Chapter 220: A good leader can make an ordinary team shine like a super team! The difference between
Christmas game, Basketball Spring Festival Gala.
Although Breaking the Sky is just a regular season game, it is still somewhat special because of its extremely high level of attention.
After all, no one wants to lose to their archenemy in front of everyone.
James has been waiting for Christmas Eve this year for a long time. From the day the schedule came out, he has been counting the days on his fingers, hoping to have a showdown with Ryan.
Because in his opinion, this is the season in which he is closest to killing Ryan!
James at this time is actually a bit like Anthony in the original history.
In the original history, when Anthony and James first entered the league, in the eyes of fans, they were able to compete in the future and were on the same level.
However, as time went by, Anthony gradually fell behind.
Although he is indeed one of the best scorers in the league, although he also led the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals once in the 2009 season.
But it is undeniable that the gap between him and James is indeed getting wider and wider.
In this history, James took the path that originally belonged to Angua.
When he first entered the league, people kept comparing Ryan and James.
They both feel that they are players of the same level and that they can dominate the league in the future.
As time went by, they both became gods.
Ryan is the god of basketball, and James has become synonymous with the clown god!
The difference is that Angua in the original history does not seem to have such strong ambitions to overtake Ajan, and he seems quite content to make money in New York with peace of mind.
But Ajan, he wants to surpass Ryan all the time!
Although he has three fewer rings than Ryan, Ajan still looks forward to stepping on Ryan's head one day!
So after joining the Heat, what James fantasized about the most was to defeat Ryan from the front.
This time, the fantasy finally has a chance to become reality.
A Zhan must hold it firmly!
On Christmas morning, when Kelly Piquet opened her eyes, she was alone on the big bed.
After she woke up, she rubbed her eyes, walked out of the room, and came to the living room of the hotel suite.
Sure enough, Ryan was already eating breakfast and watching the morning news.
After hearing the noise, Ryan turned his head and looked at the bedroom door, and immediately stopped taking the bread:
"Kelly, how many times have I told you to keep your clothes on, even when it's just the two of us!"
"That's not what you said when you stripped me naked last night."
"You said you had chest tightness last night, so I checked it for you."
"Ah, yes! Thank you so much, Doctor Lane!"
After that, Kelly walked to the dining table and sat on Ryan's lap.
Kelly has officially been in a relationship with Ryan since One Night in Paris .
This super rich second generation successfully used his sincerity and a few hundred million dollars to find the partner of his dreams.
It's normal to spend a little money chasing boys.
And since being with Ryan, Kelly's heart has been filled and her core has been filled.
And Kelly's feeling is becoming more and more addictive!
All we can say is, like father, like daughter.
No, now when Ryan plays away games, she will accompany him. And just after waking up, Kelly was rubbing against Ryan like a little wild cat.
But after kissing Ryan, Kelly stood up on his own initiative:
"Okay, today I don't want you to be too tired before the game starts.
Go get LeBron first, my Lion.
After you win the game, we will discuss some new knowledge"
Even Kelly knew there was nothing unusual about tonight's game.
If Ryan loses tonight, will that guy named LeBron still have to raise his butt to the sky?
On the other side, James also rejected Wade on the phone for tonight's duel with Ryan:
"Forget it Dwayne, just don't want it this morning? It's not good."
"Hey, who said it was so good last night? You turned your back on me this morning? LeBron, you are such a scumbag."
"Last night was last night, but today is really not possible. Tonight, what awaits us is destined to be a fierce battle!
I'm sorry, Dwayne. After tonight, I will promise you whatever you want. "
The more Wade listened, the more something was wrong. No, I just asked you to go to a spa. Why did it come out of your mouth as if we were doing something dirty?
Did going to the spa delay your fight with Ryan?
James is mainly afraid that he will be too relaxed and unable to enter the state at night.
Today, he must ensure that his nerves are always tense and he must not slack off at all!
James and Ryan, both of them attach great importance to this game.
They have to respond to the game at 100%, and then completely kill each other!
In the afternoon, Ryan and his teammates had already set off from the hotel and headed to the American Airlines Center.
Although it was only the regular season, when the Nuggets players arrived at the entrance of the American Airlines Center, they saw all Miami fans uniformly wearing white T-shirts.
Miami fans did not regard this as an ordinary regular season at all. In their view, the finals had already started early!
