliff is on the court for the Hawks, the defensive efficiency of the two teams is not much different. It is the difference in rhythm, and the efficiency and strength of the defensive end are not much worse.
...
After halftime, it was another low-scoring game. The Eagles led the Heat 44 to 39 by 5 points to end the halftime game.
Liu Mang scored 9 points and 3 assists in the first half. Looking at the situation that has been unable to open, he is also a little anxious.
Coach Kruger is not very optimistic about the situation on the court. Of course, the chances of winning are very high. The Eagles still have a chance of winning, and they are very high. However, they are dragged down by the Heat, and they will have a back-to-back battle with the Heat tomorrow. , and then take a day off to go to Dallas to fight the Mavericks...
In the first half, Coach Kruger tried various speed-ups, and even sent out the inside combination of Raheem and Newbell at one point, but the opponent immediately responded positively, defeating the Golden State Heavy Machine Gun who was the first generation of the Warriors to run and bomb. Reece Gatlin is replaced. This is a real fast gun. The earliest 3D type player. Although he has no three-point ability, he moves fast and has a mid-range shot. The main reason is that he is good at defense. The Heat also sent a small lineup.
Obviously, the Heat sincerely want to break the wrist with the Eagles.
Coach Kruger didn't know why the Heat suddenly made up badly, and he didn't know that Pat Riley actually wanted to see what changes had been made to the Eagles' cavalry tactics.
But even if he knows it, it will not affect the adjustments made by Coach Kruger. The basketball game is a game that studies the opponent's style of play and then makes a response.
However, after looking at the statistics of the Heat in the first half, Coach Kruger discovered a problem.
Playing the Heat doesn't necessarily have to be against their rhythm!
In the first half, the Heat restrained the Eagles' cavalry tactics very well, mainly because the Heat were not tall overall and had a short center who moved quickly.
But when the Heat replaced a short center, their inside defensive efficiency dropped a lot!
Liu Mang caused two fouls at the basket and another 2+1. Rahim's strong play from the second quarter was also more efficient than when Mourning was in the first quarter. The pick-and-roll efficiency after the position is much higher.
This made Coach Kruger's eyes shine!
Change tactics! Big lineup go!
...
The half-time break ended, and the Eagles, amidst the little doubts of the players, suddenly changed their regular play style and lineup. The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Mohammed, and Tliff's big lineup.
This lineup can't get up quickly. It is the most stable lineup used to hold the lineup when leading the end of the second, third, and fourth quarters, not the impact lineup when the score is opened.
But it was this lineup that made Pat Riley on the Heat's bench unable to stop smiling.
"This rookie coach is really good!" Pat Riley did not expect Coach Kruger to see the biggest problem for the Heat now.
The Heat's slow-paced, defensively active style of play is very good at dealing with fast-paced teams, because fast-paced teams will definitely speed up endlessly when they encounter such slow-paced teams. In a slow pace, the fast-paced team's own rhythm will be lost.
As for the Heat, they don't have an offensive rhythm at all, so they just want to defend to the death, so it seems that the Heat's defensive style of play is very incomprehensible, and in the end they can only try to kill them with stronger firepower.
But if the opponent's position is good, and they play steadily, just like that, the Heat really have no way to overtake, and their best scorer Eddie Jones is not the kind of player who has the ability to open up embarrassing situations. There are stars who can play well in positional battles. The Heat don't have much to do but keep the scene from being unsightly.
Now that the rookie coach of the Eagles has discovered this, there is no need for Pat Riley to continue this pair, or to deliberately play it badly. Pat Riley wants to compete with this really talented college coach!
