Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 137 The Heat

"breakthrough?"

As the team's assistant coach, one of Field's most important tasks is to conduct technical statistical analysis.

Through technical statistical analysis, not only can discover the weakness of the opponent, but also observe the state of the team.

Earlier, he had discovered that Wang Hao's free throws had increased a bit recently, with an average of less than 2 per game.

It seems very inconspicuous, but this at least means that each game must make at least 2 more fouls.

Not every foul is converted into a free throw.

This is no small change.

Field observed this data change, but didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the data is inherently fluctuating.

To put it bluntly, he only saw the appearance, but did not see the essence through the appearance.

As head coach, Paul Westphal saw it.

Of course, apart from statistics, Paul Westphal has also taken note of Wang Hao's performance during this period of time.

In fact, since the All-Star Game, with the addition of skill points to speed and explosive power.

Coupled with the fact that he has learned from Gary Payton's breakthrough, his personal breakthrough ability has indeed grown a lot.

Although Gary Payton's breakthrough is not particularly powerful, it is enough for Wang Hao.

After all, he is not the kind of one-on-one confrontation.

His breakthrough is often because the opponent defends his three-pointer too high and does not reserve enough space.

Under such circumstances, his breakthrough is much simpler.

As a famous three-point shooter in the NBA, he just won the All-Star Three-Point Contest.

When the opponent is defending him, they definitely focus on the three-pointer. As for the breakthrough, they can only go to the back row.

Even, if a choice needs to be made, the opponent would rather let him break through than give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

"Wang, this is your new tactical arrangement, I hope you can adapt as soon as possible."

"I understand, Mr. Coach."

When the position changes, often the tactical arrangement will also change, especially the tactical change.

If Wang Hao is allowed to move to shooting guard, but still play in the past, there is no need to change positions at all.

"In addition to the three-pointer, I hope you can have more breakthroughs and tear the opponent's defense through you.

As for whether to choose to shoot or split the ball after the breakthrough, you need to make your own choice.

I have seen that in the recent period, you have actually done a good job, and I believe you can take on this task. "

……

The head coach has high hopes. For Wang Hao, there is indeed some pressure, but it's okay.

In fact, such a change coincides with each other, because he is also strengthening his breakthrough.

Only when they frighten their opponents, they dare not step forward to press unscrupulously, leaving no space for their shots.

The starting lineup has changed, and the players play differently, so changes need to be made.

Ruben Patterson mainly focuses on defense. As for scoring ability, he only has a good air cut.

Of course, he can also make a breakthrough, especially the opponents in the third position are mostly taller than him, and his ability to cause damage is not bad.

With Ruben Patterson on the flanks, Wang Hao can't always occupy positions on both sides of the baseline.

He needs to appear more at the top of the arc, even two 45-degree angles, to meet Gary Payton and participate in the organization of the offense.

Of course, in addition to increasing breakthroughs and organizing offenses, Wang Hao's style of play will not change too much.

It is still based on running positions and looking for opportunities to catch and shoot.

After all, after playing for most of the season, the team members are very familiar with each other's style of play.

This saves a lot of trouble in running in.

Two days later, after a simple tactical drill, the Sonics set off immediately for the next game.

This game is not easy, not just an away trip, the opponent is still a strong Heat team.

Today's Heat, although not as good as the Sonics, are still in the top four in the Eastern Conference.

Specifically, it is No.2, and it is only two games behind the No. 2 Pacers.

The American Airlines Arena Center was full of seats. As the second largest city in Florida, Miami's ball market is quite prosperous.

No, the game has not yet started, and the voices of fans cheering are endless.

Of course, this is also related to Miami's good performance in recent years. After all, only achievements can attract fans.

Mourning is known as the fifth of the four major centers. With his presence, the Heat can still guarantee results.

It's a pity that there are no players on the outside who are good enough to partner with Mourning. Although Xiaochong Hardaway is good, he is still not good enough.

Especially now that Tim Hardaway is 34 years old, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

There is a Jamal Mashburn, but unfortunately, Pat Riley did not regard him as the core.

Otherwise, next year, with the emergence of Mourning's injury, Pat Riley decisively gave up Mashburn and chose to play poorly.

"Di!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, players from both sides stepped onto the field and the game was about to begin.

Looking at the Heat's starting lineup, to be honest, this lineup is really good.

The starting inside combination, Alonzo Mourning and PJ Brown partner inside, is definitely one of the best defensive insiders in the NBA.

Needless to say, Alonzo Mourning, the best defensive player is definitely the best defensive insider in the NBA.

Not only him, PJ Brown is also known for his defense and has been selected to the best defensive second team many times.

If Pat Riley's team doesn't have some defensive skills, it will definitely not be so easy to start.

As for the back line, it is the bug Tim Hardaway, and his partner is the defensive titan Dan Marley.

Although there is no such thing as a 3D player in this era, Dan Marley is indeed this type.

The offense is mainly based on three-pointers and inside cuts, and then defense. He has also been selected to the best defensive second team many times.

He is one of the earliest representatives of brown sugar defense, but now he has entered the twilight of his career.

Not only that, at the peak of his career, Dan Marley was also selected to the All-Star many times.

Finally, there is Jamal Mashburn, the outside core of the Heat, a talented outside core.

Pat Riley's coaching philosophy can be seen from the starting lineup, and defense is the first core element.

Except for Jamal Mashburn and Tim Hardaway, the other three basically started their careers on defense.

Not only that, but Bruce Bowen, the NBA's number one destroyer, is also sitting on the bench.

Of course, today's Bruce Bowen is only famous for his defense, and he hasn't done any crippled moves, at most, his moves are rough.

Therefore, after joining the Spurs, there have been continuous useless actions, and the reasons are self-evident.

Perhaps he has not been instructed, but, acquiescence, even guidance, such things have definitely happened.

It's bound to be a tough game.

The only good news is that both Tim Hardaway and Dan Marley are over 34 years old, and physical fitness is a big problem.

However, the supersonic team's outside combination Wang Hao and Gary Payton are the core of the team's offense.
