Chapter 361 Killing the Heat So Simple(2/3)
And King Nowitzki is looking for revenge against the Heat.
After six years of reincarnation, Nowitzki finally got a chance.
"As expected, Nowitzki is not convinced. I will still kill you this year." Dwyane Wade said to King Nowitzki coldly.
Nowitzki's eyes were sharp, and he stared directly at Wade: "Then give it a try."
Fan Xi has never seen Nowitzki with such a "vicious" attitude.
He didn't expect that his casual trash talk would lead to this old incident.
Back at halftime, Wade once again entered the paint area. Nowitzki stood upright outside the reasonable collision area. He was knocked over by Wade.
This time, the referee did not blow the blocking foul again, but fairly gave the whistle for Wade's offensive foul.
This is a key defense.
The Clippers also took advantage of the situation and replaced Billups with Arenas, and Fanci dribbled the ball through halftime.
When Fanci dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Nowitzki came up to cover Fanci. Fanci drove into the free throw line. Then he made a long pass and handed the basketball to Arenas who ran to the bottom corner.
Arenas catches the ball and shoots...whoops!
Three-point hit.
The score difference moves in an uncontrollable direction.
Miami was not expecting it.
At this time, Charles Barkley figured out some flavors first. He said to Kenny Smith: "Jack just passed the ball, did you taste anything?"
"Does it look like Stockton's pass to Hornacek? This time it's a complete replica of the Utah Jazz's tactics."
Charles Barkley said confidently.
He is too familiar with the Utah duo of the same era, when Karl Malone and Stockton could be said to have swept the Western Conference.
The peaks of Charles Barkley and Utah overlapped. Although they were both victims of the Jordan era, they also had strong competition with each other. It's just that... Barkley never competed with the peak Jazz, even if he couldn't beat them later, he joined the Rockets.
Kenny Smith watched the replay, and he was also surprised to find: "If you don't tell me, I didn't notice it. It's really very similar, the way of passing, the timing of breakthrough, the rhythm of passing... simple, natural. This is
Stockton’s moves. I remember Jack asked Stockton for advice during the regular season last year. Did he learn this at that time?”
Smith was muttering.
At this time, the game has already continued.
James rushed into the paint area, and Leonard was the main defender. However, in the process, his basketball was slapped by Fan Xi, which caused his layup to be a little short. The basketball hit the front of the basket and the rebound was collected by Jordan.
Down.
Then he passed it to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi dribbled the ball across half court.
He pushed forward steadily.
Reaching the top of the three-point arc, Nowitzki stepped forward to cover, and then Fanxi broke into the free throw line, attracted a double attack and passed the ball. Nowitzki hit a high jumper.
"Pick-and-roll tactics!!!"
Pat Riley's eyes were full of horror.
Every point guard knows the pick-and-roll tactic, but Fan Xi was not good at it in the past. But now, the ball distribution after the pick-and-roll is so perfect. Although it looks ordinary to ordinary people, to an insider...it is so perfect.
Fan Xi's control of timing and intensity of passing games have reached their peak.
He caught Miami's defensive gap, and he put Nowitzki in the perfect rhythm.
Why is Karl Malone the most scoring power forward?
He doesn't have many attack methods.
The reason is that Stockton feeds the ball well.
Nowitzki's offensive ability is undoubtedly better than Karl Malone's. He has so many moves that he can use, facing the basket and back to the basket. He is considered a master of the previous generation.
If Fanci really has Stockton's pick-and-roll skills.
Miami is dead.
Pat Riley took a deep breath, his entire spine was covered with cold sweat.
The female fans in front of the TV didn't know why this mediocre assist made the TV commentator scream.
But Kobe Bryant, who was sitting in front of the TV, held his forehead. He originally thought that if time could be turned back and the Lakers played his way, he would not be injured and it would be certain that he would win the Clippers.
But now, when Fan Xi uses this trick.
He realized that even if time went back and the Lakers had no problems, the Lakers' success rate in winning the series would not exceed 50%.
Chris Paul was even dumbfounded in front of another TV. He gave Miami a lot of ideas. He thought he had a thorough research on Fanshie.
But he never dreamed that Fanshie would have such an astonishing improvement in his organizational ability. He passed the ball once to Arenas and once to Nowitzki. As the top point guard in history, Paul has a very clear understanding of the logic of basketball operations.
OK, he knew exactly what those two mediocre screen passes meant.
The realm of the master.
In the past, he always said that Fanci was not a real point guard.
Now, he can no longer speak.
Because even he himself is not sure he can pass the ball better.
Miami will lose.
If the Clippers didn't have their three major rotations missing, Miami would even lose miserably.
Chris Paul made this judgment, and then murmured to himself: "Why is this guy able to focus so calmly on the game itself when he has made such a big news and public opinion?"
Paul thought he had excellent psychological quality, but he didn't expect Fan Xi to be so good.
The game continues.
The Big Three are not vegetarians.
They also formed high-quality pick-and-rolls, and James and Wade frequently triggered the famous James-Williams connection during defensive counterattacks. Their wonderful performance made the audience burst into cheers.
However, it doesn't make much sense.
During halftime, James said he would beat the Clippers to collapse in the third quarter and then massacre them in the fourth quarter.
Now, it's the Heat that are collapsing.
After the third quarter, the Clippers led by 19 points.
This is the silent leadership of moisturizing things.
Fanci and Nowitzki no longer concealed their pick-and-roll tactics. Two super powerful attacking individuals formed a tacit partnership in the form of pick-and-roll. Fanci used his ordinary but extremely practical tactics to make Nowitzki's
The personal offensive ability was perfectly released, and the virtuous cycle formed by the two allowed Arenas, Leonard, DeAndre Jordan, and then Hamilton and Grant Hill to be perfectly integrated.
The Clippers form a real attack system and are an attack group with great combat effectiveness.
Miami was unable to establish a counterattack mode in a short period of time. They could only continue to unleash their abilities, so they played many highlight moments.
But the highlight moments can't save them.
They are like people who are struggling hard but sinking deeper and deeper into non-Newtonian fluids.
Coach Spoelstra was at a loss on the bench as he and the coaching staff struggled to find answers.
In fact, there is a ready answer.
The Chicago Bulls' triangle offense defeated the Jazz twice in the Finals that year.
The current composition of the Heat is very similar to that of the Bulls, with two superstars partnering on the forward and defensive lines, as well as inside shooters, inside blue-collar workers, and a quasi-elite point guard.
So, when the fourth quarter started, they made some strategic adjustments to try to make themselves more like the Bulls of the 1990s.
It's a pity that it's neither fish nor fowl.
Even though they were very tight on the defensive end, Camby was no Rodman in the paint.
Rodman was an underrated super talent who often went out of his way to save games when Jordan wasn't playing well.
But Camby pushed Fansheed with his hands with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
At that time, Fanci was once again hunting the penalty area. He made perfect aerial movements in the air, used his pull rod to dodge the front and back attacks of Camby and James, and picked the basketball into the basket with his left hand.
After scoring a goal.
Canby couldn't stand it anymore and gave Fan Xi a hard push.
Then, the Heat players hugged him, fearing that he was irrational.
The referee called him a technical foul, and Spoelstra quickly put him on the bench and replaced James and Wade.
A 27-point deficit made them admit defeat.
This is in sharp contrast to their arrogance before the game.
At that time, everyone thought it would be a one-sided massacre, and some experts even predicted that it would create the largest point difference in the finals.
To be continued...
