Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 422 Release All
"The NBA Finals has officially begun. Familiar faces, stronger contests. Let us wait and see who will be the new overlord of the league."

"In terms of overall strength, the Timberwolves are stronger, but the Heat also have hope. This is a contest between MVPs. Curry has already won the MVP, Finals MVP and All-Star MVP Grand Slam, and James is also looking forward to such honors."

Before the start of the finals, all the honors of this season have been settled.

The Timberwolves won the first record in history, and Curry won the regular season MVP without any suspense.

Because the Timberwolves' players have a lot of rotations, they did not get the data kings this season.

Love, who is good at explosive data, also did not participate in the competition because of the number of appearances.

But in other ways, a team with such a good regular-season record will definitely pay off.

The best coach is Zhang Sixin's turn again.

If it weren't for the inability to continue, Zhang Sixin might be able to monopolize it.

The best defensive team, Milicic first team, Paul George second team.

The best team, Curry first team, Paul George second team, DeRozan third team.

If it weren't for Love's lack of appearances, the Timberwolves can still have more places. They are really strong enough this season.

Paul George also won the Most Improved Player award by the way.

In terms of honors, Curry has never been able to get all the honors in history, but with the help of Zhang Sixin, he has already won a lot in just four years.

After this season, there will be no doubt about the maximum salary.

As for the Timberwolves, they will encounter the question of whether the team will give three maximum salaries, and who to keep.

Of course, before that, they have to go all out to win the third championship.

Zhang Sixin had already talked with the players and focused on playing the game.

As long as the game is played well, no matter whether it is the maximum salary or anything else, it will not fall, whether it is to stay in the Timberwolves or not.

The Heat's style of play is now more team, but essentially unchanged.

The main tactics are that James and Wade hold the ball, and then choose to attack or break through the ball.

But they pay more attention to three-pointers, and James and Wade sometimes enrich their tactics without the ball.

The Heat started off with Janeway connecting, and the tactics were executed well.

It's just that when they implemented the three-point tactic, they found that the Timberwolves' three-point defense was much better than other teams.

The East pays more attention to defense than the West. The Heat thought they were used to high-intensity defense.

It's not that they don't remember the Timberwolves' defense. They have watched the Timberwolves' video countless times.

But in fact, the confrontation is even more incomprehensible than memory and video, and they thought they had found a way to deal with it.

Defensively, the Heat have done a good job. What they are worried about inside is that the Timberwolves did not start strong, and Love doesn't feel very good.

But on the outside, it's okay for Wade to limit DeRozan, and Curry and Paul George are still very strong.

The main reason is that one person can't handle Curry. If he helps defend Curry, Paul George can seize the opportunity.

As a young player, Paul George played very strongly against James, so compared to DeRozan, Paul George has gained more optimism from the outside world.

The situation is not too good for the Heat, but it is not bad, and it is still in the controllable range.

Their head coach Spoelstra was serious on the court. Facing the Timberwolves again, Spoelstra made a lot of preparations.

The Heat's rotation is more adequate than last season. Ray Allen, Cole, Miller on the outside, Anderson on the inside, Battier and Anthony last season are less.

During the rotation period of the Heat, it is to play one big and four small, and increase three points.

Every three-point point will contain a defensive player of the Timberwolves, so that the Big Three have room to play.

Compared with the starters, the Heat's offensive power is stronger during the rotation period.

Especially with Ray Allen, who has rich experience and is not soft at critical moments, it can definitely help open up space.

And their only concern is whether Love can withstand this after they use one big and four young ones.

There is also Milicic, who can also score at this point.

So they started with two inside lanes, a relatively conservative lineup, in order to stabilize the defense first.

But if they can't gain an advantage, they still have to play a big and a small. In the end, Bosh will play the fifth position. Everyone on the field has three-point ability, so the shooting space is theoretically larger than that of the Timberwolves.

But it's only in theory, because their shots are not as stable as Timberwolves players, and they don't have a shooting superstar like Curry.

Steady defense or steady offense, the Heat can only judge based on the situation on the court, they all have plans.

Now Love doesn't seem to feel good, and the team is in trouble on the offensive end. It must be an inevitable choice for the Heat to switch from the rotation period to the offensive mode.

It's not clear how many points the Heat's rotation can score, but after opening up the space, Wade's performance is much better.

However, Le Fu also resurrected.

After the Heat lost one insider, their already weak insider couldn't stand it at all.

James and Wade also made kills, but the Timberwolves are not afraid of this trick at all.

In addition, in fact, it is the Heat who can't stand the inside foul.

If Bosh plays five, he actually has help defense, but first he has to fight against the powerful insider of the Timberwolves, and then DeRozan, Paul George, Leonard and others rotate and attack. He can't stand it at all.

When Haslem and Anderson are on the court, they can't stand it.

The Heat were caught in a dilemma. The defensive efficiency of the last two insiders was slightly better, but the offensive end was easily restricted by the Timberwolves, because their insiders except Bosh were blue-collar, and their help on the offensive end was limited.

But if there is only one inside line, the inside line will not be able to withstand it, and the Timberwolves' inside line can also create opportunities for the outside line in turn.

How to do?
The Heat actually didn't have too many choices, because if they defended the inside last time, they would die slowly.

The Timberwolves are at the league's top level on both offense and defense. The only way for the Heat to win is to explode on the offensive end. After all, they have obvious weaknesses on the defensive end.

But if they fight to attack, they need some luck.

Or the Big Three exploded, or the role players had an X-factor explosion, anyway, they would lose if they played normally.

This is unacceptable, and the Heat will not bear it, but it is such a situation, the Big Three are no better than the Big Five, and a group of decent role players cannot compare to top role players.

"Defend their three-pointers, and then we shoot the ball, it's that simple." Zhang Sixin said to the players during the intermission.

"Outside players should not give them an easy shot, and inside players should be bold in defense, and don't worry about fouls. Intensity, we need to continue to improve intensity. We have reached the finals, we don't need to reserve any energy, let's release all our energy."