Heat fans hate the Nuggets as much as James does.
In 2006, Ryan won his first championship at the American Airlines Center.
So this time, Heat fans hope that the team can settle old and new grudges together!
After eating, Ryan entered the physical therapy room in the locker room and prepared to give his muscles a relaxing massage.
When Ryan entered, Wesley Matthews and Lowry were also lying in the physical therapy room.
Originally, he wanted to have a quiet massage and rest for a while, but Ryan kept hearing the physical therapist telling Matthews to relax and couldn't sleep at all:
"Brother, this is not your first time here. Why are you so nervous?"
"It's okay, just relax."
"Why do you get so hard all over when I touch you?"
Ryan was speechless. The massages arranged by the team were all pure green and all were male technicians!
But those who didn't know the conversation between the two thought they were entering some kind of irregular massage parlor!
Ryan then looked up at Matthews curiously: "Why are you nervous?"
"Nervous? I'm not nervous at all? I'm just a little unable to relax!"
Ryan:.
Doesn’t this mean the same thing?
After Wesley Matthews finished speaking, he sat up directly, waved his hand to indicate that he did not want the massage, and then took the basketball and went directly to the court to warm up.
Lori and Ryan looked at each other and shrugged.
Lori patted his forehead, as if he remembered something:
"Speaking of which, this kid seems to have been unusual yesterday.
When I asked him to play games last night, he actually said he was watching Wade's game tape.
Usually, we have seen enough videos of Wade.
Do you think he is a little too nervous? "
Ryan then remembered that Wade seemed to be the first superstar Matthews faced.
Although the Nuggets have played 30 games this season, the team has not encountered many No. 2 superstars.
Ray Allen is considered one, but Gentleman Ray's style of play is relatively gentle after all, and he is not that scary when playing.
Ray Allen is like a teenage girl in her twenties. You know she wants it very much, but you also know she won't do anything too radical, so it's not too scary.
As for Wade, he is like a thirty-year-old divorced young woman. Whenever she gets a chance, she will use the most violent and radical method to completely conquer you.
As an undrafted player, it is normal for Matthews to feel nervous against such a giant for the first time.
At this time, Matthews walked to the basketball court where there were few people and started shooting from outside the three-point line.
He was definitely nervous about this game.
Of course, Matthews was not nervous because he was afraid of Wade.
What he fears is holding the team back.
On the Heat's side, the power of the Big Three was fully demonstrated in the last game.
The Lakers suffered a disastrous defeat in the last game, and Kobe in particular seemed to be unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with two fists.
No, the Heat don't have four hands, but six hands!
In the last game between Kobe and Wade, although his shooting percentage was not high, he could still be considered a match against Wade.
If the Heat only had Wade, or only Wade + Bosh, they really wouldn't necessarily lose.
But it just so happens that in addition to Wade and Bosh, the Heat also have another James.
In the last game, Barnes was completely destroyed by James.
So in the end, Kobe was defeated miserably in the Christmas game, and the dignity of the defending champion was lost.
The same is true today. Ryan's task is to confront James.
And if Matthews can't hold down Wade, then all Ryan's efforts will be in vain.
This is the scary thing about the Heat. For other teams, you only need to hold down one point and two points.
But against the Heat, they have three offensive strengths!
Matthews doesn't want the team to lose because of this.
But to his despair, after watching so many videos of Wade's games, Matthews found that it was almost impossible to restrict Wade through tactical means.
Wade's breakthrough is too strong, with both speed and confrontation.
As for the Nuggets' inside line, frame protection is another weakness.
In the 2006 Finals, Ryan could still use Wade's "shooting from left to right" characteristics to lock down Wade, but now the Flash has already evolved.
Not to mention that his mid-range shooting is already proficient, and his experience has made him even more difficult to figure out.
He can suddenly stop for a jump shot when going right, or he can go straight to the basket when going left.
You can't find a pattern to defend him at all.
Therefore, Matthews is extremely worried that he will be beaten by Wade tonight.
The embarrassment is secondary, the key point is still this: he doesn't want to hold the team back.
The more anxious he is, the harder Matthews shoots three-pointers.
At this time, there were more and more people on the court.
And when the Heat players came out and Wade appeared in front of Matthews, Matthews' tension reached a peak!
His palms are now covered in sweat!
Wade looked at Matthews and mentally greeted his good brother's family.
