95. The world is spinning, iron elbows open the way

The Heat brought the game back to Miami in the third game of the finals. In this game, the Heat and the Timberwolves scored 1: 1 draw, especially the tactical changes in G2 have allowed Miami fans to see hope again.

Even though Wade's performance was still terrible in this round of series, "Shark" O'Neal was the first to break through the shackles and turned the sharks in the Timberwolves' inside line, helping the Heat defeat the Timberwolves, making the situation no longer passive.

However, although the Heat will play at home in this game, the Timberwolves "crazy guys" Spreville and Eddie Griffin will both come back. This is definitely bad news for the Heat.

In the last game, the reason why the Heat could defeat the Timberwolves was that in addition to the tactical changes of head coach Stan Van Gundy helped the "Big Shark" O'Neal break through the constraints, it also had a lot to do with the Timberwolves' inability to attack.

Without the Madman, an All-Star guard who can average 22.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the playoffs, the Timberwolves' ability to tear apart the defense has greatly reduced, and they can only rely on Garnett and Kassel to use their personal abilities to score.

But when the two were taken care of by the Heat, it was difficult for the entire Timberwolves to play an advantage against this Heat.

After all, the Heat's overall defense is good. With O'Neal in the interior and Wade and Eddie Jones in the outside, the Timberwolves do not have the explosive score to break through the defense line.

Unless the "madman" Spreville and Nehbar return to the game at the same time, the Timberwolves have always won by defense!

………

"Today I want to teach Dwyane a little lesson. Everyone knows what I told me before."

"Just be careful not to move too much when making a foul, and don't be added with malicious fouls by the referee. After all, winning the championship is our ultimate goal."

"This matter is put on the first place. After the team gains the lead, it is not too late to teach that guy Dwyane a lesson."

"Ratriel and Eddie will return to the game in this game, and the Heat will not be our opponent at all."

"For the sake of honor, for myself, and for the first championship trophy in team history, guys let go of the game on the court, let everyone open their eyes to see who is the strongest team in the league today!" Before the game, Luke stood off the court and shouted inspiration at the players.

The comeback between Madman and Eddie Griffin made Luke feel at ease. As long as the players can perform normally on the court, Luke will definitely win this year's championship trophy!

As for Wade's annoying slut, Luke naturally wants to teach him a lesson. Since Stan Van Gundy has never taught him the rules of the field, Luke does not recommend giving him a good lesson.

Of course, he would not treat Wadeluke as cruel as he would treat Bruce? Bowen. In Luke's eyes, even if he was scrapped in his career, Luke would not be soft-hearted.

Although this guy Wade's mouth is disgusting, he doesn't enjoy the same field treatment as Bowen.

However, since Wade doesn't like brushing his teeth, he'll have a good rest in this round of series!

………

After the game began, the Heat continued their offensive strategy in the last game.

Obviously, the outbreak of "Big Shark" O'Neal in the last game made Stan Van Gundy taste the sweetness.

Using O'Neal as the team's main attack point, and then let "Flash" Wade play without the ball and act as an empty cutter without the ball. This style of playing is much more efficient than before.

Naishastein Van Gundy underestimated Luke. In the last game, Luke had already suffered a secret loss in this style of play. Luke naturally did not allow the same thing to suffer twice.

In this game, Luke played a mixed defense on the defensive end, and unlike his regular position, Luke also improved his original mixed defense.

This mixed defense is more suitable to defend O'Neal and Wade. After all, the main scoring methods of these two are in the penalty area, and the threat from the outside is really small. The Timberwolves have no need to waste too much effort on the outside.

Hybrid defense is a defensive style that integrates two forms of man-to-man defense and regional joint defense. Its biggest feature is that it can flexibly utilize the advantages of man-to-man defense and regional joint defense based on the opponent's situation.

The way to use hybrid defense is usually to choose players with good physical strength and strong personal combat capabilities to focus on the opponent's offensive core with human-to-man defense, limiting their freedom of movement. As for other players, they mostly use regional joint defense.

Simply put, the core purpose of hybrid defense is to limit the opponent's core players, and then other players make various changes through regional joint defense, and by the way, restrict role players.

The reason why the Timberwolves were unable to deal with the defensive end in the last game was mainly because regional joint defense restricted the mobility of the field.

When the Heat chooses the hero's way of playing, the Timberwolves must make a choice. The poor joint defense mobility makes it difficult for the Timberwolves to take on a big stake and limit the performance of the two stars.

However, when the Timberwolves changed their normal behavior in this game, the defensive mobility of the entire team instantly increased several times.

When the players knew very well which player should be defending the Heat, the Timberwolves' defensive pressure on the court was even more terrifying than before, and Wade and O'Neal's offensive space was once again compressed.

