Chapter 606
On May 9, 1997, at 10 o'clock in the evening, New York Island Garden Arena.
After the Han people were slightly shamelessly defeated by the Heat, the second game today was about to begin, and the Island Garden Arena was still full, because these fans wanted to continue to support their teams, and the more they needed everyone's support in the most difficult times, so they all came.
Regarding this game, the fans on the scene also knew that the game was still impossible to escape the fate of losing, but the fans hoped that the Han people would still cheer up as soon as possible. At least they could lose the game but not the morale of the Han people. This is also the voice of all the fans on the scene.
Han people's head coach Paul Westfal was very uncomfortable before the game. How do you let him play 9-to-12? He not only has to limit the Heat's attack on the Han people's inside line in this game, but also has to keep the Han people's inside line from being punished by all six fouls.
The pressure is imaginable!
Paul Westfal only hopes that the Han people can play their tactical intentions like they did in training a few days ago. Of course, he also hopes that the Heat will not continue to attack the Han people's inside line as shamelessly as in the first game.
In this case, the Han people may have a little chance of winning.
The chance to win is the "one-star shooting" tactic proposed by Chief Assistant Coach Rick Carlisle. It can be said that everyone is happy. If they lose, there is nothing they can do about it. They are forced to this point, so what else can be said?
Sure enough, Paul Westfal arranged troops according to the "one-star shooting" tactic proposed by Chief Assistant Coach Rick Carlisle.
The Han people's starting lineup has changed, and now it has become: Sam Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Glen Rice, Jaylen Ross, Steve Nash.
It can be said that except for Jaylen Ross and Steve Nash not being very good at three-pointers, Sam Perkins and Glen Rice are both experts in three-pointers.
Kevin Garnett was used as a bridgehead as the "one-shot" star. The four people behind him were also separated on both sides, ready to take Kevin Garnett's pass and shoot.
What a simple truth! Just shoot when you catch the ball, and Kevin Garnett just grabs the rebound alone. If you can grab it, we will continue to shoot, and if you can't grab it, it won't be fine.
There are still a group of veterans sitting on the bench of the Han people. It can be said that Sam Perkins is the veteran in the starting lineup that the Han people line up today. Of course, there is nothing to do about it. The only substitutes in the inside are Buck Williams, who is even older than Sam Perkins, and no one will be allowed to join Sam Perkins.
In addition, Dell Curry, former Hornets scoring champion and Mark Jackson, who can organize, are both on the bench and ready. Only one of the starting players will be replaced if they are not in a good manner.
Anyway, the principle is one, that is, to adhere to the "one-star four-shot" tactic and not compete with the Heat in the penalty area in the inside line, as the Han people will not win.
As for the Heat, the same lineup as the first game: Rex Chapman, Tim Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, Kevin Willis, Chris Gatlin.
However, unlike the first game, the Heat's head coach Pat Riley was successfully elected in the league's best coach of the year announced a few days ago. But in this game, he didn't have any joy on his face. Why is this?!
By the way, this starts with Pat Riley getting the starting list of the Han people before the game.
"The list of starting players listed by the Han people today is quite interesting?!"
As a famous coach, Pat Riley suddenly saw the difference in the Han people's arrangement today, because the Han people actually gave up Mark Jackson who was seeking stability to start. You should know that if Mark Jackson plays the starter, he will slowly dribble the ball to delay time. In this way, even if the Han people lose, they will not lose too much. Most of the time is consumed in dribble. How long can they score more points?
The Han people actually did the opposite, which was indeed beyond Pat Riley's expectations.
"Maybe there is any conspiracy here?" Pat Riley murmured.
The more you are in this situation, the more you need to be cautious. Although the Han people now have basically no hope of victory against 9 and 12, there are not many cases in history where there are fewer and more. Be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years!
...
Sure enough, after the game started, Pat Riley was completely stupid. He didn't expect that the Han people would go all out and fight "one star"!
Watching the Han people frequently shoot mid-range and three-pointers on the court, Pat Riley was simply furious.
He did not expect that Paul Westfal would use such a tactic and not get too entangled with the Heat players. He gave the ball to Kevin Garnett in the penalty area in half, and then Kevin Garnett passed the ball to the surroundings as if he was not positioned. As long as anyone out of the position, Kevin Garnett's ball was immediately fed to the mouth. Finally, the player who ran out of the open position directly received the ball and shot it, and did not directly enter the inside line. That's it.
This is just an offense. Let’s talk about the defense of the Han people. The defense of the Han people still uses the previous tactics. The airing is fake. Once the Heat players attack the inside, Kevin Garnett and Sam Perkins only symbolically resisted and made way out. This is indeed a bit too much!
In short, Pat Riley was completely disgusted by the Han people today. This "one-star shot" tactic is really deadly. It's not that he doesn't limit the star in the "one-star shot" (Kevin Garnett), but he specifically suspended the tactics to double-team Kevin Garnett, and transferred the players who are marking Jaylen Ross or Sam Perkins to defend Kevin Garnett. But then he knew that the outside pitcher of the Han people today was completely cheating, and how to shoot mid-range and three-pointers, how can he play!
There is no way to play. If the Han Chinese subtitles are not going well, the Heat can still take advantage of the situation to win, but once they go crazy, everyone can imagine it.
"Maybe the Han people will really win this game!"
This is not only what Pat Riley thought, but also what the fans on the scene expected.
How great it would be if this were true!
The fans on the scene were very happy to see the "one-star four-shot" first show their power, because the Han people were not as passive as the first game. The first game was not only passive in the score, but also passive in the team's tactical morale. Today's game is different, and the passive one is the Heat!
Even Paul Westfal, who has been standing on the sidelines to watch the game progress, did not expect that the "one-star shot" effect would be so good. The team's condition is surprisingly good today, and the hand is so smooth!
"This is the tactic proposed by Rick. If you see it, this is already a breakthrough!"
"As long as the Han people don't get involved in the inside with the Heat, there will be no one who will be sent off today for too many fouls. In addition, today's hand-in-hand is so smooth, maybe there is a possibility of winning!"
Chapter completed!