James actually said on the show yesterday that the lineups of the two teams are evenly matched.
You know, Matthews, the Nuggets' starting No. 2 pick, is a second-year undrafted player.
What does Azhan mean? I am also an undrafted player?
Seeing Wade staring at him a few times, Matthews became even more nervous.
Fortunately, at this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted to Ryan who entered the room.
Ryan did not appear in the team's training uniform today, but wore a Reebok sweatshirt.
This sweatshirt is entirely based on the blue of the Nuggets, with a golden lion's head printed on the chest, and a crown on the lion's head. Under the lion's head, there are images of three championship rings.
Ryan came out wearing a hood of a sweatshirt. The pattern on the hood also looked like a basketball crown, so Ryan wearing the hat was like wearing a crown.
This is the new Christmas version of the Ryan series sweatshirt that Reebok released today. Stern gritted his teeth after looking at it.
Ryan actually violated the dress code nakedly on an occasion like the Christmas fight!
According to the requirements of the dress code, players can only wear sponsor's training clothes at this time.
But for Reebok, breaking the dress code doesn't matter at all.
First of all, Ryan is the league's top player. Stern dare not do anything to him. At most, he will be fined.
Reebok is willing to pay the fine for Ryan, and it will be used as advertising fees. Just like back then, Nike paid a fine for Jordan's red AJs in every game, which made that shoe attract more attention from then on.
In addition, Reebok is still the sole sponsor of all NBA apparel in this history, so this wave is to promote his own clothes. It is understandable that Ryan does not wear Reebok training clothes, since they are all his own brands.
The reason why Reebok insisted on letting Ryan wear this dress today is to capture the popularity of Ryan VS James.
As we all know, Arjan has always been nicknamed the King. And this piece of clothing from Reebok is full of elements of the king.
There are even two words written on the back fabric: Real King.
These two words are extremely pertinent!
Today, Reebok is going to create an atmosphere of duel between real and fake kings!
After today's battle, everyone can decide for themselves who is qualified to be called the king!
Arjan gritted his teeth as he looked at Ryan's crazy outfit.
What real King? Don't worry about me!
Ryan started to warm up wearing this highly targeted piece of clothing, and Stern could only turn a blind eye.
At this time, reporters began to come on stage one after another to conduct pre-game interviews.
James was naturally one of the interviewees. The reporters also understood Ryan's intention of wearing this dress, so they deliberately asked Ajan: "Do you think Ryan's dress is a metaphor for something?"
Ajan replied without thinking: "It doesn't matter what he means by wearing those clothes, I just know that a real king never wears a crown for himself!"
James expressed his dissatisfaction with Ryan's dress in front of the camera.
When reporters went to interview Ryan, Ryan also responded:
"Yes, but I didn't put the crown on myself, but my opponent put it on me.
Weared it three times! "
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder on both sides was getting stronger and stronger, the reporter continued to ask:
"Yesterday, LeBron said the rosters are evenly matched.
However, the Heat have three superstars.
What do you have to say about this? "
Ryan originally wanted to mock James severely, but after looking at Wesley Matthews, who had been out of sorts today, Ryan changed his mind.
He nodded: "Yes, I agree with LeBron's statement, our team lineup is indeed evenly matched!"
Then Ryan hugged Wesley Matthews from the side and brought him into the camera:
“My teammates are indeed very strong, even Wesley, who has no draft pick at all, is an extremely good player.
Having them fighting side by side with me is the key to the team's current position as No. 1 in the Western Conference.
So I think we are a super team!
Because I have the best teammates in the league, and my teammates are no worse than anyone else!
So, LeBron saying our roster is evenly matched, I’m okay with that.
I'm on a super team, I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I have absolute trust and confidence in my teammates! "
Matthews glanced sideways at Ryan, and Ryan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm just telling the truth. No one thinks you are worse than them. Come on tonight!"
One has the best teammate in the league, but he is too shy to admit it openly.
Even though his teammates' talents were not top-notch, he praised them all.
It is self-evident which one of Ryan and James is more suitable to be a leader, and who is more hypocritical!
Of course, Ryan's main purpose in saying this was not to insult Zhan.
But to tell Matthews and other teammates: "We are also a team with an excellent lineup, so there is nothing to be nervous about!"
Matthews is indeed encouraged. Yes, our record is better than the Heat's 12-game winning streak!
