0376 Everything ends here

Su Yang intends to create a feeling through pre-match interviews and post-match press conferences, that is, he is aware of all the tactics and changes that the Heat may adopt, and knows how to deal with them, and continues to put psychological pressure on the Heat.

If you say you can't do the Heat, you can't do the Heat.

If you say you can do it, you will have a home advantage.

Even so, it is clear that at most the Heat wins one game, and it must be a kind of skin-dropped one. Don't think it can be easily won.

Anyway, it's a bit of a prestigious mind.

That way, it is the greatest respect for LeBron and Wade. If the two play with all their strength, they may indeed turn the tables.

The interview was soon reported, and Chinese and foreign media reprinted it on platforms such as Twitter and Weibo, and fans participated in the discussion enthusiastically.

Netizen '生卡**': "Su Yang is Zhuge Liang, who is playing seven games with LeBron and is just playing with the Heat."

Netizens 'Holding friends in the wind and rain': "It's time to discuss whether Kobe, who has won the 5-win 2FMVP, can match Michael Jordan. In my opinion, Kobe is the number one player in the NBA after winning the championship. After all, Jordan cannot even make it to the playoffs without Pippen's help..."

Netizens 'This is a big breast cover': "The Heat's starting lineup is too flawed, especially lacking three-point pitchers. Coach Spoelstra should boldly change the lineup and arrange Chris Bosh as the center, and arrange Mike Miller as the starting power forward..."

While fans were hotly discussing, the Lakers team set off overnight to Miami, with only one day off according to the official schedule.

Su Yang woke up at noon and simply ate some self-service barbecue in the hotel restaurant. Then he pulled the coaching staff to review the second game.

There is nothing worth discussing in terms of strategy. Su Yang has almost simulated and deduced the possible strategies that may be used by the Heat's lineup, local changes, potential psychological changes, etc. The main task of the coaching staff is to find ways to overcome the Heat's home court advantages.

"23VS24 is very popular. Currently, the average ticket price for the third game is as high as $880. Many fans flew from all over the world to Miami to watch the game. The live viewership of ESPN's first two games reached a new high, and the replay ratings were the highest since the finals in 1998. The prices of various advertising endorsements have risen rapidly, so according to the league's tendency, everyone should understand."

Su Yang said bluntly, "Of course, we will still do our best unless we fall too far by the end of the fourth quarter."

Snyder and other assistant coaches started a discussion as Su Yang said, and in about ten minutes, Su Yang decided to decide on a potential adjustment strategy: If the Heat dared to let Bosh be the starting center and use a small ball lineup at the beginning, then let Dior play in advance to play in the front.

After the meeting, everyone left the office and took a bus to the temporary training base to cooperate with the team members to practice shooting.

The bus was driving fast on the road, and assistant coach Mike Brown suddenly laughed and said, "Wow, Su Yang's prediction is correct again. The Heat official Twitter posts a well-known remark from Pat Riley back then. It's very interesting to read. I forward it to the group chat for you to see..."

When Su Yang heard this, he was curious and immediately took out his cell phone to check it out and found that it was indeed a passage from Pat Riley many years ago.

[I hope to overturn the fallacy of the so-called playoffs and half-court offense and defense. I believe that the theory is too conservative. We have many geniuses, so we must decisively put the genius to the limit and knock the opponent out of the arena. Maybe it won’t work in the first quarter, maybe it won’t work in the second quarter, but we always insist that as long as the opponent is stunned and relaxed, our fast attack can taste the blood...]

The official Twitter notes of the Heat stated that the passage was what Pat Riley led the Lakers to sweep the Suns 4-0 in the Western Conference semi-finals. After that, the Lakers swept the Spurs 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals and finally won the championship.

As a basketball enthusiast, after Su Yang knew that the Western Conference Finals, Spurs coach Morris once sighed: "The Lakers are extremely fierce. They do their best to control every round. They steal, protect the backcourt rebounds, block, fly to save the ball, and then continue to launch fast attacks. They are constantly rushing to the basket, which is the team I have ever seen attacking the basket..."

The Heat's official Twitter spoke like that, indicating that in the third game, the Heat will implement Riley's philosophy and go all out from the beginning. LeBron no longer retains his physical strength, Wade no longer hesitates whether to score three points when taking the ball in an open position, and Bosh is not worried about whether to hit the basket.

But all of that was expected by Su Yang.

"If LeBron and Kobe are not able to invest 100% in 23VS24, that is the real regret." Su Yang put down his phone and said confidently: "We have become coaches that influence the course of history. Many years later, fans will definitely mention us."

After the words came to an end, Snyder and others looked a little excited. The coach's influence throughout NBA history was very small.

Fans talk about NBA history, Green Kai made Russell in eight consecutive championships, Lakers SHOWTIME made Magicians, Bulls made Jordan in two consecutive championships, Lakers made O'Neal and Kobe in three consecutive championships, and the coaches were all supporting roles.

In short, there is very few rounds of focusing on such a Heat final, which fully reflects the impact of the coach on the game.

While Su Yang and his friends were full of confidence, fans and commentators also had hot discussions about the Heat's official Twitter remarks.

Stephen Smith tweeted: "Very good, I'm very happy to see the Heat regain their best playing style. Although that was also expected by Su Yang, LeBron is good at the game of 'You know how to defend me, I can still beat you'. This is the best opportunity for LeBron to move towards greatness. The Heat have three home advantage and strive to protect the first two."

