The Raptors' pick-and-roll defense is also problematic. The inside power center Allong Gray can protect the frame, but his moving speed is still too slow compared to Bosh.Moreover, after he was pulled to the outside by Bosh, James Johnson and others on the inside could not easily prevent the breakthrough of James Johnson and the others.
Of course, the Heat's starting with a small lineup is not without disadvantages, rebounding and frame protection are the biggest disadvantages.It's just that at this time, the team has to make a trade-off. If you want space and perimeter defense, you must give up the height of the interior.There is no perfect lineup, only the most targeted lineup.
In the first quarter of the game, the Heat played the best offensive first quarter in the last 3 games.But even so, they still failed to take the lead because they lost too many rebounds.
The two insiders of the Raptors, no matter who they are, rushed to grab offensive rebounds, so that the Heat did not dare to play fast breaks.As for Yingxiong's defense, James couldn't defend it, and neither could Battier.
Battier has the ability to defend from position 1 to position 4, but he can't keep up with a player with the speed of his opponent!Once the Heat are broken through from the outside, the ability to protect the frame inside is not enough, and the inside loses a lot of blood.
Bosh is a big man who can go inside and outside, but rebounding and protecting the frame are really not his specialty.He used to be in the Raptors, and he didn't play a center. When he came to the Heat, in order to open up space for Janeway, he drove the ducks to play a center.His height is not short, but his neck is very long, and his shoulder height is not much higher than that of James, who is 203cm.
In the first quarter of the game, the Heat led the Raptors by only 28 point at 27:1.
In the transition period of the first half, the Heat still played with James leading the second team.The Raptors also followed the prescription and asked James Johnson to deal with him.At this stage of the game, it is clear what cards both sides have.
The Raptors rely on the strength of the home court, and the second lineup did not allow the opponent to take advantage of it. Even if the score was overtaken, the opponent could not pull away.In fact, the scoring ability of the Raptors' bench lineup is very good. If there is no Yingxiong in the starting lineup, the scoring ability may not even be stronger than the bench.
Yingxiong replaced Kleiza with 2 minutes and 8 seconds left in the second quarter.
Barbosa dribbles over and gives it to Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong faced Battier, grabbed the ball with one hand, and signaled his teammates to pull away.
Ying Xiong is the boss of the team. When he spoke, his teammates naturally cooperated very well.Soon, teammates are pulling away, creating opportunities for him to play one-on-one.
Ying Xiong used his left foot as the axis, and took a tentative step with his right hand.Battier's defense is very sophisticated, not easy to attack, not easy to press forward.
Battier, as the league's perimeter defensive master, knows the habits and characteristics of the league's perimeter superstars. His "eye-closed defense" is a characteristic of the league.He knows that his speed is not as good as the opponent's, and the opponent's breakthrough is too terrifying, coupled with the opponent's proficient ability to hold the ball, so he will not foolishly press and be passed by the opponent as a moving stake.
When Ying Xiong thought about you, it didn't mean that it was fine if you didn't press hard.He suddenly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to break through to the right.
Battier's reaction is also extremely fast, his footsteps are not messy, and his center of gravity is adjusted just right.
However, Ying Xiong is too fast...so fast that Battier thinks of AI, Marbury at his peak...
But you should know that Ying Xiong's height is 203cm. In Battier's impression, he seems to be the first one with such a height.
Yingxiong Crossover left-handed, passed Battier with lightning speed, then cut to the basket with an unusual explosion, and finally took off with one foot and bombed the basket.
Joel Anthony came to help defend, after all, it was a step too late.In order to avoid becoming a background board, he finally gave up the foul.He is very clear that in this case, the foul can be scored 2+1 by the opponent.
"Bang--" a mighty dunk!The fans of the home team at the scene felt their adrenal hormones rising rapidly, making people feel hot all over, which was very refreshing.
Seeing Ying Xiong like this, James Jones on the side could only shake his head helplessly.This kind of impact and speed reminded him of James in the Cavaliers period.But Ying Xiong is different from James. James's lateral speed is actually not fast. What he is fast is the speed of a straight line.
Heat coach Spoelstra immediately requested a timeout!The purpose of his timeout is to suppress the momentum of the opponent's rise, and arrange the defense against Ying Xiong by the way. He was a little dissatisfied with the slow defense of the inside line just now.
After the timeout, the main players of both sides have basically returned.
Chalmers dribbles over to Wade.
Wade misplaced the pick-and-roll with the ball and hit the inside of the Raptors.The Heat's small lineup is still very powerful. With James' first-class breakthrough ability, it is easy to create open opportunities on the outside.
Battier is really an excellent 3D player, with excellent defense, stable opening, low-key and simple, and basically seamlessly connects with any star.
In fact, whether in the NBA or in other basketball leagues, pitchers or defensive pitchers (3D) can survive in any system.Moreover, it is compatible with any star.After all, a basketball game is a game of shooting accuracy. There is only one ball. The advantage of a pitcher is that he can open up the offensive space without the ball in his hand and create threats without the ball. This is the greatest value of a pitcher.
Calderon dribbles over and hands it to Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong scored with the ball, and DeRozan scored again, but still didn't get a chance, and finally handed over to Ying Xiong for singles.
The advantage of the Heat's small lineup is that it moves quickly and rotates quickly to make up defenses. It is difficult to find an opportunity immediately for a sudden score.
Ying Xiong singled out Battier, moved one step, stepped back and made a jumper—continue!
The Heat let Battier single-handedly defend Yingxiong, but judging from the first half, they didn't get the expected effect.When Ying Xiong faced Battier, his singles success rate was very high.
But the Heat didn't have a good solution. If Ying Xiong made a jump shot from the outside, they didn't want to attack in advance and follow the old path of the Magic.
In the first half of the game, the Heat relied on the large space of the small lineup to hold the score and not be pulled away by the opponent.
At the end of the half, the Raptors led their opponents by 52 points at 49:3.
Seeing the home team leading the Heat at halftime, the Raptors fans were excited and cheered non-stop, turning the stadium into a sea of joy.
Ying Xiong scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half of the game, and his performance is still very good.Basically, as long as he wants to fight, no matter who it is, he can't easily defend against it.
The Heat are under some pressure.If the opponent in the previous game played exceptionally well, the team started this game with a small lineup as their trump card, but they were still behind at halftime.What's even more frightening is that the Asian man named Ying Xiong doesn't seem to have really exerted his strength yet...