Everyone has two shoulders supporting one head, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
Ryan's answer pushed the tension between the two sides to the highest point.
The game was about to begin, and Ryan finally took off his conspicuous sweater.
James' expression was serious and his eyes were fixed on Ryan.
Damn this bastard's pregame routine was so over the top!
However, James is extremely confident in today's game, because his and Wade's joint defense has killed countless stars this season.
Even Ryan has never encountered such oppression!
James is confident that Ryan will not be able to produce good data today.
He wants Ryan to suffer a complete defeat both as a team and personally!
In this tense atmosphere, the referee threw the ball into the air, and the Heat's Big Z got the ball first from Love.
The Big Three immediately approached the Nuggets half, and James controlled the ball at the top of the key.
At this time, Wade began to look for opportunities to attack without the ball.
This season, Wade has greatly increased the proportion of his off-ball offense and achieved good results.
No, this time Wade used a cunning reverse run to get rid of Wesley Matthews, and then received the basketball at a 45° position in the middle distance on the right side.
After catching the ball, Wade took a direct mid-range shot. Although Matthews tried his best to catch up, Wade's mid-range shot still hit!
Without Ryan causing trouble, Wade felt that he was playing much easier!
This season, there will always be one person between James and Wade who can contain the other party's top perimeter defender.
And the other person can score more easily.
It seems that today, the person who can score easily is Wade.
Matthews cursed secretly. Wade was really fast. When he ran back just now, Matthews actually reacted immediately.
But by the time he started to catch up, Wade was already far away.
It's really difficult to guard this Miami Jordan.
But Matthews was not discouraged. Ryan's encouragement before the game boosted his morale.
Even if he fails, he will continue to defend desperately in the next round.
And on the next offensive end, Matthews will be fully focused!
The Heat successfully scored first, but the defensive round that followed was the moment that Miami fans and James were most looking forward to.
Ajan can't wait to join forces with Wade to strangle Ryan, and Heat fans can't wait for it too!
Although the Heat's head coach is Spoelstra, the team is still using the over-pressing strategy that Riley created during his time with the Knicks this season.
If the Spurs and Bulls' defense is calm, then the Heat's defense is vicious and domineering.
With their abnormal physical fitness, James and Wade are both players who are very capable of double-teaming, delays, steals, blocks, and rotations.
Therefore, the Heat are accustomed to using one of James and Wade with a teammate to press and attack the ball holder.
Then the remaining person sweeps up the help defense or cuts off the passing lane!
I have to say here that James has made great progress on the defensive end this season.
During the Cavaliers period, James' defense mostly relied on physical fitness to violently grab.
But since the beginning of last season, Ajan's defensive reading ability has greatly improved, and he has begun to have a bit of Pippen's taste on the defensive end.
Help defense, fill-in, rotation, all of these are included.
So this season, paired with Wade, they have simply formed the most terrifying double-ghost defense combination in the league.
In this round, as expected, as soon as Ryan received the basketball, Wade and Chalmers directly teamed up to attack, forcing Ryan to pass the ball.
Previously, Ryan was able to force a breakthrough when facing the Spurs' three-man outside attack in Paris.
But facing a flanking attack with Wade as the main body, it is almost impossible to rush through.
Wade's confrontation ability and ball-stealing ability are not comparable to those of the Spurs' three.
Faced with this situation, Ryan naturally passed the ball to Wesley Matthews, who was released by Wade in the middle.
Wade smiled. If he could force Ryan to pass the ball, the defense would be half successful!
Matthews immediately caught the ball and shot, but Wade was not worried.
Sure enough, the moment he took action, James immediately pounced on him to interfere!
His extremely fast rotation left Matthews with almost no shooting space!
One is responsible for pressing and attacking, and the other is responsible for sweeping and filling positions at any time.
The Heat's defense is simply impeccable!
Heat fans cheered for joy, and Marvin Albert, who commented on the game, was also amazed by the combined defense of James and Wade.
And once the Mavericks absorb the iron or make a mistake, James and Wade will counterattack with both wings, and the entire league will not be able to stop it.
Leading the attack from defense, impeccable!
Miami is hot and scary!
In fact, Wade is already preparing to run forward.
Counterattack is the Heat's most efficient means of scoring, so Wade will never let it go.