Even if the two stand on both sides of the strength, the Timberwolves can guarantee that they will put pressure on the two at different stages at the same time, causing the Heat to get into trouble again.

At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led the Heat by 11 points to finish the game with another blockade against the Heat on the defensive end.

"What a bunch of hateful guys, how could there be such a cunning person!" Wade said gritting his teeth in the midfield locker room.

"Stan, think of a solution quickly. I've had enough of this kind of defense. If we continue like this, we will definitely lose this game." Sitting on the changing bench with a depressed look on his face, O'Neal only felt that Van Gundy was not a little worse than Luke.

"I try my best to find a way to crack it." After wiping the sweat from my forehead, Stan Van Gundy and the coaching staff were busy discussing countermeasures.

After returning from the second half, the Timberwolves still suppressed the Heat in the situation, making it difficult for the Heat to turn over for a long time.

However, in the third quarter, the Timberwolves' defense method of treating Wade has changed.

Originally, Wade, the Timberwolves defended, always let him shoot two steps away from the three-point line. Once Wade breaks through to the inside, the two will block all of Wade's breakthrough routes in advance, so that Wade can only try shooting at mid- and long distances.

But when the Timberwolves came back in the third quarter, they had the intention of deliberately letting Wade break through to the inside. However, when Wade held the ball and broke through to the inside, the defender who was passed by one step would always raise his hand and pull Wade's head intentionally or unintentionally.

This allowed the referee to catch several consecutive calls and fouls, leaving Wade standing on the free throw line many times.

"Bang!"

"Du~Du!"

As Wade passed the madman again and broke through to the inside, the madman who was passing by one step turned around and slapped Wade on the forehead.

This time, the referee not only called the madman another foul, but also made Wade give up dribbling and kneel on the ground with pain, covering his forehead.

Wade can't remember how many times he was beaten in the second half. Wade only knew that his brain was a little congested, his vision was a little confused, and even his lips were swollen.

"These damn devils!"

At the beginning, Wade was very excited when facing the opportunity to break through. Even though the Timberwolves hit him in the head many times, Wade, who was standing on the free throw line, was still excited!

After all, every score in Wade in this round of series is very difficult, and there are very few opportunities to stand on the free throw line, which makes Wade feel that his spring is coming.

But after a long time, Wade couldn't resist every breakthrough, he was injured by the Timberwolves' defensive movements, and every stroke was hit in the head, which made Wade gradually start to be confused, and even the breakthrough began to become powerless.

It was not until this time that the Madman passed by the Madman turned around and slapped Wade on the forehead, which made Wade feel his brain was congested upwards, and he was slapped in an instant, his eyes turned black. It took a long time before Wade gradually regained his sight.

With the help of his teammates, Wade stood up and walked to the free throw line to prepare for the free throw. At this time, Wade's brain was still a little confused, and he felt that the floor under his feet was swaying left and right like cotton and was not at all stable.

Passing by the madman, Wade couldn't help but look fierce: "Do you think this can stop me from scoring? What a joke! You can't defend me!"

Wade's appearance made the madman sneer: "It's best to wait until you can walk off the arena by yourself today."

With Wade making both free throws, the Heat are still 7 points behind the Timberwolves.

After the Madman's return, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower increased completely to the naked eye. The Madman's existence made the Heat dare not double-team Garnett without restraint, otherwise the Madman would definitely make the Heat pay the price.

It was the Heat's offensive round again. This time Wade used the pick-and-roll to kill straight into the inside, and passed the Madman in one step, and suffered another heavy blow in the back of the Madman's head.

However, the referee's whistle was not heard in his ear. Wade gritted his teeth and endured the dizziness and prepared to make a layup. However, while Wade was trying to pull the rod and layup, he felt a romantic feeling coming from the left side.

Wade turned his head slightly and saw Carl Malone coming from the side to help defend from the flank. "Iron Elbows Opening the Way" was Carl Malone's signature defensive move. Then Carl Malone's pair of iron elbows hit Wade's head hard.

Wade, who was already dizzy, completely turned black in front of him. He fell to the ground from the air and lay on the ground with his head in his arms for a long time but could not turn over.

This scene quickly attracted the attention of the referee. The referee directly called out Carl Malone for a defensive foul, but Alonzo Mooning, who was standing by, seemed not satisfied with the penalty and rushed up at Malone with a fierce look, which was quite a bit of a fight.

Mo Ning's actions immediately made the players on both sides rushed over, separating Ma Long and Mo Ning, for fear that the two of them would have further conflicts on the court.

"You are still so dirty when playing basketball for so many years!" Mo Ning angrily accused Ma Long from the air by his teammates.

Mourning and Carl Malone have been fighting in the league for many years. Mourning knows that Carl Malone likes to make the way on the court. In Alonzo Mourning's opinion, Malone's elbow strike was completely intentional!