Scott Pippen tweeted: "As long as LeBron wins this championship, he can compete for the No. 1 small forward in NBA history, but if he doesn't win this championship, LeBron will face great pressure and may become dull throughout his career."

Bill Simmons tweeted: "Pippen's statement is too exaggerated! Even if LeBron cannot win the championship this year, he still has two years to prepare. He is only 28 years old now, and the Heat's overall strength is very strong. They have enough capital to do it twice."

On June 18th, the third game between the Lakers and the Heat Finals kicked off at the Miami American Route Center Arena.

As Su Yang predicted, the Heat arranged for Mike Miller to start and played in the small ball lineup from the beginning without reservation.

Su Yang did not hesitate. Taking advantage of Wade's free throw, he boldly changed the formation in 45 seconds of the game, allowing Dior to replace Gasol and McRoberts to play center. The overall rhythm of the Lakers accelerated significantly, and Curry wandered in the Heat halftime like a butterfly.

On the defensive end, the Lakers still use the strategy of combining and intercepting and breaking through, causing Heat Miller and Bosh to frequently shoot and hit iron.

In that case, the Lakers rely on Curry's steals and three-pointers, as well as Kobe and Dior's three-pointers, to produce a 15-5 attack wave. The team's offense looked like the mercury and the earth's fire tree, silver flowers and stars were brilliant, and only Ate made a mistake and was a bit disgraceful.

Who would have thought that the Heat would not stop or change the formation?

Spoelstra was as calm and persistent as an old monk entering into meditation, and Pat Riley even shouted passionately for the Heat.

Immediately afterwards, LeBron relied on Bosh to steal Dior and the Heat to score a fast break, and two consecutive one-stop attacks to the whole game, first assisting Wade to dunk and then assisting Charmos to score a mid-range shot. In addition, Wade succeeded in a one-on-one match, the Heat got a chance to breathe.

After the first quarter, the Lakers made 6 fouls, mainly Dior took 2, while the Heat's defense was very tough, causing the Lakers to make 5 mistakes, but only 4 fouls, with a very high profit, helping LeBron and Wade make 9 of 11 shots, scoring 21 points.

James and Wei's decisiveness made Kobe unable to withstand 5 of 9 shots, resulting in the Lakers falling behind the Heat for the first time in the first quarter of the finals.

As the game entered the second quarter substitute stage, Su Yang was preparing to adjust the rotation step by step, but found that Spolstra took the initiative to change the lineup on the Heat and no longer arranged LeBron to lead the Heat to substitute, but arranged Wade to lead LeBron to rest.

Su Yang couldn't see through his intentions for a while, and chose to wait for observation. He soon saw Wade's big hat Gasol and Barnes, and understood Spoelstra's intentions on the spot: Wade was once ranked third in DOPY, and ranked second in history among defenders in the blocking level.

The key is that Wade's ability to move sideways is better than LeBron, which can better improve the Heat's substitute lineup's defense level.

Su Yang thought for a moment, then took Gasol down, allowing Hill, who was faster to play, and used the ball to play the Heat.

In that case, the two teams were not well matched, and the main players of the two teams then appeared and repeated the first quarter, and they tied at the end of the half.

After returning from midfield, the offensive and defensive strategies of the two teams in the third quarter changed little. The Heat were just about to try to shrink the inside more to limit Kobe and Gasol's connection. Curry immediately punished with two three-pointers, which scared the Heat so much that they quickly resumed their normal defensive strategy.

The two teams went back and forth, and at the end of the fourth quarter, the Heat launched an attack. With 18 seconds left, LeBron, who had only got a little space, actually made a three-pointer. The choice was beyond the Lakers' defense expectations, and the basketball went into the net in a hollow.

Seeing that the game was only 46 seconds left, Su Yang asked for a timeout to arrange tactics, and Kobe then hit a negative angle shot from the extreme buzzer.

But unexpectedly, the Heat didn't call a timeout, and turned around and the Lakers had not settled in the first half, and LeBron made a long three-pointer.

The momentum of the game instantly surged to the Heat, but the Lakers attacked the change of borders, Kobe scored with a back-to-back against Wade, and continued to retain suspense.

In the last 11 seconds, the Heat came back from the timeout, and LeBron took the ball to the top of the arc against Kobe, pretending to use the screen to launch a breakthrough, but in fact it suddenly assisted Wade to receive an all-dunk, helping the Heat lead 109 to 107, leaving only 3 seconds left in the game.

Su Yang requested a timeout to arrange a final kill tactic, but unfortunately Kobe made a double-team mid-range shot, and the Lakers finally lost to the Heat by two points.

The finals turned into 2-1. In the whole game, the Heat made 26 fouls to perfectly execute Pat Riley's fierce offensive and defensive strategy.

LeBron made 16 of 25 shots, and efficiently scored 37 points, 4 assists and 11 rebounds with free throws, with only 1 mistake, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and Wade also scored 32 points for 14 of 25 shots.

After the game, various discussions were rushing. Su Yang attended the press conference and talked about the possible adjustments. He calmly said: "I expected the Heat to win, but it was Coach Spoel who made Wade lead the team in the second quarter, but everything ended here..."