At this time, almost everyone has agreed that James and Wade have successfully strangled the Nuggets' offense this time.
However, under James' interference, Heat fans cheered in celebration.
Wesley Matthews' three-point shot did not bounce out of the frame, but went directly into the net!
Matthews just faced James who was rushing towards him. He was not timid at all and still completed the shot calmly.
Therefore, the basketball trajectory has not deviated from the original goal.
After scoring, Wesley Matthews even made his signature bow-shooting celebration towards James!
This arrow penetrated James' shield! Breaking through the Heat's defense!
Matthews' eyes are extremely determined, and he doesn't look like a loser at all!
Today, he is going to challenge the authority of the Clown King!
Ryan gave Matthews a thumbs up. What was he talking about? His teammates are also very powerful!
When Ryan eliminated Matthews' nervousness and gave him confidence, he was more than just an ordinary undrafted player!
James and Wade looked at each other, somewhat disbelieving the result.
What about the long-awaited strangling of Ryan? How come Ryan just flicked it and it was an assist!
Wade is very angry now. He has obviously forced Ryan to pass the ball, but still failed to defend, which makes him very annoyed.
And once a man gets angry, he likes to do simple and crude things that can be done in one step.
In this round of offense, Wade used a quick change of direction to pass Matthews and enter the penalty area. Faced with Love's frame protection, Wade didn't even bother to pull the lever and ran over directly for a dunk!
Wade still doesn't believe that with the firepower of the Big Three, they will really lose to the Nuggets!
Come on, your role players will score again in the next round!
However, in the next round, the Nuggets' role players really scored again!
This time the situation was exactly the same as before. After Ryan encountered a double attack, he passed the ball to Wesley Matthews.
Ajan was well prepared this time, and he pounced faster than before, just to completely block Matthews' shot.
As the head of the Heat, I can't be beaten by an undrafted player.
But when Matthews met Ajan who was running towards him, he neither made a hasty shot nor froze in place and was at a loss.
Instead, he calmly and quickly hit the ball to Lowry, who cut directly to the basket after being emptied by Ajan!
No matter how fast the Heat rotate, as long as they use double attacks, someone will definitely be freed up.
At this time, as long as the Nuggets pass the ball faster and more accurately, they can find this gap!
After receiving the basketball, Lowry went directly into the penalty area unmarked. Facing Big Z's defense, the little steel gun directly confronted Big Z in the air, and then hit the board to score the ball!
Although James recovered the penalty area, he was still a step too slow and failed to cover Lowry from behind.
Although Lowry's layup was not as domineering as Wade's dunk, it was still a goal!
The Nuggets continued to score, but the powerful choke that Heat fans expected still didn't come!
Wade gritted his teeth, why strong pressure was completely useless against the Nuggets! ?
For two consecutive rounds, the Heat forced Ryan to pass the ball, but the Nuggets' offense was not affected at all!
In the face of the Nuggets' tacit and smooth conduction, the Heat's pressure seemed to have lost its effect.
After just successfully scoring, Matthews sent another assist.
No one thought that Matthews, the undrafted player, would be the first to shine in this game.
It seems that as Ryan said, even Matthews, who was not selected, is still stronger!
James was completely angry. Twice in a row, the defensive problems came from him.
Damn, you bunch of rotten fish and shrimps really think of yourself as giants, don't you? And they all come after me!
Ajan, who was also very angry, also chose to force a breakthrough in this round, hoping to lead the team to overtake and teach the Nuggets some lessons.
But his sudden layup was slapped away by Ryan, who had been sticking close to his side!
Wade can beat Matthews, but that doesn't mean James can beat Ryan.
Before the game, everyone said Wade and James could strangle Ryan. James is also looking forward to joining forces with Wade to make Ryan's offense helpless.
As a result, nothing happened to Ryan until now, but James was strangled in the first shot!
Marvin Albert applauded vigorously: "Now, we probably know who the real King is!"
After Ryan finished blocking the shot, he naturally did not forget to talk to James:
"Didn't you say that it's impossible for my score to be higher than yours today? How can you beat me if you don't even score?"
James really wants to change positions with Wade at this time!
Good brothers, let’s swap, I want to try Matthews too!
No, Ryan, don’t you like to defend the strongest person on the other side?
Then you should be on guard against Wade, the big boss. What are you guarding against me for?
