"Don't let Rondo dribble more!"

"Force the basketball from Rondo's hands as soon as possible!"

"Even if there is no way to force Rondo's ball out as early as possible, don't let Rondo have space to play the ball!"

"Damn it!"

With Spoelstra's voice roaring excitedly on the sidelines, the entire American Airlines Arena was in chaos!

In the first half of the game, before the official timeout of the first quarter came, Spoelstra looked like a famous coach when he stood on the sidelines. Pat Riley Jr. and Zen Master Jr.

Feel.

But now, not to mention the Miami Heat fans and reporters and commentators on the sidelines, even the audience in front of the TV can clearly feel that Spoelstra is in a bit of a mess now.

However, even though everyone knew that Spoelstra was in complete chaos at this time, no one in the audience in front of the TV felt that there was anything wrong with Spoelstra's current excitement and panic.

After the Seattle SuperSonics' official timeout in the first quarter, the team's offensive problems were solved.

James' strategy of defending free agents was quickly solved by Nelson.

Not to mention that Spoelstra, as the person involved, was a little flustered and at a loss.

Even Phil Jackson was a little shocked.

Of course he didn't underestimate Nelson.

In his mind, Old Nelson has always been very powerful.

But even so, Spoelstra's tactic is not that easy to crack.

It’s not just that the cracking ideas are not found so quickly.

Even if a cracking idea can be found, can players execute such an idea?

At the very least, in the entire NBA, the head coach who is willing to trust Rondo so much is probably the ‘old madman’ Nelson!

Damn it, I believe Rondo can stick to the ball for so long under the pressure of James. What level of ball control does Rondo need?

It's not easy for even Kobe Bryant to do this, let alone Rondo, who is known as the best offensive guard in the league.

Also, after being forced to the extreme by James and completely keeping James by his side, Rondo can still pass the ball out under such circumstances. What level of passing ability is this?!

You know, the balls Rondo passed just now are definitely not comparable to the fast break balls passed to Yes or the volcano balls that Yes received himself!

The balls that Rondo passed to Yes in the past tested Rondo's timing of passing the ball. What tested the strength of Yes was catching the ball, holding on to the opponent, and finding opportunities to catch the ball.

But this time, it is Rondo who is carrying James, it is Durant who runs and the other Sonics players who receive the ball that test the timing, and it is Rondo who tests his strength!

If Rondo and yes were paired before, the protagonist was yes and the supporting role was Rondo.

So this time, the protagonist is Rondo, and the supporting roles are Durant, Millsap or Milicic’s other Sonics players!

“It’s incredible!”

Phil Jackson really found it incredible.

It’s not just the incredible ball-handling and passing abilities Rondo showed just now.

As a head coach, I am also amazed by Nelson's tactical attainments, madness and ability to know people well.

In tonight's game, the Heat pose two difficult problems to the Sonics.

Regardless of tactical attainments, knowing people well or being crazy, as long as there is one less characteristic, it would be impossible to crack Spoelstra's defensive libero tactics so quickly.

It can be said that Spoelstra could become famous in one fell swoop with this game if he met any head coach. Unfortunately, it was Nelson who he met!

Originally, after Spoelstra used James' defensive and offensive free agent tactics in this game, he felt that there was no suspense in this game or even this series.

The Heat will win with a huge score of 4-2.

But now, the suspense is back!

James attacked the free agents and challenged Durant and Millsap to fight. The Sonics couldn't solve it, and neither could Old Nelson.

Yes is the only one in the entire Sonics who can defend James one-on-one, but James doesn't play Yes at all, and the entire Heat team avoids Yes and plays.

In this case, unless the SuperSonics give another yes to make the Heat inevitable, there is no way to solve it.

The Sonics can't solve the Heat's offense.

Now as long as the Heat defend like this and leave Rondo free, they can't solve the Sonics' offense.

The situation of the game instantly changed from the Heat suppressing the SuperSonics to the Heat and the SuperSonics fighting each other.

And under such an offensive situation, the SuperSonics' offense is still better than the Heat's offense!

Because at the end of the first quarter, the Heat, which led by 8 points in the first half, did not expand the score to more than ten points as the commentators imagined at the end of the first quarter, but were overtaken by the SuperSonics.

The point difference is only 3 points!

42 to 39!

This is the score between the two teams on the field.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Sonics scored 23 points, while the Heat scored 18 points.

Not only has the Heat's defense declined, but their offense has also declined.

This is normal, because the Sonics' offensive efficiency has increased and the Heat have fewer opportunities to counterattack.

The Heat need to get down and play the Sonics.

Even if James plays Durant or Millsap or Wade plays Rondo in singles more efficiently, it can't be compared to a fast break!

When the SuperSonics and Heat competed like this on the court, the SuperSonics already had the advantage. Phil Jackson didn't believe that Spoelstra couldn't see it.

But he still persisted.

Don't dare to change your defense against yes.

Spoelstra is indeed quite cautious.

If it were him, he would choose the same strategy as Spoelstra.

What’s more, yes’s offensive positioning is really tricky!

It happens to be a point where he can participate in the attack at any time, but the opponent cannot participate in the attack.

If yes is currently standing farther away or in the midfield, Spoelstra may choose to ask Ben Gordon to come back to help, and it will be too late to run back after Rondo is dealt with.

After all, if yes wants to participate in the attack, it has to go inside, which takes time.

If you go a little further in, you can participate in the offense and defense of both sides. Other members of the Heat can participate in temporarily assisting the defense, and Ben Gordon and Wade can also contact other teammates.

But the position where yes is standing now is indeed quite embarrassing for the Heat.

This seems to pinpoint the speed limit of Wade and Ben Gordon right here.

Nelson is great, Rondo is great, yes is equally great!

Even if he doesn't run or catch the ball, he just stands there, that's still knowledge!

How did a young man who had only played in the NBA for three years get such a wealth of game experience that he admired?

Sometimes, Phil Jackson feels that Yes is really a magical human being who seems to be a non-human being!

It's hard for Spoelstra and the Heat to deal with it now.

Spoelstra doesn't dare to let Wade or Ben Gordon defend alone in this position.

At the same time, we can’t always leave Rondo alone, right?

Rondo was forced by James, and Wade also stepped up his efforts to beat Rondo on the offensive end. Maybe Rondo's error rate in handling the ball and passing the ball will increase due to his reduced physical strength, but when will that happen?

?

In the first half of the game, the Heat lost by five points!

It seems that the Heat have a three-point advantage, but this advantage really can't last long!

Should we wait until the Heat are caught up?

As a master of psychological warfare, Phil Jackson has now guessed Spoelstra's thoughts.

Now Spoelstra is thinking of other ways to respond.

Now it's time to wait for change.

I really can't think of a way, so I can only make a multiple-choice question between changing the defense against yes or continuing the defense when the team is caught up.

This is a good approach where playing it safe and cautious is not the answer.

At this time, there are not many NBA coaches who can still tell that yes cannot be easily rescued by the SuperSonics.

In the final analysis, everything Nelson did was to rescue yes.

Although I was suspending Nelson and Rondo just now, to be honest, Spoelstra is also quite amazing.

This is a first-year NBA coach.

You couldn't see it until the Heat were not in crisis.

After the Heat encountered a crisis, whether it was solving James' undercover situation or making tactical changes, it was a bright spot.
