Chapter 351 ESPN's prediction is accurate!(2/3)
Most of the time before the Nets, from the preseason to the first half of this game, they basically used the UCLA pick-and-roll.
There is no other reason for this, because this is an offensive method that can involve the whole team.
Similar to the definition of the triangle offense, role player participation is very important in the game.
If you know that there is no chance of taking a shot on the court, it will be a devastating blow to the enthusiasm of the role players on the court.
And it turns out that tactic is enough.
The variability of UCLA's pick-and-roll, as well as some fine-tuning made by Sloan, are the basis of Sloan's pick-and-roll tactics.
But this two-person turn is the real killing move.
When the two players in the duo are good enough, the defender will always have to face the problem of choosing one of the two poisons.
This is why even without Sloan last season, the Nets were able to perform at a certain level in pick-and-rolls.
Stockton Malone, Duncan Parker, Nash Stoudemire...that's all!
And after returning to the defensive end, the Nets' defense was obviously better than before.
No one wants to be the first person to be trolled by Sloan who is standing on the sidelines right now!
And by this time, the meaning of Deron's midfielder's reminder, or what Lin Ying said before the game, became clear.
The Heat are not weak and cannot be slaughtered by others.
It was precisely because of those words that after the Heat took off, instead of panicking, they became...excited!
You see, they are not dead fish, they will resist!
"Bang!"
Lawson's pick-and-roll breakthrough was blocked by Chandler's slap!
Johnson reacted quickly to grab the ball and passed it to Lin Ying.
Lin Ying strides like a meteor, running thousands of miles!
Batum is in hot pursuit.
The two of them went from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Lin Ying jumped up inside the free throw, and Batum also jumped up.
Lin Ying jumped up and shot a layup at the same time. After an aerial confrontation, he used a lever with one hand to avoid Batum's block and glided into a basket.
Grover's training always works!
"Whoa!"
The basketball is like an elf dancing on the fingertips, pulling the hem of the skirt and leaping lightly into the net.
How can he be so handsome!
This was the inner thought of many fans at the scene, but of course they did not shout it out.
Fans who wanted to see the Nets joke but couldn't stand it had already left the venue, and the rest were loyal Heat fans.
The difference between admiration and cheating is whether you take action, even if you are extremely itchy!
62 to 35.
The Nets have widened the point difference again!
And Nets fans enjoyed watching this segment.
When the team's overall performance was good and the situation was going well, Lin Ying was more focused on organization and defense. He only took 5 shots in the first half, scoring 9 points on 4-of-5, but also sent 6 assists.
When the team's situation was unfavorable and they started to be chased for points, Lin Ying immediately stepped forward!
This is not a unique characteristic of Lin Ying and the Nets, but... a common characteristic of top teams!
Just like the Lakers in the 2008-10 seasons, Kobe usually didn't attack much in the beginning (shared by Caron Butler back then).
For a truly top team, the team boss will not be too busy collecting statistics.
"Whoa!"
Anthony moved without the ball and received a pass from Batum and scored another goal.
The Heat's counterattack momentum in the second half is still there.
Lin Ying and Deron continued to pick and roll in the frontcourt. This time they really did the pick and roll, and they were playing outside.
After Deron's pass, Lin Ying deceived Lawson with a fake shot, pulled the ball back, turned around and shot.
In fact, this ball could not be blocked by Lawson directly, but Lin Ying still gave Lawson some defensive respect.
Just like Durant can obviously pull up and change direction for defensive players.
Creating better shots is one thing, but respecting defensive players is also important.
"Whoa!"
Lin Ying, scored 6 points in a row after coming up in the second half!
The corners of Spoelstra's mouth raised, revealing a helpless smile.
The first half of the game between the two teams felt like they were trying to make sense, but the Heat couldn't.
In the second half, the Heat finally found something and could talk to the Nets, but the Nets started to act hooligans!
Fortunately, Anthony broke through again and drew a defensive foul from Yi Jianlian.
There was a whistle on the sidelines, and Kirilenko came on to replace Yi Jianlian.
Sloan's response was also very quick.
The Nets now have many players who can play, but the reason why Yi Jianlian is still the starter is because in UCLA's pick-and-roll, they need an insider with good pick-and-roll quality and stable shooting.
The only players in the Nets who meet this point are Yi Jianlian and Brand, but Brand has shown his defensive disadvantages in the first half, so Yi Jianlian becomes the only candidate.
And to be honest, with the Nets' current salary structure, this position cannot be upgraded.
But now that UCLA tactics are no longer used on the court, Yi Jianlian's role is not as good as Kirilenko or Battier.
The richest battle does not just mean that there are many people playing, but that these people can not only fight, but also have different styles and can show off their micro skills!
Lin Ying made another breakthrough shot after the pick-and-roll and caused a foul, but unfortunately the ball did not score.
What's very interesting is that at the moment when the ball went wide, there were still sounds of regret from some fans at the scene.
Lin Ying made two free throws and scored 8 points in the second half.
68 to 39.
The point difference will soon exceed 30!
The Heat haven't given up yet.
Anthony continued to run without the ball, but he couldn't get rid of Kirilenko.
Kirilenko continued his hot streak in the Olympics.
Seeing that Anthony couldn't get rid of it, he directly leaned against Kirilenko and asked for the ball.
After gaining weight, he played the fourth position, and post-up play was his strength.
Moreover, a defensive player like Kirilenko is not very strong in individual defense.
His judgment was correct.
After successfully avoiding interference and getting the ball, Kirilenko couldn't withstand his back blow.
Seizing an opportunity, he turned around and headed towards the basket.
And before turning around, he had already observed Lin Ying's defensive position, and Lin Ying had no time to help defend.
All his judgments were correct, except for Chandler.
Chandler decisively gave up on McGee's defense and came directly to help defend!
If it were Lin Ying or James, he would just catch the ball and throw it into the sky;
Or switch to Durant, who has slightly inferior hand skills, and can at least pass the ball to McGee with one hit.
But unfortunately this was Anthony, who chose to take action after confronting Chandler.
He is very confident and has enough reasons to be confident. He did not lose his balance after confronting Chandler and even completed a very good shot.
only……
"Crack!"
Kirilenko came out from behind his head and pocketed the ball directly!
AK47's single defense is indeed almost boring, but his assist defense is monster level!
This shot confused the rest of the Heat team.
Then, when Lin Ying rushed out, the others reacted.
But, it's too late.
Although Lin Ying doesn't have rockets at his feet like Westbrook, he has long legs and big strides.