The Nuggets' defensive strategy today is actually similar to the previous game against the Spurs, which is to lock down at least one of the two offensive strengths of Wade and James.
It's a pity that Arjan became the man chosen today. Throughout today, Ryan will take good care of him
As for offense, the Nuggets were not afraid of pressure at all today.
First of all, Ryan's first release point will never get stuck. Ryan now has excellent ability to hit the ball from the double.
Therefore, he can quickly get the ball to his teammates during pressure.
Secondly, Matthews, Lowry, Millsap and Love also all have excellent passing abilities. This gives the Nuggets an excellent ability to find openings to punish the Heat's defense.
That's right, just like the Spurs in 2014!
The Spurs' smooth offense in 2014 made the Heat's pressing defense completely miss the point!
Although the smoothness of the Nuggets' offense is not up to the level of the Spurs in 2014, it is still quite good.
Therefore, simply pressing Ryan will have a very limited effect on defending the Nuggets.
In fact, the Nuggets' previous victory over the Bulls and Celtics, two strong offensive teams, did not rely on Ryan's scoring.
Beating the Bulls, Ryan had 30+6+10. Against the Celtics, he played a legendary version of 30+20+10.
Although the data is still gorgeous, the points scored are really not many.
And in those two games, Ryan sent out 10 assists respectively.
The current Nuggets are themselves a team-oriented offensive team.
Therefore, even if Ryan does not take a direct shot, the team will not fall into a scoring drought!
Judging from the current rounds, the Nuggets have basically completed their established strategy!
The Heat want to rely on pressure to strangle Ryan, which is simply impossible!
The Heat continued their attack with a sideline kick. This time Wade disrupted the Nuggets' defensive focus with his quick off-the-ball movement. Finally, James found Bosh who took the opportunity to cut to the basket and assisted the latter for an easy layup.
The Big Three's 12-game winning streak prevents them from losing consecutive games.
But the Nuggets don't care about losing points like this. This season, the Nuggets like to use more violent offense to destroy their opponents!
After one round, the Nuggets indeed scored again!
This time, after Lowry received a pass from Matthews and broke into the paint, he encountered Bosh's quick defense.
Lowry made a tacit back pass and found Millsap, who was completely left open. The latter scored steadily with a mid-range shot!
Wade discovered that the Heat's high-intensity pressure seemed completely useless against the Nuggets!
After Millsap scored, the Nuggets regained the lead.
The Heat can only continue to grind against the Nuggets, which is not the way the Big Three like to score.
This time the Heat attacked, James held the ball and organized, while Wade continued to disrupt the Nuggets defense with hard interspersions.
But just as James was gesticulating to direct traffic, Ryan suddenly took action and hugged the basketball with both hands!
James also immediately hugged the ball with both hands, trying to protect the ball. But Ryan pulled hard and pulled the ball out!
After being blocked by Ryan, Ajan was intercepted by Ryan again and lost the ball in two consecutive rounds!
Ajan said that Ryan's score will not be higher than his in any case. He may be talking about the score in the last 30 seconds when the team was 10 points behind!
After abruptly "robbing" Ajan, Ryan kicked the floor and made a counterattack dunk to help the Nuggets expand their advantage!
At the same time, he also broke his personal scoring drought.
James was so angry that he jumped up and down. Wade and Bosh both scored, and I just kept getting beaten.
If you fight like this, I can't even be Pippen, I'm afraid I'm going to be Rodman directly!
Ajan's desire to score is extremely high now. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of today to play excellent data in front of Ryan, but so far, except for mistakes, he has no data.
So in this round, Ajan decided to be selfish. He singled out Ryan and made an emergency jumper from the mid-range position!
But under Ryan's interference, James' shot still failed to get into the net!
Although Bosh grabbed the offensive rebound, his not-so-strong finish at the basket did not allow him to rely on Love to score the ball.
That's what Bosh is like. You say he's good, but he's really not good. He can't even beat Love.
But if you say he's not good, he seems to be really good. At least the previous score without the ball was very exciting.
Only Azhan is relatively stable, no matter what time of day it is!
At this time, the Heat's only hope of closing the score is to successfully contain Ryan on defense.
Although the Nuggets played very smoothly in the previous rounds, at least Ryan did not score points in the positional battle.
Being able to keep Ryan out of the positional warfare system can also be regarded as a defensive success.
Spoelstra also knew very well that Ryan must not be allowed to play alone today.
