Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After a warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the field.

Coach Collins frowned and didn't speak in a hurry, because the gap between the two teams was a bit big, so he didn't know how to arrange it.

"On the defensive end, we have to shrink the line of defense." He said after a while: "I would rather let the opponent shoot a three-pointer than let the opponent break through."

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, this is indeed a solution.

James and Wade are both very good players, superstars, one-on-one with the 76ers, no one can stop them, Wade has the nickname "The Flash", his breakthrough is very sharp, not to mention James, tank Breakthrough, letting him rush up is almost equal to the end.

But both have a problem, and that is bad 3-point shooting.

James's three-pointers are notoriously unstable, and Wade has a sharp breakthrough and a good mid-range, but in the past few seasons, he has made very few three-pointers, averaging only one or two per game. And for several seasons, the three-point shooting rate was less than 30%, even worse than James.

Therefore, shrinking the defense line and preferring to let the opponent shoot a three-pointer rather than give the opponent a breakthrough is indeed a good way.

Moreover, shrinking the defense line can also have some restrictions on Bosh. After all, no one in the 76ers team can be on the top of Bosh at this point.

"On the offensive end..." Coach Collins added: "We have to pass more, run more, and play more tactics, understand?"

This is also helpless. Wade and James are both very good defensemen. The two superstars are also people who have been in the "best defensive team" year after year. Against them one-on-one, even Iguodala would struggle, let alone other players.

It would be better if the Sixers were an inside team and avoided Janeway.

But the 76ers are a perimeter team.

After some arrangements, Coach Collins frowned and felt very depressed. He was tied up against the Heat, feeling that he was restricted everywhere, whether it was offense or defense.

"Hey..." Coach Collins sighed secretly.

Not far away, Heat coach Spoelstra is also making arrangements.

For him, it is relatively simple. The team is full of talented people. Three superstars. He can use them however he wants. , I see how you want to defend?

"Just play like this." After arranging the tactics, Coach Spoelstra clapped his hands with a serious expression, "Play hard, we must win this game today."

"Yes."

"clear."

The players all agree.

At this time the game officially started.

The starting lineup for the 76ers is Hawes, Nosinho, Brand, Andre Iguodala and Holiday.

The Heat's starting lineup is center Joel Anthony, power forward Chris Bosh, small forward LeBron James, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, and point guard Carlos Arroyo.

First jump ball, Hawes slaps the ball to the backcourt, the 76ers get the ball and start the offense...

Qin Hao sat on the sidelines, watching the games on the court. There was nothing wrong with Coach Collins' arrangement, but after all, they were the Big Three of the Heat. Is it that easy to deal with?

boom!

With a muffled sound, the 76ers attacked.

Bosh won the rebound and passed it to Arroyo. Arroyo handed the ball to James in the frontcourt. James is the real organizer, and he is indeed more organized than Arroyo.

The Heat's play style is very simple, that is, the Big Three fire in turn, you hit me, I hit the next, simple but effective.

Seeing the 76ers shrink their defense line and make it clear that they want to limit their breakthroughs, James is not in a hurry and passes the ball to Wade. Wade asked for a pick-and-roll after receiving the ball, got rid of Iguodala's defense, and moved it to the side. One step is directly a three-point shot.

"Shh!"

With a bang, the ball went in.

Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat when he saw this ball.

Just yesterday, the Heat lost to the Celtics. Wade played very badly. He made 4 of 16 shots, only 25% from the field. Looking at the ball just now, Wade made such a resolute shot, obviously. Wade is bound to win today's game, and he won't allow himself to play two consecutive games.

Moreover, the first three-point shot went in.

Wade is not good at shooting 3-pointers!

"The situation is not good." Qin Hao frowned.

"Yeah." Lu Wei nodded, and he also had a premonition that something was wrong.

In the next few minutes, James broke through again and again, or forced layups, or made a sudden point from the outside, and gave it to Wade or other teammates, and Wade felt very good today, and made a three-pointer from the outside at the beginning. The ball, followed by consecutive mid-range hits, including a one-handed throw from horseback archery, which was very difficult, but he still scored.

At the same time, Bosh was pulled beyond the arc, allowing James to break through and also be a shooting point.

And Bosh is an inside player with excellent shooting ability, accurate mid-range shots, and even three-pointers.

For a time, the 76ers were shot through by the Heat from the outside.

Shrinking the defense gave the Heat a lot of outside shooting opportunities, and Wade and Bosh, who didn't play well in the last game, both felt very good today, which made the 76ers depressed.

If you fight the Celtics, you will do your best, and if you fight us, you will hit hard. Why?

And, the Sixers had trouble on offense.

The 76ers' offense mainly relies on the outside line. The scoring in the starting lineup is mainly concentrated on Holiday, Iguodala, and Brand. Iguodala and Brand can't be used by Wade and James. Le Di's performance is okay, but it's hard to support it alone.

Can he carry the 76ers offense alone?

The answer is no!

"Snapped!"

Brand made a layup and was blocked by James. James took advantage of the opportunity to get the rebound and started a fast break. He only took a step forward, and then suddenly pushed the ball forward.

"Come on." Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat, he was still thinking about "Zhan Wei connection" before.

I saw the basketball spanned more than half of the court, passing players one by one, and people's attention shifted with the basketball. Only then did they realize that Wade was almost down and reached the half court of the 76ers.

At this time, the players of the 76ers hadn't reacted, and it was too late to prepare to catch up when they saw James' long pass.

I saw Wade turned his head and glanced, slowed down a little, reached out and grabbed the basketball, and taking advantage of the trend was a dunk.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, Wade hung the frame with both hands and bent the basket downwards. You could even see that the entire basketball hoop was shaking.

There was an exclamation from the audience.

After this dunk, the score became 16:7, the Heat had a 9-point lead, and only five minutes had passed in the first quarter, less than half.
