Chapter 462

Chapter 462

The Heat and the Raptors still played inextricably in the second quarter.The Heat did not deliberately double-team Yingxiong from the beginning to the end, unless he had a pick-and-roll with Along Gray.And they didn't use their housekeeping skills in the first half-pinching the ball holder.

When the Heat are playing against other teams, they often pinch the ball holder, speed up the rotation, and then force the opponent to make a mistake, steal the ball and counterattack by themselves, and finally play a wave.But this kind of defense is based on the premise of huge physical consumption, and it cannot last for a whole game after all.Otherwise, they wouldn't always do it in the third or fourth quarter when the opponent's physical fitness declines, rather than doing it throughout the game.

In the first half of the game, the Heat led the Raptors by only 45 point with 44:1.

Ying Xiong scored 23 points in the first half and scored more than half of the team's points. This is the main reason why the team was able to compete with the opponent.

In Ying Xiong's view, the Heat have not really exerted their strength.They didn't really develop intensity, they didn't pinch the ball handler, they didn't speed up the rotation, and they were still defending step by step.

However, the other party has reservations, so don't you have any reservations on your side?You know, with your teammates performing so poorly, our team was only 1 point behind in the first half!The opponent is the Heat, the favorite to win the championship with the Big Three!Moreover, I haven't opened the hidden attribute yet!

Ying Xiong understands that the real contest between the two teams will be in the second half.

The second half started on time and neither side changed the starting lineup.

Calderon dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc.Facing the defensive intensity of the Heat, he gradually became a player who dribbled the ball halfway and then waited for the open 3-pointer.In fact, I can't blame him. He was not the kind of violent point guard who can score 30 points in a game with the ball.He has always been known for his few turnovers and steady style of play.

Facing James, Ying Xiong used the cover of James Johnson to walk in the middle and left.The Heat's defense stretches well.When he holds the ball on the outside, Haslem and Bosh inside will come out to help defend and test the ball.This is one of the reasons why Calderon and DeRozan's offense is so strenuous.

——Not everyone has Yingxiong's excellent ability to control the ball.

Ying Xiong passed Along Gray to the basket in seconds, but Haslem interfered with the latter's layup and missed the ball.

James accepted the rebound and made a pass to Wade, who was going down the court.

After Wade received the ball, he followed up with Chalmers, who forced a layup under the basket!

The first to score in the second half became the Heat.

47:44, the Heat lead by 3 points!

Calderon dribbles over and organizes the offense at the top of the arc.

Through the first half of the game, the Heat also saw the weakness of the Raptors to some extent, that is, the independent offensive ability inside is too poor.Both Along Gray and Ed Davis are players who rely on their teammates to "feed" them. They don't have much autonomous offensive ability, so they are easy to be targeted by opponents.Under such circumstances, the Heat naturally focused their defense on Ying Xiong and others on the outside, which also objectively caused a sharp decline in the offensive efficiency of DeRozan and Calderon.

Ying Xiong continued to feed Aaron Grey, because he also saw that the opponent intended to reduce the defensive investment of the team's big center.

Along Gray caught the ball again and directly chose to dunk-Haslem rushed over, but it was too late.

The point difference came to 1 points again!

Coach Spoelstra on the sidelines couldn't help but respect his ambitions. The opponent was able to capture subtle changes in the team's defensive end under such a high-intensity defense. He really deserves to be able to compete with LeBron for the MVP!

Here James hit a 3-pointer after using the pick-and-roll!The point difference came to 4 points!

But DeRozan finally stiffened for a while, turned over against Wade and hit a jumper!

In the next few minutes, the two sides had offense and defense against each other, and the point difference never widened to more than 4 points.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Heat suddenly doubled.

The Raptors' attack against the Heat can be simulated in normal training.Of course, the situation of training and competition is still different, but it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared.Neither Calderon nor DeRozan panicked.The opponent pinches and rotates, so I try my best to rotate the ball and transfer it to the open teammate.

But the problem is, DeRozan and others missed the open shots!

Although the Heat were unable to steal the ball and counterattack, they immediately launched a counterattack after the opponent's rebound when they missed an open space was accepted by them.

Fortunately, the Raptors retreated in time and did not lose too much blood, but the point difference was still opened up by the opponent.

At this time, Ying Xiong activated the hidden attribute... The last time he activated the hidden attribute was in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in February.Even in the first round against the Magic, he never turned on.It's not that I don't respect magic, but I really don't want to rely too much on it.

Calderon dribbled the ball, was flanked at the top of the arc on the right, and immediately distributed it to the nearby DeRozan.DeRozan broke through with the ball and was also flanked. The ball was a little slow and was almost intercepted.

Ying Xiong used deer pose to accelerate to get the ball, then switched to ape pose, used a big change of direction to sway James away, quickly cut into deer pose, and rushed in.

When encountering Bosh's help defense, Ying Xiong switched to tiger style, forced a layup, squeezed away an opponent who was not too strong, and hit 2+1 at the basket!

Ying Xiong's series of actions just now left the fans stunned.Is this Nima still the physical performance that a player who has played most of the game should have?So fast!So fierce!

Here, James overwhelmed Ying Xiong inside, and Ying Xiong opened the bear style, making it difficult for the opponent to push in.

James was also very surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly not particularly strong Asian could reach such a level of strength in the low post.

James gave up the strong top Yingxiong and gave the ball to Chalmers on the outside.

Chalmers missed a 3-pointer——Ying Xiong stuck James in a bear pose, quickly switched to a bird pose, jumped up lightly to receive the ball, and then switched to a deer pose to push forward with the ball.

Ying Xiong pushed forward, met Wade's defense, switched to the ape style to shake the opponent away, and then switched to the tiger style to kill the basket, and the layup caused Bosh's thug foul!

Ying Xiong stepped to the free throw line and successfully made two free throws!

Coach Spoelstra was dissatisfied with the team's performance and requested a timeout!

The home team fans at the scene were worried about the home team for the first time.Although the home team has the Big Three, they easily defeated the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.But facing the Raptors with only one superstar, they actually felt uneasy in their hearts.

This Yingxiong is no stranger to Heat fans. You must know that in the finals of last season, the Mavericks where this person belongs defeated the home team to win the championship.And this person restricted Wade very well in the finals at that time, which was one of the important reasons for the team's loss.