Although both Wade and James have strong defensive abilities, if they are one-on-one, even if they fight, Ryan will kill them!
Spoelstra still has this kind of confidence!
Previously, I don’t know how many teams were frightened by a few goals from Nuggets role players and resumed man-to-man defense, only to be taken away by Ryan.
So no matter how the Nuggets' role players score goals today, the Heat will not play man-to-man defense.
No matter what, as soon as Ryan holds the ball, two people must press!
I would rather let the Nuggets role players score than let Ryan score!
In this way, when Ryan received the ball in this round, he once again encountered the pressure of Wade and Chalmers.
James also moved towards Matthews in advance this time, directly blocking Ryan's passing route to Matthews.
Lowry could only run out to catch the ball immediately, but the moment he caught the ball, James immediately returned to his position and defended in front of Lowry. Chalmers also went back to defend Matthews.
This time, the Heat used perfect rotation to block all the Nuggets' chances!
Spoelstra nodded with satisfaction. As long as Ryan could not play a role in the early position battle, the Nuggets would not be able to get opportunities every time no matter how they passed.
At this time, it is unrealistic for Lowry to play James alone. Someone must come out to support him.
Matthews ran non-stop to a position two steps beyond the three-point line to connect with Lowry.
But Chalmers followed closely and gave Lowry no chance to pass the ball.
Seeing this situation, Matthews ran back and walked inside, hoping to get rid of the defense.
But the flexible Chalmers braked at the same time as Matthews, and immediately caught up with him, still blocking the passing route!
But Lowry still passed the ball, but the target of the pass was not Matthews, but Ryan who was in the same direction as Matthews!
The moment Ryan received the basketball, the Heat wanted to attack immediately.
But Ryan didn't move after receiving the ball, and the ball didn't even stay in his hands for long.
With his back to the basket, Ryan knocked the ball to his crotch the moment he caught the ball.
At the same time, Matthews, who was running back, passed by Ryan, just caught the crotch pass, and then went straight to the basket!
Ryan just served as a transfer point and broke the Heat's tight defense!
Matthews confidently went straight to the basket, but at this time, the big Z towered like a mountain in the progress, making Matthews unable to see the basket at all.
But Matthews had no choice, he still jumped up in front of the big Z.
Matthews is an excellent 3D player, but he is not very good at attacking the frame with the ball.
So in Spoelstra's eyes, the Heat's defense was very successful.
However, after Wesley Matthews jumped up, he did not lift the ball and send it to the basket, but threw the ball behind his head!
People's eyes followed Ryan, and then they realized that Ryan had followed up in time, jumped up to catch the basketball in the air, and then completed an alley-oop dunk through the big Z under the basket!
The entire audience burst into exclamation. The Nuggets' coordination in this round, from Lowry looking for Ryan, to Ryan's back and crotch hit to Matthews, to Matthews passing an alley-oop to Ryan, all the coordination was smooth. Delightful for the eyes!
And this goal also proved that even if they use tight pressure, the Heat cannot completely lock Ryan in the positional battle!
Although Ryan is invincible in isolation, he is also a player who can really integrate into the system.
His attack has no blind spots!
After completing the dunk, Ryan gave Matthews a high-five.
Today, Matthews' calm shooting and passing are the key to the offense running so smoothly.
It seemed that he really listened to what he said before the game.
Matthews is also more confident at this time. Facts have proved that the Heat's Big Three are not so scary.
Especially Ajan, not only is he not scary, he is even a bit comedy.
Marvin Albert also expressed emotion:
“Judging from the past few rounds, the Nuggets really look like a super team!
Their cooperation is tacit, smooth and highly enjoyable.
All we can say is that a truly good leader can make an ordinary team shine like a super team!
The Heat's offense today was a bit ugly, mainly because LeBron, who was in charge of the organization, seemed a little lost today.
He made the Heat, a super team, look like an ordinary team!
This is the difference between a true king and a false king! "
Marvin Albert, whose life was unsatisfactory, told the truth.
Up to this point in the game, the Heat have still not strangled Ryan, and the Nuggets' offense is extremely smooth.
On the contrary, Ajan struggled very much after being targeted by Ryan on the offensive end.
The Heat may not necessarily lose today, but Ajan is dead!
From this aspect, Marvin Albert also admires James.
His boomerang never missed.
